By the way, in the above-mentioned three-dimensional parking device, another use is performed while the user who calls the movable pallet enters the device away from the operation panel and gets on and off the vehicle, puts in and takes out luggage, and the like. It is necessary to prevent the opening / closing gate from being closed by a person operating the operation panel. In particular, for vehicles that include an electric motor as a power source, in a three-dimensional parking device equipped with a charging facility, the user operates the charging facility and connects / disconnects the cable while the user is inside the device. However, it takes a long time to leave the operation panel, and the above request becomes even greater.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a third party from closing the opening / closing gate.

(Aspect of the invention)
The following aspects of the invention exemplify the configurations of the present invention and will be described separately in order to facilitate understanding of the various configurations of the present invention. Each term does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, while taking into consideration the best mode for carrying out the invention, the technical elements of the present invention may also be those in which some of the components of each section are replaced, deleted, or further other components are added. It can be included in the range.

(1) A three-dimensional parking device including a plurality of movable pallets to which different pallet identification codes are assigned, an opening / closing gate, and an operation panel for opening / closing the opening / closing gate and calling the movable pallet. In the control method of, a password is preset in association with each of the pallet identification codes, the pallet identification code is input in the operation of calling the movable pallet, and the pallet identification code is associated with the input pallet identification code. was until personal identification code is inputted, the control how the multilevel parking apparatus to prevent the closing operation of at least the opening and closing gate.

The control method of the three-dimensional parking device described in this section includes a plurality of movable pallets, an opening / closing gate, and an operation panel, and different pallet identification codes are assigned to the plurality of movable pallets via the operation panel. The control target is a three-dimensional parking device to which an opening / closing operation of an opening / closing gate and a calling operation of a movable pallet are input. Specifically, a password is set in advance in association with each of the pallet identification codes assigned to the plurality of movable pallets. The password code is composed of, for example, enumerated numbers, and may include alphabets, symbols, and the like depending on the situation. Each of the set passwords can be set in advance only for the user who has the right to use the movable pallet to which the pallet identification code associated with the password is attached, or the manager of the three-dimensional parking device. Notice.

Further, when receiving an operation of calling the movable pallet from the user via the operation panel, the pallet identification code assigned to the movable pallet desired by the user (having the right to use) is input. Then, at least the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is suppressed until the password code associated with the input palette identification code is input. That is, at least at the stage before the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is executed, the input of the password code set in association with the input palette identification code is waited for without executing the subsequent operations. As a result, the opening / closing gate is not closed until the password associated with the pallet identification code of the movable pallet, which can be known only to the user or administrator who has performed the operation of calling the movable pallet, is input. For this reason, while the user is getting on and off the vehicle, loading and unloading luggage, charging the vehicle battery, etc. in the three-dimensional parking device, the opening / closing gate is opened by a third party who does not know the password. The closing operation is prevented.

(2) In the above item (1), the operation of moving the movable pallet corresponding to the input pallet identification code to a position where the vehicle can be entered and exited and opening the opening / closing gate is the operation of the password code. It is executed without input, and after opening the opening / closing gate, immediately before or immediately after receiving the closing operation of the opening / closing gate, the password is input, and the input password and the input are input. A control method for a three-dimensional parking device (claim 1 ), which determines whether or not there is an association with a pallet identification code and executes the closing operation of the opening / closing gate only when there is an association.

The control method of the three-dimensional parking device described in this section first receives a calling operation including input of a pallet identification code, and moves the movable pallet corresponding to the input pallet identification code to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. Performs a series of operations from moving to opening the open / close gate. That is, the user enters the three-dimensional parking device and is in a state where he / she can perform work such as entering / exiting the vehicle. After that, immediately before or immediately after receiving the closing operation of the opening / closing gate from the user who has completed the work, the user also receives the input of the password, and the input password and the input when the movable pallet is called. It is determined whether or not there is an association with the pallet identification code. At this time, the determination is made based on the information of the association between the password code and the palette identification code, which can be grasped by setting the password code in advance in association with each palette identification code.

Then, the closing operation of the open / close gate is executed only when it is confirmed that the input password code and the input palette identification code are associated with each other. As a matter of course, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is executed after receiving the closing operation of the opening / closing gate. Therefore, when the password is not input, if the input password is associated with a palette identification code different from the input palette identification code, the input password is any palette. If it is not associated with the identification code, the input of the correct password associated with the input palette identification code is waited for without executing the closing operation of the open / close gate. As a result, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate by a third party can be more reliably prevented.

