When the vehicle 2 stops at the fixed position of the entry floor 6, the display of the operation screen 26 changes to the screen shown in FIG. 12, and "Please confirm safety in the hall and press the confirmation button" is displayed. Further, in the sub display field B, a display of “confirmation” meaning that it is a confirmation step is added. The manager confirms that the driver of the vehicle 2 has exited from the entrance 6, and checks the condition of the vehicle. For example, check if the antenna is stored, the door mirror is folded, the door is not open, the engine is stopped, the vehicle is not protruding from the pallet, etc., and if there is no abnormality Touch the "confirm" icon.

Then, the screen changes to the screen shown in FIG. 13, and an icon "close the door" is displayed along with a guide "Please check the unmanned space in the hall and close the door". The manager again confirms the unmanned indoors and then touches the "close door" icon to close the entry / exit door 3. In the sub-display field B, a display of "door closed" meaning that the door closing step is performed is added.

When the entry / exit door 3 is completely closed, the display of the operation screen 26 changes to the screen shown in FIG. 14, and the number of vehicles that can be parked is displayed as one less than the initial number (for example, 99). This completes warehousing using the automatic selection warehousing method.

[Manual receipt method]
When selecting the manual warehousing method, first, as shown in FIG. 15, on the initial screen, the “carry-in status” of the two icons “vehicle type” and “cargo status” displayed in the main display field A Touch the icon. This changes the screen to that shown in FIG. On this screen, the internal structure of the parking tower 4 is displayed in a simplified manner, and the icons 14i of the vehicle storage racks 14 are displayed in real time, together with their respective numbers and the status of the vacant car / present car. Only the pallet is displayed on the empty car icon 14i, and the pallet and the picture of the vehicle loaded thereon are displayed on the car icon 14i. Then, as described later, by touching the empty vehicle display icon 14i, it is possible to cause the control device 40 to execute the storage operation.

Further, each icon 14i displays a vehicle type that can be parked on the vehicle storage shelf, and a plug is provided at a location (the first to fourth vehicle storage shelves in FIG. 16) provided with the charging device 18, for example. The code charging mark is displayed and can be recognized. For example, "high" is displayed where a high roof vehicle can be accommodated, and "mid" is displayed where only a mid roof vehicle can be accommodated. In addition, types such as an ordinary car, a low floor car, an oversized car, and a mini car can be considered. The mid-roof car and the mini-car can also be stored in a vehicle storage shelf for a high-roof vehicle.

Here, what can be displayed on the operation screen 26 is only a part of the entire hierarchy of the parking tower 4, for example, only five hierarchies, and is displayed on the right side of the screen when you want to see the hierarchy not displayed. Touch the scroll icons C, D, E and F to scroll the screen. When the scroll icons D and E are touched, the screen is scrolled up and down by one screen (five layers) respectively, and when the scroll icons C and F are touched, the screen is skipped to the top and bottom layers, respectively.

At the lower part of the sub display column B, a vehicle weight indicator G indicating a vehicle weight and a speed indicator H indicating an elevating speed of the lift 12 are displayed. Further, at the lower part of the main display field A, a current stage display icon J that displays the level where the lift 12 is currently located in numbers, and icons K and L displayed as "front side" and "back side" Is provided.

Next, the procedure at the time of leaving will be described.
At the time of leaving the product, as shown in FIG. 28, the icon of “receipt status” displayed on the initial screen of the operation screen 26 is touched. Thus, the screen changes to the screen shown in FIG. If the vehicle you want to leave is stored in, for example, the 16th vehicle storage shelf, the icon of the 16th vehicle storage shelf is not displayed on the screen shown in FIG. Scroll the screen to the upper hierarchy. As a result, the screen shifts to the screen shown in FIG. Then, the icon 14i of the sixteenth vehicle storage rack is touched. As a result, the control device 40 can execute the delivery operation.

That is, the screen of the operation screen 26 changes to the screen shown in FIG. 31, and icons of “Yes” and “No” are displayed along with a guide “Do you want to leave the high roof / charging pallet No. 16?”. When the “Yes” icon is touched, the screen changes to the screen shown in FIG. 32, and the state until the lift icon 12i rises and reaches the 16th shelf is displayed in real time. At this time, the number of the pallet being called (No. 16) and the time (for example, 1 minute and 30 seconds) until the pallet arrives at the entrance 6 are displayed in the upper part of the sub display field B. In addition, the rising speed of the lift 12 is displayed on the speed indicator H, and the number of the hierarchy through which the lift 12 is passing is displayed on the current stage display icon J.

