Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is suitable for operation control devices for multi-level parking facilities for bicycles, etc. installed in front of urban stations or in city centers, etc., reducing the time required for loading and unloading cars, and enabling unmanned operation of the facilities. This invention relates to operation control means for multi-story parking facilities, multi-story warehouses, etc. [Background Art] In recent years, the number of vehicles, bicycles, etc. as means of transportation has rapidly increased in both urban and rural areas. As a result, illegal parking is occurring everywhere, but there are limits to the enforcement efforts of the Enforcement Bureau, and it is extremely pessimistic to secure land for increasing parking facilities. On the other hand, with regard to bicycles, although some cities have strengthened enforcement by enacting city ordinances, nationwide they are still being left unchecked. For this reason, not to mention traffic disturbances during normal times,
There are concerns that it will hinder evacuation, access of emergency vehicles, and rescue operations in the event of a disaster. In order to solve these problems, it is inevitable that in the future there will be a demand for multi-level parking facilities that can accommodate more cars on a limited amount of land. In particular, measures to deal with bicycles were decided by the Traffic Control Headquarters in January 1978, establishing the ``Bicycle Parking Countermeasures Promotion Guidelines,'' and for the time being, the relevant ministries and agencies are working in close cooperation to promptly take concrete measures such as responsible parties. The government will take measures to strongly promote these measures, and concrete decisions have also been made regarding subsidies from national funds, etc. As can be seen from this situation, future parking facilities will be multi-story, high-rise parking facilities with high land efficiency. There is no doubt that being able to process it is an important requirement. Improvements in this regard are being actively pursued by related parties, but the current situation is that nothing fully satisfactory has yet been developed. As a conventional multi-storey parking lot, the special public park 1984
There is something described in the No. This relates to a method for determining the rotational direction in which a designated cart can be called faster when calling it to an entrance or an exit, and monitoring to prevent the designated cart from accidentally passing through the exit during rotation. Specifically, the trolley number currently at the entrance or exit is initially set in a binary addition counter and a binary subtraction counter, and then the same count pulse is given to both counters and the contents of both counters that change sequentially are called. The addresses are compared by two matching judgment circuits, and the direction of rotation is determined depending on which one matches first, and the two matching judgments are repeated each time the trolley number is updated during rotation;
When the matching end and end are reversed, it is determined that the entrance or exit has been passed. Thereby, the direction of rotation can be determined purely electrically, and deceleration control can also be performed by determining coincidence during rotation. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned method, the contents of the current address register are set by the initial set signal;
Furthermore, since the contents of the call address register must also be set, even if determining the rotation direction becomes easy, it requires setting work prior to the determination, making it difficult to fully automate the process when taking operational errors and intentional troubles into account. There was a problem that. In addition, in the conventional method, even if deceleration control is performed when the trolley at the called address approaches the exit, the target speed during acceleration is constant, so even if the trolley is close to the exit, it will start at the maximum acceleration. Then, the speed will be reduced immediately. Therefore, electric power is wasted, the load on the braking device is large, and there are problems in terms of durability. The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and is mainly intended to shorten the take-out time and improve the efficiency of high-rise parking facilities that are highly efficient in terms of the number of vehicles that can be accommodated. The aim is to achieve complete automation. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, the operation control device for a multilevel parking facility, etc. of the present invention assigns a unique code to each mounting stand for bicycles, etc., and positions it at a predetermined reading position. A code detector is provided for reading the code on the mounting table, and when the endless conveyor is in a stationary state, the code on the mounting table read at the reading position of the code detector is stored in a storage device of a computer, and the code is stored in a storage device of a computer. Based on the mounting table code corresponding to the user number read by inserting the user's exclusive card into the user number reading device at the time of leaving the warehouse and the current position of each mounting table stored in the storage device of the computer. , determine the current position of the designated mounting table, and determine the conveyor moving direction for moving the endless conveyor to the loading/unloading position in the shortest distance based on the relationship between the specified position of the loading table and the loading/unloading position; The present invention is characterized by comprising means for calculating the moving speed and outputting it to the conveyor drive device. [Examples] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on Examples. A first example in which the present invention is applied to a multilevel parking facility is shown below.
It is shown in the figure (a is a plan view, b is a front view, and c is a side view). In this example, there are one or two locations at the bottom.
A large number of car mounting stands 4 are suspended at regular intervals around the outer circumference of an endless conveyor 2 connected to a drive device 6 and arranged three-dimensionally in a tower building 1 having separate intake/outlet ports 3. The parking facility is structured so that loading and unloading is done at the entrance. On the vehicle mounting platform 4, for each total number of vehicles suspended from the endless conveyor 2, there is one marking plate 5 facing counterclockwise as shown in FIG. A mounting table 4 is placed with consideration given to maintaining an appropriate spacing from the image sensor 7 which is fixedly attached to an appropriate location of the entrance/exit 3 of the tower.
Attach it to the required location. The configuration of the operation control device of this embodiment consists of an operation panel 8 provided near the take-out port, a control panel 9 linked to the computer 10, and an appropriate interval at a position where the mounting table 4 is normally stopped at the take-out port 3. It consists of an image sensor 7 fixedly attached to the arrangement, a drive device 6 operated by an output from a control panel 9, and a marking plate 5 attached to each of the above-mentioned mounting tables. Note that 11 is an electrical wiring that connects these devices. Now, when a user wants to take out or take out the car, he or she inserts the special card issued at the time of contract into the user number reading device on the operation panel 8 located near the entrance/exit 3. Then, the drive device 6 selects left rotation or right rotation using a device having the following function, and the position of the mounting table called at that time is determined by the distance to the take-out port, that is, How many units apart from the mounting table are there?
Depending on the length of the distance for the number of units, the effective moving speed of the drive device is moved according to the speed classification that is allocated to the preset speed range from high speed to low speed, and the mounting table requested by the user is moved in the shortest time. call to the entrance. Here, the dedicated card has a unique shape corresponding to the unique serial number display plate 5 attached to the required location of the above-mentioned mounting table, and when inserted into the user number reading device of the operation panel 8, The card has a function of reading the unique number of the mounting table shown on the dedicated card and transmitting the signal to the control panel 9. Next, the specific functions of this control device will be explained below. When the apparatus is at the stop position, the image sensor 7 reads the unique marking number (Si) of the mounting table located at the take-out port at that time. Image sensor 7
The outputs determine the combinations shown in Table 1. In Table 1, the "Conveyor rotation direction" column indicates that if the designated loading table is on the left side of each loading table group shown in Figure 2, it will be rotated to the left, and if it is on the right side, it will be rotated to the right. This indicates that the distance should be minimized. Note that the mounting table located at the opposite position of the conveyor to the mounting table at the take-out/outlet portion may be rotated in any direction, but in this case, it is rotated to the right.
The next column "Placement table travel distance classification" is a classification of the travel distance to the take-out port, with 1 representing the shortest and 8 representing the longest. The next column, "Traveling speed classification", changes the traveling speed according to the length of the travel distance to shorten the travel time, and the size of the speed is r<s<...<y It is.
