Description

Field of invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking system for parking two-wheeled vehicles, and to a method for parking two-wheeled vehicles in such a parking system. Background of the invention

[0002] Two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles and motorcycles, are usually parked in public spaces. With technological advancements, the number of e-bikes on the roads has increased significantly. Modern bicycles, especially e-bikes, but also non-motorized bicycles, are often characterized by high prices. Additionally, parking spaces for motorcycles are often very limited and cramped. In private settings, two-wheeled vehicles are often stored in garages, which requires a lot of space and is associated with high costs. Apartment buildings sometimes have communal bicycle storage rooms, but these are unsuitable for motorcycles and do not meet security requirements. Bicycle boxes are also available, but these are often difficult to use and, if used by multiple people, do not offer protection against theft or damage. They are also unsuitable for e-bikes and motorcycles.

[0003] Due to the sometimes very high prices of two-wheelers and the often lacking parking facilities, there is therefore a great need for improved parking facilities for two-wheelers, such as bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles and / or scooters.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a compact parking system for parking two-wheelers, whereby two-wheelers can be safely stored in the parking system.

[0005] Furthermore, it is desirable to make the construction and handling of such a parking system simple and to keep the associated costs low. Summary of the invention

[0006] Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to at least partially avoid or reduce the aforementioned disadvantages. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a compact and safe parking system for two-wheeled vehicles.

[0007] This problem is solved using the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the parking system is designed to have at least two levels, with an entry level (e.g., a first level) for entering a two-wheeler and at least one second level below or above it (e.g., a second level), wherein the parking system has several parking units, each with a parking device, in both levels, wherein the parking units are designed to accommodate a two-wheeler and are arranged horizontally next to each other, wherein at least one parking device of the parking units in the entry level is movable in a horizontal direction of movement perpendicular to the insertion direction into an adjacent parking unit, and at least one parking device of the parking units of the second level is movable in a vertical direction of movement into one of the parking units of the entry level.

[0009] The multi-story design and the associated vertical extension of the parking system allow for the space-saving storage of many two-wheeled vehicles on a small footprint. The 'footprint' refers to the area occupied by the parking system on the ground on which it is installed. While the parking system can have more than two stories, a two-story design is preferred.

[0010] The term 'parking device' refers to all mechanical components of a parking unit that serve to move the two-wheeler into and out of the parking system and enable movement between the parking units within the parking system.

[0011] The term 'insertion direction' refers to the direction in which a two-wheeler is driven through the entry opening into the parking system or into the parking unit of the parking system onto the parking device.

[0012] Furthermore, the system is preferably designed as a transportable unit, for example, so that it can be transported on a standard truck. This allows for straightforward transport and easy setup of the parking system. Particularly preferred is the parking system designed as a single unit that requires no connections or only a power connection and is then immediately ready for operation. This enables quick assembly and disassembly of the parking system at any location.

[0013] Preferably, the parking device is arranged on the base of the parking unit. "On the base" in this context means that the parking device can be positioned directly on the base or indirectly, i.e., with additional components arranged between the base and the parking device. For example, transverse rails can be provided on the base to allow movement of the parking device, preferably horizontal movement perpendicular to the insertion direction, between adjacent parking units.

[0014] In one embodiment, the parking system has one or more transverse rails in the entry plane and preferably in each plane between the second plane and the entry plane, which extend horizontally perpendicular to the insertion direction through at least two, preferably all, parking units in the entry plane and preferably in each plane between the second plane and the entry plane, wherein the at least one parking device is arranged to be horizontally displaceable on one or more transverse rails. Preferably, the parking system has two transverse rails in the entry plane and preferably in each plane between the second plane and the entry plane.

[0015] A second level can be arranged either below or above the entry level. Preferably, the second level forms either the uppermost or the lowest level of the parking system.

[0016] A lower level or levels below the entry level can, for example, be at least partially recessed into the ground, thus allowing the entry level to be at ground level. Alternatively, a parking system with an entry level and at least one lower level at ground level can be arranged so that bicycles can be driven into the entry level by means of, for example, an escalator, lift, or similar device.

[0017] Preferably, the entry level forms a first floor and the second level forms a second floor above the entry level. The intermediate levels can therefore form further floors between the first and second floors.

[0018] In one embodiment, the parking system has two second levels, one located above and one below the entry level. Thus, the second levels form a top level and a bottom level of the parking system.

