In addition, the warehousing reservation means 16 can also be provided in the warehousing port 4, the warehousing port 5, etc.

Moreover, in the following description, the vehicle which is going to enter (park) is called an incoming vehicle, the vehicle stored in the parking room 11 is called a parked vehicle, and the vehicle which is going to go out is called an outgoing vehicle.
The warehousing instruction means 14 is provided in the vicinity of the warehousing port 4 and is used to input data that can identify the warehousing vehicle of the user.

  As this data, in the case of a specific user, an employee number (also referred to as user data) registered in advance on the control device 17 side, a vehicle number (vehicle data, for example, a number described on a license plate) ), Etc., and in the case of a general user, if the parking ticket number described in the parking ticket issued by the warehousing instruction means 17 or electromagnetically recorded, or the vehicle number is requested to be input when the ticket is issued The vehicle number (ticket number, vehicle number is handled as vehicle data) or the like is used. Here, employee numbers and parking ticket numbers are used, and when these are collectively called, they are called identification numbers.

  Therefore, as the warehousing instruction means 14, specifically, for example, a touch panel (also referred to as an input board) for inputting an employee number of a specific user, a ticket issuing machine having a parking ticket issuing function for general users, and the like Is used.

The said delivery instruction | indication means 15 is provided in the delivery exit 5 vicinity, and inputs the vehicle data with which a user can specify the delivery vehicle.
As this input data, the same data as described in the location of the warehousing instruction means 14, that is, an identification number is used. Therefore, as the exit instruction means 15, specifically, a touch panel (input board) for inputting an employee number or a vehicle number of a specific user, a parking ticket reader, or the like is used.

  As for the above-mentioned delivery reservation means 16, the same thing as the delivery instruction means 15 is used, but in addition to the touch panel for inputting data for specifying the delivery vehicle, the entry of the delivery time (the time itself, how many minutes after the current time, etc.) Means are also provided (of course, this input function may be provided on the touch panel). Further, when the reservation for delivery is accepted, a transmission means (speech or display) that informs the user of the acceptance from the control device 17 Using a screen or the like).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control device 17 includes each operation device provided in the parking facility, for example, an entry elevator 12, an exit elevator 13, a transport carriage 6 and a transfer device disposed on each parking floor 3. 10, a basic operation unit 21 for controlling a moving device 9 provided in each parking room row 8, a transfer device provided in the warehousing port 4 and the warehousing port 5 and the like to perform a basic warehousing operation From the warehousing control means 22 that receives the warehousing information such as user data, vehicle data, warehousing time (input time) from the warehousing instruction means 14 and instructs the basic operation part 21 to perform warehousing operation, and from the warehousing instruction means 15. Receiving data such as user data, vehicle data, delivery time (input time) and the like, a delivery control unit 23 that instructs the delivery operation to the basic operation unit 21, user data from the delivery reservation instruction means 16, vehicle data, A parking reservation control unit 24 for instructing the basic operation unit 21 to perform a moving operation for receiving a shipping reservation information such as a scheduled storage time and moving the outgoing vehicle to the front side parking room 11a which is a parking room / standby room, and the parking And a database unit 26 that records (accumulates) management information such as availability of the parking room row 8 in the facility.

  The database unit 26 includes a database 27 that records the various data described above (user, parking room data, parking information such as whether or not a parking room is available), a warehousing control unit 22, and a warehousing control unit 23. In response to a request from the delivery reservation control unit 24, each database is accessed to search for an empty parking room, a parking room 11 in which a delivery vehicle is stored, and the like, and update of data according to the parking state at the time of completion of entry / exit And a search processing unit 28 for performing

  The basic operation unit 21 has at least an warehousing function for moving (entering) the warehousing vehicle from the warehousing port 4 to the designated parking room 11 in accordance with an operation command from each of the control units 22 to 24, and the unloading vehicle to the evacuation port 5. A moving function for moving (shipping) to a parking space, a moving function for moving a parked vehicle in a certain parking room 11 to another parking room 11, and a moving function for replacing parked vehicles (hereinafter, this function is also referred to as a replacement function). Is provided. Of course, these moving functions include a function of running the warehousing elevator 12, the evacuating elevator 13, and the transport carriage 6, and a function of operating the respective transfer devices.

