As shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 50 includes a door closing forget detection unit 81, a camera failure detection unit 82, a mode setting unit 83, a warehousing control unit 84, and a warehousing control unit 85.

The door closing forget detection unit 81 detects that the entry / exit door has been forgotten to close. For example, the forgetting to close door detection unit 81 detects forgetting to close the door, for example, by executing a door closing forgetting process described later. When the forgetting door closing detection unit 81 detects the forgetting to close the door, the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 outputs to the mode setting unit 83 a forgetting to close door signal indicating that the occurrence of forgetting to close the door is detected.
The camera failure detection unit 82 detects a failure of the camera 35. When detecting a failure of any of the cameras 35, the camera failure detection unit 82 outputs a camera failure signal indicating that a camera failure has occurred to the mode setting unit 83.

  The mode setting unit 83 switches the control mode based on input information from the door closing forget detection unit 81 and the camera failure detection unit 82. Specifically, the mode setting unit 83 selects and sets one of the three modes of the normal mode, the door closing forgetting mode, and the camera failure mode. The normal mode is a mode that is selected when the door is not forgotten to be closed or the camera has failed, in other words, when a series of warehousing processes or evacuation processes are performed by the same person. In the normal mode, as will be described later, when the user operates the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22, input operations such as unattended confirmation, safety confirmation, and door closing are performed.

  The forgetting to close door mode is a control mode that is selected when the forgetting to close door detection unit 81 determines that forgetting to close the door has occurred. This door closing forgetting mode is a mode in which an unattended confirmation input is performed from an unmanned confirmation button 26 provided in the passenger compartment 7. When the door closing is forgotten, a series of warehousing process or evacuation process is not performed by the same person. Specifically, a person who gives an instruction to open a door is different from a person who gives an instruction to close a door. Therefore, in order to further improve safety, a person who has taken over the warehousing operation or the warehousing operation is directly confirmed in the passenger compartment, and the unattended confirmation button 26 is used to confirm unattended.

  The camera failure mode is a control mode that is selected when a camera failure is detected by the camera failure detection unit 82. In this camera failure mode, it is impossible to display a real-time image captured by the camera on the monitor, so the user cannot check the passenger compartment using the monitor. Therefore, in the case of the camera failure mode as well, the unmanned confirmation input is performed from the unmanned confirmation button 26 provided in the passenger compartment 7 in the same manner as the forgetting to close the door described above.

The warehousing control unit 84 has a warehousing control program corresponding to each of the normal mode, the door closing forgetting mode, and the camera failure mode, and by executing the program corresponding to the mode set by the mode setting unit 83. Realization of storage control described later, for example, display control of the operation panel 22 is realized.
The delivery control unit 85 has a delivery control program corresponding to each of the normal mode, the door forgetting mode, and the camera failure mode, and by executing the program corresponding to the mode set by the mode setting unit 83. Realizing the delivery control described later, for example, display control of the operation panel 22 and the like.

[Receipt processing: normal mode]
Next, with reference to FIG.7 and FIG.8, the flow of the warehousing process which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the flow of the warehousing process when the forgetting to close the door does not occur, that is, in the normal mode. The following processing is realized by, for example, setting the normal mode by the mode setting unit 83 and executing the warehousing control program in the normal mode by the warehousing control unit 84.

  First, the user moves the vehicle 2 in front of the entrance / exit 3 (SA1), gets off (SA2), and heads for the operation panel 22. Then, the lock is unlocked with a dedicated key and the lid 44 of the housing 43 is opened (SA3). When it is detected that the lid 44 is opened, the main control unit 50 displays a first user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SA4). When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SA5), the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the warehousing control unit 84. Thereby, in the warehousing control part 84, the 1st user authentication which determines whether the person who is going to perform warehousing is the user registered previously is performed.

If the user authentication is successful, the warehousing control unit 84 displays a warehousing activation confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 and provides guidance to the user to operate the activation button (SA6).
Thus, when the activation button is pressed by the user (SA7), a warehousing activation signal indicating that the activation button has been depressed is input to the warehousing control unit 84. When receiving the warehousing start signal, the warehousing control unit 84 calls an empty pallet from the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SA8). Further, the door closing forget detection process 81 described later is executed by the door closing forget detection unit 81 upon receipt of the warehousing start signal.

