Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking lot control device and a method for controlling noise and vibration of a mechanical parking lot.

Background Art

[0002] In buildings such as commercial buildings and condominiums, a mechanical parking lot may be installed side by side. In such a mechanical parking lot installed together with a living environment, the influence of noise and vibration during the entry and exit of vehicles on the residents in the building becomes a problem. In particular, at night, there is a risk of affecting sleep due to noise and vibration.

[0003] Conventionally, there have been proposals to restrict the entry and exit of vehicles at night or to reduce the driving speed of machines during the night time zone to reduce the noise generated from the machines (for example, Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the conventional method, simply by changing the lifting and lowering speed depending on the time zone, the noise is only reduced, and at present, no effective measures have been taken to reduce noise and vibration.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been made, and an object thereof is to provide a parking lot control device and a method for controlling noise and vibration of a mechanical parking lot that can appropriately reduce noise and vibration according to the type of parking lot and the characteristics of the building in which the parking lot is installed for each time zone.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] An aspect of the present invention for achieving the above objective is a parking control device for controlling a mechanical parking system installed alongside the living space of a building, comprising: a noise and vibration source command value table that obtains permissible values ​​for each time period of noise and vibration measured in advance from the noise and vibration source of the mechanical parking system, and stores in a table the command values ​​to the noise and vibration source corresponding to those permissible values; a noise and vibration source command value search unit that searches the noise and vibration source command value table for a command value corresponding to the time period when a predetermined time period arrives; and a command value output unit that outputs the command value searched by the noise and vibration source command value search unit to the corresponding noise and vibration source.

[0008] Another aspect of the present invention is a noise and vibration control method for a mechanical parking system installed alongside the living space of a building, wherein the noise and vibration setpoints of the noise and vibration sources of the mechanical parking system and the command values ​​to the noise and vibration sources corresponding to the noise and vibration setpoints are stored as a noise and vibration source command value table for each time period, and when a predetermined time period arrives, the command value corresponding to the time period is retrieved from the noise and vibration source command value table, and the retrieved command value is output to the corresponding noise and vibration source to drive and control the noise and vibration source. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the parking control device and noise and vibration control method for mechanical parking lots of the present invention, noise and vibration can be appropriately reduced according to the time of day. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 11] This is a block diagram showing the configuration of a parking control device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] <First Embodiment> Configuration of the First Embodiment Figure 1 shows the configuration of a mechanical parking system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The mechanical parking system of this embodiment is a so-called "elevator-type parking system" in which multiple parking spaces are arranged three-dimensionally and parking is performed by transporting carriers to the parking spaces using a transport device.

[0012] The mechanical parking lot 1 of the first embodiment shown in the figure is provided in parallel with the living space 2 of the building, and includes an entrance / exit door 4 through which the vehicle 3 enters and exits, and a cage device 6 that places the vehicle entering and exiting from the entrance / exit door 4 on a pallet 5 and raises and lowers it. Further, the mechanical parking lot 1 includes a plurality of parking rooms 7 for storing the vehicle 3 conveyed by the cage device 6, and a hoisting machine motor 8 that hoists the cage device 6 suspended by a rope R. Furthermore, a UD (UP / DOWN) device 10 for executing the lifting and turning of the vehicle 3 entering and exiting is installed in the pit 9 of the mechanical parking lot 1.

[0013] As noise and vibration sources of the mechanical parking lot 1, there are noise and vibration when the entrance / exit door 4 is opened and closed, noise and vibration when the UD device 10 is lifted and turned, noise and vibration when the cage device 6 including the hoisting machine motor 8 is driven, noise and vibration generated from rollers for horizontally moving the pallet 5, and the like. In the parking lot control device described below, the noise and vibration from these noise and vibration sources are effectively suppressed for each time zone.

[0014] <First Embodiment> 《Configuration of the First Embodiment》 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the parking lot control device according to the first embodiment.

