Description

The present invention relates to a bicycle parking device, and particularly to a so-called two-stage bicycle parking facility that can store a bicycle in two upper and lower stages, and the bicycle parking device that can easily move a bicycle to a bicycle storage location in the upper stage.

As a bicycle parking device that can efficiently store a large number of bicycles in a limited space, a so-called two-stage bicycle parking device that can store bicycles in two upper and lower stages is already widely known. In this type of two-stage bicycle parking device, for example, Patent Document 1 and the like disclose a bicycle parking device that can be easily moved to a bicycle storage location in the upper stage.

As shown in FIGS. 33 to 36, this type of bicycle parking device is connected to a platform (bicycle rack) 202 that vertically moves up and down with the bicycle 201 mounted, and is connected to the platform 202 with respect to the support column 203. A platform lifting device 204 arranged so as to be liftable, a platform pulling spring 205 that applies a platform pulling force for pulling the platform 202 to the platform 202, and a support column 203 below the platform lifting device 204. It is provided with a lower elevating device 206 arranged so as to be able to move up and down, and a load pulling spring 207 that applies a load pulling force for pulling up the bicycle 201 to the lower elevating device 206. Then, the bicycle parking device 200 is loaded with the forces of these pulling springs 205 and 207 when the platform 202 is pulled up and down, and the platform 202 and the bicycle 201 are lifted during ascending and descending. It is configured so that it can be easily raised and lowered with a light force.

In such a bicycle parking device 200, when the pedestal 202 in which the bicycle 201 is stored in the upper tier is lowered to the lower tier and the bicycle 201 is taken out (pulled out) from the pedestal 202, the pedestal 202 is automatically moved to the upper tier side. It is conceivable to configure it so that it is raised. According to this configuration, it is convenient because it is possible to save the trouble of a person moving the platform 202 to the upper stage.

Further, when the bicycle 201 is pulled out from the platform 202, the platform 202 is always automatically moved to the upper stage. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 37, when the side slide type bicycle parking device 210 is provided in the lower stage. In addition, when the bicycle 202 is pulled out, the operation of laterally moving the platform 211 of the lower horizontal slide type bicycle parking device 210 becomes impossible, or the lower horizontal slide type bicycle parking device 210 mount 211 and the upper stage There is also an advantage that it is possible to prevent the mount 202, 211 and the like from being in contact with the mount 202 of the bicycle parking device 200 for storage and being damaged.

Here, as a mechanism for automatically moving the mount 202 to the upper stage when the bicycle 201 is pulled out from the mount 202, for example, as shown in FIG. 38, the front wheel 201a of the bicycle passes through and is stored. When the bicycle is moved to a position and mounted, the rotating body 208 that releases the locked state at the lower position of the lower elevating device 206 is rotatably arranged on the mounting table 202, and as shown in FIG. 39, the rotating body 208 is rotatably arranged. At the entrance / exit of the platform 202 on which the bicycle 201 is mounted, a contact body 209 that comes into contact with the front wheels 201a and the rear wheels 201b of the bicycle 201 when the bicycle 201 is pulled out from the platform 202 is provided, and the bicycle 201 is pulled out from the platform 202. At that time, when the contact body 209 comes into contact with the front wheel 201a or the rear wheel 201b of the bicycle 201 and is pushed down, it is conceivable to release the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device 204.

However, if the abutting body 209 that abuts on the front wheels 201a and the rear wheels 201b of the bicycle 201 is provided when the bicycle 201 is pulled out from the platform 202, the bicycle 201 is still removed from the platform 202 when the total length of the bicycle 201 is long. The rear wheel 201b of the bicycle 201 pushes down the abutting body 209 even though it is not completely pulled out (the state in which the ascending of the lower elevating device 206 is not prevented), and the bicycle 201 is pushed down at the lower position of the platform elevating device 204. The locked state may be released, and the platform (rack) 202 and the lower elevating device 206 may rise while the bicycle 201 is being pulled out.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the platform and the lower lifting device are raised while the bicycle is being pulled out, while the platform can be automatically moved to the upper stage when the bicycle is pulled out from the platform. The purpose is to provide a bicycle parking device that can prevent the bicycle from being used.

