The emergency stop button 37, the lock portion 38, the key cylinder 38a, the RF reception antenna 48, the LF transmission antenna 46, the transponder reader 36, and the like are connected to the emergency stop button 37. The transponder reader 36 emits an electromagnetic wave EMW.

  On the other hand, the remote control transmitter 50 has a built-in remote control control unit 68, and the above-described authentication button 52, start button 53, door open button 54, transmission lamp 55, etc. are connected to the remote control control unit 68. Further, the remote control transmitter 50 has a replaceable battery 70 incorporated therein to supply power to the remote control control unit 68. Further, the remote controller control unit 68 includes a battery remaining amount sensor 71, an RF transmission antenna 72 (remote control signal transmission unit), an LF reception antenna 73 (remote control collation signal reception unit), a transponder 74 (no power supply authentication signal transmission unit), and the like. It is connected.

  The RF transmission antenna 72 of the remote control transmitter 50 is an antenna that transmits various remote control signals SA, SB, SC to the RF reception antenna 48 of the operation panel 22. Here, SA is a remote control ID signal, which is transmitted by the user operating the authentication button 52 or the start button 53 of the remote control transmitter 50. Further, SB is a machine operation signal, and SC is a battery level warning signal. The LF reception antenna 73 is an antenna that receives the remote control verification signal SD transmitted from the LF transmission antenna 46 of the operation panel 22.

  The transponder 74 of the remote control transmitter 50 stores the authentication information of the user and excites itself by receiving the electromagnetic wave EMW transmitted from the transponder reader 36 of the operation panel 22 without using the power of the battery 70. It is configured to generate and activate electric power, convert the authentication information of the user into a powerless authentication signal SE, and transmit it to the operation panel 22.

  The battery remaining amount sensor 71 is a so-called AD converter that monitors the remaining amount of the battery 70, detects an analog value of the voltage of the battery 70 and converts it into a digital value, and outputs the result to the remote controller control unit 68. It is designed to be input at any time.

  The transponder reader 36 of the operation panel 22 emits the electromagnetic wave EMW and receives the powerless authentication signal SE transmitted from the transponder 74 of the remote control transmitter 50 when the remote control transmitter 50 approaches within a predetermined distance. It has become.

  Then, as will be described later, the operation panel 22 receives the remote control signal (remote control ID signal SA) from the RF reception antenna 48 twice or the non-power supply authentication signal SE is received from the transponder reader 36. Authentication (hereinafter referred to as "user authentication") can be performed.

  By providing the transponder reader 36 and the transponder 74, even if the battery 70 of the remote control transmitter 50 runs out and the remote control function is lost, the user can be authenticated and can use the multilevel parking apparatus 1. That is, if the mechanical key 56 attached to the remote control transmitter 50 unlocks the operation panel 22 to open the lid 34 and brings the remote control transmitter 50 close to the transponder reader 36, no power is supplied in response to the electromagnetic wave EMW. The authentication signal SE is transmitted. As a result, the ID authentication is performed, the operation screen 35 is activated, and the user can manually operate the operation screen 35 to perform the warehousing/unloading operation.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the remote control transmitter 50 outputs a remote control signal when the remaining amount of the battery 70 falls below a predetermined value (for example, about 2.5 V for a battery that normally has a normal voltage of 3 V). At the time of transmission, the battery level warning signal SC is transmitted at the same time.
On the other hand, when the operation panel 22 (operation panel control unit 65) receives this battery level warning signal SC, it warns the user that the battery level is low. Specifically, the display screen 41 of the lid 34 of the operation panel 22 displays "Please replace the batteries of the remote controller" and also gives a voice warning. At the same time, for example, the three-color lamps 23 and 42 shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 5 may be switched from the lighting display to the blinking display.

In this way, the user is warned that the battery 70 of the remote control transmitter 50 is low, so that the user can recognize that the battery is low and can promptly recognize that the battery is low. It is possible to prevent malfunction of the remote control transmitter 50 by replacing the battery.

