Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of shared bicycles, in particular to shared bicycle garage equipment, an access method and an operation management method.

Background

The public bicycle system is used as a component of urban public transportation, bears extremely important transportation tasks, provides bicycle leasing service capable of returning bicycles in different places for citizens, solves the problem of 'last kilometer' of public transportation, and effectively improves the overall service level of urban public transportation. The concept of public bicycles originally originated in europe in 1965 (also known as 1967), and an governmental organization in armsterdam, the netherlands, which placed some bicycles painted white and not locked in public areas, is expected to be used for a long time and free, and is called "white bicycle program". Contrary to the initiatives of the advocate, all bicycles were lost or destroyed within a few days, and the program failed completely. However, this attempt is generally considered the origin of the historically earliest public bicycle system. Later, Copenhagen, Lyon, Paris, United states, etc., and Hangzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Wuxi, etc., in China, were also put public bicycle systems into service in succession.

In china, the public bicycle market has undergone three stages of development: in 2007-2010, the first stage is that a public bicycle mode arising abroad is introduced into China, and the government leads to city management, and most of the public bicycles have piles; in the second stage of 2010-2014, enterprises specially operating bicycle markets begin to appear, but public bicycles mainly have single piled bicycles. As a third stage in 2014, with the rapid development of mobile internet, an internet sharing bicycle with a worship as a first stage is produced, and a more convenient pile-free bicycle is started to replace a pile-containing bicycle.

Although the non-pile bicycle brings convenience to citizens compared with the pile bicycle, the bicycle is convenient to borrow and return, and particularly the bicycle is locked anywhere, the crooked wind caused by illegal parking of the citizens is facilitated, the traffic of sidewalks, motor vehicle entrances and exits, building entrances and exits and the like of a plurality of cities is greatly influenced, and the appearance of the city is seriously influenced; some places even have occupations of occupations or malicious vandalism. In addition, whether the single vehicle with the pile or the single vehicle without the pile has the problem of large occupied area, and traffic jam is caused. In order to solve these problems, some stereo garages for parking shared bicycles have appeared in the prior art, such as an intelligent stereo parking device for shared bicycles disclosed in chinese patent publication No. CN107060403A, an intelligent stereo garage for shared bicycle storage disclosed in chinese patent publication No. CN106968474A, and a novel public stereo bicycle garage system disclosed in chinese patent publication No. CN105545029A, but these stereo garages have complex general structures and high risk coefficients.

In order to solve the technical problems, the applicant has previously submitted to the national intellectual property office a chinese patent application with publication number CN108678448A entitled a shared single-vehicle operation management method and parking equipment thereof, which is implemented by parking equipment arranged in a foundation pit, and solves the technical defects of wide single-vehicle parking floor occupation, inconvenience of parking with piles and confusion of parking without piles.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of this, the present invention provides a shared single garage apparatus, a parking and taking method and an operation management method to overcome at least one of the above disadvantages of the prior art, so as to effectively solve the contradiction between inconvenience of returning vehicles with piles and confusion of parking without piles, and greatly reduce the construction difficulty.

In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present invention provides a shared bicycle garage apparatus for lifting and lowering a plurality of bicycles, comprising

The supporting arm is used for supporting the bicycle in the lifting process;

a mobile platform for translating a bicycle to insert or extract the trailing arm in place from a bicycle body;

the lifting mechanism drives the supporting arm to ascend or descend; and

the main part supports, elevating system installs in the main part supports.

According to the invention, through the mutual cooperation between the liftable supporting arm and the movable platform capable of translating, a single vehicle parked on the movable platform can be parked into the shared single garage from bottom to top along the L-shaped motion track, or the single vehicle supported in the air by the supporting arm can be moved out of the shared single garage from top to bottom along the L-shaped motion track, so that the shared single vehicle can be parked to a high place conveniently and orderly, the longitudinal space is better utilized, and the floor area of the shared single garage is reduced. The shared bicycle garage provided by the invention has the advantages of small occupied area, simple structure and low construction cost, the density of access points of the shared bicycle can be increased, the distance between the two access points is reduced, the convenience of the operation management method of the shared bicycle garage in the link of returning the shared bicycle is close to that of the pile-free bicycle, in addition, the inherent attribute of the pile-free bicycle without a fixed returning point determines that a consumer can not always get the shared bicycle in a short distance when getting the bicycle, and therefore, the operation management method of the shared bicycle garage is better than the pile-free bicycle in the link of borrowing the bicycle, and convenience is brought to the consumer. The supporting arm is in transmission connection with the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is arranged in the main body support, namely, except the moving platform, the members forming the shared single garage, especially the members with motion relation, are basically arranged in the main body support, and potential damage to passing pedestrians and vehicles can be avoided.

In the invention, the supporting arm is used for supporting the bicycle in the lifting process, so that the bicycle can be orderly towered into the air. Compared with the traditional scheme of parking the bicycle by adopting the layered platforms, the invention creatively provides the scheme of adopting the supporting arm to lift and support the bicycle, has the characteristics of simple structure and small occupied space, and in order to ensure that the bicycle can be stably supported by the supporting arm, the supporting arm comprises

The A-shaped arm is provided with a clamping position for supporting a bicycle frame; and/or

The bicycle comprises a B-shaped arm, wherein a clamping block is arranged on the B-shaped arm, and a hook matched with the clamping block is arranged on the bicycle.

