Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus having a wheel locking mechanism, in which a wheel is locked only when parking is truly intended without being locked due to mischief. The present invention relates to a mischief prevention device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, an arm for holding a wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle, a solenoid for fixing the arm in the held state, an electric circuit for energizing the solenoid, and a switch serving as a trigger for energization are provided. There was a motorcycle parking device.
[0003]
In this case, when the wheel of the motorcycle enters the arm, the wheel is held by the arm, and when a part of the motorcycle touches the switch, the solenoid operates to fix the arm holding the wheel and the arm opens. The wheel is locked by not having it.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, this has the following drawbacks. In other words, if a part of a motorcycle touches the switch, the wheel is locked, but even if the switch is moved by hand due to mischief, the arm is fixed, and the motorcycle that really enters to try to park Could not be locked.
[0005]
Therefore, in the present invention, the above-described problems are solved, and it is possible to judge only the case of mischief and the case where the vehicle is truly parked and only when the vehicle is actually parked. This is the issue.
[0006]
In the two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus equipped with a wheel locking mechanism, the above-described problem includes a switch that senses that a wheel has entered, and a determination mechanism that determines whether or not the switch has operated for a predetermined time or more. When the determination mechanism determines that the switch has been operated for a predetermined time or more, the wheel locking mechanism locks the wheel. Achieved.
[0007]
A person who wants to park the two-wheeled vehicle enters the two-wheeled vehicle up to the wheel locking mechanism and keeps it for a predetermined time. Then, when the determination mechanism determines that the switch that senses that the wheel has entered has operated for a predetermined time or more, the wheel locking mechanism operates to lock the wheel, so that the motorcycle can be parked. On the other hand, in the case of mischief, the switch is directly operated by hand instead of the wheel, or the switch is moved using a stick or the like, but since it is mischief, there is no waiting for a predetermined time. The case is normal. Therefore, the true meaning of the switch operation can be measured by this time.
[0008]
In addition, in the two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus provided with a wheel locking mechanism, the above-described problem is provided with two switches for detecting that a wheel has entered, and a determination mechanism for determining whether or not these two switches are operated simultaneously. An anti-tamper device for a two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus, wherein the determination mechanism is configured such that when the two switches are operated simultaneously, the wheel locking mechanism locks the wheel ; Is achieved. It is convenient to keep these two switches apart from each other.
[0009]
In the present invention, the approach of a wheel is detected by two switches. That is, if the two switches are not turned on at the same time, the determination mechanism determines that the two switches are not operating at the same time, so the wheel locking mechanism does not perform the operation of locking the wheels . In the case of mischief, the switch is directly operated by hand instead of the wheel, but the troublesome act of simultaneously operating the two switches is not performed. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether it is intended for true parking or mischief based on whether the two switches are operating simultaneously. In addition, it will become difficult to operate simultaneously with a human hand, so that two switches are installed apart.
[0010]
Next, regarding the mischief prevention device for the two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus according to the first or second aspect, it may be provided with a biasing mechanism that biases the wheel in the pushing direction.
[0011]
When the two-wheeled vehicle is made to approach the wheel locking mechanism, the two-wheeled vehicle receives force in the direction of pushing out the wheel by the biasing mechanism. If this is the case, the motorcycle will be returned and the wheels cannot be locked. Therefore, a person who wants to park the motorcycle must bring the motorcycle into the wheel lock mechanism and continue to apply force against the repulsive force from the urging mechanism for a predetermined time. In the case of the invention of claim 1, the wheel must be continuously pushed in the direction of the lock mechanism for a predetermined time. In the case of claim 2, the wheel must be moved to the two switches against the repulsive force. By doing so, the determination mechanism determines that it is performed, and the wheel locking mechanism performs an operation of locking the wheel . On the other hand, in the case of mischief, it is normal that the act of mischief is not performed until the repulsion force from the urging mechanism is countered.
[0012]
Moreover, regarding the mischief prevention device for a two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus according to the first or second aspect, the switch can be operated when pressed by a wheel that has entered.
