Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a loading and unloading control method capable of smoothly dealing with even a situation in which a date specified reservation for specifying an unloading time and a calling registration by a direct operation on site are mixed.SOLUTION: When a parking facility is in an instruction waiting condition, the loading and unloading operation command is issued according to unloading vehicles on a date specified reservation and loading and unloading vehicles on a calling registration by repeating following steps: determining presence or absence of the date specified reservation data; comparing a reservation time B of the date specified reservation data with an expected time of arrival D, which is calculated based on a time required for pallet calling C of the first date specified reservation data and a current time A when one or more date specified reservation data exists; determining whether or not the pallet calling is required based on a calling registration data when the comparison result shows a certain threshold F or higher; and selecting a type of pallet calling operation based on the calling registration data when the pallet calling is required.

Description

  The present invention relates to a method for controlling entry / exit in a mechanical parking facility, an entry / exit control device, and a mechanical parking facility including the same.

  Conventionally, various mechanical parking facilities (elevator type, vertical circulation type, horizontal multi-layer type, box type circulation type, plane reciprocation type, etc. are collectively referred to as “mechanical parking equipment”) on the ground and underground. ing. In such a mechanical parking facility, a vehicle is carried in and out between a loading / unloading unit that loads and unloads from a loading / unloading port provided with a loading / unloading door. Moreover, one or two storage / exit sections are usually provided in the mechanical parking facility, and vehicles are stored / extracted at the storage / exit section.

  On the other hand, in recent years, for example, the number of elevator mechanical parking facilities that have been increased in height (for example, 60 m to more than 100 m) has increased, and in the case of horizontal multi-layer mechanical parking facilities, the number of accommodated vehicles has increased to a large scale. is increasing.

  However, when a vehicle stored at a position away from the loading / unloading unit is unloaded, even if a unloading operation is performed at the loading / unloading port, a long time is required until the vehicle reaches the loading / unloading unit. For example, in the case of an elevator-type parking facility with a height of about 100 m, it takes about 10 minutes to unload the vehicle stored at the top, but it takes about 30 minutes when loading and unloading overlap. There is also a problem that the waiting time of the user becomes very long. This is particularly a problem in winter in cold regions.

  Therefore, let's make it possible to reserve the vehicle exit time from a place where the user is away from the mechanical parking facility, and reduce the waiting time of the user by landing the exit vehicle at the entry / exit section at the exit reservation time. Has been proposed.

  For example, as a prior art of this kind, by pre-booking the entry / exit time of the car, calculate the entry / exit time required to move the pallet to be entered / exited to the entry / exit section, and enter / exit from the entry / exit reservation time There is a remote control device for a mechanical parking facility that outputs a loading / unloading instruction if the time after deducting the time is the same as or later than the current time, and prevents the driver from waiting at the time of loading / unloading (for example, patents) Reference 1).

  Further, as another prior art, when a command is output so that a desired pallet is caused to wait in the vehicle loading / unloading unit at a desired loading / unloading time by a communication means from a place away from the mechanical parking facility, the scheduled loading / unloading time When the pallet arrives at the reserved time by subtracting the loading / unloading time from the pallet, and the pallet reaches the loading / unloading section, the user who is away from the mechanical parking facility is informed that the pallet is waiting at the loading / unloading section. There is one in which the waiting time of the user can be shortened by notifying (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In this prior art, it is also possible to make a reservation using a local area network. When the call operation by reservation and the direct operation from the driving operation panel overlap, the direct operation from the driving operation panel is prioritized and the entry / exit ends. After that, the call operation by reservation is started again.

  In addition, as another prior art, for a specific user who issues a monthly contracted vehicle at a fixed time every day, the shipping operation is performed at a fixed time every day by registering the shipping time. In some cases, there is no need to perform a shipping operation and there is no waiting time (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  In addition, as another prior art, if the pallet of the delivered vehicle is a pallet that can mount a vehicle waiting for receipt, the empty pallet is returned to the entry vehicle prior to the next delivery operation. In some cases, the waiting time of a user waiting for entry / exit is shortened to efficiently enter and exit the store (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-31185 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-153007 JP-A 63-181862 JP 2011-38284 A

  By the way, in the case of a mechanical parking facility, call registration of entry / exit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “call registration”) is arbitrarily performed directly from the driving operation panel regardless of an exit reservation or the like. Therefore, as described above, it is necessary to maintain a balance between the person who made the reservation designation for leaving the car and the person who registered by calling from the operation panel.

