Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote monitoring system for a multistory parking lot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to make effective use of land, a multi-storey car park is widely used in which a plurality of vehicle mounting pallets are movably provided in a multi-stage frame. In this type of multi-storey parking lot, a plurality of vehicles can be freely taken in and out, so that a pallet moves horizontally and vertically. A sensor for detecting the regular position of the pallet is provided between the pallet and the frame body, and when the pallet is not moved accurately, the abnormality lamp is turned on and all the pallets are turned on. Movement is set to stop.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional technique, although the sensor can detect the abnormal state of the pallet, the user is in a specific state of abnormality (which pallet is abnormal). I don't know what to do and I don't know what to do. Therefore,
The user calls the person in charge of the parking lot management company to call the person in charge, but it took a considerable amount of time for the person in charge to arrive at the site, which was very inconvenient for the user. In addition, since the user does not know what kind of abnormality is on the phone, the person in charge of the site must carry all kinds of tools and parts so that he or she can deal with any abnormality. It was inefficient.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique. Even if an abnormality occurs in the movement of the pallet, its specific abnormal state can be remotely monitored immediately and its abnormality recovery processing can be performed remotely. It is intended to provide a remote monitoring system for a multi-storey parking lot that can be controlled.

[0005]

In the remote monitoring system for a multi-storey parking lot of the present invention, a plurality of vehicle mounting pallets provided in a multi-stage frame are horizontally moved by a driving means provided for each pallet. In the remote monitoring system of the multi-storey parking lot, which is provided with a sensor that is movable in the vertical direction and / or vertically and that detects the regular position of the pallet in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the signal from the sensor is transmitted to the public line. A transmission means for transmitting via the transmission means and a control means for determining a sensor that has detected an abnormality by receiving a signal from the transmission means are provided, and the transmission means and the drive means are connected to recover the drive means to an abnormality. A signal for driving in the direction is transmitted from the control means to the drive means via the transmission means. Here, "a sensor that detects the normal position of the pallet in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction" means that when there is a cooperating member that moves integrally with the pallet, the sensor detects the position of the cooperating member. It is meant to include the case.

[0006]

According to the remote monitoring system for a multi-storey parking lot of the present invention, the signal from the sensor is transmitted to the management company or the like via the public line by the transmission means, and which part of the sensor portion is controlled by the control means. Since it is possible to determine whether something is abnormal, it is possible to give an appropriate instruction to the telephone from the user while being in a place different from the site. Also, when going to the site, since a specific abnormal state is known, it is sufficient to carry only the minimum tools and parts necessary for the processing.

Further, since the signal for driving the drive means in the abnormal recovery direction can be transmitted from the control means to the drive means via the transmission means, for example, the sensor sends an abnormal signal due to insufficient movement of the pallet. In the case where the pallet is taken out, the abnormal state can be recovered by remote control by moving the pallet by the driving means as much as necessary. Therefore, it is very convenient that the person in charge does not have to go to the site and the abnormal state is immediately resolved by the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The multi-story car park according to this embodiment is mainly composed of a four-tiered frame body 3 in which four pillars 1 and beam members 2 are combined. The uppermost four-stage portion is provided with three rows of pallets P ₄ , P ₄ ′ and P ₄ ″ horizontally. And, each pallet P ₄ , P ₄ ′ and P ₄ ″ has a “driving means”. , A geared motor M ₄ is provided, and the pallets P ₄ and P ₄ are routed from the geared motor M _4
4 ', P ₄ "lower pallet P ₄ double wire 5 moves up and down on both sides of, P _4', P _4" are connected to both sides of. Therefore, this top pallet P ₄ , P ₄ ′, P ₄ ″
Driven by the geared motor M ₄ , it can be moved only in the vertical direction while being suspended by the double wire 5.

[0009] Then, the second and third stages, each of the two pallets P _2, P ₂ 'and P _3, P _3' is provided to be movable in the horizontal and vertical directions. That is, these pallets P ₂ , P ₂ ′, P ₃ and P ₃ ′ are provided in a state of being movably suspended in a frame F which is movable along the beam 2 in the horizontal direction. The frame F is provided with wheels 6 that rotate on the beam 2.
The wheels 6 are rotated by geared motors m ₂ and m ₃ as “driving means”. Then, behind the frame F, there are provided lift-type geared motors M ₂ and M ₃ respectively similar to the above-mentioned ones, and the double wires 5 arranged on both sides of the frame F from the geared motors M ₂ and M ₃ are arranged. Pallets P ₂ , P ₂ ', P ₃ , P at the bottom
It is connected to ₃ '. Therefore, this pallet P ₂ ,
P ₂ ′, P ₃ and P ₃ ′ are movable in the horizontal direction together with the frame F, and can also be moved in the vertical direction while being suspended by the double wire 5.

