DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a motorcycle stand and a mechanical parking lot according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The mechanical parking lot P shown in FIG. 8 is generally called a vertical circulation system. In this vertical circulation system, a plurality of vehicle pallets Cp for parking and storing automobiles are provided, and each vehicle pallet Cp is suspended by an endless chain (not shown) and is oval or It is arranged in a circle.

Such a vertical circulation type mechanical parking lot P is configured such that each vehicle pallet Cp continuously circulates along with an endless chain between the loading / unloading position and the parking position.
The loading / unloading position is a pallet position for placing the automobile on the vehicle pallet Cp and taking out the automobile from the vehicle pallet Cp. In the illustrated configuration example, the lower part is loaded and unloaded at the lower part continuously circulating in an oval shape. A boarding ceremony is adopted.

Hereinafter, a motorcycle stand that enables parking of a motorcycle with respect to the vehicle pallet Cp of the mechanical parking lot P described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.
The illustrated motorcycle stand 1 moves and stores the motorcycle Mb mounted at the mounting position to the storage position on the vehicle pallet Cp when the vehicle pallet Cp of the mechanical parking lot P is at the loading / unloading position. It is an instrument. This motorcycle stand Cp is equipped with a motorcycle Mb and can move between a mounting position and a storage position, and the front frame Fw of the motorcycle Mb can be made independent by being attached to the carriage frame 10. A front wheel holding tool 20 to be held and a seat fixing tool 30 for fixing the seat portion S of the motorcycle to the carriage frame 10 are provided.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the carriage frame 10 is formed by connecting a pair of left and right main members 10 a arranged in parallel so as to substantially match the width of the motorcycle Mb with a plurality of coupling members. It is formed in a long and narrow rectangular shape. A plurality of pairs of left and right wheels 11 (seven pairs in the illustrated example) are attached to the main member 10a of the carriage frame 10 in order to enable smooth movement, for example, by a guide rail laid on the vehicle pallet Cp side. ing. Further, a handle 12 that is used when the carriage frame 10 is moved is provided on one end side of the carriage frame 10.

In the bogie frame 10 described above, reference numeral 13 in the figure is a guide plate that enables smooth movement when the front wheel Fw of the motorcycle Mb is attached to and detached from the front wheel holder 20, and reference numeral 14 in the figure is the front wheel. It is a support member that fixes and installs the holder 20.
Further, the above-described cart frame 10 is provided with locking rings 15 that function as a securing tool fixture of the seat fixture 30 described later on the main members 10a on the left and right sides.

The front wheel holder 20 is an instrument that is attached to the carriage frame 10 and holds the front wheel Fw of the motorcycle Mb in a self-supporting manner. That is, the front wheel holder 20 is an instrument that holds the front wheel Fw of the motorcycle Mb in a state where the self-standing stand is raised and supports it so as not to fall down, and is appropriately selected from various commercially available ones. Use it.
Therefore, the motorcycle Mb mounted on the carriage frame 10 can maintain a self-supporting state by the front wheel holder 20.

The seat fixture 30 is an instrument that fixes the seat portion S of the motorcycle to the carriage frame 10. That is, the seat fixture 30 is an auxiliary device that is mounted on the carriage frame 10 and used to more reliably fix the motorcycle Mb that is in a self-supporting state by the front wheel holder 20.
The seat fixture 30 includes a tying tool 31 and a locking ring 15 that functions as a tying tool fixture.

The tying tool 31 is, for example, a belt-like member having locking portions 32 at both ends, and in particular, it is desirable to use a wide belt whose length can be easily adjusted. For example, a hook or the like may be used as the locking portion 32 in this case.
The locking ring 15 is a member that is provided on the main member 10 a of the cart frame 10 described above and engages and fixes the locking portion 32 of the tying tool 31. A plurality (5 in the illustrated configuration example) of the locking rings 15 are arranged in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the main member 10a. For example, a rod is formed in a semicircular shape and both ends are fixed by welding or the like. Is preferred. In addition, the installation position of the locking ring 15 is not limited to the upper surface of the main member 10a, and may be, for example, a side surface of the main member 10a or another member constituting the carriage frame 10.

