DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an unmanned parking lot device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a plurality of parking lots which are unmanned parking lots and have a parking space for one vehicle,
A flap installed on a wheel contact surface of each parking lot and for ascending to prevent the vehicle from exiting when the vehicle enters the parking lot, and a toll payment machine; Unmanned parking systems have been widely used, in which when a predetermined parking fee is paid to the machine, the raised flaps are lowered and the vehicle can exit.

[0003]

In this type of unmanned parking system, for example, there is a case where a vehicle is forcibly exited by forcibly overcoming a rising flap without paying a fee. In such a case, the flap remains in the raised state even though the parking lot is empty, which may hinder the next parking attempt.

In such a case, the parking lot cannot be used until a maintenance person goes to the unmanned parking lot device and repairs it, causing inconvenience to the user and loss of the parking lot manager. Was coming.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem. According to a first aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is installed in each parking lot and a vehicle is parked in the parking lot. A vehicle detector for detecting whether or not the vehicle has left the parking lot, and a leaving detector for detecting whether or not the vehicle has left the parking lot, and detecting whether or not the flap has been lowered. If the flap detector and the flap detector do not detect that the flap has been lowered, the vehicle detector of the parking lot with the flap detects that the vehicle is not parked, and the exit detector detects the vehicle. Flap activating means for lowering the flap in response to detecting that the vehicle has left the vehicle.

In the second invention, a vehicle detector is installed in each parking lot and detects whether or not a vehicle is parked in the parking lot. An exit detector that detects that the vehicle has exited from the parking lot device, a flap detector that is installed in each parking lot and detects whether the flap of the parking lot has descended, and the flap detector that the flap has descended When the vehicle is not detected, the vehicle detector of the parking lot with the flap detects that the vehicle is not parked, and the exit detector detects that the vehicle has exited from the unmanned parking lot device. And a flap activation means for lowering the flap in response thereto.

FIG. 4 also shows the fourth embodiment of the unmanned parking lot according to the present invention. In this case, 5
The detector indicated by 2 is an entry detector that detects that the vehicle is about to enter, instead of detecting the exit of the vehicle. Also, in this unmanned parking lot device, the flap activation means (not shown) is used when the flap detector does not detect that the flap is not lowered, and the vehicle detector of the parking lot with the flap is In response to detecting that the vehicle is not parked and detecting that the approach detector is approaching the vehicle, the flap is lowered to allow the vehicle to enter. I have.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the unmanned parking lot apparatus according to the fifth invention. This unmanned parking lot device is almost the same as that shown in FIG. 3, but is different from that shown in FIG. 3, and a leaving detector 30 for detecting the leaving of the vehicle.
Is not provided. That is, in this unmanned parking lot device, a vehicle detector 18 installed in each parking lot and detecting whether a vehicle is parked in the parking lot, and a vehicle detector 18 installed in each parking lot and a flap lowered A flap detector (not shown) for detecting whether or not the vehicle is parked in the parking lot. However, when the flap detector of the same parking lot detects that the flap has not been lowered, the fee has been paid to the toll payment machine 40 for leaving the vehicle from another parking lot. In response, the flap is lowered to allow the vehicle to enter.

FIG. 6 shows the sixth embodiment of the unmanned parking lot according to the present invention. This unmanned parking lot device is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 4, but is different from the one shown in FIG. 4, and a leaving detector 52 for detecting the leaving of the vehicle.
Is not provided. That is, the unmanned parking lot device is installed in each parking lot 10, and a vehicle detector 18 that detects whether a vehicle is parked in the parking lot, and is installed in each parking lot, and the flap is lowered. A flap detector (not shown) for detecting whether or not the vehicle is not parked in the parking lot. If the parking lot's flap detector detects that the flap has not been lowered, the parking lot's vehicle detector detects that parking has been performed. 18, the flap is lowered to allow the vehicle to enter.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the unmanned parking lot apparatus according to the seventh aspect of the present invention. That is, the unmanned parking lot device is installed in each parking lot 10, and a vehicle detector 18 that detects whether a vehicle is parked in the parking lot, and is installed in each parking lot, and the flap is lowered. A flap detector (not shown) for detecting whether or not the vehicle is not parked in the parking lot. If the flap detector of the same parking lot detects that the flap has not been lowered, the vehicle detector of the same parking lot detects that the vehicle has left the other parking lot. Based on the detection, the flap is lowered to allow the vehicle to enter.

[0022]

The unmanned parking lot device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration. For example, even if the flap of the parking lot is raised due to the illegal exit of the vehicle, maintenance is required for that purpose. Needless to say, the flap activating means is activated in conjunction with the operation of various detectors of the parking lot apparatus, and the flap can be automatically lowered. For this reason, it is easy to use for both the parking lot user and the manager, and the initial purpose can be achieved.
