Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to bicycle parking systems, methods of assembling bicycle parking systems, and systems.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Bicycles are typically secured against theft. In the simplest case, these are conventional bicycle locks for universal use, predominantly for example padlocks, spiral cable locks, chains or frame locks. These bicycle locks are usually small and light, as they have to be carried with you while you are driving, and therefore offer only limited protection against theft.

There are also locally installed bicycle parking stations that have locking systems and are stationary. Bicycle parking stations with such locking systems are z. B. known as bicycle rental stations and are usually only intended for specially designed bicycles. Bicycles that do not have the appropriate interface cannot be locked to the provided locking systems at such bicycle parking stations and thus cannot benefit from the higher theft security of these heavy locking systems. Such bicycle parking stations are preferably set up in cities and in places that have a high volume of traffic, dense buildings or numerous other structural devices. The installation of these bicycle parking stations requires free space that is only available to a limited extent at the locations described.

The US 9 381 964 B2 describes a system for locking bicycles with a main body, which is fixed on a surface, and a safety bar, wherein the safety bar is rotatably attached to the main body.

The US 6,751,992 B1 For example, describes a bicycle locking system for providing a tethered attachment to an immovable object, comprising a carrier element attachable to a bicycle frame element, the carrier element having an anchor arm that is pivotably attached to the carrier element and can extend from the carrier element.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Against this background, the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved, particularly user-friendly bicycle parking system.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a bicycle parking system with the features of claim 1 and / or by a method with the features of claim 19 and / or by a system with the features of claim 20.

According to a first example of the present invention, a modular bicycle parking system for securing bicycles, electric bicycles, scooters, electric scooters and the like has a main body having a mounting interface, the mounting interface being designed and shaped in such a way as to mount the main body on a linkage, by the assembly interface enclosing the linkage in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. Furthermore, the bicycle parking system has at least one securing bar which is designed to be releasably fixed to the main body, the securing bar also being designed to enclose a portion of the bicycle and, in the assembled state, by fixing the securing bar to the main body on the bicycle to secure the linkage.

The idea on which the present invention is based is to provide a modular bicycle parking system with which different types of two-wheelers can be blocked off.

The main body is defined by a housing that can consist of all known materials that are resistant to weather-related influences, for example rain, wind or the like, and mechanical stress, such as foreign objects placed on it or leaning bicycles, as well as violence, for example in the context of a Attempted theft. These materials are, without an exhaustive list, steel, alloys, light metals, plastics, composite materials or comparable materials. The main body also has removable flaps or panels in order to be accessible in particular for repairs and other service processes. The main body can have an angled shape, preferably at an angle of about 45 °.

The mounting interface can be detachably mounted on the main body, for example by means of screws, or non-detachably, for example by welding, soldering or gluing. The mounting interface can be made from the same material as the main body. The bicycle parking system according to the invention can in particular comprise two assembly interfaces. The two Mounting interfaces can be arranged at a predetermined angle to one another and designed to be attached to elements of the linkage that run at a certain angle to one another.

Any type of fixed installation that is built up from rods, pipes, etc. or at least includes them can be used as a linkage. In particular, horseshoe-shaped leaning brackets, steel girders, lamp posts, street sign posts, support posts, railings or other rod profiles that are stationary come into consideration.

The securing bracket can be horseshoe-shaped, semicircular, angular or shaped from combinations of these shapes and have a round, angular or mixed profile in cross section, which is made of solid material or is hollow on the inside. Furthermore, the safety bracket can be made of the same material as the main body or a different material as used in conventional bicycle locks. Furthermore, the safety bracket can be covered with a soft outer material in order to prevent the bicycle from being damaged by contact or impacts. The ends of the safety bracket can point collinearly in the same direction. A mechanical, electronic or magnetic lock, for example, is suitable for the detachable fixing of the securing bracket to the main body. To secure the bicycle to the main body, the securing bracket surrounds a part of the bicycle, for example the frame, the frame and a wheel, a wheel, the handlebar or the handlebar and a wheel, and is releasably fixed to the main body, for example by the lock . In particular, the securing bracket can be releasably fixed to the main body via the lock. The lock is at least partially fixed mechanically on or in the main body by means of a force fit (e.g. screw connection, rivet connection, etc.) and alternatively or additionally by means of a form fit (snap connection, latching connection, etc.) and alternatively or additionally by means of a material connection (welded connection, Soldered connection, adhesive connection, etc.) attached and configured to be locked or locked mechanically and alternatively or additionally electrically and alternatively or additionally magnetically.

