[0027] The technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] As Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a car-finding device for a smart parking lot, including a parking space positioning module, a robot storage cabinet 1, a computer module, a display screen 5, a plurality of car-finding robots 2, and a plurality of gate mechanisms 4; a parking space positioning module is installed on each parking space, and the parking space positioning modules correspond to the parking spaces one by one. The parking space positioning module is signal-connected to the cloud server; a plurality of storage cavities are evenly arranged on the robot storage cabinet 1 along its length direction, and the storage cavities are used to accommodate the car-finding robots 2. One side of the robot storage cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of inlets and outlets corresponding to the storage cavities one by one, and the inlets and outlets are communicated with the corresponding storage cavities for the car-finding robots 2 to enter and exit. The gate mechanism 4 is installed on the robot storage cabinet 1 and corresponds to the inlets and outlets one by one. The gate mechanism 4 is used to open or close the inlets and outlets according to the instructions issued by the computer module; the computer module and the display screen 5 are installed on the robot storage cabinet 1, and the display screen 5 and the car-finding robots 2 are respectively signal-connected to the computer module.

[0029] In this embodiment, all the parking spaces in the underground parking lot are numbered in sequence, and a number corresponding to the parking space is placed in each parking space. For example, an underground parking lot has 300 parking spaces, and these 300 parking spaces are numbered according to Arabic numerals 1-300. After parking the car, remember the number of the parked parking space, and then the driver can enter the office building to work or enter the shopping mall to go shopping. This robot storage cabinet 1 is placed in various positions in the underground parking lot. For example, it is placed at the elevator exit leading to the underground parking lot and in the walking passage of the underground parking lot.

[0030] When the driver enters the underground parking lot to pick up the car, he only needs to find the nearest robot storage cabinet 1, and then input the number corresponding to the parking space where the vehicle is parked into the computer module through the display screen 5. The computer module uploads the position information corresponding to the robot storage cabinet 1 and the number information corresponding to the parking space to the cloud server. The cloud server calculates the navigation route from the robot storage cabinet 1 to the corresponding parking space, and sends the obtained navigation route to the computer module. The computer module transmits the obtained navigation route to the navigation system in the car-finding robot 2 through wireless transmission technology. At the same time, the computer module controls the corresponding gate mechanism 4 to open. The car-finding robot 2 with the obtained navigation route comes out of the robot storage cabinet 1 and advances along the navigation route to the corresponding parking space. In this way, the driver can find the vehicle by following the car-finding robot 2. After that, the driver inputs the end task on the input interface of the car-finding robot 2, and the car-finding robot 2 automatically returns to the storage cavity of the original robot storage cabinet 1. Finally, the computer module controls the corresponding gate mechanism 4 to close.

[0031] This can help vehicle owners quickly find their vehicles, without the need for vehicle owners to spend a lot of time searching, saving time and effort, improving the intelligence level of the intelligent parking lot, and enhancing the comfort experience of vehicle owners.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a column 101 is installed on the robot storage cabinet 1, and a fixed panel is fixedly installed at the top of the column 101. The computer module includes a computer mainframe, which is installed on the fixed panel. The display screen 5 and the button 6 are both installed on the fixed panel. The display screen 5 is electrically connected to the computer mainframe, and the button 6 is connected to the display screen 5 through an HDMI interface or a Type-C interface.

[0033] Furthermore, a satellite signal locator 7 is installed on each robot storage cabinet 1. The satellite signal locator 7 constitutes the above-mentioned satellite signal positioning module. Preferably, a Beidou signal locator is used. The Beidou system adopts differential positioning technology and real-time kinematic (RTK) technology. Through the differential processing method of signals, the positioning accuracy is improved, reaching the top level of centimeter level. The satellite signal locator 7 is signal-connected to the computer module, and its function is to send the position information corresponding to the robot storage cabinet 1 to the computer module, and then the computer module uploads the position information to the cloud server.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be noted that since each parking space is fixed, its corresponding location information is also fixed, and the precise location information corresponding to each parking space is pre-entered into the server. Alternatively, a BeiDou signal locator is installed in each parking space, which transmits the specific location information of the parking space to the cloud server, which then obtains the location information corresponding to all parking spaces.

[0035] Furthermore, since the location information of each parking space is fixed, after all parking spaces are numbered, the cloud server can obtain the location information of the parking space corresponding to that number based on the obtained number. Thus, the cloud server can obtain the corresponding navigation route based on the location information corresponding to the robot storage cabinet 1 and the location information of the parking space corresponding to the input number. In fact, the navigation route from each robot storage cabinet 1 to all parking spaces is fixed, and the cloud server only needs to store the corresponding route data in the computer module.

