BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a route passage management device, and more particularly, a route for entering and leaving a predetermined area such as a parking lot when an entrance route and an exit route are provided side by side across an island. The present invention relates to an improvement of a route passage management device that manages a gate opening / closing operation that temporarily shuts off a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, entering / leaving a parking lot, entering / leaving a predetermined management facility, entering a toll area, etc.
When entering or leaving a designated area, the entry and exit routes that connect the designated area and other areas are temporarily blocked to prevent unauthorized entry or exit. A gate is provided. In particular, in a paid parking lot and the like, entrance control, charge collection, and exit control are often performed unattended, and a gate that is always opened and closed by a predetermined operation is arranged. Of course, even in the manned management state, the gate is used to perform the above-mentioned management.

At the entrance of a pay parking lot for hourly rental, which is an example of a predetermined area, for example, a parking ticket issuing machine, a vehicle detector,
A parking lot management system (route passage management device) including a gate device having a blocking bar is installed. Normally, when the vehicle detector detects an entering vehicle, the parking ticket issuing machine issues a parking ticket that prints / records the entry time and the like, and when the user, etc. pulls out the issued parking ticket from the issuing port, the gate device In response to this, an instruction to open the blocking bar is output. The gate device raises the blocking bar based on the opening command to permit the vehicle to pass. After that, when it is confirmed by the vehicle detector that the vehicle has passed through the blocking bar, the parking ticket issuing machine outputs a closing bar closing command to the gate device, and the gate device outputs the blocking bar based on the closing command. To prevent other vehicles from passing through.

Further, a toll collector, a vehicle detector, a gate device, etc. are arranged at the exit of the parking lot, a parking ticket is inserted into the toll collector, and a predetermined fee is paid according to the usage condition of the parking lot. If it is confirmed, the toll collector outputs a command to open the blocking bar to the gate device. The gate device raises the blocking bar based on the opening command to permit the vehicle to pass. After that, when it is confirmed by a vehicle detector that the vehicle has passed the barrier bar, the toll collector outputs a closing bar closing command to the gate device, and the gate device opens the blocking bar based on the closing command. Lower it to prevent other vehicles from passing.

Further, in the monthly parking lot, instead of the parking ticket issuing machine and the fare collection machine, for example, a commuter ticket judging machine is provided, and the blocking bar is opened / closed based on whether the commuter ticket is valid or not. It manages the passage (entry / exit) control.

By the way, there are cases in which a doorway is forced to be installed in one place due to restrictions such as a relatively small parking lot and surrounding roads, or in some cases it is preferable to install the doorway. In such a case, the approach road and the exit road are arranged adjacent to each other with an island (floating island) in between. Then, a parking lot management device (route passage management device) including the above-mentioned parking ticket issuing machine, fare collection machine, gate device, etc. is arranged on the island.

Embodiment 1. FIG. 1 shows a conceptual configuration diagram of a parking lot management device 10 when the route passage management device of the first embodiment is applied to a parking lot.

FIG. 1 (a) is a top view of a dedicated entrance 12 and exit 14 for connecting the inside and the outside of a parking lot as seen from above, and FIG. 1 (b) is shown in FIG. 1 (a). FIG. 3 is a front view of the parking lot management device 10) viewed from the inside of the parking lot. In FIG. 1, the approach path 12 and the exit path 14 have a width A that allows, for example, one vehicle that can be accommodated in the parking lot to pass through. An island 16 is arranged between the approach road 12 and the exit road 14, and a parking lot management device (route passage management device) 10 is installed on the island 16. In addition, on the non-island side of the approach road 12 and the exit road 14, a partition wall 18 is provided to prevent unauthorized exit of the vehicle (for example, exit without payment of usage fee) or unauthorized entry, so that the inside and outside of the parking lot are completely protected. It can be separated.

