  Further, the operation panel 22 can be operated to interrupt the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 from the operation screen 45. The operation interruption operation (operation to remove a lost item) is performed, for example, when the user has left something behind in the vehicle, for example, after the transport of the vehicle has started inside the mechanical parking device 10. When the operation interruption operation is performed, an operation interruption instruction is output to the control device 50 described later. The operation suspending operation is not limited to the operation on the touch panel-type operation screen 45, and a dedicated button for the operation suspending operation may be provided on the operation panel 22, or a terminal (for example, a machine) that the user can carry around. The operation may be performed from a remote controller of the parking device 10 or a smartphone.

  FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram illustrating functions provided in the control device 50 of the mechanical parking device 10. The control device 50 controls the entry / exit operation of the mechanical parking device 10. The control device 50 controls the operation prohibition state of the vehicle.

  The control device 50 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown), a memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a computer-readable recording medium. A series of processes for realizing various functions described below are recorded in a recording medium or the like in the form of a program, and the CPU reads the program into a RAM or the like to execute information processing and arithmetic processing. Thereby, various functions described below are realized. The program may be installed in advance in a ROM or other storage medium, provided in a state stored in a computer-readable storage medium, or delivered via a wired or wireless communication unit. Etc. may be applied. The computer-readable storage medium is a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control device 50 includes an entry / exit control unit 51 and a vehicle state control unit 52. In the present embodiment, the vehicle state control unit 52 is provided in the same control device as the entry / exit control unit 51, but may be provided as a device independent of the entry / exit control unit 51.

  The entrance / exit control unit 51 drives a conveyor for transporting the vehicle and the entrance / exit door 4 in the entry / exit room 7 by controlling various motors (not shown). More specifically, the entry / exit control unit 51 pulls out an empty pallet 18 from the storage shelf 17 and places it in the entry / exit room 7 when a reservation for entry of the vehicle is entered. Then, when the vehicle arrives in front of the entry / exit room 7 and the opening of the entrance is input by the operation panel 22, the entry / exit door 4 is opened. Then, the vehicle is placed on the pallet 18, the safety in the passenger compartment 7 is confirmed, and after the safety confirmation button is pressed, the entry / exit door 4 is closed, and the vehicle is transported from the passenger compartment 7 to the storage 3. The entry / exit control unit 51 conveys the pallet 18 on which the exit vehicle is placed from the storage shelf 17 to the entry / exit room 7 when the exit of the vehicle is reserved. Then, when the user who has made a reservation for arriving arrives in front of the getting-in / out room 7 and the opening of the entrance is input by the operation panel 22, the entrance / exit door 4 is opened. Then, the vehicle is taken out of the passenger compartment 7, the safety inside the passenger compartment 7 is confirmed, and after the safety confirmation button is pressed, the entrance / exit door 4 is closed, and the pallet 18 on which the retrieved vehicle is placed is stored on the storage shelf. To 17.

  When the vehicle enters the vehicle, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a prohibition signal to the vehicle to put the vehicle into an operation prohibition state. Note that, before the vehicle is put into the operation prohibition state, that is, when the vehicle is parked in the entry / exit room 7 by the user, it is assumed that the vehicle is in a state where the vehicle can enter (initial vehicle state). The state in which parking is possible is a state of the vehicle in which it is assumed that no accident will occur even if transportation or the like is performed inside the mechanical parking device 10. For example, the warehousing possible state is a state in which a movable part such as a door of the vehicle is in a closed state, the light is turned off, and automatic driving is not performed. Note that, when the vehicle is parked in the passenger compartment 7 by the user, the vehicle may be prompted to enter a state in which the vehicle can enter (initial vehicle state). Further, the vehicle state control unit 52 may transmit, to the vehicle, a control signal for setting the vehicle in a state in which the vehicle can be stored (initial vehicle state) before transmitting the prohibition signal for setting the vehicle to the operation prohibition state. That is, the vehicle state control unit 52 sets the operation prohibited state so that the vehicle that has entered the garage-ready state (initial vehicle state) does not operate due to an erroneous operation inside the mechanical parking device 10.

  The operation prohibition state is a state in which the operation (change from the initial state) of various states of the vehicle such as the state of the movable part of the vehicle, the lighting state of the light, and the automatic driving control state is prohibited. That is, when the vehicle enters the operation prohibition state, the vehicle maintains the state before the operation prohibition state of the vehicle (the state in which the vehicle can be stored). The movable part is, for example, a physically movable part such as a car door, a door mirror, a hatchback, or a slide door. When the vehicle enters the operation prohibition state, the vehicle does not operate according to a control signal from an external remote controller or the like. Note that, as the operation prohibition state, the operation based on a control signal from a device other than the mechanical parking device 10 may not be performed, that is, only the mechanical parking device 10 may have the operation execution authority of the vehicle.

