【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、二輪車駐車システムに関し、特に、盗難防止用のロック装置の悪戯やロックせずに駐車する不正駐車を早期に発見し、ロック装置の悪戯や不正駐車を抑制する二輪車駐車システムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
二輪車駐車システムとして、従来から駐車する自転車やオートバイ等の二輪車を盗難から守るために駐車車両をロックするロック装置を備えたものがあり、その一例を以下に説明する。
【0003】
各駐車スペースにロック装置を備えた駐輪機ユニットを設け、利用者が駐輪機ユニットに二輪車を押し込むと自動的にロック装置が動作して二輪車をロックする。ロック装置により二輪車のロックが完了するとそのロック信号が料金精算機側に送信され、課金動作を開始する。料金精算機で駐車料金を精算すると、料金精算機側からロック解錠信号が駐輪機ユニットに送信されロック装置のロックを自動解除する構成である(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0004】

【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上述のような盗難防止のためのロック装置を備える二輪車駐車システムにおいては、従来から空車状態でロック装置をロック状態にする悪戯が多く、駐車スペースが空いているにも拘わらず利用したい人が駐車できない状況がある。また、特に有料駐車場等ではロックすることを規則で定めているにも拘わらず、駐車料金の支払いを逃れるためロックせずに駐車する不正駐車が多い。現状では、このようなロック装置の悪戯や不正駐車に対しては、係員が定期的に駐車場内を見回って監視することで対処しているのが一般的であり、悪戯や不正駐車を抑制するのには十分とは言えなかった。
【0006】
本発明は上記問題点に着目してなされたもので、ロック装置の悪戯や不正駐車を早期に発見できるようにすることにより、ロック装置の悪戯や不正駐車を低減可能な二輪車駐車システムを提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
このため、請求項1の発明は、各駐車スペースに設けられて二輪車の有無を検出する在車検出装置と、各駐車スペースに設けられて二輪車をロックするためのロック装置と、同一駐車スペースの前記在車検出装置及び前記ロック装置から在車を示す在車検出信号及びロック状態を示す施錠検出信号が共に入力しているときのみ駐車正常と判定する判定手段と、を備えて構成した。
【0008】
かかる構成では、在車検出装置は、二輪車を検出すると在車検出信号を出力する。駐車した二輪車をロック装置でロックするとロック装置から施錠検出信号が発生する。判定手段は、在車検出信号と施錠検出信号が共に入力していれば駐車正常と判断し、それ以外の状態では異常と判断する。
【0009】
具体的には、請求項2のように、前記判定手段は、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が入力していない状態で前記ロック装置から施錠検出信号が入力するときに悪戯と判定して通報する構成とするとよい。この場合、請求項3のように、前記ロック装置は、前記判定手段が悪戯と判定したときにロックを非常解除するための非常解除手段を備える構成とすれば、悪戯によるロック状態を解除でき、駐車スペースを利用可能な状態にできるようになる。
【0010】
請求項4のように、前記ロック装置は、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が発生しているときにロック可能な構成とするとよい。
かかる構成では、在車検出装置から在車検出信号が発生していなければ、ロック装置のロックができないので、ロック装置の悪戯を抑制できるようになる。
【0011】
請求項5の発明では、各駐車スペースの在車検出装置の在車検出信号に基づいて駐車料金を算出し各駐車スペースの駐車料金精算を集中管理する料金精算装置を備え、該料金精算装置は、各駐車スペースの識別情報の入力により当該識別情報に対応する駐車スペースの料金精算処理を実行し、料金精算の完了により該当する駐車スペースのロック装置のロック解錠信号を出力する構成とした。
【0012】
かかる構成では、有料の二輪車駐車システムとすることができる。この場合、請求項6のように、前記料金精算装置が、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が入力してから所定時間経過後に課金処理を行う構成であるとき、前記判定手段は、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が入力してから前記所定時間経過しても前記ロック装置から施錠検出信号が入力しないときは不法駐車と判定して通報する構成とするとよい。
【0013】
請求項7のように、各駐車スペースに、在車/空車を表示する表示部を備える構成とするとよい。この場合、請求項8のように、前記表示部は、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が発生していないときに点灯して空車を示し、前記在車検出装置から在車検出信号が発生すると点滅動作し、前記ロック装置から施錠検出信号が発生すると消灯して在車を示す構成とするとよい。
【0014】
請求項9のように、前記ロック装置として、駐車する二輪車自体を拘束してロックする構成の第1ロック装置及び駐車スペースの入口を塞いで駐車する二輪車をロックする構成の第2ロック装置の少なくとも1つを備える構成とするとよい。
【0015】
請求項10のように、前記第1及び第2ロック装置を共に備えるときに、前記判定手段は、前記在車検出装置の在車検出信号と前記第1及び第2ロック装置の少なくとも一方の施錠検出信号が入力しているときに駐車正常と判定する構成とするとよい。
【0016】
前記在車検出装置は、具体的には請求項11のように、地上に固定したベース部材と、該ベース部材にスライド可能に載置されて駐車する二輪車の前輪から押圧力を受ける車輪受けと、一端が前記ベース部材に係止され他端が前記車輪受けに係止され前記押圧力により車輪受けがスライドすると伸張し前記押圧力がなくなると車輪受けを初期位置に弾性復帰させる弾性部材と、車輪受けの最大移動位置を規制する第1ストッパと、車輪受けの前記初期位置を規制する第2ストッパと、車輪受けが所定以上スライドしたことを検出して在車検出信号を出力するセンサ部と、を備える構成である。
【0017】
また、請求項12のように、前記在車検出装置は、地面上方の固定部分に上端部を回動可能に取付けたレバー部材と、地面に対して斜めとなる初期位置に前記レバー部材を弾性支持する弾性部材と、前記レバー部材の下端部に当該レバー部材に対して回動可能に取付けて駐車する二輪車の前輪から押圧力を受ける車輪受けと、該車輪受けに作用する前記押圧力によりレバー部材が前記弾性部材の弾性力に抗して回動したときにレバー部材の最大回動位置を規制するストッパと、前記レバー部材が所定以上回動したことを検出して在車検出信号を出力するセンサ部と、を備える構成でもよい。
【0018】
