Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle tire stopper.

  FIG. 10 shows a typical vehicle tire stopper 90. The tire stopper 90 is made of a concrete block placed on the ground E such as a parking lot.

  The tire stopping device 90 abuts against a tire T in front of or behind the vehicle moving forward or backward on the ground E, and can limit further forward or backward movement of the vehicle. Thereby, in a parking lot, it can align, without making a vehicle collide with a wall etc. or another vehicle.

  However, the conventional tire stopping device 90 has a certain height in order to reliably limit the forward or backward movement of the vehicle, and easily disturbs when there is no vehicle.

  In this respect, it is also conceivable to employ a vehicle tire stopper disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-317235. 11A and 11B, the tire stopping device 95 swings into the block 96 around the horizontal axis O and a block 96 that is embedded in the ground E and defines a recess 96a that opens on the ground surface. It comprises a stopper member 97 that is pivotally supported and swings from a state flush with the ground E when the vehicle tire T is on.

  According to the tire stopping device 95, when the vehicle moves forward or backward on the ground E from the state shown in FIG. 11A to the state shown in FIG. The stopper member 97 can be swung, and the stopper member 97 can limit further forward or backward movement of the vehicle. Further, when there is no vehicle, the stopper member 97 is flush with the ground E, so that it does not get in the way.

  However, in the tire stopping device 95, the stopper member 97 that swings when the tire T is on the surface contacts the tire T to limit the forward or backward movement of the vehicle. For this reason, this tire stopper 95 is uneasy about its certainty.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and provides a vehicle tire stop device that can hardly restrict the forward or backward movement of a vehicle without being obstructed when there is no vehicle. Is a problem to be solved.

A vehicle tire stopper according to the present invention includes a pressing member that is pivotably supported on the ground around a horizontal first axis, and that swings when a vehicle tire rides;
A stopper member pivotally supported on the ground around a second axis parallel to the first axis and capable of stopping the progress of the tire by standing;
And a link mechanism for raising the stopper member by swinging the pressing member.

  In the vehicle tire stopper according to the present invention, when the tire rides on the pressing member as the vehicle moves forward or backward on the ground, the pressing member swings around the horizontal first axis. Then, the link mechanism raises the stopper member by swinging the pressing member. At this time, the stopper member swings around a second axis parallel to the first axis and stands up. For this reason, the progress of the tire is stopped by the standing stopper member. In this way, further forward or backward movement of the vehicle can be reliably restricted.

  In this tire stopping device, the stopper member does not stand up when the tire is not on the pressing member. For this reason, since this tire stopper can be lower than the conventional concrete block, it is difficult to get in the way.

  Therefore, this tire stopper is unlikely to get in the way when there is no vehicle, and can reliably limit the forward or backward movement of the vehicle.

  Two tire stopping devices may be used as one set for the left and right tires of the vehicle, or may be used as one for both tires.

  In the tire stopper according to the present invention, the link mechanism is pivotally supported on the ground so as to be swingable about a third axis parallel to the first axis and the second axis, and is engaged with the pressing member. Then, it can be a rotating member that erects the stopper member.

  In this case, when the tire rides on the pressing member, the rotating member engaged with the pressing member can raise the stopper member. Thus, this tire stopper can exert the effect of the present invention. This tire stopper has a simple configuration, has a small number of parts, and can realize a reduction in manufacturing cost.

  More specifically, the pressing member has a pressing claw that descends as the tire rides on the second axis side, and the rotating member is a pressed portion that descends when the pressing claw descends. And a rising portion that rises as the pressed portion descends, and the stopper member has a contact portion that rises as the rising portion rises and comes into contact with the tire. In this case, when the tire rides on the pressing member, the pressing claw of the pressing member descends, the pressed portion of the rotating member descends, and the rising portion of the rotating member rises. Thus, the lowering of the pressing claw of the pressing member can be converted into the rising of the rising portion of the rotating member. At this time, the rising distance of the rising portion can be selected according to the position of the third axis. And the contact part of a stopper member raises by the raise of the raising part of a rotation member. At this time, the rising distance of the contact portion can be increased by the distance between the rising portion of the rotating member and the second axis of the stopper member.