  Now, the operation panel control unit 65 built in the operation panel 22 causes the LF transmission antenna 46 to transmit the remote control verification signal SD when the user is authenticated. Specifically, the user or the vehicle 2 stops in front of the operation panel 22, the user detection unit 47 detects this and sends a trigger signal, and only while the trigger signal is being sent, the remote controller collation signal. It is designed to send SD.

  On the other hand, when the remote control collation signal SD transmitted from the LF transmission antenna 46 of the operation panel 22 as described above is received by the LF reception antenna 73, the remote control control unit 68 of the remote control transmitter 50 transmits the remote control signal in response thereto. The remote control ID signal SA is automatically returned from the section 72.

  The operation panel control unit 65 then collates the remote control transmitter 50 by receiving the remote control ID signal SA automatically returned from the remote control signal transmission unit 72. Specifically, the user corresponding to the transmitted remote control ID signal SA is specified from the user registration information stored in the database 61. This is the first ID collation.

  At the same time when the first ID collation is performed, the operation panel control section 65 displays an authentication request display requesting the user to operate the authentication button 52 of the remote control transmitter 50 on the display screen 41. For example, "Please press the authentication button on the remote control" is displayed on the display screen 41. The contents of this display may be simultaneously announced by voice.

  The user who confirms the authentication request display displayed on the display screen 41 in this way operates the authentication button 52 to retransmit the remote control ID signal SA, and the retransmitted remote control ID signal SA is the RF of the operation panel 22. When the reception antenna 48 receives the signal, the operation panel control unit 65 performs ID verification of the remote control transmitter 50 again. This is the second ID verification.

  Then, when the collation result (user ID) in the first ID collation and the collation result (user ID) in the second ID collation match, the operation panel control unit 65 establishes the ID authentication of the user, and The shipping operation is started. Specifically, for example, the activation button 53 of the remote control transmitter 50 is validated, and the user is instructed to operate the activation button 53. Alternatively, more directly, it is conceivable to start calling an empty pallet 18 at the time of warehousing and start calling the pallet 18 equipped with a unloading vehicle at the time of warehousing.

  As described above, the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment authenticates the user by the remote control transmitter 50 that is carried by the user and that transmits the remote control ID signal that is the signalized authentication information of the user. .. The users of the multi-level parking device 1 include, for example, a driver of the vehicle 2 as well as an administrator of the multi-level parking device 1.

FIG. 9 is a top view of the passenger compartment 7 according to the first embodiment. An evacuation space 75 (evacuation site) is provided in the passenger compartment 7. The evacuation space 75 is provided in a safe area away from the movable device, avoiding a place where the movable device such as the turntable 8 is installed. In addition, in FIG. 9, a part of the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is omitted.
FIG. 10 is an external view of the safety confirmation unit 78 installed in the evacuation space 75.

  A plurality of evacuation spaces 75 are provided in the boarding/alighting room 7 according to the first embodiment, and in the example of FIG. 9, they are provided at four corners of the boarding/alighting room 7 (evacuation spaces 75_1 to 75_4). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the evacuation spaces 75 may be provided in other areas as long as they are plural, such as only the two opposite corners or the center of the four sides of the passenger compartment 7. In addition, notation 79 (see FIG. 10) indicating the identification number (character or numeral) of the evacuation space 75 is provided in each evacuation space 75 so that the user can easily recognize the location of the evacuation space 75. ..

  On the other hand, the inside of the circular line 76 in FIG. 9 is a dangerous area because the pallet 18 is transported and the turntable 8 rotates when the multi-level parking device 1 is in an operating state.

  The evacuation space 75 is separated by a line (hereinafter referred to as “evacuation line”) 77 from the inside and outside of the evacuation space 75. The evacuation line 77 is, for example, a white line, but light emitting means (fluorescent lamps or a plurality of LEDs) may be installed on the floor along the evacuation line 77. The user can easily recognize the location of the evacuation space 75 by blinking the light emitting means.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, a safety confirmation unit 78 including an emergency stop button 80, a retreat space LF antenna 81, and a user detection unit 82 is installed in each retreat space 75. The safety confirmation unit 78 is installed, for example, on the wall surface provided with the evacuation space 75.

