[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a stand-up type vehicle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 10 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a stand-up type vehicle storage device according to the present invention.

[0015] 1 to 10, the direction of movement of a stand-on vehicle accommodated in a storage device is defined as a front-rear direction, with the carry-in side being defined as the front and the carry-out side being defined as the rear.

[0016] The direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the stand-on vehicle in the horizontal plane is defined as the left-right direction, and the left side when looking at the loading section from the unloading section is defined as the left, and the right side is defined as the right. The height direction of the storage device is defined as the up-down direction, with the main frame side defined as the top and the third frame side defined as the bottom.

[0017] First, the configuration will be described. 1 and 2, a stand-up vehicle 1 can be used in amusement parks, theme parks, leisure spots, and other commercial facilities, and includes a base 2 and a rear wall 3.

[0018] The base 2 extends in the front-rear direction, and a rider 51 can ride in a standing position with his / her feet on the base 2 (see FIG. 4). A pair of left and right front wheels 4 and a pair of left and right rear wheels 5 are rotatably supported on the base 2. The front wheels 4 and rear wheels 5 in this embodiment constitute wheels.

[0019] The rear wall 3 protrudes upward from the rear end of the base 2, and as shown in Fig. 3, a front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 extends obliquely upward and forward from the rear end of the base 2. That is, the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment is formed in an L-shape when viewed from the right direction in Figs. 3 and 4.

[0020] A driver 51 gets on to the standing type vehicle 1 by positioning himself / herself forward with respect to the rear wall 3 and placing his / her feet on the base portion 2.

[0021] A rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 extends from the rear end of the base portion 2 in parallel with the front portion 3a, and then extends obliquely upward to the rear via a bent portion 3c.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the rear wall 3 has a seat 3A on which the driver 51 sits. The seat 3A curves obliquely upward and rearward from an upper end 3d of a front part 3a of the rear wall 3, and a front end part of the seat 3A (i.e., an upper end 3d of the front part 3a of the rear wall 3) is located at a position lower than a rear end part 3h of the seat 3A. This allows the driver 51 to sit on the seat 3A from the front side.

[0023] A seat portion 3A is provided at the upper portion of the rear wall 3, which curves diagonally upward and rearward from the upper end 3d of the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3, so that the thickness in the fore-and-aft direction between the front portion 3a and the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 becomes thicker as it goes upward.

[0024] An upper portion of the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 constitutes a back panel 3B used as a backrest, and the back panel 3B extends upward from a rear end portion 3h of the seat portion 3A.

[0025] 1, the rear wall 3 has a right side wall 3C and a left side wall 3D. The right side wall 3C extends upward from the right end of the seat portion 3A, and its rear end is connected to the back panel 3B and extends forward from the back panel 3B.

[0026] The left side wall 3D extends upward from the left end of the seat portion 3A, has a rear end connected to the back panel 3B, and extends forward from the back panel 3B.

[0027] The seat 3A is disposed between the right side wall 3C and the left side wall 3D in the left-right direction, and the space above the seat 3A is surrounded by the back panel 3B, the right side wall 3C, and the left side wall 3D. The front portion 3e of the right side wall 3C and the front portion 3f of the left side wall 3D extend parallel to the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3.

[0028] As shown by phantom lines in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right in-wheel motors 6 are provided on the base 2, and the in-wheel motors 6 are arranged coaxially with the left and right front wheels 4 and supported by the base 2.

[0029] A battery (not shown) for supplying power to the left and right in-wheel motors 6, a controller, and a communication unit are provided on the base 2. An operation signal output from an operation remote control 7 (described later) is input to the communication unit.

[0030] The controller controls the left and right in-wheel motors 6 individually based on an operation signal input to the communication unit, and drives the left and right front wheels 4 individually.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, a mounting portion 3g for mounting an operation remote control 7 is provided on the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3, and the operation remote control 7 can be freely attached and detached to the mounting portion 3g from the front by the driver 51.

