Description

The present invention relates to a multi-stage multi-row parking facility having a warehousing / delivery floor in which pallets are traversed, and a warehousing control method thereof.

Conventionally, a multi-stage, multi-row parking facility for raising and lowering and traversing pallets has been installed according to the installation space. For example, in the case of a multi-tiered multi-row parking facility with two levels above ground and one level below ground, some parking facilities have pallets on the ground floor that can be traversed. The pallet is raised and lowered between the ground and the second floor above ground. As a result, the rampant pallets on the ground floor and the raising and lowering of the pallets on the ground floor and the first basement floor and the ground floor and the second floor above the ground can be combined, and the pallets can be loaded and unloaded on the ground floor.

In such a multi-stage multi-row parking facility, in recent years, there is one that stores vehicles having different vehicle heights. For example, some floors (for example, the first basement floor) are for low-vehicle high-vehicles, and some floors can store high-vehicles on the ground floor and the second floor above ground. In this case, in order to prevent the high-vehicle height vehicle from being erroneously stored in the low-vehicle height vehicle pallet, the fixed position of the traverse pallet is determined in advance so that the users of the traverse pallet on the ground floor can enter and leave the pallet at the same position. If the traversing pallet is not in a fixed position at the time of calling, there is a method to prevent erroneous warehousing by moving it to a fixed position and then warehousing / unloading (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this parking facility, when the pallet number input at the time of loading / unloading is a traverse pallet and the pallet is not in a fixed position, a return operation is performed, and at least the pallet is moved to a fixed position.

Further, as another prior art, there is also one in which the pallet is always moved to a fixed position to prevent erroneous warehousing by performing a return operation after the warehousing / delivery is completed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-257018 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-97075

However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when the traversing pallet is not in a fixed position at the time of calling, a lot of arrangement movements for moving the calling pallet to a fixed position occur. For this reason, the waiting time for calling often increases by the amount of movement of placement. In addition, a large amount of energy is consumed due to the mechanical operation for moving the arrangement. Moreover, it emits a lot of mechanical noise.

Further, in Patent Document 2, in order to always determine the fixed position of the traversing pallet as a "steady state" by the returning operation after the completion of warehousing and delivery, a mechanical operation for forcibly returning all the traversing pallets to the fixed position after warehousing and unloading. Is done. Therefore, energy consumption for machine operation is generated. Moreover, it emits a lot of mechanical noise.

As described above, in these prior arts, the waiting time for calling is long due to the return operation, and energy consumption and noise are increased due to the increase in mechanical operation. Noise can be a nuisance to the neighborhood if there are many nighttime arrivals and departures.

Further, in the case of the above-mentioned patent document 1, there may be a large difference in the waiting time for calling between the left end position and the right end position, and the user may feel unfair.

Therefore, the present inventor pays attention to the fact that erroneous warehousing can be prevented and the probability that the traversing pallet is moved to a fixed position is reduced, and the waiting time for calling can be shortened and energy can be saved. Invented a method for controlling entry and exit of multi-stage, multi-row parking facilities.

The warehousing / delivery control method for a multi-stage multi-row parking facility according to the present invention includes a multi-stage storage space of at least three rows, the multi-stage predetermined stage is a boarding floor, and the pallet on the boarding floor is one from the number of rows. It is a method of controlling the entry and exit of a multi-stage multi-row parking facility in which the number of vehicles is reduced so that the pallets on the boarding floor can be traversed and the pallets on other steps can be raised and lowered in the same row. Whether the call pallet is placed in the fixed position by the call operation of entering and leaving the pallet on the boarding floor with the possible fixed position of the pallet as an empty space at or next to the center of the number of rows. If it is determined whether or not the call pallet is placed in the fixed position, the call pallet is placed in the fixed position, and when the placement and movement of the call pallet to the fixed position is completed, the boarding floor is reached. Allows entry and exit in the pallet.