On the island 16, the vehicle has entered the exit route 14 in order to pass through the entry side drive unit 22 and the exit route 14 to which the entry blocking bar 20 for temporarily blocking the passage of the approach route 12 is connected. A first housing 26 housing an exit control unit 24 including an exit operation unit 24a for an occupant of the vehicle to perform an exit procedure operation, that is, to insert a parking ticket and pay a charge according to a parking lot usage state, and an exit route. The exit side drive unit 30 to which the exit blocking bar 28 for temporarily blocking the passage of 14 is connected
In addition, an entry control unit 3 including an entry operation unit 32a for an occupant of a vehicle entering the entry route 12 to pass through the entry route 12 and to perform an entry procedure operation, that is, to receive a parking ticket.
A second housing 34 accommodating 2 is arranged. In addition,
The entry side drive unit 22 and the entry control unit 32, and the exit side drive unit 30 and the exit control unit 24 are electrically connected via a cable / pipe 36 or the like.

The parking lot management device 1 configured as described above
The operation of 0 will be described. In the steady state, the entry blocking bar 20 and the exit blocking bar 28 are in the blocking state, that is, the entry path 12 and the exit path 14 as shown by the solid line in FIG.
For example, it is locked in a horizontal state so as to block the passage of the.

When the user of the parking lot advances along the approach path 12 toward the inside of the parking lot, a vehicle detector (for example, a photoelectric sensor) (not shown) detects the entry of the vehicle. Then, the entry control unit 32 of the second housing 34 issues a parking ticket on which the entry time and the like are printed and recorded, and ejects the parking ticket from a parking ticket issuing port (not shown) of the entry operation unit 32a. When the user or the like pulls out the issued parking ticket from the issuing port, the entry control unit 32 outputs an opening command of the entry blocking bar 20 to the entry side drive unit 22 of the first housing 26. The entry side drive unit 22 is shown in FIG.
As shown by the broken line in FIG.
0 is rotated along the approach direction by the rotation of the rotating shaft 22a protruding from the parking lot inner end surface of the first housing 26 to rotate and move on the plane crossing the approach path 12 so that the vehicle that has performed the approach procedure is approached. It retreats from the approach road 12 so as to allow it.

Thereafter, when it is confirmed by a vehicle detector (not shown) that the vehicle has passed through the entry blocking bar 20, the entry control section 32 instructs the entry side driving section 22 to close the entry blocking bar 20. Output. The entry side drive unit 22 is
Based on the closing command, the entry blocking bar 20 is lowered to prohibit the passage of other vehicles.

At this time, the entry blocking bar 20 is operated by the entry side drive unit 22 housed in the first casing 26 located in the front position of the entry path 12, and the entry side drive unit 22 is operated. The necessary operation input is performed on the approach path 12 by the approach operation section 32a of the approach control section 32 housed in the second case 34 located on the front side of the first case 26, that is, outside the parking lot. That is, the entry blocking bar 20 and the entry operation unit 32a can be separately arranged by the distance between the first housing 26 and the second housing 34. As a result, the entry operation unit 32 can be operated without the user getting off the vehicle.
The predetermined distance L can be easily secured only by adjusting the arrangement of the first housing 26 and the second housing 34 so that the operation a can be performed and the vehicle and the entry blocking bar 20 do not come into contact with each other.

On the other hand, when the parking lot user goes out of the parking lot and proceeds on the exit 14 toward the outside of the parking lot, a vehicle detector (not shown) (for example, a photoelectric sensor) detects the exit of the vehicle, The exit control unit 24 of the one housing 26 prompts the presentation of the parking ticket in order to collect the charge according to the usage state of the parking lot. In the first embodiment, although not shown, in the exit operation unit 24a of the exit control unit 24, for example,
A card insertion slot for inserting a parking ticket, a bill insertion slot for accepting bills among the charges collected according to the usage situation of the parking lot,
A coin slot for inserting coins, a coin outlet for discharging change, a display unit for operating guidance and amount display, a speaker for outputting voice guidance and an alarm, and the like are arranged. In addition, operation switches and the like may be arranged as necessary.

