Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、駐輪装置に関するもので、特に、有料の駐輪場を、無人で管理するのに適した駐輪装置に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、有料の駐輪場は、一定期間の駐輪契約を締結する方式が採用され、管理者が駐輪状況を監視しているが、駐輪台数が多いと、各自転車の管理が煩雑となり、通常、広くて駐輪台数の多い駐輪場では、管理者は複数人配置する必要性が生じ、人件費が嵩むという問題点を有している。
【０００３】
また、マンションの駐輪場等の決められた人だけが使用する駐輪場は、自転車の整列駐輪が守られなくなることが多く、乱雑に自転車が駐輪されると、他人がかって駐輪するようになったり、自転車の盗難等が多くなるが、駐輪装置及びその設置工事のために多額の資金を用意できないという問題点を有している。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明は、所定の場所に駐輪した後、利用者自らが、料金を精算する等の所定の手続を行うと、自転車が取り出せるようになすことで、管理に手数がかからないと共に、盗難が防止できる駐輪装置を提供することを課題としたもので、さらには、装置が安価でかつ、設置も容易な駐輪装置を提供することを課題としたものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を達成するため、本発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成され、前記駐輪装置本体１００は、水等の重量物を収容できるようになした槽体１０１の上に固定してなる技術的手段を講じたものである。
【０００６】
「自転車ロック作用」　それ故、本発明駐輪装置は、自転車を駐輪装置本体に向けて進入させると、移動片１１が自転車Ｂの進入で押されて移動する。そして、この移動片１１が移動すると、一対のフック体１２，１２が回動し該自転車Ｂの車輪（前輪）ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるようにして閉じ、該前輪ＦＷを係止・保持する（待機状態では、フック体１２，１２は開いており、ソレノイド１４はフック体１２，１２を係止方向に付勢しているものとする。）。すると、この保持が、自動的に又は移動片１１の移動乃至はフック体１２，１２の回動を後記する駐輪確認センサーＳ１で確認されて、上記ソレノイド１４を作動させることで、該フック体１２，１２の回動が係止片１３でロックされ、駐輪した自転車Ｂは取出不能となる作用を呈する。
【０００７】
「整列駐輪作用」　また、本発明駐輪装置は、駐輪場に複数の駐輪装置本体１００，１００，１００・・・を並置・固定することで、当該駐輪場には所定の台数の自転車が所定の位置に整列して駐輪されるようになす作用を呈する。
【０００８】
「利用者特定作用」　そして、本発明駐輪装置は、定められた手続を行わないと自転車が取り出せないので、この手続を、駐輪料金の精算とすれば無人での有料管理が容易となる作用を呈し、暗証番号の入力等の特定の者のみが知り得る手続とすれば、マンションの住民のみ等の特定の者のみが使用できようになす作用を呈する。
【０００９】
「盗難防止作用」　さらには、本発明駐輪装置は、定められて手続が行われないと、自転車が取り出せないので、盗難が防止できる作用を呈するものである。
【００１０】
「簡易設置作用」　また、本発明駐輪装置は、道路の端、マンションの共用空き地等、平面的な場所であれば、単に本発明装置を置いて、槽体１０１内に水または小石等を収納することで固定・設置できる（別途、配線は必要）作用を呈するものである。
【００１１】
次に、請求項２の発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成され、前記駐輪装置本体１００は、水等の重量物を収容できるようになした槽体１０１の上に、取付可能に配したケース体１０２に収納して取り付けるようになし、該槽体１０１の両側面には、この槽体１０１，１０１，１０１・・・を横方向に順次連結する連結具１０３を設け、さらに、上記ケース体１０２の両側面にも、上記槽体１０１の連結具１０３に連結できる連結具１０４を設けてなる技術的手段を講じたものである。
【００１２】
「駐輪幅縮小作用」　それ故、本発明駐輪装置は、前記請求項１の作用に加え、駐輪装置本体１００を、槽体１０１を有したものと、この槽体１０１を使用しないケース体１０２のみによるものとを、順次交互に連結することで、その高さを順次変化させることができ、駐輪する自転車の前輪の高さを交互に変更させ、自転車の横幅の最も大きいハンドル部位の高さを互い違いとすることで、駐輪間隔を狭めることが可能となる作用を呈するものである。
【００１３】
次に、請求項３の駐輪装置は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成され、上記駐輪装置本体１００の係止片１３は、自由状態では自重で上記フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないようにする係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止して設け、この係止片１３の駆動用のソレノイド１４は該係止片１３の係止を脱着する際、該係止片１３を自由状態とするようになした技術的手段を講じたものである。
【００１４】
「係止片噛み込み防止作用」　それ故、本発明駐輪装置は、請求項１の「自転車ロック作用」と、「整列駐輪作用」と、「利用者特定作用」と、「盗難防止作用」とに加え、係止片１３を、自由状態では自重で上記フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないようにする係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止して設け、この係止片１３の駆動用のソレノイド１４は該係止片１３の係止を脱着する際、該係止片１３を自由状態とするようになしたので、該係止片１３の係止に、駐輪中の自転車の荷重等が加わっていても、ソレノイド１４自体の駆動には影響がなく、該ソレノイド１４を駆動した後は、該係止片１３が自由状態となっているので、自転車等を荷重を除去するように移動することで、上記の噛み込みを解除でき、自転車が確実に取り出せる（後に、詳細に説明する。）作用を呈する。
【００１５】
次に、請求項４の発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、前記移動片１１の移動乃至はフック体１２，１２の回動に連動して回路が開閉するスイッチからなる駐輪確認センサーＳ１と、上記ソレノイド１４への通電回路を開閉制御する制御盤２００とで構成され、上記制御盤２００は、駐輪確認センサーＳ１よりの信号で駐輪を確認する駐輪信号処理手段２０１と、該駐輪信号処理手段２０１で駐輪が確認されるとタイマーをスタートするタイマー手段２０２と、該タイマー手段２０２で計測した駐輪時間を駐輪代金に換算する演算手段２０３と、該演算手段２０４で演算された駐輪代金を表示する表示手段２０４とを有し、さらに、コイン受入手段３００に投入されたコインの総額を識別するコイン識別手段２０７と、このコイン識別手段２０７で識別された金額と前記演算手段２０３で演算された金額が一致することを確認する精算手段２０５と、この精算手段２０５で駐輪時間に見合う金額が精算されたことを確認すると、前記ソレノイド１４への通電回路を開閉して前記係止片１３の係止を脱着する信号を出力するロック信号処理手段２０６とを設けてなる技術的手段を講じたものである。
【００１６】
