Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for parking bicycles, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices for parking bicycles are generally known and are used for parking bicycles at, for example, train and underground stations, apartment buildings, schools, office buildings and other public areas.
  • DE-C-4 237 042 discloses a bicycle shed with a rotary cross which can rotate about a horizontal axis.
  • the rotary cross has four bicycle parking elements, which are oriented perpendicular with respect to the axis and are in the form of elongate channels in which the bicycles can be secured by means of clamps, which lock their wheels.
  • the bicycles, which have been placed in the bicycle shed are oriented in the longitudinal direction with the front wheels towards the axis of rotation.
  • the rotary cross is partially positioned below ground level, in order to provide simple access to the bicycle parking locations.
  • DE-A-195 45 816 discloses a different bicycle shed with a cylindrical drum which can rotate about a horizontal axis of rotation.
  • the drum has a plurality of bicycle parking elements which are designed in such a manner that the longitudinal axis of the bicycles which have been placed in the bicycle shed is arranged substantially in the circumferential direction of the drum.
  • a plurality of drums can be arranged coaxially one behind the other in order to increase the capacity of the bicycle shed.
  • the drum is positioned partially below ground level.
  • WO 84/02895 discloses a storage structure suitable to store bicycles.
  • the object of the present invention is first to provide a device for parking bicycles which provides a high parking capacity in relation to a small ground surface required.
  • a further purpose is to provide a parking device in which the bicycles can be parked safe and without the risk of damage to the bicycles.
  • the invention achieves the first mentioned object by providing a bicycle parking device according to claim 1.
  • This arrangement results in a highly advantageous utilization of the ground surface which is required for the bicycle shed, in contrast to the known bicycle sheds.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device 1 for parking bicycles 50, which comprises an inner wheel 3 and an outer wheel 4, which in this case are arranged in a housing 2.
  • the wheels 3, 4 can rotate about a common, substantially horizontal axis of rotation 51.
  • the wheels 3, 4 are arranged concentrically with respect to one another and can rotate in both directions independently of one another.
  • the concentric arrangement makes optimum use of the space which the wheels 3, 4 take up. The fact that they can rotate independently of one another contributes to rapid access to the bicycles 50 which are parked in the wheels 3, 4.
  • Each wheel 3, 4 is provided around its circumference with a plurality of bicycle parking elements 6, 7, which are each designed to accommodate a single bicycle 50.
  • the parking elements 6, 7 are substantially elongate, corresponding to the shape of a bicycle, and are arranged in such a manner that the longitudinal axis of a bicycle parking element 6, 7 is oriented substantially parallel to the axis of rotation 51. Consequently, a large number of bicycles 50 can be positioned closely adjacent to one another in a wheel 3, 4, with minimal space between the bicycles.
  • the outer wheel 4 has 60 bicycle parking elements and the inner wheel 3 has 40 bicycle parking elements.
  • the outer wheel can have a diameter of about 9 metres and the inner wheel can have a diameter of about 6 metres.
  • the device 1 has an access ramp 60, 61 in order to reach the bicycle parking elements 6, 7.
  • Each bicycle parking element 6, 7 forms an elongate space for accommodating a single bicycle and is at least partially delimited by a base surface 10 and side walls 11. Furthermore, in this example each bicycle parking element has an open front side and, opposite this side, a rear wall, as well as a ceiling opposite the base. In the design shown, the base surface 10 is directed towards the axis of rotation 51 and the side walls 11 are directed outwards from the base 10.
  • the side walls 11 of adjacent bicycle parking elements 6, 7 may also comprise one common wall and serve substantially to prevent unauthorized access to an adjacent bicycle parking element 6, 7.
  • the bicycle parking elements 6, 7 are rigidly connected to the corresponding wheel 3, 4, with the result that the bicycle parking elements 6, 7 maintain the same orientation with respect to the wheels 3, 4 irrespective of the position of the wheels 3, 4. Consequently, when a wheel 3, 4 rotates, the bicycles which are parked therein rest upside down at the bottom of the wheel 3, 4.
  • the rigidly arranged bicycle parking elements 6, 7 enable the wheels 3, 4 to be of simple and stable design requiring little maintenance.
  • the wheels 3, 4 are in this case assembled from, for example, three or four connectable curved segments. This enables the curved segments to be delivered to the construction site.
  • the side walls of the housing 2 it is also possible for the side walls of the housing 2 to be joined together in the centre of the housing, for example by means of a substantially cylindrical wall 130 which encloses a central space 12.
  • adjacent bicycle parking elements 6, 7 may be staggered in the longitudinal direction with respect to one another. This embodiment too aims to allow the bicycles to be positioned more densely.
  • each bicycle parking element 6, 7 The base surface 10 and the side walls 11 of each bicycle parking element 6, 7 are formed in such a manner that a bicycle 50 is prevented from coming out of the interior of the bicycle parking element 6, 7.
  • Fig. 2 shows entrances 13, 14 which each belong to one of the wheels 3, 4 and are provided with a door 23, 24 or other type of closure. These entrances 13, 14 are arranged in a fixed position with respect to or in the housing 2, which in this case is made of concrete or concrete elements. Via each of the entrances 13, 14 it is possible to obtain access to the bicycle parking element 6, 7 of the wheel 3, 4 which is present at that location, these elements in this case being designed with an open front side.
  • each bicycle parking element 6, 7 may be separately provided with its own closeable entrance door, in which case the doors 23, 24 could be dispensed with.
  • each bicycle parking element 6, 7 is only accessible on one side, although it is also conceivable for the bicycle to be taken in and removed on opposite sides of each wheel.