また、請求項13のように、前記在車検出装置は、地面に固定したベース部材と、地面と平行方向に回動可能なように前記ベース部材に取付け駐車する二輪車の前輪からの押圧力を受ける車輪受けと、二輪車の駐車方向に対して斜めとなる初期位置に前記車輪受けを弾性支持する弾性部材と、前記押圧力により車輪受けが前記弾性部材の弾性力に抗して回動したときに車輪受けの最大回動位置を規制するストッパと、前記車輪受けが所定以上回動したことを検出して在車検出信号を出力するセンサ部と、を備える構成でもよい。この場合、請求項14のように、前記ベース部材がストッパを兼ねる構成とするとよい。
【0019】
また、請求項15のように、前記在車検出装置は、地上に固定したベース部材と、二輪車の駐車方向に対して手前側の基端部を前記ベース部材に回動可能に取付け駐車する二輪車の前輪からの踏圧力を受けて先端部が下降する車輪受けと、該車輪受けが地面と斜めとなる初期位置に弾性支持する弾性部材と、前記踏圧力が作用して車輪受けが下降したとき二輪車の前輪が車輪受けを通り過ぎないよう前輪先端位置を規制するストッパと、前記車輪受けが所定以上下降したことを検出して在車検出信号を出力するセンサ部と、を備える構成でもよい。
【0020】
また、請求項16のように、前記在車検出装置は、互いに隣接する駐車スペースを仕切るため地面から所定高さ位置に設けられる梁部材に設備されて二輪車の金属部分を感知して在車検出信号を出力する金属センサとしてもよい。
【0021】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図1は、本発明に係る二輪車駐車システムの一実施形態の構成を示すブロック図であり、主にオートバイやスクータ等の二輪自動車を対象とする有料駐車場の場合を示す。
【0022】
図1において、本実施形態の二輪車駐車システムは、駐車場の例えば出入口近傍に設置される料金精算機1と、駐車場内に区画されて設けられた多数の駐車スペースA,B,・・・にそれぞれ設備されるロック装置2、在車検出装置3及び表示灯4と、例えば管理所等に設備する警報装置5とを備えて構成される。
【0023】
前記料金精算機1は、各駐車スペースA,B,・・・の駐車料金を集中管理すると共にロック装置2の悪戯及びロックせずに駐車する不正駐車を判定する機能を有するもので、その構成は、制御部11と、計時ユニット12と、料金表示部13と、投入金表示部14と、金銭処理ユニット15と、入力操作部16と、プリンタ17と、を含んで構成されている。
【0024】
制御部11は、CPU等の演算装置からなり、各駐車スペースA,B,・・・のロック装置2及び在車検出装置3からの各出力信号を受けて正常駐車、ロック装置の悪戯及び不正駐車をそれぞれ判定し判定結果に基づいて警報装置5の動作を制御する。また、制御部11は、ロック装置2、在車検出装置3、金銭処理ユニット15及び入力操作部16からの各信号を受け、計時ユニット12からの時刻データの読込み、料金表示部13や投入金表示部14の表示動作、プリンタ17の印刷動作等を制御して料金精算処理を実行すると共に、ロック装置2に対するロック解除信号の送信動作を行う。従って、制御部11が判定手段の機能を有する。
【0025】
計時ユニット12は現在時刻を計時するものであり、料金表示部13は制御部11で算出された駐車料金を表示するものであり、投入金表示部14は利用者が料金精算機1に投入した金額を表示するものである。
【0026】
金銭処理ユニット15は、料金精算時に紙幣や硬貨を受け付け金額データを制御部11に送信し、釣銭がある場合には釣銭の返却処理をするものである。
入力操作部16は、例えばテンキーや領収書発行ボタン等を備え、料金精算時等に利用者自身が利用した駐車スペースの識別番号をテンキーで入力操作したり、領収書発行ボタンで領収書発行を要求操作したりするものである。
【0027】
プリンタ17は、要求された領収書等を印刷し発行するものである。
尚、料金精算機1には、図示しないが従来同様に、料金精算機の操作手順や駐車場の利用規則等を利用者に音声案内する音声案内ユニット等が設けられる。また、例えばサービス券、プリペイドカード、定期券等が利用可能な駐車場には、カードリーダ・ライタが組込まれる。
【0028】
ロック装置2は、図2及び図3に示すように駐車する例えばオートバイ等の二輪車6をロックするためのもので、駐車スペースの列設方向に沿って適当な間隔を設けて立設した支柱24により支持した梁25に固定される装置本体21と、装置本体21に一端が固定され他端にロック部材23を有するチェーン22とを備える構成で、駐車する二輪車6自体をチェーン22で拘束してロックする第1ロック装置に相当するものである。ロック装置2のロック機構は、従来公知のもの(例えば実開平3−69587号公報等)で、チェーン22を二輪車6のハンドル等に巻き回してロック部材23を装置本体21に差し込むと、装置本体21内部の係止部材がロック部材23を係止してロックすると共に、装置本体21内部のスイッチがONして施錠検出信号を料金精算機1に送信する。また、料金精算機1からロック解錠信号を受信すると装置本体21内の駆動部が動作して前記係止部材を駆動してロック部材23の係止を外しロック部材23のロック状態を自動解除し、ロック部材23を装置本体21内部の弾性部材の付勢力で外に押し出すよう構成されている。更に、ロック装置2は、例えば実開平3−69587号公報等で公知の非常解除手段としての非常解錠用鍵を備える構成である。この非常解錠用鍵は、装置本体21の適所に設けられ、ロック部材23が悪戯により装置本体21に差し込まれてロックされた場合に、ロック部材23に対する係止部材の係止状態を鍵操作により解除可能な構成である。
【0029】
前記在車検出装置3は、各駐車スペースA,B,・・における二輪車6の有無を検出するもので、ベース部材31と、車輪受け32と、弾性部材としてのコイルバネ33と、第1ストッパ34と、第2ストッパ35と、センサ部36とを備えて構成され、各駐車スペースA,B,・・・に図2及び図3に示すように地上に固定されて設けられる。
【0030】
前記ベース部材31は、板金製で地上に固定されるもので、図4に示すように略コの字状で両側面下端部に鍔部31aを有する形状をなし、下面に前記コイルバネ33の一端を係止する係止ピン31bが植設されている。
【0031】
前記車輪受け32は、前記ベース部材31にスライド可能に載置され駐車する二輪車6の前輪から押圧力を受けるもので、板金製の上部部材32Aと下部部材32Bからなる。上部部材32Aは、駐車時に二輪車6の前輪が当接したときに押圧力を受ける前面壁32a(図4参照)、略三角形状の一対の側面壁32b,32b及び前輪を載せ易いように手前側端部を傾斜させた底面壁32cにより手前側及び上面開放の略箱状に形成されている(図2及び図4参照)。下部部材32Bは、図4に示すように略コの字状をなし前記底面壁32cと一体化され、側面内側にベース部材31の鍔部31a上面を輪転する車輪32dが回転自由に設けられている。更に、下部部材32Bには、車輪受け32の移動方向に沿ってベース部材31に形成された切欠部(図示せず)を貫通し前記コイルバネ33の他端を係止する係止ピン32e(図5参照)が植設されている。
【0032】
コイルバネ33は、前述のように一端がベース部材31の係止ピン31bに係止され他端が車輪受け32の下部部材32Bの係止ピン32eに係止され、二輪車6の前輪からの押圧力で車輪受け32がスライドすると伸張し押圧力がなくなると車輪受け32を初期位置に弾性復帰させるものである。
【0033】
第1ストッパ34は、車輪受け32の最大移動位置を規制するもので、図2に示すようにベース部材31の前方側に、車輪受け32の上部部材32Aの前面壁32aが当接可能なように設け、例えば地面にアンカーボルト等により固定する。
【0034】