「自動精算作用」　それ故、本発明駐輪装置は、上記請求項３の作用に加え、コイン受入手段３００にコインを投入して駐輪時間に対応した駐車料金を精算すると、ソレノイド１４乃至係止片１３が作動し、フック体１２，１２のロックが解除されて、駐輪していた自転車Ｂを、使用者自身が取り出すことができるようになす作用を呈する。
【００１７】
次に、請求項５の発明は、自転車の前輪ＦＷを乗せる前輪受台１ａ，１ｂを、高低交互となるように段違い平行状に並置し、各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの後端には、後輪ＢＷを乗せる後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの先端部を縦軸４で枢着連結し、必要に応じて、この各後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはその後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させ、さらに、該後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの各後端下面側には、床面Ｆ上を転動する車輪３を夫々設け、上記各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂ部位には、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００を夫々配し、また、該駐輪装置本体１００には、前記移動片１１の移動乃至はフック体１２，１２の回動に連動して回路が開閉するスイッチからなる駐輪確認センサーＳ１を設け、さらに、上記ソレノイド１４への通電回路を開閉制御する制御盤２００を設けてなる技術的手段を講じたものである。
【００１８】
「駐輪幅縮小作用」　それ故、本発明駐輪装置は、前輪受台１ａ，１ｂを、高低交互となるように段違い平行状に並置しているので、自転車の最も横幅の広いハンドル部位を、段違いとすることができ、請求項２と同様に駐輪間隔を狭めて駐輪可能となす作用を呈する。
【００１９】
「作業スペース確保作用」　また、各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの後端には、後輪ＢＷを乗せる後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの先端部を縦軸４で枢着連結し、必要に応じて、この各後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはその後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させ、さらに、該後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの各後端下面側には、床面Ｆ上を転動する車輪３を夫々設けてなるので、後輪側は移動可能となるので、間隔を狭めて駐輪した状態でも、各自転車の後部の間隔を一部で広げ、自転車の出し入れを行い易くする間隔を得ることができる作用を呈する。なお、図１の後輪受台２ｂの後端を、図１手前方向に移動させると、実線で示した自転車ｂのハンドル部は前輪受台１ｂの幅に余裕があると、図手前側に傾斜し、この実線の自転車Ｂの奥側には人が入り込む間隙が確保できるものである。
【００２０】
「係止片噛み込み防止作用」　なお、本発明は前記したように、前輪受台１ａ，１ｂを、高低交互となるように段違い平行状に並置したので、高い方の前輪受台１ａに前輪ＦＷを乗せるには、後輪受台２ａの後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させ設けるのが望ましいが、後輪受台２ａの後端側を下方に下がるように傾斜すると、自転車が後退するような力が加わることがある。この力は、移動片１１又はフック体１２，１２の先端側の開閉にともなって移動する部材等を引き戻すように作用し、この荷重による力で係止片１３の係止部が圧接（噛み合って）してしまい、ソレノイド１４の作動を阻止することになる。しかし、本発明では、自重で係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止した係止片１３を使用して、該係止片１１の係止の脱着時は、該係止片１３を自由状態となすので、上記係止片１１の係止部が圧接してもソレノイド１４自体は確実に作動する作用を呈する。そして、係止片１３を自由状態となしておけば、たとえ、係止片１３が係止部に圧接していても、自転車Ｂを、その後退方向に加わる力（荷重）に抗して前方に押す（前進方向に多少移動させる。）と上記噛み合いは解消され、該係止片１３の係合は自重で解かれる作用を呈するものである。
【００２１】
【実施例】
次に、本発明の実施例を、添付図面を参照して、詳細に説明する。図中、１００が、本発明の要部をなす駐輪装置本体である。この駐輪装置本体１００は、図１乃至図３実施例では、自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷ（本願では、前輪を前輪ＦＷとし、後輪を後輪ＢＷとしても示す。）の先端部を、その両側より抱き抱えるように係止して、該自転車Ｂを保持するようになしてあり、図４及び図５実施例は前輪ＦＷの下端を同様に両側より抱き抱えるように係止するようになしてあり、図６及び図７実施例は図１乃至図３と同様に車輪ＦＷの先端部を、その両側より抱き抱えるように係止するようになしてある。また、上記駐輪装置本体１００は、駐輪場に、駐輪できる間隔を持たせて、複数個を並置するものである。図１乃至図５実施例では、該駐輪装置本体１００は、固定した柱体又は横桟体等の固定部位に並置・固定するようになしてある。
【００２２】
そして、上記駐輪装置本体１００は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３と、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる。なお、図１乃至図３実施例では、該駐輪装置本体１００を平面略Ｕ字状となして、そのＵ字状の開口部内に自転車の前輪ＦＷを押し込むようになして、上記移動片１１はこの自転車Ｂの進入で前輪ＦＷの先端で押されて略水平方向に移動するものが使用され、図４及び図５実施例では、該駐輪装置本体１００を前輪受台１ａ，１ｂで兼用し、上部が開口した樋状の固定部材に自転車Ｂの前輪ＦＷを乗せるようになしてあり、前輪ＦＷが乗ることで該移動片１１は押し下げられるものが使用され、図６及び図７実施例では該車輪導入溝部１０５に進入した前輪ＦＷの先端で押されて、該移動片１１が略水平方向に移動するものが使用されている。
【００２３】
そして、上記フック体１２，１２（図２例）は、基端部を軸１６で基板１５に枢止され、先端側には互いに内側に向く鍵状のフック部１２ａを夫々設けて対設し、さらに、該フック体１２，１２の基端部には内側（図２上下中央側）に向かう腕部１２ｂを夫々連設して、平面略コの字状となしてある。なお、上記フック部１２ａの内側辺は内側（鍵状に折れ曲がった先端側）が外方に向かって傾斜する傾斜辺１２ｃとなし、係止した自転車Ｂの前輪ＦＷを引き出そうとする（図２左側（矢印Ｐ１方向）に向けて引く）と、該フック体１２，１２を押し開く（このフック体１２，１２を、図２の矢印Ｐ２，Ｐ２方向に回動する。）ようになし、自転車Ｂを取り出すことができるようになしてある。
【００２４】
そして、上記移動片１１は、フック体１２，１２の腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂの先方（図２左側）に設けられ、後方（図２右側）に移動することで両腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂの先端を押し、該フック体１２，１２の先端を閉じ（図２上方のフック体１２の状態とする。）るようになしてある。また、フック体１２，１２がその先端を開くように回動する（前輪ＦＷを矢印Ｐ１方向に向けて引く）と、該移動片１１は腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂで押し戻される（図２左側に移動する）ようになしてある。なお、図示はしていないが、この移動片１１は、基板１５等に設けた長孔に案内される等して、所定の範囲内でのみ往復移動可能（図２左右方向に往復移動可能）となしてある。
