  • Patent number: 11492055
    Abstract: A parking robot for a transportation vehicle having a holding device for firmly holding a wheel of the transportation vehicle and housing at least one drive installation on two opposite sides. The drive installation has a height-adjustable running gear having at least one parking robot wheel and adjusts the holding device relative to the at least one parking robot wheel between a lowered and a raised position. The parking robot autonomously moves to a receiving position on the wheel of the transportation vehicle, in which receiving position the holding device firmly holds the wheel, and by adjusting the holding device to the raised position by the running gear, raises the firmly held wheel of the transportation vehicle relative to the respective parking robot wheels.

  • Publication number: 20200180695
    Abstract: A parking robot for a transportation vehicle and a method for operating a parking robot. The parking robot has a pair of wheel bearing arms which use a crank element to indirectly mount rotatably about a respective rotation axis. The parking robot autonomously moves from the outside to a receiving position beside a wheel of a wheel axle of the transportation vehicle in which the respective wheel bearing arms are parallel with the wheel axle and one of the wheel bearing arms in a vehicle longitudinal direction is positioned in front of the wheel and the other wheel bearing arm in the vehicle longitudinal direction is positioned behind the wheel. The parking robot raises the wheel of the transportation vehicle by rotating the respective wheel bearing arm about the respective rotation axis in a predefined rotation direction, wherein the respective rotation directions of the respective wheel bearing arms are mutually opposed.
