Description

  The present invention is applied to an unmanned bicycle parking lot and the like, and relates to a bicycle parking machine that locks its wheel by placing a motorcycle at a predetermined position and unlocks the wheel by paying a fee or by a predetermined input. It is related with the bicycle parking machine which can do.

  In unmanned bicycle parking lots where motorcycles such as motorcycles and bicycles are parked, bicycles are locked by placing the two-wheeled vehicle at a predetermined position, and unlocking the wheel by predetermined input such as fee payment or PIN Is being used. For example, Patent Document 1 below proposes a bicycle parking machine that can lock a bicycle without increasing its size. Further, in Patent Document 2 below, a pay bicycle that uses the weight of a two-wheeled vehicle mounted on a guide frame, can smoothly hold the wheel with an arm, and can be locked / unlocked with a simple structure based on the operation of a solenoid. Locking devices in the system have been proposed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-334663 Japanese Patent No. 4148924

  Here, the locking / unlocking mechanism of the locking device in the pay parking system proposed in Patent Document 2 and specifically disclosed as the second embodiment is such that one end is pivotally supported to one side by the load of the wheel. When the bicycle wheel is mounted on a guide frame formed to a length that allows the bicycle wheel to be mounted, the movable arm moves from the left and right vertical directions by the downward pressing force of the guide frame caused by the weight of the wheel. The solenoid and the accounting means are simultaneously activated with an ON signal when the sensor switch is parked and locked, and the movable iron core of the solenoid protrudes and the locking claw of the locking piece When the charging means issues an OFF signal by paying a fixed parking fee or entering a PIN, the movable iron core of the solenoid returns to its original position. The locking claw part of the stopper piece rotates backward by its own weight and comes out of the stopper piece to unlock the guide frame, and further, when the wheel load is removed from the guide frame, the guide frame rises and rotates. The movable arm is opened by the spring force of the spring attached to the movable arm, and the wheel is freed to be unlocked.

  Then, in such a locking device, for example, when the wheel rides on the guide frame and is parked, the wheel is locked once the wheel is once placed on the guide frame and the guide frame is rotated and lowered. . In this case, since the wheel load is not applied to the guide frame, when unlocking, the movable iron core of the solenoid returns to its original position, and the locking claw portion of the locking piece rotates backward due to its own weight. The guide frame is lifted and rotated at the same time as the guide frame is released from the latching piece of the guide frame and unlocked, so that the engagement claw portion of the latching piece and the latching piece at the tip of the guide frame are engaged. There is a risk that many failures may occur, such as failure to unlock normally due to maintenance of the joint, or destruction of the locking piece due to collision of the locking piece.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and constructs a mechanism for shifting the timing of unlocking by the solenoid and the timing at which the guide frame on which the wheel is placed turns up. For example, when the wheel rides on the guide frame, Even when locked, the engagement between the locking piece and the tip of the guide frame can be released normally without being maintained, and the locking piece and the like are not destroyed. An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking machine capable of minimizing the occurrence of failure.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bicycle parking machine that locks a wheel by placing a wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle at a predetermined position, and unlocks the wheel by paying a fee or by a predetermined input. A case, a wheel receiving frame housed in the case and having the other end pivotally supported so that one end thereof tilts and falls due to the load when the wheel is placed, and the wheel of the wheel receiving frame The end abuts against the surface opposite to the side on which the wheel is placed and is rotated by the pressing force generated by the tilting drop of one end of the wheel receiving frame to hold the wheel from the left and right. A pair of movable arms that release the wheel and tilt and raise one end portion of the wheel receiving frame at the end by the reverse rotation of the direction, and a latch that locks one end portion of the wheel receiving frame that is tilted and lowered Front part by its own weight A housing that is pivotally supported so that the locking portion rotates in a direction away from one end of the wheel receiving frame, a sensor that senses that the one end of the wheel receiving frame is tilted down, and the housing And a solenoid having a movable iron core that presses the one end of the wheel receiving frame toward the one end of the wheel receiving frame and locks the one end of the wheel receiving frame to the locking portion, and the wheels of the wheel receiving frame are An engagement portion that protrudes toward the bottom surface in the case is provided on the surface opposite to the side on which the load is placed, and when the one end portion of the wheel receiving frame tilts and falls on the bottom surface in the case, the engagement is performed. An engaged body that engages with the engaging portion is provided, and the engaged body urges the wheel receiving frame toward the bottom surface of the case in an engaged state with the engaging portion, and engages with the engaging portion. When the engaged state is released, the engagement portion is pressed, and the wheel receiving frame is moved to the case. It characterized by having a resilient for biasing to the opening.

