The display control of the touch panel 45 included in the 22 and the opening / closing control of the entry / exit door 4 are performed.

〔Warehousing processing〕
Next, the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50 at the time of warehousing will be described with reference to the drawings. 6 and 7 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50.

First, when warehousing, the user moves the vehicle 2 in front of the warehousing / delivery port 3, gets off, and heads for the operation panel 22. Then, the lock is unlocked with a special key and the lid 44 of the housing 43 is opened. When the main control unit 50 detects that the lid 44 has been opened (SA1 in FIG. 6), the main control unit 50 displays the first user authentication screen on the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 (SA2). FIG. 8 shows an example of the first user authentication screen. As shown in FIG. 8, the first user authentication screen is a screen in which the input operation method for user authentication is carefully explained. By displaying such a screen, even a user who is unfamiliar with the operation can easily perform the input operation of the user ID.

When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the user ID is input (“YES” in SA3), the main control unit 50 performs a first user authentication for determining whether or not the person who is trying to store the goods is a pre-registered user. Do (SA4).

When the user authentication is successful (“YES” in SA4), the main control unit 50 acquires the user information corresponding to the user ID input in step SA3 from 52 from the comprehensive database (SA5). Subsequently, the main control unit 50 refers to the acquired user information and determines whether or not the error information is registered (SA6). As a result, if the error information is registered (“YES” in SA6), that is, if the user has taken an action that causes an error in the past fixed period, the operation panel 22 is alerted. Along with displaying the screen, guidance is given to confirm the error content and operate the confirmation button (SA7).

FIG. 9 shows an example of a warning screen when the door is forgotten to be closed. As shown in FIG. 9, the content of the error that the user has generated in the past fixed period is displayed on the warning screen, and the warning is given so as not to cause a similar error. When the user confirms the alert screen, he / she presses the confirmation button B1 displayed on the alert screen. As a result, a confirmation completion signal indicating that the confirmation button B1 has been pressed is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the confirmation completion signal (“YES” in SA8), the touch panel 45 displays the warehousing start confirmation screen and gives guidance to the user to operate the start button (SA9). .. If the error information is not registered in step SA6, that is, if the user has not taken any action that causes an error in the past fixed period, steps SA7 and 8 are omitted and steps SA9 are omitted. To display the warehousing start confirmation screen on the touch panel of the operation panel 22.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the warehousing start confirmation screen. When the start button B2 is pressed by the user on the warehousing start confirmation screen, a warehousing start signal indicating that the start button B2 is pressed is input to the main control unit 50 (“YES” in SA10). Upon receiving the warehousing start signal, the main control unit 50 outputs an instruction to call an empty pallet from the vehicle storage shelf 17 to the conveyor control unit 56 (see FIG. 4), and waits for warehousing on the touch panel 45 to indicate the warehousing waiting state. A confirmation screen is displayed (SA11). At this time, the main control unit 50 may refer to the usage frequency described in the user information of the user and switch the warehousing waiting confirmation screen according to the usage frequency. For example, a user who is used relatively frequently is accustomed to the warehousing / delivery operation, and can perform an appropriate input operation or take an appropriate action without giving much operation guidance. On the other hand, users who are relatively infrequently used are unfamiliar with the warehousing / delivery operation and need to provide careful guidance. Therefore, for example, a simple warehousing waiting confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed for a user whose usage frequency is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and FIG. A warehousing waiting confirmation screen is displayed in which the precautions at the time of warehousing as shown in 12 are explained in detail.

On the warehousing waiting confirmation screen shown in FIG. 12, guidance indicating that the warehousing operation is in progress is displayed, and guidance urging the door mirrors and antennas to be folded is displayed by animation. In this way, by displaying the contents that the user must perform at the time of warehousing with an animation, it is possible to convey the procedure of the warehousing operation to the user who is unfamiliar with the warehousing in an easy-to-understand manner.