Further, the control method of the three-dimensional parking device described in this section is an operation of moving the movable pallet corresponding to the pallet identification code input in the calling operation to a position where the vehicle can enter and leave the vehicle and opening the opening / closing gate. Is executed without inputting a password. For this reason, for example, when a person who does not know the password (such as the user's family) urgently leaves the vehicle from the movable pallet, although the power can be turned on for the three-dimensional parking device, or when it rains heavily, it goes underground. When raising the arranged movable pallets, their actions are not hindered. In this way, the operation from moving the movable pallet to opening the opening / closing gate does not require the input of a password and does not interfere with the calling of the movable pallet in an emergency, which improves convenience. Nevertheless, in addition to that, it prevents a third party from closing the opening / closing gate.

(3) A three-dimensional parking device including a plurality of movable pallets to which different pallet identification codes are assigned, an opening / closing gate, and an operation panel for opening / closing the opening / closing gate and calling the movable pallet. The control system includes an operation unit incorporated in the operation panel and a system control unit associated with each of the pallet identification codes and holding a preset password. The opening / closing gate is closed at least until the pallet identification code input in the call operation of the movable pallet is acquired and the password associated with the acquired pallet identification code is input via the operation unit. control system of the three-dimensional parking system to prevent the operation.

The control system for the three-dimensional parking device described in this section controls the three-dimensional parking device provided with a plurality of movable pallets, an opening / closing gate, and an operation panel, and the plurality of movable pallets have different pallets. An identification code is assigned, and an opening / closing operation of the opening / closing gate, a calling operation of the movable pallet, and the like are input to the operation panel. This control system includes an operation unit incorporated in the operation panel of the three-dimensional parking device, and a system control unit that holds a preset password associated with each of the pallet identification codes. That is, the system control unit has a plurality of pallet identification codes assigned to a plurality of movable pallets included in the multi-level parking device, a plurality of password codes having the same quantity as the pallet identification code, a plurality of pallet identification codes, and a plurality of passwords. It holds information about the association with the code. Here, the password code is composed of, for example, enumerated numbers, and may include alphabets, symbols, and the like depending on the situation.

Further, the system control unit acquires the pallet identification code input to the control panel of the three-dimensional parking device from the three-dimensional parking device in the operation of calling the movable pallet. Then, at least the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is suppressed until the secret code associated with the acquired palette identification code is input via the operation unit incorporated in the operation panel. That is, at least before the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is executed, the subsequent operation of the three-dimensional parking device is suppressed while waiting for the input of the password code associated with the acquired pallet identification code. This closes the open / close gate until the password associated with the called pallet identification code of the movable pallet, which is normally known only to the user who called the movable pallet, is entered. There is no such thing. For this reason, while the user is getting on and off the vehicle, loading and unloading luggage, charging the vehicle battery, etc. in the multi-level parking device, a third party who does not know the password is used to open and close the gate. Even if the closing operation is input, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is suppressed by the system control unit. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing gate from being closed by a third party.

(4) In the above item (3), in the system control unit, the movable pallet corresponding to the acquired pallet identification code is moved to a position where the vehicle can enter and leave the vehicle, and the opening / closing gate is opened. It does not affect the operation of the three-dimensional parking device, and after the opening / closing gate is opened, immediately before or immediately after the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is input, the password is input and the input is input. A control system for a three-dimensional parking device (claim 2 ) that determines whether or not a password code is associated with the acquired pallet identification code, and permits the closing operation of the opening / closing gate only when there is an association.

In the control system of the multi-level parking device described in this section, after the movable pallet corresponding to the pallet identification code input via the operation panel is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded, and the opening / closing gate is opened. In other words, the system control unit performs the following control after the user who has called the movable pallet is in a state where he / she can perform operations such as loading / unloading the vehicle in the multi-level parking device. That is, the system control unit receives the password input via the operation unit immediately before or immediately after the closing operation of the opening / closing gate is input to the control panel of the three-dimensional parking device, and the password input at this time and It is determined whether or not there is an association with the pallet identification code obtained from the three-dimensional parking device. More specifically, there is an association between the input password code and the acquired palette identification code while referring to the information on the association between the palette identification code and the password code held by the system control unit itself. Judge whether or not.

Then, the system control unit permits the three-dimensional parking device to close the opening / closing gate only when it is determined that there is an association between the two. For this reason, the password is not input to the operation unit itself, or the password is input but is associated with a palette identification code different from the acquired palette identification code. If it is determined that there is no association with the acquired pallet identification code because it is not associated with the pallet identification code of, the opening / closing gate cannot be closed and the acquired pallet identification code is disabled. Wait for the correct password associated with. As a result, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate by a third party who does not know the correct password can be prevented more reliably.

