2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are two-stage parking devices for bicycles that include a lower parking space and an upper parking space. In the parking apparatus, it is possible to park the bicycle in two upper and lower stages. However, in the case of a bicycle, since it is relatively lightweight, it can be parked with such a device. However, in the case of a motorbike or a motorcycle, parking with such a parking device is impossible. That is, the weight of the vehicle body is as large as 50 to 600 kg, and there is a problem that if the motorbike or motorcycle falls, the vehicle body is damaged or fuel leaks.
[0003]
In view of this, conventionally, it has been considered that a grip capturing portion 7 is provided at the top of the standing support member 6 to lock and capture the handle grip G at the tip of the motorcycle handle H to support the motorcycle. More specifically, the support member 6 erected so that the inclination angle can be adjusted is substantially ring-shaped or the like bent at the top of the support member 6 so that it can be conveniently engaged with the handlebar grip G of the motorcycle. This is a parking device for a two-wheeled vehicle in which a catching tool 72 having a shape and an operation grip 71 for making the catching tool 72 catch the handle grip G are rotatably provided to the support member 6 (see FIG. 5, FIG. 6). In some cases, the support member 6 is mounted on a carriage that is movably provided on a rail. In addition to the substantially ring-shaped capturing tool 72, the capturing tool includes a shape that can hold the handle grip G.
[0004]
Basically, holding the operation grip 71 in the grip capturing part 7 with the left hand and supporting the two-wheeled vehicle with the right hand, the handle grip G at the tip of the left bike handle H is locked to the capturing tool 72, and the two-wheeled vehicle is The support member 6 is held and parked. More specifically, in order to align the capture tool 72 and the handle grip G, the operation grip 71 is manipulated to adjust the inclination angle of the support member 6 or the capture tool 72 is rotated. As a result, the handle grip G can be captured without being unnatural and can be held without standing the stand of the motorcycle. In general, in a two-wheeled vehicle, the key can be locked at the front wheel when the handle is bent to the left. On the other hand, when the motorcycle is taken out from the parking state, an operation opposite to that at the time of parking is performed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Certainly, the two-wheeled vehicle is supported only by the front wheel portion by the support member 6 and does not fall down, and the parking operation can be performed simply by hooking the handle grip G onto the catching tool 72, and almost no force is required. It has the features that many motorcycles can be parked in a limited space in an orderly manner and the installation cost is low. However, since parking and unloading operations only cause the handle grip G to be captured or taken out by the capturing tool 72, this can be performed by anyone other than the owner of the bicycle, that is, there is a risk of theft.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a parking device for a two-wheeled vehicle in which only a bicycle owner can perform a leaving operation. In addition, due to a problem in the management of the parking lot, the parking lot manager may be included in addition to the owner of the bicycle as a person who can perform the leaving operation.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the above-described parking device, if the operation grip 71 is manipulated to adjust the inclination angle of the support member 6 or the rotation of the capture tool 72 is not adjusted, the capture tool 72 and the handle grip G cannot be aligned properly. There is a characteristic that the handle grip G cannot be inserted into the capturing tool 72. Therefore, the present inventor says that it is very difficult to take out the handle grip G from the catching tool 72 if the catch tool 72 is locked so as not to move after the handle grip G is inserted into the catching tool 72. Obtained knowledge.
[0008]
In view of the above, the present invention provides a handle grip capturing tool formed on a support member that is erected so that the inclination angle can be adjusted, and that can be conveniently engaged with a handle grip of a two-wheeled vehicle. And a locking mechanism for locking and unlocking the rotational movement of the capturing tool is provided between the support member and the capturing tool. The locking mechanism is a ratchet on the capturing tool side. The parking device for a two-wheeled vehicle is characterized by comprising a gear and a claw portion on the side of the support member that meshes with the ratchet gear, and a solenoid is attached to the claw portion .
[0009]
Further, in claim 2, according to claim 1, the capturing tool has a substantially annular shape.
[0010]
Further, in claim 3, according to claim 1, the capturing tool has a shape that can hold the handle grip.
[0011]
Further, in claim 4, according to claim 1, the solenoid is wired to the card reader .
