More specifically, the purpose is to provide bicycle users with a bicycle parking system that allows them to park safely while using a small area while being protected from theft and damage. To this end, the present invention not only prevents theft of parked bicycles by parking the bicycle in a standing position so that the two wheels are aligned vertically, but parking the bicycle upside down with the front wheel facing downward. , it minimizes the area of the bicycle parking lot and prevents theft of expensive parts, such as saddles, that are frequently stolen while parked. When viewed from the outside, only the lower part of the stand is exposed, and bicycles are neatly aligned on the stand. Bicycle parking that can be parked upside down and inside, preventing parked bicycles from being damaged or damaged by other means of transportation or pedestrians passing nearby, while also keeping the overall appearance of the bicycle parking lot neat and tidy. It's about devices.

While the quality of life is improving due to the increase in national income, the number of people using bicycles is increasing as interest in health, leisure, and environmental protection increases. In particular, the use of bicycles as an eco-friendly means of commuting to and from school is increasing due to health promotion, environmental protection, economic reasons, or personal preference. Thanks to the relatively well-maintained bicycle road network nationwide, more and more people are using bicycles.

However, for the smooth use of bicycles, the parking problem of bicycles must be resolved. In particular, the issue of ‘safe parking’, which takes into account theft prevention of parked bicycles, must be addressed first. Recently, expensive bicycles with excellent quality and performance have been supplied, so users cannot help but be aware of theft accidents. Parts such as saddles used in these expensive bicycles are also expensive, so parts theft accidents frequently occur. Due to the current situation, the issue of ‘safe parking’ is becoming more and more important. From the perspective of bicycle users, the reality is that due to security concerns such as theft or damage, it is difficult to use bicycles for commuting to work or school unless there is a 'safe bicycle parking lot' with excellent security. As a result, among the many functions of bicycles, they are not used as a normal means of transportation. The reality is that because its functionality is severely limited, it is mainly used for leisure purposes rather than for commuting to work or school.

In addition, there is no safe bicycle parking lot in residential areas such as apartment complexes or residential areas, so bicycle users store their bicycles in the entrance of apartments or townhouses to prevent theft. It is causing inconvenience in using a bicycle, such as difficulty in dragging it into the front door of the household. In particular, this problem is the biggest factor that makes people who want to try bicycles hesitate to use them. In other words, the issue of securing ‘safe bicycle parking’ is acting as the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the bicycle rider population.

Another problem with bicycle parking is the problem of securing land. In general, bicycle parking lots are installed in public places connected to public transportation facilities, such as subway stations, for smooth use. These places are places where pedestrians frequently pass by, so when bicycle parking lots are installed, pedestrians are disturbed by parked bicycles. It often causes inconvenience to traffic. In addition, in most of these places, land prices are high, so it is difficult to secure sufficient area for bicycle parking. As a result, bicycle parking lots are installed overlapping with pedestrian passageways, so not only is it difficult to allocate a large number of parking spaces, but it is also difficult to allocate a large number of parking spaces to pedestrian or pedestrian passageways. It is also pointed out as a problem that there is a high risk of parked bicycles being damaged by the passage of motorized devices or other bicycles using . In addition, since most bicycle parking lots leave the wheels and handlebars of parked bicycles exposed, the complex appearance of misaligned bicycle parking lots also causes problems with the aesthetics of the city.

The purpose of the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, which was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, is to minimize theft or damage to parked bicycles, as well as to provide a bicycle parking device with excellent security and safety.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking device that can prevent theft of expensive parts, such as removing the seat of a parked bicycle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking system that allows bicycle parking lots to be installed even in small areas in urban areas.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking system that allows parked bicycles to be neatly aligned and the exterior to be neatly organized to enhance the overall appearance of the bicycle parking lot.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking system that can provide a convenient bicycle parking lot where users can easily place and take out their bicycles when parking and leaving the bicycle.