According to this configuration, in a multi-stage multi-row parking facility having at least three rows of storage space, if the pallet on the entry floor is not in a fixed position at the time of entry / exit, the center of the number of rows or next to it is an empty space. Since it is possible to move in and out after the movement to a fixed position is performed, there is a low probability that a placement move that will always allow entry and exit in a fixed row will occur, reducing waiting time and machine operation. By reducing the number, it is possible to reduce the energy of the arrangement movement and the noise. Moreover, in the multi-tiered multi-row parking facility, users of pallets traversing on the boarding floor can enter and leave the same row without causing a large time difference in the waiting time for calling even if the rows for entering and leaving are different. ..

Further, the storage space is provided in an odd-numbered row, and the fixed position may be determined so that the central portion of the odd-numbered row becomes the empty space.

With this configuration, the central portion of the plurality of rows becomes an empty space, so that the machine operation, time, and the like for loading and unloading in the rows in the left-right direction from the empty space can be set to the same conditions.

Further, the movement of the nominal pallet to the fixed position may be limited to the minimum number of pallets necessary for arranging the nominal pallet in the fixed position.

With this configuration, the energy for arranging and moving the pallets can be reduced, and the generated noise can be reduced.

Further, in order to move the arrangement of the nominal pallet to the fixed position, all the pallets on the boarding floor may be arranged at the fixed position.

With this configuration, all the pallets on the boarding floor are placed in fixed positions, so it is possible to reduce the probability that the placement movement will occur at the time of the next warehousing on the boarding floor. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the waiting time at the time of warehousing and delivery.

Further, a fence is provided in front of the pallet on the boarding floor, and when the nominal pallet is not arranged in the fixed position, the fence is allowed to be opened when the arrangement and movement of the nominal pallet to the fixed position is completed. You may do it.

With this configuration, if the call pallet is not placed in a fixed position, the fence can be opened when the fixed position placement of the call pallet is completed. be able to.

On the other hand, the multi-stage multi-row parking facility according to the present invention includes a control device that executes any of the above-mentioned warehousing / delivery control methods.

With this configuration, in a multi-stage multi-row parking facility with multiple rows of storage space, the probability that pallets will be moved on the boarding floor will be reduced, and the waiting time for calling will be shortened and the machine operation will be shortened. It is possible to save energy and reduce noise.

According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the mechanical operation for measures against erroneous warehousing in a multi-stage multi-row parking facility and shorten the waiting time for calling. Moreover, by reducing the mechanical operation, it is possible to save energy and reduce noise.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiment, a multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 having two stages above ground and one stage below ground and having five rows of storage spaces will be mainly described as an example. Each storage space is designed to store the vehicle of the contract user. The contract user is hereinafter simply referred to as a "user". Further, the concept in the vertical and horizontal directions in this specification and the documents of the claims shall be consistent with the concept in the vertical and horizontal directions when the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 shown in FIG. 1 is viewed from the front. ..

(Example of multi-stage multi-row parking facility)
FIG. 1 is a front view configuration diagram showing a multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 according to an embodiment, and has storage spaces of two stages above ground, one stage below ground, and five rows. Hereinafter, the second floor above ground is also referred to as "upper", the ground floor is also referred to as "middle", and the first basement floor is also referred to as "lower". In this embodiment, the upper stage is the upper storage space 21 that can store the high vehicle height vehicle H, the middle stage is the middle stage storage space 22 that can store the high vehicle height vehicle H, and the lower stage is the lower stage that stores the low vehicle height vehicle N. The storage space is 23. The middle stage storage space 22, which is a predetermined stage of multiple stages, is the entrance floor of the ground floor. The lower storage space 23 is provided in a pit 24 formed by excavating the ground. These storage spaces 21, 22, and 23 are constructed using a structural frame (not shown) that combines columns and beams as a skeleton.

Five upper pallets 30 are arranged in the upper storage space 21, and five lower pallets 32 are arranged in the lower storage space 23. In the middle storage space 22 which is the warehousing / delivery floor, four middle pallets 31 which are one less than the five rows of storage space 22 are arranged so as to be traversable, and an empty space 25 for one is formed in the center. Has been done.

