(Summary of this embodiment)
 As described above, in the present embodiment, the service management apparatus 1 is a vehicle device mounted on a forklift truck F1 (handling machine). In the service management apparatus 1 (forklift F1), as shown in FIG. 14, the analysis unit 104 based on the sensing information acquired from the space recognition sensor (space recognition apparatus), inserting fork F101, F102 and (Sakomitsume) Container detecting the 20 (insertion target). Control unit 105, based on the sensing information, the opening of the fork pockets 201 and 202 determines whether or not misaligned relationship (plug portion) and the fork F101, F102, performs shift determination.
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1, the fork F101, F102 fork pockets 201 and 202, it is possible to reliably insert can be properly transported haul target. For example, a forklift F1 can prevent the fork pockets 201 and 202 from being damaged or destroyed. Further, the forklift F1 is appropriately container 20 (good balance, be stabilized by) can be gripped to be transported can be prevented from dropping the container 20.
 Further, for example, service management apparatus 1 may be a container 20 the mark is not attached, the fork F101, F102 fork pockets 201 and 202, it is possible to reliably insert can be properly transported haul target. However, work management device 1, may be used in combination with the mark, it may be holding the container 20 in which the mark is attached.
[0065]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), and based on the sensing information and faces the insertion face 211 having an opening portion of the fork pockets 201 and 202 determination after (also referred to as "confronting decision"), and deviation determination, also (also referred to as "deviation judgment, etc.") warning based on the outskirts judgment may be performed. For example, the control unit 105 performs at least one shift after a positive-to-decision determination or the like, before the determination of at least one positive pairs may not perform the deviation determination and the like. 
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1, the forklift F1 and container 20 (Sakomimen 211) directly facing, in terms of made to face in the correct orientation, it can be determined whether the fork is offset.
That is, the forklift F1 is deviated not straight, it is possible to insert the fork F101, F102 fork pockets 201, 202.
[0066]
 Hereinafter, the service management apparatus 1, by using the sensing information, to describe an example of a case where the confronting determination. However, the present invention is not limited to this, the working management device 1, other positively pair determination (e.g., the facing determination based on confronting determination and captured images using RFID) may be performed.
[0067]

 Fig. 15A and 15B are schematic views showing an example of a positive-to-determination according to the present embodiment.
 Figure 15A is a diagram showing a case where the forklift F1 is directly facing the container 20. Figure 15A is a diagram of the sensing information, and projected into the XY plane in FIG.
 Figure 15B is a diagram showing a case where the forklift F1 is not directly facing the container 20. 15B is a diagram of the sensing information, and projected into the XY plane in FIG.
 In Figure 15A and B, a solid line represents a laser beam. Further, in FIGS. 15A and B, for convenience, the container 20, describes fork F101, F102, and the projection of service management apparatus 1 by a broken line.
[0068]
 In Figure 15A, the service management apparatus 1, the deflection angle theta is - [theta] P1 ≦ theta ≦ theta P1 + m in the range, and detects the plane 211.
 In Figure 15B, the service management apparatus 1, the deflection angle theta is - [theta] P2 ≦ theta ≦ theta P2 + n in the range, and detects the plane 211. Incidentally, theta i i a represents the one horizontal scanning order of the laser irradiation, that is, the number of times of irradiation. For example, theta i = - [theta] max is a + i × Δθ.
[0069]
 Work management device 1 determines that the plane 211 of detection, when detecting the fork pockets 201 and 202, the plane 211 is a plug surface of the container 20 (Sakomimen 211).
 Service management apparatus 1, determining confronting determine whether the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20) is performed based on the sensing information. For example, service management apparatus 1, by Sakomimen 211 to determine whether parallel to the reference plane B1 (whether or not tilted), the confronting determination. Here, the reference plane B1, a plane parallel to the XZ plane, when the forklift F1 advances straight, a plane perpendicular to the traveling direction. For example, the reference plane B1, of such a surface is a plane including the service management apparatus 1 (projection opening).
