What are the advantages of designing a mechanical garage

In the past decade, the growth rate of motor vehicles in urban areas in China has been fast, especially the growth rate of motor vehicle ownership in major cities and the traffic pressure it brings far exceeds the growth rate of basic transportation facilities. With the growth of motor vehicle numbers, many large and medium-sized cities not only experience severe congestion on the roads, but also see an increasing number of instances of private road occupation and parking on green spaces, leading to an increase in the usage of multi-story parking garages. So what are the advantages of mechanical parking garage‍ design?

1. Safe movement in the air

Improvements were made to the simple lifting car garage plan, adding walking and turning mechanisms on the basis of the only lifting mechanism, so that the access and storage of upper-level vehicles can completely avoid the impact of lower-level vehicles by placing the car carrier on the vehicle aisle. During movement, the car carrier board first moves a distance along the aisle, then through rotation, makes the car carrier board parallel to the vehicle aisle and descends to the ground, completing the entire process. Because the walking and turning process may interfere with other garages, moving in the air is a safer way to do so.

2. Strong power

For mechanical parking equipment, common driving methods include hydraulic drive and electric motor drive. The hydraulic motor has a large torque and small volume, which can reduce the overall volume of the mechanical structure, but requires the establishment of a separate pump station, leading to high costs. At the same time, when the garage is in motion, rubber hoses need to be connected, and repeated bending will have a significant impact on the lifespan of the rubber hoses. A multi-story garage is a low-frequency mechanical equipment, and in order to ensure that vehicles can access at any time, the hydraulic pump station must constantly replenish lost pressure, resulting in significant energy waste. Common three-phase asynchronous electric motor drive, under the same torque, has a larger volume compared to the hydraulic motor, but because it does not require energy to maintain the state, and the dragging cable has almost no impact on the cable life, most garages use three-phase asynchronous electric motors as the power source.

During the movement process of the mechanical parking garage‍, the rack and rail are fixed, the reducer and walking gear are fixed on the walking box, driving the walking box and the column and car carrier board above it to move back and forth. In the process of moving out of the garage, it is necessary to consider the force situation of the entire mechanical structure on the vehicles. Considering the force situation as unbalanced, the force is very large, so steel wheel and rail operation mode is adopted.