[0019] Preferably, each parking device of the parking units of the second level (of the second floor) is vertically movable into one of the parking units of the entry level.

[0020] Preferably, at least one parking unit on the entrance level (of the first floor) does not have a parking device.

[0021] Preferably, the parking system has at least one further level located between the entry level and the second level, each level comprising several parking units, each with a parking device, wherein the parking units are designed to accommodate one two-wheeler each and are arranged horizontally next to each other, wherein at least one, preferably each, parking device of the parking units in the intermediate level is movable in the horizontal direction of movement into an adjacent parking unit and at least one, preferably each, parking device is movable in the vertical direction of movement into one of the parking units of the entry level.

[0022] Preferably, at least one parking unit of the at least one intermediate level, in particular of each intermediate level, does not have a parking device.

[0023] Because the entry level (or the first floor) and preferably each level between the second level and the entry level, i.e. the intermediate level(s), has one less parking device than the second level (or the second floor), it is possible to move each of the upper parking devices, i.e., each of the parking devices located in levels above or below the entry level, upwards or downwards into the entry level after the respective parking device(s) below or above it in the entry level or on the first floor, and preferably in the intermediate levels, has been moved horizontally to the side.

[0024] The vertical movement of the parking devices on the second level (or second floor) and preferably on each level except the entry level, i.e., the intermediate level(s) and the second level(s), is preferably achieved via a lifting system that has a vertically arranged guide, preferably a vertical rail, for each parking device. The lifting system can, for example, have a central column or two columns per parking device as guides. Preferably, at least one guide is provided near each of the two ends of the support rail (rail on which the carriage is movably mounted). The support rail preferably has rollers at its ends, each of which is enclosed by a guide and rolls on the guides. The lifting system is driven by a drive element, e.g., hydraulically via a lifting cylinder or mechanically, the mechanical drive being, for example, via a chain or a cable connected to a motor, e.g., a hydraulic motor.The electric motor is coupled. Preferably, at least one drive element is provided at each end of the support rail.

[0025] The horizontal movement of the parking devices on the entry level, and preferably on each level between the second level and the entry level (i.e., the intermediate level(s)), can be achieved by providing each parking device, which is horizontally movable (e.g., by rollers), with its own individual drive, allowing each parking device to be moved independently. Alternatively, the parking devices on the lower level can be moved by a central drive, such as a rack and pinion, with the individual parking devices being magnetically coupled to the rack and pinion drive. This makes it possible to move a parking device individually or all parking devices together.

[0026] In another embodiment, the parking devices on the first floor are movable vertically, and those on the second floor are movable horizontally perpendicular to the insertion direction. The number of parking devices on the second floor is lower than on the first floor. The access openings are assigned to the second floor. This allows the parking system to be installed, for example, so that the first floor is at least partially sunken into the ground, with the access openings of the second floor at ground level. Alternatively, such a parking system can also be installed so that the access openings of the second floor are accessible by, for example, a staircase or similar means.

[0027] Preferably, each parking unit of the entry level or the first floor has a separate entry opening, wherein each parking device can be arranged at an entry opening of the parking system in such a way that a two-wheeler can be moved through the entry opening onto the arranged parking device.

[0028] This offers the advantage that different two-wheelers can be parked and retrieved through the same entrance, eliminating the need for separate entrances for the parking units on the second floor. Using a chip, card, key, or code, the desired parking space is retrieved from behind locked doors, and the entrance where the provided parking space is located is unlocked. The door or gate at the entrance can then be opened either manually or automatically. After the two-wheeler is parked, the door is closed again manually or automatically (e.g., by pressing a button) and locked either manually or automatically. The parking system can include a control unit that stores information about which parking space the two-wheeler was parked in and links access to that space with an access authorization (e.g., a key card).the chip, code, or key of the person who placed the bicycle in the parking system). Vertically movable parking devices are always entered and exited through the same entry points. Horizontally movable parking devices, however, can be entered and exited through various entry points on the first floor, depending on which parking unit the device is currently located in.

[0029] According to one embodiment, the parking system further comprises at least one lockable entry opening for driving a two-wheeler into one of the parking units of the entry level in the insertion direction.

[0030] Preferably, each parking device has a carriage, the carriage being designed to drive onto at least one wheel of the two-wheeler. The carriage is further designed to be horizontally movable in and against the insertion direction.

