[Configuration of Parking Device 100]
FIG. 1 shows a main configuration of a parking device 100 according to an aspect of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the parking apparatus as viewed from the side (in the case where the side with the entry / exit opening is the front).

  In the parking apparatus 100, a main structure is constituted by columns 102, and a pallet 104 for mounting a vehicle is installed in the main structure. The pallet 104 is provided to be able to move up and down along the support 102 by the elevator 106. In addition, the pallet 104 may be movable along the lateral direction of the vehicle (in the depth direction of the drawing of FIG. 1). In the main structure, the pallets 104 are provided at intervals such that the vehicles do not interfere with each other when stacking a plurality of vehicles in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the main structure formed by the columns 102 forms a parking space stacked in a plurality of stages in the longitudinal direction.

  The parking device 100 is operated by a parking device operation panel 108. The parking device operation panel 108 is provided outside the parking device 100. For example, the parking device operating panel 108 and the interlock operating panel 110 are attached to a support 102 near the inlet / outlet of the parking device 100 (lower right in the figure). The parking device operating panel 108 and the interlock operating panel 110 may be housed in an integral housing and configured as one operating panel.

  The user operates the parking device operation panel 108 from the outside of the parking device 100 to move the target pallet 104 to the loading / unloading opening. Also, the user can operate the interlock operation panel 110 to activate or release an interlock described later.

  The safety gate 112 provided at the entrance / exit of the parking apparatus 100 can be opened and closed by the parking apparatus operation panel 108. The safety gate 112 is closed except when the vehicle is opened for loading and unloading. Therefore, even when the pallet 104 moves, the safety gate 112 is closed. The closure of the safety gate 112 normally prevents a person from entering the parking device 100. A signal output from the parking device operation panel 108 is sent to the control panel 114, and the control panel 114 outputs a control signal to a driving device for moving the pallet 104 and opening and closing the safety gate 112. The drive includes devices such as an elevator 106 for moving the pallet 104 and devices for opening and closing the safety gate 112.

  The pallet 104 can be provided with a charging facility 116. Electric power (for example, single-phase 200 V power) is supplied to the charging facility 116 from the switchboard 118. By providing the charging facility 116 on the pallet 104, charging can be performed in a state where a vehicle such as an electric car is parked. When the charging facility 116 is provided, as shown in FIG. 1, the charging facility 116 may be provided for a part or all of the pallets 104 in the parking device 100.

  In the parking apparatus 100 which forms parking spaces stacked in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction and accommodates and parks the vehicle three-dimensionally, the pallet 104 moves up and down to move the target pallet 104 to the loading and unloading opening. Take out and put in There are several methods for moving the target pallet 104 to the loading / unloading opening, for example, a method for sinking the lower pallet 104 into the underground pit to leave the vehicle parked on the upper pallet 104, A method of sliding the lower or upper pallet 104 in the lateral direction of the vehicle body (in the depth direction of the drawing of FIG. 1) to lower the upper pallet 104 to a space where the lower pallet 104 does not exist ing.

  The example shown in FIG. 1 shows an aspect in which parking spaces P1, P2, P3 and P4 are provided from the first floor to the upper floor. In addition, a parking space P5 (not shown) is provided in the lateral direction of the parking space P1 (backward direction in FIG. 1). At this time, in order to lower the pallets 104 parked in the parking space P4 in the upper stage and store the vehicle, the pallets 104 in the parking spaces P1, P2 and P3 in the lower stage become obstacles. In this case, moving up the pallet 104 of the parking space P5 and sliding the pallet 104 of the parking spaces P1, P2 and P3 in the lateral direction eliminates the obstacle, so lower the pallet 104 of the parking space P4 to the loading / unloading opening. Is possible.

[Parking device operation panel 108]
FIG. 2 shows an example of the parking device operation panel 108. The parking device operation panel 108 performs an operation of moving a target pallet to the loading / unloading port. The parking device operation panel 108 is provided with an operation power switch 120, an operation unit 122, a number input unit 126, a display unit 124, and an emergency stop button 128.

