Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a storage device for bicycles, etc., which is used as a building facility for storing a large number of bicycles, for example.

Due to the difficulty in finding parking spaces in urban areas and concerns about the future oil supply, bicycles have become an important means of transportation instead of cars.
In places where people gather, such as in front of stations, a significant number of bicycles are left illegally and in a disorderly manner, obstructing normal road traffic, and bicycle pollution has become a major social problem in the urban environment.

Moreover, as of now, no effective countermeasures have been found for this problem, and as a result, bicycle pollution tends to increase more and more in various places.

By the way, multi-story parking facilities for bicycles are being considered as a proposal for bicycle storage to solve this problem, but under the current situation where individuals use their own bicycles for exclusive use, Since bicycles must be selectively taken in and out of parking facilities, it is difficult to improve the space efficiency of the facilities, and it is not feasible from a cost-effective point of view to install them in locations with high land prices, such as in front of stations. Not only is it inconvenient, but the waiting time for loading and unloading bicycles is long, and from this point of view it is also impractical, and this proposal cannot be considered as an effective solution.

Given this current situation, in order to eliminate bicycle pollution, the prerequisite is to share bicycles by renting them, and to do so by adopting a first-in, first-out storage system for bicycle parking facilities. It is useful to increase economy and practicality.

The present invention was developed in view of the current situation, and the purpose of the present invention is to enable storage of a large number of stored items such as bicycles in a close manner, and to enable the storage of stored items to be taken out and put in in a short period of time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a storage device for bicycles, etc.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an illustrated embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the bicycle storage device of the embodiment includes a building 1 serving as a hollow high-rise hangar;
A lift mechanism 2 that moves up and down along the inner wall surface of the building, a pallet taking mechanism 3 installed in the pit 7 of the same building 1, and a pallet taking mechanism 3 that is stacked in the rotating mechanism 3 when not in use. Sometimes, the bicycles (
(not shown) are stored in the upper floor of the building 1 after being closely aligned and supported on pallets 4 that have been boarded on the floor surface GL of the first floor. I will discuss this in detail.

(a) Building 1 Building 1 has a ceiling 6 on which a lift drive motor 5 is installed.
There is no floor on each floor except for the one where the floor is laid, so the space between the underground pit 7 and the ceiling 6 forms a rectangular box-shaped cavity, and the first floor part of the front wall 1a of the building An entrance/exit 8 with a shutter is provided with a height of 1.8 to 2.0 m, which is high enough for a person to work, and the vestibule A of the entrance 8 serves as a passageway for bicycles to enter and exit.

The floor surface GL is defined near the bottom of the entrance/exit 8, and the pit 7 is located below it.

In addition, on the ground at the rear near the left side of the building 1, there is installed a prime mover 9 for driving a storage table, which constitutes a part of a storage table lifting mechanism which will be described later.

Next, on each inner wall surface of the left and right side walls 1b of the building 1, receivers 10 are placed.
In other words, an idle rail 11 is fixedly installed on each upper floor of the building 1 (in the illustration, the second floor to the first floor shown in FIG.
Wedge-shaped supports 10 are protruded from the double membrane (nine stages) at two locations, one near the rear wall 1c and one near the front wall 1a, at the height of the floor for each floor. The height interval between each floor is set to be slightly larger than the height of a bicycle.

Further, a pair of left and right guide rails 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall surface at a position closer to the center than the receiver 10, and extend vertically from the vicinity of the ceiling 6 to the upper half of the pit 7.

(b) Pallet holding mechanism 3 (see Figure 5) The storage stand 30, which is a rectangular plate whose width is slightly wider than the width of the pallet 4 and whose depth is approximately equal to the depth of the pallet 4, is as follows. The platform is supported by a lifting mechanism, that is, it is vertically supported by a guide member (not shown) vertically suspended in the building 1 so as to be able to move up and down. 31A, 31B and movable pulley 31
C and 31D are attached, and the storage stand 30 is driven to maintain a required height (described later) by being pulled up by wires 32A to 32D tied to pulleys 31A to 31D.