【００２５】
また、上記フック体１２，１２には、トグルアーム１８（図２参照）が、前記軸１６より外側に設けた軸１７で枢着され、このトグルアーム１８，１８の外方側には長孔１９を設け、この長孔１９には基板１５に立設した固定軸２０が挿通され、両トグルアーム１８，１８の内側端間はコイルスプリング２１を装着してある。従って、この両トグルアーム１８，１８は両者が同一直線上に位置すると、該コイルスプリング２１を最も圧縮して静止状態になるが、それよりいずれか一方向にトグルアーム１８，１８を回動しようとすると、コイルスプリング２１の伸張力が加わり、フック体１２，１２を、その先端が開くか閉じるかの、いずれか一方側に回動するように付勢するようになしてある。
【００２６】
上記係止片１３は、自由状態では自重で上記フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないようにする係止を解く方向に回動している状態に枢止して設けてある。すなわち、この係止片１３は、基板１５に固定した一対の軸受体２２，２２に架設した水平軸２３で枢止され、自由状態では図３左側部位が、その自重で下方に下がるように（図３に破線で示す状態となるように）なしてあり、この係止片１３の先端を係止爪部１３ａとなしている。
【００２７】
そして、上記係止片１３の近傍には、必要時に該係止片１３の係止を脱着して該係止片１３を自由状態となすソレノイド１４を設けてなる。このソレノイド１４の作動片１４ａは、係止片１３に一体的には連結せず、該係止片１３が突出する際は、該係止片１３の後端側を押して先端側（係止爪部１３ａ）を自重に抗して上方に回動するが、該作動片１４ａを引き戻すと、この作動片１４ａの先端は係止片１３の後端より離れることも可能となし、この作動片１４ａの先端が係止片１３より離れることで、該係止片１３が自由状態となるようになしてある。そして、この係止片１３の係止爪部１３ａは、移動片１１に設けた係止孔１１ａ内に、該移動片１１の下方から係入することで、該移動片１１を移動不能に係止するようになしてある。
【００２８】
上記移動片１１が移動不能となると、自転車Ｂを引き出そうとして、車輪ＦＷを図２左側に引くと、車輪ＦＷの内周面が傾斜辺１２ｃ，１２ｃに圧接し、フック体１２，１２を押し開こうとするが、該フック体１２，１２の基端部の両腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂの回動が移動片１１で阻止されるため、該フック体１２，１２は開くことができず、自転車Ｂを取り出すことはできないものである。
【００２９】
なお、上記係止片１３は、待機時に係止方向に付勢しておく方法と、自由状態としておく方法とがあり、本実施例では前者の方法が採用され、作動片１４ａのスプリング１４ｂが利用されて、待機時に係止爪部１３ａが上方に向くように付勢され、移動片１１が駐輪によって移動すると、自動的に係止爪部１３ａが係止孔１１ａ内に係入して、以後は、上記ソレノイド１４に通電して係止片１３を自由状態としない限り、自転車Ｂは取り出し不能にロックされるようになしてある。
【００３０】
なお、上記係止片１３を、待機時に常に自由状態としておく方法では、自転車が駐輪されたことを後記する駐輪確認センサーＳ１等で検出して、ソレノイド１４で上記係止片１３の係止が行われるようになせばよい。また、該ソレノイド１４は、通電時に係止片１３を自重に抗してフック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する方向に回動するようになしても、逆に、通電遮断時に、係止片１３を自重に抗してフック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する方向に回動するようになしてもよいのは無論である。さらに、本実施例では、該ソレノイド１４は、待機状態ではその作動片１４ａがスプリング１４ｂの付勢力で突出しており、通電するとこの作動片１４ａが電磁力で引き込まれるものが使用されている。そして、一度該作動片１４ａが電磁力で引き込まれると、図示はしていないが、通電を停止しても永久磁石等でその状態を保つものを使用してもよいものである。
【００３１】
なお、図４及び図５の実施例では、自転車Ｂの前輪ＦＷをその中に落とし込んで保持する上部が開口した樋状の前輪受台１ａ，１ｂ内に、上記移動片１１を収容してなる。そして、この移動片１１は、一端を水平軸３４で枢止され、他端をスプリング３１乃至フック体１２，１２の両腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂで、上方に向けて付勢された揺動自転車搭載板で構成され、この移動片１１上に自転車Ｂを乗せるとその荷重で該移動片１１が下方に回動するようになしてある。なお、該前輪受台１ａ，１ｂには前端にエンドプレート３３を、後端側の上部にストッパー３２を設けて、前輪ＦＷがこのエンドプレート３３とストッパー３２との間に落とし込まれると、通常の状態では、たとえ自転車Ｂを後進させるような力が加わっても、該前輪ＦＷはこの前輪受台１ａ，１ｂより脱落しないようになしてある。
【００３２】
また、上記したフック体１２，１２は、一対の軸受体３６，３６（前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの外面に固定したアングル等で構成してある。）に軸１６ａ，１６ａで枢止されて、そのフック部１２ａ，１２ａを上方に向けて立設した状態に対設・保持され、前記移動片１１は両フック体１２，１２の間で、前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの内側に位置するようになして、フック部１２ａ，１２ａと腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂとが前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの側面に設けた窓孔１ｃ，１ｃ．１ｃ・・・（図４参照）より該輪受台１ａ，１ｂ内に出入可能となし、上記フック体１２，１２で、前輪ＦＷの下端を抱き抱えるようにして係止するようになしている。
【００３３】
また、図４及び図５実施例の、フック体１２，１２は、その下部がスプリング３１でだがに引き寄せられ、待機状態にある際は、該移動片１１は腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂで押し上げられており、図４に実線で示すように、両フック体１２，１２はその上部が開くようになしてあり、移動片１１上に自転車Ｂが乗って、該移動片１１がその荷重で下降すると、両フック体１２，１２の腕部１２ｂ，１２ｂが、同図実線の状態から破線で示す状態に押されて、両フック体１２，１２の上部は閉じるようになっている。
【００３４】
そして、この実施例では、移動片１１を上昇不能に係止することで、両フック体１２，１２での前輪ＦＷの係止をロックできるようになしている。図５例では移動片１１の自由端側先端は下方に向けて折り曲げられて折曲部１１ｂとなし、この折曲部１１ｂに係止孔１１ａを設けてなる。なお、係止片１３とソレノイド１４とは、図１乃至図３実施例と略同じものを使用すればよく、また、図示はしていないが、上記フック体１２，１２には前記した同じトグルアーム１８，１８とコイルスプリング２１とを設けても差し支えない。
【００３５】
