Description [0001] Garage for adjusting several two-wheelers. In particular, those with an electric drive

TECHNICAL AREA

The invention relates to a garage for several bicycles, especially bicycles, with at least one adjustment level, the two-wheeled either by the user in the adjustment level or automatically via a manipulator the levels are fed and removed and the manipulator a receiving device for carrying two-wheeled.

DEFINITIONS

[0003] By the term "two-wheelers " As a rule, vehicles with two wheels, which run in a lane in succession, are called. The ability to drive a single-track vehicle without support wheels or other aids stable in the vertical axis, based on a dynamic balance. At standstill or locked wheels stabilization is eliminated. Bikes can z. B. be powered by muscle power, motors or gravity. A combination of muscle and engine power can be found in bicycles with auxiliary engine, mopeds, electric bicycles and pedelecs (bicycles and two-wheelers with an electric drive).

A garage is a lockable covered and preferably arranged at least in the lower region solid walls (with at least one lockable entrance gate) enclosed storage space for vehicles, mostly cars. But also for two-wheelers, such as bicycles are garages, such as parking garages in the training of parking garages known. Parked here on preferably several levels, the individual two-wheelers next to each other. They are covered and only accessible via an input or output.

STATE OF THE ART

From EP 0631 027 A2 a multi-storey tower-like garage for two-wheelers in the form of bicycles is already known to park or store them in the narrowest space. For this purpose, a tower-like storage device is arranged with a plurality of superposed, the two-wheelers proposed in Abstellbereichen receiving planes. In order to enable automatic parking or removal of the bicycles in short access times, the bicycles can be fed or removed from the planes via a central manipulator manipulators.

Furthermore, parking garages are known which can accommodate different types of two-wheelers. For this purpose, the user must pass through an entrance with the bicycle and park the bicycle in an open space. In contrast to the tower-like garages, the user enters the parking garage to safely park his bicycle.

In addition to the conventional bicycles, more and more electric mobility has future, which is why the most diverse electric bicycles are on the market, the electric motor receives its operating current through a rechargeable accumulator as storage for a certain amount of electrical energy (hereinafter referred to as battery or Battery). Here, the electric drive is designed for example in the so-called pedelecs, that is, the electric drive is not the exclusive drive, but a pedal support for the two-wheeler. But even electric sofas or motorcycles have an electric drive, but in these versions not only supportive but provides the sole drive.

Such conceived electric bikes or e-bike called, however, have a limited range due to the limited charge capacity of their battery, which at the same time the desired mobility is also limited. In addition, there are EU directives which limit the average power of such an electric drive to 25 W and reduce the power of the electric motor

Supporting the electric motor of a pedelec must also be disengaged from a speed of 25 km / h.

The average range of conventional electric bicycles is Depending on driven gradients between 80 and 110 km, which should be quite interesting for a pure city traffic. However, since a battery is only a memory for a limited electric power, this memory must be recharged again and again to increase the mobility, which is a weak point for achieving a high mobility. So far, one uses for an external power cord or power supply, which must be carried and with which the battery must be connected to a corresponding electrical outlet, this process takes several hours to recharge, in which the e-bike can not be fully used as such , For charging the battery is usually to take out of the holder of the bicycle and to arrange this near a standard electrical outlet.

Due to the increasing number of high-quality two-wheelers, but also to bicycles, pedelecs and e-bikes, also increases the expectation of users to suitably secure storage facilities. Especially in metropolitan areas and train stations it often lacks these possibilities. The space required to install an appropriate infrastructure is expensive or unavailable. Even for citizens who would like to drive with their high-quality bike to the station, the question arises for a safe storage option for this.

In addition, since many users now value environmentally friendly locomotion, the number of these two-wheeled vehicles increases in particular at traffic junctions. Today, at train stations and bus stops, the advent of two-wheelers, especially bicycles, is so high that it even poses a security risk in these areas due to blocked escape routes.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

This is where the invention, which is based on the object for a larger number of two-wheelers, such as e-bikes but also other two-wheelers to create a safe storage option, in either either the storage or at the same time certain maintenance can be done.

