Description

  The present invention relates to a mechanical bicycle parking facility and method for storing a bicycle set at an entrance / exit in a storage shelf.

  In a mechanical bicycle parking facility, when a user sets a bicycle at the entry / exit entrance on the ground and performs a card operation or button operation, the machine automatically transports the bicycle from the entry / exit entrance to the storage shelf for storage. Bicycles are housed on the shelves.

  This type of mechanical bicycle parking facility includes a cylindrical type (ground type or underground type) and a horizontal type (ground type or underground type) depending on the installation location.

  In a cylindrical mechanical bicycle parking facility, a cylindrical bicycle room is constructed on the ground or basement, and an elevator that raises and lowers the bicycle is arranged in the center of the bicycle room, and multiple stages are arranged radially around the elevator and vertically. Storage shelves are arranged. The elevator has a transfer device for delivering the bicycle. When the user sets a bicycle at the entrance / exit on the ground, the elevator automatically accommodates the bicycle in a storage shelf.

  In a horizontal type mechanical bicycle parking facility, a rectangular parallelepiped bicycle room is constructed on the ground or underground, and storage shelves are arranged in multiple rows horizontally and vertically in the bicycle room. The bicycle room is provided with a traveling carriage device that moves horizontally in parallel with the storage shelf rows and accommodates the bicycle in the storage shelf. The horizontal mechanical bicycle parking facility has an advantage that the number of storage shelves, that is, the number of bicycles, can be increased as compared with the cylindrical mechanical bicycle parking facility.

  By the way, the applicant has proposed a mechanical bicycle parking facility including a loading / unloading port, a lifting / lowering device, a relay device, and a traveling carriage device as a type of horizontal mechanical bicycle parking facility (see Patent Document 1). ). When the user sets the bicycle at the entrance / exit on the ground, the lifting device pulls in the bicycle set at the entrance / exit, lowers it to the basement, and passes it to the relay device. The relay device has a turning function and turns the received bicycle in a horizontal plane. The traveling carriage device receives the bicycle from the relay device, moves in the horizontal direction, and stores the bicycle in a target storage shelf. According to this mechanical bicycle parking facility, an intermediary device having a turning function is interposed between the lifting device and the traveling cart device, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in the layout of the entrance / exit and the traveling cart device. is there.

The configurations of the relay device 83, the first and second traveling cart devices 84 and 86, and the first and second storage shelves 87 and 88 are the same as those in the first embodiment. The configuration of the traveling cart relay device 85 is the same as that of the relay devices 3a and 3b of the first embodiment.

  According to the bicycle parking facility of the fourth embodiment, the bicycle can be branched and delivered from the first traveling carriage device 84 to the adjacent second traveling carriage device 86 via the traveling carriage relay device 85. It is also possible to connect the traveling path of the second traveling carriage device 86 via the traveling carriage relay device 85 in the middle of the traveling path of the first traveling carriage apparatus 84. Accordingly, the degree of freedom of layout of the bicycle room 89 is increased, and the bicycle can be efficiently accommodated in the bicycle room 89.

  FIG. 9 is a plan view of a mechanical bicycle parking facility according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the first traveling carriage device 84 and the second traveling carriage device 86 are connected by the traveling carriage relay device 85 having a turning function and a horizontal movement function. In the form, it is different from the bicycle parking equipment of the fourth embodiment in that it is connected by a traveling cart relay device 85-1 having only a turning function. Moreover, the point where the traveling path of the first traveling carriage device 84 and the traveling path of the second traveling carriage apparatus 86 are orthogonal to each other is different from the bicycle parking facility of the fourth embodiment. Since other configurations are the same as those of the fourth embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

  According to the bicycle parking facility of the fifth embodiment, the bicycle is branched and delivered from the first traveling carriage device 84 to the second traveling carriage device 86 having a different traveling direction via the traveling carriage relay device 85-1. be able to.
