[Operation of the first example]
The operation of the parking facility 1 having the above configuration will be described below.
(Water conveyance operation)
Under normal circumstances, the parking facility 1 is used for its original function, and vehicles 28, 30, and 32 enter and exit the parking facility. The water intake units 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54 are then maintained in a closed state. Even in that case, in the parking equipment control device, water level information transmitted from water level sensors installed in the area surrounding the parking equipment 1 is received by the water level information receiving unit 86.

If the area surrounding Parking Facility 1 encounters a natural phenomenon such as heavy rain, and it is determined that there is a risk of a water disaster such as above-floor flooding to nearby residences based on the above water level information, the boarding area or parking area Activate the water conveying device installed in 10. As a result, the water intake units 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, and 54 operate to open, and the water that has flooded around the parking equipment 1 is guided into the interior of the parking equipment 1. The introduced water is guided to the lowest level in the parking lot 10 by the first to fourth water pipes 36, 38, 40, and 42, and is gradually raised and stored. The water storage level is determined by the amount of water stored, and is not limited to the level at which the first tier parking floor 18 is submerged, but also to the level immediately before the second tier parking floor 20 is submerged, and furthermore, to the level immediately before reaching the third tier parking floor 22. It is also possible that it will be raised. In addition, if the water level in the area surrounding the parking facility 1 drops after water is introduced into the parking facility 1, the drainage device of the parking facility 1 will be activated after confirming that the water level has dropped and that the water disaster warning has been lifted. and drain the stored water to rainwater drainage routes, etc. The above control operations from water introduction to drainage will be explained.

(Water conveyance start operation)
In the external signal reception control unit 80, the water level information receiving unit 86 receives water level information transmitted from water level sensors installed in the area surrounding the parking facility 1, and the water level information receiving unit 86 receives the received data (water level information). It is sent to the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 of the water conveyance/drainage device control section 82. The water conveyance/drainage determining section 92 transfers the received data to the flooding situation management section 90 to manage the flooding situation in the parking facility 1 . The water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 also has water disaster determination data in a table format that compares water level information and the water disaster risk level corresponding to the water level information. Then, using this water disaster determination data, it is determined whether the water level due to flooding in the surrounding area exceeds the determination value of whether or not water conveyance is necessary.

If it is determined that the water level exceeds the determination value, the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 outputs a water level danger signal to the water conveyance operation processing section 94 . On the other hand, the flooding situation management section 90 of the water conveyance/drainage device control section 82 has information on the current water storage level (water storage amount) of the parking facility 1, and the water inundation situation management section 90 of the water conveyance/drainage device control section 82 has information on the current water storage level (water storage amount) of the parking facility 1, and is able to respond to requests from the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 or voluntarily. The water storage level information in the parking facility 1 is sent to the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92. Regarding this water storage level information, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 also has water storage permission determination data in a table format that compares the water storage level information and the water conveyance permissibility corresponding to the water storage level information. Then, using this water storage permission determination data, it is determined whether or not the water storage level at the start of water conveyance exceeds a determination value for whether or not water can be conveyed.

If it is determined that the water storage level does not exceed the determination value, that is, water can be conveyed, the water conveyance/drainage determining section 92 outputs a water conveyance permission signal to the water conveyance operation processing section 94 . Further, the entry/exit management unit 104 of the parking equipment control unit 84 has information regarding the presence or absence of vehicles in the vehicle parking layer to which water is to be conveyed, and upon a request from the water conveyance/drainage determining unit 92 or voluntarily The vehicle presence/absence information is sent to the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92. Based on this vehicle presence/absence information, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 and the warehouse entry/exit management unit 104 perform a cooperative processing operation to determine whether water conveyance is possible or not depending on the presence or absence of a vehicle.

The determination processing operation based on the vehicle presence/absence information is executed as follows.
a) When there is no vehicle in the vehicle parking layer to be guided, it is determined that water can be guided, and the water channeling/drainage determining section 92 outputs a water channeling OK signal to the water channeling operation processing section 94 .
b) If there is a vehicle on the vehicle parking layer where water is to be conveyed, check whether the vehicle can be moved to the vehicle parking layer above the vehicle parking layer, and if it is possible to move, it is determined that water can be conveyed, and water conveyance/drainage is performed. The determination unit 92 outputs a water conveyance OK signal to the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 .
c) There is a vehicle in the vehicle parking layer to which water is to be conveyed, and when it is checked whether the vehicle can be moved to the vehicle parking layer above the vehicle parking layer, if it is not possible to move, the external signal reception control unit 80 receives flood warning information, checks this flood warning information, and determines that water should be channeled if the risk distribution of the flood warning is equivalent to alert level 4 or higher, and the water channel/drainage determination section 92 determines that water should be channeled. A water conduction OK signal is output to the operation processing section 94. This is an emergency measure to prevent a major flood since there is a possibility that the area around the parking facility 1 will be hit by a major flood.

