Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is applicable to airports, theme parks,
It relates to a large-scale multi-storey parking lot plant used for base stations, large buildings, etc. with high capacity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The inventor has provided a loading berth and a loading lift on a loading / unloading floor, a loading berth and a loading lift on a parking floor, and a carriage for a vehicle and a traveling lane of the vehicle on a parking floor, and parking on both sides of the traveling lane. We proposed a multi-storey parking lot with shelves and connecting the parking floor with the loading / unloading floor by a lift. In this multi-storey parking lot, conveyors such as slat conveyors and rollers are provided on each of the berth, the lift, the carriages, and the parking shelves, and the vehicles are slid on the conveyors for delivery. For this reason, it is not necessary to use a pallet as in a conventional multi-storey parking lot, and unnecessary work of returning empty pallets becomes unnecessary. Along with this, the cycle time of loading and unloading is improved about twice as long as the conventional one. Further, in this multi-storey parking lot, the processing of the berth, the lift, and the carriage can be simultaneously progressed in parallel, and the time required for loading and unloading can be further shortened. The inventor of the present invention has developed such a hardware for a multi-storey parking lot in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-27.
Published in 1584, and its control software is disclosed in JP-A-1
It was published in No. 271585. Increasing the speed of the multi-storey car park means that the waiting time for the user does not increase even if the number of vehicles accommodated increases, which leads to an increase in the number of vehicles accommodated. For this reason, this multi-storey car park is adopted, and the parking capacity is 10
Something from 0 to 500 is being built.

Such a multi-storey parking lot has a high speed and is suitable for further enlargement into a scale called a plant. For example, an airport parking lot requires a multi-level parking lot with a capacity of 1000 or more, and it is conceivable to construct such a multi-level parking lot as a multi-level parking lot plant with a capacity of 1,000 or more. In order to increase the capacity of the multi-storey car park, it is necessary to have multiple parking floors. If the parking floor is multi-tiered, the load on the lift will increase, and unless the capacity of the lift is increased, it is impossible to increase the size of the multilevel parking lot. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned simultaneous advancing type multi-story parking lot, many conventional parking lots have three parking floors. In order to increase the size of the multi-storey car park, the unit is the entry and exit lifts,
It is necessary to organically combine a unit consisting of a receiving berth, an outgoing berth, and a combination of a traveling lane arranged vertically to these berths, a carrier, and a parking rack. In particular, it is necessary to separate the traffic line of a vehicle from the traffic line of a person to improve safety.

As a usability problem considered by the inventor, there is a problem that a vehicle that has entered the storage berth forwardly can be forwarded from the delivery berth and does not need to be backed. In addition, it is important for the user to easily understand the location of his or her outgoing berth so that his or her vehicle can be naturally guided to the outgoing berth. Another problem with the multi-storey car park is a lift failure. If the lift breaks down, the vehicle will not be able to leave the multi-storey car park until the repair is complete, and the user will not be able to use their vehicle. It is important to have a fail-safe function for such troubles.

Further, there is a problem that the user who requests the garage leaves the car by leaving the car behind. For example, the user leaves the place when he or she wants to pick up something forgotten or makes a phone call. In this case, the user has requested to leave the vehicle, and the vehicle is delivered to the delivery berth. Here, when the user leaves the place, the car is left in the leaving berth, and the subsequent leaving operation stops.