[0031] According to one embodiment, the sled has a locking device designed to fix the two-wheeler onto the sled, so that the fixed two-wheeler can be inserted into the parking unit in the insertion direction by moving the sled.

[0032] This type of parking system allows for easy and secure parking of a two-wheeler. The parking device with its locking mechanism enables safe parking of the two-wheeler without significant physical exertion. Since the parking unit is specifically designed to accommodate a two-wheeler, it also offers a compact design. Furthermore, the lockable parking system / unit provides theft protection. This results in an improved parking system that is easy to use and offers a high level of security, even for parking expensive two-wheelers.

[0033] The at least one lockable access opening can include a lockable door or gate and can be locked and unlocked, for example, using a key, chip, code, or card. After unlocking, the door can be opened either manually or automatically. After the two-wheeler is parked, the door is closed again either manually or automatically (e.g., by pressing a button) and locked either manually or automatically.

[0034] A locking device is, for example, a device that can hold a wheel, preferably the front wheel, of a two-wheeler firmly in its position, preventing the two-wheeler from tipping over when parked or during parking or unparking. This protects the two-wheeler from tipping over and potential damage, and protects the person parking the two-wheeler from the two-wheeler falling over and potential injuries. The selection of the locking device is preferably tailored to the dimensions of the two-wheeler, in particular the tire size and thickness, and the weight of the two-wheeler.

[0035] 'Two-wheelers' can include motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, bicycles and / or e-bikes.

[0036] Preferably, the parking unit is designed to accommodate exactly one two-wheeler. This allows for a compact and secure parking system.

[0037] Preferably, a parking system is designed for parking a specific type of two-wheeler, e.g., bicycles / e-bikes or motorcycles. However, it is also possible to configure the parking units with parking devices for different two-wheelers, e.g., one parking unit for a bicycle, one for an e-bike, and one for a motorcycle. The entry openings are preferably adapted to the individual two-wheelers, thus enabling the most compact design possible for the parking system.

[0038] The exterior design of the parking system can be customized in any way. For example, the exterior walls can be clad with wood or plastic panels. The parking system is generally designed to be installed outdoors and therefore able to withstand the elements.

[0039] In one embodiment, the parking device comprises rollers arranged such that the carriage can be moved horizontally by rolling the rollers. This results in low rolling friction and smooth running, enabling easy movement of the carriage. The rollers can be mounted either on the carriage itself or on a support rail on which the carriage is mounted for horizontal movement. Preferably, the rollers are mounted on the carriage and run on the support rail. The rollers on the carriage can engage the support rail (e.g., by providing two rows of rollers with the support rail running between them). Preferably, the rollers on the carriage are engaged by the support rail.

[0040] In one embodiment, the sled has a rocker element for receiving the wheel, preferably the front wheel, of the two-wheeler onto the sled, wherein the rocker element is designed in such a way that in a first position it serves as a ramp on the ground for driving the wheel of the two-wheeler onto the sled and folds upwards into a second position by driving the wheel into the sled.

[0041] Such a rocker element facilitates the loading of the wheel onto the carriage. This is particularly advantageous for heavy two-wheelers such as motorcycles. Preferably, the rocker element is designed so that it rests on the ground before the wheel is loaded, thus forming a ramp between the ground and the carriage. During the loading process, the rocker element folds upwards from the ground as the wheel moves onto the carriage, thereby not obstructing the carriage's movement during the subsequent parking process. The rocker element can also serve to prevent the two-wheeler from rolling out of the carriage until the wheel is secured by the locking mechanism. Particularly preferred is the activation of the locking mechanism linked to the folding of the rocker element during the loading of the wheel onto the carriage.The wheel is driven onto the carriage via the rocker element, while the rocker element folds upwards as it is driven onto the carriage and the wheel is fixed in the carriage by the locking device.

[0042] The rocker element, for example, has a pivot bearing mounted on the slide, around which the rocker element can pivot, the axis of rotation of the pivot bearing being horizontal and perpendicular to the insertion direction. The rocker element can further have two legs extending from the pivot bearing perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The legs can form an angle between 80° and 150° with each other.

[0043] In one embodiment, the carriage is designed so that it can be moved from a front position next to the entry opening for receiving the two-wheeler to a rear position on a rear wall of the parking unit opposite the entry opening, wherein the movement of the carriage between the front and rear positions is carried out actively by a drive unit that drives the carriage, and / or passively by the user.

