Automated Parking Garage The core technology is based on car exchange parking robots and mechanical parking equipment transporter technology. Car exchange technology can be divided into with-pallet technology and without-pallet technology depending on whether there is a pallet. With technological development and the prosperity of the automated parking garage industry, without-pallet technology has become the trend.
According to Automated Parking Garage Association Relevant statistics show that PPY, PXD, and PCS storage-type automated parking garages add about 100,000 mechanical parking spaces annually, accounting for 10% of the total annual mechanical parking spaces in automated parking garages. Since 2010, the growth rate of storage-type automated parking garages has been 2-20 times, with the PCS vertical lifting type automated parking garages growing the fastest.
In order to guide the automated parking garage industry parking robot In 2019, the Automated Parking Garage Association released the group standard "Standard for Mechanical Parking Equipment Transporters" of the China Heavy Machinery Industry Association to guide the development of technology. In this standard, the parking robot car transporter refers to the automatic car handling device in the mechanical automated parking garage. It is characterized by having an independent power drive device and can autonomously walk to complete the handover and handling of car exchanges. The standard specifies the terminology and definitions, types and basic parameters, technical requirements, experimental methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, and storage of mechanical parking equipment transporters.
Power Mode of Mechanical Parking Equipment Transporter
The drive mode and power mode are the power forms of the automated parking garage transporter. Various power forms can coexist on a single device, mainly including hydraulic, electric motor, and pneumatic. Currently, in the market of parking robot transporters, the electric motor-driven car transporter has the highest market share.
The power supply method of the car transporter can be divided into wired and wireless. Wired car transporters use trailing cables or sliding contacts to power the transporter. Wireless ones use rechargeable batteries, capacitors, or other energy storage devices or buried cables to power the transporter. Currently, most parking robot transporters on the market use wired power supply.
Walking, Lifting, and Safety Design of Mechanical Parking Equipment Car Transporter
When the transporter is handing over and transporting the car, the force-bearing part of the car must be the car tires; otherwise, no other parts of the car can be used as force-bearing support points.
To ensure that the car transporter can walk smoothly between the mechanical parking spaces, the transverse transfer car, the elevator platform, and the ground entrance and exit, the transporter wheels and walking mechanism must adapt to the running gap between the transfer car and the mechanical parking space, the leveling error of the elevator, and the running safety gap of the elevator shaft. When the car transporter walks under the rated load, it must not interfere with the ground, and the lowest point of the car tire should not be less than 20mm from the walking plane or comb rack gap of the car transporter.
Warning Signs of Car Transporter
The standard mentions that car transporter clear "transportable car specifications" should be set in appropriate positions. However, many automated parking garages use a human-vehicle separation design, and many car owners or users cannot see the transporter. These warning signs generally appear at the entrance and exit of the automated parking garage. Clear signs should be set for requirements related to the safety and maintenance of the car transporter, such as prohibition of stepping.
