DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus capable of parking a bicycle in two upper and lower stages so that the bicycle can be efficiently parked on a limited area of land. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional bicycle parking device capable of effectively and efficiently parking a bicycle in a small land.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, two-tiered bicycle parking devices have been developed which can efficiently park bicycles on a limited area of land, and are installed around stations, shopping streets and the like. It is effective against the problem of annoying bicycle parking.

[0003] Various types of bicycle parking devices have been proposed as bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking devices capable of parking a bicycle in two vertical stages. The structure of a conventional bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking device will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. In the lower stage, a lower guide rail 1 for guiding and mounting a bicycle 8 to be parked is laid on a floor surface 7. On the upper side of the lower guide rail 1 in the vertical direction, a groove-shaped or lip-groove-shaped steel member whose upper part is opened through a frame 6 composed of a horizontal beam provided on a column having a predetermined height. , The center line 1a parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lower guide rail 1 coincides with the center line 2a parallel to the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 2 in a plan view. In this state, the fixed guide rail 2 is fixed substantially horizontally, and the movable guide rail 3 which is made of a grooved or hat-shaped grooved steel having an open upper portion and on which a bicycle is placed is fixed. Moveable inside guide rail 2 The guide member 4 is formed on the inner surface of the fixed guide rail 2 or the outer surface of the movable guide rail 3, and the engaging roller 5 that engages with the guide member 4 forms the guide member 4. The movable guide rail 3 is provided on the movable guide rail 3 or the fixed guide rail 2 on the opposite side to the fixed guide rail 2 or the movable guide rail 3, and the movable guide rail 3 is inclined at the final stage of being pulled out. Or, it had a structure that sloped almost directly in proportion to the length of pulling out.

In such a structure, the labor required for pulling out and tilting the movable guide rail 3 when loading / unloading the bicycle to / from the upper tier, and the work of lifting and pushing the movable guide rail 3 are low when the bicycle is parked on the upper tier. It can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the fixed guide rail 2 is fixed at a position as low as possible without coming into contact with the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1, and is generally the most widely used 26-inch type. Assuming that the bicycle 8 is parked on the lower guide rail 1, the 26-inch type bicycle 8 is parked on the lower guide rail 1 and does not come into contact with the bicycle 8 and does not contact the bicycle 8. 8
The fixed guide rail 2 is fixed such that its lower surface is located at a predetermined height position close to and above.

Here, in the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1, the highest position is often the grip of the handle 8c, so that the fixed guide rail 2 is positioned as low as possible. 26 inch bicycle 8 with handle 8c
Is fixed vertically above the lower guide rail 1 so that the bicycle can be parked in a state where the grip of the lower guide rail does not abut.

However, the above-mentioned conventional bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus has a bicycle with a rear car provided with a rear car on which a luggage or a child is placed above a rear wheel carrier. The bicycle parking facilities in the upper row were not configured as expected. However, in recent years, bicycles with a rear basket having a high rear end at which a rear basket for carrying luggage and children are provided on the upper part of the rear wheel carrier have become widespread. Since a weak woman often rides, there has been a demand for a bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking device that can be parked on the lower guide rail 1.

[0007] Bicycle 8 with rear basket 8d on lower guide rail 1
In order to park the bicycle, when the fixed guide rail 2 is fixed at the lowest possible position as described above and the movable guide rail 3 inserted is pulled out and inclined, the movable guide rail 3 The rear end of the fixed guide rail 2 is located above the rear car 8d of the bicycle 8 which is parked on the lower guide rail 1 because the rear end of the fixed guide rail 2 must be configured so as not to contact the rear car 8d. Otherwise, the movable guide rail 3 inclined as shown in FIG. 3 will contact the rear car 8d of the bicycle 8.

