When the bicycle 16 is further pushed inward by a predetermined amount, the cover 18 of the bicycle 16 is gripped by the electromagnetic chuck 38. Next, the sprocket drive motor is driven by a command from the computer, the sprocket wheel 32 is rotated, and the electromagnetic chuck 38 is moved in the direction of the garage 78 in conjunction with the chain 36, so that the entire bicycle 16 is placed directly below the horizontal rail 30. It stops when it moves to that point. At this time, the top portion 20 of the loading platform of the bicycle 16 is also visually grasped by the electromagnetic chuck 40'. Next, the computer selects the floor on which the bicycle 16 is to be stored, and a selection command is sent to the outside of the cursor driving mode.

Now, the case where the garage 78 on the first floor is selected will be explained. In this case, no drive signal is sent to the cursor drive motor, but a drive signal to the sprocket drive motor is sent from the computer, the output shaft of the iron motor rotates, and the sprocket wheel 32 rotates. This rotation causes the bicycle 16 to move toward the garage 78. When the front wheel of the bicycle 16 enters, for example, the tire guide 56 in the garage 78 and irons into it, and when the cover 18 of the bicycle 16 tries to iron the guide part of the handle guide 66, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic chuck automatically stops. The electromagnetic chuck 38 is erased by
The state in which the bicycle 16 is held by the bicycle 16 is released. bicycle 16
It is still sent into the garage 78 by the fin chuck 40,
When the rear tire of the bicycle 16 enters the tire guide 56 and the loading platform top 20 attempts to enter the handle guide 66, the grip on the loading platform top 20 by the electromagnetic chuck 401 is automatically released. At this time, the bicycle 16 becomes free at the entrance of the garage 78. Garage 78
At this time, since the bicycle 16 is tilted at a predetermined angle in the downward direction centering on the spinal column 62, the bicycle 16 that has moved to the tire guide 56 and the handle guide 66 in the garage 78 is tilted by its own weight. The bicycle 16 runs toward the back of the garage 78, and when the front wheel of the bicycle 16 collides with the stopper plate 80 of the garage 78, the bicycle 16 stops running. By the entrusted operation, the bicycle is stored on the tire guide 56 corresponding to the gate 4 of the garage 78 on the first floor, and when the tire guide 56 is full, a stopper is placed at the entrance of the tire guide 56 by a command from the computer. stand out.

Next, a case will be described in which a bicycle is stored in the garage 78 on the second floor. When the entire bicycle 16 has been moved directly under the machine rail 30 in the above-described manner, the computer selects the garage 78 on the second floor, a drive signal is sent to the cursor drive motor, and the cursor 26 moves to the support post 22, 24. rise along the
The bicycle 16 is pulled up in conjunction with the rise of the horizontal rail 30 and floats up from the tire guide 8 on the first floor. When the lower end of the bicycle 16 is located on the extension of the tire guide of the garage 78 on the second floor, the cursor drive motor stops driving.
Next, the sprocket drive motor is driven by the command from the computer, and the bicycle 16 is moved onto the tire guide in the garage 78 on the second floor in the manner described above, and is driven by its own weight to the innermost end of the tire guide. will be stored in. In this way, when all the garages 78 from the 4th floor to the 1st floor are sequentially filled, the hydraulic cylinder 74 is driven by a command from the computer, and the back end of the garage 78 is raised, and the garage 78 is centered around the support shaft 70. It slopes upward toward the rear end. The preparation for leaving the garage 78 is now complete, and this is indicated by a lamp provided at the gate 4 corresponding to the garage 78. Next, a case where the user takes out the bicycle from the garage will be explained.

First, the user goes to the gate 4 where the exit OK lamp is on and inserts the magnetic card into the card slot. The signal from the card is sent to the computer, and the stopper of the stopper mechanism of the tire guide in the garage 78 on the top floor of the gate 4 is retracted in accordance with the computer's command, and the bicycle 16 on the tire guide on the fourth floor is pushed toward the gate 4 by its own weight. Move at a glance. According to instructions from the computer, the horizontal rail 30' is waiting on the top floor, and the electromagnetic chucks 38 and 4 are set at predetermined positions. The electromagnetic chuck 40 automatically grips the loading platform section 20 of the bicycle 16 that is traveling by itself using electromagnetic force. Next, the sprocket drive motor is driven to rotate the sprocket 32 in the reverse direction, and the electromagnetic chuck 4 and chain 36 are moved to move the bicycle 1.

In the process of the bicycle 16 being pulled out directly below the resting wheel 30, the cover 18 is automatically gripped by the electromagnetic chuck 38 before the front wheel of the bicycle 16 comes off the tire guide. When the entire bicycle 16 moves directly under the horizontal rail 30 and is gripped by the electromagnetic chucks 38 and 40, the cursor drive motor is driven by a command from the computer, and the horizontal rail 30 is moved along the supports 22 and 24. descend.
When the bicycle is placed on the tire guide 8 on the first floor, the drive of the cursor drive mode stops and the horizontal rail 30
The downward movement of stops. The horizontal rail 30 stops on the first floor,
Wait for the magnetic card's instructions to depart. When there is an instruction to leave the bicycle, the sprocket 32 rotates according to instructions from the computer, and when the bicycle 16 is projected outside the gate 4 by movement of the chain 36, the grip of the electromagnetic chuck 38 is automatically released. Next, the user pulls out the bicycle 16 from the gate 4 and removes the magnetic card from the insertion slot. In this embodiment, the vehicle is entered and exited from the gate located on one side of the garage, but bicycle gripping mechanisms for lateral and vertical movement are provided on both sides of the garage, and one side of the garage is One side of the garage may be used exclusively for the entry gate, and the other side of the garage may be used only for the exit gate. As described above, the present invention allows the bicycle to be supported at the top and bottom by the tire guide and the handle guide so that it can move freely in a straight line, so the bicycle can be held securely, and the difference in height between the tire guides adjacent to each other in the garage can be avoided. cause
Since the bicycle handles on the tire guide are arranged so that they are not adjacent to each other at the same height, the space adjacent to the tire guide can be set narrowly, and there is an effect that parking efficiency per unit area can be improved.
