Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Bereitstellen von Stellplätzen, bei der vor jedem Stellplatz eine an einer Halteeinrichtung angebrachte Sperrvorrichtung vorgesehen ist und jede Sperrvorrichtung mit einer an jedem Stellplatz angeordneten, der Halteeinrichtung gegenüberliegenden Verriegelungsvorrichtung verriegelbar und von dieser wieder lösbar ist, wobei jede Verriegelungsvorrichtung eine Einrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Pfandes aufweist und wobei eine durch eine Bedieneinheit beeinflussbare Sperreinheit vorgesehen ist, die mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a device and a method for providing parking spaces, in front of each parking space provided on a holding device locking device is provided and each locking device with a arranged at each pitch, the holding device opposite locking device lockable and releasable from this, each Locking device has a device for receiving a pledge and wherein an influenceable by an operating unit locking unit is provided which cooperates with the locking device.

Eine zum Abstellen von Fahrzeugen bestimmte Einrichtung ist in der DE 199 35 311 A1 beschrieben. Die praktische Umsetzung dieser in der Öffentlichkeit installierten Einrichtung hat eine Schwachstelle aufgezeigt, die darin besteht, dass zwischen der Freischaltung der Verriegelungseinrichtung und dem Zeitpunkt, an dem der Benützer eines Stellplatzes sein zuvor entrichtetes Pfand wieder zurückerhalten möchte, eine gewisse Zeitspanne vergeht, die von cleveren Kindern dazu genutzt wird, zuvor das Pfand auszulösen und für sich zu behalten. Die Freigabeschaltung verursacht nämlich durch die magnetisch wirkende Sperreinheit ein Geräusch, das wahrgenommen werden kann. Durch anschließendes Einführen der Sperrvorrichtung in die gegenüberliegende Verriegelungseinrichtung lässt sich daher das Pfand in unbefugter Weise auslösen, bevor der Benutzer des Stellplatzes diesen erreicht hat. Dieser Zustand ist nicht befriedigend.A device intended for parking vehicles is described in DE 199 35 311 A1. The practical implementation of this device installed in public has revealed a weak point, which is that between the activation of the locking device and the time at which the user of a parking space wants to recover his previously paid deposit, a certain amount of time elapses, that of clever ones Children is used to trigger the deposit before and keep to themselves. Namely, the release circuit causes a sound that can be perceived by the magnetically acting locking unit. By subsequently introducing the locking device in the opposite locking device can therefore trigger the pledge in an unauthorized manner, before the user of the parking space has reached this. This condition is not satisfactory.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Einrichtung der hier vorliegenden Art so zu verbessern, dass der eben beschriebene Mangel nicht mehr auftreten kann.It is an object of the invention to improve a device of the present type so that the defect just described can no longer occur.

Als Lösung wird eine Einrichtung mit den im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 genannten Merkmalen vorgeschlagen.As a solution, a device with the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1 is proposed.

Als weitere Lösung wird ein Verfahren genannt, das im Anspruch 4 beschrieben ist.As a further solution, a method is described, which is described in claim 4.