And in addition to these features, a user terminal carried by the driver of the bicycle; Identification means attached to the holder with a unique identification code for the holder; Communication means capable of communicating with the user terminal; and a control means capable of controlling the first locking means or the second locking means. Further including, the user terminal may recognize the identification means, identify the holder to which the identification means is attached, and then request the control means to lock or unlock the identified holder, and the control means , when a request is made to lock or unlock the identified cradle from the user terminal through the communication means, lock or unlock by controlling the first locking means or the second locking means included in the identified cradle. A user terminal used as a bicycle parking device or carried by the driver of the bicycle; Identification means attached to the holder with a unique identification code for the holder; Communication means capable of communicating with the user terminal; and control means capable of controlling the first counterbalance or the second counterbalance; Further including, the user terminal may recognize the identification means, identify the holder to which the identification means is attached, and then request control of the counterbalance for the identified holder to the control means, and the control means may , When control of the counterbalance for the identified holder is requested from the user terminal through the communication means, the first counterbalance included in the identified holder and the operation of the first counterbalance can be controlled. It is also desirable to use a bicycle parking system characterized by:

In addition to these features, the control means operates the first counterbalance when rotating and laying down the stand for parking and when rotating and erecting the stand after taking the bicycle out of the stand for parking. - A bicycle parking device, characterized in that the second counterbalance is operated when the bicycle is placed on the stand for parking and then the bicycle is rotated and placed on the stand for parking and when the bicycle is rotated and laid down for take-out. It is also desirable.

In addition to the above-described features, the first distance, which is the distance from the predetermined position to the top of the center of the handlebar of the bicycle, is less than or equal to the second distance, which is the distance from the predetermined position to the top of the saddle. As a device or in addition to this, the distance from the side of the seat protection plate facing the saddle to the wall or structure on which the seat protection plate is installed is less than or equal to the value obtained by subtracting the first distance from the second distance. It is also desirable.

As seen above, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention is installed on a stand to park a bicycle, and then rotates the stand so that the front wheel is down and the rear wheel is up, and the bicycle is turned upside down, so that the saddle and handle of the bicycle are It can be attached to the wall and stored upside down with the locking device installed. Since only the bottom of the parking device is exposed to the outside, there is no risk of theft and other traffic passing around the bicycle parking device. It has the effect of providing a safe bicycle parking system where there is no risk of the bicycle's handlebar, seat, or wheels being damaged or damaged by vehicles or pedestrians.

In addition, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention includes a seat protection plate that is installed to face the saddle at a position corresponding to the saddle of the erected bicycle when the bicycle is placed on a stand for parking and then the bicycle is turned upside down by rotating the stand. Since the saddle cannot be separated from the bicycle and removed, it has the effect of fundamentally preventing saddle theft accidents that frequently occur in bicycle parking lots.

In addition, the bicycle parking lot according to the present invention has the effect of easily securing a bicycle parking lot even in a small area, compared to a typical bicycle parking lot where the bicycle is stored upside down and the front and rear wheels are aligned. .

In addition, the bicycle's saddle and handlebars are attached to the wall and stored upside down, and only the bottom of the parking stand is exposed to the outside, so when viewed from the outside, the bicycle is neatly aligned and has a neat appearance. This has the effect of improving the overall appearance of the bicycle parking lot.

In addition, it has a fixing means to secure the rear wheel to the rear wheel guide, so the rear wheel can be stably fixed, and it has a stopper, so the front wheel can also be stably fixed, so the bicycle can be stored stably even when it is upside down. .

In addition, because it includes a first locking means that locks the rear wheel by fixing it to the rear wheel guide, it has the effect of allowing the bicycle to be stored safely without worrying about accidents when it is turned upside down.

In addition, since the second locking means can be provided to lock or unlock the rotating means so that the stand cannot be rotated or is in a rotatable state, when the stand is rotated and erected, another person can arbitrarily rotate the stand and place it in a horizontal state. Since it cannot be made, it has the effect of being able to be safely stored without worrying about accidents when the bicycle is turned upside down, and since the saddle is facing the seat protection plate, it is also possible to prevent theft of the saddle.