[0012]
[Action]
Now, a handle grip catching device formed so as to be able to conveniently engage with the handle grip of the two-wheel vehicle is mounted on the upper portion of the support member erected so that the inclination angle can be adjusted. Since it is provided so as to be pivotable, the trapping tool and the handle grip are aligned by adjusting the tilt angle of the support member or by rotating the catching tool to cause the catching tool to capture the handle grip. Since the two-wheeled vehicle entrusts its weight to the support member, the catcher and the handle grip act to tighten each other. For this reason, in order to take out the handle grip from the catching tool, remove the weight of the two-wheeled vehicle hanging on the support member by raising the two-wheeled vehicle, and do not bring it so that the axes of the catching tool and the handle grip are almost aligned. must not.
[0013]
Based on the above principle, when the catcher and the handle grip act so as to tighten each other, an adjustable catcher is provided between the support member and the catcher, and the lock mechanism for fixing and releasing the catcher is provided. If the locking mechanism is fixed, the catcher cannot be released unless the locking mechanism is unlocked. Thus, the lock mechanism cannot be locked or unlocked by anyone other than the owner of the motorcycle or the manager of the parking lot. Since the locking mechanism is composed of the ratchet gear of the catching tool and the claw portion on the support member meshing with the ratchet gear, the tilt angle of the support member is adjusted and the catching tool is rotated. This direction is used when the catching tool and the handle grip are aligned, the catching tool is caught by the catching tool, and the weight of the two-wheeled vehicle is deposited on the support member so that the catching tool and the handle grip are tightened together. Although the ratchet gear rotates due to the action of the claw, reverse rotation is impossible, so removing the handlebar grip from the catcher removes the weight of the two-wheeled vehicle hanging on the support member from the two-wheeled vehicle Even if you try to bring the catcher and handle grip so that their axes almost coincide, you will not be able to perform this operation. . In order to do this, the claw portion cannot be removed from the ratchet gear, and the ratchet gear can be freely rotated, that is, it cannot be performed other than unlocking the lock mechanism. Furthermore, since the solenoid is attached to the claw portion, the locking or unlocking of the lock mechanism can be controlled by the operation of the solenoid. This means that control is possible depending on whether or not the solenoid is energized .
[0014]
In claim 2, since the catching tool is assumed to have a substantially annular shape, the handle grip is inserted into the substantially annular catching tool so that the two-wheeled vehicle is deposited on the support member. Locks or unlocks.
[0015]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the capturing tool has a shape that can sandwich the handle grip, the two-wheeled vehicle is deposited on the support member by operating the capturing tool to sandwich the handle grip. Locks or unlocks this state.
[0016]
Since the solenoid is wired to the card reader in claim 4, the owner of the two-wheeled vehicle or the manager of the parking lot can control the locking or unlocking of the locking mechanism by the card. Conversely, the lock mechanism cannot be unlocked by anyone other than this.
[0017]
【Example】
Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.
[0018]
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. The installation structure of the support member 6 will be described with reference to FIG. A bearing 63 having a U-shaped cross section is attached to the floor surface with an anchor bolt, and a pipe-like auxiliary support rod 60 is slid on the main support rod 61 so as to slide in the length direction of the main support rod 61. The lower portion of the support rod 61 is bent into a substantially L-shape to form a rotation shaft 62. The rotation shaft 62 is attached to a bearing 63, and the main support rod 61 is pivotally mounted. An attachment member 64 is provided on the top of the support member 6. The grip catching portion 7 has one end portion of the pipe-like main attachment rod 2 attached to the side surface portion of the attachment member 64, and the sub attachment rod 20 is attached to the other end portion of the main attachment rod 2 in the length direction of the main attachment rod 2. The catching tool 72 and the operation grip 71 are attached to the projecting portion of the auxiliary mounting rod 20 via a handle 70. The catcher 72 has a substantially square frame shape and is bent so that it can be conveniently engaged with the cylindrical handle grip G of the bike handle H. The support member 6 is swingable with respect to the bearing 63 at the rotation shaft 62 portion, the sub-support rod 60 is slidable and rotatable with respect to the main support rod 61, and the sub-mounting rod 20 is the main mounting rod 2. Is slidably and pivotably engaged with respect to. In short, a grip capturing part 7 for locking and capturing the handle grip G of the two-wheeled vehicle and supporting the two-wheeled vehicle is provided at one end of the support member 6 to constitute a parking device for the two-wheeled vehicle. In addition, since the stop pin 65 is attached to the rotating shaft 62 which is a lateral part of the main support rod 61 so that the main support rod 61 is in a horizontal position with the main support rod 61 standing vertically, as shown in FIG. When the support member 6 is tilted down, it can no longer be tilted when the stop pin 65 hits the floor surface.
