Description

Technical Field

[0005]

[0001] This application relates to an operation panel storage box in a mechanical parking facility.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, mechanical parking facilities are installed in various locations. The specifications of mechanical parking facilities are determined according to individual installation locations, and the specifications of the entrance / exit operation panels also vary. For example, in the case of elevator-type parking facilities, the next entrance / exit is performed after one entrance / exit is completed. However, in the case of parking facilities installed in condominiums or the like, since multiple exits may overlap during the same time period, there may be an exit operation panel that allows reservation of exits. In recent years, there are cases where the exit operation panel is installed at a position away from the parking device so that exit reservation can be made. In addition, in a parking facility equipped with multiple parking devices, there is also a parking facility in which an entrance reservation operation is performed on an entrance operation panel installed at a position away from the parking device, and the vehicle is guided to the parking device for the entrance destination.

[0003] In such mechanical parking facilities, the position of the operation panel is determined according to the layout of the facilities and the like. The operation panel is provided at various positions, for example, outdoors in a position close to the mechanical parking facility and not affected by vehicle passage, or indoors such as the entrance of a condominium or the like close to the mechanical parking facility. Therefore, the operation panel is installed in a storage box to protect it from mischief by outsiders and wind and rain.

[0004] As a prior art document regarding the operation panel of a mechanical parking facility, for example, there is one in which the entrance / exit operation in a mechanical parking facility is performed using a portable authentication device (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This mechanical parking facility is provided with an operation panel having a door that opens on one side.

Patent Document 1

[0006] Incidentally, as mentioned above, the control panel, which is installed away from the mechanical parking system, is positioned with consideration for the building's design and user convenience. For this reason, the location of the control panel may not be decided until the latter half of the mechanical parking system's construction period. Furthermore, depending on the control panel's location, the decision on whether the front door of the storage box opens to the left or right may be delayed due to its relationship with surrounding structures.

[0007] However, since the storage boxes are manufactured after the direction of opening and closing of the front door is determined, if the installation location of the control panel is decided in the latter half of the construction period, the manufacturing of the storage boxes may be delayed, which could cause delays in the construction period of the mechanical parking system.

[0008] Furthermore, on-site adjustments to the installation location of the control panel may necessitate changes to the opening and closing direction of the front door of the storage box. In such cases, additional front doors with different opening and closing directions may be required, potentially leading to manufacturing losses and delays in the construction period of the mechanical parking system.

[0009] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a control panel housing for a mechanical parking system that allows the opening and closing direction of the front door to be easily set according to the installation position of the control panel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] An operating panel housing for a mechanical parking system according to one aspect of this application is an operating panel housing for a mechanical parking system having a housing with an open front for housing a control unit and a front door that closes the front of the housing, wherein the housing has a flange portion that protrudes forward from the front of the housing, a first hinge fitting mounting portion provided at symmetrical positions on the left and right of the flange portion, a first hinge fitting that is detachably attached to either of the left and right positions of the first hinge fitting mounting portion, a second hinge fitting mounting portion provided at symmetrical positions on the left and right of the front door corresponding to the first hinge fitting mounting portion, and the left and right positions The front door hinge comprises a second hinge fitting that is detachably attached to a second hinge fitting mounting portion at a position corresponding to the first hinge fitting, a lock mounting portion provided at a left-right symmetrical position on the front door, a lock unit attached to the lock mounting portion at a position opposite to where the first and second hinge fittings are attached, and a cover plate that closes the lock mounting portion to which the lock unit is not attached. The hinge of the front door is formed by pivotally supporting one of the first and second hinge fittings, which are attached to the left or right position on the front door, on the other.

[0011] With this configuration, the flange portion protruding forward from the front of the housing has first hinge mounting points at symmetrical positions on both sides, and the second hinge mounting point is provided at a symmetrical position corresponding to the first hinge mounting point on the front door. Therefore, the control panel housing can be configured to have a hinge that allows the front door to open to either the left or the right by attaching the first hinge to either the left or right first hinge mounting point and the second hinge to the corresponding second hinge mounting point, depending on the opening direction of the front door. The key unit can also be attached to either the left or right key mounting point depending on the opening and closing direction of the front door, and the other key mounting point can be blocked off with a cover plate. Thus, the front door of the control panel housing can be easily set to open to either the left or the right.

