  As a result, the user is allowed to move away from the vicinity of the input display unit, preventing the locking unit from repeating unnecessary locking and unlocking, and improving the durability of the drive mechanism such as the solenoid provided in the locking unit. Can be made.

  Moreover, since the lid is not automatically unlocked until the user leaves the input display section after closing the lid of the input display section, for example, when there is an outsider near the input display section, It is possible to prevent the input display unit from being opened by a person, and to keep the input display unit safe.

  In the control device configured as described above, the mobile authentication medium may be a remote controller capable of remotely operating the input display unit. Thereby, since the authentication information can be arbitrarily transmitted or the operation of the input display unit can be performed remotely, the convenience of the mechanical parking facility can be further enhanced.

  In addition, the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention is characterized by including the above-described control device, so that the user can automatically unlock and lock the lid of the input display unit without operating with a key. As a result, the convenience of the mechanical parking facility can be enhanced and the security of the input display section can be maintained.

  The mechanical parking facility control method according to the present invention is a mechanical parking facility control method in which an input display unit is provided with a lid that can be opened and closed, and is portable authentication carried by a user. Acquire authentication information transmitted from the medium, authenticate the acquired authentication information against user registration information registered in a database, and unlock the lid when the authentication is successful, When the acquisition of the authentication information is interrupted, the locking part is not unlocked.

  According to the above control method, the user can unlock the lid of the input display unit simply by approaching the input display unit. After the input display unit is used, the user can close the lid and leave the input display unit. The lid is not unlocked.

  For this reason, the user does not need to unlock and lock the lid of the input display unit with a key as in the conventional case, and the convenience of the mechanical parking facility can be dramatically improved. In addition, since the user never forgets to lock the lid and the lid is not unlocked for outsiders, the security of the input display unit can be kept sound.

  As described above, according to the control device for the mechanical parking facility according to the present invention, the mechanical parking facility equipped with the same, and the control method for the mechanical parking facility, the lid of the input display unit is unlocked, Locking can be performed automatically to increase the convenience of mechanical parking facilities and keep the input display section safe.

When the operation screen 35 is not used, the operation screen 35 is covered from the outside by closing the lid 34 and is protected from wind and rain.

  The lid 34 also serves as a handle for pulling out and is provided with a locking portion 38 for locking the lid 34. The locking unit 38 is an auto-lock type that is locked at the same time as the lid 34 is closed, but is configured to be unlocked by a drive mechanism such as a solenoid (not shown) when receiving an unlocking command from the main control unit 30. Has been. Further, the locking unit 38 can output the open / closed state of the lid 34 to the main control unit 30.

  The locking unit 38 can be manually unlocked and locked by inserting a dedicated key into the key hole 38a. However, if the portable authentication medium 41 described later is used, the unlocking command is output from the main control unit 30 automatically. Can be unlocked. A green lamp 39 that is lit when unlocked and a red lamp 40 that is lit when locked are provided above the locking portion 38. For example, LEDs are used as the lamps 39 and 40.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a user who uses this multi-story parking lot 1 is lent with a portable authentication medium 41 in which the user's own authentication information is stored, and the user uses the mechanical parking lot 1. It is required to carry it when you do it. The portable authentication medium 41 is formed, for example, in the form of a tag or a key holder, and is carried along with a vehicle key or carried in a bag or bag. As will be described later, the mobile authentication medium 41 may be a remote controller capable of remotely operating the operation panel 22.

  The portable authentication medium 41 has a built-in power battery, and transmits unique authentication information (signal radio wave). It is essential that the mobile authentication medium 41 moves with the user's body. For example, the mobile authentication medium 41 should not be left inside the parked vehicle and the user should not get off.

  An antenna 43 (authentication information acquisition unit) is provided in the vicinity of the operation panel 22 (operation screen 35), for example, in the lower part of the basket 5. The antenna 43 acquires authentication information transmitted from the mobile authentication medium 41 possessed by the user and transmits the authentication information to a lock control unit 30 d described later provided in the main control unit 30.