And when the stand is rotated to stand or lie down, the first counterbalance applies or reduces a force that can offset the gravity due to the weight of the stand, and a force that can offset the gravity caused by the combined weight of the bicycle and the stand. Since the second counterbalance may be included, the stand can be rotated using a small force, which has the effect of allowing the bicycle to be easily parked or taken out.

In addition, since the identification code, communication means, and control means for the stand can be further included, bicycle users can easily lock or unlock the rotation of the stand using a smartphone, etc. when parking or leaving the vehicle, making it easy to park the bicycle. It has the effect of being convenient to use, and since the first and second counterbalances can also be controlled using control means, the holder can be rotated with a small force according to the weight when parking and leaving the car. This also has the effect of allowing you to use the bicycle parking lot easily and conveniently.

And the first distance, which is the distance from the rotation means to the top of the center of the handlebar of the bicycle, is less than or equal to the second distance, which is the distance from the rotation means to the top of the saddle, and the wall or structure on which the seat protection plate is installed from the side facing the saddle among the seat protection plates. Since the distance to the holder is less than the value obtained by subtracting the 1st distance from the 2nd distance, it is possible to prevent the handle from being caught on the seat protection plate when rotating the stand. When the stand is rotated and the bicycle is turned upside down, the seat protection plate and the saddle are at a close distance. It becomes possible to touch. Therefore, even if you try to separate the saddle from the bicycle by pulling it up, it is blocked by the seat protection plate and cannot be removed upward, which is effective in preventing theft of the saddle.

For example, the above expressions do not limit the order and/or importance of the corresponding components. The above expressions can be used to distinguish one component from another.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a bicycle parking lot with several bicycle parking devices installed according to the present invention, and Figure 2 shows an enlarged perspective view of the bicycle parking device according to the present invention. First, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention includes a stand 100 having a certain width and length so that the two wheels 53 and 54 of the bicycle 50 can be placed and mounted. It is desirable. It is desirable to have guide rails 110 protrude at a certain height on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the holder 100, which allows the bicycle 50 to be mounted on the upper surface of the holder 100 for parking. Alternatively, it is a means to enable the bicycle 50 to move stably on the stand 100 when taken out from the stand 100 to take out the vehicle.

The holder 100 is preferably rotatably installed on the support shaft 200, and the support shaft 200 is preferably fixed by the support 210 at a certain height from the ground. As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to have several holders 100 installed on the support shaft 200 at regular intervals, but the holder 100 is installed one by one on each support shaft 200. It is also desirable. In addition, it is preferable that the holder 100 can rotate on the support shaft 200 around the support shaft 200, that is, with the support shaft 200 as the rotation axis. For this purpose, the holder 100 ) It is desirable to include a rotation means 300 for coupling the support shaft 200 and the holder 100 at a certain position on the lower surface. The predetermined position, that is, the position where the rotation means 300 is coupled to the lower surface of the holder 100, is such that the center of gravity of the holder 100 is at the rear, that is, on the side where the rear wheel 54 of the bicycle 50 is located. , the rotation means 300 is located at the front, that is, on the lower surface of the side where the front wheel 53 of the bicycle 50 is located, so that, as shown in FIG. 1, when the holder 100 is laid down, the rear naturally moves. It is desirable to be able to reach the ground 30.

In addition, it is preferable that the front upper surface of the stand 100 includes a front wheel stopper 400 that is erected so that a certain portion of the front wheel 53 of the bicycle 50 can be inserted. When the bicycle 50 is mounted on the stand 100, the front wheel stopper 400 prevents the front wheel 53 of the bicycle 50 from going beyond the front end of the stand 100 and moves to the side. It is designed to prevent falling. Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is desirable to insert the wheel in an inverted U shape and stop it when a certain part is inserted. However, even if it is not in an inverted U shape, it is also possible to make it in an 11-shaped shape with the stomach blocked. . The front wheel stopper 400 is larger than the diameter so that a size close to half of the front wheel 53 can be inserted to prevent the bicycle 50 from falling sideways after the front wheel 53 of the bicycle 50 is inserted. It is also desirable to set the height to a slightly smaller level.