[0012] Furthermore, the front door has an inner surface mounting portion for attaching the lock unit, and the lock mounting portion that does not have the lock unit attached may be covered by attaching the cover plate to the inner surface of the front door.

[0013] With this configuration, the unused side of the symmetrically positioned lock mounting section can be covered with a cover plate attached to the inner surface of the front door. Therefore, only the outer shape of the lock mounting section is visible on the outer surface of the front door, thus maintaining aesthetic appeal.

[0014] Furthermore, the control unit is the control unit for either vehicle entry or exit, and further has an internal door inside the front door, the internal door has an information display unit that displays information related to the vehicle's entry and exit, and the front door may have at least an information display confirmation window for checking the information on the information display unit and an authentication unit operation window for user authentication.

[0015] With this configuration, the control panel housing can have a double-layered structure with a front door and an inner door, and by placing the information display unit on the inner door, waterproofing can be improved when the front door is open. Users can authenticate through the authentication unit's operation window and check the information displayed on the information display unit through the information confirmation window.

[0016] Furthermore, the interior door may be supported by a pivot shaft having an axis extending in the vertical direction, the pivot shaft being provided at a predetermined distance from the left and right ends of the housing toward the center, and the interior door may be able to open and close in the front-rear direction on the side opposite to the direction in which the pivot shaft is provided, with respect to the pivot shaft.

[0017] With this configuration, the internal door rotates around a pivot axis that is located away from the left and right ends of the enclosure toward the center. This allows for easy installation and removal of equipment attached to the internal door by opening and closing the internal door forward or backward.

[0018] Furthermore, the flange portion may have a contact surface at its front end, and the front door may have a sealing material on its inner surface facing the contact surface.

[0019] With such a configuration, by closing the front door, the sealing material abuts against the contact surface of the flange portion, so that the waterproof property inside the operation panel storage box can be enhanced.

Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present application, it becomes possible to easily set the opening and closing direction of the front door of the operation panel storage box according to the installation position of the operation panel.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the operation panel storage box 1 according to the present application will be described based on the drawings. The following embodiment will be described by taking the operation panel storage box 1 having the inner door 50 as an example. In addition, the concepts of the front-rear, left-right directions in this specification and the patent claim documents shall be consistent with the concepts of the front-rear, left-right directions in the state where the operation panel storage box 1 is viewed in plan as shown in FIG. 4.

[0023] <Configuration of the control panel housing> Figure 1 is a front view showing an operation panel housing box 1 as an entry operation panel according to one embodiment. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II shown in Figure 1. The operation panel housing box 1 in this embodiment has a housing 10 with an open front and a front door 20 that closes the front of the housing 10. The operation panel includes various operation panels and control panels in mechanical parking equipment, such as entry operation panels, exit operation panels, and control panels for parking systems. This embodiment will mainly describe an example in which the operation panel housing box 1 is used as an entry operation panel.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the control panel housing box 1 in this embodiment is equipped with an information display confirmation window 21, a remote control receiving window 22, a tricolor light confirmation window 23, an authentication unit operation window 24, and a control panel confirmation window 26 at predetermined positions on the front door 20. Each window is provided with a waterproof transparent member, allowing the internal equipment to be viewed. The information display confirmation window 21 is a window for confirming the display content of the information display unit 52, which displays information for the user. The remote control receiving window 22 is a window for the remote control receiving unit 53 (Figure 3) to receive signals from a wireless remote control transmitter. The tricolor light confirmation window 23 is a window for confirming the tricolor light 54 (Figure 3) that indicates the reception status of the remote control receiving unit 53. The authentication unit operation window 24 is a window for holding an authentication card over the authentication unit 25 (Figure 3). The control panel confirmation window 26 is a window for confirming the display of the equipment operation display / maintenance operation panel 55 (Figure 3). In this embodiment, a control unit 60 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10 of the control panel housing box 1. Each device is explained in Figure 3.

