Description

  The present invention relates to a control device and a control method for a multilevel parking facility. More specifically, the present invention relates to a control device and a control method including controlling audio broadcasting performed to assist smooth entry / exit work in a multilevel parking facility.

  In recent years, multi-story parking facilities are often added to the premises of apartment buildings (apartments) or incorporated into buildings to adopt a contract usage method with condominium residents. Along with this, a parking facility management system that is adapted to the lifestyle of the contractor (for example, going to work at night, returning home late at night, returning home early in the morning, etc.) has been increasingly adopted. That is, the user can drive and operate the parking facility all day long. However, this all day operation management method involves night operation, and may cause unexpected new noise problems as described below.

  Generally, the multilevel parking facility has at least one entrance / exit, and the entrance / exit is provided with a door that can be opened when a vehicle enters and exits. In addition, a driving operation panel is installed outside the entrance / exit, and a manager of the parking facility or the user himself performs each operation for entering / exiting with the driving operation panel. Specifically, an empty pallet without a vehicle or a pallet with a target vehicle (referred to as an actual pallet) is called, or a door closing operation after completion of loading and unloading is performed. On the other hand, a plurality of detectors for detecting people and vehicles entering and exiting are provided in the entry / exit room. Based on the detection results of these detectors, vehicle and user guidance, guidance, and caution are provided by entry / exit guidance including voice broadcasting, message display, lamp lighting display, etc. installed in the entry / exit (for example, (See Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

  As for the mechanical parking device itself, various measures for reducing the sound are taken such as slowing the moving speed of the transfer device such as the elevator at night (for example, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5). See). As a result, various environmental standards including noise corresponding to the surrounding environment are cleared and installation approval is obtained. In the first place, the machine drive of the parking device (for example, raising and lowering the elevator platform, transferring the pallet, turning the turning device, etc.) is performed only for safety reasons unless the door of the entrance / exit is closed. ing. Thus, since the device is not driven when the door of the entrance / exit is open, it is unlikely that the mechanical drive sound leaks from the entrance / exit to the outside.

  However, when entering / exiting, users and vehicles enter / exit after opening the door of the entrance / exit, so guidance, guidance, and caution broadcasting at the time of entrance / exit inevitably have the door of the entrance / exit opened. Will be done. At this time, the voice guidance broadcast including the chime leaks to the outside from the open / close entrance. Although it is not a problem during the daytime when the background noise is high, it may affect the lives of the surrounding residents depending on the volume of the chimes and voices and the frequency of broadcasts in the quiet time zone (remarkably low background noise) at night. There is. On the other hand, messages that are important for safety in parking facilities must be reliably transmitted to users.

If such a problem is the above-mentioned machine-driven parking equipment (mechanical parking equipment), the elevator-type parking equipment, the vertical circulation parking equipment, the horizontal circulation parking equipment, the box-type circulation parking equipment, the circular circulation type This can happen in parking facilities, plane reciprocating parking facilities, and the like.

On the lower surface of the elevator 3, there is provided a turning transfer mechanism 20 having both a turning function for lifting and turning the pallet 5 and a transfer function for transferring the pallet 5 to and from the parking shelf 6.

  As will be apparent when referring also to FIGS. 2 and 3, on the outer surface of the parking tower 2 in the vicinity of the entrance / exit 12, the operation panel of the parking device for the user and the manager to perform each entry / exit operation. 13 is installed. That is, it is an operation panel for calling an empty pallet or a pallet (referred to as an actual pallet) on which a target vehicle is mounted, or for closing the door 12a of the loading / unloading port 12 after loading / unloading is completed.

  The entrance / exit room 7 is provided with a vehicle height restriction plate 14 for restricting the vehicle height of vehicles that can be entered. The vehicle height restriction plate 14 is suspended from an upper part in the vicinity of the entrance / exit 12 in the entrance / exit chamber 7 so as to be swingable. And when the ceiling part of the vehicle which is going to enter collides, it rocks to the back side, and detects that the vehicle more than a limit vehicle height has received by it.

  In the entrance / exit room 7, a plurality of photoelectric sensors PH1 to PH6 for detecting people and vehicles entering and exiting are disposed. The detection light projected from the sensor is reflected by a person or vehicle, and the person or vehicle is detected by receiving the reflected light by the same sensor. A first sensor PH1 that detects vehicles and people passing through the entrance / exit 12 and a second sensor PH2 that detects the protrusion of the rear part of the vehicle that has entered the pallet 5, and detects whether or not the entering vehicle is on the pallet. The third sensor PH3, the fourth sensor PH4 for detecting the protrusion of the front part of the vehicle that has entered the pallet 5, the fifth sensor PH5 for detecting the protrusion of the left and right side parts of the vehicle that has entered the pallet 5, and A sixth sensor PH6 is provided.