  However, in the prior art described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the date / time designation reservation pallet can be arranged in the entry / exit section at the reservation time, but since the entry / exit is performed based on the reservation, all reservations are executed. If manual call by the operation panel is not possible, it cannot be processed efficiently when the date designation reservation and call registration from the operation operation panel overlap.

  Further, in the prior art described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, when the call registration is performed by the operation panel, if the date / time designation reservation pallet has arrived at the loading / unloading unit, the date / time designation reservation pallet is temporarily returned. Priority is given to the loading / unloading operation by call registration, and then the call is called again, so that the waiting time for the date-designated reservation person becomes longer.

  Furthermore, in the prior art described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3, a delivery operation is performed at a fixed time every day and a delivery operation by manual operation is described, but there is no description about the operation when they overlap. It has not been.

  In the prior art 4 described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 4, the pallet of the storage / department unit that has been stored can be used for the storage vehicle, but the time can be shortened. There is no description of the operation when the operation is performed.

  As described above, in the prior arts 1 to 4, when the delivery by the date designation reservation and the call registration from the operation panel overlap, it is not possible to shorten the waiting time of the user while achieving both of them.

  Therefore, the present invention is a machine capable of smoothly processing and balancing both the date and time designation reservation of the delivery time designation and the call registration by direct operation at the site, and performing smooth entry and exit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage / exit control method for a parking type parking facility, a storage / exit control device thereof, and a mechanical parking facility including the same.

  In order to achieve the above object, the mechanical parking facility entry / exit method according to the present invention includes date / time designation reservation data for making a date designation reservation for an exit vehicle via an access means, and mechanical parking facility entry / exit A step of determining the presence / absence of the date / time designation reservation data when the parking facility is in an instruction waiting state based on the call registration data and the current time, and at least one date / time designation reservation data exists. Comparing the estimated arrival time calculated based on the pallet call required time and the current time of the date / time designation reservation data at the beginning with the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data, and the comparison result is not less than a predetermined threshold value A pallet call is determined based on the call registration data, and if the pallet call is required, the pallet call is determined based on the call registration data. Selecting a type of call operation, repeated running, and performs the goods movements operation command corresponding to entry and leaving the vehicle the call registration and issuing vehicle of the specified date book. “Access means” in this specification and claims refers to communication means using a telephone line, an Internet line, a local area network line, or the like. Further, the “predetermined threshold value” is a value set as a time during which call registration on site can be executed during a date / time designation reservation. Furthermore, “type of call operation” refers to either entry or exit.

  With this configuration, when the interval between the estimated arrival time of the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, if there is call registration data, the necessity of the pallet call is determined based on the call registration data. judge. When a pallet call is required, the type of pallet call operation is selected based on the call registration data, and a loading / unloading operation command is issued according to the loading / unloading vehicle of call registration. Other than the above, it is possible to process call registration for in-and-out goods in the field normally. Therefore, even if there is a mixture of date and time designation reservation of the leaving vehicle via the access means and call registration of entry and exit in the mechanical parking facility, they can be processed smoothly to achieve both compatibility and smooth entry and exit. User waiting time can be reduced.

  In addition, the estimated arrival time calculated based on the pallet call required time of the date / time designation reservation data and the current time is compared with the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data, and if the comparison result is less than a predetermined threshold, You may make it perform call operation | movement of the head date / time designation reservation data.

  With this configuration, when the estimated arrival time of the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data are less than a predetermined threshold, even if there is call registration data, the operation time required to execute the call registration It is determined that there is no call, and the call for the first date / time designation reservation data is executed without executing the call registration so that the date / time designation reservation is not delayed.