Meanwhile, it is desirable to include a rear wheel guide 500 that rises to a certain height on both sides of the rear part of the upper surface of the holder 100, where the rear wheel 54 of the bicycle 50 is located. The rear wheel guide 500 prevents the rear wheel 54 of the bicycle 50 from leaving the holder 100 and prevents the rear wheel 54 from falling sideways, so that the bicycle 50 as a whole It is a means to ensure that the bicycle 50 is stably erected on the stand 100 and, furthermore, to maintain the posture of the bicycle 50 stably when the stand 100 is erected. Therefore, the higher the height of the rear wheel guide 500, the more stable it becomes, but if it is too high, the pedals, etc. may be caught when mounting the bicycle 50 on the stand 100, which may be inconvenient, so the rear wheel 54 of the bicycle 50 may be inconvenient. It is desirable to have a height of about half to two-thirds of the radius.

In addition, the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention preferably includes a seat protection plate 600 to prevent the saddle 51 of the bicycle 50 from being removed while the bicycle 50 is parked. The seat protection plate 600 is a means of preventing saddle theft accidents that frequently occur in parking lots by preventing the saddle 51 of the bicycle 50 from falling off. The seat protection plate 600 is the seat of the bicycle 50 when the stand 100 is rotated and erected so that the front wheel 53 is at the bottom while the bicycle 50 is mounted on the stand 100. At a position corresponding to (51), it is preferable that one side of the seat protection plate 600 is installed to face the seat 51. Therefore, it is preferable to install the support shaft 200 and the support 210 close to the wall 60, such as a fence, and to install the seat protection plate 600 by attaching it to the wall 60. In the present invention, When it is difficult to install the bicycle parking device 10 near a wall 60 or a fence, it is desirable to install a structure at an appropriate location so that the seat protection plate 600 can be attached. In this case, it is desirable to install the structure firmly on the ground using a metal pipe or the like so that the seat protection plate 600 can be firmly attached to the structure.

Hereinafter, the holder 100, the support shaft 200, the rotation means 300, the front wheel stopper 400, the rear wheel guide 500, and the seat protection plate 600 are combined and installed as described above. , The process of parking and unparking the bicycle 50 in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Figures 3(a) to 3(f) sequentially show the operation process when parking the bicycle 50 in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. In the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention, it is preferable that the stand 100 is always erected except when parking or taking off the bicycle 50, as shown in FIG. 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, both the empty stand 100 and the stand 100 where the bicycle is parked are erected, and only when parking or exiting the vehicle, the rear portion is on the ground (30) as shown in the center of FIG. 1. It is desirable to lie down so that it touches. In order to park, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the empty stand 100 is lowered and laid down, and then the bicycle 50 is placed on the stand 100 as shown in FIG. 3(b). After being seated, when the holder 100 is raised and rotated (FIGS. 3(b) to 3(f)), the holder 100 is turned upside down, and thus, as shown in FIG. 3(f), the holder 100 is turned upside down. The saddle 51 faces the saddle protection plate 600. In this process, since the distance between the handle 52 and the rotating means 300 is shorter than the distance between the saddle 51 and the rotating means 300, the handle 52 is attached to the saddle protection plate 600. Although it is not caught, the saddle 51 is located close to the saddle protection plate 600. Of course, the position of the rotation means 300 must be installed in a position that satisfies these conditions, which will be described later.

