[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The pallet 2 rotates in the mechanical parking lot 1 and moves up and down and up and down to store the vehicle 10 in a predetermined position.

  The pallet 2 is formed by bending a steel plate. Between the center guide convex part 4 formed at the center part in the width direction and the pair of left and right wheel guide walls 5 erected on the side edges on both sides. In addition, two wheel guide grooves 3 for guiding the wheels of the vehicle 10 along the longitudinal direction of the pallet 2 are formed. And the power supply part 6 is provided in the one end part of one wheel guide wall 5B. The power supply unit 6 may also be provided on the other wheel guide wall 5A.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, the power supply unit 6 is erected vertically from the wheel guide wall 5, and includes an outlet unit 7 and a case unit 8. The power supply unit 6 supplies, for example, 200V power.

  The parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B are displayed in the wheel guide groove 3 of the pallet 2. The parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B are displayed by painting, for example. When the vehicle 10 is placed on the pallet 2 and the vehicle 10 has a connection port with the charging gun 12 on the wheel guide wall 5A side, the driver must prevent the vehicle 10 from being placed on the parking prohibited area 9A. Is placed. On the other hand, when the vehicle 10 is placed on the pallet 2 and the vehicle 10 has a connection port with the charging gun 12 on the wheel guide wall 5B side, the driver does not place the vehicle 10 on the parking prohibited area 9B. The vehicle 10 is placed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the vehicle 10 is placed close to the one side end on the pallet 2, so that the charging gun 12 and the charging cable 13 are reliably stored in the effective space. A symbol S in FIG. 6 indicates a boundary line of the effective space.

  As a result, even if the pallet 2 rotates and moves, the charging gun 12 and the charging cable 13 connected to the vehicle 10 can be prevented from jumping out from the effective space. And it can prevent that the charging gun 12 and the charging cable 13 damage | damage or damage the other member in the mechanical parking lot 1, other apparatuses, or the vehicle 10 by catching or contact.

  Here, the effective space is, for example, (W + 150) × (L + 200) × (H + 50) when the size of the maximum vehicle that can be stored is W × L × H. By defining the effective space, the pallet 2 can be safely rotated or moved in the mechanical parking lot 1.

  The parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B are charged so that the vehicle 10 with the charging gun 12 connected, the charging gun 12, and the charging cable 13 are within an effective space in which the vehicle 10 can be securely stored. It is determined based on the size, position and shape of the gun 12 and the charging cable 13. For example, considering the length of the charging gun 12 connected to the vehicle 10 to be stored and the bending of the charging cable 13, the width of the parking prohibited areas 9 </ b> A and 9 </ b> B from the side end of the pallet 2 to the inside of the pallet 2 is It is determined.

  The parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B may be lit with LEDs. Thereby, when the vehicle 10 which does not mount a rechargeable battery is mounted, it can prevent a driver from being confused by not blinking the LED. Further, according to the vehicle type, either the parking prohibited area 9A or the parking prohibited area 9B is turned on in accordance with the position of the connection port of the vehicle 10. As a result, it is possible to prevent the driver 10 from being confused and bringing the vehicle 10 to the opposite side and stopping it as compared with the case where the parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B are painted on the pallet 2. The distinction between the types of vehicles placed on the pallet 2 is determined based on, for example, the result taken by the camera 35 at the time of warehousing, or installed near the loading / unloading port 14 as shown in FIGS. 39 and 40. It is determined by an input on the operation panel 18. 39, reference numeral 16 represents an entry / exit door, and in FIGS. 39 and 40, reference numeral 17 represents an entry control lamp. The operation panel 18 is provided with a monitor 25, an IC card reader 26, a speaker 27, an emergency stop button 28, and the like.

And may be distinguished from each other. Then, at the time of warehousing, it is possible to prevent the driver from being confused by displaying on the display panel 37 as shown in FIG. 41 which parking area 9A or 9B should be approached depending on the vehicle type. it can. For example, when the parking prohibition area 9A is red and the parking prohibition area 9B is painted in blue, and the vehicle 10 is not placed in the parking prohibition area 9B, “blue” It can be guided so that the vehicle can be parked correctly by displaying “parking so as not to fall on” or “parking on red”. Here, the case where one parking prohibited area 9B (blue) urges parking prohibition and the other parking prohibited area 9A (red) becomes a parking possible area has been described. In FIG. 41, reference numeral 35 represents a camera, reference numeral 36 represents a mirror, and reference numeral 38 represents a caution label.

  Further, the display content of the display board 37 is changed using, for example, a control block shown in FIG. In other words, the result taken by the camera 35 and the input such as the user ID / password on the operation panel 18 are sent to the main control unit 45, and the main control unit 45 collates with the user database 46 to store the vehicle to be stored. 10 vehicle types, necessity of charging, connection port position of charging gun 12 and the like are determined. Then, based on the determination result, the main control unit 45 displays on the display board 37 such as “parking so as not to be blue” as described above. Note that the display content of the display panel 37 also alerts the charging gun 12 and the charging cable 13 not to jump out of the effective space even in the case of display content such as “move to the right” or “move to the left”. be able to.

  Furthermore, although the case where parking prohibition area | region 9A, 9B was displayed on the pallet 2 was demonstrated in FIGS. 1-4, you may display the parking possible area | region 15 on the pallet 2, as shown in FIG. When it is desired to open the wheel guide wall 5 </ b> A side of the pallet 2, the vehicle 10 is parked such that the side surface of the vehicle 10 on the wheel guide wall 5 </ b> A side is within the parking area 15. Conversely, when it is desired to make the wheel guide wall 5B side of the pallet 2 clear, the vehicle 10 is parked so that the side surface of the vehicle 10 on the wheel guide wall 5B side is within the parking area 15.

  In addition, about the parking position of the vehicle 10, as shown in FIG. 41, a driver | operator looks at the mirror 36 installed in front of the vehicle 10 at the time of warehousing, and the vehicle 10 and parking prohibition area | region 9A, 9B or parking possible area | region 15 can be confirmed, and the vehicle 10 can be parked in accordance with the display. Alternatively, the position of the vehicle 10 may be confirmed on the monitor from the photographing result of the camera 35, and the main control unit 45 determines the position of the vehicle 10 and the parking prohibited area 9 </ b> A based on the photographing result of the camera 35. 9B or the relationship with the parking area 15 may be confirmed to determine whether or not the vehicle 10 is properly placed on the pallet 2, and the suitability of placement may be displayed on the display panel 37. Further, the camera 35 may shoot and record the relationship between the position of the vehicle 10 and the parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B or the parking possible area 15. Thereby, the administrator of the mechanical parking lot 1 can confirm later whether the proper use was carried out when the pallet 2 was parked.

  Further, in FIGS. 1 to 4, both the parking prohibited areas 9 </ b> A and 9 </ b> B are displayed on the pallet 2 on the pallet 2, but only one of them may be displayed on the pallet 2. Then, in cooperation with the vehicle type information, the pallet 2 is rotated before warehousing so that the position of the parking prohibited area matches the connection side of the vehicle 10 to be parked with the charging gun 12. Thereby, the driver can place the vehicle 10 appropriately only by parking corresponding to the parking prohibited area where only one is displayed.

  The parking prohibited areas 9A and 9B can also represent areas where the charging cable 13 can be installed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, care should be taken not to place the charging cable 13 on the end portion 3A of the wheel guide groove 3 because the parking prohibition areas 9A and 9B are not painted up to the end portion 3A of the wheel guide groove 3.
