The first robot parking garage in China, located at Confucius Temple Station on Nanjing Metro Line 3, has been built. In this parking garage, parking and car pickup are all completed by robots. Pick up the car.

I believe that many people have had such an experience. They drove to the shopping mall for dinner, turned around in the parking lot for a long time to find a suitable parking space, finally parked the car, and when they came back after eating, they found that they forgot to park the car. where is it. Some parking lots are like underground labyrinths, and it takes a lot of effort to park and pick up a car. For rookie drivers with unfamiliar skills, reversing into the garage is even more of a headache.

The emergence of a new type of garage will help you solve these problems. At present, the first robot parking garage in China, located at Confucius Temple Station on Nanjing Metro Line 3, has been built. In this parking garage, parking and car pickup are all done by robots. The car owner only needs to stand at the entrance and exit, and can realize one-click. Park and pick up.

Perhaps it is not the same as the image of the robot in your mind. The parking robot is a guy with a length of 4.6 meters and a width of 2 meters. The average load of the parking robot is 2.5 tons, the maximum travel speed can reach 1.5 meters per second, and the error of positioning accuracy is also within 5 mm. Its main task is to get under the car and load it into a suitable parking space. The structure of the robot parking garage is very unique. The ground floor is a parking platform for car owners to park and pick up their cars, and the second underground floor is the real parking lot, where robots can shuttle freely.

For car owners, the parking process is very simple. All you need to do is to drive the car into the parking platform on the first floor, then get out of the car, close the door, and then hold the parking card issued by the staff and display it on the smart display at the door. Swipe and accept the machine's "interrogation". "Is the car turned off? Is the handbrake on? Is there anyone else in the car?" After pressing the confirm button for each question, the screen will display "Saving the car" and you can leave.

Then, the elevator will send the car to the parking lot 6 meters underground, and the parking robot will automatically drill under the car, lift the car gently, and transport the car to the parking space through laser navigation. Each parking space is equipped with a fixed comb-shaped parking rack, and the robot will leave the car after gently putting it down.

When the car owner comes to pick up the car, just swipe the parking card on the smart display outside the garage, and the parking robot will automatically carry the car back to the parking platform at the entrance. Whether it is parking or picking up the car, it takes less than 3 minutes.

You must be curious, why the fixed parking plate and the parking robot can achieve seamless handover? This is mainly due to the comb-tooth exchange technology. Both the fixed parking board and the parking robot use a row of comb teeth like wheels to support the car. The comb teeth of the two are just interlaced with each other. By raising and lowering, the handover of the carrying tasks can be realized on the spot. The reason why the parking robot can accurately reach the designated position is that a white reflective column is installed in front of each parking space, and the detector installed at the front of the parking robot generates laser induction on the reflective column, so that the car can be accurately sent into the parking space.

It is understood that this parking robot is developed by Shenzhen Yifeng Automation Technology Co., Ltd. It is especially suitable for use in small special-shaped garages or super-large garages. Since there is no need to open the door to get in and out of the car, and there is no need for a wide driving lane, compared with traditional parking garages, the number of parking spaces can be increased by more than 40% on the same large site, which greatly saves space. The parking garages guarded by robots can also be unmanned in the audience, which greatly reduces the potential safety hazards.

Parking uses high-tech, will the parking fee be very expensive? The project leader revealed that due to the reduction of management costs, the parking fee will not be higher than that of ordinary garages. For the robot, the most important thing is to ensure sufficient power. After this parking robot is fully charged, it can work continuously for 3 to 4 hours. If the power is too low, it will automatically run to the charging place to charge, and it will be fully charged in 2 hours.

Just imagine, if one day, parking robots are popularized in major cities, people will no longer need to practice the technology of precise reversing and storage!