  As the pressing claw, a shape obtained by bending the pressing member, a shape having a protrusion, or the like can be adopted. It is preferable that the pressing claw is horizontal when the tire is not on. Since this tire stopper can secure a large descending distance of the pressing claw while reducing the height of the pressing member from the ground, it is unlikely to become an obstacle while causing the vehicle to stop.

Moreover, in the tire stopper of the present invention, the pressing member has a pressing claw that descends when the tire rides on the second axis side,
The link mechanism is pivotally supported on the ground so as to be swingable around a third axis parallel to the first axis and the second axis, and swings when the pressing claw is lowered, A first crank provided integrally with the rotating member, and a pivotally supported by the first crank around a fourth axis parallel to the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis. A rod that moves back and forth by the swing of the first crank,
The stopper member pivotally supports the rod in a swingable manner around a fifth axis parallel to the first axis, the second axis, the third axis, and the fourth axis. It can have a second crank that raises itself by advancing or retreating.

  In this case, when the tire rides on the pressing member, the pressing member swings, and the pressing claw of the pressing member descends. The rotating member of the link mechanism swings around the third axis as the pressing claw descends, the first crank swings around the third axis integrally with the rotating member, and the rod swings around the first crank. To move back and forth while swinging around the fourth axis. As a result, the second crank of the stopper member swings around the fifth axis, and the stopper member stands up. Thus, this tire stopper can exert the effect of the present invention. Although this tire stopper device has a slightly complicated structure, the distance between the first axis and the second axis can be made relatively large, and therefore it is suitable for a large vehicle.

  In the tire stopper according to the present invention, it is preferable that the stopper member swings in the same direction as the traveling direction of the tire and faces the tire. This stopper member swings in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of the tire and is more likely to exert a drag force on the tire than the stopper member facing the tire, and even if it is a small stopper member, it has the effect of stopping. It can be made more reliable.

  The tire stopper according to the present invention preferably includes a housing fixed to the ground, and the pressing member, the link mechanism, and the stopper member are provided in the housing. Since this tire stopper can accommodate the pressing member, the link mechanism, and the stopper member in the housing, it is easy to carry and handle.

  The tire stopper of the present invention can be used by being installed on the ground or embedded in the ground. When this tire stopper is installed on the ground, construction is easy like a conventional concrete block. Moreover, when this tire stopper is embedded in the ground, the depth is shallow and the construction is not so troublesome.

  In addition, the tire stopping device exhibits its function sufficiently even if it is not fixed to the ground, but it is more preferably fixed. If the tire stopper is fixed to the ground, the tire stopper can be prevented from being stolen, and the installation position is not changed, and a more stable function can be exhibited. In addition, a screw, a bolt, etc. are employable as a fixing means.

  The tire stopper according to the present invention preferably includes an urging member that causes the stopper member to fall down in a state where the tire does not rest on the pressing member. In this tire stopper, the stopper member does not remain standing in a state where the tire does not ride on the pressing member, so that it is difficult to get in the way. In addition, when the urging force of the urging member is superior when the tire rides on the pressing member, even if the pressing member has a smaller mass than the vehicle, such as a person, the stopper member is in a lying state. Therefore, the stopper member does not get in the way and is safe.

  As this urging member, a spring or the like provided between the ground or housing and the pressing member, rotating member, rod or stopper member can be employed.

  Embodiments 1 and 2 embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, two tire stopping devices 10 for a vehicle according to the first embodiment are used as one set. Each tire stopper 10 is fixed to the ground E with bolts (not shown) in a state where the tire stoppers 10 are separated by the same interval as the interval between the left and right tires T of the vehicle A.

  As shown in FIG. 2, each tire stopper 10 includes housings 12 and 14, a pressing member 16, a rotating member 18, and a stopper member 20. The housings 12 and 14 include a housing body 12 and a fixing plate 14. The pressing member 16, the rotating member 18, and the stopper member 20 have substantially the same width.