  At the back of the entrance / exit 12, a mirror 15 is installed for the driver of the vehicle entering the pallet 5 to check the state of entry and the position of the vehicle on the pallet 5. Similarly, a warehousing guide lamp 16 is provided in the back of the warehousing / exiting port 12 for guiding, guiding, and cautioning the vehicle and the user entering the garage by displaying characters. For example, the warehousing guide lamp 16 instructs the vehicle that has entered the garage by lighting and displaying forward, backward, stop, and the like in order to guide the vehicle to an appropriate stop position on the pallet 5. Furthermore, a control device 18 for controlling the operation of the parking facility 1 is installed in the loading / unloading room 12. The control device 18 controls the broadcasting device 17 and the warehousing guide lamp 16 for performing various guidance, guidance, and cautions by means of synthesized speech or the like. The broadcasting device 17 is provided with a speaker 19 for voice transmission.

  FIG. 4 shows the driving operation panel 13 and the control device 18 connected thereto, and further shows a block diagram of control of driving and broadcasting of the parking facility 1 by these 13 and 18. Yes. As the control device 18, only the part related to the control of the audio broadcast (audio broadcast control unit) is shown. The operation panel 13 is provided with various operation buttons 21 such as an empty pallet call button, a safety confirmation button, a contractor's PIN input button, an operation start button, an operation end and door all day button, and an operation cancel button. . The predetermined button is provided with a lamp 21a for displaying the pressing state. Further, a display unit 23 is provided for displaying the current number of empty pallets, the number of actual pallets, the waiting time, and the like, and displaying the number and calling number of the corresponding loading / unloading unit by operating the numeric keypad 22. . In addition to the above items, various messages are displayed on the display unit 23 as necessary. An emergency stop button 24 for ensuring safety is also provided.

  The control device 18 connected to the driving operation panel 13 drives the elevator 3 to move up and down, lifts the pallet 5 in the loading / unloading chamber 7, and turns the turntable. Control of a drive part including the pallet 5 transfer drive between the parking shelves 6 and the door opening / closing drive of the entrance / exit 12 is performed. Furthermore, the detection of vehicles and people at the pallet entry part and the entrance / exit by the sensors PH1 to PH6 described above, the detection of the vehicle at the elevator hoistway 4 (not shown), and the vehicle height limit plate 14 and above the allowable vehicle height. Control of the detection unit including vehicle detection and the like is performed. As described above, in response to the operation by the driving operation panel 13 and the detection results by the sensors PH1 to PH6 and the vehicle height restriction plate 14, guidance, guidance, and attention are given to the user by broadcasting and / or display. . Further, the control device 18 controls the warehousing guide lamp 16 and the broadcasting device 17 that perform such guidance, guidance, and attention.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a broadcast content / volume mode table (hereinafter referred to as a volume mode table) 25 in which a volume is assigned to each broadcast content, a guide lamp display content table 26, and mode switching for each weekday and holiday. The time is stored in the RAM 27 of the control device 18.

  Hereinafter, an example of the control of the warehousing guide lamp 16 and the broadcasting device 17 by the control device 18 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, the volume mode table 25 is assigned with different volumes depending on the contents of each broadcast. The volume mode includes a plurality of modes having different volumes even for the same broadcast content. As an example, as described later, a “volume suppression mode (hereinafter simply referred to as suppression mode)” and a “volume normal mode (hereinafter simply referred to as normal mode)” are included. Further, the control device 18 stores a calendar, and is provided with a calendar / clock means 28 described later for specifying the current time and the current date / day of the week.

  Also, a plurality of types of broadcast contents and guide lamp display contents are prepared corresponding to the operation of the driving operation panel 13 at the time of entering and leaving, and the detection results by the sensors PH1 to PH6 and the vehicle height restriction plate 14, respectively. . In other words, in order to perform smooth and safe driving of the parking device at each stage at the time of entering and leaving, the guidance types of “attention guidance”, “guidance guidance”, “stop guidance”, and “operation guidance” are given to the user. The corresponding contents are prepared (see FIG. 5).

  As an example of the guide guidance in FIG. 5, when the fourth sensor PH4 detects that the incoming vehicle has entered the pallet and protrudes forward from the appropriate stop position, first, the ping-pong pampong, ping-pong, etc. A chime sound is broadcasted, and then, for example, a synthetic voice broadcast is made saying "The car is sticking out. Please move it a little later." At the same time, “retreat” is displayed on the warehousing guide lamp 16. When it is detected by the predetermined sensors PH2 to PH6 that the vehicle has reached an appropriate stop position, a message “stop” is displayed on the warehousing guide lamp 16, and a chime sound is broadcast at the same time. Make sure to pull the brake and fold the door mirror, and lower the antenna and close the car doors and rear doors as well. .

  As described above, the volume mode table 25 in which an appropriate volume level is associated with each broadcast content is stored in the RAM 27 of the control device 18. For the broadcast contents, “suppression mode” and “normal mode” are set according to the necessity. The RAM 27 also stores the time for switching between “suppression” and “normal” in the volume mode for each weekday and holiday. That is, as shown in the time table of FIG. 6, the volume mode in the present embodiment is set to “suppression mode” and “normal mode” depending on the time period, assuming a life model of people on weekdays and holidays. The range is different. The "suppression mode" and the "normal mode" are automatically switched according to the current day of the week (weekday / holiday) and time specified by the calendar / clock means 28. Then, the broadcast during the loading / unloading operation is executed in the set volume mode.

