〔Warehousing processing〕
Next, the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50 at the time of warehousing will be described with reference to the drawings. 5 to 7 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50.

  First, when warehousing, the user moves the vehicle 2 in front of the loading / unloading port 3, gets off, and heads for the operation panel 22. Then, the lock is unlocked with a dedicated key and the lid 44 of the housing 43 is opened. When the main control unit 50 detects that the lid 44 is opened (SA1 in FIG. 5), the main control unit 50 displays a first user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SA2).

  When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the user ID is input (SA3), the main control unit 50 performs first user authentication for determining whether or not the person who is going to enter the store is a registered user (SA4). . Specifically, the main control unit 50 accesses the general database 52 and determines whether or not the input user ID is registered. As a result, when the first user authentication is not successful (SA5: NO), the user is notified that the authentication has failed by displaying a message indicating that the user authentication has failed on the touch panel 45. 1 is displayed (SA2).

  On the other hand, when the first user authentication is successful (SA5: YES), that is, when the user ID is registered in the general database 52, the user's input operation from the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 is permitted. The user ID (first authentication information) for which the first user authentication has been successful is stored in the storage unit 41 (SA7), and the entry activation confirmation screen is displayed on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22. (SA8).

If the start button is not pressed within the predetermined period on the warehousing start confirmation screen (SA9: NO), the user ID stored in step SA7 is deleted (SA10) and the input permission state is canceled (SA11). ), The process returns to step SA2, and the first user authentication screen is displayed on the touch panel 45.
On the other hand, on the warehousing activation confirmation screen, when the activation button is pressed by the user within a predetermined period, a warehousing activation signal indicating that the activation button has been depressed is input to the main control unit 50 (SA9: YES). When the main control unit 50 receives the warehousing start signal, the main control unit 50 outputs an instruction to call an empty pallet from the vehicle storage shelf 17 to the transport machine control unit 56 (see FIG. 4) and also waits for warehousing on the touch panel 45 indicating the state of waiting for warehousing. A confirmation screen is displayed (SA12).

  Next, when the empty pallet arrives at the entrance / exit room 7, the main control unit 50 displays a door opening screen indicating that the entrance door 4 is opened on the touch panel 45 (SA13), and instructs the entrance door control unit to open the entrance door 4. 55 (see FIG. 4). Thereby, the doorway door is opened by the doorway door control unit 55. Then, when the door 4 is completely opened (SA14), the main control unit 50 displays a warehousing guidance screen for prompting the user to enter the garage on the touch panel 45 (SA15 in FIG. 6), and cancels the input permission state ( SA16). As a result, it is possible to prevent an input from the touch panel 45 by a third party while the user is away from the operation panel 22.

The user who confirmed the entry guide screen gets into the vehicle 2, moves the vehicle 2 into the passenger compartment, places the vehicle 2 on the empty pallet transported into the passenger compartment, gets off the vehicle, exits the passenger compartment 7, Return to the operation panel 22.
Subsequently, the main control unit 50 displays a second user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SA17).

When the user who has confirmed the second user authentication screen brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50 (SA18). When receiving the user ID, the main control unit 50 performs second user authentication (SA19). In the second user authentication, it is determined whether or not the received user ID (second authentication information) is a pre-registered user ID, and the user ID input in the first user authentication ( A verification process is performed to determine whether the first authentication information) and the user ID (second authentication information) input in the second user authentication have a predetermined relationship, for example, whether or not both are the same. . As described above, in the second user authentication, whether or not the user who operates the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22 and the same user as the user who has instructed the operation to start warehousing. It is determined whether a subsequent input operation is performed by the user.
In the second user authentication, it is determined only whether the user ID input in the first user authentication and the user ID input in the second user authentication have a predetermined relationship. It is good.