  In addition, as a drive source of the moving apparatus 9 provided in each parking chamber row | line | column 8, the drive source of the transfer apparatus 10 provided in the conveyance trolley | bogie 6 is utilized. For example, when driving the moving device 9 of each parking chamber row 8, the driving gear provided at the tip of the arm member provided on the transport carriage 6 side is replaced with the driven gear provided on the moving device 9 side. Then, the moving device 9, that is, the slat conveyor is driven through the driven gear by rotating the driving gear on the transfer device 10 side. Moreover, what can be driven independently is arrange | positioned as the vehicle transfer apparatus provided in the elevator apparatuses 12 and 13 and the entrance / exit 4 and 5 respectively.

Next, the database unit 26 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, in the database 27 provided in the database unit 26, a parking room table 31 for recording data on the parking state (usage state) of the parking room 11 and data on a specific user. A specific user table 32 for recording, a warehousing / exiting history table 33 for recording warehousing / exiting history data indicating the usage state of the specific user in time series, and the movement device 9 in each parking room column 8. A use state management table 34 is provided for recording data indicating whether or not use (use / non-use) in order to equalize use.

  In the parking room table 31, as shown in FIG. 5, parking room data (which is also a unique code) for specifying the parking room 11 and vehicle data for specifying the warehousing vehicle stored in the parking room 11 ( (Identification number), reservation data indicating whether or not there is a reservation for reservation (also a reservation flag), and a storage frequency level indicating the level of storage frequency for the storage vehicle.

  This entry / exit frequency level is represented, for example, by a three-stage level for a specific user. For a specific user, the highest level 3 is set when the entry / exit is performed several times a day. The case where the entry / exit is performed about once a day is set to the intermediate level 2, the case where the entry / exit is performed about once every two to three days is set to the lowest level 1, and the use time is short for general users. Therefore, a level higher than the average level, for example, level 3 is set.

  The parking room data includes, for example, a parking floor (also referred to as a hierarchy or a floor) 3 in which the parking room 11 is located, a parking room row 8 on the parking floor 3, and a position in the parking row 8, that is, the front side parking room 11a. , Indicating whether it is stored in the central parking room 11b or the backside parking room 11c, the level of the parking floor 3 is a one-digit number α (for example, “1” if it is the first basement, or 2 “2”), the parking room row 8 is represented by a two-digit number nn of 0 to 9, and the position of the parking room 11 in the parking room row 8 is represented by letters a, b, and c. For example, when the parking room 11 is the first basement floor, the parking room row 8 is the first and is the front side parking room 11a near the traveling passage 7, it is represented by “101a”. For reference, FIG. 9 shows an example of parking room data that is a unique code of each parking room 11 in the parking floor 3 on the first basement floor.

  As the reservation data, for example, “0” is recorded when an exit reservation is not made, and “1” is recorded when an exit reservation is made. Of course, numerical values and symbols other than these can be used. Note that in this parking facility, the outgoing reservation vehicle for which the outgoing reservation has been made is moved to the parking room / standby room at the front side of each parking room row 8, so The reservation data field only needs to be prepared for the parking room, that is, only for the parking room 11a with the letter “a” at the final position of the parking room data. In addition, when both the front side parking room 11a and the central parking room 11b are used as a parking room / standby room, the parking room 11b with the letter “b” is also prepared.