  The emergency stop button 80 is a button for stopping the multi-level parking device 1 in an emergency.

The evacuation space LF antenna 81 transmits a remote control collation signal requesting the remote control transmitter 50 to transmit a remote control ID signal. That is, the evacuation space LF antenna 81 is an antenna similar to the LF transmission antenna 46 described above, and the arrival distance of the remote control verification signal transmitted from the evacuation space LF antenna 81 is within the evacuation space 75 in which it is installed. Has been done.
Further, the retreat space LF antenna 81 transmits an identification signal indicating the retreat space 75 in which the retreat space LF antenna 81 is installed (hereinafter referred to as “reserve space ID signal”) together with the remote controller collation signal. The identification signal is, for example, the same as the number indicated by the notation 79 described above.
When the remote control transmitter 50 receives the remote control collation signal and the save space ID signal, it transmits the received save space ID signal together with its own remote control ID signal.

  The user detection unit 82 is a detection unit that detects that a user or the like has entered the evacuation space 75, a so-called human sensor.

  Further, in the boarding/alighting room 7, an indoor RF antenna 83 for receiving the remote control ID signal and the escape space ID signal transmitted from the remote control transmitter 50 is provided (see also FIG. 2). The field RF antenna 83 is an antenna similar to the RF receiving antenna 48 described above.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment. The safety device 85 mainly includes a safety confirmation unit 78, a field RF antenna 83, and a field control unit 86. In FIG. 11, the main control unit 30 and the on-site control unit 86 are shown as different units, but the main control unit 30 may include the on-site control unit 86.

The on-site control unit 86 has a function as a determination unit that determines whether or not safety confirmation is performed inside the passenger compartment 7 based on the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal received by the on-site RF antenna 83. .
Further, the on-site controller 86 causes the evacuation space LF antennas 81_1 to 81_4 to transmit remote controller collation signals, and the detection signals from the user detectors 82_1 to 82_4 are input.

  Next, the processing content of the safety device 85 will be described.

When the user enters the evacuation space 75, the user detection unit 82 detects the user and outputs a detection signal to the on-site control unit 86. When the detection signal from the user detection unit 82 is input, the on-site control unit 86 controls the remote control collation signal and the evacuation to the evacuation space LF antenna 81 installed in the same evacuation space 75 as the user detection unit 82 that has detected the user. Send a space ID signal.
That is, when the user carrying the remote control transmitter 50 enters the evacuation space 75, the remote control transmitter 50 receives the remote control collation signal transmitted by the evacuation space LF antenna 81, and accordingly, the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space. Send an ID signal. The remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal are received by the on-site RF antenna 83 installed in the passenger compartment 7. As described above, it is considered that the user has moved to the evacuation space 75 by the reception of the remote control ID signal by the on-site RF antenna 83, and the user has performed safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7 in the evacuation space 75.

  When the evacuation space ID signals corresponding to all the evacuation spaces 75 are received by the on-site RF antenna 83, the indoor control unit 86 determines that the safety confirmation inside the passenger compartment 7 has been completed. After that, the on-site control unit 86 transmits a safety confirmation end signal indicating the end of safety confirmation to the main control unit 30. Upon receiving the safety confirmation end signal, the main control unit 30 enables the operation panel 22 to be operated.

  As described above, according to the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment, it is determined that the safety confirmation from the evacuation space 75 is performed by the user having the remote control transmitter 50 entering the evacuation space 75. To do. Therefore, since it is not necessary to install a button for safety confirmation in the evacuation space 75, the safety device 85 operates in the evacuation space 75 inside the passenger compartment 7 without causing an erroneous operation of the button in the passenger compartment 7 by the user. Enables safety confirmation. Further, since the remote controller ID signal is transmitted from the remote controller transmitter 50 only when the user enters the evacuation space 75, and whether or not there is a safety confirmation in the evacuation space 75 is determined, the user can confirm the safety inside the passenger compartment 7. It becomes easy.