  On the other hand, the entry / exit control device for the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention includes a date / time designation reservation input means for making a date / time designation reservation for the delivery vehicle via the access means, and a call registration of the entry / exit provided in the mechanical parking facility. Input means; data storage means for storing the date / time designation reservation data input by the date / time designation reservation input means and call registration data input by the call registration input means; the date / time designation reservation data, call registration data and current A controller that issues a parking facility entry / exit operation command based on a time, wherein the controller determines whether or not the date / time designation reservation data is present when the parking facility is in an instruction waiting state, and the date / time designation. When there is one or more reservation data, the estimated arrival time calculated based on the pallet call required time and the current time of the first date-specified reservation data is the date-specified reservation data. When the comparison result is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, determining whether a pallet call is necessary based on the call registration data, and when the pallet call is necessary, A step of selecting a type of pallet call operation based on call registration data, and repeatedly executing a pallet call operation type instructing an entry / exit operation command according to the date / time designation reservation delivery vehicle and the call registration entry / exit vehicle Has been.

  With this configuration, when the interval between the estimated arrival time of the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, if there is call registration data, the necessity of the pallet call is determined based on the call registration data. judge. When a pallet call is required, the type of pallet call operation is selected based on the call registration data, and a loading / unloading operation command is issued according to the loading / unloading vehicle of call registration. Other than the above, it is possible to process call registration for in-and-out goods in the field normally. Therefore, even if there is a mixture of date and time designation reservation of the leaving vehicle via the access means and call registration of entry and exit in the mechanical parking facility, they can be processed smoothly to achieve both compatibility and smooth entry and exit. User waiting time can be reduced.

  The control unit may be configured to rearrange the date / time designation reservation data stored in the data storage means in ascending order based on the designated time at the time / date designation reservation.

  With this configuration, since the date and time designation reservations sorted in advance at the designated time are scanned, the data processing efficiency of the date and time designation reservation data can be increased, and the processing time and the load on the control unit can be suppressed.

  Further, the control unit compares the estimated arrival time calculated based on the pallet call required time of the date / time designation reservation data and the current time with the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data, and the comparison result is less than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, it may be configured to execute a call operation for the head date / time designation reservation data.

  With this configuration, when the estimated arrival time of the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time of the date / time designation reservation data are less than a predetermined threshold, even if there is call registration data, the operation time required to execute the call registration It is determined that there is no call, and the call for the first date / time designation reservation data is executed without executing the call registration so that the date / time designation reservation is not delayed.

  In addition, the control unit may be configured to open the entrance / exit door by operating the driving operation panel of the date / time designation reservation person after the execution of the calling operation of the top date / time designation reservation data.

  If configured in this way, the entry / exit door will not open unless the user who made the date / time reservation performs the exit operation using the operation panel, so that the date / time reservation pallet has landed in the storage / exit section. It is possible to prevent other users from entering the storage / exit section.

  In addition, when the operation panel operation is not performed for a predetermined waiting time after the completion of the call operation of the start date / time designation reservation data, the control unit selects the target pallet of the call operation before the call operation. It may be configured to return to the original storage unit.

  With this configuration, the date / time designation reservation is automatically canceled when a predetermined waiting time elapses, and the operation of the call registrant and other date / time designation reservation person by the driving operation panel at the site can be rapidly advanced. it can.

  In addition, in the selection of the pallet call operation based on the call registration data, the control unit checks whether the call registration data is a warehousing call in order from the top when an empty pallet has arrived at the loading / unloading unit. You may be comprised so that warehousing operation | movement may be performed based on the head data of a call.

  With this configuration, if there is an empty pallet after warehousing in the warehousing / unloading section, the warehousing operation is performed by confirming the warehousing call of the call registration data and performing warehousing for the empty pallet using the top data of the warehousing call Can be performed quickly.

  Further, the storage vehicle data included in the top data of the warehousing call is compared with the vehicle data that can be stored in the empty pallet. If the storage vehicle data can be stored in the empty pallet, If the warehousing operation is performed and warehousing is impossible, the parking facility may be operated based on the top data of the call registration data.

