Description

  The present invention relates to a transport device for a two-wheeled vehicle, and a bicycle parking facility that includes the two-wheeled vehicle and can accommodate a large number of two-wheeled vehicles in an upright state.

  Bicycles, motorbikes, motorcycles, scooters, etc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as “two-wheeled vehicles”) are used as transportation means from home to bus stops and railway stations. It is necessary to park the motorcycle in the accompanying bicycle parking lot. Bicycle parking users tend to park two-wheeled vehicles near the entrance of a bicycle parking lot in order to quickly change to a bus or railway. Therefore, conventionally, there has been a mechanical bicycle parking facility that is designed to improve convenience for users by automating and removing motorcycles from and to a bicycle parking lot, and to save space by accommodating a large number of motorcycles in a standing state. It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Specifically, the bicycle parking facility described in Patent Document 1 includes a storage having storage shelves for parking a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles on both sides of a central passage, and a transport device for conveying the two-wheeled vehicles. The transport device can slide along a linear guide groove provided on the base while holding the self-propelled traveling body, a base that is pivotably mounted on the traveling body, and a rear wheel of the motorcycle. A clamping mechanism.

  When the two-wheeled vehicle is parked in the bicycle parking facility, the transport device moves the central passage to a position corresponding to a predetermined bicycle parking stand of the storage shelf with the traveling body in a state where the rear wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle is clamped by the clamp mechanism. When the transport device arrives at a position corresponding to the bicycle parking platform, the motorcycle is slid along the guide groove toward the bicycle parking platform while holding the rear wheel of the motorcycle with the clamp mechanism, and the motorcycle is placed on the bicycle parking platform. Park your bicycle.

  However, the clamp mechanism of the transfer device in the conventional bicycle parking facility has a short slide distance in the length direction of the base of the transfer device. Therefore, the stroke length for sending the motorcycle toward the bicycle parking platform is not sufficient, and there is a possibility that the motorcycle cannot be properly parked on the bicycle parking platform. This problem can also be solved by sufficiently increasing the length of the base and the guide groove of the transfer device, but in that case, the width of the central passage increases as the length of the base increases. As a result, the size of the bicycle parking facility will increase, or the number of motorcycles that can be parked in the bicycle parking facility will decrease. Especially in urban areas, the installation space for bicycle parking facilities is limited, so space saving of bicycle parking facilities is an urgent issue.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a transport device for a motorcycle that can secure a sufficient stroke length while saving space, and a bicycle parking facility including the same.

  A transport device for a motorcycle according to the present invention includes a traveling body capable of traveling on a transportation path, a slider movable in a substantially horizontal direction between one end side and the other end side of the traveling body, one end side of the slider, and the like. And a chuck that holds the two-wheeled vehicle and holds it in an upright state, and when the slider moves to one end side of the traveling body, one end of the slider is one end of the traveling body. Protrude outwards.

  In the transport device for a motorcycle according to the present invention, the slider is movable in a substantially horizontal direction between one end side and the other end side of the traveling body, and the chuck is substantially horizontal between the one end side and the other end side of the slider. When the slider moves to one end side of the traveling body, one end of the slider projects outward from one end of the traveling body. Therefore, when the chuck moves to one end side of the slider in a state where one end of the slider protrudes outside the one end of the traveling body, the chuck also protrudes outside the one end of the traveling body. Therefore, the chuck can obtain a stroke length larger than the length of the traveling body. As a result, in the transport device for a motorcycle according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a stroke length sufficient to send the motorcycle toward the parking stand without unnecessarily increasing the length of the traveling body and the slider. Become. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a transport device for a motorcycle that can secure a sufficient stroke length while saving space.

You may further provide the 2nd drive means. In this case, the chuck is moved only by moving the slider with the first driving means, so that it is not necessary to prepare a separate driving source for the chuck. As a result, in the transport device for a motorcycle according to the present invention, the chuck can be moved with a large stroke length despite the simple configuration with a small number of parts.

  The first drive means spans the drive motor, the first sprocket driven by the drive motor, the second sprocket spaced apart from the first sprocket, and the first and second sprockets. And a first rotating chain engaged with the slider.

  The second driving means includes third and fourth sprockets spaced apart from each other, a second circulation chain that spans the third and fourth sprockets and engages with the chuck, And a follower that moves in a substantially horizontal direction together with the second loop chain, and a movement of the follower in a substantially horizontal direction while the slider moves from the other end side to the one end side of the traveling body. You may have a stopper which restricts. While the slider moves from the other end side to the one end side of the traveling body, if the stopper restricts the movement of the driven body in the substantially horizontal direction, the slider further moves to the one end side of the traveling body, so that the driven body stops. Receive reaction force from. Since the driven body is provided in the second rotating chain, when the driven body receives a reaction force from the stopper, the driven body pushes the second rotating chain along the substantially horizontal direction. As a result, the second orbiting chain spanned between the third and fourth sprockets rotates, and the chuck engaged with the second orbiting chain moves to one end side of the slider. As a result, it is possible to realize a two-wheeled vehicle conveyance device that can move the chuck with a large stroke length despite the simple configuration with a small number of parts.

  A bicycle parking facility according to the present invention includes the above-described two-wheeled vehicle conveyance device, a conveyance passage through which the two-wheeled vehicle conveyance device travels, and a bicycle parking platform capable of parking the two-wheeled vehicle conveyed by the two-wheeled vehicle conveyance device in an upright state. Prepare.

  Since the bicycle parking facility according to the present invention includes the above-described transport device for a motorcycle, it is sufficient to send the motorcycle toward the bicycle parking platform without unnecessarily increasing the length of the traveling body and the slider. The stroke length can be obtained. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a bicycle parking facility capable of ensuring a sufficient stroke length while saving space.

  The transport device for a motorcycle further includes a lifting / lowering unit that moves the lifting / lowering member so that the lifting / lowering member can be moved up and down between the raised position and the lowered position, and is engaged with the lifting member when the lifting member is lowered to the lowered position. The engaging part which performs may be provided in the position corresponding to a bicycle parking stand. If it does in this way, since a raising / lowering member and an engaging part will engage in the descending position of an raising / lowering member, the movement of the conveying apparatus for two-wheeled vehicles in a conveyance path is restrict | limited. Therefore, the two-wheeled vehicle can be stably delivered when the two-wheeled vehicle is delivered between the two-wheeled vehicle transport device and the bicycle parking platform.