[0070]
 Specific examples of the facing determination, service management apparatus 1, the distance R from the work management apparatus 1 to the object (reflective original) i based on the distance L from the reference plane B1 of the forklift F1 to insertion surface 211 i ( "reference distance L I also referred to) is calculated with". Here, the distance R i is a distance R detected by the i-th irradiation, represents the distance R from the work management apparatus 1 to the object (reflection source).
 For example, service management apparatus 1, the irradiation direction theta i cases, phi, the distance R to the object i if it detects a reference distance L i = R i cos | phi | × cos | theta i | is calculated as. Here, phi represents the deflection angle phi when performing i-th irradiation of the.
[0071]
 Service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, the reference distance L i and the reference distance L j difference ΔL of (i ≠ j) i, j = | L i -L j | on the basis, performs the facing determination. As an example, the service management apparatus 1, the reference distance adjacent L i and the reference distance L i + 1 difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i | based on, performs the facing determination.
 In this case, the service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, a difference [Delta] L i + 1, i when all is within the threshold value T1, determines that the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20).
 On the other hand, the service management apparatus 1, in Sakomimen 211, a difference [Delta] L i + 1, i when at least one threshold value T1 greater than the forklift F1 is not directly facing the insertion side 211 (container 20) and determination to.
[0072]
 (If you are completely directly opposite) in FIG. 15A, in the range of ≦ i ≦ P1 P1 + m, L i is the same value. In this case, for example in the range of P1 ≦ i ≦ P1 + m- 1, the difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i a = 0 ≦ T1 |. In this case, the service management apparatus 1 determines that the forklift F1 is directly opposite to the insertion face 211 (container 20).
[0073]
 In FIG. 15B, in the range of ≦ i ≦ P2 P2 + n, L i are different values, for example, L i is a monotone increasing function of i. In this case, for example in the range of P1 ≦ i ≦ P1 + m- 1, the difference [Delta] L i + 1, i = | L i + 1 -L i a> T1 |. In this case, the service management apparatus 1 determines that the forklift F1 is not directly facing the insertion side 211 (container 20).
[0074]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) is fork F101, F102 timing is located in the opening or its vicinity of the fork pockets 201 and 202 t ( "insertion timing t based on "and also referred to) may be performed deviation determination and the like. For example, the control unit 105, before a predetermined time t1 than the insertion time t, performs shift determination, and the like.
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1 until when the need for a warning is low, can be prevented to output the warning. Incidentally, the insertion timing t is also a timing fork F101, F102 begins to be inserted into the container 20. The insertion timing t from the time of calculation, represent the time until the fork F101, F102 are located in the opening of the fork pockets 201, 202.
[0075]
 Specifically, the control unit 105, the distance d of the opening of tip and fork pockets 201, 202 of the fork F101, F102 (or Sakomimen 211) c based on the vehicle speed of the vehicle information, insertion timing t to predict the (also referred to as a "insertion timing prediction"). Control unit 105, than the insertion time t, before a predetermined time t1, performs shift determination, and the like. If aspect, the control unit 105, than the insertion time t, Until before a predetermined time t1, not performed deviation determination and the like.
[0076]
 16A and B are schematic diagrams showing an example of an insertion timing prediction according to a modification of the present embodiment.
 16A and B are diagrams sensing information and projected onto the XY plane. In Figure 16A and B, the distance d C1 , d C2 , the distance d of the opening of tip and fork pockets 201, 202 of the fork F101, F102 (or Sakomimen 211) c is a specific example of length f1 is the length of the fork F101, F102 (length in the Y-axis direction).
 Figure 16B than in FIG. 16A, a diagram of the case where the forklift F1 is close to the container 20. When the vehicle speed is the same, in the case of FIG. 16B, than in the case of FIG. 16A, a short insertion timing t (time required to insert the start).
[0077]
 Control unit 105, for example, from the distance between the Sakomimen 211 and the reference surface B1, by subtracting the length f1, the distance d c is calculated. The control unit 105, as the distance between Sakomimen 211 and the reference surface B1, the normal direction of the irradiation direction reference plane B1, i.e., theta = 0, the reference distance L was measured in the case of phi = 0 i a , the distance D C may be. The control unit 105 may be detected length f1, it may be stored in advance.
