  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, parts that are the same as or equivalent to those of the prior art are assigned the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  The basic structure of the elevating type multi-level parking apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes the conventional elevating type multi-level parking apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 4 as one block, and two blocks 10A and 10B. It is arranged adjacent to the left and right. Each block 10A, 10B is provided with three rows of pallet lifting bodies 16, and a battery charging stand 24 is installed on the uppermost pallet 12 of each pallet lifting body 16. As shown in FIG. 4, each battery charging stand 24 is provided with a stand door 24a and an open / close detection switch 24c.

In addition, a break contact 46 linked to the opening operation of the stand door of the battery charging stand of the pallet lifting body of another adjacent block is a driving circuit 44 of the driving electric motor 42 of the lifting mechanism of the pallet lifting body of the same block. It has an interlock that is arranged inside. The open / close detection switch 24c is interlocked with the break contact 46 and outputs an open / close signal to the outlet energization control unit 32 of the charge control unit 28 described later.
For convenience of explanation, FIG. 1 shows only the drive circuit 46 related to the pallet lifting bodies 163 and 161 of the adjacent blocks 10A and 10B immediately adjacent to each other. Further, constituent elements related to the block 10A are denoted by reference numerals 42A, 44A, and 46A, and constituent elements related to the block 10B are denoted by reference numerals 42B, 44B, and 46B, respectively.

  The open / close detection switch 24c is an open / close detection switch for the stand door 24a of a pallet lifting body (eg 161) in another block (eg 10B) immediately adjacent to the pallet lifting body (eg 163) in the same block (eg 10A). The interlock which stops the operation | movement of a raising / lowering mechanism in response to the open state detected by 24c (refer FIG. 4) is comprised. This interlock is a stand of a pallet lifting / lowering body (for example, 161) of another block (for example, 10B) adjacent to a pallet lifting / lowering body (for example, 163) of the same block (for example, 10A) without using the lifting control unit 30 described later. In conjunction with the opening operation of the door 24a, the operation of the lifting mechanism of the same block (for example, 10A) is stopped.

Further, each block 10A, 10B is provided with a lifting control unit 30 shown in FIG. The lift control unit 30 receives the signal indicating the open state of the pallet lift body 16 included in the same block, which is detected by the open / close detection switch 24c (see FIG. 4) of the stand door 24a of the battery charging stand 24, and the same. The operation of the lifting mechanism of the block is stopped.
The elevating control unit 30 constitutes the cooperation control unit 26 together with the charging control unit 28. In the cooperation control means 26, both the charging control unit 28 and the elevation control unit 30 take in the other party's situation and perform operation control.

The charging control unit 28 includes an outlet energization control unit 32 of the battery charging stand, and appropriately sends a stand door opening / closing signal, a breaker trip signal, or a CP (circuit protector) trip signal of the battery charging stand to the elevation control unit 30. The apparatus operation control unit 36, the operation processing control unit 38, and the abnormal signal output control unit 40 are provided with a signal output means 34 for output.
On the other hand, the elevation control unit 30 includes a device operation control unit 36, an operation processing control unit 38, and an abnormal signal output control unit 40, and includes a device fixed position signal, a power ON / OFF signal, a device operating signal, and a device abnormal signal. And a signal output means for outputting a manual operation signal to the outlet energization control unit 32 of the charging control unit 28.

  In addition, about the structure of the charge control part 28 and the raising / lowering control part 30, it is suitably comprised by electronic calculators, such as a microcomputer, a relay circuit, etc. Further, the charging control unit 28 may be provided in the control panel 20 shown in FIG. 4, and the elevation control unit 30 may be provided in the battery charging stand shown in FIG. 4, and may be configured as the same control panel (controller) as appropriate. However, in particular, when the battery charging stand 24 is retrofitted to the existing elevating type multilevel parking apparatus 10, it is easy to adopt the former configuration.

  Hereinafter, a control procedure according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Again, please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 as appropriate. First, FIG. 3A illustrates, as an example, a case where the battery charging stand 24 of the pallet lifting body 16 is operated in the same block 10A when only the block 10A of FIG. 1 is operated.