  In particular, the engaged body includes a first plate-like portion fixed to the bottom surface of the case while being bent and elastic until one plate material faces an acute angle, and an acute angle on the first plate-like portion. A plate spring formed by forming a second plate-like portion opposite to the second plate-like portion, wherein a step portion is provided on the second plate-like portion, and the engaging portion engages with the step portion. To do.

  Further, the case has a gap and is configured to be fixed to a predetermined fixing portion where a stress absorbing member is attached to the gap, and the two-wheeled vehicle wheel is placed with the case tilted. The stress generated by the stress absorbing member is absorbed by the stress absorbing member.

  The bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention is provided with an engaging portion projecting toward the bottom surface in the case on the surface opposite to the side on which the wheels of the wheel receiving frame are placed, and on the bottom surface in the case. When the one end of the frame tilts and descends, an engaged body is provided that engages with the engaging portion. The engaged body has elasticity that urges the wheel receiving frame toward the bottom surface of the case in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion. Therefore, in the present invention, when the protruding movable iron core of the solenoid returns to the original position, and the casing rotates by its own weight and unlocks the wheel receiving frame, the engaged body engages with the engaging portion. In this state, the wheel receiving frame is biased toward the bottom surface of the case, so that the wheel receiving frame is prevented from tilting and rising. Then, the unlocking timing by the solenoid and the timing at which the wheel receiving frame tilts and rises shift, so that the engagement between the housing and one end of the wheel receiving frame is not maintained, and the wheel receiving frame is normally removed. In addition to being unlocked, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a failure such as a case where the housing collides with the wheel receiving frame and is destroyed. Furthermore, when the engaged body is released from the engaged state with the engaging portion, the engaged body presses the engaging portion and has elasticity to urge the wheel receiving frame toward the opening of the case. Therefore, the reverse rotation operation of the pair of movable arms can be promoted, and the release of the wheels from the pair of movable arms can be proceeded smoothly.

  In particular, in the present invention, a first plate-like portion that is fixed to the bottom surface of the case while the object to be engaged is bent and elastic until one plate material faces an acute angle, and the first plate-like portion. A plate spring formed by forming a second plate-like portion opposed to an acute angle, a step portion is provided in the second plate-like portion, and an engagement portion is engaged with the step portion. By the urging force of the leaf spring and the engagement of the engaging portion at the stepped portion, the unlocking timing by the solenoid and the timing at which the wheel receiving frame tilts and rises can be reliably shifted. Therefore, the engagement between the housing and one end of the wheel receiving frame can be reliably released, and it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a failure such as the housing colliding with the wheel receiving frame and being destroyed. it can.

  In addition, the bicycle parking case has a gap, and is configured to be fixed to a predetermined fixing portion where a stress absorbing member is attached to the gap. When the motorcycle wheel is placed with the case tilted, If the stress absorbing member absorbs the stress generated in the case, even if the motorcycle is parked in a state where a load is applied to a component such as a case tilting, the stress absorbing member Absorb and protect the case and other components from damage. If it does so, this invention can be provided as a bicycle parking machine with few failures more and more. By tilting the case to allow parking, it is possible to prevent overlapping of the handle portions of the two-wheeled vehicles at the time of parking, and easy parking is realized even in a bicycle parking lot that is crowded with two-wheeled vehicles such as almost full. In addition, the stress absorbing member makes it possible to tilt the case housing the adjacent two-wheeled vehicle and return the case housing the two-wheeled vehicle to be put in and out to a fixed position without tilting by the elastic force. Therefore, the bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention can maintain the easy insertion and removal of the two-wheeled vehicle even in a crowded scene such as almost full condition.