  The conveyance path is provided with an identification medium in which position information indicating the position of the bicycle parking platform is recorded at a position corresponding to the bicycle parking platform, and the two-wheeled vehicle conveyance device reads the position information from the identification medium. The bicycle parking facility further includes storage means for storing destination information indicating the position information of the bicycle parking base that is a destination to which the two-wheeled vehicle transport device is headed, and the two-wheeled vehicle transport device reads the travel path while traveling. When the position information read by the means is input from the reading means, it may further comprise a control means for determining whether or not to stop the two-wheeled vehicle transport device by comparing the position information and the destination information. If it does in this way, the conveyance device for two-wheeled vehicles can be surely and automatically positioned with respect to a desired bicycle parking stand.

  The straight rail L3 and the straight rail L4 are spaced apart at a predetermined interval and extend in the same direction. The straight rails L3 and L4 are orthogonal to the straight rails L1 and L2. By these linear rails L3 and L4, the bicycle transport device 500 can be guided in the extending direction of the linear rails L3 and L4. At the intersection 310a, when one extending direction of the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails L3 and L4 coincides with the extending direction of the transport passages 100 and 300a, the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails The other extending direction of L3 and L4 coincides with the extending direction of the conveyance path 300b.

  The magnetic medium 440a is disposed on the surface of the disc 410 and between the straight rail 420a and the through hole 410a. The magnetic medium 440b is disposed on the surface of the disk 410 and between the straight rail 420b and the through hole 410a. The magnetic medium 440c is disposed on the surface of the disc 410 and between the straight rail 420c and the through hole 410a. The magnetic medium 440d is disposed on the surface of the linear disk 410 and between the linear rail 420d and the through hole 410a. The magnetic media 440a to 440d store intersection information indicating position information of the turntable 400a, and the intersection information is read by a transfer device controller 520 of the bicycle transfer device 500 described later.

[3] Configuration of Crossing Section With reference to FIG. 3, the configuration of the crossing section 310a will be described. At the central portion of the intersecting portion 310a, an engaging portion 320 having a quadrangular prism shape projects from the floor of the building 2 so as to extend along the vertical direction. The upper end of the protrusion 320 is chamfered so that it can be easily inserted into the insertion hole 518g formed in the rotating member 518f of the bicycle transport device 500 described later. As shown in FIG. 2, in the state where the turntable 400a is arranged at the intersection 310a, the upper end of the engaging part 320 protrudes from the through hole 410a of the turntable 400a.

  Returning to FIG. 3, around the engaging portion 320, four rollers 330 are provided on the floor of the building 2 via holding members. The distance between these rollers 330 and the engaging portion 320 is set to be slightly larger than the radius of the through hole 410a when viewed from above. Around the roller 330, eight rollers 340 are provided on the floor of the building 2 via holding members. The distance between these rollers 340 and the engaging portion 320 is set to be slightly smaller than the radius of the disc 410 when viewed from above. The heights of the upper ends of the rollers 330 and 340 are substantially the same. Therefore, the turntable 400a is supported by the rollers 330 and 340.

  The rotation axes of the rollers 330 and 340 are substantially orthogonal to the vertical direction and intersect the engaging portion 320 when viewed from above. Therefore, the rotation direction of the rollers 330 and 340 is substantially the same as the tangential direction of a circle drawn around the engaging portion 320 when viewed from above. Therefore, the turntable 400a can rotate about the vertical axis coaxially with the engaging portion 320 while sliding on the rollers 330 and 340.

[4] Configuration of Bicycle Transfer Device The configuration of the bicycle transfer device 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. The bicycle transport device 500 includes a cart 510, a lower slide mechanism 530, an upper slide mechanism 550, a chuck 570, and a transport device controller 520 provided inside the cart 510.

The axle 513 is connected to a drive motor 516 via a gear box 515. The drive motor 516 is driven based on the signal output from the transport device controller 520, and the driving force of the drive motor 516 is transmitted to the axle 513 via the gear box 515, whereby the pair of wheels 511 rotate. Therefore, the wheel 511 functions as a drive wheel.

  The pair of wheels 512 are connected to each other via an axle 514 that extends along the short direction (the width direction of the cart 510) while penetrating the side surfaces of the opposing cart 510, and can rotate with respect to the cart 510. .

It is operated so as to be able to move up and down between the lowered positions close to the vicinity. When the rotating member 518f is lowered to the lowered position while the bicycle transport device 500 is stopped so that the rotating member 518f is positioned above the engaging portions 301 and 320, the engaging portions 301 and 320 are inserted into the insertion holes 518g. The rotating member 518f and the engaging portions 301 and 320 are engaged with each other. On the other hand, since the lower end of the rotating member 518f is positioned higher than the upper ends of the engaging portions 301 and 320 when the rotating member 518f is raised, the engagement between the rotating member 518f and the engaging portions 301 and 320 is released. .

In addition, the transport device control unit 520 controls the operation of the lifting device by transmitting a signal to the lifting device connected to the rotating member 518f.

  The transport device control unit 520 reads position information from the magnetic media 302 and 440a to 440d, stores the position information, and transmits the position information to the parking facility control unit 3. The transport device control unit 520 travels or stops the bicycle transport device 500 based on the travel signal or the stop signal received from the bicycle parking facility control unit 3.

It is provided on the top. Therefore, the guide part 532 exhibits a U-shape when viewed from the first direction. The distance between the pair of guide rails 532a is set to be slightly larger than the width of the wheel of the bicycle B, and the front and rear wheels of the bicycle B can travel between the pair of guide rails 532a. Accordingly, the bicycle B can be taken in and out of the guide portion 532 along the extending direction (first direction).

  The auxiliary rail 533 extends along the extending direction (first direction) of the guide portion 532 and is positioned on the side of the guide portion 532.

The drive motor 539a is driven based on the signal output from the transport device controller 520, whereby the drive force of the drive motor 539a is transmitted to the sprocket 534c via the gear box 534b.

