DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for collecting and storing bicycles and the like, particularly for abandoned bicycles and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a monthly bicycle parking lot is provided in the vicinity of a station, and users such as bicycles used for commuting to work or going to school may naturally use the bicycle parking lot. The number of bicycle parking lots is still insufficient for the number, and many people avoid the bicycle parking lot because of the usage fee,
As a result, there was a problem that abandoned bicycles overflowed.

[0003] In view of the above, a staff member specified the date and time and place to visit the area around the station, and repeated the operation of loading and collecting abandoned bicycles one by one on a truck.

[0004]

At this time, since the bicycles which are left unattended are sequentially handled one by one, there is a problem that it takes a long time to work and a trouble in a storage process of the collected bicycles.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of efficiently collecting and storing bicycles and the like including a motorcycle.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an entrance and a storage shelf are provided facing an elevator car provided to be able to move up and down, and a pallet is transported between the entrance and the storage shelf via the elevator. The pallet is provided with a caster which rotates when moving on the ground on the back surface of the pallet, and a roller which is guided by a rail and rotates at both ends.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is an apparatus utilizing a pallet which is convenient for collecting and storing bicycles and the like.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the entire system according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a pallet according to the present invention, FIG.
4 is a side view showing a state where the pallet of FIG. 2 is loaded on a truck, FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a state where the pallet of FIG. 2 has arrived at the entrance of the bicycle parking device, and FIG. 5 is an arrow AA of FIG. FIG. 6 is a view showing a situation where pallets are stacked, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion P in FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a railway station, and 2 denotes a bicycle parking lot, which is constituted by a plurality of bicycle parking devices 3, for example. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pallet arranged at each station 1. A caster 14, a roller 15, and a projection 16 are provided below the pallet 10, and a hook hook 12 is provided above the pallet. On the pallet 10, for example, eleven bicycles 11 are stored.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a truck for transporting the pallets 10 equally for, for example, two machines, and is provided with a crane 21 for stacking and unloading the pallets 10. The pallet 10 can be moved by hooking the hook hook 12 of the pallet 10 by the crane 21. When the pallets 10 are stacked, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the protrusions 16 of the upper pallet 10 are arranged so as to fit into the recesses of the pillars 10 a of the lower pallet 10.

The truck 20 unloads an empty pallet at each station 1, loads a pallet, and circulates between the station 1 and the bicycle parking lot 2. After the bicycle 11 is stored in the pallet 10, the bicycle 11 is surrounded by a net 13 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 so that the bicycle 11 does not fall.

Then, the pallet 10 is stored in the bicycle parking device 3.
In the loading / unloading operation of the pallet, a caster 14 is provided on the back surface of the pallet 10 so that the pallet 10 can be moved by pressing the ground. Guided by the rail 30 provided and the rail 51 provided in the elevator car 50,
The elevator car 50 and the landing can be automatically or manually retracted or pulled out between the elevator car 50 and the landing. As a mechanism for automatically moving the pallet, a well-known pallet transport mechanism in an elevator parking system may be used as it is.

Although the embodiment describes a collection and storage system for abandoned bicycles, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is of course conceivable to use the system as a collection and storage system for rental bicycles that can be abandoned in front of stations or sightseeing spots. Things.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of bicycles and the like are not collected one by one but are collectively collected on a pallet, so that the efficiency is extremely high. Since the entry / exit processing can be directly performed on the apparatus, an apparatus with high work efficiency can be obtained throughout the entire system.