[0015] As shown in the figure, the parking lot control device 100 of the first embodiment includes an entrance / exit reception unit 101 and a timer unit 102. Further, the parking lot control device 100 includes an entrance / exit door opening / closing command value search unit 103, a UD device lifting command value search unit 104, a UD device turning command value search unit 105, a cage device lifting command value search unit 106, and a pallet horizontal movement command value search unit 107. Furthermore, the parking lot control device 100 includes an entrance / exit door opening / closing command value table 108, a UD device lifting command value table 109, a UD device turning command value table 110, a cage device lifting command value table 111, and a pallet horizontal movement command value table 112. Furthermore, the parking lot control device 100 includes an entrance / exit door opening / closing command unit 113, a UD device lifting command unit 114, a UD device turning command unit 115, a cage device lifting command unit 116, and a pallet horizontal movement command unit 117.

[0016] When an entry / exit instruction is input from the control panel of the mechanical parking garage 1, the entry / exit reception unit 101 outputs the entry / exit instruction and reception time information to the entrance / exit door opening / closing command value search unit 103 to the pallet traverse command value search unit 107.

[0017] When the receiving / receiving unit 101 receives a receiving / receiving instruction, the timer unit 102 outputs the reception time information to the receiving / receiving unit 101.

[0018] The entrance / exit door opening / closing command value search unit 103 searches the entrance / exit door opening / closing command value table 108 based on the entrance / exit instructions from the entry / exit reception unit 101 and the reception time information, and extracts the optimal entrance / exit door opening / closing command values ​​(entrance / exit door opening / closing speed command value and entrance / exit door opening / closing acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0019] The UD device lifting command value search unit 104 searches the UD device lifting command value table 109 based on the inbound / outbound instructions from the inbound / outbound reception unit 101 and the reception time information, and extracts the optimal UD device lifting command value (UD device lifting speed command value and UD device lifting acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0020] The UD device rotation command value search unit 105 searches the UD device rotation command value table 110 based on the inbound / outbound instructions from the inbound / outbound reception unit 101 and the reception time information, and extracts the optimal UD device rotation command value (UD device rotation speed command value and UD device rotation acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0021] The cage device lifting command value search unit 106 searches the cage device lifting command value table 111 based on the inbound / outbound instructions from the inbound / outbound reception unit 101 and the reception time information, and extracts the optimal cage device lifting command value (cage device lifting speed command value and cage device lifting acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0022] The pallet traverse command value search unit 107 searches the pallet traverse command value table 112 based on the inbound / outbound instructions from the inbound / outbound reception unit 101 and the reception time information, and extracts the optimal pallet traverse command values ​​(pallet traverse speed command value and pallet traverse acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0023] The entrance / exit door opening / closing command value table 108 stores the permissible values ​​(upper limits) of the entrance / exit door opening / closing command values ​​(entrance / exit door opening / closing speed command value and entrance / exit door opening / closing acceleration command value) for each time period.

[0024] The UD device lifting command value table 109 stores the allowable values ​​(upper limits) of the optimal UD device lifting command values ​​(UD device lifting speed command value and UD device lifting acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0025] The UD device rotation command value table 110 stores the allowable values ​​(upper limits) of the optimal UD device rotation command values ​​(UD device rotation speed command value and UD device rotation acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0026] The cage device lifting command value table 111 stores the allowable values ​​(upper limits) of the optimal cage device lifting command values ​​(cage device lifting speed command value and cage device lifting acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0027] The pallet traverse command value table 112 stores the allowable values ​​(upper limits) of the optimal pallet traverse command values ​​(pallet traverse speed command value and pallet traverse acceleration command value) according to the time of day.

[0028] The entrance / exit door opening / closing command unit 113 outputs the extracted entrance / exit door opening / closing command values ​​(entrance / exit door opening / closing speed command value and entrance / exit door opening / closing acceleration command value) to the entrance / exit door opening / closing drive unit 121.

[0029] The UD device lifting command unit 114 outputs the extracted UD device lifting command values ​​(UD device lifting speed command value and UD device lifting acceleration command value) to the UD device lifting drive unit 122.

[0030] The UD device rotation command unit 115 outputs the extracted UD device rotation command values ​​(UD device rotation speed command value and UD device rotation acceleration command value) to the UD device rotation drive unit 123.

[0031] The cage device lifting command unit 116 outputs the extracted cage device lifting command values ​​(cage device lifting speed command value and cage device lifting acceleration command value) to the cage device lifting drive unit 124.

