The cluster transfer robot can greatly reduce the construction cost of intelligent parking lots.

The present invention can provide an intelligent vehicle transport robot for a single-level parking lot, wherein: parking lines for indicating parking locations of respective vehicles are marked on a parking lot formed at a single level; the parking lines are marked in a checkerboard pattern so as to exclude drive aisles for vehicle movements and thus increase the number of vehicles that can be accommodated in parking spaces; and a vehicle transport robot (10) is provided in the parking lot, which performs vehicle parking and retrieval by moving a vehicle above parked vehicles, whereby due to exclusion of drive aisles, the number of vehicles that can be accommodated in parking spaces is increased as compared to a conventional parking lot having the same area, and thus the parking efficiency of the parking lot can be improved.

A transportation arrangement for transportation of an object on a surface comprises at least one transportation unit. The transportation unit comprises a housing comprising a vertical front surface, two arms movably connected to the housing at each side of the vertical front surface, at least one rolling element arranged at a lower portion of the housing, and a power source connected to the rolling elements and the movable arms. The rolling element are configured to roll in any horizontal direction on the surface.

A vehicle transport apparatus is formed by a first robot and a second robot that enter underneath a vehicle, lift up wheels of the vehicle, and travel. The first robot and the second robot each include a distance sensor that detects a distance between the corresponding robot and an object near the corresponding robot, and a robot computing section that controls a travel operation and a loading operation of the corresponding robot. When the vehicle is to be lowered in a parking region, the robot computing section adjusts a parking position of the vehicle based on information detected by the distance sensor.

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.