If the second user authentication is not successful (SA20: NO), the process returns to step SA17 to display the second user authentication screen. At this time, it may be notified that authentication has failed.
Further, when the second user authentication is successful (SA20: YES), the main control unit 50 enters an input permission state in which the user's input operation from the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 is permitted (SA21: input permission means). ) The main control unit 50 displays an unattended confirmation screen for allowing the user to perform unmanned confirmation in the passenger compartment on the touch panel 45 and provides guidance for allowing the user to perform unattended confirmation (SA22).

Next, a delivery process executed by the main control unit 50 at the time of delivery will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 11 to 13 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the leaving process executed by the main control unit 50. The exit process is realized, for example, when the CPU reads out an exit process program stored in the auxiliary storage device to the main storage device and executes it.

  When leaving, the user moves to the front of the operation panel 22 and opens the cover 44 of the operation panel using the key. When the main control unit 50 detects that the lid 44 is opened (SB1 in FIG. 11), the main control unit 50 displays a first user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SB2).

  When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the user ID is input (SB3), the main control unit 50 performs first user authentication for determining whether or not the person who is going to go out is a user registered in advance (SB4). . Specifically, the main control unit 50 accesses the general database 52 and determines whether or not the input user ID is registered. As a result, when the first user authentication is not successful (SB5: NO), the user is notified that the authentication has failed by displaying a message indicating that the user authentication has failed on the touch panel 45. 1 is displayed (SB2).

  On the other hand, when the first user authentication is successful (SB5: YES), that is, when the user ID is registered in the general database 52, the user's input operation from the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 is permitted. The input permission state is set (SB6), the user ID for which the first user authentication is successful is stored in the storage unit 41 (SB7), and the exit start confirmation screen is displayed on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SB8).

If the start button is not pressed within the predetermined period on the exit start confirmation screen (SB9: NO), the user ID stored in step SB7 is deleted (SB10), and the input permission state is canceled (SB11). ), The process returns to step SB2, and the first user authentication screen is displayed on the touch panel 45.

  When the user who has confirmed the second user authentication screen brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50 (SB18). When receiving the user ID, the main control unit 50 performs second user authentication (SB19). In the second user authentication, it is determined whether or not the received user ID is a pre-registered user ID, and the user ID input in the first user authentication and the second user authentication. A collation process is performed to determine whether or not the input user ID has a predetermined relationship, for example, whether or not both are the same. As described above, in the second user authentication, whether or not the user who operates the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22, and the same user as the user who has instructed the operation of starting the delivery. It is determined whether a subsequent input operation is performed by the user.

  If the second user authentication is not successful (SB20: NO), the process returns to step SB17 to display the second user authentication screen. On the other hand, when the second user authentication is successful (SB20: YES), the main control unit 50 enters an input permission state in which the user's input operation from the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 is permitted (SB21: input permission means). ) The main control unit 50 displays an unmanned confirmation screen (see FIG. 8) for allowing the user to perform unmanned confirmation in the passenger compartment on the touch panel 45 and provides guidance for allowing the user to perform unmanned confirmation. (SB22).

  When the room entry button BT2 is pressed on the unattended confirmation screen, a room entry signal is input to the main control unit 50 (SB23: YES). When receiving the room entry signal, the main control unit 50 returns to step SB16, cancels the input permission state (input permission cancellation means), and causes the touch panel 45 to display the second user authentication screen again (SB17). Thereby, even if the user moves from the front of the operation panel 22, it is possible to prevent an input from the touch panel 45 by a third party other than the user having a predetermined relationship with the user who has received the first user authentication. It becomes possible.

On the other hand, when the unmanned confirmation button BT1 is pressed on the unmanned confirmation screen (SB24: YES), an unmanned confirmation completion signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50.

〔Warehousing processing〕
Next, the warehousing process executed by the control device 100 at the time of warehousing will be described with reference to the drawings. 19 to 21 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the warehousing process executed by the control device 100.

  First, when warehousing, the user enters the warehousing berth 102a or 102b from the direction of arrow A in FIG. In the following description, the case where a vehicle is stored in the storage berth 102a will be described for convenience. When the driver stops the vehicle at an appropriate position on the incoming berth 102a, the driver gets off and moves to the parking lot entrance 6 through the automatic door 134a.

