The bicycle parking apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above.
Next, an operation when the two-wheeled vehicle 11 is normally parked in the parking device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 and FIGS. 8 to 14.
1, 8, and 9 show a state in a standby state before parking.
The lock claws 26a and 26b are opened by being biased by the coil spring 54. At this time, the sleeve member 27a rotates in the arrow Y direction in FIG. 8 in conjunction with the opening operation of the lock claws 26a and 26b. As a result, the stopper 42 is pressed against the step wall surface 47b of the first stepped portion 47 so as to be disengaged from the locking to the locking portion 45 and falls onto the stepped surface 47a of the first stepped portion 47. 42 is pressed by the step wall surface 47b and pressed by the wall surface of the slit 44, and is in a stopped state. This is a standby state.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the wheel 11 a of the two-wheeled vehicle 11 is in contact with the contact portion 36 by the user. As shown in FIGS. 3, 10, 11, and 12 from this state, when the wheel 11a is further pushed in, the contact portion 36 is pressed by the wheel 11a, and the lock claws 26a, 26b are coil springs as described above. It is turned against the urging force of 54 to lock the wheel 11a (FIG. 3). The sleeve member 27a rotates in the arrow Z direction as shown in FIG. 10 in conjunction with the rotation of the locking claws 26a, 26b in the closing direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the stopper 42 is disengaged from the stepped surface 47a of the first stepped portion 47, and can be dropped into the second stepped portion 48, and the stopper 42 is moved to the coil spring 43 as shown in FIG. Is pulled down to the second stepped portion 48, and the stopper 42 is engaged with the stepped wall surface 48b of the second stepped portion 48, whereby the rotation of the lock claws 26a and 26b is closed, and the lock claw The lock | rock of the wheel 11a by 26a, 26b is completed (FIG. 11, FIG. 12).

When the stopper 42 falls into the second stepped portion 48, the stopper 42 turns on the limit switch 50, and a signal from the limit switch 50 is input to a control unit (not shown).
By the way, in the control part, the contact part 36 is pressed by hand by the mischief of the child etc. whether the two-wheeled vehicle 11 was parked normally, and the stopper 42 as shown in FIG. It is not possible to determine whether the pseudo-lock state is depressed.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first signal from the limit switch 50 is input to the control unit, the control unit drives the drive device 18, and the support mechanism 12 a, 12b is rotated to the rear by a required angle, and the electromagnetic solenoid 40 is energized, and the stopper 42 is lifted against the urging force of the coil spring 43 together with the plunger 41, and the stepped wall surface 48b of the second stepped portion 48 of the stopper 42 Release the lock. On the other hand, when the support members 12a and 12b are rotated rearward, the contact portion 36 is separated from the wheel 11a, so that the lock claws 26a and 26b are opened by the biasing force of the coil spring 54 (FIG. 4).

  By further rotating the first link 21, the support members 12 a and 12 are now rotated forward, and when the two-wheeled vehicle 11 is present forward, the contact portion 36 contacts the wheel 11 a and the wheel The wheel 11a is locked by the lock claws 26a and 26b in the same manner as described above (FIG. 5). Similarly, the stopper 42 falls into the second stepped portion 48, and the limit switch 50 is turned on again, and the second signal is input to the control unit.

Since the second signal from the limit switch 50 is a signal that confirms the presence of the two-wheeled vehicle 11, the control unit determines that the two-wheeled vehicle 11 has been parked normally and starts counting the parking time. .
When the contact portion 36 is pressed by mischief, such as manual pressure, and the vehicle is in a pseudo parking state as described above, when the support members 12a and 12b are rotated forward by a required angle as described above, the two-wheeled vehicle 11 does not exist, the contact portion 36 is not pressed again, and the locking claws 26a and 26b are not closed. Then, the first link 21 makes one rotation, and the support members 12a and 12b return to the standby state. Since the limit switch 50 is not turned on again and a second signal is not input to the control unit, the control unit determines that the contact portion 36 is pressed due to mischief and does not perform the subsequent processing.