  The parking device 100 is powered on by turning the operation power switch 120 from "off" to "on". The operation power switch 120 is also a locking means of the parking device 100, and the locking is released by the operation key matching the locking means, and the operation becomes possible. As the key means, it is possible to apply a key fitted to the cylinder lock, a dial-type key, a password type key, a key with a magnetic card or an IC card, or the like. In the following, the case where a key with a blade is used as an example of the key means will be exemplified, and the key means will be described by being called "operation key".

  When using the parking device, it is possible to operate by inserting the operation key into the keyhole of the operation power switch 120, and when the operation key is turned "on", the operation key can not be removed from the operation power switch 120 It has become. In order to remove the operation key from the operation power switch 120, “gate closed” is set, and the operation key is further turned to the “off” position to turn off the power supply of the parking device before removal.

  The operation unit 122 is a part that performs basic operation of the parking device. Although what is shown in FIG. 2 is such an example, the operating unit 122 has lighting lamps and operation buttons arranged for each operation procedure. By turning the operation power switch 120 from “off” to “on”, the “power key SW” of the operation unit 122 is lit. The “safety confirmation button” of the operation unit 122 is a button that is pressed by the user after the user confirms whether there is a person in the parking device. When the safety gate 112 is closed, pressing this button causes the pallet call to transition to a possible state. When the safety gate 112 is open, the pallet is not moved.

  The “calling number input” of the operation unit 122 is a lighting lamp prompting the user to input a pallet number (calling number). The “start” of the operation unit 122 is an operation button for starting the movement of the pallet 104 to the storage / storage opening and opening the safety gate 112 when the pallet 104 is moved to the storage / storage opening. On the other hand, the user can close the safety gate 112 by pressing the "safety confirmation button" after turning the operation key to "gate close" when the safety gate 112 is open. When the safety gate 112 is closed, the user can turn the operation key to "off" and can then remove the operation key.

  The pallet number is input by the number input unit 126. The number input by the number input unit 126 is displayed on the display unit 124. The user can confirm the number input from the number input unit 126 on the display unit 124. The emergency stop button 128 can be stopped by pressing this button when it is desired to make an emergency stop of the moving pallet 104. As described above, the parking device operation panel 108 includes the gate opening and closing instructing unit for instructing opening and closing of the gate and the pallet instructing unit for instructing movement of the pallet 104, and the power is turned on by the key means. It is possible to operate it. The user can perform basic operation of the parking device 100 using the parking device operation panel 108.

  Here, when charging a vehicle such as an electric vehicle using the charging facility 116 provided on the pallet 104, the user needs to enter the parking device 100 and connect the charging cable to the vehicle. At this time, it is necessary to insert the operation key into the operation power switch 120 of the parking device operation panel 108 to turn on the power and open the safety gate 112. Since the operation keys of the parking device operation panel 108 can not be removed while the power is on or at least the safety gate is open, the user enters the parking device 100 with the operation key connected to the operation power switch 120 and performs work. It will be done.

[Interlock control panel 110]
An interlock function is added to the parking apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment so that other users do not operate the operation keys to close the safety gate 112 or the like. The interlock operation panel 110 provided in the parking device 100 has a function of disabling the operation of the parking device control panel 108, that is, a function of disabling control of the drive device by the control panel 114. FIG. 3 shows an example of the interlock control panel 110. As shown in FIG.

  The interlock operation panel 110 is provided with a code input unit 130 that receives an input of a code from a user. The code input unit 130 is a numeric input key in this example, but character input may be possible. When the user inputs an appropriate code (for example, a four-digit number) using the code input unit 130, this code is stored, for example, in a memory provided in the interlock operation panel 110. Although details will be described later, the code is input before the opening / closing of the safety gate 112 is performed. As described above, the interlock operation panel 110 includes the code receiving unit for receiving the input of the code, and can be operated when the power is turned on by the key means.

  When the safety gate 112 is closed, the period until the code input is accepted by the code input unit 130 (period after the safety gate 112 is closed) is the safety gate 112 regardless of the operation by the parking device operation panel 108 The control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is disabled so that the interlock can be operated so that the door can not be opened. If the input of the code is accepted, the invalidation of the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is cancelled, and the movement of the pallet 104 and the opening of the safety gate 112 are performed according to the instruction to the parking device operation panel 108.