  In the present embodiment, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a prohibition signal for the movable part and the like and a prohibition signal for the automatic driving operation to the vehicle as the prohibition signal. The movable part other prohibition signal is a signal for prohibiting operations such as the state of the movable part and the lighting state of the light in the vehicle, and the automatic driving operation prohibition signal is a signal for prohibiting the operation by the automatic driving. That is, the operation prohibition state means that the change of the state of the movable part and the lighting state of the light in the vehicle is prohibited based on the movable part other prohibition signal, and the operation by the automatic driving is prohibited based on the automatic driving operation prohibition signal. State. If the vehicle does not have an automatic driving function, the prohibition signal may be transmitted including a prohibition signal for movable parts and the like.

  When the vehicle enters the vehicle, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a prohibition signal that sets the vehicle to the operation prohibition state, thereby restricting the vehicle in a state in which the vehicle can enter (initial vehicle state) so as not to operate. By doing so, for example, even if an erroneous operation is performed on the vehicle by an external remote controller or the like of the vehicle, the erroneous operation is not performed on the vehicle side if the vehicle is in the operation prohibition state, thereby preventing an accident. Becomes possible.

  The vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a prohibition signal before transporting the vehicle from the passenger compartment 7 to the hangar 3. An accident is likely to occur inside the mechanical parking device 10, particularly during transportation of the vehicle. For this reason, by transmitting the prohibition signal before the vehicle is transported from the passenger compartment 7 to the hangar 3, the operation of the vehicle can be prohibited while the vehicle is being transported. When the vehicle is turned by the turntable 9 in the passenger compartment 7 before the vehicle is transported, an accident may occur due to the turning of the vehicle. Therefore, a prohibition signal is transmitted before the vehicle is turned. Is more preferable.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a prohibition signal is transmitted when the entry / exit door 4 of the entry / exit room 7 is closed to enter the vehicle (that is, before the vehicle is turned by the turntable 9). However, the vehicle state control unit 52 may transmit the prohibition signal before transporting the vehicle from the entry / exit room 7 to the hangar 3. Therefore, the vehicle state control unit 52 is not limited to when the entrance / exit door 4 of the entry / exit room 7 is closed, and can be appropriately designed. is there. For example, on the vehicle side, when it is detected that the vehicle is parked in the getting on / off room 7 and the vehicle is ready for parking, and the vehicle parking enable signal can be transmitted to the mechanical parking device 10 side, the vehicle state control unit 52 Alternatively, a prohibition signal may be transmitted when the storage enable signal is received.

  In addition, when the vehicle leaves the vehicle, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a release signal for releasing the operation prohibition state of the vehicle. Before leaving the vehicle, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited by the prohibition signal. Therefore, when leaving the vehicle, it is necessary to release the operation inhibition state. Therefore, the vehicle state control unit 52 automatically releases the operation inhibition state of the vehicle by transmitting a release signal to the vehicle when the vehicle leaves the warehouse.

  Specifically, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a release signal after transporting the vehicle from the hangar 3 to the entry / exit room 7. In particular, since an accident is likely to occur during transportation of the vehicle, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a release signal after transporting the vehicle from the hangar 3 to the entry / exit room 7. When the vehicle is turned by the turntable 9 in the passenger compartment 7 after transporting the vehicle, an accident may occur due to the turning of the vehicle. More preferred.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a release signal is transmitted when the entry / exit door 4 of the entry / exit room 7 is opened to exit the vehicle (that is, after the vehicle is turned by the turntable 9). However, since the vehicle state control unit 52 only needs to transmit the release signal after transporting the vehicle from the hangar 3 to the entry / exit room 7, the vehicle state control unit 52 is not limited to opening the entry / exit door 4 of the entry / exit room 7 and can be appropriately designed.

  In addition, when an instruction to interrupt the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 is input after transmitting the prohibition signal, the vehicle state control unit 52 transports the vehicle to the passenger compartment 7 and moves the vehicle from the storage 3 to the passenger compartment 7. After the vehicle is transported, a release signal for releasing the operation prohibition state of the vehicle is transmitted (forgotten thing removal processing). For example, after the entrance / exit door 4 of the getting-in / out room 7 is closed for entry and the transportation of the vehicle is started, the user may notice that the user has left something behind in the vehicle. In this case, when the user performs an operation interruption operation using the operation panel 22, an operation interruption command is input to the vehicle state control unit 52. When the operation interruption command is input, the vehicle state control unit 52 transmits a command to the entry / exit control unit 51 to return the vehicle to the loading / unloading room 7 for transportation. Then, by transmitting the release signal after the vehicle is conveyed to the passenger compartment 7 to release the operation prohibition state, the user can quickly retrieve the left-behind items in the vehicle.

  The vehicle state control unit 52 may notify the operation panel 22 or a remote control or a smartphone of the user that the vehicle is in the operation prohibition state and that the operation prohibition state of the vehicle is released. Good.

  Next, a vehicle compatible with the vehicle protection system will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle includes a vehicle-side communication unit 56 and a vehicle-side control unit 57. In the present embodiment, a case of one-way communication in which a signal is transmitted from the mechanical parking device 10 to a vehicle will be described. The case of two-way communication will be described later as a second embodiment.