[0032] The pallet traverse command unit 117 outputs the extracted pallet traverse command values ​​(pallet traverse speed command value and pallet traverse acceleration command value) to the pallet traverse drive unit 125.

[0033] Here, taking noise levels as an example, the speed command values ​​and acceleration command values ​​for each noise level are set in Tables 108 to 112. Specifically, if the noise level is 80 dB or less, the speed command value is 80 m / min and the acceleration command value is 2.5 m / s. 2 If the noise level is 75 dB or less, the speed command value will be 65 m / min and the acceleration command value will be 2.0 m / s 2 If the noise level is 70 dB or less, the speed command value will be 50 m / min and the acceleration command value will be 1.5 m / s². 2 This is the result.

[0034] Noise levels vary depending on the characteristics of each building. They also vary depending on the configuration of living space 2. Therefore, when setting each command value, the building structure (reinforced concrete (RC), heavy steel frame (S), etc.), wall thickness, vibration transmission, and the distance between mechanical parking 1 and living space 2 are taken into consideration. Specifically, if these characteristics are represented by variables α1, α2, α3, ... and the command value is V, then V ± α1, α2, α3, ... will be the command value corresponding to the building characteristics. This allows for setting command values ​​according to the building characteristics, enabling more precise noise and vibration control.

[0035] Processing procedure of the first embodiment Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure upon receiving goods into storage according to the first embodiment. Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure upon dispatching goods out of storage according to the first embodiment.

[0036] <Processing to set required noise level and time> First, we will explain the process of setting the required noise level and time, referring to the flowchart in Figure 3.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3, the required noise level and time are entered via the touch panel on the control panel (step S1). In some cases, speed command values ​​and acceleration command values ​​may also be set and entered during step S1.

[0038] The speed command values ​​and acceleration command values ​​for each noise level are set in tables 108 to 112. Specifically, taking the cage raising and lowering in the acceleration table as an example, between 9:00 and 21:00, the acceleration command value is set to 2.5 m / s to keep the noise level below 80 dB. 2 Set to 21:00-0:00 to keep the level below 75dB by setting the acceleration command value to 2.0m / s². 2 Set it to this value. Also, between 0:00 and 9:00, set the acceleration command value to 1.5 m / s² to keep it below 70 dB. 2 Set to (Step S2).

[0039] Taking the cage raising and lowering of the speed table as an example, between 9:00 and 21:00, the speed command is set to 80 m / min to keep the noise level below 80 dB. Between 21:00 and 0:00, the speed command is set to 65 m / min to keep the noise level below 75 dB (step S3).

[0040] Then, the numerical values ​​for speed command, acceleration command, and time in the cage device lifting command value table 111 are rewritten (step S4). The other tables 108, 109, 110, and 112 are rewritten in the same way.

[0041] <Inbound Processing> When an entry instruction is received from the touch panel of the control panel, etc., the entry / exit reception unit 101 accepts the entry. As shown in Figure 4, once the entry acceptance is complete (step S11YES), the entrance / exit door open / close command value search unit 103 searches the entrance / exit door open / close command value table 108 and extracts the entrance / exit door open / close command value corresponding to the time period. The extracted entrance / exit door open / close command value is output to the entrance / exit door open / close drive unit 121 via the entrance / exit door open / close command unit 113 (step S12). As a result, the entrance / exit door 4 is opened and closed at the desired speed and acceleration (step S13).

[0042] Vehicle 3 enters the mechanical parking garage 1 through the entrance / exit door 4 and is placed on the pallet 5 on the UD device 10 and stops. At this time, the UD device lifting command value search unit 104 searches the UD device lifting command value table 109 and extracts the UD device lifting command value corresponding to the time of day. The extracted UD device lifting command value is output to the UD device lifting drive unit 122 via the UD device lifting command unit 114 (step S14). As a result, the UD device 10 is lifted and lowered at the desired speed and acceleration (step S15). Next, the UD device turning command value search unit 105 searches the UD device turning command value table 110 and extracts the UD device turning command value corresponding to the time of day. The extracted UD device turning command value is output to the UD device turning drive unit 123 via the UD device turning command unit 115 (step S16). As a result, the UD device 10 is turned at the desired speed and acceleration (step S17).