Since the water conveyance OK signal is output as a result of the determination for each of the cases a) to c) above, the water conveyance OK signal corresponds to the determination result in any one of the cases a) to c). Only the signal is output. When the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 receives the water level danger signal, the water conduction permission signal, and the water conduction OK signal from the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92, the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 activates the water conveyance device to start and execute water conveyance.

(Operation during water introduction)
During water conveyance, water level information sent from the external signal reception control section 80, water storage level information sent from the water conveyance/drainage device control section 82, and water conveyance OK signal sent from the parking equipment control section 84 (all of which are detected water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 monitors the water supply/drainage determination unit 92 and executes the determination. In this determination processing operation, the water conveyance operation continues while the determination result satisfies the water conveyance conditions, and the water conveyance pipes 36, 38, 40, 42 and the water intake units 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, Water is conveyed by a water conveying device constituted by 54, and water is guided into the parking facility 1 and stored in the parking section 10. As a result, the increase in water caused by water is suppressed in the area surrounding the parking facility 1, and flooding and inundation of water under the floor, above the floor, etc. is suppressed.

On the other hand, in the determination processing operation by the water conveyance/drainage determining section 92, if the determination result is such that the water conveyance conditions are not satisfied, a water conveyance stop signal is output from the water conveyance/drainage determining section 92 to the water conveyance operation processing section 94. When the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 receives the water conveyance stop signal, the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 turns off the water conveyance device to stop water conveyance. The judgment result does not satisfy the conditions for water conveyance when water is conveyed and water accumulation in the parking facility 1 progresses and the first level parking floor 18 is submerged or flooded, or when the water accumulation progresses further. This refers to a state in which the second tier parking floor 20 or the third tier parking floor 22 is submerged or flooded. The above-described automatic driving operation process can also be executed when the automatic driving vehicle placed on the first tier parking floor 18 is evacuated to the upper parking floor 64 or 66.

(Draining operation)
After performing the water conveyance processing operation as described above, the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 determines whether the area surrounding the parking facility 1 is flooded based on the water level information sent from the water level information receiving section 86 of the external signal reception control section 80. It is determined whether the accompanying water level exceeds the determination value for whether or not drainage is possible. If it is determined that the water level does not exceed the determination value, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 stops outputting the water level danger signal to the water conveyance operation processing unit 94 and sends a drainage instruction signal to the drainage operation processing unit 96. Output. In addition, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 determines whether or not the water storage level exceeds a determination value indicating whether or not drainage is required, based on the water storage level sent from the flooding situation management unit 90 of the water conveyance/drainage device control unit 82. Determine. When it is determined that the water storage level exceeds the determination value (has reached a level at which water conveyance is impossible), the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 stops the water conveyance permission signal that has been output to the water conveyance operation processing unit 94. At the same time, a drainage instruction signal is output to the drainage operation processing section 96. Note that the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 does not execute the determination based on the vehicle presence/absence information sent from the parking facility control unit 84's entry/exit management unit 104. When the drainage operation processing section 96 receives the drainage instruction signal from the water conveyance/drainage determining section 92, it starts the drainage device 58 to start and execute drainage.

(Operation during drainage)
During drainage, the water level information sent from the external signal reception control section 80, the water storage level information sent from the water conveyance/drainage device control section 82, and the water conveyance OK signal sent from the parking equipment control section 84 (all of which are detected) water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 monitors the water supply/drainage determination unit 92 and executes the determination. In this judgment processing operation, if the judgment result does not satisfy the drainage conditions (if the water rises again and the water level around the parking facility 1 rises to a level where drainage is impossible), the water conveyance/drainage judgment unit 92 outputs a drainage stop signal to the drainage operation processing unit 96, and when the drainage operation processing unit 94 receives the drainage stop signal, it turns off the drainage device 58 to stop drainage.

[Forced operation]
When the forced operation command receiving section 88 of the external signal reception control section 80 receives a forced operation command from the management room (including the head office or maintenance department) of the parking facility 1, the forced operation command receiving section 88 transmits this forced operation command information to the water conveyance/drainage determination section. Send to 92. When the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 receives the forced operation command information, it starts the water conveyance operation, stops the water conveyance operation, and stops the drainage operation even if some of the determination results do not satisfy the determination conditions.