Further, in the control system of the three-dimensional parking device described in this section, the movable pallet corresponding to the pallet identification code input via the operation panel is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded, and the opening / closing gate is opened. It does not affect the operation of the three-dimensional parking device up to. For this reason, for example, when a person who does not know the password (such as the user's family) urgently leaves the vehicle from the movable pallet, although the power can be turned on for the three-dimensional parking device, or when it rains heavily, it goes underground. It does not hinder their actions when raising the arranged movable pallets. In this way, it is possible to prevent a third party from closing the opening / closing gate while flexibly responding to the calling of the movable pallet in an emergency.

Then, at least the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is suppressed until the secret code associated with the acquired palette identification code is input via the operation unit 16 incorporated in the operation panel 36. That is, at least before the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is executed, the subsequent operation of the three-dimensional parking device 30 is suppressed while waiting for the input of the password code associated with the acquired pallet identification code. As a result, the opening / closing gate 34 until the password associated with the pallet identification code of the called movable pallet 32, which is normally known only to the user who has performed the calling operation of the movable pallet 32, is input. Is never closed. Therefore, while the user is getting on and off the vehicle, taking in and out of luggage, charging the vehicle battery, etc. in the multi-level parking device 30, a third party who does not know the password is used to open and close the gate. Even if the closing operation of 34 is input, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 can be suppressed by the system control unit 18. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing gate 34 from being closed by a third party.

Further, in the control system 10 of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the movable pallet 32 corresponding to the pallet identification code input via the operation panel 36 is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. After the opening / closing gate 34 is opened, in other words, the system control unit 18 is in a state where the user who has called the movable pallet 32 can perform operations such as entering and leaving the vehicle in the multi-level parking device 30. Controls the following. That is, the system control unit 18 receives the input of the password code via the operation unit 16 immediately before or immediately after the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is input to the control panel 36 of the three-dimensional parking device 30, and is input at this time. It is determined whether or not the password code is associated with the pallet identification code obtained from the three-dimensional parking device 30. More specifically, the input password code and the acquired palette identification code are associated with each other while referring to the information on the association between the palette identification code and the password code held by the system control unit 18 itself. Determine if it exists.

Then, the system control unit 18 permits the three-dimensional parking device 30 to close the opening / closing gate 34 only when it is determined that there is an association between the two. For this reason, the password may not be input to the operation unit 16, or the password may be input but associated with a palette identification code different from the acquired palette identification code. If it is determined that there is no association with the acquired pallet identification code because it is not associated with any of the pallet identification codes, the closing operation of the open / close gate 34 is disabled and the acquired pallet is disabled. Waits for the correct password associated with the identification code. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 by a third party who does not know the correct password.

Further, in the control system 10 of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the movable pallet 32 corresponding to the pallet identification code input via the operation panel 36 is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded. It does not affect the operation of the three-dimensional parking device 30 until the opening / closing gate 34 is opened. Therefore, for example, when the power of the three-dimensional parking device 30 can be turned on, but a person who does not know the password (such as the user's family) urgently leaves the vehicle from the movable pallet 32, or during heavy rain. It does not hinder their actions when raising the movable pallets 32 arranged underground. In this way, it is possible to prevent a third party from closing the opening / closing gate 34 while flexibly responding to the calling of the movable pallet 32 in an emergency.
The control system 10 for the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention described above can be applied to an existing three-dimensional parking device by adding or replacing a part of the equipment.

Further, the three-dimensional parking device 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a device control unit 38 that controls the three-dimensional parking device 30, and the system control unit 18 of the control system 10 is incorporated in the device control unit 38. It is something that is. As a result, the device control unit 38 can collectively control both the control system 10 and the three-dimensional parking device 30, determine the association between the pallet identification code and the password code, and the like. Therefore, the space of the equipment can be saved, and the control and operation related to both the control system 10 and the three-dimensional parking device 30 can be smoothly performed.

On the other hand, the control method of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of movable pallets 32, an opening / closing gate 34, and an operation panel 36, and has different pallet identification codes for the plurality of movable pallets 32. Is given, and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34, the calling operation of the movable pallet 32, and the like are input via the operation panel 36, and the three-dimensional parking device 30 is controlled. Specifically, a password is set in advance in association with each of the pallet identification codes "01" to "09" assigned to the plurality of movable pallets 32a to 32i. Each of the set passwords is, for example, only for the user who has the right to use the movable pallet 32 to which the pallet identification code associated with the password is attached, and the manager of the three-dimensional parking device 30. , Notify in advance.