The solenoid 6 provided with is provided.

  Further, the bicycle parking machine A is provided with an engaging portion 23 that protrudes toward the bottom surface in the case 1 on the surface of the wheel receiving frame 2 opposite to the side on which the wheels W are placed. On the bottom surface in the case 1 is provided an engaged body to which the engaging portion 23 is engaged when the one end portion 21 is tilted and lowered. In this embodiment, the engaged body urges the wheel receiving frame 2 toward the bottom surface of the case 1 while being engaged with the engaging portion 23, and the state engaged with the engaging portion 23 is released. The structure which consists of the leaf | plate spring 11 as an elastic member which has the elasticity which presses the engaging part 23 and urges | biases the wheel receiving frame 2 toward the opening of case 1 is illustrated. Hereinafter, each component constituting the bicycle parking machine A will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The case 1 is an outer frame having an upper opening, and a metal or synthetic resin material can be used. Components necessary for the bicycle parking machine A such as the wheel receiving frame 2 are accommodated along the longitudinal direction in the case 1. In addition, a pair of movable arms 3 is installed in the approximate center in the longitudinal direction of the case 1, and a notch 12 is formed to operate the pair of arms. An arm protection frame 13 that can accommodate the movable arm 3 is provided. The plate spring 11 provided on the bottom surface of the case 1 has elasticity by being bent until a single plate material is opposed to an acute angle, and a first plate-like portion 111 fixed to the bottom surface of the case 1 and the first plate member 111. A second plate-like portion 112 is formed opposite to the plate-like portion 111 at an acute angle, and the second plate-like portion 112 is provided with a stepped portion 112a.

  The wheel receiving frame 2 is a groove-shaped frame that is open at the top, and may be made of a metal or synthetic resin material. The wheel receiving frame 2 is pivotally supported by the case 1 through the support shaft 22a so that the one end 21 is tilted and lowered by the load when the wheel W is placed. A locking piece 211 that is locked to the locking portion 41 of the housing 4 is provided on the one end portion 21 so as to protrude outward (in the direction in which the wheel W enters) from the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2. . The locking piece 211 has a substantially L-shape in side view from a protruding piece portion protruding from the wheel receiving frame 2 and a locking piece portion that comes into contact with the locking portion 41 of the housing 4 from below and is locked. Is formed. In addition, a contact piece 212 that comes into contact with the sensor 5 when tilted and lowered is provided at one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 in parallel with the protruding piece portion of the locking piece 211. In addition, the one end portion 21 is provided with a vehicle stop piece 213 for stopping the wheel W that has entered.

  The engaging portion 23 provided on the surface of the wheel receiving frame 2 opposite to the side on which the wheel W is placed engages with a step portion 112 a provided on the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11. This configuration is possible, and in this embodiment, for example, it can be configured by a roller. In addition, if the engaging part 23 is a structure which can engage with the step part 112a of the leaf | plate spring 11, members other than a roller can be employ | adopted. When the one end portion 21 tilts and descends, the roller as the engaging portion 23 engages with the stepped portion 112a of the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11 and biases the leaf spring 11 toward the bottom surface of the case 1. Receive. When the roller is released from the engaged state with the stepped portion 112a, the roller 21 is pressed from the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11, and the one end portion 21 is tilted and raised as an urging force toward the opening of the case 1. You will be energized in the direction you want.

  Moreover, the vehicle-mounted part 7 (refer FIGS. 3-6) which mounts the wheel W which approached too much rather than the wheel receiving frame 2 is provided in the one end part 21 side of the wheel receiving frame 2 in case 1. As shown in FIG. And the housing | casing 4, the sensor 5, and the solenoid 6 are accommodated in the bottom face side of the case 1 rather than this vehicle-mounted part 7. FIG.