第2ストッパ35は、車輪受け32の初期位置を規制するもので、図2及び図4に示すようにベース部材31の両側面に、車輪受け32の車輪32dが車輪受け32の初期位置で当接するよう固定されたピン部材からなる。尚、ベース部材31のいずれか一方の側面に設けてもよい。
【0035】
センサ部36は、車輪受け32が所定以上スライドしたことを検出して在車検出信号を出力するもので、例えば図2の破線で示すようにベース部材31の側面外側に取付けられ、車輪受け32の下部部材32Bの近接を検出してONとなる近接スイッチである。尚、センサ部36として、マイクロスイッチや光センサを用いて車輪受け32を検出するようにしてもよい。
【0036】
前記表示灯4は、駐車スペースA,B,・・の在車/空車を表示するもので、例えば図2及び図3に示すように、各駐車スペースA,B,・・の入口側の隣接駐車スペースとの境界に植設した支柱7上端部に設けられ、ロック装置2及び在車検出装置3と電気的に接続され在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が入力しないときに点灯して空車を示し、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が入力すると点滅動作し、点滅動作中にロック装置2から施錠検出信号が入力すると消灯して在車を示す構成である。表示灯4は横からも視認し易いように図2に示すように表示部分を支柱7の表面から突出させるようにしている。尚、図3に示すように、互いに隣接する支柱7間にチェーン8を掛け渡して駐車スペース入口空間を塞ぐようにするとよい。図中、9は、空車時にチェーン8を掛けるチェーンフックである。また、図中の支柱7、梁25及び装置本体21に書かれた数字が各駐車スペースの識別番号である。
【0037】
警報装置5は、例えば管理所等に設備されて悪戯や不正駐車があったときに料金精算機1からの警報信号により係員に悪戯や不正駐車のあった駐車スペースを通報するためのものであり、例えば警報音を発生するスピーカ、ブザー、悪戯や不正駐車を表示する表示装置、或いは、音声で通報する音声発生装置等が考えられ、係員に悪戯や不正駐車のあった駐車スペースを通報できるものであればどのようなものでもよい。
【0038】
次に、在車検出装置3の動作と第1実施形態の二輪車駐車システムの駐車管理動作について説明する。
まず、在車検出装置3の動作について説明する。
【0039】
二輪車6が存在しないときは、コイルバネ33の弾性付勢力により図5の実線で示す初期位置に車輪受け32が保持されている。この状態では、センサ部36は車輪受け32を検出せず在車検出信号は発生しない。利用者が駐車スペースの入口側から二輪車6を進入させ図5中の矢印Xの方向に移動させて車輪受け32の上部部材32A上に前輪を乗り上げ、更に、前面壁32aに前輪を押し当てて車輪受け32を押す。これにより、車輪受け32がベース部材31に沿ってコイルバネ33の弾性力に抗してスライドし、センサ部36の位置に車輪受け32の先端部が到達するとセンサ部36から在車検出信号が発生する。利用者は図5の鎖線で示すように車輪受け32の前面壁32aが第1ストッパ34に当接するまで車輪受け32を押す。その後、二輪車6をスタンドで駐車状態にする際に二輪車6は後ろに移動(図5中右方向)し、コイルバネ33の弾性力で車輪受け32も追従して図2に示すように第1ストッパ34から離れた位置まで後退するが、図5に示すように、車輪受け32が初期位置から移動すると直ちに車輪受け32を検出できる位置にセンサ部36を配置しているので、センサ部36の車輪受け検出範囲が図5に示すように広く、車輪受け32が後退してもそのまま在車検出信号が継続して出力されるので、図2の駐車状態において在車検出信号が継続して在車を示す。
【0040】
二輪車6を後退させて車輪受け32の上部部材32Aから降ろし、二輪車6を駐車スペースから退出させると、上部部材32Aはコイルバネ33の弾性力により図5中右方向にスライドし、車輪32dが第2ストッパ35に当接して車輪受け32の移動が規制され、車輪受け32は初期位置に戻り待機状態となり次の駐車時の在車検出動作に備える。
【0041】
次に、図6のフローチャートを参照して本実施形態の二輪車駐車システムにおける料金精算機1の制御部11による駐車管理制御について説明する。
ステップ1(図中S1で示し、以下同様とする)では、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が入力したか否かを判定する。YESの場合はステップ2に進み、NOの場合は後述するステップ11に進む。この際、表示灯4は、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号がなく空車状態の時は点灯して空車を示している。在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が発生すると点滅して利用者に対して二輪車6のロック動作を促す。尚、ロック装置2等に表示部を設け、在車検出装置3の在車検出信号を受けてロック装置2の表示部にロックを促す表示をさせるよう構成してもよい。
【0042】
ステップ2では、計時ユニット12の現在時刻データに基づいて予め設定した所定時間としての退車猶予時間(例えば1分から2分)の計時を開始する。ここで、退車猶予時間とは、二輪車を駐車スペースに駐車した後、駐車を取りやめるような場合に課金しないようにするための時間である。
【0043】
ステップ3では、ロック装置2から施錠検出信号が入力したか否かを判定する。YESの場合は正常駐車と判断してステップ4、5を飛び越してステップ6に進む。NOの場合はステップ4に進み、退車猶予時間が経過したか否かを判定し、経過するまでステップ3の判定動作を行う。退車猶予時間が経過するまでロック装置2から施錠検出信号が入力せず、ステップ4の判定がYESとなった場合はステップ5に進み、不正駐車の警報出力を警報装置5に出力する。即ち、利用者が二輪車6をロックせずに駐車したことを警報装置5で係員に通報する。尚、この際に不正駐車の通報と共にその駐車スペースの識別番号も通報する構成であることは言うまでもない。これにより、係員は直ちに不正駐車のあった駐車スペースに出向き、ロック装置2で二輪車6をロックする。
【0044】
ステップ3の判定がYESとなりロック装置2から施錠検出信号が入力するか或いはステップ5で不正駐車の警報出力を発生した場合は、ステップ6に進み、駐車時間の計測を開始する。
【0045】
ステップ7では、入力操作部16から図3に示す例えば「333」等の識別番号が入力され、金銭処理ユニット15金銭が投入されたか否かを判定する。判定がYESのときはステップ8に進み、精算処理を実行する。
【0046】
ステップ8では、精算が完了したか否かが判定され、完了すればステップ10でロック解錠信号をロック装置2に送信する。これにより、ロック装置2のロックが解錠され、利用者は駐車中の二輪車を駐車スペースから取り出すことができる。
【0047】
一方、ステップ1でNOと判定された場合は、ステップ11で施錠検出信号が入力したか否かが判定され、判定がYESとなった場合、即ち、駐車スペースが空車状態でロック装置2がロック状態となった場合は、ロック装置2の悪戯と判断してステップ12で悪戯警報出力を警報装置5に送信して係員にロック装置2の悪戯があった駐車スペースを通報する。これにより、係員は直ちに悪戯のあった駐車スペースに出向き、非常解錠用鍵でロック装置2のロックを解錠し、その駐車スペースを利用可能な状態とする。尚、料金精算機1からロック解錠信号をロック装置2に送信して悪戯のあった駐車スペースに出向いた係員がロック部材23を外せるようにしてもよい。