When the empty pallet is called, the warehousing control unit 84 displays a warehousing waiting confirmation screen indicating a warehousing waiting state on the touch panel 45 (SA9). The user who has confirmed this screen gets into the vehicle 2 (SA10) and waits for the arrival of an empty pallet (SA11). When the empty pallet arrives at the entry / exit room (SA12), the warehousing control unit 84 displays a door opening screen indicating that the warehousing door 4 is opened on the touch panel 45 (SA13), and opens the warehousing door 4 (SA14).
When the entry / exit door 4 is completely opened, the entry control unit 84 displays an entry guide screen that prompts the user to enter the vehicle 2 (SA15).

  When the user moves the vehicle 2 into the passenger compartment (SA16 in FIG. 8) and places the vehicle 2 on the empty pallet transported into the passenger compartment (SA17), the user exits the passenger compartment 7. Subsequently, the warehousing control unit 84 displays a second user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SA18). Thus, when the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SA19), the user ID registered in the IC card is read, and the second user authentication is performed by the warehousing control unit 84. In the second user authentication, user authentication for determining whether or not the received user ID is a pre-registered user ID, a user ID input in the first user authentication, It is determined whether the user ID input in the user authentication has a certain relationship, for example, whether or not both are the same. As a result, whether or not the user operating the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22, and the subsequent input operation is performed by the same user who has instructed the operation to start warehousing. Determine if it will be done.

  When the second user authentication is successful, the warehousing control unit 84 causes the touch panel 45 to display an unmanned confirmation screen for allowing the user to perform unmanned confirmation in the passenger compartment, and to unmanned the user in accordance with the unmanned confirmation screen. Guidance is provided to allow confirmation (SA20). Here, on the unmanned confirmation screen displayed on the touch panel 45, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the unmanned confirmation after confirming the unmanned in the passenger compartment by using the unmanned confirmation button B1 and the real-time image displayed on the monitor 28. A guidance for operating the button B1 (external input means) is displayed.

  When the user confirms the unmanned state in the passenger compartment 7 by the real-time image displayed on the monitor 28, the user presses the unmanned confirmation button B1 (SA21). When unmanned confirmation information is input by operating the unmanned confirmation button B1 by the user, the warehousing control unit 84 subsequently displays a safety confirmation screen for causing the touch panel 45 to perform final safety confirmation (SA22). ). On the safety confirmation screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a safety confirmation button B2 and a guidance for operating the safety confirmation button B2 after performing unattended confirmation of the passenger compartment 7 by visual observation are displayed.

  The user visually checks the passenger compartment 7 unattended and presses the safety confirmation button B2 (SA23). When safety confirmation information is input by operating the safety confirmation button B2 by the user, the warehousing control unit 84 causes the touch panel 45 to display a door closing screen for closing the warehousing door 4 (SA24). As a result, the door closing button displayed together with the door closing screen is pressed by the user (SA25).

  Here, the warehousing control unit 84 displays the unmanned confirmation screen, the safety confirmation screen, and the closing screen on the above-mentioned unmanned confirmation screen, the safety confirmation button B2, and the door closing by the user within a predetermined time after displaying these screens. If the button is not pressed, the second user authentication screen may be displayed again and the user ID may be requested again. Here, the required time may be different for each screen or may be common.

  When the user presses the door closing button, the warehousing control unit 84 outputs a closing signal of the warehousing door 4 to the warehousing / exiting door control unit 55. As a result, the door is closed (SA26). When the user confirms that the entry / exit door 4 is completely closed, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22 and closes the key (SA27), and leaves the operation panel 22 (SA28). In addition, when the closing operation of the entry / exit door 4 is completed, the warehousing control unit 84 outputs a conveyance signal to the conveyance machine control unit 56. Thereby, the pallet on which the vehicle 2 is placed is conveyed by the lift 14 and stored in the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SA29).

