If it does in this way, even if it is at the time of a power failure, a vehicle can be delivered and a vehicle can be received.

The power receiving step is executed when the power consumption of the motor is about to exceed a predetermined power during the warehousing step or the leaving step.
For example, when the output of the wattmeter 22 reaches a predetermined value, a power reception process is performed so that the output of the wattmeter 22 does not exceed the predetermined value.
For example, the predetermined value is electric power when the parking mechanism 30 moves the vehicle at a constant speed.
The power received by the electric vehicle parked in the parking space via the power circuit is received and supplied to the power supply device.
In this way, no peak increase in power consumption occurs when the parking mechanism 30 accelerates the vehicle.

The parking apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention has the following effects by the structure.
The electric motor 31 is operated by electric power supplied from the power supply device 20 and is driven by the electric motor 31 to move the vehicle between the entry / exit space 33 and the parking space 32 of the parking device 30 and park the vehicle in the parking space 32. Since the electric vehicle 10 that the control device 40 parks in the parking space 32 through the power circuit 50 receives the power output from the battery 11 via the power circuit 50 and can supply power to the power supply device 20, The electric motor can be operated by the electric power output from the parked electric vehicle 10 to drive the parking mechanism 30 and store the vehicle.
Further, when the battery is a storage battery, the electric motor 10 is operated by the electric power stored in the electric vehicle 10 parked in the parking space 32, and the parking mechanism 30 is driven so that the vehicle can be stored / extracted.
In addition, when the electric power consumption of the electric motor 31 is about to exceed a predetermined electric power, the electric power output from the electric vehicle 10 parked in the parking space 32 is supplied to the power source device 20, so Less power consumption.
In addition, when the electric motor 31 moves the vehicle at a constant speed, the predetermined electric power is set as the electric power consumption. When the electric power consumption of the electric motor 31 tries to exceed the predetermined electric power, the electric vehicle 10 parked in the parking space 32 is set. Since the power output from the power supply device 20 is supplied to the power supply device 20, the peak power consumption of the commercial power supply can be kept low.
Moreover, since the commercial electric power that supplies power to the power supply device 20 at the time of a power failure supplies power to the power supply device 20 that is output from the electric vehicle 10 parked in the parking space 32, the vehicle should be stored in and out even during a power failure. Can do.
In addition, since the electric power output from the battery built in the electric vehicle 10 can be supplied to the outside via the electric connector receiver 13, the parking mechanism can use the electric power output from the battery.
Further, when the battery is a storage battery, the parking mechanism can use the power stored in the battery.

The electric vehicle according to the present invention has the following effects due to its configuration.
Since the electric power output from the battery 11 built in the electric vehicle 10 can be supplied to the outside via the electric connector receiver 13, the electric power output from the battery can be used by an external device.
Moreover, when the battery 11 is a storage battery, the electric power which an external apparatus stores the battery can be utilized.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
We explained that there are merry-go-round parking mechanism, elevator parking mechanism, elevator / slide parking mechanism, plane reciprocating parking mechanism, transport storage parking mechanism, two-stage / multi-stage parking mechanism as the types of parking mechanism. However, the present invention is not limited to these.
