  The CPU includes a conveyance control unit 44, a power reception device management unit 45, an output control unit 46, and a switching control unit 47. The transfer control unit 44 controls the transfer of the pallet 16 at the time of storage and storage. Further, at the time of storage, the conveyance control unit 44 selects and sets the conveyance destination of the pallet 16 on which the vehicle 12 is placed between the normal storage rack 18 and the charging rack 18E. The power reception device management unit 45 manages the location and the state of each power reception device 30. The output control unit 46 controls the output operation of the output unit 28a. The switching control unit 47 sets the arrangement of the pallets 16 in the storage unit 20, and switches the position of the pallets 16 so as to be the set arrangement.

  The HDD 43 has a storage rack information storage unit 48, a guidance information storage unit 49, a power reception device information storage unit 50, and a control program storage unit 51. The storage rack information storage unit 48 stores storage rack information. The storage rack information includes information on the number and arrangement of the charging racks 18E among the plurality of storage racks 18 and information on the number and positions of the other storage racks 18.

  The guidance information storage unit 49 stores guidance information. The guidance information includes first output information, second output information, and third output information. The first output information includes at least one of information guiding removal of the power receiving device 30 and information notifying that the mounting state has been detected, when the mounting state is detected when the vehicle 12 is removed. . As for the second output information, if neither the mounting state nor the storage state is detected at the time of storage of the vehicle 12, whether to mount the power receiving device 30 on the pallet 16 or store the power receiving device 30 in the storage unit 27 And at least one of information for notifying that neither the mounted state nor the storage state is detected. The third output information is at least one of information for guiding the power receiving device 30 to be stored in the storage unit when the storage state is not detected at the time of leaving the vehicle 12, and information for notifying that the storage state is not detected. including. These pieces of guidance information include information such as characters, images, and sounds, and are output from the output unit 28a. For example, the guidance information may be composed of human voice or may be composed of sounds such as an alarm or melody.

  The power receiving device information storage unit 50 stores power receiving device information. The power reception device information includes identification information for identifying the power reception device 30, location information on a location where the power reception device 30 is disposed, and status information on a status of the power reception device 30. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data table of power reception device information stored in the power reception device information storage unit 50. As shown in FIG. 11, in the power receiving device information storage unit 50, the above-described identification information ("NO." Column), location information ("place" column), and state information ("status" column) receive power. Each device 30 is stored in association with one another.

  For example, a management number of the power receiving device 30 is stored as the identification information. As the location information, when the power receiving device 30 is in the storage and retrieval unit 14, “storage and retrieval unit” is stored, and when the power reception device 30 is in the storage 20, “storage” is stored. As the state information, for example, "in use" is stored when the power receiving device 30 is in the mounted state, and "stored" is stored when the power receiving device 30 is in the storage state. If there is neither, it is stored as "detaching". In addition, when the location where the power receiving device 30 is disposed or the state of the power receiving device 30 is changed, the location is updated each time.

  The control program storage unit 51 stores a control program for setting the transfer destination of the pallet 16. The control program causes the computer to execute a process of transporting the charging pallet 16E to the charging rack 18E when the power receiving device 30 is attached to the pallet 16 and becomes the charging pallet 16E at the time of vehicle warehousing. In addition, when the power receiving device 30 is not attached to the pallet 16 at the time of vehicle warehousing, the control program causes the computer to execute a process of transporting the pallet 16 to the storage shelf 18 different from the charging shelf 18E.

  The control unit 24 also controls a motor control unit 52 for controlling a motor (not shown) for driving the pallet 16 and the lift 22 etc., and a sensor (not shown) for detecting the operation state of the pallet 16 and the lift 22 etc. And a sensor signal receiving unit 53 for receiving the signal of. The sensor signal reception unit 53 can receive detection signals of various detection units such as the movement detection unit 23, the attachment detection unit 25, and the storage detection unit 29 described above.

  The CPU 40, the RAM 41, the ROM 42, the HDD 43, the motor control unit 52, the sensor signal receiving unit 53, and the control panel 28 are electrically connected to one another via the system bus 54. Therefore, the CPU 40 accesses the RAM 41, the ROM 42, and the HDD 43, grasps the operation state of the operation panel 28 and displays an image, drives the motor via the motor control unit 52, and the pallet 16 via the sensor signal receiving unit 53. The operation state of the lift 22 or the like can be grasped.

  Note that, instead of the HDD 43, a storage element such as an SSD (Solid State Drive), an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), a flash memory, or an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) with battery backup may be used. Depending on the type of data such as user information and setting values, storage elements may be used selectively.

  Subsequently, the operation of the mechanical parking device 10 configured as described above will be described. First, the case where a vehicle 12 different from the electric vehicle 12E is stored and stored as the vehicle 12 will be described.