  If configured in this way, in a parking facility that can store two or more types of storage vehicles in a mixed manner, the storage vehicle data of the top data of the warehousing call can be stored in an empty pallet after storage in the storage / exit section. If there is a warehousing operation, a quick warehousing is performed, and if the warehousing is impossible, the parking facility can be operated by a normal warehousing operation.

  On the other hand, the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention includes any one of the storage control devices.

  With this configuration, a mechanical parking facility that can handle both date and time designation reservations that specify entry / exit times and call registration by direct operation on-site smoothly to achieve both compatibility and smooth entry / exit Can do.

  According to the present invention, even when the date designation reservation specifying the delivery time and the call registration by direct operation on the site are mixed, they can be processed smoothly to achieve both compatibility and smooth entry / exit. It becomes possible.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the following embodiment, an elevator parking facility 1 of a lower 90 ° entry system that is one of mechanical parking facilities will be described as an example. In addition, the concept of the front / rear / left / right direction in the document of this specification and claims shall be the same as the concept of the front / rear / left / right direction in a state of facing the elevator parking facility 1 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an elevator parking facility 1 has a steel structure formed by main pillars 3 provided in the four corners in the vertical direction and beams (not shown) that connect the main pillars 3 in the horizontal direction. The exterior tower 5 is provided on the outer surface of the steel structure, and the parking tower 2 is formed. In the parking tower 2, the first floor is an entrance / exit section 6, and a pit 8 is formed on the entrance floor 7 of the entrance / exit section 6. In addition, a loading / unloading port 9 is provided on the left side of the loading / unloading unit 6, and an opening / closing type loading / unloading port door 10 is provided in the loading / unloading port 9. A driving operation panel 11 serving as call registration input means is disposed on the outside of the entrance / exit 9.

  In such an elevator parking facility 1, a hoistway 12 having a rectangular shape in plan view is provided in the vertical direction in the center of the parking tower 2. The hoistway 12 has a rectangular shape in which the parking tower 2 is long in the front-rear direction and short in the left-right direction in plan view. Further, a plurality of storage portions (storage shelves) 13 are provided in the vertical direction on both the left and right sides of the figure with the hoistway 12 interposed therebetween. Each storage unit 13 is provided with a shelf rail 14 extending in the horizontal direction shown in the figure. The shelf rail 14 is fixed to the main pillar 3 and a shelf pillar 15 provided in the vertical direction in parallel with the main pillar 3. Along the shelf rail 14, the pallet 27 is paid out / drawn in the left-right direction.

  The hoistway 12 is provided with a transporter (elevator transporter) 16 for transporting the pallet 27. The transporter 16 is provided with a pallet transfer mechanism 17, and the pallet transfer mechanism 17 allows the pallet 27 to be discharged / drawn between the transporter 16 and the shelf rail 14 of each storage unit 13. Furthermore, a pallet lifting and turning device 18 for lifting and turning the pallet 27 of the transporter 16 is provided in the pit 8, and the pallet 27 is loaded and unloaded at the loading / unloading unit 6 by the pallet lifting and turning device 18. It is swung in the direction of the mouth 9. As these pallet transfer mechanism 17 and pallet lifting and turning device 18, known means are adopted.

  Furthermore, in this elevator type parking facility 1, a lifting / lowering drive device 20 that lifts and lowers the transporter 16 along the hoistway 12 is provided in the machine room 4 provided in the upper part of the parking tower 2. A wire rope 21 suspended from the hoistway 12 is hung on the elevating drive device 20 via a turning roller 19. In this embodiment, since the lift drive device 20 is applied to the upper drive system of the elevator parking facility 1, the wire rope 21 hung on the drive sheave 23 of the lift drive device 20 provided in the machine room 4 is In the machine room 4, the wire rope 21 is disposed so as to extend in the horizontal direction. One end of the wire rope 21 is bent by a turning roller 19 provided above the hoistway 12 and hangs down toward the transporter 16. It is suspended. Therefore, by driving the drive sheave 23 of the lifting drive device 20, the transporter 16 suspended by the wire rope 21 is lifted and lowered by the hoistway 12. Further, the other end side of the wire rope 21 is hung at the rear portion of the storage portion 13 by the turning roller 19 and is connected to a counterweight 22 that reduces the hoisting force by the elevating drive device 20.