[Receipt processing: forget to close door mode]
Next, the flow of the warehousing process when forgetting to close the door will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the flow of the forgetting to close door detection process for detecting whether or not the forgetting to close the door has occurred will be described with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, and then the warehousing process when the occurrence of forgetting to close the door is detected is described. The flow will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIGS. 11 and 12 are flowcharts of the door closing forgetting detection process executed by the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 shown in FIG.
In the door closing forgetting process according to the present embodiment, the period from when the entry / exit door 4 is opened until the entry / exit door 4 is closed is divided (divided) into a plurality of periods, and forgetting to close the door is determined for each period. A reference time is preset. And when the required time in each period passes the preset reference time, it determines with the forgetting to close a door having generate | occur | produced. In the present embodiment, the period from when the entry / exit door 4 is opened until the entry / exit door 4 is closed is the period from when the entry activation signal is received until the vehicle 2 enters the passenger compartment 7. An example will be described in which the period from when the user enters the room to when the user leaves the boarding room 7 is divided into the period from when the user leaves the boarding room 7 until the user ID is input. However, the method of dividing the category is not limited to this example. For example, these sections may be combined and regarded as one section.

  Similarly, at the time of delivery, a period from when the entry / exit door 4 is opened until the entry / exit door 4 is closed is divided (divided) into a plurality of periods, and a reference time for determining whether to forget to close the door for each period. To detect the occurrence of forgetting to close the door. As an example of the classification at the time of delivery, for example, during the period from when the entry / exit door 4 is opened until the user enters the entry / exit room 7, the vehicle 2 exits the entry / exit room 7 after the user enters the entrance / exit. For example, a period until the user ID is input after the vehicle 2 leaves the passenger compartment 7 is included.

  First, when the door closing forget detection unit 81 receives the warehousing start signal (S1), the timer is reset (S2) and then the timer is started (S3). Thereby, the time measurement by a timer is started. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has been received (S4). The entry of the vehicle is determined based on, for example, a detection signal from the entry / exit detection sensor 30. As a result, when the vehicle has not been received (“NO” in S4), it is determined whether the timer count has passed a preset first reference time t1 (S5). As a result, when the first reference time t1 has not elapsed (“NO” in S5), the process returns to step S4. If the vehicle has not been received until the timer count has passed the first reference time t1 (“YES” in S5), it is determined that forgetting to close the door has occurred (S6).

  On the other hand, when the vehicle has been received before the timer count reaches the first reference time t1 (“YES” in S4), the timer is reset (S7) and then the timer is started (S8). Thereby, timing by the timer is started again. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the user's exit from the passenger compartment 7 is detected (S9). The user's exit is determined based on the detection signal of the entrance / exit detection sensor 30. As a result, when the exit of the user is not detected (“NO” in S9), it is determined whether the timer count has passed a preset second reference time t2 (S10). As a result, when the second reference time t2 has not elapsed ("NO" in S10), the process returns to step S9. If the user's exit is not detected until the timer count has passed the second reference time t2 ("YES" in S10), it is determined that the forgetting to close the door has occurred (S6).

On the other hand, if the user's exit is detected before the timer count reaches the second reference time t2 (“YES” in S9), the timer is reset (S11 in FIG. 12) and then the timer is started. (S12). Thereby, timing by the timer is started again. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a predetermined user ID is input on the operation panel 22 (S13). Here, the predetermined user ID is, for example, the same user ID as the user ID input in step SA5 of FIG. That is, it is determined whether or not the same person as the person who performed the door opening instruction is operating the operation panel 22 in front of the operation panel 22.
As a result, if the predetermined user ID is not input (“NO” in S13), it is determined whether or not the timer count has passed a preset third reference time t3 (S14). As a result, if the third reference time t3 has not elapsed ("NO" in S14), the process returns to step S13. If a predetermined user ID is input before the timer count reaches the third reference time t3 ("YES" in S13), the process is performed without detecting forgetting to close the door. finish. On the other hand, if the predetermined user ID has not been input before the timer count has passed the third reference time t3 (“YES” in S14), it is determined that the forgetting to close the door has occurred (FIG. 11 S6).