  • the entrances 13, 14 are positioned substantially vertically above the axis of rotation 51, so that the bicycles 50 can be placed in a vertical position in a bicycle parking element 6, 7.
  • the entrances 13, 14 are of substantially the same dimensions as the surface area of the front side of the bicycle parking elements 6, 7 which interact with the entrances 13, 14. This makes it impossible to gain unauthorized access to an adjoining bicycle parking element 6, 7.
  • the parking device 1 furthermore comprises a control unit 140, which is diagrammatically indicated in Figure 5 and controls a drive device 5 for driving the wheels 3, 4, for example via drive belts 8, 9 which are connected to drive rollers 15, 16. Other forms of drive are equally possible.
  • the transmission of the drive device 5 may be of self-locking design, so that a wheel 3, 4 does not begin to rotate when a bicycle 50 is being placed in a bicycle parking element 6, 7 as a result of the weight of the user and/or the bicycle 50.
  • the drive device 5 may be accommodated in the central space 12 surrounded by the inner wheel 3, so that the volume of the device is utilized optimally.
  • the control unit 140 is used to control the drive 5 which, on the basis of a suitable command, rotates a wheel 3, 4 in order to position the desired bicycle parking element 6, 7 in front of the associated entrance 13, 14.
  • the control unit 140 seeks to achieve a minimum disruption to balance by distributing the bicycles uniformly over the circumference of the wheels 3, 4 when the bicycles are being placed in the parking device 1. This results in a smaller and therefore less expensive drive.
  • the control unit 140 also actuates the locking and unlocking of the doors 23, 24 of the entrances 13, 14.
  • the control unit 140 also locks the wheels 3, 4 when the associated entrance 13, 14 is open, so that unauthorized access to the bicycles is prevented and the wheel 3, 4 is also prevented from rotating when the door is open.
  • the control unit 140 can actuate an alarm which is activated in the event of unauthorized opening of the entrance 13, 14.
  • the control unit 140 contains detection means 40 which detect the presence of a person in a bicycle parking element 6, 7, for example using infrared detection. This ensures that the entrance doors 23, 24 are only locked if it is certain that there is no one in the bicycle parking element 6, 7.
  • the housing 2 is positioned partly below ground level and, in that section, is designed without openings, making the housing 2 liquid-tight in the section which is positioned below ground level. Consequently, it is possible, for example, to submerge the parking device 1 in water, for example in a canal or river. This has the advantage that hitherto unused area or empty space, for example in town centres, can be efficiently utilized without having an adverse effect on the infrastructure.
  • the housing 2 can be positioned so far below ground level that the axis of rotation 51 is located below ground level.
  • the entrances 13, 14 at the top side are located approximately at ground level, so that the access paths 60, 61 do not need any steep inclines or steps.
  • the bicycle parking device 1 according to the invention is also aesthetically attractive.
  • the parking device 1 does not have to project far above ground level, so that it can be virtually out of sight.
  • ballast elements 17 are accommodated in the housing 2.
  • the housing 2 may also be positioned on piles.
  • the parking device 1 it is possible for the parking device 1 to be provided with float elements. In this context, consideration may be given, for example, to a pontoon on which the bicycle parking device 1 is positioned and which floats, for example, in the canal.
  • Each wheel 3, 4 hangs from two associated bearing rollers 45, 46 which are attached to the housing 2. These bearing rollers 45, 46 are located above the axis of rotation 51, in the vicinity of the top side of the inner circumference of each wheel 3, 4, so that compressive loads are avoided as far as possible in the construction of the wheel 3, 4.
  • the bearing rollers 45, 46 may also form part of the drive of the wheels 3, 4.
  • the said bearing frame, together with the wheels 3, 4 positioned therein, may be removed entirely from the housing 2, for example using a crane.
  • the axis of rotation 51 of the wheels 3, 4 forms a slight angle with the horizontal plane, with the result that the bicycles can easily be placed into the bicycle parking elements 6, 7 under the force of gravity. This effect is obtained here by making the base surface 10 of a parking element 6, 7 slope downwards at a slight angle.
  • the parking device 1 is positioned substantially below ground level.
  • a device 1 of this nature may, for example, also be used in an apartment building, in which case the device 1 is located entirely above ground level. Consequently, the entrances 13, 14 will be positioned on the underside. It follows from this that bicycles are arranged radially around the axis of rotation 51, but with the wheels directed outwards.
  • Fig. 2 shows a vertical cross section through the parking device 1, with a number of bicycles 50 positioned in the bicycle parking elements 6, 7.
  • Bicycle parking element 6, belonging to the inner wheel 3, is the bicycle parking element whose base surface 10 is positioned closest to the axis 51 (cf. also Fig. 1).
  • bicycle parking elements 7 which have a base surface 10 which lies further away from the axis 51.
  • the base surface 10 is arranged parallel to the axis 51. In an alternative embodiment, this surface may also be arranged so that it slopes down from the entrance 13, 14. In this case, when a bicycle is being placed in the bicycle parking element 6, the bicycle will roll as far as possible towards the rear wall of the bicycle parking element 6 under the force of gravity.
  • a user wishing to park his bicycle will, for example, proceed along access path 60 to the entrance door 23 of the parking device 1, after which the control unit 140 actuates the drive device 5 in such a manner that the wheel 3 rotates about the axis of rotation 51 and a free bicycle parking element 6, 7 is positioned in front of the entrance 13, after which the user can open the entrance door 23 and park his bicycle.
  • a locking means (not shown) will remain actuated, locking the wheel 3.
  • This locking means may, for example, be in the form of a pin which projects into a recess in the wheel (not shown).
  • the user parks his bicycle in the bicycle parking element 6, after which the entrance door 23 is closed.
