Description

The present invention relates to a bicycle parking machine for parking a bicycle, and more particularly, to a bicycle parking machine capable of greatly reducing the parking space of a bicycle by parking the bicycle upside down by a simple and easy one-touch operation.

Conventionally, bicycle parking lots for bicycles were simply arranged on a flat ground or floor, and in this case, the interval between bicycles, for example, the width of 600 mm per vehicle and the length of the bicycle were multiplied. Area is required. Normally, if you park your bicycle so that you can line up the bicycle on the ground or floor, you will park without any room for natural standing, and it will be extremely difficult to get out of the bicycle that you entered earlier. Inconvenient.

In addition, in order to save the parking space, a bicycle parking lot is proposed in which a slope for climbing the front wheel of the bicycle is provided as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-320972 so that the front wheel of the bicycle can be raised and parked. Has been. Even in this case, the interval between the bicycles requires an area obtained by multiplying the width of 600 mm by a length of 1550 mm, which is shorter than the length of the bicycle.

Further, according to the two-stage bicycle parking machine described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-154466, in order to park on the upper stage, an occupation area for placing the upper stage on the front of the bicycle parking machine is required. At the same time, in order to park at the upper stage, the bicycle must be lifted, which is very troublesome and powerful for the elderly and women.

As described above, the conventional bicycle parking lot requires a considerably large area, and depending on the type of bicycle parking, the work is quite powerful. Therefore, a bicycle parking machine that can easily park even a weak person such as an elderly person, a woman, or a child and that can park in a small area is desired.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and by inverting and parking a bicycle with a simple and easy operation, the parking space can be reduced and the inverted parking can be performed with a little force. The purpose is to provide a bicycle parking machine that can be used.

The present invention relates to a bicycle parking machine for parking a bicycle, and more particularly, to a bicycle parking machine capable of greatly reducing the parking space of a bicycle by parking the bicycle upside down by a simple and easy one-touch operation. A sliding frame consisting of a disc-shaped sliding frame head united with a sliding frame leg unit is attached to a base frame unit fixed to the ground or floor surface, and the sliding frame is coaxial with the sliding frame head unit. A semi-disc-shaped rotatable cap portion that is larger than the head portion is attached so as to cover the sliding frame head portion, and an extension spring is provided between the base frame portion and the sliding frame, and the base frame portion and the cap portion. A compression spring is mounted between them, the sliding frame can be slid up and down by the urging force of those springs, and a gripping part is installed at the center of the outer periphery of the cap part.

The height is 1000 mm, and the area is 0.60 m ² , which is much larger than the width (handle width) of 600 mm in the case of flat parking and the area of 0.99 m ^{2 in} the case of a bicycle length of 1650 mm. The wheel space can be reduced.
In addition, a spring is built in between the base frame and the sliding frame of the inverted bicycle parking machine, and the bicycle is inverted by the elasticity of the spring. You can park at

In addition, when parking a large number of bicycles, when arranging the bicycles in parallel, there is an advantage that the handle widths can be overlapped by shifting the arrangement angles obliquely by 30 ° to 45 °, and the width ( handle width) 600 mm is 400mm and length (height of the bicycle) 1000 mm, and the with the area can reduce the 0.40 m ^2, and the further bicycle space, when bicycle Receipt (inverted bicycle operation) and during unloading During the (separation operation), the bicycle does not come into contact with the next bicycle because it moves down, rises, and rotates.

Even bicycle parking was parked without room for said as Rissui by parked in the inverted bicycle machines, 0.40 m of less than half the footprint 0.99 m ² per one normal plane parked ^{Since the} bicycle can be parked in the area of ² , there is an advantage that a passage can be secured in the same area as the same number of bicycles parked without any room for standing pits, and individual bicycles can be freely taken in and out.

The best mode of an inverted bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing an initial state of an inverted bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing an inverted state. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an inverted bicycle parking machine. The inverted bicycle parking machine 1 is a front wheel guide 2 for guiding a front wheel of a bicycle to be parked, a base frame portion 3 that forms the basis, and a base frame portion 3 that fits and slides. A sliding frame 4 comprising a disc-shaped sliding frame head 4B integrated with a movable sliding frame leg 4A, and is rotatable coaxially with the sliding frame head 4B, and the sliding frame head It comprises a semi-disc-shaped cap part 5 attached so as to cover the part 4B, and a grip part 5A fixed to the approximate center of the outer periphery of the cap part 5.