 Control unit 105, the calculated distance d c a is divided by the vehicle speed, to calculate the insertion timing t. Control unit 105, the calculated insertion timing t is performed off determination or the like if it is within the time t1 for storing in advance, does not perform the off determination or the like is greater than the time t1.
[0078]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), based on the relative positional relationship of the opening of the fork F101, F102 and fork pockets 201 and 202, shift determination, etc. it may be carried out.
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1 until when the need for a warning is low, can be prevented to output the warning.
[0079]
 Specifically, the control unit 105, the position of the tip of the fork F101, F102, on the basis of the position of the opening of the fork pockets 201 and 202 (or Sakomimen 211), performs the deviation determination and the like. For example, the control unit 105, a distance d c when reaches a predetermined distance d11 (eg 1m) Hereinafter, the deviation determination and the like. In other words, the control unit 105, the distance d c is greater than the predetermined distance d11 (distant) if not perform the deviation determination and the like.
[0080]
 Control unit 105, for example, from the middle point between the tip of the tip and fork F102 fork F101, the distance d to the Sakomimen 211 c is used (see 16A and 16B), but the present invention is not limited thereto. Control unit 105, a distance d c as, to the either the distal end of the tip or fork F102 fork F101 may be used the distance to the insertion face 211, adds the distance f11 determined in advance to the tip of the fork F101 or it may be used subtracted value. Further, the distance to Sakomimen 211 is not limited to the normal direction of Sakomimen 211, the normal direction of the reference plane B1, that is, there in a direction extending in the axial direction of the traveling direction or the fork F101, F102 forklift and it may be. Further, the distance to Sakomimen 211 may be a distance to the center line of Sakomimen 211 (symmetry axis Lc in FIG. 10). In this case, Sakomimen 211, the reference distance L i may be calculated centerline by detecting the edges of the insertion face 211 based on, by detecting the edge of the plug face 211 by edge detection or the like the center line may be calculated.
[0081]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), based on the insertion timing t, may be changed warning based on the deviation determined.
 For example, the control unit 105, when determining that the fork is shifted, when the insertion timing t is larger than t2, as compared with a case insertion timing t is t2 or less, less noticeable warning (small output, for example, a small sound or dark light, a warning in time flashing and the small number sound, light, or the like flashing wide sound and light-spaced). On the other hand, the control unit 105, when determining that the fork is shifted, when the insertion timing t is t2 or less, compared insertion timing t is a larger than t2, more prominent warning (large output, for example, , loud noise and bright light, flashing time and a large number of times a sound or light, a warning in a narrow sound or light flashing, etc.) spaced.
[0082]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), based on the relative positional relationship of the opening of the fork F101, F102 and fork pockets 201 and 202, the deviation determination warning may be changed based.
 For example, the control unit 105, when determining that the fork is offset a distance d c when is larger than a predetermined distance d12 (far), the distance d c is the distance d12 smaller (closer) as compared to the case performs warning less noticeable (smaller output, for example, a small sound or dark light, flashing time and the small number sound or light, wide sound or flashing light, etc. spaced) alerts.
 On the other hand, the control unit 105, when determining that the fork is shifted, the distance d c is the predetermined distance d12 below (close) when the distance d c is greater than the predetermined distance d12 (distant) if the in comparison, it performed more prominent warning (large output, for example, loud noise and bright light, flashing time and a large number of times a sound or light, narrow sound, light blinking of the interval) alerts.
[0083]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) may be set condition is not performed or to perform deviation determination.
 Control unit 105, when the first condition below is satisfied, a warning based on the deviation determination, if not satisfied first condition may not be performed a warning based on the deviation determination. The control unit 105, when the first condition is satisfied, performs shift determination or sensing, if the first condition is not satisfied, may not perform a shift determination or sensing.
 The control unit 105, based on the first condition, warnings and based on the deviation determined, the deviation determination or sensing (hereinafter, referred to as a warning, etc.) interval may be changed for.
[0084]
 The first condition is, for example, as described above, with the proviso that less than the distance of the container 20 and the forklift F1 threshold (in proximity).
 The first condition may be, for example, a condition based on the position information and the vehicle information. For example, the control unit 105 causes the warehouses, when containing forklift F1 is in a predetermined position (range), a warning or the like, may not be performed a warning or the like in the other position.