Subsequently, when the empty pallet arrives at the boarding / alighting room 7, the main control unit 50 displays a door opening screen indicating that the entry / exit door 4 opens on the touch panel 45 (SA12), and instructs the entry / exit door 4 to open the entry / exit door 4. Output to the door control unit 55 (see FIG. 4). As a result, the entry / exit door is opened by the entry / exit door control unit 55. Then, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is completely opened (SA13), the main control unit 50 displays a warehousing guidance screen for urging the user to warehousing on the touch panel 45 (SA14 in FIG. 7). FIG. 13 shows an example of the warehousing guidance screen.

The user who confirmed the warehousing guidance screen boarded the vehicle 2, moved the vehicle 2 into the boarding / alighting room, placed the vehicle 2 on the empty pallet transported into the boarding / alighting room, disembarked, and exited from the boarding / alighting room 7. Return to the operation panel 22.
Subsequently, the main control unit 50 causes the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 to display the second user authentication screen (SA15). At this time, the main control unit 50 may refer to the usage frequency described in the user information of the user and switch the user authentication screen according to the usage frequency. For example, a second user authentication screen for simplification as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed for a user whose usage frequency is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and FIG. 8 is displayed for a user whose usage frequency is less than a predetermined value. As shown in the above, a second user authentication screen that displays the same contents as the first user authentication screen is displayed.

When the user who confirms the second user authentication screen brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50 (in SA16, "" YES "). Upon receiving the user ID, the main control unit 50 performs a second user authentication and verification process (SA17).

In the second user authentication, it is determined whether or not the received user ID is a pre-registered user ID. Further, in the collation process, whether the user ID input in the first user authentication and the user ID input in the second user authentication have a certain relationship, for example, whether they are the same or not. judge. As a result, whether or not the user who operated the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22 and the subsequent input operation by the same user who instructed the operation of starting the warehousing can be performed. Determine if it will be done.

When the second user authentication and verification process is successful (“YES” in SA17), the main control unit 50 displays an unmanned confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 for allowing the user to confirm the unmanned person in the boarding / alighting room, and uses the touch panel 45. Guidance is given to the person to confirm the unmanned person (SA18). On the unmanned confirmation screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, guidance and unmanned confirmation prompting the user to operate the unmanned confirmation button B3 after confirming the unmanned person in the boarding / alighting room by the real-time image displayed on the monitor 28. Button B3 is displayed.

Here, the main control unit 50 may change the unmanned confirmation screen displayed on the touch panel 45 according to the average required time of the unmanned confirmation input described in the user information of the user. For example, when the average required time for unmanned confirmation input is equal to or longer than a preset reference time, it is highly possible that the user has performed sufficient unmanned confirmation. In this case, as shown in FIG. 15, the unmanned confirmation button B3 for inputting that the unmanned confirmation has been completed is displayed at the same time as the guidance for performing the unmanned confirmation. In other words, the unmanned confirmation button B3 is displayed on the unmanned confirmation screen from the beginning. On the other hand, if the average time required for the unmanned confirmation input described in the user information is less than the reference time, it is highly possible that the user has not sufficiently performed the unmanned confirmation. Therefore, in such a case, as shown in FIG. 16A, the unmanned confirmation button B3 is not displayed from the beginning, but first, only the guidance for performing the unmanned confirmation using the monitor 28 is displayed. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the unmanned confirmation button B3 is displayed as shown in FIG. 16B. By displaying the unmanned confirmation button B3 with a delay in this way, it is possible to forcibly give the user a certain period for performing unmanned confirmation. As a result, it is possible to suppress the unmanned confirmation from becoming a mere ghost, and it is possible to secure a certain level of safety by unmanned confirmation.