SOLUTION OF THE TASK

The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

The basic idea of the solution of the problem is to keep bicycles safe vandalism and to provide space in tight dimensions for it. The developed system is freely scalable so that the provision of setting levels for the two-wheeler can be selected as needed. The scaling takes place in the size of the corresponding level and thus the corresponding number of bicycles to be included but also in height by the number of corresponding levels. It can be provided, the bicycle by hand, i. by the user in a designated box to push or it can be provided that this is gripped by a manipulator and transferred to the parking position. The removal of the two-wheeler takes place accordingly. A manipulator is understood to mean a handling device which corresponds to a robot. This manipulator can be one - or multi - axial. Either a drive for all axes or multiple drives for the respective axes can be provided. The manipulator may for example be designed as a lifting device, wherein a gripping arm is provided for receiving the bicycle on the lifting device. In addition, the manipulator has at its free end on a gripping device, which may be part of a gripping arm. This gripping device has the property to grip the front wheel of the bicycle and lift so that a ground clearance is given. In order to encompass different sizes of wheels and thicknesses of wheels, the gripping device has a so-called gripping arm, which at least partially engages the circumference of the wheel of the bicycle and frictionally engages around the circumference of the wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle AT12 989U1 2013-03-15. Internal damping elements and mats are intended to prevent scratches and other signs of wear on the wheels, which could be caused by a grip.

The simple variant provides, a setting level - preferably at ground level - provide. The two-wheelers are adjusted or output in arranged on a disc segment-like boxes at one or more points. The user pushes the bicycle with the rear wheel first on a designated cross-section preferably v-shaped rail until the rear wheel enters a holder. The holder is preferably located on the side facing away from the entrance, i. preferably in the direction of the center of the disc within a box. Due to the V-shaped rail and the bracket on the rear wheel, the two-wheeler is firmly fixed within the box as soon as it has been pushed in there. Firmly fixed here means that the two-wheeler is determined according to the position and thereby kept. Even if the bicycle has appropriate luggage bags or goods arranged on the luggage rack, it can be kept safe by this type, without the bicycle, especially the rim is damaged. The user releases the box and the bicycle is safely stored.

Preferably, an input element is provided in this ground-level embodiment. This input element serves to position the respective free box, which is arranged segment-like on the pane, in this input area. The user can then manually insert the bicycle back into this box. Advantageously, there is only one input. The output may be at another location so as to increase the operating speed of this embodiment. In order to enable a quick adjustment and removal from these boxes, a specially trained manipulator is provided. This can also be arranged in the middle of the disc and so move the two-wheeler in the desired box.

If more space is needed, parking spaces are provided on several levels. The system provided is thus freely scalable and can be adapted as required. Several levels thus form a garage. Such a garage is preferably set up in a stand construction, wherein the respective uprights are arranged on the uprights, which are intended to receive in each case a bicycle. The garages are designed silo-like and can extend completely from the ground in the amount or in the earth or form a mixture thereof.

It is particularly advantageous if the one- or multi-storey garage forms a kind of silo with a round or different plan and builds like a box. In this case, the modular structure of the silo comprise a one-piece or multi-part base plate, which already has the connections for the receiving device, such as the manipulator (already embedded screw sleeves), the other structure may consist of steel struts, which are screwed together and / or welded together and then the whole thing is provided with a suitable envelope as weather protection. The cover can be illuminated and in addition, the attachment of advertising is possible with which, for example, the entire garage can be financed.

By choosing the modular system, it is advantageously possible to deliver the entire modular structure in a container, because for setting up the erfindungsgemääs-sen single or multi-storey garage only a suitably fixed ground and a gravel bed or the like is required.

Due to the steel braces used in the inventive garage, it may be appropriate in conjunction with temperature fluctuations, occasionally perform an automatic position measurement of the telescopic guide rail of the receiving device to the runners in the storage areas and their adjustment, in which case it must be ensured that during this adjustment no storage can take place. Alternatively, position markers can also be arranged on the respective guide rails, which indicate the respective position to the manipulator (in comparison to the embodiment described hitherto, in which the respective positions have been entered by coordinate input).

In order to enable a quick setting and removal from these garages, a specially trained manipulator is provided. This takes over the receipt of the two-wheeler as well as the appropriate parking (on the respective skids or the Abstellbereichen) of the two-wheeler within the garage. Taking a two-wheeler and setting this two-wheeler takes less than 15 seconds.

A particular embodiment provides that in particular for bicycles with an additional or built-in electric motor, which has at least one removable or fixed electrically rechargeable storage unit, a secure against theft and vandalism garage is created, which is optional for the electrical supply of E. Bikes is designed. Such garages may also be suitable for setting all types of two-wheelers, such as children's bikes, recumbents, racing bikes, very high quality bikes, etc. Advantageously, it may be provided to reserve certain seats specifically for electrically powered two-wheelers and equip them with the appropriate charging technology.

