Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bicycle holding rack device for a vertical circulation bicycle parking device.

Typical conventional rack devices of this type include a clamp type and a drop-in inclined guide type. That is, in the clamp method, two elongated rollers are set up in parallel and connected with a spring so that they approach each other, and the front wheel of the bicycle is pushed between the rollers. However, this method requires a large amount of force to push in, and when the bicycle is taken out, it gets caught on a part of the adjacent bicycle, which has the disadvantage of making it easy for the adjacent bicycle to slip out. In addition, in the drop-in slope guide method, the wheel guide is made into a mountain shape with an upwardly facing part and a downwardly facing part, and the front wheel of the bicycle is dropped through the upwardly facing part and into the downwardly facing part, but if the tire diameter is small, the guide There is a risk of the mudguard coming into contact and damaging it.

This invention reduces costs by reducing the number of parts, makes it easy to put in and take out the bicycle, and maintains stability while being held.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rack device for holding a bicycle that does not damage the mudguard.

For this reason, the configuration of the present invention is such that in a vertical circulation type bicycle parking device having a plurality of pallets on which high and low array racks are mounted, each rack is attached to the pallet at an appropriate upward angle so that the bicycle can be parked. a channel-shaped wheel guide that guides the front wheels of the wheel guide; and a channel-shaped wheel guide that is integrally attached to the front of the wheel guide in an extended manner and whose upper part is widened by the amount of insertion of the mudguard, and a stopper to the rear of the front wheel and the A vertical U-shaped wheel holding auxiliary frame that also serves as a guide for guiding the front wheels and supports the rear half of the front wheels, and a wheel holding auxiliary frame located in front of this wheel holding auxiliary frame that hangs down from the beam of the shelf in front of the pallet. A vertical U-shaped wheel holding main frame that supports the front half of the front wheel, and a horizontal U that is attached toward the front from the middle of this wheel holding main frame and serves as a stopper for the front wheel forward and a guide for guiding the front wheel. It is characterized by having a letter-shaped front frame.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a vertical circulation bicycle parking device, 2 is an entrance/exit, 3 is a pallet provided inside, and 4 is a chain of the circulation device. Further, in Fig. 2, 5 is a bicycle, 6a is a high rack, and 6 is a bicycle.
b is a low alignment rack. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the vertical circulation type bicycle parking device 1 has a large number of pallets 3 inside it, and the pallets 3 have a number of pallets 3 as shown in FIG. ,
Approximately 10 to 20 bicycles 5 are loaded in parallel alternately via the high rack 6a and the low rack 6b.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the high arrangement rack 6a of FIG. The rack 6a consists of a wheel guide 7, a wheel holding auxiliary frame 8, a connecting frame 9, a front frame 10, a wheel holding main frame 11, etc. That is, the wheel guide 7
It consists of a channel-shaped member that is attached to the upper surface of the bicycle at an appropriate upward angle θ and guides the front wheel of the bicycle. The wheel holding auxiliary frame 8 is attached to the front of the wheel guide 7, and its upper part is widened by the amount of insertion of the rear lower end of the mudguard for the front wheel of the bicycle, and also serves as a rearward stopper and guide for the front wheel. It consists of a vertical U-shape that supports the rear half of the front wheel. Connection frame 9 connects pallet 3
The beam 13 of the front lower shelf is connected to the wheel holding auxiliary frame 8. The front frame 10 is
It is a horizontal U-shaped piece that is attached toward the front from the middle of the main wheel holding frame 11 and serves as a stopper and a guide for moving the front wheel forward. The wheel holding main frame 1 includes a wheel holding auxiliary frame 8.
It is located in front of the pallet 3, hangs down from the beam 12 of the upper shelf in front of the pallet 3, has a lower end supported by the beam 13, and has a vertical U-shape that supports the front half of the front wheel.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the low array rack 6b of FIG. 2. The rack 6b also includes a wheel guide 7, a wheel holding auxiliary frame 8, a connecting frame 9, a front frame 10, and a wheel holding main frame 11 as described above.
It consists of such things as However, the connection frame 9 connects the wheel holding main frame 11 and the wheel holding auxiliary frame 8, and also connects the wheel holding main frame 11 and the wheel holding auxiliary frame 8.
1 hangs down from the beam 13 of the lower shelf.