  The vehicle-side communication unit 56 can communicate with the communication unit 54 in the mechanical parking device 10 and receives signals (a prohibition signal and a release signal) from the communication unit 54. The received signal is transmitted to a vehicle-side control unit 57 described later. The vehicle-side communication unit 56 is, for example, an ETC vehicle-mounted device capable of transmitting and receiving signals by DSRC, but is not limited thereto, and may be a car navigation device or the like having a communication function by DSRC.

  The vehicle-side control unit 57 controls various operations of the vehicle. In particular, the vehicle-side control unit 57 controls the state of the vehicle based on signals (prohibition signal and release signal) received from the mechanical parking device 10 via the vehicle-side communication unit 56. Specifically, when the vehicle-side control unit 57 receives the prohibition signal from the mechanical parking device 10, the vehicle-side control unit 57 checks various states of the vehicle such as the state of the movable unit in the vehicle, the lighting state of the light, and the automatic driving control state. By prohibiting the operation, the vehicle is set in the operation prohibition state. When the vehicle is in the operation prohibition state, for example, even when a command is received from a remote controller or the like of the vehicle, the operation is not performed, and the state of the vehicle before the operation prohibition state is maintained.

  In addition, when the vehicle is in the operation prohibition state and receives a release signal from the mechanical parking device 10, the vehicle-side control unit 57 releases the operation prohibition state. When the operation prohibition state is released, various operations in the vehicle can be executed.

  Next, a process at the time of storage in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, the processing in the vehicle is shown on the left side, and the processing in the mechanical parking device 10 is shown on the right side.

  First, in the mechanical parking device 10, a parking reservation is made by receiving an input of a user's authentication number or the like on the operation panel 22 (PS101). Upon receiving the reservation for storage, the user authentication for collating the input authentication number with the user DB is performed, and the storage shelf 17 for mounting the vehicle is determined (PS102). If the storage shelves 17 on which the vehicles are to be mounted are pre-assigned to the storage shelves 17 for each user, the storage shelves 17 corresponding to the users who have been authenticated are determined, and the storage shelves 17 can be arbitrarily set. If it can be determined, for example, it is determined to be an empty storage shelf 17 on the lower storage floor.

  Then, the mechanical parking device 10 starts the parking and transports the pallet 18 to the passenger compartment 7 (PS103). During this time, the waiting time during which the pallet 18 arrives at the boarding room 7 may be notified together with the user number indicating the current user.

  When the pallet 18 arrives at the passenger compartment 7, the mechanical parking device 10 opens the entry / exit door 4 (PS 104). For example, on the operation panel 22 or the like, an entry guidance for prompting entry is displayed, and the entry control light 21 is turned on so as to indicate entry permission. Note that the entry / exit door 4 may be opened by the user pressing the door open button.

  After confirming these, the user puts the vehicle into the passenger compartment 7 (CS101). When the entry of the vehicle into the entry / exit room 7 is completed (CS102), the user gets off the vehicle and moves to the front of the operation panel 22, performs safety confirmation (unmanned confirmation) in the entry / exit room 7, and presses the safety confirmation button. (PS105). Then, an image prompting to close the door 4 is displayed on the operation panel 22 or the like, and when the door close button is pressed by the user (PS106), the door 4 is closed.

  Then, when the entrance / exit door 4 is closed (or when the door close button is pressed), the mechanical parking device 10 transmits a prohibition signal to the vehicle (PS107). Upon receiving the prohibition signal, the vehicle sets the vehicle in an operation prohibition state (CS103).

  On the mechanical parking device 10 side, after transmitting the prohibition signal to the vehicle, the vehicle is transported from the passenger compartment 7 to the hangar 3 (PS108). Note that the mechanical parking device 10 may start the conveyance after a lapse of a predetermined time from the transmission of the prohibition signal to the vehicle in order to more reliably start the conveyance after the operation of the vehicle is prohibited. Good.

  Next, a process at the time of leaving the warehouse in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7, the processing in the vehicle is shown on the left, and the processing in the mechanical parking device 10 is shown on the right.

  First, in the mechanical parking device 10, a leaving reservation is made by accepting an input of a user's authentication number or the like to the operation panel 22 (PS111). Upon accepting the leaving reservation, user authentication for collating the input authentication number with the user DB is performed, and the storage shelf 17 on which the vehicle is placed is determined (PS112).

  Then, in the mechanical parking device 10, the parking is started, and the pallet 18 on which the vehicle is placed is transported to the passenger compartment 7 (PS113). During this time, the waiting time during which the pallet 18 arrives at the boarding room 7 may be notified together with the user number indicating the current user.

  When the pallet 18 on which the vehicle is mounted arrives in the passenger compartment 7, the mechanical parking device 10 opens the entry / exit door 4. Note that the entry / exit door 4 may be opened by the user pressing the door open button.

  Then, when the entrance / exit door 4 is opened (or when the door open button is pressed), the mechanical parking device 10 transmits a release signal to the vehicle (PS114). Upon receiving the release signal, the vehicle releases the operation inhibition state of the vehicle (CS111). The user may be notified that the operation prohibition state of the vehicle has been released.

  After the operation prohibition state of the vehicle is released, the user moves the vehicle in and out of the passenger compartment 7.