When the exit control unit 24 confirms that the parking ticket has been inserted and the charge according to the usage condition has been paid, the second
With respect to the exit side drive unit 30 of the housing 34, the exit blocking bar 2
8 is output, and the second housing 34 shown in FIG.
The rotating shaft 30a protruding from the outer end surface of the parking lot is rotated, and as shown by a broken line in FIG.
Is rotated on a plane that crosses the exit path 14, and is retreated from the exit path 14 so as to allow the vehicle that has gone through the exit procedure to exit. After that, when it is confirmed that the vehicle has passed through the exit blocking bar 28 by a vehicle detector or the like (not shown), the exit control unit 24 outputs a closing command of the exit blocking bar 28 to the exit side drive unit 30, The exit side drive unit 30 lowers the exit blocking bar 28 based on the closing command to prohibit the passage of other vehicles.

Also on the exit side, the exit blocking bar 28 and the exit operation section 24a can be separately arranged by the distance between the first housing 26 and the second housing 34, so that the user can move away from the vehicle. The exit operation portion 24a can be operated without getting off the vehicle, and the predetermined distance L can be easily secured because the vehicle and the exit blocking bar 28 do not come into contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the entrance blocking bar 2
The rotary shaft 22a of the entry side drive unit 22 that drives 0
The exit blocking bar 28 is driven by arranging the entry blocking bar 20 at the end of the entry direction of the housing 26 so as to extend in the direction along the entry path 12 and rotating and moving the entry blocking bar 20 on the plane crossing the entry path 12. Rotating shaft 30a of exit side drive unit 30
Is arranged at the end of the second housing 34 in the exit direction so as to extend in the direction along the exit path 14, and the exit blocking bar 28 is rotationally moved on the plane crossing the exit path 14. Can be arranged at a position farthest from the entry operation section 32a, and the exit blocking bar 28 can be arranged at the exit operation section 24a.
It can be arranged at a position farthest from a. As a result, even if the island 16 is reduced in size, the required separation distance between the entry blocking bar 20 and the entry operation portion 32a and the required separation distance between the exit blocking bar 28 and the exit operation portion 24a can be easily ensured. Conversely speaking, it is possible to reduce the distance between the first housing 26 and the second housing 34, and it is possible to reduce the size of the island 16.

As described above, the operation input required for driving the entrance blocking bar 20 included in the first housing 26 is performed by the entrance operating portion 32a arranged on the back surface of the second housing 34, and the second housing 34 is operated. Since the operation input required for driving the exit blocking bar 28 included in the body 34 is performed by the exit operation unit 24a disposed on the back surface of the first housing 26, the first housing 26 and the first housing 26 are provided on the island 16. Only the two housings 34 need to be arranged. As a result, the size of the island 16 can be reduced. In addition, the first housing 2
Since only 6 and the second housing 34 are arranged, the overall configuration is simple, and the parking lot management device 10 (route passage management device)
The installation work can be easily simplified. In addition, the simple configuration reduces the restrictions on the parking lot when installing in different types of parking lots,
The uniformity and versatility of the parking lot management device 10 are improved, and the cost can be easily reduced.

Embodiment 2. FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the parking lot management device 38 of the second embodiment. The same members as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the configurations of the first housing 26 and the second housing 34 are almost the same, but the entrance side drive section 40 and the exit side drive section 42 housed inside are different. As is clear from FIG. 2A, the rotation shaft 40 a of the entry side drive unit 40 that drives the entry blocking bar 20 extends in the width direction of the entry path 12 from the entry path side surface of the first housing 26. The entrance blocking bar 20 is located at a position offset by a predetermined distance from the rotating shaft 40a toward the front in the entrance direction by the connecting arm 44 extending along the entrance path 12.
2. Drive to close and open 2. Similarly, the rotation shaft 42 of the exit side drive unit 42 that drives the exit blocking bar 28.
a extends in the width direction of the exit passage 14 from the side surface of the second housing 34 on the exit passage side. The exit blocking bar 28 is connected to the rotary shaft 42 by the connecting arm 46 extending along the exit path 14.
The exit path 14 is driven so as to be closed and opened at a position offset by a predetermined distance in the exit direction from a.

