Description

The present invention relates to a bicycle parking device, and particularly to a so-called two-stage bicycle parking facility that can store a bicycle in two upper and lower stages, and the bicycle parking device that can easily move a bicycle to a bicycle storage location in the upper stage.

As a bicycle parking device that can efficiently store a large number of bicycles in a limited space, a so-called two-stage bicycle parking device that can store bicycles in two upper and lower stages is already widely known. In this type of two-stage bicycle parking device, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a bicycle parking device that can be easily moved to a bicycle storage location in the upper stage.

This type of bicycle parking device is loaded with a platform (bicycle rack) that moves up and down vertically with the bicycle mounted, and a platform pulling spring (spring for small load) that raises the mass corresponding to this platform. It is equipped with a load pulling spring (spring for large load) that raises the mass corresponding to the bicycle load. When the bicycle parking device is pulled up or down, the bicycle parking device performs a pulling operation (upward operation) and a lowering operation (lowering operation) while holding the pedestal. Then, when the bicycle to be used is in a predetermined (specified) weight range (for example, about 16 kg to 18 kg), even if the hand is released during ascending and descending, the bicycle stops at almost the same position and is attached to the spring. The load is balanced so that the platform and bicycle can be easily raised and lowered when ascending and descending.

However, in this type of bicycle parking device, even if the weight range of the bicycle suitable for storage is displayed, the user does not recognize the weight of the bicycle so much, and it is smaller (lighter) than this weight range. Bicycles and large (heavy) bicycles, that is, bicycles outside the weight range, may be stored.

For example, when a light bicycle such as a sports-type bicycle that is out of the weight range is placed, the platform moves at a high speed when ascending and suddenly abuts on the stopper provided at the ascending end, and the impact at that time causes it to come into contact with the stopper. , The bicycle on which it is placed may jump up, and the bicycle may hit the storage frame strongly, or the bicycle may fall off the storage frame and be damaged (in the case of an extremely light bicycle). In addition, noise is generated by the collision at the rising end, and for example, when this bicycle parking device is placed in a space surrounded by concrete, the noise may be loud and may cause discomfort to the user or the like. ..

In addition, when a heavy bicycle such as an electric bicycle that is out of the weight range is placed, the platform moves at a high speed when descending, and a large impact is generated at the descending end, which may damage the platform or the bicycle. .. In addition, noise is generated by the collision at the descending end, and for example, when this bicycle parking device is placed in a space surrounded by concrete, the noise may be loud and may cause discomfort to the user or the like. ..

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and even when a bicycle outside the weight range is mounted and used, the platform and the bicycle may be damaged, and noise may be generated due to collision at the ascending end or the descending end. The purpose is to provide a bicycle parking device that can be minimized.

The present invention also provides a bicycle parking device that can prevent the bicycle from falling off the storage frame when it moves to the ascending end even when a bicycle that is extremely lighter than the weight range is placed. It is the purpose.

In order to solve the above problems, the bicycle parking device of the present invention has a support column erected on the installation surface, a platform on which the bicycle is mounted, and a mounting platform connected to the platform and arranged so as to be able to move up and down with respect to the support column. A platform lifting device, a platform lifting spring that applies a platform lifting force to lift the platform, a lower lifting device that is freely arranged with respect to the support column below the platform lifting device, and a lower lifting device. It is attached to the load pulling spring that applies the load pulling force that pulls the bicycle to the device, the rising end stopper fixed to the support, the descending end stopper fixed to the support, and the platform lifting device. The impact mitigation device is equipped with an impact mitigation device that can move between the ascending end stopper and the descending end stopper, and the impact mitigation device contacts the ascending end stopper to alleviate the impact when the platform moves to the ascending end. When the table moves to the descending end, it comes into contact with the descending end stopper fixed to the column or the installation surface to alleviate the impact.

According to this configuration, when the platform moves to the ascending end, it abuts on the ascending end stopper fixed to the column to alleviate the impact, and when the platform moves to the descending end, it touches the column. Since the impact mitigation device that abuts on the fixed descending end stopper or the installation surface to cushion the impact is provided, the impact when the platform moves to the ascending end and when the platform moves to the descending end is It is mitigated to minimize damage to the platform and bicycle and noise from collisions at the ascending and descending ends, even when used with a bicycle outside the weight range. ..

Further, as an impact mitigation device, an upper rod protruding upward from the main body portion, a lower rod protruding downward from the main body portion, and a region inside the main body portion that is connected to the upper rod and the lower rod and slides in the main body portion. It is preferable to have a structure having a sliding portion for partitioning and a throttle portion provided so as to communicate the sliding portion.