Thus, according to the invention, the advantages of a robust anti-theft device can be used for universal bicycles without a heavy and complex bicycle securing system having to be carried while driving. In addition, the invention can use the existing structural infrastructure and thus requires little new space.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a bicycle parking system for securing bicycles, electric bicycles, scooters and the like has a main body and at least one securing bracket. The securing bracket is designed to be releasably fixed to the main body, the securing bracket also being designed to enclose a portion of the bicycle and, in the assembled state, to secure the bicycle to the linkage by fixing the securing bracket to the main body.

The main body is substantially the same as the main body according to the first example of the present invention. Furthermore, this main body can be stationary and firmly connected to a base or a structure.

The securing clip corresponds essentially to the securing clip according to the first example of the present invention, wherein the securing clip can in particular be designed in the form of a rod and can extend essentially in a longitudinal direction.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for mounting a bicycle parking system on a linkage comprises the following steps. Providing a bicycle parking system according to the invention. Furthermore, the provision of a fixed linkage, the cross-section of which can be enclosed by the assembly interface. Mount the bicycle parking system on the linkage, in that the assembly interface encloses the linkage in a form-fitting and / or non-positive manner.

The linkage essentially corresponds to the linkage according to the first example of the present invention. The linkage can either already be provided in a stationary manner or be anchored in a stationary manner at a certain point in the ground. The mounting interface is selected or prepared according to the shape of the linkage. In addition, adapters can be used in the assembly interface, the inner contour of which corresponds at least in sections to the linkage to be enclosed and whose outer contour corresponds to the recess of the assembly interface.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a system for securing a bicycle has a fixed linkage and a bicycle parking system according to the invention, which is mounted on the linkage in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner via its mounting interface.

The linkage essentially corresponds to the linkage according to the first example of the present invention. With the bike it can be also include electric bikes, scooters, electric scooters and the like.

Advantageous refinements and developments result from the dependent claims and from the description with reference to the figures of the drawings.

According to one development, the main body has a first part and at least one second part, the first part and the second part being articulated to one another via a joint.

The main body is divided into a first part and a second part by a joint, the two parts preferably being connected to one another in an articulated manner like a hinge or another joint with at least one degree of freedom. The folding axis runs essentially transversely through the main body and enables the second part to be folded over, in particular by +/- 90 ° starting from a neutral position in which a bicycle could be secured.

Thus, the second part and the safety bracket can be folded down to save space when no bike is secured in the bike parking system.

According to a further development, a first fastening of the securing bracket is rotatably and / or pivotably mounted on the main body.

The first fastening of the safety bracket is rotatably mounted on a long side of the main body, for example via a radial bearing or cross bearing (e.g. ball bearings, roller bearings, etc.), so that an axis of rotation runs essentially horizontally and transversely through the main body. The securing bracket can be rotated about the axis of rotation, in particular by 135 ° from an open position oriented vertically upwards to a closed position inclined downwards by 45 ° with respect to the horizontal. The rotation of the securing bracket can take place in a plane of rotation which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and which runs essentially parallel to the long side of the main body. At the same time or as an alternative, the first fastening of the securing bracket is pivotably mounted on the long side of the main body, for example via a pivot bearing, so that a pivot axis runs essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation and parallel to the long side of the main body. The safety bracket can be pivoted about the pivot axis, in particular by about 30 ° opposite the long side of the main body from a normal orientation in the open and closed position to a pivoted orientation in which the safety bracket points away from the long side of the main body . The pivoting of the securing bracket can take place in a pivot plane which is perpendicular to the pivot axis and which runs essentially perpendicular to the long side of the main body and extends along the longitudinal direction of the securing bracket. By pivoting the safety bracket, the distance between the safety bracket and the main body can be varied. While the axis of rotation remains constant in relation to the main body, the pivot axis rotates with the rotation of the securing bracket about the axis of rotation and still does not intersect a longitudinal axis of the main body. The securing bracket can also be attached to the main body or its long side via a single rotary pivot bearing, for example a ball-and-socket head bearing, which enables both the rotation and the pivoting.