In the second embodiment, as the rotary shaft 40a rotates, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the entrance blocking bar 20 is maintained in parallel with the surface 12a of the entrance path 12, and the entrance side is closed. It moves at a position away from the drive unit 40 by a predetermined distance inside the parking lot. Similarly, as the rotary shaft 42a rotates, the exit blocking bar 28
Is moved at a position away from the exit side drive unit 42 by a predetermined distance to the outside of the parking lot while maintaining a parallel state with the surface 14a of the exit path 14.

In the second embodiment, the operation of the entry operation section 32a and the exit operation section 24a performed by the user at the time of entry and exit, control of the entry side drive section 40 of the entry control section 32, and exit of the exit control section 24. The control for the side drive unit 42 is the same as that in the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

However, in the second embodiment, as described above, the movements of the entrance blocking bar 20 and the exit blocking bar 28 are different. Basically, since the movements of the entry blocking bar 20 and the exit blocking bar 28 are the same, the operation of the entry blocking bar 20 will be described as a representative. In the steady state, that is, in the state where the parking lot management device 38 blocks the passage of the approach path 12, the rotation shaft 40a rotates to the rotation position set in the clockwise direction and stops. The example shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 2A and 2B is a state in which the entrance blocking bar 20 is lowered to the lower side by about 45 ° with respect to the horizontal, for example. Entrance blocking bar 20
By rotating the rotating shaft 40a,
Along the arcuate orbit having the radius of the length of the connecting arm 44 with respect to the center, the arm moves in parallel with the surface 12a of the approach path 12.

As a result, the minimum height of the entrance blocking bar 20 can be arbitrarily set according to the rotation angle of the rotary shaft 40a. For example, when the parking lot management device 38 is installed in a parking lot dedicated to small / medium-sized vehicles and in a parking lot dedicated to large vehicles, the setting of the rotation angle of the rotary shaft 40a is changed. Since the blocking height by the entrance blocking bar 20 can be arbitrarily selected, the same parking lot management device 38 can be used for various types of parking lots and can be versatile, and the parking lot can be opened. It is possible to reliably prevent unauthorized use of the vehicle to be used.

In the example of FIGS. 2A and 2B, when the entrance blocking bar 20 and the exit blocking bar 28 are located at the set minimum height, the entry blocking bar 20 and the exit blocking bar 2 are placed.
Bar catcher 4 that supports the tip of 8 and holds it stationary
8 are arranged. In the case of the second embodiment, since the entrance blocking bar 20 is cantilevered by the connecting arm 44 and is located at a position separated from the rotating shaft 40a by the length of the connecting arm 44, a large load is applied to the rotating shaft 40a. In order to maintain the stationary state of the rotary shaft 40a, a large brake mechanism is required inside the entry side drive unit 40 and the like, which causes an increase in size of the device and an increase in cost. Further, the entrance blocking bar 20 and the connecting arm 44 are deformed or distorted.
In order to prevent this, a bar catcher 48 that supports the tip end side of the entrance blocking bar 20 is provided. Second embodiment
In this case, the receiving member has a substantially L-shaped cross section for simply receiving the entrance blocking bar 20.
In order to prevent a fraudulent act such as lifting 0, it is desirable to provide a lock mechanism, for example, a hook or the like operated by a signal from the entry control unit 32. Further, in the case of the second embodiment, the entry blocking bar 20 and the connection arm 44 are fixed so as to be substantially at a right angle, but bending is likely to occur at this portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, it is preferable to provide a reinforcing beam 50, a reinforcing metal fitting, or the like at the connecting portion.

As described above, by adjusting the amount of rotation of the rotary shaft 40a, the entry blocking bar 20 is kept parallel to the surface 12a up to a preset retract height (maximum moving height),
Since the height can be raised, the height can be adjusted according to, for example, the ceiling height of the place where the parking management device 38 is installed. For example, when there is a sufficient ceiling height, the connection arm 44 is rotated until it stands upright above the rotation shaft 40a. In this case, the entrance blocking bar 20 moves to the maximum height along the arcuate trajectory. As a result, the entrance blocking bar 20 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with a passing vehicle. Further, for example, when the ceiling height is not sufficient, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 40a can be adjusted to raise it to the height of the ceiling. Since the height of the vehicle entering the parking lot is naturally lower than the height of the ceiling, the raised entrance blocking bar 20 can be moved to a height sufficient not to interfere with the vehicle.