  The housing body 12 has side walls 12 a extending upward at both ends in the width direction wider than the width of the tire T. A first shaft hole 12b is provided in the both side walls 12a in front of the left side in the drawing so as to face each other, and a third shaft hole 12c is provided in the center so as to face each other. U-shaped notches 12d that open upward are provided so as to face each other, and a plurality of screw holes are provided around the notches 12d. The fixed plate 14 has a thicker plate shape than the housing body 12, and a shaft hole 14a is provided at a position closer to the center when viewed in the horizontal direction.

  The pressing member 16 has a U-shape when viewed in the horizontal direction, and includes a main body 16a extending in the width direction and ears 16b bent at right angles to the main body 16a from both ends in the width direction of the main body 16a. Both ear portions 16b are provided with shaft holes 16c aligned with the first shaft holes 12b.

  The rotating member 18 has a reverse shape when viewed in the horizontal direction, and includes a main body 18a extending in the width direction, and ears 18b bent at right angles to the main body 18a from both ends in the width direction of the main body 18a. . Both ear portions 18b are provided with shaft holes 18c aligned with the third shaft holes 12c.

  The stopper member 20 has a U-shape when viewed in the horizontal direction, and includes a main body 20a extending in the width direction and a shaft 20b provided integrally with the main body 20a and extending in the width direction. At both ends of the main body 20a, protrusions 20c for retaining are protruded in the width direction.

  By assembling the pressing member 16, the rotating member 18, the stopper member 20, and the housings 12 and 14, each tire stopping device 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is obtained. At this time, first, as shown in FIG. 2, a pin 22 having a head, a washer 23, a split pin 24, and a compression coil spring 25 are prepared. The compression coil spring 25 corresponds to an urging member.

  Then, the rotating member 18 is inserted into the housing body 12 so that both the shaft holes 18c of the both ears 18b are aligned with both the third shaft holes 12c of the housing body 12, and inside the both third shaft holes 12c and the shaft holes 18c. Then, the pin 22 is inserted, and the split pin 24 is fitted to the pin 22 through the washer 23. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the rotating member 18 is pivotally supported on the ground E so as to be swingable around the horizontal third axis O <b> 3 that is the center of the pin 22. Since the pins 22 on both sides are not continuous, the progress of the tire T is not disturbed. This rotating member 18 is a link mechanism.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing member 16 is inserted into the housing body 12 so that both the shaft holes 16c of both ear portions 16b are aligned with both the first shaft holes 12b of the housing body 12, and both the first shaft holes The pin 22 is inserted into the pin 12b and the shaft hole 16c from the inside, and the split pin 24 is fitted to the pin 22 through the washer 23. A compression coil spring 25 is provided between the main body 16 a of the pressing member 16 and the housing main body 12. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the pressing member 16 is also pivotally supported on the ground E around the horizontal first axis O <b> 1 that is the center of the pin 22. Also here, since the pins 22 on both sides are not continuous, the progress of the tire T is not disturbed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the shaft 20b of the stopper member 20 is fitted into the notch 12d of the housing body 12, the fixing plate 14 is fitted into the shaft hole 14a from both sides of the shaft 20b, and both the fixing plates 14 are connected from the outside. Each is integrated with both side walls 12 a by a plurality of screws 13. As a result, the stopper member 20 is also pivotally supported by the ground E around the horizontal second axis O2, which is the center of the shaft 20b, as shown in FIGS. The first to third axes O1 to O3 are parallel to each other.

  Each tire stopping device 10 obtained in this way has the pressing member 16, the rotating member 18, and the stopper member 20 housed in the housings 12 and 14, so that it can be easily carried and handled. Then, on the ground E such as a parking lot, the housings 12 and 14 are fixed to the ground E by bolts (not shown), and each tire stopper 10 is easily installed on the ground E. If the tire stopper 10 is fixed to the ground E in this manner, the tire stopper 10 can be prevented from being stolen, and the installation position is not changed, and a more stable function can be exhibited.