Further, it is desirable that the above-described locking ring 15 is disposed at positions on the left and right sides of the seat portion S and positions near the motorcycle Mb mounted at a predetermined position of the carriage frame 10. That is, since the locking ring 15 is a member that functions as a lashing tool fixing tool of the seat fixing tool 30, the locking part 15 of the tying tool 31 that is hung around the seat portion S can be easily and reliably engaged. It is necessary to be provided at a position where the motorcycle Mb can be easily and reliably fixed by the tying tool 31.
By installing such a locking ring 15, the bogie frame 10 of the present embodiment is provided with two or more lashing fixture fixtures provided with a substantially semicircular locking opening on at least one of the left and right sides. It will be.

The motorcycle stand 1 configured as described above is mounted with the motorcycle Mb at the mounting position and moved to the storage position of the mechanical parking lot P on the vehicle pallet Cp according to the procedure described below. Thus, the motorcycle Mb can be parked by being stored in the mechanical parking lot P.
In FIG. 2, two motorcycle stands 1 </ b> A and 1 </ b> B are arranged in parallel on the vehicle pallet Cp, and each moves independently between the mounting position and the storage position along the guide rail R in the front-rear direction. It is possible. In the illustrated example, one motorcycle stand 1A is in the retracted position moved forward, and the other motorcycle stand 1B is in the mounted position moved backward, but in the following description, a clear distinction is unnecessary. In this case, the motorcycle stand 1 is simply used. In addition, the code | symbol 40 in a figure is the storage / exit stand-by position mentioned later.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the motorcycle stand 1A in the retracted position is in a predetermined position on the vehicle pallet Cp with the motorcycle Mb mounted or empty, and is moved forward and backward by a lock mechanism (not shown). It is securely fixed so that it does not move. This storage position is set so as not to interfere with the structure of the mechanical parking lot P, the drive mechanism, and the like when the motorcycle stand 1A and the mounted motorcycle Mb move in the mechanical parking lot P.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the motorcycle stand 1 </ b> B in the mounting position is in a predetermined position where the lock mechanism or the like is released and the rear is pulled out from the storage position. This mounting position is at a position where most of the motorcycle stand 1B is off the vehicle pallet Cp. In other words, the motorcycle stand 1B in the mounting position is in a standby state outside the movable region where most of the rear end side except a part near the front end portion continuously circulates the vehicle pallet Cp of the mechanical parking lot P. At position 40. This entry / exit standby position 40 is a space used for entry / exit of an automobile or a motorcycle Mb entering / exiting the mechanical parking lot P. Accordingly, a turntable or the like for changing direction may be installed at the loading / unloading standby position 40 as necessary.
The motorcycle Mb shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 shows a state before the fixation with the lashing tool 31 or after the lashing tool 31 is removed, and the front wheel Fw is attached to the wheel holder 20. Retained and independent.

Now, when the motorcycle Mb is parked in the mechanical parking lot P, the vehicle pallet Cp having a space in the motorcycle stand 1 is moved to the lowest loading / unloading position by continuous circulation. At this time, the motorcycle Mb to be parked stands by in a space behind the loading / unloading standby position 40 from which the motorcycle stand 1 is pulled out.
Thereafter, the lock mechanism of the empty motorcycle stand 1 is released and manually pulled out from the storage position to the mounting position. At this time, it is desirable to include a stopper that restricts the movement of the motorcycle stand 1 when it reaches the predetermined mounting position, and a lock mechanism that holds the motorcycle stand 1 at the predetermined mounting position.

When the motorcycle stand 1 is pulled out to the predetermined mounting position in this manner, the motorcycle Mb is pulled and placed on the motorcycle stand 1 and moved forward until the front wheel holder 20 holds the front wheel Fw at the predetermined position. As a result, the motorcycle Mb is mounted in a state where it can stand on its own, and thereafter, the motorcycle Mb is further securely fixed using the lashing tool 31.
At this time, the locking portion 32 at one end of the lashing tool 31 is engaged with either the left or right locking ring 15, and further, the lashing tool 31 passes through the upper surface of the seat portion S and moves to the opposite side. Hang around. Thereafter, the locking part 32 on the other end side of the tying tool 31 is engaged with the locking ring 15 on either the left or right side and fixed. And the seat part S of the motorcycle Mb is finally firmly fixed to the motorcycle stand 1 by adjusting the length of the tying tool 31 and tightening it so as not to loosen.

