Description

  The present invention relates to a two-wheeled vehicle fixing device for fixing a two-wheeled vehicle and a two-wheeled vehicle parking system using the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device, and more particularly, to a two-wheeled vehicle fixing device for gripping both sides of a two-wheeled vehicle and a two-wheeled vehicle using the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device. The present invention also relates to a motorcycle parking system for controlling delivery.

  Conventionally, a vehicle lock device is generally used in a parking lot in order to prevent the four-wheeled vehicle from leaving the vehicle illegally. This vehicle lock device prevents unauthorized vehicle exit from the passenger compartment by raising a vehicle lock plate in front of or behind the vehicle. When the vehicle lock plate stands up, the vehicle cannot leave the vehicle compartment unless the vehicle lock plate is forcibly overturned.

However, in the case of a two-wheeled vehicle, even if a vehicle locking device similar to that of a four-wheeled vehicle is used in the bicycle parking room, the two-wheeled vehicle can be easily moved out of the passenger compartment by lifting the wheel and passing through the vehicle lock plate. Can do. In order to prevent such unauthorized shipping, Patent Document 1 proposes a device for fixing the wheels of a motorcycle.

  This device lifts the front wheel by sliding the front wheel support device on which the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle is slid forward to close the two-wheeled vehicle exit by closing the two-wheeled vehicle outlet and locking the self-supporting front wheel lock body to the front wheel frame. Disable. As described above, the device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-290084 basically attempts to prevent the lifting of the two-wheeled vehicle by a mechanical configuration, but the front wheel lock body is fluid pressure such as hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure. Alternatively, it is stated that the wheel may be set in a locked / unlocked state by an electric motor or the like.

  However, in the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the front wheel lock body is operated by fluid pressure such as hydraulic pressure or air pressure or an electric motor, it is disclosed what technical configuration is used to fix the wheels of the motorcycle. Absent.

  In the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the hook body locks the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle, but the hook body has a weak locking force and can be easily removed from the wheel. Furthermore, the flapper that closes the two-wheeled vehicle exit is configured to be raised by a pulling force generated by a flapper operating body that is locked to a front wheel support device that has slid forward, but the hook-shaped front end and the flapper operating body are provided on the motorcycle. It is difficult to ensure stable operation over a long period of time in a poor use environment where a strong force is applied when entering.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problem. When the vehicle detection sensor detects that the two-wheeled vehicle starts to enter the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device and is installed in the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device, the pair of pressing bodies are wheels. The two-wheeled vehicle is fixed by gripping from both sides.

  The invention of the present application is characterized in that the pressing body is moved using an electric motor, hydraulic pressure, or air pressure as a driving source.

  According to the present invention, when the vehicle detection sensor detects that the two-wheeled vehicle is installed in the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device, the pair of pressing bodies are gripped from both sides of the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle. A fixation device can be provided. In addition, since the vehicle detection sensor detects the entry of the two-wheeled vehicle and the signal from the vehicle detection sensor is transmitted to the settlement machine, the usage fee for the parked two-wheeled vehicle can be easily settled.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the drawings represent one embodiment of the present invention, and are simplified for easy understanding of features of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the description of the drawings and examples, and is defined only by the description of the scope of claims.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 includes press drive units 12 and 12 attached to a base body 11, a wheel front holding member 13, a wheel rear holding member 14, and a vehicle detection sensor 15. As will be described later, the pressing drive unit 12 includes a pair of pressing plates 16 and 16 for gripping the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle, and a driving unit 18 for moving the pressing plates 16 and 16 in the horizontal direction 17.

  The wheel front portion holding member 13 is horizontally installed on support columns 19 and 19 extending vertically from the base 11 in order to hold the front portion of a wheel of a motorcycle (including a motorcycle and a bicycle) that has entered the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10. It is attached to the connecting member 20. The holding member 13 rotates to properly contact the wheel surface of the entered motorcycle. The wheel rear holding member 14 is attached to a connecting member 21 installed on the bases 11 and 11 and is erected by a spring or the like (not shown) in the case of an empty vehicle. The holding member 14 guides the two-wheeled vehicle that has entered into the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10, and when the two-wheeled vehicle has completely entered, the holding member 14 is applied to the rear portion of the wheel and holds the wheel firmly in cooperation with the wheel front portion holding member 13. .

  The connecting member 21 rotates with the central axis of the connecting member 21 as a rotation axis as the wheel of the motorcycle enters the wheel rear holding member 14. The vehicle detection sensor 15 is attached to detect the rotation of the connecting member 21, and the detection signal is transmitted to the pressing drive unit 12 via a signal line (not shown).

  Next, the movement of each part of the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 when a two-wheeled vehicle enters will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a state in which the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle are mounted on the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10. First, it is assumed that the two-wheeled vehicle enters the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 from the direction of the arrow 23 in a state where the two-wheeled vehicle is not parked as shown in FIG. The wheel 24 of the two-wheeled vehicle is received by the standing wheel rear holding member 14 and starts to enter. When the two-wheeled vehicle is further pushed forward, the holding member 14 starts to rotate, and the connecting member 21 also starts to rotate accordingly. When the holding member 14 completely falls and the wheel 24 of the two-wheeled vehicle enters, the wheel 24 is received into the wheel front holding member 13.

