The parking floor F2 is partitioned into a first parking section S1 to which a plurality of parking spaces R belong and a second parking section S2 to which a plurality of parking spaces R belong, and the first circulation mechanism 21 is a vehicle in the first parking section S1. Is circulated along a predetermined circulation path, the second circulation mechanism 22 circulates the vehicle along the predetermined circulation path in the second parking section S2, and the first circulation mechanism 21 is connected to the lifter 11 and the first parking section. Since the vehicle can be transferred to and from S1, and the second circulation mechanism 22 can transfer the vehicle between the lifter 11 and the second parking section S2, parking is possible even if there is an obstacle on the parking floor. It is possible to reduce the dead space by appropriately arranging a plurality of parking sections partitioned on the floor.
The parking floor is divided into a first parking section S1, a second parking section S2,... Nth parking section (not shown), and the Nth circulation mechanism circulates the vehicle in the Nth parking section. Since the Nth circulation mechanism can transfer the vehicle between the lifter and the Nth parking section, even if there is an obstacle on the parking floor, multiple parking sections are arranged appropriately on the parking floor. Thus, dead space can be reduced.
When the lifter 11 is in the standby mode and there is an entry / exit command in the first parking section / second parking section, the lifter is switched to the first circulation control mode / second circulation control mode, and the first parking section / second parking section When the loading and unloading work in the two parking sections is completed, the lifter is switched to the standby mode, and when the lifter is in the first circulation control mode / second circulation control mode, the second circulation mechanism / first circulation mechanism is between the lifter Since the transfer of the vehicle is prohibited, the lifter can be shared when entering and leaving the first and second parking sections.
Further, when there is a loading / unloading command in the Nth parking section when the lifter 11 is in the standby mode, the lifter is shifted to the Nth circulation control mode, and when the loading / unloading work in the Nth parking section is completed, the lifter is switched to the standby mode. Since the transition is made so that when the lifter is in the Nth circulation control mode, other circulation mechanisms are prohibited from transferring the vehicle to and from the lifter, entry / exit in the first parking area to the Nth parking area Lifters can be shared during the event.
Further, when the lifter 11 is in the first circulation control mode / second circulation control mode, a pseudo signal indicating that the lifter 11 is not on the parking floor F2 is output to the second circulation mechanism 22 / first circulation mechanism 21. Therefore, when the lifter 11 is in the first circulation control mode / second circulation control mode, it is possible to prohibit the second circulation mechanism 22 / first circulation mechanism 21 from transferring the vehicle to and from the lifter 11.
In addition, since the lifter 11 gives a pseudo signal indicating that the lifter is not on the parking floor when the lifter 11 is in the Nth circulation control mode, the lifter 11 outputs another signal when the lifter 11 is in the Nth circulation control mode. The circulation mechanism can be prohibited from transferring the vehicle to and from the lifter.
In addition, since the vehicle can be moved and transferred in the left / right / front / rear direction of the vehicle between the lifter 11 and the parking space belonging to the first parking section S1 / second parking section S2, the lifter is placed on the parking floor F2. 11 parking spaces in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction can be arranged to reduce the dead space of the parking floor F2.
