Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking apparatus used in a bicycle parking lot or the like.

  Recently, bicycles are overflowing in every bicycle parking lot. Therefore, in order to be able to store more bicycles in a certain area, a configuration is adopted in which a bicycle parking lot is made up of two stories, or even on the first floor, bicycles are stored three-dimensionally.

  However, there are architectural restrictions to making the bicycle parking space two-story, and the construction cost will be high, and for the user, the bicycle will be brought to the second floor and will be lowered from the second floor. There is a problem that is very troublesome. In addition, the current three-dimensional bicycle storage configuration is to place a higher stand other than the flat ground and store the bicycle at that position as well, but in that case the storage space for the flat bicycle will inevitably decrease, In addition, it takes time and effort for the user to raise and lower the bicycle on the table, and there is a problem with danger if handled incorrectly.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  An object of the present invention is to realize a three-dimensional bicycle parking structure in which space can be used effectively and the bicycle can be handled easily during parking.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a bicycle parking facility comprising: mounting means for mounting the bicycle; moving means for raising and lowering the placing means; and holding means for holding the placing means in its raised position. A wheel device is provided.

  According to the above configuration, the placing means on which the bicycle is placed can be raised and lowered by the moving means, and held at the raised position by the holding means, so that the bicycle can be parked at the raised space position. It becomes possible. Each means is realized by an appropriate method.

The invention's effect

  According to the present invention, since it is possible to park a bicycle at a raised space position, a three-dimensional parking configuration can be realized without taking up space. Further, since the bicycle can be raised and lowered by the moving means, the bicycle can be easily handled when parked.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a bicycle parking lot in which the first embodiment of the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention is used, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.

  The bicycle parking device 1 includes a rail-like mounting body (mounting means) 2 of the bicycle B, and a spring balancer (moving means, holding means) 6 in which the ends of the cables 4 are respectively connected to the front and rear of the rail-shaped mounting body 2. , A horizontal arm 8 to which each of the spring balancers 6 is attached, a guide bar 10 that freely loosely inserts the base end of the rail-like mounting body 2 in the vertical direction, and an exterior column 12 of the guide bar 10. A support 11 for the tire portion of the bicycle B is attached to the rail-like mounting body 2 at the front and rear, and a moving guide plate 13 that is loosely inserted into the guide rod 10 is inserted at the front end of the front support 11. It is attached. The spring balancer 6 incorporates a spring and further a ratchet mechanism, and has a function of allowing a heavy article to be lifted and lowered lightly by the torque of the spring and stopping the article at an arbitrary height position by the ratchet mechanism. . A base portion of the horizontal arm 8 is fixed to an upper portion of the exterior column 12.

  The arrangement configuration of the bicycle parking apparatus 1 having the above configuration in the bicycle parking lot will be described. The bicycle parking lot is provided with a conventional flat bicycle parking device 20, and the bicycle parking device 20 includes a pair of moving rails 22, a moving body 24 moved along the moving rails 22, and The movable body 24 includes a rail-like mounting body 25 whose front and rear are mounted and fixed. Two rail-like mounting bodies 25 are attached to the pair of moving bodies so as to be displaced forward and backward.

  The bicycle parking device 1 of the present invention is arranged so that each of the exterior pillars is along one side of the rail 22 on the front side of the bicycle parking device 20 with a predetermined interval, and both the horizontal arm 8 and the rail-like mounting body 2 are arranged. The bicycle parking device 20 extends so as to be parallel to the rail-like mounting body 25.

  Hereinafter, the use of the bicycle parking apparatus 1 of the present invention at the bicycle parking lot will be described. FIG. 1 shows a state in which a bicycle B is stored by a bicycle parking device 1, and the bicycle B and a rail-like mounting body 2 are integrally supported in a space by a spring balancer 6 via cables 4 respectively. Thus, the bicycle B is stored and stored. When taking out the bicycle B from the bicycle parking lot, the user first moves the rail-like mounting body 25 in the bicycle parking device 20 to secure a space for pulling down the bicycle B. Next, hold the bicycle B or the rail-like mounting body 2 and pull it down, release the hand when the lower surface of the rail-like mounting body 2 is in contact with the rail 22, and the rail stopped when the hand is released The bicycle B is lowered from the top of the shape mounting body 2. After the bicycle B is lowered, it may be left as it is, or only the rail-like mounting body 2 may be moved up to the original position.

  On the contrary, when parking the bicycle, if the rail-like mounting body 2 is in the lower position, the bicycle B is put on it and lifted together and stored and stored at a predetermined height. When it is in the upper position, the rail-like mounting body 2 is pulled down and the bicycle B is put on it in the same manner as when the bicycle B is taken out from the bicycle parking lot.

  In the above operation, the use of the spring balancer 6 makes it possible for the bicycle B to be raised and lowered stably and easily with a little force, and also requires a lock structure or the like to stop at a predetermined position. You can do it without Furthermore, the raising and lowering are performed in a more stable state by the base end of the rail-like mounting body 2 and the guide plate 13 being inserted and supported by the guide rod 10. Moreover, also in terms of space, the parking device 1 is provided only by securing the standing space for the exterior pillars 12, so that a three-dimensional parking configuration can be easily realized.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a bicycle parking lot in which the second embodiment of the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention is used, and FIG. 4 is a side view thereof.

  The bicycle parking apparatus 100 includes a rail-like mounting body (mounting means) 102 of the bicycle B, a guide screw rod 104 that is threadedly inserted through the base end of the mounting rail 102 in the vertical direction, and the guide screw rod 104. The exterior pillar 105 and a motor 108 which is built in the upper part of the exterior pillar 105 and rotationally drives the guide screw rod 104. A support 107 for the tire part of the bicycle B is attached to the rail-like mounting body 102 in the front and rear, and a moving guide plate 109 that is loosely inserted into the guide screw rod 104 at the front end of the front support 107. Is attached. The motor 108 is actuated by operating a switch 110 attached to the exterior pillar 105, thereby rotating the guide screw rod 104 forward and backward. And the rail-shaped mounting body 102 by which the base end is screw-inserted by the guide screw rod 104 goes up and down with the forward / reverse rotation. Although not shown, the exterior column 105 is provided with limit switches at the upper and lower positions thereof, so that the position when the rail-like mounting body 102 is raised and lowered is regulated by them.

  The bicycle parking device 100 according to the second embodiment is used in the same manner as the bicycle parking device 1 according to the first embodiment when the rail-like mounting body 102 is raised and lowered by the operation of the motor 108, and is also used for a flat ground. The bicycle parking apparatus 200 is used in combination.