[0032] 5, the operation remote control 7 is provided with a power switch 7A and an operation button 7B. The operation remote control 7 is operated by being held by the driver 51. When the driver 51 turns on the power switch 7A, the stand-up type vehicle 1 becomes operable.

[0033] The operation button 7B performs operations to drive the in-haul motor 6 to drive the stand-type vehicle 1 forward, to change the rotation speed of the stand-type vehicle 1, to make the left or right turn of the stand-type vehicle 1 by differentially rotating the left and right in-haul motors 6, or to stop the left and right in-haul motors 6 to stop the stand-type vehicle 1. The operation remote control 7 of this embodiment constitutes an operation member.

[0034] A headlight 8 is provided at the front end of the base 2. The headlight 8 automatically turns on and off depending on the surrounding brightness.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 6, the stand-type vehicle 1 can be stored in a storage device 10. Here, storage does not mean covering the entire stand-type vehicle 1, but includes holding the stand-type vehicle 1 in an exposed state.

[0036] The storage device 10 includes a storage device main body 11. The storage device main body 11 extends in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) and is capable of storing the stand-on type vehicle 1 therein.

[0037] The storage device 10 is provided with a pallet 12 constituting a placement member. The pallet 12 places the stand-on vehicle 1 thereon, and is provided integrally with the stand-on vehicle 1 so as to be freely movable on the storage device main body 11.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 9, the pallet 12 has a bottom plate 12A, and the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 5 come into contact with the bottom plate 12A, whereby the stand-on vehicle 1 is placed on the bottom plate 12A.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 10, the bottom plate 12A is provided with a left side wall 12B, which protrudes upward from the left end of the bottom plate 12A. The bottom plate 12A is provided with a right side wall 12C (see Fig. 9), which protrudes upward from the right end of the bottom plate 12A.

[0040] The front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 5 are sandwiched between the left side wall 12B and the right side wall 12C from the left and right, and the standing type vehicle 1 is unable to move in the left-right direction relative to the bottom plate 12A.

[0041] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, a carry-in section 11A is provided at the front end (one end in the longitudinal direction) of the storage device main body 11, and the stand-on vehicle 1 is carried onto the pallet 12 at the carry-in section 11A.

[0042] A discharge section 11B is provided at the rear end (the other end in the longitudinal direction) of the storage device main body 11, and the stand-on vehicle 1 is discharged from the pallet 12 at the discharge section 11B.

[0043] A storage section 11C is provided between the carry-in section 11A and the carry-out section 11B in the front-rear direction, and the stand-up type vehicles 1 can be stored side by side in the storage section 11C.

[0044] 9, the bottom plate 12A is provided with a front protrusion 12D and a rear protrusion 12E. When the bottom plate 12A is in a horizontal state, the front protrusion 12D protrudes upward from the front end 12c (the end on the carry-in side) of the bottom plate 12A and extends in the short direction (left-right direction) of the storage device main body 11. In other words, the front protrusion 12D covers the lower part of the front wheel 4 from the front side.

[0045] When the bottom plate 12A is in a horizontal state, the rear protrusion 12E protrudes upward from the rear end 12d (the end on the discharge side) of the bottom plate 12A and extends in the short direction of the storage device main body 11. In other words, the rear protrusion 12E covers the lower part of the front wheel 4 from the rear side.

[0046] As a result, the front wheel 4 and the rear wheel 5 are sandwiched between the front protruding portion 12D and the rear protruding portion 12E in the front-rear direction.

[0047] Therefore, when the stand-on type vehicle 1 tries to move forward, the front wheel 4 comes into contact with the front protruding portion 12D, restricting the forward movement. Also, when the stand-on type vehicle 1 tries to move backward, the rear wheel 5 comes into contact with the rear protruding portion 12E, restricting the backward movement.