[0006]

An object of the invention of claim 1 is that 1) even if the parking floor is increased to more than 4 steps to increase the storage capacity, it can be operated smoothly, and 2) it is easy to guide the user to the exit berth. 3) You can enter the car in the forward direction and leave the car in the forward direction, 4) Separate the flow lines of the outgoing vehicle and the incoming vehicle, 5) Separate the traffic lines of the person and the vehicle, and 6) Increase the carrying capacity of the carrier truck. The objective is to minimize the increase of 7) and enhance the safety in case of failure. In addition to the above 1) to 7), the object of the invention of claim 2 is 8) to prevent the user from leaving the vehicle leaving the place and leaving the place 9). The aisle and the people's aisle when leaving
It is to facilitate orderly movement.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the loading and unloading floor is provided with a loading berth in contact with the loading and unloading floor, the loading and unloading berth is provided in contact with the loading and unloading lift, and the transport floor and its traveling lane are provided on the parking floor. Moreover, parking shelves are provided on both sides of the traveling lane, the parking floor and the loading / unloading floor are connected by a loading lift and a loading lift, and a conveyor is provided for each of these berths, lifts, transport carriages, and parking shelves, and the vehicle is driven by the conveyor. In a multi-storey parking lot plant that is designed to be delivered, a loading lift and a loading berth, a loading lift and a loading berth, and a traveling lane and a carriage for each parking floor are provided.
As a unit, a plurality of these units are arranged in parallel, four lifts are provided per unit, and they are assigned in the order of (warehousing, warehousing, warehousing, warehousing) or (warehousing, warehousing, warehousing, warehousing), and a warehousing berth for each warehousing lift. , A delivery berth is provided for each delivery lift, and the first two lifts in the above-mentioned lift allocation order are a pair of first lifts, and the next two lifts are a pair of second lifts, There should be at least four levels of parking floors, the parking floors should be divided into two groups, a first group and a second group, the first group should be assigned to a pair of first lifts, and the second group should be a second group. Of the first lift pair and the second lift pair, and a passenger passage is provided between the entry lift and the exit lift of each lift pair in the first and second lift pairs. pair Characterized in that a vehicle path between. Preferably, the occupant passage is divided into a passage for exiters from the storage berth and a passage for exiters to the exit berth, and the exit of the exit passage from the exiter passage is prevented at the entrance of the exit passage. Establish a sex gate.

The operation of the invention will be described. In this invention, four lifts are provided for each traveling lane of the carrier truck. The lift is divided into a warehousing exclusive use and an unloading exclusive use, and the layout thereof is, for example, (reception, unloading, unloading, warehousing) or (unloading, warehousing, warehousing, unloading). By thus increasing the capacity of the lift, it is possible to increase the number of parking floors and increase the number of vehicles that can be accommodated. Second of doing this
The effect of is in improving the fail-safe function. For example, in the case of using only two lifts, one for exclusive use of the storage and the other for exclusive use of the output, if the output lift fails, the input lift will be diverted to the output lift temporarily. The process involved is extremely complicated, and in effect the multi-storey car park will not function until the exit lift is repaired. On the other hand, if four lifts are provided per driving lane, for example,
If the original shipping lift fails, the shipping work can be continued using the remaining shipping lift.

[0009] Another advantage of arranging the lift as (incoming, outgoing, outgoing, incoming) or (outgoing, incoming, incoming, outgoing) is that, for example, a vehicle that has entered in forward can exit in forward. is there. With respect to this point, referring to FIG. 1, I1 and I2 in the figure are storage lifts, and E3 and E4
Is a delivery lift. Then, the vehicle entering from the entry lift I1 is exited from the entry lift E3. Lift I1
Since there is no mechanism for changing the direction of the vehicle between the elevator E3 and the lift E3, the vehicle that has entered the warehousing lift I1 in the forward direction is unloaded in the forward direction from the unloading lift E3. Similarly, a vehicle that has entered the warehousing lift I2 in the forward direction exits from the unloading lift E4 in the forward direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to back the vehicle when leaving the warehouse.

As is apparent from FIG. 1, the delivery lift E3
There is only a delivery vehicle in the passage between the delivery elevator E4 and the delivery lift E4. In this way, the flow lines of the incoming vehicle and the outgoing vehicle can be separated to improve safety. Further, in FIG.
Reference numeral 14 is a passage, which separates the flow of people and the flow of vehicles and makes a unidirectional movement, so that it is possible to move orderly and safely.

