More specifically, the service management apparatus 1, after the positive direction of the horizontal scanning of the deflection angle theta, only equiangular Δφ in the positive direction of the deflection angle phi, shifting the irradiation direction of the laser beam. Thereafter, the service management apparatus 1, after the negative direction of the horizontal scanning of the deflection angle theta, only equiangular Δφ in the positive direction of the deflection angle phi, further shifting the irradiation direction of the laser beam.
 Work management device 1 repeats this operation, in the positive direction of the deflection angle phi, irradiating the specified range (range -φ ≦ φ ≦ 0). Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, after shifting the irradiation only certain ranges (phi = 0), may be reversed in the negative direction of the deflection angle phi.
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, in a different order and another coordinate system, may be irradiated with laser light.

Service management apparatus 1 determines that in this plane, when detecting the fork pockets 201 and 202, an insertion face 211 of the flat container 20.
 Here, the service management apparatus 1, for example, detected at the bottom of the detected plane or planes, part does not detect the reflected light of the laser beam, the reception level is low portion of the reflected light of the laser beam, as the fork pockets 201 and 202 to.
[0033]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, in the lower part of the detected plane or planes, is changed (in the distance) distance greater than a predetermined value with respect to the distance to the plane portion, may be detected as the fork pockets 201 and 202 .
 Also, work management device 1 uses the sensing information and pocket location information, from the detected plane, may be detected fork pockets 201, 202.

In other words, work management apparatus 1, in a position the fork pockets 201 and 202 are present on the basis of the pocket position information, for example, when the reception level is low portion of the reflected light of the laser beam occurs more than a predetermined ratio, pocket position it may be determined that fork pockets 201 and 202 based on the information exists.
[0034]
 Service management apparatus 1, the second detection processing to detect the fork F101, F102.
In one example of the second detection processing, for example, the work management unit 1, of the surfaces of the parallel or substantially parallel to the XY plane, Y-axis direction to a specific length or more, extending a plan, specific to the X-axis direction a small portion than the width, is detected as a fork F101, F102. Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, fork F101, stored in advance patterns of position and shape of the F102, may detect an object that matches the pattern as a fork F101, F102.
 Also, work management apparatus 1, the length of the detected fork F101, F102 (also referred to as "fork length") is calculated f1. The fork length f1, in the XY plane, the length from the base of the fork F101 or F102 to the tip. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, may be a length, including the Z-axis direction, may have a length that one end in the vicinity of the neighborhood and the tip of the root. Note that the root of the fork F101 or F102, the base of the fork F101 or F102, termination, the bent portion of the L-shaped, the portion becomes less flat, in the XY plane, the fork F101 or F102 and fork rails F11, F12 or the backrest F13 It is also a part intersect.

[0037]
 6, service management apparatus 1, the deflection angle theta is - [theta] P1 ≦ theta ≦ theta P1 + m 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.
 Reference surface B1 is 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).

 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, 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 is also referred to as" ) is calculated. 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.
[0039]
 (If the reference surface B1 and insertion face 211 are completely directly opposite) in FIG. 6, the range of P1 ≦ i ≦ P1 + m, the reference distance L i is the same value. In this case, the service management apparatus 1, the reference distance L i to target distance LB to.
 Meanwhile, like the reference surface B1 and plug surface 211 is not fully forward against the reference distance L i when are different, the service management apparatus 1, the reflected light from Sakomimen 211, the minimum value reference distance L i may be used as the target distance LB, the reference distance L i may be subject distance LB an average of. Or, the service management apparatus 1, 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, may be the object distance LB.
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1 detects the root or its vicinity of the fork, from the detected fundamental or near the may calculate the distance to the insertion surface 211 as the object distance LB.

In this case, the service management apparatus 1 determines to permit the lifting of the fork F101, F102. For example, the threshold value TH1 is a predetermined percentage of the fork length f1 (e.g., 90%) the length of, or the length determined in advance from the fork length f1 (e.g., 20 cm) is the length obtained by subtracting the.
[0046]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, the insertion distance d p is the threshold value TH1 or more, and if the threshold value TH2 (> TH1) or less, it may be determined that the insertion amount is appropriate. In other words, work management apparatus 1, the insertion distance d p is determined and if the threshold TH2 below, fork F101, F102 is not too plugged, can properly grasp the container 20.