[0048] The upper end of the front protruding portion 12D is located higher than the upper end of the rear protruding portion 12E. Therefore, even if the bottom plate 12A is tilted obliquely downward to the front, the front wheels 4 come into contact with a wide area of ​​the front protruding portion 12D and are restricted from moving downward to the front, so that the standing vehicle 1 can be prevented from falling off the pallet 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the front protrusion 12D constitutes a first protrusion, and the rear protrusion 12E constitutes a second protrusion.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 10, the left side wall 12B is provided with a front protrusion 12a and a rear protrusion 12b located rearward of the front protrusion 12a, and the front protrusion 12a and the rear protrusion 12b protrude leftward from the left side wall 12B.

[0051] The right side wall 12C is provided with a front projection (not shown) and a rear projection (not shown) located rearward of the front projection, and the front projection and the rear projection protrude rightward from the right side wall 12C.

[0052] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the storage device main body 11 has a pair of left and right main frames 13, a first frame 14, a second frame 15, a third frame 16, a fourth frame 17, a fifth frame 18, a sixth frame 19 and a seventh frame 20.

[0053] The main frame 13 extends upward from the front end of the storage device main body 11 located at the loading section 11A, then bends forward and extends horizontally to the rear end of the storage device main body 11, and bends downward at the unloading section 11B, forming a U-shape when viewed from the left and right of the storage device 10.

[0054] The first frame 14 is connected to the rear end and the front end of the main frame 13 and extends linearly. That is, the first frame 14 extends linearly from the loading section 11A toward the unloading section 11B.

[0055] The lower surface of the first frame 14 is in contact with the ground 50 , and the first frame 14 is positioned on the ground 50 .

[0056] The second frame 15 has an inclined portion 15A on the loading section side, an intermediate horizontal portion 15B, and an inclined portion 15C on the unloading section side.

[0057] The loading section side inclined section 15A is connected to the first frame 14, and extends obliquely upward and rearward from the first frame 14 toward the unloading section 11B.

[0058] The intermediate horizontal section 15B extends parallel to the first frame 14 from the loading section side inclined section 15A toward the unloading section 11B.

[0059] The unloading-section-side inclined section 15C extends obliquely downward toward the rear side from the intermediate horizontal section 15B toward the unloading section 11B, and is connected to the first frame 14.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first frame 14 and the second frame 15 form a first frame portion, and the storage portion 11C is formed by the intermediate horizontal portion 15B and the first frame 14.

[0061] The first frame portion changes the pallet 12 into a horizontal position as a first position where the stand-type vehicle 1 can be carried in at the carrying-in section 11A, an inclined position (second position) where the pallet 12 is inclined at the intermediate horizontal portion 15B and the first frame 14, and a horizontal position as a third position where the stand-type vehicle 1 can be carried out at the carrying-out section 11B. Here, the horizontal position is a position where the bottom plate 12A is horizontal, and the inclined position is a position where the bottom plate 12A is inclined with respect to the horizontal position.

[0062] The first and third attitudes are not limited to horizontal attitudes, but may be inclined attitudes having smaller angles of inclination with respect to the horizontal axis than the above-mentioned inclined attitudes.

[0063] As shown in Fig. 7, the third frame 16 to the seventh frame 20 are disposed underground (hereinafter referred to as underground space 52). Note that in Fig. 7, the third frame 16 to the seventh frame 20 on the left side are illustrated, and the third frame 16 to the seventh frame 20 on the right side are not illustrated, but the third frame 16 to the seventh frame 20 on the left and right sides have the same shape and are symmetrical.

[0064] The third frame 16 is provided below the first frame 14. The third frame 16 extends parallel to the first frame 14, and is formed to have approximately the same length as the first frame 14.

[0065] The fourth frame 17 connects the rear end 14a (the end on the unloading section side) of the first frame 14 and the rear end 16a (the end on the unloading section side) of the third frame 16, and is formed in a curved shape.

[0066] The fifth frame 18 connects the front end 14b (the end on the loading section side) of the first frame 14 and the front end 16b (the end on the loading section side) of the third frame 16, and is formed in a curved shape.

[0067] The sixth frame 19 connects the part of the first frame 14 on the unloading section 11B side and the part of the third frame 16 on the unloading section 11B side, and is formed in a curved shape.