The safety bar waits, for example, in a vertically upwardly oriented open position and a user immediately parks a bicycle when approaching the bicycle parking system in such a way that the safety bar only needs to be rotated into the downwardly inclined closed position in which the safety bar can be detached with the Main body can be fixed and the safety bracket encloses part of the bicycle. Pivoting thus advantageously enables a bicycle to be set between the safety bracket and the main body, since the safety bracket can be pivoted open and the bicycle can be positioned between the main body and the safety bracket before the safety bracket is releasably fixed on the main body.

According to a further development, a second fastening of the securing bracket is detachably fixed on the main body.

The second fastening of the securing bracket can, as described in the first example of the present invention, be releasably fixed to the main body by a mechanical, electronic or magnetic lock.

According to the invention, the securing bracket is adjustable in length.

For this purpose, the safety clip is designed to vary and lock the distance between the two ends of the safety clip and to adjust and lock the length of the safety clip perpendicular to the straight line connecting the two ends of the safety clip. The securing clip is also designed to enable the change in length against the resistance by a tensioned spring element in the direction of the change in length.

Thus, the safety bracket can be adapted to different bicycle frame widths and shapes.

According to a further development, the first fastening of the securing bracket is mounted so that it can be pulled out, in particular can be pulled out axially and / or can be pulled out along the securing bracket.

In this way, the safety bracket can be pulled out along the already defined axis of rotation. For this purpose, the first fastening of the safety bracket can be mounted telescopically with an inner cylinder in an outer sleeve on the main body and can be pulled out over a certain length so that the safety bracket can be adapted to different bicycle frame widths and shapes.

As a result, the safety bracket for adjusting the bicycle can have a large opening area and enclose a part of the bicycle with the smallest possible gap through which the bicycle could be pulled out.

According to a further development, at least one safety cable is provided which is attached to the main body and which has a safety ring, the safety cable being designed and arranged in such a way that it can be releasably fixed to the safety bracket and / or to the main body via the safety bracket.

The locking ring is designed in such a way that it can be guided over the locking bracket. After the locking ring has been guided over the locking clip, the locking clip can be releasably fixed on the main body and thus the locking ring can be secured to the main body via the locking clip. The fuse cable is attached to the main body at one end, for example. One end of the securing cable is thus permanently connected to the main body, while the securing cable can be secured to the main body by the securing ring by means of the releasably fixed securing bracket as required. The safety cable preferably consists of a steel wire or other types of rope, such as are customary for securing against unauthorized removal of an object.

It is thus possible to additionally secure objects, such as a saddle, a helmet or other parts attached to or carried on the bicycle.

According to a further development, the main body has a cable drum to which one end of the safety cable is attached and which has a return direction which is designed to automatically roll up the safety cable on the cable drum.

The security cable can be rolled up on a cable drum inside the main body and rolled out if necessary. Furthermore, the cable drum in the interior of the main body or the safety cable at the exit from the main body can be blocked mechanically or mechatronically, while the second fastening is detachably fixed in the lock.

Thus, the length of the safety cable can be unrolled and rolled up again as required, and as a result, the safety cable does not lie around as an obstacle on the floor or the environment.

According to a further development, the main body has a receiving device which is designed and arranged to receive the second fastening.