[0044] Due to the horizontal mobility of the carriage in the parking device up to the respective entry opening against the insertion direction, it is possible to park the two-wheeler from the outside, i.e., to place the wheel (preferably the front wheel) of the two-wheeler on the carriage and park it (automatic retraction or by pushing the two-wheeler in at the rear of the two-wheeler) and to park it again without having to enter the parking system.

[0045] Preferably, for lightweight two-wheelers such as bicycles / e-bikes, the carriages are passively inserted into and removed from the parking unit by the user. A drive unit can be provided to actively move the carriage in and / or against the insertion direction, particularly from the front position to the rear position and vice versa. The drive unit can, for example, comprise a circulating rope or chain and a motor that moves the rope / chain in the appropriate direction, with the carriage attached to the rope / chain in such a way that it moves with the rope / chain. This is particularly advantageous for heavier two-wheelers, such as motorcycles or similar vehicles. The drive unit can be actuated via a release element, such as a button, lever, or push button.The drive unit can include a spring, which is pre-tensioned when the carriage is inserted and locks the carriage in a rear position. When the lock is released, the carriage is moved to a forward position by releasing the spring. Alternatively, the spring is pre-tensioned and locked in the forward position when the carriage is automatically extended, and moved to the rear position by releasing the spring.

[0046] In one embodiment, the locking device has at least one clamping element which, when actuated, clamps the wheel of the two-wheeler in a transverse direction.

[0047] The term 'transverse direction' refers to a direction that runs perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sled.

[0048] This type of securing device, also known as 'pinching', is preferably used on lightweight two-wheelers such as bicycles / e-bikes, but it can also be used on heavier two-wheelers. The front wheel of a bicycle is preferably clamped in the clamping element, but it is also possible to secure the rear wheel of two-wheelers in this way.

[0049] The term "clamping" refers to a locking device on the carriage that includes a clamping element. This clamping element preferably has two jaws designed to grip the bicycle on both sides, exerting pressure on the wheel and thus securing it. This prevents the bicycle from tipping over. Preferably, the clamping element is released by actuating a release element, such as a lever, pedal, or button. The locking device can also have two or more clamping elements that clamp the wheel at multiple positions from the side. Preferably, the clamping element(s) presses against the tire. Because the locking device only presses against the tire and not the rim, the rim is protected from damage when entering and exiting the parking system.

[0050] In one embodiment, the locking device has at least two pulling elements designed to be attached to the left and right handlebars of the two-wheeler, securing the two-wheeler by a downward or diagonally downward pull. These pulling elements can be provided in addition to, or as an alternative to, the clamping element. In the latter case, the locking device can have a retaining bracket for securing the wheel of the two-wheeler. This prevents the two-wheeler from rolling away when the pull is applied.

[0051] This locking device is preferably used on heavy two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles or similar, as their weight necessitates a locking device designed for heavier loads. However, the locking device can also be used on lighter two-wheeled vehicles. The use of at least one element on each side of the handlebars ensures a secure hold for the two-wheeler. The two pulling elements can be, for example, ropes or wire ropes, preferably equipped with hooks or loops at their free ends for attachment to both sides of the handlebars. The pulling elements (e.g., ropes) can be attached to a winding element, such as a drum or a winch mounted on the carriage. When locking, the pulling elements are attached to the left and right sides of the handlebars, and the ropes are pulled either manually, preferably via a foot lever, or automatically, preferably by actuating a motor, e.g., a motor.At the push of a button, the cables are wound onto the winding element. This winding action tensions the cables, particularly those attached to the handlebars, by creating a downward or diagonal downward pull, thus securing them to the handlebars. Preferably, the winding element is located in the front section of the carriage, in front of the wheel, and generates a forward-slanting pull when the attached cables are tensioned.

[0052] In one embodiment, the parking unit is designed for a predetermined two-wheeler with a predetermined width, wherein the entry opening has a width such that a two-wheeler with a width greater than the predetermined width cannot pass through the entry opening. This prevents excessively large two-wheelers, i.e., two-wheelers wider than the entry opening, from being driven into the parking system or the corresponding parking unit. It also prevents a person from entering a parking unit while the two-wheeler is being parked or unparked, thus generally increasing safety during this process. Preferably, the width of the entry opening is in the range of 0.5 m to 1.5 m, 0.7 m to 1.3 m, or 0.9 m to 1.1 m.