(Forced operation during water conveyance start operation)
In this case, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 receives the water level information received by the water level information receiving section 86, the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 ignores the determination result of the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 as to whether the water conveyance is necessary or unnecessary. do. Moreover, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 receives the vehicle presence/absence information sent from the entry/exit management unit 104, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 conveys water regardless of the presence or absence of a vehicle in the vehicle parking layer to be conveyed. On the other hand, the water storage level information from the parking equipment flooding situation management unit 90 is not subject to the determination operation. This is because water cannot be introduced when the parking lot 10 is full of water.

In addition, in both of the above-mentioned determination of whether water conveyance is necessary or unnecessary and determination of the presence or absence of vehicles in the vehicle parking layer to be conveyed, the water conveyance/drainage device control unit 82, when receiving a forced operation command, asks the operator for confirmation. demand. The contents of the confirmation include the final confirmation of the forced operation and the entry and exit of the vehicle before carrying out the forced operation.

(Forced operation to stop water conveyance)
In this case, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 receives the water level information received by the water level information receiving section 86, the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 ignores the determination result of the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 as to whether the water conveyance is necessary or unnecessary. stop. In addition, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 receives water storage level information sent from the parking facility flooding situation management unit 90, the water storage level determined by the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 is the judgment value of whether water can be conveyed or not. Ignore the result and stop water conveyance. On the other hand, the vehicle presence/absence information sent from the entry/exit management unit 104 is not subject to the determination operation. This is because the presence or absence of a vehicle is not a condition for stopping water conveyance.

(Forced operation to stop drainage)
In this case, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 receives the water level information received by the water level information reception section 86, the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92 ignores the determination result of whether drainage is possible or not determined by the water conveyance/drainage determination section 92, and drains the water. stop. In addition, even if the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 receives water storage level information sent from the parking equipment flooding situation management unit 90, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 determines that the water storage level determined by the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 92 indicates that drainage is necessary or unnecessary. Ignore it and stop water conveyance. On the other hand, the vehicle presence/absence information sent from the entry/exit management unit 104 is not subject to the determination operation. This is because the presence or absence of a vehicle is not a condition for stopping water conveyance.

In addition, in both cases of determining whether drainage is possible or not, and determining whether drainage is necessary or unnecessary, when receiving a forced operation command, the water conveyance/drainage device control unit 82 requests confirmation from the operator. . The contents of the confirmation include the final confirmation of the forced operation and the entry and exit of the vehicle before carrying out the forced operation.

However, in the parking equipment control device according to the third example, a plurality of additionally provided functional units perform operations corresponding to their respective functions, so the explanation that partially overlaps with the control operation of the second example is The overall control operation that occurs will be explained.

The parking and leaving operations of the automatic driving vehicle 28 under normal conditions are performed in the same manner as the control operations of the parking facility 1 executed by the control devices of the first and second examples described above. In addition, even during normal entry/exit operations, the parking equipment control device receives water level information transmitted from water level sensors installed in the surrounding area of the parking equipment 1 by a water level information receiving unit (numeral 86 in the first example). However, the same applies to the point where the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 178 determines whether water conveyance or drainage is necessary or unnecessary.

When the water level in the surrounding area rises due to rain or the like, in the control unit 160 of the parking facility, the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 178 determines whether water conveyance is necessary or unnecessary. As a result of this determination, if it is determined that water conveyance is “required”, the determination result signal is transmitted from the water conveyance/drainage determination unit 178 to the operation determination unit for the automatic driving vehicle 28 of the parking equipment control unit 164 through the signal line 180. 174.

If so, it is determined that the vehicle is self-driving.

Here, the exit permission application signal outputted from the exit permission application signal receiving section 184 to the operation determining section 174 and its processing will be explained. The water conveyance/drainage determination unit 178 determines whether water conveyance is necessary or not, and this determination result signal is sent to the operation determination unit 174 for the automatic driving vehicle 28, but not only that, the determination result signal is also sent to the external signal reception control The information is also sent to the unit 168 and the exit permission application signal transmitting unit 182 therein. The leaving permission application signal transmitting unit 182 transmits the received leaving permission application signal to the leaving permission application signal receiving unit 198 on the control unit 162 side of the automatic driving vehicle 28 .