[0036] It should be noted that the vehicle-seeking robot 2 is equipped with an obstacle avoidance sensor to avoid collision with obstacles.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the robot storage cabinet 1 is elongated and has an interior cavity. Multiple partitions are evenly spaced along the length of the cabinet, dividing the cavity into multiple storage chambers. The elongated cabinet 1 is placed on the ground, making it easy for the vehicle-finding robot 2 to enter and exit the cabinet.

[0038] Furthermore, a plurality of entrances and exits corresponding to the storage chambers are evenly arranged on the front of the robot storage cabinet 1 , and a gate mechanism 4 is installed at each entrance and exit.

[0039] Preferably, the gate mechanism 4 is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes a gate 3, a screw 401, a motor 402, a fixing plate 404 and a limit rod 403. Two fixing seats are fixed on the left and right sides of the inlet and outlet of each robot storage cabinet 1. The screw 401 is rotatably installed on one fixing seat, and the limit rod 403 is fixed on the other fixing seat. A fixed block is fixed on the left and right sides of the gate 3, respectively, wherein the two fixed blocks located on the left side of the gate 3 are screwed to the screw 401, and the two fixed blocks located on the right side of the gate 3 are slidingly connected to the limit rod 403. The fixing plate 404 is fixedly installed on the top of the robot storage cabinet 1, and the motor 402 is installed on the top of the fixing plate 404. The output end of the motor 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 401, and the motor 402 is connected to the computer module signal.

[0040] In this way, the motor 402 drives the screw 401 to rotate according to the instructions of the computer module. The screw 401 rotates to make the shutter 3 rise or fall along the screw 401, so as to close or open the inlet and outlet of the robot storage cabinet 1.

[0041] Preferably, as Figure 1 shown, a power supply box 8 is further provided at the top of the robot storage cabinet 1. A power supply socket for powering the car-finding robot 2 is installed in each storage cavity. The power supply box 8 is electrically connected to the power supply socket. In this way, the staff can manually insert the power connection head on the car-finding robot 2 into the power supply socket in the storage cavity to charge the car-finding robot 2. Further, the computer mainframe, the display screen 5, and the satellite signal locator 7 are all electrically connected to the power supply box 8, and the power supply box 8 supplies power to the computer mainframe, the display screen 5, and the satellite signal locator 7.

[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the car-finding robot 2 includes a mobile trolley and a robot mechanism provided on the mobile trolley. The mobile trolley includes a chassis 201 and rollers 202 installed on the chassis 201. The robot mechanism includes a chest, a head, and arms. An illumination lamp 203 for illumination is installed on the arm of the robot mechanism to provide illumination in a dim underground parking lot. The obstacle avoidance sensor is installed at the eye position of the robot head. A navigation system is provided inside the head of the car-finding robot 2. It should be noted that the automatic navigation robot is a mature existing robot, which integrates technologies such as lidar technology, multi-sensor fusion technology, and path planning algorithms for navigation. Among them, lidar (LiDAR) is an active sensor that determines the position and heading of the robot by emitting laser beams and receiving the reflected laser beams. The multi-sensor fusion technology combines data from multiple sensors such as lidar, GPS, and inertial navigation to provide more accurate positioning and navigation information. Path planning is divided into global planning and local planning. Global planning is based on the environmental map, the current pose of the robot, and the position of the target point to find the optimal path to the target point. Local planning is to fine-tune the path when the environment changes or the upper-level planned path is not conducive to the actual movement of the robot. It can be seen that the automatic navigation robot is a navigation robot that relies on the high-precision positioning and navigation information provided by lidar technology and multi-sensor fusion technology and path planning algorithms.

[0043] Further, a display panel is provided on the car-finding robot 2. The display panel is used to display task information. When the navigation service is completed this time, the user clicks to end the task on the display panel, and the car-finding robot 2 returns to the original robot storage cabinet 1 along the navigation route.

[0044] Preferably, an infrared sensor is provided in the storage cavity of each robot storage cabinet 1. The infrared sensor is signal-connected to the computer module, and is used to detect whether there is a car-finding robot 2 in the storage cavity, so that the computer module can allocate tasks. The computer module allocates tasks according to a set logical algorithm to ensure the reasonable operation of the car-finding robot 2.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the connection inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