When a bicycle is not being secured, the securing bracket can be received by the receiving device in the open position on the long side of the main body. Thus, as long as a bicycle is not secured, the safety bar can be positioned in the open position, whereby the bicycle can first be brought into a position in relation to the main body in which the bicycle can be secured to the main body by the safety bar, and then the safety bar is closed can be done without having to hold the safety bracket with one hand while the bicycle is positioned relative to the main body.

Thus, the bicycle can first be leaned against or positioned against the main body and then, in particular with just one hand, the second end of the safety bracket can be guided from the receiving device on the main body into the lock on the main body and releasably fixed.

In this way, the process of securing the bicycle can run faster and more ergonomically.

According to one development, a control device is provided which is designed to control electrical components of the bicycle parking system.

The control device is electronically connected to all electrical components of the bicycle parking system, in particular to the lock and an internal energy store. The bicycle parking system can also be connected to an external power supply network. Via a control command from the control device, the Securing bracket, in particular its second attachment in the lock, can be fixed or released on the main body. The respective status, the safety bracket released (state: "unlocked") or the safety bracket fixed (state: "locked"), is transmitted to the control device. The control device can also read out the charge content of the internal energy store. The control device can comprise a data processing device and optionally a memory. The data processing device can, for example, be a microcontroller (uC), an integrated circuit, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an application-specific standard product (ASSP), a digital signal processor (DSP), an im Field programmable (logic) gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA) and the like. The memory can be a data memory such as a magnetic memory (e.g. magnetic core memory, magnetic tape, magnetic card, magnetic strip, magnetic bubble memory, drum memory, hard disk drive, floppy disk or removable disk), an optical memory (e.g. holographic memory, optical tape, adhesive tape) , Laserdisc, Phasewriter (Phasewriter Dual, PD), Compact Disc (CD), Digital Video Disc (DVD), High Definition DVD (HD DVD), Blu-ray Disc (BD) or Ultra Density Optical (UDO)), a magneto -optical memory (e.g. MiniDisc or Magneto-Optical Disk (MO-Disk)), a volatile semiconductor memory (e.g. Random Access Memory (RAM), Dynamic RAM (DRAM) or Static RAM (SRAM)) Non-volatile semiconductor memory (e.g. Read Only Memory (ROM), Programmable ROM (PROM), Erasable PROM (EPROM), Electrically EPROM (EEPROM), Flash EEPROM (e.g. USB stick), Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) or phase-change RAM) or a data carrier or storage medium.

The control device can thus provide and process all data centrally.

According to a development, a communication interface is provided which is communicatively coupled to the control device and via which a communication link can be established between the control device and an external communication participant.

The communication interface can transmit the data via wire, e.g. B. bus systems, USB or digital subscriber line (DSL), or transmitted wirelessly, in particular by cellular network (e.g. Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) / 3G, Long Term Evolution (LTE) / 4G, LTE-Advanced / 4G +) , Internet (e.g. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT)), Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), WLAN / WiFi, ZigBee or infrared interface. The external communication participant can be a smartphone, tablet, PC or other communication-capable digital device.

In particular, a wireless communication interface can be used to communicate with the control device of the bicycle parking system from any location.

According to a further development, at least one controllable optical display is provided, the control device also being designed to display various operating states of the bicycle parking system via the controllable optical display.

The controllable optical display is preferably a light-emitting diode (LED) but can also be any other known light source. The different operating states can be indicated, for example, by different colors or by flashing at different flashing frequencies or constant lighting of the controllable optical display.

The bicycle parking systems can thus advantageously optically display operating states, in particular a malfunction, and be visually highlighted for a user or service personnel from a large number of bicycle parking systems at one location in order to be able to target a specific bicycle parking system.

According to one development, at least one local energy supply is provided which is designed to provide electrical energy for operating the bicycle parking system.

The local energy supply can generate the electrical energy, for example, from monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar cells or from thin-film cells or organic solar cells. Furthermore, the local energy supply can be electronically connected in particular to the lock, to an internal energy store and to all other energy-consuming electrical components of the bicycle parking system.