When the unmanned confirmation button B3 is pressed by the user, an unmanned confirmation completion signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the unmanned confirmation completion signal (“YES” in SA19), the main control unit 50 causes the touch panel 45 to display a safety confirmation screen for performing the final safety confirmation (SA20). On the safety confirmation screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, guidance prompting the user to operate the safety confirmation button B4 after visually confirming the unmanned person in the boarding / alighting room and the safety confirmation button B4 are displayed. .. Similarly to the above-mentioned unmanned confirmation screen, when the average required time for safety confirmation input is less than the reference time, the safety confirmation screen is displayed on this safety confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 18A, for example. The safety confirmation button B4 (see FIG. 18B) may be displayed after a lapse of a certain period of time. The safety confirmation screen can be omitted when it is determined in the collation process in step SA17 that the user IDs match.

When the safety confirmation button B4 is pressed by the user (“YES” in SA21), the safety confirmation completion signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the safety confirmation completion signal, the touch panel 45 displays a door closing screen for closing the entrance / exit door 4 (SA22). FIG. 19 shows an example of a closed door screen. When the door closing button B5 displayed on the door closing screen is pressed by the user (“YES” in SA23), the door closing signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50.

In the main control unit 50, on the above-mentioned unmanned confirmation screen, safety confirmation screen, and door closing screen, the unmanned confirmation button B3, safety confirmation button B4, and door closing button are displayed by the user within a predetermined time after displaying each of these screens. If B5 is not pressed, the second user authentication screen may be displayed again and the user ID input may be requested again. Further, the "predetermined time" at this time may be a preset time, and the user information stored in the comprehensive database 52, for example, the average required time for unmanned confirmation input and the safety confirmation input. It may be set and adjusted based on the average required time and the average required time for inputting the door closing instruction.

Upon receiving the door closing signal, the main control unit 50 outputs the closing signal of the warehousing / exit door 4 to the warehousing / delivery door control unit 55 (see FIG. 4) (SA24). As a result, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is closed by the warehousing / delivery door control unit 55, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22, closes the key, and separates from the operation panel 22. Further, when the closing operation of the warehousing / delivery door 4 is completed, the main control unit 50 outputs a transfer signal to the transfer machine control unit 56. As a result, the pallet on which the vehicle 2 is placed is conveyed by the lift 14 and stored in the vehicle storage shelf 17.

Further, the main control unit 50 clocks and monitors the time required for the user to input the operation, the times T1 to T3 required for the warehousing, the error information generated by the user, and the like in the series of warehousing processes described above. After the series of warehousing processes are completed, the user information of the user stored in the comprehensive database 52 is updated based on this information. The update time of the user information is not limited to this example, and may be performed at any time during the warehousing process, or may be performed collectively during the time when the mechanical parking device 1 is not used. good.

[Goods issue processing]
Next, the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50 at the time of warehousing will be described with reference to the figure. 20 and 21 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the warehousing process executed by the main control unit 50.

When leaving the warehouse, the user moves to the front of the operation panel 22 and opens the lid 44 of the operation panel using the key. When the main control unit 50 detects that the lid 44 has been opened (SB1 in FIG. 20), the main control unit 50 causes the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 to display the first user authentication screen as shown in FIG. 8 or 14 (SB2). ).

When the user brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the user ID is input (“YES” in SB3), the main control unit 50 performs a first user authentication for determining whether or not the person who is going to issue the goods is a pre-registered user. Do (SB4).

When the user authentication is successful (“YES” in SB4), the main control unit 50 acquires the user information corresponding to the user ID input in step SB3 from 52 from the comprehensive database (SB5). Subsequently, the main control unit 50 refers to the acquired user information and determines whether or not the error information is registered (SB6). As a result, if the error information is registered (“YES” in SB6), that is, if the user has taken an action that causes an error in the past fixed period, the operation panel 22 is alerted. A screen (for example, see FIG. 9) is displayed, and guidance is given to confirm the error content and operate the confirmation button B1 (SB7).