【0048】
以上のように本実施形態によれば、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が発生していない状態でロック装置2から施錠検出信号が発生した場合や、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が発生した後、退車猶予時間内にロック装置2から施錠検出信号が発生しない場合には、悪戯や不正駐車を係員に直ちに通報するので、ロック装置2の悪戯や不正駐車のあった駐車スペースに係員が直ちに出向くことができ、悪戯や不正駐車の抑制効果が高く、これら悪戯や不正駐車を低減できる。
【0049】
尚、上記実施形態では、ロック装置2として、駐車する二輪車6自体を拘束してロックする構成のものを示したが、図3に示すように、チェーン8で駐車スペースの入口を塞いで駐車する二輪車6をロックする構成の第2ロック装置に相当するロック装置としてもよい。この場合、図3に示す支柱7上端部にロック装置2の装置本体21と同様の構成の装置本体を内蔵するか、或いは、図7に示すように、支柱7の上端部に支柱7と別体で表示灯4を組込んだロックユニット21′を組付けるかすると共に、チェーン8の一端側にロック部材23を設け、ロック部材23を支柱7上端部の装置本体やロックユニット21′に挿入してロックすることで、駐車する二輪車6の退室を阻止するようになる。
【0050】
また、駐車する二輪車自体を拘束してロックするロック装置2と駐車スペースの入口を塞いで駐車する二輪車をロックする第2ロック装置の両方を設備するようにしてもよい。この場合は、在車検出装置3が在車を検出している状態で、少なくとも一方のロック装置から料金精算機1側に施錠検出信号が入力すれば、正常駐車と判断すればよい。
【0051】
更に、ロック部材挿入孔部分にシャッタを設け、在車検出装置3から在車検出信号が入力したときにシャッタを開駆動してロック部材23の挿入を可能とする構成のロック装置とすれば、ロック装置の悪戯防止効果を高められる。
【0052】
次に、在車検出装置の別の構成例について説明する。
図8及び図9に示す在車検出装置40は、レバー部材41と、弾性部材としてのコイルバネ42と、車輪受け43と、ストッパ44と、センサ部45とを備えて構成される。
【0053】
前記レバー部材41は、図9に示すように支柱24で支持したロック装置固定用の梁25下部に固定したコの字状のブラケット46に軸受47を介して回転自在に軸支された回転軸48の各端部に固定された一対の板状部材41A,41Bで構成され、図8の矢印方向に回動可能な構成である。また、一方の板状部材41Aの上端部は、梁25の内部まで延設され、センサ部45がこの延設部を検出することで在車検出信号が発生する。
【0054】
コイルバネ42は、図8の実線で示すように地面に対して斜めとなる初期位置にレバー部材41を弾性支持するもので、前記回転軸48の各端部周囲に装着された一対のコイルバネ42A,42Bからなり、各コイルバネ42A,42Bの一端はブラケット46側に係止され、他端が各板状部材41A,41Bにそれぞれ係止されている。
【0055】
車輪受け43は、駐車する二輪車6の前輪から押圧力を受けてレバー部材41を回動させるもので、図8に示すように板状部材の両端をレバー部材41の下端部に固定した軸部49に回動可能に取付けて構成される。
【0056】
前記ストッパ44は、車輪受け43に作用する押圧力でレバー部材41がコイルバネ42A,42Bの弾性力に抗して回動したときにレバー部材41の最大回動位置(図8に鎖線で示すようにレバー部材41が略垂直となる位置)を規制するもので、図8に示すように梁25の略下方の地上のアンカーボルト等で固定される。尚、ストッパ44の幅は板状部材41A,41B間の幅より狭く、レバー部材41が図8の鎖線で示す垂直状態にあるときは板状部材41A,41Bの間にストッパ44が位置するようになっている。
【0057】
センサ部45は、レバー部材41が回動し前述のように一方の板状部材41Aの延設部が図8に示した検出範囲に位置するとき、在車検出信号が発生するもので、例えば近接スイッチ、マイクロスイッチ或いは光センサを用いることができる。
【0058】
尚、図8中、26は、隣接する駐車スペースを仕切る梁である。
次に、図8及び図9に示す在車検出装置40の動作について説明する。
二輪車6が存在しないときは、コイルバネ42A,42Bの弾性付勢力により図8の実線で示す斜め状態の初期位置にレバー部材41が位置している。この状態では、一方の板状部材41Aの延設部は図8の検出範囲外に存在しセンサ部45は在車検出信号を発生しない。利用者が駐車スペースの入口側から二輪車6を進入させて車輪受け43に前輪を押し当てて車輪受け43を押すと、レバー部材41がコイルバネ42A,42Bの弾性力に抗して回転軸48を中心に図8中時計方向に回動し、板状部材41Aの延設部が図8の検出範囲内に達すると、センサ部45から在車検出信号が発生する。利用者はレバー部材41が図8の鎖線で示す垂直状態となるまで車輪受け43を押す。その後、二輪車6をスタンドで駐車状態にする際に二輪車6は後ろに移動(図8中右方向)し、コイルバネ42A,42Bの弾性力でレバー部材41も追従して図8中半時計方向に回動するが、延設部が検出範囲内に存在する限り、センサ部45はそのまま在車検出信号を継続して出力するので、二輪車6が駐車スペースに存在することを検出できる。
【0059】
二輪車6を退室させるため後退させ車輪受け43に対する押圧力がなくなると、レバー部材41はコイルバネ42の弾性力により図8中回転軸48を中心に半時計方向に回動し、斜めの初期位置に戻り待機状態となり、次の駐車時の在車検出動作に備える。
【0060】
次に、図10及び図11に別の在車検出装置の構成例を示す。
図10及び図11に示す在車検出装置50は、ストッパを兼ねるベース部材51と、車輪受け52と、弾性部材としてのコイルバネ53と、センサ部54とを備えて構成される。
【0061】
前記ベース部材51は、図11に示すように梁25の下方の地面にアンカーボルト等により固定され、図10に示すように凹部51Aを有すると共に、車輪受け52を軸支する回転軸55が地面に対して垂直方向に取付けられている。このベース部材51は、車輪受け52がコイルバネ53の弾性力に抗して回動し凹部51Aの壁面に当接することで車輪受け52の最大回動位置(図中実線で示す)を規制する構成であり、ストッパを兼ねる。
【0062】
車輪受け52は、駐車する二輪車6の前輪から押圧力を受けて回動するもので、四角い板材の3つの端縁を同一方向に折り曲げた形状をなし、折り曲げない端縁をベース部材51の回転軸55に回動可能に取付けることにより、地面と平行方向に回動可能なようにベース部材51に取付けられている。
【0063】
コイルバネ53は、図中鎖線で示す二輪車6の駐車方向に対して斜めとなる初期位置に車輪受け52を弾性支持するもので、図10に示すようにベース部材51の回転軸55周囲に取付けられて一端がベース部材51に係止され、他端が車輪受け52側に係止されている。
【0064】
センサ部54は、車輪受け52が初期位置から回動し図10に示す検出範囲内に位置するときに在車検出信号を発生するもので、車輪受け52の裏側に取付けられる。尚、センサ部54としては、例えば近接スイッチ、マイクロスイッチ或いは光センサを用いることができる。
【0065】