Furthermore, the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment may include an informing unit that informs the user of the procedure of safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7. The notifying means is, for example, a speaker, and notifies the user by voice (hereinafter referred to as “voice guidance”) that the passengers will sequentially move to the evacuation spaces 75 installed at the four corners of the passenger compartment 7.
Further, the light emitting means along the evacuation line 77 may blink as the notification means. Specifically, when the vehicle 2 is a right-hand drive, the light emitting means corresponding to the evacuation space 75 on the right front side of the vehicle blinks to prompt the user to move. After the user moves to the evacuation space 75 and causes the remote control transmitter 50 to transmit a remote control verification signal, the light emitting means corresponding to the evacuation space 75 on the right rear side of the vehicle blinks. Further, thereafter, the light emitting means along the evacuation line 77 are sequentially blinked such that the vehicle left rear and the vehicle left front. At this time, voice guidance may be performed at the same time.

On the other hand, when the vehicle 2 is the left steering wheel, for example, the light emitting means blinks in the order of the front left side of the vehicle, the rear left side of the vehicle, the rear right side of the vehicle, and the front right side of the vehicle.
The steering wheel position of the vehicle 2 is determined by the on-site controller 86 based on the detection signals from the human/vehicle sensors 26 and 27. That is, when the vehicle 2 is a right-hand drive, the driver descends from the right side, so the human/vehicle sensors 26 and 27 on the right side of the vehicle output detection signals. On the other hand, when the vehicle 2 is the left-hand drive, the driver descends from the left side, so the human/vehicle sensors 26 and 27 on the left side of the vehicle output detection signals.

  With the above notification means, even a user who is not accustomed to using the multi-level parking apparatus 1 can easily understand the procedure for confirming the safety inside the passenger compartment 7.

12 and 13 are flowcharts showing a flow of safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7 when the vehicle 2 is stored in the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment. 12 and 13 show the situation from the left end to the entrance/exit 4 before and after, the situation of the entry/exit room 7, the processing state of the main control unit 30, and the operation state of the multilevel parking apparatus 1 (stand-by).
In the examples of FIGS. 12 and 13, when the user detection unit 82 outputs the detection signal, the save space LF antenna 81 transmits the remote control verification signal. According to this, since the user invades the evacuation space 75 and the ID signal is transmitted from the remote control transmitter 50 possessed more reliably, the presence or absence of safety confirmation in the evacuation space 75 can be more clearly determined.

  When the vehicle 2 to be stored in the multilevel parking device 1 arrives in front of the entrance/exit opening 4 (S100), the user who is the driver of the vehicle 2 presses the authentication button 52 of the remote control transmitter 50 (S102). At this time, the authentication button 52 functions as a safety confirmation button that is pressed when it is confirmed that the front of the loading/unloading port 4 is safe. Next, the user presses the start button 53 of the remote control transmitter 50 (S104). When the start button 53 is pressed, the remote control transmitter 50 transmits the remote control ID signal. When the RF receiving antenna 48 of the operation panel 22 receives the remote control ID signal, the main control unit 30 performs user authentication based on the received remote control ID signal (S300).

  When the user authentication is completed, the multi-level parking device 1 takes out the pallet 18 (hereinafter referred to as “empty pallet”) on which the vehicle 2 is not placed from the vehicle storage shelf 17 and conveys it to the passenger compartment 7 (S400). When an empty pallet arrives in the passenger compartment 7, the loading/unloading door 4a is opened (S402).

  When the loading/unloading door 4a is opened, the user stops the vehicle 2 on the empty pallet (S200) and gets off the vehicle 2 (S202). When the human/vehicle sensors 26 and 27 detect the user getting off the vehicle, the main control unit 30 gives a voice guidance "Please move to the evacuation space 1" (S302). By this voice guidance, the user moves to the evacuation space 75_1 (S204). When the user moves to the evacuation space 75_1, the user detection unit 82_1 detects the user (S206). In response to the output of this detection signal, the main control unit 30 gives a voice guidance "Please check unattended" (S304). As a result, the user confirms that there is no passenger in the passenger compartment 7 from the evacuation space 75_1.