On the other hand, a pair of fixed twin pulleys 33A to 33D are installed on the left and right sides of the front wall 1a of the building 1, and on the inner wall surface at a position slightly higher than the left and right floor surface GL of the rear wall 1c, respectively. Idlers 34A, 35A, 36A are installed at key points on the floor.
, 34B, and 35B are attached to the inner surface of the left side wall 1b of the building 1. Furthermore, an idler 37 is attached from a quadruple pulley to the inner surface of the left side wall 1b of the building 1, and wires 32A to 32A are attached to the side wall 1b diagonally downward from the idler 37. A window hole 1d through which 32D is led out is bored.

Each of the wires 32A to 32D passes through the following routes and is wound around the drum of the motor 9 for driving the protrusion.

(a) Wire 32A → Pulley 33A → Pulley 31A → Pulley 33A → Idler 34
A → Idler 35A → Idler 36A → Idler 37 →
Window hole 1d → prime mover 7 (b) wire 32B → pulley 33B → pulley 31B → pulley 33B → idler 34
B → Idler 35B → Idler 37 → Window hole 1d → (c) Wire 32C → Pulley 33C → Pulley 31C → Pulley 33C → Idler 37
→ Window hole 1d → ) Wire 32D → Pulley 33D → Pulley 31D → Pulley 33D → Idler 37
→Window hole 1d→ With such a wire transmission line structure, the storage table 30 is driven to protrude by a storage table lifting mechanism using a boost transmission method.

Next, a level sensor (not shown) is installed in the stationary part of the pit 7, and this sensor detects the height of the pallet 4 placed at the top of the pallets 4 stacked on the storage table 30. is detected, and the power supply to the prime mover 9 is controlled so as to match the detected height with the floor surface GL.
0 is operated by a control mechanism that raises and lowers the upper surface of the highest pallet 4 heavily loaded on it to a height that always matches the floor surface GL. Therefore, bicycles entered from the entrance of building 1 are , as it is) so that it rests on pallet 4.

(C) IJ foot mechanism 2 (see Figures 6 to 9)
The lift mechanism 2 is formed by a lift 20 that moves up and down guided by a guide rail 11 and a driving motor 5 behind the ceiling 6. The lift 20 also includes saddles 21 at both ends that fit into the rails 11. It is formed by a bar 22 extending between both sides 21, a slider 23 that slides horizontally on the bar 22, and a motor 24 that drives the slider 23.

Thus, the saddle 21 is formed of an angle with a U-shaped cross section, and the rails are connected to each other through three rollers 25 in two directions attached to the inner surface of each angle at the upper and lower parts of the saddle 21.
There is synovial fluid in the protrusion 11a of the ridge.

Next, the bar-shaped bar 22 is formed of an angle having a U-shaped cross section with an open bottom surface, and slits 22a are bored on both sides of the top surface of the angle, and guide plates 22b are provided on both sides of the inside surface of the angle. is protruding like a shelf.

Furthermore, the slide 23 is formed of forks 26 at both ends and a connecting rod 27 that connects both forks 26. Guide plate 22 via rollers 28
b, and a part of the upper plate of the fork 26 is
It protrudes inward to form a claw 26b.

In addition, a rack 27a is formed in the center of the connecting rod 27, and the rack 27a engages with the output pinion 29 of the drive motor 24, thereby causing the slider 23 to move forward with the claw 26b. , and the retracted position R.

The lift 20 formed in this way moves up and down by being pulled by the wire 12 tied to the upper end of each saddle 21. That is, the wire 12 pulled up from the saddle 21 along the rail 11 moves up and down the ceiling 6. After penetrating, its tip is wound around the drum of the prime mover 5.

(d) Pallet 4 (See Figures 4 and 10) Ear plates 13 made of flanged protrusions protrude from the front and rear ends of each left and right side edge of the pallet 4. A pair of hanging plates 14 protruding from similar protrusions are placed at the closer locations.

Although not shown in the drawings, a wheel fitting groove is formed on the upper surface of the pallet 4 for holding a large number of bicycles in a closely packed arrangement.

Here, the handling and operation of the storage device of the embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

First, in the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 in which all the pallets 4 are placed on the storage stand 30, the pallets 4 are placed on the front wall 1a.
, the plane position of the ear plate 13 of the pallet 4 is shifted forward with respect to the support 10 of the building 1.
Therefore, even if the pallet 4 rises, it will not hit the receiver 10.

