Claims (5)

  1. A parking management system equipped with a plurality of pallets(40) that can be moved in a parking space with a vehicle mounted on them, a plurality of charging and discharging devices (33) that are installed in chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces (32) and capable of supplying power to a predetermined facility(10), a controller(60) that is programmed to control the movement of the pallets (40) and control the charging and discharging devices (33) ; the controller(60) is programmed to move a feedable pallet(40),among said plurality of pallets (40), carrying an electric vehicle(120) capable of supplying power to the predetermined facility(10), to the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces(32), and the parking management system is characterized in that it further comprises a plurality of charging devices (35) installed in chargeable parking spaces (34) that can only be used for charging, and in that the controller (60) is programmed to move the feedable pallet to the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces (32) when the feedable pallet is in a general parking space(36) where neither charging nor feeding is allowed or in the chargeable parking spaces (34) .
  2. The parking management system according to claim 1, wherein the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces(32) comprise a first parking space(32a) with a short feed line to the predetermined facility(10) and a second parking space(32b) with a longer feed line to the predetermined facility(10) compared to the first parking space(32a), the controller(60) is programmed to preferentially move the feedable pallet to the first parking space(32a).
  3. The parking management system according to claim 2, wherein the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces(32) are located in a part of a multi-story multi-level parking space or in a portion of a flat parking space arranged in a flat area.
  4. The parking management system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces(32) are located at a short distance to the predetermined facility(10).
  5. The parking management system according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the controller(60) is programmed to preferentially move a conditioned pallet, among said plurality of pallets (40), carrying an electric vehicle(120) with an on-board battery in a condition to feed power to the predetermined facility(10), to the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces (32) .

Description

Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a parking management system, more particularly, to a parking management system that manages the movement of a plurality of movable pallets carrying vehicles into parking spaces. Background A parking management system of this type has been proposed, which is equipped with a stationary storage battery installed in a parking lot and a plurality of charging and discharging stands for charging and discharging a battery mounted on an electric vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1) . In this system, power is supplied to the first load from at least one of the stationary storage batteries and the multiple charging and discharging stands, even when the power system is in an emergency. As a result, even when the power system is in an emergency, the prescribed power can be supplied to the first load. Other similar parking management systems have been disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 4. Citation List Patent Literature Patent Document 1: JP2020-010442Patent Document 2: US 2021/380011 A1Patent Document 3: WO 2018/167796 A1Patent Document 4: JP 2013 042634 A Summary In the parking lot where power from a battery installed in the electric vehicle can be supplied to predetermined facilities (for example, airports or shopping malls), it is difficult to install all parking spaces as chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces in with charging and discharging devices for the battery installed in the electric vehicle. In addition, electric vehicles parked in parking spaces where charging and discharging devices are not installed cannot supply power to the predetermined facility. Therefore, it is an important issue for electric vehicles that are chargeable and dischargeable to a predetermined facility to be parked in parking spaces where charging and discharging devices are installed. The main objective of the parking management system of the present disclosure is to allow more electric vehicles that are chargeable and dischargeable to the predetermined facility to park in the parking space where charging and discharging devices is installed. The parking management system of the present disclosure has adopted the following measures to achieve the main objectives described above. The parking management system of the present disclosure equipped with a plurality of pallets that can be moved in a parking space with a vehicle mounted on them, a plurality of charging and discharging devices that are installed in chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces and capable of supplying power to a predetermined facility, a controller that controls the movement of the pallets and controls the charging and discharging devices; the controller is programmed to move a pallet (a feedable pallet) carrying the electric vehicle capable of supplying power to the predetermined facility to the chargeable and dischargeable parking space. The parking management system of the present disclosure equipped with a plurality of pallets that can be moved in a parking space with a vehicle mounted on them, a plurality of charging and discharging devices that are installed in chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces and capable of supplying power to a predetermined facility, a controller that controls the movement of the pallets and controls the charging and discharging devices. the controller is programmed to move a pallet (a feedable pallet) carrying an electric vehicle capable of supplying power to the predetermined facility to the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces. By moving the feedable pallet to the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces, the electric vehicle that can feed the predetermined facility can be parked in a chargeable and dischargeable parking space. As a result, it is possible to have more electric vehicles that can feed the predetermined facility parked in parking spaces where charging and discharging devices are installed. In the parking management system of the present disclosure, the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces may comprise a first parking space with a short feed line to the predetermined facility and a second parking space with a longer feed line to the predetermined facility compared to the first parking space, the controller may be programmed to preferentially move the feedable pallet to the first parking space. By moving more feedable pallets to first parking spaces with shorter feed lines, it is possible to reduce the power loss when feeding power to the predetermined facility. In the parking management system in this case, the chargeable and dischargeable parking spaces may be located in a part of a multi-story multi-level parking space or in a portion of a flat parking space arranged in a flat area. In the parking management system of the present disclosure, the parking management system may be equipped with a plurality of charging devices installed in chargeable parking spaces that can only be used for charging, the controller may be programmed