In order to realize these things, the parking floor is divided into at least two groups for each stage, and the parking floor is assigned to the entry lift I1 and the exit lift E3.
It is necessary to classify and manage into two groups, the parking floor assigned to the entry lift I2 and the exit floor E4. Then, the concept of a lift pair is born. For example, in the case of FIG. 1, the warehousing lift I1 and the warehousing lift E3 are one pair, and the warehousing lift I2 and the warehousing lift E4 are other pairs. The parking floor is divided into stages and managed corresponding to the pair of these two lifts. However, in order to realize the above-mentioned fail-safe function, each lift should be able to be connected to all parking floors in terms of hardware.

For comparison, the multi-storey parking lot shown in FIG. 1 is divided between the exit lift E3 and the exit lift E4, and two independent lifts are provided.
Consider the case of constructing one multi-storey car park. In this case, the traveling lane of the carrier on the parking floor is cut off between the exit lift E3 and the exit lift E4, and the entrance lift I
1 and the exit lift E3, and the entry lift I2 and the exit lift E4 form a completely independent and separate multistory parking lot.
Comparing this comparative example with the present invention, the number of lifts per storage capacity does not change. However, the number of transport carriages in the present invention is half that of the comparative example. Therefore, the present invention is more advantageous in cost than the comparative example. Further, in this comparative example, the fail-safe function against the failure of the lift is not realized.

Next, when the invention of claim 2 is examined,
The user who requested the delivery at the management center 16 in FIG.
When leaving the place, the vehicle is left in the exit berth B2, and the function of the multi-story parking lot stops. The user leaves the place when, for example, he / she makes a phone call or picks up something forgotten.
On the other hand, for example, a one-way gate 18 may be provided at the entrance of the exit passage 14 so that a user who has entered the passage 14 cannot exit from the gate 18. Further, if the passage 12 and the passage 14 are separated, the moving direction of the person is one direction, so that the person can easily move.

EXAMPLE FIGS. 1 to 10 show a multi-storey parking lot plant according to an example. 1 to 3 show hardware of a multi-storey parking lot plant, and FIGS. 4 to 9 show a guidance system at the time of warehousing. Further, FIG. 10 shows a human interface at the time of leaving.

[0015]

[Hardware of multi-level parking lot plant] Fig. 1 shows a loading / unloading floor 2 of the multi-level parking lot plant. Loading / unloading floor 2
Is installed on the ground floor of the plant, 3 of the 4 surroundings are connected to the access road, and the remaining 1 is through a pedestrian crossing,
For example, connect to an airport building. In the figure, 4 and 6 are warehousing zones, and 8 and 10 are warehousing zones. A large number of warehousing lifts I1 and I2 are provided in the warehousing zones 4 and 6, and a large number of warehousing lifts E3 and E4 are also provided in the warehousing zones 8 and 10, respectively.
To provide. The warehousing lift provided in the warehousing zone 4 is I1, and the warehousing lift provided in the warehousing zone 6 is I2. Further, the delivery lift provided in the delivery zone 8 is E3, and the delivery lift provided in the delivery zone 10 is E4. The lifts are arranged in the order of (warehousing, warehousing, warehousing, warehousing), but the same can be done by reversing (lifting, warehousing, warehousing, warehousing). The warehousing lift I1 and the warehousing lift E3 form one lift pair, and the warehousing lift I2 and the warehousing lift E4.
And become a pair of other lifts. The warehousing berth B1 is connected to the warehousing lifts I1 and I2, respectively.
The delivery berth B2 is connected to each E4. Bath B
1, B2 are provided with slat conveyors respectively, and lifts I1, I2, E3, E4 are provided with rollers respectively, so that the vehicle can be passed between the lifts I1 to E4 and the berths B1 and B2 by a skid motion. Keep it.