次に、図10及び図11に示す在車検出装置50の動作について説明する。
二輪車6が存在しないときは、コイルバネ53の弾性付勢力により図中の鎖線で示す初期位置に車輪受け52が位置している。この状態では、車輪受け52に設けたセンサ部54がベース部材51から離れており図10の検出範囲外に存在するので、センサ部45は在車検出信号を発生しない。利用者が駐車スペースの入口側から二輪車6を進入させて車輪受け52に前輪を押し当て車輪受け52を押すと、車輪受け52がコイルバネ53の弾性力に抗して回転軸55回りに図10中時計方向に回動する。車輪受け52が図10の検出範囲内に達すると、センサ部54から在車検出信号が発生する。利用者は車輪受け52が図中の実線で示すようにベース部材51の凹部51Aの壁面に当接する位置まで車輪受け52を押す。その後、二輪車6をスタンドで駐車状態にする際に二輪車6は後ろに移動し、コイルバネ53の弾性力で車輪受け52も追従して図10中半時計方向に回動するが、図10の検出範囲内にセンサ部54が存在する限り、センサ部54はそのまま在車検出信号を継続して出力するので、二輪車6が駐車スペースに存在することを検出できる。
【0066】
二輪車6を退室させるため後退させ車輪受け52に対する押圧力がなくなると、車輪受け52はコイルバネ53の弾性力により図10中回転軸55を中心に半時計方向に回動し、鎖線で示す斜め状態の初期位置に戻り待機状態となり、次の駐車時の在車検出動作に備える。
【0067】
次に、図12及び図13に別の在車検出装置の構成例を示す。
図12及び図13に示す在車検出装置60は、ベース部材61と、車輪受け62と、弾性部材としてのコイルバネ63と、ストッパ64と、センサ部65とを備えて構成される。
【0068】
前記ベース部材61は、両側部に上側に突出した互いに平行な突設部61A,61Bを有する形状をなし、地面に固定されている。
車輪受け62は、四角い板状部材の両側部を地面側に折り曲げた形状をなし、二輪車6の駐車方向に対して手前側の両側基端部をベース部材61の突設部61A,61B間にピン66を介して回動可能に取付け、二輪車6の前輪からの踏圧力を受けて先端部が下降する構成である。
【0069】
コイルバネ63は、一端がベース部材61に固定され他端が車輪受け62の先端部裏側に固定され、車輪受け62が地面に対してと斜めとなる図13の実線で示す初期位置に車輪受け62を弾性支持するものである。
【0070】
ストッパ64は、二輪車6の前輪からの踏圧力により車輪受け62が下降したとき二輪車6の前輪が車輪受け62を通り過ぎないよう前輪先端位置を規制するもので、ベース部材61の前方所定位置において地面にアンカーボルト等で固定される。
【0071】
センサ部65は、車輪受け62が初期位置から回動し図13の実線で示すように地面と略平行となる位置に達したときに在車検出信号を発生するもので、ベース部材61の例えば突設部61A側に取付けられる。尚、センサ部65としては、例えば近接スイッチ、マイクロスイッチ或いは光センサを用いることができる。
【0072】
次に、図12及び図13に示す在車検出装置60の動作について説明する。
二輪車6が存在しないときは、コイルバネ63の弾性付勢力により図13の実線で示すように斜め状態の初期位置に車輪受け62が保持されている。この状態では、車輪受け62はセンサ部65から離れた位置にあり、センサ部65から在車検出信号が発生しない。利用者が駐車スペースの入口側から二輪車6を進入させて車輪受け62に前輪を乗り上げ、更に前輪がストッパ64に当接する位置まで二輪車を移動させる。車輪受け62は、二輪車6の重みによりコイルバネ63の弾性力に抗してピン66を中心に図13中下方向に回動し、図13の鎖線で示す位置まで降下する。これにより、センサ部65が車輪受け62を検出し、センサ部65から在車検出信号が発生する。その後、二輪車6をスタンドで駐車状態にする際に二輪車6は後ろに移動(図12中右方向)するが、前輪が車輪受け62上にある限り、車輪受け62は二輪車6の重量でそのままの位置(図13の鎖線で示す位置)に留まるので、在車検出信号が継続して出力される。
【0073】
二輪車6を後退させて車輪受け62から降ろして二輪車6を駐車スペースから退出させると、車輪受け62はコイルバネ63の弾性力により図13の実線で示す斜めの状態の初期位置に戻り、待機状態となって次の駐車時の在車検出動作に備える。
【0074】
次に、図14及び図15に別の在車検出装置の構成例を示す。
図14及び図15に示す在車検出装置は、二輪車の金属部分を感知する金属センサ70を用いたもので、互いに隣接する駐車スペースを仕切るよう地上から所定の高さに設けた梁26に設備する。
【0075】
金属センサ70は、実開昭63−107082号公報等で公知のもので、送信コイル70Aと受信コイル70Bを備え、送信コイル70Aと受信コイル70Bの結合度の変化から駐車二輪車6の有無を検出するものである。尚、図では各梁26について1つだけ金属センサ70を示したが、各梁26には両側の駐車スペースの二輪車を検出するために2つの金属センサ70を収納する。
【0076】
この金属センサ70による二輪車検出動作は、送信コイル70Aから図14中鎖線で示すように磁界を常時発生させ、受信コイル70Bで受信する。この状態で、二輪車6が駐車スペースに進入すると、二輪車6の金属部分により磁界が変化して受信コイル70Bの受信レベルが変化して送信コイル70Aと受信コイル70Bの結合度が変化する。この変化を検出して二輪車6の在車を検出する。
【0077】
二輪車6が駐車スペースから退出すると、送信コイル70Aと受信コイル70Bの結合度が通常の初期レベルになり、待機状態となる。
二輪車6の場合、自動車に比較して金属部分が車体の上部部分に多いため、この種の金属センサ70により二輪車6を安定に検出するためには、地上からある程度の高さ位置に金属センサ70を取付ける必要がある。このため、本実施形態では、隣接する駐車スペースを仕切るための梁26に設備してある。
【0078】
本実施形態では、1つの駐車スペースに対して両側の梁に金属センサ70を設備する構成としたが、駐車スペースの幅が狭ければ、1つの駐車スペースに対していずれか一方の梁26に金属センサ70を設けても十分安定して二輪車6の存在を検出できる。
【0079】
尚、本発明の二輪車駐車システムは、有料の二輪車駐車場に限らず、登録等により無料で駐車可能な二輪車駐車場にも適用できることは言うまでもない。例えば登録者に固有のIDを発行し、IDの入力によりロックを解錠できるようにする等の方法を採用すればよい。
【0080】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、在車検出信号と施錠検出信号が共に入力状態にあるときのみ正常な駐車と判断し、その他の場合にはロックせずに駐車する不正駐車やロック装置の悪戯と判断して通報するよう構成したので、不正駐車や悪戯を早期に発見でき、ロック装置の悪戯や不正駐車を抑制できる。また、無断で駐車スペースを利用する行為を抑制できるので、有料の二輪車駐車場に適用することで、無断駐車を抑制して採算性を向上できる。

[0038]
Next, the operation of the vehicle presence detection device 3 and the parking management operation of the motorcycle parking system of the first embodiment will be described.
