Description

The present invention relates to a parking lot for vehicles that has multiple or more garages, each of which is provided with a mailbox, plumbing facilities, and storage space, and in which the space inside the vehicle is used as living space.

When fully autonomous vehicles are put into practical use, people will be freed from the task of driving. In addition, the driver's seat will be eliminated, making it possible to have more space inside the car. For vehicles that travel long distances, it would not be surprising if models with room-like interiors were developed to make travel time more comfortable, and people would be able to live almost entirely inside the car. However, under current Japanese law, vehicles cannot be registered as addresses. Therefore, we provide parking spaces that can be registered as addresses in vehicles with room-like interiors. Currently, there are camper vans as vehicles with room-like interiors, and there are quite a few people who live in camper vans. People who live in camper vans register their addresses at the homes of relatives or acquaintances. Currently, people who live in camper vans are mainly people who travel, and there is little benefit to paying a monthly fee to sign a contract for a fixed parking space. However, it is expected that many people who want fully autonomous vehicles with room-like interiors are people who have jobs and live in one place to a certain extent. Although the present invention is based on the assumption that fully autonomous vehicles will be put into practical use, it can also be used in passenger cars driven by people.

JP 2018-162591 A Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0047580 JP 2010-203177 A Application No. 03-067605 JP 2006-118218 A JP 06-299719 A JP 06-047519 A JP 05-094468 A

It is difficult for people with low incomes to own both a home and a car. Currently, under Japanese law, it is not possible to register a vehicle as an address, so if there is a choice between a home and a car, the home will be chosen. This will lead to an unstoppable trend of people concentrating in cities with good transportation access and people leaving the countryside. This invention provides addresses and privacy for fully automated vehicles with interior spaces like rooms. By establishing facilities of this invention all over the country, it will be possible for even people with low incomes to own a home and a car, and the aim is to stimulate the economy by increasing the flow of people.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, a parking lot for residential vehicles according to claim 1 is characterized in that it comprises a garage without multiple living rooms , and is a garage for storing residential vehicles whose interior space is used as living space, and is equipped with a mailbox for each of the garages, and is capable of installing a storage shed for each of the garages adjacent to each of the garages , and is equipped with a common building connected to the garage and equipped with plumbing facilities .

The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, except that an entrance is provided so that the user can move directly from the garage to the storage shed for the garage.

The present invention relates to a residential vehicle parking system that operates a number of residential vehicle parking lots as described in claim 1 , and enables the storage sheds for each garage to be moved to the garages of other residential vehicle parking lots operated by the same company when a user moves.

The present invention is configured as described above, and has the effects described below. When the mechanism according to claim 1 is used, it is possible to provide facilities for living inside a vehicle. What makes it different from existing parking lots is that it is premised on the user living inside the vehicle parked in the garage. Having a garage prevents unauthorized parking. Garages are also necessary to ensure privacy, block environmental noise, and provide insulation.

Each user's address can be registered as the address of a common building where toilets and other facilities are located. Mailboxes can be installed in each garage or in the common building. This invention is different from parking lots or motels that are used by an unspecified number of people. Mailboxes are a necessary facility for users to reside for a long period of time.

Water facilities are essential for daily life, but installing them in each garage would increase costs. If the rent becomes too high, there will be no benefit to having a parking lot for residential vehicles. Therefore, installing water facilities in the common building will reduce costs. A tray is essential, but a kitchen and bath are not. It is also a good idea to have a corridor connecting each garage to the common building so that people can move around safely even in wind and rain. It would also be possible to appoint a manager in the common building to maintain the various facilities. A manager could be selected from among the users and the rent could be reduced for that person.

You may install storage shelves and other items inside the garage. However, a room is not required. It would be convenient to have a bedroom or other room, but this would be subject to tax as floor space, which would increase the fees.

As people live, their possessions increase through consumption activities and other factors. This creates a need for storage sheds to store these items. While a storage shed is not necessary in a parking lot that is simply used to park a car, it is convenient to have a storage shed in a parking lot for residential vehicles. For this reason, it would be a good idea to make it possible to install a storage shed for each garage.

This invention is primarily intended for a time after fully autonomous vehicles have been put into practical use. With a fully autonomous vehicle, even if your commute takes 2-3 hours, you will be able to travel to your workplace while you sleep, have breakfast, get changed and head to work after arriving at the company parking lot, and even go straight to your room after finishing work, eliminating the disadvantage of long-distance commutes.

Existing vehicles can also be used. However, if the vehicle is gasoline-powered, there is a risk of oxygen deficiency if the garage is not equipped with a ventilation fan. Also, if the living space inside the vehicle is small, there is a risk of developing economy class syndrome, so a vehicle such as a camper is preferable.

There are inventions that provide storage facilities in parking lots, such as those in Patent Documents 6, 7, and 8, but these differ from the present invention in that they do not have plumbing facilities or a mailbox, which are necessary for a place where people can live.