Reference numeral 12 is an exit passage for the warehousing person, and 14 is an exit passage for the warehousing person. Reference numeral 16 is a management center, in which staff members are resident and provided with a control terminal for a multi-storey parking lot plant. Reference numeral 18 denotes a one-way gate provided between the passages 12 and 14, which can enter the passage 14 from the passage 12, but prohibits a person from returning from the passage 14 to the passage 12. Warehousing lift I1
The delivery lift E3 is provided back to back across the passages 12 and 14, and similarly, the entry lift I2 and the delivery lift E4 are also provided back to back across the passages 12 and 14.

FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of the parking floor 20. In the figure, the parking floors 20 are arranged in 6 levels, and groups of 3 levels are managed as parking floor groups 22 and 24. In the figure, the group 22 on the parking floor is the lift I1,
The entry / exit is processed at E3, and the group 24 on the parking floor is processed by the lifts I2 and E4. However, in terms of hardware, the lifts I1 and I2 are not distinguished, and similarly, the lifts E3 and E4 are not distinguished. That is, in terms of hardware, the lifts I1, I2, E3, E4 are connected to all the parking floors 20. However, in the operation other than the emergency, the warehousing lift I1 carries only the warehousing vehicle to the group 22,
The delivery lift E3 carries only the delivery vehicles from the group 22. Similarly, the lift I2 carries only the warehousing vehicles to the group 24, and the lift E4 carries only the warehousing vehicles from the group 24.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the parking floor 20. In the figure, 25 is a traveling lane, 26 is a carrier truck, and a traveling lane 2
Parking shelves 28 are provided on both sides of 5. For example, if there are about 40 parking shelves 28 per traveling lane 25 (20 on each side × 2), and about 10 lanes on one parking floor 20,
The number of accommodations per parking floor 20 is about 400. Further, the conveyor carts 26 and the parking shelves 28 are each provided with a conveyor made of rollers so that the vehicles can be delivered. The lifts I1, I2, E3, E4 are provided at positions facing the traveling lane 25 so that the vehicles can be delivered to and from the transport carriage 26 on each parking floor 20. In order to increase the storage capacity, two parking shelves 28 may be provided on each side of the traveling lane 25, and a total of four parking shelves 28 may be provided on both sides of the lane 25. Such modifications are also known. Here, one lane 25 and its carrier 26 and parking shelves 28, and the entry lifts I1, I2 and exit lifts E3, E4 below it.
And the berths B1 and B2 are one unit of the multi-storey parking lot plant. In the embodiment, since the parking floors 22 are provided in six stages, one unit has six lanes, and although six units are shown in FIG. 3 for convenience of illustration, it is preferable to provide about 10 units.

In such a three-dimensional parking lot plant,
The structures of a berth, a lift carrier, and a parking rack, and a vehicle delivery mechanism are known from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-271584. Further, the fact that the operation of the berth, the lift, and the carriage is made to proceed at the same time is known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-271585. The mechanism and the algorithm for the simultaneous progress processing may be as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-271584-585.

The hardware operation of the multi-story parking lot plant of the embodiment will be described. The user guidance system and the human interface are shown in Figs.
It will be described later using 0. If the number of accommodations per parking floor 20 is 400 and the parking floors 20 are stacked in six stages, for example, the number of accommodations per plant will be 2,400. This is a scale suitable as a multilevel parking lot at the base airport.

There are access roads on the three sides of the multi-storey parking lot plant, and vehicles entering the storage zone 4 can enter the storage berth B.
Self-propelled to 1 and stop here. When the user moves from the berth B1 to the opposite platform, the warehousing operation is started, and the vehicle is reloaded to the warehousing lift I1 which has been waiting in advance by using the slat conveyor of the berth B1 and the roller of the lift I1. The warehousing lift I1 has moved to the designated parking floor 20 and has been waiting in advance for the carrier truck 2
Transfer the vehicle to 6. The carrier truck travels on the traveling lane 25 and stops at a position facing the designated parking rack 28,
The vehicles are reloaded using the rollers of the carriage 26 and the rollers of the parking rack 28. Here, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-271585
According to the description of the publication, the lift I1 is moved to the loading / unloading floor 2 in synchronism with the entry of the vehicle into the berth B1, and the transport carriage 26 is moved to the position in contact with the lift I1 in synchronization with these. Let it run.