  The sprocket 534d is fixed to one end of a shaft 534i that is rotatably held between the guide portion 532 and the auxiliary rail 533, and rotates integrally with the shaft 534i. The circling chain 534g is bridged between the sprocket 534c and the sprocket 534d. Therefore, the rotation of the sprocket 534c is transmitted to the sprocket 534d and the shaft 534i via the circulation chain 534g.

  The sprocket 534e is fixed to the other end side of the shaft 534i and rotates integrally with the shaft 534i. Therefore, when the shaft 534i rotates, the sprocket 534e also rotates integrally with the shaft 534i. Note that the shaft 534i extends along a second direction (a direction in which the guide portion 532 and the auxiliary rail 533 are arranged) orthogonal to both the vertical direction and the first direction.

  The sprocket 534f is spaced apart from the sprocket 534e in the first direction, and is fixed near the center of the shaft 534j that is rotatably supported between one end side of the guide portion 532 and one end side of the auxiliary rail 533. . Therefore, the sprocket 534f rotates integrally with the shaft 534j.

  The circling chain 534h is bridged between the sprocket 534e and the sprocket 534f so that a pair of linear portions are arranged in the vertical direction. The straight portion of the circulation chain 534h extends along the first direction (the extending direction of the guide portion 532 and the auxiliary rail 533). A connecting member 537 is attached to the upper straight portion of the circulation chain 534h. Therefore, when the sprocket 534f rotates, the rotating chain 534h rotates around the sprocket 534e and the sprocket 534f, and accordingly, the connecting member 537 moves along the first direction (extending direction of the linear portion of the rotating chain 534h). Will move.

  Stoppers 538 and 539 project upward from the connection portions 535 and 536, respectively. The stoppers 538 and 539 are in contact with a follower 557 of the upper slide mechanism 550 described later, and restrict the movement of the follower 557 in the direction (first direction) in which the linear portion of the circulation chain 534h extends.

[4.3] Upper Slide Mechanism As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the upper slide mechanism 550 is provided with a flat plate-like bottom plate 551 and a pair that extends on the bottom plate 551 and extends in parallel along the first direction.

The bottom plate 551 is fixed to the distal end portion of the connection member 537 of the lower slide mechanism 530. Therefore, the upper slide mechanism 550 is mounted on the lower slide mechanism 530 and moves integrally with the connection member 537. A long hole (not shown) extending along the extending direction of the straight rails 552a and 552b is formed in the bottom portion 551, and a follower 557 described later can move in the long hole.

  A driven portion 553 is provided between the pair of linear rails 552a and 552b. Specifically, the driven portion 553 includes a pair of sprockets 553a and 553b, a pair of shafts 553c and 553d, and a rotating chain 553e. The sprockets 553a and 553b are disposed between the pair of linear rails 552a and 552b so as to be separated from each other in the first direction (the extending direction of the linear rails 552a and 552b).

  The sprocket 553a extends along the second direction (opposing direction of the straight rails 552a and 552b) and is fixed near the center of the shaft 553c that is rotatably supported between the straight rails 552a and 552b. And rotate together. The sprocket 553b extends along the second direction (opposite direction of the straight rails 552a and 552b) and is fixed near the center of the shaft 553d that is rotatably held between the straight rails 552a and 552b. And rotate together.

  The circling chain 553e is bridged between the sprocket 553a and the sprocket 553b so that a pair of linear portions are arranged in the vertical direction. The straight portion of the circulation chain 553e extends along the extending direction of the straight rails 552a and 552b. A connection member 556 is attached to the upper straight portion of the circulation chain 553e. A follower 557 is attached to the lower straight portion of the circulation chain 553e. Therefore, the circling chain 553e rotates around the sprockets 553a and 553b, and accordingly, the connecting member 556 and the follower 557 are opposite to each other along the first direction (extending direction of the straight rails 552a and 552b). Will move.

  The roller member 554 is attached to a side portion of the linear rail 552a, and has a roller that can travel on the upper surface of the guide rail 532a of the lower slide mechanism 530. The roller member 555 is attached to a side portion of the linear rail 552b, and has a roller that can travel on the upper surface of the auxiliary rail 533 of the lower slide mechanism 530. Therefore, the upper slide mechanism 550 can move on the upper side of the lower slide mechanism 530 along the first direction.

[4.4] Chuck The chuck 570 includes a U-shaped member 571 and a pair of grip portions 572 provided at the tip of the U-shaped member 571. The U-shaped member 571 is fixed to the distal end portion of the connection member 556 of the upper slide mechanism 550 and moves integrally with the connection member 556. The pair of grip portions 572 are movable so as to approach or separate from each other in the opposite direction, and grip the front wheel of the bicycle B. In this way, the bicycle B is held in an upright state on the upper portion of the guide portion 532 (slide mechanism 550) by the chuck 570 and the guide portion 532 of the lower slide mechanism 530.

[5] Description of Direction Changing Operation of Bicycle Conveying Device on Turntable Next, a direction changing operation of the bicycle conveying device 500 on the turntable 410 will be described with reference to FIG. When the bicycle transport device 500 travels along the transport paths 100 and 300 and reaches the intersection 310a, the transport device control unit 520 causes the magnetic medium of the disk 410 to change according to the direction in which the bicycle transport device 500 enters the intersection 310a. The position information is read from any one of 440a to 440d, and the position information is transmitted to the parking equipment control unit 3. The parking equipment control unit 3 determines whether or not the position information transmitted from the transfer device control unit 520 matches the intersection information indicating the position information of the intersection where the bicycle transfer device 500 should change direction. If they match, a stop signal is transmitted to the transport device controller 520. When receiving a stop signal from the parking equipment control unit 3, the transport device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 516 to control the drive motor 516, and stops the bicycle transport device 500 on the intersection 310a. .

  When the bicycle transport device 500 stops on the intersection 310a, the transport device controller 520 outputs a signal to the lifting device connected to the rotating member 518f to drive the lifting device 518f until the rotating member 518f reaches the lowered position. Lower. Thereby, the engaging part 320 provided in the crossing part 310a is inserted into the insertion hole 518g, and the rotating member 518f and the engaging part 320 are engaged as shown in FIG.

