As shown in FIG. 6, a portion of the horizontal shaft 9 between the sprocket 12 and the boss 17 for locking has a plurality of semicircular concave grooves 20 formed on the outer periphery over a range of approximately 90 degrees. 7 is fitted around the cam 21, and a bracket 22 is arranged in the vicinity of the cam 21 such that the tip of the cam 21 is sandwiched from both sides in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal shaft 9 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. A long groove 23 formed horizontally on the cam 21 in the radial direction of the cam 21 slides along the long groove 23 to move back and forth, and can be inserted into and removed from the groove 20 of the cam 21. Has been inserted. Thus, when the flap 10 is laid down as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 and is inclined obliquely downward from the horizontal shaft 9 side toward the tip, the lock pin 24 is the lowest part of the groove 20 of the cam 21. The lower end step portion 25 on the outer circumference of the cam 21 engages with the edge portion of the base portion 26 of the bracket 22, so that the lowermost groove 20 of the cam 21 is more than the lock pin 24. The rotation of the cam 21 can be restricted so that the cam 21 is not positioned upward.

A solenoid 28, which is a second actuator, is installed on another bracket 27 installed behind the bracket 22, and the tip of the movable part of the solenoid 28 is directed horizontally to the outer peripheral part of the lock pin 24. Between the lever 30 fixed to the outer periphery of the lock pin 24 vertically downward and the tip of the bracket 31 projecting downward of the horizontal shaft 9 in front of the bracket 22. A coil spring 32 for constantly pulling the lock pin 24 toward the cam 21 is provided in the.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 9, two limit switch dogs 33 and 34 are externally fitted to a portion between the bracket 6 and the sprocket 12 of the horizontal shaft 9, and the flap 10 is laid down. The limit switch 35 can be operated by the dog 33 when it is present, and the limit switch 36 can be operated by the dog 34 when the flap 10 is upright. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, on the base plate 4, the limit of the entry check is made so that the wheels of the vehicle 37 ride on the flap 10 which is lying down and the limit switch dog 63 operates when the flap 10 is deformed. A switch 38 is provided.

The charge adjusting device 3 includes a casing 39 and an upper part of the casing 39 in which respective parts other than the flap 10 attached to the horizontal shaft 9 of the flap device 2, the actuator 13, the solenoid 28, etc. can be stored in the lower part. 11 including the arithmetic and control unit 40 shown in FIG. 11 and a power supply lamp 41, a charge display section 42, a coin insertion section 43, a bill insertion section 44, a change payout section 45 and the like are provided on the front surface of the casing 39. Has been.

The casing 39 is made of a microcomputer, for example, an entry confirmation section 46 for detecting that the entry switch limit switch 38 shown in FIG. 10 is turned on and confirming that the vehicle 37 has entered, The confirmation command 47 from the entry confirmation unit 46 is given, and a car lock operation command output unit 49 that outputs the car lock operation command 48 after a few seconds has passed and the car lock operation command output unit 49 gives the car lock operation command 48. When the parking time is calculated, the parking time calculation unit 50 starts the calculation of the parking time, the charge calculation unit 52 calculates the parking charge by the parking time signal 51 from the parking time calculation unit 50, and the charge signal 53 from the charge calculation unit 52. The payment signal 56 from the payment unit 54 is compared to settle the charge, and the change 58 is set up based on the payment signal 57 from the charge adjustment unit 56. Based on the change-out mechanism 59 for paying out to the change-out unit 45 (see FIG. 1), the settlement signal 57 from the charge settlement unit 56 or the payout signal 60 from the change-out mechanism 59, the solenoid 28 and the actuator 13 are controlled by the car. A car lock release command output unit 62 that outputs a lock release command 61 is provided.

Further, the car lock operation command output section 49 gives a car lock operation instruction 48 to the solenoid 28 so that the solenoid 28 can be operated. From the charge calculation section 52 to the charge display section 42. The charge signal 53 can be given.

Further, the deposit unit 54 may be a conventionally known one, and when the coin is inserted from the coin insertion portion 43 or the bill is inserted from the bill insertion portion 44, a deposit signal 55 can be given to the charge settlement unit 56. ing.

When the vehicle has not entered, the flap 10 is rotated by the actuator 13 and laid down as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, and the limit switch dog 33 is provided with the limit switch as shown in FIG. Although 35 is turned on, the limit switch dog 34 has the limit switch 36 turned off, and as shown in FIG. 10, the limit switch 38 for confirming entry is also turned off. Therefore, the actuator 13 is stopped, the solenoid 28 is turned off, and the lock pin 24 is pulled by the coil spring 32 and fitted into the lowermost groove 20 among the grooves 20 of the cam 21 as shown in FIG. However, the flap 10 is in a locked state.

For example, when the vehicle 37 enters the flap device 2 from the side of the tread 11 and the wheels pass over the tread 11 and ride on the flap 10, the weight of the vehicle causes the flap 10 to bend, and a limit switch 38 for entering the vehicle is confirmed. Is activated by the limit switch dog 63 and turned on. Therefore, a signal is sent from the limit switch 38 to the entry confirmation section 46 of the arithmetic and control unit 40, and when the entry confirmation section 46 confirms entry of the car 37, the entry confirmation section 46 outputs the car lock operation command output section. A confirmation command 47 is given to 49.

