It is standing at the position where it is moved. That is, assuming that a dimension between the rotating shaft 11 and the rotating shaft 21 of the outlet opening / closing door 20 is L1, and a dimension between the rotating shaft 11 and the right end of the frame 50 is L2, a relationship of L1> L2 holds. L1
Is set to a size that allows a bicycle or motorcycle to pass with the user, and L2 is set to a size that allows only the user to pass.

The rotating shaft 11 is pivotally supported by a frame 50, and a distal end of the rotating shaft 11 is connected to a rotation driving unit 63 in which a motor, a gear box, a clutch and the like are combined. It should be noted that the rotation drive unit 63 is provided with a reset function for returning the rotation door 10 to the reference angle position shown in FIG. 2 regardless of the rotation angle.

As shown in FIG. 1, the outlet opening / closing door 20 has a structure in which a total of two door members 22 formed by bending pipes are attached to the outer peripheral surface of a rotary shaft 41. It is set in. As with the entrance door 30, an exit opening / closing drive 61 is connected to the rotating shaft 31. That is, the exit opening / closing door 20 is provided so as to be openable and closable between a closed position where the bicycle or the motorcycle passes through the exit B and an open position where it does not interfere.

On the other hand, when the outlet opening / closing drive section 61 operates, the outlet opening / closing door 20 opens and closes in the directions shown in FIG. 2 respectively.

An ultrasonic sensor 93 for detecting the presence of a user near the entrance A is attached to a position above the entrance A of the frame 50 inside the field. Similarly, an ultrasonic sensor 91 for detecting the presence of a user near the exit B is attached to an upper position inside the exit A (corresponding to an exit object detection sensor). Further, a plurality of ultrasonic sensors 92 for detecting the presence of a user who approaches the entrance A from the inside of the bicycle parking area are arranged above the entrance A in the bicycle parking lot (corresponding to an entrance object detection sensor). .

Note that an optical sensor or a foot switch may be used instead of the ultrasonic sensor, and any sensor that can detect an object may be used.

An automatic toll collection machine 70 is provided in front of the exit B in the bicycle parking lot. The automatic toll collection machine 70 outputs data such as the amount of money inserted and the contents of coins or prepaid cards when money, coins or prepaid cards are inserted by a user who tries to take a bicycle or motorcycle out of the venue. Configuration.

The coins or prepaid cards are dedicated to bicycle parking lots, and are distributed to users by vending machines (not shown). Bicycles and motorcycles have different rates. The prepaid card records not only the type of vehicle but also data on the number of times of use, and the like. When the card is set in the automatic toll collection machine 70, the data on the number of times of use can be rewritten each time.

On the ground in front of the automatic toll collection machine 70, a load cell 81 for detecting the weight of a vehicle of a user who intends to take the vehicle out of the park is provided (corresponding to a weight sensor). The load cell 81 is attached below a receiving portion 81 made of aluminum or the like and having a concave cross section. The width of the groove formed on the upper surface of the receiving portion 81 is set to a size such that a tire of a bicycle or a motorcycle can be inserted.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when a front wheel of a bicycle or a motorcycle of a user who intends to take the vehicle out of the field (a dotted line in the figure indicates a front wheel of a bicycle or the like) is inserted into a groove of the receiving portion 81, the front wheel The weight is detected by the load cell 81.

Although a method of detecting the weight of a bicycle or a motorcycle itself may be employed, the method according to the present invention is the most desirable because the device is large and the cost is high. Even in the case of the present invention, there is no problem because the weight of the vehicle itself and the weight of its front wheels are approximately proportional.

An alarm 65 is provided near the entrance A and the exit B of the automatic toll collection machine 70 to warn the user using sound or light.

Next, a control device for controlling the automatic door for a bicycle parking lot will be described with reference to FIG. The control device 100 is a sequence control circuit configured using a relay circuit, a microcomputer, or the like, and is housed inside the automatic toll collector 70.

The input of the control device 100 includes a switch button 51 for opening the entrance doors 30 and 40 provided near the entrance A outside the bicycle parking lot, and a load cell 8.
0, automatic toll collection machine 70, ultrasonic sensors 91, 92, 9
3 are connected. Outputs include an opening / closing drive 61, a rotation drive 62, and opening / closing drives 63 and 6.
4. The alarm 65 and the like are connected.

The sequence control procedure of the control device 100 will be described, and the operation of the bicycle parking lot automatic door configured as described above will be described.

First, when the switch button 51 is pressed by a user who wants to enter from the entrance A of the bicycle parking lot, the entrance opening / closing drive section 63 is operated, the entrance opening / closing door 30 is opened, and then the entrance opening / closing drive section. 64 is operated to open the entrance door 40. The user can enter from the entrance A while the entrance doors 30 and 40 are open.

When a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening / closing doors 30 and 40 were opened, the opening / closing drive section 63 is operated in reverse, the opening / closing door 30 is closed, and then the opening / closing drive section 64 is operated in reverse. Then, the entrance opening / closing door 40 is closed (corresponding to the entrance door control unit).

However, in the process of closing the entrance doors 30, 40, when the ultrasonic sensor 93 detects a user,
The entrance opening / closing drive units 63 and 64 are stopped for a predetermined time. This prevents the user from being caught by the entrance doors 30 and 40, and ensures safety.

After the entrance door 30 is closed, the entrance door 40, which is shorter than the entrance door, is closed. , 40 can be reduced.