  In FIG. 11, the timer is reset and started when the warehousing start signal is received. Instead, the timer is reset when it is detected that the warehousing door 4 is fully opened. It may be activated.

  In the door closing forget detection process, the forgetting to close the door up to the process until the user ID is entered on the second user authentication screen is detected. The period from when the user ID is input until the entry / exit door 4 is closed may be measured by a timer, and when this period has passed a preset reference time, it may be determined that forgetting to close the door has occurred. .

  When the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 determines that the door forgetting to close has occurred, the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 outputs to the mode setting unit 83 a door closing forgetting occurrence signal indicating that the door closing forgetting has been detected. When the door closing forgetting generation signal is input, the mode setting unit 83 switches the control mode from the normal mode to the door closing forgetting mode. Thereby, the warehousing control part 84 will perform the warehousing process corresponding to the door closing forgetting mode.

  Next, the warehousing process when the forgetting to close the loading / unloading door 4 is detected by the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. In the following description, as an example, a case will be described in which the user moves without entering the passenger compartment and getting off the vehicle without performing safety confirmation or door closing operation on the operation panel. In addition, since it is the same as that of step SA1-SA18 in the normal mode mentioned above, about the process etc. from which a user makes a vehicle approach into a passenger compartment and alights, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  First, if the user ID is not input on the operation panel 22 even after the third reference time t3 has elapsed after the user leaves the boarding / exiting room 7 (SB19), the warehousing control unit 84 The user authentication screen in the forgetting to close the door mode is displayed on the touch panel 45 (SB20). FIG. 15 shows an example of the user authentication screen in the forgetting to close the door mode. As shown in FIG. 15, the user authentication screen in the forgetting to close door mode displays that a forgetting to close the door has occurred and a message prompting the user to input a user ID. Note that voice guidance may be notified from a speaker together with the display on the touch panel 45. The warehousing control unit 84 notifies the contact information set in advance that the forgetting to close the door has occurred together with the display of the user authentication screen. Examples of the predetermined contact information include a contact information of a portable terminal carried by an administrator or maintenance personnel, a contact information of a portable terminal carried by a user's family who has forgotten to close the door. Here, the person registered in the predetermined contact has the authority to perform the door closing operation when forgetting to close the door occurs.

  When the person who has received the above contact (hereinafter, described as an administrator) rushes to the operation panel 22 and brings his IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SB21), the user ID registered in the IC card is changed. It is read, and the user authentication in the door closing forgetting mode is performed by the warehousing control unit 84. In this user authentication, it is determined whether or not the person is authorized to close the entry / exit door when the forgetting to close the door occurs. Accordingly, when it is confirmed that the right authority is given, the warehousing control unit 84 displays the in-place unattended confirmation screen in the forgetting to close the door on the touch panel 45 (SB22). FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the in-place unattended confirmation screen. As shown in FIG. 16, the unmanned confirmation screen in the hall enters the passenger compartment 7 and directly confirms the unmanned person in the hall and the unmanned person in the car, and presses the unmanned confirmation button 26 installed in the passenger room 7. A message for guiding the user to return to the operation panel 22 is displayed.

  The manager who has confirmed the in-place unattended confirmation screen enters the entry / exit room 7 and presses the unattended confirmation button 26 after confirming that there is no person in the vehicle and in the entrance / exit. At this time, the warehousing control unit 84 may select the unmanned confirmation button 26 for inputting the unmanned confirmation from the attributes of the vehicle and guide the administrator to press only the selected unmanned confirmation button 26. For example, guidance may be provided so that all unmanned confirmation buttons 26A to 26D installed in the passenger compartment 7 are pressed, or two unmanned confirmation buttons (for example, unmanned confirmation buttons 26A installed on a diagonal line). And 26C) may be pushed. Guidance may be performed by voice from a speaker provided in the passenger compartment 7. For example, an unmanned confirmation button (for example, unmanned confirmation button) that does not depress an unmanned confirmation button to be pressed (for example, unmanned confirmation buttons 26A and 26C). 26B and 26D) may be lit in a different manner. For example, the warehousing control unit 84 may prompt the manager to input by lighting only the unmanned confirmation buttons (for example, unmanned confirmation buttons 26A and 26C) to be operated. Further, the unattended confirmation button 26 pressed by the manager may be turned off.