  As for the above-mentioned loading / unloading frequency level, the loading / unloading frequency level registered in the specific user table is used (copied) for a specific user, but for a general user who is a customer, the loading / unloading frequency level is short. As expected, a high frequency level (eg, level 3) is set.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the specific user table 32 is used for authenticating (confirming) input data from the warehousing instruction means 14, the warehousing instruction means 15 and the warehousing reservation means 16, for example, an employee number (User data), vehicle data relating to the specific user, and a loading / unloading frequency level for the vehicle data. About this loading / unloading frequency level, it calculates separately based on the history recorded in the loading / unloading history table 33 mentioned later, or the arbitrarily determined loading / unloading frequency level is recorded. This entry / exit frequency level is provided for the purpose of efficiently carrying out the entry operation in consideration of the use frequency of a specific user when entering the store.

As shown in FIG. 7, the entry / exit history table 33 records time and date, vehicle data, and entry / exit times in time series.
The function of the entry / exit history table 33 is used for grasping the use state in the parking facility and for updating the entry / exit frequency level of the specific user.

  Therefore, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 7, the period from warehousing to unloading (continuous parking time), the period from unloading the previous time to warehousing (time not parked) at the time of unloading and You may calculate and register each at the time of goods receipt. Thereby, the calculation separately performed at the time of setting the frequency level becomes easier than the case of calculating using the date / time data, the vehicle data, and the data for use of the warehouse.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the use state management table 34 is used for extending the life of the equipment by using the parking room row 8 equally. Usage data (also referred to as a usage flag) is recorded. Instead of filling one parking room row and then entering the next parking room row, if there is a parking lot row that is not full, even if there are multiple empty parking rooms, The use flag is used to realize the equal use procedure of entering the next parking room row.

  As the parking room row data, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 8, the first parking room row (101) on the first basement floor corresponding to the first layer, the second parking room row (102), .., the same as the last parking room row, arranged in the direction in which the parking room row number increases in the same hierarchy, and then the same as the first parking room row (201) on the second basement floor corresponding to the second layer They are arranged in order up to the last parking row, and so on up to the last level. In addition, the arrangement of the parking room rows on the table 34 is a priority order.

  And for the above-mentioned parking room row data, when a parking room row having an empty parking room is used once (one storage) where the use flag is “0”, In order, “1” is recorded as data that is used, and “0” is recorded as unused data when it is not used.

  Therefore, at the start of use, every time a vehicle is received, one vehicle is stored in each parking room row in the order of the parking room row 8 on the first basement floor, and “1” is entered in the column of usage data. If it is recorded and used to the lowest floor, it will return to the first basement. Then, when returning to the first basement floor, the usage data of the parking room row 8 except for the parking room row 8 with no empty parking room is reset to “0”, and the parking room row 8 is used again in order. It will be done. Of course, when the first basement is completed and the second basement is moved, similarly, the use data is reset to “0” except for the parking room row 8 where there is no empty parking room.

Next, the database search processing unit 28 will be described.
The database search processing unit 28 performs a search using various data (so-called field names) recorded in the database 27 as keys, and sends necessary data from the searched (hit) data to the control units 22 to 24. In addition to outputting (passing), data recording / updating and the like are performed based on instructions from the control units 22 to 24.

  For example, in response to the warehousing instruction from the warehousing control unit 22, the vacant parking room 11 is searched and the respective parking room data of the parking room row having the searched vacant parking room is output to the warehousing control unit 22. Become.

  In addition, when it is determined by the warehousing control unit 22 that the parked vehicle is stored in the parking room row 8 where the vehicle is already stored, it is necessary to replace the parked vehicle previously stored, The instruction is output from the warehousing control unit 22 to the search processing unit 28, and the search processing unit 28 searches for an empty parking room 11 for temporarily moving the parked vehicle and outputs it to the warehousing control unit 22. The

  Further, the search processing unit 28 searches the parking reservation data control unit 24 for the parking room data in which the outgoing vehicle requested to be released is parked, and before the transporting vehicle 6 in the parking room row 8. When other warehousing vehicles are stored in the side parking room 11a and the central parking room 11b, the parking room 11 used temporarily for replacement (movement) is searched from the parking room table 31, and the destination The parking room data is also output.