However, when the movable guide rail 3 inserted into the fixed guide rail 2 is pulled out and inclined, the movable guide rail 3 is inclined from the rear end of the fixed guide rail 2, so that the rear end of the fixed guide rail 2 is inclined. After the part is parked on the lower guide rail 1 as described above, the car 8d
Due to being positioned above the rear car 8d of the attached bicycle 8, the amount by which the rear end of the movable guide rail 3 protrudes rearward increases. Therefore, a large space is required behind the three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus, and as a result, a relatively large area of land is required to install the conventional three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus.

Further, the fixed guide rails 2 into which the lower guide rails 1 and the movable guide rails 3 are inserted are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the frame 6.
The operation of placing the bicycle on the movable guide rail 3 inclined so that the rear end is located downward is performed by directly viewing the bicycle that has moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 with the movable guide rail 3. There is a drawback that the amount of changing the direction of the bicycle is large and troublesome because the change is made after changing the direction to the direction on the line.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and allows bicycles to be parked vertically in two tiers so that bicycles can be efficiently parked on a limited area of land. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking device capable of effectively and efficiently parking a bicycle in a narrow land as a bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking device capable of performing the above-mentioned operations.

[0011]

The inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, the space required behind the movable guide rail which is inclined when carrying the bicycle in and out of the upper stage is reduced, In order to be able to park bicycles effectively by using limited land,
Note that the rear end of the movable guide rail that will be positioned at the rearmost position should be located as far forward as possible, and that the bicycle is parked on the adjacent lower guide rail. In the bicycle, there is formed an interval between the rear ends of the bicycle where there is no obstacle, that is, since the widest part of the bicycle is the grip portion of the steering wheel, the lower guide rail is based on this width. The width of the rear car is narrower than the grip of the steering wheel, so the bicycle is parked on the adjacent lower guide rail, even if the bicycle has a rear car at the rear. Attention was paid to the fact that a space was formed between the rear ends of the bicycle where no obstacles existed.

Therefore, the fixed guide rail is fixed to the center between the adjacent lower guide rails in a plan view with its longitudinal direction being parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lower guide rail. Since the movable guide rail was tilted between the bicycles parked on the lower guide rail, the rear end of the movable guide rail could be positioned forward.

However, since the grip of the handle of the parked bicycle is located at the center between the adjacent lower guide rails, the fixed guide rail is fixed at a higher position than the grip of the handle in the above configuration. Therefore, there was a problem that a great deal of labor was required for the work of pulling out and tilting the movable guide rail and the work of lifting and pushing the bicycle in order to park the bicycle on the upper stage.

Therefore, as a result of further study, a lower guide rail for guiding the wheels of the bicycle is laid on the floor, and a 26-inch bicycle with a rear basket is parked on the lower guide rail. A groove having an opening at the top through a frame consisting of a cross beam which is laid on a pillar so that its lower surface is located at a predetermined height above and adjacent to the bicycle which does not come into contact with the bicycle, or A fixed guide rail made of a lip-groove shaped steel is fixed substantially horizontally, and a groove-shaped or hat-groove shaped steel having an open upper portion on which a bicycle parked on the upper stage is placed. A bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking device in which a movable guide rail is movably inserted into the fixed guide rail, wherein the fixed guide rail is parked on the lower guide rail when viewed in plan. A bicycle with a rear basket is parked on a lower guide rail adjacent to a movable guide rail that is crossed with the lower guide rail near the position of the handle and is drawn out from the fixed guide rail. If the fixed guide rail is inclined at a lower position and the rear end of the fixed guide rail is positioned more forward than before, the movable guide rail that is inclined is used as the lower guide rail. The present invention has been completed by finding that the rear end can be positioned forward without contacting the parked bicycle, and that the above-mentioned problem can be solved.

