Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention is useful when many commuters and shoppers go to the nearest station or supermarket at the same time, for example, during morning and evening rush hours or when shopping in the evening. This invention relates to a large-accommodating bicycle parking facility that allows smooth entry and exit even when entering and exiting bicycles concentrated in the vicinity of a market.

(Prior art and its problems) Various bicycle parking facilities have been proposed in the past, but particularly large-accommodation facilities include one in which bicycles are suspended from a vertical circulation chain;
There is one in which a large number of pallets are suspended from the chain and a bicycle is placed on the pallets.

However, in all of these methods, when commuters, shoppers, etc. enter and exit bicycles all at once, they cannot smoothly enter and exit the bicycle, and it is difficult to enter and exit the bicycle easily. Waiting time is long.

(Object of the Invention) This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its main purpose is to provide a bicycle parking facility that shortens the time required for entering and exiting the bicycle.

(Example) First, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 will be described in detail.

A...It is a cylindrical multi-level bicycle parking lot with a total of four levels, _F1 to _F4 .

1a to 1d are entrances and exits provided on the outer periphery of the parking lot A, one for each layer.

B...This is an endless escalator device that wraps around the outer circumference of the parking lot A in a double spiral, inside and outside, in opposite directions in the vertical direction, and connects its upper and lower ends. Escalator device B
The upper surface of the movable platform moves along the lower surface of the crossing tread D, which will be described later, and furthermore, below the crossing tread D, the movable platforms of the escalators facing oppositely to each other are moved on the same horizontal plane. They are paralleled.

2a, 2b . . . are two guide rails of the escalator device B, which are installed in the spiral shape and endless shape. Note that 2a is an outer guide rail, and 2b is an inner guide rail.

3...A large number of movable platforms guided by guide rails 2a and 2b. The movable table 3 has two rollers 4a, 5a supported at each end thereof, and the rollers 4 and 5 are rollingly guided along a guide rail 2a and a guide rail 2b, respectively. . Note that the guide rails 2a and 2b are connected to each movable platform 3.
The mutual spacing between them is determined so that the top surfaces of the two always remain horizontal.

C... is a driving device for escalator device B,
In the embodiment, it is provided at the bottom of the escalator device B.

6... This is a vertical electric motor of the drive device C, and in the embodiment, ten rows of chain sprockets 7 are fixedly installed on its output shaft 6a.

8a to 8j are rotating shafts provided vertically at appropriate intervals at positions parallel to the arcs drawn by the guide rails 2a and 2b.

9a to 9j are chain sprockets fixedly installed below the rotating shafts 8a to 8j, respectively.

10a to 10j are chains engaged with chain sprockets 7 and 9a to 9j, respectively.

11a to 11j are chain sprockets fixedly installed above the rotating shafts 8a to 8j, respectively.

12...Each chain sprocket 11a to 11
The link chain is an endless link chain that is engaged with a chain sprocket (not shown) that is appropriately pivoted over the entire length of the guide rails 2a and 2b. Note that each movable base 3 is attached to its link chain 12.

D: Crossing treads extending from the floor of each entrance/exit 1a to 1d.

This parking facility is constructed near the station or a supermarket, and the electric motor 6 is driven. Then, the movable table 3 circulates up and down while turning spirally in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.
Therefore, if a large number of bicycle commuters, shoppers, etc. enter the vehicle at once, they will first enter the first layer.
Since F ₁ is empty, bicycles E can be parked on that layer F ₁ by crossing the crossing tread D of layer F ₁ , and commuters, shoppers, etc. can exit by crossing the crossing tread D again. . Next, when layer F ₁ is full, passengers board the movable platform 3 from the crossing tread D of layer F ₁ in the posture shown in FIG. 7 and move upward. Then, after transferring to the crossing tread D on the second floor _F2 and parking the bicycle E on the second floor _F2 , commuters, shoppers, etc.
Next, get on the movable platform 3 that moves downward, and go to layer F _1.
All you have to do is transfer to the crossing tread D and exit. Furthermore, when layer F ₂ becomes full, the 3rd layer will be opened in the same manner as last time.
F ₃ , and once layer F ₃ is full again, the fourth layer F ₄ is filled, and the crossing tread D of layers F ₂ and F ₃ is installed in the same way.
The bicycle E is parked, and commuters and shoppers board the movable platform 3 that moves downward.
All you have to do is climb over the crossing treads D on layers F ₂ and F ₃ , transfer to the crossing tread D on layer F ₁ , and exit.

On the other hand, when leaving the parked bicycle E, a commuter or a shopper goes to layer _F1 and then rides on the movable platform 3 that moves upward to get to layers _F2 to _F4 . Then, the rider and the bicycle E can get on the crossing tread D on the layer F ₁ or on the movable platform 3 that moves downward, transfer to the crossing tread D on the layer F ₁ , and exit.

As described above, even if the bicycles E are entered and exited all at once, they can be entered and exited sequentially using the escalator device B in a continuous manner and with the minimum waiting time.

Next, regarding the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, differences from the previous embodiment will be described.

In this case, the multi-story bicycle parking lot A' is formed into an oval shape, and the escalator device B' is the parking lot.
The outer periphery of A' is wound spirally as in the previous embodiment, and its upper and lower ends are connected to form an endless shape. The other structural functions are the same as those of the previous embodiment, so their explanation will be omitted.

In these embodiments, each layer F ₁ to F ₄ , F′ ₁ to F′ ₄
and one entrance/exit 1a to 1d, 1a' to 1d', and the escalator devices B and B' move movable platforms 3 that move in opposite directions to the same horizontal plane below the crossing treads D and D'. Since they are arranged in parallel above, the crossing treads D and D' are connected to each layer F ₁ to F ₄ , F' ₁ to F' ₄
This reduces the number of times commuters, shoppers, etc. must transfer to the crossing treads D and D' while climbing up and down the movable platform 3. It can be a minimum number of times.

The above descriptions are all examples, and for example, the entrances and exits 1a to 1d, 1a' to 1d' are connected to each layer _F1 to _F4 , _F'1
~F' ₄ are provided at two locations, one for exclusive use for exits and one for exclusive use for entrance, and the descending side movable platforms 3 of escalator devices B and B' pass below the crossing treads extending from the floor of the exit. Alternatively, the ascending side movable platform 3 may be configured to pass under a crossing step extending from the floor of the entrance. In addition, the driving device C may be provided in a plurality of locations, and replacement of each component with equivalents is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

As is clear from the above description, this invention not only allows the bicycle E to enter and exit the escalator device B and B' continuously, but also allows the bicycle E to enter and exit the escalator simultaneously. Compared to parking facilities, the waiting time for entering and exiting a vehicle can be extremely shortened. Furthermore, since the entire area of parking lots A and A' can be used as a parking lot, they can accommodate a large number of bicycles. Furthermore, in conventional parking systems, such as those in which bicycles are suspended from a vertical circulation chain, or those in which a number of pallets are suspended from the chain and bicycles are placed on top of the pallets, suspended bicycles are There is no need for a mechanism to secure the bicycles on the pallet so that they do not collide with each other or fall over.