The leaving permission application signal receiving unit 198 transfers this leaving permission application signal to the leaving permission application signal determining unit 194, and the leaving permission application signal determining unit 194 determines whether to apply for permission to leave the automated vehicle 28 based on this leaving permission application signal. Determine whether or not. The exit permission application signal that has been determined and processed by the exit permission application signal determination unit 194 is sent from the exit permission application signal determination unit 194 to the exit permission application signal transmission unit 200, and the exit permission application signal transmission unit 200 determines the exit permission. The application signal is sent to the exit permission application signal receiving section 184 on the control section 160 side of the parking facility 1. The leaving permission application signal receiving unit 184 sends the received leaving permission application signal to the operation determining unit 174 for the automatic driving vehicle 28, and this sending operation is as described above.

When the operation determination unit 174 makes the operation determination for the automatic driving vehicle 28 , the operation determination result signal is sent from the operation determination unit 174 for the automatic driving vehicle 28 to the entry/exit operation processing unit 176 . When the received operation determination result signal indicates that "the parked vehicle is an autonomous vehicle," the entry/exit operation processing unit 176 generates an entry/exit operation processing signal for causing the automated driving vehicle 28 to enter or exit the garage. is sent to the shipping operation signal transmitting section 186. The exit operation signal transmission unit 186 sends this entry/exit operation processing signal to the exit operation signal reception unit 148 on the control unit 162 side of the automatic driving vehicle 28 . In the control unit 162 of the automatic driving vehicle, the entry/exit operation processing signal sent to the exit operation signal receiving unit 148 is transferred to the automatic driving operation processing unit 146, and the automatic driving operation processing unit 146 causes the automatic driving vehicle 28 to automatically drive. let

The automatic driving vehicle 28 can enter and exit the parking facility 1 by automatic driving. In the control device of this example, as described with respect to the control device of the second example, a water conveying device is configured including a water pipe represented by the reference numeral 36 and a water intake unit represented by the reference numeral 44. When the first level parking floor 18 is submerged or submerged due to the accumulation of water in the parking facility 1, the self-driving vehicle placed on the first level parking floor 18 is transferred to the upper parking floor 64. Alternatively, when the vehicle is evacuated to 66, the automatic driving operation process described above can be executed.

<Second embodiment>
FIG. 5 is a side view showing the internal configuration of the parking facility according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, arrow W shown in the figure indicates the width direction of the parking facility, arrow D indicates the depth direction of the parking facility, and arrow H indicates the height direction of the parking facility. Moreover, in this embodiment, the width direction W may be rephrased as "the lateral direction of the parking equipment", and the depth direction D may be rephrased as the "longitudinal direction of the parking equipment".

The parking facility 1 in FIG. 5 is generally similar in structure to the parking facility 1 shown in FIG. 1, and the functions of each member are also the same, so the same members are given the same reference numerals and will be described in detail. is omitted. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes an underground parking facility according to the present embodiment, which includes a parking lot 10 in which a vehicle is parked, and a water conveyance device that conveys water using the parking lot 10. ing. The difference between the parking facility 1 according to this embodiment and the parking facility 1 shown in FIG. 1 is that in the latter, the first layer parking floor 18, the second layer parking floor 20, and the third layer parking floor 22 are made of concrete In contrast, in the parking facility 1 according to the present embodiment, the parking part of the vehicle is constructed in the frame structure 60 using a metal material or the like, whereas the parking facility 1 is constructed integrally with the frame of the parking facility 1 by pouring or the like. , this frame structure 60 is installed in the parking section 10 which is the space of the parking facility 1. From this configuration, the parking facility 1 shown in FIG. 5 is a parking facility 1 equipped with a mechanical parking device.

The frame structure 60 includes columns 60, 68, 70, 72 installed on the floor of the parking lot 10, and a plurality of layers of parking shelves 62, 64, 66 supported by the columns 60. It consists of: The pillars include a rear pillar 68 that stands up along the height direction H at the farthest side in the depth direction D when viewed from the entrance/exit 8 side of the parking facility, and a rear pillar 68 that stands up along the height direction H at the furthest side in the depth direction D when viewed from the entrance/exit 8 side of the parking facility. A proximal support column 70 rising along the height direction H on the near side, and an intermediate support column 72 rising along the height direction H between the back support column 68 and the proximal support column 70 are provided. The distance between the rear support column 68, the proximal support column 70, and the intermediate support column 72 is a sufficient length to accommodate the parked automatic driving vehicle 28 with ample space.

The parking shelf includes a first stage parking shelf 62 supported by supports 68, 70, and 72 near the floor surface of the parking lot 10, and a second stage parking shelf 62 supported at a position midway between the height dimensions of the supports 68, 70, and 72. It is configured to include a parking shelf 64 and a third stage parking shelf 66 supported at a position close to the top of the height dimensions of columns 68, 70, 72.
