DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a locker (hereinafter referred to as “locker”) of a parked vehicle according to the present invention.
[0014]
The locking machine 10 includes a locking plate 20 that stands up outside one end of the vehicle that has entered the parking space and locks the vehicle, a locked state in which the locking plate 20 is raised, and an unlocked state that is lying down. And a locking machine body 30 having a built-in drive mechanism (not shown) for driving the state.
[0015]
The lock machine main body 30 includes a main body case 32 in which a drive mechanism of the lock plate 20 is accommodated, and a main body cover 34 fastened to the main body case 32 by a fastening member such as a bolt so as to cover an opening of the main body case 32. , Including. A shaft (not shown) that is rotationally driven by the drive mechanism protrudes from both side surfaces of the main body case 32.
[0016]
The locking plate 20 is formed in a substantially U shape, and is coupled to shafts protruding from both side surfaces of the locking machine body 30 so as to stand up or lie down with both base ends 20a as fulcrums. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the locking plate 20 is divided into two parts on a surface 20b (hereinafter referred to as “joining surface”) that is substantially at the center of the straight line connecting both base ends 20a and substantially perpendicular to the straight line. Configured to be able to. That is, the locking plate 20 is configured to be divided in a linear direction connecting both the base end portions 20a. The coupling surface 20b of the locking plate 20 is formed to be substantially smooth, and after the two coupling surfaces 20b are brought into contact with each other, the coupling surface 20b is coupled by a fastening member 22 including a bolt and a nut. In addition, each coupling surface 20b of the two-part lock plate 20 is formed with a convex portion and a concave portion that fit each other, and after fitting the convex portion and the concave portion, a pin as a fastening member is used. You may make it pin-couple.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 3, a fastening member that joins the two divided locking plates 20 to the back surface of the locking plate 20, that is, the surface facing the road surface when the locking plate 20 is unlocked. A cover 24 that covers 22 is attached. The cover 24 is composed of two substantially rectangular plate members 24A and 24B, and one end of each is fastened to the locking plate 20 in a cantilevered manner by a fastening member 26 such as a flat head screw. Note that the cover 24 may be constituted by a single plate member and fastened to one of the two divided locking plates 20 at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction. Further, on the outer surface of the cover 24, a reflector (not shown) such as a reflecting mirror is used to alert the driver, pedestrian, etc. of the vehicle when the locking plate 20 stands in a locked state. It is desirable to install. In this way, at night, the reflector emits light by lights such as headlights, and it is possible to notify the vehicle driver and the like that there is something there.
[0018]
When the cover 24 is attached to the back surface of the locking plate 20, the cover 24 must be removed in order to loosen a bolt as an example of the fastening member 22 when the locking plate 20 is divided into two parts to be replaced. In order to reduce this effort, the following measures are taken.
[0019]
That is, as the fastening member 22 that couples the locking plate 20, a hexagon socket head cap screw having a high strength and a small outer diameter of the head with respect to the nominal diameter of the screw is generally used.
However, as shown in FIGS. 4 (A) and 4 (C), the locking plate 20 has side walls and ribs that improve its strength. For this purpose, tools other than the normal (L-shaped) hexagon stick spanner cannot be used. Therefore, when tightening and loosening the hexagon socket head bolt, the rotation angle of the hexagon socket head spanner is 180 degrees or less due to the relationship with the back wall of the locking plate 20, and the hexagon socket head spanner is inserted many times into the hexagon socket head bolt. Replacement work is required, and work efficiency is extremely poor.
[0020]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a hole 20 c and a notch 20 d are formed on one side surface and the rib of the locking plate 20 so as to face the bolt, and penetrate the substantially extended line of the hexagon socket head bolt shaft. If it does in this way, when loosening a hexagon socket head bolt, a hexagon socket head bolt can be rotated without removing cover 24, and the effort required for exchange of lock plate 20 can be reduced.
