Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nuisance parking prevention device or the like installed in each parking space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of preventing illegal parking or unauthorized parking, a method of installing a gate opening / closing device of the same type as a railroad crossing at the entrance of a parking lot is known and widely used. ing. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-296419 discloses a gate opening / closing device of a circuit breaker type, which allows one-touch operation
There is disclosed a system in which a D number can be input and only a vehicle authorized by the matching of the ID numbers can park. In addition, the following types of methods have been put into practical use. For example, called the chain gate method,
A system has been put into practical use in which only a licensed car can be parked by putting a chain between two poles provided on both sides of the entrance of the parking lot and operating the remote control etc. to move the chain up and down (up and down). There is. Also, one (or two) provided at the entrance of the parking lot, which is called an arm gate system.
A system has been put into practical use in which only the cars that have been licensed can be parked by attaching the arm to the pole and moving the arm up and down (up and down) by operating the remote control.

Further, for example, in a relatively small hourly parking lot, a standing or standing position is set in a parking space.
A wheel stop plate that can be stored is installed, and after a certain period of time passes after the rear wheel or front wheel passes through the wheel stop plate during parking,
A system has been put into practical use in which the wheel stopper plate is electrically raised, the parking fee is settled by a parking meter, and the wheel stopper plate is electrically stored.

[0004]

The above-mentioned conventional method has the following problems. First, there is a problem that the installation place is limited because it is large and uses a commercial power supply. Second, there is a problem that the vehicle cannot be put in and out because the drive power supply is stopped at the time of power failure. Thirdly, there is a problem that the pole installed at the entrance of the parking lot is exposed on the ground even when the vehicle can be parked, which may be an obstacle during the garage parking operation. Fourth,
There is a problem that it is large-scale and expensive only with equipment for a trader.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, there has been proposed an annoying parking prevention device installed in each parking space (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-100543). This device manually stands up the undulating tower via a hinge, and tries to prevent nuisance parking by the undulating tower in the standing posture. In the standing posture, a solenoid is used to electromagnetically insert a slide pin into an engaging hole on the base to lock the lock. The lock is released by inputting a personal identification number. However, with this device, it is necessary to get out of the car and operate the undulating tower and unlock the lock. It may be possible to use electric power, but in that case, if the battery runs out or the vehicle does not operate, parking becomes impossible and it is inconvenient. Further, if there is a vehicle forcibly trying to park or a heavy vehicle that enters due to a change in direction, there is a possibility that the undulating tower may be damaged or the device may not be fixed to the ground.

The present invention has been made under the background described above, and an object thereof is to provide a nuisance parking prevention device and the like which solve the above-mentioned problems and the like.

[Action]

According to the above-mentioned structure 1, since the arm member is provided with a means for releasing the fixing when a force of a predetermined value or more is applied to the arm member, the arm member is damaged and the nuisance parking preventing device is grounded. There is no fear that the fixing will be destroyed. Further, for example, when the arm member is of an electrically driven type, it may be in a state of not operating due to battery exhaustion or the like, but since the arm member can be tilted with a certain force or more, battery exhaustion or the like may occur. Even in some cases, parking is not possible. As a means for releasing the fixing of the arm member, a known means that can release the fixing of the arm member when a force of a specified value or more is applied to the arm member can be adopted. For example, it is possible to employ a known mechanism that locks the arm member using a biasing means such as a spring and unlocks the arm member by the biasing means when a force exceeding a specified value is applied to the arm member. The device of configuration 1 can be easily installed at a predetermined position in each parking space in an existing parking lot, and is small and inexpensive. The base member can be fixed to the ground by using a known fixing means such as an anchor bolt, or by fixing the base member with a weight that cannot be easily moved manually.

As in the above-mentioned structure 2, as means for releasing the fixing of the arm member, a portion relating to the rotation of the arm member is
It is preferable to employ a clutch mechanism. As the clutch mechanism, for example, the clutch mechanism of the electric storage mirror can be used. In this case, it is not necessary to newly design the clutch mechanism, and the parts constituting the electric mechanism of the electric storage mirror and the clutch mechanism can be used as they are. It is possible in some cases, which is preferable. When the arm member is of the electric drive type, a clutch mechanism can be used for the drive unit (drive system) of the arm member. When the arm member is of a manual type, a clutch mechanism can be adopted as a mounting fulcrum of the arm member (such as a fixed shaft portion to which the arm member is mounted).

According to the above structure 3, the arm member is erected and
It is convenient because it does not need to be stored manually. Further, it becomes possible to correspond to remote operation of standing and storing of the arm member.

According to the above construction 4, since the remote controller can be operated, it is not necessary to get out of the car one by one, and it is convenient and comfortable.

According to the above configuration 5, since both the transmitter and the receiver have an identification signal and the identification signals coincide with each other, the arm members can operate. Therefore, malfunctions due to simultaneous use of a plurality of units can be prevented. .

According to the above configuration 6, since one transmitter is provided with a plurality of identification signals, and the identification signal is assigned to each receiver in a plurality of nuisance parking prevention devices, one transmission is performed. The machine can control multiple devices.

According to the above configuration 7, since it can be driven by a battery, installation work is simple without the need to bury wiring in the ground or the like. It is also possible to provide a small and inexpensive system using a battery as a power source. In addition, when the battery is not dead, if the arm member is illegally fallen, a mechanism that sounds an alarm to inform the surroundings of abnormality such as repelling a molester and various sirens can be adopted. In this case, it is possible to reduce battery consumption by making it possible to set the time at which the alarm sound is emitted.

According to the above structure 8, since the driving battery is composed of the solar battery and the secondary battery,
There is little concern about running out of battery, and the frequency of battery replacement can be significantly reduced.

According to the above construction 9, since the warning sound that calls the driver's attention is emitted during the opening / closing operation of the arm member, the collision with the arm member can be prevented.

According to the above structure 10, by attaching the reflecting plate to the arm member, it is possible to prevent a collision with the arm member at night.

According to the above configuration 11, by attaching the light emitting body to the arm member, it is possible to further prevent the collision with the arm member at night.