  In these tire stoppers 10, since the main body 16a is formed in a U shape when the main body 16a is viewed in the horizontal direction, the pressing member 16 is provided with the pressing claw 16d that descends when the tire T rides on the second axis. It will be on the O2 side. Further, since the main body 18a has a reverse shape when viewed in the horizontal direction, the rotating member 18 rises when the pressed portion 18d is lowered by the lowering of the pressing claw 16d and when the pressed portion 18d is lowered. And a start-up portion 18e. Furthermore, since the stopper member 20 has a U-shape when the main body 20a is viewed in the horizontal direction, the stopper member 20 rises as the rising portion 18e rises, and comes into contact with the tire T. It has a restricting portion 20e that is located on the opposite side of 20d and abuts against the bottom surface of the housing main body 12 and restricts the abutting portion 20d from further rising.

  Each tire stopper 10 configured as described above is useful when the vehicle A moves backward on the ground E, for example, as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tire T rides on the pressing member 16 in the traveling direction D, the pressing member 16 swings around the horizontal first axis O1. Then, the rotating member 18 raises the stopper member 20 by the swinging of the pressing member 16. That is, the pressing claw 16d of the pressing member 16 is lowered, the pressed portion 18d of the rotating member 18 is lowered, and the rising portion 18e of the rotating member 18 is raised. Thus, the lowering of the pressing claw 16d of the pressing member 16 can be converted into the rising of the rising portion 18e of the rotating member 18. At this time, the rising distance of the rising portion 18e can be selected according to the position of the third axis O3.

  As the rising portion 18e of the rotating member 18 rises, the stopper member 20 swings by θ (60) ° in the same direction as the traveling direction D of the tire T, and the contact portion 20d rises. That is, the stopper member 20 swings and stands up around the second axis O2. At this time, the rising distance of the contact portion 20d can be increased by the distance between the rising portion 18e of the rotating member 18 and the second axis O2 of the stopper member 20. Since the restricting portion 20e comes into contact with the bottom surface of the housing body 12 at the position where the contact portion 20d is most raised, the contact portion 20d is fixed at that position.

  Thus, in each tire stopper 10, the abutting portion 20 d of the standing stopper member 20 abuts on the tire T, and the progress of the tire T is stopped. Thus, further backward movement of the vehicle A can be surely limited. In particular, in these tire stoppers 10, since the stopper member 20 swings in the same direction as the traveling direction D of the tire T and faces the tire T, it is easy to exert a drag on the tire T. For example, the small stopper member 20 Even so, the effect of stopping can be further ensured.

  Further, in each tire stopper 10, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tire T is not on the pressing member 16, the pressing member 16 swings reversely by the urging force of the compression coil spring 25, and the stopper member 20 swings reversely by its own weight, and the rotating member 18 swings reversely by the swing of the stopper member 20. For this reason, in this state, the tire stopper 10 is not easily disturbed because the stopper member 20 does not stand up and can be lower than the conventional concrete block.

  Therefore, each tire stopper 10 is less likely to get in the way when there is no vehicle A, and can reliably limit the backward movement of the vehicle A. In particular, since each tire stopper 10 employs a horizontal pressing claw 16d in a state where the tire T is not on, the descending distance of the pressing claw 16d while reducing the height of the pressing member 16 from the ground E. It is difficult to get in the way while ensuring the stopping effect.

  Each tire stopper 10 has a simple configuration, has a small number of parts, and can realize a reduction in manufacturing cost.

  In the tire stopper 10 of the first embodiment, the compression coil spring 25 as the urging member is provided between the main body 16a of the pressing member 16 and the housing main body 12, but the main body 18a of the rotating member 18 A compression coil spring 25 as an urging member may be provided between the first axis O1 side and the housing body 12, and a torsion as an urging member is provided between the shaft 20b of the stopper member 20 and the housing body 12 or the like. A spiral spring may be provided. The compression coil spring 25 may be a leaf spring.