[0068] The seventh frame 20 connects the front end 15a of the loading section side inclined section 15A and the part of the third frame 16 on the loading section 11A side, and is formed in a curved shape.

[0069] In this embodiment, the third frame 16 to the seventh frame 20 constitute a second frame portion.

[0070] The second frame section is located below the first frame section, and guides the empty pallet 12 after the stand-up vehicle 1 has been transported out of the transport section 11B from the transport section 11B to the transport section 11A in the underground space 52.

[0071] The storage device 10 is provided with a revolving member (not shown) that is configured by a timing belt, a timing chain, or the like.

[0072] The circulating moving member is housed in the second frame 15, a first frame located between the second frame 15 and the fourth frame 17 (hereinafter referred to as the discharge section side frame section 14A), the fourth frame 17, the third frame 16, and the seventh frame 20.

[0073] The circulating member moves circulatingly inside second frame 15, unloading unit side frame section 14A, fourth frame 17, third frame 16 and seventh frame 20 by a driving member such as a driving motor (not shown).

[0074] As shown in FIG. 7, groove portions 14c to 20c are formed in the first frame 14 to the seventh frame 20, respectively, and groove portions 14c to 20c are formed along the extension direction of the first frame 14 to the seventh frame 20.

[0075] An engaging portion 12e (see FIG. 10) is provided at the end of the rear projection 12b, and the engaging portion 12e is controlled by an actuator 47 (see FIG. 10) so as to engage or not engage with the circumferentially moving member.

[0076] Specifically, when the fitting portion 12e of the rear projection 12b is in the fitted state, the fitting portion 12e fits into the circumferentially movable member, and the rear projection 12b becomes circumferentially movable integrally with the circumferentially movable member along the grooves 15c, 14c, 17c, 16c, and 20c.

[0077] Furthermore, when the engaging portion 12e of the rear projection 12b is in a disengaged state, the engaging portion 12e is disengaged from the circumferentially movable member, the rear projection 12b is unable to move integrally with the circumferentially movable member, and the pallet 12 remains stopped.

[0078] The fitting portion 12e has, for example, a ratchet mechanism driven by the actuator 47, and is configured so that the ratchet mechanism is engaged or disengaged with the circumferentially moving member. However, the fitting portion 12e is not limited to the ratchet mechanism as long as it is configured so that it is engaged or disengaged with the circumferentially moving member.

[0079] The front projection 12a is capable of circulating movement along the grooves 14c, 19c, 16c, 18c, and 14c.

[0080] 7, the front protrusion 12a and the rear protrusion 12b move simultaneously in the groove portion 16c of the third frame 16. In this embodiment, the front protrusion 12a is formed shorter than the rear protrusion 12b, and the circumferentially moving member is disposed outside (to the left and right) the groove portion 16c.

[0081] As a result, the front protrusion 12a does not interfere with the circumferentially moving member in the left-right direction, and the front protrusion 12a and the rear protrusion 12b are movable along the third frame 16. In this embodiment, the rear protrusion 12b constitutes a first engagement portion, and the front protrusion 12a constitutes a second engagement portion.

[0082] 7, the loading section 11A is provided with a loading section side slide plate 22. The loading section side slide plate 22 is provided so as to be movable along the ground 50.

[0083] The loading section side slide plate 22 is driven by an actuator not shown in the figure, opening the underground space 52 when the pallet 12 moves from the unloading section 11B through the underground to the loading section 11A, and closing the underground space 52 when the pallet 12 moves to the loading section 11A.

[0084] As a result, when the pallet 12 is positioned in the loading section 11A, the loading section side slide 22 is positioned below the pallet 12, and the underground space 52 is closed by the loading section side slide plate 22.

[0085] The unloading section 11B is provided with a unloading section side slide plate 23. The unloading section side slide plate 23 is provided so as to be movable along the ground 50.

[0086] The unloading section side slide plate 23 is driven by an actuator (not shown) to open the underground space 52 when the pallet 12 descends underground from the unloading section 11B, and close the underground space 52 when the pallet 12 descends underground.