  After use, when the user unlocks the wheel 11a, the user pays a usage fee displayed by the control unit. When it is confirmed that the usage fee has been paid, the control unit drives the electromagnetic solenoid 40, pulls up the stopper 42 together with the plunger 41, and locks the second stepped portion 48 of the stopper 42 to the stepped wall surface 48b. To release. As a result, the lock claws 26a and 26b are in a free state, and the lock claws 26a and 26b are freely rotatable. Therefore, when the user pulls out the two-wheeled vehicle 11 toward the front side of the locking device 25, the user is urged by the coil spring 54 to open the lock claws 26a and 26b, and the two-wheeled vehicle can be pulled out.

Even in this case, as long as the wheel 11a is in contact with the contact portion 36, the lock claws 26a and 26b can freely rotate, but the tips of the lock claws are closed. Therefore, the first user is in a situation where it is not clear whether the lock claws 26a and 26b are unlocked.
Therefore, when the usage fee is paid, the control unit not only releases the closing of the locking claws 26a and 26b by the stopper 42, but also drives the driving device 18 to slightly rotate the support members 12a and 12b backward. It is preferable that the lock claws 26a and 26b are opened even a little so that the user can understand that the lock claws 26a and 26b are in the released state.

When the usage fee is paid, the electromagnetic solenoid 40 is driven as described above, and the stopper 42 is pulled up together with the plunger 41, the stopper 42 has a stepped surface 47a of the first stepped portion 47 as shown in FIG. In addition to being pulled up further upward, and being pulled obliquely by the coil spring 43, it is locked to the locking portion 45.
Of course, in this case, the lock pawls 26a and 26b become free by being released from the stopper 42, and can be opened by the urging force of the coil spring 54. At the same time, the sleeve member 27a also rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow Y in FIG. Although it becomes possible, the stopper 42 remains locked to the locking portion 45 until the step wall surface 47 b of the first stepped portion 47 presses the stopper 42.

While the stopper 42 is locked to the locking portion 45, the stopper 42 does not fall into the second stepped portion 48, and the locking claw 26a, 26b cannot lock the wheel 11a.
When the user tries to pull out the two-wheeled vehicle 11 from the locking device 25 after paying the usage fee, it is conceivable to move the two-wheeled vehicle 11 slightly back and forth. In that case, if the two-wheeled vehicle 11 is pulled out to the lockable state shown in FIG. 8 (the state in which the stopper 42 is disengaged from the engaging portion 45) and then pushed in, the wheel 11a may be re-locked. is there. However, in the case of the present embodiment, since the step surface 47a of the first stepped portion 47 is set to have a required length, the wheel 11a moves back and forth within the length of the stepped surface 47a. If so, since the stopper 42 remains locked to the locking portion 45 (FIG. 14), the wheel 11a can be prevented from being re-locked, which is safe.
Of course, when the user completely pulls out the motorcycle 11 from the locking device 25, the stopper 42 is released from the locking portion 45 by pushing the stopper 42 by the step wall surface 47b, and the stopper 42 falls into the first step portion 47, The standby state shown in FIGS.

  As described above, according to the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present embodiment, since the step surface 47a of the first step portion 47 of the sleeve member 27a is set to have a required length, When the user tries to pull out the two-wheeled vehicle 11 from the locking device 25 after paying the usage fee, even if the two-wheeled vehicle 11 is moved slightly back and forth, the movement of the wheel 11a is within the length of the step surface 47a. Since the stopper 42 remains locked to the locking portion 45 (FIG. 14), the wheel 11a can be prevented from re-locking and is safe.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, support member 12a, 12b is provided so that rotation in the front-back direction is possible, and it can confirm the case where a contact part was pressed by the mischief and was made into the pseudo lock state as mentioned above. However, the support members 12a and 12b are not necessarily provided so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction.
That is, in the present invention, the support members 12a and 12b are fixed in an upright state, do not have the above-described mischief confirmation function, and only have a lock function and a lock release function of the motorcycle 11 by the lock mechanism 25. May be. Also in this case, similarly to the above, the two-wheeled vehicle 11 can be prevented from being re-locked by the re-lock preventing mechanism such as the sleeve member 27a having the two stepped portions 47 and 48 on the end face and the stopper 42 mechanism.