When the user confirms the alert screen, he / she presses the confirmation button B1 displayed on the alert screen. As a result, a confirmation completion signal indicating that the confirmation button B1 has been pressed is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the confirmation completion signal (“YES” in SB8), the touch panel 45 displays the delivery start confirmation screen and gives guidance to the user to operate the start button (SB9). .. If the error information is not registered in step SB6, that is, if the user has not taken any action that causes an error in the past fixed period, steps SB7 and SB9 are omitted and step SB9. To display the delivery start confirmation screen on the touch panel of the operation panel 22.

When the start button is pressed by the user, a delivery start signal indicating that the start button has been pressed is input to the main control unit 50 (“YES” in SB10). When the main control unit 50 receives the delivery start signal, it outputs an instruction to call the actual pallet on which the user's vehicle 2 is placed from the vehicle storage shelf 17 to the conveyor control unit 56 (see FIG. 4), and also outputs a touch panel. A delivery waiting confirmation screen indicating the status of waiting for delivery is displayed on 45 (SB11).

Subsequently, when the actual pallet arrives at the boarding / alighting room 7, the main control unit 50 displays a door opening screen indicating that the entry / exit door 4 opens on the touch panel 45 (SB12), and gives an instruction to open the entry / exit door 4 to enter / exit. Output to the door control unit 55 (SB13). As a result, the entry / exit door is opened by the entry / exit door control unit 55. Then, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is completely opened, the main control unit 50 causes the user to display a warehousing guidance screen on the touch panel 45 (SB14 in FIG. 21). In addition, the main control unit 50 may urge the user to leave the garage by turning on a three-color light or a warehousing control light provided in front of the boarding / alighting room 7.

The user who confirms the exit guidance screen enters the boarding / alighting room, gets on the vehicle 2 mounted on the pallet 18, and causes the vehicle 2 to leave the boarding / alighting room 7. When the delivery is completed, the user gets off the vehicle 2 and moves to the front of the operation panel 22.
Subsequently, the main control unit 50 causes the touch panel 45 of the operation panel 22 to display the second user authentication screen (SB15). At this time, the main control unit 50 may refer to the usage frequency described in the user information and switch the user authentication screen according to the usage frequency, as in the case of warehousing.

When the user who confirms the second user authentication screen brings the IC card into contact with the IC card reader 46, the user ID registered in the IC card is read and transmitted to the main control unit 50 (in SB16, "" YES "). Upon receiving the user ID, the main control unit 50 performs a second user authentication and verification process (SB17).
In the second user authentication, it is determined whether or not the received user ID is a pre-registered user ID. Further, in the collation process, whether the user ID input in the first user authentication and the user ID input in the second user authentication have a certain relationship, for example, whether they are the same or not. To judge. In this way, it is determined by the second user authentication whether or not the user who operates the operation panel 22 has the authority to operate the operation panel 22, and the operation of starting the delivery is instructed by the collation process. It is determined whether the subsequent input operation is performed by the same user as the user.

When the second user authentication and verification process is successful (“YES” in SB17), the main control unit 50 displays an unmanned confirmation screen on the touch panel 45 for the user to confirm the unmanned person in the boarding / alighting room, and uses the touch panel 45. Guidance is given to the person to confirm the unmanned person (SB18). At this time, the unmanned confirmation screen displayed on the touch panel 45 may be changed according to the average required time of the unmanned confirmation input described in the user information, as in the case of warehousing.

When the unmanned confirmation button is pressed by the user, an unmanned confirmation completion signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the unmanned confirmation completion signal (“YES” in SB19), the main control unit 50 causes the touch panel 45 to display a safety confirmation screen for performing final safety confirmation (SB20). As for the safety confirmation screen, the unmanned confirmation screen displayed on the touch panel 45 may be changed according to the average time required for inputting the safety confirmation, as in the case of warehousing.

When the safety confirmation button is pressed by the user (“YES” in SB21), the safety confirmation completion signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50. When the main control unit 50 receives the safety confirmation completion signal, the touch panel 45 displays a door closing screen for closing the entrance / exit door 4 (SB22). When the door closing button displayed on the door closing screen is pressed by the user (“YES” in SB23), the door closing signal is transmitted to the main control unit 50.

