Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a control method for a circulating multi-level parking system for accommodating vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles.

Conventionally, the control method for a circulating multi-storey parking system was to designate a specific cage for a specific contracted vehicle under a monthly contract, etc. at the time of contract, and make it exclusive for each contracted vehicle, and use the remaining cages that were not designated as general outpatient cages. A commonly used method is to arbitrarily allocate cages to cars on a case-by-case basis.

However, this control method of specifying a predetermined cage for a contract vehicle has the following drawbacks.

In other words, the load often becomes unbalanced,
This wastes energy and therefore requires the capacity of the drive to be reduced.

Furthermore, since there are differences in the usage of contracted vehicles, the usage of the equipment is not evened out, which shortens the life of the equipment as a whole.

Furthermore, even if a contracted vehicle has an empty cage, it cannot enter the garage unless it is in a designated cage, and depending on which cage is designated, there may be an unfair waiting time when entering and exiting the garage. This may lead to a decrease in

As a way to solve these drawbacks, for example, a manager could distinguish between contract cars and general outpatient cars, give priority to contract cars, and allocate them to arbitrary cages each time, in order to average out the utilization rate of the cages. With this method, even subscribers who regularly use the service must memorize the cage number each time they use the service, which poses a problem of service deterioration.

The present invention has been developed with these points in mind.The contractor only needs to memorize a specific registration number, and the utilization rate of each cage is averaged, improving service and extending the life of the equipment. The aim is to provide a control method that can measure the

The control method according to the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the operation panel of a multilevel parking system to which the present invention is applied, where 1 is the operation panel, 2 is an arrival cage display device, and 3
is a keyboard, 4 is a stocking button, and 5 is a stocking button.

FIG. 2 is an example of a block diagram showing the principle of the control method according to the present invention, and 6a is a warehousing signal, for example, the first
This occurs when the warehousing button shown in FIG. 4 is operated.

Reference numeral 6b is an exit signal, which is generated by operating the exit button shown in FIG. 1, for example.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cage selection device which is a part of the control device 12, and is, for example, a device for selecting an empty cage that can maintain an appropriate balance state when selecting an empty cage, or a device that selects an empty cage that is close to the storage position and therefore has a short waiting time. This is a device for selecting a cage, etc.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a registration signal, which is generated, for example, by operating the keyboard shown in FIG. 1 and 3.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a storage device which is a part of the control device 12 and stores the number and number of storage cages.

10 is a transmission signal between the car selection device 7 and the storage device 9, and 11 is a car call command signal.

In the above configuration, when a general visitor or a contracted vehicle arrives at the parking position and operates the parking button 4, the parking signal 6a is generated, and an empty cage is generated. If the cage has already arrived, the cage is selected, and if not, the cage selection device 7 selects an empty cage that minimizes the unbalance of the load, generates a cage call command signal 11, and selects the empty cage. arrives.

After the general visitor or the contractor enters the vehicle into the warehouse, the contractor inputs a specific registration number, and the general visitor inputs the number of the cage into which the vehicle was entered, using the keyboard 3.

A registration signal 8 is generated by operating the keyboard 3, and the cage number, registration number, etc. are stored in the storage device 9.

General visitors memorize the number of the cage they have entered, or have their card received by a manager or the like, while the contractor does not need to remember the number of the cage they have entered.

Furthermore, by storing the number of contractors in the storage device 9, monitoring the number of vehicles parked by the contractor, and securing only the necessary number of vehicles on a priority basis, the contractor can always use the multi-story parking device.

Next time, if you are a general visitor or a contractor, please press exit button 5.
When operated, an exit signal 6b is generated, and then the contractor inputs a specific registration number, and the general contractor inputs the number of the cage entered in the warehouse using the keyboard 3, the cage selection device 7 is activated.
receives the stored contents from the storage device 9 from the transmission signal 101C, selects the car to be unloaded, and sends the car call command signal 1.
1 is generated and the cage arrives at the unloading position.

As explained above, the present invention secures the necessary number of empty cages according to the number of contracted cars, allocates any appropriate cage to the contracted car in the same way as general visitors, and assigns the cage number to the contracted car. Since the registration number of the contracted vehicle will be memorized, general visitors can use it as before.
In addition, the system allows the usage of the device to be averaged without causing a decline in service, such as having to remember the cage number every time the customer enters the warehouse, and furthermore, as a cage selection device, it always maintains an appropriate balance. By incorporating an appropriate cage selection device, such as a device that selects an empty cage or a device that selects an empty cage with the minimum waiting time, significant effects such as improved service, reduced energy consumption, and extended device life can be expected. Can be done.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and for example, the registration number and cage number may be operated using a card or a key instead of the keyboard.

Further, in the above explanation, a case has been described in which contracted vehicles and general outpatient vehicles are used together, but it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a multilevel parking system exclusively for contracted vehicles.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 Equipped with a control device that has a cage selection device that selects an appropriate cage and a storage device that stores the number of people in each cage, and also secures empty cages with priority over general outpatient vehicles according to the number of contracted vehicles. In the control method for a circulating multi-level parking system in which vehicles enter and exit the parking lot using the control device, the cage of the contracted vehicle can be designated by assigning an appropriate cage each time the vehicle enters the parking lot using the cage selection device, in the same way as for general outpatient vehicles. A control method for a multi-level parking system, characterized in that the allocated cage number and the registration number of the contracted car are stored together, so that the operation of entering and leaving the contracted car is performed using the registration number.
