る。2. Description of the Related Art As a multi-storey parking lot, front wheels and rear wheels are placed on a conveyor device such as a belt conveyor or a slat conveyor to carry a vehicle in and out, transport a vehicle in a parking lot, and deliver it to a hangar. There is something like this.
【０００３】そして、このような搬送装置により車両を

ックしていた。When a vehicle is transported by such a transporting device, in order to avoid interference with the drive unit of the transporting device itself or an accessory device thereof (for example, a pantograph type protector for preventing the door from opening). The minimum height of the vehicle body (hereinafter referred to as the minimum vehicle height) is limited, and therefore, a vehicle having a minimum vehicle height lower than this limitation cannot be stored. For this reason, one set of photoelectric switches is provided on the entry side of the multi-storey parking lot to check the minimum vehicle height of the entering vehicle.

I can't work.

０６０１４号公報参照）。Therefore, as a means for dealing with this problem,
As shown in FIG. 6, three sets of photoelectric switches 51 to 53 are arranged on the side of the vehicle passage, and these photoelectric switches 51 to 53 are arranged in a vertical plane along the passage so that the bottom side is along the passage surface. There is proposed a minimum vehicle height determination device arranged so as to correspond to each vertex of a simple triangle (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-3
No. 60014).

ている。In this determination device, the two pairs of photoelectric switches 51 and 52 at the front and rear are arranged at positions where only the wheel 61 slightly above the ground can be detected.
Regarding the photoelectric switch 53 in the central portion, the minimum vehicle height that does not hinder the transportation (movement) in the multi-story parking lot, that is, the vehicle body 6
The bottom surface of 2 is arranged at such a height that it does not come into contact with other members.

On the other hand, if the central photoelectric switch 53 is shielded and at least one of the front and rear portions, for example, the rear photoelectric switch 52 is shielded, the wheel 61 is detected. Therefore, the vehicle body 62 and the wheels 61 can be distinguished from each other.

た。That is, in order to detect the wheels, it is necessary that the front or rear photoelectric switches 51 and 52 are also shielded from light when the central photoelectric switch 53 is shielded. Therefore, the front (or rear) photoelectric switch 51 (52) and the central photoelectric switch 5
The distance from 3 corresponds to the diameter of the wheel. Therefore, the distance is usually set so that wheels such as ordinary cars and light cars, which have a large number of vehicles, can be detected. However, among light cars, if the wheel has a smaller diameter, the front or rear photoelectric switch is used. 51, 52 and central photoelectric switch 5
Since the switches 3 and 3 are not shielded at the same time, the object to be detected may be erroneously detected as the vehicle body instead of the wheel.
【００１０】そこで、本発明は、車輪の径が大小いずれ

When a vehicle 3 having a sufficiently high minimum vehicle height and a diameter of the wheel 5 within a predetermined range (for example, a size used for an ordinary passenger car, an ordinary light vehicle, etc.) enters the approach passage 2, The vehicle body 4 passes through without being shielded by the first and second photoelectric switches 11 to 14, but at the front wheel 5,
First, the rear photoelectric switch 13 is shielded from light and is turned on, and then the central photoelectric switch 12 and the second photoelectric switch 14 are shielded from light and both are turned on. At this time, the front photoelectric switch 11 is in an off state in which light is transmitted.

It can be seen that the minimum vehicle height of is higher than the allowable height. By the way, in the case of a vehicle in which the diameter of the wheel 5 is considerably smaller than usual despite the minimum vehicle height being high (for example, a light vehicle having a smaller wheel diameter), when the wheel 5 passes through,
Rear photoelectric switch 13 (or front photoelectric switch 11)
The second photoelectric switch 14 and the second photoelectric switch 14 are not turned on at the same time, but since the central photoelectric switch 12 is arranged below the second photoelectric switch 14, both photoelectric switches 14 and 12 are turned on at this portion. As a result, the vehicle body 4 is prevented from being erroneously detected even if the diameter of the wheel 5 is small.

At this time, all the first photoelectric switches 11 to 13 are in an off state in which light is transmitted.

As described above, according to the above-described minimum vehicle height determination device and the determination method thereof, it is possible to automatically determine whether or not the minimum vehicle height is equal to or lower than the allowable height when the vehicle is traveling, and In addition to the front and rear position below the second photoelectric switch 14 for detection, the central photoelectric switch 12 for wheel detection is arranged at a predetermined height position directly below the second photoelectric switch 14, so that the diameter of the wheel is small. However, it is possible to detect that with certainty.