When the lift 12 ascends to the height of the 16th shelf, as shown in FIG. 33, a state that the pallet and the vehicle are delivered over the lift icon 12i is displayed from the icon 14i of the 16th vehicle storage shelf, When the is completed, as shown in FIG. 34, the state where the lift 12 descends is displayed together with the lowering speed and the vehicle weight, and as shown in FIG. 35, the state where the lift 12 arrives at the entrance 6 is displayed. . During this time, the arrival time of the pallet 15 displayed at the top of the sub display field B continues to be counted down.

When the lift 12 arrives at the loading / unloading floor 6, the screen changes to the screen of FIG. 36, and a guidance "Please leave the house" is displayed and the door 3 is opened, so the driver of the vehicle 2 goes to the loading / unloading floor 6. Then, the charging cable is removed from the charging device, and the vehicle 2 is taken out of the entrance 6. When the vehicle 2 leaves the loading floor 6, the display of the operation screen 26 changes to the screen shown in FIG. 37, and an icon "close the door" with a guidance "Please confirm the unmanned atmosphere in the hall and close the door". Is displayed. The caretaker confirms the unmanned indoors and then touches the "close door" icon to close the entry / exit door 3.

When the entry / exit door 3 is closed, the display of the operation screen 26 returns to the initial screen shown in FIG. 38, and the number of possible parkings is displayed as one more (e.g., 100) than that before leaving, and the leaving is completed.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 16, for example, a charging mark of a picture of a plug cord is displayed and can be identified on the icon 14i of the vehicle storage shelf provided with the charging device. Such a charging mark As shown in FIGS. 39 (a) to 39 (f), it may be changed according to the state of charge and the type of power used for charge.

For example, (a) is a chargeable mark, (b) is a non-chargeable mark, (c) is a charge-in-progress mark, (d) is a charge-completed mark, (e) is a charge failure mark, (f) The mark indicates the use of power at night, respectively. If charging is not possible as in (b), the charging mark may be deleted.

As described above, the operation panel 25 has the touch panel type operation screen 26. On the operation screen 26, the icon 14i of each vehicle storage rack 14 (or 14E) is an empty car / It is displayed in real time together with the current car status, and touches the icon 14i of the empty display at the time of storage to cause the control device 40 to execute the storage operation, and at the time of storage, the icon 14i of the vehicle storage shelf in which the vehicle for delivery is parked is touched. By doing this, the control device 40 can execute the delivery operation.

As described above, since the entering and leaving situation in the parking lot is clearly displayed on the touch panel type operation screen 26, the manager can surely grasp the entering and leaving situation in the parking lot by looking at the operation screen 26. Then, by touching the icon 14i for displaying an empty vehicle at the time of storage and touching the icon 14i of the vehicle storage shelf 14 at which the delivery vehicle is parked at the time of delivery, the control device 40 can execute the storage operation or the storage operation. .

Therefore, as in the conventional case, it is not necessary to enter the number of the vehicle storage rack or pallet to be stored or unloaded using the numeric keypad, and the control device 40 is caused to start the storage and storage operation by directly touching the icon 14i. Can. Therefore, the operability is good and the possibility of an input error is low.

In addition, since the position and movement of the lift 12 are displayed in real time by the icon 12i along with the icon 14i of each vehicle storage shelf on the operation screen 26, the entering and leaving situation in the parking lot can be grasped more clearly, It is possible to carry out the delivery operation. For example, at the time of warehousing under the manual warehousing method, if an icon 14i for displaying an empty car closest to the icon 12i indicating the position of the lift 12 is touched, it takes time for the lift 12 to pick up the empty pallet in the parking space. The empty pallet can be transported to the loading floor 6 in a short time. As a result, it is possible to minimize the waiting time of the user and enable efficient operation.

Moreover, on the operation screen 26, the vehicle storage shelves 14 of all the levels in the parking tower 4 are not displayed collectively but partially, for example, every 5 levels, and this display is an icon 12i of the lift. The scroll is automatically performed in accordance with the vertical movement, and the scroll can be performed manually by touching the scroll icons C, D, E, and F provided on the screen.

