DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle parking gate for parking bicycles, motorcycles and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the number of people who commute to school or work using bicycles or motorcycles has increased, and as a result, paid bicycle parking lots have increased. Such bicycle parking lots are increasingly equipped with devices for automatically opening and closing gates in consideration of reduction of personnel costs and prevention of theft and the like.

[0003] Conventionally, when a user enters a gate for a bicycle parking lot for which opening / closing is automated, the approach of the user is detected by a photoelectric sensor or the like, and the door is automatically opened to allow the bicycle and the like to communicate with each other. Allows simultaneous entry, and after an elapse of a predetermined time or when the completion of the user's entrance is detected by another sensor, an automatic gate for entrance that closes the door, and when the user leaves, presentation of a predetermined card or fee Only when payment was made, the door was opened, allowing the bicycle and the user to exit, and another sensor was used to detect the completion of exit of the user or the completion of exit of the user after a predetermined period of time as in the automatic gate for entrance described above. In general, an automatic exit gate that closes a door and a rotary gate that only a user can enter and exit are equipped.
Further, in consideration of economy, a bicycle parking lot gate in which the above-mentioned automatic gate for entrance and the automatic gate for exit are formed into a single automatic gate is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-20788.

[0004]

The conventional bicycle parking gate introduced above has the following disadvantages.

[0005] Due to the structure, when a plurality of bicycles enter and exit continuously, it is impossible to control entrance and exit of the second and subsequent bicycles, so that illegal acts such as non-payment of fees and theft of bicycles and the like are possible. On the other hand, if the sensitivity of the sensor is increased and the opening and closing of the door is made quicker in order to prevent such an adverse effect, the user may be harmed. Furthermore, collusion by two people, or only the user exiting the revolving gate, malfunctioning the sensor that judges the opening and closing of the automatic entrance gate, opening the automatic entrance gate, and exiting from the entrance gate. By doing so, fraudulent acts that avoid paying the fee are possible.

Automatic gates for entrance and exit are:
Since a user passes while pushing a bicycle or the like, it is necessary to provide a large door that can control entrance and exit of both the user and the bicycle. Such a large door is inevitably heavy in weight, and in order to open and close it, the driving force of a motor or the like must be increased, and the mechanism for opening and closing the door must be strong. For this reason, the door opening / closing device itself becomes very expensive, and the purpose of automation, which is to reduce the usage fee by reducing labor costs, cannot be achieved. Also, in the bicycle parking lot gate disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 6-20788 in which the entrance and exit gates are unified, the manufacturing cost is reduced because the number of automatic gates is one. Therefore, the user and the motorcycle must pass at the same time, and a large-scale door opening / closing device is required.

[0007] Further, since the type of the motorcycle parked is not determined, it is not possible to make a difference in the fee between when the bicycle is parked and when the motorcycle is parked.
Since the occupied space is different between a bicycle and a motorcycle, a profit cannot be efficiently obtained from a limited-area bicycle parking lot unless there is a difference in the charge according to the type of the motorcycle.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gate for a bicycle parking lot which can achieve automation easily and economically and can prevent illegal parking such as illegal parking and theft. And

[0017]

According to the gate for a bicycle parking lot of the present invention having the above-described structure, the following effects are obtained.

(1) According to the bicycle parking gate according to the first aspect, when a bicycle or the like is loaded or unloaded, the user and the bicycle or the like are separated from each other, that is, the revolving gate and the revolving gate are arranged side by side. It is a structure that passes through the entrance gate or the exit gate that has been set, and the revolving gate can rotate only in a certain direction, and it is not possible to carry in and out of bicycles, so the user needs to take a bicycle etc. from the entrance side. Unable to carry in or carry in bicycles from the exit side. For this reason, in the present bicycle parking gate, it is essentially difficult to perform wrongdoing. Further, when an automatic door opening / closing device or the like described later is provided, it becomes more difficult to perform wrongdoing.

In addition, when a user carries a bicycle or a motorcycle into or out of a bicycle parking lot, a rotary gate through which the user passes and an entrance gate and an exit gate through which the bicycle or motorcycle passes are divided. The space occupied by the gate can be reduced. Therefore, when the door described in claim 2 or later described below is attached to the entrance gate and the exit gate, the size and weight of the door can be reduced, so that the driving force of the motor for opening and closing the door is small.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a bicycle parking gate according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a front view of the gate for a bicycle parking lot according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a plan view thereof. In general, a bicycle parking lot is surrounded by a wall or a fence, and a part of the wall or the like is provided with the bicycle parking gate 1 of this embodiment. The bicycle parking gate 1 includes a revolving gate 2 to which only a user can enter and exit, a bicycle and a motorcycle (as described above, means a motor-driven bicycle and a motorcycle).
It is composed of an entrance gate 3 that can carry in only the vehicle, and an exit gate 4 that can carry out only bicycles and motorcycles. Hereinafter, each part will be described.