When it is detected by the various sensors 210 and the entrance / exit detection sensor 200 installed in the entry berth 102a or the like that the user has exited the entry berth 102a (SC1), the operation panel is based on a signal from the main control unit 150. A first authentication screen is displayed on the touch panel 135 of 130a (SC2).
When the administrator contacts the IC card with the IC card reader 301 in accordance with the first authentication screen, the operator ID registered in the IC card is read (SC3) and transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the operator ID is input, the main control unit 50 tries to operate the operation panel 130a by determining whether or not the input operator ID is registered as a registered operator ID in the authentication information database. The first operator authentication is performed to determine whether or not the person who has the right is authorized (SC4).

As a result, if the first operator authentication is not successful (SC5: NO), a message indicating that the operator authentication has failed is displayed on the touch panel 305 to notify that the operator authentication has failed. Then, the first authentication screen is displayed (SC2).
On the other hand, when the first operator authentication is successful (SC5: YES), the main control unit 150 stores the operator ID (first authentication information) for which the first operator authentication was successful (SC6). The first authentication completion signal is transmitted to the operation panel 130a. When receiving the first authentication completion signal, operation screen control unit 142 of operation panel 130a displays a parking ticket insertion screen on touch panel 305 (SC7). On the parking ticket insertion screen, for example, a guidance display such as “Please insert parking ticket” is performed. When the administrator inserts the parking ticket into the parking ticket reader 302 (SC8), the operation screen control unit 42 displays a warehousing preparation screen indicating that the warehousing is being prepared on the touch panel 305 (SC9). In addition, a parking ticket insertion completion signal is transmitted from operation panel 130 a to main control unit 150. When the main control unit 150 receives the parking ticket insertion completion signal, it moves the warehousing lift 103 to the entrance floor where the warehousing ber 102a is located (SC10: first activation process of the machine).

  When warehousing lift 103 arrives at the entrance floor, operation screen control unit 142 of operation panel 130a displays an unmanned confirmation screen on touch panel 305 (SC11 in FIG. 20). In the unattended confirmation screen, for example, an “unmanned confirmation button” is displayed together with guidance for prompting unmanned confirmation in the vehicle such as “please confirm that there is no person in the vehicle”. In accordance with this guidance, the driver or passenger confirms that there is no person or the like in the warehousing berth 2a, and presses the “unmanned confirmation button” on the touch panel 305 (SC12). When the unattended confirmation button is pressed, the operation screen control unit 142 displays a second authentication screen on the touch panel 305 (SC13).

  When the administrator brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 301 (SC14), the operator ID is transmitted from the operation panel 130a to the main control unit 150. The main control unit 150 performs second operator authentication (SC15). In the second operator authentication, it is determined whether or not the received operator ID is a pre-registered operator ID, and the operator ID (first authentication information) input in the first operator authentication is determined. ) And the operator ID (second authentication information) input in the second operator authentication have a predetermined relationship, for example, a collation process is performed to determine whether or not they are the same. In this way, in the second operator authentication, the administrator who operated the operation panel 130a has the authority to operate the operation panel 130a, and instructed the start-up operation (SC10) of the mechanical device. It is determined whether a subsequent input operation is performed by the same manager as the manager.

  If the second operator authentication is not successful, the process returns to step SC13 to display the second authentication screen. On the other hand, if the second operator authentication is successful (SC16: YES), the main control unit 150 enters an input permission state that permits an administrator's input operation from the touch panel 305 of the operation panel 130a (SC17: input). Permission means), a second authentication completion signal is transmitted to the operation panel 130a.