This has the advantage that the bicycle parking system can ideally be operated autonomously and does not depend on an external energy supply.

According to a further development, at least one controllable camera is provided which is designed to record images of the bicycle parking system and / or an area around the bicycle parking system.

The camera can, for example, be a compact, bridge, system, or reflex camera and ideally be equipped with a wide-angle lens. The camera is electrically connected to the internal energy store or the local energy supply as well as electronically to the control device.

In this way, it is possible to record the processes in the area around the bicycle parking system in order to have evidence available in the event of theft or vandalism, for example. User identification can also be carried out with the camera.

According to a further development, a lighting device is provided which is designed and arranged to illuminate the bicycle parking system and / or an area around the bicycle parking system.

The lighting device can take place with all known lighting means, in particular with incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps, light-emitting diode lamps (LED lamps) or sodium vapor lamps. The control device, which is electronically connected to the lighting device, controls the lighting device.

The lighting device can be switched on when a user approaches the bicycle parking system or when a user has an external communication participant, e.g. B. a smartphone, the lighting device switches on by pressing a button to find his bike easier. The lighting device also makes it easier to use the bicycle parking system in the dark.

According to one development, the safety bracket is shaped and / or dimensioned to enclose a frame and / or handlebars of the bicycle or scooter and, in the assembled state, to secure the bike or scooter to the linkage by fixing the safety bracket to the main body.

The securing bracket is preferably shaped and / or dimensioned in such a way that the frame and / or handlebars of the bicycle or scooter are enclosed as closely as possible and only small gaps remain free through which the frame and / or handlebars of the bicycle or the Scooters can not be removed, wherein the securing bracket can be designed in particular rod-shaped and can extend essentially in a longitudinal direction.

According to a further development, the mounting interface has at least one recess, which has a substantially round or polygonal cross-section in such a way as to shape and shape a given leaning bracket, steel beam, lamp post, street sign post, railing and / or other rod profiles that are firmly anchored to the ground / or to enclose frictionally.

The assembly interface can have recesses at the intended assembly point, which have, for example, a round or polygonal cross section or essentially the shape of the rod to be enclosed.

Thus, an adequate contact area is provided between the recess of the mounting interface of the main body and the linkage.

According to a further development, at least one adapter is provided which is shaped and designed to be inserted into the recess of the mounting interface, the inner contour of the adapter corresponding to the rod to be enclosed and the outer contour of the adapter to the recess of the mounting interface at least partially corresponding.

Adapters, for example made of foam, soft plastic, insulating material or wood, can be inserted into the recess of the mounting interface so that any gaps are closed and, in particular, a high level of static friction between the linkage and the mounting interface is ensured.

In this way, the adapters can also help ensure that the linkage is enclosed by the assembly interface not only in a form-fitting but also in a force-fitting manner. In addition, the bicycle parking system is thereby at least electrically and thermally isolated from the linkage.

According to one development, the assembly interface is releasably fixed on the main body.

The mounting interface can be releasably fixed to the main body, for example, by means of a screw connection.

Thus, the assembly interface can be variably adapted to the linkage and an optimal connection between the linkage and the bicycle parking system can be established. In addition, the mounting interface of the bicycle parking system can be replaced if it is worn or damaged or the bicycle parking system is mounted on a different linkage.

According to a further development, the securing bracket and / or the main body is in a lean-to area for a bicycle or a scooter which comes into contact between the safety bracket or the main body and the enclosed part of the bicycle or scooter, made of soft or elastic plastic, silicone, rubber or leather and / or coated with one of the materials mentioned.

The enclosed partial area, in particular the frame or the handlebars, of the bicycle or scooter can thus be protected from damage, for example scratches or dents.

The above configurations and developments can be combined with one another as desired, provided that it makes sense. Further possible configurations, developments and implementations of the invention also include combinations, not explicitly mentioned, of features of the invention described above or below with regard to the exemplary embodiments. In particular, the person skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or additions to the respective basic form of the present invention.