When the ultrasonic sensor 92 detects a user approaching the entrance A while the entrance doors 30 and 40 are open, the entrance doors 30 and 40 are closed in the same manner as described above. . Therefore, a bicycle or motorcycle cannot be illegally taken out from the entrance A. In addition, since the length of the entrance opening / closing door 30 that is closed first is long, the user can be intimidated. At this time, since the alarm 65 is operated to emit a sound or light for intimidation, a great intimidating effect can be expected also in this regard.

It should be noted that, except when another user is about to leave his or her bicycle or motorcycle from exit B, the rotary drive unit 62 is not operating and its clutch is disengaged. A user entering through the entrance A can push the revolving door 11 by hand to rotate freely, and can exit through the exit B.

Next, when the front wheel of the vehicle is put into the groove of the receiving portion 81 by a user who intends to take his / her bicycle or motorcycle out of the parking lot, data on the weight of the front wheel of the vehicle is input from the load cell 81. Is done.

The control device 100 records weight reference data relating to the maximum weight of the front wheel of the bicycle, compares this data with data input from the load cell 81,
When the former is larger, it is determined that the vehicle is a bicycle, while when it is smaller, it is determined that it is a motorcycle (corresponding to a vehicle type determination unit).

Thereafter, the user sets the automatic toll collection machine 70
When money, coins or prepaid cards are placed in
Each data of the amount of the inserted money, the contents of the coin or the prepaid card is input from the automatic toll collection machine 70.

The control unit 100 stores in advance data of a regular fee, coins, or prepaid cards necessary for using the bicycle parking lot for each vehicle. , Automatic tolling machine 70
Is compared with the data input from the above, if the two match, it is determined that the money, coins or prepaid card inserted in the automatic tolling machine 70 is valid, while if they do not match, it is not valid Judgment (corresponding to a charge judging unit).

As a result, when it is determined that the money or the like is legitimate, the exit opening / closing drive section 61 is operated, and the exit opening / closing door 20 is opened. When the user approaches the exit B together with the bicycle or the motorcycle when the exit opening / closing door 20 is opened and the ultrasonic sensor 91 detects the user coming to the position just before the exit opening / closing door 20, the rotation driving unit 62. After the clutch is turned on and the motor is operated to rotate the revolving door 10 slowly by an angle of 90 degrees, the outlet opening / closing drive unit 61 is reversely operated, and the outlet door 20 is closed.

When the user pushes the bicycle or motorcycle in accordance with the speed at which the revolving door 10 slowly rotates, the user can take the bicycle out of the field through the exit B. However, when the user goes out of the hall, the exit opening / closing door 20 closes, so that it is impossible for another user to take a bicycle or the like out of the hall. That is, a bicycle or motorcycle cannot be illegally taken out of the exit B.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the money or the like is not normal, the exit opening / closing drive unit 61 and the rotation driving unit 62 are not operated (the clutch is kept disengaged), and the exit opening / closing door 20 is kept closed. Then, the revolving door 62 is brought into a state where it can freely rotate.

Not paying regular money or legitimate coins,
A user who does not carry a prepaid card cannot illegally take out a bicycle or motorcycle from the exit B through the exit B, and also in this aspect, illegal use can be reliably prevented.

Incidentally, the automatic door for a bicycle parking lot according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, in the above-mentioned example, the same thing as the revolving door 11 provided at the exit B and the opening / closing door 20 at the entrance A It may be configured to be equipped with

[0046]

As described above, in the case of the automatic door for bicycle parking according to claim 1 of the present invention, although the user can freely exit through the exit of the bicycle parking lot, he or she can pay a regular fee or use a regular coin or coin. Because you do not have a prepaid card, you can not take out your own bicycle or motorcycle, so at least there is no illegal exit from the exit of the bicycle parking lot, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the bicycle parking lot it can.

In the case of the automatic door for a bicycle parking lot according to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, it is determined whether or not the vehicle of the user who is going to be taken out of the field is a bicycle or a motorcycle. It is configured to determine whether the fee paid by the user or the coin to be carried or the prepaid card is genuine by also referring to the determination result, so it is not necessary to adopt a method of sticking a bicycle etc. In spite of the fact that a motorcycle is actually parked, illegal use by a person who has only a bicycle fee, coins or prepaid card can be prevented beforehand. In particular, in the case of temporary custody, this kind of unauthorized use can be effectively prevented even if the manager is not on standby.

According to the automatic door for a bicycle parking lot according to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the constitution of the first or second aspect, when the user takes out his / her bicycle or motorcycle through the exit of the bicycle parking area, one bicycle is required. Since it is configured to be able to take out only another bicycle, it is impossible to take out other bicycles or the like while the exit is open, and this kind of illegal use can be prevented beforehand.

According to the automatic door for a bicycle parking lot according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the constitution of the first, second or third aspect, a configuration is also possible in which a user cannot take out a bicycle or a motorcycle through the entrance of the bicycle parking lot. As a result, unauthorized exit from the entrance of the bicycle parking lot can be prevented. Not only that, since the second entrance door having a shorter length is closed after the first entrance door is closed, the first entrance door that is closed first is closed. The longer the length of the bicycle, the more intimidating the user who approaches the entrance of the bicycle parking area in order to illegally take out the bicycle or motorcycle. On the other hand, it is also possible to reduce a feeling of oppression that a user who intends to enter from the entrance of the bicycle parking lot is caught by the entrance door.

Therefore, the synergistic effect of the above-mentioned merits makes it possible to drastically improve illegal use of bicycle parking lots, which is of great significance in achieving complete unmanned bicycle parking lots.