[0043] The vehicle 3, after being turned around, is placed on the cage device 6 and transported to the destination parking space 7. At this time, the cage device lifting command value search unit 106 searches the cage device lifting command value table 111 and extracts the cage device lifting command value corresponding to the time period. The extracted cage device lifting command value is output to the cage device lifting drive unit 124 via the cage device lifting command unit 116 (step S18). As a result, the cage device 6 is raised and lowered at the desired speed and acceleration (step S19).

[0044] When the cage device 6 is transported to the target parking space 7, the pallet traverse device 11 is driven to store the vehicle 3 in the target parking space 7. At this time, the pallet traverse command value search unit 107 searches the pallet traverse command value table 112 and extracts the pallet traverse command value corresponding to the time period. The extracted pallet traverse command value is output to the pallet traverse drive unit 125 via the pallet traverse command unit 117 (step S18). As a result, the pallet traverse device 11 traverses the pallet 5 at the desired speed and acceleration (step S21).

[0045] When vehicle 3 is stored in the desired parking space (step S22 YES), the parking process is completed.

[0046] <Outbound processing> The outbound process shown in Figure 5 is the reverse operation of the inbound process shown in Figure 4.

[0047] When a dispatch instruction is received from the touch panel on the control panel, the dispatch is received at the inbound / outbound reception unit 101. As shown in Figure 5, once the dispatch reception is complete (step S31YES), a process is executed to search for and output the pallet traverse command value (step S32), and the pallet 5 is traversed at the desired speed and acceleration, and the vehicle 3 is stored inside the cage device 6 (step S33).

[0048] Next, a process is executed to search for and output the cage device lifting / lowering command value, and the cage device is lifted and lowered at the desired speed and acceleration, transporting the vehicle 3 on the pallet 5 to the entrance / exit floor (steps S34, S35).

[0049] The vehicle 3 on pallet 5, transported to the entrance / exit floor, is placed on UD device 10, rotated at a desired speed and acceleration, and lowered at a desired speed and acceleration to face the entrance / exit door 4 (steps S36-S39). Then, the entrance / exit door 4 is opened at a desired speed and acceleration, and the retrieval process is completed (steps S40-S42).

[0050] Thus, according to the first embodiment, even in an elevator-type mechanical parking garage 1 that is installed alongside the living space 2 of a building, it becomes possible to appropriately reduce noise and vibration depending on the time of day.

[0051] <Second Embodiment> Figure 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the parking control device according to the second embodiment.

[0052] As shown in the figure, the parking control device 200 of the second embodiment includes, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, an entrance / exit door opening / closing command value update unit 201, a UD device lifting / lowering command value update unit 202, a UD device turning command value update unit 203, a cage device lifting / lowering command value update unit 204, and a pallet traverse command value update unit 205.

[0053] Furthermore, the system includes a sensor 131 for measuring noise (vibration) from the entrance / exit door opening / closing drive unit 121, a sensor 132 for measuring noise (vibration) from the UD device lifting / lowering drive unit 122, and a sensor 133 for measuring noise (vibration) from the UD device swivel drive unit 123. It also includes a sensor 134 for measuring noise (vibration) from the cage device lifting / lowering drive unit 124 and a sensor 135 for measuring noise (vibration) from the pallet traverse drive unit 125. The sensor value from sensor 131 (hereinafter referred to as the measured value) is output to the entrance / exit door opening / closing command value update unit 201. The measured value from sensor 132 is output to the UD device lifting / lowering command value update unit 202. The measured value from sensor 133 is output to the UD device swivel command value update unit 203. The measured value from sensor 134 is output to the cage device lifting / lowering command value update unit 204. The measured value from sensor 135 is output to the pallet traverse command value update unit 205.

[0054] The entrance / exit door open / close command value update unit 201 compares the measured value from the sensor 131 with the set value in the entrance / exit door open / close command value table 108 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the number of times the measured value exceeds the set value is n, for example 5 times or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If the number of times does not exceed n, a warning is issued.