(1) Rotating Gate As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rotating gate 2 is located between the entrance gate 3 and the exit gate 4, and the entrance gate 3 is a partition member 6 and the exit gate 4 Is partitioned by the partition member 5. At the center of the rotating gate 2, a rotating shaft 7 was provided vertically so as to be rotatable counterclockwise, and four partition doors 8 were further attached to the rotating shaft 7. Each partition door 8 was attached such that adjacent partition doors 8 formed a right angle when viewed from the axial direction of the rotating shaft 7 and formed a cross shape as a whole (see FIG. 2). As a result, the partitioning door 8 is rotated by the rotating shaft 7 as shown by a virtual line in FIG.
Is provided so as to be rotatable counterclockwise around the center. Since the space between the partition doors 8 is made smaller than the size of the bicycle and the motorcycle, the revolving gate 2 cannot carry in and out the bicycle and the motorcycle, and only the user can enter and exit. It is. At the bottom of the rotating shaft 7, a rotating gate opening / closing device 9 or a rotating gate lock device 9 'is provided. The rotating gate opening / closing device 9 can rotate the rotating shaft 7 by only 90 ° in conjunction with opening / closing of a door 12 of the entrance gate 3 described later. Similarly, the rotating gate lock device 9 ′, in conjunction with opening and closing of the door 12, allows the rotation of the rotating shaft 7 when the door 12 is open and turns when the door 12 is closed. This locks the rotation of the shaft 7. Therefore, only users who park bicycles or the like can enter, and it is possible to prevent outsiders from entering the parking area. In addition to the structure of rotating the rotating shaft 7 itself as in the present embodiment, a structure in which the rotating shaft 7 is fixed and the partition door 8 is rotatably provided may be used, and the number of the partition doors 8 is not limited to four. It is sufficient that the space between the adjacent partition doors 8 is smaller than that of a bicycle or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, a sensor A including a light emitter 10 and a light receiver 11 is installed near the entrance of the entrance space of the rotary gate 2 to detect the entry of a user into the entrance space. A sensor B including a light emitter 10 and a light receiver 11 is also installed near the exit of the entrance space to detect the exit of the user from the entrance space, that is, the entrance to the bicycle parking lot. Similarly, a sensor C composed of a light emitter 10 and a light receiver 11 is installed near the entrance of the exit space of the rotary gate 2, and a sensor D made of the light emitter 10 and the light receiver 11 is installed near the exit, so that a user of the exit space can use the sensor C. Detects entry and exit. As described above, in the present embodiment, the light emitter 10 and the light receiver 11
However, without being limited to this, a direct reflection type or a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor may be used, or a contact type switch having a movable piece protruding from one end may be used. It suffices if it is possible to detect the entry and exit of the user into the entrance space and exit space.

(2) Entrance Gate The entrance gate 3 is adjacent to the right side of the rotary gate 2 when viewed from the outside of the bicycle parking lot (same as the front view in FIG. 1), and is sandwiched between the wall of the bicycle parking lot and the partition member 6. , Bicycles and motorcycles. The entrance gate 3 is equipped with a door 12 to control entry of a bicycle or the like.
The door 12 is joined to a vertically erected shaft 12a,
It is provided so as to be rotatable about 90 ° about a, that is, between a state perpendicular to the direction in which the bicycle or the like travels and a state parallel to the direction in which the bicycle or the like advances (indicated by phantom lines in FIG. 2). An opening / closing device 13 capable of rotating the shaft 12a and thus the door 12 by being driven by a motor (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the shaft 12a (see FIG. 2).

A discriminating device 14 for discriminating between a bicycle and a motorcycle is provided at the bottom of the entrance gate 3. The discriminating equipment 14 is composed of a groove 14a and a sensor 14b. The groove 14a has a width larger than the width of the tire of the bicycle and smaller than the width of the tire of the motorcycle, and is provided on the bottom surface of the entrance gate 3 in parallel with the traveling direction of the bicycle or the like. The width of the groove 14a in this embodiment was set to about 50 mm. The sensor 14b is connected to the entrance gate 3 as shown in FIG.
Near the entrance and inside the groove 14a so as to detect the entry of the tire into the groove 14a. With this configuration, when a motorcycle passes through the entrance gate 3, the tire does not enter the groove 14a and the sensor 14b does not detect anything. On the other hand, in the case of a bicycle, the tire is
To enter 4a, sensor 14b detects passage. Therefore, when the sensor 14b detects passage, it can be determined as a bicycle, and when the sensor 14b does not detect anything, it can be determined as a bicycle. Since the device for discriminating a bicycle or a motorcycle according to the present embodiment has a simple structure as described above, it is possible to efficiently generate profits by investing in low-cost equipment costs.