In this way, with the bicycle 50 seated on the stand 100, the stand 100 is rotated so that the bicycle 50 is turned upside down, and then the frame of the bicycle 50 and the seat protection plate 600 If the space between the bicycles is locked using a bicycle locking device, etc., the bicycle 50 can be stored safely in this upside-down state without the risk of theft. To this end, it is desirable that the seat protection plate 600 further include a coupling groove (not shown) into which a bicycle locking device (not shown) can be coupled. However, more preferably, it is desirable to further include a locking device in the rear wheel guide 500 or the rotation means 300, which will be described with reference to other drawings. Meanwhile, when the bicycle 50 is placed on the stand 100 and parked upside down, the method of taking out the bicycle can be performed in the reverse order. First, after releasing the locking device in the state of FIG. 3(f), reversely rotate the holder 100 in the order of FIGS. 3(e) to 3(b), and then place the rear of the holder 100 on the ground. When reaching above (30), it is preferable to retrieve the bicycle 50 from the stand 100 and then erect the stand 100 as shown in FIG. 3(a).

Meanwhile, Figure 4 shows an example of the fixing means 510 included in the rear wheel guide 500 of the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. It is preferable that the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention includes the fixing means 510 for fixing the rear wheel 54 to the rear wheel guide 500, as shown in FIG. 4 (a) ) is an enlarged perspective view of an example of the fixing means 510, and Figure 4(b) shows that the fixing means 510 is connected to the rear wheel 54 when the bicycle 50 is mounted on the holder 100. It shows a cross-sectional view viewed from below with respect to the fixed state, and Figure 4(c) shows a view viewed from behind. In this way, the fixing means 510 is a means for stably fixing the rear wheel 54 when the rear wheel 54 enters the rear wheel guide 500. For this purpose, the fixing means 510 is made of rubber or A material with strong elasticity and appropriate friction, such as silicon, is used to make it into a convex oval shape as shown in FIG. 4(a), and when the rear wheel 54 is seated on the rear wheel guide 500, the fixing means 510 ) is preferably in contact with the rim of the rear wheel 54 and the border of the tire. In this case, the rear wheel 54 or the front wheel 53 can be easily inserted or removed in the traveling direction during the process of being mounted on or removed from the holder 100, but once inserted, it is difficult to remove it in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the bicycle 50 is seated on the holder 100, the rear wheel 54 is stably fixed within the rear wheel guide 500. Accordingly, after the bicycle 50 is mounted on the holder 100, it can maintain a stable state even when it is turned upside down, which has the effect of allowing safe storage. However, as described above, making the fixing means 510 into a convex oval shape using a material with strong elasticity and friction such as rubber or silicon is an example, and using a different material and a different shape is used to make the fixing means 510 into a convex oval shape. ) may be fixed to the rear wheel guide 500, for example, a method of pushing from both sides using an elastic spring, or various other methods may be applied.

In addition, the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention may further include means for fixing and locking the rear wheel 54 to the rear wheel guide 500. Figure 5 shows an example in which the first locking means 520 is included in the rear wheel guide 500 of the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. The first locking means 520 is a means for locking the rear wheel 54 by fixing it to the rear wheel guide 500. The first locking means 520 is used to lock the rear wheel 54 to the rear wheel guide 500. ), not only can it prevent theft of the bicycle 50, but also the rear wheel 54 is stably fixed within the rear wheel guide 500, so the bicycle 50 can be mounted on the holder ( 100) After being placed on top, it can maintain a stable state even if it is turned upside down, so it has the effect of being stored safely. Figure 5(a) is an enlarged perspective view of an example in which the first locking means 520 is installed on the rear wheel guide 500. In this case, as shown in Figure 5(a), the rear wheel 54 is When seated in the rear wheel guide 500, one or more locking pins 521 protrude from one side of the rear wheel guide 500, penetrate between the spokes of the rear wheel 54, and then move to the opposite side of the rear wheel guide 500. This is so that it can be inserted as . As a method of causing the locking pin 521 to protrude, it may be possible to operate the first locking means 520 with a key, and the locking pin 521 may be operated using a magnetic key, card key, or number key. It might be possible to make it work. However, more preferably, it is desirable to operate it automatically by control means (not shown), which will be described later.

