  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 6, the electromagnetic locking device 22 includes a bottom plate 32 having a rectangular shape that is long to the left and right at the lower end, and is provided at the center above the bottom plate 32. The box-shaped angle 41 is fixed in a substantially downward U-shape. Then, L-shaped side plates 33 are erected on the bottom plates 32 on both sides of the angle 41 so as to form a pair of left and right. The distance between the pair of side plates 33 in the left-right direction is larger than the width of the wheel 2 of the bicycle 1, and a locking space 31 into which the wheel 2 of the bicycle 1 enters is formed here. In addition, the left-right direction here is the left-right direction shown in FIG.3 and FIG.6. Each of the pair of left and right side plates 33 is provided with a gate wing 34 in a vertical orientation so as to be freely rotatable. The pair of gate wings 34 are provided with projecting pieces 35 opposite to each other, and a lower portion. The spring mounting portion 36 and the pushing operation portion 37 are provided so as to face each other. The gate wing 34 is attached to the side plate 33 such that the gate wing 34 is sandwiched between the side plate 33 and the sub plate 39. In addition, a coil spring 38 is incorporated between the opposing spring mounting portions 36 of the pair of gate wings 34, and by the coil spring 38, the pair of gate wings 34 opens (expands) an upper protruding piece 35. Energized.

The micro switch 51 has a switch lever 52, and the tongue piece 46 of the leaf spring 45 hits the switch lever 52. It is detected that the wheel 2 has entered the locking space 31. Further, an electromagnetic solenoid 53 is attached to the other side of the pair of side plates 33, and a lock cam 55 that can be rotated by a movable iron core 54 of the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is provided. When the tongue piece 46 of the spring 45 is detected, the electromagnetic solenoid 53 is actuated, the movable iron core 54 is projected to rotate the lock cam 55, and the insertion piece 56 of the lock cam 55 is inserted into the insertion hole 44 and the angle 41 provided in the slider 43. The slider 43 is fixed by a lock cam 55 by being inserted into the provided insertion hole 42. As a result, the locking of the wheel 2 by the gate wing 34 protruding into the locking space 31 is locked. Since the lock cam 55 has the weight portion 57, when the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 53 stops and the protrusion of the movable iron core 54 is retracted, the lock cam 55 is caused by its own weight by the weight portion 57 of the lock cam 55. Returning to the original position, the insertion piece 56 of the lock cam 55 is disengaged from the insertion hole 44 of the slider 43 and the insertion hole 42 of the angle 41. Thereby, the lock | rock of the latching of the wheel 2 by the gate wing 34 is cancelled | released.

  In the electromagnetic locking device 22, when the lock of the locking of the wheel 2 by the gate wing 34 is released, the locking of the locking of the wheel 2 and the release thereof are controlled by a bicycle parking controller (not shown). The lock of the wheel 2 by the gate wing 34 can be unlocked by performing a release operation with the bicycle parking controller. For example, by paying an amount according to the usage time of the bicycle parking lot, There is a method of releasing the lock of 2 or using a bicycle parking card or the like and releasing the lock of the wheel 2 by this bicycle parking card or the like.

  In addition, in the micro switch 51 and the electromagnetic solenoid 53 that are detection means, the micro switch 51 and the electromagnetic solenoid 53 are separately attached so as to be opposed to each other in the middle of the upper and lower sides of the pair of side plates 33. The micro switch 51 and the electromagnetic solenoid 53 can be secured at a certain height from the bottom plate 32. Specifically, the certain height is a height of 50 mm or more. In this way, by attaching a micro switch 51 and an electromagnetic solenoid 53 housed inside an outer case 61, which will be described later, to a position 50 mm or more higher than the bottom plate 32 that is the lower end, when the bicycle parking machine is installed outdoors, Even if the rotary machine is exposed to rain water or the like and rain water or the like enters the inside, the micro switch 51 or the electromagnetic solenoid 53 accommodated therein is not submerged, so that an electrical failure such as an insulation failure is prevented.

  Then, a hollow outer case 61 that houses the side plate 33, the gate wing 34, the micro switch 51, the electromagnetic solenoid 53, and the like and covers them is attached to the top of the bottom plate 32. As shown in FIG. 7, the outer case 61 is composed of a central block portion 62 at the center of the left and right sides and a pair of left and right tower portions 63 that rises upward on the left and right sides of the outer case 61.