First, the operation of the vehicle presence detection device 3 will be described.
[0039]
When the motorcycle 6 does not exist, the wheel receiver 32 is held at the initial position shown by the solid line in FIG. In this state, the sensor unit 36 does not detect the wheel receiver 32 and does not generate a vehicle presence detection signal. The user enters the motorcycle 6 from the entrance side of the parking space, moves the motorcycle in the direction of arrow X in FIG. 5, rides the front wheel on the upper member 32A of the wheel receiver 32, and further presses the front wheel against the front wall 32a. Push the wheel receiver 32. As a result, the wheel receiver 32 slides along the base member 31 against the elastic force of the coil spring 33, and when the tip of the wheel receiver 32 reaches the position of the sensor unit 36, a vehicle presence detection signal is generated from the sensor unit 36. I do. The user pushes the wheel receiver 32 until the front wall 32a of the wheel receiver 32 comes into contact with the first stopper 34 as shown by a chain line in FIG. After that, when the motorcycle 6 is parked at the stand, the motorcycle 6 moves backward (to the right in FIG. 5), and the elastic force of the coil spring 33 also causes the wheel receiver 32 to follow the first stopper as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the sensor unit 36 is disposed at a position where the wheel receiver 32 can be detected immediately after the wheel receiver 32 moves from the initial position. The reception detection range is wide as shown in FIG. 5, and the vehicle detection signal is continuously output even if the wheel receiver 32 moves backward, so that the vehicle detection signal continues to be output in the parking state of FIG. Is shown.
[0040]
When the motorcycle 6 is retracted and lowered from the upper member 32A of the wheel receiver 32 and the motorcycle 6 is retracted from the parking space, the upper member 32A slides rightward in FIG. The movement of the wheel receiver 32 is restricted by contacting the stopper 35, and the wheel receiver 32 returns to the initial position to be in a standby state, and prepares for the next vehicle parking detecting operation.
[0041]
Next, parking management control by the control unit 11 of the fare adjustment machine 1 in the motorcycle parking system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step 1 (indicated by S1 in the figure, the same applies hereinafter), it is determined whether or not a vehicle presence detection signal has been input from the vehicle presence detection device 3. In the case of YES, the process proceeds to step 2, and in the case of NO, the process proceeds to step 11 described later. At this time, the indicator lamp 4 lights up when there is no vehicle detection signal from the vehicle detection device 3 and the vehicle is in an empty state, indicating that the vehicle is empty. When a vehicle detection signal is generated from the vehicle detection device 3, the signal blinks to prompt the user to lock the motorcycle 6. Note that a display unit may be provided in the lock device 2 or the like, and a display urging locking may be displayed on the display unit of the lock device 2 in response to the presence detection signal of the presence detection device 3.
[0042]
In step 2, the counting of the leaving grace time (for example, one to two minutes) as a predetermined time set in advance based on the current time data of the timing unit 12 is started. Here, the departure grace time is a time for not charging when the motorcycle is parked in the parking space and then stopped.
[0043]
In step 3, it is determined whether or not a lock detection signal has been input from the lock device 2. In the case of YES, it is determined that the vehicle is normally parked, and the process skips steps 4 and 5 and proceeds to step 6. In the case of NO, the process proceeds to step 4, where it is determined whether or not the leaving time has elapsed, and the determination operation of step 3 is performed until the time has elapsed. If the lock detection signal is not input from the lock device 2 until the departure grace time elapses, and the determination in step 4 is YES, the process proceeds to step 5 and an alarm output for illegal parking is output to the alarm device 5. That is, the alarm device 5 notifies the attendant that the user has parked without locking the motorcycle 6. In this case, it goes without saying that the identification number of the parking space is also reported together with the report of the illegal parking. As a result, the attendant immediately goes to the parking space where the illegal parking has been performed, and locks the motorcycle 6 with the lock device 2.
[0044]
If the determination in step 3 is YES and the lock detection signal is input from the lock device 2 or if an alarm output of illegal parking is generated in step 5, the process proceeds to step 6 and the measurement of the parking time is started.
[0045]
In step 7, an identification number such as "333" shown in FIG. 3 is input from the input operation unit 16, and it is determined whether or not money has been inserted into the money processing unit 15. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step 8 and executes a settlement process.
[0046]
In Step 8, it is determined whether or not the settlement is completed. If completed, a lock unlocking signal is transmitted to the lock device 2 in Step 10. Thereby, the lock of the lock device 2 is unlocked, and the user can take out the parked motorcycle from the parking space.
[0047]
On the other hand, if NO is determined in step 1, it is determined whether or not a lock detection signal is input in step 11. If the determination is YES, that is, if the parking space is empty and the lock device 2 is locked. If so, the lock device 2 is judged to be a mischief, and in step 12, a mischief alarm output is transmitted to the alarm device 5 to notify the attendant of the parking space where the lock device 2 has mischief. As a result, the attendant immediately goes to the parking space where the mischief has occurred, unlocks the lock of the lock device 2 with the emergency unlocking key, and makes the parking space usable. It should be noted that a lock unlocking signal may be transmitted from the fee settlement machine 1 to the lock device 2 so that a staff member who has gone to a parking space where mischief has occurred can remove the lock member 23.
[0048]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the lock detection signal is generated from the lock device 2 in a state where the vehicle detection signal is not generated from the vehicle detection device 3, the vehicle detection If a lock detection signal is not generated from the lock device 2 within the departure time after the signal is generated, a mischief or illegal parking is immediately notified to a staff member. The clerk can immediately go to the space, the effect of suppressing mischief and illegal parking is high, and these mischief and illegal parking can be reduced.