  And in the elevator type parking equipment 1 of this embodiment, the loading / unloading control apparatus 30 is provided in the said loading / unloading part 6. FIG. The entry / exit control device 30 may be provided outside the elevator parking facility 1 and connected to control the elevator parking facility 1.

  Next, based on FIG. 2, the structure of the said entrance / exit control apparatus 30 is demonstrated. The entry / exit control device 30 includes a computer 31 as a control unit connected to access means (communication means) 40. The computer 31 includes a central processing unit (hereinafter simply referred to as “CPU”) 32, a data store 33 for storing data, and a current date and time acquisition unit 34. The current date and time acquisition unit 34 is not particularly required as long as the date and time of the computer 31 can be accurately maintained.

  The access means 40 includes a date designation reservation input means 41 using the Internet network, a date designation reservation input means 41 using a local area network (hereinafter simply referred to as “LAN”), and the like. The reservation site provided by the entry / exit control device 30 is accessed via the access means 40, and the date designation reservation is made by the date designation reservation input means 41. As the date / time designation reservation input means 41, a personal computer (hereinafter simply referred to as a “personal computer”) connectable to the Internet network or a LAN, a mobile phone or the like is used.

  In the data store 33, the date designation reservation data registered via the access means 40 is stored in the date designation reservation data storage means 35, and the call registration data inputted from the operation panel 11 is stored in the call registration data storage means 36. Remembered. The date / time designation reservation data is stored in the date / time designation reservation data storage means 35 in ascending order based on the reservation date / time, and the call registration data is stored in the call registration data storage means 36 in the order entered on the operation panel 11. The A storage medium such as a flash memory is used as the date designation reservation data storage unit 35 and the call registration data storage unit 36. In the figure, they are described separately, but they may be integrated as long as each data can be stored. In addition, the call registration input from the driving operation panel 11 can be input even during the operation of the elevator parking facility 1 or during the date / time designation reservation.

  The computer 31 is configured to open the entry / exit door 10 by operating the operation panel of the date / time designation reservation person after the execution of the calling operation of the date / time designation reservation data. Note that necessary data may be transferred from the computer 31 to the programmable controller 26 described later, and this control may be performed on the programmable controller 26 side. As a result, the entry / exit door 10 is not opened unless the user who made the date / time designation reservation performs the exit operation using the driving operation panel, so that the date / time designation reservation pallet 27 is placed in the entrance / exit section 6. Can be prevented from entering the loading / unloading unit 6.

  Furthermore, when the computer 31 does not perform a storage operation for a pallet 27 called to the storage / removal unit 6 based on the date / time designation reservation, a waiting time B (for example, 3 minutes) to be described later is not performed. Returns the pallet 27 to the original storage unit 13 before the calling operation, cancels the date / time designation reservation, and accepts a loading / unloading calling operation from the driving operation panel 11. As a result, even if there is an arrival delay or unauthorized cancellation of the date / time designated reservation person, the date / time designation reservation is canceled when a predetermined waiting time elapses, so the waiting time of other users who use the driving operation panel 11 is suppressed. And other users can be prevented from inconvenience. As a specific canceling process, a process of deleting the reserved data and moving up the subsequent data is performed in the same manner as when the operation of the date-designated reserved data described later is normally completed.

  On the other hand, the pallet driving means (including the lifting / lowering driving device 20, the pallet transfer mechanism 17, the pallet lifting and turning device 18 and the like of the transporter 16) 25 including a power supply device, a drive motor, various sensors and the like of the elevator parking facility 1 The drive control is performed by the programmable controller 26 connected to the CPU 32 of the computer 31 in the entry / exit control device 30. As described above, the operation state such as the movement operation of the pallet 27 in the elevator parking facility 1 is controlled by the programmable controller 26. This operating state includes a state in which a predetermined pallet 27 is moved (during activation), an instruction waiting state in which an instruction as to which pallet 27 is to be moved, and the like. Further, the computer 31 of the entry / exit control device 30 obtains information on the driving state of the elevator parking facility 1 via the programmable controller 26.