(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. 13, the analysis unit 104 detects the fork F101, F102 (Sakomitsume) based on the obtained sensing information from the space recognition sensor (space recognition apparatus), fork F101, F102 was detected insertion distance d indicates the distance that is plugged into the container 20 (insertion target) p is calculated. Control unit 105, the insertion distance d p performs determining insertion amount is determined whether the range is determined in advance.
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1, the fork F101, F102 fork pockets 201 and 202, can be inserted by an appropriate distance, it can be appropriately carry transport object. For example, a forklift F1 is appropriately container 20 (good balance, be stabilized) gripped to be able to transport, etc. insertion amount is insufficient, it is possible to prevent dropping the container 20. Also, work management device 1, the object (other containers, etc.) at the back of the container 20, it is possible to prevent the damaging or overturning. Furthermore, the service management apparatus 1, after placing the container 20 in the carrier L1, etc., when the fork F101, F102 is not completely withdrawn, performed steering operation (steering operation) is fork F101, F102 are the container it is possible to prevent the conflict with 20.
[0071]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the service management apparatus 1 (forklift F1), analysis unit 104, a distance indicated by the sensing information, forks F101, the difference from the position of the root or near the F102 write target opening based on the reference distance LB to, insertion distance d p is calculated. For example, analysis unit 104, subtract from the reference distance LB from the fork length f1.
 Thus, the service management apparatus 1, based on the distance indicated by the sensing information, insertion distance d p can be calculated, it is possible to perform an insertion quantity determination using sensing information.
[0072]

 In the above embodiment, the analysis unit 104 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) is a position indicated by the sensing information, the fork pockets 201, 202 of the fork F101, F102 (tip) of the container 20 a timing reaching the position of the opening of the (also referred to as "reaching timing"), and the speed of the forklift F1, based on, plug the distance d p may be calculated.
[0073]
 14A and 14B are schematic views showing an example of the insertion amount determination according to a modification of the present embodiment.
 14A is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the timing fork F101, F102 reaches the insertion surface 211 of the container 20, FIG. 14B is a timing after the fork F101, F102 reaches the insertion surface 211 it is a diagram showing a father relationship between the two in. Incidentally, FIGS. 14A and 14B are diagrams sensing information and projected onto the XY plane. In Figure 14A and 14B, the distance LB 5 , LB 6 is a reference distance LB, the distance d p5 (= 0), d p6 is insertion distance d p is. Fork length f1 is the length of the fork F101, F102.
[0074]
 Specifically, the analysis unit 104, the value d obtained by subtracting the target distance LB from the fork length f1 is 0 (insertion distance d p = arrival distance d c a time became = 0), the arrival of fork F101, F102 detected as the timing (e.g., Figure 14A). Incidentally, analysis unit 104, when the forklift F1 had advanced on the basis of the vehicle information, the time when the value d is 0, may be arrival timing.
 The vehicle information may include, for example, gears vehicle information indicating a forward or a vehicle information movement direction indicates front (direction of rotation of the tire).
[0075]
 Analysis unit 104, the arrival timing, speed (or the Y-axis velocity) by integrating in time, insertion distance d p is calculated. For example, if the velocity v is the time when the constant Delta] t has passed, the analysis unit 104, the insertion distance d p is calculated as = v × Delta] t.
 The vehicle information, if it contains information that indicates the rotational speed and the circumference of the tires, analysis unit 104, the insertion distance d p a, (rotational speed of the later arrival timing tires) circumference × Tire it may be calculated as.
[0076]
 In this modification, analysis unit 104, for example, after reaching timing, without using the distance LB and forks length f1, the insertion distance d p can be calculated.
[0077]

