The operating principle of mechanical three-dimensional garage

   The working principle of the stacked automated parking system: The internal space of the stacked automated parking system is a steel structure parking frame that can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of cars, with an elevator at one end or in the middle serving as the up and down passage. It mainly uses the elevator's vertical movement and the horizontal movement of the cars to reach the designated parking spaces. It uses sensors to determine if the cars have been safely delivered to the designated parking spaces, and uses a car-carrying transverse shifting device to deliver the cars on the car-carrying board to the parking frame or take out the cars already stored in the designated parking spaces and transport them back to the ground level.

   Because the process of storing and retrieving vehicles involves three-dimensional movements, namely the horizontal direction, lateral direction, and vertical direction. In these conditions, the vertical movement is achieved through the elevation, the horizontal movement is achieved through the forward and backward movement of the car, and the lateral movement is achieved through the transverse shifting of the load plate. In other words, the cycle of vehicle entry is composed of movements in the horizontal, lateral, and vertical directions. Because the geometric dimensions and movement speeds in each direction are different, and in some special cases, there are mostly interlocking relationships between most moving parts, when the elevator and the travelling car are separated, they can move separately, while when the elevator is transporting the car, only the elevator moves.

   We have learned that due to the different technical content and manufacturing processes of various parking equipment, there is a huge difference in the cost of parking spaces. Currently, the market prices for low-end and high-end products are between RMB 20,000 and 80,000. Therefore, the provider of automated parking equipment suggests that we analyze the cost-effectiveness based on actual needs, rationally, and with evidence. The quality of the stacked parking garage is mainly reflected in the elevator, transfer car, deceleration motor, electrical control system, steel frame structure, and car-carrying board. Domestic equipment and imported equipment (such as intelligent carriers) differ several times or even ten times in price. At the same time, processing technology, patented technology, and corporate brands will have a greater impact on prices. International brand cars and domestic general brand cars have roughly the same components and similar functions, but the prices vary greatly, and the pricing of parking equipment is also the same.

   Reasonable prices should be based on the quality (performance) of the specified prices; if investors only pursue low prices, manufacturers will either lower the standard configuration of the products or use inferior materials to obtain more orders, which will result in irreparable damage at the cost of quality. Generally speaking, foreign technology or equipment is distributed domestically by the manufacturer; main materials or equipment (such as h-beam, intelligent transferor) are jointly produced by manufacturers, and the manufacturing cost is relatively low, and the price can be slightly lower than the market price.

   Manufacturers or sellers are required to provide accurate quotations, which must be based on completed stacked parking garage project designs, with specific configuration standards and detailed equipment lists. The comprehensive quotation should include design, manufacturing, customs duties (for imported equipment), transportation, installation, commissioning, acceptance, insurance, maintenance, as well as factory management fees, comprehensive taxes, and corresponding profits. If the contract is not strict, the investor will inevitably pay the price for their negligence. In conclusion, the selection of stacked parking garages should be reasonably priced and adhere to the principle of evidence. This is a highly specialized work that requires rational thinking, attention to every detail, careful investigation, and the elimination of misleading factors through open bidding and negotiation in order to obtain a satisfactory intelligent stacked parking garage.
