  The present invention relates to a vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility in which a bicycle parking table is suspended at appropriate intervals on an endless chain that rotates along a vertical rotation path.

  In order to simplify the structure and increase the safety, the bicycle parking lot used in this type of vertical rotation type bicycle parking equipment can carry the motorcycle on the parking bicycle only in the forward direction, but the other side as it is The two-wheeled vehicle cannot be carried out, that is, the two-wheeled vehicle can be loaded and unloaded only by a reciprocating movement in a certain direction. Therefore, in this type of vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility, an entrance / exit is provided adjacent to the outside of one of the two vertical lifting paths in the vertical rotation path on the front and rear sides, and all the parking spaces are provided. The stand was configured in the same direction so that the two-wheeled vehicle could be put in and out of the loading / unloading port.

JP 2011-89251 A

  In the conventional vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility having the above-described configuration, all the bicycle parking lots are managed by carrying out storage management so that an actual bicycle parking lot loaded with a motorcycle is averagely seated in the entire vertical rotation path. It is possible to reduce the load on the motor when rotating it along the vertical rotation path, and to prevent an unreasonable tensile force from acting locally on the endless chain. To do this, for example, when entering a warehouse, you must call an empty parking lot in the vertical lifting path on the opposite side, even though there is an empty parking base in the vertical lifting path adjacent to the entrance and exit. The time required for the warehousing operation may become longer. In addition, when the actual bicycle parking lot on which the two-wheeled vehicle to be delivered is loaded is in the vertical lifting path on the opposite side far from the entrance / exit, the time required for delivery becomes longer. Of course, for the purpose of solving the above problems, it is conceivable to provide two entrances / exits near the upper and lower ends of the vertical lifting path on one side. It can be used only when bicycle parking facilities are installed in a building with a hierarchy that can provide two entrances.

The present invention proposes a vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility capable of solving the above-described conventional problems, and the vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility according to the present invention according to claim 1. In order to facilitate understanding of the relationship with the embodiment described later, the reference numerals used in the description of the embodiment are shown in parentheses, and the endless chain that rotates along the vertical rotation path is shown. In (1), in the vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility in which the bicycle parking lots (5A, 5B) are suspended at appropriate intervals, the direction of the two-wheeled vehicle entering and exiting each other is at least two places in the vertical rotation path. Reverse loading / unloading ports (11A, 11B) are provided so that the distance along the vertical rotation path between both loading / unloading ports (11A, 11B) is equal, and all the bicycle parking stands (5A, 5B) includes the same number of consecutive bicycle parking lots (5A, 5B) and is adjacent to one entry / exit entrance (11A) and the other entry / exit entrance (11B) All bicycle parking lots (5A, 5B) are provided with a front wheel restraining member (13a) for receiving the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle pushed in from the entrance side end, and the entrance side end The bicycle parking lot (5A) in one area A is attached so that the entrance side end is adjacent to one entrance / exit A, and the other side is in the other area B. The bicycle parking lot (5B) is attached in the direction opposite to the bicycle parking lot (5A) in area A, with the entrance side end adjacent to the other entrance / exit B, and in one area A The bicycle parking platform (5A) is adjacent to only one loading / unloading port (11A) and the bicycle parking platform (5B) in the other area B is adjacent to only the other loading / unloading port (11B). The chain (1) is configured to rotate forward and backward.

  According to the configuration of the present invention described above, basically only the distribution motorcycles are allocated to the two entrances A and B so that there is no great difference in the number of actual bicycle parking lots in the areas A and B. The actual bicycle parking lot loaded with the two-wheeled vehicle is seated on the entire vertical rotation path on average, so that the motor load when rotating all the parking racks along the vertical rotation path is small. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unreasonable tensile force from acting locally on the endless chain. Moreover, in any of the loading / unloading operations, the bicycle parking lots in charge of the two front and rear loading / unloading ports A and B are adjacent to the loading / unloading ports A and B, and are areas A and B that are half the total length of the vertical rotation path. Since there are only the bicycle parking lots arranged in B, it is possible to shorten the time required to call the empty parking lot for entry and the actual parking lot for delivery to the entrance / exit.