S100: The driving operation related to the block 10A is started by the operator H. Although not described in detail, the power key can be turned ON / OFF by inserting a dedicated key into the operation panel 20 shown in FIG. 4 and rotating it.
S110: In S100, when the power key is ON, the apparatus processing control unit 38 of the elevating control unit 30 causes the pallet (pallet elevating body 16 to have a fixed position other than the same pallet for driving operation in the same block 10A. ) Is monitored. This monitoring can be obtained by various sensors for detecting the position of the pallet lifting body 16 or a relay switch. However, when the operation history of the pallet lifting body 16 is grasped, it can also be obtained from that. . And when there exists a pallet which is not a fixed position (Y), since operation of the pallet raising / lowering body 16 has already been performed, it transfers to S140, without accepting new driving | operation operation.

S120: In S110, when there is no pallet that is not in the fixed position in the same block 10A (N), the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is opened in the same block 10A by the apparatus processing control unit 38 of the lifting control unit 30. Monitor whether there is a pallet that is open. This monitoring is grasped in the outlet energization control unit 32 of the charging control unit 28 based on the open / close detection switch 24c (see FIG. 4) of the stand door 24a and other open / close sensors, and a signal indicating that the stand door detection signal is present is a signal. This is performed by outputting from the output means 34 to the apparatus operation control unit 36 and the operation processing control unit 38 of the elevation control unit 30.
When there is a pallet in which the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is open in the same block 10A (Y), that is, by the operator H ′, the stand 22a of the charging stand 24 of the pallet lifting body 163 causes the vehicle 22 If the charging operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S140.
S130: In S120, when there is no pallet in which the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is open in the same block (N), it is assumed that there is no factor that hinders the lifting operation of the pallet lifting body 16 in the same block. The specified pallet lifting body 16 is moved up and down by the apparatus operation control unit 36 of the lifting control unit 30.
S140: Since there is a factor that hinders the lifting operation of the pallet lifting body 16 in the same block 10A, the operation is disabled, and the device operation control unit 36 of the lifting control unit 30 does not perform the lifting operation of the pallet lifting body 16.

On the other hand, FIG. 3B shows a case where both the blocks 10A and 10B in FIG. 1 are operated. As an example, the battery charging of the pallet lifting body 16 of another block 10A immediately adjacent to the pallet lifting body 10B of the same block is performed. The case where the stand 24 for operation is operated is shown.

S200: The operator H ″ starts a driving operation related to the pallet lifting body 161 of the block 10B. The operation procedure is the same as that of S100 described above.
S210: In S200, when the power key is ON, the apparatus processing control unit 38 of the elevation control unit 30 related to the block 10B causes the pallet (pallet which is not in a fixed position other than the same pallet for driving operation in the same block). It is monitored whether there is an elevating body 16). This monitoring is the same as S110 described above. And when there exists a pallet which is not a fixed position (Y), since operation of the pallet raising / lowering body 16 is being performed, it transfers to S260.
S220: When there is no pallet that is not in a fixed position in the same block in S210 (N), the device processing control unit 38 of the lifting control unit 30 related to the block 10B causes the stand door of the charging stand 24 in the same block 10B. It is monitored whether there is a pallet 24a is open. This monitoring is the same as S110 described above.
If there is a pallet in which the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is open in the same block 10B (Y), the process proceeds to S260.
S230: In S220, when there is no pallet in which the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is open in the same block (N), the apparatus processing control unit 38 of the lifting control unit 30 related to the block 10B is changed to the block 10A. Information on whether or not the immediately adjacent pallet lifting body 163 is in a fixed position is obtained from the apparatus processing control section 38 of the lifting control section 30. When the pallet lifting body 163 of the block 10A is not in a fixed position (N), even if the operation of the pallet lifting body 163 of the block 10A is being executed, that is, the pallet lifting body 163 is being lifted or stopped. Since it is clear that it will return to a fixed position soon, it transfers to S260.