When the confirmation command 47 is given to the car lock operation command output unit 49, a car lock operation command 48 is output from the car lock operation command output unit 49 after a few seconds, and the parking time calculation unit 50 and the solenoid are operated. 28, the parking time calculation unit 50 starts the calculation of the parking time, and the solenoid 28 operates the solenoid 28. Therefore, the lock pin 24 overcomes the drag force of the coil spring 32 and separates from the groove 20 of the cam 21. And retracts to the base end side of the long groove 23, and the pulling force of the coil spring 19 imparts a rotational force to the horizontal shaft 9 via the arm 16, so that the horizontal shaft 9 rotates clockwise in FIGS. Then, the flap 10 stands up obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal axis 9 side as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 3, and the limit switch dog 34 causes the limit switch to switch. Chi 36 turns on. Therefore, the car lock operation command output unit 49 does not give the car lock operation command 48 to the solenoid 28, the solenoid 28 is turned off, and the lock pin 24 is pulled by the tensile force of the coil spring 32 to slide in the long groove 23. Then, the cam 10 is fitted into the groove 20 located above the lowermost groove 20 of the cam 21, so that the flap 10 is locked in an upright state, and the car 37 also stops in the parking compartment. It becomes locked. Which groove 20 of the cam 21 the lock pin 24 fits into depends on the vehicle height of the vehicle 37 and the like.

Since the flap 10 is erected by the pulling force of the coil spring 19 and the actuator 13 does not need to be operated, power consumption can be saved and energy can be saved. Further, since the flap 10 is upright, the car 37 cannot get out of the parking area.

While the vehicle 37 is parked, the parking time calculation unit 50 of the calculation control device 40 counts the parking time, and the parking time signal 51 is given to the charge calculation unit 52. The charge calculation unit 52 calculates the parking time. A charge is calculated based on the signal 51, and a charge signal 53 is output from the charge calculating unit 52 based on the calculated charge and is supplied to the charge settlement unit 56 and the charge display unit 42. Thus, when parking is continued, the fare signal 53 gradually increases, and the fare displayed on the fare display section 42 also increases with time.

When the car 37 goes out of the parking area and the charge is deposited from the coin insertion unit 43 or the bill insertion unit 44 to the deposit unit 54 in the charge settlement device 3, the deposit unit 54 sends a deposit signal 55 to the charge. The amount is provided to the settlement unit 56, and the fee settlement unit 56 computes excess or deficiency of the fee and change based on the fee signal 53 from the fee calculation unit 52 and the fee signal 53 from the deposit unit 54. As a result of calculation by the charge settlement unit 56, if there is no shortage of charges and no change is required, the settlement signal 57 is directly given to the car lock release command output unit 62, and if change is required, the settlement signal 57 is sent. It is given to the change payout mechanism section 59. Further, the change 58 is paid out from the change payout mechanism unit 59 to the change payout unit 45, and a payout signal 60 is given to the car lock release command output unit 62.

When the settlement signal 57 or the payout signal 60 is given to the car lock release command output unit 62, the car lock release command output unit 62 gives a car lock release command 61 to the solenoid 28 and the actuator 13. For this reason, the solenoid 28 is actuated, the lock pin 24 is disengaged from the groove 20 of the cam 21, retracts toward the base end side of the long groove 23 of the bracket 22, and then power is supplied to the actuator 13 to cause the actuator 13 to operate. Accordingly, the horizontal shaft 9 overcomes the drag force of the coil spring 19 and rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 4 via the sprocket 14, the chain 15, and the sprocket 12, and the flap 10 moves from the phantom line position in FIG. Turn to the position and lie down.

When the limit switch dog 33 actuates the limit switch 35 and turns it on, the actuator 13 stops in response to the command, the solenoid 28 also turns off, and the lock pin 24 is pulled by the coil spring 32. Then, the cam 10 is fitted in the groove 20 at the bottom of the cam 21, and the flap 10 is locked in a tilted state in which the flap 10 is inclined downward from the horizontal shaft 9 side. Therefore, the vehicle 37 can get over the flap 10 and the tread 11 of the flap device 2 and start outside the parking area.

In the present embodiment, since the car lock device 1 is configured by combining the flap device 2 and the charge adjustment device 3, both coins and bills can be selected without the need for a special charge adjustment device. Since the change 58 can be refunded when the fee is settled, the user does not have to prepare a change for the settlement, and therefore, does not feel bothersome. It is convenient.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the case of confirming entry by the limit switch has been described. However, it is also possible to perform the confirmation by a photoelectric tube having a light transmitting unit and a light receiving unit. Standing up may be done by an actuator such as a motor instead of using a coil spring, and various conventionally known lock mechanisms can be used to prevent the flap from rotating. It is possible to replace a 500-yen bill or a 500-yen coin with a 100-yen coin, or to provide an exchange device for changing a 1000-yen bill to a 500-yen coin or a 100-yen coin. Of course, various changes can be made within the range not to do.