In order to solve the above problems, the bicycle parking device of the present invention is connected to a support column erected on the installation surface, a platform on which a bicycle can be mounted and which can be raised and lowered in the upper and lower positions, and a platform.

When the front wheel of the bicycle is moved to the retracted position and the front wheel is mounted on the front extension and switched to the mounting position. In addition, the rotating body that releases the locked state at the lower position of the lower elevating device, and when the bicycle is pulled out from the platform, the platform is automatically raised to the upper position side, while the bicycle is placed on the platform. In this case, it is a bicycle parking device provided with an automatic lifting device that does not automatically raise the platform to the upper position side, and the automatic lifting device is farther from the support column than the rotating body on the platform. It has an upright tilted body that is placed in a position, and the upright tilted body has a pedestal elevating device in the lower position, and when the bicycle is placed on the pedestal in the locked state, the front wheel of the bicycle Even if the bicycle is tilted forward from the standing position, the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device is not released, and when the bicycle is pulled out from the storage position, the front wheel of the bicycle tilts it backward from the standing position. It is characterized in that the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device is released.

Further, in this case, the rotating mounting body is arranged at a position where the front wheels are placed when the bicycle is stored on the platform, and the standing tilting body of the automatic lifting device is placed between the front wheels and the rear wheels when the bicycle is stored on the platform. It is preferable that the bicycle is arranged in the following location.

According to the above configuration, when the bicycle is pulled out from the platform, the rotating body is rotated to the side away from the support (rear side), the lower elevating device is locked at the lower position, and the standing tilted body is rearward. Since the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device is released in the tilted posture, the platform is automatically moved to the upper stage. On the other hand, when the bicycle is stored in the platform, the standing tilted body is not tilted backward, so that the locked state at the lower position of the platform lifting device is not released, and the platform lifting device is released by the release operation by the operation unit. The locked state at the lower position is released.

In this case, the postures of both the rotating mounted body and the standing tilted body are switched by the front wheels, and the standing tilted body is arranged at a position farther from the support column than the rotating mounted body on the platform (more). Preferably, the rotating mount is placed at a location where the front wheels rest when the bicycle is stowed on the platform, and the upright tilting body of the automatic lifting device is located between the front wheels and the rear wheels when the bicycle is stowed on the platform. Has been). Therefore, when the bicycle is pulled out from the platform, the rotating body is first rotated to the rear side (the side away from the support), switched to the locked state at the lower position of the lower elevating device, and then the standing tilted body is moved. The locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device is released in the backward tilted posture, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the platform and the lower elevating device from rising while the bicycle is being pulled out.

Further, the bicycle parking device of the present invention is integrated with the automatic raising device by being connected to an upright tilting body and a swing lever connected to an operation unit interlocking member that is interlocked when the operation unit is operated and moved. A release cam that rotates in a positive manner and is free to contact the swing lever, and a standing posture urging means that urges the standing tilted body to the standing posture are provided, and the bicycle stands up when it is pulled out from the storage position. When the tilted body is tilted, the operation unit interlocking member is interlocked via the release cam and the swing lever, and the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device is released. .. According to this configuration, with a simple structure, after the bicycle is placed in the storage position of the platform, the standing tilted body can be automatically returned to the standing position and locked at the lower position of the platform lifting device.

A pulling force is applied, and the platform 12 can be raised with a light force. When the mount 12 is raised and the slide member 44 or the lower slide member 37 reaches the place where the upper stopper material 46 is attached, it is temporarily at the lower inclined surface of the upper upper stopper 46b of the upper stopper material 46. Even if the pedestal elevating device 7 and the pedestal 12 try to move downward after passing backward, the slide member 44 moves on the horizontally protruding upper surface of the upper lower stopper 46a of the upper stopper material 46. It is locked and prevented from descending, and as a result, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 4, the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is placed is well held in the upper position.