[0025] The front door 20 has key mounting sections 27 at symmetrical positions on the left and right. A key unit 28 is attached to the key mounting section 27 on the left, and the key mounting section 27 on the right is blocked by a cover plate 31 (Figure 3). When the front door 20 is closed and the key unit 28 is rotated, the locking mechanism 29 (Figure 3) engages with the housing 10, preventing the front door 20 from being opened. When the key unit 28 is rotated in the opposite direction, the locking mechanism 29 separates from the housing 10, allowing the front door 20 to be opened. The front door 20 is closed when the operation screen of the equipment operation display / maintenance operation panel 55 is not being operated, covering the operation screen from the outside and protecting it from vandalism, wind and rain, etc.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the control panel housing 1 in this embodiment further has an internal door 50 on the front of the housing 10. The internal door 50 is supported by the housing 10 by a pivot shaft 51 having an axis extending in the vertical direction, and is located on the front of the housing 10 when the front door 20 is opened. The internal door 50 is not limited to the opening and closing direction of this embodiment. In this embodiment, each piece of equipment is provided at a predetermined position on the internal door 50. Each piece of equipment will be described in Figure 3. The housing 10 also has a flange portion 11 that protrudes forward from the front. The flange portion 11 is slightly smaller than the outer shape of the housing 10. The control unit 60 is closed off at the front by a plate 16 fixed to the housing 10.

[0027] <Internal structure of the control panel housing> Figure 3 is a front view showing the control panel housing box 1 shown in Figure 1 with the front door 20 set to open to the right and the front door 20 removed. In this embodiment, the control panel housing box 1 is an example where the front door 20 is set to open to the right. The flange portion 11 that protrudes forward from the housing 10 is provided around the entire circumference of the front of the housing 10 and has a contact surface 12 at its front end. The flange portion 11 has first hinge fitting mounting portions 13 at symmetrical positions on the left and right of the protruding portion. In this example, there are three first hinge fitting mounting portions 13 in the vertical direction. The first hinge fitting mounting portions 13 are mounting holes for bolts and nuts 14. In this embodiment, the first hinge fitting 15 is detachably attached to the first hinge fitting mounting portion 13 at the right position. A bolt and nut 14 is attached to the mounting hole of the first hinge fitting mounting portion 13 at the left position. The first hinge fitting mounting section 13 on the unused side has its mounting hole sealed with a bolt and nut 14 to prevent rainwater and other liquids from entering the inside of the housing 10.

[0028] Furthermore, the front door 20 is provided with a second hinge mounting portion 33 at a symmetrical position corresponding to the first hinge mounting portion 13 of the housing 10. In this embodiment, since the front door 20 opens to the right, the second hinge fitting 35 is detachably attached to the second hinge mounting portion 33, which is in the left position when the door is open. The second hinge fitting 35 is a pin-shaped fitting attached to the second hinge mounting portion 33. Since both the second hinge fitting 35 and the first hinge fitting 15 are detachably attached, the mounting side can be changed according to the opening and closing direction of the front door 20.

[0029] Furthermore, of the key mounting sections 27 provided symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front door 20, a key unit 28 is attached to the key mounting section 27 opposite to the position where the second hinge fitting 35 is attached. The front door 20 has a bolt section 30 on its inner surface, which is a mounting section for attaching the key unit 28, and the key unit 28 is attached to the inner surface of the front door 20. Of the key mounting sections 27 provided symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front door 20, the key mounting section 27 to which the key unit 28 is not attached is blocked off with a cover plate 31. The cover plate 31 is attached to the bolt section 30 provided on the inner surface of the front door 20. In this way, a key unit 28 is attached to one of the left and right key mounting sections 27, and the other is blocked off with a cover plate 31.

[0030] Furthermore, a first stopper mounting portion 41 and a second stopper mounting portion 42 are provided symmetrically on the lower part of the housing 10 and the lower part of the front door 20, respectively, for attaching an arm stopper 40 that holds the front door 20 at a predetermined open angle. The first stopper mounting portion 41 of the housing 10 is a hole provided in the flange portion 11. In the figure, a first mounting bracket 43 is attached to the right-side first stopper mounting portion 41. The left-side first stopper mounting portion 41 consists only of a bolt hole. The second stopper mounting portion 42 of the front door 20 is provided on a bracket 44 located in the central part of the inner surface. The bracket 44 protrudes from the front door 20 toward the housing 10, and bolt holes 45 are provided symmetrically on the left and right. In the figure, a second mounting bracket 46 is attached to the bolt hole 45 that is in the right position when the door is closed. The arm stopper 40 is provided between the first mounting bracket 43 and the second mounting bracket 46. The arm stopper 40 can be any type that can hold the front door 20 in the open position, and any known type can be used.