[0087] As a result, when the pallet 12 descends underground from the discharge section 11B, the underground space 52 is closed by the discharge section side slide plate 23, making the underground space 52 invisible to the naked eye.

[0088] A rental authentication unit 31 is provided on the discharge unit 11B side of the main frame 13. The driver 51 authenticates whether or not the stand-type vehicle 1 can be used by, for example, bringing a mobile terminal (not shown) close to the rental authentication unit 31. When the rental authentication unit 31 authenticates that the stand-type vehicle 1 can be used, the circulating moving member is driven.

[0089] The accommodation device 10 is provided with a non-contact charging device (not shown), and when the stand-type vehicle 1 is accommodated in the accommodation section 11C, the battery of the stand-type vehicle 1 can be charged by the charging device.

[0090] In addition, even when the stand-up vehicle 1 is placed on the pallet 12, the rear wall 3 side is the rear side, and the side opposite the rear wall 3 is the front side.

[0091] Next, the operation of the storage device 10 will be described. 8 shows the movement trajectory of the pallet 12. The stand-on vehicle 1 moves together with the pallet 12.

[0092] In the loading section 11A, the front projection 12a and the rear projection 12b of the pallet 12 are engaged with the groove portion 14c of the first frame 14.

[0093] At this time, the loading section side slide plate 22 is positioned below the pallet 12, and the underground space 52 is closed by the loading section side slide plate 22.

[0094] When the driver 51 has finished driving the stand-up vehicle 1 and wishes to return the stand-up vehicle 1 to the storage device 10, the driver places the stand-up vehicle 1 on the pallet 12 located in the carry-in section 11A.

[0095] When the stand-up vehicle 1 is placed on the pallet 12, the engaging portion 12e enters an engaged state and engages with the circumferential moving member, and the circumferential moving member moves in a circular motion, with the rear protrusion 12b moving from the first frame 14 through the loading section side inclined portion 15A of the second frame 15 to the intermediate horizontal portion 15B.

[0096] When the rear projection 12b moves from the first frame 14 to the second frame 15 in accordance with the orbital movement of the orbital moving member, the front projection 12a moves along the first frame 14 toward the discharge section 11B.

[0097] As a result, the pallet 12 tilts from a horizontal position so that its rear end is positioned at the rear upper side and its front end is positioned at the front lower side. Therefore, the stand-type vehicle 1 tilts so that the upper part of the rear wall 3 is positioned at the front upper side and the lower part of the rear wall 3 is positioned at the rear lower side. In this way, the stand-type vehicle 1 is stored in the storage section 11C.

[0098] When multiple stand-type vehicles 1 are successively stored in the storage section 11C from the loading section 11A, the pallets 12, which are inclined, overlap in the front-to-back direction, and the stand-type vehicles 1 are stored in the storage section 11C lined up in an inclined state (see Figure 6).

[0099] On the other hand, when the driver 51 uses the stand-on type vehicle 1, the driver 51 brings the mobile terminal close to the rental authentication unit 31. When the rental authentication unit 31 authenticates that the stand-on type vehicle 1 is available for use, the fitting portion 12e enters a fitted state and fits into the circulating moving member, and the circulating moving member moves in a circular motion.

[0100] At this time, the rear projection 12b is moved by the circumferential moving member from the intermediate horizontal portion 15B through the unloading-part inclined portion 15C to the unloading-part frame portion 14A. In addition, in accordance with the movement of the rear projection 12b, the front projection 12a is moved along the first frame 14 toward the unloading part 11B.

[0101] As a result, the pallet 12 changes from an inclined position to a horizontal position, and the rear wall 3 stands upright in the vertical direction.

[0102] In this state, the driver 51 moves the stand-on vehicle 1 backward from the pallet 12. When the driver 51 moves the stand-on vehicle 1 backward from the pallet 12, the circumferential moving member moves in a circumferential direction, and the ejection-side slide plate 23 moves so as to open the underground space 52.

[0103] As a result, the rear projection 12b is moved by the circumferential moving member from the unloading section side frame section 14A along the fourth frame 17, the third frame 16 and the seventh frame 20 to the first frame 14 (loading section 11A).