Further, it is preferable that a release mechanism for canceling the impact mitigation function of the impact mitigation device is provided when the bicycle is climbed without the bicycle on the platform. In other words, since the platform is lighter than the bicycle, the platform pulling force by the platform pulling spring is relatively small, and if the impact mitigation device is operated when climbing without the bicycle on the platform, Depending on the case, the platform may stop before reaching the rising end, but according to this configuration, such a problem does not occur.

Further, the load pulling spring is configured by winding a constant load spring around a rotating shaft, a load pulling force braking device is connected to the rotating shaft, and a load pulling force braking device winds up and pulls out the load by the load pulling spring. It is characterized in that and is reduced.

According to this configuration, even when a bicycle out of the weight range is mounted and used, the moving speed when the platform moves to the rising end and when the platform moves to the descending end is reduced.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a detachment prevention device for preventing the bicycle from detaching from the platform when the platform is moved to the upper stage is provided. In this case, it is preferable that the detachment prevention device has a fall prevention lever that enters between the spokes of the bicycle when the platform is moved to the upper stage. According to this configuration, even when a bicycle that is extremely lighter than the weight range is placed, it is possible to prevent the bicycle from falling out of the storage frame when moving to the ascending end.

According to the present invention, when the platform moves to the ascending end, it abuts on the rising end stopper fixed to the column to alleviate the impact, and when the platform moves to the descending end, it touches the column. By providing an impact mitigation device that abuts on the fixed descending end stopper or the installation surface to alleviate the impact, the impact when the platform moves to the ascending end and when the platform moves to the descending end is mitigated. Therefore, even when a bicycle outside the weight range is placed and used, it is possible to minimize damage to the platform and the bicycle and noise caused by a collision at the ascending end and the descending end. As a result, damage to the platform and the bicycle can be minimized, and the reliability of the bicycle parking device can be improved. In addition, since the generation of noise due to a collision is minimized, it is possible to maintain a good usage environment without causing discomfort to users and the like.

Further, as an impact mitigation device, an upper rod protruding upward from the main body portion, a lower rod protruding downward from the main body portion, and a region inside the main body portion that is connected to the upper rod and the lower rod and slides in the main body portion. The impact mitigation device can be relatively easily and inexpensively configured by using a configuration having a sliding portion for partitioning and a throttle portion provided so as to communicate the sliding portions.

In addition, by providing a release mechanism that cancels the impact mitigation function of the impact mitigation device when climbing without a bicycle on the platform, the impact mitigation device can be operated when ascending without a bicycle on the platform. In some cases, it is possible to prevent the platform from stopping before reaching the rising end, and it is possible to improve reliability.

Further, the load pulling spring is configured by winding a constant load spring around the rotating shaft, a load pulling force braking device is connected to the rotating shaft, and the winding speed and pulling out by the load pulling spring are performed by the load pulling force braking device. By adopting a configuration that reduces the speed, even when a bicycle outside the weight range is placed and used, the moving speed when the platform moves to the rising end and when the platform moves to the descending end is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to minimize damage to the platform and the bicycle, and noise caused by a collision at the ascending end and the descending end.

In addition, by providing a detachment prevention device that prevents the bicycle from detaching from the platform when the platform is moved to the upper stage, even when a bicycle that is extremely lighter than the weight range is loaded, when it moves to the ascending end. It is possible to prevent the bicycle from falling off the storage frame, prevent damage to the bicycle, and improve safety.

In addition to the above configuration, the bicycle parking device 10 abuts on the rising end stopper 51 fixed to the support column 11 when the mounting base 12 moves to the rising end to alleviate the impact (see FIG. 15). ), When the mount 12 moves to the descending end, it abuts on the descending end stopper (or the installation surface) 52 fixed to the support column 11 to alleviate the impact (see FIG. 16). A load pulling force braking device 60 that reduces the winding speed and the pulling speed of the load pulling spring 16, and a mounting pulling force braking device 65 that reduces the winding speed and the pulling speed of the mount pulling spring 14. When the pedestal 12 in which the bicycle 1 is stored is lowered from the upper tier to the lower tier and taken out from the pedestal 12 toward the front, the automatic raising device (auto return device) 70 that automatically moves the pedestal 12 to the upper tier. When removing the bicycle 1 from the mounting table 12, the mounting table 12 can be automatically moved to the upper stage even if the bicycle 1 is taken out extremely quickly (that is, it is locked again so that it cannot be moved upward). The re-lock prevention mechanism 80 and the bicycle 1 are prevented from being detached from the mount 12 when the mount 12 is moved to the upper stage. A detachment prevention device 90 or the like is provided. In this embodiment, the ascending end stopper 51 and the descending end stopper 52 are fixed to the back cover 28 fixed to the column 11, but the ascending end stopper 51 and the descending end stopper 52 are attached to the column 11. It may be directly fixed to, or it may be attached to another member fixed to the support column 11.

