Description

technical field

The present invention relates to a two-wheeler parking garage according to the claims.

State of the art

Two-wheeler parking garages are known in the art, in this regard is on the DE 295 14 276 U1 and the DE 20 2011 110 432 U1 referred.

object of the invention

The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, an improved two-wheeler parking garage is to be provided.

solution of the task

The features of claim 1 solve the problem. Advantageous configurations are described in the dependent claims.

A two-wheeler parking garage according to the invention includes a door for putting in and removing two-wheelers and a roundabout in its interior. The roundabout includes a large number of parking bays for two-wheelers. The two-wheeler parking garage also includes a lattice structure, which encloses an interior space of the two-wheeler parking garage, and a wall, which encloses the lattice structure. The wall therefore preferably surrounds the lattice structure; it can also abut or lie on the lattice structure or be attached to it.

The two-wheeler parking garage is, in particular, a bicycle parking garage. Preferably, the bicycle parking garage therefore essentially has the dimensions of such two-wheeler parking garages known from the prior art, such as those shown in FIG DE 295 14 276 U1 and the DE 20 2011 110 432 U1 can be found.

The two-wheeler parking garage can also be designed as an e-scooter parking garage. Furthermore, it can be considered that bicycles or e-scooters can be parked in the parking bays described below.

The two-wheeler parking garage according to the invention thus creates in particular a secure parking space for bicycles and e-scooters that cannot be looked into. The two-wheeler car park protects the two-wheelers parked there against theft, vandalism and the weather.

In the context of the present invention, the term "bicycle" is understood to mean bicycles operated purely by muscle power without an auxiliary motor, as well as e-bikes, pedelecs and the like.

Within the scope of the present invention, a door for loading and unloading two-wheelers is understood to mean any hatch or closable opening which is suitable for loading and unloading two-wheelers.

The roundabout is preferably rotatable.

The roundel is preferably rotationally symmetrical. The rondel can also be centered on a thrust bearing and bolted to the floor by means of a mounting flange.

The two-wheeler parking garage can include a control device that controls the rotation of the carousel and the opening and closing of the door. Once a user's desired parking bay is correctly located by rotating the rondel relative to the door, the door can open to allow a bicycle to be loaded or unloaded.

The door can be electrically and electronically secured several times, which can serve, among other things, to minimize the risk of accidents or to prevent accidents.

The roundabout can be set up to rotate only 180°, but in both directions of rotation. Since a rotation of more than 180° is thus never necessary for loading or removing a bicycle, the waiting time for a user who is waiting during such a rotation of the roundabout is also minimized.

It can be envisaged that after a bicycle has been removed or set in place, the roundabout should always be brought into a predefined rotational position, ie rotated to a predefined starting point.

The parking bays preferably have a substantially triangular floor plan, as is the case, for example, in FIG DE 295 14 276 U1 and the DE 20 2011 110 432 U1 is shown. Individual parking bays can be shielded from each other by partitions. In this way, a user who parks his two-wheeler in one of the parking bays does not see whether and which two-wheeler(s) are parked in the other parking bays. The partition walls can be made of fireproof screen-printed panels and extend to just below the ceiling of the two-wheeler parking garage in order to prevent climbing over or even just looking from one parking bay to an adjacent parking bay. Preferably, the idea is to equip the two-wheeler parking garage with twelve parking bays. However, a different number of parking bays can also be considered, for example eight, nine, ten, eleven or thirteen parking bays.

The lattice structure can surround the interior of the two-wheeler parking garage, as in the prior art for the protective walls or outer walls, for example in DE 295 14 276 U1 and the DE 20 2011 110 432 U1 is shown. However, the lattice structure preferably forms a rectangle, in particular a square, which encloses the interior space and thus in particular the rondel. In contrast to known round outer walls, a rectangular lattice structure is very easy to produce and also allows the two-wheeler parking garage to be assembled quickly and easily.

The lattice structure can be manufactured in a segmented design, with four wall segments preferably being connected to one another to form a square. Furthermore, a ceiling segment and a base plate can be provided, which can, however, also be designed differently than the wall segments. If the lattice structure is manufactured in segments, four, five or six separate segments for the walls and optionally the floor and/or the roof of the two-wheeler parking garage are preferably assembled. The two-wheeler parking garage can also consist of six segments.