Durch das Einbringen von wenigstens einer Steuerelektronik und durch das Anbringen eines Sensors pro Stellplatz lässt sich die Freigabeschaltung so steuern, dass das zuvor beschriebene missbräuchliche Auslösen eines Pfandes nicht mehr möglich ist. Die Steuerelektronik lässt sich nämlich so programmieren, dass, obwohl die Bedieneinheit die Freischaltung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung bereits in Auftrag gegeben hat, die tatsächliche Freischaltung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung erst dann erfolgt, wenn beispielsweise bei einem Stellplatz für Fahrzeuge, das Fahrzeug vom Stellplatz weggefahren worden ist. Erst wenn der Sensor der Steuerelektronik mitgeteilt hat, dass sich auf dem Stellplatz kein Fahrzeug mehr befindet, leitet die Steuerelektronik ein Signal an die Sperreinheit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung weiter, so dass die Sperreinheit gelöst wird, mit der Folge, dass bei Einführen der Sperrvorrichtung in die benachbarte Verriegelungsvorrichtung das zuvor entrichtete Pfand zurückgegeben wird. Bei diesem Vorgang befindet sich der Benutzer des Stellplatzes im Bereich der Einrichtung, so dass ein missbräuchliches Auslösen des Pfandes durch nicht authorisierte Personen nicht mehr möglich ist.
Weitere Vorteile sowie zweckmäßige technische Einzelheiten und Merkmale sind in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie in den Unteransprüchen genannt.By introducing at least one control electronics and by attaching a sensor per parking space, the release circuit can be controlled so that the abusive triggering of a deposit described above is no longer possible. The control electronics can namely be programmed so that, although the control unit has already given the activation of the locking device in order, the actual activation of the locking device takes place only when, for example, at a parking space for vehicles, the vehicle has been moved away from the parking space. Only when the sensor has communicated to the control electronics that there is no vehicle on the parking space, the control electronics forward a signal to the locking unit of the locking device, so that the locking unit is released, with the result that upon insertion of the locking device in the adjacent Locking device the previously paid deposit is returned. In this process, the user of the parking space is in the area of the facility, so that an improper triggering of the pledge by unauthorized persons is no longer possible.
Further advantages and expedient technical details and features are mentioned in the following description and in the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung und anhand von wenigstens einem weiteren zeichnerisch nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gegenständlich und als Verfahren näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing and with reference to at least one further exemplary embodiment not illustrated drawing and as a method.

Die Zeichnung zeigt eine Einrichtung 1 zum Bereitstellen von Stellplätzen 2 für beispielsweise Fahrzeuge oder sonstige Gegenstände, die zeitweise abgestellt werden sollen. Es sind drei Stellplätze 2 zum Abstellen von Fahrzeugen, beispielsweise von Autos, dargestellt. Es sind vier als Pfosten ausgebildete Halteeinrichtungen 3 vorgesehen, die jeweils einen Eingang 4 zu einem Stellplatz 2 bilden. An drei der vier Halteeinrichtungen 3, links dargestellt, ist je eine Sperrvorrichtung 5 vorgesehen, die jeweils aus einer Kette 6 und einem am Ende der Kette 6 befindlichen Schlüssel 7 gebildet ist. Ebenfalls drei der vier Halteeinrichtungen 3, rechts dargestellt, weisen eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 zur Aufnahme des Schlüssels 7 einer Sperrvorrichtung 5 auf, wobei auch jede Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 eine Einrichtung zur Aufnahme eines Pfandes aufweist. In der Zeichnung befinden sich die Sperrvorrichtungen 5 in der Sperrposition. Jede Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 weist eine Sperreinheit 9 auf oder jeder Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 ist eine Sperreinheit 9 zugeordnet, die mit der jeweiligen Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 zusammenwirkt. Nahe einer jeden Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 ist an der jeweiligen Halteeinrichtung 3 eine Steuerelektronik 10 vorgesehen. Drei der vier Halteeinrichtungen 3 (links) tragen einen Sensor 11, der imstande ist, über Ultraschall oder Radar oder Infrarot einen Gegenstand innerhalb eines bestimmten Wegbereiches auszumachen. Jeder Sensor 11 und jede Sperreinheit 9 pro Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 stehen elektrisch geschaltet in Wirkverbindung mit jeweils einer Steuerelektronik 10. Jede Steuerelektronik 10 ist mit Hilfe einer externen Bedieneinheit 13 ansteuerbar. Die Steuerelektronik 10 kann entsprechend dem hier vorliegenden Bedarfsfalle programmiert werden. Zur Stromversorgung der betreffenden stromführenden Bauteile ist pro Stellplatz 2 eine Batterie 12 vorgesehen.The drawing shows a device 1 for providing parking spaces 2 for example, vehicles or other objects that are to be temporarily stopped. There are three parking spaces 2 for parking vehicles, such as cars, represented. There are four designed as posts holding devices 3, each having an input 4 to form a parking space 2. At three of the four holding devices 3, shown on the left, each a locking device 5 is provided, each formed of a chain 6 and a located at the end of the chain 6 key 7. Also, three of the four holding devices 3, shown on the right, have a locking device 8 for receiving the key 7 of a locking device 5, wherein each locking device 8 has a device for receiving a deposit. In the drawing, the locking devices 5 are in the locked position. Each locking device 8 has a locking unit 9 or each locking device 8 is associated with a locking unit 9, which cooperates with the respective locking device 8. Near each locking device 8, an electronic control unit 10 is provided on the respective holding device 3. Three of the four retainers 3 (left) carry a sensor 11 capable of detecting an object within a certain path range via ultrasound or radar or infrared. Each sensor 11 and each locking unit 9 per locking device 8 are electrically connected in operative connection with an electronic control unit 10. Each control electronics 10 can be controlled by means of an external control unit 13. The control electronics 10 can be programmed according to the need here present. To power the relevant current-carrying components per parking space 2, a battery 12 is provided.

