Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the installation of a parking device by providing a wheel stopping frame of a rotary step board type, a retraction limiting mechanism and a retraction allowing and inhibiting mechanism. CONSTITUTION:When wheels W of an automobile J having entered a parking space P override a trough part 13 in a treadle wheel stopping frame 1 on a wheel stopping base U, wheel detectors 5a, 5b detect wheels W, and delivers parking data to a timer in a parking meter 3 which initiates the counting of a parking time. When the user pays a necessary amount of money in full, the parking meter 3 delivers a lock release signal which causes a reversible motor to rotate. Thus, a rotor 42 is rotated so as to rearward tilt a lock mechanism 2. Thus, the locking between a latching part 12 of the treadle wheel stopping frame 1 and a cut-out part of a hook member F is released so that the treadle wheel stopping frame 1 may freely oscillate. Thus, the wheels W of an automobile are free from its bound condition, and may freely retract.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple installation type parking device, and more particularly to a parking device which can be easily installed to construct an outdoor parking lot with almost no need to excavate the ground. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The world is truly an overcrowded era of automobiles. In Japan, whether it is a large city or a local city, when going out by car to the city, it is very difficult to find a parking place near the destination. In addition to the relative decrease in the ratio of the number of vehicles in the parking lot to the absolute number of vehicles, the expansion of the no-park area has caused parking difficulties today due to the need to control traffic accidents caused by overcrowding of vehicles. is there.

[0003] In recent years, in order to reduce the difficulty of parking an automobile as much as possible, in recent years, the road side of a relatively low traffic area on a general road is partitioned by a white line to form a parking space, and beside it. Tall parking meter
Measures to install a (toll parking meter) and use it as a paid outdoor parking lot have been actively promoted.

By the way, it is sufficient for a pay outdoor parking lot of this type to have some kind of monetary deciding device installed by the side of the parking space partitioned by white lines, but recently everything is essential. Under the harsh climate of monetary worship, police officers were constantly on the lookout for insidious people who escaped by moneyless parking without paying the parking fee even if there were no guards. Was frequently patrolled and detected a parking violation and was suppressing recidivism.

However, cracking down on money-free parking by frequently observing tolled outdoor parking lots scattered over a wide area in an urban area is in terms of administrative efficiency even in relation to other police activities. It's not a good idea.

[0006] Therefore, recently, when installing a pay outdoor parking lot, an exit blocking pole that can be mechanically moved up and down is buried in the parking space, and the exit blocking pole is used as a tall parking meter. Increasingly, a means of compulsory fee collection that is linked to

However, in order to bury such an exit prevention pole in the parking space, considering that the mechanical portion is buried so that the entire length of the pole of about 40 to 50 cm sinks, it is 60 ~ 70cm must dig up the ground.

[0008] By the way, when it is attempted to use a road such as a downtown area, a red light district, or a government office district or an office district where parking demand is greatest as a pay outdoor parking lot, electric wires and communication lines, gas pipes and Since water pipes, sewer pipes, etc. are buried in a complicated and complicated state, they had to be installed avoiding them, and inevitably the installation location had to be restricted.

[0009]

The present invention has been made in view of the technical bottleneck as described above in the conventional paid outdoor parking lot installation technology, and can effectively and properly suppress the moneyless parking. Almost no need to dig up the ground, and it can be installed easily on busy roads, entertainment districts, roads such as government offices and office districts where parking demand is high, and it can contribute to the efficient creation of outdoor parking lots. To provide a simple installation type parking device.

Another technical problem of the present invention is that the installation work is simple and can be carried out at low cost, and the time for closing roads can be extremely shortened. The construction cost is low and the construction period is shortened. It is to provide a parking device suitable for an outdoor parking lot.

Further, another technical object of the present invention is to provide a parking device at a low cost, which can surely and swiftly permit or deny the entry / exit of a vehicle, has a simple structure, and has few failures.