  The transport device control unit 520 outputs a signal to the drive motor 518a to operate the drive motor 518a in a state where the rotation member 518f and the engagement unit 320 are engaged with each other, via the gear box 518b, the sprocket 518c, and the circulation chain 518e. Thus, the sprocket 518d and the rotating member 518f are rotated around the central axis. Thereby, the rotational force of the rotation member 518f acts on the engaging portion 320.

  Since the engaging part 320 is fixed to the floor of the building 2 and is a part of the crossing part 310a, when the rotational force of the rotating member 518f acts on the engaging part 320, the reaction force from the engaging part 320 rotates. The bicycle transport device 500 tries to rotate by acting on the cart 510 via the mechanism 518 (the rotating member 518f and the drive motor 518a). Further, since the flange portions 511a and 512a of the wheels 511 and 512 are engaged with the rails of the turntable 400a, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 is such that the wheels 511 and 512, the flange portions 511a and 512a, and the turntable 400a. Is transmitted to the turntable 400a via the rail. Since the turntable 400a is supported by the rollers 330 and 340 so as to be coaxial with the engaging portion 320 and rotatable about the vertical axis, the bicycle transport device 500 rotates with the turntable 400a and changes its orientation. Will be.

[6] Explanation of the turning operation of the lower slide mechanism 530 Next, the bicycle transport device 500 on which the bicycle B is placed travels along the transport path 100, 300 to the target bicycle parking platform 210, and the bicycle parking platform 210 A series of operations until the lower slide mechanism 530 turns at the corresponding position will be described. Here, when the bicycle transport apparatus 500 travels along the transport paths 100 and 300, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8A, the upper slide mechanism 550 is connected to the other end side of the guide portion 532 (FIG. 8). The chuck 570 is positioned on the other end side (the right side in FIG. 8A) of the upper slide mechanism 550 (this state is referred to as “first state”). ing. When the bicycle transport device 500 travels along the transport passages 100 and 300, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 7, and 8A, the extending direction of the guide portion 532 (the first direction) Is in a state that coincides with the longitudinal direction of the cart 510 in which the wheels 511 and 512 are aligned, that is, the extending direction of the transport passages 100 and 300.

  When the transport device control unit 520 reads the position information from one of the sleeper magnetic media 301 while the bicycle transport device 500 is running, the transport device control unit 520 reads the position information every time the bicycle transport device control unit 520 reads the position information. 3 to send. The bicycle parking equipment control unit 3 determines whether or not the position information transmitted from the transfer device control unit 520 matches the destination information indicating the position information of the bicycle parking base 210 at the destination. If it does, a stop signal is transmitted to the transfer device control unit 520. When receiving a stop signal from the parking equipment control unit 3, the transport device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 516 to control the drive motor 516, and stops the bicycle transport device 500 on the sleeper. Thereby, the bicycle transport apparatus 500 stops at the position of the sleepers corresponding to the bicycle parking platform 210 as the destination. In order to stop the bicycle transport apparatus 500, for example, the transport apparatus control unit 520 counts the number of rotations and the operation time of the wheels 511 and 512 to calculate the travel distance of the bicycle transport apparatus 500, which is the destination. By determining the remaining moving distance to the parking lot 210 by the transport device control unit 520, the transport device 500 for the bicycle may be decelerated as the transport device 500 for the bicycle approaches.

  When the bicycle transport device 500 arrives at the position of the sleeper corresponding to the destination bicycle parking lot 210 and stops, the transport device control unit 520 outputs a signal to the lifting device connected to the rotation mechanism 518 and By driving the lifting device, the rotating member 518f is lowered to the lowered position. Thereby, the engaging part 301 provided in the sleeper is inserted into the insertion hole 518g, and the rotating member 518f and the engaging part 301 are engaged.

  Subsequently, the transport device control unit 520 operates the drive motor 519a in this state, thereby rotating the sprocket 519d and the rotation member 519f around the central axis via the gear box 519b, the sprocket 519c, and the rotating chain 519e. Since the bottom plate 531 is fixed to the rotating member 519f, the guide member 532 (lower slide mechanism 530) rotates together with the upper slide mechanism 550 and the chuck 570 by rotating the rotating member 519f. As described above, when the guide portion 532 rotates, the rotation member 518f and the engaging portion 301 are engaged with each other, so that the movement of the bicycle transport device 500 in the transport path 300 is restricted. The bicycle B can be stably transferred between the transport device 500 and the bicycle parking platform 210.

  The conveyance device control unit 520 outputs a signal to the drive motor 519a after rotating the rotation member 519f by 90 ° around the axis, and stops the operation of the drive motor 519a. As a result, the guide portion 532 is orthogonal to the conveyance path 300 when viewed from above, and the guide portion 532 and the pair of linear rails 210a of the bicycle parking platform 210 extend on the same straight line. The bicycle B can be transferred to and from the wheel base 210.

[7] Description of Bicycle Delivery Operation Between Bicycle Conveying Device and Bicycle Parking Stand Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10, between the bicycle conveying device 500 and the bicycle parking platform 210, The delivery operation of the bicycle B will be described. 8 and 10, the bicycle B is omitted.

  First, an operation in which the bicycle transport device 500 parks the bicycle B on the bicycle parking platform 210 will be described. When the bicycle B can be delivered between the bicycle transport device 500 and the bicycle parking platform 210 by the turning of the guide portion 532 and the bicycle transport device 500 is in the first state (FIG. 8A). )), The conveying device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 534a to drive the drive motor 534a, so that the gear box 534b, the sprocket 534c, the rotating chain 534g, the sprocket 534d, the shaft 534i, and the sprocket 534e are transmitted. The rotating chain 534h is rotated (see FIG. 8B). Along with the rotation of the circular chain 534h, the connecting member 537 extends from the other end side of the guide portion 532 toward the one end side (left side in FIG. 8B), and the extending direction of the circular chain 534h (first direction). It will move along.

  Since the tip of the connection member 537 is fixed to the bottom plate 551, the upper slide mechanism 550 also moves in the first direction at the same time as the connection member 537 moves in the first direction. At this time, the driven body 557 remains positioned on one end side (the left side in FIG. 8B) of the upper slide mechanism 550, and the chuck 570 is located on the other end side (the right side in FIG. 8B). Is still in position.