In addition, the main control unit 50 has the unmanned confirmation button B3 and the safety by the user within a predetermined time after displaying each of the unmanned confirmation screen, the safety confirmation screen, and the door closing screen, as in the case of the above-mentioned warehousing. If the confirmation button B4 and the door closing button B5 are not pressed, the second user authentication screen may be displayed again and the user ID input may be requested again. Further, the "predetermined time" at this time may be a preset time, and the user information stored in the comprehensive database 52, for example, the average required time for unmanned confirmation input and the safety confirmation input. It may be set and adjusted based on the average required time and the average required time for inputting the door closing instruction.

When the main control unit 50 receives the door closing signal, the main control unit 50 outputs the closing signal of the entrance / exit door 4 to the entry / exit door control unit 55 (SB24). As a result, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is closed by the warehousing / delivery door control unit 55, the user closes the lid 44 of the operation panel 22, closes the key, and separates from the operation panel 22. Further, when the closing operation of the warehousing / delivery door 4 is completed, the main control unit 50 outputs a transfer signal to the transfer machine control unit 56. As a result, the empty pallet is conveyed by the lift 14 and stored in the vehicle storage shelf 17.

Further, the main control unit 50 clocks and monitors the time required for the user to input the operation, the times T4 to T6 required for the delivery, the error information generated by the user, and the like in the series of delivery processing described above. After the series of shipping processes is completed, the user information of the user stored in the comprehensive database 52 is updated based on this information. The update time of the user information is not limited to this example, and may be performed at any time during the shipping process, or may be performed collectively during the time when the mechanical parking device 1 is not used. good.

[Door closing detection process]
Next, the flow of the door closing forgetting detection process at the time of warehousing executed by the main control unit 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. 22 and 23 are flowcharts showing a procedure for detecting forgetting to close the door at the time of warehousing.

First, when the user ID is input by the user on the user authentication screen displayed in step SA2 of FIG. 6 described above, the main control unit 50 inputs the user information corresponding to the input user ID. Obtained from the comprehensive database 52 (SC2). Subsequently, the time required for warehousing described in the acquired user information, that is, the first time T1 from the opening of the warehousing / exit door 4 to the entry of the vehicle 2 into the boarding / alighting room 7, the vehicle 2 is placed in the boarding / alighting room. The door is closed based on the second time T2 from the entry to the user leaving the boarding / alighting room 7, and the third time T3 from the user leaving the boarding / alighting room 7 until the user ID is entered. The first reference time t1, the second reference time t2, and the third reference time t3, which are used as a reference when determining that the door is forgotten, are set (SC3). For example, the first reference time t1 is set to a longer time than the first time T1. Similarly, the second reference time t2 and the third reference time t3 are also set to be longer than the second time T2 and the third time T3, respectively. In this way, by setting the reference time as a reference when determining that the door is forgotten to be closed based on the user information W, it is possible to suppress erroneous detection of forgetting to close the door.

Subsequently, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is opened by proceeding with the warehousing process shown in FIG. 6 (SC4), the main control unit 50 resets the timer (SC5) and activates it (SC6). As a result, timekeeping by the timer is started. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the vehicle 2 has been received (SC7). The warehousing of the vehicle 2 is determined based on, for example, the detection signal of the entry / exit detection sensor 30 (see FIGS. 2 and 4). As a result, when the warehousing of the vehicle 2 cannot be confirmed (“NO” in SC7), it is determined whether or not the timer count has elapsed the first reference time t1 set in step SC3 (SC8). As a result, if the first reference time t1 has not elapsed (“NO” in SC8), the process returns to step SC7. Then, if the vehicle 2 is not stored by the time the timer count elapses from the first reference time t1 (“YES” in SC8), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (SC17 in FIG. 23).