  When carrying out the present invention, the two entrances A and B are point-symmetric with respect to the center position of the vertical rotation path, depending on the available levels of the building where the bicycle parking facility is provided. It is also possible to shift the position in the vertical direction so that, generally, as described in claim 2, so as to be able to enter and exit from a common floor surface having the same height. The two entry / exit ports A and B are preferably provided at the same height.

Therefore, a common floor slab 12 having an opening through which the building 8 passes in the vertical direction is disposed outside the two front and rear entrance / exit ports 11A and 11B having the same height. The vertically long endless annular area including all the bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B is divided into two areas A and B having the same length including the same number of bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B. In the illustrated example, 10 bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B are arranged at equal intervals in area A and area B, respectively.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each of the bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B includes a support base portion 14 including a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) two-wheeled vehicle support rails 13 at equal intervals in the left-right horizontal direction, A pair of left and right side frame portions 15 erected from the left and right sides of the support base 14 and a connecting member 16 that connects and integrates the upper ends of the pair of left and right side frame portions 15 are configured. And the two-wheeled vehicle support rail 13 with which each bicycle-parking stand 5A, 5B is equipped with the two-wheeled vehicle pushed in from the entrance side edge part adjacent to one of the front-and-back both sides of the support stand part 14 in the standing position by the front wheel stop frame 13a in a fixed position. The rear end of each motorcycle support rail 13 is provided with a rear wheel restraining projection 13b at a height at which the motorcycle can get over. In addition, the two-wheeled vehicle support rails 13 in parallel have a low front wheel support portion and a high height so that the handle portions of the two-wheeled vehicle supported by the two adjacent two-wheeler support rails 13 overlap each other in the vertical direction. Things are arranged alternately.

  Among the bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B having the above-described configuration, each bicycle parking lot 5A in the area A is located at the entrance side end portion of the motorcycle support rail 13 (rear wheel restraining protrusion) when located at a position adjacent to the entrance / exit 11A. 13b) is hung in the direction adjacent to the entrance / exit 11A, and each bicycle parking base 5B in the area B is located on the entrance side of the motorcycle support rail 13 when it is in a position adjacent to the entrance / exit 11B. The end (the side where the rear wheel restraining projection 13b is present) is suspended in a direction adjacent to the loading / unloading port 11B. That is, the bicycle parking lots 5A in the area A and the bicycle parking lots 5B in the area B are suspended in opposite directions.

  The suspension tool 4 for suspending the bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B is composed of two links 4a and 4b that are pivotally supported at two locations separated in the length direction of the endless chain 1, and the links 4a, The bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B are suspended in a freely swingable manner by a horizontal support shaft 4c at the overlapping portion of the free ends 4b. Guide rollers 17a, 18a and 17b, 18b are pivotally supported on the bicycle parking lots 5A, 5B at the front and rear ends of the support base 14 and the positions near the upper ends of the front and rear sides of the side frame 15, respectively. Yes. Of the guide rails 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b for holding the bicycle parking stands 5A, 5B in an upright posture, the guide rails 6a, 6b provided along with the vertical lifting path 9 are provided in the vertical lifting path 9 Engaged with two upper and lower guide rollers 18a and 18b (or 17a and 17b) located outside the suspension position (support shaft 4c position) of the bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B.

  It should be noted that the endless chain 1 and the upper and lower tooth rings 2 and 3 for hanging the endless chain 1 and the hanging tool 4 are provided in a pair of left and right so as to suspend the pair of left and right side frame portions 15 of the bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B. The pair of left and right lower tooth wheels 3 are attached to a common drive shaft 3a as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 3, and a motor 19 with a speed reducer is linked to the drive shaft 3a via a chain transmission means 20. It is connected. Further, all the guide rollers 17a to 18b may be provided as a pair on both the left and right sides of the bicycle parking bases 5A and 5B, but in the illustrated example, only the guide rollers 17a and 18a at the front and rear ends of the support base portion 14 are provided as a pair of left and right guide rollers. The guide rollers 17b and 18b on the upper end side of the side frame portion 15 are provided only on the side frame portion 15 on one side. Accordingly, the guide rails 6b and 7b that engage with the guide rollers 17b and 18b are also provided only on the left and right sides of the vertical rotation path. Of course, the configuration of the guide rail and the guide roller for holding the bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B in the upright posture is not limited to the configuration shown in this embodiment.