 In the above embodiment, the analysis unit 104 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) is a position indicated by the sensing information, the fork pockets 201, 202 of the fork F101, F102 (tip) of the container 20 the basis of the distance LB to the plug surface 211 from the space recognition sensor upon reaching the position of the opening (the service management apparatus 1) of the subsequent spatial recognition sensor to the difference between the distance LB to the plug surface 211, Te, the insertion distance D the p- may be calculated.
[0078]
 For example, in FIGS. 14A and 14B, analysis unit 104, the distance LB from the space recognition sensor when the fork F101, F102 reaches the position of the opening of the fork pockets 201 and 202 to the insertion face 211 5 from the subsequent distance LB from the space recognition sensor to plug surface 211 6 by subtracting the, insertion distance d p6 is calculated.
 In this modification, analysis unit 104, for example, after reaching timing, without using a fork length f1, the insertion distance d p can be calculated.
[0079]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) has insertion distance d p on the basis of, it may be changed an output based on the insertion amount determination.
 Specifically, the control unit 105, when the plug amount is determined to be inappropriate, or approach the right and determining the range (or away from either) in whether may change the size and frequency of the output. Thus, the service management apparatus 1, in addition to the determination result of the insertion amount determination, insertion distance d p can output a change in the.
 For example, the control unit 105, when the plug amount is determined to be inappropriate, the closer to the right and determines the range, or, as the distance to the right and determines the range, increasing the frequency of the output (e.g., sound). In this case, the control unit 105, when the plug weight determination of the determination result is changed (appropriately changed from inappropriate), may be stops the output, or by performing a different output from that inappropriate it also may or may stop the output after the output. Thus, the service management apparatus 1, for example, for insertion amount determined in decision result alters correctly insertion distance d p whether to change the can inform the operator or the like.
[0080]
 Further, for example, the control unit 105, when the insertion amount is determined to be inappropriate, insertion distance d p in is greater than the predetermined value, as compared with smaller warning, less noticeable (smaller output, e.g. small sound or dark light, flashing time and the small number sound, light, may be a warning broad sound or flashing light) spaced. On the other hand, the control unit 105, when the insertion amount is determined to be inappropriate, insertion distance d p if is less than a predetermined value, as compared with the greater, more prominent warning (large output, for example, large sound or bright light, time and a large number of times a sound or light flashing, a warning in a narrow sound, light flashing, etc.) spaced.
[0081]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), result of the insertion amount determination, the traveling direction of the host vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted, based on the warning it may be output. In this case, the output unit 106, the result of the insertion amount determination, the traveling direction of the host vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted, based on, outputs a warning.
[0082]
 Specifically, the control unit 105, when the plug amount is determined to be inappropriate (insertion distance d p is smaller than the threshold TH1), when the traveling direction is reverse, to output a warning. In this case, the control unit 105, when the traveling direction is forward, may not be a warning. The control unit 105, when the plug amount is determined to be inappropriate (insertion distance d p is smaller than the threshold TH1), when the traveling direction is changed from forward to reverse, may be a warning.
 For example, a forklift F1, when carrying the container 20 forward to insert the forks F101, F102 to the container 20, then grips the container 20, usually, first, to carry the container 20 in reverse. That is, when the reverse is fork F101, which is appropriately inserting the F102 (insertion amount appropriate) is necessary. In this modification, the service management apparatus 1, since the traveling direction to output a warning when it is reverse, when it is necessary to properly grip the transported object, it is possible to output a warning.
[0083]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), result of the insertion amount determination, the vehicle information indicating the lifting operation of the host vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted, the based on, it may be a warning.
 Specifically, the service management apparatus 1, the insertion amount determination may be performed when the operation for raising and lowering the lift is performed. For example, service management apparatus 1, the first insertion amount determination, (moved in the Z-axis positive direction) to raise the lift may be performed when the operation is performed. On the other hand, the service management apparatus 1, the first insertion amount determining, after lowering the lift (Z-axis is moved in the negative direction) operation is performed, (time to have a specific movement) a specific period conducted it may be.
[0084]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) includes a first determination result and the second determination result, and the vehicle information, based on, may be performed output.
 Specifically, the control unit 105, the result of the insertion amount determination, the traveling direction of the host vehicle in which the apparatus is mounted, based on, to output a warning.
 For example, the control unit 105, when the plug is determined to be inappropriate in the first plug weight determination, to indicate that the vehicle information is backward traveling direction of the forklift F1, may output a warning . On the other hand, the control unit 105, when the plug is determined to be inappropriate in the second plug weight determination, to indicate that the vehicle information is backward traveling direction of the forklift F1, without a warning good.
 Here, the case showing that the traveling direction of the forklift F1 is backward, for example, if the gear is reverse, or a case where the gear is a forklift F1 began to reverse by the reverse.
[0085]
 Further, for example, the control unit 105, when the plug is determined to be inappropriate in the second plug weight determination, when the vehicle information indicates that the traveling direction of the forklift F1 is forward, even if a warning good. On the other hand, the control unit 105, when the plug is determined to be inappropriate in the first plug weight determination, when the vehicle information indicates that the traveling direction of the forklift F1 is advancing, without a warning good.
[0086]
 Further, for example, the control unit 105, when the plug is determined to be inappropriate in the first judgment result or the second judgment result, to indicate that a forklift F1 bends may output a warning. Here, the case shown that the forklift F1 bends, for example, if the steering angle indicated vehicle information is not less than the threshold value, or is the case where the forklift F1 began to reverse with the steering angle indicated vehicle information is equal to or greater than the threshold .
[0087]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) determines whether or not based on the sensing information and faces the insertion face 211 having an opening portion of the fork pockets 201 and 202 the determination after (also referred to as "confronting decision"), insertion quantity determination, or insertion quantity determination based warning (also referred to as "insertion amount determination etc.") may be performed.
 The control unit 105, after determining whether or not shift the positional relationship between the fork pockets 201, 202 and fork F101, F102 (also referred to as "deviation determination") based on the sensing information, insertion quantity determination or the like may be performed. Note that the deviation determination, the projection of the XZ plane, in the range of the fork pockets 201 and 202, it is to determine whether include forks F101, F102.
 Control unit 105, after the confronting determination, performs shift determination, then, it may be carried out insertion amount determination like. Thus, the service management apparatus 1, the forklift F1 is confronting, so inserted into the fork pockets 201 and 202 without displacement forks F101, F102, further suitable insertion distance d p can be inserted only.
[0088]