  When the operation panel 130a receives the second authentication completion signal, the operation screen control unit 142 of the operation panel 130a displays a safety confirmation screen on the touch panel 305 (SC18). On the safety confirmation screen, for example, “safety confirmation button” and “room entry button” are displayed together with guidance for prompting safety confirmation in the hall such as “please check the safety in the hall with a monitor”. Here, the entry button is used when a user (for example, a driver or a passenger) notices a forgotten item and enters the berth berth again from the front of the operation panel 130a, or when an administrator leaves the operation panel 130a. This button is provided for the purpose of preventing operation input by a third party. In addition, on the safety confirmation screen, the video in the field taken by a plurality of cameras installed in the warehousing berth 102 a is displayed on the monitor 304.

  When the “entry button” is pressed on the safety confirmation screen (SC19: YES), an entry signal is output from the operation screen control unit 142 to the main control unit 150. When the main control unit 150 receives the room entry signal, the main control unit 150 cancels the input permission state (SC27), and causes the touch panel 305 to display the second authentication screen again (SC13). Thereby, even if a user or an administrator moves from the front of the operation panel 130a, a third party other than the person who has a predetermined relationship with the operator who has received the first operator authentication (in this case, the administrator). It is possible to prevent input from the touch panel 305.

  On the other hand, when the safety confirmation button is pressed on the safety confirmation screen (SC20: YES), the operation screen control unit 142 displays a startup screen on the touch panel 305 (SC21). On the start-up screen, a “start-up button” and a “room entry button” are displayed together with guidance for re-checking the safety in the warehousing berth 102a. At this time, the monitor 304 displays a video image of the place taken by a plurality of cameras installed in the warehousing berth 102a.

  When the “room entry button” is pressed on the startup screen (SC22: YES), a room entry signal is output from the operation screen controller 142 to the main controller 150. When the main control unit 150 receives the room entry signal, the main control unit 150 cancels the input permission state (SC27), and causes the touch panel 305 to display the second authentication screen again (SC13). Thereby, even if a user or an administrator moves from the front of the operation panel 130a, a third party other than the person who has a predetermined relationship with the operator who has received the first operator authentication (in this case, the administrator). It is possible to prevent input from the touch panel 305.

  On the other hand, when the activation button is pressed on the activation screen (SC23: YES), an activation instruction signal is transmitted from the operation panel 130a to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the start instruction signal, the main control unit 50 performs storage processing of the warehousing vehicle (SC24: second start processing of the mechanical device). In parallel with the storage process of the incoming vehicle, the parking ticket is discharged from the parking ticket reader 302 of the operation panel 130a (SC25). When the driver or passenger receives the parking ticket, the driver keeps the parking ticket until the time of delivery.

In the storage process of the warehousing vehicle, the machine control unit 153 opens a partition door (not shown) that separates the warehousing ber 102a and the storage shelf, and the transverse conveyors 114a and 114b of the warehousing ber 102a and the transverse conveyor 117a of the warehousing lift 103, Activating 117b. Thereby, the warehousing vehicle stopped at the warehousing berth 102 a is laterally moved and moved onto the warehousing lift 103. Thereafter, the machine control unit 153 closes a partition door (not shown) that separates the warehousing ber 102a and the warehousing lift 103, and raises and lowers the warehousing lift 103 to a desired storage floor. And a warehouse vehicle is stored in a predetermined storage shelf by operating the traveling cart 105 and each transverse feed conveyor.
When the storage process of the warehousing vehicle is completed, the parking ticket information, the warehousing vehicle, and the storage shelf are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 156 as parking management information (SC26).

  In addition, in the series of warehousing processes described above, the main control unit 150 has no person in front of the operation panel 130a by the human sensor 307 while the second operator authentication is successful and the input is permitted. When the sensor signal indicating this is input, the input permission state may be canceled, and the second authentication screen may be displayed on the touch panel 305. Thus, since the input permission state is canceled when the human sensor 307 detects that there is no person in front of the operation panel 130a, the administrator who is the operator in the state where the touch panel 305 is in the input permission state. Even when the operator leaves the operation panel 130a, it is possible to avoid third-party input as much as possible.