The lowermost ground portion is provided with pallets P ₁ and P ₁ 'which horizontally move on wheels 6 rotated by a geared motor m ₁ . Therefore, when the fourth stage pallet P ₄ goes down, the pallets P ₁ , P ₂ ,
At the same time, P ₃ horizontally moves to the left, and when the limit switch LS ′ as a “sensor” sends a signal indicating the completion of the movement operation, P ₄ starts to descend.

Similarly, when P ₄ ″ descends, pallets P ₁ ′, P ₂ ′ and P ₃ ′ move horizontally to the right at the same time, and when the limit switch LS ′ sends a signal indicating the completion of the moving operation, ₄ ”starts to descend.

[0012] P ₄ 'is, first stage, second stage, if the third stage is in the horizontal position of normal, can be lowered as it is.

Further, a limit switch LS as a "sensor" for detecting the vertical normal position of the pallet P ₄ etc. is provided in the _4th and 2nd stages described above.

Further, 7 is a control panel and 8 is an operation panel. The control panel 7 drives the geared motors M ₄ , M ₃ , M ₂ (hereinafter, collectively referred to as M), m ₃ , m ₂ , m ₁ (hereinafter, collectively referred to as m) corresponding to the operation by a signal from the operation panel 8. Let's say, pallets P ₄ etc. of each desired stage (hereinafter collectively referred to as P)
Is to move. The respective limit switches LS and LS ′ are also connected to the operation panel 8, and if the pallet P does not come to the normal horizontal position or the vertical position after the movement, the corresponding limit switches LS and LS ′ will not be connected to operate. The abnormal lamp in the panel 8 is turned on. For example, when the wheels 6 slip on the beam 2 and the amount of movement of the pallet P in the horizontal direction is insufficient, or when the pallet P is displaced during horizontal movement, the limit switch in the horizontal direction is used. If LS 'does not turn ON and the winding amount of the double wire 5 becomes insufficient for some reason, the limit switch LS in the vertical direction does not turn ON, so the abnormal lamp of the operation panel 8 lights up. To do.

Further, the operation panel 8 is connected to a computer 10 as a "control means" at another place through a transmission means 9 using a public telephone line T.
The transmission means 9 has a limit switch L as shown in FIG.
A relay unit 11 for inputting signals from S and LS 'and outputting an electromagnetic switch signal to each guard motor M, m, a pair of multiplex transmission units 12 for using the public line T, and an I / O unit 13 It consists of and.

Next, a concrete use mode of the remote monitoring system according to this embodiment will be described. In the unlikely event that the pallet P does not work properly while using the multilevel parking lot, the corresponding pallet P
Limit switches LS and LS 'are not turned on,
When the abnormal lamp of the operation panel 8 is turned on, the user first calls the management company connected to the operation panel 8 via the public line T. Since the signal from the relay unit 11 of the operation panel 8 is transmitted to the computer 10 of the management company through the public line T, which limit switch LS, L
Since it is known whether the part corresponding to S'is abnormal, after notifying the user, the person in charge goes to the site carrying the minimum tools and parts necessary for abnormal recovery. Alternatively, the amount of movement of the pallet P may simply be insufficient due to slipping of the wheels 6 or the like, so that the control means 10 causes the limit switches LS and LS ′, which are in an abnormal state, to be electromagnetically transmitted to the gear motors M and m. A switch signal is output, and the abnormal target pallet P is moved by remote control.
Then, the limit switches LS and LS 'may detect the normal position and the abnormal state may be recovered. By doing so, neither the person in charge nor the need to go to the site is required, and the user does not need to waste unnecessary waiting time because of quick error recovery.

In the following description, the limit switch L
Although only the position detection by S and LS 'is taken as an example of the "sensor", a camera device for taking an image, a microphone for recording a sound, or the like may be additionally provided.

[0018]

According to the remote monitoring system of the present invention,
By transmitting the signal from the sensor to the management company etc. via the public line by the transmission means, and the control means there, it is possible to judge which sensor part is abnormal. You can give appropriate instructions to your phone. Also, when going to the site, since a specific abnormal state is known, it is possible to carry a minimum of tools and parts necessary for the processing.

Further, since the signal for driving the drive means in the abnormal recovery direction can be transmitted from the control means to the drive means via the transmission means, for example, the sensor sends an abnormal signal because the moving amount of the pallet is insufficient. In the case where the pallet is taken out, the abnormal state can be recovered by remote control by moving the pallet by the driving means as much as necessary. Therefore, it is very convenient that the person in charge does not have to go to the site and the abnormal state is immediately resolved by the user.