For this reason, even if it is a tower-type mechanical parking facility provided with many hierarchy, it can be displayed about several hierarchy each, without displaying the storage condition in all the hierarchies in list. Therefore, even if the screen size of the operation screen 26 is restricted, the display of each layer can be enlarged to improve the visibility and the touch operability. Moreover, the convenience can be further improved by making the scrolling possible manually.

Furthermore, the icon 14i of each vehicle storage rack 14 displays not only the display of empty cars / cars present, but also the types of vehicles that can be parked on the vehicle storage rack 14, the number of vehicles that can be parked, the presence or absence of a charging device, etc. Therefore, not only ordinary cars but also vehicles with exclusive housing structures such as high roof cars, large cars, low floor cars, and charging vehicles can be stored in the vehicle storage rack 14 of an optimum structure at a single shot without loss. As well as being able to clearly grasp the empty car situation in the parking lot, it is possible to contribute to the efficient operation of the mechanical parking facility 1 by these.

In addition, when the icon 14i for empty car display is touched at the time of storage, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 18, a screen for confirming whether or not to store is displayed on the next screen is displayed. If the icon 14i of the vehicle storage shelf 14 in which the made vehicle is stored is touched, as shown in FIG. 31, the screen which confirms whether it will carry out with the next screen will be displayed. Therefore, even if the icon 14i is touched by mistake, the operation can be corrected, and it is possible to prevent the control device 40 from being activated by an incorrect instruction. Therefore, the operability is good and input errors can be prevented.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, even while the loading and unloading operation is being performed, the user can switch to the reservation operation screen and make a reservation for the next loading and unloading, so wait for the completion of the loading and unloading operation. Instead, it is possible to make a reservation for the next storage operation, and efficient operation can be achieved.

As shown in FIGS. 40 to 42, the immediate storage button M may be displayed on the operation screen 26.
This immediate warehousing button M has only one or more vehicle storage racks 14 in an empty state when the storage operation is not performed, and only when the lift 12 is stopped in the empty state at the entry and exit floor 6 , Is displayed to be touch operable. At this time, the immediate storage button M may be blinked to make it stand out. In addition to the icon 12i of the lift 12, the number of the vehicle storage shelf to which the pallet mounted on the lift 12 belongs is also displayed (in this example, displayed as No. 20).

When the lift 12 is not at the loading floor 6, as shown in FIG. 41, for example, the immediate storage button M is displayed thin and does not respond even if touched. Alternatively, the immediate receipt button M is not displayed. Even in this case, the current stage display icon J indicating the stage where the lift 12 is present is displayed.

When the immediate storage button M is displayed so as to allow touch operation, touching this button opens the storage door 3 and enables entry to the entry floor 6. As a result, even if the manager does not look for or scrolls on the operation screen 26 to search for a vacant space, the manager 2 can get the vehicle 2 into the immediate entry floor 6 by touching the immediate storage button M. Therefore, the operability is improved, and the waiting time of the user can be minimized to achieve efficient operation.

Note that as shown in FIG. 42, convenience can be further enhanced by displaying a car type that can be stored, such as “high roof”, on the immediate storage button M.

As shown in FIG. 43, the immediate delivery button N may be displayed on the operation screen 26.
The instant delivery button N is displayed so as to allow touch operation only when the lift 12 is stopped at the entrance floor 6 when the entry and exit operation is not performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 43, the color of the immediate delivery button N may be reversed, or the immediate delivery button N may be blinked to make it stand out. The operation screen 26 shows that the icon 12i of the lift 12 in the on-vehicle state is on the entrance 6. Further, the number of the vehicle storage shelf to which the loaded pallet belongs is also displayed (in this example, displayed as No. 20).

When the immediate delivery button N is displayed so as to be capable of touch operation, when touching it, the entry / exit door 3 is opened, and the delivery of the car from the entry / exit floor 6 becomes possible. As a result, even if the manager does not view or scroll the operation screen 26, the manager 2 can immediately move the vehicle 2 out of the loading / unloading floor 6 by touching the immediate leaving button N.
This operation is performed when the lift 12 is stopped at the entry floor 6 immediately after the warehousing is in the state of the vehicle, or when the entry / exit door 3 is temporarily closed with no user after the exit call. This is effective when the lift 12 is at a stop on the floor 6 in the vehicle state.
Therefore, the operability is improved, and the waiting time of the user can be minimized to achieve efficient operation.