The individual segments can be screwed together in the assembled state.

Preferably, the dimensions of the rondel and the square lattice structure are chosen such that the shortest distances between the rondel and the lattice structure are in the range of a few centimeters or a maximum of a few decimeters, preferably in the range of a maximum of two decimeters. In this way, a space-saving two-wheeler parking garage is made available.

In contrast to known one-part or single-layer protective or outer walls, the lattice structure and the wall surrounding it form a two-part or two-layer outer wall. The lattice structure is designed to ensure the highest possible protection against burglary or theft, while the wall only has to provide protection against environmental influences and privacy. The wall can be easily replaced if necessary, e.g. after vandalism. Even if the grid structure is superficially damaged in the event of vandalism or an attempted break-in, no repairs are usually necessary. After all, the lattice structure is not visible from the outside after the repair or the renewed attachment of the wall and any superficial damage to the otherwise intact lattice structure does not impair the appearance of the two-wheeler parking garage.

The wall is preferably opaque and is made, for example, from inexpensive sheet metal. This has the advantage that the stored two-wheelers are hidden from view and potential thieves do not know in which parking bay a two-wheeler is located. Because it is made from an inexpensive material, the wall can be replaced or repaired just as inexpensively if necessary. The sheet metal can be coated, in particular it can be a colored coated sheet metal.

The sheet metal can be designed in such a way that the two-wheeler parking garage adapts as well as possible to its surroundings or the landscape in general. Furthermore, the sheet metal can serve as a privacy screen.

The outer surfaces of the wall can be used as advertising space.

The wall can be connected to the lattice structure in any way, for example by riveting, screwing, welding, etc.

The division of the otherwise usual wall of two-wheeler parking garages into a lattice structure serving to protect against theft and burglary and an easily replaceable, inexpensive wall that characterizes the visual appearance of the two-wheeler parking garage is particularly advantageous for the reasons described above.

The lattice structure can be formed from lattice bars. In this case, bars of any desired cross-section can be considered, for example those with a round, square, triangular or rectangular cross-section. Grid bars with a square cross-section are preferred. The lattice bars can also be profiled bars. In order to ensure the highest possible security against burglary, the bars should not be able to be severed even with simple portable tools such as bolt cutters. Depending on the material and design of the bars, this generally applies to metal bars with a diameter or an edge length of at least 10 millimeters. The diameter or the edge length of the grid bars is preferably more than 10 millimeters, more preferably more than 15 millimeters, even more preferably more than 20 millimeters and even more preferably more than 30 millimeters. Diameters or edge lengths of at least 40 or at least 50 millimeters are also preferred.

The lattice bars preferably form openings. These openings are preferably sized so that an isosceles triangle with a base 60 centimeters (cm) long and a height of 90 centimeters (cm) will not fit. Bicycles, in particular bicycles of conventional construction for adults, do not fit through openings of these dimensions. A thief who destroys and removes the wall and then tries to steal a bicycle from one of the parking bays by pulling it through the grid by hand must therefore fail.

The height of the triangle is measured at right angles from the base to the tip, i.e. the corner of the triangle enclosed by the legs. In particular, the openings can be square or rectangular.

The length of a diagonal of the openings formed by the bars is preferably between 30 and 90 centimeters.

If the parking garage is designed as an e-scooter parking garage, the openings can be selected to be correspondingly smaller. Here, for example, openings with a diagonal of less than 35 centimeters, preferably less than 30 centimeters and even more preferably less than 25 centimeters come into consideration.

With a diagonal of 90 centimetres, even youth bikes of normal size cannot go through the openings after the walls have been removed by force. At the same time, openings with a diagonal of at least 30 centimeters are so coarse-meshed that the material and work required for manufacture and assembly is kept within acceptable limits.

Of course, not all openings in the two-wheeler parking garage have to be the same size. It is essential to dimension the openings in such a way that no two-wheeler, in particular no bicycle, can fit through. Depending on the construction, there will also be occasional openings with a very small area and diagonal, for example at the corners of lattice segments.

The bars can be partially or fully made of wood, stone, plastic or metal. Partly here means that, for example, composite materials or composite materials should also be included. Of course, the bars can also be made of an alloy. The grid bars are preferably made of metal, particularly preferably of aluminum or stainless steel or generally of stainless steel.