[0021]
Also, a pneumatic or electric power tool equipped with a hexagonal bar tool is used by inserting the tip of the tool into the hexagonal socket bolt from the outside of the side surface of the locking plate 20 through the hole 20c and the notch 20d. Therefore, the labor required for the fastening and loosening operations is greatly reduced, and a significant improvement in work efficiency can be achieved. On the other hand, even when the fastening and loosening operations are manually performed from the outside of one side surface of the locking plate 20, compared with the case where the side surface and rib of the locking plate 20 do not have the hole 20c and the notch 20d, The hexagonal bar spanner is not required to be replaced many times, so that the work effort is greatly reduced and the work efficiency is remarkably improved.
[0022]
Furthermore, since the head of the hexagon socket head cap screw is located at the substantially central portion of the lock plate 20, the hexagon socket head spanner of a normal length has a hexagon socket head bolt from the hole 20 c formed on one side of the lock plate 20. Since it does not reach the head of the head, the tampering with the hexagon socket head bolt by a third party is also suppressed by the synergistic action with the cover 24 that covers the hexagon socket head bolt.
[0023]
The coupling form of the locking plate 20 and the shaft protruding from the locking machine body 30 is configured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, both end portions of the shaft protruding from both side surfaces of the locking machine body 30 have a square cross section having a rounded corner shape (hereinafter referred to as “rounded square”). A convex portion 36 is formed. On the other hand, both base end portions 20a of the locking plate 20 are formed with rounded square-shaped fitting holes (concave portions) 20e into which the convex portions 36 of the shaft are fitted, as shown in FIG. . And the coupling | bonding of both is performed by fitting the convex part 36 of a shaft in the fitting hole 20e of the locking plate 20. FIG. A fitting hole (concave portion) may be formed in the end portion of the shaft, and a convex portion having a round cross section of a rounded square shape may be formed in the base end portion 20a of the locking plate 20. Moreover, the coupling between the locking plate 20 and the shaft may be spline coupling. If it does in this way, the coupling | bonding of the locking plate 20 and a shaft will be completed only by fitting a convex part and a recessed part. In short, the locking plate 20 and the shaft only need to be configured so that the protrusions and the recesses that can be engaged with each other are fitted together.
[0024]
Next, the replacement | exchange operation | work of the locking plate 20 in the locking machine 10 which consists of this structure is demonstrated.
A tool is inserted from a hole 20c formed in the side surface of the locking plate 20, and the head of the tool is engaged with a bolt through a notch 20d formed in a rib. In this state, the tool is rotated to loosen the bolt, and the coupling of the two divided locking plates 20 is released. Then, since the cover 24 attached to the back surface of the lock plate 20 is configured to be separable, the lock plate 20 is separated while the plate members 24A and 24B constituting the cover 24 remain cantilevered. At this time, since the base end portion 20a of the locking plate 20 and the shaft are connected by the fitting of the convex portion and the concave portion, the locking plate 20 and the shaft are joined together with the separation of the locking plate 20. Is also released. Then, after fitting the fitting hole 20e of the lock plate 20 to be replaced to the convex portion 36 of the shaft to couple them together, the lock surface 20b of the lock plate 20 is brought into contact with each other, A bolt and a tool are inserted from the hole 20c on the side surface of the plate 20, and the locking plate 20 is coupled by rotating the tool. At this time, if the cover 24 and the nut are previously attached to the back surface of the two divided lock plates 20, the replacement of the lock plate 20 is completed at that time.
[0025]
Therefore, when exchanging the locking plate 20 as in the prior art, the labor-intensive operation of extracting the shaft can be omitted, and the operation relating to the replacement of the locking plate 20 can be facilitated.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, unlike the prior art, it is not necessary to insert and remove the shaft that couples the locking plate to the drive mechanism, and the labor required for replacing the locking plate is reduced. Replacement of the lock plate can be facilitated.
[0027]
According to invention of Claim 2, a locking plate can be firmly couple | bonded by a fastening member.
According to the third aspect of the invention, it is possible to improve the appearance when the locking plate stands up and to prevent mischief to the fastening member.
[0028]
According to invention of Claim 4 or Claim 5, a locking plate can be couple | bonded or isolate | separated with attaching a cover, and reduction of an effort can be aimed at.
According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the labor required for work can be reduced when the locking plates are joined or separated, and tampering with the fastening member is suppressed.
[0029]