  The pair of movable arms 3 has an arm portion 31 that is in contact with the surface of the wheel receiving frame 2 opposite to the side on which the wheel W is placed on one side in the vertical direction. A wheel lock portion 32 holding W is provided, and the arm portion 31 and the wheel lock portion 32 are connected by a connection portion 33 and formed in a substantially U shape in a side view. The pair of movable arms 3 has a notch 12 at the center in the longitudinal direction of the case 1 in a state where the arm 31 is brought into contact with the surface of the wheel receiving frame 2 opposite to the side on which the wheel W is placed. And is housed in the arm protection frame 13 covering the notch 12 and housed in the case 1. The pair of movable arms 3 are pivotally supported with respect to the arm protection frame 13 so as to be pivotable through a support shaft 33 a provided on the arm portion 31 side of the connection portion 33. In addition, it is preferable from the viewpoint of further reducing the failure of the bicycle parking machine A to provide the arm protection frame 13 with a stopper 13a that prevents the pair of movable arms 3 from rotating too much.

  In the pair of movable arms 3, the arm portion 31 is pressed by the tilting and lowering of the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2, and the wheel lock portion 32 is moved left and right through the support shaft 33a being pivotally supported by the pressing. The wheel lock part 32 holds a part of the wheel W. Further, when the wheel lock portion 32 is opened to the left and right, a reverse rotation in the opposite direction to the rotation that holds a part of the wheel W occurs, and the pair of movable arms 3 releases the wheel W and supports the shaft 33a. Thus, the arm part 31 presses the wheel receiving frame 2 through the connection part 33 being pivotally supported, and the one end part 21 is tilted and raised. Further, the movable arm 3 is configured to be provided with a center of gravity at a position shifted from the support shaft 33a that is pivotally supported with respect to the arm protection frame 13 so that the movable arm 3 rotates in a direction to open to the left and right by its own weight. From the viewpoint of realizing a smooth operation when W is released, this is a preferable mode.

  The housing 4 is configured to have a hook-shaped locking portion 41 having irregularities formed on one side surface and an upper portion protruding in the horizontal direction. The housing 4 has a support shaft 4a (see FIGS. 3 to 6) such that the locking portion 41 is rotated in the direction away from the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 by the dead weight (the other side surface on which the unevenness is not formed). It is supported by. The wheel receiving frame 2 is in contact with the movable iron core 61 of the solenoid 6 on the other side opposite to the one end 21 side. The locking portion 41 is located on the extension line of the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2. When the wheel receiving frame 2 tilts and descends to the lowest end position and is pressed on the other side by the solenoid 6, the housing 4 is provided on the one end 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2. The upper end of the piece 211 is locked by the locking portion 41.

  The sensor 5 is, for example, a contact sensor, and includes a sense portion 51 that is brought into contact with the contact piece 212 when the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 is tilted and lowered, and the wheel W of the two-wheeled vehicle B is the wheel receiving frame 2. It senses that it has been placed (parked) above, energizes the solenoid 6, excites it, and issues a signal for projecting the movable iron core 61. In addition, a signal indicating that the two-wheeled vehicle B has been placed (parked) on the wheel receiving frame 2 is issued to a charging means or a password input means (not shown), thereby playing a role of starting functions such as charging. The sensor 5 senses that the wheel W is placed (parked) on the wheel receiving frame 2 and then sends a signal to the solenoid 6 after a predetermined time, for example, to activate the movable iron core 61 of the solenoid 6. It is possible to adjust. In addition to the contact sensor, various sensing means can be used.

