Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a parking device for parallel parking, that is, a parking device that prevents a parked vehicle from leaving the parking area until a predetermined parking fee is paid in a parking lot having a parking area where vehicles can be parked in parallel with the lane. About.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a parking device with a leaving prevention device as a parking device that cannot leave the parking area until a parked vehicle in a parking area pays a predetermined parking fee. This parking device with a device for preventing the exit of the vehicle is provided with a fixed bollard that is always upright from the road surface at the front of the parking area, and a standing or overlying wheel or vehicle stop (hereinafter referred to as a movable bollard) at the rear of the parking area. ) Is provided, and when there is no parking, the movable bollard is lying down, and the vehicle to be parked can pass above and enter the parking area. When the vehicle enters the parking area, the vehicle detector detects the parked vehicle, and after a lapse of a predetermined time from the detection time, the movable vehicle stops. Unless a predetermined parking fee calculated according to the parking time is received, the movable parking lot is kept upright and the parked vehicle is prevented from exiting to the side on which it enters (rearward). The fixed front wheel stop prevents the approaching front wheel from moving further forward, and serves to properly position the parked vehicle in the parking area and prevent the parked vehicle from exiting forward. The movable bollard includes a plate type using a plate that rises and falls on a road surface by a driving unit, and a pole type using a pole that is protruded and retracted from the road surface by a lifting device. As described above, the conventional device is configured such that a fixed car stop is erected in front of a parking area, and a movable car stop is disposed behind the parking area, so that the parked vehicle enters the entrance side, Or, it is a parking device for right-angle parking for parking at a right angle to the roadside or diagonal parking for oblique parking.

[Technical problem to be solved]

Since the parked vehicle is configured to be able to participate only on the side where the vehicle has entered, various inconveniences arise when this is diverted to parallel parking. In other words, if a fixed bollard is provided in front of the parking area, entry must be made in the forward direction of the vehicle, and entry must be made in reverse, and if a fixed bollard is provided behind the parking area, In this case, entry or exit must be made forward, so in either case, entry or entry cannot be carried out smoothly, making contact with other nearby vehicles, checkout machines, buildings, etc., or adjacent to the parking area. There is a possibility that the traffic flow of the traffic lane may be obstructed. Also, if the side of the parking area on the lane side is a flat road surface, parking is possible if there is a space that can move back and forth between the parking area and the movable car stop even if the movable car stop at the rear of the parking area is in the upright state. It is conceivable that the vehicle can leave sideways by turning the steering wheel, and it is impossible to reliably collect the parking fee. The present invention, when entering the parking area of the vehicle in the parallel parking parking device, it is possible to arbitrarily restrict the traveling direction when entering, and moreover, to effectively prevent the lateral exit of the parked vehicle, The purpose is to ensure that fee collection can be realized.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle detector that detects a vehicle parked in a parking area and outputs a detection signal, and is disposed in front of and behind the parking area, and stands up from a road surface to reach the parking area. A parking stop that can be moved between a standing state that prevents the parked vehicle from leaving the parking area and a non-standing state that allows the vehicle to enter and leave the parking area; Based on a parking fee payment machine that outputs a possible entry signal at the time of pick-up and a detection signal from the vehicle sensor, the parking lot is set to the upright state, and the parking is uniformly performed regardless of the parking fee corresponding to the parking time or the parking time. A control device that outputs a fee and sets the car stop to a non-standing state based on the entry possible signal input, and a control device that is provided on a lane side of the parking area and protrudes from a road surface to park the vehicle. It is characterized by having a lateral exit preventer that prevents exit from the side of the car area. Further, the control unit sets the non-standing state of the vehicle stop ahead of the parking area based on the participation possible signal input from the checkout machine, measures the time from the time of the non-standing state, and detects the vehicle within a predetermined time. When the sensing signal from the sensor disappears, the rear wheelchair is set to the non-standing state, and when the sensing signal from the vehicle sensor does not disappear within the predetermined time, the total parking time from the parking start time is measured. When the total parking time exceeds the parking time corresponding to the received parking fee, the vehicle stop is raised again, and the vehicle stop is not set in the non-standing state until additional shortage is received.

[Action]