The middle pallet 31 can traverse in the left-right direction between the middle storage spaces 22 by a traversing drive unit (not shown). The upper pallet 30 of the upper storage space 21 and the lower pallet 32 of the lower storage space 23 can be moved up and down from the middle storage space 22 by an elevating chain (not shown) driven by an elevating drive unit (not shown). ing. The upper pallet 30 is arranged to be lowered or the lower pallet 32 is arranged to be raised in the empty space 25 of the middle storage space 22. The empty space 25 can be moved left and right by traversing the middle pallet 31. As a result, the high vehicle height vehicle H and the low vehicle height vehicle N can be loaded and unloaded for each of the pallets 30 to 32 arranged in the middle stage storage space 22 which is the boarding floor.

The multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 in the illustrated state shows a state in which all the middle pallets 31 are arranged in a fixed position. As the fixed position of the middle pallet 31 in this embodiment, the center of the five rows is the empty space 25, and the middle pallets 31 are arranged in the left two rows and the right two rows. In this state, for example, when warehousing / delivery is performed for the pallets, one of the upper pallets 30 or the lower pallets 32 is arranged in the empty space 25, and all the other upper pallets 30 are in the upper storage space 21. All of the other lower pallets 32 can be arranged in the lower storage space 23. The position including the position of the middle pallet 31 and the positions of the upper pallet 30 and the lower pallet 32 may be set as a fixed position. The fixed position is stored in a storage unit (ROM or the like) of the control device 26. The control device 26 has a control unit that executes a warehousing / delivery control method described later.

Further, in the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 of this embodiment, a fence 41 is provided in front of the pallet on the boarding floor 40. The fence 41 can be opened and closed in the vertical direction. By opening the fence 41, it is possible to enter and leave the pallets 30 to 32 of the middle storage space 22 from an outer space such as a road. The front of the middle storage space 22 is blocked by the closing operation of the fence 41. The structure of the fence 41 is not limited, but one that can be opened and closed by a jack, one that can be opened and closed by a chain, and the like can be used. The driver's panel for operating the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 is provided on a support column or the like forming the storage spaces 21 to 23.

(Explanation of driving operation)
FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 shown in FIG. In this flowchart, "user operation / work of the driver's panel", "opening / closing of the fence", and "movement of the elevating / traversing pallet" are described and described side by side in the horizontal direction. In this specification and documents within the scope of claims, the traversable middle pallet 31 is also referred to as a “traverse pallet”, and the elevating upper pallet 30 and the lower pallet 32 are also referred to as an “elevating pallet”.

First, the user performs a power "on" operation (S1), and then the "call number" input of the call palette and the "start" button operation are performed (S2). As a result, it is determined whether or not the elevating pallets (30) and (32) are called (S3). In the case of calling the elevating pallets (30) and (32), it is determined whether or not the target elevating pallets (30) and (32) are on the boarding floor 40 (S4). Then, when the target elevating pallets (30) and (32) are landed on the boarding floor 40, the fence open indicator light blinks and the fence open operation becomes possible (S5).

On the other hand, if it is determined in the determination (S3) whether or not the nominal pallet is the elevating pallet (30) or (32), it is determined that the calling pallet is not the elevating pallet (30) or (32), the called traverse pallet (31) is used. It is determined whether or not the pallet is stopped at a fixed position (S6). When it is determined that the called traverse pallet (31) is stopped at a fixed position, the fence open indicator lamp blinks as described above, and the fence open operation becomes possible (S5).

If it is determined in the determination (S6) whether or not the called traverse pallet (31) is stopped at the fixed position, it is determined that the traverse pallet (31) is not stopped at the fixed position, the traverse pallet (31) is moved to the fixed position. Is started (S7). According to the present invention, the probability that this arrangement movement to a fixed position occurs is reduced as described later, and it is possible to obtain effects such as shortening of waiting time for calling, energy saving, and noise reduction.

Then, when the arrangement and movement of the traversing pallet (31) to the fixed position is completed (S8), the fence open indicator lamp blinks as described above, and the fence open operation becomes possible (S5).

On the other hand, when it is determined in the determination (S4) whether or not the elevating pallets (30) and (32) for the above purpose have landed on the boarding floor 40, it is determined that the elevating pallets (30) and (32) have not landed on the boarding floor 40. The calling operation of the target elevating pallets (30) and (32) is started (S9). Then, when the target elevating pallets (30) and (32) land on the boarding floor 40 and the arrangement movement is completed (S10), the fence open indicator light blinks as described above, and the fence open operation is possible. (S5). Calling the elevating pallet may be a known operation.

