Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking device having a locking means for a wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle, and is particularly characterized in that it is provided with a biasing means for naturally shifting the wheel to the locking means. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Two-wheeled vehicle parking storage facilities include a two-wheeled vehicle self-supporting parking port provided with a roof supported by stanchions in a parking space made of concrete, and both front portions of a rail member whose rear end is open. There is proposed a parking space in which a wheel support frame is erected, and a parking space that secures the parking space by using a two-tiered structure. As for the upper and lower two-stage type structure, for example, there is a lower parking space, and the upper stage is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable and slidable with respect to the upper parking storage member whose one end is attached to the pillar. A movable rail member and an upper parking table composed of a movable rail member. The movable rail member is pulled out from the upper parking storage member while being tilted downward and held at a predetermined angle while the motorcycle is mounted on the slope-shaped movable rail member. The front wheel is lifted and placed, and the rear wheel of the motorcycle is pushed up onto the movable rail member, then the end of the movable rail member is lifted in a horizontal state and inserted into the upper parking storage member. A parking device for parking a motorcycle on a parking table has been put into practical use.

In particular, in order to park a two-wheeled vehicle in a parking space in which wheel support frames are provided upright on both sides of the front portion of a rail member whose rear end portion is open, the two-wheel vehicle is inserted from the rear end portion of the rail member. Then, the wheels are fitted into the rail member and the parking is completed. In the case of a two-tiered structure, the movable rail member is pulled out from the upper parking storage member and inclined to form a slope, and the two-wheeled vehicle is inserted into the movable rail member from the front end of the movable rail member through its front wheel. The front wheels are fitted in the rail member, and the rear wheels are fitted while pushing up the two-wheeled vehicle on the slope-shaped movable rail member. After that, the movable rail member is raised horizontally and inserted into the upper parking storage member to complete parking. The rear end of the rail member is the end facing the aisle on the side where the two-wheeled vehicle is taken in and out, and the end of the two-wheeled vehicle when the two-wheeled vehicle is introduced deep into the rail member. We will call it the front end.

When a motorcycle is parked in a parking space in which wheel support frames are erected on both sides of the front portion of the rail member whose rear end portion is open, or when the motorcycle is parked in the upper or lower tier of a two-tiered parking facility. When doing so, the lock at the front wheel is mainly locked after parking. Further, prior to leaving the two-wheeled vehicle, the lock is removed and the two-wheeled vehicle is pulled out to the aisle side. However, there is also a demand for fixing the two-wheeled vehicle to the rail member itself, and if a locking means is attached to the front part of the rail member and the two-wheeled vehicle that has entered from the rear end of the rail member reaches the locking means. The locking means mainly fixes the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle. Since the locking means must be unlocked to take out the motorcycle, it is impossible to take the motorcycle out of the rail member until then.

The locking means may be one that locks by inserting a perforated rod between the spokes of the wheels, or one that grips and locks the required parts of the wheel or vehicle body (handle, saddle post, upper frame, etc.). Is used. In addition, it is common to manually unlock and unlock, or to electrically operate a solenoid to unlock. The latter has the advantage that a mechanism for remote operation can be easily configured.

[0006]

In order to fix the two-wheeled vehicle to the parking device by such locking means, the two-wheeled vehicle is properly introduced deep into the rail member, and the required portions of the wheels and the vehicle body are locked by the locking means. You have to bring it to the possible position. However, when you are busy, such as during commuting hours, the parking operation is neglected too quickly and you cannot guide the required parts of the wheel or vehicle body to the locking means, or the reaction that led to the locking means once. There is a problem that the motorcycle returns to the exit direction, leaving the place without being locked properly.

Alternatively, for the purpose of preventing theft of a parked two-wheeled vehicle or preventing nonpayment of parking in a chargeable parking lot, the wheels of the parked two-wheeled vehicle are locked to allow a legitimate user. There is a parking facility that is only allowed to leave. Even with such a type of parking device, there is a problem that it is not properly locked during parking (in some cases, it may not be locked intentionally, and in other cases, it may not be intentionally locked to perform nonpayment parking).

