In addition, when the storage reservation is started, the cart 5 is activated, and waits for reception of the vehicle 25 at a position adjacent to the storage lift 3.
In the warehousing berth, the arrival of the warehousing lift 3 is awaited, the user confirms that the vehicle 25 is in the unmanned state, and the unmanned confirmation button is pressed on the operation panel. Subsequently, operator authentication is performed by an IC card or the like by the operator, the safety of the storage berth 2 is confirmed by a monitor (not shown), and a safety confirmation button is pressed by the operation panel.
In the control device 50, when unmanned confirmation and safety confirmation are detected, the vehicle 25 is handed off from the warehousing berth 2 to the warehousing lift 3. When the warehousing lift 3 receives the vehicle 25 transversely, it lifts the load and arrives at the storage floor where the storage shelves 22 and 23 for storing the vehicle 25 are provided. The vehicle 25 is handed over from the loading lift 3 to the truck 5 waiting for interlocking on the storage floor. When the truck 5 receives the vehicle 25, the truck 5 travels in real load and stores the vehicle 25 in the storage rack.
Thus, for example, when the warehousing process is started, the warehousing lift and the carriage 5 operate to store the vehicle 25 in the storage shelves 22 and 23 along with the start of the warehousing process.

Next, an example of a conventional warehousing flow of the mechanical parking device 10 having a configuration in which a warehousing conveyor is disposed between the warehousing lift 3 and the carriage 5 will be described using FIG. 3.
The vehicle 25 is made to enter the receiving berth 2, and the driver of the vehicle 25 gets off the passenger. When the getting-off is confirmed, the operator of the mechanical parking device 10 performs operator authentication on the operation panel through the IC card etc., and the user who parks the vehicle 25 when the reading unit becomes readable. The parking ticket received from is read by the reading unit, and the goods receipt reservation is made.

When the storage reservation is started, the storage lift 3 is activated, and is lifted and lowered to wait for reception at the storage berth 2. In addition, when the reservation for storage is started, the storage conveyor and the carriage 5 are activated, and the storage conveyor is in an interlocking waiting state, and waits for reception of the vehicle 25 from the storage lift 3. Wait for receipt of 25.
In the warehousing berth 2, the arrival of the warehousing lift 3 is awaited, and the user confirms that the vehicle 25 is in the unmanned state, and the unmanned confirmation button is pressed on the operation panel. Subsequently, operator authentication is performed by an IC card or the like by the operator, the safety of the storage berth 2 is confirmed by the monitor, and the safety confirmation button is pressed by the operation panel.

In the control device 50, when unmanned confirmation and safety confirmation are detected, the vehicle 25 is handed off from the warehousing berth 2 to the warehousing lift 3. When the receiving lift 3 receives the vehicle 25 in a transverse direction, it lifts the load and arrives at the storage floor. From the receiving lift 3, the vehicle 25 is transversely delivered to the receiving conveyor. The warehousing conveyor laterally transports the received vehicle 25 to a position adjacent to the carriage 5 and delivers the carriage 25 transversely to the carriage 5. When the truck 5 receives the vehicle 25, the truck 5 travels in real load and stores the vehicle 25 in the storage rack.
Thus, for example, when the warehousing process is started, the warehousing lift, the warehousing conveyor, and the cart 5 operate to store the vehicle 25 in the storage shelves 22 and 23 along with the start of the warehousing process. Here, the warehousing process has been described as an example, but in the case of the delivery, when the delivery conveyor is provided between the carriage 5 and the delivery lift 8, the delivery conveyor receives the delivery vehicle from the carriage 5, The load is transversely transported from the position where it is received to the position adjacent to the delivery lift 8 and delivered to the delivery lift 8.

