Description

  The present invention relates to an operation panel of a mechanical multi-story parking apparatus that three-dimensionally stores a vehicle.

  Mechanical multilevel parking devices are widely used in densely populated houses as parking facilities that can efficiently park a large number of vehicles on land with little space, and have various structures that take into account the size and economics of the land used. Things are offered. Among them, multi-stage parking devices having a relatively small and simple structure are widely used in apartment houses and detached houses such as apartments.

  A multi-stage parking device is a structure in which a plurality of parking spaces are provided at the top and bottom, a plurality of pallets on which vehicles are mounted are arranged, and the pallets are moved up and down or traversed to store vehicles. There are many structures in which a mechanical device without an outer wall or the like is installed outdoors, rather than a structure in which a mechanical device is installed inside a building or the like like an elevator type or a vertical circulation type parking device.

  When such a multistage parking device is installed on the premises of an apartment or the like and is used for residents, a dedicated administrator does not operate the device but the residents themselves use the device to operate the device. It is almost always done, and safety considerations are necessary for both the device structure and user behavior. In consideration of this, many multistage parking apparatuses operate only while the operation button is pressed in order to prevent the user from leaving the operation panel and neglecting monitoring while the apparatus is operating. Thus, the apparatus is configured to stop when the operator feels danger by releasing his / her hand from the operation button.

  However, some users find it troublesome to keep pressing the operation button from the start to the end of the operation, and there are also users who fix the operation button in a pressed state with a device using a magnet or the like. It was. If the user leaves the operation panel in such a state, the apparatus continues to operate without being unattended, and the apparatus cannot be stopped in an emergency, which is not preferable for safety.

  In the technology that has been proposed in order to prevent such a situation, an optical receiver is connected to the operation panel, and the parking device is operated remotely by operating the optical transmitter carried by the user. When the signal is interrupted, the operation of the parking device is stopped (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In another technique, a reader that reads information on an ID tag carried by the user within a predetermined detection range is connected to the operation panel, thereby operating the apparatus when the user is within the predetermined range. When the user leaves the predetermined range, the operation of the apparatus is stopped (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Further, in another technique, a human body detection sensor is provided on the operation panel, and the operation of the pallet is stopped when the user leaves from around the operation panel (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

It is configured as follows. The parking unit 11 includes an upper pallet 14, an intermediate pallet 15, and a lower pallet 16 that are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and pallet support frames 17 that extend in the vertical direction on both sides of each pallet 14, 15, 16. The pallet support frame 17 supports the pallets 14, 15, 16 and is integrally formed. A pit 18 is excavated and formed below the ground of the mechanical multi-story parking apparatus 10, and the parking units 11, 12, and 13 are moved up and down in the pit 18 by known means such as a hydraulic cylinder and a chain. An operation panel 19 is provided on the front side of the mechanical multi-story parking apparatus 10, and a user operates this to operate the mechanical multi-story parking apparatus 10 when entering and leaving.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the operation panel 19. On the front surface of the operation panel 19, as shown in the figure, an operation lamp 20, a middle stage raising switch 21, a lower stage raising switch 22, a lowering switch 23, a parking unit selection switch 24, and a power switch 25 are arranged in order from the top. The foot switch 26 is provided at the bottom. First, the power switch 25 is a key switch, and is switched on and off by inserting a key and turning it. The parking unit selection switch 24 selects the parking unit 11, 12, 13 to be moved up and down, and the user selects one of the parking units 11, 12, 13 in which his / her vehicle is stored at the time of entering / exiting. And switch.

  The middle rise switch 21, the lower rise switch 22, and the lower switch 23 are all push button type operation switches that are turned on when pressed, and turned off when they are released. The middle lift switch 21 is for raising any of the selected parking units 11, 12, and 13, and when pushed, the middle pallet 15 is raised to a position that is substantially the same as the ground height. Similarly, when the lower stage lift switch 22 is pressed, any of the parking units 11, 12, 13 selected is moved up, and the lower pallet 16 is moved to a position substantially equal to the ground height. The lowering switch 23 is a switch for lowering the parking units 11, 12, and 13, and is selected by pushing the lowering switch 23 after storing or leaving the vehicle to the parking units 11, 12, and 13. The parking units 11, 12, and 13 are lowered to a position where the upper pallet 14 is substantially the same as the ground height. When the parking units 11, 12, and 13 are in operation, the driving lamp 20 is turned on or blinking so that the user can recognize that the parking unit is operating. In addition, the middle stage up switch 21, the lower stage up switch 22, and the down switch 23 are not limited to the push button type, and may be any type as long as they are operation switches that automatically return to OFF.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the foot switch 26. The foot switch 26 is an upper and lower three-stage type foot switch 26 whose contact is switched in three stages when operated with a foot. First, when the pedal 27 is not depressed, the pedal 27 is in the upper position A and the contact is OFF. Next, when the pedal 27 is depressed to the middle position B, the contact is turned ON. When the pedal 27 is further depressed to reach the lower position C, the contact is turned off again. When the foot is removed from this state, the pedal 27 returns to the upper position A. The force to depress the pedal 27 is set to a light operating force of about 20 N from the upper position A to the middle position B, and is set to a heavy operating force of about 170 N from the middle position B to the lower position C. . The parking units 11, 12, and 13 can operate only when the contact of the foot switch 26 is ON.

  With the above configuration, the user operates the operation panel 19 to operate the mechanical multi-story parking apparatus 10 as follows when the vehicle enters and leaves. In the mechanical multilevel parking device 10 before operation, the parking units 11, 12, and 13 are lowered into the pit 18, and the upper pallet 14 is substantially flush with the ground surface. Therefore, the user who parks the vehicle on the upper pallet 14 does not need to operate the operation panel 19. A user who parks the vehicle on the middle pallet 15 and the lower pallet 16 operates the operation panel 19 as follows.

  First, the user inserts a key into the power switch 25 and turns it to turn on the power. Next, the parking unit selection switch 24 is switched to select the parking unit 11, 12, or 13 for storing or leaving the vehicle. Subsequently, the foot switch 26 is stepped on to turn it on, and the middle stage elevation switch 21 or the lower stage elevation switch 22 corresponding to the corresponding stage is pressed. Thereby, the selected parking unit 11, 12, or 13 rises, and when the selected middle pallet 15 or lower pallet 16 reaches the position on the ground surface, the parking unit 11, 12, or 13 automatically stops.

  In the above operation, the parking unit 11, 12, or 13 does not operate unless both the middle lift switch 21 or the lower lift switch 22 and the foot switch 26 are in the ON state. That is, the parking unit 11, 12, or 13 stops its operation even when the hand is lifted from the middle lift switch 21 or the lower lift switch 22 or the foot switch 26 is released. In this way, the user can be prevented from leaving the operation panel 19 during operation. In addition, when the user senses a danger during the operation of the parking unit 11, 12, or 13, the user releases his / her hand from the middle lift switch 21 or the lower lift switch 22 or releases his foot from the foot switch 26. The parking unit 11, 12, or 13 immediately stops, and further, it stops when the foot switch 26 is depressed, so that the operation of the parking unit 11, 12, or 13 can be stopped quickly in the event of an abnormality.