According to the present invention, the electrical supply on the one hand done by by for to be set in the garage or even for passing this e-bikes with a removable electrically rechargeable storage unit, a change station with multiple loading and / or storage compartments for the inclusion of the storage units is provided. The latter can have electrical connections which are connected to at least one electrical energy source which originates from a solar or wind technology and / or a fixed power network. In this case, the change station can be reached within the garage or from the outside of this.

The charging stations preferably have the property that the inserted batteries for the planned charging initially qualified. This means that the quality of the battery is determined, so that the abuse is countered, enter a bad battery and take out a better one. The system is designed to determine the quality of a program and immediately reissue an equivalent battery that is present in the system. If no battery of this quality level is available, the user is left to choose between paying a better battery or to wait until their own battery is recharged.

With the increasing number of e-bikes and other electrically powered two-wheelers, a standard will be set, so it will be possible to use more batteries in the loan system in the future.

On the other hand, it is also possible that in particular in the multi-storey garage facilities for a wireless charging of e-bikes are provided, in which case these themselves must be equipped with suitable solid - preferably inductively-electrically rechargeable storage units, including the The advantage is that the battery does not have to be removed from the wheel. Inductive charging systems are particularly suitable for the use of wheel fleets, which means, for example, that such e-bikes can be used well as company vehicles or for courier services. This type of garage is also suitable for the issue of rental bicycles, as it can be operated without a person around the clock.

In a circular floor plan of an inventive single or multi-storey garage, it is expedient if the Abstellbereiche for the two-wheeled run, starting from the respective central center of the garage, then the Abstellbereiche accordingly also radiating, in cross-section v - may have shaped support runners for receiving the tires of the respective two-wheeler, which may have a holding device for receiving the respective rear wheel of the two-wheeled bicycle at its remote from the central center end. A practicable design provides that the runners run helically upwards on the inside of the garage. The central feature of this arrangement is that the respective handlebars of the neighboring two-wheelers are not at the same height. A staggered arrangement has the advantage that a higher packing size is possible within the garage. In addition, the luggage may remain on the handlebars and on the racks.

It is advantageous if an inductive charging device is provided in the region of the holding device, which then at least partially encompasses, for example, the folded-up bicycle stand of a bicycle when it is inserted into the holding device or passes close to it, in which case the inductively chargeable permanently installed battery of the bicycle with the bicycle stand must have an electrical contact, which is possible by means of a cable. The bicycle stand is folded in and points to the rear in the direction of the rear wheel. Here it is detected by an induction coil without contact.

It is particularly expedient if the provided for the two-wheeled receptacle has a telescopically variable in length in cross-section v-shaped guide rail for receiving differently shaped tire and wheel lengths, wherein the length of the guide rail in dependence on certain wheel dimensions and / or predetermined weights of each to be transported two wheels is automatically adjustable. In this context, it is then possible for bicycles which exceed or fall short of the predetermined dimensions and / or weights to be automatically rejected by the receiving device. But it is also conceivable that the respective guide rails have a standard length. The length of the bicycle is determined electronically after being picked up by the manipulator, so that the travel path that the gripper arm is aware of when transferring the bicycle to the pedestal is known. This means that the manipulator covers exactly the distance until the two-wheeler is inserted in the holder with its rear wheel.

Further, it can be provided that the receiving device has a movable by means of a manipulator along the guide rail gripping arm for receiving different sized front wheels of the respective two-wheeler having transversely to these movable jaws. This allows different front wheels with sizes between 20 and 28 inches clamped easily and the respective two-wheeled are pushed by the gripper arm using the manipulator on the respective selected runners, until the respective rear wheel comes to rest in the holding device in the storage area.

In order to avoid accidents, it is expedient that the gripping arm has a stop pin in its interior, which is depressible bar by the respective front wheel of a bicycle, whereby only the movable jaws of the gripping arm pinch the front wheel. The gripper arm engages only when the front wheel is guided against the stop pin located in the gripper arm. It is sufficient if the gripping force is a maximum of 20 kg, so it is not necessary to take additional precautions for a pinch protection, because 20 kg almost correspond to the closing mechanism of a window, in which no special precautionary protection is necessary. Therefore, it is advantageously possible that the gripper arm can drive out unprotected in the entrance area of the one- or multi-storey garage in order to "receive the respective bicycle". The operation of this can be done both locally via a debit card, as well as through bookings over the Internet and apps from Apple and Android.

