[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-246978 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When using a bicycle parking lot, it is necessary to lock and unlock the bicycle. In case of using the bicycle parking lot at night, lighting is sometimes installed above the bicycle parking lot. However, it is difficult to lock and unlock the bicycle if it is dark around the hands and feet. In addition, if the lighting in the parking lot is installed in a high place, maintenance is time-consuming. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A bicycle parking area that solves the above problems is characterized by comprising a wall, a privacy screen placed in front of the wall, lighting equipment placed between the wall and the privacy screen to illuminate the wall, and a roof on top of the wall that covers the bicycle parking space in front of the privacy screen. Effect of the Invention

[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a bicycle parking lot that is easy to use at night, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bicycle parking lot according to an embodiment. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a side view of a bicycle parking lot according to an embodiment. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main portion of a bicycle parking lot according to an embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the bicycle parking lot S1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In this embodiment, a bicycle parking lot attached to an apartment building is assumed. 1, the bicycle parking lot S1 includes a wall 110 (a privacy wall) made of reinforced concrete and a roof 120. The roof 120 is fixed to the upper part of the wall 110 in a cantilever manner. The roof 120 has an inclination of about 5 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, which increases with distance from the wall 110.

[0009] A bicycle parking space 200 is provided below the roof 120. In this bicycle parking space 200, bicycle parking stands 210 into which bicycle wheels are inserted are arranged in a row. A privacy plate 130 is disposed between the bicycle parking space 200 and the wall 110. That is, the bicycle parking space 200 is provided in front of the privacy plate 130 (on the opposite side to the wall 110).

[0010] 2 is a side view of the bicycle parking lot S1. Between the bicycle parking space 200 and the screen 130, a lighting fixture 140 is provided. 3 is an enlarged view of the lighting fixture 140. In the lighting fixture 140, a light emitting device 145 is disposed.

[0011] A vertical member of steel material 141 (equal-leg angle iron) having an L-shaped cross section is fixed by an anchor to the lower part of wall 110. A horizontal member of steel material 142 (equal-leg angle iron) having an L-shaped cross section is overlapped and fixed to the horizontal member of steel material 141, so that steel material 141 supports steel material 142. Therefore, steel materials 141 and 142 function as support members for privacy plate 130 and light-emitting device 145.

[0012] A blind plate 130 is fixed to the vertical member of the steel material 142 by means of stud bolts or the like. The horizontal member of the steel material 142 has a plurality of drain holes 148 at predetermined intervals.

[0013] A light emitting device 145 is provided in the horizontal direction on the horizontal member of the steel material 142. In this embodiment, the light emitting device 145 is a straight tube type LED lamp. Light emitting device 145 is supplied with power from a commercial power source via a power line (not shown) arranged on line receiver 149 .

[0014] Moreover, a transparent cover 147 is provided above the light-emitting device 145 so as to cover the upper surface of the light-emitting device 145. This transparent cover 147 is inclined so that the wall 110 side is lower. Due to this inclination, the light emitted by the light-emitting device 145 is projected upward and onto the wall 110, thereby realizing indirect lighting in the bicycle parking space 200.

[0015] (action) Since the light emitting device 145 is disposed between the wall 110 and the screen 130, the light can be reflected by the wall 110 and the roof 120 to illuminate the bicycle parking space 200.

[0016] According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In this embodiment, the light emitting device 145 is disposed between the wall 110 and the privacy plate 130. This allows the light emitting device 145 to be protected from collision with a bicycle or the like by the privacy plate 130. Furthermore, direct light toward a bicycle user can be suppressed.

[0017] (2) In this embodiment, by directing the light emitted from the light-emitting device 145 upward to light up the bicycle parking space 200, the bicycle parking space 200 can be indirectly illuminated from the side by the light reflected from the wall 110. By directing the light emitted from the light-emitting device 145 toward the roof 120, the bicycle parking space 200 can be indirectly illuminated from above.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 1, an area a1 under the wall 110 and an area a2 on the wall 110 side of the roof 120 can be illuminated with a gradation to achieve an attractive lighting design. Furthermore, the roof 120 is inclined so that it becomes higher the further it is from the wall 110, so that a wide area a2 can be illuminated. This allows the lighting to illuminate the area close to the user of the bicycle parking space 200 at night, making it easier to store and retrieve bicycles.

[0019] (3) In this embodiment, a transparent cover 147 is provided above the light emitting device 145 so as to cover the upper surface of the light emitting device 145. This makes it possible to protect the light emitting device 145 from rainfall and the like. In addition, rainfall accumulated in the steel material 142 can be drained through the drainage hole 148.

[0020] (4) In this embodiment, the state of the light emitting device 145 can be confirmed from above between the wall 110 and the privacy panel 130. This makes it easy to perform maintenance on the light emitting device 145 according to its state.

[0021] This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that there is no technical contradiction. In the above embodiment, the light emitting device 145 is supported by the steel members 141 and 142. The method of supporting the light emitting device 145 is not limited to this. For example, the blind plate 130 may be fixed to a flange of an H-shaped steel, and the light emitting device 145 may be supported by a web. Also, a channel steel may be used.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the privacy plate 130 is fixed to the steel materials 141, 142. Separately from the steel materials 141, 142, the privacy plate 130 may be erected on the ground. In the above embodiment, the light emitting device 145 is supplied with power through a power line of a commercial power source. The power generated by the solar panel may be stored in a storage battery and supplied to the light emitting device 145 at night. In this case, the solar panel may be placed on the roof 120.

[0023] In the above embodiment, an illumination sensor may be provided in the bicycle parking area S1 so that the light emitting device 145 is turned on according to the brightness of the surroundings. In the above embodiment, a straight-tube LED lamp is used as the light-emitting device 145. The light-emitting device is not limited to a straight-tube LED lamp. For example, light-emitting elements that emit point-like light may be linearly arranged. [Explanation of symbols]