  While the connecting member 537 moves from the other end side of the guide portion 532 to the one end side along the first direction, the driven body 557 comes into contact with the stopper 538, and the stopper 538 moves the guide portion 532 toward the one end side. Movement is limited (see FIG. 8C). On the other hand, the upper slide mechanism 550 continues to move further to the one end side of the guide portion 532, so that the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 538. Since the driven body 557 is provided on the rotating chain 553e, when the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 538, the driven body 557 pushes the rotating chain 553e along the substantially horizontal direction.

  Thereby, the circulating chain 553e spanned around the sprockets 553a and 553b rotates around the sprockets 553a and 553b, and the chuck 570 attached to the circulating chain 553e via the connecting member 556 extends in the extending direction of the circulating chain 553e. Move along (first direction). Thereafter, when the connection member 537 moves until it abuts against the stopper 538, the connection member 537 is restricted from further movement toward the one end side of the guide portion 532 by the stopper 538.

  When the connection member 537 comes into contact with the stopper 538, the transport device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 534a to stop the drive motor 534a. Thereby, one end of the upper slide mechanism 550 and the chuck 570 are in a state of protruding outward from one end of the guide portion 532 (this state is referred to as a “second state”) (see FIG. 8D). Thereafter, the gripping part 572 releases the grip of the front wheel of the bicycle B, so that the bicycle B is parked on the parking platform 210. Thus, since the chuck 570 moves with a stroke length larger than the length of the guide portion 532, the bicycle B can be appropriately parked on the parking platform 210 as shown in FIG.

  Next, an operation in which the bicycle transport device 500 receives the bicycle B from the bicycle parking platform 210 will be described. In the second state shown in FIG. 10A, the bicycle transport device 500 grips the front wheel of the bicycle B parked on the parking platform 210 with the grip portion 572 of the chuck 570. In this state, the conveyance device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 534a to drive the drive motor 534a, so that the gear box 534b, the sprocket 534c, the rotating chain 534g, the sprocket 534d, the shaft 534i, and the sprocket 534e are transmitted. The circular chain 534h is rotated (see FIG. 10B). With the rotation of the circular chain 534h, the connecting member 537 extends from the one end side of the guide portion 532 toward the other end side (the right side in FIG. 10B), and the extending direction of the circular chain 534h (first direction). It will move along.

  Since the tip of the connection member 537 is fixed to the bottom plate 551, the upper slide mechanism 550 also moves in the first direction at the same time as the connection member 537 moves in the first direction. At this time, the follower 557 remains positioned on the other end side (the right side in FIG. 10B) of the upper slide mechanism 550, and the chuck 570 is located on one end side (the left side in FIG. 10B) of the upper slide mechanism 550. Is still in position.

  While the connecting member 537 moves from one end side to the other end side of the guide portion 532 along the first direction, the driven body 557 comes into contact with the stopper 539 and is moved toward the other end side of the guide portion 532 by the stopper 539. Further movement is restricted (see FIG. 10C). On the other hand, since the upper slide mechanism 550 continues to move further to the other end side of the guide portion 532, the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 539. Since the driven body 557 is provided on the rotating chain 553e, when the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 539, the driven body 557 pushes the rotating chain 553e along the substantially horizontal direction.

  Thereby, the circulating chain 553e spanned around the sprockets 553a and 553b rotates around the sprockets 553a and 553b, and the chuck 570 attached to the circulating chain 553e via the connecting member 556 extends in the extending direction of the circulating chain 553e. Move along (first direction). Thereafter, the connecting device 537 transmits a signal to the drive motor 534a to stop the drive motor 534a until the other end of the guide portion 532 (see FIG. 10D).

[8] Action and Effect In the present embodiment as described above, the connecting member 537 is movable along the first direction between the one end side and the other end side of the guide portion 532, and the chuck 570 is the upper slide. It can move along the first direction between one end side and the other end side of the mechanism 550, and when the connection member 537 moves to one end side of the guide portion 532, one end of the upper slide mechanism 550 is moved to the guide portion. It projects outward from one end of 532. Therefore, when the chuck 570 moves to one end side of the upper slide mechanism 550 with one end of the upper slide mechanism 550 protruding outward from one end of the guide portion 532, the chuck 570 also moves outward from one end of the guide portion 532. Protruding. Therefore, the chuck 570 can obtain a stroke length larger than the length of the guide portion 532. As a result, the bicycle transport apparatus 500 according to the present embodiment is sufficient to send the bicycle B toward the bicycle parking platform 210 without increasing the lengths of the guide portion 532 and the upper slide mechanism 550 more than necessary. The stroke length can be obtained. As a result, it is possible to provide the bicycle transport apparatus 500 and the bicycle parking facility 1 capable of sufficiently securing the stroke length while saving space.

  In the present embodiment, the chuck 570 moves along the first direction in accordance with the movement of the upper slide mechanism 550. Therefore, the chuck 570 is also moved only by moving the upper slide mechanism 550, so that it is not necessary to separately prepare a drive source for the chuck 570. As a result, in the bicycle transport apparatus 500 according to the present embodiment, the chuck can be moved with a large stroke length despite the simple configuration with a small number of parts.

  In the present embodiment, the follower 557 contacts the stopper 538 during the movement of the upper slide mechanism 550 from the other end side of the guide portion 532 to the one end side, and further movement of the guide portion 532 toward the one end side is restricted. Is done. At this time, the upper slide mechanism 550 further moves to one end side of the guide portion 532, so that the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 538. Since the driven body 557 is provided in the rotating chain 553e, when the driven body 557 receives a reaction force from the stopper 538, the driven body 557 pushes the rotating chain 553e along the first direction. Accordingly, the circulating chain 553e spanned between the sprockets 553a and 553b rotates, and the chuck 570 attached to the circulating chain 553e moves to one end side of the upper slide mechanism 550 along the first direction. As a result, the chuck 570 can be moved with a large stroke length despite the simple configuration with a small number of parts.