The user knows that the fence can be opened and entered / exited by the blinking of the fence "open" indicator light, and presses the "open" button of the fence (S11). When the fence "open" button is pressed, the key switch for operating the power supply of the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 is locked (S12), and then the fence opening operation is started (S13). Then, when the opening operation of the fence is completed (S14), the fence opening indicator light is turned off (S15). After that, the user moves in and out of the vehicle (S16).

After entering and leaving the car, the user presses the "close" button on the fence (S17). As a result, the fence "close" indicator flashes (S18), and the fence closing operation is started (S19). When the fence is lowered and the closing operation is completed (S20), the fence "closed" indicator light is turned off (S21), and the lock of the key switch is released (S22). Then, by turning off the power (S23), the process ends.

According to the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 controlled in and out in this way, if the target traversing pallet (31) is not stopped at a fixed position at the stage when the user inputs the "call number", the fixed position is fixed. The placement movement to the position is performed. If the target elevating pallets (30) and (32) have not landed on the boarding floor 40, the arrangement and movement to the boarding floor 40 is performed. As a result, the user always enters and leaves the pallet in the same row, and it is possible to prevent erroneous warehousing that the user enters and leaves the pallet of another user.

Then, according to the present invention, the probability that the traversing pallet (31) is arranged and moved to a fixed position on the boarding floor 40 can be reduced as follows.

(Explanation of placement movement due to difference in fixed position)
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the probability that the arrangement movement of the warehousing / delivery control method occurs in the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 shown in FIG. In the case of a fixed position (hereinafter referred to as "conventional arrangement") in which all the traversing pallets (1) to (4) are moved to the left and the rightmost column is an empty space 25 on the boarding floor 40 in the 5th row, the central part. In the case of a fixed position in which the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are evenly arranged on the left and right sides (hereinafter referred to as “arrangement of the present invention”) with the empty space 25 as an empty space 25, the probability that the arrangement movement will occur will be described.

The traversing pallet 31 (FIG. 1) is numbered consecutively from "1", and the empty space 25 (FIG. 1) is shown as a blank. Further, the probability that the arrangement movement shown below occurs is that the user who performed the calling operation is the contractor of the traversing pallet 31, and the user immediately before is the contractor of the elevating pallets 30 and 32 (FIG. 1). And. In addition, all users shall use it at the same frequency. Further, when the number of columns is an odd number, the arrangement in which the center column is an empty space 25 is set as a fixed position, and when the number of columns is an even number, the arrangement in which either the left or right side of the center is an empty space 25 is a fixed position. It shall be decided as.

<In the case of 5 rows>
For the 5 rows of boarding floors 40, the conventional arrangement in which the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are moved to the left and the case of the present invention in which the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are evenly arranged on the left and right. In, the probability that the placement movement will occur is as follows. As the initial arrangement of traversing, all traversing pallets (1) to (4) are moved to the left and the empty space 25 is at the right end, and all traversing palettes (1) to (4) are moved to the right. There are 5 patterns up to the state where the empty space 25 is at the left end. The number of patterns in the initial arrangement is the same as the number of columns, and is the same in any of the following examples. In the figure, the case of the conventional arrangement is shown by (A), and the case of the arrangement of the present invention is shown by (B) (hereinafter, the same applies to all the examples).

First, the number of nominal patterns of the traversing pallets (1) to (4) after being stored in the elevating pallets ((30), (32): (FIG. 1)) is 4 even if the positions of the empty spaces 25 are different. There are four patterns that call each of the traversing pallets (1) to (4) of the table. Since there are 5 different initial arrangements in the 5 columns, the total number of patterns by the combination of the initial arrangement and the so-called pattern is "20". The total number of patterns is "100%".