FIGS. 4 to 7 are diagrams for explaining the arrangement and control flow of the vehicle 25 on the storage racks 22 and 23 of the double row storage racks 12 and 13 of the mechanical parking device 10 according to the present embodiment. .
In FIG. 1, the conveyors provided on the storage racks 22 of the double-row type storage rack group 12 are referred to as crossfeed conveyors 15a and 15b, and the conveyors provided on the storage racks 23 of the double-row type storage rack group 13 are referred to as crossfeed conveyors 16a and 16b. Here, the conveyor provided between the carriage 5 and the storage lift 3 is referred to as a conveyor 30A, and the conveyor provided between the carriage 5 and the delivery lift 8 is described as a conveyor 30B. The mechanical parking device 10 includes conveyors 30A and 30B.
For example, when there is a delivery reservation of the vehicle 25 (for example, 印 mark) stored in the back shelf of the mechanical parking device 10, the unloading of the vehicle 25 (for example, Δ mark) stored in the front shelf The (evacuation) will be described.
When there is a delivery reservation of the vehicle 25 (for example, (mark) stored in the back shelf, the vehicle 25 (for example, △ mark) stored in the front shelf makes the delivery lift 8 the vehicle 25 to be delivered. Since the path to transport is blocked, the sub-conveyor not used in the delivery, that is, the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 is used as a loading rack and is unloaded on the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 (step STP1 in FIG. 4).

  At this time, even if there is a storage reservation of the vehicle 25 at a timing overlapping the timing of the delivery reservation, the conveyor (for example, the conveyor 30A) according to the present embodiment is a plurality of sub-conveyors (for example, the first storage sub-conveyors 30A1 and 30A1) Since the second receipt sub-conveyor 30A2 is provided, even if one sub-conveyor (for example, the first receipt sub-conveyor 30A1) is used for loading control, other sub-conveyors (for example, one sub-conveyor) , The second receiving sub-conveyor 30A2) can be used for the receiving process.

As the vehicle 25 of 印 mark is unloaded (retracted) on the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1, the vehicle 25 of ○ mark is placed on the first shelf via the front shelf which is vacant because the vehicle 25 of 印 mark is moved. [1] It is sent to the delivery sub-conveyor 30B1 (step STP2 in FIG. 4).
The second receiving sub-conveyor 30A2 that has received the vehicle 25 (for example, a □ mark) from the receiving lift 3 by the warehousing process passes the second receiving sub-conveyor 30A2 to the other first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 adjacent to the truck 5 side. We will deliver 25 (eg, □). At this time, when the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1 is under loading control, and the retracted vehicle 25 (for example, the Δ mark) is disposed, the second storage sub-conveyor 30A2 is the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1. Temporarily wait for the receipt process until

When the vehicle 25 (for example, 印 mark) to be delivered is handed over to the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1, it is delivered from the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1 to the second delivery sub-conveyor B2 and is further delivered from the second delivery sub-conveyor B2 Handed over to lift 8
As the vehicle 25 of ○ mark is delivered to the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1, the original storage racks 22 and 23 in which the vehicle 25 of Δ mark is stored becomes an empty shelf, and the cart 5 also becomes empty. Therefore, the vehicle 25 marked with Δ is delivered to the original storage racks 22 and 23 by the carriage 5 and subjected to the cargo return control (step STP3 in FIG. 5).
The warehousing vehicle (e.g., □ mark) of the second warehousing sub-conveyor 30A2 that has been temporarily in a standby state because the adjacent first warehousing sub-conveyor 30A1 is in use by the loading control is After completion of the return control, it is delivered to the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1. The transport control of the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 is controlled, and the receiving process of the vehicle 25 indicated by □ is continued.
When the vehicle 25 indicated by □ is a large vehicle, the vehicle 25 is stored in the storage racks 22 and 23 of the vacant large car rack Y (step STP4 in FIG. 5).

Although FIG. 6 describes the warehousing reservation first, if the warehousing reservation and the delivery reservation timing overlap even if either the warehousing reservation or the delivery reservation timing precedes, the first warehousing divided the conveyor 30A The sub conveyer 30A1 is used for loading control and the second storage sub conveyer 30A2 is used for transfer control, as described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
As shown in FIG. 6, the vehicle 25 is made to enter the receiving berth 2, and the driver of the vehicle 25 and the passenger get off. When the getting-off is confirmed, the operator of the mechanical parking device 10 performs operator authentication on the operation panel through the IC card etc., and the user who parks the vehicle 25 when the reading unit becomes readable. The parking ticket received from is read by the reading unit, and the goods receipt reservation is made.