  When the manager confirms the unattended in the hall and the vehicle (SB23) and presses all the unattended confirmation buttons 26 that are the object of the input operation (SB24), the unmanned confirmation signal is controlled from the depressed unattended confirmation button 26. Is transmitted to the unit 84. The warehousing control unit 84 displays an unattended confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 when confirming that all the unattended confirmation buttons 26 that are the targets of the input operation have been operated by the administrator (SB25). FIG. 17 shows an example of an unattended confirmation screen in the forgetting to close the door mode. As shown in FIG. 17, the unmanned confirmation screen in the forgetting to close door mode displays a message indicating that the forgetting to close the door has occurred in addition to the unattended confirmation screen in the normal mode shown in FIG. The manager checks the real-time image displayed on the monitor 28 to confirm again the unmanned state of the passenger compartment 7 and presses the unmanned confirmation button B1 displayed on the unmanned confirmation screen (SB26). When unmanned confirmation information is input by the unmanned confirmation button B1 being operated by an administrator, the warehousing control unit 84 subsequently displays a safety confirmation screen that allows the touch panel 45 to perform final safety confirmation (SB27). ). As shown in FIG. 18, in addition to the normal mode safety confirmation screen shown in FIG. 10, a message to the effect that forgetting to close the door is displayed on the safety confirmation screen in the door closing forgetting mode.

  When the manager again confirms that the unmanned person in the passenger compartment 7 is visually checked, the manager presses the safety confirmation button B2 (SB28). When safety confirmation information is input by the safety confirmation button B2 being operated by an administrator, the warehousing control unit 84 causes the touch panel 45 to display a door closing screen for closing the warehousing door 4 (SB29). FIG. 19 shows an example of the door closing screen in the door closing forgetting mode. As shown in FIG. 19, a message indicating that the user has forgotten to close the door is displayed on the door closing screen together with the door closing button B3. When the administrator presses the door close button on the door close screen (SB30), the warehousing control unit 84 performs the door closing control for closing the warehousing door 4 (SB31). When the user confirms that the entry / exit door 4 is completely closed, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22 and closes the key (SB32), and leaves the operation panel 22 (SB33). In addition, when the closing operation of the entry / exit door 4 is completed, the warehousing control unit 84 performs conveyance control for conveying the pallet on which the vehicle 2 is placed by the lift 14 and storing it in the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SB34).

When a camera failure is detected by the camera failure detection unit 82 at the time of warehousing, guidance is provided to operate the unmanned confirmation button 26 in the passenger compartment, as in the door closing forget mode. This is because when the camera breaks down, unattended inside the passenger compartment by the monitor 28 cannot be confirmed. In this case, the camera failure mode screen is displayed in place of the door closing forget mode screens shown in FIGS. For each screen in the camera failure mode, a message “Camera failure is occurring” is displayed instead of the message “Forgetting to close”.
In addition, when the camera breaks down, it is difficult to perform on-site confirmation using the monitor in FIG. 17, and thus unattended confirmation using the monitor may be omitted.

[Outgoing processing: Normal mode]
Next, with reference to FIG.20 and FIG.21, the flow of the leaving process which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIGS. 20 and 21 are diagrams illustrating the flow of the leaving process in the case where the forgetting to close the door does not occur, that is, in the normal mode. The following processing is realized by, for example, setting the normal mode by the mode setting unit 83 and executing the normal mode exit control program by the exit control unit 85.

  First, the user moves to the front of the operation panel 22 (SC1), and opens the lid 44 of the operation panel 22 using a key (SC2). When it is detected that the lid 44 has been opened, the exit control unit 85 displays a first user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SC3). When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SC4), the user ID registered in the IC card is read and output to the exit control unit 85. Thereby, the first user authentication for determining whether or not the user is a user registered in advance is performed in the delivery control unit 85.