Further, in the initial arrangement in which one traverse pallet (4) at the right end is moved to the right, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the traverse pallet (4) is moved to the left in one pattern that calls the traverse pallet (4) at the right end. The arrangement movement of "1" to be moved occurs, and in the case of the arrangement of the present invention, the arrangement movement of "1" to move the traverse pallet (3) to the right occurs in one pattern calling the traverse pallet (3) in the center. .. Further, in the state where the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are initially arranged evenly on the left and right, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the traverse pallets (3) are used in two patterns calling the two traverse pallets (3) or (4) on the right side. ), (4) or only (3) is moved to the left, and the arrangement movement of "2" occurs, and in the arrangement of the present invention, the arrangement movement does not occur and becomes "0". Further, in the initial arrangement in which the three traverse pallets (2) to (4) are placed on the right side, in the case of the conventional arrangement, any of the traverse pallets (2) to (4) placed on the right side is used. In the three patterns to be called, the arrangement movement of "3" that moves all of the traverse pallets (2) to (4) or only (2), (3) or (2) to the left occurs, and in the arrangement of the present invention, the traverse pallet ( In one pattern that calls 2), the arrangement movement of "1" that moves one traverse pallet (2) in the center to the left occurs. Further, in the initial arrangement in which all the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are placed on the right side, in the case of the conventional arrangement, four patterns calling any of the four traverse pallets (1) to (4). In the present invention, the arrangement movement of "4" that moves all of the traversing pallets (1) to (4) or only (1) to (3) or (1), (2) or (1) to the left occurs. In the arrangement, in the two patterns calling the traverse pallets (1) or (2), the arrangement movement of "2" that moves both of the two traverse pallets (1) and (2) or only (1) to the left occurs. As described above, the arrangement movement occurs when the traverse pallets (1) to (4) are in different initial arrangements with respect to the fixed positions.

When the number of patterns in which these arrangement movements occur is totaled, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the arrangement movement occurs in the combination pattern of "10", whereas in the case of the arrangement of the present invention, in the combination pattern of "6". Arrangement movement will occur. Therefore, with respect to all the above-mentioned arrangement movements "20", the arrangement movement occurs with a probability of "50%" in the case of the conventional arrangement and "30%" in the case of the arrangement of the present invention.

(4) to (6), (5) to (6), (6) in any of the traverse pallets (4) to (6) in the three patterns calling any of the traverse pallets (4) to (6). ) Is moved to the right. Further, in the initial arrangement in which one traverse pallet (6) at the right end is moved to the right, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the traverse pallet (6) is moved to the left in one pattern in which the traverse pallet (6) at the right end is called. Arrangement of "1" to be moved In the case of the arrangement of the present invention, both the traverse pallet (4) and (5) in the two patterns calling the traverse pallet (4) or (5) to the right of the center. Or, the arrangement movement of "2" that moves (5) to the right occurs. Further, in the initial arrangement in which the empty space 25 is arranged in the right adjacent column in the center, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the horizontal pallets (5) are used in the two patterns calling the two horizontal pallets (5) and (6) on the right side. ), (6) or (5) is moved to the left, and the arrangement movement of "2" occurs. The arrangement movement of "1" that moves to the right occurs. Further, in the initial arrangement in which the traverse pallets (1) to (6) are evenly arranged on the left and right, in the case of the conventional arrangement, one of the three traverse pallets (4) to (6) on the right side is called 3 In the pattern, the arrangement movement of "3" that moves any of the traverse palettes (4) to (6) ((4) to (6), (4) to (5), (4)) to the left occurs. In the arrangement of the present invention, the arrangement movement does not occur and becomes "0". Further, in the initial arrangement in which the four traverse pallets (3) to (6) are placed on the right side, any of all the traverse pallets (3) to (6) on the right side is called in the case of the conventional arrangement. In the four patterns, move any of the traverse pallets (3) to (6) ((3) to (6), (3) to (5), (3) to (4), (3)) to the left. The arrangement movement of "4" occurs, and in the case of the arrangement of the present invention, the arrangement movement of "1" that moves the traverse pallet (3) to the left in one pattern that calls one traverse pallet (3) that is closer to the right side. Occurs. Further, in the initial arrangement in which five traverse pallets (2) to (6) are placed on the right side, any of all the traverse pallets (2) to (6) on the right side is called in the case of the conventional arrangement. Any of the traversing palettes (2) to (6) ((2) to (6), (2) to (5), (2) to (4), (2) to (3), (2) in 5 patterns. )) Is moved to the left, and in the case of the arrangement of the present invention, the two traverse pallets (2) or (3) that are closer to the right side are called the traverse pallets (2). , (3) or only (2) is moved to the left, and the arrangement movement of "2" occurs. Further, in the initial arrangement in which all the traversing pallets (31) are located on the right side, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the traversing pallets (1) to 6 patterns are called 6 traversing pallets (1) to (6). Any of (6) ((1) to (6), (1) to (5), (1) to (4), (1) to (3), (1) to (2), (1) ) Is moved to the left, and in the arrangement of the present invention, the traverse pallets (1) to (3) are arranged in three patterns calling any of the three traverse pallets (1) to (3). The arrangement movement of "3" that moves any of ((1) to (3), (1) to (2), (1)) to the left occurs.