When the storage reservation is started, the storage lift 3 is activated, and is lifted and lowered to wait for reception at the storage berth 2. Further, when the storage reservation is started, the second storage sub-conveyor 30A2 and the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1 are activated, and the storage floor waits for reception of the vehicle 25 and waits for interlocking.
In the warehousing berth 2, the arrival of the warehousing lift 3 is awaited, and the user confirms that the vehicle 25 is in the unmanned state, and the unmanned confirmation button is pressed on the operation panel. Subsequently, operator authentication is performed by an IC card or the like by the operator, the safety of the storage berth 2 is confirmed by the monitor, and the safety confirmation button is pressed by the operation panel.

In the control device 50, when unmanned confirmation and safety confirmation are detected, the vehicle 25 is handed off from the warehousing berth 2 to the warehousing lift 3. When the receiving lift 3 receives the vehicle 25 in a transverse direction, it lifts the load and arrives at the storage floor. The vehicle 25 is transversely delivered from the warehousing lift 3 to the second warehousing sub-conveyor 30A2 adjacent to the warehousing lift 3 (conveyance control).
At this time, if there is a vehicle 25 blocking the leaving on the route from when the leaving reservation enters and the leaving vehicle for which the leaving reservation has taken is transported to the leaving lift 8, the truck 5 receives the vehicle 25 blocking the leaving, It is necessary to evacuate to the position of
Even if the warehousing process is in operation, if the first warehousing sub-conveyor 30A1 is in the empty state, the truck 5 which has received the vehicle 25 blocking the leaving is an actual load up to the position adjacent to the first warehousing sub-conveyor 30A1. The vehicle 25 which travels and intercepts the delivery route of the delivery vehicle is delivered to the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1. Thus, the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1 is subjected to unloading control (see FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIG. 7, after the truck 5 delivers the vehicle 25 blocking the delivery route of the delivery vehicle to the loading rack (the first storage sub-conveyor 30A1), the truck 5 runs idle and stores the delivery vehicle. The vehicles 25 delivered from the racks 22 and 23 are transversely received. The truck 5 travels a load and traverses the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1. Thus, the truck 5 leaves the leaving vehicle. The first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1 traverses an actual load, and delivers it transversely to the second delivery sub-conveyor 30B2. Although illustration is omitted, when the vehicle 25 handed over from the second delivery sub-conveyor 30B2 to the delivery lift 8 arrives at the delivery berth 7 from the delivery lift 8, the driver operates and leaves the vehicle.

The truck 5 which has delivered the vehicle 25 to the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1 carries out the cargo return of the vehicle 25. When the truck 5 is idled and is adjacent to the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1, the truck 5 traverses the vehicle 25 from the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 and performs full load traveling to the positions of the original storage shelves 22 and 23, Be handed over rampant.
In addition, the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 that has become vacant due to the delivery of the evacuating vehicle 25 to the carriage 5 cross-receives the receiving vehicle from the second receiving sub-conveyor 30A2. The first storage sub-conveyor 30A1 waits for the carriage 5 to arrive, and traverses the storage vehicle to the carriage 5 when the truck 5 for which the unloading has been completed arrives with an empty load.
The dolly 5 travels in a load on the received warehousing vehicle, crosses over to the predetermined storage racks 22 and 23, and stores the vehicle 25.

In this way, when there is a vehicle 25 blocking the delivery on the route from which the delivery vehicle leaves, the vehicle 25 is temporarily retracted to the sub conveyer on the warehousing side which is not used in the delivery, so Even if it does not set up, the delivery vehicle can be taken out promptly. In addition, even when the loading process and the unloading process are executed at overlapping timings, the conveyor 30A is divided, so a sub-conveyor (for example, the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1) is used as a loading rack. Also, the warehousing process can be continued by providing another sub-conveyor (second warehousing sub-conveyor 30A2).
As described above, since the mechanical parking device 10 according to the present embodiment eliminates the need for the loading rack for temporarily unloading the vehicle 25, all the storage shelves 22 of the ordinary car shelf X and the large car shelf Y , 23, the vehicle 25 can be stored, and storage efficiency is good.