S240: In the above S230, when the pallet lifting body 16 of the adjacent another block 10A is in a fixed position (Y), the device processing control unit 38 of the lifting control unit 30 related to the block 10B performs the charge control related to the block 10A. Information on whether or not the stand door 24a of the pallet elevating body 163 is open is obtained from the outlet energization control unit 32 of the unit 28.
If the stand door 24a of the pallet lifting body 163 is open (Y), the process proceeds to S260.
S250: In S240, if there is no pallet in which the stand door 24a of the charging stand 24 is open in the adjacent block 10A, there is no factor that hinders the lifting operation of the pallet lifting body 16 of the same block 10B. The operation is started, and the apparatus operation control unit 36 of the elevating control unit 30 performs the elevating operation of the pallet elevating body 161 of the same block 10B.
S260: Since there is a factor that hinders the lifting / lowering operation of the pallet lifting body 16 in the same block 10B, the operation is disabled, and the device processing control unit 38 of the lifting control unit 30 related to the block 10B performs the operation of the pallet lifting body 161 of the block 10B. Does not perform the lifting operation.
Note that the procedure of each step is merely an example, and the order can be appropriately changed and operated.

Now, according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the elevating type multi-level parking apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention has a separate block (for example, 10A) directly adjacent to a pallet lifting body (for example, 161) of the same block (for example, 10B). When the stand door 24a of the pallet lifting / lowering body (for example, 163) is opened and an operation such as insertion / extraction of the charging cord 24b with respect to the battery charging stand 24 is performed, the pallet lifting / lowering body (for example, 10B) ( For example, the pallet lifting body (for example, 163) of another block (for example, 10A) immediately adjacent to 161) receives an open state detected by the open / close detection means 24c of the stand door 24a, and is interlocked (break contact 46B). The operation of the lifting mechanism of the pallet lifting body (eg 161) in the same block (eg 10B) is also stopped. It is. Thereby, the battery charging stand operator H ′ operates the pallet lifting body (for example, 163) immediately adjacent to the pallet lifting body (for example, 161) of the same block (for example, 10B) across the blocks. Can be avoided, and safe operation of the elevating type multilevel parking apparatus can be ensured.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the stand door 24a of the pallet elevating body 16 of the same block (for example, 10A) is opened, and an operation such as insertion / extraction of the charging cord 24b with respect to the battery charging stand 24 is performed. If it is, the lift control unit 30 receives a signal indicating the open state of the battery charging stand 24 from the open / close detection means 24c of the stand door 24a, and stops the operation of the lift mechanism of the same block (for example, 10A). (S120, S140). That is, when the stand door 24a of the battery charging stand 24 in any one of the blocks (for example, 10A) is open, the lifting mechanism of each pallet lifting body 16 does not move the pallet lifting body 16 up and down.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3B, the stand door 24a of the pallet lifting body 163 of another block (for example, 10A) directly adjacent to the pallet lifting body of the same block (for example, 10B) is opened, and the battery When an operation such as insertion / extraction of the charging cord 24b with respect to the charging stand 24 is performed, the interlock (break contact 46) causes the same block (for example, 10B) to pass through the same block (for example, 10B). The operation of the lifting mechanism is stopped in conjunction with the opening operation of the stand door 24a of the battery charging stand 24 of the pallet lifting body 163 of another block (for example, 10A) adjacent to the pallet lifting body 161 of 10B). (S240, S260).

  More specifically, when the stand door 24a of the pallet lifting body 163 of another block 10A directly adjacent to the pallet lifting body 161 of the block 10B is opened, the pallet lifting body 163 of the adjacent another block 10A is opened. The drive circuit 44B of the drive electric motor 42B of the lift mechanism of the same block 10B is disconnected by the break contact 46B interlocked with the opening operation of the stand door 24a of the battery charging stand 24, so that the lift of the same block 10B is performed. The operation of the mechanism can be stopped. Since the interlock according to the embodiment of the present invention does not involve the elevation control unit 30, for example, even when the battery charging stand 24 is added to an existing parking device, the configuration of the elevation control unit 30 is used. It is possible to install and add interlocks without making any changes.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the two blocks 10A and 10B are each provided with three rows of pallet lifting / lowering bodies 16 has been described as an example, but more blocks are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right. Even if it is a case, and it is a case where the number of rows of pallet raising / lowering bodies 16 of each block increases or decreases, it is possible to obtain the same effect.
