Position and vehicle presence detection solutions

Sensor solutions for position and vehicle presence detection solutions


Stereo garages are equipped with a special loading plate for each parking space and complete the entire process of accessing the vehicle by means of an electrically controlled lifting and traversing drive system. The load board will be parked in front of the designated parking space under the control of the drive system, and then the vehicle will be lifted and transported to the parking space by the mechanical equipment at the bottom. It is important to make sure that the carriers are parked in place. Proximity sensors primarily detect metal objects. They have stable performance, high tolerance of hazardous environments, low maintenance requirements, low cost and high efficiency. It is the device of choice for positioning detection. So let's take a look at how proximity sensors are used in stereo parking.


(1) Carrier plate lift in place detection
Solutions:
IM18, IF40 proximity sensors
The upper level of the carrier plate for lifting movement, the need for each carrier plate vertical movement of the track at the point of the stratification were installed a limit switch, used to detect the carrier plate down and up in place or not. Inductive proximity switches IM18 and IF40 series proximity switches can be used here, which have a long detection distance and can leave enough safety distance for the moving machinery.

(2) Detecting the presence or absence of cars on the carrier plate
Solutions:
A set of PF50T diagonal photoelectric switches is placed on the diagonal of each carrier plate, which is used to detect the presence or absence of vehicles on the carrier plate. When the counter-emitting photoelectric light path is blocked by the car, the sensor gives a signal to the system to carry out the next action. PF50T photoelectric sensor adopts infrared light source, the counter-emitting installation distance is up to 50 m. It can simultaneously meet the needs of the detection of the parking space of various specifications and sizes.