[0053] The parking units can be designed with a height that allows the bicycles to be lifted within the parking system as needed, without the bicycle colliding with the ceiling or a parking unit above. The height of the parking units depends on the application, i.e., the dimensions of the bicycles to be parked and the area (private, hotel, public) where the parking system is located. The height may also be limited by building regulations. The height of a single-story system is preferably in the range of 0.5–1.5 m, 0.7–1.3 m, or 0.9–1.1 m. For a two-story parking system, the overall height is typically between 1.0–3.0 m, 1.2–2.8 m, or 1.4–2.6 m.

[0054] The parking units can also be adjusted in length to suit the two-wheeled vehicles intended for parking. This limited length prevents excessively long two-wheeled vehicles from being parked in the system, as this would prevent the respective door / gate from closing and thus compromise secure storage. Preferably, the length of a parking unit is between 1.5 and 3 meters, 1.8 and 2.7 meters, or 1.5 and 2.4 meters. By adjusting the width, height, and / or length to the specific two-wheeled vehicles to be parked in each unit, it is possible to provide a very compact parking system.

[0055] In one embodiment, each parking unit on the entry level or first floor has a separate entry opening, the entry openings being lockable separately, preferably by a chip (e.g., RFID chip), a code, a key, a smartphone, or a card. The parking system can, for example, have a corresponding locking mechanism for each parking unit, such as a manually or electrically operated lock that secures a door or gate provided in the entry opening.

[0056] This prevents unauthorized access to other people's bicycles, thus ensuring the secure storage of each bicycle within the parking system. The use of a chip, smartphone, or card offers the advantage of contactless unlocking and / or opening (if the door is automated) of the parking system.

[0057] In one embodiment, at least one parking device is provided with a charging port, preferably for electrical charging, of a two-wheeler. Preferably, each parking device is equipped with a charging port, and particularly preferably, each parking device intended for parking an e-bike.

[0058] This makes it possible to charge e-bikes while they are securely stored in the parking system. The e-bikes are therefore always ready for use when being retrieved, regardless of whether the parking system is private, at hotels, or in a public space. Alternatively or additionally, the charging ports can also be used, for example, to charge the batteries of motorcycles or similar devices.

[0059] In one embodiment, the parking system has at least two parking units arranged horizontally side by side. The parking device of one parking unit is movable in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the insertion direction into the other parking unit.

[0060] Furthermore, a method for parking a two-wheeler in a parking system according to one of the previously described configurations is provided. The method comprises the movement of a parking device of a first parking unit of the entry level in a horizontal direction into an adjacent parking unit, the movement of a parking device of a second parking unit of the second level in a vertical direction into the first parking unit of the entry level, and the placement of at least one wheel of the two-wheeler in the parking device in the first parking unit.

[0061] Naturally, the features of the previously described embodiments and aspects of the present invention can be combined. The method can encompass all configurations of the parking system. Brief description of the drawings

[0063] Fig. 1 Figure 1 schematically shows a parking system 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention in a perspective view. Viewed from the outside, the parking system 2 preferably forms a cuboid. The parking system 2 is preferably enclosed on its entire outer surface by a front 4a, two side walls 4b, a top 4c and a bottom 4e (see Figure 1). Fig. 4 ) closed. The in Fig. 1The parking system 2 shown is designed with two levels. All subsequent figures also refer to a two-level parking system 2. However, the parking system 2 can also be designed with one, three, or more levels. The parking system 2 has parallel entrance openings 6 arranged side by side in the lower area of ​​its front face 4a, which are preferably lockable separately by, for example, a gate or a door 8. In the case of Fig. 1The parking system 2 has five entry openings 6. However, the number of entry openings can also be two, three, four, six, or more, depending on the size of the parking system 2. Two-wheeled vehicles can be driven into the parking system 2 and parked in an insertion direction A – preferably parallel to the side walls 4b – through one of the entry openings 6. The doors 8 can be opened and / or closed either manually and / or automatically. In a manual version, the doors preferably have a handle 10 for opening and closing by hand. Particularly preferably, the doors are opened automatically by entering a code or scanning a chip card and closed automatically after the parking or exiting process is completed.