Furthermore, the security can also be increased by placing a held by the gripper arm two-wheeler within the one- or multi-storey garage is only feasible if no access of a person in the garage is more possible, that is, only if the respective bicycle has been pulled by the gripper arm with the help of the manipulator into the interior of the garage and then the entrance area was closed. For this purpose, a safety disputing mat, a motion detector, a light barrier or a double lock in the entrance area is also suitable.

Alternatively, it can also be provided that after setting the two-wheeler in the gripping arm, the user must leave the area of the bicycle. An embedded in the ground 5/17 Austrian Patent Office AT 12 989 Ul 2013-03-15

Contact mat detects whether the area is free.

The manipulator has the property to grab by a gripping arm, the bicycle on its front wheel. To be able to guide the front wheel well, this is slightly raised after grasping, so that this is no longer set by the pulling in rotation. With secure gripping the bicycle is passed through a measuring device that is suitable for verifying the object. Thus, to avoid that objects other than two-wheelers are parked in the garage, the gripper arm pulls the bicycle on a V-shaped rail, which is arranged on the manipulator, and keeps the bicycle fixed to the gripping arm. By a vertical and a rotary movement, the rail is brought by the bicycle to the desired free rail, which is provided for the parking of the two-wheeler. The gripper arm remains on the front wheel and the rear wheel is driven into the stop of the V-shaped guide rail. Since immediately after receiving the bicycle by the gripping arm during the pulling process, the bicycle is measured accurately, the position of the gripper arm is known for the manipulator, where he can then release the bicycle. Because the length that it takes to transfer the bicycle from its own guide rail on the runners, is then predetermined. Alternatively, sensors can determine the correct positioning of the bicycle. Since two-wheelers of different sizes are included and regardless of whether they are provided with luggage, saddlebags or similar attachments, it is advantageous to measure them before they are taken up by the manipulator. The obtained data then indicate whether the bicycle can be taken in the garage or not. This avoids collision-bearing two-wheelers or two-wheelers being picked up by a human or with oversized pieces of luggage.

Alternatively, especially the single-storey garage can also be integrally formed in a plane, in which case this has a kind of turntable, which is mounted on rollers and having a drive with an external gear, which is preferably designed in one piece with a bottom plate and driven , Here, too, an entrance area is provided through which the corresponding two-wheelers are input and output, wherein a charging station is conceivable both as a change station and as an inductive charging device. Due to the cake-shaped division seen from above, this inductive charging device can be arranged very practically for all corresponding setting slots.

Alternatively to the roller bearing and equivalent bearings can be provided which allow rotation of the hub relative to the entrance area.

Finally, it is advantageous if the inventive garage has an electronic management in the form of a charging electronics, control electronics, a control of the loading and / or storage compartments and the like and has an input and output management for the two-wheeler, the latter for this purpose RFID -Chip, GPS or other means of detection for detecting the respective two-wheeler can use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The "garage" shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 6 is a multi-level garage 1 for setting a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles, these being generally referred to herein as Z, when referring to normal bicycles and if an electric bicycle with a battery has to be changed, then the term ZE is used, whereas the term ZI is used when an inductive charging is used. Basically, the versions before and also the following descriptions for a variety of two-wheelers are predictable.

A first embodiment is shown in FIG. The multi-storey garage 1 has on its roof a solar technology 2 and has an entrance area 3, in which just a two-wheeled Z is ready for inclusion in the garage 1 ready. The garage 1 is designed as a cylindrical silo and outside covered by board elements. The arranged in the garage 1 technology of the manipulator will be explained in more detail below.

2, a second embodiment is shown. In contrast to Fig. 1 is a garage 4 for receiving two-wheeled Z, ZE, ZI in a plane. A turntable, not shown, has boxes, which is equipped with appropriate holding devices for the safe reception of two-wheeled vehicles. The free box is then provided to accommodate a two-wheeler the user in the entrance area 6 by rotating the script. Depending on the embodiment of this garage, the user can either manually insert the two-wheeler into the appropriately provided box, or a designated manipulator takes over the task and pulls the bicycle in the corresponding free box. On her roof a solar technology 6 is arranged. Inside this garage 4, the individual parking spaces / boxes 7 are each completely closed and run in a star shape to the center.

As an alternative to this embodiment, this single-storey garage 4 may be equipped such that within the garage, a manipulator is arranged. This manipulator can then pick up the two-wheeler and park it in a free box. Such an embodiment is shown for example in Fig. 3. This representation corresponds at the same time to a first level of a multi-storey garage, as shown in Fig. 1.