 For example, the control unit 105, gears a warning or the like in the case of forward, the other may not be performed a warning or the like.
[0085]
 For example, the control unit 105, such as a warning when the vehicle speed is lower than the threshold, otherwise it is not necessary to perform a warning or the like. Conversely, the control unit 105, such as a warning when the vehicle speed is higher than the threshold, otherwise it is not necessary to perform a warning or the like.
 For example, the control unit 105, a warning or the like when the steering angle is smaller than the threshold value, otherwise may not perform a warning or the like.
[0086]
 The first condition may be, for example, a condition based on the fork information and work information.
 For example, the control unit 105, if there is no transport subject in grasping, a warning or the like, when the grip to transport the target and there may not be performed a warning or the like. Control unit 105, if the position of the fork F101, F102 (height) is less than the threshold value, a warning or the like, when the position of the fork F101, F102 (height) is higher than the threshold value, may not be performed a warning or the like .
 For example, the control unit 105, if a particular operator is operating, a warning or the like, otherwise, may not be performed a warning or the like.
[0087]
 The first condition is, for example, may be a condition that when the fork F101, F102 are inserted.
 For example, the control unit 105, when the fork F101, F102 is inserted, a warning or the like, when the fork F101, F102 is drawn may not perform a warning or the like. The control unit 105, gears a warning or the like when the forward gear may not perform a warning or the like in the case of the reverse.
[0088]
 Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, if the service management apparatus 1 is fixed to the central portion of the X-axis direction of the forklift F1, when the forklift F1 is to properly grip the container 20, the fork F101 and fork F102 the central portion of, or, in the central portion of the fork pockets 201 and fork pockets 202, it is possible to position the work management device 1.
 Also, if the service management apparatus 1 is fixed to the fork rail F11 and backrest F13, work management device 1, as compared with when it is fixed to the fork rail F12, easily recognized more forks F101, F102 . That is, since the service management apparatus 1 and the fork F101, F102 away in the height direction (X axis direction), the service management apparatus 1, shape, more recognition forks F101, F102 length direction (Y-axis direction) it (see FIG. 3, FIG. 5).
 Also, if the service management apparatus 1 is fixed to the fork rail F11 and F12, work management device 1, as compared with when it is fixed to the backrest F13, easily recognized more fork pockets 201, 202. That is, since the service management apparatus 1 and the fork pockets 201, 202 approaches the height direction, the service management apparatus 1, the irradiation angle of the laser beam or the like to the fork pockets 201, 202 (the angle in the height direction), more horizontal It can be close to the (perpendicular to the insertion plane).
[0089]
 Note that the confronting determination, fork F101 and fork F102 is, may be to determine whether the normal to the container 20 or Sakomimen 211.
 Moreover, spatial recognition sensor may perform spatial recognition using non laser light. For example, service management apparatus 1 may be performed spatial recognition using radio waves other than the laser beam, for example, may be performed space recognition using the captured image. For example, the space recognition sensor, a monocular camera, stereo camera, infrared camera, a millimeter wave radar, optical laser, LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging, Laser Imaging Detection And Ranging), may be (ultrasonic) wave sensor or the like.
 Also, work management apparatus 1, when the fork pockets 201 and 202 with each other is not located horizontally, that is, if the offset in the vertical direction, may output a warning or the like.
[0090]
 Also, work management apparatus 1 may be connected to the automatic operation device may be part of the automatic operation device. In other words, work management apparatus 1 performs shift determination may be automatically operated forklift F1 so fork does not deviate. For example, service management apparatus 1, a result of the displacement determination, if the image is shifted "height direction", raises and lowers the fork F101 and fork F102, raise or lower the height. For example, service management apparatus 1, a result of the displacement determination, if the image is shifted "laterally" is the steering angle, gear, accelerator, by adjusting the brake, adjustment so that the position of the forklift F1 is shifted laterally to.
 Also, work management apparatus 1, the road surface G and walls, an object located far from the predetermined distance, may be excluded from the detection target (sensing information). Service management apparatus 1, when the projection to each side, excluding them from the projected object.