Next, a warehousing control method, a warehousing control method, and a warehousing control method when making a warehousing reservation will be described.
(1) Vehicle warehousing control method First, in the case of a specific user, in the warehousing instruction means 14 provided at the warehousing port 4, the employee number or the vehicle number (identification number) as vehicle data is input. In the case of a general user, data (identification information) that can be specified such as a vehicle number is input, and a parking ticket for delivery is issued (identification information is recorded).

  In the case of a specific user, the identification information is either vehicle data registered in the specific user table 32 or user data. Moreover, if the vehicle recognition technology which recognizes a vehicle number by image | photographing and image-processing the number plate of the vehicle which is going to enter is employ | adopted, the effort of an input can be saved. In this case, the vehicle data is of course the vehicle number.

  Then, the identification number is sent from the warehousing instruction means 14 to the warehousing control unit 22, and the warehousing control unit 22 outputs the identification number and a command for searching for the empty parking room 11 to the search processing unit 28.

  The search processing unit 28 first accesses the specific user table 32 to recognize whether or not the user is a specific user (it can be determined whether or not the data exists), and then retrieves the loading / unloading frequency level based on the vehicle data. At the same time, for example, a plurality (or one) of usable parking room column numbers that can be used are retrieved from the use state management table 34 and retrieved, and these are output to the warehousing control unit 22.

  In the warehousing control unit 22, the candidate parking room row number is output to the search processing unit 28, the parking room table 31 is accessed, and the parking state of the parking room 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) related to the parking room row number ( Read).

  In this case, first, it is checked whether or not the front side parking room 11a is vacant in the order of the parking room column numbers (whether all the rooms are vacant). When it is determined and all the front side parking rooms 11a on the parking floor are full, it is checked whether or not the central parking room 11b is vacant.

  When the central parking room 11b is vacant (when parked only in the front side parking room 11a), the entering vehicle and the parking vehicle stored in the front side parking room 11a in the parking room row 8 enter. When the delivery frequency level is compared and the warehousing vehicle is higher (that is, the parking vehicle is lower), the warehousing vehicle is made to enter the front side parking room 11a of the parking room row 8. This operation is performed by operating the transfer device 10 of the transport carriage 6 to store (push in) the incoming vehicle in the front parking room 11a of the parking room row 8, and the parked vehicle automatically becomes the front parking room. It will be moved from 11a to the central parking room 11b. On the contrary, when the warehousing vehicle is lower, the parking vehicle in the parking room row 8 that is first found is temporarily moved to another parking room row 8 and the warehousing vehicle is moved to the front side of the parking room row 8. After entering the parking room 11a, a command is output to return the parked vehicle moved to the other parking room row 8 to the original front side parking room 11a. That is, replacement work (the incoming vehicle moves to the central parking room 11b) is performed. As for this replacement work, parking room data temporarily used for replacement is output to the basic operation unit 21 where the work is performed.

  If you want to avoid replacement work as much as possible and need replacement work for all the acquired candidate parking room queues, acquire the parking room queues with lower priority in the same parking floor and replace them. You may make it look for the parking room row | line | column which does not require an operation | work. If there is no parking room line that does not require replacement work on the same floor, the first candidate parking room line is loaded by replacement work.

  At this time, if only the back side parking room 11c is vacant in the candidate parking room row, work can be performed by preferentially entering a candidate that needs only one parked vehicle to be replaced due to the entering / exiting frequency level. Efficiency can be improved. In this case, as described above, after the parked vehicle in the front side parking chamber 11a is once moved to the other parking chamber row 8, the warehousing vehicle is moved to the central parking chamber 11b. Therefore, the parked vehicle parked in the central parking room 11b is moved to the back side parking room 11c. In addition, judging the entering / exiting frequency level of the entering vehicle and the parked vehicle in the central parking room 11b, if the parked vehicle in the central parking room 11b is higher, let the entering vehicle enter the backside parking room 11c. become.