In the case of fixing by performing such lashing with the lashing tool 31, since a plurality of locking rings 15 are provided, an optimum one is appropriately selected from a plurality of locations according to the shape and size of the motorcycle Mb. Therefore, it can be selected and used, and therefore, the fixing device 31 can be securely fixed. That is, according to the shape and size of the motorcycle Mb, not only is the tying tool 31 hung and fixed so as to be substantially orthogonal to the motorcycle Mb, but also, for example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to hang the binding tool 31 obliquely and fix it.
Further, as in the first modification shown in FIG. 9, by using two or more tying tools 31, for example, it is possible to perform fixing such as crossing diagonal crosses. In this way, the fixing of the motorcycle Mb becomes more reliable and strong.

After the fixation by the lashing tool 31 is thus completed, the lock mechanism or the like at the mounting position is released, and the motorcycle stand 1 on which the motorcycle Mb is mounted is manually pushed forward to retract the storage position on the vehicle pallet Cp. To move. At this time, in addition to the holding of the front wheel Fw by the front wheel holder 20, the securing means 31 is also securely fixed, so that the motorcycle Fw does not fall down due to vibration or the like during movement.
The motorcycle stand 1 moved to a predetermined storage position and stored is locked to prevent movement in the front-rear direction at the storage position. Thereafter, the vehicle pallet Cp is continuously circulated as necessary and stored in the mechanical parking lot P for parking. Even during such continuous circulation, in addition to the front wheel Fw being held by the front wheel holder 20, the securing means 31 is also securely fixed, so that the motorcycle Fw may fall down due to vibration during movement or the like. There is no.
FIG. 5 shows a state in which two motorcycles Mb are mounted on the motorcycle stand 1 and stored in the vehicle pallet Cp, but the illustration of fixing by the seat fixture 30 is omitted.

By the way, in embodiment mentioned above, although the locking ring 15 which functions as a securing tool fixture is provided in multiple numbers continuously in the front-back direction on the upper surface of the main member 10a, for example like the 2nd modification shown in FIG. In addition, it may be additionally provided at a position near the front wheel Fw. In this case, the additional locking ring 15 enables the installation of a dust-proof cover 50 that covers substantially the entire motorcycle Mb in addition to the fixing by the tying tool 31 described above. That is, the planar dustproof cover 50 having a plurality of locking portions 32 on both the left and right sides is supported by the engagement of the locking portions 32 and the locking ring 15 at a plurality of locations in the front-rear direction of the motorcycle. Installation that reliably maintains the expanded state becomes possible.
The installation of such a dustproof cover 50 can prevent direct attachment to the motorcycle Mb even when lubricating oil or the like falls from a movable part of a mechanical parking lot P such as an endless chain.

In the above-described embodiment, the locking ring 15 provided with a substantially semicircular locking opening is used as the securing tool fixture. However, for example, a locking opening such as a semi-ellipse or a substantially triangular shape may be used. The locking opening having such a shape can be kept in a stable fixed state because the locking portion 32 is less likely to be displaced as compared with a rectangular opening having a linear portion, for example.
Further, the locking ring 15 of the securing tool fixture according to the above-described embodiment is formed by forming a bar in a semicircular shape and fixing both ends by welding or the like. The plate material in which the locking opening is formed may be fixedly installed by welding or the like.
Moreover, although the locking ring 15 of the securing tool fixture in the above-described embodiment is arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction with respect to the upper surface of the main member 10a, it is shifted in the width direction (lateral direction) of the motorcycle Mb. May be included.

Thus, according to the motorcycle stand 1 of this embodiment and the mechanical parking lot P provided with the motorcycle stand 1 described above, various motorcycles Mb are placed on the vehicle pallet Cp of the mechanical parking lot P. When parking the motorcycle, the locking ring 15 at the optimum position is selected from a plurality of positions according to the shape and size of the motorcycle Mb, and the seat portion S of the motorcycle Mb is securely fixed. Can do. For this reason, even in a situation where the vehicle pallet Cp is moved to the parking position, the motorcycle Mb can be parked in a state of being securely fixed so as not to fall down.
In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, For example, it can change suitably in the range which does not deviate from the summary, such as not being limited to a vertical circulation type mechanical parking lot.