In addition, the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention may further include a locking means to prevent the rotation means 300 from rotating. Figure 6 shows an example in which the second locking means 310 is included in the rotating means 300 of the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. In the present invention, the second locking means 310 is preferably used as a means for locking or unlocking the rotating means 300 so that it is in a non-rotatable or rotatable state with respect to the holder 100. . Therefore, when the bicycle 50 is mounted on the stand 100 and the stand 100 is rotated and erected, the second locking means 310 is operated to lock the rotation means 300. Since the stand 100 cannot rotate, it cannot be laid down, and in this state, the saddle 51 also cannot come out due to the seat protection plate 600, so the bicycle 50 seated on the stand 100 ) can be strongly protected from the risk of theft, and in order to take out the car, all you have to do is unlock the second locking means 310, so you can park, lock, unlock, and take out the car in a convenient way. When including the second locking means 310, it is possible to further include the first locking means 520, but the bicycle 50 can be completely locked with only the second locking means 310. Since it can be maintained, it is also preferable to include only the second locking means 310 without the first locking means 520.

Figure 6(a) shows an example of the second locking means 310, which is a method using a latch gear 311 and a detent 312, where the detent 312 is a latch gear ( Since the state in which it is in 311) is a locked state, the holder 100 cannot be rotated in the direction in which it is laid down, but can only be rotated in the direction in which it is erected. However, when the stopper 312 comes out of the latch gear 311, the holder 100 is in an unlocked state in which it can be freely erected or laid down. In this way, the second locking means 310 may be installed using the latch gear 311 and the detent 312, but may be installed by another method, for example, by making an insertion hole (not shown) in the support shaft. Various methods and means may be used, such as a method of forming and locking by inserting a fixing pin (not shown) from the rotation means into the insertion hole. A method of operating the second locking means 310 may also be possible using a key, and it may also be possible to operate the second locking means 310 using a magnetic key, card key, or number key. However, more preferably, it is desirable to operate it automatically by control means (not shown), which will also be described later.

Meanwhile, the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention includes a counterbalance 700 when the rotation means 300 is operated so that the holder 100 can be easily erected or laid down with a small amount of force when rotating the stand 100. ), it is more desirable to link them. The counterbalance 700 includes a first counterbalance (not shown) that adds or reduces a force that can offset the gravitational force caused by the weight of the holder 100 when the holder 100 is rotated to stand or lie down. When the bicycle 50 is placed on the stand 100 and the stand 100 is rotated to stand or lie down, the weight of the stand 100 combined with the weight of the bicycle 50 offsets the force of gravity. It is composed of a second counterbalance (not shown) that adds or reduces the force that can be used, and when the empty stand 100 is rotated and laid down for parking and the bicycle (100) is placed on the stand 100 for exit. When rotating and erecting the stand 100 after taking out the vehicle 50), the first counterbalance is operated, and after placing the bicycle 50 on the stand 100 for parking, the stand 100 is rotated. It is preferable to operate the second counterbalance when rotating and laying down the stand 100 on which the bicycle 50 is mounted for setting up or taking out the vehicle. That is, by allowing the corresponding counterbalance 700 to operate according to each weight, the bicycle 50 can be operated as easily when mounted as when not mounted.

Figure 7 shows an example of the counterbalance 700 included in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 7(a), the support shaft 200 and the rotation means 300 Both ends of the torsion spring 710 are fixed in between, but when the holder 100 is laid down, force is applied to the torsion spring 710 by the weight of the holder 100 so that it is wound, When erecting the stand 100, the torsion spring 710 is released by the winding force, and the weight of the stand 100 is reduced by the releasing force so that it can easily rise upward. That is, when the holder 100 is laid down or erected by the torsion spring 710, a force that can offset the gravitational force due to the weight is applied or reduced, so that the holder 100 can be easily operated. At this time, the strength of the torsion spring 710 is such that it has a strength corresponding to the force that can offset the gravity caused by the weight of the holder 100 (first counterbalance), or is equal to the weight of the holder 100 and It is desirable to have a strength corresponding to the force that can offset the gravitational force caused by the combined weight of the bicycle 50 (second counterbalance). Using the torsion spring 710 as the counterbalance 700 is only one embodiment of the counterbalance 700, and the counterbalance 700 may be configured in various other ways.