  In this way, when an empty parking room 11 is found, an instruction to move the warehousing vehicle into the vacant parking room 11, and when replacing the parked vehicle, an instruction to temporarily move the warehousing control unit 22 Is output to the basic operation unit 21.

  When the warehousing operation is completed, the warehousing control unit 22 outputs the fact to the search processing unit 28, and the search processing unit 28 inputs the vehicle data and the user's warehousing / frequencying level in the column of the vehicle data in the parking room table 31. Is also recorded in the entry / exit history table 33, and the entry date and time, vehicle data, entry / exit as the entry / exit type, and exit period (elapsed time from the previous exit date / time) are recorded. The usage data of the room column 8 is changed to “1”.

In addition, it can be detected with the vehicle detection sensor arrange | positioned in each parking room 11, for example that the vehicle was received.
(2) Vehicle exit control method First, in the case of a specific user, in the exit instruction means 15 provided at the exit 5, the user's own identification number, which is vehicle data, is input. The parking ticket is inserted into the insertion portion (if the identification number can be automatically read, the identification number is still printed if it is manually input).

  Then, an identification number is sent from the delivery instruction means 15 to the delivery control unit 23, and the delivery control unit 23 searches the search processing unit 28 for the parking room 11 in which the identification number and the corresponding parked vehicle are stored. Command to output.

  In the case where the specific user identification information does not match the vehicle data, the search processing unit 28 first accesses the user data in the specific user table 32 and acquires the vehicle data if the user is a specific user. Otherwise, it is replaced with the identification number. Otherwise, the vehicle data in the parking room table 31 is searched with the identification number to obtain the parking room (parking data) 11 that is stored and output to the delivery control unit 23 and parked. If it is not the front side parking room 11a of the room row 8, the destination parking room for temporarily moving other parked vehicles that become an obstacle to leaving the vehicle is located near the parking room row that has an empty parking room. Select and output together.

  When the position in the parking room row 8 of the parking room 11 hit in the search is in the near side in the unloading control unit 23, a command to leave is output to the basic operation unit 21 as it is, and the center or the back side If this is the case, a command for temporarily moving another parked vehicle on the side of the traveling passage 7 to another parking room row 8 is output to the basic operation unit 21. Of course, when the parked vehicle is temporarily moved, an instruction to return the parked vehicle to the original parking room 11 is output.

  When the delivery operation is completed, the delivery control unit 23 outputs a message to that effect to the search processing unit 28, and the search processing unit 28 updates the other fields related to the changed parking room data in the parking room table 31. . The update is performed when the parking room that becomes an empty room or the parking room of the parked vehicle deviates due to the departure or return of the temporarily moving vehicle, the empty parking room is cleared of data, and the parking room is changed, Move the vehicle data and the loading / unloading frequency level from the original column. Moreover, when the leaving vehicle is a vehicle in the front side parking room 11a, the reservation data is naturally cleared.

In addition, the date and time, vehicle data, delivery as a receipt / exit type, and receipt period (elapsed time from entry to delivery) are recorded in the entry / exit history database.
(3) Vehicle exit control method by reservation First, the user's own identification number, which is the vehicle data of the user, is input by the exit reservation instruction means 16 provided at a predetermined location. In the case of a general user, a parking ticket may be temporarily inserted or identification information may be input (according to the above-described identification information recording form). Here, a case where a general user makes a leaving reservation will be described.

  In other words, the identification number (parking ticket number) is output from the departure reservation instruction means 16 to the departure reservation control unit 24, and the identification number and the corresponding parked vehicle are parked from the departure reservation control unit 24 to the search processing unit 28. And a command to search for the parking room 11 being used.

The search processing unit 28 searches the vehicle data in the parking room table 31, acquires the vehicle data of the parking room 11 used by the general user, and outputs the vehicle data to the leaving reservation control unit 24.
When the position of the parking room 11 in the parking room row 8 is on the near side, the leaving reservation control unit 24 keeps it as it is because it is parked in the parking room / standby room. In this case, “1” indicating that the delivery reservation is made is recorded in the reservation data of the parking room table 31.

