First, the case of storing a bicycle in a garage will be explained.

The user places the bicycle 10 he/she has ridden on in the groove of the tire guide rail 8 of the entrance gate 4 with the blue lamp 169 on and places the bicycle in a predetermined position. In this embodiment, a dedicated bicycle based on the Shintar system is used. Next, bicycle 10
Press to push the cover 12 on the top of the bicycle into the handle guide 6. As a result, the cover 12 is pressed by the cam 13 protruding from the lower surface of the handle guide 6, and due to this pressing force, the lifting shaft 108 descends against the elasticity of the coil spring 114. By lowering the elevating shaft 108, the cam member 11
The engagement state between the flat surfaces 136, 138 of the two lock members 128, 130 and the flat surfaces 132, 134 of the lock members 128, 130 is released, and the handle wheels 20, 122 of the bicycle 10 become free around the balls 124, 126. Next, the user sets the right side bevel 18 to the highest position and moves the handles 120, 122 toward the shafts 124, 126 in the folding direction.
The handles 120, 122 are bent, and the lock portions 128, 130 are positioned at the upper end of the cam member 112 as shown in FIG. In the above-mentioned handle folding operation, "the handles 120, 122 are moved to the shafts 124, 1
26, the member 140 rotates and winds up the wire 142 as shown at the opening in FIG.
The swinging arm 152 interlocking with the swinging arm 1 rotates a predetermined angle in the counterclockwise rotation direction in FIG. 6 about the shaft 154.
The above rotation about the axis 154 of the rod 1
46 is the cylinder 1 resisting the elasticity of the coil 150.
44, the tip of the rod 146 ironly engages the index recess 156, and the beta 18 is fixed at the highest position. At the same time, due to the rotation of the swinging arm 158 about the shaft 160, the clutch piece 164 moves in a direction away from the clutch piece 166 against the elasticity of the coil spring, and the clutch 162 is disengaged, causing the clutch piece 164 to move away from the clutch piece 166.
8 and the rear wheel of the bicycle 10 are cut off. Next, the user inserts the magnetic card into the card slot and
Set the right bevel 18 to the highest position.

At this time, the magnetic card signal is read by a card reader, and entry information is input to the outside of the vehicle.
When the bicycle 10 is pushed backwards by a predetermined amount, the bicycle IQ
As a result, the entry detection and stopper 14 is brought down, the sensing switch is turned on, and the final position regulating stopper 16 is raised. Further, when the bicycle 10 is pushed in the direction of the steering wheel 32, it is checked by the position regulating stopper 161 whether the right lever 18 of the bicycle 10 is set at the highest position. If the right bevel 18 is not set to the highest position, the bevel 18 will be locked to the stopper 16 and the bicycle 10 will not be able to move in the direction of the horizontal rail 32. When the cover 12 of the bicycle 10 is pushed downward by a predetermined amount, the cover 12 of the bicycle 10 is
A. The chuck 52 waiting in position is pushed to the right. After pushing the bicycle iQ under the horizontal rail 32, the user takes out the magnetic card and completes the task of entering the bicycle.
When the chuck 52 is pushed by the cover 12 of the bicycle 10 and the brush 58 comes into contact with the electric wire 64, the chuck 5
The electromagnet 50 is energized at the second position, and this causes the front adsorption part 170 provided at the handle joint part of the bicycle 10 to
The five electromagnets of the chuck 52 are attracted and coupled. Next, the motor 40 is driven by the controller, the sprocket 34 is rotated, and the handle chuck 52 is moved to the right in FIG. It stops when it moves to position A4. Bicycle 1 in conjunction with handle chuck 52
0 automatically moves along the tire guide 8 to the upper right in FIG. Adsorption part 1 provided above
72 is attracted and coupled to the chuck 54 by magnetic force.
When chuck 54' moves to position B, chuck 52 moves to position B4. Next, the computer selects a garage in which the bicycle 10 is to be stored, and a selection command is sent to the motor 28. Now, a case will be explained in which the garage 66 on the first floor is selected. In this case, a drive signal is not sent to the motor 28, but a drive signal is sent from the computer to the motor 40, the output shaft of the motor 40 rotates, and the sprocket 34 rotates in the counterclockwise direction of rotation of the hour hand in the upper part of FIG. do.

