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.

An intelligent storage control system is provided in the present invention. The system includes a tower body, a delivery module, a drive module, a clamping module, an operation module, a control module, and a communication unit. When the control module receives a storage command transmitted by the operation module, the main controller is configured to analyze whether there is free storage space. If there is a free storage space, the control module controls the drive module to drive the delivery module to push the bicycle to the storage space of the tower body, and a serial number of the storage space is displaced on a display screen. The present invention can operate conveniently, and can save the footprint area of bicycles.

A three-dimensional rotating intelligent storage compartment is provided in the present invention, which includes a tower body, a center of the tower body being provided with a central garage for storing bicycles, the central garage including a central pillar. A plurality of layers of placement plates are arranged around the central pillar, and each layer of the placement plates is equally divided into a plurality of independent storage spaces by a longitudinal partitioning plate. A longitudinal edge on one side of the longitudinal partitioning plate is fixed to the central pillar; each storage space is provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping bicycle. An inner wall of the tower body is longitudinally provided with a plurality of loop tracks, each loop track is provided with a plurality of ferry parking spaces, which are movable within the loop track, is capable of clamping bicycle in a standing position and capable of pushing bicycle to the placement plate. The present invention can operate conveniently, and can save footprint area of bicycles.

A connected vehicle lift and storage system (VLSS) can include a plurality of platforms for storing vehicles that are movable between a plurality of positions. The connected VLSS can communicate with a computing device operated by a user to receive requests to store or retrieve the user's vehicle(s). As part of the request, location data generated by the computing device can be transmitted to the connected VLSS. In response to the request, the connected VLSS can determine a sequence of platform movements to fulfill the request to store or retrieve the user's vehicle(s). The sequence can be determined, at least in part, on the location data of the requesting user and/or the location data of other users. In addition, the sequence can be determined to minimize wait times for the requesting user and other users.

A vehicle lift and storage system (VLSS) can comprise a platform that can be moved between a plurality of positions by one or more moving mechanisms. The platform can be equipped with a wireless, multi-axis accelerometer that transmits data regarding the platform to a control system of the VLSS via a wireless sensor link. Using the data from the multi-axis accelerometer, the control system can generate control signals to control the one or more moving mechanisms. The control system can also detect the occurrence of a safety event based on the data received from the multi-axis accelerometer. In response to detecting a safety event, the control system can cause the one or more moving mechanisms to enter a safety mode to alleviate or respond to the detected safety event.
