BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an entry / exit operation device for a multilevel parking facility in which a large number of vehicle-mounted cages are circulated to store vehicles.

(Prior Art and Problems Thereof) The applicant of the present application first divides operation buttons, switches, etc. into a plurality of sequentially changing screens and displays them on a display unit, and a predetermined part of a touch sensor corresponding to the buttons, switches, etc. on that screen. By touching, a storage / unloading operation device (Japanese Patent Application No. 61-302438) for a multi-level parking facility is proposed, in which an operation signal is output and the screen is sequentially changed to perform an interactive driving operation.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of an entry / exit operation device of a multilevel parking facility which is an example of this proposal. In the figure,
Reference numeral 20 denotes a display for dividing a display required for driving operation of the multi-level parking device into a plurality of screens, and a touch sensor 21 is arranged on the display surface of the display unit 20 in an overlapping manner. When a portion of the touch sensor 21 corresponding to a predetermined position on the display screen of the display unit 20 is touched by the operator, coordinate data corresponding to the portion is transmitted to the control unit 22 as a touch input. By determining the input from the touch sensor 21, the display unit 20 calls the display screen required for the next step of the driving operation, drives the drive unit 23 of the multi-storey parking facility, and sets the I / O device 24. It is configured to send and receive a predetermined signal to and from detectors 39a, 39b, 39c, etc. that detect entry and exit of vehicles to and from the multilevel parking facility.
A warehousing / unloading operation device 26 is configured by the display unit 20, the touch sensor 21, the control unit 22, the terminal device 25, and the like. If a terminal device 25 for inputting display data and the like is connected to the control unit 22, the display screen of the display unit 20 can be edited.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing an entrance / exit 27a portion of a multilevel parking facility 27 in which the above-mentioned loading / unloading operation device 26 is installed. In the figure, reference numeral 26a denotes a user operation unit including a combination of the display unit 20 and the touch sensor 21, and an administrator operation unit 26b is provided side by side.

By configuring the loading / unloading operation device 26 as described above,
You can easily perform warehousing / unloading operations without requiring knowledge of operating procedures, etc., and because operation buttons are displayed on the screen, you can easily respond to changes in specifications, etc., and display them on multiple screens. Therefore, the area of the operation panel can be kept small.

By the way, the operation and the operation procedure at the time of starting the loading / unloading operation device shown in FIG. 2 are performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

First, a staff member or the like supplies power to the warehousing / leaving operation device 26 to activate the warehousing / leaving operation device 26 (step S1). As a result, the touch sensor 21 is turned on, that is, the display unit 20.
When the operator touches a portion corresponding to a predetermined position on the display screen, the coordinate data corresponding to that portion is transmitted to the control unit 22 as a touch input (step S
2). Then, the initial screen is displayed on the display unit 20 (step S3). Here, as the initial screen, for example, each item of “1. Membership” and “2. General” and a message indicating that any one of these items should be touched by a hand are displayed.

Next, on the screen of the display unit 20, for example, when the operator touches the item “2. General”, coordinate data corresponding to that portion is transmitted from the touch sensor 21 to the control unit 22 as a touch input, and touch input is performed. Is confirmed (step S4). Then, the first message is displayed in response to the touch input (step S81). On this screen, for example, in addition to the number of empty vehicles, the actual number of vehicles, the entrance number, and the calling number, the letters "1. Start" and "2. Cancel", and either of these, touch the relevant part with your hand. A message is displayed. Here, when the operator touches the "2. Cancel" portion, the display returns to the screen of step S3, and the initial screen is displayed on the display unit 20. On the other hand, when the operator touches the "1. Start" portion of the screen, the display changes to the next screen, and a message is displayed on this screen to warn the user that the machine will start. Then, a message indicating that the casing is being called and a pattern in which each cage is in rotary operation are displayed on the display unit 20. When the calling cage arrives at the doorway 27a, the door of the doorway 27a is opened and the multi-level parking device is in a driving lock state. Then, a message to the effect that the goods can be taken in and out is displayed on the display unit 20 (step S82). In the case of warehousing, if the vehicle is loaded into the waiting cage here, for example, the detector 39 among the detectors shown in FIG.
When a confirms receipt of goods, a receipt signal is transmitted to the control unit 22.
The same applies to the case of shipping, and when the shipping is completed, the detector 39a
The warehousing signal is transmitted to the control unit 22. That is, it is determined whether or not the warehousing / leaving signal is transmitted from the detector 39a to the control unit 22 (step S83). A message and a confirmation button are displayed. When the operator touches the part of the confirmation button, the operation lock state of the multi-level parking device is released, and when the end of the series of operations and operations is confirmed (step S7), the initial screen is displayed again. (Step S3).

In the warehousing / discharging operation device 26, operation buttons, switches and the like are displayed on the display unit 20 even when the driving operation is not performed. For example, in step S4, the initial screen is displayed until the touch input is confirmed. Therefore, if the loading / unloading operation device 26 is not operated for a long time, the same pattern will be displayed on the display unit 20 for a long time. As described above, the display of the same pattern for a long time causes the display unit 20 to be burned, the light emitting element is deteriorated, and the brightness of the display unit 20 is also deteriorated. That is, the life of the display unit 20 is shortened.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and provides a loading / unloading operation device for a multilevel parking facility, which can prevent the display unit from being burned and the like and can prolong the life of the display unit. The purpose is to provide.