[0012]

Means adopted for solving the technical problems Means adopted by the inventor for solving the above technical problems will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, according to the present invention, an intermediate portion between the front end portion 11 and the rear end portion 12 is bent in a widthwise direction in a valley fold shape, and the valley fold portion 13 is pivotally supported in the width direction to move forward and backward. And a trade plate wheel stop frame 1 which is a swingable wheel stop device installed on the parking space P so as to be swingable in any direction; and a rear end 12 of the trade wheel stop frame 1 receives a load of a wheel W. The lock mechanism 2 locks the wheel stopper frame 1 in a posture in which the rear end portion is lowered when it is lowered, and sandwiches the wheel W between the stopper St and the lifted wheel stopper frame front end portion 11 to prevent the wheel mechanism 1 from exiting. Exit control measures;
When a lock release signal is input from the parking meter 3, the lock mechanism 2 releases the lock of the trade lock wheel stop frame 1 to allow the wheel W to exit.
The gist resides in that a simple installation type parking device that can satisfy the above-described technical problems is configured by linking with the advancing / retreating means.

【Example】

The present invention will be illustrated in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, P is a parking space defined by partitioning a white line WL on the side of the road. In this parking space P, a car stop base U having a trade wheel stop frame 1 pivotally mounted is fixed to a position where a wheel W (front wheel in the illustrated example) of an entering vehicle J should arrive, and the side opposite the roadway. The vehicle is electrically connected to the parking meter 3 installed at the corner of the parking space P via the pipe C.

The appearance of the car stop base U is as shown in FIG. 3, and an intermediate portion between the front end 11 and the rear end 12 is bent on the base U in the width direction in a valley fold ∨ shape. The trade-off wheel stopper frame 1 formed by the above is pivotally supported in the width direction at the ∨-shaped valley fold portion 13, and is mounted so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction. It should be noted that the idle end roller 11a is provided at the front end 11 of the trade wheel suspension frame 1.
Is mounted so that it can rotate freely, and the wheels of an automobile trying to escape unfairly are prevented from spinning over.

On the other hand, the rear end portion 12 of the tradel wheel stop frame 1 is opposed to the stopper St, and when the wheel W of the entering vehicle enters deeper than the valley fold portion 13, the load thereof is the trader wheel stop. The rear end 12 of the frame is lowered, and when it reaches the lower limit position, it is locked by a lock mechanism 2 to be described later provided on the base U, and the wheel W concerned has the front end 11 lifted up. It gets stuck between the stopper and the stopper St and cannot move.

As the locking mechanism 2 in this embodiment, however, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an upright hook whose lower portion is pivotally supported by a pivot pin 24 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction. The member F is adopted, and the upper portion of the hook member F is pulled downward from the front by the tension coil spring 22 to apply a biasing force in the forward tilting direction. In the hook member F, the front edge of the upper part is formed in the front downward direction to form the inclined portion 21, and the front middle portion of the hook member located below the inclined portion is cut away in a concave shape to form the notch portion 23. Is forming. The inclined portion 21 of the hook member F is located on the movement locus of the engaging portion 12a projecting inside the rear end portion 12 of the tradel wheel stop frame 1, and the rear end portion 12 of the trader wheel stop frame 1 is located. When the wheel is lowered by the load of the wheel W, the engaging portion 12a comes into contact with the inclined portion 21 of the hook member F, is guided by the inclined surface and slides down there to reach the notch 23 in the middle abdomen. When the engaging portion 12a of the trade wheel stopper frame 1 reaches the notch portion 23, the hook member F tilts forward due to the action of the tension coil spring 22, and the engaging portion 12a enters the notch portion 23 and is meshed with each other. The wheel stopper frame 1 is locked in that state in a state in which it cannot be swung. In order to reduce the frictional resistance with the hook member F, a rotatable roller as shown in FIG. 8 is adopted as the engaging portion 12a protruding inside the rear end portion 12 of the trade wheel suspension frame. .. Further, what is indicated by reference numeral 12b in FIG. 9 is an idle roller provided at the rear end portion 12 of the tradel wheel stop frame 1 and cooperates with the idle roller 11a provided at the front end portion 11.

On the other hand, the upper portion of the hook member F constituting the lock mechanism 2 is connected to the rotor 42 by the wire 42a, and the rotor 42 is rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise in FIG.
When it is rotated about a degree, the hook member F tilts backward and leaves the engaging portion 12a of the trade lock wheel stop frame 1 and the notch 23 of the hook member F to be unlocked and the wheel W retracts to make a trade. By moving in the direction of the front end 11 beyond the valley fold 13 of the wheel suspension frame 1, the rear end 12 of the trade wheel suspension frame 1 rises upward. Thus, the Tradel Wheel Brake 1 is at the front end
11 goes down and becomes a parking waiting pose.