また、図６及び図７実施例では、上記駐輪装置本体１００は、ケース体１０２内に前記図１乃至図３実施例の駐輪装置本体１００（図６では、図示せず）が収納され、このケース体１０２には自転車Ｂの前輪ＦＷを導入する車輪導入溝部１０５が設けられ、この車輪導入溝部１０５の先端（図６左側）には前記移動片１１が突出してあり、また該車輪導入溝部１０５の先端側両立壁部に、前記フック体１２，１２の出没窓孔１０６，１０６を設けてある。
【００３６】
そして、本発明は、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成されている。この制御盤２００は、後にその詳細を説明するが、有料駐輪場に使用する場合は駐車料金の精算でソレノイド１４が作動して自転車の取出が可能となるようになせばよく、また、マンション等の私的な駐輪場ではパスワード（所定の数字）の入力等で自転車の取出が可能となるようになせばよい。
【００３７】
そして、前記駐輪装置本体１００は、水等の重量物を収容できるようになした槽体１０１の上に固定してなる。通常、この種駐輪装置は、図１に示すように、床面Ｆに柱体５，５ａ等を固定して、この柱体５，５ａ又は柱体に架設した横桟（図示せず）に固定するようになしているが、このような固定物の設置は専門職の手を借りなくてはならず、通常、コンクリートが使用され、このコンクリートが硬化するまでの時間を待って工事を行う必要性があるので、工事完了まで数日を要することになる。そこで、すでにコンクリート等を打設してある水平面（コンクリートの打設は必ずしも必須の要件ではなく、通常の空き地等でも差し支えない。）がある場合、そこに置くだけで設置できるようになしたもので、設置後、該槽体１０１内に水や、小石等の重量物を投入することで、その重量で、通常の使用状態では移動されないよう、固定できるようになしたものである。
【００３８】
図７に示す、上記槽体１０１は、中央部に容器状の槽本体部１０１ａを構成し、この槽本体部１０１ａの両側（図７左右両側）に空室部１０１ｂ，１０１ｂを構成してあり、この空室部１０１ｂ，１０１ｂの側面にはコード用通孔１０８，１０８を設けてある。そして、この槽体１０１の上に前記駐輪装置本体１００を収納したケース体１０２を連結固定してなる。なお、図示例では、該槽体１０１とケース体１０２との連結は、該該槽体１０１の上端部とケース体１０２の下端部とに対設した略Ｔ字状の欠部１０３ａ，１０３ｂに嵌合する、Ｈ型の連結片１０７，１０７，１０７・・・で連結するようになしてあるが、図示例とは異なり、ボルト止め等従来公知な連結手段で連結・固定するようになしても無論差し支えない。なお、図６及び図７に示す三角状の欠部１０９は、レール嵌合用で、床面Ｆにアングル状のレールを、その角部を上にして敷設し、この図示しないレールの上に、該欠部１０９，１０９が乗るようになすことで、槽体１０１、１０１，１０１・・・の位置決めが容易で、さらには、未舗装の空地にもきちんと整列・配置することを可能となしたものである。
【００３９】
従って、本発明では、自転車Ｂを所定の位置に入れると、移動片１１が移動してフック体１２，１２で前輪ＦＷを係止して、該移動片１１が係止片１３で移動不能に係止され、該自転車Ｂを取出不能に保持することができる。そこで、この自転車Ｂを取り出すには所定の操作で、ソレノイド１４を作動して自転車Ｂの取出を可能となせばよく、この操作としては、駐輪料金の精算、暗証番号の入力、会員証カード又はプリペイドカードの挿入等、従来公知なものを採用すればよい。
【００４０】
また、本発明駐輪装置は、道路の脇、駅前広場の交通への支障が少ない場所、マンションの共用空き地、自転車が乗り入れ可能となした屋上部等に、本発明装置を置くだけで、自転車を整列駐輪できるようになすことができ、駐輪の有料化、又は、特定の者のみの使用が可能となる駐輪装置を提供できるものである。また、本発明は、所定の手続で自転車が取り出し可能となるので、盗難が防止できる駐輪装置を提供できるものである。
【００４１】
次に、請求項２の発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成されてなるのは、前記請求項１の構成と同じである。
【００４２】
そして、本発明は、前記駐輪装置本体１００は、水等の重量物を収容できるようになした槽体１０１の上に、取付可能に配したケース体１０２に収納して取り付けるようになし、該槽体１０１の両側面には、この槽体１０１，１０１，１０１・・・を横方向に順次連結する連結具１０３を設け、さらに、上記ケース体１０２の両側面にも、上記槽体１０１の連結具１０３に連結できる他方側連結具を設けてなる。この連結具１０３は隣りに並置するもう一つの槽体１０１を連結するもので、図示例では、一方を略Ｔ字状の突出片部となし、他方（図７の右奥側面）を、図示はしていないが、前記した欠部１０３ａと同じ欠部が設けられ、この欠部に略Ｔ字状の突出片部が嵌合して連結されるようになしてある。なお、この連結具１０３も、図示例に限定されるものではなく、ボルト連結等、従来公知な連結具に代えてもよいのは無論である。
【００４３】
図６実施例は、前記車輪導入溝部１０５，１０５をケース体１０２の左右に一対対設し、一台に二台の自転車を図６の左右に駐輪するようになしてあるが、無論、該車輪導入溝部１０５は一方側のみとしてもよいものである。
【００４４】
従って、本発明では、槽体１０１，１０１，１０１・・・を横方向に連結することができることになるが、本発明では、さらに、上記ケース体１０２の両側面にも、上記槽体１０１の連結具１０３に連結できる他方側連結具を設けてなる。この、ケース体１０２の他方側連結具は、前記欠部１０３ａ、１０３ａが兼用されている。そして、図示はしていないが、槽体１０１の横に、槽体１０１でなくケース体１０２を連結することが可能となしている。従って、槽体１０１とケース体１０２とを順次交互に連結すると、槽体１０１の上には無論ケース体１０２を連結するので、該槽体１０１の高さ分順次高低差が発生し、自転車Ｂを並べて駐輪する際、最も横幅の広いハンドル部を高低段違いにして一部重ねることができ、駐輪間隔をより狭く設定できるものである。また、ケース体１０２のみで相対１０１を省略したものは、軽くて容易に変位することになるが、槽体１０１と連結することで、容易には移動しないようになすことができるものである。
【００４５】
次に、請求項３の発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、上記ソレノイド１４の電源回路を、駐輪料金の精算等の所定の手続で制御する制御盤２００とで構成されてなるのは、請求項１及び請求項２と同じである。
【００４６】
そして、本発明は、上記駐輪装置本体１００の係止片１３は、自由状態では自重で上記フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないようにする係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止して設け、この係止片１３の駆動用のソレノイド１４は該係止片１３の係止を脱着する際、該係止片１３を自由状態とするようになしてある。なお、この係止片１３を自由状態で係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止する構成は前記（段落番号００２６、００２７）したのでここでは説明を省略する。
【００４７】
従って、本発明では、係止片１３が係合を脱着（外す）する際は、ソレノイド１４で強制回動するのではなく、ソレノイド１４の作動片１４ａが、該係止片１３とは別個に移動し脱着可能状態を保持するので、この係止片１３の係止が荷重等で外れない状態であっても、ソレノイド１４の作動には影響がなく、また、この係止片１３の係止が外れない状態の主たる原因は自転車の荷重によるものであるから、この荷重を解除するべく、一度、駐輪中の自転車を持ち上げるか、該自転車を前進させることで、この係止片１３の噛み込み状態を解除できるようになすことができるものである。