As shown in FIG. 17 and the like, the impact mitigation device 50 includes a main body portion (so-called cylinder portion) 53 attached to the platform elevating device 7, an upper rod 54 protruding upward from the main body portion 53, and a main body portion 53. A lower rod 55 projecting downward, a sliding portion (so-called piston) 56 connected to the upper rod 54 and the lower rod 55 and sliding in the main body 53 to vertically partition a region in the main body 53. A so-called air damper having a throttle portion (throttle passage) 57 provided so as to communicate with the sliding portion 56 is used. In this embodiment, the elastic material is attached to the upper end portion of the upper rod 54 and the lower end portion of the lower rod, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, as the throttle portion 57, a throttle valve or the like may be used instead of the throttle passage. Further, in FIG. 17, 53a is the upper lid of the main body 53, 53b is the lower lid of the main body 53, 53c, 53d, 56a, 56b are packings, and 58 in FIGS. It is a mounting bracket to be assembled to 7 (specifically, the platform elevating frame 13 of the platform elevating device 7).

As shown in FIG. 17, the inside of the main body 53 is divided into a space filled with two airs by the sliding portion 56 that slides up and down in contact with the inner wall surface of the main body 53. It is (partitioned). Since these spaces are communicated with each other through the narrow throttle portion (throttle passage) 57, for example, the mount elevating device 7 is raised together with the mount 12 to approach the upper position, and the upper rod 54 is attached to the rising end stopper 51. The sliding portion 56 is configured to gradually move downward while alleviating the impact when reaching the upper stage (rising end) when the upper end portions of the above are in contact with each other. Further, when the platform elevating device 7 is lowered together with the platform 12 to approach the lower stage position and the lower end portion of the lower rod 55 abuts on the descending end stopper 52, the impact when reaching the lower stage (lowering end) is alleviated. While doing so, the sliding portion 56 gradually moves upward.

As shown in FIGS. 18 to 22, the load pulling force braking device 60 that reduces the winding speed and the pulling speed by the load pulling spring 16 is a rotary damper 61 and the rotary damper 61 that reduce the rotation speed by so-called hydraulic pressure or the like. It is composed of an assembling stand 62 and the like for storing and assembling to the spring storage frame 27. In this embodiment, a load pulling force braking device 60 (rotary damper 61 and an assembly base 62) is attached to the side of the spring storage frame 27, and a rotating shaft 16a around which one of the load pulling springs 16 is wound is attached. , The rotary damper 61 is connected to the rotating shaft 61a so as to rotate integrally. It should be noted that the axis of the rotation shaft 16a of the load pulling spring 16 and the axis of the rotation shaft 61a of the rotary damper 61 are not displaced from each other when they are assembled. By providing a hole 62a for inserting the end portion of the rotating shaft 16a projecting into the spring storage frame 27 and aligning it with the hole of the spring storage frame 27, an error in attaching the load pulling force braking device 60 to the spring storage frame 27 can occur. It is preferable, but not limited to, to prevent the displacement between the axes. Reference numerals 68 and 69 in FIGS. 18 to 22 are shaft covers that cover both ends of the rotating shafts 14a and 16a of the pulling springs 14 and 16 from the side.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the platform pulling force braking device 65 that reduces the winding speed and the pulling speed by the mounting pulling spring 14 is also a rotary damper like the load pulling force braking device 60. It is composed of 66 and has the same assembly structure. A mount pulling force braking device 65 (rotary damper 66 and assembly stand 67) is attached to the side of the spring storage frame 27, and one of the mount pulling springs is attached. The rotary shaft 14a around which the 14 is wound is connected so as to rotate integrally with the rotary shaft 66a of the rotary damper 66. It is also preferable that the axial center of the load pulling spring 16 and the axial center of the constant load spring braking device 60 configured by the rotary damper device are not displaced when they are attached. Further, the platform pulling force braking device 65 may be provided as needed, and may not necessarily be provided.

As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, when the platform 12 in which the bicycle 1 is stored is lowered from the upper stage to the lower stage and taken out from the mount 12 to the front, the mount 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage. The device (auto return device) 70 is fixed and connected to the connecting links 71 and 72 swingably connected to the rotating arm 42 interlocking with the operation unit 17, respectively, in a posture extending diagonally downward from the mounting body 12b. A support portion 75 that swingably supports the link 72, an interlocking plate 73 attached so as to rotate integrally with the connecting link 72 in a posture extending rearward from the connecting link 72, and a pivot shaft attached to the interlocking plate 73. The contact body 76, which is openable and closably connected to the front wheel 1a and the rear wheel 1b of the bicycle 1 from below via the 74, and the contact body 76 on the open posture side. It has a spring 77 or the like as an urging means for urging the bicycle.