[0013]
A push switch can be used as the switch. Because the wheel of a motorcycle is entered and the push switch provided in the approach direction is pushed, or the push switch is provided on the approach passage surface of the wheel and the switch is pushed so that the wheel enters and is placed on the push switch. is there.
[0014]
In addition, regarding the mischief prevention device for a motorcycle parking apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, the switch is an optical switch that operates when a light path is blocked by an approaching wheel. I can do it.
[0015]
For example, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged on both sides of the wheel passage, and the light emitted from the light emitting element is set to enter the light receiving element when the two-wheeled vehicle does not enter. When the two-wheeled vehicle enters, the optical circuit is cut off, so that the determination mechanism determines that it is performed, and the wheel locking mechanism performs an operation of locking the wheels .
[0016]
Moreover, regarding the mischief prevention device for the motorcycle parking apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, the wheel locking mechanism is configured to fix the arm for holding the wheel of the motorcycle and the arm in the held state. It can consist of a solenoid and an electrical circuit for energizing the solenoid.
[0017]
When a person who wants to park the motorcycle leads the wheel to the locking means, the wheel is held in the arm of the locking means. When the determination mechanism determines that the wheel should be locked, the solenoid actuating rod acts on the arm, the arm is locked, and the arm fixes the wheel. Next, when the solenoid is energized, the solenoid actuating rod moves to disengage from the arm and the arm becomes free, so that the two-wheeled vehicle can be taken out.
[0018]
In addition to the combination of the arm and the solenoid, for example, it is possible to raise the one to be locked by inserting a solenoid trowel between the spokes of the wheel. If the solenoid is used during the configuration, a mechanism for performing the unlocking operation electrically and remotely can be easily configured, and remote computer control and the like are also possible.
[0019]
The motorcycles to be parked by the present invention are bicycles, electric assist bicycles, motorbikes, motorcycles, etc., and the parking device of the present invention is designed according to the thickness and diameter of the wheels and the weight of the motorcycle body. Is.
[0020]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various developments can be made within the scope of the idea of the present invention. It is within the scope of this invention.
[0021]
(First embodiment)
This will be described with reference to FIGS. The bicycle parking apparatus according to this embodiment includes a channel-shaped guide 14 and a locking device 1 provided in front thereof. The rear end of the guide 14 is opened, and the wheels are taken in and out from here. Further, the guide 14 catches the collar portion 30 which is the arm of the locking device 1 when the wheel (the front wheel when introduced from the front wheel) is parked at the position where the wheel has finished getting over. As shown, the roller 16 is rotatably attached to the rotary shaft 15. In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a support column that supports the locking device 1. Reference numeral 12 denotes a bottom surface portion of the guide 1.
[0022]
The locking device 1 is shown in FIGS. The slide member 2 is provided so as to slide between the guides 10 on both sides, and the abutting plate 22 is attached to the rear end portion, that is, the portion where the wheel T abuts. Moreover, the two collar parts 30 and 30 are rotatably attached by the rotating shaft 3 so that a wheel can be caught facing each other. The two flanges 30 and 30 are always urged in a direction to open the wheel T by a spring (not shown). The slide member 2 is provided with a hole 21 through which a slide rod 6 of a solenoid 60 described later is inserted. When the slide member 2 is pushed by the wheel T, a hole 11 corresponding to the hole 21 is provided in the bottom surface portion 12 of the locking device 1. The collars 30, 30 rotate inwardly when the slide member 2 is pushed by the wheel T, and the collars 30, 30 are blocked by the outer frame of the locking device 1 (FIG. 2). When the slide rod 6 is removed from the holes 11 and 21 and the slide member 2 is pushed out by a spring (not shown), the slide rod 6 is rotated outward (FIG. 1) so that the wheel T can be opened. . FIG. 1 shows a state in which the wheel T is opened when the flanges 30 and 30 are not affected by the suppression of the casing of the locking device 1. Further, the spring 4 is interposed between the slide member 2 and the outer frame of the locking device 1 so that the flange portions 30 and 30 are always urged in the direction to open the wheels T. The electric circuit for sliding the slide rod 6 of the solenoid 60 is not shown. Reference numeral 61 in the drawing denotes a lead wire of the solenoid 60.