  Further, a driving operation panel (call registration input means) 11 provided at the entrance / exit 9 of the elevator parking facility 1 is also connected to the programmable controller 26, and call registration data input from the driving operation panel 11. Is stored in the call registration data storage means 36 of the data store 33 via the CPU 32.

  FIG. 3 shows a personal computer 42 and a mobile phone 43 (date designation reservation input means 41) using the Internet network 44 as an example of the access means 40 shown in FIG. In this example, the computer 31 is accessed from the Internet network 44 by the personal computer 42 or the mobile phone 43 via the router 45 provided in the entry / exit control device 30, and the inputted date / time designation reservation is stored in the data store 33 of the computer 31. It has come to be.

  FIG. 4 shows an example using a LAN as another example of the access means 40 shown in FIG. In this example, the computer 31 is accessed from the personal computer 42 connected to the LAN 46 such as a condominium or a building via the hub 47 provided in the storage control device 30, and the input date / time reservation is the data store 33 of the computer 31. To be remembered.

  The access means 40 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is an example, and a configuration using a telephone line may be used.

  According to such an entry / exit control device 30, when a date / time designation reservation is made via the access means 40 at a place away from the elevator parking facility 1, the date / time designation reservation data is stored in the data store 33 of the computer 31. In addition, when call registration is performed from the driving operation panel 11 of the elevator parking facility 1, the call registration data is also stored in the data store 33 of the computer 31, and these data are processed as will be described later. The process with call registration is performed efficiently.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the rearrangement of data in the entry / exit control device. The date designation reservation data input from the access means 40 and stored in the date designation reservation data storage means 35 is the designated time. Based on the ascending order. For example, if a date / time designation reservation is made at 13:30 with a date / time designation reservation registered at 8:30 and 20:42, as shown in the figure, The date and time designation reservation at 13: 5 is arranged between the date and time designation reservation at 20:42. This date / time designation reservation data is rearranged on software.

  Further, the call registration data input from the operation panel 11 can input a plurality of warehousing and delivery, and is stored in the call registration data storage means 36 of the data store 33 in the order of input. By making it possible to input a plurality of call registration data, a reservation can be input in advance even if there are a plurality of waiting for entry / exit due to local call registration, so that the burden on the waiting person can be reduced.

  In this way, the date / time designation reservation data is stored in the date / time designation reservation data storage means 35, and the call registration data is stored in the call registration data storage means 36.

  In addition, the date / time designation reservation data and the call registration data are deleted when the respective operations are normally completed, and the subsequent date / time designation reservation data or call registration data is carried forward.

  FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a relationship between a comparison result between the estimated arrival time of the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7A described later, and a predetermined threshold value. The horizontal axis is the time axis.

  In this figure, compared with the current time A, the estimated arrival time D calculated based on the pallet call required time C of the first date / time designation reservation data is compared with the reservation time B of the date / time designation reservation data, and the comparison result E It is said. The pallet call required time C includes a time difference based on the current state data of the parking facility 1. The current state data of the parking facility 1 includes the position of the transporter 16, the position of the storage unit 13 that stores the incoming vehicle 60, and the like, and includes the current state of each part of the parking facility 1 at that time. In addition, in order to simplify the calculation process, the calculation of the estimated arrival time D may be used as a representative, and a fixed value based on the pallet removal at the farthest storage position may be used.

  The predetermined threshold F is determined based on the pallet call required time C of the date / time designation reservation data, the current time A, and the current state data of the parking facility 1, and the pallet 27 to be moved by the date / time designation reservation data is called at the current time A. When the estimated arrival time D calculated from the time that can be moved to the loading / unloading unit 6 when executed is compared with the reservation time B of the date-specified reservation data, the estimated arrival time D for the reservation time B of the comparison result E A value for determining whether there is a margin G longer than a predetermined time. This predetermined time is a predetermined threshold F. For example, the predetermined threshold value F is set to a time during which call registration input from the driving operation panel 11 can be executed on site.