【００４８】
次に、請求項４の発明は、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、該係止片１３の近傍には、該係止片１３を回動するソレノイド１４を設けてなる駐輪装置本体１００と、前記移動片１１の移動乃至はフック体１２，１２の回動に連動して回路が開閉するスイッチからなる駐輪確認センサーＳ１と、上記ソレノイド１４への通電回路を開閉制御する制御盤２００とで構成される。そして、上記駐輪装置本体１００は前記した請求項１乃至請求項３記載のものと同様の構成のものを使用すればよい。
【００４９】
また、上記駐輪確認センサーＳ１は、リミットスイッチ等で構成され、図２ではトグルアーム１８の後方に、図４例では移動片１１の下方に設けてなるが、この実施例では、トグルアーム１８及び移動片１１が急激に移動することがあり、該駐輪確認センサーＳ１に大きな衝撃を与えることもあるので、このような部位は破損の心配があって望ましくない。従って、該駐輪確認センサーＳ１の設置場所を図示例とは変更して、係止片１３の移動で該駐輪確認センサーＳ１が作動するようになすとよい。
【００５０】
そして、上記制御盤２００は、駐輪確認センサーＳ１よりの信号で駐輪を確認する駐輪信号処理手段２０１と、該駐輪信号処理手段２０１で駐輪が確認されるとタイマーをスタートするタイマー手段２０２と、該タイマー手段２０２で計測した駐輪時間を駐輪代金に換算する演算手段２０３と、該演算手段２０４で演算された駐輪代金を表示する表示手段２０４とを有し、さらに、コイン受入手段３００に投入されたコインの総額を識別するコイン識別手段２０７と、このコイン識別手段２０７で識別された金額と前記演算手段２０３で演算された金額が一致することを確認する精算手段２０５と、この精算手段２０５で駐輪時間に見合う金額が精算されたことを確認すると、前記ソレノイド１４への通電回路を開閉して前記係止片１３の係止を脱着する信号を出力するロック信号処理手段２０６とを設けてなる。すなわち、本発明では、駐輪されると請求項１の装置で、自転車Ｂを取出不能に保持して、定められた料金の支払いで該自転車Ｂを取り出すことができるようになしてある。
【００５１】
上記制御盤２００の構成を、図６のフロー図に従ってその制御手順を説明すると、先ず、ステップＳＴ１で駐輪確認センサーＳ１よりの信号が入力されるまで待機する。すなわち、本制御盤２００は駐輪確認センサーＳ１が駐輪を確認することでスタートする。なお、常套手段ではあるが、誤認識を防ぐため該駐輪確認センサーＳ１よりの入力信号は所定時間の間に所定回数入力されて初めて、駐輪されたことを確認するようになすとよい。
【００５２】
上記ステップＳＴ１で駐輪が確認されると、ステップＳＴ２で、次のステップＳＴ３のタイマーをリセットする。なお、タイマーのリセットはこのステップＳＴ３で必ずしも行わなくてもよく、後記するステップ６の後で行っても実質的には同じである。次いで、ステップＳＴ３でタイマーが始動され、このタイマーは次のステップ４で精算信号が入力されるのを確認されるまでタイマーカウントが続けられるようになしてある。
【００５３】
上記ステップ３でのタイマー測定値は、次の精算信号入力確認のステップＳＴ４に送られると共に、ステップＳＴ５にも送られ、このステップＳＴ５で駐輪時間に対応する駐輪料金に換算される。この換算は適宜な計算式で行えばよく、２４時間ごとに１００円又は２００円が加算される等、端数がでないような精算式が採用されることが望ましい。
【００５４】
上記ステップＳＴ５で駐輪時間に対応する駐輪料金が求められると、その値は、ステップＳＴ６に送られ、このステップＳＴ６では、別にコイン受入手段３００に投入されたコインをコイン識別手段２０７で識別してその合計金額をコイン投入金額信号として受け、駐輪料金と該コイン投入金額が一致するか否かを監視し、金額が一致するとステップＳＴ４に精算完了信号を出力する。
【００５５】
なお、上記ステップＳＴ６では、釣り銭を計算して払い戻ししたり、コイン受入手段３００を暗証番号入力手段や、プリぺードカード読取り手段等に変更してもよいものである。
【００５６】
上記ステップＳＴ４は、精算完了信号が入力されるまで待機し、精算完了信号が入力されると、ロック開信号をロック信号処理手段２０６に送信してソレノイド１４を作動させ、自転車Ｂを取出可能となすものである。
【００５７】
従って、本発明駐輪装置は、使用者が所定の場所に駐輪し、自転車を引き取る際は、精算を行えば、自由に自転車を取り出すことができるので、駐輪場の管理が無人化できる駐輪装置を提供できるものである。
【００５８】
次に、請求項５の発明は、自転車の前輪ＦＷを乗せる前輪受台１ａ，１ｂを、高低交互となるように段違い平行状に並置し、各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの後端には、後輪ＢＷを乗せる後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの先端部を縦軸４で枢着連結し、必要に応じて、この各後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはその後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させ、さらに、該後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの各後端下面側には、床面Ｆ上を転動する車輪３を夫々設けてある。すなわち、本発明は、自転車Ｂ，Ｂ，Ｂ・・・を整列駐輪することで、駐輪スペースを有効に利用するようになしたもので、さらには、整列駐輪することで、ルール通りの駐輪であるか否かを一見してわかるようになすことで、ルール通りに決められた場所にきちんと駐輪されるようになしたものである。
【００５９】
なお、上記後輪受台２ａ，２ｂは断面略Ｕ字状の樋形状となし、この後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはに案内されて前輪ＦＷを転動して、該前輪ＦＷを前輪受台１ａ，１ｂに誘導できるようになしてある。
【００６０】
自転車Ｂ，Ｂ，Ｂ・・・の整列駐輪において重要なことは、先ずは、自転車Ｂ，Ｂ，Ｂ・・・の並列間隔を狭めると、同じスペースに台数を多く駐輪できる。そして、そのためには、自転車はハンドル部位やペタル部位が最も幅が広いので、ハンドルの幅以下の間隔で自転車を並列するには、自転車を一台ごとに、前後又は上下に交互にその位置を変える必要性がある。そして、自転車を前後に位置を交互に変えて並べると、自転車の前後方向に駐輪スペースが多く必要となり、駐輪スペースの後方を歩行用スペース等に利用するのに制限が加わることがあるので、駐輪する自転車は交互にその位置を上下方向にずらす方がスペースの有効利用には望ましい。
【００６１】
しかし、自転車を上下方向に一台ごとに交互に上下に位置を変えることは、重たい自転車Ｂを持ち上げなければ駐輪できないという問題点を生ずる。そこで、本発明は自転車の前輪ＦＷ側のみを、その高さを上下交互に位置を変えて、自転車を所定の場所に転動させつつ導入することで、容易に駐輪が可能となるようにしたもので、自転車Ｂの前輪ＦＷを乗せる前輪受台１ａ，１ｂを、高低交互となるように段違い平行状に並置し、各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの後端には、後輪ＢＷを乗せる後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの先端部を連結し、必要に応じて、この各後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはその後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させて、駐輪を容易に行えるようになしてある。なお、必要に応じて後輪受台２ａ，２ｂはその後端側が床面Ｆに近づくように傾斜させるとしたのは、低段側の後輪受台２ｂは必ずしも傾斜する必要性はない（水平でもよい）ことを意味するものである。
