A vehicle transfer robot (10) of the present invention, disposed vertically on the ground, is formed to have four vertical frames (110) disposed at a predetermined distance apart from each other and formed to have a quadrangular frame, and a quadrangle by connecting the upper end parts of the four vertical frames (110), respectively, wherein the vehicle transfer robot (10) includes: a frame part (100) including an upper frame (120); a driving part (200) installed at each of the lower end parts of the vertical frames (110) for moving the frame part (100); and a carriage (300) installed in the frame part (100) for loading a vehicle.

Systems, apparatus and methods for a motor vehicle parking robot. The parking robot includes a pair of wheel support arms and a retracted wheel retention arm configured laterally from the outside of the parking robot and configured to lift a wheel of a vehicle by extending the pair of wheel support arms and affix the wheel in place on the parking robot by extending the wheel retention arms.

A carriage for handling a vehicle in an automatic parking system includes a frame axially movable along a first longitudinal axis, rotating clamps, each including a pair of counter-rotating arms rotating with respect to a vertical axis orthogonal to both the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis. The carriage includes a transverse-centering unit with transverse pushers, transversely extensible, moving along an axis parallel to the transverse axis and independent of the rotating clamps. In a first retracted position they do not interact with the vehicle wheels. When extended, they come into contact with at least one vehicle wheel. The extensible transverse pushers are on left and right sides of the carriage, and simultaneously move in a symmetrical extension, being operated by a respective motor positioned laterally of the longitudinal axis of the carriage. The extensible transverse pushers include a pantograph for longitudinally aligning the vehicle along the longitudinal axis.

Transferring carriage (100) of vehicles for automatic mechanic parking systems comprising at least a frame (1); means of handling of said carriage (100); and at least a device (13) of centering, raising and keeping up of the wheel (32) of a vehicle, said device (13) comprising at least a couple of clamp elements (17) and at least a movable support (14); each couple of clamp elements (17) being supported by said movable support (14); said movable support (14) being transversally translatable for positioning said clamp elements (17) of a same couple in proximity of a wheel (32) of an axle of a vehicle such that the centering, raising and keeping up of the two wheels (32) of an axle of a vehicle is achieved by means of a single transversal movement towards outside of the carriage of said at least one movable support (14) and of the couple of clamp elements (17) integral therewith.

The present invention relates to a vehicle left and right alignment device for a parking facility. Provided is a vehicle left and right alignment device for a parking facility which is installed at an entrance of a parking facility to align wheels of an incoming vehicle, the device comprising: a front wheel alignment unit (2, 2) and a rear wheel alignment unit (3) respectively provided on both sides of a central passage part (11) of a frame (1) installed at the entrance of the parking facility. The rear wheel alignment unit (3) comprises: a plurality of rollers (31) extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and arranged in the vehicle width direction to be rotatable; and a driving unit (30) for rotating the rollers (31) to adjust and align the position of a rear wheel of the vehicle positioned on the rollers (31). The present invention solves conventional problems in which durability is decreased due to occurrence of uneven wear caused by uneven loads applied to a moving means or the body of a vehicle is damaged as a vehicle is moved by a moving means in a non-aligned state. As such, the present invention has an effect of safely performing vehicle transfer by means of a moving means and an effect of reducing manufacturing costs by simplifying a structure.

A control device includes a transport mechanism that can transport one or more vehicles placed on the transport mechanism in an area where at least boarding or alighting is performed and a transport mechanism controller that controls an operation of the transport mechanism, wherein the transport mechanism controller controls the transport mechanism to transport a vehicle placed on the transport mechanism to a parking position.

A parking robot for a transportation vehicle and a method for operating a parking robot. The parking robot has a pair of wheel bearing arms which use a crank element to indirectly mount rotatably about a respective rotation axis. The parking robot autonomously moves from the outside to a receiving position beside a wheel of a wheel axle of the transportation vehicle in which the respective wheel bearing arms are parallel with the wheel axle and one of the wheel bearing arms in a vehicle longitudinal direction is positioned in front of the wheel and the other wheel bearing arm in the vehicle longitudinal direction is positioned behind the wheel. The parking robot raises the wheel of the transportation vehicle by rotating the respective wheel bearing arm about the respective rotation axis in a predefined rotation direction, wherein the respective rotation directions of the respective wheel bearing arms are mutually opposed.