[0064] Fig. 2 schematically shows parking system 2 of the Fig. 1in a sectional view from the front, where the parking system 2 has an entry level or a first floor 14 and a second level or a second floor 16 above it (floors 14, 16 are each indicated by dashed lines in Fig. 2 (outlined). Each floor 14, 16 comprises several parking units 12 (each defined by dotted lines in Fig. 2 (surrounded), wherein the parking units 12 have corresponding parking devices 19a, 19b for parking and unparking a two-wheeler. In the case of Fig. 2The parking units 12 on the first floor 14 feature parking devices 19a, and the parking units 12 on the second floor 16 feature parking devices 19b. Parking devices 19a and 19b differ in the design of their locking mechanisms, the respective structures of which are described in more detail in the following figures. The parking devices 19a and 19b can be distributed arbitrarily between the floors 14 and 16; that is, within a single floor, one parking unit 12 can have a different parking device than another parking unit 12 on the same floor. It is also possible for all parking units to have the same type of parking device.

[0065] The parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 are movable in a horizontal direction of movement C, which is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the insertion direction A. The parking devices 19b of the second floor 16 are movable in a vertical direction of movement B. The parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 are arranged such that they can be moved into one of the adjacent parking units 12 of the first floor 14. The parking devices 19b of the second floor 16 are arranged such that they can each be moved into the parking units 12 of the first floor 14 that are located below the respective parking units 12 of the second floor 16. The first floor 14 preferably has one fewer parking device than the second floor 16. Fig. 2Parking unit 12 on the far left of the first floor 14 does not have a parking device 19a. This makes it possible to move the parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 horizontally. In particular, it is possible to move a parking device 19a located in a parking unit 12 of the first floor 14 to the side. In this way, space can be made for any parking device 19b above it on the second floor 16, so that it can be moved vertically from the corresponding parking unit 12 of the second floor 16 into a parking unit 12 of the first floor 14. The second floor preferably has a parking device in each parking unit.

[0066] The vertical movement of the parking devices 19b on the second floor 16 is preferably effected by a lifting system, which has one (telescopic) column, e.g., a lifting cylinder 18, per parking device 19b. The lifting system is driven, e.g., hydraulically (hydraulic lifting cylinder) or mechanically via a chain or steel cable coupled to a motor. The lifting system can, for example, have a guide in which a cantilever arm is guided so as to be vertically displaceable and can be raised or lowered by means of the cable / chain.

[0067] The horizontal movement of the parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 is preferably carried out via roller elements 22a (see Fig. 6), wherein each parking device 19a has an individual drive or all parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 have a central drive, e.g. via a motor and a rack. In a rack-and-pinion design, the individual parking devices 19a can, for example, be magnetically coupled to the rack-and-pinion drive. This makes it possible, in the case of parking system 2, to Fig. 2 It is possible to move one parking device 19a individually and / or two, three or all four parking devices 19a of the first floor 14 by means of a motor.

[0068] During the parking process of a two-wheeler, the parking system 2 preferably automatically provides a parking device 19a, 19b with a free space at one of the entry openings 6. When a two-wheeler is being parked out, the parking device 19a, 19b is preferably automatically provided with the two-wheeler to be parked out. Particularly preferably, the provision occurs automatically after, for example, the entry of a code or the scanning of a chip card.

A corresponding control device can be provided that automatically controls these processes.

[0069] Fig. 3 schematically shows the parking device of the Fig. 1with several parked two-wheelers 50 in a rear view. On the first floor 14 on the right side, the parking unit 12 without parking device 19a can be seen, which enables the horizontal movement of the parking devices 19a of the first floor 14. This makes it possible for each parking device 19b with the respective two-wheeler 50 of the second floor 16 to be moved vertically into a free parking unit 12 below on the first floor 14.

[0070] As described above, the parking system can also have more than two levels, e.g., three, four, or five levels. The additional levels are preferably arranged between the entry level / first level and the second level / second level below or above it. The intermediate levels / levels are preferably designed like the entry level or first level, with the intermediate levels / levels being vertically and horizontally movable. Particularly preferably, the intermediate levels / levels have one fewer parking device than the second level or second level. This allows all parking devices located on levels / levels above or below the entry level to be moved into the entry level.In particular, a parking device on the second level (the second floor) can be moved horizontally by moving the parking devices of the parking units below (i.e., the parking units of the intermediate levels below and the entry level) into a parking unit on the entry level. Thus, two-wheeled vehicles can be parked in or out of any parking device in the parking system.

