TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an unmanned parking lot device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A plurality of parking lots are provided, and each parking lot is provided with a car stop flap on a grounding surface of a wheel. Unless it is done, many unmanned parking lots are installed to prevent the car from leaving.

In this type of unmanned parking lot apparatus, it may not be appropriate to operate the flaps and the settlement means immediately when the vehicle enters the parking lot. That is, for example, there is a case in which even if the vehicle is once stored, it is attempted to stop at an appropriate position in the parking lot, the vehicle is moved, or the parking is stopped and the vehicle is tried to leave. In such a case, it is not appropriate to actuate the flap for stopping the car or the adjustment device immediately after the goods are stored. For this reason, recently, a vehicle has been developed in which a flap or a settlement means is activated after a predetermined time has elapsed after a vehicle has been stored in a parking lot. However, for example, when a beginner driver tries to park in a parking lot, it may take time to stop the vehicle at an appropriate position, compared to a case where a familiar person does it. For example, if the flap is started up, the raised flap comes into contact with the vehicle, and the vehicle, the flap, or
There is a risk that both will be damaged.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate such a problem.

[0005]

That is, the present invention is provided on a wheel grounding surface in a parking lot , and
From the parking lot
And a detector that detects that the operation of the engine of the vehicle that has entered the parking lot is stopped, and the vehicle stop means is based on the detector detecting that the engine has stopped. Car rising from the ground plane
Provided is an unmanned parking lot device, which is characterized in that both garages are blocked .

That is, it can be considered that the person who has parked the vehicle in the parking lot stops the engine when the vehicle is parked with the vehicle stopped at an appropriate position. The operation of the parking lot management means such as the flap is in line with the intention of the user of the parking lot, and the above problems can be avoided.

[0007] Specifically, the detector performs the detection based on the engine sound of the stored vehicle, the electromagnetic waves generated by the engine, the temperature change of the stored vehicle caused by the stop of the engine of the stored vehicle, and the like. You can do it. It is also possible to use a CCD camera to capture the vibration of the engine of the vehicle that has been stored as an image and perform the detection based on the image.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

As mentioned above, the present invention relates to a parking lot device having a plurality of parking lots P, and FIG. 1 shows such a parking lot device. Each parking lot P is provided with vehicle stopping means, that is, a flap device 16 that moves up and down on the wheel contact surface to prevent the entering vehicle from leaving the parking lot. In addition, each parking lot P is provided with a settlement device 18, and when the user pays the usage fee, the flaps are lowered and the user can leave the warehouse.

Further, a detector 20 for detecting the engine state of a parked car is provided on the wheel contact surface of each parking lot P. The detector 20 is designed to detect the engine sound of a vehicle that has entered and the electromagnetic waves emitted from the operating engine. When the operation of the engine is stopped, that is, the engine sound and electromagnetic waves disappear. When the vehicle is stored, it is determined that the vehicle has been stored and the vehicle is to be parked. If the detector detects electromagnetic waves and engine sounds, etc., peculiar to the engine of the parked vehicle, it will detect the operation of the engine of the vehicle in the adjacent parking lot and prevent malfunction. can do. Further, the detector may be one that detects the temperature of the vehicle body. That is, it is also possible to sense the temperature of the stored vehicle body, particularly near the engine, and to confirm the completion of the vehicle storage based on the temperature change when the engine stops operating. . Also CCD
It is also possible to use a camera or the like to capture the vibration of the vehicle body due to the operation of the engine of the stored vehicle as an image and thereby detect the stop of the engine.

In this apparatus, when the detector 20 detects the engine stop of the parked car, the parking lot management means installed in the parking lot, such as the flap device 16 and the settlement device 18, is started based on the detection.
Required management functions such as starting the flap device and starting the settlement time of the settlement device are performed.

When the user wants to leave the garage, the flap device 1 can be operated by paying the parking fee at the payment device.
6 is lowered to the ground contact surface so that it can be delivered. In this case, it is also possible to enable the leaving when the above-mentioned settlement is performed and the detector 20 detects the operation of the engine started for the leaving. The settlement machine 18 may collectively manage a plurality of parking lots P.

[0013]

The unmanned parking lot device according to the present invention is as described above, and the vehicle that has entered the parking lot for parking is stopped at an appropriate position, and the engine is operated by the user with the intention of parking. Since the parking lot management means such as the flap device and the settlement device is started at the time of stopping the operation, it is possible to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional device and obtain an effect such as an appropriate charge calculation.
