1. Ensure safety
Immediately activate the emergency braking device that comes with the equipment to prevent accidents such as sliding and collisions caused by the vehicle losing control due to power outages. Most smart parking devices are equipped with mechanical or electronic braking systems that automatically trigger in the event of a power outage to ensure vehicle and personnel safety.
If someone is trapped inside a parking device, contact the outside world through emergency call buttons, walkie talkies, and other devices to calm the trapped person’s emotions, inform them to remain calm, wait for rescue, and avoid them walking around or attempting to escape on their own inside the device to avoid danger.
2. Notify relevant personnel
Quickly notify the parking lot management department and equipment maintenance personnel of the specific situation of equipment power outage, including the time, location, equipment model, and other detailed information of the power outage, so that maintenance personnel can arrive at the scene in a timely manner and prepare corresponding maintenance tools and accessories.
3. Conduct emergency response
If the parking equipment is equipped with a backup power system, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or diesel generator, the system will automatically switch to the backup power supply to maintain the basic operational functions of the equipment, such as lighting, control systems, etc., for subsequent operations and processing. At this point, close attention should be paid to the working status and remaining power of the backup power supply to ensure that it can meet the basic operational needs of the equipment before maintenance.
If there is no backup power supply, for some simple intelligent parking devices, such as lift and horizontal parking devices, manual operation devices can be used to lower the vehicle to the ground for free riders to pick it up. However, during manual operation, it is necessary to strictly follow the equipment’s operating manual to ensure safe operation. For complex intelligent parking devices, such as tower shaped parking garages, it is not recommended for non professionals to manually operate them to avoid causing more serious malfunctions.
4. Troubleshooting and Repair
After the maintenance personnel arrive at the site, they first conduct a comprehensive inspection of the power supply system, including power switches, fuses, cable lines, etc., to determine the specific cause of the power outage. If the power switch trips or the fuse is blown, check for short circuits, overloads, and other issues. After troubleshooting, restore power supply.
If the power outage is caused by an external power grid fault, it is necessary to contact the power supply department in a timely manner to understand the repair time of the power grid fault, and inform the parking lot management department to take corresponding measures, such as guiding vehicles to park in other parking lots, or setting up obvious signs at the entrance of the parking lot to inform the car owner that the parking lot is temporarily unavailable.
If the power outage is caused by an internal electrical failure of the equipment, maintenance personnel need to conduct a detailed inspection of key components such as the control system, motor, and driver of the equipment, and use professional testing tools such as multimeters and oscilloscopes to locate the fault point. For damaged components, replace or repair them in a timely manner to ensure that the equipment can resume normal operation.
5. Resume operation and testing
After troubleshooting and repairing, conduct a comprehensive test on the intelligent parking equipment, including whether the lifting, translation, rotation and other actions of the equipment are normal, whether the positioning and parking of the vehicle are accurate, and whether the safety protection devices are effective. After confirming that all functions of the device are normal, the normal operation of the device can be restored.
Record in detail the power outage event, including the time, cause, handling process, maintenance results, and other information of the power outage, for future reference and analysis. At the same time, regular inspections and maintenance of equipment should be carried out, and monitoring of the electrical system of the equipment should be strengthened to prevent similar faults from happening again.