Will jemand sein Fahrzeug auf einem Stellplatz 2 abstellen, muss er zuerst ein Pfand, beispielsweise eine Münze, in die zweckmäßigerweise als Münzpfandschloss gestaltete Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8, die sich an der nächsten rechts angeordneten Halteeinrichtung 3 befindet, einführen. Dadurch lässt sich die als Kette 6 gestaltete Sperrvorrichtung 5 lösen und an der benachbarten linken Halteeinrichtung 3 einhängen. Das Pfand verbleibt in der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8. Anschließend führt die Person das Fahrzeug auf den Stellplatz 2. Eine elektronisch gesteuerte, beispielsweise Funkwellen aussendende Bedieneinheit 13, in der Zeichnung oben dargestellt, befindet sich an jenem Ort oder an jener Stelle, beispielsweise in einer Gaststätte, einer Arztpraxis oder dergleichen, welche die genannte Person aufgesucht hat. Nach erfolgtem Besuch wird der Stellplatz 2 mit Hilfe der Bedieneinheit 13 vorläufig freigeschaltet. Bei diesem Vorgang, bei dem sich die erwähnte Person noch nicht am Stellplatz 2 befindet, wird die mit einer Antenne ausgestattete Steuerelektronik 10 in Bereitschaft versetzt, auf die Sperreinheit 9 so einzuwirken, dass ein Auslösen des Pfandes dann möglich ist, wenn der für den Stellplatz 2 zuständige Sensor 11 als Erkennungsmittel das Verlassen des Fahrzeuges erkannt hat. Es ist also notwendig, das Fahrzeug vom Stellplatz 2 wegzuführen, um dem Sensor 11 die Abgabe eines entsprechenden Signals an die als Steuerungsmittel vorgesehene Steuerelektronik 10 zu ermöglichen. Durch dieses Signal wird die Sperreinheit 9 von der Steuerelektronik 10 veranlasst, die Sperrposition aufzugeben, damit der Schlüssel 7 der Sperrvorrichtung 5 in die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 eingeführt und dort bei gleichzeitiger Freigabe des Pfandes verriegelt werden kann. Der Stellplatz 2 ist somit durch die Sperrvorrichtung 5 wieder abgesperrt und die Person hat ihr zuvor entrichtetes Pfand zurückerhalten.
Das eben beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel empfiehlt sich dann, wenn auf eine Verkabelung der einzelnen Stellplatzsysteme verzichtet werden kann oder eine derartige Verkabelung nicht möglich ist. Dann ist auf jeden Fall jeweils eine Steuerelektronik 10 pro Stellplatz 2 erforderlich.
Ist eine Verkabelung der einzelnen beschriebenen Systeme möglich, kann pro Einrichtung 1 eine einzige Steuerelektronik 10 genügen, die bei entsprechender Programmierung alle Stellplätze 2 verwalten und steuern kann und die auch an einer beliebigen Stelle der Einrichtung 1 installierbar ist. Ebenso kann die Bedieneinheit 13 als tragbares oder fest installiertes Gerät vorgesehen sein.
Es ist auch möglich, die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 und die Sperreinheit 9 als eine einzige Baueinheit zu gestalten. Ebenso ist es denkbar, die Sperreinheit 9 der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 funktional zuzuordnen, so dass zwei Baueinheiten gebildet sind.
Schließlich bleibt es dem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall überlassen, wo pro Stellplatz 2 der jeweilige Sensor 11 anzuordnen ist. Während beim vorhin beschriebenen zeichnerisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeder Sensor 11 in einer pfostenförmigen Halteeinrichtung 3 untergebracht ist, ist es durchaus möglich, jeden Sensor 11 innerhalb der Einrichtung 1 an einer anderen geeigneten Stelle, beispielsweise an einem an die Stellplätze 2 angrenzenden Gebäude anzuordnen.If someone wants to park his vehicle on a parking space 2, he must first deposit a deposit, for example a coin, into the lock device 8, which is