  As described above, according to the mechanical parking device 10 according to the present embodiment, the control device 50 thereof, the control method of the mechanical parking device 10, and the control program, and the repair method of the mechanical parking device 10 In the case of the mechanical parking apparatus 10 provided with the double row type storage rack group 12 and 13 in which the racks 22 and 23 have front racks 22a and 23a and back racks 22b and 23b, vehicles stored in the back racks 22b and 23b In order to issue 25, it is necessary to temporarily retract the vehicle 25 stored in the front shelves 22 a and 23 a to the other storage shelves 22 and 23. Conventionally, since the storage racks 22 and 23 are secured for evacuation, the number of storages as the mechanical parking device 10 is reduced by the amount secured for evacuation.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, the conveyors 30A and 30B of the mechanical parking device 10 are in a divided state, so the loading vehicle is mounted on the sub-conveyor on the other end (for example, the second receiving sub-conveyor 30A2). There are other sub-conveyors sized to mount the vehicle, even if placed. The other sub-conveyors can be operated independently of the sub-conveyor on which the storage vehicle is mounted, so that the loading vehicle can be mounted. As a result, the other sub-conveyors, for example, the first receiving sub-conveyor 30A1 can be used as a space for evacuation, and it is not necessary to secure the evacuation racks 22 and 23. The vehicle 25 can be stored in the storage unit 22 to prevent the storage efficiency of the storage racks 22 and 23 of the mechanical parking unit 10 from being lowered.

[Modification 1]
In the above embodiment, the first loading sub-conveyor 30A1 of the conveyor 30A on the loading side is caused to perform temporary loading control to load the vehicle 25 that blocks the loading, but the conveyor 30B on the loading side is divided In this case, the conveyor 30B on the delivery side may be used as a loading rack.
For example, when leaving the vehicle 25 to the storage berth 2 due to circumstances where the driver left behind in the vehicle, etc., the processing of the storage reservation is advanced (or completed), and the vehicle that you want to leave the storage berth 2 When there is a vehicle 25 blocking the route on the route to 25 and the loading lift 3, the vehicle 25 blocking the route is temporarily unloaded on the first delivery sub-conveyor 30B1. By doing so, even in the mechanical parking device 10 in which the loading rack is not provided, the vehicle 25 can be promptly output to the storage berth 2.
Moreover, in the case of the mechanical parking apparatus 10 which does not have the function to make the warehousing berth 2 go out, it is not necessary to divide the conveyor 30B by the side of delivery.

[Modification 2]
In the above embodiment, one carriage 5 is provided, and the conveyor 30A between the storage lift 3 and the carriage 5 and the conveyor 30B between the delivery lift 8 and the carriage 5 are divided as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a double row type storage rack group 13 in which the loading lift 3 or the loading lift 8 is provided, and a plurality of double row storage shelf groups 12a in which the loading lift 3 or the loading lift 8 is not provided. , 12b, 12c, a plurality of carriages 5, and a plurality of carriage travel paths (lanes) 4a, 4b for causing the carriages 5 to travel, the present invention may be applied to a mechanical parking device 10 '.

For example, when the vehicle 25 is stored in the double row type storage rack group 12c at the time of storage, the mechanical parking device 10 'needs to cause the vehicle 25 to pass through the inter-lane conveyor 60A provided between the bogie travel paths 4a and 4b. When leaving the vehicle 25 stored in the double-row type storage rack group 12c (see line L1 in FIG. 8), it is necessary to pass the vehicle 25 through the inter-lane conveyor 60B provided between the bogie travel paths 4a and 4b. (See line L2 in FIG. 8).
In the second modification, the inter-lane conveyors 60A and 60B are divided into a plurality of sub-conveyor inter-lane sub-conveyors. For example, the inter-lane conveyors 60A and 60B may be sub-conveyors 60A1 and 60B1 which are sub-conveyors adjacent to the carriage 5 and a second-inter-lane sub-conveyor 60A2 which is a sub-conveyor not adjacent to the carriage 5. Divide into 60B2.

The first inter-lane sub-conveyors 60A1 and 60B1 are subjected to loading control when being used as a loading rack, and are controlled to be carried when loading and unloading the vehicle 25.
The second inter-lane sub-conveyors 60A2 and 60B2 are used to control transport of the vehicle 25 to be stored and unloaded.
The control device 50 independently controls the first inter-lane sub-conveyor 60A1 and the second inter-lane sub-conveyor 60A2, and independently controls the first inter-lane sub-conveyor 60B1 and the second inter-lane sub-conveyor 60B2. .
As described above, the inter-lane conveyors 60A and 60B provided between the lanes are also divided into a plurality of sub-conveyors of the inter-lane conveyors 60A and 60B for transporting the loading and unloading and for unloading bins (for evacuation). It can be divided and used to improve storage efficiency.