Also, as shown in FIG.
To be able to accept the currency or alternative currency (meaning the coin dedicated to the bicycle parking lot previously issued) from the currency slot, detect the type and number of the currency or alternative currency, and calculate the amount paid by the user And

A detecting device 18 for detecting passage of a bicycle or the like through the entrance gate 3 is provided near the exit of the entrance gate 3 to detect completion of entry of the bicycle or the like to the bicycle parking lot.

Further, a card reader 16 for reading data recorded on a predetermined card when a user sets the card is provided. The card reader 16 is placed in a predetermined box-shaped container, and when a card carried by a user of the bicycle parking gate 1 is set, data recorded on the card is read. The data recorded on such a card corresponds to, for example, a member number, a contract period, a contract object (for a bicycle or a motorcycle), the number of times of use, and the like. Since the card reader 16 is provided, even if a commuter pass or coupon is issued to a user who regularly uses the bicycle parking lot, the use of the commuter pass or the like as a card promotes unmanned bicycle parking. Can be. Note that this card is not limited to a magnetic card, and for example, a non-contact card, a stripe card, a punch card, a ticket, and the like can be applied.

Is determined, and as a result, if it is determined that the door 12 is to be opened,
At the same time, a signal for rotating the rotary shaft 7 by 90 ° to the rotary gate opening / closing device 9 or a signal for unlocking the rotary shaft 7 to the rotary gate lock device 9 ′. Is output. The criterion is that the set card is valid and that the discrimination result of the bicycle or motorcycle matches the contract object (bicycle or motorcycle) of the data recorded on the card, Even if is not set, it is determined that the door 12 is to be opened if there is a remaining bicycle parking space based on the number of bicycles parked for the bicycle or the like as a result of the determination and the stored amount is commensurate with it. At this time, a lamp 17 is provided to display the result of the judgment by the door opening / closing control unit 15 as to whether or not to open the door 12 and the reason for refusal such as the expiration of the card or the fullness of the card, so that the user can visually recognize it. Next, the door opening / closing control unit 15 uses the detection device 18 installed near the exit of the entrance gate 3 to exit the entrance gate 3 of a bicycle or the like,
That is, when entry to a bicycle parking lot is detected, or when entry of a bicycle or the like is not detected, a signal for closing the door 12 is output to the opening and closing device 13 when a predetermined time has elapsed. Further, when the sensors A and B detect the entry of the user into the bicycle parking lot, or when a predetermined time has elapsed, a signal for locking the rotary shaft 7 is output to the rotary gate lock device 9 '. The predetermined time is counted by a built-in timer. Further, the number of bicycles parked for each bicycle and motorcycle, which is the judgment material, is determined by the door 1
2 can be obtained based on the number of times of opening and closing for each bicycle and motorcycle, and the number of times of opening and closing for each bicycle and motorcycle by the door opening and closing control unit 25 that controls the opening and closing of the door 20 of the exit gate 4 described later.

(3) Exit Gate The exit gate 4 is adjacent to the left side of the rotary gate 2 when viewed from the outside of the bicycle parking lot (same as the front view in FIG. 1), and is partitioned by a wall or the like of the bicycle parking lot and a partition member 5. , Bicycles and motorcycles. The exit gate 4 has the door 20 and the opening / closing device 2 in the same manner as the entrance gate 3 described above.

Further, similarly to the entrance gate 3, the door 20
A door opening / closing control unit 25 for controlling the opening / closing of the door is provided (see FIG. 2). The door opening / closing control unit 25 is configured to control the door 20 based on the output signals of the input discrimination result by the discrimination device 22, the data read by the card reader 23, and the charge storage amount by the charge storage unit 24. Is opened and closed, and as a result, when it is determined that the door 20 is opened, a signal for opening the door 20 is output to the opening / closing device 21. Here, as a criterion for opening the door 20 of the door opening / closing control unit 25,
From the data read by the card reader 23, the read data indicating whether the accepted card is valid and the object of the contract is a bicycle or a motorcycle, and the discriminating device 22
If the result of the discrimination is the same as that of a bicycle or motorcycle, and for temporary users who enter in cash without a regular card, a card that proves bicycle parking issued at the time of entry is valid. Yes, and if the read data of whether the card is a bicycle or a motorcycle matches the result of the determination of whether the card is a bicycle or a motorcycle by the determination device 22, and if the card is over the bicycle parking period, the fee becomes insufficient. At this time, it is determined that the door 20 is opened when the charge storage amount of the charge storage unit 24 matches the shortage amount. At this time, a lamp 26 is provided to display a result of the determination by the door opening / closing control section 25 as to whether or not to open the door 20, so that the user can visually recognize the lamp.