  When the user inputs a storage instruction into the operation panel 28, the control device 24 performs a storage process. In the storage process, the control device 24 first selects one empty pallet 16 on which the vehicle 12 is not placed, and moves the pallet 22 to the lift 22 in the horizontal direction. Thereafter, the control device 24 lifts the pallet 16 by the lift 22 and moves it to the loading / unloading unit 14. After the pallet 16 is placed in the loading / unloading section 14, the controller 24 causes the door 26 to open. In the mechanical parking device 10, when the storage operation is not performed for a predetermined period, the empty pallet 16 is disposed in the storage and retrieval unit 14 in preparation for the next storage. Therefore, in this case, when the user inputs a storage instruction, the control device 24 opens the door 26. After the door 26 is opened, the control device 24 instructs the user to place the vehicle 12 on the pallet 16 of the loading / unloading unit 14 via the output unit 28 a of the operation panel 28. After the vehicle 12 is placed on the pallet 16 and the user goes out of the loading and unloading unit 14, the control device 24 closes the door 26 and lowers the pallet 16 on which the vehicle 12 is loaded by the lift 22. . Thereafter, the control device 24 (the transport control unit 44) moves the pallet 16 in the horizontal direction and stores the pallet 16 in the storage shelf 18. This completes the warehousing process.

  In addition, when the user inputs an instruction for the withdrawal from the operation panel 28, the control device 24 performs a delivery process. In the delivery process, the control device 24 selects the pallet 16 on which the vehicle 12 of the user who issued the delivery instruction is placed, and moves the pallet 16 to the lift 22 in the horizontal direction. Thereafter, the control device 24 lifts the pallet 16 by the lift 22 and moves it to the loading / unloading unit 14. After the pallet 16 is disposed in the loading / unloading section 14, the control device 24 opens the door 26 and takes the vehicle 12 out of the loading / unloading section 14 to the user via the output section 28 a of the operation panel 28. Instruct After the vehicle 12 is taken out of the loading / unloading unit 14, the control device 24 closes the door 26 and lowers the pallet 16 by the lift 22. Thereafter, the controller 24 moves the pallet 16 horizontally to return it to the storage rack 18. This completes the delivery process.

  Subsequently, a case where the electric vehicle 12E is received as the vehicle 12 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing the flow of the storage operation of the electric vehicle 12E. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing operations of the user, the vehicle 12 (the electric vehicle 12E) and the pallet 16 in association with one another. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

  By making the power receiving device 30 detachable, the waiting time for warehousing is shortened. The operation from the input of the warehousing instruction by the user to the opening of the door 26 is the same as described above. When the storage instruction is issued, it may be input that the vehicle 12 to be stored from now is the electric vehicle 12E. After the door 26 is opened, the electric vehicle 12E is carried into the loading / unloading unit 14 by the user and placed on the pallet 16. The control device 24 detects that the electric vehicle 12E is placed on the pallet 16 (step S01).

  Next, the user gets off the electric vehicle 12E and takes out the power receiving device 30 from the storage unit 27. Before the power receiving device 30 is taken out, the storage detection unit 29 detects the storage state. When the user takes out the power receiving device 30, the storage detection unit 29 does not detect the storage state (non-detection state). Note that the power receiving device 30 is not attached to the pallet 16 at this stage, and the attachment detection unit 25 is in a non-detection state. Therefore, when the storage state is not detected (YES in step S02), the power receiving apparatus management unit 45 changes the status information of the power receiving apparatus 30 from "during storage" to "detaching" (step S03). When the storage state is not undetected (NO in step S02), the power receiving device management unit 45 holds the state of the power receiving device 30 as "during storage". Note that after step S01, the output control unit 46 may output guidance information so that the user receiving the electric vehicle 12E takes out the power receiving device 30 from the storage unit 27, for example. In addition, the storage unit 27 may be configured to be lockable, and the lock may be released when it is input that the storage vehicle is the electric vehicle 12E.

  Next, when the user mounts the power receiving device 30 on the pallet 16, the mounting detection unit 25 detects the mounting state. Therefore, when the mounting state is detected (YES in step S04), the power receiving device management unit 45 changes the state information of the power receiving device 30 from "during / removing" to "in use" (step S5). The power reception device management unit 45 holds the state information of the power reception device 30 as "during / removing" until the mounting state is detected by the mounting detection unit 25 (NO in step S04). Note that after step S03, the output control unit 46 may output the guidance information so that the power receiving device 30 is attached to the pallet 16. By attaching the power receiving device 30 to the pallet 16, the attribute of the pallet 16 is changed to the charging pallet 16E.