The base frame portion 3 has a substantially L-shaped side surface and is eccentric to the side of the front wheel guide 2 so that the bicycle does not contact the sliding frame 4 or the cap portion 5 when the bicycle is parked (see FIG. 4B), fixed to the front wheel guide 2 by welding or bolts, and fixed to the ground or floor.

The sliding frame 4 includes a sliding frame leg portion 4A and a disk-shaped sliding frame head portion 4B. The sliding frame leg portion 4A is slidably fitted to the base frame portion 3 as described above, and the sliding frame is provided. A semi-disc-shaped cap portion 5 is attached to the head portion 4B so as to be pivotable. An extension spring 6 is mounted between the sliding frame 4 and the L-shaped concave portion of the base frame portion 3 so that the sliding frame 4 can easily slide up and down by the extension spring 6. It is a thing. Between these base frame part 3 and the sliding frame 4, the slide bearing 7 is interposed by the upper end of the base frame part 3, and the sliding frame 4 lower part, and these can slide more smoothly. .

The cap portion 5 is attached so as to cover the sliding frame head portion 4B, and a compression spring 8 is mounted between the base frame portion 3 and the cap portion 5 via a groove on the outer periphery of the sliding frame head portion 4B. It is built. The compression spring 8 is accommodated in a groove 10 provided on the outer periphery of the sliding frame head 4B. A grip part 5A is integrally formed at the approximate center of the cap part 5, and a handshake part 5B is fixed to the tip thereof. The counterclockwise rotation of the cap portion 5 and the grip portion 5A can be easily rotated by the synergistic effect of the pulling force of the compression spring 8 and the upward biasing force of the extension spring 6. Further, a rotation bearing 7A is interposed between the outer periphery of the cap portion 5 and the outer periphery of the sliding frame head 4B, so that the rotation can be performed more smoothly. The cap 5 is rotated counterclockwise by the extension spring 6 and the compression spring 8, and the cap 5 and the sliding frame head 4B are in a state where the grip 5A and the handshake 5B are vertical.

In the figure, the cap portion 5 has a semi-disc shape, and a hollow hollow columnar gripping portion 5A is provided at the center of the outer periphery of the semi-disc-shaped cap portion 5, and a bicycle is placed in the inverted parking position when parking. In order not to contact the wheel set, the cap part 5 is fixedly formed with an inclined side (see FIG. 4B). A handshake part 5B for gripping a bicycle seat tube 19 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) is attached to the tip of the columnar grip part 5A. The shape of the portion of the handshake part 5B that grips the seat tube 19 may be slightly different in the thickness of the seat tube and the oblique angle of the seat tube depending on the bicycle, so that the difference can be accommodated. The gripping part is made with a large margin. In addition, depending on the bicycle, the height of the connection position between the seat tube 19 and the top tube 20 is often different, and depending on the connection position when parking, the handshake part 5B may not be able to grip the seat tube 19 in some cases. Therefore, at this time, the height adjusting pedal 17 is also used to change the height of the handshake part 5B, and when the bicycle is not grounded when the grip part 5A and the handshake part 5B are horizontal when the bicycle is detached. Since the height can be adjusted by depressing (see FIG. 4A), it can be used for all bicycles.
FIG. 3B is an enlarged view showing a link mechanism of the lock handle 13. FIGS. 3A and 3B are both views showing a state where the lock handle 13 is rotated to the right and locked. By rotating the lock handle 13 to the right, the support shaft A fixed to the lock handle 13, the stay B fixed to the support shaft A, and the connecting material C connecting the stay B and the rod 12 are interlocked. The rod 12 is shifted in the direction of the arrow in the figure by the connecting member C that rotates and moves freely, and the roller 11 comes out of the release pocket 21 and locks by entering the groove 10 of the sliding frame head 4B. . Further, when releasing the lock, the lock is naturally released at the same time as the roller 11 enters the release pocket 21.