 In the above embodiment, the analysis unit 104 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1), when inserting the fork F101, F102, the amount to which the tip protrudes from the back of the container 20 ( "protrusion amount" both referred to) may be calculated.
 Specifically, the analysis unit 104 stores the length A in the depth direction of the container 20 (Y-axis direction) in advance, or calculated by the detection result due to the space recognition sensor. Analysis unit 104, the insertion distance d p a value obtained by subtracting A from the projection amount.
 Control unit 105, the amount of protrusion of the analysis unit 104 has calculated the case of more than the threshold value, as being too protruding, and outputs a warning. On the other hand, a protruding amount of analysis unit 104 has calculated a negative (not protrude), and (in the case of negative) when the threshold value or less, as insertion is insufficient, and may output a warning.
[0089]

 In the above embodiment, the control unit 105 (forklifts F1 or service management apparatus 1) may be set to perform or performed without condition bayonet amount determination.
 Control unit 105, when the first condition below is satisfied, a warning based on the insertion amount judgment, if not satisfy the first condition may not be performed a warning based on the insertion amount determination . The control unit 105, when the first condition is satisfied, performs insertion amount determining or sensing, if the first condition is not satisfied, may not perform an insertion quantity determination or sensing.
 The control unit 105, based on the first condition, a warning or based on insertion amount determination, insertion amount determining or sensing (hereinafter, referred to as a warning, etc.) interval may be changed for.
[0090]
 The first condition is, for example, the distance of the container 20 and the forklift F1 (e.g., the reference distance L i or subject distance LB) is a condition that is smaller than the threshold value (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.
[0091]
 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.
[0092]
 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.
[0093]
 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, work management apparatus 1, if it is fixed to the lower surface side, such as a fork rail F11 (bottom), the fork F101, F102 (especially to root portion) can sense the.
[0094]
 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).
[0095]
 Incidentally, the space 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 may be connected to the automatic operation device may be part of the automatic operation device. In other words, work management apparatus 1 performs insertion amount determination may be automatically operated forklift F1 as insertion amount is appropriate.
 For example, service management apparatus 1, results of the insertion amount determination, insertion distance d p so as to approach the range is predetermined gear, accelerator, to adjust the brake, for example, to the forklift F1 forward or reverse.
 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.
[0096]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1, when detecting the container 20 and forks F101, F102, may be used edge detection. Here, edges detected by edge detection, for example, the distance R, or a portion thereof change rate is large.
 Specific edge detection, the work management device 1, the detected object may be a partial portion of the differential is equal to or greater than the threshold value for each coordinate axis as an edge. Parts Further, for example, the service management apparatus 1, and Yamaji Waru planar portion between the detected difference portion becomes equal to or higher than the threshold of the distance R between a point adjacent or close to the opposite direction, which does not detect the reflected light of the laser beam the adjacent portions, the portion where the reception level of the reflected light of the laser beam adjacent to the lower portion, may be an edge. Service management apparatus 1 may perform edge detection by other methods.
[0097]
 Incidentally, the service management apparatus 1 described above, a program for realizing the functions may be recorded on a computer readable recording medium, to read the program recorded in this recording medium into a computer system, by executing, it may perform the above-described processing. Here, the "computer system" includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. In addition, the "computer system" also includes a WWW system having a homepage providing environment (or display environment). The "computer-readable recording medium" refers to flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROM, portable media such as a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in the computer system.