[0049]
In the above-described embodiment, the lock device 2 has a configuration in which the motorcycle 6 to be parked is restrained and locked, but as shown in FIG. 3, the parking is closed by closing the entrance of the parking space with the chain 8. A lock device corresponding to a second lock device configured to lock the motorcycle 6 may be used. In this case, a device main body having the same configuration as the device main body 21 of the lock device 2 is built in the upper end portion of the support column 7 shown in FIG. 3, or as shown in FIG. A lock unit 21 'incorporating the indicator light 4 is assembled with the body, and a lock member 23 is provided at one end of the chain 8, and the lock member 23 is inserted into the device body or the lock unit 21' at the upper end of the column 7. By locking the motorcycle 6, the exit of the parked motorcycle 6 is prevented.
[0050]
In addition, both a lock device 2 that restrains and locks the parked motorcycle itself and a second lock device that locks the motorcycle parked by blocking the entrance of the parking space may be provided. In this case, if the lock detection signal is input from at least one of the lock devices to the fare adjustment machine 1 while the occupancy detection device 3 is detecting occupancy, it can be determined that the parking is normal.
[0051]
Further, if the lock device is provided with a shutter at the lock member insertion hole portion, and the lock device 23 can be inserted by driving the shutter to open when the vehicle presence detection signal is input from the vehicle presence detection device 3, The effect of preventing the mischief of the lock device can be enhanced.
[0052]
Next, another configuration example of the vehicle presence detection device will be described.
The in-vehicle detection device 40 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 includes a lever member 41, a coil spring 42 as an elastic member, a wheel receiver 43, a stopper 44, and a sensor unit 45.
[0053]
As shown in FIG. 9, the lever member 41 is rotatably supported via a bearing 47 on a U-shaped bracket 46 fixed to a lower portion of a locking device fixing beam 25 supported by a column 24 via a bearing 47. 48, a pair of plate-like members 41A and 41B fixed to each end, and is rotatable in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The upper end of the one plate-like member 41A is extended to the inside of the beam 25, and the vehicle detection signal is generated when the sensor 45 detects the extended portion.
[0054]
The coil spring 42 elastically supports the lever member 41 at an initial position that is inclined with respect to the ground as shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, and includes a pair of coil springs 42A mounted around each end of the rotating shaft 48. One end of each of the coil springs 42A and 42B is locked to the bracket 46 side, and the other end is locked to each of the plate members 41A and 41B.
[0055]
The wheel receiver 43 rotates the lever member 41 by receiving a pressing force from the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle 6 to be parked, and a shaft portion in which both ends of the plate member are fixed to the lower end of the lever member 41 as shown in FIG. 49 so as to be rotatable.
[0056]
When the lever member 41 is rotated against the elastic force of the coil springs 42A and 42B by the pressing force acting on the wheel receiver 43, the stopper 44 is moved to the maximum rotation position of the lever member 41 (as indicated by a chain line in FIG. 8). The position where the lever member 41 becomes substantially vertical is fixed by an anchor bolt or the like on the ground substantially below the beam 25 as shown in FIG. The width of the stopper 44 is smaller than the width between the plate members 41A and 41B, and the stopper 44 is located between the plate members 41A and 41B when the lever member 41 is in the vertical state indicated by the chain line in FIG. It has become.
[0057]
The sensor unit 45 generates an in-vehicle detection signal when the lever member 41 rotates and the extended portion of the one plate-shaped member 41A is positioned in the detection range shown in FIG. 8 as described above. Proximity switches, microswitches or optical sensors can be used.
[0058]
In addition, in FIG. 8, 26 is a beam which partitions the adjacent parking space.
Next, the operation of the in-vehicle detection device 40 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 will be described.
When the two-wheeled vehicle 6 does not exist, the lever member 41 is located at an initial position in an oblique state shown by a solid line in FIG. 8 due to the elastic biasing force of the coil springs 42A and 42B. In this state, the extended portion of one plate-like member 41A exists outside the detection range of FIG. 8, and the sensor unit 45 does not generate a vehicle detection signal. When the user enters the motorcycle 6 from the entrance side of the parking space and presses the front wheel against the wheel receiver 43 and presses the wheel receiver 43, the lever member 41 moves the rotary shaft 48 against the elastic force of the coil springs 42A and 42B. When the extended portion of the plate-like member 41A reaches the center of the detection range shown in FIG. 8, the sensor portion 45 generates a vehicle presence detection signal. The user pushes the wheel receiver 43 until the lever member 41 is in the vertical state shown by the chain line in FIG. Thereafter, when the motorcycle 6 is parked at the stand, the motorcycle 6 moves rearward (rightward in FIG. 8), and the lever member 41 also follows the elastic force of the coil springs 42A and 42B, and moves counterclockwise in FIG. Although it turns, the sensor unit 45 continuously outputs the in-vehicle detection signal as long as the extension portion is within the detection range, so that it is possible to detect that the motorcycle 6 is present in the parking space.
[0059]
When the motorcycle 6 is moved backward to retreat and the pressing force against the wheel receiver 43 disappears, the lever member 41 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 48 in FIG. It returns to the standby state, and prepares for the vehicle presence detection operation at the time of the next parking.
[0060]
Next, FIGS. 10 and 11 show an example of the configuration of another vehicle presence detection device.
10 and 11 includes a base member 51 also serving as a stopper, a wheel receiver 52, a coil spring 53 as an elastic member, and a sensor unit.
[0061]
The base member 51 is fixed to the ground below the beam 25 by an anchor bolt or the like as shown in FIG. 11, has a concave portion 51A as shown in FIG. It is mounted vertically to. The base member 51 is configured such that the wheel receiver 52 rotates against the elastic force of the coil spring 53 and abuts against the wall surface of the recess 51A to regulate the maximum rotation position (shown by a solid line in the drawing) of the wheel receiver 52. And also serves as a stopper.
[0062]
The wheel receiver 52 rotates by receiving a pressing force from the front wheel of the motorcycle 6 to be parked. The wheel receiver 52 has a shape obtained by bending three edges of a square plate material in the same direction. By being rotatably mounted on the shaft 55, it is mounted on the base member 51 so as to be rotatable in a direction parallel to the ground.
[0063]
The coil spring 53 elastically supports the wheel receiver 52 at an initial position that is oblique to the parking direction of the motorcycle 6 indicated by a chain line in the figure, and is attached around the rotation shaft 55 of the base member 51 as shown in FIG. One end is locked to the base member 51 and the other end is locked to the wheel receiver 52 side.
[0064]
The sensor unit 54 generates an in-vehicle detection signal when the wheel receiver 52 rotates from the initial position and is located within the detection range shown in FIG. 10, and is attached to the back side of the wheel receiver 52. As the sensor unit 54, for example, a proximity switch, a micro switch, or an optical sensor can be used.
[0065]
Next, the operation of the vehicle presence detection device 50 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described.
