Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a parking lot management device suitable for use in hotels and inns.

[Conventional technology]

When using a parking lot attached to a hotel or a ryokan (hereinafter simply referred to as a hotel, etc.), especially when using a parking lot that automatically manages the entry / exit of vehicles using an entry control machine and an exit control machine, Passengers had to bring the parking ticket received at the time of entry to the front desk and receive proof to make it free.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, if a guest staying at a hotel or the like for a long time uses the above parking lot, they will receive a parking ticket at the entrance every time they enter the garage, and bring this parking ticket to the front desk for free proof. It was very cumbersome and inconvenient because he had to receive it, and he had forgotten to get his certificate.

In addition, it was conceived to improve the above inconvenience and complication by giving a long-term visitor a pass cart that allows free use of the parking lot, but the pass card given to the customer can not be collected in many cases. As a result, there is a problem that the running cost is increased or the pass card is illegally used, so that the hotel or the like cannot easily use the pass card.

Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is that a long-term visitor can very easily use a parking lot attached to a hotel or the like free of charge, and
An object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot management device for hotels and the like that can prevent useless use and unauthorized use of parking tickets.

[Means for solving the problem]

Means taken by the present invention to solve the above technical problem are as follows.

When a parking ticket that records the time of entry is removed from the ticketing machine installed at the entrance of the parking lot, the entrance gate opens to allow entry of vehicles, while the above parking ticket is installed at the fare settlement machine installed at the exit. When the parking fee is calculated and the parking fee is paid, the exit gate is opened and a parking lot for a hotel or the like, which allows the vehicle to be taken out. A recording device capable of setting a predetermined time limit in light of the number of days of stay of the user and recording the set time limit on the parking ticket.

(2) At the entrance of the parking lot, there is provided an entrance gate control means for immediately opening the entrance gate without issuing the parking ticket by the ticket issuing machine when the parking ticket within the time limit is inserted. Install a reader.

(3) Exit gate control means for opening the exit gate immediately after the parking ticket within the time limit is inserted into the fare settlement machine at the exit, and return means for returning the inserted parking ticket. Be provided.

(4) When the expired parking ticket is inserted into the reader installed at the entrance of the parking lot, the expired waste ticket means for invalidating the parking ticket and disposing of the ticket is provided. A ticket issuing instruction means for issuing a new parking ticket is provided, and the fee adjusting machine installed at the exit is provided with a time limit from the expiration date and time to the current time when the inserted parking ticket has expired. Calculating the parking fee of the vehicle, and providing an overdue parking fee settlement means for opening the exit gate when the parking fee is paid.

However, here, the recording machine installed at the front of a hotel or the like is a magnetic writing machine that magnetically writes a time limit input and set by a key operation on a parking ticket, or
It refers to either a punch or a printer capable of writing with a barcode or OCR readable characters.

[Action]

 The above means works as follows.

The element described in the above (1) is to record the time limit based on the number of days of stay using a recording machine for a parking ticket brought by a user such as a hotel or the like who parked a vehicle in a parking lot at the front desk. It is possible to change a regular parking ticket into a pass card that can use the parking lot free of charge until the date.

The factor described in the above (2) is as follows. When a passenger inserts the above-mentioned limited-term parking ticket into the reader upon entering the vehicle into the parking lot, the normal issuing of the parking ticket is not performed.
The entrance gate opens immediately, allowing the vehicle to enter the store immediately.

The factor described in (3) above is that when the vehicle is taken out of the car, if the time-limited parking ticket is inserted into the fare adjustment machine at the exit, if the time limit is not met, the exit gate will be set immediately without collecting the fare. Since the vehicle can be opened and the vehicle can be taken out, the parking lot can be used free of charge for a hotel or the like, and the inserted parking ticket can be returned for continued use.

The factor described in the above (4) is that when a customer inserts an expired parking ticket into the reader at the entrance, it is invalidated and discarded and a new parking ticket is issued, If you cannot enter the parking lot with the expired parking ticket, and if you insert the expired parking ticket into the fare adjustment machine at the exit, the parking fee from the end date and time to the current time will be calculated, and this Unless a fee is paid, the vehicle cannot be taken out of the vehicle, so that it is possible to prevent the illegal use of the expired parking ticket.

As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the above means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