  The distance (detection range) at which the antenna 43 can acquire the authentication information is set to about 3 m, for example. As a result, it is possible to prevent the authentication information of a user who is far away from being used unnecessarily, and when the mobile authentication medium 41 has a remote control function, the authentication information can be acquired even when the user is on the vehicle 2 It can be done. In addition, it can protect from a wind and rain, a thunderbolt, etc. by providing the antenna 43 in the lower part of the eaves 5.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the control device 50 of the multilevel parking lot 1.
In the control device 50, an operation screen 35 (input display unit) of the operation panel 22 is connected to the main control unit 30, and serves as both an input unit that is a touch panel and a display unit that is a liquid crystal screen. Various types of information input from the operation screen 35 by the user are transmitted to the main control unit 30, and various types of information sent from the main control unit 30 are displayed on the operation screen 35.

  The main control unit 30 includes an arithmetic processing unit 30a for executing machine control, authentication control, screen display, input processing, scroll processing, input processing, and the like, and is connected to a database 30b. The database 30b stores data such as an on-vehicle state, a pallet shape type, presence / absence of a charged vehicle (EV), and user registration information.

  The main control unit 30 is connected to an antenna 43 as an authentication information acquisition unit and a machine control unit 30c. The machine control unit 30c is a part that executes various controls such as the operation of the turning drive unit 11, the lifting and lowering of the lift 14, and the opening and closing of the loading / unloading door 4a.

  Further, a locking control unit 30 d is connected to the main control unit 30. The locking control unit 30d waits for the authentication information to be acquired from the portable authentication medium 41 possessed by the user by the antenna 43, and executes the unlocking and locking control of the locking unit 38 based on the acquisition status of the authentication information. To do.

  That is, when the user approaches the operation panel 22 (antenna 43) for entering or leaving, the authentication information transmitted from the portable authentication medium 41 possessed by the user is detected by the antenna 43, and this authentication information is the authentication result. To the main control unit 30.

  Based on this, an unlocking command is output from the main control unit 30 to the locking control unit 30d, and the locking control unit 30d outputs an unlocking signal to the locking unit 38 to unlock the locking unit 38. Specifically, a solenoid (not shown) built in the locking part 38 is energized and excited, and the unlocking mechanism operates to unlock the solenoid. Therefore, the user can easily open the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 without using a key. Information on whether or not the lid 34 has been opened by the user is input from the locking unit 38 to the main control unit 30 via the locking control unit 30d. That is, the main control unit 30 can recognize the open / closed state of the lid 34.

  Further, the locking control unit 30d prevents the locking unit 38 from being unlocked when the acquisition of the authentication information transmitted from the mobile authentication medium 41 is interrupted. That is, it is left to the automatic locking type locking part 38 to lock automatically. Of course, even if an outsider who does not have the portable authentication medium 41 approaches the operation panel 22, the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is not unlocked.

  Furthermore, after the locking control unit 30d unlocks the locking unit 38 based on the acquisition of the authentication information, the lid 34 is not opened by the user even after a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds to 10 seconds) has elapsed. In this case, after the locking unit 38 is locked, the acquisition of the authentication information is again waited.

  Further, the locking control unit 30d waits for a predetermined time (for example, about 5 seconds) after the opened lid 34 is closed by the user and the lid 34 is automatically locked by the automatic locking mechanism of the locking unit 38. Otherwise, waiting for the acquisition of the next authentication information is not resumed.

  Next, the flow at the time of warehousing in the multilevel parking garage 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to the time chart shown in FIG. In this time chart, the situation in front of the entrance / exit 4, the situation of the operation panel 22, the situation of the entrance / exit 7, and the operation situation of the multi-story parking lot 1 are arranged side by side, A state of transition is displayed, and each operation (action) is denoted by reference signs A1, A2, A3,.

  At the time of warehousing, first the vehicle to be garnished stops before the loading / unloading port 4 (A1), and the user gets off and moves to the front of the operation panel 22 (A2). Thereby, the authentication information transmitted from the portable authentication medium 41 possessed by the user is acquired, and the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is unlocked (A3). At this time, the red lamp 40 of the lid 34 is turned off and the green lamp 39 is lit, so that the user is notified that the lid 34 has been unlocked. The user opens the lid 34 (A4), operates the operation panel 22 to input the intention of warehousing and selects the warehousing vehicle type (A5), and returns to the vehicle (A6). Since the first user authentication is automatically performed simultaneously with the action A3, an authentication operation for inputting a personal identification number in the action A5 is not necessary.