When the two-wheeled vehicle 6 does not exist, the wheel receiver 52 is located at an initial position indicated by a chain line in the drawing due to the elastic biasing force of the coil spring 53. In this state, since the sensor unit 54 provided on the wheel receiver 52 is separated from the base member 51 and is outside the detection range of FIG. 10, the sensor unit 45 does not generate a vehicle presence detection signal. When the user enters the motorcycle 6 from the entrance side of the parking space and presses the front wheel against the wheel receiver 52 and presses the wheel receiver 52, the wheel receiver 52 rotates around the rotating shaft 55 against the elastic force of the coil spring 53 as shown in FIG. Rotate clockwise. When the wheel receiver 52 reaches the detection range of FIG. 10, a vehicle presence detection signal is generated from the sensor unit 54. The user pushes the wheel receiver 52 to a position where the wheel receiver 52 comes into contact with the wall surface of the concave portion 51A of the base member 51 as shown by a solid line in the drawing. Thereafter, when the motorcycle 6 is parked at the stand, the motorcycle 6 moves backward, and the elastic force of the coil spring 53 causes the wheel receiver 52 to follow and rotate in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. As long as the sensor unit 54 is within the range, the sensor unit 54 continuously outputs the vehicle presence detection signal as it is, so that it is possible to detect that the motorcycle 6 is present in the parking space.
[0066]
When the motorcycle 6 is retreated to exit the room and the pressing force against the wheel receiver 52 is eliminated, the wheel receiver 52 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft 55 in FIG. Returns to the initial position and enters a standby state, and prepares for the vehicle presence detection operation at the time of the next parking.
[0067]
Next, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show configuration examples of another vehicle presence detection device.
12 and 13 is provided with a base member 61, a wheel receiver 62, a coil spring 63 as an elastic member, a stopper 64, and a sensor unit 65.
[0068]
The base member 61 has a shape having projecting portions 61A and 61B that are parallel to each other and protrude upward on both side portions, and is fixed to the ground.
The wheel receiver 62 has a shape in which both sides of a square plate-like member are bent toward the ground, and the base ends on both sides on the front side with respect to the parking direction of the motorcycle 6 are between the projecting portions 61A and 61B of the base member 61. It is configured to be rotatably mounted via a pin 66, and to receive a tread pressure from a front wheel of the motorcycle 6, and a tip portion thereof is lowered.
[0069]
The coil spring 63 has one end fixed to the base member 61 and the other end fixed to the back side of the front end portion of the wheel receiver 62, and the wheel receiver 62 is at an initial position shown by a solid line in FIG. Is elastically supported.
[0070]
The stopper 64 regulates the front wheel tip position so that the front wheel of the motorcycle 6 does not pass through the wheel receiver 62 when the wheel receiver 62 descends due to the treading pressure from the front wheel of the motorcycle 6. Is fixed with an anchor bolt or the like.
[0071]
The sensor unit 65 generates an in-vehicle detection signal when the wheel receiver 62 rotates from the initial position and reaches a position substantially parallel to the ground as shown by a solid line in FIG. It is attached to the projecting portion 61A side. In addition, as the sensor unit 65, for example, a proximity switch, a micro switch, or an optical sensor can be used.
[0072]
Next, the operation of the vehicle presence detection device 60 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 will be described.
When the two-wheeled vehicle 6 does not exist, the wheel receiver 62 is held at an initial position in an oblique state by the elastic biasing force of the coil spring 63 as shown by the solid line in FIG. In this state, the wheel receiver 62 is located at a position distant from the sensor unit 65, and the vehicle detection signal is not generated from the sensor unit 65. The user enters the motorcycle 6 from the entrance side of the parking space, rides the front wheel on the wheel receiver 62, and moves the motorcycle to a position where the front wheel contacts the stopper 64. The wheel receiver 62 rotates downward in FIG. 13 around the pin 66 against the elastic force of the coil spring 63 due to the weight of the motorcycle 6, and descends to the position shown by the chain line in FIG. Accordingly, the sensor unit 65 detects the wheel receiver 62, and the sensor unit 65 generates a vehicle presence detection signal. Thereafter, when the motorcycle 6 is parked at the stand, the motorcycle 6 moves backward (to the right in FIG. 12). However, as long as the front wheel is on the wheel receiver 62, the wheel receiver 62 is kept as it is by the weight of the motorcycle 6. Since the vehicle stays at the position (the position indicated by the chain line in FIG. 13), the in-vehicle detection signal is continuously output.
[0073]
When the two-wheeled vehicle 6 is retracted and lowered from the wheel receiver 62 and the two-wheeled vehicle 6 is withdrawn from the parking space, the wheel receiver 62 returns to the initial position in the oblique state shown by the solid line in FIG. In preparation for the next parking detection operation at the time of parking.
[0074]
Next, FIGS. 14 and 15 show configuration examples of another vehicle presence detection device.
The in-vehicle detection device shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 uses a metal sensor 70 that detects a metal portion of a motorcycle, and is installed on a beam 26 provided at a predetermined height from the ground so as to separate adjacent parking spaces. I do.
[0075]
The metal sensor 70 is publicly known, for example, from Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-107082, and includes a transmission coil 70A and a reception coil 70B, and detects the presence or absence of the parking motorcycle 6 from a change in the degree of coupling between the transmission coil 70A and the reception coil 70B. Is what you do. Although only one metal sensor 70 is shown for each beam 26 in the figure, two metal sensors 70 are housed in each beam 26 in order to detect a motorcycle in a parking space on both sides.
[0076]
In the motorcycle detecting operation by the metal sensor 70, a magnetic field is always generated from the transmission coil 70A as shown by a chain line in FIG. 14 and received by the reception coil 70B. In this state, when the motorcycle 6 enters the parking space, the magnetic field changes due to the metal part of the motorcycle 6, the reception level of the reception coil 70B changes, and the coupling between the transmission coil 70A and the reception coil 70B changes. By detecting this change, the presence of the motorcycle 6 is detected.
[0077]
When the two-wheeled vehicle 6 leaves the parking space, the degree of coupling between the transmission coil 70A and the reception coil 70B becomes a normal initial level and enters a standby state.
In the case of the two-wheeled vehicle 6, the metal part is more in the upper part of the vehicle body than in the automobile. Need to be installed. For this reason, in this embodiment, the beam 26 for partitioning the adjacent parking space is provided.
[0078]
In the present embodiment, the metal sensors 70 are provided on the beams on both sides of one parking space. However, if the width of the parking space is narrow, one of the beams 26 is provided for one parking space. Even if the metal sensor 70 is provided, the presence of the motorcycle 6 can be detected sufficiently stably.
[0079]
It is needless to say that the motorcycle parking system of the present invention can be applied not only to a paid motorcycle parking lot but also to a motorcycle parking lot that can be parked for free by registration or the like. For example, a method may be adopted in which a unique ID is issued to the registrant, and the lock can be unlocked by inputting the ID.
[0080]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, an illegal parking or locking device that determines normal parking only when both the in-vehicle detection signal and the lock detection signal are in an input state, and otherwise parks without locking. Since it is configured to judge and report the mischief, illegal parking and mischief can be detected early, and mischief and illegal parking of the lock device can be suppressed. In addition, since the act of using the parking space without permission can be suppressed, it is possible to suppress unauthorized parking and improve profitability by applying to a toll motorcycle parking lot.