  On the other hand, when the said leaving vehicle is stored in the central parking room 11b or the back side parking room 11c, the parked vehicle by the side of the driving | running | working passage 7 of the said leaving vehicle is temporarily stored in the other parking room row | line | column 8. In order to move, the search processing unit 28 outputs an instruction to search for another parking room row 8 in which the reservation data is “0” and there is an empty parking room 11.

  And when the empty parking room 11 is searched (a nearby parking room row is searched preferentially), this parking room data is output to the delivery reservation control unit 24, and the basic operation unit is output from the delivery reservation control unit 24. 21 outputs an instruction to temporarily move the parked vehicle and the leaving vehicle in the near side parking room 11a to another parking room row, and an instruction to return from the temporarily moved parking room to the original parking room row Is done.

  When the delivery reservation vehicle is moved to the front side parking room 11a which is a parking room / standby room by this delivery reservation work, the delivery reservation control unit indicates that the delivery reservation work is completed by a detection signal from a vehicle detection sensor or the like. 24, the parking room table 31 is updated in the parking room row that is output to the search processing unit 28 and changed by the search processing unit 28. Of course, “1” is recorded in the reservation data of the front parking room 11a to which the delivery reservation vehicle is moved. In addition, although the parked vehicle moved temporarily may be left as it is, in this case, the destination parking room row is selected in consideration of the loading / unloading frequency level. Only when there is such a parking room row, it may not be returned to the original parking room.

Then, after that, when a general user who has made a reservation for delivery is to leave, it is only necessary to go to the exit 5 and exit using a parking ticket.
In addition, although it can be made to take out in the same procedure also about a specific user, according to identification information, whether to search either vehicle data in the specific user table 32 or user data first, This is as described in the vehicle exit control method described above.

Here, a delivery procedure when a delivery reservation is made, that is, a delivery control method will be described in a step format.
In this issue control method, an issue reservation step of making an issue reservation by means of an issue reservation instruction means,
A parking room recognition step for recognizing the parking room of the outgoing vehicle that has been reserved for outgoing in this outgoing reservation step;
Parking vehicle recognition step for recognizing whether another parking vehicle is stored in the parking room / standby room of the parking room row when the parking room recognized in the parking room recognition step is not a parking room / waiting room When,
When another parked vehicle is recognized in this parked vehicle recognition step, a parked vehicle moving step of searching for another available parking room and moving the other parked vehicle to the searched available parking room;
Unloading vehicle moving step for moving the unloading vehicle to the parking room / standby room that is emptied in the parked vehicle moving step;
When there is an exit instruction from the exit instruction means for the exit vehicle moved to the parking room / standby room in this exit vehicle moving step, the exit reservation vehicle in the parking room / standby room is moved to the exit exit. A delivery step to be performed.

  In this way, when making a reservation for delivery, since the delivery reservation vehicle related to the delivery is moved to the front side parking room of each row of parking rooms arranged on the parking floor, that is, a standby room and a parking room, for example, Compared to the case where a standby-dedicated space is provided, the parking space can be used more effectively.

  In addition, when entering a vehicle, the storage frequency level of the storage vehicle and the parked parking vehicle are compared, and the vehicle with the higher storage frequency level is stored in the parking / standby room. As a result, it is possible to reduce the work required for unloading the vehicle, and to reduce the running cost of the equipment.

  By the way, in the said Embodiment 1, when warehousing a vehicle, when the warehousing frequency level of the said warehousing vehicle is lower than that of a parked vehicle, it is stored in the parking room at the back of the said parked vehicle. Therefore, after moving the parked vehicle temporarily to another empty parking room, it was explained that the replacement work to return to the original parking room was performed, but for example, not temporarily, moved to another empty parking room It can be left as it is (it is a moving work).

