Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking machine for parking a bicycle, and more particularly, to a bicycle parking machine capable of saving a parking space by lifting and parking a bicycle by a simple and easy operation.

  Conventionally, the most popular method for parking a bicycle is to simply place the bicycle side by side on a flat ground or floor. In this case, as shown in FIG. Occupied, since X> Y, if the vehicle is parked with Y, the space obtained by subtracting the dimension of Y from X can be saved.

  Bicycles must be erected in order to park in such a Y dimension, arm power is required for human power, and electric power is used because it is difficult for women, elderly people, and children. .

The operation of the electric power is wirelessly attached to the bicycle parking machine.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-317701

  Conventionally, there are few bicycle parking lots in urban areas, and bicycles are illegally parked on sidewalks and roadways, which has caused social problems such as pedestrians walking on roadways and encountering accidents. Although bicycle parking spaces are provided as a countermeasure against accidents, the number of bicycles cannot keep up with the number of bicycles, and the bicycles overflow, causing not only pedestrians but also traffic jams, leading to an increase in traffic accidents. Recently, a public bicycle parking lot is installed and managed by an administrator, but the actual situation is that it has not progressed as expected because it requires a large amount of personnel and equipment costs. An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking machine that can easily park a bicycle in a small space even by a woman, an elderly person, or a child.

  In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is directed to a pedestal fixed to the ground or a floor, a support fixed to the support, and a rotary chain formed by an electric motor installed in the support. A belt and a hook band are hung on the chain belt, a bicycle front wheel is hung on the hook band, and a pedestal and a column are provided with wheel grooves. Perform by machine.

  According to the bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention, the bicycle parking space can be reduced, so that the space for parking can be reduced. The front and rear wheels are held by the wheel groove to prevent the bicycle from floating and falling off the bicycle parking machine.

  This was realized by providing wheel bases on the pedestal and support column, hanging the front wheel with a hook band and standing up, and operating the drive chain belt with an electric motor with a radio.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in the side view of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and the front view of FIG. 3, the bicycle parking apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a pedestal 3 fixed to the ground or a floor and a column 2 connected to the pedestal 3. The electric motor 4 is provided at the bottom of the support column 2.

The chain belt 4b is rotated by the electric motor 4 installed in the support column 2.
A hook band 5 is hung on the chain belt 4b. The rotational speed of the electric motor 4 is decelerated by the speed reducer and can rotate in the forward and reverse directions.

The chain belt 4b is rotated by a pulley 4a on each of the electric motor 4 side and the upper side of the column 2.

The front wheel 8a of the bicycle 8 is held in the wheel groove 6 on the pedestal 3 side, the hook band 5 suspended on the chain belt 4b is hooked on the front wheel 8a, and the lifting switch of the remote radio transmitter 7a is used to lift the bicycle 8. When is pushed, the front wheel 8a is lifted by being held by the wheel groove 6 on the support column 2 side from the wheel groove 6 on the pedestal 3 side, and the rear wheel 8b is held on the wheel groove 6 on the pedestal 3 side in the same manner as the front wheel 8a. When the chain belt 4b is rotated by the pulley 4a, the bicycle 8 is lifted, and in FIG. 2, the rotation is stopped in the state where the parking is completed. For example, if the lifting is the normal rotation of the electric motor 4 and the rotation of the electric motor 4 is reversed, the front wheel 8a and the rear wheel 8b of the bicycle 8 are wheel grooves on the support 2 side and the pedestal 3 side. Go down 6 and the bike 8 will come down.

The forward / reverse rotation of the chain belt 4b by the pulley 4a is performed by operating the remote radio transmitter 7a. However, the control of forward / reverse rotation and operation stop by receiving the transmission signal of the wireless transmitter 7a is wireless. This is done at the receiver 7. Conventionally, since an operation switch has been fixedly installed in an electric bicycle parking apparatus, it is difficult for one person to put a bicycle on the bicycle parking machine or to lower the bicycle while operating, and an assistant is required. By doing so, you can do it alone without the need for an assistant.

In addition, by providing the wheel groove 6 on the support 2 side and the pedestal 3 side, the bicycle was prevented from floating off the bicycle parking machine and falling off the bicycle parking machine, but the problem was solved.

Furthermore, by hanging the hook band 5 on the chain belt 4b, a woman, an elderly person, or a child can be easily hooked on the front wheel 8a of the bicycle 8.

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking machine for parking a bicycle, and more particularly to a bicycle parking machine capable of saving a bicycle parking space by lifting and parking a bicycle by a simple and easy operation.

It is a side view of the bicycle parking machine concerning this invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the bicycle parking apparatus shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the bicycle parking apparatus shown in FIG. It is a side view of a general bicycle.