Further, at the same time as outputting the signal for opening the door 20, the door opening / closing control section 25 sends a signal for rotating the rotating shaft 7 by 90 ° to the rotating gate opening / closing device 9 or a rotating shaft for the rotating gate lock device 9 '. 7 to output a signal for releasing the lock, thereby enabling the user to leave. Next, the door opening / closing control unit 25 uses the detection device 27 installed near the exit of the exit gate 4 to exit the exit gate 4 such as a bicycle,
That is, when the exit from the bicycle parking lot is detected, or when the exit of a bicycle or the like is not detected, after a predetermined time has elapsed,
A signal for closing the door 20 is output to the opening / closing device 21, and when the leaving of the user is detected by the sensor D or when a predetermined time has elapsed, the rotating gate lock device 9 '
And a signal for locking the rotation of the rotating shaft 7 is output. With this function, unauthorized exit is prevented. This predetermined time is also counted by a built-in timer as in the case of the entrance gate 3. The door opening and closing control unit 25;

Although 5 is schematically shown as a separate device in FIG. 2 for the sake of convenience of description, in general, an integrated control device can be provided by using a PLC or the like.

(4) Bicycle parking method, etc. A user who parks a bicycle or a motorcycle advances the bicycle or the like to the entrance gate 3 while getting down from the bicycle or the like and going to the entrance space of the rotating gate 2. At this time, when the bicycle is parked, the front wheel of the bicycle is put into the groove 14a of the entrance gate 3. Here, a user who has a card such as a commuter pass sets the card in the card reader 16 provided at the entrance gate 3, and a temporary user who does not have a card charges a prescribed fee or alternative coins purchased at a prescribed fee. It is put into the storage unit 19. In this state, the door opening / closing control unit 15 determines as described above, and at the same time when the door 12 is opened, the rotation shaft 7 of the rotation gate 2 is driven or the lock of the rotation shaft 7 is released. Can enter a bicycle parking lot while pushing a bicycle or the like. At this time, a card or the like proving that the prescribed fee has been paid is received. In the case of a temporary user who does not have a regular card, besides the above-mentioned method, there is also a method of issuing a card at a specified fee and setting it in the card reader 16 so that the card can be entered. The storage section 19 becomes unnecessary.

On the other hand, a user who leaves the bicycle parking lot advances a bicycle or the like to the exit gate 4 while similarly proceeding to the exit space of the rotary gate 2. At this time, in the case of a bicycle, the front wheel is put into the groove 22a of the exit gate 4. Also here, the user holding the card sets the card in the card reader 23 provided at the exit gate 4 as in the case of entry. A temporary user who does not have a card sets a card proving payment in the card reader 23 and, if there is a shortage of charges due to an excess of a bicycle parking period or the like, inputs the shortage into the charge storage unit 24. As described above, since the door 20 and the revolving gate 2 are opened by such an act, the user can leave the bicycle parking lot while pushing a bicycle or the like. As described above, since the entrance and exit of the user to the bicycle parking lot are all controlled by the bicycle parking gate 1, the bicycle parking area is unmanned.

In the case of the bicycle parking gate 1, because of its structure, the entrance gate 3 has only a space through which only bicycles and the like can pass, and the adjacent revolving gate 2 can also move only in a certain direction (in a direction that allows entrance from outside). Because it cannot rotate, it is difficult to carry out bicycles and the like from the entrance gate 3 even if only the user goes out of the bicycle parking lot and activates the entrance gate 3 to open the door as in the conventional bicycle parking gate. Unauthorized acts such as non-payment of fees can be prevented. Further, since the doors 12 and 20 provided at the entrance gate 3 and the exit gate 4 need only be able to control a bicycle or the like, the size and weight can be reduced. A simple and inexpensive automatic opening and closing device can be provided as compared with the opening and closing device.

When only a person who has contracted in advance uses the bicycle parking lot, if a card such as a commuter pass is issued, the toll storage unit 24 provided at the exit gate 4 of the bicycle parking gate 1 of the present embodiment can be used. Not required. Also, the mechanism for automatically opening and closing the door is not provided at both the entrance gate 3 and the exit gate 4 as in the present embodiment, but by providing it at either one, the purpose of automation and elimination of wrongdoing is achieved. However, it is desirable to provide both at the entrance gate 3 and at the exit gate 4 as in the present embodiment, in order to ensure unmanned operation and elimination of wrongdoing.