  As a result, as shown in the determination (S3) of FIG. 7A described later, when the date / time designation reservation data exists, there is a time for performing call registration between the time for starting the date / time designation reservation data and the reservation time. Since there is always a determination of whether or not there is a mixture of date and time designation reservations that specify the departure time and call registration by direct operation at the site, they are processed smoothly to achieve both compatibility and smooth entry and exit. It can be carried out.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6B, whether or not there is a time margin G that is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold F, except for the pallet call required time C, between the current time A and the reservation time B of the date / time designation reservation data. If it is determined that there is a margin G, call registration input from the operation panel 11 is executed on site. However, as in the reserved time H indicated by the two-dot chain line, if there is no margin G between the current time A and the pallet call required time C except for the required time C, the call registration is not performed. Scheduled date / time reservation is executed. Such a determination is made by the computer 31 of the storage control device 30.

  Thus, when there is no time allowance, the pallet 27 to be moved is instructed to the programmable controller using the first date / time designation reservation data, and when there is time allowance, it is designated by the first call registration data. Indicates the pallet 27 being used.

  Next, based on the flowcharts of FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, an example in which a delivery by a date designation reservation and a delivery by call registration are included will be described. Each component will be described with reference numerals in the above-described drawings.

  When the elevator parking facility 1 is in the instruction waiting state, the computer 31 of the storage control device 30 uses the call registration data and the date / time designation reservation data stored in the data store 33 to set the programmable controller of the parking facility 1. The pallet to be moved is instructed to start loading / unloading.

  When entry / exit is started, it is determined whether or not the date / time designation reservation data storage means 35 has the first data (S1). If there is the first data, the estimated arrival time when the first data in the date / time designation reservation data storage means 35 is called and executed at the current time is calculated (S2). The date / time designation reservation data is stored in ascending order of the designated time at the time of reservation.

  Then, it is determined whether or not there is a margin greater than a predetermined threshold between the reservation time of the designated date and time reservation and the estimated arrival time with respect to the current time (S3). Based on this determination, the current time, the estimated arrival time, and the reservation time are compared. If there is no allowance greater than a predetermined threshold between the current time and the reservation time by this comparison, the first date / time reservation data storage means 35 Is called (S4). In this call execution, the unnecessary pallet 27 of the loading / unloading unit 6 is returned to the storage unit 13, the date / time designation reserved pallet 27 is transported from the storage unit 13 to the loading / unloading unit 6, pallet turning, the loading / unloading door 10 is opened, For the delivery of the designated date and time reservation, necessary operations are performed according to the situation of the pallet 27 and the entrance door 10 at the start of this step.

  Thereby, the loading / unloading operation performed in the general elevator parking facility 1 is performed, and it is determined whether or not the loading / unloading operation is completed (S5). When the entering / exiting operation is completed, the processed date / time designation reservation data in the date / time designation reservation data storage means 35 is deleted (S6), and the process returns to the entry / exit start.

  On the other hand, if it is determined whether or not the first date / time designation reservation data storage means 35 has the first data (S1), if there is no first date / time designation reservation data, it is input from the operation panel 11 at the site. It is determined whether or not the first (Nth) call registration data (S7) exists in the call registration data storage means 36 (S8). If there is no call registration data, the process returns to the entry / exit start.

  If the Nth call registration data exists in the call registration data storage means 36, the flow proceeds to the flow shown in FIG. 7B. “I” and “II” shown in the figure indicate continuous portions of the flow.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, if there is Nth call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36, it is determined whether or not the pallet 27 of the loading / unloading unit 6 is an empty pallet (S9). If it is not an empty pallet, the call of the first call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36 is executed (S10). This call execution includes the operations of returning the pallet 27 of the loading / unloading unit 6 to the storage unit 13, transporting the necessary pallet 27 from the storage unit 13 to the loading / unloading unit 6, turning the pallet, and opening the loading / unloading door 10. For the warehousing or warehousing, necessary operations are performed according to the state of the pallet 27 and the warehousing door 10 at the start of this step.