【００６２】
なお、駐輪する自転車Ｂ，Ｂ，Ｂ・・・の間隔を狭めると、使用者は自転車Ｂの横に立つことができず、駐輪及び自転車の取り出し作業が困難となる。そこで、本発明は、後輪ＢＷを乗せる後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの先端部を縦軸４で、前輪受台１ａ，１ｂの後端に枢着連結し、さらに、該後輪受台２ａ，２ｂの各後端下面側には、床面Ｆ上を転動する車輪３を夫々設けて、後輪側を平面左右方向（図１の奥手前方向）に移動可能となして、自転車を完全に平行に並べるのではなく、後輪側は併置した自転車の間隔を変更可能として、何台かの自転車Ｂ，Ｂ，Ｂ・・・の後輪ＢＷ側を移動することで、利用者が並置されている自転車Ｂ，Ｂの間に入ることができるようになし、この間隔部位内に利用者が入って駐輪及び駐輪した自転車の取出が作業性よく行えるようになしたものである。
【００６３】
そして、本発明は、上記各前輪受台１ａ，１ｂ部位には、自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されることで移動する移動片１１と、該移動片１１が自転車Ｂが進入又は搭載されて移動すると、先端側が該自転車Ｂの車輪ＦＷの一部を両側より抱き抱えるように閉じる方向に回動する一対のフック体１２，１２と、該フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないように係止する係止片１３とを有し、上記係止片１３は、自由状態では自重で上記フック体１２，１２の先端側が開かないようにする係止を解く方向に回動する状態に枢止して設け、上記係止片１３の近傍には、必要時に該係止片１３の係止を脱着して該係止片１３を自由状態となすソレノイド１４を設けた駐輪装置本体１００を夫々配してなる。なお、この駐輪装置本体１００は請求項２と同じ構成のものを使用すればよい。
【００６４】
なお、図中、符号２４は、フック部１２，１２の回動時の抵抗を低減するため基板１５に設けた突起、２６はフック部１２，１２の回動範囲を規制する溝体で、この溝体２６には基板１５等に立設した軸２５が差し込まれている。また、図５の符号３５は、移動片１１の下降ストッパーを示すものである。
【００６５】
【発明の効果】
本発明請求項１乃至請求項５の発明によれば、利用者が所定の場所に駐輪し、利用者自らが駐輪時間に対応した駐輪料金の精算等を行って、駐輪した自転車を取り出し、駐輪管理に人手を要さない駐輪装置を提供できるものである。

[0037]
The bicycle parking device body 100 is fixed on a tank body 101 capable of storing a heavy object such as water. Normally, as shown in FIG. 1, this kind of bicycle parking device fixes a pillar 5, 5a or the like to a floor surface F, and a horizontal rail (not shown) erected on the pillar 5, 5a or the pillar. However, the installation of such fixtures requires the assistance of a professional, and concrete is usually used. It will take several days to complete the construction because it needs to be done. Therefore, if there is a horizontal surface on which concrete etc. has already been cast (concreting is not always an essential requirement, ordinary vacant lots etc. may be used), it can be installed simply by placing it there. Then, after installation, a heavy object such as water or pebbles is put into the tank body 101 so that the tank body 101 can be fixed by its weight so as not to be moved in a normal use state.
[0038]
The tank body 101 shown in FIG. 7 has a container-shaped tank main body 101a in the center, and vacant chambers 101b, 101b on both sides (left and right sides in FIG. 7) of the tank main body 101a.

The triangular cutout 109 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is for rail fitting, and an angled rail is laid on the floor F with its corners facing up. By allowing the notches 109, 109 to ride, positioning of the tank bodies 101, 101, 101,... Is easy, and furthermore, it is possible to properly align and arrange in unpaved open space. Things.
[0039]
Therefore, according to the present invention, when the bicycle B is put into a predetermined position, the moving piece 11 moves and the front wheel FW is locked by the hooks 12, 12 so that the moving piece 11 cannot be moved by the locking piece 13. The bicycle B can be locked so that the bicycle B cannot be removed. Therefore, in order to take out the bicycle B, it is only necessary to operate the solenoid 14 so that the bicycle B can be taken out by a predetermined operation. This operation includes the adjustment of the bicycle parking fee, the input of the personal identification number, the membership card, and the like. Alternatively, a conventionally known card such as insertion of a prepaid card may be adopted.