[0031] In this embodiment, the control panel housing box 1 is equipped with an information display unit 52, a remote control receiver 53, a three-color light 54, and a panel 55 for equipment operation display and maintenance operation on the inner door 50. The authentication unit 25 is located on the inner surface of the front door 20, and the inner door 50 is provided with a recess 56 to prevent interference with the authentication unit 25. The information display unit 52 displays information related to the entry and exit of vehicles, such as the number of vehicles waiting to enter or exit and the approximate time required for entry or exit. The information display confirmation window 21 of the front door 20 is located in front of this information display unit 52.

[0032] Furthermore, users of properties equipped with remote control specifications are provided with or lent a remote control transmitter that stores user-specific authentication information. When a user uses the mechanical parking system, they can operate the system by specifying the operation using the remote control transmitter. The remote control receiver 53 receives various signals transmitted from the remote control transmitter provided to the user. The remote control receiver 53 can use any known device. The three-color light 54 informs the user of the reception status of the remote control operation signal received by the remote control receiver 53 by lighting up one of three colors: green, yellow, or red. The user can determine the reception status by the color that lights up. The three-color light 54 can also use any known device. The three-color light confirmation window 23 of the front door 20 is located in front of the three-color light 54.

[0033] Furthermore, users of the mechanical parking system are provided with or lent an authentication card containing their unique authentication information, and an authentication unit 25 (card reader unit) for reading the information on the authentication card is provided on the inner surface of the front door 20. The inner door 50 is provided with a recess 56 to avoid interference with the authentication unit 25. The authentication unit operation window 24 provided on the front door 20 is the part where authentication is performed using the authentication card carried by the user, and in this embodiment, it is a window provided on the front of the authentication unit 25 attached to the inner surface of the front door 20.

[0034] Furthermore, the equipment operation display / maintenance operation panel 55 is a panel used by maintenance managers to check the operating status, and displays the status of the control unit 60. The control panel viewing window 26 of the front door 20 is located in front of this equipment operation display / maintenance operation panel 55.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control panel housing 1 has many devices attached to the internal door 50, including an information display unit 52, a remote control receiver 53, a three-color light 54, and a device operation display / maintenance operation panel 55. Only the authentication unit 25 is attached to the front door 20. Therefore, the front door 20 can be made relatively light, and the opening direction of the front door 20 can be easily changed at the installation location. In addition, since many devices are attached to the internal door 50 located inside the housing 10 in this embodiment, it is possible to suppress electrical equipment failure due to moisture when opening the front door 20 for maintenance in rainy weather.

[0036] <Support for the interior door> Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the interior door 50 of this embodiment is supported by an upper mounting portion 10a and a lower mounting portion 10b with a pivot shaft 51 located at a predetermined distance from the right end of the housing 10 toward the center. The pivot shaft 51 has an axis extending in the vertical direction, and the interior door 50 can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction on the left side of the figure around the pivot shaft 51. The pivot shaft 51 only needs to be located at a predetermined distance from the left-right end of the housing 10 toward the center, depending on the opening direction of the interior door 50. That is, the pivot shaft 51 of the interior door 50 should be offset toward the center, rather than being at the left-right edge of the interior door 50. The predetermined distance is preferably about 2 to 3 times the thickness of the interior door 50. Furthermore, the interior door 50 in this embodiment is provided with a door locking part 58 at its left end, and this door locking part 58 positions and locks the interior door 50 to the upper mounting part 10a and the lower mounting part 10b in a position parallel to the back of the housing 10. The door locking part 58 can utilize a structure in which the screw part at its tip is screwed into the screw holes provided in the upper mounting part 10a and the lower mounting part 10b. When the lock of the door locking part 58 is released, the left side of the interior door 50 becomes swingable in the front-back direction. Thus, in this embodiment, the pivot axis 51 of the interior door 50 is located a predetermined distance from the right end, and the left side is positioned and locked by the door locking part 58, so when the lock of the door locking part 58 is released, the left side can also be pushed inward into the housing 10. As a result, the right side of the interior door 50 can be extended diagonally forward from the housing 10.