  If the user authentication is successful, the delivery control unit 85 displays a delivery start confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 and provides guidance to the user to operate the start button (SC5). Thus, when the activation button is pressed by the user (SC6), the exit control unit 85 conveys the actual pallet on which the user's vehicle 2 is placed from the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SC7). In addition, when the warehousing start signal is received, the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 starts the door closing forgetting detection process described above.

Further, when the actual pallet is called, the warehousing control unit 85 displays a warehousing waiting confirmation screen indicating a queuing waiting state on the touch panel 45 (SC8). The user who confirms this screen waits for the arrival of the actual pallet (SC9).
When the actual pallet arrives at the entry / exit room 7 (SC10), the warehousing control unit 85 displays a door opening screen indicating that the warehousing door 4 is opened on the touch panel 45 (SC11), and performs door opening control for opening the warehousing door 4. (SC12).

  When the loading / unloading door 4 is completely opened, the unloading control unit 85 displays a unloading guidance screen that prompts the user to unload the vehicle 2 on the touch panel (SC13). In addition, the exit control unit 85 prompts the user to exit by turning on a three-color lamp or an entrance control lamp provided in front of the passenger compartment 7.

  When the user confirms the exit guidance screen, the user moves into the passenger compartment (SC14). Then, the user gets on the vehicle 2 placed on the pallet 18 (SC15 in FIG. 21) and causes the vehicle 2 to leave (SC16). When the delivery is completed, the user gets out of the vehicle 2 and moves to the front of the operation panel 22 (SC17). At this time, the leaving control unit 85 displays the second user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 (SC18).

  When the user confirms the second user authentication screen displayed on the touch panel 45, the IC card is brought into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SC19). Thereby, the user ID registered in the IC card is read, and the second user authentication is performed by the delivery control unit 85. In the second user authentication, user authentication for determining whether or not the received user ID is a pre-registered user ID, a user ID input in the first user authentication, It is determined whether the user ID input in the user authentication has a certain relationship, for example, whether or not both are the same. As a result, whether or not the user who has operated the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22, and the subsequent input operation is performed by the same user who has instructed the operation to start shipping. Determine if it will be done.

  If the authentication is successful, the warehousing control unit 85 displays an unmanned confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 and performs guidance for unattended confirmation (SC20). For example, an unattended confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the touch panel 45 as in the case of warehousing. When the user confirms unmanned in the passenger compartment by confirming the real-time image in the passenger compartment displayed on the monitor 28, the user presses the unmanned confirmation button B1 (SC21). Thus, when unattended confirmation information is input, the warehousing control unit 85 subsequently displays a safety confirmation screen that allows the touch panel 45 to perform final safety confirmation (SC22). For example, a safety confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the safety confirmation screen as in the case of warehousing. When the user visually confirms that there is no person in the passenger compartment 7, the user presses the safety confirmation button B2 displayed on the safety confirmation screen (SC23).

When safety confirmation information is input by the safety confirmation button B2 being operated by the user, the warehousing control unit 85 causes the touch panel 45 to display a door closing screen for closing the warehousing door 4 (SC24). As a result, the user presses the door closing button displayed on the door closing screen (SC25).
Here, the unloading control unit 85 displays the unmanned confirmation screen, the safety confirmation screen, and the closing screen on the above-mentioned unmanned confirmation screen, the unmanned confirmation button B1, the safety confirmation button B2, and the closed door by the user within a predetermined time after displaying these screens. If the button is not pressed, the second user authentication screen may be displayed again and the user ID may be requested again. Here, the required time may be different for each screen or may be common.

  When the door close button is pressed by the user, the warehousing control unit 85 performs door closing control for closing the warehousing door 4 (SC26). When the user confirms that the loading / unloading door 4 is completely closed, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22 and closes the key (SC27), and leaves the operation panel 22. Further, when the closing operation of the entry / exit door 4 is completed, the exit control unit 85 performs transport control for transporting the empty pallet by the lift 14 and storing it in the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SC28).