  When the holding member 14 completely falls, the vehicle detection sensor 15 transmits a signal indicating that the two-wheeled vehicle is installed in the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 to the pressing drive unit 12. In response to the signal, the pressing drive unit 12 starts moving the pressing plates 16 and 16 toward the wheel 24 and grips the wheel 24. When the pressing plates 16, 16 press the wheel 24 and the movement is blocked, the pressing drive unit 12 stops urging the pressing plates 16, 16. Since the pressing plates 16 and 16 press the wheel 24 with a constant pressure, the two-wheeled vehicle cannot be lifted. That is, the two-wheeled vehicle cannot be illegally issued from the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10.

  When the pressing plates 16, 16 hold the wheel 24, the pressing drive unit 12 sends a charging start signal to the settlement machine 25 together with the parking space number, and starts charging the parking space.

  In order to take out the motorcycle from the parking space, the user can release the wheel 24 from the pressing plates 16 and 16 by pressing a delivery button 27 attached to the support column 26. That is, when the exit button 27 is pressed, the exit signal is sent to the pressing drive unit 12 via the signal line 28, and the pressing plates 16 and 16 move to the initial position in response to the signal. By releasing the wheel 24 from the pressing plates 16, the user can take out the two-wheeled vehicle from the fixing device 10.

  As described above, when the exit button 26 is pressed, an exit signal is sent to the pressing drive unit 12, and at the same time, the exit signal is sent to the settlement machine together with the parking space number. The settlement machine 25 that has received the delivery signal stops adding the parking fee, calculates the parking fee for the user, and displays it on the display unit 29 of the settlement machine 25. The user inputs the displayed bicycle parking fee into the checkout machine 25 and receives the receipt to finish the checkout.

  Next, the pressing drive unit shown in FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating the operation of the pressing drive unit 12. The press drive part 12 which concerns on the Example of this invention is comprised by a pair, hold | grips the wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle from both sides, and fixes a two-wheeled vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the pair of pressing drive units 12 are arranged symmetrically so that the pressing plates 16, 16 face each other.

  The pressing drive unit 12 converts the pressing plate 32 from a rotational output of the electric motor 31 into a horizontal reciprocating motion 33 via a worm gear. The rotation of the electric motor 31 is transmitted to the gear 35 by the shaft 34. The rotation of the gear 35 is transmitted to the gear 36 meshed with the gear 35, and the rotation is transmitted to the worm 37. The worm wheel 38 threaded inward is engaged with the worm 37, and the worm wheel 38 reciprocates in the axial direction of the worm 37 in accordance with the rotational direction of the worm 37. Since the worm wheel 38 is connected to the pressing plate 32 by the connecting member 39, when the worm wheel 38 reciprocates, the pressing plate 32 similarly reciprocates.

  In this embodiment, the pressing drive unit 12 converts the rotational motion of the electric motor 31 into the reciprocating motion of the pressing plate 32. However, instead of the electric motor, the pressing drive unit 12 directly reciprocates the pressing plate 32 using hydraulic pressure or air pressure. You can also exercise.

  Next, the operation of the two-wheeled vehicle fixing system using the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a flow 40 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the two-wheeled vehicle fixing system includes a two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10, a checkout machine 25, and a delivery button 27.

  In step 41 of the flow 40, the two-wheeled vehicle starts to enter the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10. That is, the process proceeds to step 42, and when the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle starts to hit the holding member 14, the connecting member 21 starts rotating. As the connecting member 21 rotates, the vehicle detection sensor 15 coupled to the connecting member 21 also detects the rotation angle of the connecting member 21. When the front wheel 24 of the two-wheeled vehicle completely tilts the holding member 14 and is received into the wheel front portion holding member 13, the process proceeds to step 43, and the pressing bodies 16 and 16 start moving in the wheel direction.

  In step 44, when the wheel 24 is completely gripped with a constant pressure, the pressing members 16 and 16 are stopped, and a signal for starting charging is sent from the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device 10 to the checkout machine 25. When the settlement machine 25 receives the signal, the process proceeds to step 45, where the settlement machine 25 starts charging. Thereby, the user can leave the motorcycle parked.

  When entering the shipping stage, the user starts to settle the bicycle parking fee with the settlement machine. In step 46, when the user inputs the bicycle parking place number or the like to the settlement machine 25, the settlement of the bicycle parking fee starts. Proceeding to step 47, the parking fee is displayed on the display screen 29 for the convenience of the user. If it is determined in step 48 that the displayed fee has been paid and the checkout is completed, a receipt is issued in step 49 and a series of checkout procedures is completed.

  When the checkout procedure is completed, the user returns to the parking space of the two-wheeled motorcycle and presses the unloading button 27 to unload the two-wheeled vehicle. In step 50, it is determined whether or not the delivery button has been pressed. If it is determined that the exit button has been pressed, the pressing plate holding the wheel is released from the wheel and released. Thus, the user can take out the motorcycle from the parking space.

  The two-wheeled vehicle fixing device and the two-wheeled vehicle parking system using the fixing device according to the present invention grip and fix the wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle from both sides with a constant pressure, and therefore effectively prevent the act of raising the two-wheeled vehicle and illegally issuing goods. Can do. Further, since the pressing body that grips the wheels is driven by an electric motor, hydraulic pressure, or pneumatic pressure, the two-wheeled vehicle fixing device can be made compact, so that a large parking space for two-wheeled vehicles can be secured in the bicycle parking lot.