  The solenoid 6 protrudes the movable iron core 61 and presses the housing 4 toward the one end portion 21 side of the wheel receiving portion 2, and locks the locking piece 211 of the wheel receiving portion 2 to the locking portion 41 of the housing 4. Let Thereby, the wheel receiving part 2 is locked by the housing 4. When the fee is paid by the charging means or the password input means, or the predetermined password is input, the solenoid 6 receives a signal to that effect and returns the movable iron core 61 to the original position. As a result, the housing 4 rotates in the direction away from the one end 21 side of the wheel receiving portion 2 by its own weight, and the locking portion 211 is unlocked by the locking portion 41, thereby releasing the wheel receiving portion. 2 is unlocked. The solenoid 6 generates a magnetic field by energization, and moves the movable iron core 61 by the magnetic field. For example, the energization is continued for a long time such as several hours when the bicycle is parked. This is not preferable from the viewpoint of economy. For this reason, when the movable iron core 61 is energized only when it is necessary to move it, and when it is not energized, for example, the protruding movable iron core 61 is held by a coil spring, and the movable iron core 61 returned to the original position is a permanent magnet. It is preferable to use a form that is held by.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the bicycle parking apparatus A according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the wheel W of the two-wheeled vehicle B is placed on the wheel receiving frame 2 and locked in the bicycle parking machine A. At this time, the bicycle parking machine A is tilted and lowered by the weight of the wheel W on which the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 is placed, and the wheel lock portion 32 of the movable arm 3 holds a part of the wheel W and the solenoid. The locking piece 211 of the one end portion 21 is locked to the locking portion 41 of the housing 4 pressed by the protrusion of the movable iron core 61. Further, the contact piece 212 of the one end portion 21 is in contact with the sense portion 51 of the sensor 5. The accounting means or password input means not shown starts the operation such as accounting. Furthermore, the roller as the engaging portion 23 provided on the surface of the wheel receiving frame 2 opposite to the side on which the wheel W is placed engages with the step portion 112 a of the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11. The plate spring 11 is biased toward the bottom surface of the case 1.

  Then, the fee is paid by the owner of the motorcycle B in the billing means or the password input means, or the predetermined password is input, whereby the movable iron core 61 of the solenoid 6 returns to the original position, and FIG. The unlocking mechanism as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state where the wheel W of the two-wheeled vehicle B is still placed on the wheel receiving frame 2 at the moment when the bicycle parking machine A is unlocked.

  That is, in the bicycle parking machine A, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable iron core 61 of the solenoid 6 returns to the original position, and at the same time, the housing 4 rotates in a direction away from the one end 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 by its own weight. Then, the locking between the locking portion 41 and the locking piece 211 is released, and the wheel receiving frame 2 is unlocked. On the other hand, the engaging portion 23 (roller) provided on the surface opposite to the side on which the wheel W of the wheel receiving frame 2 is placed is still the step portion of the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11. Since it is in a state of being engaged with 112 a, the plate spring 11 is biased toward the bottom surface of the case 1. Then, the roller prevents the wheel receiving frame 2 from tilting and rising due to the engagement with the stepped portion 112a.

  Further, as the owner of the motorcycle B removes the wheel W from the wheel receiving frame 2 and removes the motorcycle B from the bicycle parking machine A, the operation shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the wheel W of the two-wheeled vehicle B is being removed from the wheel receiving frame 2 in the bicycle parking machine A.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the bicycle parking machine A, the wheel lock unit 32 is supported by the rotation of the movable arm 3 by its own weight due to a part of the wheel W coming into contact with the wheel lock unit 32 of the movable arm 3. Opens to the left and right, and reverse rotation in the opposite direction to the rotation for holding a part of the wheel W occurs. In conjunction with this, the arm portion 31 presses the wheel receiving frame 2 and the one end portion 21 tilts up. Begin to. And the engaging part 23 (roller) provided in the surface on the opposite side to the side by which the wheel W of the wheel receiving frame 2 is mounted is with the step part 112a of the 2nd plate-shaped part 112 of the leaf | plate spring 11. It is released from the engaged state, and then is pressed from the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11 and is biased toward the opening of the case 1 so that the one end portion 21 is tilted and raised. To encourage.

  At this time, since the wheel receiving frame 2 is unlocked and the load due to the wheels W is also reduced, there is nothing to prevent the one end portion 21 of the wheel receiving frame 2 from tilting and rising. Accordingly, when the tilting of the one end portion 21 is promoted, the movable arm 3 further reversely rotates to completely release the wheel W. Then, as the owner of the motorcycle B completely removes the motorcycle B from the bicycle parking machine A, the bicycle parking machine A becomes in a state as shown in FIG. 6 and the side on which the wheels W of the wheel receiving frame 2 are placed. The engaging portion 23 (roller) provided on the opposite surface is continuously pressed against the tip of the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11 and is urged toward the opening of the case 1. As long as no load surpassing the force is applied to the wheel receiving frame 2, the movable arm 3 does not rotate and the wheel receiving frame 2 is not locked by the housing 4.