On the other hand, if the vehicle 2 is received by the time the timer count elapses from the first reference time t1 (“YES” in SC7), the timer is reset (SC9 in FIG. 23), and then the timer is activated (SC9 in FIG. 23). SC10). As a result, the timer-based timekeeping is restarted. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the user's exit from the boarding / alighting room 7 is detected (SC11). The exit of the user is determined based on the detection signal of the entry / exit detection sensor 30. As a result, when the user's exit is not detected (“NO” in SC11), it is determined whether or not the timer count has elapsed the second reference time t2 set in step SC3 (SC12). .. As a result, if the second reference time t2 has not elapsed (“NO” in SC12), the process returns to step SC11. Then, if the exit of the user is not detected by the time the timer count elapses from the second reference time t2 (“YES” in SC12), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (SC17).

On the other hand, if the exit of the user is detected by the time the timer count elapses from the second reference time t2 (“YES” in SC11), the timer is reset (SC13) and then the timer is activated (SC14). ). As a result, the timer-based timekeeping is restarted. Subsequently, on the operation panel 22, it is determined whether or not a predetermined user ID has been input (SC15). Here, the predetermined user ID is, for example, the same user ID as the user ID input in step SA3 of FIG. That is, it is determined whether or not the same person who has operated the door opening instruction is operating the operation panel 22 in front of the operation panel 22.

As a result, when the predetermined user ID is not input (“NO” in SC15), it is determined whether or not the timer count has elapsed the third reference time t3 set in step SC3 (SC16). ). As a result, if the third reference time t3 has not elapsed (“NO” in SC16), the process returns to step SC15. Then, if the predetermined user ID is input before the timer count elapses from the third reference time t3 (“YES” in SC15), the process is performed without detecting forgetting to close the door. finish. On the other hand, if the predetermined user ID is not input by the time the timer count elapses from the third reference time t3 (“YES” in SC16), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (SC17). ).

In the door closing forgetting detection process, the door closing forgetting was detected up to the step until the user ID was input on the second user authentication screen. In addition to this, the predetermined use in step SC15. The period from the input of the person ID to the closing of the warehousing / delivery door 4 may be timed by a timer, and when this period elapses from a preset reference time, it may be determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed. .. Further, the reference time at this time is entered after the user ID is input on the second user screen stored in the comprehensive database 52, as in the case of the first reference time t1 to the third reference time t3 described above. It may be set for each user based on the time required until the exit door 4 is closed (or until the closing button B5 is pressed on the closing screen).

Next, the flow of the door closing forgetting detection process at the time of delivery, which is executed by the main control unit 50, will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. 24 and 25 are flowcharts showing a procedure for detecting forgetting to close the door at the time of delivery.

First, when the user ID is input by the user on the user authentication screen displayed in step SB2 of FIG. 20 described above, the main control unit 50 inputs the user information corresponding to the input user ID. Obtained from the comprehensive database 52 (SD2). Subsequently, the time required for warehousing described in the acquired user information, that is, the fourth time T4 from the opening of the warehousing door 4 to the entry of the user into the boarding / alighting room 7, the user enters the boarding / alighting room. The door is closed based on the 5th time T5 from the entry until the vehicle 2 exits the boarding / alighting room 7, and the 6th time T6 from the vehicle 2 exiting the boarding / alighting room 7 until the user ID is input. The fourth reference time t4, the fifth reference time t5, and the sixth reference time t6, which are used as a reference when determining that the door is forgotten, are set (SD3). For example, the fourth reference time t4 is set to a longer time than the fourth time T4. Similarly, the fifth reference time t5 and the sixth reference time t6 are also set to be longer than the fifth time T5 and the sixth time T6, respectively. In this way, by setting the reference time as a reference when determining that the door is forgotten to be closed based on the user information W, it is possible to suppress erroneous detection of forgetting to close the door.

