Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an entry/exit control device for a parking lot that controls entry/exit of vehicles by operating a gate in a single aisle for entry/exit, and in particular records entry/exit using a microcomputer or the like. The present invention relates to an entry/exit control device for a parking lot that controls entry/exit of vehicles in a single aisle in connection with arithmetic control of fare settlement.

The entrance/exit side tII device for this type of parking lot is as follows:
Generally speaking, a so-called dedicated gate system is adopted in which the entry and exit entrances are separated from each other, but this type of equipment requires a large amount of space and requires two gate devices for entry and exit, making it costly. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time. On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which warehouses are loaded and unloaded using a single aisle, and conventionally, such loading and unloading is controlled by switching between a loading mode and a loading mode by manual operation.

However, with this method of switching the entry and exit modes in a single aisle, it is necessary to simultaneously grasp the entry and exit status of vehicles near the gate, which complicates control and makes unmanned operation possible from a safety perspective. This was difficult and caused confusion for customers who were unaccustomed to such single-aisle loading and unloading methods.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims to unmanned entry/exit control in a single aisle, and to unmanned entry/exit control in the parking lot without causing any hindrance when customers use this unmanned parking lot system. An object of the present invention is to provide a control device, and in order to achieve this object, when the recording means for recording the entry and exit times of vehicles, etc., and the parking fee settlement means are controlled for 7 seconds by a microcomputer etc., this calculation control is performed. In relation to this, the system is characterized in that it always gives priority to allowing vehicles to enter and leave the parking lot, except when the parking fee is being processed.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

One embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will next be explained with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3A and 3B.

SO is a vehicle detection state determination routine. For example, in S01, the vehicle detector 1 on the entry side
In the case where there is only output 2, that is, there is a vehicle trying to enter the warehouse but there is no vehicle attempting to leave the warehouse, this case will be referred to as a warehousing processing request P1 hereinafter. Similarly, SO2 is a case where there is only an output from the vehicle detector 18 on the leaving side, that is, a case where there is a vehicle trying to leave the warehouse but no vehicle trying to enter the warehouse.Hereinafter, this case will be compared to the leaving processing request P2. S
O3 is a case where the warehousing processing request P2 is given at the same time, that is, when the warehousing and the warehousing are simultaneously detected by the detector 12.18, and hereinafter this case will be referred to as a priority processing request pr.

First, the operation when there is a warehousing processing request P1 will be explained. For example, in the case of stocking by a normal user, step S
1, the ticket issuing device 114 starts operating, and in step S2 it is determined whether or not the issued parking ticket has been taken out. If it has been taken out, the gate 16G is opened in step S3,
In step S4, it is confirmed that the entered vehicle has passed the detector 18.

Next, in step S5, it is determined whether the above process was a process based on the priority process request Pr, and in this case, since this does not apply, the process goes to step S6 and the warehousing is completed. In addition, in the case of parking by a regular parking card user, steps 811 to 813 are only executed instead of steps S1 and S2, and the other steps are the same. That is, step 8
At step 11, the card reading determination device is put into a standby state, and at step S
In Step 12, it is determined whether or not the parking card has been inserted. If the card has been inserted, it is determined in Step S1'3 whether or not the card has been read. If the card has been read, it is determined in Step S3 as described above. go to.

Next, the operation when there is a shipping processing request P2 will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3B. First, step 8
At 31, the driver of the car leaving the parking lot determines whether or not the parking fee settlement has started.

If it is before the start of payment, it is determined in step 832 whether there was a warehousing processing request P1 at this time, that is, whether there were any cars trying to enter the warehousing at the same time, and if there were, the vehicle is moved to the garage side as in step S33. Wait until the skewers are finished entering the warehouse. If payment has already been started in step S31, the exit warning device 22a will be activated as shown in step S34.
, 22b and 22c are started. The driver of the car attempting to enter the parking lot notices that the vehicle is leaving the parking lot and waits. Then, in step S35, it is determined whether the fee settlement has been completed, and if it is determined that it has been completed, step 83
Step S6 stops the operation of the exit warning devices 22a, 22b, and 22c, the gate is opened in Step S37, and Step S838
At step S39, it is confirmed that the vehicle to be left has passed the detector 12, and at step S39, the vehicle leaving the garage is completed. Note that step 836
If the operation of the exit warning device is stopped after step S38, m-safety can be further maintained.

Next, regarding the case where there is a priority processing request pr, Fig. 3A
This will be explained with a flowchart. In this case, a car entering the parking lot and a car attempting to leave the parking lot are detected at the same time, and first, as shown in step 821, the parking alarm system @24a, 24b is activated.

24c is started, the driver of the skewer attempting to leave the garage is warned that there is another skewer entering the garage at the same time, and is requested to leave the garage and wait until the entrance of the vehicle entering the garage is completed. The processing from step 821 onwards is similar to the processing based on the warehousing processing request P1, from steps S1 to S4,
Alternatively, the processing in steps S11 to 813 and S4 is performed, and in step S5 it is determined whether the above processing is based on the priority processing request pr. In this case, since the process is based on the priority process request Pr, step 822
r, the operation of the warehousing alarm devices 24a, 24b, and 24C is stopped, and warehousing is completed in step S6.

An embodiment of the present invention is as described above, and when the parking lot enters and leaves the parking lot at the same time, the vehicle detection state determination routine determines that it is a priority processing request pr, and activates the warehousing alarm device to always give priority to parking. This allows users to access the site without any confusion or security issues. Further, in the case of the leaving processing request P2, if the car to be left is already in the payment process, the leaving alarm device is activated to give priority to leaving the garage.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily unmanned entry/exit control in the parking aisle, and the structure is configured such that vehicles leaving the parking lot are always given priority to enter the parking lot unless the fare payment has been completed. Therefore, entry and exit can be efficiently controlled without causing any hindrance to customers using this unmanned parking lot system.