  In the present embodiment, an engagement portion 301 that is engaged with the rotation member 518f when the rotation member 518f is lowered to the lowered position is provided on the sleepers of the transport passage 300. Therefore, when the rotation member 518f and the engaging portion 301 are engaged, the movement of the bicycle transport device 500 is limited. Therefore, when the bicycle B is delivered between the bicycle transport device 500 and the bicycle parking platform 210, the bicycle B can be delivered stably.

  In the present embodiment, when the position information of the sleepers read from the magnetic medium 301 by the transport device control unit 520 during the traveling of the bicycle transport device 500 is transmitted from the transport device control unit 520 to the parking facility control unit 3, The bicycle parking equipment control unit 3 determines whether or not the position information and the destination information indicating the position information of the bicycle parking base 210 at the destination match. A stop signal is transmitted to unit 520. Therefore, the bicycle transport apparatus 500 can be reliably and automatically positioned with respect to the desired bicycle parking platform 210.

  In the present embodiment, when the rotating member 518f is engaged with the engaging portion 320, the rotating member 518f is rotated by the drive motor 518a, so that the rotational force of the rotating member 518f acts on the engaging portion 320. Since the engaging part 320 is fixed to the floor of the building 2 and is a part of the crossing part 310a, when the rotational force of the rotating member 518f acts on the engaging part 320, the reaction force from the engaging part 320 rotates. By acting on the cart 510 via the member 518f, the bicycle transport device 500 tries to rotate. Further, since the flange portions 511a and 512a of the wheels 511 and 512 are engaged with the rails of the turntable 400a, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 is such that the wheels 511 and 512, the flange portions 511a and 512a, and the turntable 400a. Is transmitted to the turntable 400a via the rail. Since the turntable 400a is supported by the rollers 330 and 340 so as to be coaxial with the engaging portion 320 and rotatable about the vertical axis, the bicycle transport device 500 rotates with the turntable 400a and changes its orientation. Will be. Thus, in this embodiment, in order to change the direction of the bicycle transport apparatus 500 at the intersection 310a, it is only necessary to arrange the turntable 400 at each intersection, and the bicycle transport apparatus 500 has one It is only necessary to control the drive motor 518a. Therefore, there is no need to install a device such as a branching device at each intersection and control each device, so that space saving is not hindered, control is complicated, and the number of parts is not increased. As a result, there is provided a bicycle parking facility 1 that can change the direction of the bicycle transport device 500 at the intersection with a simple configuration while saving space.

  In the present embodiment, the turntable 400 is provided with linear rails L1 and L2 for guiding the cart 510 (the bicycle transport device 500). The cart 510 includes flange portions 511a and 511a that engage with the linear rails L1 and L2. You may have the wheel in which 512a was formed. In this way, the rotational force of the bicycle transport apparatus 500 can be reliably transmitted to the turntable 400 via the wheels 511 and 512 and the linear rails L1 and L2.

  In this embodiment, the conveyance paths 300a and 300c and the conveyance paths 300b and 300d are orthogonal, the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails L3 and L4 are orthogonal, and the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rail When one extending direction of L3 and L4 coincides with the extending direction of the transport passages 100 and 300a, the other extending direction of the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails L3 and L4 is the transport passage 300b. It corresponds to the extending direction. Therefore, even after one bicycle transport apparatus 500 reaches the intersection 310a from the conveyance path 100 and moves to the conveyance path 300b after changing its direction by 90 ° by the turntable 400a at the intersection 310a, One of the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails L3 and L4 communicates with the transport passages 100 and 300a, and the other of the straight rails L1 and L2 and the straight rails L3 and L4 communicates with the transport passage 300b. Accordingly, after one bicycle transport device 500 changes its direction by 90 ° on the turntable 400a and then moves to the transport passage 300b, the other bicycle transport device 500 reaches the intersection 310a from the transport passages 100 and 300a. Even in this case, another bicycle transport device 500 can travel on the turntable 400a without changing the direction of the turntable 400a. As a result, even when a plurality of bicycle transport devices 500 move along the transport paths 100 and 300 of the bicycle parking facility 1, without providing a separate drive source for rotating the turntable 400, It becomes possible to change the direction of each bicycle transport apparatus 500.

  In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 320 that engages with the rotating member 518f when the rotating member 518f is lowered to the lowered position is provided at the intersection. Therefore, the raising / lowering means of the cart 510 can arbitrarily engage the rotating member 518f with the engaging portion 320 and release the engaging between the rotating member 518f and the engaging portion 320. In this embodiment, the rotating member 518f is also used for engaging with the engaging portion 301, and the engaging portions 301 and 320 can be engaged with one rotating member 518f.

  In the present embodiment, when the position information is read from the magnetic media 440 a to 440 d by the transfer device control unit 520, the transfer device control unit 520 transmits the position information to the parking facility control unit 3. The parking equipment control unit 3 determines whether or not the position information transmitted from the transfer device control unit 520 matches the intersection information indicating the position information of the intersection where the bicycle transfer device 500 should change direction. If they match, a stop signal is transmitted to the transport device controller 520. Therefore, when the bicycle transport device 500 reaches the intersection, the bicycle transport device 500 can be reliably and automatically stopped on the turntable 400.

  In the present embodiment, the bicycle transport device 500 can travel along the transport paths 100 and 300 and the turntable 400 and can rotate with the turntable 400, and is supported by the cart 510 and on which the bicycle B is placed. And a lower slide mechanism 530. The bicycle transport apparatus 500 includes a drive motor 519 a that rotates the lower slide mechanism 530. The rotating member 518f and the drive motor 518a are attached to the cart 510. Thus, since the drive motor 519a rotates the lower slide mechanism 530 on which the bicycle B is placed, the bicycle B is directed in an arbitrary direction. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the layout of the bicycle parking platform 210 on which the bicycle B is parked is improved. Therefore, by determining the layout of the bicycle parking platform 210 according to the place where the bicycle parking facility 1 is constructed, a large number of bicycles B can be accommodated while saving the space of the bicycle parking facility 1.