[0055] The UD device lifting command value update unit 202 compares the measured value from the sensor 132 with the set value in the UD device lifting command value table 109 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the measured value exceeds the set value n times, for example 5 times or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If it does not exceed n times, a warning is issued.

[0056] The UD device rotation command value update unit 203 compares the measured value from the sensor 133 with the set value in the UD device rotation command value table 110 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the measured value exceeds the set value n times, for example 5 times or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If it does not exceed n times, a warning is issued.

[0057] The cage device lifting / lowering command value update unit 204 compares the measured value from the sensor 134 with the set value in the cage device lifting / lowering command value table 111 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the measured value exceeds the set value n times, for example 5 times or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If it does not exceed n times, a warning is issued.

[0058] The pallet traverse command value update unit 205 compares the measured value from the sensor 135 with the set value in the cage device lifting command value table 111 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the number of times the measured value exceeds the set value is n, for example, 5 or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If the number of times does not exceed n, a warning is issued.

[0059] Processing procedure of the second embodiment Figure 7 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure when updating a table according to the second embodiment. Note that the following processing is performed in the same procedure in each update unit 201 to 205.

[0060] Each update unit 201-205 inputs the measured values ​​from each sensor 131-135 and determines whether they exceed a set value (step S51). If the set value is exceeded, it is determined whether the number of times it has exceeded the set value is n (for example, 5 times) or more (step S52). If the number of times the measured value exceeds the set value is n or less, a warning is issued (step S53). If the number of times the measured value exceeds the set value is n or more, the table is updated and new command values ​​are set. For example, to make the noise level 70 dB or less, the speed command value is set to 50 m / min and the acceleration command value to 1.5 m / s 2 Let's assume the system is operated in this manner. In this case, the sensor readings exceed 70 dB, and this occurs five or more times. In this case, the settings in the table need to be reviewed, and new speed command values ​​and acceleration command values ​​should be set so that the noise level is 70 dB or less.

[0061] Thus, according to the second embodiment, the settings (command values) in the table are configured to be reviewed based on the measured values. Therefore, even if noise and vibration increase due to aging or deterioration of the parking equipment, it becomes possible to appropriately reduce noise and vibration depending on the time of day.

[0062] <Third Embodiment> Figure 8 shows the configuration of a mechanical parking system to which the third embodiment of the present invention is applied.

[0063] The mechanical parking system 50 of the third embodiment shown in the figure is a "vertical circulation type" parking system (tower parking) adjacent to the living space 60 of the building. A "vertical circulation type" parking system arranges multiple carriers (cage devices) in a vertical plane and performs parking by making them move in a circulating motion.

[0064] This mechanical parking system 50 is equipped with an entrance / exit door 51 through which vehicles 3 enter and exit, and a cage device 53 that vertically circulates vehicles 52 entering and exiting through the entrance / exit door 51 within the parking system. The mechanical parking system 50 is also equipped with a UD device 10 that lifts, lowers, and rotates the vehicles 52 as they enter and exit. The vehicles 52 are housed in the cage device 53, which circulates vertically by rotating a drive sprocket 55 via a drive device 54.

[0065] Figure 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the parking control device 300 according to the third embodiment.

[0066] As shown in the figure, the parking control device 300 of the third embodiment includes a cage device circulation command value search unit 301, a cage device circulation command unit 302, a cage device circulation command value table 303, and a cage device circulation drive unit 141. The cage device circulation drive unit 141 consists of a drive unit 54 and a drive sprocket 55 as shown in Figure 8.

[0067] Furthermore, the mechanical parking system 50 is a "vertical circulation type" parking system, and compared to the first embodiment, it does not have a pallet traverse device 11 and a pallet traverse drive unit 125 that drives it. For this reason, the parking control device 300 does not have a pallet traverse command value search unit 107, a pallet traverse command value table 112, or a pallet traverse command unit 117. The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment shown in Figure 2, so their explanation will be omitted.