[Shipping process: Forgetting to close the door mode]
Next, the flow of the leaving process when forgetting to close the door will be described with reference to FIGS.
Note that the door closing forgetting detection process by the door closing forgetting detection unit 81 is performed at the time of delivery as well as at the time of entry. The door closing forgetting detection process at the time of leaving is replaced with the process of step S1 in FIG. 11 instead of receiving the leaving start signal, and the determination process of step S4 is replaced with a process of determining whether the user has entered the passenger compartment. The determination process in step S9 is replaced with a process for determining whether or not the vehicle has left, and the other processes are the same. The setting from the first reference time t1 to the third reference time t3 may be the same as or different from that at the time of warehousing. For example, the time required varies between when a person moves and when a vehicle moves. For this reason, it is preferable to appropriately set and change the first reference time t1 to the third reference time t3 according to the moving object.

  In the following description, as an example, a case will be described in which, after the user leaves the vehicle from the passenger compartment 7, the vehicle is moved without performing a safety check or door closing operation on the operation panel 22. In addition, since it is the same as that of step SC1-SC18 in the normal mode mentioned above about the process until it leaves a vehicle from the passenger compartment 7, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  First, if a user ID is not entered on the operation panel 22 even after the vehicle has left the passenger compartment 7 for a certain period of time, that is, after the third reference time t3, the forgetting to close door detection unit 81 Forgetting to close is detected. As a result, the mode setting unit 83 changes the current control mode from the normal mode to the forgetting to close the door mode. Thereby, the delivery control part 85 performs delivery control in the door closing forgetting mode.

  First, the exit control unit 85 causes the touch panel 45 to display a user authentication screen in the forgetting to close the door mode (SD19 in FIG. 22). This user authentication screen is the same as that at the time of warehousing shown in FIG. In addition, the exit control unit 85 notifies a preset contact address that forgetting to close the door has occurred. Examples of the predetermined contact information include a contact information of a portable terminal carried by an administrator or maintenance personnel, a contact information of a portable terminal carried by a user's family who has forgotten to close the door. In addition, a person registered in a predetermined contact has an authority to perform a door closing operation when forgetting to close the door occurs.

  When the person who has received the above contact (hereinafter, described as an administrator) rushes to the operation panel 22 and brings his or her IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46 (SD20), the user ID registered in the IC card is It is read, and the user authentication in the door closing forgetting mode is performed by the delivery control unit 85. In this user authentication, it is determined whether or not the person is authorized to close the entry / exit door when the forgetting to close the door occurs. Thereby, when it is confirmed that the right authority is given, the leaving control unit 85 displays the in-place unattended confirmation screen in the forgetting to close the door on the touch panel 45 (SD21). This in-place unattended confirmation screen is the same as the screen at the time of warehousing shown in FIG. That is, the unmanned confirmation screen in the hall enters the passenger compartment 7 and directly confirms the unmanned person in the hall and the unmanned person in the vehicle, and presses the unmanned confirmation button 26 installed in the passenger compartment 7 to return to the operation panel 22. A message is displayed for guidance.

  The manager who has confirmed the in-place unattended confirmation screen enters the boarding / alighting room 7, confirms that there is no person in the vehicle and the boarding / alighting room (SD22), and presses the unattended confirmation button 26 (SD23). At this time, the parking lot control device 40 selects the unmanned confirmation button 26 for performing the unmanned confirmation input from the attributes of the vehicle, and the manager presses only a part of the unmanned confirmation buttons 26 as in the case of the warehousing. You may guide as follows.

  In this way, when all the unattended confirmation buttons 26 that have been subjected to the input operation by the administrator are pressed, an unattended confirmation signal is transmitted from the pressed unattended confirmation button 26 to the exit control unit 85. When the delivery control unit 85 confirms that all the unattended confirmation buttons 26 that are the targets of the input operation have been operated by the administrator, the exit control unit 85 displays an unattended confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 (SD24 in FIG. 23). Thereby, an unattended confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 17 is displayed on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22.