Further, when the lower guide rails are laid at a right angle to 55 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame when its longitudinal direction is viewed in a plane, the distance between adjacent lower guide rails and between the fixed guide rails is reduced. The rear end of the fixed guide rail can be reliably positioned on the front side in a narrow state, and the lower guide rail can be positioned at a right angle to 55 When the fixed guide rail is laid at an angle of degrees and the fixed guide rail is fixed at an angle smaller than the lower guide rail with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame when the longitudinal direction is viewed in a plane, the rear end of the movable guide rail is moved forward. The lower end guide rail and the lower end guide rail are alternately juxtaposed, and the lower end guide rail and the front end can be narrowed. If made of a high lower guide rails that are allowed positioned high, it is also of the present invention has been completed by investigation that can reduce the distance between the adjacent lower guide rails and between the fixed guide rail.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory side view showing a state in which a rear end of a movable guide rail is inclined downward in one embodiment of a bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is movable in the bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus shown in FIG. It is a plane explanatory view showing the state where a guide rail was inserted in a fixed guide rail.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a wheel 8 of a bicycle 8 laid on a floor 7 and parked in a lower bicycle parking space.
A lower guide rail that guides a and 8b, and is inclined so that the front end is at a higher position in order to park more bicycles 8 in a limited space.
12 and the lower end guide rail 11 which is almost horizontal with the front end at the low position
Are alternately arranged laterally, the bicycles 8, 8 parked on the adjacent lower lower guide rail 11 and higher lower guide rail 12, respectively, shift the grip positions of the handles 8c, 8c up and down. The handle 8 is viewed from above as shown in FIG.
Because you can park your bicycle with c and 8c wrapped,
It is preferable that the interval between the adjacent lower guide rails 1 and 1 is made as small as possible so that more bicycles 8 can be parked in a limited space without the bicycles 8 contacting each other.

2 is a 26-inch bicycle 8 with a rear basket 8d.
In a state where the bicycle is parked on the lower guide rail 1 and does not come into contact with the bicycle 8 and the lower surface of the bicycle is positioned at a predetermined height position close to and above the bicycle 8 so that the lower surface of the bicycle 8 This is a fixed guide rail made of a groove-shaped or lip-groove-shaped section steel that is fixed substantially horizontally via a frame 6 made of a cross beam and has an open top.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a movable guide rail formed of a groove-shaped or hat-groove-shaped steel member having an open top so that the bicycle 9 can be mounted with its wheels 9a and 9b inserted therein. The movable guide rail 3 is movably inserted into the fixed guide rail 2, for example, is engaged with an engagement roller 5 pivotally attached to the inner surface of the fixed guide rail 2 on the outer surface 3 a of the front end of the movable guide rail 3. A configuration similar to that conventionally implemented, such as a mode in which the guide member 4 for regulating the moving direction of the guide rail 3 is fixed, can be adopted.

The fixed guide rail 2 is fixed so that the fixed guide rail 2 can be fixed at a lower position avoiding the grip position of the handle 8c which is the highest part of the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1. A movable guide rail that is crossed with the lower guide rail 1 near the position of the handle 8c of the bicycle 8 that is parked on the lower guide rail 1 when viewed in a plane, and that is drawn out of the fixed guide rail 2. In a state where the bicycles 8, 8 with the rear cage 8d are parked on the lower guide rails 1, 1 adjacent to each other, the bicycles 8, 8 can be inclined through the rear cages 8d, 8d between the bicycles. And is fixed at an angle relative to the lower guide rail 1.

That is, the extension line 2a of the center line parallel to the longitudinal direction of the fixed guide rail 2 is a bicycle 8, 8 with a car 8d after being parked on the adjacent lower guide rails 1, 1 when viewed in a plane. The rear cars 8d, 8d are fixed so as to pass through the center between the lower guide rails 1, 1 at substantially the center in the front-rear direction of the rear cars 8d, 8d.

In the bicycle three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention having such a configuration, a large number of lower guide rails 1, 1,.
, Which are at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 or at an appropriate angle, are separated by a predetermined distance so that the bicycles 8, 8,... Parked in the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 do not come into contact with each other. Are installed side by side.