[0104] Additionally, in accordance with the movement of the rear projection 12b, the front projection 12a moves from the first frame 14 along the sixth frame 19, the third frame 16 and the fifth frame 18 to the first frame 14 (carry-in section 11A).

[0105] As a result, the pallet 12 moves from the unloading section 11B into the underground space 52 and into the loading section 11A. In the process of the pallet 12 moving from the unloading section 11B into the underground space 52, the unloading section side slide plate 23 moves so as to close the underground space 52.

[0106] In addition, in the process of the pallet 12 moving from the underground space 52 to the loading section 11A, the loading section side slide plate 22 moves so as to open the underground space 52, thereby making it possible for the pallet 12 to move to the loading section 11A.

[0107] At the same time that the pallets 12 move from the discharge section 11B into the underground space 52, the pallet 12 closest to the discharge section 11A moves from the underground space 52 to the discharge section 11A.

[0108] When the stand-on type vehicle 1 is taken out of the storage device 10, the driver 51 can drive the stand-on type vehicle 1 by removing the operation remote control 7 from the mounting part 3g and standing on the base part 2 to operate the operation remote control 7.

[0109] As the pallet 12 moves from the storage section 11C to the unloading section 11B, the engaging section 12e of the pallet 12 located on the loading section 11A side becomes disengaged, and the pallet 12 remains stopped without moving together with the circulating member.

[0110] Meanwhile, as the pallet 12 moves from the loading section 11A to the storage section 11C, the engaging section 12e of the pallet 12 located on the unloading section 11B side becomes disengaged, and the pallet 12 remains stopped without moving together with the circulating member.

[0111] That is, the storage device 10 of this embodiment can move the pallets 12 independently on the loading section 11A side and the unloading section 11B side.

[0112] Next, the effects of the accommodation device 10 for the stand-up type vehicle 1 of this embodiment will be described. The storage device 10 for the stand-up type vehicle 1 of this embodiment supports the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 5 so as to be freely rotatable, and stores the L-shaped stand-up type vehicle 1 including the base 2 on which a driver 51 sits in an upright position, and the rear wall 3 protruding upward from the rear end of the base 2.

[0113] The storage device 10 has a storage device main body 11 extending in the longitudinal direction and storing the stand-on type vehicle 1, and a plurality of pallets 12 on which the stand-on type vehicle 1 is placed and which are integral with the stand-on type vehicle 1 and movably provided on the storage device main body 11.

[0114] The storage device main body 11 has an entrance section 11A provided at the front end in the longitudinal direction of the storage device main body 11 for loading the stand-up type vehicles 1 onto the pallet 12, an exit section 11B provided at the rear end in the longitudinal direction of the storage device main body 11 for loading the stand-up type vehicles 1 out of the pallet 12, and a storage section 11C provided between the entrance section 11A and the exit section 11B and capable of storing the stand-up type vehicles 1 in a line.

[0115] This allows the stand-type vehicles 1 to be stored side by side in the storage device 10 when not in use. This allows the stand-type vehicles 1 to be stored while being prevented from scattering, and improves the management performance of the stand-type vehicles 1.

[0116] Furthermore, by providing the carry-in section 11A at the front end of the storage device main body 11 and the carry-out section 11B at the rear end of the storage device main body 11, and separating the carry-in section 11A and the carry-out section 11B in the front-to-rear direction, it is possible to prevent interference between a user returning a stand-up type vehicle 1 to the storage device 10 and a user who wants to use the stand-up type vehicle 1. This improves the usability of the storage device 10.

[0117] According to the storage device 10 of the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the storage device main body 11 has a first frame portion on which the pallet 12 is movable.

[0118] The first frame portion changes the pallet 12 into a horizontal position (first position) in which the stand-type vehicle 1 can be loaded at the loading section 11A, an inclined position (second position) in the storage section 11C, and a horizontal position (third position) in which the stand-type vehicle 1 can be unloaded at the unloading section 11B.