[0071] For example, the parking system can have five levels. Such a parking system can, for example, have an entry level, a second level above and below it, and an intermediate level between the entry level and the second level above it, as well as an intermediate level between the entry level and the second level below it. The entry level can preferably be located at ground level, and the levels below the entry level can, for example, be recessed into the ground. Alternatively, a five-level parking system can also have an entry level, a second level above it, and three intermediate levels between the entry level and the second level.

Several individual vertical rails 24 arranged parallel to each other can also be provided near each of the two end sections of the support rail 28, serving to guide the parking device 19b vertically.

[0076] Preferably, the parking devices 19a, 19b are configured such that the rolling elements 22a, 22b are each positioned perpendicularly on the vertical rails 24 and transverse rails 26. The number of rolling elements 22a, 22b can be arbitrary. Alternatively, the rolling elements 22a, 22b can engage the vertical rails 24 and / or transverse rails 26, or the rolling elements 22a, 22b can be arranged on the vertical rails 24 and / or transverse rails 26 and not on the parking devices 19a, 19b.

[0077] The following describes the general parking and unparking procedure for a two-wheeler in parking system 2.

[0078] When exiting the parking system, gate 8 is first unlocked and opened manually or automatically. The parked bicycle is then either manually pulled out of the parking system 2 through the entry opening 6 by pulling on its rear section, or it is automatically moved outwards, with the carriage 30 driven, for example, by a chain and a motor. Once the bicycle has fully exited, a locking device (described in more detail in the following figures) is released either manually or automatically, allowing the bicycle to be removed and gate 8 to be closed and locked again.

[0079] When parking, gate 8 is opened and the carriage 30, unless already in a forward position within the entry opening, is either manually pulled out or automatically extended. The bicycle is then moved onto carriage 30 with its front wheel (or alternatively, its rear wheel), and a locking mechanism is activated manually or automatically. Activating the locking mechanism securely holds the bicycle in its upright position. The bicycle is then pushed in, either manually by pushing at the rear or automatically by pulling the carriage with the bicycle in. Gate 8 is then closed and locked, either manually or automatically. The automated parking and exiting option is preferred for heavier bicycles.

[0080] Fig. 6 schematically shows the parking device 19a of a parking unit 12 of the Fig. 4according to an embodiment of the present invention in a perspective view. Since the parking device 19a is already described in the description of the Figures 3 to 5 Since some aspects have already been described, only the additional features will be discussed below.

Fig. 8For example, the side elements 42a, 44a are designed as two opposing jaws, which can be actuated, for example, via corresponding lever elements. Both jaws can be movable, or one jaw can form a rigid element, whereby the wheel is pressed against the rigid jaw by actuating the movable jaw and thus fixed between the two jaws.

[0083] The second clamping element 38b is preferably designed similarly to the first clamping element 38a, wherein a base surface 40b of the second clamping element 38b is connected to the first clamping element 38a via the connecting element 46. Preferably, the connecting element 46 is designed such that a wheel of a two-wheeler can rest against the base surfaces 40a, 40b of the clamping elements when driving onto the carriage 30 or into the clamping element 38. The second clamping element 38b is preferably perpendicular to the base surface 36 of the carriage 30. On the two sides that are perpendicular to the base surface 36 of the carriage 30, the second clamping element 38b preferably has a first and second side element 42b, 44b.The side elements 42b, 44b are preferably designed like the side elements 42a, 44a of the first clamping element, wherein the wheel of a parked two-wheeler 50 is clamped on both sides from the front in a clamping movement direction E2 transverse to the movement direction D of the slide (see .

Preferably, the front wheel is in contact with the base surfaces 40a, 40b and the connecting element 46 and is clamped on both sides from the left and right by the side elements 42a, 42b, 44a, 44b. The wheel is preferably clamped at the tire to prevent damage to the rim of the two-wheeler. This type of locking device is preferably used for lighter two-wheelers, e.g., bicycles or motor scooters.

[0086] Fig. 9 schematically shows the parking device 19b of a parking unit 12 of the Fig. 4 according to a further embodiment of the present invention in a perspective view. Since the parking device 19b is already described in the description of the Figures 3 to 5Since some aspects have already been described, only the additional features will be discussed below. All further descriptions according to the Figures 3 to 5 The provisions regarding parking facilities 19b are therefore also valid here.