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been made in such a case that the parking operation is neglected and the necessary parts of the wheel or the vehicle body cannot be fully guided to the locking means.
Before reaching the locking means to prevent intentional locking,
Even if the introduction of a motorcycle is stopped, it is possible to provide a parking device for a motorcycle that automatically guides a required portion of a wheel or a vehicle body to the locking means and locks it securely. Is an issue.

[0009]

Means and Actions for Solving the Problems The above-mentioned problems have been sent by the urging means provided on the guide member for guiding the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle with the urging means for urging the two-wheeled vehicle in the parking direction. The present invention is achieved by providing a two-wheeled vehicle parking device characterized by comprising locking means for preventing the two-wheeled vehicle from leaving the garage.

Although the locking means is for preventing the two-wheeled vehicle from leaving, the locking means does not operate unless the two-wheeled vehicle is properly introduced to this locking means. However, according to the parking apparatus of the present invention, since the biasing means for biasing the two-wheeled vehicle in the parking direction is provided, the two-wheeled vehicle can be automatically and reliably guided to the locking means.

The urging means may be over a mountain provided on the floor of the guide member. When the two-wheeled vehicle advances on the guide member and reaches this mountain, it is sufficient to apply a little force so that the wheel can cross this mountain. When the wheel is crossed, the wheel descends toward the locking means, so that the wheel is automatically guided to the guide member. In addition,
Even if there is a case where the introduction of the motorcycle is stopped before reaching the locking means because it is not intentionally locked, the wheel crossing is provided at an appropriate position on the guide member so that the wheel is automatically moved. It can guide to the guide member. When the wheel is in front of crossing this mountain,
The above-mentioned mountain crossing may be provided at a position where the two-wheeled vehicle is protruding to the aisle side of the parking lot and obstructs traffic.

Further, the mountain crossing may be a slope. It may be designed so that the wheels can naturally go down the ramp to reach the locking means.

The mountain crossing may be a large roller. Pushing the motorcycle and letting the wheels pass over this roller is not so painful because the roller itself rotates. If the wheels cross this roller,
The rotation of the rollers also helps the wheels naturally reach the locking means. The wheels do not move unintentionally in the exit direction. It is also possible to mount a large roller on the guide member so that when the wheel is in front of this roller, the two-wheeled vehicle is protruding to the aisle side of the parking lot and is an obstacle to traffic in the aisle.

Next, the urging means may be a descending step portion of the guide member. The guide member is provided with a stepped portion so as to make a difference in height so that the side having the locking means faces downward. With this configuration, when the wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle approaches the stepped portion, the wheel operates so as to fall down the stepped portion, so that the wheel naturally reaches the locking means. The descending step may be an intermittent road or an inclined road.

Further, the urging means may be a hole provided on the floor of the guide member for dropping a wheel. The wheel reaches this hole, falls into the hole, and stops. Therefore, the locking means is provided according to the position of the wheel at this time. Even if the wheel stops the entry of the motorcycle near the edge of the hole, the wheel naturally falls into the hole, so that the wheel can be reliably stored in the locking means.

Further, the locking means comprises an arm portion for holding the wheel of the motorcycle, a solenoid for fixing the held arm portion, and an electric circuit for energizing the solenoid. Can be done. When the wheel is guided to the locking means by the biasing means, the wheel is held in the arm of the locking means, where the actuating rod of the solenoid acts on this arm to lock the arm, and the arm is locked. It will lock the wheels. Next, when the solenoid is energized, the actuating rod of the solenoid operates to disengage from the arm and the arm becomes free, so that the two-wheeled vehicle can be taken out.

In addition to the combination of the arm portion and the solenoid, it is possible to raise, for example, one in which the through-rod of the solenoid is inserted between the spokes of the wheel to be locked. If a solenoid is used during configuration, a mechanism for electrically and remotely unlocking can be easily configured, and remote computer control is also possible.

As the two-wheeled vehicle to be parked by the present invention, a bicycle, an electrically assisted bicycle, a bicycle with a prime mover,
The parking device of the present invention is a motorcycle or the like, and is designed according to the thickness and diameter of the wheels and the weight of the vehicle body of the motorcycle.