Furthermore, since the plane position of the fork claw 26b of the lift 20 is in the retracted position R, the plane position of the fork claw 26b is the same as that of the pallet 4.
The lift 20 is displaced backward with respect to the hanging plate 14 of the pallet 4, so that the lift 20 can move up and down without hitting the pallet 4.

The bicycle storage operation will be described below in order of process.

(a) By bringing bicycles indoors through the entrance/exit of the bicycle carrying building 1, a large number of bicycles can be placed side by side on the pallet 4 at the top.

(b) Lifting the Pallet When the bicycle is fully loaded on the topmost pallet 4, an operation command to store the pallet 4 is issued. After the lift 20 has descended to the bottom of the pallet 4, the slider 23 moves forward and sideways. Then, the claw 26b moves to the retracted position F below the hanging plate 14 (FIG. 11a).

In this state, the lift 20 rises slightly, thereby lifting the pallet 4 from the storage table 30.

(C) Storing the pallet The lift 20 continues to move up and temporarily stops at a position slightly higher than the receiver 10 on the top floor of the building.

After that, when the slider 23 moves backward and moves to the retreating position R, the ear plate 13 of the pallet 4 comes to be above the receiver 10 (
Fig. 11 b), if the lift 20 is lowered, the pallet 4
is placed on the receiver 10 and becomes the top floor.

In addition, since the next pallet is raised to the floor GL immediately after pallet 4 is raised in the operation described above, it is possible to ride the bicycle on the next pallet during the above-mentioned storage operation. The waiting time is small.

(d) Repeating pallet storage (see Figure 12) By repeating this storage operation, it is possible to store pallets sequentially from the top floor.
In the illustrated state in which the storage on the 9th floor has been completed and the storage on the 8th floor is in progress, a bicycle is being loaded onto the pallet 4 on the holding table 30.

In addition, since the ear plate 13 and hanging plate 14 of the pallet 4 are formed with a collar to prevent them from falling, there is no risk that the pallet 4 will fall off from the receiver 10 or the fork claw 26b.
Operation is safe.

(e) Removal of pallet The above retraction operation is performed in the opposite direction.

Since the storage device of the embodiment is operated in this manner, bicycles can be stored in a narrow space with high density by renting bicycles in a first-out, first-in manner. There is almost no waiting time.

In addition, due to the above-described structure of the device, the weight load of the stored items on the pallet 4 is distributed to the wall surface of the building 1 via each receiver 10, so there is no need to provide local rigidity to the building 1, and Since the structure is such that the pallets 4 are individually driven upwards, the lift 20 can be driven by a small-capacity motor, and in particular, a booster pulley structure is used to drive the stacked pallets 4 upward, so that the loading platform can be easily moved. 30 can be driven by an extremely small-capacity prime mover, and the manufacturing cost of the device is extremely low.

Note that in the configuration of the above embodiment, the ground level G
Although L is set on the ground surface, the same operation and advantages can be obtained even if the system is configured to be installed underground or on the second floor.

In addition, the structure of the above-mentioned embodiment is highly useful when the stored item is a part other than a bicycle, that is, a large-sized circulating product that is often first-out, first-in.

As described above, according to the storage device for bicycles, etc. according to the present invention, it is placed in the pit of a high-rise hangar, and a plurality of pallets constituting the floorboards of each floor inside the hangar are piled up on the top surface. A movable pulley is pivotally supported at multiple left and right opposing positions around the outer circumference of the holding table, and each end of each wire is wrapped around the movable pulley and locked. A control mechanism detects the height of the uppermost pallet using a level sensor and rotates the wire winding drive drum in forward and reverse directions.
Since it is always located at the same floor level as the topmost pallet on the storage stand, when loading and unloading bicycles etc. from the entrance/exit of the hangar, the bottom of the entrance/exit and the above-mentioned top part that constitutes the floorboard of the first floor are placed at the same level. There is no difference in level between the pallet storage surface and the pallet storage surface, which has the effect that it is always possible to safely insert and remove bicycles, etc. from this type of storage device.

Another advantage is that the raising and lowering of the holding table can be controlled by a well-balanced energy-saving mechanism using the plurality of movable pulleys, and the holding table can be lowered almost to the bottom of the pit. There is no need to dig very deeply, which has the effect of being economical.