[0040]
In addition, the bicycle parking device of the present invention can be used for bicycles simply by placing the device on the side of a road, in a place near a station square where traffic is less obstructed, in a common vacant lot of an apartment, or on a rooftop where bicycles can be used. It is possible to provide a bicycle parking device that can arrange bicycle parking in a line, and can make bicycle parking for a fee or be used only by a specific person. Further, the present invention can provide a bicycle parking device that can prevent theft because the bicycle can be taken out according to a predetermined procedure.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 provides a moving piece 11 that moves when the bicycle B enters or is mounted, and a tip end of the moving piece 11 when the moving piece 11 moves when the bicycle B enters or is mounted. It has a pair of hooks 12 and 12 that rotate in the closing direction so as to hold a part of the FW from both sides and a locking piece 13 that locks the tip of the hooks 12 and 12 so as not to open. In the vicinity of the locking piece 13, a bicycle parking device main body 100 provided with a solenoid 14 for rotating the locking piece 13 and a power supply circuit of the solenoid 14 are provided in a predetermined manner such as for adjusting a parking fee. A control panel 200 controlled by a procedure is the same as the configuration of the first aspect.
[0042]
In the present invention, the bicycle parking device main body 100 is housed and mounted on a case body 102 which can be mounted on a tank body 101 capable of storing a heavy object such as water, .. Are provided on both sides of the tank body 101 in order to sequentially connect the tank bodies 101, 101, 101,... To the side surfaces of the case body 102. Is provided on the other side that can be connected to the connecting tool 103. This connecting tool 103 connects another tank body 101 that is arranged next to the adjacent one. In the illustrated example, one is formed as a substantially T-shaped projecting piece, and the other (the right rear side surface in FIG. 7) is illustrated. Although not shown, the same notch as the above-mentioned notch 103a is provided, and a substantially T-shaped protruding piece is fitted and connected to this notch. It is to be noted that the connection tool 103 is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be replaced with a conventionally known connection tool such as a bolt connection.
[0043]
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the wheel introduction grooves 105, 105 are provided in a pair on the left and right sides of the case body 102, and two bicycles are parked on the left and right sides of FIG. 6. The wheel introduction groove 105 may be provided only on one side.
[0044]
Therefore, in the present invention, the tank bodies 101, 101, 101,... Can be connected in the lateral direction, but in the present invention, the tank bodies 101 are further provided on both side surfaces of the case body 102. The other-side connecting tool that can be connected to the connecting tool 103 is provided. The other side connecting member of the case body 102 also serves as the cutouts 103a, 103a. Although not shown, a case body 102 can be connected to the side of the tank body 101 instead of the tank body 101. Therefore, when the tank body 101 and the case body 102 are sequentially and alternately connected, the case body 102 is of course connected on the tank body 101, so that a height difference is sequentially generated by the height of the tank body 101, and the bicycle B When the bicycles are parked side by side, the handle portion having the widest width can be partially overlapped with a difference in height, and the bicycle parking interval can be set narrower. In addition, the case body 102 only, in which the relative 101 is omitted, is light and easily displaced, but by being connected to the tank body 101, it can be prevented from moving easily.
[0045]
Next, according to the invention of claim 3, a moving piece 11 that moves when the bicycle B enters or mounts, and when the moving piece 11 moves when the bicycle B enters or mounts, the tip side is a wheel of the bicycle B. It has a pair of hooks 12 and 12 that rotate in the closing direction so as to hold a part of the FW from both sides and a locking piece 13 that locks the tip of the hooks 12 and 12 so as not to open. In the vicinity of the locking piece 13, a bicycle parking device main body 100 provided with a solenoid 14 for rotating the locking piece 13 and a power supply circuit of the solenoid 14 are provided in a predetermined manner such as for adjusting a parking fee. The control panel 200 controlled by the procedure is the same as the first and second aspects.
[0046]
In the present invention, the locking piece 13 of the bicycle parking device main body 100 is pivoted in a state where the locking piece 13 is rotated in a direction of releasing the locking that prevents the distal ends of the hook bodies 12 from opening by its own weight in a free state. The solenoid 14 for driving the locking piece 13 is set to be in a free state when the locking of the locking piece 13 is detached. Since the structure for pivotally locking the locking piece 13 in the free state in the unlocking direction has been described above (paragraph numbers 0026 and 0027), the description is omitted here.
[0047]
Therefore, in the present invention, when the locking piece 13 is disengaged (disengaged), the operation piece 14 a of the solenoid 14 is not separately rotated by the solenoid 14 but separately from the locking piece 13. Since the movable piece is held in the detachable state, even if the locking of the locking piece 13 cannot be released due to a load or the like, the operation of the solenoid 14 is not affected, and the locking of the locking piece 13 is not affected. The main cause of the state in which the bicycle does not come off is due to the load on the bicycle, and in order to release the load, once the bicycle is parked or the bicycle is advanced, the bite of the locking piece 13 is released. It is possible to cancel the inset state.
[0048]
Next, according to the invention of claim 4, the moving piece 11 moves when the bicycle B enters or mounts, and when the moving piece 11 moves when the bicycle B enters or mounts, the tip side is the wheel of the bicycle B. It has a pair of hooks 12 and 12 that rotate in the closing direction so as to hold a part of the FW from both sides and a locking piece 13 that locks the tip of the hooks 12 and 12 so as not to open. In the vicinity of the locking piece 13, a bicycle parking device main body 100 provided with a solenoid 14 for rotating the locking piece 13, and for the movement of the moving piece 11 or the rotation of the hook bodies 12, 12. It is composed of a bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 composed of a switch that opens and closes in conjunction with a circuit, and a control panel 200 that controls opening and closing of a current supply circuit to the solenoid. The bicycle parking device body 100 may have the same configuration as that of the first to third aspects.
[0049]
Further, the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 is constituted by a limit switch or the like, and is provided behind the toggle arm 18 in FIG. 2 and below the movable piece 11 in the example of FIG. In addition, since the moving piece 11 may move suddenly and give a large impact to the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1, such a portion is not desirable because there is a fear of damage. Therefore, the installation location of the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 may be changed from that in the illustrated example so that the movement of the locking piece 13 activates the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1.
