Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking lot for vehicles, which has multiple or more garages, each equipped with a mailbox, plumbing facilities, and storage space, and in which the space inside the vehicle is used as living space. [Background technology]

[0002] When fully autonomous vehicles become commercially available, humans will be freed from the task of driving. Furthermore, the driver's seat will be eliminated, allowing for more interior space. For long-distance vehicles, it would not be surprising to see the development of models with room-like interiors to make travel more comfortable, allowing people to live almost entirely within the vehicle. However, current Japanese law prohibits vehicles from being registered as addresses. Therefore, we provide parking spaces that can be registered as addresses in vehicles with room-like interiors. Currently, campervans are vehicles with room-like interiors, and quite a few people live in them. These people register their addresses at the homes of relatives or acquaintances. Currently, campervan residents are primarily travelers, and there is little benefit to paying a monthly fee for a fixed parking space. However, it is expected that many people seeking fully autonomous vehicles with room-like interiors will be employed and relatively settled in one place. While this invention envisions the practical application of fully autonomous vehicles, it can also be used in passenger cars driven by humans. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] It is difficult for people with low incomes to own both a home and a car. Currently, Japanese law does not allow vehicles to be registered as an address, so if there is a choice between a home and a car, the home will be chosen. This will lead to an unstoppable trend of people concentrating in cities with good transportation access and moving out of rural areas. This invention provides addresses and privacy for fully autonomous vehicles with room-like interior spaces. By establishing facilities of this invention throughout the country, it is possible for even people with low incomes to own a home and a car, thereby stimulating the flow of people and revitalizing the economy. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the parking lot for residential vehicles according to claim 1 is as follows: Does not involve multiple rooms Equipped with a garage, The garage is a garage for storing a vehicle in which the interior space of the vehicle is used as a living space; and a mailbox for each of said garages; In addition, a storage shed for each garage can be installed adjacent to each garage. ,and A common building connected to the garage and equipped with plumbing facilities must be provided. It is characterized by the following.

[0006] The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, in which an entrance and exit are provided so that the user can move directly from the garage to the storage shed for the garage.

[0007] The invention according to claim 3 is the invention according to claim 1, Operates a large number of residential vehicle parking lots according to claim 1 When a user moves out of the garage, the user may transfer the storage space for each garage to the garage of another residential vehicle parking lot operated by the user. This is a relocatable parking system for residential vehicles. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The present invention is configured as described above and has the effects described below. When the mechanism according to claim 1 is used, it is possible to provide facilities for living inside a vehicle. What makes it different from existing parking lots is that it is premised on the user living inside the vehicle parked in the garage. The existence of a garage prevents unauthorized parking. Garages are also necessary to ensure privacy, block out environmental noise, and provide insulation.

[0009] Each user's address can be registered as the address of the common building where restrooms and other facilities are located. Mailboxes can be installed in each garage or in the common building. This invention is different from parking lots or motels that are used by an unspecified number of people. Mailboxes are a necessary facility for users who reside long-term.

[0010] Plumbing facilities are essential for daily life, but installing them in each garage would increase costs. If rent becomes too high, there will be no benefit to having parking spaces for residential vehicles. Therefore, installing plumbing facilities in the common building will reduce costs. A tray is essential, but a kitchen or bathroom is not. It is also advisable to have a corridor connecting each garage to the common building to allow for safe movement even in wind and rain. It is also possible to appoint a manager in the common building to maintain the various facilities. A manager can be selected from among the users and given a discount on rent.

[0011] You may install storage shelves in the garage. However, a room is not required. It would be convenient to have a bedroom or other room, but this would be taxable as floor space, which would increase the fee.

[0012] As people live, their possessions increase due to consumption activities, etc. Therefore, they need a storage shed to store their goods. A parking lot for parking only for cars does not need a storage shed, but it is convenient to have a storage shed in a parking lot for residential vehicles. Therefore, it is a good idea to be able to install a storage shed for each garage.

[0013] This invention is primarily envisioned for the time when fully autonomous vehicles will be put into practical use. With fully autonomous vehicles, even if your commute takes 2-3 hours, you will be able to travel to your workplace while you sleep, have breakfast, get changed, and go to work after arriving at the company parking lot, and then go straight to your room after work, eliminating the disadvantage of long-distance commuting.

[0014] Existing vehicles can also be used. However, if a gasoline-powered vehicle is used, there is a risk of oxygen deficiency if the garage is not equipped with a ventilation fan. Also, if the living space inside the vehicle is small, there is a risk of developing economy class syndrome, so a vehicle such as a camper van is preferable.

[0015] There are inventions such as Patent Documents 6, 7, and 8 that provide storage sheds in parking lots, but these differ from the present invention in that they do not have plumbing or a mailbox, which are necessary for a base for people to live.

[0016] When the mechanism according to claim 2 is used, by providing an entrance that allows direct movement from the garage to the storage shed, it becomes possible to move goods to the storage shed without going outside. In this case, it is necessary to provide a dedicated entrance to the storage shed in the garage and align it with the entrance to the storage shed.

