The operation panel 1 is used to call a pallet, open a gate,
A push button switch 13 for performing gate closing, safety confirmation, operation and display of failure, a key (not shown) for inputting a pallet number, etc.
A display unit 14 for displaying information such as a pallet number, an alarm unit 15 having an alarm lamp and an audio alarm, an emergency stop switch 16, and other devices necessary for operating the multi-story parking device 20 are provided. When the user operates the operation panel 1, operation information is sent to the control panel 2.

The operation panel 1 is provided with a data input section 12 which receives a pallet call reservation call transmitted from the telephone 3, generates pallet call reservation data and sends it to the control panel 2. The telephone 3 used for the reservation may be a telephone installed at home, but a mobile phone or a PHS is more convenient because a reservation call can be made from a destination or from within the vehicle 24.

Based on the position information input from the detector 6 and the operation information from the operation panel 1, the control panel 2 controls the traversing motor of the pallet 21, the motor for raising and lowering the pallets 22 and 23, and the gate 4. A control unit 17 for operating the drive unit 7 of the multi-story parking device 20 such as a motor for raising and lowering and a motor for a fall prevention device, and a command unit 18 for displaying and alarming on the display unit 14 and the alarm unit 15 of the operation panel 1 are provided. Have.

The control panel 2 includes a data input unit 12
An arithmetic unit 19 is provided for receiving the reservation data sent from the pallet and calling the reservation pallet at a predetermined time based on the reservation data. In order to reserve a pallet call, the user makes a pallet call reservation call to the data input unit 12 of the operation panel 1 from the telephone number 3 whose number has been registered in advance in a calling number notification state. At the time of making a reservation call for pallet call, the user speaks the call reservation time according to predetermined guidance.

By receiving the reservation call, the data input unit 12 displays, for example, [user telephone number: 090-X].
XXX-XXXX, reservation time: 14:05 on February 12
), And sends it to the calculation unit 19 of the control panel 2. The calculation unit 19 confirms the user from the user's telephone number, checks whether the pallet assigned to the user has already been reserved, and deletes the already-reserved one to update it if there is one. . (Note that the identification number of the user may be such that an ID number or a password is transmitted using a key of the telephone set 3 instead of using the telephone 3 call number notification function.) It is checked whether there is a reservation at the same time, and if there is no duplicate reservation, a pallet call at that time is reserved, for example, [Feb.
A reservation completion message such as "Pallet call was reserved at 4:05" is returned from the data input unit 12 to the user telephone number.

If a duplicate reservation is made, the nearest reservable time is searched for, and the user's telephone 3
For example, [At 14:05 on February 12, there is a reservation for another person, so you cannot make a reservation. Reservations are possible on February 12 at 14:00 or 14:10. Please call again for reservation. ], And a message indicating that the reservation is not possible and a message indicating that the reservation cannot be made.
Replies to the user telephone number. The user who has received the message indicating that the reservation cannot be made selects the next best reservation time and makes another reservation call for calling the pallet.

When the call reservation time approaches, the operation unit 19
Causes the data input unit 12 to send a message to the user telephone number in advance (for example, 5 minutes before the scheduled call time). Further, the time required for calling is obtained from the position information of the pallet to be called inputted from the detector 6, and the start time of the calling process is determined from the time required for calling and the reservation time for calling.
Call processing.

When the calling process is performed, a command signal is sent from the command unit 18 to the display unit 14 and the alarm unit 15, and the alarm unit 1
From 5, for example, [The device moves. Be careful of people nearby. ], A warning message such as voice is played, an alarm lamp is turned on, and the display unit 14 displays a pallet number. When calling up the lifting pallets 22 and 23, select [Calling operation. Please be careful. ], And a "calling" lamp is turned on to perform a calling operation.
If the pallet to be loaded and unloaded by the vehicle 24 is the traversing pallet 21, the calling operation is unnecessary.

At the reserved time, the pallet calling process has been completed, but the gate 4 is closed for safety.
After confirming the user on the operation panel 1, the push button switch 13