[0019]
Next, the main attachment rod 2 of the grip capturing portion 7 is attached through the attachment member 64, and is attached to the other end portion of the sub attachment rod 20 that is rotatably provided inside the main attachment rod 2. The semicircular ratchet gear 1 is fixed. On the other hand, a rotating plate 3 having a claw portion 30 at its distal end is inserted into a bearing of a casing (not shown) with a rotating shaft 31 provided at the other end. The claw portion 30 faces the tooth portion 10 of the ratchet gear 1. A traction part 32 protrudes from the rotation shaft 31 at a position slightly behind the rotation shaft 31 by the claw part 30, and the traction part 32 is connected to the operating rod 41 of the solenoid 4 via the traction rod 42. It is pivotally connected. The solenoid 4 includes a coil 40 and a lead wire 43 is drawn out to the outside. The solenoid 4 is placed in a casing 5 attached to the auxiliary support rod 60. Reference numeral 33 denotes a spring for constantly urging the rotating plate 3 in the direction of the ratchet carrier 1 so that the claw portion 30 at the tip of the rotating plate 3 meshes with the tooth portion 10 of the ratchet gear 1. . The lead wire 43 is wired to a power source and a switch (not shown).
[0020]
Now, while holding the operation grip 71, the sub support rod 60 is slid in the length direction of the main support rod 61, the sub support rod 60 is rotated with respect to the main support rod 61, and the attachment member 64 is the center. The handle grip G on the left side of the two-wheeled vehicle is inserted into the capturing tool 72 while the capturing tool 72 is rotated to adjust the position and posture of the capturing tool 72 so that the two-wheeled vehicle is held on the support member 6. To. Thus, the handle grip G can be captured in an unnatural state, and the two-wheeled vehicle can be held without standing the stand. In the present embodiment, the support member 6 is configured not to swing beyond a certain angle by the stop pin 65.
[0021]
When the solenoid 4 is energized prior to this operation, the operating rod 41 is pulled, pulling the rotating plate 3 backward against the force of the spring 33, and the claw portion 30 is disengaged from the tooth portion 10 of the ratchet gear 1. As a result, The sub-mounting rod 20 is unlocked and freely rotatable. As a result, the position and posture of the capturing tool 72 can be adjusted with the operation grip 71. When the handle grip G has been inserted into the catching tool 72, when the energization of the solenoid 4 is stopped, the claw portion 30 is engaged with the tooth portion 10 of the ratchet gear 1 by the force of the spring 33, and thereafter the rotation of the ratchet gear 1 is continued. Is limited to one direction. In this embodiment, this state is assumed to be a locked state of the ratchet gear 1 that is a part of the lock mechanism. Since the rotation of the ratchet gear 1 is limited to one direction, after the handle grip G is inserted into the catching tool 72, if the catching tool 72 is further twisted in the direction in which the ratchet gear 1 can rotate, the catching tool 72 and the handle grip G can be tightened together. In this direction, the ratchet gear 1 is rotated by the action of the claw portion 30 but cannot be rotated in the reverse direction. Therefore, when the handle grip G is taken out from the catching tool 72, the two-wheeled vehicle is raised and hooked on the support member 6. Even if the weight of the two-wheeled vehicle is removed and the catching tool 72 and the handle grip G are brought so that their axes substantially coincide with each other, this operation cannot be performed. Thus, in order to do this, the solenoid 4 must be energized again to remove the claw 30 from the ratchet gear 1, that is, this cannot be done other than unlocking the locking mechanism.
[0022]
The switch for energizing the solenoid 4 may be determined by the owner of the two-wheeled vehicle or the manager of the parking lot. As the switch, for example, a card reader or the like can be used. The card in this case corresponds to a key that only the owner or the parking lot manager can have.