  On the other hand, when the safety gate 112 is open, the safety gate 112 is closed regardless of the operation by the parking device operation panel 108 during a period until the code input is accepted again (period after the safety gate 112 is opened). In order not to do so, the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is invalidated, and the interlock is activated. If the code input is accepted, the invalidation of the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is canceled, the safety gate 112 is closed according to the instruction to the parking device operation panel 108, and the code stored in the memory is It is reset. The code input here is a code input immediately before opening the safety gate 112, that is, a code stored in the memory.

  As described above, the code input when the safety gate 112 is opened may be arbitrarily selected by the user, but the code input when the safety gate 112 is closed is the code input when the safety gate 112 is opened. If it is not the same as (the code stored in the memory), the safety gate 112 is not closed but remains open since the interlock remains activated. Therefore, the pallet 104 is also not moved. When control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is invalidated, the same state as in the case where the power is turned off in the parking device operation panel 108 may be set.

  Here, when the parking device control panel 108 and the interlock control panel 110 are configured by an integral control panel, the code input unit 130 and the number input unit 126 are made common, and the pallet number is input by the number input key. And code input may be performed.

  The code used to invalidate the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is not limited to the case where the user operates the key of the code input unit 130 to input. For example, a receiver that receives a wireless signal from a device having a wireless communication function may be used instead of the code input unit 130. In this case, information obtained from the wireless signal received by the receiving unit may be accepted as a code. The device having a wireless communication function is a card, a mobile phone, or the like capable of noncontact short distance communication using RFID technology or the like. For example, if these devices are used for electronic money or the like, for example, an identification number uniquely assigned, a remaining amount of electronic money, or the like may be used as a code from the received wireless signal.

  Also, a fingerprint acquisition unit that acquires an image of a fingerprint by a sensor or the like may be used instead. In this case, information obtained from the image of the user's fingerprint (for example, the feature amount of the image) may be accepted as a code. As described above, since the code to be input can be freely selected when the safety gate 112 is opened, the fingerprint of any finger may be used. When closing the safety gate 112, the fingerprint of the same finger may be used for code input.

  The interlock operation panel 110 is provided with an interlock display unit 132 which informs the user that the interlock is in operation (the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is invalidated). The interlock display unit 132 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to display a message by characters. The interlock display unit 132 is also for confirming that there is a person in the parking device 100. Of course, in addition to the text message, a warning lamp may be turned on, a sound may be output, or mechanical motion may be used, or these May be combined. That is, the user is made to recognize that there is a person in the parking apparatus 100 by the notification unit that notifies the user that the interlock is in operation or that the interlock is not in operation. It should just be.

  Further, FIG. 3 shows a configuration in which the operation switch 130 and the interlock display unit 132 are provided on the interlock operation panel 110, but the interlock display unit 132 is separated and another place of the parking apparatus 100 (the user's eyes (E.g., the parking device operation panel 108).

[About charging equipment]
4 to 6 show an example of the charging facility 116. FIG. The charging facility 116 includes a box-shaped housing 134. The box-shaped housing 134 has a box-shaped housing at least partially provided with an opening. FIG. 4 shows a box-shaped housing 134 provided with an opening at the top. The opening of the box-shaped housing 134 is structured such that it can be covered by a lid member 136 which can be opened and closed. The box-shaped housing 134 and the lid member 136 are formed of resin or metal.

  The lid member 136 is hingedly connected to the box-shaped housing 134, and is folded to cover the box-shaped housing 134 and can be opened to open the lid. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lid member 136 is raised and the lid is opened. On the inner side (rear side) of the lid member 136, a power supply box 138 provided with an outlet 140 for connecting the charging cable is attached.

  By opening the lid member 136, the power supply box 138 is exposed as shown in FIG. The power supply line 138 is connected to the power supply box 138. The power supply line 142 is drawn out from the bottom of the box-shaped housing 134 and connected to the switchboard. The power supply box 138 may be provided on the side of the box-shaped housing 134. The charging facility 116 does not have to be box-shaped, and the charging cable 146 can be attached to and detached from the outlet 140 when the lid member 136 is opened, and attachment and detachment is limited when the lid member 136 is closed. It should just be the structure which can be locked.