Then, in the non-mounted state in which the bicycle 1 is not mounted on the mounting table 12 or in the mounted state in which the bicycle 1 is stored in the mounting table 12, the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b of the bicycle 1 come into contact with the contact body 76. The contact body 76 stands up and is located at the uppermost position, but when the bicycle 1 is pulled out from the platform 12, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 is as shown in FIG. 23. The abutting body 76 is pushed down by the rear wheel 1b, and the second interlocking shaft 43 and the slide member 44 are moved rearward via the interlocking plate 73, the connecting link 71, and 72 interlocking with the abutting body 76. As a result, the slide member 44 is disengaged from the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39, and the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is released. As a result, as will be described later, the pedestal pulling force of the pedestal pulling spring 14 is applied to the pedestal 12, and the pedestal 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage. When the bicycle 1 is taken out from the pedestal 12 toward the front, only the rear wheel 1b of the bicycle 1 is taken out from the pedestal 12 (that is, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 still remains on the pedestal 12). In this state), since a part of the load of the bicycle 1 is still applied to the platform, the platform 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage after the rear wheel 1b of the bicycle 1 is also pulled out. That is, the contact body 76 of the automatic lifting device 70 is moved in contact with the wheels 1a and 1b when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mounting table 12, and is a slide member as a locking portion that prevents the mounting table 12 from rising. The mount 12 is automatically raised to the upper position side in conjunction with the unlocked state in which the 44 is disengaged from the lower upper stopper 39b.

On the other hand, when the bicycle 1 is loaded, as shown in FIG. 24, the contact body 76 is pushed down by the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b of the bicycle 1, whereby the interlocking plate 73, the connecting links 71, 72, and the first wheel 1 are pushed down. 2 The interlocking shaft 43, the slide member 44, and the like are not moved, and the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is not released and is maintained. That is, when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the platform 12, the automatic lifting device 70 does not automatically raise the platform 12 to the upper position side even if the bicycle 1 is mounted on the platform 12. That is, when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mounting table 12, the contact body 76 tilts and does not interlock the slide member 44 as a locking portion that prevents the mounting table 12 from rising in the unlocked state.

However, when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the platform 12 toward the front, if the bicycle 1 is taken out extremely quickly, the lock (also referred to as a lock) at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is released and the bicycle 1 is empty. Even if the platform 12 is automatically raised, the contact body 76 returns to its original position (standing up and at the uppermost position) and locks again (so-called re-locking) by the time the platform 12 is raised. Therefore, there may be a problem that the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is not released. Therefore, a relock prevention mechanism 80 is provided so as not to cause such a problem.

As shown in FIGS. 14, 26, and 27, the relock prevention mechanism 80 has a moving member 81 whose rear side extends substantially in the depth direction and whose front portion extends diagonally downward from the rear front end, and a connecting frame 12a of the mount 12. A connecting shaft 82 that is mounted via a mounting member 83 to swingably support the moving member 81, and a rear downward extension portion of the slide member 44 that is mounted to the front portion of the moving member 81 via a bracket 84. The locking moving member 81 is mounted while the lock prevention body (so-called latch) 85 composed of a leaf spring or the like that allows the 44a to be locked freely and the rear portion of the moving member 81 is urged in a direction away from the mounting member 83. It is composed of a spring 86 as a urging means connected to the member 83.

When the mounting base 12 is in the lower position, the lower end portion of the moving member 81 abuts on the base 11a of the support column 11 and swings (moves), and the lock prevention body 85 is attached to the rear lower extension portion 44a of the slide member 44. Make a contact. Further, the lock prevention body 85 has a mountain portion 85a that is inclined so that the rear side is slightly upward, and when the mounting table 12 is lowered from the upper stage to the lower stage, it is locked as shown in FIG. It is only in contact with the gently inclined front slope of the mountain portion 85a of the preventive body 85 from above.

However, the bicycle 1 is taken out from the platform 12, and as shown in FIGS. 23 and 25, the contact body 76 is pushed down by the wheels (front wheels 1a and rear wheels 1b) of the bicycle 1, and the second interlocking shaft 43 is pushed down. And when the slide member 44 is moved backward, as shown in FIG. 26, the rear lower extension portion 44a of the slide member 44 gets over the mountain portion 85a of the lock prevention body 85 and is locked, and the slide member 44 moves forward. It is blocked from moving to. As a result, the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is prevented from being performed again, and even when the bicycle 1 is taken out extremely quickly, the slide member 44 is on the lower portion of the lower stopper member 39. The state of being separated from the stopper 39b is maintained, and the lock at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 remains released. That is, in the re-lock prevention mechanism 80, when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mount 12, the slide member 44 as a locking portion for preventing the mount 12 from rising is again stopped at the lower part regardless of the removal speed of the bicycle 1. It prevents the 39b from being locked (becomes locked) and maintains the unlocked state (without relocking).