The handshake part 5B is connected to the handshake part 5B inside the hollow columnar grip part 5A in order to grip and lock the bicycle seat tube 19 and release the seat tube 19. A rod 15 is attached, and a release spring 16 is provided so as to surround the rod 15. The rod 15 extends inside the hollow gripping portion 5A in the direction of the base end (cap portion 5) of the gripping portion 5A and is connected to the compression spring 14, and through the compression spring 14, the rod 15 12 is connected. A lock handle 13 is connected to the rod 12 via a link mechanism. The rod 12 extends as it is, passes through the cap portion 5, and is connected to the roller 11 at a portion in contact with the groove 10 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the sliding frame head 4B.

4 and 5, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state where the bicycle is gripped, FIG. 4A is a side view, and FIG. 4B is a plan view. FIG. 5 is a side view showing a state in which a bicycle is parked on an inverted bicycle. As shown in FIG. 4B, the grip portion 5A is attached to the cap portion 5 so as to be inclined to the side so that the bicycle does not contact the bicycle parking device, and a handshake portion 5B is provided at the tip. is there.

The case where a bicycle is parked on an inverted bicycle parking machine will be described with reference to FIG.
The bicycle to be parked is pushed along the front wheel guide 2 and when the seat tube 19 of the bicycle reaches the handshake part 5B, the seat tube 19 is pushed into the handshake part 5B, and the lock handle 13 is rotated. The bicycle is gripped and locked by the handshake part 5B. As shown in FIG. 3, this locking operation causes the roller 11 at the base end of the handshake part 5B to fit into the groove 10 provided along the outer peripheral inner surface of the sliding frame head part 4B, and the extension spring 6 and the compression spring 8 The lock is released, and the bicycle begins to rotate in the counterclockwise direction as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4A due to the synergistic effect of the upward biasing force of the extension spring 6 and the biasing force of the compression spring 8 pulling up. At this time, by applying a little human force, the ascending rotation can be performed more smoothly. In FIG. 1, when the bicycle is turned about 90 degrees counterclockwise, the lock key 18 (FIG. 1, 2) is provided between the cap portion 5 and the sliding frame head 4B so that it can be fixed upside down as shown in FIG. Complete.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a case where a bicycle parked upside down is removed will be described.
First, the lock key 18 is released from the above-mentioned locked state, and the bicycle applied to the handshake part 4B in the process of shifting the bicycle from the inverted state to the horizontal direction by lightly pulling down the bicycle with a saddle, a loading platform, etc. by human power. In association with an increase in the weight of the cap, the cap portion 5 and the grip portion 5B integrally formed with the grip portion 5A fixedly formed on the cap portion 5 are gradually turned clockwise as indicated by arrows in the figure. While rotating, the cap portion 5 and the gripping portion are combined by a synergistic effect of the pushing-down force of the wire 9 fitted with the base frame portion 3 upper end side in the compression spring 8 and the outer peripheral center portion of the cap portion 5 as the base points. The part 5A and the handshake part 5B rotate downward, and push down the sliding frame 4 composed of the integrally formed sliding frame leg part 4A and sliding frame head part 4B. By pushing down the sliding frame 4, the cap unit 5, the gripping unit 5A, and the handshake unit 5B are lowered while rotating 90 degrees, and the gripping unit 5A is in a state where the gripping unit 5A and the handshake unit 5B are horizontal. The pulling force of the release spring 16 of the handshake part 5B at the tip of the roller 11 causes the roller 11 connected through the holding part 5A to be disengaged from the groove 10 provided along the inner peripheral surface of the sliding frame head, thereby releasing the release pocket 21. (See FIG. 3A) As soon as the lock handle 13 is entered, the lock 11 is naturally released, and the roller 11 stops descending, rising, and rotating, and at the same time, the release spring 16 of the grip portion 5B at the tip of the grip portion 5A is released. The handshake part 5B is released by the effect, and the bicycle is completely detached.

Further, in the present invention, an extension spring or a compression spring is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. The use of a spring having such a function instead of these various springs is included in the present invention. Needless to say, for example, a motor or hydraulic pressure may be used.