  Next, the user connects the charging cable 12C of the electric vehicle 12E to the connector 32 of the power receiving device 30. Thus, the electric vehicle 12E and the power receiving device 30 are electrically connected. Thereafter, the control device 24 stands by until the user performs the storage operation (NO in step S06). When the storage operation is performed (YES in step S06), the transport control unit 44 transports the charging pallet 16E to the storage case 20. At this time, since the mounting state is detected, the conveyance control unit 44 causes the charging pallet 16E to be conveyed to the charging shelf 18E (step S07).

  On the other hand, when the loading state is not detected in the state where the user takes out the power receiving device 30 (NO in step S04) and the warehousing operation is performed in this state (YES in step S08), the output control unit 46 The second output information is output to the output unit 28a (step S09). By outputting the second output information from the output unit 28a, the user can be urged to wear or store the power receiving device 30. As a result, it is possible to prevent the power receiving device 30 from being loaded without being properly installed, and to prevent the power receiving device 30 from being stolen or lost, and to perform the loading operation smoothly.

  After the second output information is output, when the mounting state is detected (YES in step S10), the power receiving device management unit 45 changes the state information of the power receiving device 30 from "during / removing" to "in use". (Step S11). In addition, when the power receiving device 30 is mounted on the pallet 16, the attribute of the pallet 16 is changed to the charging pallet 16E. Thereafter, the control device 24 performs the process of step S07 and subsequent steps.

  On the other hand, after the second output information is output, when the attachment state is not detected and the storage state is detected (NO in step S10, YES in step S12), the power reception device management unit 45 detects the storage state of the power reception device 30. The state information is changed from "detaching" to "during storage" (step S13). By storing the power receiving device 30 in the storage unit 27, the attribute of the pallet 16 is held unchanged. Therefore, the transport control unit 44 transports the pallet 16 to the ordinary storage shelf 18 (step S14).

  In addition, after the second output information is output, if the mounting state is not detected and the storage state is not detected (NO in step S12), the control device 24 returns to step S09 to perform the process again. . Thus, the control device 24 causes the storage process to wait until the mounting state or the storage state is detected. As a result, it is possible to suppress that the power receiving device is not loaded properly and that the power receiving device is stolen or lost.

  Electric vehicle 12E is received by charging pallet 16E being arranged on charging rack 18E or pallet 16 being arranged on storage rack 18. After the warehousing is completed, the power receiving device management unit 45 changes the location information of the power receiving device 30 from the "entry and exit unit" to the "storage" (step S15). Thus, the storage process of the electric vehicle 12E is completed.

  After the charging pallet 16E is stored in the storage unit 20, the control device 24 may perform the following control by the switching control unit 47. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing control of the charging pallet 16E after storage. As shown in FIG. 14, the switching control unit 47 detects whether the number of charging pallets 16E stored in the storage 20 is larger than the number of charging shelves 18E (step S16). When the number of charging pallets 16E is larger (YES in step S16), the switching control unit 47 switches the charging pallets 16E disposed on the charging rack 18E at a predetermined timing (step S17). In this case, the predetermined timing may be, for example, the timing at which a certain time has elapsed, the timing at which a new electric vehicle 12E is stored, the timing at which the electric vehicle 12E is being discharged, the timing at which the electric vehicle 12E is fully charged Can be mentioned. Thereby, the number of chargeable electric vehicles 12E can be increased without increasing the number of power transmission devices 60.

  Subsequently, a case where the electric vehicle 12E is delivered will be described. Hereinafter, the case where the electric vehicle 12E is mounted on the charging pallet 16E on which the power receiving device 30 is mounted will be described as an example. FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing the flow of the delivery operation of the electric vehicle 12E. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the operation of the user, the vehicle 12 (the electric vehicle 12E) and the pallet 16 in association with one another. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  First, when the user inputs an exit instruction to the operation panel 28 (YES in step S21), the transport control unit 44 moves the charging pallet 16E on which the electric vehicle 12E is loaded to the loading / unloading unit 14 (step S22). After the charging pallet 16E is disposed in the loading / unloading section 14, the power receiving apparatus management section 45 changes the location information of the power receiving apparatus 30 mounted on the charging pallet 16E from the "storage" to the "entry / exit section" (step S23).

  Next, the user pulls out the charging cable 12C of the electric vehicle 12E from the connector 32 of the power receiving device 30. Thereby, the electrical connection between the electric vehicle 12E and the power receiving device 30 is disconnected. Thereafter, for example, when the user removes the power receiving device 30, the mounting detection unit 25 does not detect the mounting state. Therefore, when the mounting state is not detected (YES in step S24), the power receiving device management unit 45 changes the state information of the power receiving device 30 (step S25).