  Since the rotation member 518f and the drive motor 518a are attached to the cart 510, when the drive motor 518a rotates the rotation member 518f when the rotation member 518f is engaged with the engagement portion 320, the engagement portion 320 is engaged. The reaction force from is applied to the cart 510 via the rotating member 518f, and the cart 510 attempts to rotate. Since the cart 510 can rotate together with the turntable 400, when the rotational force of the cart 510 is transmitted to the turntable 400, the turntable 400 rotates coaxially with the rotating member 518f and around the vertical axis. Thereby, the direction of the cart 510 on the turntable 400 is changed. Therefore, the cart 510 can change the direction at the intersection with a simple configuration while saving space.

[Other Embodiments]
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in this embodiment, the building 2 has a plurality of hierarchies, and the bicycle parking facility 1 that can park not only on the first floor but also on two or more floors has been described. However, the building 2 may be one floor. Further, in the present embodiment, the bicycle parking facility 1 having one parking section A in one level has been described. However, in one level, a large number of tracks are arranged vertically and horizontally in a lattice shape and parked in each lattice. Each wheel segment A may be provided. The number of these hierarchies and the number of bicycle parking sections A can be appropriately set according to the place where the bicycle parking facility 1 is to be constructed.

  In this embodiment, the engaging portions 301 and 320 are inserted into the insertion holes 518g of the rotating member 518f to engage and release the rotating member 518f and the engaging portions 301 and 320. If the movement of the conveying device 500 can be restricted, a hole having a polygonal shape is provided in the floor of the intersection, and the rotating member 518f having an outer shape corresponding to the hole is lowered by the lifting device, and the hole and the rotating member 518f are May be engaged.

  In this embodiment, the rotating member 518f is moved up and down to engage and disengage the engaging portions 301 and 320. However, if the movement of the bicycle transport apparatus 500 can be restricted, the rotating member 518f is used. The engagement with the engagement portions 301 and 320 and the release thereof may be performed without raising and lowering the movement. Specifically, a U-shaped member is provided on the bottom surface of the cart 510 so that the open end faces downward, and when the bicycle transport device 500 reaches the engaging portions 301, 320, the engaging portion 301 320, the open end portion of the member may be inserted.

  In the present embodiment, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 is transmitted to the turntable 400 by the engagement between the flange portions 511a and 512a of the wheels 511 and 512 and the rail of the turntable 400. Thus, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 may be transmitted to the turntable 400. For example, even if a rubber tire is used instead of the wheels 511 and 512 having the flange portions 511a and 512a, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 is transmitted to the turntable 400 by the frictional force between the rubber tire and the surface of the turntable 400. Good. Further, for example, by forming a groove slightly wider than the wheel on the floor of the building 2, allowing the wheel to pass through the groove, and engaging the wheel with the side wall surface of the groove, the bicycle transport device 500 is provided. May be transmitted to the turntable 400.

  In this embodiment, the turntable 400a is rotatably supported by the rollers 330 and 340 provided on the floor of the building 2, but a plurality of rollers are provided on the bottom surface of the turntable 400a so that the turntable 400a rotates. It may be.

  In the present embodiment, positioning of the bicycle transport apparatus 500 is performed using the magnetic media 302 and 440a to 440d that store the position information, but various other contact-type or non-contact-type sensors can be used. .

  In the present embodiment, the magnetic media 302, 440a to 440d are provided on the sleepers or the turntable 400. However, if the bicycle transport device 500 can be controlled to stop at a desired position, the floor of the building 2 or the like These may be provided at the location.

  Further, the transfer device control unit 520 may determine whether to stop the bicycle transfer device 500 by comparing the position information of the bicycle transfer device 500 with the intersection information or the destination information. .

  In the present embodiment, the drive motor 519a is operated while the bicycle transport device 500 is stopped, and the lower slide mechanism 530 is rotated by 90 °. On the other hand, when the bicycle transport device 500 has approached the vicinity of the bicycle parking platform 210, which is the destination, the drive motor 519a is operated during the travel of the bicycle transport device 500, and the bicycle transport device 500 is operated. The lower slide mechanism 530 may be rotated by 90 ° while traveling. If it does in this way, time can be shortened in delivering the bicycle B between the bicycle transport apparatus 500 and the bicycle parking platform 210.

  In the present embodiment, the bicycle transport device 500 has two drive motors, a drive motor 518a for rotating the bicycle transport device 500 together with the turntable 400, and a drive motor 519a for rotating the lower slide mechanism 530. Was. However, the rotation of the bicycle transport device 500 together with the turntable 400 and the rotation of the lower slide mechanism 530 can be realized by a single drive motor.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the bicycle transport apparatus 500 includes a single rotating mechanism 521. The rotation mechanism 521 includes a drive motor 521a, a gear box 521b, a sprocket 521c, a sprocket 521d having a larger diameter than the sprocket 521c, a rotating chain 521e, a rotating member 521f, a bearing 521g, and a rotating member 521h. . The drive motor 521a is connected to the gear box 521b. The sprocket 521c is connected to the gear box 521b. The circling chain 521e is bridged between the sprocket 521c and the sprocket 521d.

  The drive motor 521a is driven based on the signal output from the transport device controller 520, and the driving force of the drive motor 521a is transmitted to the sprocket 521d via the gear box 521b, the sprocket 521c, and the rotating chain 521e, so that the sprocket 521d Rotate around its central axis. Note that the central axes of the sprockets 521c and 521d extend along the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 12, a rectangular through hole 521i is formed at the center of the sprocket 521d. On the upper surface (the surface on the lower slide mechanism 530 side) of the sprocket 521d, a cylindrical rotating member 521f that protrudes upward (on the lower slide mechanism 530 side) is provided.

  The rotating member 521f extends along the central axis (vertical direction) of the sprocket 521d. In the rotating member 521f, the outer peripheral surface has a cylindrical surface, and the inner peripheral surface has a quadrangular prism surface. The inner circumferential surface of the rotating member 521f substantially coincides with the through hole 521i formed in the sprocket 521d when viewed from the vertical direction. The inside of the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i of the sprocket 521d communicate with each other.

  The upper end (the end portion on the lower slide mechanism 530 side) of the rotating member 521f is fixed to the bottom plate 531 of the lower slide mechanism 530. Therefore, the guide portion 532 is mounted on the cart 510 and can rotate around the central axis of the rotating member 521f. The inner peripheral portion of the bearing 521g is inserted into the central portion of the rotating member 521f. The outer peripheral portion of the bearing 521g is attached to the cart 510. Therefore, the rotating member 521f is attached to the lower slide mechanism 530 so as to be rotatable relative to the cart 510.