Subsequently, when the warehousing / delivery door 4 is opened (SD4) by proceeding with the warehousing process shown in FIG. 20, the main control unit 50 resets the timer (SD5) and activates it (SD6). As a result, timekeeping by the timer is started. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the user has entered the boarding / alighting room (SD7). The entry of the user into the boarding / alighting room is determined based on, for example, the detection signal of the room entry / exit detection sensor 30 (see FIGS. 2 and 4). As a result, when the entry of the user cannot be confirmed (“NO” in SD7), it is determined whether or not the timer count has passed the fourth reference time t4 set in step SD3 (SD8). As a result, if the fourth reference time t4 has not elapsed (“NO” in SD8), the process returns to step SD7. If the user's entry into the boarding / alighting room is not detected by the time the timer count elapses from the fourth reference time t4 (“YES” in SD8), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (“YES”). SD17 in FIG. 25).

On the other hand, if the user enters the boarding / alighting room before the timer count elapses the fourth reference time t4 (“YES” in SD7), the timer is reset (SD9 in FIG. 25), and then the timer is activated. Let (SD10). As a result, the timer-based timekeeping is restarted. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the exit of the vehicle 2 from the boarding / alighting room 7 is detected (SD11). The exit of the vehicle 2 is determined based on the detection signal of the entry / exit detection sensor 30. As a result, when the exit of the vehicle 2 is not detected (“NO” in SD11), it is determined whether or not the timer count has passed the fifth reference time t5 set in step SD3 (SD12). .. As a result, if the fifth reference time t5 has not elapsed (“NO” in SD12), the process returns to step SD11. Then, if the exit of the vehicle 2 is not detected by the time the timer count elapses from the fifth reference time t5 (“YES” in SD12), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (SD17).

On the other hand, if the exit of the vehicle 2 is detected by the time the timer count elapses from the fifth reference time t5 (“YES” in SD11), the timer is reset (SD13) and then the timer is activated (SD14). ). As a result, the timer-based timekeeping is restarted. Subsequently, on the operation panel 22, it is determined whether or not a predetermined user ID has been input (SD15). Here, the predetermined user ID is, for example, the same user ID as the user ID input in step SB3 of FIG. 20. That is, it is determined whether or not the same person who has operated the door opening instruction is operating the operation panel 22 in front of the operation panel 22.
As a result, when the predetermined user ID is not input (“NO” in SD15), it is determined whether or not the timer count has passed the sixth reference time t6 set in step SD3 (SD16). ). As a result, if the sixth reference time t6 has not elapsed (“NO” in SD16), the process returns to step SD15. Then, if a predetermined user ID is input before the timer count elapses from the sixth reference time t6 (“YES” in SD15), the process is performed without detecting forgetting to close the door. finish. On the other hand, if the predetermined user ID is not input by the time the timer count elapses from the sixth reference time t6 (“YES” in SD16), it is determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed (SD17). ).

In the door closing forgetting detection process, the door closing forgetting was detected up to the step until the user ID was input on the second user authentication screen. In addition to this, the predetermined use in step SD15. The period from the input of the person ID to the closing of the warehousing / delivery door 4 may be timed by a timer, and when this period elapses from a preset reference time, it may be determined that the door has been forgotten to be closed. .. Further, the reference time at this time is the same as the above-mentioned fourth reference time t4 to sixth reference time t6, and the warehousing / delivery is performed after the user ID is input on the second user screen stored in the comprehensive database 52. It may be set for each user based on the time required until the door 4 is closed (or until the door closing button B5 is pressed on the door closing screen).

Further, in the above-mentioned door closing forgetting detection process, in steps SC4 and SD4, the timer is reset and started when the entry / exit door 4 is completely opened, but the timer is not limited to this and is not limited to this, for example, the main control. When the unit 50 receives the warehousing start signal and the warehousing start signal, the timer may be reset and started.

When the main control unit 50 determines that the door has been forgotten to be closed in steps SC17 and SD17, for example, it displays a message such as "Forgetting to close the door is occurring" on various screens displayed on the touch panel 45, and other uses. Notify the person and notify the emergency contact listed in the user information that the door has been forgotten to be closed. As a result, even if the door is forgotten to be closed, a person who has the authority to close the door can perform the door closing operation.