The embodiment shown in Figs. 3 and 4 shows a circular arrangement of runners 15, which are formed in their cross-section u- or v-shaped. They are designed so that they can accommodate wheels of two-wheelers of different thickness. The runners 15 are to be arranged in a plane. However, in order to achieve a higher packing density, it is advantageous to arrange the runners 15 alternately at different heights on the inner wall of the garage 1. A circular arrangement forms a plane. If several floors are formed, these arrangements of the one level in the next floor to be arranged again.

The outer shell of the garage 1 is preferably designed in a stand construction. A vertically aligned skeleton gives the necessary rigidity to accommodate the runners 15. These are preferably attached to the vertical rod elements 15a. This means that the runners 15 extend cantilevered into the interior of the garage 1. The rod elements 15a are to be determined depending on the application in terms of their length. Therefore, up to 6 floors can be realized without further static features. In Fig. 5, for example, a garage 1 is shown, the first level 8, a second level 9 and a third level 10 and a fourth level 11. The facilities, such as the manipulator 12, the runners 15, fixtures 16 are identical to the Execution of a garage 1 only in one level.

With particular reference to the illustrations in FIGS. 3 to 5, a manipulator 12 is arranged centrally, which conveys the two-wheeler to be parked into the respective parking elements, consisting of the uprights 12 and corresponding holding devices 16. The holding device 16 is provided to securely receive the rear wheel of a two-wheeler. By a defined contact force, which is exerted by the manipulator (or user), the bicycle remains safe in the u- or v-shaped stand 12 are. Since the length of the bicycle has been measured before pulling in the two-wheeler, the manipulator is aware of the route which he has to cover in order to place the bicycle safely in the holding device 16.

Furthermore, the garage 1 has an entrance area 3. This input area 3 is used to safely receive the bicycle so that it can be placed in the correct position by the manipulator 12 in a pedestal 15. Furthermore, the entrance area 3 serves to check whether it is actually a two-wheeled vehicle and that the person who turns off the bicycle is no longer in the entrance area when the manipulator 12 takes up the activity.

For this purpose, a lock is provided which has an inner door 30 and an outer door 31 (only indicated in FIG. 3).

In addition - advantageously in the entrance area 3 - a changing station 32 is provided for rechargeable batteries, which has, according to FIG. 11a and 11b, for example, ten loading compartments 33 and ten storage compartments 34 (viewed from top to bottom), which each access doors 35 with a handle 36 at points, which are formed lockable. Further, within the loading and storage compartments 33 and 34 not shown in detail electrical connections for storage units (batteries) are provided which are electrically connected to the solar technology 5 of the garage 1 or other electrical power guides. The control of this changing station 32 and the rest of the handling of a display not shown in detail, which leads the user interactively about the use and application to the reservation and payment. With regard to the changing station 32, devices are also provided which qualify, insert and analyze the inserted batteries.

FUNCTIONALITY

The two-wheeler, which is intended for parking in a garage, is introduced into the entrance area 3. Such a situation is shown for example in FIG. To the 8/17 Austrian Patent Office AT12 989U1 2013-03-15

Now analyzing the two-wheeled vehicle and bringing it into a storage area, in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3 to 5, the centrally arranged manipulator 12 is provided. An enlarged view of this manipulator 12 is shown in Fig. 6. This manipulator 12 has a receiving device 13, which is designed like a rail. This receiving device comprises a guide rail 14, in which the two-wheeled vehicle to be transported is received. In order to transfer the bicycle from the entrance area 3 to the guide rail 14, it is provided that at least one gripper arm 21, which is movable in a carriage-like manner parallel to the guide rail 14, can grip the bicycle. If the range of the shoe 21 is not sufficient, it is provided that the guide rail 14 extend telescopically on a carriage advantageously arranged below the guide rail 14. The shoe 21 is then extended by the same length. A drive 22 ensures the corresponding movements of sliding block or guide carriage.

The gripping arm 21 has two sickle-shaped, transversely to the guide rail 14 movable jaws 23 and 24, between which different sized front tires of two-wheeled Z, ZE and ZI can be picked up and clamped to take, this come tire sizes of 20 to 28 inches and gripping forces up to 20 kg in question. Further, located between the jaws 23 and 24 is not visible in the drawing stop pin, which must be depressed only by a tire, before the jaws 23 and 24 pinch this, which contributes significantly to safety.