  It is also possible to embed each tire stopper 10 in the ground E. Even in this case, the depth is shallow and the construction is not so troublesome.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the vehicle tire stopper 30 of the second embodiment includes housings 32 and 14, a pressing member 36, a link mechanism 38, and a stopper member 40.

  The housing 32 has side walls 32a extending upward at both ends in the width direction. A first shaft hole 32b is provided through the both side walls 32a in front of the left side (left side in the figure) so as to face each other, and a third shaft hole 32c is provided through the center so as to face each other. A plurality of screw holes are provided in the periphery of the. The fixed plate 14 has a thicker plate shape than the housing 32, and has a shaft hole 14a provided at a position closer to the center when viewed in the horizontal direction.

  The pressing member 36 includes a main body 36a and both ear portions 36b. The pressing portion 36d of the main body 36a is bent downward substantially at a right angle. Both ears 36b are provided with shaft holes 36c aligned with the first shaft holes 32b.

  The link mechanism 38 includes a rotating member 33, a first crank 34, and a rod 35. The rotating member 33 includes a main body 33a that is smaller than the main body 18a of the rotating member 18 of the first embodiment, and a shaft 33b that is provided integrally with the main body 33a and extends in the width direction. A first crank 34 extending upward is integrally fixed to both ends of the shaft 33 b of the rotating member 33. A fourth shaft hole 34a is provided at the front ends of the first cranks 34, and a rod 35 extending rearward via a pin is pivotally supported by the fourth shaft holes 34a so as to be swingable.

  The stopper member 40 includes a main body 40a, a shaft 40b, and two second cranks 40d. Both the second cranks 40d extend upward at both ends of the shaft 40b and are integrally fixed. A fifth shaft hole 40e is provided at the tip of both the second cranks 40d, and a rod 35 extending forward through a pin is pivotally supported by the fifth shaft holes 40e so as to be swingable.

  Other configurations are the same as those of the tire stopper device 10 of the first embodiment. Each tire stopper 30 is obtained by assembling the pressing member 36, the link mechanism 38, the stopper member 40, and the housings 32 and 14 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. As a result, the pressing member 36 is pivotally supported on the ground E so as to be swingable around the horizontal first axis O <b> 1 that is the center of the pin 22. The rotating member 33 is pivotally supported on the ground E so as to be swingable around a horizontal third axis O3 that is the center of the shaft 33b. Further, the stopper member 40 is pivotally supported on the ground E so as to be swingable around a horizontal second axis O2 that is the center of the shaft 40b. Both rods 35 are pivotally supported between the first and second cranks 34 and 40d so as to be swingable around the third and fourth axial centers O3 and O4 which are the centers of the fourth and fifth shaft holes 34a and 40e. It will move back and forth. The first to fifth axes O1 to O5 are parallel to each other.

  In each tire stopper 30 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 9, when the tire T rides on the pressing member 36, the pressing member 36 swings and the pressing claw 36 d of the pressing member 36 descends. Then, the rotating member 33 of the link mechanism 38 swings around the third axis O3 by the lowering of the pressing claw 36d, and both the first cranks 34 swing around the third axis O3 integrally with the rotating member 33, Both rods 35 move rearward while swinging around the fourth axis O4 by swinging the first crank 34. As a result, both the second cranks 40d of the stopper member 40 swing around the fifth axis O5, and the stopper member 40 stands up.

  Thus, the tire stopper device 30 can also exhibit the same effect as that of the first embodiment. Although the tire stopper 30 has a slightly complicated structure, the distance between the first axis O1 and the second axis O2 can be made relatively large, and is therefore suitable for a large vehicle. . Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  In the tire stopper 30 according to the second embodiment, the rod 35 is moved backward by the swing of the rotating member 33. However, the rod 35 is moved forward by the swing of the rotating member 33. Is also possible.

  In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to the first and second embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Needless to say.

  The present invention can be used for a vehicle tire stopper.