[0037] As shown in the figure, the flange portion 11 of the housing 10 protrudes forward from the front and has a contact surface 12 at its front end. The front door 20 is designed to cover the area around the flange portion 11 when closed. In other words, the front door 20 overlaps the flange portion 11 of the housing 10 when closed. Furthermore, since the front door 20 has a sealing material 36 on the part facing the contact surface 12 of the housing 10, it is possible to prevent water and other substances from entering the inside of the housing 10 when closed. Moreover, by having the flange portion 11 protrude forward, the housing 10 exposes a large portion of the first hinge fitting mounting portion 13, making it easy to install and reposition the first hinge fitting 15.

[0038] <Examples of hinge usage> Figures 5(A) to 5(C) are enlarged views showing the installation process on the user side of the hinge shown in Figure 3. These figures show the installation state of the hinge at the right position in a plan view. In this embodiment, the first hinge fitting 15 is a cylindrical fitting, and the second hinge fitting 35 is a pin-shaped fitting. As shown in Figure 5(A), the first hinge fitting mounting portion 13, which is provided at a symmetrical position on the left and right sides of the housing 10, is pre-equipped with a bolt and nut 14. As shown in Figure 5(B), the first hinge fitting 15 is installed by removing the pre-equipped bolt and nut 14 and using that bolt and nut 14.

[0039] On the other hand, a second hinge fitting mounting section 33 is provided at symmetrical positions on the left and right sides of the front door 20, and the second hinge fitting 35 is attached to the second hinge fitting mounting section 33 at the position corresponding to the position of the first hinge fitting 15. The first hinge fitting 15 and the second hinge fitting 35 are fixed with bolts and nuts 14, so they can be installed with general tools. Then, as shown in Figure 5(C), the front door 20 is attached by inserting the pin-shaped part of the second hinge fitting 35 into the cylindrical part of the first hinge fitting 15 from above. This completes the process of attaching the front door 20 to the housing 10. In this way, the hinge of the front door 20 is formed by pivotally supporting one of the first hinge fitting 15 and the second hinge fitting 35, which are attached to the left or right position of the front door 20, on the other. Therefore, the control panel housing box 1 can easily perform the operation of opening and closing the front door 20, which is equipped with the second hinge fitting 35, relative to the housing 10, which is equipped with the first hinge fitting 15.

[0040] <Closing the lock mounting section> Figures 6(A) to 6(C) are enlarged views showing the closing operation on the unused side (the side to which the key unit 28 is not attached) of the key mounting section 27 shown in Figure 3. Figure 6(A) is a view of the front door 20 from the outside, and Figures 6(B) and 6(C) are views of the front door 20 from the inside. As shown in Figure 6(A), of the key mounting sections 27 provided symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front door 20, the side to which the key unit 28 is not attached remains open. In this example, since the key unit 28 is attached to the left side of the front door 20, the right key mounting section 27 remains open. As shown in Figure 6(B), the key mounting section 27 has a bolt section 30, which is a mounting member, on its inner surface. As shown in Figure 6(C), the cover plate 31 is fixed to the inner surface of the front door 20 with the bolt section 30. This closes the open key mounting section 27 of the front door 20 with the cover plate 31. Since the lock mounting section 27, which is covered by the cover plate 31, is only visible in its outer shape, the aesthetic design of the front door 20 can be preserved.

[0041] <Operation of internal doors> Figure 7 is a perspective view partially showing the removal of equipment from the internal door 50 with the front door 20 in the open position. As described above, the internal door 50 has a pivot shaft 51 located at a predetermined distance from the right end of the housing 10 toward the center. This allows the internal door 50 to be pushed backward on the left side and pushed into the housing 10, thereby allowing the right side to be pushed out diagonally forward. In this embodiment, the control panel housing box 1 has mounting screws 57 for the information display unit 52 on the internal door 50 on the side, so the internal door 50 can be removed by pushing the right side of the internal door 50 diagonally forward. The mounting screws 57 on the left side of the information display unit 52 can be removed by opening the left side of the internal door 50 forward. Thus, in this embodiment, the control panel housing box 1 is designed to house the information display unit 52, which has dimensions close to the width of the control panel housing box 1, inside the control panel housing box 1, and the mounting of the information display unit 52 is devised accordingly.