The main control unit 30 starts counting after the user detection unit 82_1 detects the user, and when a certain time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed (S306), the main control unit 30 confirms the remote control ID (S308). Then, the remote control collation signal and the save space ID signal are transmitted from the save space LF antenna 81_1 installed in the save space 75_1 (S208).
When the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user in the evacuation space 75_1 receives the remote control collation signal, the remote control transmitter 50 returns the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal (S210).
In this way, since the evacuation space LF antenna 81 transmits the remote control collation signal after the elapse of a predetermined time after the user detection unit 82 detects the user, it is necessary for the user to stay in the evacuation space 75 for the predetermined time. The safety confirmation of the inside of the passenger compartment 7 by the person is more surely performed.

  When the indoor RF antenna 83 receives the remote control ID signal and the escape space ID signal, the main control unit 30 confirms (determines) whether the received remote control ID signal is the same as the remote control ID of the current user. When confirming that the received remote control ID signal is the same as the current user's remote control ID, the main control unit 30 determines that the unattended confirmation (safety confirmation) in the evacuation space 75_1 has been completed (S310). Then, the main control unit 30 notifies, as voice guidance, "The unmanned confirmation is completed, please move to the evacuation space 2" (S312).

  Next, the user moves to the evacuation space 75_2 according to the voice guidance (S212). When the user moves to the evacuation space 75_2, the user detection unit 82_2 detects the user (S214). In response to the output of this detection signal, the main control unit 30 gives a voice guidance "Please check unattended" (S314). As a result, the user confirms that there is no passenger in the passenger compartment 7 from the evacuation space 75_2.

The main control unit 30 starts counting after the user detection unit 82_2 detects the user, and when a fixed time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed (S316), confirms the remote control ID (S318). Then, the evacuation space LF antenna 81_2 installed in the evacuation space 75_2 transmits the remote controller collation signal and the evacuation space ID signal (S216).
When the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user in the evacuation space 75_2 receives the remote control collation signal, the remote control transmitter 50 returns the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal (S218).

  When the indoor RF antenna 83 receives the remote control ID signal and the escape space ID signal, the main control unit 30 confirms (determines) whether the received remote control ID signal is the same as the remote control ID of the current user. When confirming that the received remote controller ID signal is the same as the remote controller ID of the current user, the main control unit 30 determines that the unattended confirmation (safety confirmation) in the evacuation space 75_2 has been completed (S320). Then, the main control unit 30 informs as voice guidance, "The unmanned confirmation is completed, please move to the evacuation space 3" (S322).

  Then, the user moves to the evacuation space 75_3 according to the voice guidance, performs the unmanned confirmation in the evacuation space 75_3 in the same manner as described above, and then moves to the evacuation space 75_4 to perform the unmanned confirmation.

The safety device 85 does not determine that the safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7 is completed unless the user enters all the evacuation spaces 75. Therefore, according to the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment, the safety confirmation of the inside of the passenger compartment 7 by the user can be performed more reliably.
When the user exits the boarding/alighting room 7 without performing the safety confirmation, the voice guidance informs that the safety confirmation should be performed in the evacuation space 75. The exit of the user from the entry/exit room 7 is detected by an entry/exit sensor (human sensor) installed on the entry/exit door 4a.

When the user completes the unattended confirmation in the evacuation space 75_4, the user exits the boarding/alighting room 7 (S220) and moves to the operation panel 22 (S222). Then, the user presses the safety confirmation button displayed on the operation screen 35 of the operation panel 22 (S106). In order to confirm the remote control ID (S324), the main control unit 30 causes the LF transmission antenna 46 installed on the operation panel 22 to transmit a remote control collation signal (S108).
When the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user in front of the operation panel 22 receives the remote control verification signal, the remote control transmitter 50 returns a remote control ID signal (S110). When confirming that the received remote control ID signal is the same as the current user's remote control ID, the main control unit 30 determines that the unattended confirmation (safety confirmation) on the operation panel 22 has been completed (S326). Then, the multi-level parking device 1 closes the loading/unloading door 4a (S404) and stores the pallet 18 on which the vehicle 2 is placed in the vehicle storage shelf 17.

