Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot, and more particularly, to improvement of a lift door and unitization of a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The inventor has proposed a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot in which a two-wheeled vehicle is mounted on a pallet and the pallet is moved by a lift between a position facing the loading / unloading space and a stationary shelf (JP-A-2- 194, 278, the same 2-240, 38.
No. 2). When a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles are mounted on a pallet in such a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot, there is a possibility that another person's two-wheeled vehicle is erroneously taken out or the two-wheeled vehicle is carried into a place other than the designated position. This is a loading / unloading space and occurs when one door is provided on the entire surface of the lift. That is, when the door is fully opened, it is possible to take out the motorcycle of another person or carry the motorcycle into a position other than the designated position. Further, when the door is fully opened, small animals such as children and dogs can easily get inside the lift. All of these are dangerous for safety management of the multi-story bicycle parking lot. In addition, the current three-dimensional bicycle parking lot has been designed individually according to the shape of each individual site, and unitization and sharing of parts have been delayed. Therefore, it is expensive, has a long delivery time, and is difficult to repair.

[0003]

The object of the present invention is (1) a motorcycle cannot be carried into a position other than the designated position, (2) a motorcycle of another person cannot be taken out, and (3) a dog or a child lifts by mistake. It is difficult to enter the inside of the building, and (4) to promote the sharing of parts and to provide a multi-story bicycle parking lot that can be easily adapted to any site shape.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a plurality of two-wheeled vehicles are mounted on a pallet, and a pallet is transported by a lift between a stationary shelf and a position facing the loading / unloading space. A large number of fixed shelves are installed in the building to form a unit for a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot.The units are connected in a plane according to the shape of the site to form a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot. In the loading / unloading space, two types of doors, an upper door and a lower door, are provided in front of the lift, the upper door is a single door, and the lower door is a number of motorcycles according to the number of motorcycles accommodated in the pallet. It is a multi-story bicycle parking lot, which is characterized by having individual doors.

[0005]

According to the present invention, at the position facing the loading / unloading space, the upper door of the lift is opened to the entire surface, but the lower door is opened at the designated position for only one motorcycle. For this reason, if the motorcycle of another person is taken out or the motorcycle is to be carried into the wrong position, the motorcycle must be lifted so as to straddle the lower door, which prevents the motorcycle from being stolen or being carried into a position other than the designated position. Since the lower door other than the designated position is not opened, it is possible to prevent small animals such as children and dogs from stealing the eyes of the mother and getting into the lift. In addition, when loading or unloading a motorcycle, if you accidentally put your foot in the lift, you have to go over the lower door. When a person tries to put his / her foot in the lift, it is possible to prevent a person from hitting the closed lower door and getting in the lift.

It is also conceivable to provide two types of doors, an upper door and a lower door, and provide a single individual door for each two-wheeled vehicle instead of providing the lower door as an individual door. However, this method reduces the number of motorcycles that can be accommodated. Since a one-piece door is a long door, a pillar is required between the doors. On the other hand, the lower door according to the present invention is sufficient if it has a height of about a person's knees,
Since the height is low, no columns are required. The widest part of the motorcycle is the saddle. A single door requires a door wider than the saddle. On the other hand, if only the upper door is fully opened, the lower door can have a width narrower than that of the saddle, and the area required for accommodation per unit can be reduced. Since the pillars are not necessary and the width of the lower door can be narrowed to accommodate the two-wheeled vehicle densely, the present invention has a storage capacity of, for example, about 20% as compared with the case where a one-piece door is provided for each two-wheeled vehicle. Can be increased. If the upper door is an individual door for each two-wheeled vehicle and only one lower door is provided, it is easy for children, dogs, etc. to enter the lift through the lower door portion, and even adults can easily put their feet inside the lift. In addition, the width of the upper door must be wider than the saddle of the motorcycle, which reduces the number of cars that can be accommodated.

According to the present invention, the three-dimensional bicycle parking lot is unitized with one lift and the stationary shelves provided on both sides thereof as a unit. Depending on the site shape, such units are connected in both the x and y directions, and this part is used as a loading / unloading space except for some stationary shelves.

In the figure, 54 is a chain belt, 56 is a chain sprocket, and 58 is a gear engaged with the rack 52. When the gear 58 rotates clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 8, the slide 46 moves to the right due to the engagement with the rack 52. At this time the chain belt 54, 5
In No. 4, both ends are fixed to the vicinity of the electromagnet 50 of the slide 50 and the end of the case 44, and the middle is passed through the chain sprocket 56. Therefore, the second slide 48 is further fed to the first slide 46. It will be. As a result,
The slides 46 and 48 are sent out in two steps in the same direction so that the pallet 20 can be sent to the stationary shelf 38. When the gear 58 is rotated counterclockwise, the slide 46,
48 moves to the left side of the figure.

When the pallet 20 is exchanged with the stationary shelf 38, the electromagnet 50 is operated to operate the permanent magnet 2 of the pallet 20.
4 is sucked, and the pallet 20 is fixed to the slide 48 of the lateral feeding device 40. In this state, drive the lateral feed device 40,
When the pallet 20 is fed to the stationary shelf 38, the electromagnet 50 is demagnetized, and the pallet 20 is released from the lateral feeding device 40.
Then, the slides 46 and 48 of the lateral feeding device 40 are returned. When the pallet 20 is taken out from the stationary shelf 38, the above operations are reversed and the slides 46 and 48 are extended to extend the electromagnet 5.
The pallet 20 may be sucked at 0, the slides 46 and 48 may be retracted, and the pallet 20 may be retracted to the lift table 30.

