Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a parking lot management device and is intended to improve the efficiency of parking lot use.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional parking lot management methods include checking hourly and monthly parking customers, recording the hourly parking customers or monthly parking customers in a notebook, and understanding and managing the usage status of the parking lot. In parking lots, etc., a method is adopted in which a magnet is placed on the operation panel indicating each parking spot in the parking lot at the parking spot where the vehicle is parked to mark the usage status.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, management of usage status using notes,
In either case of management using magnets, it is troublesome to calculate the number of remaining units (number of units available for rental), and it is extremely troublesome and time-consuming to record in a notebook and attach/detach magnets. There were various shortcomings.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a parking lot management device that can improve the drawbacks of the prior art described above and easily determine the number of cars that can be rented per hour.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above objective, the present invention has a table of the number of cars to be rented per hour in which a timetable of the number of cars rented at each hour is preset based on the contracted time of the contract customer, a clock that measures the current time, and a clock that measures the current time. Based on the information on the arrival and departure of rental vehicles, the number of vehicles currently being rented by the hour is detected by the hourly rental vehicle number detection means, the preset value at the current time measured by the clock is read from the hourly storage number table, and the number of vehicles rented by the hour is read out. A calculation means for calculating the number of available parking spaces for calculating the number of available parking spaces for hourly rental by subtracting the detected value for the number of parking spaces from the preset value and displaying the calculated value on the number display means for displaying the number of available parking spaces. .

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the display device for calculating the number of available parking spaces is
Based on the input/output information of hourly rental vehicles, the number of vehicles currently rented by the hour is detected by the hourly rental vehicle number detection means,
reading a preset value at the current time measured by the clock from the hourly accommodation number table;
A value obtained by subtracting the detected value of the number of parking spaces rented per hour from the preset value by a subtraction means is obtained as a number of vacant parking spaces for hourly rental, and is displayed on a display means for the number of available parking spaces.

Therefore, by looking at this display, you can understand the number of cars available for hourly rentals, making it simple and easy to manage your parking facilities, and to use them in free locations (i.e., specifying locations for each subscriber). (You can park your car in a vacant spot at any time instead of using it as a parking lot.) This reduces waiting time and improves efficiency.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 2 shows an example of the usage situation in the case of a parking lot with parking spaces for 10 cars. It shows that one other subscriber I has a contract from 7:00 to 18:00 using the time zone shown in
A parking lot with a capacity of 10 cars is used for contract parking for a total of 11 cars. Even in this case, the warehouse remains vacant during the delivery time, and it is possible to rent it out by the hour.

FIG. 3 shows a table of the number of rental cars for each hour based on FIG. 2. The shaded area is the area occupied by the contractor. A, B, H,... are examples of people actually lending their time.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention. In FIG. 1, the table shown in FIG. 3 is preset in the hourly accommodation number table 1. A parking signal 8 is input to the parking available number calculation display 3 each time a vehicle enters the parking lot, and an exit signal 7 is input each time a vehicle leaves the parking lot. In the case of hourly rental, an hourly rental identification signal 9 is added to the warehousing signal 8. Internal clock 1
0 indicates the current time information 12 and the number of available parking spaces calculation display 3
Enter. The number of available parking spaces calculation display 3 calculates and displays the current number of vacant parking spaces available for hourly rental based on the hourly accommodation number table 1, entry/exit signals 7, 8, 9, and current time information 12. That is, based on the input/output information 7, 8, and 9 of hourly rental vehicles, the hourly rental number detection means 11 detects the number 14 of vehicles currently rented by the hour, and the preset value at the current time 12 measured by the clock 10 is detected. The value 13 is read from the hourly accommodation number table 1, and the subtraction means 15 subtracts the hourly rental number detection value 14 from the preset value 13 to obtain the value 16 of vacant cars for hourly rental, and parking is possible. It is displayed on the number display means 3'. Maximum parking time calculation display 4
This calculates the longest parking time available for the hourly rental car that is about to enter the parking lot and displays it on the longest time display means 4'.

An example of the operation panel is shown in Fig. 4. On this operation panel 2, the number of available parking spaces is displayed by means 3' of displaying the number of available parking spaces, and the maximum parking time is displayed using the maximum parking time displaying means 4'. 5 is the cage call push button, the lamp lights up when it is in use,
The stocking signal 8 is output. When the lamp goes out, the exit signal 7 is output. Reference numeral 6 denotes a push button for hourly rental customers, and when pressed, the hourly rental identification signal 9 is output. In the case of hourly rentals, press the cage call push button 5 and the hourly rental customer pushbutton 6 when entering the warehouse.
When you press both, the hourly rental identification signal 9 is activated as described above.
is added to the warehousing signal 8. Therefore, in order to detect the number of vehicles that are currently being rented out by the hour, it is sufficient to calculate the difference between the number of vehicles that come in and the number of vehicles that leave the garage based on these input/output signals 7, 8, and 9.

An example of management by the parking lot management device of FIG. 1 is shown.

For example, in Figure 3, three cars can be rented after 6 o'clock, and parking times of 18 hours, 14 hours, and 14 hours can be secured respectively. At this time, the parking available number display means 3' displays 3 vehicles, and the maximum parking time display means 4' displays 18 hours. Here, if there is an hourly car in A at 6 o'clock, the next display will change to 2 cars and 14 hours, and if there is an hourly car in B, the display will change to 1 car and 14 hours, respectively. In the same manner, you can rent out your time in the same way. When the hourly rental vehicle (A) leaves the parking lot at 12 o'clock, the remaining 12 hours of (A) become available for use, and the number of available vehicles is increased by one and displayed.

In the above embodiment, the case where the table of contractors is fixed has been explained, but it is also possible to change the table according to the arrival and departure of contractors by combining the exit signal 7, the arrival signal 8, and the hourly rental identification signal 9. It is. Additionally, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of contracted cars or change the contracted time period by modifying the table.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the number of vehicles currently being rented by the hour is detected by the hourly rental vehicle number detecting means based on the information on entering and exiting the hourly rental vehicles, and the number of vehicles being rented by the hour is detected at the current time measured by the clock. A preset value is read from the table of the number of parking spaces per hour, and a value obtained by subtracting the detected value of the number of cars rented per hour from the preset value by a subtraction means is obtained as a value of vacant cars for hourly rental, and the value is displayed on the number of available parking spaces display means. Therefore, you can see the number of cars available for hourly rental by looking at this display, making the management of parking facilities simple and easy, allowing them to be used in free locations, reducing waiting time, and increasing efficiency. You can make improvements. In addition, even if there is an increase or decrease in the number of monthly contract customers, it is easy to deal with it by modifying the preset value of the counter.Furthermore, since the remaining number of used devices is displayed accurately, operation is simple and labor savings can be achieved. There are various effects such as:
