Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot provided at a side of a road or at one corner of a plaza.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In today's automobile society, parking lots are provided in almost every place, and there are various forms. Some of the simplest parking lots are located on the side of the road or in the corner of a plaza, but this kind of parking lot device allows a car to be put in a predetermined place and at the same time a predetermined time has passed since the car was put in again. After the lapse of time, the car cannot be taken out without paying a fee.

[0003] In this kind of parking lot device, there is a case where a pole stands at the entrance or a shield plate stands between the front and rear wheels so that the entered car cannot be taken out without settlement. These poles and shields are designed to descend by paying for the parking fee. By the way, in a parking lot where a pole stands up at the entrance, a pole must be provided at a position where the pole does not hit the car with the car inserted, and therefore the space required for stopping one car is required. Is relatively large.

[0004] On the other hand, in the case of a parking lot in which a shield plate stands up between the front and rear wheels, there is a case where the driver gets on the shield plate without paying the fare. Particularly in the case of a four-wheel drive vehicle that has become popular in recent years, it is easy to get over a standing shield plate because the wheels are large and the bottom of the vehicle body is high. There is a problem in that a heavy vehicle rides on the standing shield plate, thereby damaging the standing drive device, and increasing the manufacturing cost to achieve a robust structure that does not cause damage.

[0005]

As described above, the conventional parking system has the above-mentioned problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and is intended for a parking lot device of a type in which a shielding plate is erected between front and rear wheels, and gets out of a vehicle over a standing shielding plate without adjusting a fee. To provide a parking device that can not do.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A parking lot apparatus according to the present invention comprises:
If the car is parked in a predetermined place, the shield plate stands up, and if a fee is charged for settlement, the shield plate falls down and the car can exit. This basic structure is the same as a conventional parking lot device. However, according to the present invention, the shielding plate is divided into two pieces, which are attached to the horizontal axis together, and can be swung so as to fall or stand up. The central side of the shielding plate is fixed to a horizontal shaft, and the outer shielding plate is pivotally supported and swings independently, and is connected to the central shielding plate via a spring.

[0007] Accordingly, the central shielding plate rises by the rotation of the horizontal axis, and the outer shielding plate also follows and rises accordingly. The standing shield plate cannot fall unless the horizontal axis rotates in the reverse direction, but the shield plate located outside can fall alone. Of course, when the central shielding plate falls, the outer shielding plate also falls. The spring interposed between the two shielding plates exerts a spring force to always raise the outer shielding plate, but a stopper is provided so as not to rise from the center shielding plate. However, the position of the attached spring is not particularly limited.

By the way, when no car is in the vehicle (in an empty state), both the shield plates are down, and when the vehicle enters, the shield plates stand up. In this case, the shield stands up at an inclination angle that does not touch the bottom of the car, and if the parking fee is charged and the payment is made, both shield plates fall down. However, if the driver tries to leave the vehicle without paying a fee, the outer shielding plate on which the wheels pass will fall down, and only the central shielding plate will be in an upright state.
Therefore, when the vehicle is to be taken out with the shield plate on the center side standing up, the shield plate hits the bottom of the vehicle and the vehicle is damaged.

The driving device for raising the shielding plate is not particularly limited, and a conventionally used driving device can be used. Generally, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a DC motor, a torque motor, etc. are used.For example, in the case of a torque motor, a screw screw is rotated, and a slider screwed to the screw screw is moved with the rotation. The arm is swung, and this arm axis becomes the horizontal axis on which the shielding plate is mounted. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows shielding plates 1a and 1b. Both shielding plates 1a and 1b are mounted on a horizontal shaft 2 and can be raised or fall down by rotating the horizontal shaft. One shield plate 1a is fixed to the horizontal shaft 2 and swings with the rotation of the horizontal shaft 2, while the other outer shield plate 1b is supported by the horizontal shaft 2 and can swing independently. . Therefore, the shielding plate 1b can swing without the horizontal shaft 2 rotating. A gap 3 is provided between the shielding plates 1a and 1b, and a spring 4 is interposed in the gap 3.

The spring 4 urges the spring force so that the shield plate 1b always stands up. The spring 4 has arms 5a and 5b with both ends of the coil spring greatly extended, and one arm 5a is attached to the shield plate 1a. The other arm 5b is locked to the shielding plate 1b. Therefore, the standing shield plate 1b can swing and fall independently, but at this time, the spring 4 is further twisted. Further, the shielding plate 1a has a stopper 6 and extends toward the other shielding plate 1b. As a result, only the shielding plate 1b does not rise from the shielding plate 1a due to the spring force. The shielding plate 1b only stands up following the shielding plate 1a, but if it falls down, the shielding plate 1b operates alone.

Incidentally, the horizontal shaft 2 is rotated by an upright driving device, and FIG. 2 shows a specific example of the upright driving device. The upright driving device is provided with a torque motor 7, and the screw shaft 8 is rotated by the torque motor 7, and a slider 10 having a nut 9 screwed with the screw shaft 8 can move along the screw shaft 8. I can do it. The slider 10 is guided by a guide groove formed in the frame 11, and the slider 10 can press a pressing member 12 shaped like a letter.

The guide rod 13 of the pressing member 12 moves along the same guide groove as the slider 10, and the tip is connected to the swing arm 14. The shaft 15 of the swing arm 14 is the horizontal shaft 2 to which the shielding plates 1a and 1b are attached, and is connected to the horizontal shaft 2. In FIG.
If the arm moves rightward with the rotation of the screw shaft 8, the swing arm 14 rotates clockwise and the shield plate 1 rotates.
Erect. Conversely, if the slider moves to the left, the swing arm 14 rotates counterclockwise and the shielding plate 1 falls.

Here, the guide bar 13 of the pressing member 12 is pulled by the coil spring 16 so as not to separate from the slider 10. And the slider 10 is the coil spring 1
Are provided, and when an unreasonable load acts on the shielding plate 1, the coil springs 17, 17 ... are compressed and deformed.

FIG. 3 shows the operation of the parking lot apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 3 (a) shows an empty state where no car is present, and FIG.
The two shielding plates 1a and 1b are both lying down. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes a checkout machine, on which a parking fee is displayed and a fee input port is provided. (B) shows a state where a car enters a predetermined place and is parked. When the car enters,
The sensor senses, and the shielding plates 1a and 1b stand together. The shielding plates 1a and 1b are attached to the horizontal shaft 2 and stand up by rotation of the horizontal shaft 2. However, since the horizontal shaft 2 is driven by the torque motor 7, the shielding plates 1a and 1b Then, the vehicle stops at the same time as it comes into contact with the vehicle body, and is slightly inclined from that state to provide a clearance between the vehicle body and the vehicle body and stop.

Therefore, if the vehicle is moved with the shielding plates 1a and 1b standing up, it will hit the vehicle body bottom and be damaged. (C) is a case where a car is paid out and a car is paid out.
a and 1b fall down and can get out of the parking lot without any trouble. On the other hand, (d) shows a case where the driver tries to leave the car from the parking lot without adjusting the fee, but both the shield plates 1a and 1b remain upright.

However, the outer shielding plate 1b can fall down alone and fall down as shown in the figure when the wheels hit, leaving only the central shielding plate standing upright. If the wheel rides on the shield plate 1b, the upper ends of the shield plates 1a and 1b can come out without hitting the bottom of the vehicle body, but the vehicle body moves without being lifted by the fall of the outer shield plate 1b, and as a result, The vehicle body bottom is damaged by hitting the central shielding plate 1a.

As described above, in the parking lot apparatus of the present invention, the shield plate standing between the front and rear wheels is separated, and the outer shield plate is attached to the horizontal axis so that it falls down alone. Such effects can be obtained.

[0019]

According to the parking lot apparatus of the present invention, when the vehicle enters a predetermined place, the two shielding plates stand together, and when the vehicle is going to go out without adjusting the fee, one of the shielding plates is used. Since the outer shielding plate is tilted by the wheels and the vehicle body moves without rising, the vehicle is damaged by hitting the standing central shielding plate. Therefore, there is a great effect in preventing use of the parking lot without paying the fee. Further, since the car does not ride on the standing shield plate, the strength of the standing drive device does not need to be able to withstand the weight of the vehicle body, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