  On the other hand, the transport of the empty pallet 18 is started by the user's action A5 (A7), the empty pallet 18 arrives at the entrance floor 7 and the entrance / exit door 4a is opened (A8). The user who has been waiting in the vehicle drives the vehicle and enters the boarding floor 7 (A9), stops the vehicle at a fixed position, gets off and moves to the front of the operation panel 22 (A10). Thereby, the second user authentication is automatically performed (A11).

  The user confirms the safety in the entrance room 7 and closes the entrance / exit door 4a (A12), and then closes the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 (A13). For this reason, the lid 34 is automatically locked by the automatic locking action of the locking portion 38. At this time, the green lamp 39 on the lid 34 is extinguished and the red lamp 40 is turned on to notify the user that the lid 34 has been locked. When the result of the second user authentication is different from the result of the first user authentication, an error is displayed on the operation screen 35 of the operation panel 22 so that the entry / exit door 4a cannot be closed.

  When the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is closed, the waiting for authentication information acquisition (automatic authentication mode) is resumed after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed (A14).

  Next, the flow at the time of delivery will be described with reference to the time chart shown in FIG.

  At the time of delivery, the user who has arrived at the multi-story parking lot 1 arrives in front of the operation panel 22 (A16), whereby the authentication information transmitted from the portable authentication medium 41 possessed by the user is acquired and the operation panel 22 is acquired. The lid 34 is unlocked (A17). At this time, the red lamp 40 of the lid 34 is turned off and the green lamp 39 is lit, so that the user is notified that the lid 34 has been unlocked. The user opens the lid 34 (A18), operates the operation panel 22 to input the intention of leaving (A19), and waits. Note that the first user authentication is automatically performed simultaneously with the action A17.

  The user's action A19 starts the conveyance of the pallet 18 from the vehicle storage shelf 17 in which the outgoing vehicle is accommodated (A20), and the pallet 18 loaded with the outgoing vehicle arrives at the entrance floor 7 and enters / exits the door 4a. Opens (A21). The user who has been waiting enters the boarding floor 7 and gets on the vehicle (A22), drives the vehicle to move out of the boarding floor 7 (A23), gets off and gets in front of the operation panel 22 Move (A24). As a result, the second user authentication is automatically performed (A25).

  The user confirms the safety in the entrance room 7 and closes the entry / exit door 4a (A26), and then closes the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 (A27). For this reason, the lid 34 is automatically locked by the automatic locking action of the locking portion 38. At this time, the green lamp 39 on the lid 34 is extinguished and the red lamp 40 is turned on to notify the user that the lid 34 has been locked. As in the case of warehousing, if the result of the second user authentication is different from the result of the first user authentication, an error is displayed on the operation screen 35 of the operation panel 22 so that the warehousing door 4a cannot be closed. It has become.

  When the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is closed, waiting for the acquisition of authentication information (automatic authentication) is resumed after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed (A28).

  Next, the flow in which the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is automatically unlocked by the control device 50 regardless of whether it is entering or leaving, will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this flowchart, reference numerals S1, S2, S3,...

  At the start of this control, the control device 50 is in the automatic unlocking standby mode, the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is closed, and the locking part 38 is locked (step S1). When a user who has the portable authentication medium 41 comes, authentication information transmitted from the portable authentication medium 41 is acquired by the antenna 43 and sent to the locking control unit 30d (step S2). The locking control unit 30d determines whether or not the authentication information has been successfully acquired (step S3).

  If the decision result in the step S3 is NO, the process moves to a step S4 and waits until a predetermined time elapses. This waiting time is, for example, about 3 seconds. As a cause of NO in step S3, for example, there is a case where the user puts the portable authentication medium 41 in a bag and the transmission of authentication information is weak due to the positional relationship or the like. In such a case, it is possible to increase the probability that the authentication information is acquired during a certain period of time waiting.

  If the decision result in the step S3 is YES, the acquired authentication information is sent to the main control unit 30 and collated with the user registration information stored in the database (step S5). Next, it is determined whether or not the authentication is successful based on the above collation result (step S6). If the determination result in step S6 is NO, the process proceeds to step S4 and waits until a predetermined time elapses. If the determination result in step S6 is YES, the locking portion 38 is unlocked (step S7).