After that, when the mount 12 rises from the lower position, as shown in FIG. 27, the moving member 81 separates from the base 11a of the support column 11 and swings downward, and the lock prevention body 85 is interlocked with the moving member 81. Then, the slide member 44 is separated from the rear lower extension portion 44a, and the slide member 44 is returned to a state in which it can freely move in the front-rear direction (a state in which it can be engaged (locked) with the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39). Is done. In this embodiment, the moving member 81 is in contact with the base 12a of the mounting 12, but the moving member 81 may be in contact with the installation surface 2 so as to be movable.

As shown in FIGS. 28 to 31, the detachment prevention device 90 for preventing the bicycle 1 from detaching from the mount 12 when the mount 12 is moved to the upper stage is mounted on the front end side surface of the mount body 12b. A side view that is swingably attached via the first swing shaft 91 of the horizontal axis extending to the left and right and is freely abutted against the installation surface 2 by the ground roller 92a attached to the lower end portion. The swinging contact body 92 in the shape of a dogleg, the swinging roller 92b rotatably attached to the rear end of the swinging contact body 92, and the rear side of the swinging contact body 92 move upward. An urging spring 93 as an urging means for urging in the direction (hence, urging in a direction in which the front side provided with the ground roller 92a of the swinging contact body 92 moves downward) and a swinging contact. A swing restricting body 97 that regulates the swing range of the contact body 92, a mounting member 94 attached to the side surface of the front end portion of the mounting body 12b, and a swinging shaft 95 attached to the mounting member 94 in a posture extending back and forth. And, it is equipped with a fall prevention lever 96 that is swingably attached to the left and right around the swing shaft 95, and the upper end 96c is curved to the left so that it can enter between the spokes of the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1. Has been done. In FIGS. 28 to 31 and the like, the relock prevention mechanism 80 is omitted so that the detachment prevention device 90 can be shown in an easy-to-understand manner.

The lower part 96b of the fall prevention lever 96 is inclined so as to be on the right side toward the lower side, and the swing roller 92b is selectively abuttable to the lower part 96b of the fall prevention lever 96 and the upper part 96a of the fall prevention lever 96. ing. That is, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, when the platform 12 is in the lower position, the grounding roller 92a of the rocking contact body 92 comes into contact with the installation surface 2 to cause rocking contact. The swing roller 92b of the body 92 abuts on the lower portion 96 of the fall prevention lever 96 and pushes it down, and the upper portion of the fall prevention lever 96 is laterally (right side) away from the storage position of the front wheel 1a.

On the other hand, when the platform 12 is raised above the lower position, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, the grounding roller 92a of the swinging contact body 92 separates from the installation surface 2 and swings. The swing roller 92b of the contact body 92 moves upward, abuts on the upper portion 96a of the fall prevention lever 96, and moves to the left side, whereby the upper end portion 96c of the fall prevention lever 96 moves between the spokes of the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1. Is moved to the position of. Therefore, when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mount 12, the upper end 96c of the fall prevention lever 96 may be fitted between the spokes of the front wheels 1a of the bicycle 1 and the bicycle 1 may be detached from the mount 12. Be prevented.

In the above configuration, when the bicycle 1 is stored in the bicycle parking device 10, the bicycle 1 is first placed on the mounting table 12 as shown in FIG. 3 (the bicycle 1 is placed). At this time, the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b of the bicycle 1 come into contact with the abutting body 76 of the automatic raising device 70, but at this time, the abutting body 76 is pushed down, whereby the interlocking plate 73 and the interlocking plate 73 are connected. The links 71 and 72, the second interlocking shaft 43, the slide member 44, and the like are not moved, and the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is not released and is maintained.

When the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mounting table 12, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 is mounted on the front extension portion 31b of the rotating mounting body 31 and the rotating mounting body 31 is placed in the a direction as shown by the solid line portion in FIG. It rotates and switches to a mounting posture in which the front extension portion 31b of the rotating mounting body 31 is horizontal. As a result, the lower slide member 37 is in a rearward position via the first interlocking shaft 33, the unlocking transmission member 34, and the interlocking rod 36, and is separated from the lower stopper 39a of the lower stopper material 39 (FIG. Refer to 33, the lock at the lower position of the lower elevating device 8 is released).

When the bicycle 1 is mounted on the platform 12, the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b of the bicycle 1 come into contact with the abutting body 76 of the automatic lifting device 70, but at this time, the abutting body 76 is pushed down. As a result, the interlocking plate 73, the connecting links 71, 72, the second interlocking shaft 43, the slide member 44, and the like are not moved, and the locking at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is not released and is maintained. ..

In this state, the operation unit 17 is operated, for example, as shown in FIG. 25, the upper side of the operation unit 17 is temporarily pushed down (moved to the release position) to the back side (forward) to rotate the operation unit 17. As shown in FIG. 34, the second interlocking shaft 43 and the slide member 44 move rearward via the moving arm 42, the slide member 44 separates from the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39, and the platform elevating device. The locking at the lower position of 7 is released.