  In addition, in the above-described series of warehousing processes, the main control unit 50 determines whether the entry / exit to the warehousing ber 102a is performed by the entry / exit detection sensor 200 while the second operator authentication is successful and the input is permitted. When it is detected, the input permission state may be canceled and the second authentication screen may be displayed on the touch panel 305. Thereby, even when a user, an administrator, or a third party enters the berth berth 102a while the touch panel 305 is in an input-permitted state, an input operation from the operation panel 130a by a third party is avoided as much as possible. can do.

[Shipping process]
Subsequently, a delivery process executed by the control device 100 at the time of delivery will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 24 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the leaving process executed by the control device 100. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, a case will be described in which a delivery reservation is made from the operation panel 130c corresponding to the delivery berth 107a.

  At the time of delivery, the driver or passenger first settles the fee in advance with a payment machine or the like, and gives a parking ticket to the manager. The administrator brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 301 in accordance with the first authentication screen displayed on the touch panel 305 of the operation panel 130c (SD1, SD2 in FIG. 22).

  The operator ID read from the IC card is transmitted to the main control unit 150, and the first operator authentication is performed in the same manner as at the time of warehousing. As a result, if the first operator authentication is not successful (SD4: NO), a message indicating that the operator authentication has failed is displayed on the touch panel 305, and then the first authentication screen is displayed ( SD1).

  On the other hand, when the first operator authentication is successful (SD4: YES), the main control unit 150 stores the operator ID (first authentication information) in which the first operator authentication is successful in the storage unit 156 ( SD5), a first authentication completion signal is transmitted to the operation panel 130c. When receiving the first authentication completion signal, the operation screen control unit 142 of the operation panel 130c displays a parking ticket insertion screen on the touch panel 305 (SD6). On the parking ticket insertion screen, for example, a guidance display such as “Please insert parking ticket” is performed. When the administrator inserts the parking ticket into the parking ticket reader 302 (SD7), the parking ticket information is read (SD8) and transmitted to the main control unit 150.

  The main control unit 150 refers to the parking management information in the storage unit 156 from the received parking ticket information, and specifies the storage shelf in which the outgoing vehicle is stored (SD9). Subsequently, the main control unit 150 performs a delivery process of the delivery vehicle that moves the delivery vehicle from the specified storage shelf to the exit floor (SD10: first activation process of the mechanical device). When the delivery lift 108 on which the delivery vehicle is placed reaches the exit floor where the delivery berth 107a is located (SD11), the main control unit 50 transmits a delivery preparation completion signal to the operation panel 130c. When the operation screen control unit 142 of the operation panel 130c receives a preparation preparation completion signal from the main control unit 150 (SD12 in FIG. 23), it displays a second authentication screen on the touch panel 305 (SD13).

  When the administrator confirms the second authentication screen displayed on the touch panel 305 of the operation panel 130c, the administrator brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 301 of the operation panel 130c (SD14). Thereby, 2nd operator authentication is performed similarly to the time of warehousing (SD15). As a result, when the second operator authentication is not successful (SD16: NO), the process returns to step SD13 to display the second authentication screen. On the other hand, when the second operator authentication is successful (SD16: YES), the main control unit 150 enters an input permission state permitting an administrator's input operation from the touch panel 305 of the operation panel 130c (SD17: input). Permission means), a second authentication completion signal is transmitted to the operation panel 130c.

  When the operation screen control unit 42 of the operation panel 130c receives the second authentication completion signal, the operation screen control unit 42 causes the touch panel 305 to display an “exit preparation completion screen” (SD18). On the exit preparation completion screen, for example, a “confirmation button” is displayed together with guidance such as “preparation of exit is complete. Do you want to proceed with the exit process?”.

  When the confirmation button is pressed (SD19), the operation screen control unit 142 of the operation panel 130c subsequently displays a safety confirmation screen on the touch panel 305 (SD20 in FIG. 24). On the safety confirmation screen, for example, a “safety confirmation button” and a “leave button” are displayed together with a guidance for prompting safety confirmation such as “please confirm safety in the hall with a monitor”. Here, the leaving button is a button provided for the purpose of preventing an input from a third party when an administrator who is an operator temporarily leaves the front of the operation panel 130c. Further, on the safety confirmation screen, the monitor 304 displays on-site images taken by a plurality of cameras installed in the exit berth 107a.