  The manager checks the real time image displayed on the monitor 28 to confirm again the unmanned state of the passenger compartment 7 and presses the unmanned confirmation button B1 displayed on the unmanned confirmation screen (SD25). When unattended confirmation information is input by the unmanned confirmation button B1 being operated by an administrator, the warehousing control unit 85 displays a safety confirmation screen in the forgetting to close the door mode on the touch panel 45 (SD26). Thereby, a safety confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22. When the manager visually confirms the unattended in the passenger compartment 7 again, the manager presses the safety confirmation button B2 (SD27). When the safety confirmation information is input by the safety confirmation button B2 being operated by the administrator, the warehousing control unit 85 causes the touch panel 45 to display a door closing screen in the door closing forgetting mode (SD28). Thereby, a door closing screen as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22. When the door close button B3 on the door closing screen is pressed by the administrator (SD29), the warehousing control unit 85 performs a closing operation for closing the warehousing door 4 (SD30). When the user confirms that the loading / unloading door 4 is completely closed, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22 and closes the key (SD 31), and leaves the operation panel 22. Further, when the closing operation of the loading / unloading door 4 is completed, the unloading control unit 85 conveys the pallet on which the vehicle 2 is placed by the lift 14 and stores it in the vehicle storage shelf 17 (SD32).

When a camera failure is detected by the camera failure detection unit 82 at the time of delivery, guidance is provided to operate the unmanned confirmation button in the passenger compartment as in the door closing forget mode. This is because when the camera breaks down, unattended inside the passenger compartment by the monitor 28 cannot be confirmed. In this case, a camera failure mode screen is displayed instead of the door closing forgetting mode screen shown in FIGS. For each screen in the camera failure mode, a message “Camera failure is occurring” is displayed instead of the message “Forgetting to close”.
In addition, when the camera breaks down, it is difficult to perform on-site confirmation using the monitor in FIG. 17, and thus unattended confirmation using the monitor may be omitted.

As described above, according to the mechanical parking device 1 and its control method and control program according to the present embodiment, an unattended confirmation button provided in the passenger compartment 7 when the forgetting to close the door occurs. The door closing control is performed after the unmanned confirmation, the safety confirmation and the door closing operation on the operation panel 22 are performed after the button 26 is pressed. According to the present embodiment, since the door closing control is not performed unless the unmanned confirmation button 26 in the passenger compartment is pressed, it is possible to require unmanned confirmation in the passenger compartment 7. Thereby, it becomes possible to further improve safety.
In particular, in this embodiment, in addition to the parking lot manager and the parking lot maintenance staff, the user's family is also given the authority to close the door when forgetting to close the door. For this reason, there is a possibility that a person unaccustomed to the operation of the parking lot may perform the closing operation. Even in such a case, careful operation guidance is performed from the operation panel 22 or the like, and the unoccupied person in the boarding room is directly checked by entering the boarding / alighting room, so that the door is closed in a state where there is a person in the boarding room. It is possible to reduce the possibility of being lost.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using the said embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. Various changes or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment without departing from the gist of the invention, and embodiments to which the changes or improvements are added are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, the flow of the warehousing process and the evacuation process described in the above embodiment and the unmanned determination process are also examples, and unnecessary steps can be deleted within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention, It is possible to change the processing order.

  For example, in this embodiment, the unmanned confirmation button B1 and the safety confirmation button B2 are displayed on the touch panel 45, and the user is requested to input sequentially. However, in a mechanical parking apparatus that is premised on the same person performing both unattended confirmation and safety confirmation, safety confirmation may be omitted. That is, in this case, when the unmanned confirmation button B1 is pressed on the unmanned confirmation screen, the closing screen is displayed. A safety confirmation screen may be used instead of the unattended confirmation screen.

  Further, in this embodiment, when it is detected that the door is forgotten to close and a camera failure is detected, an unattended confirmation is input from the unmanned confirmation button 26 provided in the passenger compartment. In addition to this, when a series of warehousing processes or a series of evacuation processes are not performed by the same user, an unattended confirmation may be input from the unmanned confirmation button 26 in the passenger compartment. Thereby, when the person who performed the opening operation is different from the person who performs the closing operation, it becomes possible to directly enter the passenger compartment and confirm unattended before the closing operation. Thereby, safety can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the operation panel 22 is controlled by the main control unit 50 is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the operation panel control device is provided in the operation panel 22 and the operation panel control device is provided. The above-described warehousing process and warehousing process may be realized by exchanging information with the main control unit 50.