  In FIG. 5, with the lid member 136 open, one end of the charging cable 146 is connected to the outlet 140, and the charging cable 146 is further wound and housed inside the box-shaped housing 134, and further the charging cable 146 is The other end of the connector 148 is shown pulled out of the notch 144.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the charging cable 146 is passed through the notch portion 144 of the box-shaped housing 134 to close the lid member 136 in a state where the connector 148 at one end is connected to the outlet 140 and connected. The connector 148 at the other end of the 146 can be pulled out of the box-shaped housing 134. And the connector 148 is connected to the connection part for charge by the side of a vehicle, and charge to a vehicle is performed. In this state, the supply of power via the charging cable 146 may be restricted, and the power may be supplied after the locking means 150 is locked with the lid 136 closed. .

  The lid member 136 is structured not to be vertical but slightly inclined in the closing direction when raised. By doing this, when the lid member 136 is not supported by hand, the lid member 136 is configured to be automatically collapsed and closed by gravity. Further, a damper (not shown) is provided on the hinge so as not to close the lid member 136 vigorously (not to fall down), and the lid member 136 is slowly closed when the hand is released. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which the cover member 136 is closed.

  The charging facility 116 is provided with locking means 150. The locking means 150 can be locked or unlocked by the key means with the lid member 136 closed as shown in FIG.

[System of parking device 100]
FIG. 7 shows a system block diagram of such a parking apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. An operation power switch 120, an operation unit 122, a number input unit 126, a display unit 124, and an emergency stop button 128 are provided on the parking apparatus operation panel 108, and operation information corresponding to the input operation is sent to the control panel 114. .

  The interlock control panel 110 is provided with a code input unit 130, an interlock display unit 132, and a memory 131 for storing a code. When a code is input by the code input unit 130, the code is stored in the memory 131, and when the same code is input again by the code input unit 130, the code stored in the memory 131 is reset. The reset may be erasing from the memory 131 or rewriting to a predetermined initial value. Memory information indicating whether a code is stored in the memory 131 (or an initial value) is sent from the interlock control panel 110 to the control panel 114.

  Note that either the information indicating that the code is stored in the memory 131 or the information indicating that the same code as the code stored in the memory 131 is input may be sent to the control panel 114. . Based on these pieces of information, it can be determined whether the control panel 114 cancels the control of the drive device 200. Also, when a specific code is input other than the same code as the code stored in the memory 131, the same code as the code stored in the memory 131 may be treated as being input. . In this way, when the user forgets the code entered, the administrator changes to the user and the interlock is released, for example, when the user leaves the parking apparatus 100 with the interlock activated. You can also

  The control panel 114 functions as a control unit that controls the drive device 200 based on the operation information and the memory information. The driving device 200 includes devices such as an elevator 106 for moving the pallet 104, a device for opening and closing the safety gate 112, and the like.

  When the safety gate 112 is closed, the control panel 114 invalidates the control of the drive device 200 based on the operation information if the code is not stored in the memory 131, and based on the operation information if the code is stored in the memory 131. Control of the drive device 200 is performed. On the other hand, when the safety gate 112 is open, the control panel 114 invalidates the control of the drive device 200 based on the operation information if the code is stored in the memory 131 and the operation information if the code is not stored in the memory 131 Control of the drive device 200 based on

  Thus, the control device for controlling the opening and closing of the safety gate 112 of the parking device 100 and the movement of the pallet 104 is realized by the parking device operating panel 108, the interlock operating panel 110, and the control panel 114.

[Operation flow of parking device]
FIG. 8 shows a flowchart for explaining the operation of the parking device 100 and the work of the user. First, in order to operate the parking device 100, an operation key is inserted into the operation power switch 120 of the parking device operation panel 108 to turn on the power (step S101). Then, an operation (such as inputting a pallet number) for instructing the pallet 104 to be called to the loading / unloading port is performed (step S103). However, at this time, no code is input to the code input unit 130, and the code is not stored in the memory 131. Accordingly, since the control of the drive device 200 by the control panel 114 is invalidated and the interlock is in operation, the pallet 104 is not moved and the safety gate 112 is not moved.