When the number of patterns in which these arrangement movements occur is totaled, in the case of the conventional arrangement, the arrangement movement occurs in the combination pattern of "21", whereas in the case of the arrangement of the present invention, in the combination pattern of "12". Arrangement movement will occur. Therefore, with respect to all the above-mentioned arrangement movements "42", the arrangement movement occurs with a probability of "50%" in the case of the conventional arrangement and "29%" in the case of the arrangement of the present invention. Therefore, by arranging the empty space 25 in the center and arranging the traversing pallets (1 to 6) evenly on the left and right as the fixed positions of the arrangement of the present invention, the arrangement can be moved when entering and leaving the traversing pallets (1 to 6). The probability of occurrence can be reduced.

As described above, by applying the warehousing / delivery control method of the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 in the number of rows of three or more rows, the probability that the arrangement movement occurs can be reduced. In the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 with 3 to 7 rows, the probability of placement movement occurring when all the fixed positions are moved to one side and when the fixed positions are evenly arranged on the left and right is as follows. ..

(Example of placement movement)
To move the traverse pallet (31) to a fixed position, the traverse pallet (31) is placed by moving the minimum traverse pallet (31) required to place the nominal pallet in the fixed position. It is possible to reduce the energy to be transferred and reduce the generated noise. Further, if the traversing pallet (31) is moved to a fixed position by arranging all the traversing pallets (31) of the boarding floor 40 in a fixed position, all the traversing pallets (31) of the boarding floor 40 are arranged. ) Is placed in a fixed position, so that the probability that the placement movement will occur at the next entry / exit on the boarding / exiting floor 40 can be reduced, and the waiting time at the time of entry / exit can be reduced.

(Summary)
As described above, according to the warehousing / delivery control method of the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20, the empty space 25 on the boarding floor 40 is set at the center of the number of rows or next to it, and the fixed position of the traverse pallet (31) is set. By making the left and right sides even or close to each other, it is possible to significantly reduce the probability that the arrangement movement will occur. Further, by reducing the operation of the arrangement movement, the waiting time for the calling operation can be shortened, and the energy saving and the noise can be reduced by reducing the mechanical operation.

In addition, when the traverse pallet (31) is set to a fixed position moved to the left or right, the probability that the traverse pallet (31) will be moved at the time of calling is higher in the pallet on the opposite side to the pallet on the moved side. As a result, there is a difference in the waiting time for calling, which causes a feeling of unfairness among users. On the other hand, if the left and right sides are made even, the difference in the frequency of arrangement movement between the pallets is greatly improved, and it is possible to alleviate the feeling of unfairness.

Even when only the minimum pallet is restored when the arrangement is moved, the probability that the arrangement movement will occur becomes smaller as the fixed position is set evenly on the left and right. Further, when the user who performed the calling operation is a contractor of the elevating pallet (30, 32), the probability of occurrence of the arrangement movement of the traverse pallet for warehousing / delivery does not change regardless of the setting of the fixed position.

Examples of the multi-stage multi-row parking facility 20 include a multi-stage multi-row parking facility with 1 to 2 steps underground, 1 to 4 steps above ground, and a multi-stage multi-row parking facility with 2 to 5 steps above ground. It suffices if there is a step in which the traversing palette (31) traverses, and the number of steps, the number of horizontal columns, and the like are not limited to the above-described embodiment.