When there is no parking in the parking area, since the vehicle sensor does not output a sensing signal, the control device maintains the front and rear bollards in a non-standing state. Therefore, the vehicle to be parked can enter the parking area by either forward or backward methods. When the vehicle enters the parking area, the vehicle sensor outputs a sensing signal, and the control device measures the time based on the signal, and after a predetermined time elapses, the front and rear bollards are raised and locked. In addition, a parking fee according to the parking time or a uniform parking fee is called and displayed on the checkout machine. When the checkout machine receives the predetermined parking fee, it outputs a participation enable signal to the control device, so that the control device puts the car stop in a non-standing state. This allows the parked vehicle to exit the parking area into the lane by moving forward or backward. In addition, the side retreat prevention device prevents the vehicle from retreating laterally from between the front and rear standing bollards while protruding from the road surface. Measure the time, when the vehicle sensor disappears the detection signal within a predetermined time, also make the rear car stop non-standing,
If the sensing signal does not disappear within the predetermined time, the total parking time from the parking start time is measured, and if the total parking time exceeds the parking time corresponding to the received parking fee, again,
The front bollard is raised, and the front bollard is not set in a non-standing state until additional shortage is received.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a lane, which is a driving path in a parking lot, a vehicle driving path in a plaza in an event hall, a driving zone on a main road, or the like. 2 is a parking zone provided between a lane and a site boundary, between a driving zone of a main road and a sidewalk or a shoulder, or between a lane and a building so that parallel parking can be performed in parallel with the lane 1. In addition, a plurality of parking areas PA are provided at required intervals in the direction in which the lane extends.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the outermost lane of a highway is used for a parking zone, 3 is an L-shaped groove, and 4 is a sidewalk. For each parking area PA, a vehicle detector 5 for detecting a vehicle V parked at a predetermined parking position in the parking area is provided. FIG. 1 shows an example in which a vehicle detector using a metal detector is embedded in a road surface. This metal detector is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-298555 filed by the present applicant.
No metal detector can be used.This metal detector does not protrude on the road surface, so there is no danger of being damaged.Since its location is unknown from the outside, there is no fraud, no mischief, etc., it is hardly affected by the surrounding environment, Although it is a preferred sensing method, having many advantages such as not sensing by humans, bicycles, etc., the present invention is not limited to this method, and is not limited to known methods such as ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, and sensors using loop coils. Other vehicle sensors can be used. In each parking area PA, movable wheel stops 6F and 6R are installed in front and rear of the parking area PA. The pair of movable bollards 6F and 6R have basically the same configuration, and stand up from the road surface to a height necessary to prevent the parked vehicle from leaving the front and rear of the parking area. And a state in which the parked vehicle does not stand up from the road surface (non-standing state) so as to be able to leave the parking area. Such a movable bracelet which is in an upright state and a non-upright state is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 1264598 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-15161) owned by the present applicant, and owned by Patent No. 15680.
No. 88 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-54509) can be used. FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d) show an example in which the lock plate is used for a rear movable bollard, and a bottom plate portion 61 is shown.

The part 61 is to be overturned. However, as described above, the bollard is not limited to the one using the stop plate that is rotated around the axis (plate type), but includes a pole buried vertically on the road surface of the parking area and a drive unit that moves the pole up and down. It may be configured (pole type). Further, the front and rear bollards may be configured by two right and left poles and a chain (or wire) bridged between upper ends of the poles (chain type). In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a lateral retreat preventing device provided on the side of the lane of the parking area PA, that is, between the parking area PA and the lane 1, and has a predetermined height from the road surface and is required in the front-rear direction. And has a required width and protrudes from the road surface. Here, the certain height is a height at which the lower end of the door of the vehicle parked in the parking area PA does not contact when the door is opened and closed, and the required length is the parked vehicle in the parking area PA. Is a length that can prevent the vehicle from retreating from the side due to the turning of the handle while moving forward and backward between the front and rear standing-up vehicle stops. The required width is a width that allows a person to step up stably when a person gets on and off the parked vehicle from the lateral retreat prevention device 7. As shown in FIG. 4, the lateral retraction preventing device 7 has a lower opening U-shaped cover 71 in which a frame is fixed on a road surface with bolts and the like, and the frame is formed from above by sheet metal processing.

In addition, in order to secure the traffic safety of the vehicle in the lane 1, it is desirable to provide the slope 72 on both front and rear sides of the lateral retraction preventing device 7. When the vehicle stops 6F and 6R are not upright and have a small amount of protrusion from the road surface, and when the slope 72 is provided at least in front of the side exit prevention device 7, the parking device of the present embodiment is connected to the trunk line. If installed on the leftmost parking strip on the road,
Even when a two-wheeled vehicle, bicycle, or the like travels in the parking zone when there is no parking, the vehicle can safely pass over the vehicle stop or the side leaving prevention device. Instead of the fixed type as shown in the figure, the lateral retraction preventing device 7 may be a plate type that can be raised and lowered on the road surface similarly to the movable brace 6F or 6R, or a pole type or a chain type that can be raised and lowered. 8 is a payment machine. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, this payment machine is a stand-alone type which is attached to the upper end of a column 81 erected on the ground like a conventional parking meter. It has a housing 82 attached, a parking fee display section 83, a money insertion slot on the front of the housing 82.