[0042] <Condition of the control panel housing> Figure 8 is a perspective view showing an example of a control panel housing box 1 used as a parking exit control panel. This example is of a control panel housing box 1 for parking exit reservations installed in the entrance of an apartment building. The shape of the information display confirmation window 21 is different from that of the parking entry control panel in Figure 1. This control panel housing box 1 is embedded in a large decorative door D on the building side that extends from the floor 70 to the ceiling 71. The decorative door D has a pattern, and in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the direction in which the front door 20 of the internal control panel housing box 1 and the decorative door D open. In this way, in recent years, the integrated design and connection, including the pattern on the wall surface 72, have become important for control panel housing boxes 1. In the case of such a control panel housing box 1, the decision of whether to open to the left or to the right may be delayed due to various factors such as the relationship with the building and the space for users to pass through. However, the control panel housing box 1 of this application can accommodate both left-opening and right-opening, so it can be installed without affecting the construction period of the mechanical parking equipment. In the example shown in Figure 8, the control panel housing 1 is housed behind the decorative door D. Therefore, the decorative door D has notched windows at positions corresponding to the information display confirmation window 21 of the control panel housing 1 and at positions corresponding to the authentication unit operation window 24 of the control panel housing 1. This allows users to check the information displayed on the information display unit 52 and access the authentication unit 25 from outside the decorative door D.

[0043] <Other variations> Mechanical parking equipment is not particularly limited and may include various types of parking equipment, such as box-type circulating type, horizontal circulating type, plane reciprocating type, vertical and horizontal moving puzzle type, vertical circulating type, and multi-level type.

[0044] Furthermore, the above-described embodiment is merely an example, and this application can be implemented even without the internal door 50. This application is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various configurations may be modified without impairing the essence of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the internal door 50 was supported by an upper mounting portion 10a and a lower mounting portion 10b with a pivot shaft 51 located at a predetermined distance from the right end of the housing 10 toward the center. The pivot shaft 51 had an axis extending in the vertical direction. The internal door 50 was equipped with an information display unit 52. The present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the internal door 50 with a door structure, an internal panel with a screw-fastened structure may be used, and the information display unit may be attached to the internal panel.

[0045] <Summary> The control panel housing box 1 for the mechanical parking system described above has a first hinge fitting mounting section 13 located symmetrically on the left and right sides of the housing 10 and a second hinge fitting mounting section 33 located symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front door 20, allowing the front door 20 to be set to open to the right or to the left. Therefore, even if the opening direction of the front door 20 of the control panel housing box 1 needs to be changed on-site depending on the location where the control panel is installed, it can be easily changed without replacing any parts. As a result, the control panel housing box 1 can meet short delivery times while keeping inventory levels low. Furthermore, since there is a pair of first hinge fitting mounting sections 13 and second hinge fitting mounting sections 33, even if the front door 20 is equipped with a window such as an information display confirmation window 21, the setting can be easily changed between opening to the right and opening to the left without changing the position of the window relative to the housing 10.

[0046] Furthermore, by designing the control panel housing box 1 to have a common structure for both left-opening and right-opening front doors 20, productivity and manufacturing costs can be stabilized. Moreover, the control panel housing box 1 is less susceptible to the effects of the installation environment and can accommodate short delivery times. In addition, even if the front door 20 needs to be replaced on-site, the control panel housing box 1 does not require additional parts ordering or remanufacturing, thus preventing impact on the construction period of the mechanical parking system. Also, since workers can easily change between left-opening and right-opening on-site, it is possible to respond to requests or needs for changes in the opening direction even after delivery.

[0047] In other words, the control panel housing box 1 for mechanical parking systems is installed outside the mechanical parking system, and its manufacturing is often influenced by the building's design, as well as the precision of the finish on the front of the control panel, the flow of people, and changes in the specifications of surrounding doors. However, the above-mentioned control panel housing box 1 is expected to solve the above-mentioned problems specific to reservation control panels for mechanical parking systems, which are related to the installation environment, thus avoiding tight deadlines and ensuring the provision of stable quality to the end customer.