  Therefore, in the bicycle parking machine A according to the present invention, the movable iron core 61 of the solenoid 6 returns to the original position and unlocks the wheel receiving frame 2, while the wheel W of the wheel receiving frame 2 is placed. As long as the engaging portion 23 (roller) provided on the surface opposite to the surface is engaged with the stepped portion 112a of the second plate-like portion 112 of the leaf spring 11, the bottom surface of the case 1 from the leaf spring 11 The structure which suppresses that the wheel receiving frame 2 tilts and raises by receiving the urging | biasing toward is constructed | assembled. In the present invention, by constructing such an unlocking mechanism, the timing of unlocking the wheel receiving frame 2 by the solenoid 6 and the timing of tilting and rising of the wheel receiving frame 2 can be reliably shifted. As a result, the locking between the housing 4 and the one end portion 21 (the locking piece 211) of the wheel receiving frame 2 is not maintained despite the unlocking operation, and the wheel receiving frame 2 is normally removed. It can be unlocked, and it is also possible to prevent the occurrence of a failure such as the locking pieces 211 colliding with the housing 4 and being mutually destroyed. In particular, even when the wheel W rides on the wheel receiving frame 2 and is parked, the wheel receiving frame 2 tilts and drops due to the load of the wheel W and is locked by the housing 4. Since the timing of unlocking the wheel receiving frame 2 and the timing of tilting and rising of the wheel receiving frame 2 are surely shifted, the occurrence of the failure as described above can be effectively prevented.

  In the present invention, when the state in which the leaf spring 11 and the engaging portion 23 are engaged is released, the engaging portion 23 is pressed by the leaf spring 11 so that the wheel receiving frame 2 faces the opening of the case 1. By energizing and encouraging reverse rotation of the pair of movable arms 3, it is possible to smoothly release the wheels W and prevent events such as the wheels W and the movable arms 3 colliding with each other and being damaged. Can do.

  Here, in the bicycle parking apparatus A according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7A, the case 1 has a gap X, and a wave washer 8a, for example, as a stress absorbing member is attached to the gap X. Preferably, the wave washer 8a absorbs the stress generated when the wheel W of the two-wheeled vehicle B is placed with the case 1 tilted. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, even when the case 1 is tilted and the case 1 and other components are parked in a loaded state, the stress is absorbed by the wave washer 8, These can be protected from damage. For example, even when the bicycle parking lot is crowded with two-wheeled vehicles and the vehicle is almost full, the case 1 can be tilted so that the bicycle can be parked. Easy parking of B can be realized.

  More specifically, the wave washer 8a is attached to the formed gap X, and the bicycle parking machine A is configured by fixing the case 1 to a predetermined position where the bottom surface of the case 1 is fixed through bolts 81 and nuts 82. To do. Note that the stress absorbing member attached to the formed gap is not limited to the wave washer 8a, and any member that can absorb the stress generated by the inclination of the case 1 is applicable. For example, a sponge-like stress absorbing member such as a sponge can be applied. In addition, the stress absorbing member including the wave washer 8a exerts a fixed position returning action based on its elastic force, thereby tilting the case 1 housing the adjacent two-wheeled vehicle B in a direction away from the case 1. The case 1 accommodating the two-wheeled vehicle B to be taken in and out can be returned to a fixed position (the state where the vehicle 1 is not inclined in FIG. 7A). If the case 1 returns to the state in which it is not inclined, the two-wheeled vehicle B can be easily taken in and out, so that the bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention also has an effect of ease of taking in and out in a crowded scene.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims.

  For example, as a configuration of the engaging portion that can be engaged with the step portion of the leaf spring, a claw-shaped member that is hooked and engaged with the step portion may be employed. Further, the engaged body urges the wheel receiving frame toward the bottom surface of the case in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion, and presses the engaging portion when the state of being engaged with the engaging portion is released. An elastic member other than the leaf spring can be employed as long as it has elasticity to urge the wheel receiving frame toward the opening of the case. For this reason, there are many possible combinations of engaged bodies and engaging portions that can solve the problems taken up in the present invention, and the present invention can be configured by selecting from these.