When the vehicle is stopped at berth B1, the user can leave the area, enter the aisle 12 from the platform, leave the multi-storey car park plant and proceed, for example, to the airport building. The user who is going to leave next passes the aisle 12 through the one-way gate 18 and presents the parking ticket to the management center 16. If there is a shortage charge, the payment is made at this time, and the management center 16 specifies the position of the outgoing berth B2 to the user. The position of the outgoing berth B2 is facing the incoming berth B1 and is extremely easy to understand. Therefore, instead of requesting the delivery at the management center 16, a ticket reader or the like is provided at each delivery berth B2,
The ticket received at the time of entering the goods may be inserted into the ticket reader and then exited. When you request a goods issue,
The transport vehicle 26 picks up the target vehicle from the parking rack 28, and in parallel with this, the exit lift E3 advances to the target parking floor 20 and receives the vehicle from the transport vehicle 26. Then, when the delivery lift E3 returns to the entry / exit floor 2, the vehicle appears on the delivery berth B2, and the user boards the vehicle and exits. The operation on the side of the entry lift I2 and the exit E4 is also the same as the operation on the entry lift I1 and the exit E3 side.

The vehicle that has entered the storage berth B1 forward is
It is possible to move out from the berth B2. This is because the multi-storey parking lot plant of the present invention does not include an operation for reversing the direction of the vehicle. Further, because the parking floor 20 is divided into groups 22 and 24 and managed, a vehicle using the warehousing lift I1 is unloaded from the unloading lift E3. Similarly, the warehousing lift I2
The vehicle using is delivered from the delivery lift E4. The positions of the incoming berth and the outgoing berth are opposite to each other with the passages 12 and 14 in between, which is easy for the user to understand. For example, a user of a vehicle using the warehousing lift I1 may move the unloading lift E4
It is unlikely that they will appear at the management center 16 on the side. Next, there are only exit vehicles in the exit zones 8 and 10,
The flow lines of the incoming vehicle and the outgoing vehicle can be separated to improve safety. Similarly, the passage of a person is separated into the passage 12 and the passage 14 to enable orderly movement.

When the lift is out of order, especially the delivery lift E
If 3, E4 breaks down, the function of the multi-storey car park plant will deteriorate. However, it is unlikely that the two delivery lifts E3 and E4 will fail at the same time, and even if one delivery lift fails, the remaining delivery lift can be used to continue the delivery operation. And for this, the extraordinary group 2
The distinction between 2 and 24 may be abolished and the user may be guided to the delivery lift on the remaining side at the management center 16. On the other hand, when there is only one exit lift, the user cannot use the parked vehicle if the exit lift fails.

A comparison will be made with a case where the multistory parking lot plant is divided into two between the shipping zones 8 and 10 and two separate multistory parking lot plants are constructed. The total number of lifts with respect to the total number of accommodated cars does not change in the present invention and the comparative example. However, in the comparative example, if even one lift fails, the function of the lane 25 connected to the lift stops. On the other hand, in the present invention, even if one of the lifts fails, it is possible to continue the warehousing work and the warehousing work using the remaining lift. Next, if the multi-storey parking lot plant is divided into two, the number of the carriages 26 is doubled. When the number of the parking floors 20 is increased, the burden is mainly added to the lifts I1, I2, E3, E4, and it is useless to increase the number of the expensive carrier vehicles 26.