  The rotating member 521h has a quadrangular prism shape, extends along the vertical direction, and is disposed in the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i. The outer shape of the rotating member 521h is set to be slightly smaller than the inner surface of the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i so that the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i can be inserted. The rotating member 521h is engaged with the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i. Therefore, the rotating member 521h can rotate coaxially with the sprocket sprocket 521d when the sprocket 521d rotates. An insertion hole 521j opened downward is formed at the lower end of the rotating member 521h. The insertion hole 521j extends along the central axis of the sprocket 521d (along the vertical direction) and has a rectangular shape when viewed from the central axis direction.

  The rotating member 521h is connected to a lifting device (not shown). By driving the lifting / lowering device based on the signal output from the transport device control unit 520, the rotating member 521h moves to the raised position where the rotating member 521h is placed in the cart 510 (see FIG. 13A) and the rotating member 521h. Is moved up and down between the lower position (see FIG. 13B and FIG. 14) close to the vicinity of the floor of the building 2. When the rotating member 521h is lowered to the lowered position while the bicycle transport device 500 is stopped so that the rotating member 521h is positioned above the engaging portion 320, the engaging portion 320 is inserted into the insertion hole 521j. The rotating member 521h and the engaging portion 320 are engaged (see FIGS. 13B and 14). On the other hand, since the lower end of the rotating member 521h is located above the upper end of the engaging portion 320 at the raised position of the rotating member 521h, the engagement between the rotating member 521h and the engaging portion 320 is released (FIG. 13 ( a)).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the direction changing operation of the bicycle transport device 500 in the turntable 410 will be described. When the bicycle transport device 500 travels along the transport paths 100 and 300 and reaches the intersection 310a, the transport device control unit 520 causes the magnetic medium of the disk 410 to change according to the direction in which the bicycle transport device 500 enters the intersection 310a. The position information is read from any one of 440a to 440d, and the position information is transmitted to the parking equipment control unit 3. The parking equipment control unit 3 determines whether or not the position information transmitted from the transfer device control unit 520 matches the intersection information indicating the position information of the intersection where the bicycle transfer device 500 should change direction. If they match, a stop signal is transmitted to the transport device controller 520. When receiving a stop signal from the parking equipment control unit 3, the transport device control unit 520 transmits a signal to the drive motor 516 to control the drive motor 516, and stops the bicycle transport device 500 on the intersection 310a. (See FIG. 13 (a)).

  When the bicycle transport device 500 stops on the intersection 310a, the transport device control unit 520 outputs a signal to the lifting device connected to the rotating member 521h to drive the lifting device to move the rotating member 521h to the lowered position. Lower. As a result, the engaging portion 320 provided at the intersecting portion 310a is inserted into the insertion hole 521j, and the rotating member 521h and the engaging portion 320 are engaged as shown in FIG. 13B and FIG. To do.

  The transport device control unit 520 outputs a signal to the drive motor 521a to operate the drive motor 521a in a state where the rotation member 521h and the engagement unit 320 are engaged with each other, via the gear box 521b, the sprocket 521c, and the circulation chain 521e. Thus, a rotational force is applied to the sprocket 521d and the rotating member 521f. Since the rotating member 521h is engaged with the rotating member 521f and the through hole 521i, the rotational force applied to the rotating member 521f acts on the engaging portion 320 via the rotating member 521h. Since the engaging part 320 is fixed to the floor of the building 2 and is a part of the crossing part 310a, when a rotational force is applied to the engaging part 320, the reaction force from the engaging part 320 causes the rotation mechanism 521 (rotation). The bicycle transport device 500 tries to rotate by acting on the cart 510 via the members 521h and 521f and the drive motor 521a). Further, since the flange portions 511a and 512a of the wheels 511 and 512 are engaged with the rails of the turntable 400a, the rotational force of the bicycle transport device 500 is such that the wheels 511 and 512, the flange portions 511a and 512a, and the turntable 400a. Is transmitted to the turntable 400a via the rail. Since the turntable 400a is supported by the rollers 330 and 340 so as to be coaxial with the engaging portion 320 and rotatable about the vertical axis, the bicycle transport device 500 rotates with the turntable 400a and changes its orientation. Will be.

  As described above, in other embodiments shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the rotating member 521f is attached to the lower slide mechanism 530 so as to be rotatable relative to the cart 510. If the driving motor 521a rotates the rotating member 521f when the rotating member 521h is not engaged with the engaging portion 320, the lower slide mechanism 530 rotates without rotating the cart 510, and the bicycle B is in an arbitrary direction. Directed to. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the layout of the bicycle parking platform 210 on which the bicycle B is parked is improved. Therefore, by determining the layout of the bicycle parking platform 210 according to the location where the bicycle parking facility 1 is constructed, it is possible to accommodate many bicycles B while saving the space of the bicycle parking facility 1.

  On the other hand, when the driving motor 521a rotates the rotating member 521f when the rotating member 521h is engaged with the engaging portion, the driving motor 521a is attached to the cart 510, so the reaction force from the engaging portion 320 Acts on the cart 510 via the rotation mechanism 521 (the rotation members 521h and 521f and the drive motor 521a), and the cart 510 attempts to rotate. At this time, the rotating member 521f is attached to the lower slide mechanism 530 so that the rotating member 521f can rotate relative to the cart portion 510, and therefore the lower slide mechanism 530 does not rotate. Since the cart 510 can rotate together with the turntable 400, when the rotational force of the cart 510 is transmitted to the turntable 400, the turntable 400 rotates coaxially with the rotating members 521h and 521f and around the vertical axis. Thereby, the direction of the cart 510 on the turntable 400 can be changed without rotating the lower slide mechanism 530. Therefore, the cart 510 can change the direction at the intersection with a simple configuration while saving space. In addition, rotating the cart 510 together with the turntable 400 and rotating the lower slide mechanism 530 can be realized by one drive motor 521a. As a result, the number of parts is reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