  When the “exit button” (cancel release means) is pressed on the safety confirmation screen (SD21: YES), an exit signal is output from the operation screen control unit 142 to the main control unit 150. When receiving the leaving signal, the main control unit 150 cancels the input permission state (SD27), and causes the touch panel 305 to display the second authentication screen again (SD13). Thereby, even if the operator (administrator) moves from the front of the operation panel 130c, an input from the touch panel 305 by a third party other than the person who has the predetermined relationship with the operator who has received the first operator authentication is performed. It becomes possible to stop.

  On the other hand, when the safety confirmation button is pressed on the safety confirmation screen (SD22: YES), the operation screen control unit 142 displays the startup screen on the touch panel 305 (SD23). On the start-up screen, “start-up button” and “exit button” (release instruction means) are displayed together with guidance for re-checking the safety in the outgoing berth 107a. At this time, the monitor 304 displays images in the field taken by a plurality of cameras installed in the delivery berth 107a.

  When the “exit button” is pressed on the activation screen (SD24: YES), an exit signal is output from the operation screen control unit 142 to the main control unit 150. When receiving the leaving signal, the main control unit 150 cancels the input permission state (SD27), and causes the touch panel 305 to display the second authentication screen again (SD13). Thereby, even if the administrator moves from the front of the operation panel 130c, it is possible to prevent an input from the touch panel 305 by a third party other than a person having a predetermined relationship with the operator who has received the first operator authentication. It becomes possible.

  On the other hand, when the activation button is pressed on the activation screen (SD25: YES), an activation instruction signal is transmitted from the operation panel 130c to the main control unit 150. When the main control unit 150 receives the start instruction signal, the main control unit 150 performs a carry-out process for moving the vehicle to the outgoing berth 107a (SD26: second start-up process of the mechanical device). Specifically, the main control unit 150 opens the compartment door that separates the delivery berth 107a from the storage shelf, and operates the transverse feed conveyors 119a and 119b of the delivery lift 108 and the transverse feed conveyors 120a and 120b of the delivery berth 107a. As a result, the unloading vehicle placed on the unloading lift 108 is laterally fed and moved to the unloading berth 107a (SD26). Thereafter, the main control unit 150 closes a partition door (not shown) that separates the delivery berth 107a and the delivery lift 108. The driver and the passenger enter the exit berth 107b through the automatic door 136b, get into the vehicle, and drive the vehicle in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 15, thereby leaving the exit berth 107a.

  Further, the main control unit 150 has no person in front of the operation panel 130c by the human sensor 307 while the second operator authentication is successful and in the input permission state in the above-described series of delivery processes. When the sensor signal indicating this is input, the input permission state may be canceled, and the second authentication screen may be displayed on the touch panel 305. As described above, when the human sensor 307 detects that there is no person in front of the operation panel 130c, the input permission state is canceled. Therefore, the operator (administrator) with the touch panel 305 in the input permission state is released. Even when the operator leaves the operation panel 130c, it is possible to avoid third-party input as much as possible.

  Further, the main control unit 150 determines whether the entry / exit to the exit berth 107a is performed by the entrance / exit detection sensor 200 while the second operator authentication is successful and the input is permitted in the series of exit processes described above. When it is detected, the input permission state may be canceled and the second authentication screen may be displayed on the touch panel 305. As a result, even when a user such as a driver, a manager, or a third party enters the shipping berth 107a with the touch panel 305 in an input-permitted state, a person other than the manager who has received the first operator authentication It is possible to avoid an input operation by a person as much as possible.