  Next, an emergency stop of the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.

  The safety device 85 enters the emergency stop mode when the multi-level parking device 1 is in a driving state. The case where the multi-level parking device 1 is in an operating state is a case where the loading/unloading door 4a is closed, the turntable 8 starts rotating, or the lift 14 starts moving up and down. That is, when the loading/unloading door 4a is open, the multi-level parking device 1 is not at least in the operating state.

Then, in the emergency stop mode, when the indoor RF antenna 83 receives the remote control ID signal transmitted from the remote control transmitter 50, the driving state of the multi-level parking device 1 is set to the stopped state.
When the multi-level parking device 1 is in a driving state, normally there should be no person in the passenger compartment 7. However, in the safety device 85, even if there is a person in the passenger compartment 7 in the emergency stop mode, an ID signal is transmitted from the remote control transmitter 50 when a person who has the remote control transmitter 50 enters the evacuation space 75. Since it is received by the on-site RF antenna 83, the multistory parking apparatus 1 is quickly stopped.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of an emergency stop in the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment.

In the case where the loading/unloading door 4a is closed (S406) and the pallet 18 on which the vehicle 2 is placed is waiting to be stored (S408), another user remains in the passenger compartment 7 (S224).
In such a case, the other user will move to one of the save spaces 75_1 to 75_4 (S226). Specifically, when the loading/unloading door 4a is closed, all the light emitting means of the evacuation line 77 blink, and the user left in the passenger compartment 7 is prompted to move to the evacuation space 75.

  When the user moves to any of the evacuation spaces 75, the user detection unit 82 at the moving destination detects the user (S228). In response to the output of this detection signal, the multi-level parking device 1 operates the emergency stop for stopping the driving based on the signal from the main control unit 30 (S410). The emergency stop is, for example, stopping the rotation of the turntable 8 or stopping the lifting of the lift 14.

When the destination user detection unit 82 detects the user (S228), the main control unit 30 confirms the remote control ID (S328). Therefore, the remote control collation signal and the save space ID signal are transmitted from the save space LF antenna 81 installed in the save space 75 to which the user has moved (S230).
When the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user in the evacuation space 75 receives the remote control collation signal, the remote control transmitter 50 returns the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal (S232).

When the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user in the evacuation space 75 receives the remote control collation signal, the remote control transmitter 50 returns the remote control ID signal and the evacuation space ID signal, and the on-site RF antenna 83 causes the remote control ID signal and the evacuation. Receive a space ID signal.
As a result, the main control unit 30 confirms that a person (user) is present in the evacuation space 75 (S330), and displays the evacuation space 75 in which the user is present and the user ID on the operation screen 35 of the operation panel 22. It is displayed (S112). Accordingly, even a person outside the entry/exit door 4a can recognize that there is a person remaining in the passenger compartment 7. In addition, in the emergency stop operation of S410, the loading/unloading door 4a may be opened.

  Note that in the example of FIG. 14, the emergency stop of the multi-level parking device 1 is performed when the user detection unit 82 detects the user, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and the case where the indoor RF antenna 83 receives the remote control ID signal. Further, the emergency stop of the multi-level parking device 1 may be performed.

As described above, the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment has the plurality of evacuation spaces 75 installed in the passenger compartment 7, and the remote control transmitter 50 owned by the user allows Authenticate.
When the user enters the evacuation space 75, the safety device 85 of the multi-level parking device 1 causes the remote control transmitter 50 to transmit a remote control verification signal to the evacuation space LF antenna 81. The on-site RF antenna 83 installed in the passenger compartment 7 receives the remote control ID signal transmitted by the remote control transmitter 50 receiving the remote control collation signal. Then, based on the received remote control ID signal, it is determined whether or not the safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7 is performed.