As described above, the lower guide rails 1, 1,...
Are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction so that the parked bicycles 8, 8,... Do not abut each other. As the angle between the longitudinal direction of the rails 1 and the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 decreases, the distance between the lower guide rails 1 juxtaposed at the position of the frame 6 increases and the number of lower guide rails 1 that can be laid is increased. On the other hand, the range of the lower guide rail 1 occupied in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 can be reduced while the lower guide rail 1
As the angle between the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 and the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 approaches a right angle, the interval between the lower guide rails 1 juxtaposed as viewed at the position of the frame 6 becomes smaller, and the number of lower guide rails 1 that can be laid is increased. On the other hand, the range of the lower guide rail 1 occupying in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 is widened.

Accordingly, the lower guide rail 1 is laid in such a manner that its longitudinal direction has an appropriate angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6, that is, a right angle to 55 degrees, in accordance with the size and shape of the land. Is preferred.

If the appropriate angle is less than 55 degrees, the space between the lower guide rails 1 juxtaposed as viewed at the position of the frame 6 increases, and the lower guide rails 1 that can be laid
Not only the number of the guide rails but also the upper movable guide rail 3
In order to prevent the movable guide rail 3 from abutting on the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1 when tilted, the interval of the lower guide rail 1 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction must be widened. This is because the number of lower guide rails 1 that can be laid in the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 is further reduced.

Since the most protruding portion on the rear side is the movable guide rail 3 which is drawn out and inclined, the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 when the lower guide rail 1 is viewed on a plane as described above. When the fixed guide rail 2 is fixed at an angle smaller than the lower guide rail 1 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 when the fixed guide rail 2 is laid at an angle of This is preferable because the rear end of the rail 3 can be reliably positioned on the front side.

In order to park the bicycle 9 on the upper stage of the three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention, the movable guide rail 3 inserted into the fixed guide rail 2 is first pulled out. Incline so that the rear end is located below.

The movable guide rail 3 is a fixed guide rail 2
The fixed guide rail 2 is crossed with the lower guide rail 1 near the position of the handle 8c of the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1 when viewed in a plane. The rear baskets of the bicycles 8, 8 with the movable guide rails 3 drawn out from the fixed guide rails 2 and the bicycles 8, 8 with rear cages 8d parked on the lower guide rails 1, 1 adjacent to each other. Because it is a configuration that can be inclined through 8d, 8d,
Bicycle 8, with rear basket 8d on adjacent lower guide rails 1, 1
Even when the bicycle 8 is parked, the movable guide rail 3 is inclined between the rear cars 8d, 8d of the bicycles 8, 8.

Accordingly, the movable guide rail 3 is located at a position lower than the bicycle 8 in front of the rear end of the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1, that is, as shown in FIG. The bicycle can be inclined at a position where the movable guide rail 3 overlaps without contacting the bicycle 8 parked on the lower guide rail 1.

In this way, the movable guide rail 3 is inclined and the bicycle 9 parked on the upper stage is mounted on the movable guide rail 3 from the front wheel 9b side.

At this time, the lower guide rail 1 is laid at a right angle to 55 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 when its longitudinal direction is viewed in a plane, and the fixed guide rail 2 is laid in its longitudinal direction in a plane. When the bicycle 9 is fixed at an angle smaller than the lower guide rail 1 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame 6, the bicycle 9 parked on the upper stage that has moved in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the frame 6 is mounted on the movable guide rail 3. When placing the bicycle, the angle at which the bicycle 9 changes its direction so as to be aligned with the longitudinal direction of the movable guide rail 3 may be small,
The labor for changing the direction of the bicycle 9 can be reduced.

Next, in order to insert the movable guide rail 3 on which the bicycle 9 is placed into the fixed guide rail 2, the rear end of the movable guide rail 3 is pushed forward while being lifted and pushed forward. Thus, the bicycle 9 is inserted into the fixed guide rail 2, and the bicycle 9 can be parked three-dimensionally.