  Thereby, the loading / unloading operation performed in the general elevator parking facility 1 is performed, and it is determined whether the loading / unloading operation is completed (S11). When the entry / exit operation is completed, the processed call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36 is deleted (S12), and the process returns to the entry / exit start.

  On the other hand, if the pallet of the loading / unloading unit is an empty pallet (S9), it is determined whether or not the Nth call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36 is a pallet (S13). ). If it is determined that the car is out, the next call registration data is determined (S14), and it is further determined whether the call registration data is stored in the call registration data storage means 36 (S15). Thereby, the call registration of the warehousing registered first is found from the call registration registered in the call registration data storage means 36.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the warehousing vehicle registered for the warehousing is the warehousing target vehicle type of the empty pallet 27 of the warehousing / unloading unit 6 (S16). As this determination, even if there is an empty pallet 27 in the loading / unloading unit 6, if the storage vehicle 13 is a high roof vehicle and the size of the storage unit 13 in which the pallet 27 is stored does not fit for a standard vehicle, for example, This is done because it is necessary to call a suitable empty pallet. This determination (S16) is an unnecessary determination for a parking facility that stores only one vehicle type. In this determination (S16), if the empty pallet 27 of the loading / unloading unit 6 matches the loading vehicle type of the call registration data, the Nth call registration data is loaded (S17).

  As described above, when there is an empty pallet 27 in the loading / unloading unit 6 of the elevator type parking facility 1 while waiting for instructions, the computer 31 of the loading / unloading control device 30 calls a call to be loaded from already registered call registration data. When the registration data is extracted and the first call registration data can use the empty pallet 27 in the loading / unloading unit 6, the loading operation is performed so that the call registration data is processed first. .

  Thereby, the loading / unloading operation performed in the general elevator parking facility 1 is performed, and it is determined whether the loading / unloading operation is completed (S11). Thereafter, the processed call registration data for which the entry / exit operation has been completed as described above is deleted (S12), and the process returns to the entry / exit start.

  On the other hand, if the empty pallet 27 does not match the incoming vehicle type in the determination (S16), the call of the first call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36 is executed (S10). In this call execution (S10), the unused pallet of the loading / unloading unit 6 is returned to the storage unit 13, the empty pallet 27 that matches the storage vehicle type is transferred from the storage unit 13 to the loading / unloading unit 6 and turned, and the loading / unloading door is opened. 10 is opened.

  If there is no Nth call registration data in the call registration data storage means 36 in the determination (S15), the call of the first call registration data is executed (S10). In this call execution (S10), the unused pallet of the loading / unloading unit 6 is returned to the storage unit 13, the loading / unloading pallet 27 is conveyed from the storage unit 13 to the loading / unloading unit 6 and turned, and the loading / unloading door 10 is opened.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the exit operation has been completed (S11), the processed call registration data for which the exit operation has been completed is deleted (S12), and the process returns to the start of entry / exit.

  As described above, according to the elevator type parking facility (mechanical parking facility) 1, the date / time designation reservation person who makes a reservation for access via the access means 40 can leave at the reserved date and time, Call registration that is directly input is efficiently processed during the date and time designation reservation, so that the waiting time of the date and time designation reservation person and the call registrant can be reduced and a smooth entry and exit can be performed.

  Moreover, since it is determined whether or not the call registration of the user who goes to the site and performs call registration on the operation control panel 11 can always be performed during the date and time designation reservation, the waiting time of the local user is made as short as possible. This can reduce the irritation of local users.

  Therefore, according to the elevator type parking facility 1, it is possible to achieve both the waiting time of the user who performs the date and time designation reservation and the direct operation call registration with an appropriate time, and smooth entry and exit can be performed. It is possible to configure an elevator parking facility 1 (mechanical parking facility).

  In the above embodiment, the elevator-type parking facility 1 of the lower entry type has been described as an example. However, as the mechanical parking facility, the entrance / exit 9 is provided, and the pallet 27 is provided with the predetermined storage portion 13 and the entrance / exit portion 6.