FIG. 11 shows a control block of the embodiment. 6
Reference numeral 0 denotes a lift control unit which, in response to a command from the operation panel 12, lifts and lowers the lifting platform 30 to a position facing the stationary shelf 38 where the target pallet 20 is located, and loads the pallet 20 into and out of the space 2.
Move to the position facing. Reference numeral 62 denotes a lateral feed control unit of the pallet 20, which controls the exchange of the pallet 20 with the elevating table 30 in the lateral feed device 40. A lift position sensor 64 detects whether or not the lift table 30 is stopped at a position facing the loading / unloading space 2. Reference numeral 66 is an upper door control unit, 68 is a lower door control unit, and 70 is a door sensor that detects the open / closed state of the upper door 6 and the lower door 8.

FIG. 12 shows an opening / closing mechanism for the upper door 6 and the lower door 8. Reference numeral 72 is a motor for raising and lowering the upper door, 74 is a gear, and 76 is a balance weight. Reference numeral 78 is a rotary shaft of the lower door 8, 80 is a gear for rotating the lower door, 82 is a belt such as a chain, and 84 is a belt.
Is a stopper provided on the lower door 8, and 86 and 88 are limiters provided on the floor or the like. When the gear 74 is rotated, the upper door 6 moves up and down while being balanced by the weight 76. Next, the gear 80
When is rotated, the lower door 8 rotates between the position indicated by the broken line and the position indicated by the solid line in the figure. Here, the stopper 84 is the limiter 88,
Since it touches 86, the range of motion of the lower door is limited to the range shown. Although the lower door 8 is rotated here, the lower door 8
You may move up and down to open and close.

The operation of the embodiment will be described. The user looks at the indicator light 10 and moves to the operation panel 12 at a position with an empty space.
For example, insert a coin. Then the control computer
The carry-in position is designated by using the indicator light 10, and at the same time, a ticket such as a magnetic tape is issued. This ticket is used for control when the motorcycle is carried out so that the motorcycle at the position specified in the ticket can be taken out. At the same time, the lifting platform 30
Moves to the fixed shelf 38 where the target pallet 20 is,
The pallet 20 is taken out by the lateral feeding device 40 and moved to the carry-in / out space 2. When the lifting platform 30 stops at the position facing the loading / unloading space 2, the sensor 64 detects this,
The upper door 6 and the lower door 8 are unlocked so that they can be opened.

Next, with the mechanism shown in FIG. 12, the upper door 6 is opened, and the lower door 8 is opened at a designated position by one motorcycle. Here, the height of the lower door 8 is, for example, about the height of a person's knee to the heel, preferably about the height of the knee. When the lower door 8 and the upper door 6 are opened, the motorcycle can be loaded or unloaded at a designated position. However, in order to take out the two-wheeled vehicle at another position, the closed lower door 8 must be ridden over, so that the risk of taking out another person's two-wheeled vehicle decreases. In addition, the risk of bringing in a motorcycle to a position other than the designated position is reduced. Furthermore, in order for a child or a dog to enter the lift 30, the lower door 8 must be climbed over, and even if an adult accidentally steps into the lift 30, the lower door 8 must be climbed over. Animal is the elevator 3
The risk of entering zero is reduced. Here, since the lower door 8 has a height as low as a knee, it is not necessary to provide a column. Further, since the lower door 8 does not touch the saddle of the two-wheeled vehicle, for example, the width may be such that the pedal of the bicycle passes through. Therefore, the pallet 20
In addition, it becomes possible to tightly house the motorcycle. When the loading / unloading of the two-wheeled vehicle is completed, the user inputs a message to that effect from the operation panel 12. Then, the upper door 6 and the lower door 8 are closed, and the door sensor 7
When this is detected at 0, the lifting / lowering of the lifting platform 30 is started.
Since the lower door 8 is small, it is unlikely that a person or the like will enter the lift table 30 through this gap. Therefore, if the door sensor 70 detects only the closing of the upper door 6 and permits the movement of the lifting platform 30, the control sequence becomes simple.

FIG. 13 shows a perspective view of the entire three-dimensional bicycle parking lot. Three-dimensional bicycle parking facility 28 for each lift shown in FIG.
Are connected so that the stationary shelves 38 face each other. In addition, the bicycle parking facilities 28 are connected side by side in the depth direction. Then, the space below the two stationary shelves 38, 38 in the center of the drawing becomes the loading / unloading space 2, and when the lifts 28 are connected side by side, the loading / unloading space 2 is connected to form a passage. In the figure, two lifts 28 are arranged in the y direction, but if more lifts 28 are arranged,
A large number of loading / unloading spaces 2 are formed. The number of lifts 28 to be formed in the x direction is determined according to the site or the like.

Now, the only thing that must be changed in design for each individual three-dimensional bicycle parking lot is the height of the lift 28 and the height at which the stationary shelf 38 is piled up due to height restrictions and the like. All other parts can be mass-produced as a unit regardless of the shape of the individual three-dimensional bicycle parking lot. For example, depending on the size of the site
The number of connections of the three-dimensional bicycle parking facility 28 in the x direction is determined, and similarly, the number of connections in the y direction is determined. Depending on the height of the three-dimensional bicycle parking lot,
Although the height of the lift 28 and the number of the fixed shelves 38 piled up vary, all of these parts are common. Therefore, it is possible to adapt to any site shape by reducing the mass production cost by unitizing parts and changing the number of connected individual multi-story bicycle parking facilities.