As a result, both the platform pulling force of the platform pulling spring 14 and the load pulling force of the load pulling spring 16 are pulled on the platform 12 via the platform lifting device 7 and the lower lifting device 8. Is added, and the platform 12 can be raised with a light force. When the mount 12 is raised and the slide member 44 or the lower slide member 37 reaches the place where the upper stopper material 46 is attached, the slide member 44 temporarily reaches the lower inclined surface of the upper upper stopper 46b of the upper stopper material 46. Even if the pedestal elevating device 7 and the pedestal 12 try to move downward after passing backward, the slide member 44 moves on the horizontally protruding upper surface of the upper lower stopper 46a of the upper stopper material 46. It is locked and prevented from descending, and as a result, as shown in FIGS. 35 and 4, the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is placed is well held in the upper position.

Here, even when the weight of the bicycle 1 mounted on the mount 12 is smaller (lighter) than the predetermined (specified) weight range, the load pulling speed is reduced by the load pulling spring 16. Since the force braking device 60 is provided, the moving speed when the platform 12 rises is reduced, the platform 12 and the bicycle 1 are prevented from suddenly rising, and the user is not hit. Improves safety.

Further, when the mount 12 is raised to some extent, the detachment prevention device 90 for preventing the bicycle 1 from detaching from the mount 12 is activated, and the upper end 96c of the fall prevention lever 96 is between the spokes of the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1. The bicycle 1 is prevented from being detached from the mounting table 12 because it fits into the bicycle, which also improves safety. Further, originally, the installation surface 2 is horizontal and the support column 11 is installed along the vertical line, but in some cases, the support column 11 is installed slightly deviated from the vertical line (or the crust after installation). When the support column 11 is slightly deviated from the vertical line due to fluctuations), the platform 12 moved to the upper stage is slightly tilted, and when the rear of the platform 12 is tilted downward, the platform 12 is tilted. The bicycle mounted on the bicycle 12 may move backward, but according to this configuration, the fall prevention lever 96 fits between the spokes of the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1, so that even in such a case, the bicycle can be moved from the mount 12 to the bicycle. There is also an advantage that 1 can be prevented from moving backward and falling.

Further, when the platform 12 approaches the ascending end, the upper rod 54 of the impact mitigation device 50 comes into contact with the ascending end stopper 51 and is moved while alleviating the impact when reaching the upper stage (rising end). As a result, even if the weight of the bicycle 1 mounted on the mount 12 is smaller (lighter) than the predetermined (specified) weight range, the impact when the mount 12 moves to the ascending end is alleviated and mounted. It is possible to minimize damage to the table 12 and the bicycle 1 and noise caused by a collision at the rising end. As a result, damage to the platform 12 and the bicycle 1 can be minimized, and the reliability of the bicycle parking device 10 can be improved. In addition, since the generation of noise due to a collision is minimized, it is possible to maintain a good usage environment without causing discomfort to users and the like. Further, since the impact mitigation device 50 has a relatively simple configuration, there is an advantage that the impact mitigation device can be configured at a relatively low cost. Further, in the above configuration, as the impact mitigation device 50, the sliding portion 56 is configured to slide while absorbing the impact by air pressure in the main body portion 53, whereby the impact can be absorbed satisfactorily and by any chance. There is an advantage that even if air leaks from the main body 53, it does not cause any trouble. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to use a main body 53 filled with a gas other than oil or air to absorb the impact.

When lowering the bicycle 1 stored in the upper stage, the operation unit 17 moved upward is operated to temporarily push down the upper side of the operation unit 17 to the back side (front) (move it to the release position). As a result, the second interlocking shaft 43 and the slide member 44 move rearward, the slide member 44 is separated from the upper stopper 46b of the upper stopper member 46, and the locking at the upper position of the platform elevating device 7 is released. Will be done. Therefore, the bicycle 1 can be easily (easily) lowered by lowering the platform 12 by holding the operation unit 17 or the like from this state. Then, when the slide member 44 reaches the position where the lower stopper member 39 is attached, the slide member 44 temporarily recedes and passes through the lower inclined surface of the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39. Later, it protrudes forward and is locked from below to the horizontally protruding surface of the lower upper stopper 39b, and even if the mount elevating device 7 and the mount 12 try to rise, they are blocked. As shown, the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is placed is well held in the lower position.

Here, when the bicycle 1 stored in the upper stage is lowered, even if the weight of the bicycle 1 mounted on the platform 12 is larger (heavier) than the predetermined (specified) weight range, the bicycle is wound by the load pulling spring 16. Since the load pulling force braking device 60 that reduces the speed and the pull-out speed is provided, the moving speed when the platform 12 descends is reduced, and the platform 12 and the bicycle 1 are prevented from suddenly descending. It will not hit the user and the safety will be improved.