suitably designed as a token lock and is located on the next right-hand holding device 3. This allows the designed as a chain 6 locking device 5 solve and hang on the adjacent left holding device 3. The pawn remains in the locking device 8. Subsequently, the person leads the vehicle to the parking space 2. An electronically controlled, such as radio waves emitting control unit 13, shown in the drawing above, is in that place or at that point, for example in a restaurant, a doctor's office or the like, which visited the said person Has. After the visit, the parking space 2 is temporarily unlocked using the control unit 13. In this process, in which the person mentioned is not yet at the parking space 2, equipped with an antenna control electronics 10 is placed in readiness to act on the locking unit 9 so that a triggering of the deposit is then possible if the for the parking space 2 responsible sensor 11 has recognized as a detection means leaving the vehicle. It is therefore necessary to lead the vehicle away from the parking space 2 in order to enable the sensor 11 to deliver a corresponding signal to the control electronics 10 provided as control means. By this signal, the locking unit 9 is caused by the control electronics 10 to abandon the blocking position, so that the key 7 of the locking device 5 can be inserted into the locking device 8 and locked there with simultaneous release of the pledge. The parking space 2 is thus shut off again by the blocking device 5 and the person has received back their previously paid deposit.
The embodiment just described is recommended when it can be dispensed with a wiring of the individual parking space systems or such wiring is not possible. Then in each case an electronic control unit 10 per pitch 2 is required.
If it is possible to cabling the individual systems described, one single electronic control unit 10 can suffice per device 1, which can manage and control all the parking spaces 2 with appropriate programming and which can also be installed at any point of the device 1. Similarly, the control unit 13 may be provided as a portable or permanently installed device.
It is also possible to make the locking device 8 and the locking unit 9 as a single unit. Likewise, it is conceivable to assign the locking unit 9 of the locking device 8 functionally, so that two units are formed.
Finally, it is left to the particular application, where per pitch 2 of the respective sensor 11 is to be arranged. While in the exemplary embodiment described above, each sensor 11 is housed in a post-shaped holding device 3, it is quite possible to arrange each sensor 11 within the device 1 at another suitable location, for example, on a building adjacent to the parking spaces 2.

Alle bis hierher beschriebenen Einrichtungen 1 sowie deren Varianten lassen ein Verfahren zu, bei dem es durch die Wahl der genannten Mittel möglich ist, mit Hilfe einer Steuerelektronik 10 die Einrichtung 1 so zu steuern oder zu schalten, dass das zur Nutzung eines Stellplatzes 2 zuvor entrichtete Pfand durch die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 8 nur dann zurückgeben wird, wenn sich das zuvor abgestellte Fahrzeug oder der Gegenstand nicht mehr auf dem Stellplatz 2 befindet.All devices 1 described so far and their variants allow for a method in which it is possible by the choice of the means mentioned, with the aid of control electronics 10, the device 1 to control or switch that paid for the use of a parking space 2 previously Deposit will only be returned by the locking device 8 when the previously parked vehicle or object is no longer on the parking space 2.