  According to the above configuration, the endless chain 1 is rotated forward and backward by operating the motor 19 with a speed reducer, so that all the bicycle parking stands 5A and 5B are vertically aligned along the rotation path of the endless chain 1. The rotation path can be rotated forward and backward while maintaining the upright posture by the engagement of the guide rails 6a to 7b and the guide rollers 17a to 18b. Accordingly, when entering and leaving a motorcycle, the parking lots 5A and 5B to be entered / exited are called to a fixed stop position adjacent to the inside of the entry / exit ports 11A and 11B, and are provided at the entrance / exit ports 11A and 11B. It is possible to open / close the two-wheeled vehicle with respect to the two-wheeled vehicle support rail 13 to be loaded / unloaded by opening only the part corresponding to the two-wheeled vehicle support rail 13 of the opening / closing doors 21 </ b> A, 21 </ b> B. When the parking lot 5A in which the entrance end of the motorcycle support rail 13 (the side with the rear wheel restraining protrusion 13b) is located on the side where 11A is located, that is, the parking lot 5A in the area A is the object of entry / exit The parking lot 5A to be loaded / unloaded is called to a fixed stop position adjacent to the inside of the loading / unloading port 11A, and conversely, the end of the motorcycle support rail 13 on the side where the loading / unloading port 11B is located (rear wheel stop) Protrusion 13 When the bicycle parking lot 5B in which the side is located), that is, the bicycle parking lot 5B in the area B, is the entry / exit object, the entry / exit object parking lot 5B is adjacent to the inside of the entry / exit port 11B. Must be called at a fixed stop position.

  That is, in actual operation, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in area A including 10 bicycle parking lots 5A from A1 to A10, the A1 bicycle parking lot 5A is adjacent to the entrance / exit 11A. 10 bicycle parking lots from B1 to B10 are rotated forward and backward only within a half rotation range from the fixed stop position to the fixed stop position adjacent to the entrance / exit 11A. Area B including 5B is within the range of half rotation from the fixed stop position where the B1 parking lot 5B is adjacent to the loading / unloading port 11B to the fixed stop position where the B10 parking lot 5B is adjacent to the loading / unloading port 11B. Only forward / reverse rotation is performed. Therefore, when entering the warehouse, in principle, the incoming motorcycles are alternately distributed to the entrance / exit 11A and 11B, and each of the 10 bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B in the areas A and B is assigned A1 / B1 ( Or alternatively, from A10 / B10) in ascending or descending order, and in the area A start side (A1 parking lot 5A side) or area A end side (A10 parking lot 5A side) and area B Total number of warehousing and area in area A with the actual parking lots 5A and 5B not concentrated on the start side (B1 parking lot 5B side) or the end side of area B (B10 parking lot 5B side) If the difference in the total number of goods in B is managed to be as small as possible, it is possible to move up and down vertically in the vertical rotation path of the bicycle parking base in any situation from the state of FIG. 4A to the state of FIG. 4B. It is possible to avoid the concentration of the actual bicycle parking lots 5A and 5B that have been received in either one of the routes 9 and 10.In other words, even when the endless chain 1 is rotated in either the forward or reverse direction, the load applied to the motor 19 with a speed reducer can be reduced. Of course, during the loading and unloading work, the parking lots 5A and 5B to be loaded and unloaded only rotate the range of the maximum half of the total length of the vertical rotation path of the parking lot, so the waiting time is also halved. It will be.

  In addition, since the entrance / exit 11A and 11B should just be provided so that the vertical rotation path | route length (the number of bicycle parking lots) of the bicycle parking space in the meantime may become equal, if even this condition can be satisfied, When there are a plurality of upper and lower floors that can be used as an entrance / exit passage for a two-wheeler in a building adjacent to the vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility, as shown in FIG. 5, entrance / exit ports 11A and 11B are located at different upper and lower levels. Can be provided separately. In this case, the two entrance / exit ports 11A and 11B are provided with their positions shifted in the vertical direction so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center position of the vertical rotation path. Moreover, when the height of the vertical rotation path of the bicycle parking platform can be increased, a plurality of sets of two entrance / exit ports 11A, 11B satisfying the above conditions can be provided.

  The vertical rotation type bicycle parking facility of the present invention can be utilized as a bicycle parking facility having at least two entrance / exit ports that can enter and exit a motorcycle in opposite directions at the same height or different heights.