  When the locking part 38 is unlocked in step S7, a timer is set, for example, a waiting time of 5 seconds is provided (step S8). During this time, the user needs to open the lid 34 of the operation panel 22. During this time, it is determined whether or not the time is up in step S9. If the time is not up (step S9 → NO), the process proceeds to step S10, and it is determined whether or not the lid 34 is opened. If the lid 34 is not opened (step S10 → NO), the process returns to step S9 again. If the lid 34 is opened (step S10 → YES), the control is finished.

  If the determination result in step S9 is YES, that is, if the time is up without the lid 34 being opened, the locking portion 38 is locked (step S11), and the control ends. As described above, the situation where the time is up without the lid 34 being opened is that the user who has the portable authentication medium 41 happens to pass near the operation panel 22 (antenna 43), or use the multi-story parking lot 1. The user who changed his / her intention and left without opening the lid 34 may be used.

  Next, the flow in which the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is automatically locked by the control device 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  At the start of this control, the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is open, and the locking portion 38 is locked by auto-locking (step S21). The locking control unit 30d is in a state of acquiring the closed state of the lid 34 (step S22), and then it is determined whether or not the lid 34 is closed (step S23). If the lid 34 is not closed (step S23 → NO), steps S22 and S23 are repeated. If the lid 34 is closed (step S23 → YES), a timer is set, for example, a waiting time of 5 seconds. Is provided (step S24). This waiting time takes into account the time from when the user closes the lid 34 until he leaves.

  During this waiting time, it is determined whether or not the time is up in step S25. If the time is not up (step S25 → NO), the process returns to step S25 again, and when the time is up (step S25 → YES), The process proceeds to the automatic unlocking standby mode (step S26), and the control ends.

  As described above, according to the control device 50, when the user carrying the portable authentication medium 41 approaches the operation panel 22, the authentication information transmitted from the portable authentication medium 41 is transmitted to the antenna 43 (authentication information acquisition unit). And the waiting lock control unit 30d unlocks the lock unit 38 based on the acquisition of the authentication information. Further, when the user leaves the operation panel 22, the acquisition of the authentication information is interrupted, so that the locking unit 38 is not unlocked by the locking control unit 30d.

  For this reason, the user does not need to unlock and lock the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 with a key as in the prior art, and the convenience of the multi-story parking lot 1 can be greatly improved. Moreover, after the user closes the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 and leaves, the lid 34 is not unlocked until another user holding the portable authentication medium 41 approaches, so the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 is not opened. Is not left in an unlocked state.

  In this way, in addition to the fact that the lid 34 is not unlocked for outsiders, there is no concern that the user forgets to lock the lid 34 and moves away, so the operation panel 22 (operation screen 35) Security can be kept healthy.

  If the user does not open the lid 34 even after a predetermined time has elapsed after unlocking the locking unit 38, the locking control unit 30d locks the locking unit 38 and obtains authentication information again. To wait.

  Therefore, if the lid 34 is not opened for some reason after the locking portion 38 is unlocked by the user's approach (for example, if the user has just passed near the operation panel 22), the predetermined time (for example, 5 Second)), the locking control unit 30d locks the locking unit 38, and the locking control unit 30d again waits for acquisition of authentication information.

  For this reason, even if the user is absent after the lid 34 is unlocked, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the operation screen 35 of the operation panel 22 is mischievous by an outsider. Can keep you healthy.

  Furthermore, the locking unit 38 is an auto-lock type that is locked at the same time as the lid 34 is closed, and the locking control unit 30d is a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) after the lid 34 is closed and locked. After that, it waits for the acquisition of authentication information.

  For this reason, the locking control unit 30d does not resume acquisition (standby) of the next authentication information until the predetermined time has elapsed after the user closed the lid 34 of the operation panel 22, and thus the lid 34 was closed. Immediately after that, it is prevented that the lock is unlocked again by the authentication information of the user who is still nearby.

  As a result, the user is allowed to move away from the vicinity of the operation panel 22 to prevent the locking portion 38 from repeating unnecessary locking and unlocking, and the durability of the drive mechanism such as a solenoid provided in the locking portion 38 is prevented. Can be improved.

  Moreover, since the lid 34 is not automatically unlocked until the user leaves the operation panel 22 after closing the lid 34, for example, when an outsider is near the operation panel 22, the lid 34 is opened by the outsider. Can be prevented, and the security of the operation panel 22 (operation screen 35) can be kept sound.