It has a CPU 92, a ROM 93, a RAM 94 and input / output interfaces 91, 95, and the input I / F 91 has a vehicle detector 5, a currency discriminator 86,
The card reader 87 is connected to the parking I / F 95, the parking fee display unit 83, the car stops 6F and 6R, and the receipt issuing unit 88, respectively.
The ROM 93 stores a parking fee settlement program, a vehicle stop control program, and a fee table. Then, the control device mainly measures the parking time based on the input of the vehicle detection signal from the vehicle sensor 5, calls the parking fee from the fee table corresponding to the parking time, and raises and lowers the bollard. To perform processing control on the money inserted into the checkout machine or the inserted prepaid card, and issue a receipt. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU of the control device 9 functions as means for realizing the functions of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Having. Next, the operation of the control device will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. When the control device 9 receives the detection signal from the vehicle sensor 5 (first step affirmation; hereinafter, the steps are indicated by s and numerals), the first timer 921 starts measuring the parking time (s _1). ), when entering also sensing signal after the lapse of time (s ₃ Yes), bollard control unit 924 outputs a normal rotation instruction to the driver 63 of the front and rear wheel stop, is raised a stop 62 of the bollard, the lock to (s _5). Further, the fee calling unit 923 calls the parking fee corresponding to the parking time by the first time counting unit from the fee table in the ROM, and displays the parking fee on the fee display unit 831 (s ₆ ). Money slot 8
When there is money inserted through 4, or when the card insertion slot there is inserted a predetermined prepaid card (s ₇ Yes)
The money processing means 925 compares the amount X of the parking fee corresponding to the parking time up to the present time with the input amount or the remaining amount Y of the card based on the amount signal input from the money discriminator 86 or the card reader 87, and X when the ≦ Y, currency processing unit 925 performs settlement processing (s _8), and outputs the enable signal. The vehicle stop control means 924 outputs a reverse rotation command to the vehicle stop driving unit 63 based on the output of the participation enable signal, and causes the front vehicle stop stop 62 to be in a non-standing state (s ₉ ). Also, the entry warning lamp 11 provided on the housing of the checkout machine or the like is turned on to call attention to other vehicles passing through the lane 1. Also, it notifies that the parked vehicle can participate. Further, the control device 9 starts time measurement by the second time counting means 922 from the time when the vehicle stop is set in the non-standing state (s ₁₀ ),
Until the measured time reaches a predetermined time, checks whether the sensing signal from vehicle detector 5 is extinguished (s _11).
When the sensing signal disappears within a predetermined time, i.e., when the parked vehicle has exited (s ₁₁ Yes), the first timing means 921 and second timing means 922 clears, and also behind the bollard non in the standing state (s ₁₂₎ to wait for the next car. In contrast, if the sensed signal within a predetermined time does not disappear (s ₁₃ positive) is the first time measuring means 921 measures the total parking time, and at the same time, rates call means 923 is the total parking time from charge table call a parking fee corresponding to (s _14). The money processing means 925 compares the parking fee corresponding to the total parking time with the received parking fee (s ₁₅ ), and if the former exceeds the latter, drives the front bollard in a non-standing state. Part of it is driven again to the wheel stopper in the standing state (s _16). Instead of the comparison based on the fee, the total parking time may be compared with the parking time corresponding to the received parking fee. Then, if an additional shortage is paid, which is the difference between the parking fee for the total parking time and the received parking fee, the front bollard is in a non-standing state and can participate. If the total parking time has not yet exceeded the parking time corresponding to the received parking fee, the front wheelchair 6F is kept in the non-standing state, and the process returns to step 14. In the illustrated example, one settling machine 8 is installed on the sidewalk for two parking areas before and after. However, one checkout machine may be installed for each parking area, or one checkout machine may be installed for several areas. When one car is installed in several areas, the checkout machine is provided with an input unit such as a designation button or a numeric keypad for specifying a parking area to be settled, and a parking time is set for each parking area. Is measured, a parking fee corresponding to the parking time is called and displayed, and a money process is performed. The payment machine is not limited to the one that collects the parking fee corresponding to the parking time, and may be a device that collects a uniform parking fee regardless of the parking time.

【The invention's effect】

As described above, in the parking device according to the present invention, the movable brace is provided in front of and behind the parking area, so that entry into and exit from the parking area can be performed by any of the forward and backward movements of the vehicle. By setting the front wheelchair in a non-standing state when it detects exit, the front wheelchair is also in a non-standing state, so that both entry and exit can be regulated forward, and traffic safety when exiting the lane Can be secured. In addition, since a side exit prevention device is provided between the parking area and the lane side, it prevents a parked vehicle from turning back and forth with the feeling of front and rear car stops without paying a predetermined parking fee. As a result, reliable fee collection can be achieved. Furthermore, if the parked vehicle does not leave within a predetermined time after a single settlement of the parking fee, the total parking time from the parking start time is measured, and the total parking time exceeds the parking time commensurate with the received parking fee. In this case, the vehicle stop will be raised again and the vehicle stop will not be in a non-standing state until an extra fee is paid, so that illegal parking can be prevented, and
Secure collection of parking fees.
