Description

Outer forklift parking robot with blocking teeth

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to the technical field of the robot that parks, a parking area is with moving the vehicle to or remove from the automation equipment on parking stall, specifically speaking are outer fork truck parking robot with fender tooth and parking implementation method thereof.

Background

With the development of society, the economy is improved, the number of automobiles is increased sharply, household automobiles are indispensable vehicles for each family, the problem of difficult parking in each city is solved, the parking queue and the parking space finding time are long, and the traditional method for drivers to find the parking space by themselves cannot meet the parking requirements in each city at present. In order to reduce the time for finding a parking space, parking robots having different structures are available on the market.

Among them, a parking robot that lifts a vehicle by inserting the bottom of the vehicle from the side and sandwiching a tire has a wide application prospect. Generally, such a parking robot employs a four-claw structure including a U-shaped frame body with moving wheels and four holding arms slidable on a long side of the frame body. The parking robot with the structure has large occupied space and high weight, and the problem of vehicle sideslip is easy to occur because the structure is unstable because no supporting structure is arranged below the fork arms. In addition, a parking robot with a two-claw structure is also available in the market, and comprises a frame body shaped like a Chinese character 'yi' and two fork arms with universal wheels and capable of sliding on the frame body. The parking robot with the structure changes the shape of the frame body, reduces the number of the fork arms, and increases the universal wheel supporting structure below the fork arms. However, when the vehicle is subjected to a large bump, the vehicle still has the potential of slipping. Meanwhile, when a vehicle with a large difference between the front and rear counterweights is transported, the situation that the tire on the side with the lighter counterweight of the vehicle directly passes over the fork arm and the tire on the side with the heavier counterweight is not pressed on the fork arm can occur in the process of pressing the tire, and the application range of the parking robot with the structure is limited.