[0026]

[Guiding system for warehousing] FIGS. 4 to 9 show a guiding system for warehousing. Although the drawing shows the storage zone 4 side, the same applies to the storage zone 6 side. As shown in FIG. 4, there are many receiving berths B1 in the receiving zone 4, a receiving lift I1 is connected to each receiving berth, a platform 30 is provided to the right of the berth B1, and an entrance instruction lamp 32 is provided on the ceiling. Set up. Symbols such as A, B, C, and D in the figure are indications of lanes.

The mechanism around the storage berth B1 is shown in FIG. 5. Reference numeral 30 is a platform, and 32 is the above-mentioned entrance instruction lamp, for example, two lamps of blue and red are provided. 34
Is a ticket issuing machine that issues parking tickets such as magnetic cards and bar code tickets. 36 and 37 are the above-mentioned lane displays, and 38 is a height limit bar for the entering vehicle. Reference numeral 40 is a circuit breaker that opens each time the ticket issuing machine 34 issues a ticket.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a video camera, for example, for monitoring the storage berth B1 at the management center 16. Reference numerals 44 and 46 are lights, 44 is a berth light for illuminating the berth B1, and 46 is a platform light for illuminating the platform 30. 48 and 48 are human body sensors,
A person on the platform 30 is detected. Human body sensor 4
An infrared sensor is used for 8, 48, for example. A ticket reader 50 reads a ticket such as a magnetic card issued by the ticket issuing machine 34. A CCD camera 52 reads the front part of the vehicle, especially the license plate of the vehicle. An exit gate 54 connects the exit passageway 12 and the platform 30, and the gate 54 is also unidirectional to guide a person from the platform 30 to the passageway 12. Conversely, the exit gate 54 is provided from the passageway 12 to the platform 30. Keep users inaccessible to. 56 and 57 are slat conveyors provided on the berth B1, 56 is a conveyor for the front wheels of the vehicle, and 57 is a conveyor for the rear wheels.

FIG. 6 shows these connection relationships. For example, a local processor is incorporated in the ticket issuing machine 34, and the auxiliary equipment of the receiving berth B1 is controlled by the local processor incorporated in the ticket issuing machine 34. Therefore, the local bus is arranged around the ticket issuing machine 34. Ticketing machine 3
4 is connected to the host computer 60, and the information of the vehicle entering the berth B1 is transmitted to the host computer 60,
The terminal is provided in the management center 16. Further, a speaker 58 is provided on the platform 30, and the speaker 58 is built in the ticket reader 50, for example. The host computer 60 controls the slat conveyors 56 and 57 of the receiving berth B1.
Host computer 6 performs processing from the delivery lift E3
Perform at 0.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 show the operation of the storage berth guidance system of the embodiment. These operations are event-driven processing according to individual stages involved in warehousing of a vehicle. Events are shown on the left side of the figure, and processing performed as a result of the events on the left side is shown on the right side.

FIG. 7 shows an outline of the operation. Normally, the circuit breaker 40 is down, the approach instruction lamp 32 is blue, and the illumination 4
The illuminances of 4 and 46 are suppressed. The vehicle which is about to enter the parking lot stops at the position of the ticket issuing machine 34, and when the parking fee for the first hour, for example, is paid, a parking ticket such as a magnetic card or a ticket with a bar code is issued. This ticket does not need to be written, and may be a simple bar code ticket other than a magnetic card. When the parking ticket is issued, the circuit breaker 40 is raised, and at the same time, the berth lighting 44 is brightened to guide the vehicle to the storage berth B1. Then, the vehicle stops at the position where the front wheels are placed on the slat conveyor 56. The slat conveyor 57 for the rear wheels is
Positioning is such that when the front wheels are stopped by the slat conveyor 56, the rear wheels ride on the slat conveyor 57.
In parallel with these, the approach instruction lamp 32 turns red, and the ticket issuing machine 34 calls the entry lift I1 to the berth B1 via the host computer 60.