  As a result, the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment does not need to install a button for safety confirmation in the retreat space 75, and thus does not cause an erroneous button operation in the retreat space 75 inside the passenger compartment 7. It is possible for the user to confirm the safety inside the passenger compartment 7.

  Further, the safety device 85 according to the first embodiment is in the emergency stop mode when the multi-level parking device 1 is in a driving state, and stops the multi-level parking device 1 when the user detection unit 82 outputs a detection signal. According to this, even if there is a person in the boarding/alighting room 7 in the case of the emergency stop mode, the person enters the evacuation space 75, so that the multilevel parking apparatus 1 is quickly stopped.

[Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

  The structure of the multi-level parking device 1 according to the second embodiment is the same as the structure of the multi-level parking device 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

  15 and 16 are flowcharts showing a flow of safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7 in the multi-level parking device 1 according to the second embodiment. Steps in FIGS. 15 and 16 that are the same as those in FIGS. 12 and 13 are assigned the same reference numerals as in FIGS.

  Note that in the examples of FIGS. 15 and 16, when the on-site RF antenna 83 receives an operation signal (remote control signal) transmitted by the user operating a predetermined button of the remote control transmitter 50 in the evacuation space 75, the evacuation is performed. The space LF antenna 81 transmits a remote control verification signal. According to this, since the user operates the predetermined button of the remote control transmitter 50 with the intention that the safety confirmation is completed in the evacuation space 75, the user can perform a more reliable safety confirmation in the passenger compartment 7. It will be possible. In the second embodiment, the predetermined button is the authentication button 52 as an example, but another button may be used. The operation signal is, for example, a remote control ID signal, but may be another signal corresponding to the pressed button.

When the user moves to the evacuation space 75_1 in S204, the user presses the safety confirmation button (authentication button 52) of the remote control transmitter 50 after performing unattended confirmation of the passenger compartment 7 (S207). As a result, an operation signal (remote control ID signal) is transmitted from the remote control transmitter 50. When the on-site RF antenna 83 receives the operation signal, the remote control collation signal and the backup space ID signal are transmitted from the backup space LF antenna 81_1 to confirm the remote control ID (S308) (S208).
In addition, when the user detection unit 82_1 detects the user, the main control unit 30 may notify, as voice guidance, “Please confirm unattended and press the button on the remote control transmitter”.

  Further, when the user moves to the evacuation space 75_2 in S212, the user similarly pushes the safety confirmation button (authentication button 52) of the remote control transmitter 50 after performing the unmanned confirmation of the passenger compartment 7, and then the operation signal. Will be sent. When the on-site RF antenna 83 receives the operation signal, the remote control collating signal and the backup space ID signal are transmitted from the backup space LF antenna 81_2 to confirm the remote control ID (S318) (S216).

  Although the present invention has been described above using the above embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above embodiments. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention, and the modes to which the modifications or improvements are added are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Moreover, you may combine suitably each said embodiment.

  For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, a mode in which one pallet 18 moves up and down in the passenger compartment 7 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of pallets 18 move up and down in the passenger compartment 7. It may be in the form. In the case of this configuration, as shown in FIG. 17, the retreat spaces 75 are provided not only at the four corners of the passenger compartment 7 but also in the central portion of the long sides.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the safety confirmation unit 78 includes the user detection unit 82, and when the user detection unit 82 outputs the detection signal, the evacuation space LF antenna 81 transmits the remote control collation signal and the evacuation space ID signal. Although the form has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the safety confirmation unit 78 may not include the user detection unit 82.
In this case, when the vehicle 2 enters the passenger compartment 7, the evacuation space LF antenna 81 starts transmitting the remote control collation signal and the evacuation space ID signal at predetermined intervals (for example, 1 second intervals). Accordingly, even if the safety confirmation unit 78 does not include the user detection unit 82, when the user enters the evacuation space 75, the remote control transmitter 50 transmits the remote control ID signal.

  Further, the flow of the safety confirmation or emergency stop processing described in each of the above embodiments is also an example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or processing may be performed without departing from the scope of the present invention. You may change the order.