  When the code input by the user is accepted by the code input unit 130 (step S105), the code is stored in the memory 131 (step S107). As a result, the invalidation of the control by the driving device 200 is released, and the movement of the pallet starts (step S111). When the designated pallet 104 moves to the loading / unloading opening, the safety gate 112 operates to open (step S113). The code input (step S105) may be performed prior to the operation (step S103) instructing the pallet 104. In this case, when the operation instructing the pallet 104 is performed, the pallet is immediately moved. Begins (step S111).

  When the safety gate 112 is opened, the control by the driving device 200 is invalidated again and the interlock is activated. Then, the lamp of the interlock display unit 132 is turned on, and a warning letter is displayed (step S115). At the stage up to the above, it becomes possible to enter the parking device 100 and start work such as entering and leaving the vehicle, charging, etc. (step S121).

  When the work in the parking apparatus 100 is completed, the user performs an operation to close the safety gate 112 (step S131). However, at this point in time, no code is input again to the code input unit 130, and the code remains stored in the memory 131. Therefore, since control of the drive device 200 by the control panel 114 is invalidated and the interlock is in operation, the safety gate 112 does not move and the closing operation is not performed.

  When the code input by the user is accepted by the code input unit 130 (step S133), it is determined whether the code matches the code stored in the memory 131 (step S135). If the codes do not match (step S135; No), an error is displayed (step S137). The error display may be displayed on the interlock display unit 132, may be displayed on the display unit 124, or may be displayed on other display means.

  If the input code matches the code stored in the memory 131 (step S135; Yes), the code stored in the memory 131 is reset (erased) (step S141). As a result, the invalidation of the control by the drive device 200 is released, and the safety gate 112 operates to close (step S143).

  The code input (step S133) may be performed prior to the operation of closing the safety gate 112 (step S131). In this case, the safety gate 112 is immediately operated when the operation of closing the safety gate 112 is performed. Begins to close (step S143). Also, the order of the code reset (step S141) and the operation of closing the safety gate 112 (step S143) may be reversed.

  When the safety gate 112 is completely closed, the user can turn off the power and withdraw the operation key from the operation power switch 120 of the parking device operation panel 108 (step S145).

  According to the parking apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the interlock is activated by using the code determined by the user at the time of input by the code input unit 130 of the interlock operation panel 110, In order to release the lock, the same code is input again.

  Therefore, the release of the interlock can be limited to the user himself, and even when the user enters the parking apparatus 100 and works, other users do not know this code, so the parking apparatus operation panel is erroneously It is possible to prevent 108 from being operated. This makes it possible to prevent the safety gate 112 from closing even when another user operates the parking device operation panel 108 while the user is in the parking device 100. As a result, since the pallet 104 does not move, the safety of the user can be secured.

[Other embodiments]
Interlocks are used to prevent accidental operation of the device when the user enters the parking device and work, and to ensure the safety of the user. Therefore, the interlock may be added to the device to be subjected to the operation. .

  For example, the interlock control unit 152 may be provided so that the interlock operates in conjunction with the locking means 150 of the charging equipment 116 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 (see FIG. 7). The interlock control unit 152 operates the interlock when the locking means 150 is unlocked and the lid member 136 can be opened, and when the lid member 136 is closed and the locking means 150 is locked. A signal is output which causes the lock to be released.

  If this is demonstrated in FIG. 7, the signal of the interlock control part 152 of the charging equipment 116 will be input into the control panel 114 (path shown by the dotted line in FIG. 7). The interlock may be unlocked after a predetermined time has elapsed since the locking means 150 is locked.

  By unlocking the locking means 150 of the charging facility 116, the control of the drive device by the control panel 114 is invalidated and the interlock is activated, whereby a double safety function can be provided.

  Further, the supply of power for charging in the charging facility 116 may be limited after the interlock is released. In this way, the user not only closes the lid member 136 but also reliably locks the locking means 150, and also reliably performs the operation of releasing the interlock on the interlock operation panel 110. It is also possible to prevent the unlocking of the lock and the inability to operate by other users.