[0023]
A pressing switch 5 is attached to the abutting plate 22. When the wheel T hits the abutting plate 22 at the rear end portion of the slide member 2, the pressing switch 5 is pressed. The push switch 5 is connected to the control circuit shown in the block diagram of FIG. 5, and the solenoid 60 is also connected via a lead wire 61. In addition, a timer 63 is connected to the control unit 62.
[0024]
Now, a person who wants to park the bicycle makes the front wheel T pass between the guides 14 and 14 beyond the roller 16 supported by the rotating shaft 15 and pushes the abutting plate 22 with the front wheel T. Then, the pressing switch 5 is turned on, but when the abutting plate 22 is further pressed against the force of the spring 4, the collar portions 30, 30 are interlocked with the abutting plate 22, but the collar portions 30, 30 Is blocked by the outer frames on both sides of the locking device 1 and pivots inward to capture the front wheel T. Here, when a person who wants to park the bicycle loosens the force pushing the abutment plate 22 with the front wheel T, the slide member 2 is pushed back by the force of the spring 4 and the collars 30 and 30 are opened, so that parking is impossible. It becomes. Therefore, a person who wants to park the bicycle must not loosen the force pushing the abutment plate 22 with the front wheel T. When the slide member 2 and the bottom surface portion 12 of the locking device 1 are viewed in this state, the hole 21 of the slide member 2 and the hole 11 of the bottom surface portion 12 coincide with each other. Therefore, when a predetermined time elapses, the determination mechanism determines that the wheel should be locked, energizes the solenoid 60, and inserts the slide rod 6, which is an operating rod, into the holes 21 and 11. Thus, the bicycle cannot be taken out until the solenoid 60 is energized next time.
[0025]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control circuit shown in the block diagram of FIG. When the abutting plate 22 is pushed by the front wheel T, the push switch 5 is turned on (step S1). Then, the control unit 62 initializes the timer 63 and starts measuring time (step S2), determines whether or not the ON state of the push switch 5 is continued (step S3), and if it is Yes, the predetermined time is reached. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed (step S4), and if yes, locking is performed by the solenoid 60 (step S5). In step S3, when the ON state of the push switch 5 is not continued, the process ends. In step S4, if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the clocking operation is continued. If the ON state of the push switch 5 is not continued for a predetermined time, the control unit 62 does not energize the solenoid 60. It is possible to set an arbitrary time in the timer 63. For example, if it is set to 3 seconds, the solenoid 60 is energized when the ON state of the push switch 5 continues for 3 seconds. When an exit command is given to the control unit 62, the control unit 62 energizes the solenoid 60, pulls the slide rod 6, and pulls out the slide rod 6 from the holes 21 and 11, so that the slide member 2 moves. When the bicycle is pulled, the hooks 30 and 30 are easily opened with the help of the repulsive force of the spring 4.
[0026]
Therefore, in the case of mischief, that is, when the abutting plate 22 is pushed with a stick or the like, the push switch 5 may certainly be once turned on, but the slide member 2 is pushed back by the force of the spring 4. For this reason, a person who makes a mischief must keep pushing the abutting plate 22 against the force of the spring 4, and such mischief with perseverance is usually not continued. However, for a person who really wants to park the bicycle, the weight of the bicycle helps, so it is not difficult to elapse this predetermined time.
[0027]
(Second Embodiment)
The bicycle parking apparatus provided with the mischief prevention apparatus of this embodiment is similar to the first embodiment described above in most of the configurations, but in addition to the press switch 5 that is the first switch of the locking apparatus 17, The difference is that the switch 2 is provided and the spring 4 that pushes back the slide member 2 is not provided.
[0028]
The second switch is a weighting switch 8 that is mounted upward on the bottom portion of the wheel base 7 provided between the guides 14 and 14 serving as wheel passages and on the portion on which the wheel T is placed. The front wheel T of the bicycle is advanced as far as the collars 30 and 30, and when the abutting plate 22 is pushed by the front wheel T, the front wheel T is placed on the wheel platform 7 and is stabilized. This state is also a state in which the weight switch 8 is pushed by the front wheel T. That is, when the abutting plate 22 is pressed, the pressing switch 5 (not shown in FIG. 7) is in the ON state and the weighting switch 8 is in the ON state. Therefore, the control unit 62 is set to energize the solenoid 60 when these two switches 5 and 8 are pressed simultaneously (FIG. 8).