Further, in the first embodiment, the description has been given in the form in which one or two replacement work occurs when the vehicle is stored. However, when the replacement work occurs, the replacement work is performed from the next priority parking floor. You may make it look for an unnecessary parking room row | line | column.
[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, the mechanical parking facility according to the second embodiment of the present invention and a control method for vehicle entry / exit in the parking facility will be described.

  The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in the configuration of the moving device constituting the parking room row and the control method therefor, and the basic configuration is the same as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the following description will be made paying attention to the difference.

  That is, in the first embodiment, one moving device 9 is arranged in one parking room row 8, but in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9a, 9b). Specifically, two aisle side moving devices (for example, slat conveyors are used) 9a as two parking chambers on the side of the traveling passage (conveyance passage) 7 side, that is, the front side parking chamber 11a and the central parking chamber 11b. Is arranged, and one back side moving device (for example, a slat conveyor is used) 9b is arranged as the back side parking chamber 11c.

  As described in the first embodiment, the passage-side moving device 9a is driven by the transfer device 10 provided in the transport carriage 6, and the back-side moving device 9b has a dedicated function. Driving means are provided.

  Therefore, when the vehicle is moved to the back side parking chamber 11c and, conversely, from the back side parking chamber 11c to the passage side, the driving direction (transfer direction) by the transfer device 10 provided in the transport carriage 6 and the back side The basic operation unit 21 controls the moving direction of the moving device 9b (moving direction) and the driving speed to be the same. In addition, when only the near side parking room 11a and the central parking room 11b arranged in the passage side moving device 9a are used, the rear side moving device 9b is driven for entering, leaving, leaving reservation, and replacement work accompanying them. Can be done without.

As described above, when a plurality of moving devices 9a and 9b are arranged in one parking room row 8, only the drive control due to the difference in the configuration in the basic operation unit 21 is changed, and the warehousing control method and the warehousing according to the present invention are changed. The main contents of the control method and the outgoing reservation control method are not different from those of the first embodiment.
[Embodiment 3]
Hereinafter, a mechanical parking facility according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention and a control method for vehicle entry / exit in the parking facility will be described.

  In the third embodiment, as shown in the second embodiment, it is the same in that the passage-side moving device and the back-side moving device are arranged in one parking room row, but the vehicle is stored. It differs in that the warehousing control method was changed.

  Briefly, in the first and second embodiments, when the front parking room 11a is used as the storage position of the first storage vehicle when all the parking rooms in the parking room row are vacant rooms, the back side parking room Since the other points are the same as those described in the above-described embodiments, the following description focuses on the differences.

  That is, when all the parking rooms 11a, 11b, and 11c in the parking room row 8 of the warehousing destination candidates acquired from the search processing unit 28 are vacant rooms, the back side parking room 11c is used as a parking room to be admitted by the warehousing control unit 22. Is output to the basic operation unit 21.

  And when parking the second vehicle in this parking room row 8, that is, there is a parked vehicle in the back side parking room 11c, and in the warehousing control method in the case where a new vehicle is put in the parking room row 8, Regarding the storage situation of the vehicles after a total of two vehicles are parked in the parking room row 8, a vehicle with a low entry / exit frequency level is stored in the back side parking room row 11c, and an entry / exit frequency level in the front side parking room row 11a. A vehicle with a high is stored. When the replacement work is unnecessary, an instruction is output to the basic control unit 21 so that the incoming vehicle enters the front side parking room 11a, and when the replacement work is involved, the parking vehicle in the back side parking room 11c is temporarily moved. After requesting the search processing unit 28 to search for a parking room row number for moving to another parking room row 8 in an automatic manner, acquiring the parking room row 8 and temporarily moving the parked vehicle to the parking room row, An instruction is output to the basic control unit 21 so that the warehousing vehicle enters the backside parking chamber 11c and the parked vehicle temporarily moved is returned to the near side parking chamber 11a.