The CCD camera 52 monitors the license plate of the vehicle. Therefore, since the input image of the CCD camera 52 has stopped moving, it can be detected that the vehicle has stopped. When the vehicle is stopped, the lights are switched, the berth lights 44 are darkened and the platform lights 46 are brightened. Subsequently, a voice announcement is made from the speaker 58 to guide the user. For example, make sure that there is no half-door, and that there is nothing left behind in the vehicle. It then asks to insert the ticket into the ticket reader 50. When the ticket is inserted, the ticket issuing machine 34 requests the host computer 60 to start the warehousing operation. The host computer 60 confirms whether or not the warehousing lift I1 has arrived, and if the warehousing lift I1 has arrived, the vehicle is skid sideways using the slat conveyors 56 and 57 and the rollers of the warehousing lift I1. Transship from B1 to warehousing lift I1. At the same time, the exit gate 54 is enabled and can be rotated, for example as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 6, to allow the user to exit the platform 30 into the aisle 12. At the same time, the approach instruction lamp 32 is switched from red to blue to indicate that the next vehicle can be stored, and the breaker 40 is closed. The reason why the circuit breaker 40 is closed at this stage is that it is considered that the vehicle stop position is improper and the vehicle may try to back at the stage so far. The circuit breaker 40 is, for example,
The vehicle may be closed when it is detected that the vehicle has stopped.

In parallel with these, the CCD camera 52 reads the vehicle number and transmits the vehicle number to the host computer 60 via the ticket issuing machine 34. Host computer 60
Is managed by a management table for each parking shelf 28, in which the ticket number, the vehicle number, the parking start time, and the presence / absence of a request for entry / exit are entered. Further, in addition to this, the host computer 60 stores queues regarding vehicle movements for each of the entrance lifts I1 and I2, the exit lifts E3 and E4, the berths B1 and B2, and the transport carriages 26. When it is confirmed by the human body sensor 48 that no one is present on the platform 30, the brightness of the platform illumination 46 is reduced and the exit gate 54 is locked.

In this way, the receiving berth B1 can be operated without a staff member. The same applies to the delivery berth B2 in that it is operated without an attendant. Next, in order to prevent troubles and crimes between users at the receiving berth B1, it is sufficient to put one vehicle at a time in the berth B1 and prevent users of other vehicles from being together on the platform 30. If there is no human contact, no trouble will occur.
This means opening and closing the circuit breaker 40 for each vehicle.
Making the gate 54 unidirectional to prevent people from returning from the passage 12 to the platform 30;
After there are no people at 0, turn off the lighting 46 and go to Gate 5
It is realized by locking 4. Further, the issuing of the parking ticket for the next vehicle may be delayed until the human body sensor 48 confirms that the user of the previous vehicle has exited the platform 30.

One of the main points of the guidance system for the warehousing vehicle of the embodiment is an announcement by the speaker 58. This control flowchart is shown in FIG. The CCD camera 52 detects that the vehicle has stopped, and the human body sensor 48
When you confirm that a person has appeared on the platform 30,
Start announcement. As for the item of announcement, for example, confirmation of half door prevention such as "Does the door closed?"
There are three types of confirmation, "Is there anything left behind?" To check if there is something left behind, and "Please insert a ticket" to confirm the ticket. Then, these announcements are repeated until a parking ticket is inserted in the ticket reader 50. First to make such an announcement
The reason is to literally prevent a thing left behind in the vehicle or a half-door. The second reason is to make the user remember to take out the parking ticket. If the user forgets the parking ticket in the vehicle, the management center 16 must confirm the vehicle of the user from the vehicle number. Therefore, the ticket is inserted into the ticket reader 50 to prevent the ticket from being left behind in the vehicle. In addition, inserting the ticket after the announcement "Is there anything left behind?" Also has the meaning of letting the user confirm that the vehicle is ready to be moved to the warehousing lift I1. When the ticket is inserted, the speaker 58 makes an announcement such as "please leave the gate" and repeats this announcement until the user leaves the aisle 12.