  As described above, according to the mechanical parking device, the control device, the control method, and the control program according to the present embodiment, the input from the touch panel is permitted when the second operator authentication is successful. In the input-permitted state, the input-permitted state is canceled when the entry button or the leave button is operated. Thereby, a third party's input operation can be prevented and safety can be improved. In this case, since the operator ID (first authentication information) stored in the storage unit is maintained without being deleted, an operator (for example, an administrator) who has received the first operator authentication performs an operation. By inputting the person ID again, the warehousing process and the warehousing process can be continued. Thereby, the convenience for the operator can be enhanced.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, in the input permission state in which the input from the touch panel is permitted due to the success of the second operator authentication, the entrance / exit of the person to the berth is detected by the entrance / exit detection sensor. In this case, the input permission state is released. Thereby, for example, even when an authorized operator, a user such as a driver, or a third party enters the berth while the input permission state is maintained, an input operation by a third party is prevented. be able to. Thereby, safety can be improved.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the human sensor detects that there is no person in front of the operation panel in the input permission state where the input from the touch panel is permitted due to the success of the second operator authentication. In the case of an input, the input permission state is canceled. Accordingly, for example, even when an operator who has been authenticated while the input permission state is maintained moves from the front of the operation panel, an input operation by a third party can be prevented. Thereby, safety can be improved.

  Moreover, in 2nd Embodiment mentioned above, although the case where a warehousing process and a leaving process were implement | achieved and demonstrated by cooperation with the main control part and the operation panel control part provided in each operation panel was demonstrated, for example, the above-mentioned As in the first embodiment, the main control unit may directly control the operation panel without providing the operation panel control unit. In addition, the functions of the main control unit and the operation panel control unit are not limited to the above example. For example, the operation panel control unit may include a part of the functions of the main control unit, It is also possible to configure the main control unit to include a part of the provided functions.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. Various changes or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment without departing from the gist of the invention, and embodiments to which the changes or improvements are added are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
In addition, the flow of the warehousing process and the evacuation process described in the above embodiment is also an example, and unnecessary steps are deleted, new steps are added, or the processing order is changed within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. It is possible to

  For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the entry button and the exit button (cancellation instruction means) are displayed on the touch panel so that the operator can input the input permission state cancellation instruction. The button presentation mode is not limited to this example. For example, the operation panel may be physically provided. Further, the room entry button and the exit button are not necessarily provided on the operation panel, and may be provided at a position where an operator operating the operation panel can operate.

  In addition, as a method for inputting a user ID and an operator ID (authentication information), a method of causing an IC card reader to read an IC card in which the user ID and the operator ID are recorded is adopted. The person ID input method is not limited to this example. For example, various methods such as an input method using an IC tag and a method of inputting a pre-registered personal identification number from a numeric keypad or a touch panel can be employed. Further, biometric authentication or the like may be used. Also, various input instructions such as unmanned confirmation buttons, safety confirmation buttons, and door closing buttons are not limited to input operations via the touch panel. For example, a physical door closing button provided on the operation panel may be operated. Alternatively, it may be input by voice.

  The mechanical parking device according to each embodiment may further include an emergency stop button. The emergency stop button is an input interface for stopping the operation of the mechanical device, unlike the entry button and the leave button described above. When this emergency stop button is operated, the drive power source of the mechanical device is shut down, and the operation of the mechanical device is stopped. In addition, the restoration work when the emergency stop button is operated needs to be performed by a worker of a management company that manages the mechanical parking device, and the restoration takes time.

  Moreover, the mechanical parking apparatus according to each embodiment may further include a cancel button for canceling the entire warehousing process and warehousing process. When the cancel button is operated, the warehousing process and the leaving process are canceled and the authentication information stored in the storage unit, that is, the first user authentication and the first operator authentication are successful. The user ID and operator ID written in the storage unit are also deleted.

  The presenting method of the emergency stop button or the cancel button is not limited. For example, it may be provided as a physical button on the operation panel, or may be provided in a place where an operator other than the operation panel can easily operate. Moreover, it is good also as showing to an operator by always displaying on the touch panel of an operation panel.