Further, as can be confirmed in FIG. 3, when the movable pallet 32 is called from the user via the operation panel 36, the movable pallet 32 is given to the movable pallet 32 desired by the user (having the right to use). Receives input of palette identification code. In the example of FIG. 3, the input of the pallet identification code “08” given to the movable pallet 32h is received. Then, at least the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is suppressed until the password code associated with the input pallet identification code "08" is input. That is, at least in the stage before the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is executed, the input of the password code set in association with the input pallet identification code "08" is awaited without executing the subsequent operations. As a result, the opening / closing gate 34 opens and closes until a secret code associated with the pallet identification code “08” of the movable pallet 32h, which can be known only to the user or the administrator who has performed the operation of calling the movable pallet 32h, is input. It will never be closed. Therefore, while the user is getting on and off the vehicle, taking in and out of luggage, charging the battery of the vehicle, etc. in the three-dimensional parking device 30, a third party who does not know the password can open and close the gate. It is possible to prevent the 34 from being closed.

Further, in the control method of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention, first, in response to a calling operation (S20, S30 in FIG. 3) including input of the pallet identification code, the input pallet identification code “08” is received. The movable pallet 32h corresponding to the above is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded (S40 and S50 in FIG. 3), and a series of operations up to opening the opening / closing gate 34 (S60 in FIG. 3) are executed. That is, the user enters the three-dimensional parking device 30 and is in a state where he / she can perform operations such as entering / exiting the vehicle (S80 in FIG. 3). After that, immediately before or immediately after receiving the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 from the user who has completed the work (150 in FIG. 3), the user also receives the input of the password code (S130 in FIG. 3), and the input password is input. It is determined whether or not the code is associated with the palette identification code “08” input when the movable pallet 32h is called (S140 in FIG. 3). At this time, the information of the association between the password code and the palette identification code held in the system control unit 18 in this embodiment, which can be grasped by setting the password code in advance in association with each palette identification code, is used. Based on this, the judgment is made.

Then, the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 is executed only when it is confirmed that the input password code and the input pallet identification code “08” are associated with each other (S160 in FIG. 3). Therefore, when the password is not input in S130 of FIG. 3, the password input in S130 is associated with a palette identification code different from the input palette identification code "08". If the password input in S130 is not associated with any of the pallet identification codes, the correct one associated with the input pallet identification code "08" is correct without executing the closing operation of the open / close gate 34. Wait for the password input. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the closing operation of the opening / closing gate 34 by a third party.

Further, in the control method of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the movable pallet 32 corresponding to the pallet identification code input in the calling operation is moved to a position where the vehicle can be loaded and unloaded, and the opening / closing gate 34 The operation up to opening (S20 to S60 in FIG. 3) is executed without inputting a password. Therefore, for example, although the power-on operation for the three-dimensional parking device 30 (S10 in FIG. 3) can be performed, a person (such as the user's family) who does not know the password can urgently leave the vehicle from the movable pallet 32. These actions are not hindered when the movable pallet 32 is raised or when the movable pallet 32 arranged underground is raised during heavy rain. In this way, the operation of moving the movable pallet 32 to opening the opening / closing gate 34 does not require input of a password and does not hinder the calling of the movable pallet 32 in an emergency, which is convenient. In spite of the improvement, in addition, it is possible to prevent a third party from closing the opening / closing gate 34.

Here, the control system 10 of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention and the control method using them are limited to the application to the three-dimensional parking device 30 having the structure shown in FIG. is not. That is, the three-dimensional parking device 30 may be configured to include more (or less) movable pallets 32 in the height direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) and the parallel direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 2). A movable pallet 32 may be provided not only on the ground but also underground. Further, the movable pallets 32 may not move in the parallel direction, but may move only in the height direction in conjunction with each row in the height direction. Further, a configuration may be provided in which a plurality of rows of movable pallets 32 are provided not only in the height direction and the parallel direction but also in the front-rear direction (from the front right to the back left in FIG. 2). In any of the above configurations, each of the plurality of movable pallets 32 is given a pallet identification code different from each other.

The flow chart shown in FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of steps for explaining the control method of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the processing flow to which the control method of the three-dimensional parking device according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied is not limited to the processing flow shown in FIG. 3, and for example, the three-dimensional parking device 30 to which the control method is applied.