[0119] This allows the L-shaped stand-type vehicle 1 to be stored in the storage section 11C while being tilted in the front-rear direction, thereby increasing the number of stand-type vehicles 1 that can be stored.

[0120] In other words, when the stand-type vehicle 1 is accommodated in the storage section 11C with the base parts 2 of the stand-type vehicle 1 extending parallel to the front-rear direction and the rear wall 3 extending in the up-down direction, the stand-type vehicle 1 is accommodated in the storage section 11C with the base parts 2 aligned in the front-rear direction. For this reason, it is difficult to accommodate many stand-type vehicles 1 in the storage section 11C.

[0121] In contrast, when the stand-up vehicle 1 is stored in an inclined position in the storage section 11C, the base section 2 is inclined so that the rear end portion of the base section 2 is positioned upward and the front end portion of the base section 2 is positioned lower than the rear end portion.

[0122] Therefore, when the storage device 10 is viewed from the right, the stand-type vehicles 1 are stored in the storage section 11C in a dogleg-like arrangement. As a result, many stand-type vehicles 1 can be stored in the storage section 11C.

[0123] In addition, when the stand-up type vehicle 1 is stored in the storage section 11C, the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 can be directed upward, and the front portion 3a with which the driver 51 comes into contact can be directed downward.

[0124] As a result, when the storage device 10 is installed outdoors, rain, snow, etc. can be directed against the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3, and the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 can be prevented from being exposed to rain or snow. As a result, the stand-on type vehicle 1 can be used in a clean state.

[0125] In addition, according to the storage device 10 of the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the pallet 12 has a front protrusion 12a that protrudes laterally (left-right direction) from the pallet 12, and a rear protrusion 12b that is spaced apart from the front protrusion 12a in the fore-and-aft direction and protrudes laterally (left-right direction) from the pallet 12.

[0126] The first frame portion includes a first frame 14 extending linearly from the loading section 11A toward the unloading section 11B, and a second frame 15 connected to the first frame 14.

[0127] The second frame 15 has an entrance-side inclined portion 15A connected to the first frame 14 and extending diagonally upward and rearward from the first frame 14 toward the unloading section 11B, an intermediate horizontal portion 15B extending parallel to the first frame 14 from the entrance-side inclined portion 15A toward the unloading section 11B, and an unloading-side inclined portion 15C extending diagonally downward and rearward from the intermediate horizontal portion 15B toward the unloading section 11B and connected to the first frame 14.

[0128] The front protrusion 12a engages with the first frame 14 and is freely movable along the first frame 14, and the rear protrusion 12b engages with the second frame 15 and is freely movable along the second frame 15.

[0129] The storage section 11C is composed of the intermediate horizontal section 15B and the first frame .

[0130] As a result, by moving the front protrusion 12a and the rear protrusion 12b along the first frame 14 and the second frame 15, the pallet 12, which is in a horizontal position at the loading section 11A, can be changed to an inclined position at the storage section 11C, and then changed to a horizontal position at the unloading section 11B.

[0131] Therefore, the pallet 12 can be smoothly moved from the unloading section 11B to the loading section 11A.

[0132] Furthermore, according to the storage device 10 for the stand-type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the storage device main body 11 has a second frame portion, which is located below the first frame 14 and guides the empty pallet 12 after the stand-type vehicle 1 has been transported out at the discharge section 11B from the discharge section 11B to the load section 11A.

[0133] This prevents the pallets 12 from accumulating at the discharge section 11B, and allows the pallets 12 to circulate between the carry-in section 11A and the carry-out section 11B. This allows the rental and return of the stand-up vehicles 1 to be carried out continuously, and the utilization performance of the storage device 10 can be improved more effectively.

[0134] Furthermore, according to the storage device 10 for the stand-up vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the second frame portion has a third frame 16 that is provided below the first frame 14 and extends parallel to the first frame 14, and a fourth frame 17 that connects the end of the first frame 14 on the discharge section 11B side and the end of the third frame 16 on the discharge section 11B side.