[0050]
The control panel 200 includes a bicycle parking signal processing unit 201 for confirming bicycle parking based on a signal from the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1, and a timer for starting a timer when the bicycle parking signal processing unit 201 confirms bicycle parking. Means 202, a calculating means 203 for converting the bicycle parking time measured by the timer means 202 into a bicycle parking price, and a display means 204 for displaying the bicycle parking price calculated by the calculating means 204, A coin identification means 207 for identifying the total amount of coins inserted into the coin receiving means 300; and a settlement means 205 for confirming that the amount identified by the coin identification means 207 matches the amount calculated by the arithmetic means 203. When the settlement means 205 confirms that the amount of money corresponding to the parking time has been settled, the circuit for energizing the solenoid 14 is opened and closed to lock the locking piece 13. Formed by providing a lock signal processing means 206 for outputting a signal to desorb the. That is, according to the present invention, when the bicycle is parked, the bicycle B can be held so as not to be able to be taken out, and the bicycle B can be taken out at a predetermined fee.
[0051]
The control procedure of the control panel 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6. First, in step ST1, the process waits until a signal from the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 is input. That is, the control panel 200 starts when the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 confirms that the bicycle is parked. Although it is a conventional means, it is preferable to confirm that the bicycle is parked only after the input signal from the bicycle parking confirmation sensor S1 is input a predetermined number of times during a predetermined time in order to prevent erroneous recognition.
[0052]
If the parking is confirmed in step ST1, the timer in the next step ST3 is reset in step ST2. The resetting of the timer is not necessarily performed in step ST3, and is substantially the same even if performed after step 6 described later. Next, in step ST3, a timer is started, and the timer is configured to continue counting the timer until it is confirmed in the next step 4 that the settlement signal is input.
[0053]
The timer measurement value in step 3 is sent to the next settlement signal input confirmation step ST4 and also sent to step ST5, where it is converted into a bicycle parking fee corresponding to the bicycle parking time. This conversion may be performed by an appropriate calculation formula, and it is preferable to use a calculation formula that does not have a fraction, such as adding 100 yen or 200 yen every 24 hours.
[0054]
When the bicycle parking fee corresponding to the bicycle parking time is obtained in step ST5, the value is sent to step ST6. In this step ST6, the coin inserted into the coin receiving means 300 is identified by the coin identifying means 207. Then, the total amount is received as a coin insertion amount signal, and it is monitored whether or not the bicycle parking fee matches the coin insertion amount. If the amounts match, a settlement completion signal is output to step ST4.
[0055]
In step ST6, the change may be calculated and paid back, or the coin receiving means 300 may be changed to a password input means, a prepaid card reading means, or the like.
[0056]
The step ST4 waits until the settlement completion signal is inputted, and when the settlement completion signal is inputted, the lock opening signal is transmitted to the lock signal processing means 206 to operate the solenoid 14 to take out the bicycle B. What to do.
[0057]
Therefore, the bicycle parking device of the present invention allows a user to park a bicycle at a predetermined place and pick up a bicycle, and if the payment is made, the bicycle can be taken out freely. An apparatus can be provided.
[0058]
Next, according to the invention of claim 5, the front wheel cradle 1a, 1b on which the front wheel FW of the bicycle is mounted is juxtaposed in parallel so as to be alternately high and low, and at the rear end of each front wheel cradle 1a, 1b, The front ends of the rear wheel supports 2a and 2b on which the rear wheels BW are mounted are pivotally connected to each other with a vertical axis 4, and if necessary, each of the rear wheel supports 2a and 2b has its rear end approaching the floor F. In addition, wheels 3 that roll on the floor F are provided on the lower surface of the rear end of each of the rear wheel supports 2a and 2b. That is, according to the present invention, the bicycles B, B, B... Are arranged and parked so that the bicycle parking space is effectively used. By making it possible to see at a glance whether or not the bicycle is parked, the bicycle can be parked properly in the place determined according to the rules.
[0059]
The rear wheel supports 2a, 2b are formed in a gutter shape having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the rear wheel supports 2a, 2b are guided by the front wheels FW to roll the front wheels FW. 1a and 1b.
[0060]
What is important in the aligned bicycle parking of the bicycles B, B, B... First, if the parallel interval of the bicycles B, B, B. And for that purpose, the handlebars and the petal parts of the bicycle are the widest, so to arrange the bicycles at intervals less than the width of the handlebar, alternately position the bicycles one by one, back and forth or up and down. There is a need to change. And if you arrange the bicycles alternately in the front and back, you will need a lot of bicycle parking space in the front and back direction of the bicycle, and there may be restrictions on using the back of the bicycle parking space for walking space etc. It is desirable to alternately shift the position of bicycles to be parked vertically in order to make effective use of space.
[0061]
However, alternately changing the position of the bicycle in the vertical direction one by one causes a problem that the bicycle cannot be parked unless the heavy bicycle B is lifted. In view of the above, the present invention introduces a method in which only the front wheel FW side of a bicycle is alternately moved up and down in height and introduced while rolling the bicycle to a predetermined place, so that the bicycle can be easily parked. The front wheel cradle 1a, 1b on which the front wheel FW of the bicycle B is to be mounted is juxtaposed in parallel so as to be alternate in height, and the rear wheel BW is mounted on the rear end of each front wheel cradle 1a, 1b. The front ends of the rear wheel supports 2a, 2b are connected, and if necessary, each of the rear wheel supports 2a, 2b is inclined so that the rear end thereof approaches the floor surface F, so that the bicycle can be easily parked. It has been done. The reason that the rear wheel cradle 2a, 2b is inclined so that the rear end side approaches the floor surface F as needed is that the rear wheel cradle 2b on the low stage side does not necessarily need to be inclined (horizontal). May be used).
[0062]
If the distance between the bicycles B, B, B,... Parked is reduced, the user cannot stand beside the bicycle B, and it becomes difficult to park the bicycles and take out the bicycles. In view of the above, according to the present invention, the front ends of the rear wheel cradle 2a, 2b on which the rear wheel BW is mounted are pivotally connected to the rear ends of the front wheel cradle 1a, 1b with the longitudinal axis 4, and further, the rear wheel cradle 2a , 2b, wheels 3 that roll on the floor F are provided on the lower surface side of each rear end, so that the rear wheel side can be moved in the horizontal direction on the plane (forward in FIG. 1), and the bicycle can be moved. Instead of being arranged completely in parallel, the rear wheel side can change the interval of the bicycles juxtaposed, and by moving some bicycles B, B, B ... rear wheel BW side, the user can The bicycles B, B are arranged side by side, so that the user can enter the space between the bicycles B and B to park the bicycle and take out the bicycle with good workability. .