The rotation of the sprocket 34 causes the bicycle 10 to move to the right in FIG. Driven by the motor 40, the front wheel of the bicycle 10 first enters, for example, a tire guide 78 in the garage 66, is carried into this, and when the chuck 52 reaches the 5th position, the brush 58 comes off from the electric wire 64 and the chuck 52
The bicycle 10 is released from its grip on the bicycle 10, and the bicycle 10 is also sent to the right in FIG. 11 by the chuck 54. When the gripping state of the chuck 52 against the suction part 1701 is released, the cover 12 of the bicycle 10 is brought to the handle guide 86 in the garage and ironed thereto. Moreover, when the bicycle quantity 0 is sent into the garage 66 by the rotation of the chain 44, the rear tire of the bicycle 10 enters the tire guide 78, is iron-loaded into this, and the chuck 54 is rotated. When the brush reaches the position, even if the brush comes off from the electric wire 64, the fixation between the chuck 54 and the suction part 172 is released, and the bicycle 10 becomes free at the entrance of the garage 66. Since the garage 66 is inclined at a predetermined angle in the downward direction, the tire guide of the garage 66? 8 and the bicycle 101 which has been transferred to the handle guide 86, due to its own weight,
Guided by the tire guide 78 and handle guide 86, the front wheel of the bicycle 10 moves towards the back of the garage 66, and the front wheel of the bicycle 10 reaches the garage 66.
The bicycle 10 stops running when it collides with the stopper 102 of the stopper mechanism turtle 04. As a result of the above-described operation, the bicycle that has entered the tire guide 78 of the garage 66 collides with the bicycle in front and comes to a stop.
In this way, the bicycles are sequentially stored on the tire guide 78 in the garage 66. During the above-mentioned bicycle storage work, the gate turtle yellow lamp 174 corresponding to the tire guide 78 lights up. Next, a case will be described in which a bicycle is stored in the garage 66 on the second floor.

When the bicycle QO has moved to the horizontal rail 32 in the manner entrusted to it, the computer selects a garage on the second floor or above and sends a drive signal to the motor 28, causing the output shaft of the motor 28 to rotate and the cursor 24 to move. Rising along the pillars 22, 22a,
The bicycle is pulled up in conjunction with the rise of the face rail 32 and floats up from the tire guide 8 on the first floor.

When the lower end of the bicycle 10 is located on the extension of the tire guide of the garage 66 on the second floor, the driving of the motor 28 is stopped. Next, the motor 40 is driven by the command from the computer, and the bicycle 10 is moved onto the tire guide 80 of the garage 66 on the second floor as shown in FIGS. is stored at the innermost end of the tire guide 80. In this way, bicycles are sequentially stored in the garage 66 from the third floor to the first floor. Next, we will explain what happens when the user takes out the bicycle.

First, the user goes to Gate 5 where the birth lamp OK176 is on and inserts the magnetic card into the card slot.

The signal from the card is sent to the computer, and the stopper 102 of the stopper mechanism 104 of the tire guide in the garage 66 on the top floor of the gate 5 is retracted in accordance with the computer's command, and the bicycle on the tire guide on the fourth floor is moved by its own weight as shown in Figure 1. Move up and to the right. According to computer instructions, the horizontal rail 33 of the bicycle gripping and feeding mechanism is
The bicycles are waiting on the top floor, and the bicycles on the top floor are placed on the tire guides 9 in the manner described above by the bicycle gripping and feeding mechanism and the bicycle lifting/lowering mechanism, and are pushed out from the exit gate 5. Next, the user pulls out the bicycle 10 from the gate 5 and removes the magnetic card from the insertion slot. After that, the user operates the handlebars 120, 122 (
(see Fig. 6) around shafts 124, 126,
When the folded handles 120 and 122 are unfolded,
Locking members 128 and 130 for the upper surface of the cam member 112
is released, and the lifting shaft 108 and the cam member 11
2 is raised by the elasticity of the coil spring 114. When the cam member 112 is raised, the cam plane 13 of the cam member 112
6,138 and the locking member 128, the plane 132 of i30,
134 abut against the shafts 124 of the locking members 128, 130.
, 126 rotates the plane 13 of the cam member 112.
6,138 and the handle 120,122
is fixed to the bicycle handlebar attachment pipe 106. At the same time, the wire 14 is rotated by the rotation of the backing material 140 (see FIG. 8) as the handles 120 and 122 are rotated.
2 moves in the opposite direction to the direction shown in FIG.
64 moves in the direction of the clutch piece 166 by the elasticity of the coil spring and becomes engaged with the clutch piece 166, and the power transmission mechanisms on the pedal 18 side and the rear wheel side of the bicycle are brought into a connected state. Manual action of spreading the handles 120, 122 automatically makes the bicycle ready for use. In this way, the bicycles on the upper floors are taken out one after another, and the operations of the various devices necessary for this are controlled by a computer.
In this embodiment, assuming that the number of gates is 20 and the number of bicycles that can be stored in each of the tire guides in the garage is 10, all 600 bicycles can be stored in the main body by this device in approximately 14 minutes. Note that various design changes are possible when implementing the present invention, and the present invention is not particularly limited to the illustrated embodiments. In particular, the present invention is not limited to having a garage with a vertically multilayered structure, but may have a structure with only one floor. Further, the device for sending the bicycle to the garage and the device for taking out the bicycle from the garage are not limited to automatic devices, but may be configured to be manually operated by the user. As described above, the present invention prevents people from entering the garage, and the bicycle is moved into the garage by the bicycle's own weight, so parking efficiency per unit area can be improved. Moreover, it has the effect of reducing power costs.