As described above, according to the mechanical parking device 1 according to the present embodiment, its control method, and the control program, the user information associated with the user ID individually assigned to each user is a comprehensive database. It is stored in 52, and at the time of warehousing / delivery, user information corresponding to the user ID input as user authentication is acquired from the comprehensive database 52. Then, based on the acquired user information, the operation of warehousing / delivery, for example, the content of the guidance displayed on each screen displayed on the operation panel 22, the display timing of the input button when performing unmanned confirmation or safety confirmation, etc. Be changed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to customize the operation of warehousing or warehousing according to the usage status of the mechanical parking device 1 by the user (for example, experience value, error occurrence frequency, etc.).
Further, according to the present embodiment, since the error information generated by the user in the past fixed period is recorded as the user information, it is possible to effectively alert the user at the time of warehousing and delivery. Become. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of errors such as forgetting to fold the mirror or antenna or forgetting to close the entrance / exit door.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the time required for the user to enter and leave the garage is stored as user information, and each reference time in the door closing forgetting detection process is set using this user information. In particular, according to the present embodiment, the time required for warehousing / delivery is divided into a plurality of periods from the opening of the warehousing / delivery door 4 to the closing of the warehousing / delivery door 4, and the time required by the user for at least one period. Is stored, and a determination reference time for detecting forgetting to close the warehousing / delivery door 4 is set based on this required time. As a result, an appropriate reference time can be set in consideration of the characteristics and tendencies of each user, and false detection of forgetting to close the door can be reduced.
In the present embodiment, the time required for warehousing is the period from the opening of the warehousing door 4 to the entry of the vehicle into the boarding / alighting room 7, and the user enters the boarding / alighting room 7 after the vehicle 2 is entered into the boarding / alighting room 7. The period until exit, the period from when the user exits from the boarding / alighting room 7 until the user ID is entered, and the time required for leaving the garage are the time required for the user to enter / exit the room after the entrance / exit door 4 is opened. The period from when the user enters the boarding / alighting room until the vehicle 2 exits from the boarding / alighting room 7, the period from when the vehicle 2 exits from the boarding / alighting room 7 until the user ID is input. The time required for the user for each of these categories was memorized, and the door was forgotten to be closed based on the above period. However, these categories at the time of warehousing and at the time of warehousing are examples, and are not limited to the above examples. For example, the two or more categories may be combined and regarded as one category to store user information or determine detection of forgetting to close the door.

Furthermore, by storing the vehicle type and family composition of the vehicle used by the user as user information, it is possible to estimate the time required for warehousing and delivery based on this information. For example, when there are small children or elderly people in the family structure, it takes time to get on and off, so the time required for warehousing and warehousing is relatively long. In this way, by setting the reference time used when determining the forgetting to close the door in consideration of the family structure, it is possible to set a more appropriate reference time.

Although the present invention has been described above using the above-described embodiment, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the above-described embodiment. Various changes or improvements can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the gist of the invention, and the modified or improved forms are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. Further, the flow of the warehousing process and the warehousing process and the unmanned determination process described in the above embodiment are also examples, and unnecessary steps can be deleted or new steps can be added within a range not deviating from the gist of the present invention. It is possible to change the processing order.

For example, in the above embodiment, the operation at the time of warehousing / delivery is changed based on the user information, but for example, the operation may be changed in consideration of the season, the weather, and the like. For example, the time required for loading and unloading varies depending on the season and the weather. Therefore, by setting each reference time t1 to t6 used for the door forgetting to close detection process in consideration of the season and the weather, a more appropriate reference time t1 to t6 can be set, and the detection accuracy of the door forgetting to close can be improved. Can be improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the operation panel 22 is controlled by the main control unit 50 has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this example. The above-mentioned processing may be realized by exchanging information between the main control unit 50 and the main control unit 50.
