Is calculated, and a control signal is sent to each of the power units 21 to 24 through the automatic operation unit 42 as an operation pattern of the calculation result, and automatic operation for entering and leaving is performed.

  Therefore, in this elevator type parking apparatus, the total operation time during which these four power units 21 to 24 are operated from the current state to the next entry or exit is the entry waiting time or the exit waiting time.

  Therefore, in the waiting time display device 50 of this mechanical parking device, a waiting time calculation unit 60 is provided in the control unit 40 or independently, and includes an operation time storage unit 61 and a waiting time integration unit 62, and the operation unit 30. A waiting time display unit 63 is provided adjacent to the user operation buttons 31 and the like.

  The operation time storage unit 61 of the waiting time calculation unit 60 stores the power devices 21 to 24 according to the driving patterns of the power devices 21 to 24, and also for the on-board (full load) state and the empty (non-load) state. The driving time is stored. Each of such operation times may be measured and stored during actual operation of each of the power units 21 to 24, or an operation time obtained from a rotation speed of a motor or the like may be used.

The driving pattern for returning to the next vehicle is calculated.

First, the time to store the incoming vehicle is obtained.
That is, the turning time when the pallet in the vehicle is turned by the power device 22 that is the turning device 9 is TRa (on-board), and the ascending positioning from the loading / unloading port to the fifth stage by the power device 23 that is the lifting drive device 2. Time: Low-speed ascending stopper release: TL1a (present), 1st to 5th high-speed rising: TL2a (present), deceleration stop stopper activation: TL3a (present), low-speed descending positioning: TL4a (present) The time until the vehicle is stored is obtained by integrating the time of delivery from the cage to the vehicle storage shelf by the power device 24 which is the vehicle) and the traversing device 10: TSa (in-vehicle).

Next, it rises from the 5th stage to the 6th stage and obtains the time to receive the empty pallet.
That is, the time of ascending positioning from the fifth stage to the sixth stage by the power unit 23 which is the lifting drive unit 2: low speed raising stopper release: TL1b (empty car), high speed raising from the fifth stage to the sixth stage: TL2b (empty car) ), Deceleration stop stopper activation: TL3b (empty car), low-speed descent positioning: TL4b (empty car), and the time required to receive the empty pallet from the vehicle storage shelf to the cage by the power unit 24 which is the traversing device 10: TSb (empty car) As a result, the time from the fifth stage to the sixth stage is obtained until the empty pallet is received.

  Further, the time until the empty pallet is lowered to the entrance / exit and the door is opened is obtained.

  Lowering time from the 6th stage to the 1st stage by the power unit 23 which is the lifting drive unit 2: Low speed raising stopper release: TL1b (empty car), High speed descent from the 6th stage to the first stage: TL2b (empty car) , Deceleration stop stopper activation: TL3b (empty car), low speed descent positioning: TL4b (empty car), turning time for turning the empty pallet with the power unit 22 which is the turning device 9: TRb (empty car), door opening / closing drive device 12 Opening and closing time for opening and closing the door by a certain power unit 21: The time until the empty pallet is lowered to the loading / unloading port and the door is opened is obtained by integration of TD.

  By accumulating all these times, the waiting time until the next warehousing can be accurately obtained.

  Similarly, the waiting time at the time of leaving can also be accurately obtained by reading the operating time of each of the power units 21 to 24 from the operating time storage unit 61 and integrating them.

  In this way, by using the driving pattern calculated by the control unit 40 of the elevator parking device, the driving time of each power unit 21 to 24 is distinguished from the on-board state and the empty vehicle state, and each time is obtained. Therefore, the accurate waiting time corresponding to the actual driving can be accumulated and obtained and displayed accurately.

  Further, in the waiting time display device 50 of this mechanical parking device, for example, the actual driving time is measured and stored as the operation time stored in the operation time storage unit 61 of the waiting time calculation unit 60. Since a slight change may occur in the operation speed due to a change with time of the power units 21 to 24, when these effects are accumulated, an error in the waiting time itself may increase.

  Therefore, a measuring device for measuring the operation time and control time may be attached to each power unit 21 to 24, the control unit 40, etc., and the measurement result may be input to the operation time storage unit 61 to replace it. When obtaining the time, by using the newly stored operation time, an error between the actual operation and the waiting time can always be eliminated, and the waiting time can be displayed more accurately.

  According to the waiting time display device 50 of such a mechanical parking device, it is possible to indicate to the user the time (waiting time) until the loading and unloading, which is a drawback of the mechanical parking device, and the convenience of the parking device. Can be increased.

  Moreover, when calculating | requiring waiting time, it decomposes | disassembles according to the driving pattern of each power unit 21-24 which comprises a mechanical parking apparatus, and also decomposes | disassembles into an on-vehicle state and an empty vehicle state, calculates | requires and accumulates each driving time. Therefore, the waiting time based on the driving pattern can be accurately obtained and displayed.

  Furthermore, since the driving time of each power unit 21 to 24 according to the disassembled pattern is measured at the time of driving the parking device and stored, the accurate waiting time can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the operation time of each power unit 21-24 in the driving pattern is obtained using the calculation result of the driving pattern for performing automatic driving, the waiting time is integrated, so that it corresponds to the actual driving. Accurate waiting time can be displayed.

  Furthermore, since the display of the waiting time is displayed while being subtracted during operation of the parking device, the current waiting time can always be displayed.

  Note that the waiting time may be displayed as a lamp or a bar graph by dividing the time itself or the time.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although demonstrated by the case where it applied to an elevator type parking apparatus, while not only this but being able to apply to other types of parking apparatuses, it is applied to various machine apparatuses, such as a passenger elevator and an automatic warehouse. It is also possible to display the waiting time by applying.