[0087] Parking device 19b differs from... Fig. 6 Another embodiment for securing a two-wheeler to the handlebars during parking and unparking is described. Accordingly, the carriage 30 preferably has a receiving bracket 52 for receiving a front wheel of a two-wheeler. The receiving bracket 52 is preferably connected to the base surface 36 of the carriage along a certain area on the left and right sides and is oriented such that a front wheel can be moved into the receiving bracket 52 in the insertion direction A. Alternatively, instead of the receiving bracket 52, the clamping element 38 or a clamping component thereof can be provided.

[0088] The sled 30 has a locking device, wherein the locking device has two pull elements 56a, 56b which can be attached to the left and right of the handlebars of the two-wheeler. In the example of Fig. 9 These elements are designed as a rope or chain, e.g., as a wire section. The carriage 30 has a winding element 54, e.g., a winch, for winding up, e.g., a rope or wire rope. Preferably, the winding element 54 is arranged at the end section 47 of the carriage. The winding element 54 can be provided on both sides with a rope or wire rope 56a, 56b, wherein the rope 56a is intended for hooking onto a left handlebar 62a and the rope 56b is intended for hooking onto a right handlebar 62b of the two-wheeler (see Fig. 11More than two ropes can also be provided for hooking onto the handlebars of the two-wheeler. For hooking the ropes 56a, 56b onto the respective handlebar side 62a, 62b, attachment elements 58a, 58b, such as a hook or a loop, can be provided at the free end of the ropes 56a, 56b. Preferably, the end section 47 of the carriage has a receiving device 60 for storing the ropes 56a, 56b when no two-wheeler is parked on the parking device 19b. Preferably, the receiving device 60 extends vertically upwards from the end section 47 of the carriage, for example, over two parallel rods, with, for example, a horizontal rod arranged at the upper end of the vertical rods, on the outer ends of which one of the ropes 56a, 56b can be stored.

[0089] Fig. 10 schematically shows a front view of the parking device 19b of the Fig. 9The design of the connection between slide 30 and support rail 28 is identical to the designs described above in the context of Fig. 7 are described. Possible design variants of the parking device 19a of the Fig. 7 are therefore also for parking device 19b of the Fig. 10 valid.

[0090] Fig. 11 schematically shows the parking device 19b of the Fig. 9 with a parked two-wheeler 50 and Fig. 12 shows a detailed view of an area, in particular the locking mechanism of the Fig. 11 , from the side. After the two-wheeler 50 has been driven onto the carriage 30 and the wheel, preferably the front wheel, has been moved into the receiving bracket 52, the suspension elements 58a, 58b of the wire sections 56a, 56b are manually attached to both sides of the handlebars 62a, 62b. Subsequently, the cables 56a, 56b are wound in a winding direction F by actuating the winding element 54 (see Fig. 12(along the arrows shown) is wound onto the winding element 54. This puts the wire ropes 56a, 56b, and thus the suspension elements 58a, 58b on the handlebars of the two-wheeler 50, under tension, and fixes the two-wheeler 50 at an angle downwards by a directed tensile force. This type of locking device is preferably used for heavy two-wheelers, such as motorcycles. Alternatively, instead of the mounting bracket 52, a rocker element (not shown) can be provided in the parking device 19b, which is rotatable via a pivot bearing on the side of the slide facing the entry opening 6 (see figure). Fig. 5The rocker element is mounted on the pivot bearing. It preferably has two legs extending from the pivot bearing towards the axis of rotation. In a first position, when parking the two-wheeler 50, the first leg of the rocker element serves as a ramp to move the wheel of the two-wheeler 50 onto the carriage 30. In this position, the first leg touches the ground and forms a ramp for the two-wheeler. The second leg is preferably vertically oriented. As the wheel moves onto the carriage 30, it presses against the second leg, and the rocker element flips into a second position as a result of the wheel's movement in the insertion direction A. In the second position, the second leg is horizontally arranged, and the first leg no longer touches the ground. This prevents the first leg of the rocker element from being dislodged during the further parking process, i.e., when pushing the two-wheeler 50 onto the carriage 30.Pulling the sled 30 with the two-wheeler 50 into the parking system 2, the movement of the sled 30 in insertion direction A is hindered by a contact between rocker element and ground (cf. .