  As for the storage situation when three cars are parked in one parking room row 8, as in the first and second embodiments described above, the entry / exit frequency level is small from the front side parking room 11a to the back side parking room 11c. It becomes the state which gave continuity to the warehouse frequency level which becomes. For the third entry into this parking room row 8, the parking room in which the incoming vehicle is to be received is determined based on the parking situation of all the parking rooms 11 and the difference in the entry / exit level, and temporarily moved by replacement work. The search processing unit 28 is requested to acquire the parking room row number of the temporary movement destination for the number of vehicles, and information on the parking room of the warehousing vehicle and which parking vehicle is temporarily moved to which parking room row is obtained. A replacement instruction is given to the basic control unit 21. When the replacement work is unnecessary, an instruction is output to the basic control unit 21 so as to enter the front parking room 11a.

  As described above, the configuration of the moving device 9 is the same as that in the second embodiment, but the warehousing control method is different. Control of moving (including replacement work) to the front side parking room 11a which is a room is maintained.

In addition, when making a reservation for leaving, when replacing the parked vehicle in the central parking chamber 11b and the parked vehicle in the front parking chamber 11a, it becomes a replacement operation between the parked vehicles on the aisle side moving device 9a. It is not necessary to drive the back side moving device 9b.
[Embodiment 4]
Hereinafter, a mechanical parking facility according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention and a control method for vehicle entry / exit in the parking facility will be described.

In the fourth embodiment, the replacement work in the warehousing control method described in the third embodiment is changed.
That is, the continuity of the entry / exit level has been changed, and for the two parked vehicles parked in the passage side moving device 9a, the front side parking room is the same as in the first to third embodiments. Although it is stored so that the loading / unloading frequency level of 11a becomes high, it is different between the back side moving device 9b and the passage-side moving device 9a in that no arrangement such as increasing the loading / unloading frequency level is made. This difference is that with respect to a vehicle that is initially stored in the back side parking chamber 11c when all of the parking room rows 8 are vacant, the vehicle that is subsequently stored until there is a leaving instruction or a leaving reservation instruction. In other words, it was not subject to replacement work. Since the other points are the same as those described in the above-described embodiments, only the differences will be described below.

  That is, in the warehousing control method, the first warehousing vehicle (first vehicle) to the parking room row 8 is stored in the backside parking bay 11c, but when the second vehicle is warehousing, In the case of storing in the front side parking room 11a as it is without carrying out the replacement work based on the comparison of the entering / exiting frequency level and entering the third vehicle, the storage destination parking room column 8 acquired from the search processing unit 28 If only the loading / unloading frequency level of the parked vehicle and the warehousing vehicle parked in the near side parking chamber 11a are compared, and replacement work is required, the search processing unit 28 will enter another parking room column number of the temporary movement destination. The basic operation unit 21 is instructed with the parking room row number of the parked vehicle, and the central parking room 11b is designated as the storage destination of the parking vehicle, and replacement work is instructed.

  Thus, compared with the said Embodiment 3, although the structure of the moving apparatus 9 and the warehousing control method are the same, it becomes a form that it is different about replacement work, but, similarly to other embodiments, warehousing Control that the reserved vehicle is moved (including replacement work) to the front side parking room 11a which is a parking room / standby room is maintained.

  In addition, when making a reservation for leaving, when replacing the parked vehicle in the central parking chamber 11b and the parked vehicle in the front parking chamber 11a, it becomes a replacement operation between the parked vehicles on the aisle side moving device 9a. The rear side moving device 9b is the same as the third embodiment in that it does not need to be driven.

By the way, in each said embodiment, although the case where parking facilities were provided in shopping facilities was demonstrated, what was provided as incidental facilities, such as an apartment, may be sufficient.
In this case, the user is a resident of the apartment and is all a specific user.
Therefore, as the above-mentioned delivery reservation means, an interphone or the like attached to his / her room is used, and this intercom is provided with a delivery reservation function.