[0029]
Therefore, a person who makes a mischief must press the two switches of the pressing switch 5 and the weighting switch 8 at the same time, and it is bothersome and painful because both are provided at positions apart from each other. Such mischief is usually not continued. However, for a person who really wants to park the bicycle, the bicycle is simply placed on the wheel base 7, so there is no difficulty.
[0030]
(Third embodiment)
This will be described with reference to FIGS. The bicycle parking apparatus provided with the mischief prevention apparatus of this embodiment is characterized in that an optical switch including a light emitting unit 9 and an optical sensor 90 is provided instead of the pressing switch 5 of the above-described embodiment. Other configurations follow the above-described first embodiment.
[0031]
The locking device 18 is provided with the slide member 2 so as to slide between the guides 10 on both sides, and the abutting plate 22 is attached to a portion where the rear end portion, that is, the wheel T abuts. Moreover, it is attached to the slide member 2 so as to be rotatable by the rotation shaft 3 so that the two flange portions 30, 30 can face each other and catch the wheel. The two flanges 30 and 30 are always urged in a direction to open the wheel T by a spring (not shown). Moreover, the light emitting part 9 that emits light toward the opposite collar part 30 is attached to the inside of the one collar part 30, and a position where the light from the light emitting part 9 can be received inside the other collar part 30. An optical sensor 90 is attached to the front.
[0032]
When the front wheel T of the bicycle is not between the heel portions 30 and 30, the light sensor 90 receives the light from the light emitting portion 9 (FIG. 9). When the abutting plate 22 is pushed by the front wheel T, the optical circuit from the light emitting unit 9 toward the optical sensor 90 is blocked by the front wheel T, which is detected by a control unit (not shown). When such a state continues for a predetermined time, the solenoid 60 is energized, and the slide rod 6 is inserted into the hole 21 and the hole 11. If this optical circuit is not continued for a predetermined time, the controller does not energize the solenoid 60. An arbitrary time can be set in the timer, for example, 3 seconds. When a control instruction is given to the control unit, the control unit energizes the solenoid 60, pulls the slide rod 6 and pulls out the slide rod 6 from the holes 21 and 11, so that the slide member 2 is free to move. When the bicycle is pulled, the buttocks 30, 30 are opened by the biasing force of the spring 4.
[0033]
Therefore, in the case of mischief, that is, when the abutting plate 22 is pushed by hand, the optical circuit may surely be interrupted once, but the slide member 2 is pushed back by the force of the spring 4. For this reason, a person who makes a mischief must keep pushing the abutting plate 22 against the force of the spring 4, and such mischief with perseverance is usually not continued. However, it is not difficult for a person who has the purpose of parking a bicycle to pass this predetermined time. The weight of the bicycle is added to keep pushing the abutting plate 22.
[0034]
In addition, since this invention is not limited only to embodiment mentioned above, what kind of thing may be used for the switch which detects that the wheel approached. The determination mechanism may be designed as appropriate.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus provided with a wheel locking mechanism, the present invention includes a switch that detects that a wheel has entered, and a determination mechanism that determines whether or not the switch has operated for a predetermined time or more. When the determination mechanism determines that the switch has operated for a predetermined time or more, the wheel locking mechanism locks the wheel . The present invention also provides a two-wheeled vehicle parking apparatus having a wheel locking mechanism, including two switches for detecting that a wheel has entered, and a determination mechanism for determining whether or not the two switches are operated simultaneously. When the determination mechanism determines that the two switches are operated at the same time, the wheel locking mechanism locks the wheel .
[0036]
As a result, the former locks the wheel when the switch operates for a predetermined time or more, and the latter locks the wheel when the two switches operate at the same time. It was possible to lock the parking lot only when it was going to park truly without being operated by mischief, and the intended purpose could be achieved.