The door can be a single-leaf sliding door. The advantage of such a door compared to a double-leaf sliding door, which is known from passenger elevators, is that single-leaf sliding doors cannot simply be pried open with a crowbar or the like. The single-leaf sliding door is preferably linearly guided.

Such a sliding door offers high burglary and theft security.

Such a sliding door opens and closes without the user having to do anything, and thus allows a bicycle to be inserted or removed in a simple manner. The user does not have to hold a door open by hand while maneuvering his two-wheeler.

Furthermore, within the scope of the present invention it can be thought of setting up the two-wheeler parking garage in public places such as train stations or the like, and access control via a card reader for cards for electronic payment (e.g. so-called EC cards or Girocards), a contactless access system, keys, to enable a smartphone application ("App") or the like. The payment or identification process via such a system known from the prior art can open the sliding door.

If, in addition to the door, which is preferably designed as a single-leaf sliding door as described above, the two-wheeler parking garage includes other entrances, for example emergency entrances or exits, inspection hatches or the like, then such entrances are preferably security doors.

The roundabout is preferably rotated by a drive unit, which includes a gear in addition to a motor. The gearing is preferably set up to prevent unwanted manual turning of the roundabout. This is done in a known manner in that the gear is constructed in such a way that the usual force that can be applied by one or more people is not sufficient to turn the roundabout by hand and thereby overcome the locking effect of the gear.

It can be considered to use a drive motor as the drive unit, with this drive unit being mounted directly on a shaft of the roundabout, so that no belt is required to turn the roundabout.

The lattice structure can form a rectangle, preferably a square, enclosing the rondel. The same applies preferably to the wall, which encompasses the lattice structure and preferably leans or nestles directly against it. In contrast to the known circular walls of two-wheeler parking garages from the prior art, square lattice structures can be formed in a simple manner from four lattice segments, which serve as wall segments. Manufacture and assembly of such grid segments are very simple.

The two-wheeler car park can be equipped with charging stations for electrically operated two-wheelers such as e-scooters and/or e-bikes. Each individual parking bay is preferably equipped with a charging station for e-bikes and/or e-scooters.

The charging station and/or the described device for access control can at least partially cover their energy requirements from a photovoltaic system mounted on the roof of the two-wheeler parking garage.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawings.

• 1a shows schematically a bicycle 1 with handlebars 2, handlebars 4 and front wheel 3.
• 1b shows an isosceles triangle 5 enveloping the bicycle 1 with a base 7.
• 2a shows two bicycles 1 behind two openings 6 formed by bars (not shown separately).
• 2 B shows the triangle 5 according to 1b and one of the openings 6 according to FIG 2a .
• 3 shows a sectional top view of a two-wheeler parking garage 11 with indicated lattice structures 8, a roundabout 9 with parking bays and a single-leaf sliding door 10 and a wall 12. Although in 3 Eight parking bays are shown, the present invention naturally also includes two-wheeler parking garages 11 with a different number of parking bays, for example with six, ten or in particular with twelve parking bays. It can also be considered to use an odd number of parking bays.

example

From the 1a and 1b shows that an effective cross section of a bicycle 1 can essentially be described as an isosceles triangle 5 . A length of the handlebar 2 forms the base 7 of the triangle 5 and the height of the triangle results from the maximum distance between the front wheel 3 and the handlebar 2 , measured orthogonally to the handlebar 2 .

Out of 2a shows that if the bars and thus the openings 6 are dimensioned appropriately, bicycles 1 can be prevented from being stolen by being removed from the two-wheeler parking garage 11 through the openings 6 .

Out of 2 B shows that the triangle 5 allows a reliable assessment of whether a bicycle fits through an opening 6. The question of whether such a triangle 5 fits into the area formed by the opening 6 can therefore be used, as described in the context of the present invention, to design a theft-proof two-wheeler parking garage 11 .

Out of 3 shows that the sliding door 10 is hidden in the closed state behind the associated door opening in the lattice structure 8 that prying open from the outside is impossible or at least very difficult. For this purpose, the door 10 is preferably, as in 3 shown schematically, wider than the associated doorway.