[0068] <Inbound Processing> When an entry instruction is received from the touch panel of the control panel, etc., the entry / exit reception unit 101 accepts the entry. As shown in Figure 10, once the entry acceptance is complete (step S61YES), the entrance / exit door open / close command value search unit 103 searches the entrance / exit door open / close command value table 108 and extracts the entrance / exit door open / close command value corresponding to the time period. The extracted entrance / exit door open / close command value is output to the entrance / exit door open / close drive unit 121 via the entrance / exit door open / close command unit 113 (step S62). As a result, the entrance / exit door 51 is opened and closed at the desired speed and acceleration (step S63).

[0069] Vehicle 52 enters the mechanical parking garage 1 through the entrance / exit door 51 and is placed on the UD device 10 and stops. At this time, the UD device lifting command value search unit 104 searches the UD device lifting command value table 109 and extracts the UD device lifting command value corresponding to the time of day. The extracted UD device lifting command value is output to the UD device lifting drive unit 122 via the UD device lifting command unit 114 (step S64). As a result, the UD device 10 is lifted and lowered at the desired speed and acceleration (step S65). Next, the UD device turning command value search unit 105 searches the UD device turning command value table 110 and extracts the UD device turning command value corresponding to the time of day. The extracted UD device turning command value is output to the UD device turning drive unit 123 via the UD device turning command unit 115 (step S66). As a result, the UD device 10 is turned at the desired speed and acceleration (step S67).

[0070] The vehicle 52, which has been turned around, is placed on the cage device 53 and transported. At this time, the cage device circulation lifting command value search unit 301 searches the cage device circulation command value table 303 and extracts the cage device circulation command value corresponding to the time period. The extracted cage device circulation command value is output to the cage device circulation drive unit 141 via the cage device circulation command unit 302 (step S68). As a result, the cage device 53 is vertically circulated to the target storage position at the desired speed and acceleration (step S69).

[0071] When the cage device 53 stops at the desired storage position, the storage process is completed (step S70 YES).

[0072] Since the outbound process is the reverse of the inbound process, its explanation will be omitted.

[0073] Thus, according to the third embodiment, even in a vertically circulating mechanical parking garage 50 that is installed alongside the living space 60 of a building, it becomes possible to appropriately reduce noise and vibration depending on the time of day.

[0074] <Fourth Embodiment> Figure 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the parking control device 400 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0075] As shown in the figure, the parking control device 400 of the fourth embodiment includes, in addition to the configuration of the third embodiment, an entrance / exit door opening / closing command value update unit 201, a UD device lifting / lowering command value update unit 202, a UD device rotation command value update unit 203, a cage device lifting / lowering command value update unit 204, and a cage device circulation command value update unit 304. The other configurations are the same as those of the parking control device 300 shown in Figure 3.

[0076] The cage device circulation command value update unit 304 compares the measured value from the sensor 134 with the set value in the cage device circulation command value table 303 to determine whether or not to update the table. If the measured value exceeds the set value n times, for example 5 times or more, the unit executes a process to update the set value in the table. If it does not exceed n times, a warning is issued.

[0077] Thus, according to the fourth embodiment, the settings (command values) in the table are configured to be reviewed based on the measured values. Therefore, even if noise and vibration increase due to aging or deterioration of the parking equipment, it becomes possible to appropriately reduce noise and vibration depending on the time of day.

[0078] <Other Embodiments> In the first and second embodiments described above, command value tables 108 to 112 were provided for each noise and vibration source, and the noise and vibration were controlled individually for each noise and vibration source. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, noise and vibration values ​​could be measured at one or two predetermined locations in a mechanical parking garage, and based on these measured values, speed command values ​​and acceleration command values ​​could be determined to create a single command value table corresponding to the noise and vibration values. Then, the entire mechanical parking garage could be controlled using this single command value table so that the noise and vibration values ​​remain within acceptable limits.

[0079] <Mechanical parking garage to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied> This system can be applied to various parking facilities, including the so-called "horizontal circulation type" parking lot, where multiple carriers are arranged on a flat surface and parked by circulating motion; the "multi-layer circulation type" parking lot, where multiple carriers are arranged in layers and parked by circulating motion between the upper and lower layers; and the "fork type" parking lot, where vehicles are brought into the parking spaces in a comb-like (fork-type) manner.

[0080] Although the present invention has been described in detail using various embodiments above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The scope of the present invention is determined by the claims and the scope equivalent to the claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