Further, when the platform 12 approaches the descending end, the lower rod 55 of the impact mitigation device 50 comes into contact with the descending end stopper 52 and is moved while alleviating the impact when reaching the lower stage (descending end). As a result, even when the weight of the bicycle 1 mounted on the mount 12 is larger (heavier) than the predetermined (specified) weight range, the impact when the mount 12 moves to the descending end is alleviated and the bicycle 1 is mounted. It is possible to minimize damage to the table 12 and the bicycle 1 and noise caused by a collision at the descending end. As a result, damage to the platform 12 and the bicycle 1 can be minimized, and the reliability of the bicycle parking device 10 can be improved. In addition, since the generation of noise due to a collision is minimized, it is possible to maintain a good usage environment without causing discomfort to users and the like.

Further, when the mount 12 approaches the lower position, the swing contact body 92 (grounding roller 92a) of the detachment prevention device 90 comes into contact with the installation surface 2, and the upper end 96c of the fall prevention lever 96 is the bicycle 1. Since the bicycle 1 is separated from the spokes of the front wheel 1a, the bicycle 1 can be taken out from the platform 12.

When the mount 12 is lowered to the lower position, the slide member 44 engages with the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39, and the mount lifting device 7 is locked at the lower position. Further, when the bicycle 1 lowered to the lower stage is pulled out from the mounting table 12, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 lifts the bicycle 1 onto the rear extension portion 31a of the rotating mounting body 31, and the rear extension portion 31a is in a horizontal mounting posture. Switch. As a result, the lower slide member 37 is positioned closer to the front via the first interlocking shaft 33, the unlocking transmission member 34, and the interlocking rod 36, and is locked to the lower stopper 39a of the lower stopper material 39. The mount 12 is held at the lower position.

When the bicycle 1 is taken out from the platform 12 toward the front, the platform 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage by the automatic lifting device (auto return device) 70. That is, the contact body 76 of the automatic lifting device 70 is pushed down by the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b of the bicycle 1, the slide member 44 is separated from the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper material 39, and the lower part of the platform lifting device 7 is removed. The locking at the position is released, the mounting force of the mounting spring 14 is applied to the mounting 12, and the mounting 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage. This is convenient because the user can save time and effort such as operating the operation unit 17 of the mounting table 12.

Further, according to the above configuration, when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mount 12 to the front, the mount 12 is always automatically moved to the upper stage by the automatic lifting device 70, so that the lower side slide type bicycle parking device 100 is always used. The operation of moving the pedestal 102 laterally becomes impossible, or the pedestal 102 of the lower bicycle parking device 100 and the pedestal 12 of the bicycle parking device 10 for storing the upper tier come into contact with each other, so that the pedestals 102, 12 There is also an advantage that it can be prevented from being damaged.

That is, if the operation unit 17 is manually operated without using the configuration for automatically raising the bicycle as described above, the operation unit 17 is forgotten to be operated and the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is placed is lifted. If this is not the case, the bicycle parking device 100 of the lower horizontal slide type bicycle parking device 100 cannot be moved even if it is attempted to move laterally, or the bicycle parking device 102 of the lower bicycle parking device 100 and the bicycle parking device for storing the upper stage can be stored. The mount 12 of the device 10 may come into contact with the mount 12, and the mounts 102, 12 and the like may be damaged. Further, the mounting table 12 can be stopped even at the intermediate position between the upper and lower stages, and the same problem may occur even if the mounting table 12 is left at the intermediate position. However, according to the above configuration, when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mounting table 12, the mounting table 12 is always automatically moved to the upper stage by the automatic lifting device 70, so that such a problem does not occur. , Reliability is also improved.

Further, when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mount 12, it is conceivable that the contact body 76 is pushed down by the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b to automatically raise the mount 12. In this case. If the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 fails to be placed on the mounting table 12 when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mounting table 12, the mounting table 12 on which the bicycle 1 is not mounted moves to the upper stage, and manual operation is performed. It is necessary to perform an operation of lowering the platform 12 to the lower stage, which takes a lot of time and effort.

On the other hand, according to the above configuration, when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the mounting table 12, the contact body 76 does not fall down on the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b and automatically rise. Therefore, even if the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 fails to be inserted into the mounting table 12, the mounting table 12 on which the bicycle 1 is not mounted does not automatically move to the upper stage. Therefore, there is no problem that the mounting table 12 that has been automatically moved to the upper stage must be lowered to the lower stage, and it is possible to prevent a lot of labor and time from being spent, and the usability is improved.