When the mechanism according to claim 2 is used, by providing an entrance so that the vehicle can move directly from the garage to the storage shed, it becomes possible to move items to the storage shed without going outside. In this case, it is necessary to provide a dedicated entrance to the storage shed in the garage and align it with the entrance to the storage shed.

When the system described in claim 3 is used, the storage shed for each garage can be relocated to the garage of another residential vehicle parking lot operated by the same operating body when the user moves, eliminating the need to take the trouble of moving the contents of the storage shed when moving, and improving the convenience of moving.

One of the benefits of using a vehicle as living space is the ease of moving. However, if you have a lot of luggage, packing it up becomes a hassle and moving becomes less easy. If you move the storage shed as well, you can save on that hassle. To do this, it is necessary to establish standards for storage sheds that can be easily moved and set up, and to operate a large number of residential vehicle parking lots where such storage sheds can be set up.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a mode for carrying out the invention. 1 is a part of a diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1 is a top view showing an embodiment of the invention. 1 is a part of a diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. Fig. 1 is a floor plan of a parking lot for residential vehicles. There are five garages (2), and a vehicle (1) can be parked in each garage (2). A storage room (3) is attached to each garage (2). Each garage (2) is connected to a common building by a corridor (6a). The common building (18) is equipped with a toilet (4), a washbasin (7), a laundry space (5), a management office (9), a corridor (6b), and a front door (8). The floor of the common building may be a dirt floor. There may be a bathroom, but this is not necessary if there is a public bath nearby. Also, if there is a coin laundry nearby, the laundry space (5) is not necessary. If the number of toilets (4) is less than the number of garages (2), it is a good idea to provide a system that allows the availability of the toilets (4) to be checked using a smartphone or the like.

Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the garage (2) in Figure 1. A vehicle (1) is parked in the garage (2). A storage shed (3) is installed next to the garage (2). A shutter (16) is installed in the garage (2) for taking the vehicle (1) in and out, and a sliding door (13) is installed for users to enter and exit the corridor (6a). A window (11) is installed on one side of the garage (2) and a high window (12) on the other side to prevent direct line of sight with neighbors. The space in the garage (2) is much larger than the width of the vehicle (1) so that a storage shelf (14) can be installed. A mailbox (17) is installed next to the shutter (16), but it may be installed in a shared building. Since the present invention is mainly intended for use with electric vehicles, a vehicle charging device (15) is installed in the garage (2). If gasoline-powered vehicles are parked there, ventilation equipment is required.

Figure 3 is a top view of Figure 1. This is an example of a case where a storage shed is rented under a contract separate from the garage. There is a garage (2a) with a storage shed (3a) installed, and a garage (2b) without a storage shed (3a). The unused storage shed (3b) is placed in a storage shed storage area (20) on the site (10). By storing the unused storage shed in the storage shed storage area (20), it becomes easy to install a storage shed from another residential vehicle parking lot. The storage shed may be placed in the storage shed storage area (20) and used without being attached to the garage. The unused storage shed (3b) may be transferred when there is no storage shed in another residential vehicle parking lot operated by the same operating parent. This operating method allows storage sheds to be shared between residential vehicle parking lots operated by the same operating parent, so when multiple residential vehicle parking lots are operated, the number of unused storage sheds in stock can be reduced.

Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the garage (2) in Figure 1, and is an example of how to allow direct access to the storage shed (3) from the garage (2). The storage shed (3) is installed next to the garage (2). The garage (2) has a sliding door (13b) for accessing the storage shed (3), and the storage shed (3) has a sliding door (13c) for accessing the garage (2). The sliding door (13b) and the sliding door (13c) are adjacent to each other.

Figure 5 is a three-dimensional perspective view of Figure 1. A garage (2) is connected to a corridor (6b) connected to a common building (18), and a storage room (3) is provided next to the garage (2). The vehicle (1) is preferably a vehicle with high livability, such as a camper van.

If the vehicle parked in the garage of this invention were a fully autonomous vehicle, even in a location where the commute time is 2 to 3 hours, it would be possible to travel to the office while sleeping, have breakfast after arriving at the company parking lot, get changed, and go to work, or immediately spend the day in your room after finishing work. This would eliminate the disadvantage of long-distance commutes, creating demand for it as a place to live even in places far from train stations.

If the facilities of this invention were to spread throughout Japan, it would have the advantage of making it extremely easy for people who do not need to commute to work, such as those who work remotely. For example, it would be possible to change one's place of residence depending on the season; people who do not like the heat could move north in the summer, and those who do not like the cold could move south in the winter, reducing the energy used for air conditioning.

Normally, when people move, they have to get rid of the house they are currently living in, so it is not something they can do easily. Even when local governments suffering from depopulation offer various benefits and encourage people to move, not many people respond. However, with the facility of this invention, it is easy to have people try living there. Even if they do not move, they can stay for just a weekend as if it were a vacation home, which can encourage the flow of people from cities to rural areas.