Further, the manipulator 12 (Fig. 6) comprises a lifting mechanism 25 which is guided on both sides in vertical rails 26 and 27 and carries the receiving means 13, wherein the lifting mechanism 25 for the vertical positioning of the receiving means, i. the procedure is provided in the respective levels. The power transmission from a drive to the receiving device takes place in this embodiment, via toothed belt 28th

Any other types of displacement of the lifting mechanism 25 are conceivable. This embodiment has the advantage that a high positioning accuracy and a high transport speed are achieved in cooperation with electric servo motors.

Advantageously, it is provided that the two-wheeled vehicle to be parked and secured is parked in a predefined area. Before the bicycle is now moved through the manipulator, the user has to leave this area. In order to enable a secure automatic essay, it is intended to automatically control this area. Only when the person has sufficient distance to the bicycle, this is moved. One solution may be that the bicycle is parked in a kind of pre-sluice. Only when the user has left this Vorschleuse, which is determined by contact mat or motion detector, the bicycle can be retracted.

The gripping arm 21 now grips the front wheel V of the two-wheeled vehicle ZE, for example a shoe. The jaws 23, 24 move together, so that the front wheel is clamped. Subsequently, the front wheel V is slightly raised by the gripper arm 21 so that it has no contact with the ground more. The reason for this is that the front wheel V can not rotate due to the clamping action of the gripping arm 21.

However, this process is only triggered when the front wheel within the gripper arm 21 triggers a contact to confirm that the front wheel V is correctly positioned and the person who has parked the bicycle has left the area. During the movement of the gripping arm 21 in the direction of arrow 38 (FIG. 7), the bicycle is measured by a measuring unit 37. If no correct, database-compliant data is recorded, the bicycle is returned.

8, the two-wheeled vehicle ZE is further pulled in the direction of the arrow 38 on the guide rail 14 until it has been completely taken up, as shown in FIG.

The manipulator 12 moves now to a free storage area 7 and sets the Füh- the Austrian Patent Office AT12 989U1 2013-03-15 rail 14 to the same height. as a free Standkufe 15 has. Once this position is taken, moves the gripping arm 21 against the arrows 38 and pushes the bicycle from the guide rail 14 on the Standkufe 15. Since the measuring unit 37, the length of the two-wheel ZE has been measured accurately, the travel length is contrary to the gripping arm 21 the arrow direction 38 known until the rear wheel H in the holding device 16 (exemplified in Fig. 3) passes. Alternatively, a sensor can detect the picking in the holding device 16 in order to stop the feed of the gripping arm 21 in the direction of the arrow 38.

For the removal of the bicycle from a pedestal 16, the same procedure is provided in reverse order.

CHARGING TECHNOLOGY

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in each case a charging device 17 is provided in addition to the holding devices 16 at some stationary runners. Optionally, several or no or only a few places can be equipped with such a charging devices. The user specifies in the setting process what kind of parking he wants. If he is free, he will also be assigned one. These charging devices 17 have the purpose to load a set electrically driven bicycle during the setting process. For this purpose, different charging techniques may be provided, for example, those with a connector but also those that inductively supply the battery with power. This device has the advantage that it is not necessary to supply the battery separately to the changing station 32, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.

The charging device 17, which is shown in more detail in Fig. 10, in this illustrated embodiment configured such that it preferably has spring-loaded inductive coupling elements 18 on both sides, in which at least one arm of a folded-up bicycle stand 19 touch contactless and thus practically the Ferrite core of the rechargeable electrical storage unit (battery) - designated 20.1 - forms. In this case, the storage unit 20.1 is electrically connected to the bicycle stand 19 by means of a cable, not shown. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5, black boxes are symbolically represented for an inductive charging device 17.

FURTHER TRAINING OF THE INVENTION

Additional control mechanisms that are provided additionally provide the security that this garage for two-wheelers can be operated fully automatically.

Thus, when setting in the predefined area, the weight of the two-wheeler is determined. If the bicycle to be adjusted exceeds a defined limit, it will not be accepted. In addition, measurements may be made during the retraction of the bicycle on the manipulator, which are compared with sizes that have been stored in databases. This avoids introducing a misshapen object that does not match the utility of the device.

It is further provided to control the position of the bicycle stand. On the one hand, this is important for e-bikes because they are loaded over it. By automatic commercial facilities, the position is determined and assigned depending on the design of the appropriate loading space within the garage. Since the two-wheeled vehicles are driven backwards into the respective parking positions, the pedals of the two-wheeler, in particular in the case of bicycles, also move backwards. Is then the bike stand extended, blocks the wheel and setting the two-wheeler in the garage is not possible. Therefore, the position of the bicycle stand is already checked when the two-wheeler, in particular so that a backward shift is still possible.