  Set to “Suppressed Mode” at night, late at night, and early morning, which is the average bedtime, and set to “Normal Mode” at morning, noon, and evening, which are the average activity hours such as commuting, attending school, and work. ing. In general, there is a slightly different setting time zone for each volume mode between suppression and normal on weekday mornings and on holiday mornings. It depends on what you are doing. As holidays in this embodiment, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are applicable, but these may be changed as necessary.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the “suppression mode” is a mode in which a “low volume level” with a low volume and a “normal volume level” with a relatively high volume are appropriately set according to the broadcast content. The “normal mode” is set with “normal volume level” for all broadcast contents. In the present embodiment, even in the “suppression mode”, the “normal volume level” is set when the guidance guidance is given to the driver who wants to pay particular attention to the driver of the entering vehicle (the guidance guidance in the table of FIG. 5). “Low volume level” is set for items of low importance (see A, B, and E of warehousing) (see C and D of warehousing of guidance guidance in the table of FIG. 5).

  Thus, in the “suppression mode”, there are two types of “low volume level” and “normal volume level”, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, three or more types of volume levels may be set. In addition, for extremely low-priced guidance such as excessive service content, such as “please go out in safe driving” at the time of delivery, “mute” may be set in the “suppression mode”. For the “normal mode”, two or more kinds of volume levels may be set.

  In the present embodiment, the speaker 19 of the broadcasting device 17 is provided only in the entrance / exit room 7, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the operation panel 13 outside the entrance / exit room 7 may be provided. In this embodiment, a chime and a synthesized voice message are broadcast, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to employ recording of a real voice instead of the synthesized voice. Further, various volume modes can be assigned to the key touch sound of the driving operation panel 13 as in the case of the chime or the synthesized voice message. In general, a touch sound is intentionally generated so that the operator can hear and confirm that the key is touched. However, in the middle of the night when the background noise is very low, this key touch sound may be harshing depending on the residents in the vicinity. Therefore, as described above, the “suppression mode” may be set according to the time zone.

  The embodiment described above is a three-dimensional parking facility provided in an apartment building with a condominium resident as a parking contractor, and the morning volume mode switching time is changed between weekdays and holidays according to the living pattern of the condominium residents. However, the configuration is not limited. For example, the volume mode switching time may be the same for weekdays and holidays. In this case, the control device 18 does not need a calendar means, and only a clock means is required. Further, in apartments with many young households and apartments with many elderly people, there is a case where the time for taking a nap is approximately 15:00 to 15:00. Therefore, this nap time zone may also be set to the “suppression mode”. Furthermore, it can be changed and set as appropriate by adjusting the parking contractor and the surrounding residents.

  In addition, the time zone of the “suppression mode” and the “normal mode” can be set variously according to the installation environment (for example, commercial facility, bank, etc.) of the multi-story parking facility 1 and the target user. . For example, a multilevel parking facility attached to a supermarket is intended for use by an unspecified number of people, and a resident parking lot manager generally operates a parking device. For example, when the operation time zone is 9:00 to 21:00, in consideration of the fact that a general store will normally close at 19:00, the neighborhood residents are also considered, and the time is 19:00 to 21. 0:00 may be set as the specific time zone of the “suppression mode”.

  In the embodiment described above, the volume mode switching time is stored in the RAM 27. However, in addition to or instead of this, a suppression mode button (not shown) may be provided on the operation control panel 13. In this case, for example, a user who has an understanding of noise environment problems, is familiar with entry / exit operations, and can perform safe and smooth entry / exit operations without careful guidance, Subsequent to the input of the password and the pressing operation of the start button, the suppression mode button is independently pressed and executed in the suppression mode only in the entry / exit even in the “normal mode” time zone. It becomes possible.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a procedure for selecting the volume mode set as described above. That is, when the control device accepts an entry / exit request from the operation control panel, (1) First, the calendar means determines whether the day is a weekday or a holiday. (2) If it is a weekday, it is determined whether or not the current time specified by the clock means is the time zone of the suppression mode shown in the time table of FIG. (3) The weekday speech suppression mode is selected in the suppression mode time zone. (4) If it is not the time zone of the suppression mode, it is determined that it is the time zone of the normal mode, and the normal voice mode is selected on weekdays. (5) In the above (1), if today is not a weekday, it is determined that it is a holiday, and it is determined whether or not the current time specified by the clock means is the time zone of the suppression mode shown in the time table of FIG. The (6) The holiday voice suppression mode is selected in the suppression mode time zone. (7) If it is not the time zone of the suppression mode, it is determined that it is the time zone of the normal mode, and the normal voice mode of holiday is selected. The guidance broadcast is performed in the volume mode selected in this way. This volume mode selection procedure is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the operation of the parking apparatus with the warehousing operation to the parking facility 1 and the corresponding guidance broadcast will be described.