[0135] The second frame portion also has a fifth frame 18 connecting the end of the first frame 14 facing the loading section 11A side and the end of the third frame 16 facing the loading section 11A side, a sixth frame 19 connecting the portion of the first frame 14 facing the unloading section 11B side and the portion of the third frame 16 facing the unloading section 11B side, and a seventh frame 20 connecting the front end 15a of the loading section side inclined portion 15A and the portion of the third frame 16 facing the loading section 11A side.

[0136] The rear protrusion 12b is capable of moving freely around the second frame 15, the first frame 14, the fourth frame 17, the third frame 16, the seventh frame 20 and the second frame 15 in that order, while the front protrusion 12a is capable of moving freely around the first frame 14, the sixth frame 19, the third frame 16, the fifth frame 18 and the first frame 14 in that order.

[0137] This allows the empty pallet 12 after the stand-up vehicle 1 has been carried out at the carry-out section 11B to be smoothly guided from the carry-out section 11B to the carry-in section 11A.

[0138] Furthermore, according to the storage device 10 for the stand-type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the pallet 12 has a bottom plate 12A on which the stand-type vehicle 1 is placed by contacting the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 5, and a front protruding portion 12D that protrudes upward from the front end portion (the end portion on the loading section side) of the bottom plate 12A when the bottom plate 12A is in a horizontal state and extends in the short direction (left-right direction) of the storage device main body 11.

[0139] As a result, when the front part of the bottom plate 12A of the pallet 12 is positioned lower than the rear part in the storage section 11C, the front wheels 4 can be supported by the front protrusion portion 12D, thereby preventing the stand-on vehicle 1 from falling off the base portion 2.

[0140] In addition, since the upper end of the front protrusion 12D is located higher than the upper end of the rear protrusion 12E, the front wheels 4 can be brought into contact with a wide area of ​​the front protrusion 12D even when the bottom plate 12A is tilted obliquely downward toward the front. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the stand-on vehicle 1 from falling off the pallet 12.

[0141] In addition, according to the storage device 10 of the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment, when the bottom plate 12A is in a horizontal state, the bottom plate 12A has a rear protrusion 12E that protrudes upward from the rear end portion (the end portion on the discharge section side) of the bottom plate 12A and extends in the short direction (left-right direction) of the storage device main body 11.

[0142] As a result, when the stand-on vehicle 1 is stored, when the pallet 12 moves from the loading section 11A to the storage section 11C, the rear wheels 5 are brought into contact with the rear protruding parts 12E, thereby preventing the stand-on vehicle 1 from jumping out rearward with force from the pallet 12.

[0143] In addition, when the stand-on vehicle 1 is rented out, by bringing the rear wheels 5 into contact with the rear protruding parts 12E when the pallet 12 moves from the storage section 11C to the discharge section 11B, the stand-on vehicle 1 can be prevented from jumping out rearward from the pallet 12 with force.

[0144] Moreover, according to the storage device 10 for the stand-on type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the stand-on type vehicle 1 has an operation remote control 7 operated by the driver 51, and can be driven by the operation remote control 7, and the operation remote control 7 is installed on the rear wall 3.

[0145] According to the storage device 10 of this embodiment, when the pallet 12 is tilted to store the stand-type vehicles 1 in the storage section 11C, the stand-type vehicles 1 can be arranged close to each other, so that the operation remote control 7 cannot be reached between the stand-type vehicles 1. This makes it possible to prevent the operation remote control 7 from being stolen from the stand-type vehicles 1.

[0146] In addition, since the operation remote control 7 is attached to the front part 3a of the rear wall 3 of the stand-on vehicle 1, when the stand-on vehicle 1 is stored in the storage section 11C with the rear part 3b of the rear wall 3 facing upward and the front part 3a facing downward, the operation remote control 7 can be covered from above by the rear wall 3.

[0147] Therefore, when the storage device 10 is installed outdoors, rain, snow, etc. can come into contact with the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3, and the operation remote control 7 can be protected from the rain and snow.

[0148] Although an embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications and equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the following claims.