Further, as the automatic lifting device 70, a contact body 76 that comes into contact with the wheels (front wheel 1a and rear wheel 1b) when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mount 12 is provided, and the contact body 76 is used on the mount 12 for the bicycle 1. By tilting and not interlocking the slide member 44, which is a locking portion that prevents the mount 12 from rising, in the unlocked state, the bicycle can be mounted from the mount 12 with a relatively simple structure. When 1 is pulled out, the platform 12 is automatically raised to the upper position side, while when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the platform 12, the platform 12 cannot be automatically raised to the upper position side. , Manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, when the bicycle 1 is taken out from the mount 12 toward the front, even if the bicycle 1 is taken out extremely quickly, the contact body 76 is returned to the original position by the time the mount 12 is raised by the re-lock prevention mechanism 80. It is possible to prevent the problem that the lock is not released at the lower position of the mount elevating device 7 due to returning and locking again (so-called re-lock), whereby the mount 12 is surely automatically locked. It is moved to the upper stage and good reliability is maintained.

Further, as the re-lock prevention mechanism 80, the moving member 81 that is moved when reaching the lower position and when rising from the lower position, and the slide as the locking portion in conjunction with the moving member 81 when reaching the lower position. A comparison is made by having a lock prevention body 85 that keeps the member 44 in the unlocked state and switches the slide member 44 to the lockable state in conjunction with the moving member 81 when ascending from the lower position. With a simple structure, it is possible to reliably prevent the problem that the mount 12 is re-locked by the time it rises and the lock at the lower position of the mount lifting device 7 is not released. Since it has a simple structure, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, even if the bicycle 1 is not mounted on the platform 12, the impact is mitigated when the platform 12 approaches the upper position when the platform 12 is automatically raised. The upper rod 54 of the device 50 is configured to come into contact with the rising end stopper 51 and move while alleviating the impact when reaching the upper stage (rising end). However, with this configuration, the magnitude of the platform pulling force of the platform pulling spring 14 and the magnitude of the impact mitigation force of the impact mitigation device 50 do not change much, and in some cases, the platform 12 May stop shortly before reaching the rising edge.

Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of such a problem, a release mechanism (impact mitigation function release mechanism) 110 that cancels the impact mitigation function of the impact mitigation device 50 when the bicycle 1 is not present on the platform 12 is provided. You may. For example, as shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the mounting bracket 58 to which the main body 53 of the impact mitigation device 50 is mounted is swingably supported around the swing shaft 111, and is supported from the mounting bracket 58. An arm portion 112 that protrudes rearward and can rotate integrally is attached. An elevating rod 114 that extends downward and is movably guided up and down by a guide frame 115 is connected to the tip of the arm portion 112 via a connecting shaft 113. A fitting ring 116 is fitted into the elevating rod 114, and the elevating rod 114 is urged downward by the urging spring 117 via the fitting ring 116. Further, the lower elevating device 8 is provided with an abutting metal fitting 118 capable of contacting the elevating rod 114 from below.

When the pedestal 12 is on the lower stage, or when the bicycle 1 is mounted on the pedestal 12 and is on the upper stage, the lower elevating device 8 is directly under the pedestal elevating frame 13 of the pedestal elevating device 7. Since there is a lower elevating frame 15, as shown in FIG. 39, the elevating rod 114 abuts on the abutting metal fitting 118, the main body 53 of the impact mitigation device 50 is in a straight posture, and the lower rod 55 is in the lower position. It abuts on the descending end stopper 52, and at the upper position, the upper rod 54 abuts on the ascending end stopper 51, and the impact is mitigated.

On the other hand, when there is no bicycle 1 on the platform 12 and the bicycle 1 is moved above the descending end, the platform elevating frame 13 of the platform elevating device 7 and the lower elevating frame 15 of the lower elevating device 8 are separated from each other. The elevating rod 114 is in a downward posture, and the main body 53 of the impact mitigation device 50 is in an inclined posture. Therefore, even when the mount 12 moves to the ascending end, the upper rod 54 of the impact mitigation device 50 does not come into contact with the ascending end stopper 51, and as a result, the impact mitigation function of the impact mitigation device 50 is released, and the mount 12 Will surely reach the rising edge.

With this configuration, even when the bicycle 1 is not mounted on the platform 12, when the platform 12 is automatically raised, the platform 12 is raised to the upper position and moved to the upper stage. Therefore, reliability is improved.

Further, in the above embodiment, as the detachment prevention device 90, when the mount 12 is raised to some extent, the fall prevention lever 96 is fitted between the spokes of the front wheels 1a of the bicycle 1, and the bicycle 1 is detached from the mount 12. It is configured to prevent this from happening. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fall prevention lever 96 may be configured to be fitted between the spokes of the rear wheels 1b or between the spokes of the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b. However, since the storage position of the rear wheel 1b is likely to change depending on the size of the bicycle 1, it is preferable to use a configuration in which the fall prevention lever 96 is fitted into the front wheel 1a whose storage position is almost fixed.