In this embodiment, a reversible motor 41 with a speed reducer is used as a means for rotating the rotor 42, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 41 is performed through a chain 42b, a sprocket wheel 42c and a rotating shaft 42d. It has a structure in which it is rotationally transmitted to the rotor 42, and as a whole, constitutes a lock release mechanism 4 for the trade wheel block. By the way, in FIGS. 4 and 6, what is indicated by reference numeral 42f is a limit switch (proximity switch) installed as a sensor for reversing the reversible motor 41 and the rotor 42 to the original posture position.
Is connected to the power input section of the relay by a relay (not shown), and detects the tilt position where the lock between the engaging portion 12a of the trade lock wheel frame 1 and the notch 23 of the hook member F is released. It is installed so that you can do it. In the present embodiment, the limit switch 42f is set so that the reverse operation of the reversible motor 41 is performed after 5 minutes in consideration of the leaving time of the vehicle.
A delay circuit (not shown) is provided between the reversible motor 41 and the reversible motor 41.

Next, in FIG. 6, the reference numerals (5a and 5b) indicate a light emitting and receiving type wheel detector, which is connected to the parking meter through a lead wire (not shown) passed through the pipe C. It has a function to send parking information to the timer of 3. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the vehicle enters the parking space P and gets over the valley fold 13 of the tradel wheel stop frame 1 on the car stop base U, the wheel W comes in. Wheel detectors (5a and 5b) detect wheels W,
The electric parking information is sent to the timer of the parking meter 3 to start counting the parking time.

In this way, when the car parked in the parking device of this embodiment leaves, it is necessary to settle the usage fee according to the parking time counted by the timer of the parking meter 3. In this embodiment, since the currency coin settlement method is adopted as the settlement method, the user inserts a coin corresponding to the usage charge displayed by the parking meter 3 into the coin slot (not shown). Otherwise, exit is not allowed, and when the user has paid the amount, the parking meter 3 outputs a lock release signal and the reversible motor is released.
Rotate 41 to rotate rotor 42 to lock mechanism 2 (=
Tilt the hook member F) backward.

When the lock mechanism 2 is tilted backward and tilted at an angle such as the chain double-dashed line in FIGS.
Since the lock between the engaging portion 12a of the vehicle and the notch 23 of the hook member F is released, the swing of the trade lock wheel stop frame 1 becomes free, so that the wheel W of the automobile is unconstrained and freely exits. It will be possible. In this embodiment, after the settlement, 5
If the trade-off wheel chock 1 is not escaped within a minute, the wheels W are locked again and the timer counts the parking time.

The examples showing the content of the present invention by way of example are generally as described above, but the present invention is by no means limited to the above-mentioned examples, and within the scope of the claims. Various design changes can be made. Especially, regarding the lock mechanism 2 and the lock release mechanism 4, depending on the specific situation of the site where the parking device is to be installed and the specific demands in manufacturing, the technical common sense of a person skilled in the art can be applied. It goes without saying that appropriate modifications can be made to the group. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the reversible motor 4 is used as the lock release mechanism 4.
Although the one in which the rotor 42 and the wire 42a are associated with each other is adopted, instead of this, it is also possible to replace with an air cylinder as shown in FIG. 7, or instead of the notch 23 of the hook member F. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a mechanism is also effective in which a hooking roller 23a is projectingly provided on the inner surface of the hook member F, and the back end 11 of the trade wheel stop frame 1 is hooked on the hooking roller 23a. This is a matter that the inventor can arbitrarily select when a design change is necessary, and belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.

When the parking apparatus of this embodiment is carried out, the photoelectric vehicle detector 6 is installed toward the parking position as shown in FIG. 2, and the vehicle into which the vehicle detector 6 has entered is installed. Although it is detecting, the above wheel detector (5a ・ 5
It is easy for the present inventor to add a cautioning means such as blinking the rotary warning lamp 7 to call a driver's attention when b) does not detect the wheel W according to the design requirement. It is a minor change that can be adopted for
Obviously, it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.
