Abstract

Device comprises a metal case (1) with an entrance hall (2) access to which is controlled via a door (3) that is opened by use of a credit card type magnetic strip run through a reader. Within the hall (2) is a chip card reader (4), which allows selection of a bicycle, moped, etc. for hire. A turning plate (6) moves the bicycle before a further door (5) which allows removal of the bike, etc. The plate is turned by an electric motor, which causes the plate to rotate about its axle (7). Location of a number of such storage locations allows a subscriber to hire a product in one location and return it to another location.

Description

- DESCRIPTIF - La présente invention de ce procédé technologique, concerne un dispositif pour distribuer des véhicules deux roues à usage locatif vélos, VTT, VTC, vélos moteur . DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The present invention of this technological method relates to a device for distributing two-wheeled vehicles for renting bicycles, ATVs, VTCs and motor bicycles.

La location de vélos traditionnelle est effectuée avec une personne physique ayant un local ou un magasin de cycles, enfin un seul point de location ou il fallait retourner pour restituer les vélos et récupérer sa caution. The traditional bicycle rental is carried out with a natural person having a local or a shop of cycles, finally a single point of hiring or it was necessary to return to return the bicycles and to recover its deposit.

Grâce à cette invention et son procédé, nous apportons à l'utilisateur un service limité de ces contraintes par de multiples points fonctionnant avec une carte de crédit. Thanks to this invention and its method, we bring to the user a limited service of these constraints by multiple points operating with a credit card.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients, il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un caisson (1) présentant deux compartiments. The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages, it comprises in fact according to a first feature a box (1) having two compartments.

Le modèle de base :illustré par la figure 1 comprenant un hall (2) abritant un lecteur de carte à puce et un automate (4). The basic model: illustrated in Figure 1 comprising a hall (2) housing a smart card reader and a controller (4).

Dans le dispositif selon l'invention, le deuxième compartiment -est caractérisé par un système de distribution composé d'un plateau (6) tournant sur un axe central (7) monté sur roulement, tout l'ensemble est entraîné par un moteur variateur 8 couplé à l'axe à l'aide-d'une courroie cranté ou d'une crémaillère mécanique.  In the device according to the invention, the second compartment is characterized by a distribution system consisting of a plate (6) rotating on a central axis (7) mounted on a bearing, the whole assembly is driven by a drive motor 8 coupled to the axle by means of a notched belt or a mechanical rack.

Un système de verrouillage vient sécuriser le moüvementde@rotation de ce plateau (6). A locking system secures the moûvementde @ rotation of this plate (6).

Des composants électronique, des contacteurs ainsi que des cellules lumineuse permettent la gestion, langage avec l'automate et le cycle des . mouvements de distribution. Electronic components, contactors as well as light cells allow the management, language with the PLC and the cycle of. distribution movements.

J'ai voulu augmenter l'autonomie du modèle de base, en apportant un système de stockage illustrant l'invention, par loi figure 4 représente en coupe ce dispositif, la figure 3 la vue de dessus. I wanted to increase the autonomy of the basic model, by providing a storage system illustrating the invention, by law Figure 4 shows in section this device, Figure 3 the top view.

Cet étage de stockage est constitué d'un vérin linéaire (23) monté sur la poutre centrale de l'appareil (axe 22 ). This storage stage consists of a linear jack (23) mounted on the central beam of the apparatus (axis 22).

Sur ce vérin est fixé un bras manipulateur (19). On this jack is fixed a manipulator arm (19).

Son mouvement rotatif illustré par la figure 3 et 4., se fait grâce au moteur variateur et un pignon (21) sur l'axe, ce mode de manipulation permet d'équilibrer le nombre de vélos entre plateau mobile et étage fixe du stockage. Its rotary movement shown in Figure 3 and 4. is done through the drive motor and a pinion (21) on the axis, this handling mode balances the number of bicycles between movable platen and stationary stage storage.

La figure 3 illustre la vue de dessus du modèle de base en référence à ce dessin le dispositif comporte un caisson métallique (9) pour accéder dans le hall 10, nous présentons une carte à puce sur le boîtier (B 1) qui actionne la porte (3 ). FIG. 3 illustrates the top view of the basic model with reference to this drawing the device comprises a metal box (9) to access the hall 10, we present a smart card on the housing (B 1) which actuates the door (3).

Nous voici dans le hall devant le lecteur (11) après validation d'un code personnel, nous avons accès à la sélection du produit. La rotation du plateau vient présenter un vélo devant la porte (>). Here we are in the hall in front of the reader (11) after validation of a personal code, we have access to the selection of the product. The rotation of the plate comes to present a bicycle in front of the door (>).

Ce plateau (14) est en rotation sur l'axe (13) cet ensemble est entraîné par le,moteur variateur (15) ; ces mouvements sont commandés par les composants électroniques (16) ainsi que le verrouillage de sécurité (17) du plateau (14). This plate (14) is rotated on the axis (13) this assembly is driven by the drive motor (15); these movements are controlled by the electronic components (16) and the safety lock (17) of the plate (14).

Ces distributeurs seront en quelque sorte du mobilier implanté sur des zones urbaines et des sites touristiques, selon le site où ils sont installés, le décor et l'habillage seront différents. These distributors will be somehow furniture located in urban areas and tourist sites, depending on the site where they are installed, the decor and dressing will be different.

Ces appareils peuvent également servir de support publicitaire. These devices can also serve as an advertising medium.

Les dimensions pour le modèle de base sont 2,30 mètres pour la hauteur, 4,30 mètres pour la largeur et de 5,5 mètres pour sa longueur. The dimensions for the basic model are 2.30 meters for the height, 4.30 meters for the width and 5.5 meters for its length.

Je rajouterais 1 mètre environ sur la hauteur, pour le modèle équipé du stockage.I would add 1 meter on the height, for the model equipped with storage.