What is important in the operation of the multi-storey parking lot is that the discipline is not bad and the user is naturally guided. Illuminations 44 and 46 are used for this purpose in the exemplary embodiment (FIG. 9). In the state where the storage berth B1 is on standby for the storage operation, the approach instruction lamp 32 is blue and the illumination 4
The illuminance of each of Nos. 4 and 46 is lowered, and the berth B1 is darkened. Then, when a parking ticket is issued by the ticket issuing machine 34, the berth lighting 44 is brightened and the platform lighting 4 is turned on.
Leave 6 dark. In this way, the lighting instructs the user to proceed toward berth B1. The CCD camera 52 detects that the vehicle has stopped, and the berth lighting 4
4 to decrease the brightness and increase the brightness of the platform lighting 46. This instructs the user to move to the platform 30. If necessary, the speaker 58 may give an instruction such as "please move to platform" here. User walks from gate 54 to passage 12
When the player enters, the brightness of the platform lighting 46 is reduced and the initial standby state is restored. The person is guided toward the bright side, and is guided to the receiving berth B1 by the berth lighting 44 and then to the platform 30 by the platform lighting 46.

[Human Interface at Delivery] FIG. 10 shows a human interface at delivery. Since the four lifts are paired with two lifts, for example, the exit berth B2 from the incoming berth B1 to the vehicle that has entered is in the opposite direction. For this reason, the user who wants to leave the warehouse may return to the passage 12 that he / she once passed, and proceed from the gate 18 to B2, which is opposite the berth B1 in which he / she has entered. When the user proceeds to the management center 16 and inserts a parking ticket into a ticket reader (not shown), the user is instructed to settle the charge and the position of the delivery berth B2 assigned to him. Of course, instead of the user directly inserting the ticket into the ticket reader, the ticket may be given to the attendant once. The user who has been instructed the location of the berth B2 to be delivered advances to the platform 30 of the berth B2 and waits for the vehicle to be delivered. Then, when the vehicle is unloaded, you can board it and start from the aisle.

The problem here is that the user who requests the delivery of the goods remembers the things such as things forgotten and leaves the place. When this happens, the shipping berth B2
Will be blocked by the delivery vehicle, and the subsequent delivery work will stop. Particularly dangerous is the situation where the user leaves the multi-storey car park plant and cannot find the user. To this end, in the embodiment, a unidirectional gate 18 is provided between the passages 12, 14 to allow passage from passage 12 to passage 14 but not passage 14 to passage 12. This makes it impossible for the user to leave the aisle 14 and can be easily found even if the user leaves the place.

At the time of warehousing, the CCD camera 52 reads the license plate of the vehicle. The read vehicle number is digitized by a neural network or the like and sent to the host computer 60. Even if the user loses the parking ticket, if the vehicle number of his / her vehicle is transmitted to the management center 16, the vehicle number can be retrieved by the management center 16 and the vehicle can be delivered.
In this way, the multi-storey parking plant can be operated with almost no staff except for the management center 16.

A detailed modification of the embodiment will be described.
Although FIG. 2 shows that the parking floor 20 is provided above the building, the parking floor 20 may be provided underground. In the embodiment, the passage 12 is moved to the passage 14. However, the passage 12 is a passage for exclusive use of the warehousing person, another passage is provided between the passage 12 and the passage 14, and the passage exits through the gate 18 from the passage. You may make it move to the passage 14 for persons. Bath B
For 1 and B2, it is preferable to provide a sensor for confirming that the movement of the vehicle has ended between the lifts I1, I2, E3 and E4. With the CCD camera 52,
Instead of reading only the vehicle number, the entire front surface of the vehicle may be photographed and sent to the management center 16 as a video signal. As the timing for switching the approach instruction lamp 32 from red to blue, instead of the time when the ticket is read by the ticket reader 50, the berth B1 is moved to the warehousing lift I1.
It may be the time when the transshipment of the vehicle to