When lowering the bicycle 1 stored in the upper stage, the operation unit 17 moved upward is operated to temporarily push down the upper side of the operation unit 17 to the back side (front) (move it to the release position). As a result, the operation unit interlocking member 43 and the slide member 44 move rearward, the slide member 44 is separated from the upper upper stopper 46b of the upper stopper member 46, and the locking at the upper position of the platform elevating device 7 is released. Will be done. Therefore, the bicycle 1 can be easily (easily) lowered by lowering the platform 12 by holding the operation unit 17 or the like from this state. Then, when the slide member 44 reaches the position where the lower stopper member 39 is attached, the slide member 44 temporarily recedes and passes through the lower inclined surface of the lower upper stopper 39b of the lower stopper member 39. Later, it protrudes forward and is locked from below to the horizontally protruding surface of the lower upper stopper 39b, and even if the mount elevating device 7 and the mount 12 try to rise, they are blocked. As shown, the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is placed is well held in the lower position.

When the bicycle 1 lowered to the lower stage is pulled out from the mounting table 12, as shown in the solid line portion of FIG. 32, the bicycle 1 is placed on the front extension portion 31b of the rotating mounting body 31 by the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 and then is mounted on the front extension portion 31b of FIG. As shown in the virtual line of FIG. 32, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 is mounted on the rear extension portion 31c of the rotating mounting body 31, and the rear extension portion 31c is switched to the horizontal mounting posture. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower slide member 37 is positioned closer to the front via the first interlocking shaft 33, the unlocking transmission member 34, and the interlocking rod 36, and the lower lower stopper of the lower stopper member 39 is placed. It is locked to 39a, and the mount 12 is held at the lower position.

When the bicycle 1 is pulled further toward you from the platform 12, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1 comes into contact with the standing tilting body 71 of the automatic raising device (auto return device) 70 from the front and stands up. Tilt the tilted body 71 backward. As a result, the operation unit interlocking member (second interlocking shaft) 43 and the slide member 44 are interlocked via the release cam 73 and the swing lever 72, and the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is released. Will be done. As a result, the platform 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage. In this way, the platform 12 is automatically moved to the upper stage without the user having to operate the operation unit 17 of the platform 12, which is convenient because the user can save time and effort.

In this case, the postures of both the rotating mounting body 31 and the standing tilting body 71 are switched by the front wheel 1a of the bicycle 1, and the standing tilting body 71 is a support column rather than the rotating mounting body 31 on the mount 12. It is arranged at a position (rear) away from 11. Further, in this embodiment, the standing tilted body 71 is arranged at a position where the front wheel 1a is placed when the bicycle is stored on the platform 12, and the standing tilted body 71 is arranged with the front wheels 1a and the rear wheels 1b when the bicycle is stored on the platform 12. It is located between the two. Therefore, when the bicycle is pulled out from the mount 12, the rotating mount 31 is first rotated to the rear side (the side away from the support column 11), and after being switched to the locked state at the lower position of the lower elevating device 8. The standing tilted body 71 is in a backward tilted posture, and the locked state at the lower position of the platform elevating device 7 is released. As a result, the platform 12 and the lower elevating device 8 are raised while the bicycle 1 is being pulled out. This can be reliably prevented, and the reliability and safety of the bicycle parking device can be improved. After that, in order to mount the bicycle 1 on the platform 12, when lowering the platform 12 on which the bicycle 1 is not mounted, the operation unit 17 is operated to lower the platform 12.

According to the above configuration, the automatic ascending device 70 is integrated with the swing lever 72 connected to the operation unit interlocking member 43 that is interlocked when the operation unit 17 is operated and moved, and is connected to the upright tilting body 71. A release cam 73 that rotates in a positive manner and is free to abut on the swing lever 72, and an upright posture urging spring 74 as an upright posture urging means for urging the upright tilting body 71 to the upright posture are provided. When the upright tilting body 71 is tilted when the bicycle 1 is pulled out from the storage position, the operation unit interlocking member 43 is interlocked via the release cam 73 and the swing lever 72, and the platform elevating device 7 is used. The locked state at the lower position is released. Therefore, according to this configuration, with a simple structure, after the bicycle 1 is placed in the storage position of the platform 12, the upright tilting body 71 can be automatically returned to the upright position, and the platform elevating device 7 can be used. Since the operation unit interlocking member 43 can be shared as a component for releasing the locked state at the lower position, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