[0017] When the system according to claim 3 is used, the storage shed for each garage can be relocated to the garage of another residential vehicle parking lot operated by the same operating body when the user moves, eliminating the need to take the trouble of moving the contents of the storage shed when moving, and increasing the convenience of moving.

[0018] One of the benefits of using a vehicle as a living space is the ease of moving. However, if you have a lot of luggage, packing becomes a hassle and moving becomes less easy. Therefore, if you move the storage shed as well, you can save that hassle. To do this, it is necessary to establish standards for storage sheds that can be easily moved and installed, and to operate a large number of residential vehicle parking lots where such storage sheds can be installed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0019] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a part of a diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a top view showing an embodiment of the invention. [Figure 4] 1 is a part of a diagram showing an embodiment of the invention. [Figure 5] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 is a floor plan of a residential vehicle parking lot. There are five garages (2), each capable of parking a vehicle (1). Each garage (2) is equipped with a storage shed (3). Each garage (2) is connected to a common building by a corridor (6a). The common building (18) is equipped with a toilet (4), a sink (7), a laundry space (5), a management office (9), a corridor (6b), and a front door (8). The common building may have a dirt floor. A bathroom may be provided, but this may be unnecessary if there is a public bath nearby. Furthermore, if there is a coin laundry nearby, the laundry space (5) may not be necessary. If the number of toilets (4) is fewer than the number of garages (2), it is advisable to provide a system that allows residents to check the availability of the toilets (4) using a smartphone or other device.

[0021] Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the garage (2) in Figure 1. A vehicle (1) is parked in the garage (2). A storage shed (3) is installed next to the garage (2). A shutter (16) is installed inside the garage (2) to allow the vehicle (1) to enter and exit, and a sliding door (13) is installed to allow users to enter and exit the hallway (6a). A window (11) is installed on one side of the garage (2) and a clerestory window (12) on the other side to prevent direct line-of-sight contact with neighbors. The space inside the garage (2) is significantly larger than the width of the vehicle (1) to allow for the installation of a storage shelf (14). A mailbox (17) is installed next to the shutter (16), but it may also be installed in a shared building. Since this invention is primarily intended for use with electric vehicles, a vehicle charging device (15) is installed inside the garage (2). If gasoline-powered vehicles are parked there, ventilation equipment is required.

[0022] Figure 3 is a top view of Figure 1. This is an example of a case where a storage shed is rented under a separate contract from the garage. There is a garage (2a) with a storage shed (3a) installed, and a garage (2b) without a storage shed (3a). The unused storage shed (3b) is placed in a storage area (20) on the site (10). Storing the unused storage shed in the storage area (20) makes it easier to install a storage shed from another residential vehicle parking lot. The storage shed may be placed in the storage area (20) without being attached to the garage. The unused storage shed (3b) may be moved if there is no storage shed in another residential vehicle parking lot operated by the same operating parent company. This operating method allows storage sheds to be shared between residential vehicle parking lots operated by the same operating parent company, thereby reducing the number of unused storage sheds in stock when multiple residential vehicle parking lots are operated.

[0023] Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the garage (2) in Figure 1, and shows an example of allowing direct access to the storage shed (3) from the garage (2). The storage shed (3) is installed next to the garage (2). The garage (2) has a sliding door (13b) for accessing the storage shed (3), and the storage shed (3) has a sliding door (13c) for accessing the garage (2). The sliding door (13b) and the sliding door (13c) are adjacent to each other.

[0024] Figure 5 is a three-dimensional perspective view of Figure 1. A garage (2) is connected to a corridor (6b) connected to a common building (18), and a storage shed (3) is provided next to the garage (2). The vehicle (1) is preferably a vehicle such as a camper van that is comfortable to live in. [Industrial Applicability]

[0025] If the vehicle parked in the garage of this invention is a fully autonomous vehicle, even in a location where commuting time is 2 to 3 hours, it will be possible to travel to work while sleeping, arrive at the company parking lot, have breakfast, get changed, and go to work, or immediately spend time in your room after work. This will eliminate the disadvantage of long-distance commuting, and will create demand for residential areas even in places far from stations.

[0026] If this facility spread throughout Japan, it would have the advantage of making it extremely easy for people who don't need to commute to work, such as those who work remotely. For example, it would be possible to change one's place of residence depending on the season, so that people who don't like the heat could move north in the summer and those who don't like the cold could move south in the winter, reducing the energy used for air conditioning.

[0027] Normally, moving requires disposing of the residence one is currently living in, so it is not something one can do easily. Even when local governments suffering from depopulation offer various benefits and encourage people to move, not many people respond. However, with the facility of this invention, it is easy to invite people to try living there. Furthermore, even if they do not move, they can stay for just a weekend as if it were a vacation home, which can encourage the flow of people from cities to rural areas. [Explanation of symbols]