Meanwhile, Figure 8 shows a diagram for determining a preferred installation position of the rotation means 300 and the seat protection plate 600 included in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. As described above, the rotation means 300 supports the holder 100 at a certain position on the lower surface of the holder 100 so that the holder 100 can rotate around the support axis 200. It is desirable to couple the shaft 200 and the holder 100. And the predetermined position, that is, the position where the rotation means 300 is coupled to the lower surface of the holder 100, is such that the center of gravity of the holder 100 is at the rear and the rotation means 300 is located at the front lower surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable to allow the rear side of the holder 100 to naturally touch the ground 30 when it is laid down. Hereinafter, a preferred ‘predetermined position’ where the rotation means 300 is located will be described with reference to FIG. 8.

As shown in FIG. 8, the constant position (x) is located at a distance of L from the end (e) of the holder 100, and the length of L is set to be the same as the radius of the front wheel 53. It is most desirable. This means that if the L is less than the radius of the front wheel 53, the center of gravity moves too far back, so not only does it take a lot of force to lift the holder 100, but also the holder 100 is raised during the process of lifting the holder 100. The stability of the bicycle 50 mounted on (100) decreases, and on the other hand, if the length of L becomes larger than the radius of the front wheel 53, the turning radius of the front end of the stand 100 increases, so it is unavoidable. Since the height h of the support shaft 200 and the rotation means 300 must be increased, the angle of the stand 100 becomes steep when the stand 100 is laid down for parking or taking out the car. , This is because it becomes somewhat inconvenient to place the bicycle 50 on the stand 100 or take it out of the car.

When the length of L is equal to the radius of the front wheel 53, the first distance s1, which is the distance from the constant position (x) to the upper center of the handle 52, is the distance from the certain position (x) to the upper center of the handle 52. It becomes smaller than the second distance s2, which is the distance to the top of the saddle 51, which means that the horizontal distance to the saddle 51 is smaller than the horizontal distance from the lower center of the front wheel 53 to the handle 52. Because it is further away. Therefore, when the bicycle 50 is mounted on the stand 100 and the stand 100 is rotated, the handle 52 has a smaller turning radius than the saddle 51, so the stand 100 During the rotation process, the handle 52 does not come into contact with the seat protection plate 600, making it possible to rotate smoothly, while the saddle 51 can come into close contact with the seat protection plate 600.

Meanwhile, even if the height h of the support shaft 200 and the rotation means 300 is somewhat increased, there may be a need to increase the length of L depending on installation conditions, which is of course possible. However, even in this case, the first distance s1', which is the distance from the constant position x' to the center top of the handle 52 of the bicycle 50, is the distance between the constant position x and the saddle 51. It is desirable to set it below the second distance (s2'), which is the distance to the top, which means that when the bicycle (50) is mounted on the stand (100) and rotated, the handle (52) is attached to the seat protection plate (600). This is to avoid contact. Therefore, the maximum distance of L (L-max) is the distance from the front end of the holder 100 to the point (x') where the first distance (s1') and the second distance (s2') are equal. And in the case of the seat protection plate 600, the distance from the wall 60 or structure on which the seat protection plate 600 is installed to the side of the seat protection plate 600 facing the saddle 51 is the second distance ( It is preferable to set it to less than the value obtained by subtracting the first distance (s1) from s2), which means that when the bicycle (50) is placed on the stand (100) and rotated, the handle (52) is connected to the seat protection plate (600). This is the distance to avoid touching.

Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating the change in height of the support shaft 200 and the rotation means 300 when the trench 31 is formed on the ground 30 in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention. . As shown in Figure 9, in the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention, a trench (h1) of a certain depth (h1) is provided between the support shaft 200 and the wall 60 or structure on which the seat protection plate 600 is installed. 31) is also desirable. When the trench 31 is included in this way, the height h0 of the support shaft 200 and the rotation means 300 is lowered by the depth h1 of the trench 31, and accordingly, the holder 100 ) The angle formed between the ground 30 and the support shaft 200 becomes smaller, and accordingly, when users park or take off the bicycle 50 due to the gentle slope of the holder 100, It becomes easier to use. In addition, if the depth h1 of the trench 31 is sufficiently deep and the length of L is long, parking is possible easily and the overall height of the parking lot is lowered, which improves not only aesthetics and management but also convenience of use. This has the effect of providing various benefits, such as increasing blood pressure.

Meanwhile, the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention can be configured so that parking lot users can conveniently use the parking device using smart devices such as smartphones. Figure 10 shows the concept in which the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention is operated by the user's smartphone. In order to conveniently park using a smart device such as a smartphone, in addition to the above-described configurations, a user terminal 800 carried by the driver 20 of the bicycle 50 and a unique identification code for the holder 100 are required. An identification means 900 attached to the holder 100, a communication means 910 capable of communicating with the user terminal 800, the first locking means 520, and the second locking means 310. , It is desirable to further include control means 920 capable of controlling the first counterbalance and/or the second counterbalance.

Here, the user terminal 800 is a smart device such as a smartphone, capable of recognizing the identification means 900 such as a QR code, and short-range wireless communication such as wifi or BLE, or long-distance wireless communication such as LTE or 5G. It is desirable to make it possible. It is preferable that the identification means 900 attach a QR code to the rear of the holder 100, and it is also possible to use a wireless identification tag using NFC or the like. The communication means 910 and the control means 920 are preferably included in an appropriate space such as the holder 100, the first locking means 520, or the seat protection plate 600. It is also possible for 910 to communicate directly with the user terminal 800 using short-distance communication such as wifi or Bluetooth, and through the long-distance Internet of Things network such as Lora or a commercial wireless communication network 80 such as LTE. It is also possible to communicate with the user terminal 800. In the example of FIG. 10, the concept of communicating with the user terminal 800 through the wireless communication network 80 is shown. For reference, in the red square in Figure 10, the communication means 910 receives a signal from the user terminal 800 inside the bicycle parking device 10 according to the present invention and transmits it to the control means 920, A conceptual diagram is shown in which the control means 920 controls the first locking means 520, the second locking means 310, and/or the counterbalance 700.

Through the above configuration, the user terminal 800 recognizes the identification means 900, identifies the holder 100 to which the identification means 900 is attached, and then locks the identified holder 100. Alternatively, unlocking can be requested from the control means 920, and the control means 920 locks or locks the identified holder 100 from the user terminal 800 through the communication means 910. When unlocking is requested, it is desirable to control the first locking means 520 and/or the second locking means 310 included in the identified holder 100 to lock or unlock, In addition, the user terminal 800 recognizes the identification means 900, identifies the holder 100 to which the identification means 900 is attached, and then performs a counterbalance 700 for the identified holder 100. ) can be requested to the control means 920, and the control means 920 receives a counterbalance ( When control of 700) is requested, it is desirable to control the operation of the first counterbalance and the first counterbalance included in the identified holder 100. At this time, when receiving a request from the user terminal 800, the control means 920 determines that it is time to rotate and lay down the empty stand 100 for parking, or to move the stand 100 from the stand 100 to take out the car. After taking out the bicycle 50, when it is determined that it is time to rotate the stand 100 to stand, the first counterbalance is activated, and after mounting the bicycle 50 on the stand 100 for parking, the bicycle 50 is placed on the stand 100 for parking. When it is determined that it is time to rotate and erect the stand 100, or when it is determined that it is time to rotate and lay down the stand 100 on which the bicycle 50 is mounted in order to take out the vehicle, it is desirable to activate the second counterbalance. . That is, by allowing the corresponding counterbalance 700 to operate according to each weight, the bicycle 50 can be operated as easily when mounted as when not mounted.