  Thereafter, for example, when the user stores the removed power receiving device 30 in the storage unit 27, the storage detection unit 29 detects the storage state. Therefore, when the storage state is detected (YES in step S26), the power receiving device management unit 45 changes the state information of the power receiving device 30 (step S27). After the state information of the power receiving device 30 is updated, the output control unit 46 outputs an instruction to the user to exit the electric vehicle 12E via the output unit 28a (step S28).

  On the other hand, in step S24, when movement of the electric vehicle 12E is detected in a state where the attachment state is not undetected (NO in step S24, YES in step S29), the output control unit 46 outputs 1 Output information is output (step S30). By outputting the first output information, the user can be prompted to remove the power receiving device 30. Thereby, smooth delivery operation can be performed.

  After that, the control device 24 performs the process after step S24 again. For example, when the user recognizes the first output information and then removes the power receiving device 30 from the charging pallet 16E (YES in step S24), the control device 24 performs processing in step S25 and subsequent steps.

  In step S26, when movement of the electric vehicle 12E is detected in a state where the storage state is not detected (NO in step S26, YES in step S31), the output control unit 46 outputs the third output information to the output unit 28a. The output is made (step S32). By outputting the third output information, it is possible to urge the user to store the power receiving device 30. Thus, the power receiving device 30 can be prevented from being stolen or lost, and smooth leaving can be performed.

  After that, the control device 24 performs the process after step S26 again. For example, when the user recognizes the third output information and then stores the power receiving device 30 in the storage unit 27 (YES in step S26), the change of the state information (step S27) and the output of the exit instruction (step S28) It will be. Thus, the exit of the electric vehicle 12E can be made to stand by until the storage state is reached.

  When storing an electric vehicle, in a conventional mechanical parking device having a charging pallet with a fixed power receiving device, charging is performed when the charging pallet is disposed only at a position away from the lift. It takes time to transport the pallet to the loading / unloading unit. Further, in such a conventional mechanical parking device, when arranging a vacant pallet in the loading / unloading unit in preparation for the next storage, a pallet not having a charging facility is generally arranged. Therefore, when a storage instruction of the electric vehicle is issued, it is necessary to return the empty pallet prepared in the storage and retrieval unit to the storage rack, and then transport the charging pallet from the storage rack to the storage and storage unit again. Thus, when the electric vehicle is received, the waiting time for the reception becomes long.

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, by mounting the detachable power receiving device 30 on the pallet 16 not having the fixed type power receiving device, the pallet 16 becomes the charging pallet 16E, and the charging pallet 16E 12E can be charged. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of replacing the pallets when storing the electric vehicle 12E. Thereby, it is possible to suppress an increase in waiting time when storing the electric vehicle 12E. In addition, it is possible to easily switch between the charging pallet 16E and the pallet 16 on which the type of vehicle not to be charged is placed only by attaching the power receiving device 30 to the pallet 16. As a result, when the charging facility is newly installed in the mechanical parking device 10, a large-scale remodeling work of the pallet 16 becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the mechanical parking device 10 having the charging facility can be realized at low cost.

  The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the loading and unloading of the vehicle 12 are performed by one lift 22 in the loading and unloading unit 14 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, application of the present invention is possible even if a plurality of storage and retrieval units are provided and configured. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing another example of the data table of the power receiving device information stored in the power receiving device information storage unit 50. As shown in FIG. When a plurality of storage and retrieval units are provided, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 17, which storage and retrieval unit is disposed among the plurality of storage and retrieval units is managed as location information of the power receiving device 30. Thereby, even when a plurality of storage and retrieval units are provided, power reception device 30 can be managed reliably.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment gave and demonstrated the example which stores the receiving device 30 in the storage part 27, it does not limit to this. For example, the power receiving device 30 may be handed to the user individually, and the user may manage the power receiving device 30 by himself. In this case, at the time of storage, the user stores the power receiving device 30 in, for example, the trunk of the vehicle 12 (the electric vehicle 12E) and takes out when mounted on the pallet 16. Also, when leaving the home, the user removes the power receiving device 30 from the charging pallet 16E and stores it in the trunk of the electric vehicle 12E. Thereby, the convenience of the user is improved, and the management burden on the power receiving device 30 on the mechanical parking device 10 side can be reduced.

  Further, in the above embodiment, after the warehousing operation is detected in step S08 (YES in step S08), the warehousing operation is performed after that even if the power receiving device 30 is mounted or stored. Although the described example has been described, it is not limited thereto. For example, after the storage operation is detected and the second output information is output, the control device 24 may perform the processing after step S04 again. Thus, the storage process can be prevented from being performed until the mounting state is detected at the time of storage.