According to the second embodiment, the position of the entry blocking bar 20 is arbitrarily offset forward from the position of the rotary shaft 40a of the entry side drive unit 40 of the first housing 26 by the presence of the connecting arm 44 in the entry direction. be able to. That is, the distance from the entry operation portion 32a provided on the entry path 12 side of the second housing 34 to the entry blocking bar 20 can be arbitrarily set. That is, as in the first embodiment, the entry operation unit 3
In order to secure the distance from 2a to the entrance blocking bar 20, it is not necessary to secure the space between the first housing 26 and the second housing 34. Therefore, the first housing 26 and the second housing 34 are arranged close to each other on the island 16, and closely arranged if necessary.
Or they can be integrated. By arranging the first housing 26 and the second housing 34 close to each other, the size (length) of the island 16 can be further reduced.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the devices arranged on the island 16 can be further simplified, and at the same time, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the uniformity and design of the entire system. Further, the simplification can contribute to the reduction of the number of parts, the reduction of cost, and the improvement of maintainability.

Further, as described above, the entry side drive unit 4
Since the maximum moving height and the minimum moving height of the entrance blocking bar 20 can be arbitrarily set only by changing the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 40a of 0, the rotation angle of the rotation shaft 40a alone can be set. The management device 38 can be arranged at various installation locations. That is, even in a parking lot where the ceiling height and the roof height of the gate are different, and also in a parking lot where the size of the vehicle to be used is different, it is possible to arrange the parking lot management device 38 of the same simple form. It is possible to improve the sex.

In the second embodiment, the entrance blocking bar 2
0 and the connection portion between the connection arm 44 and the connection portion between the connection arm 44 and the rotary shaft 40a are in the same plane, that is, the connection relationships are substantially right angles and the connection arm 44 is parallel to the passage direction of the path 12. However, the connection need not be a right angle, and each connection angle may be an obtuse angle or an acute angle, that is, may be inclined with respect to the passage direction of the path 12.

Also, an example has been shown in which the maximum and minimum heights of movement of the entrance blocking bar 20 are set in advance. For example, the size, height, etc. of the vehicle entering the entrance path 12 can be detected by a sensor or the like. The height of the entry blocking bar 20 blocking the entry path 12 or the retracted height when opened may be appropriately changed according to the detection result. By controlling in this way, the entry blocking bar 20 blocking the entry path 12 may enter a blind spot when seen from the user's position, or the entry blocking bar 20 in the evacuation may contact a passing vehicle. It is possible to surely eliminate inconveniences such as being lost. Of course, the change based on the detection result may be continuous control or stepwise control at predetermined intervals.

If the connecting arm 44 is made to be extendable and retractable so that the initial setting can be changed, the rotary shaft 40a
It is possible to change the offset amount from the entrance blocking bar 20 to the entrance blocking bar 20, and it is possible to further adjust the maximum moving height of the entrance blocking bar 20 according to the installation location of the parking lot management device 38. Further, if the entrance blocking bar 20 is configured to be expandable and contractible so that the initial setting can be changed, the parking lot management device 3
It can be easily adapted to the width A of the approach path 12 in which 8 is installed. In addition, it is desirable that the elastic structure has a lock mechanism so that it cannot be changed illegally.

In each of the embodiments, the parking lot has been described as an example of the installation location of the route passage management device. However, the approach road and the exit road are arranged across the island, and the blocking bar is operated by a predetermined procedure operation. It can be installed and applied in any place where it is necessary, and the same effect as this embodiment can be obtained.

[0044]

According to the present invention, the operation input required to drive the entrance blocking bar included in the first housing is performed by the entrance operation unit arranged on the back surface of the second housing, and the second housing is operated. Since the operation input required to drive the exit blocking bar included in is carried out by the exit operation unit arranged on the back surface of the first housing, only the first housing and the second housing can be arranged on the island.