The function of the vertical circulation bicycle parking device 1 is as follows.
A drive device (not shown) rotates the chain 4 to place the required pallets 3 at the loading/unloading port 2. Here, when the pallet 3 is moved, rapid changes in acceleration occur at the time of starting and stopping and at the exchange point between the rotating part and the straight part. Therefore, the bicycle 5 must be securely held by the racks 6a, 6b so that the bicycle 5 does not come off the racks 6a, 6b and fall from the pallet 3 at that time.

When the bicycle 5 is placed in the racks 6a, 6b, the front wheel of the bicycle 5 is lifted along the wheel guide 7. When the bicycle 5 is further pushed forward, the front wheel is guided by the front frame 10 and falls down to be held by the wheel holding main frame 11 and the wheel holding auxiliary frame 8. In order to prevent the rear lower end of the front wheel mudguard from coming into contact with the wheel holding auxiliary frame 8 when the mudguard falls, the upper part of the frame 8 is widened to prevent damage to the mudguard.

Figure 5 shows a bicycle 5 mounted on the high arrangement rack 6a of Figure 3.
The same applies to the low arrangement rack 6b shown in FIG. Fifth
When the bicycle 5 is held easily as shown in the figure, the front wheel swings out in the left and right direction on both frames 8 and 1.
The tilting of the front wheel is corrected at the upper and lower parts of the main frame 11. Note that 14 in FIG. 5 indicates a mudguard for the front wheel.

To take out the bicycle 5 from the state shown in FIG. 5, the procedure for putting in the bicycle 5 can be reversed. That is, it is sufficient to lift the front wheel of the bicycle 5 by an appropriate height and then pull it rearward (to the right in FIG. 5).

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the low arrangement rack 6b, in which, compared to the case of FIG.
The only difference is that they have autonomy. Of course, the connecting frame 9 can also be omitted for the high arrangement rack 6a of FIG. 3 by using the stay 15 as shown in FIG. 6.

As mentioned above, the rack device of the present invention has a channel-shaped wheel guide attached to the pallet at an upward angle, and a front wheel of the bicycle attached to the front of the guide. a vertical U-shaped wheel holding auxiliary frame that supports the rear half of the front wheel; a vertical U-shaped wheel holding main frame that is located in front of this auxiliary frame and supports the front half of the front wheel; Since it consists of a horizontal U-shaped front frame that is attached facing forward, there are few parts and no moving parts.In addition, when manufacturing, the wheel guides are made of commercially available channel steel, and each frame is made of commercially available channel steel. It is only necessary to bend a round steel bar, etc., which improves economic efficiency and reduces costs. Furthermore, in both the high-array rack and the low-array rack, the wheel guides are attached to the pallet at an upward angle, so they can be applied even when the rack device is self-propelled, and the wheel auxiliary frame is Because it is integrally connected to the wheel guide in an extension manner in front of the wheel guide,
The rack pitch can be shortened to save space, and to easily put the bicycle in, all you have to do is push the bicycle forward while guiding the front wheel with the wheel guide. It falls into the wheel holding auxiliary frame and is held by both frames, and thereafter, as described in the previous embodiment, forward movement is blocked by the front frame, and backward movement is blocked by the wheel holding auxiliary frame. Furthermore, since horizontal shake is corrected at the lower portions of the main frame and the auxiliary frame, and tilting is corrected at the upper and lower portions of the main frame, stability is achieved. In particular, since the upper part of the auxiliary frame is widened by the amount that the rear lower end of the front wheel mudguard is inserted into, the mudguard does not interfere with the rack, preventing damage to the mudguard, and making it easier to remove the bicycle from the rack. Even when riding a bicycle, all you have to do is lift the front wheel of the bicycle and pull it backwards, which is easy and does not cause any problems with neighboring bicycles, so the effects of this invention are extremely large.