As is well known, a bicycle generally has a main body structure including a frame, a front wheel connected to a front lower side of the frame, a rear wheel connected to a rear lower side of the frame, a pedal driving mechanism for driving the front wheel or the rear wheel connected to a middle lower side of the frame, a seat connected to a middle upper side of the frame, and a handle connected to a front upper side of the frame for controlling a direction. The bicycle frame is usually formed by a pipe or a rod, a plurality of hollow structures are arranged in the frame, and the bicycle frame is supported by inserting the support arms into the hollow structures. However, because the contact position of the frame and the bracket arm is usually point contact or line contact, potential safety hazards such as overturning and the like can exist due to the mismatching of the contact, for this reason, the invention designs the structure of the bracket arm and provides two structural design schemes: one design only designs the bracket arm structure, and a clamping position matched with the frame is arranged on the bracket arm to limit the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the frame and the bracket arm, thereby effectively preventing side turning; the other design is respectively carried out on the bracket arm and the bicycle, the hook is assembled on the bicycle, and the bracket arm is provided with the clamping block matched with the hook, so that the effect of limiting the relative rotational freedom degree between the frame and the bracket arm can be achieved; preferably, the hook may be configured as a cover structure or a ring structure of various shapes, such as a square cover, a square ring, a round cover, a round ring, etc., which not only prevents the bicycle from rolling over, but also limits the freedom of the bicycle to move forward and backward relative to the bracket.

In order to stably support the single vehicle, two support arms are preferably adopted for each single vehicle, in this case, a manufacturer or a purchaser can select a scheme of configuring an "a-type arm + a-type arm", "B-type arm + B-type arm" or an "a-type arm + B-type arm" for each single vehicle according to needs, and a scheme of "a-type arm + B-type arm" is preferably adopted based on the consideration of support stability and the cost of vehicle modification.

The mutual matching of the supporting arm and the mobile platform not only provides the possibility of conveying a single vehicle to the high altitude and stably parking the single vehicle in the air, but also opens up a space for parking a plurality of single vehicles at the same height by the scheme that the supporting arm is in place to wait for the mobile platform to penetrate the single vehicle, and therefore, a plurality of clamping positions distributed along the arm length in an array mode are arranged on the A-shaped arm; or a plurality of clamping blocks distributed along the arm length in an array mode are arranged on the B-shaped arm. Each clamping position or each clamping block on the same supporting arm can correspondingly support a single vehicle, so that the number of the stored vehicles in the shared single garage is increased by times, and the number of the clamping positions or the clamping blocks of each supporting arm is not too large, preferably 1-3, in consideration of the stress condition of the supporting arm and the lifting mechanism and the overall structure and the occupied area of the shared single garage.

In the invention, the lifting mechanism can be driven by a motor, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder and the like. When the lifting mechanism is driven by a rotary driving mechanism such as a motor, the lifting transmission member may be configured as a ball screw for converting rotary motion into linear motion, or may be configured as a transmission mechanism such as a chain transmission mechanism or a belt transmission mechanism capable of linearly lifting the bracket arm or even lifting the J/U-shaped track, and for such a transmission mechanism, the invention is referred to as a J/U-rail transmission mechanism.

When the lifting mechanism adopts the J/U rail transmission mechanism, the plurality of support arms can be distributed on the J/U-shaped structure of the lifting mechanism at intervals, which has practical significance for ensuring that proper distance is kept between the bicycles lifted by the support arms without accurate calculation and control on the lifting of the support arms. However, in this case, if the supporting arm is set to be a one-way foldable structure, the supporting arm is in an unfolded state in one side of the lifting mechanism to support the bicycle, and in a folded state in the other side of the lifting mechanism, the contradiction between static control of the bicycle spacing and maintenance of a small floor area can be easily solved.

In order to improve the smoothness of switching the support arm between the unfolding state and the folding state, the support arm is automatically switched from the unfolding state to the folding state in the process of moving from one side of the J/U rail transmission mechanism to the other side, and is automatically switched from the folding state to the unfolding state in the process of moving from the other side of the J/U rail transmission mechanism to one side. Specifically, the trailing arm is connected to the J/U rail transmission mechanism in an articulated manner, and meanwhile, the upper side or the lower side of the trailing arm is provided with a barrier to limit the trailing arm to have only 90-degree rotational freedom, so that the barrier is located on the lower side of the trailing arm on one side of the J/U rail transmission mechanism, the trailing arm cannot rotate downwards due to the barrier and is in an unfolded state to support a bicycle, when the trailing arm moves to the other side of the J/U rail transmission mechanism under the driving of the J/U rail transmission mechanism, the relative position between the trailing arm and the barrier is adjusted, the barrier is located on the upper side of the trailing arm, the trailing arm cannot be prevented from rotating downwards due to the self gravity effect, and the trailing arm is in a folded state at the moment.

In order to ensure that the supporting arm can smoothly penetrate into the bicycle body in the process of the moving platform carrying the bicycle to the supporting arm which is in place to translate, or can smoothly pull out the bicycle body from the supporting arm in the process of the moving platform carrying the bicycle to translate and leave the garage, the moving platform is provided with a limiting mechanism at least used for righting the bicycle. Besides, the limiting mechanism can be configured to be a vehicle locking mechanism with an anti-theft function at the same time, or a vehicle locking mechanism with an anti-theft function is additionally arranged on the mobile platform.

In order to conveniently control the translation stroke of the mobile platform, a sensor used for sensing the positioning of the mobile platform is arranged in the shared single garage, so that the mobile platform is ensured to translate in place. In addition, a travel switch for controlling the lifting amplitude of the supporting arm is arranged in the shared single garage, so that the supporting arm can be positioned to a height capable of being inserted into or pulled out of a bicycle body.

The second aspect of the invention provides a shared bicycle access method, which comprises the following steps:

parking: the bicycle is translated until the supporting arm in position is inserted into the bicycle body, or the supporting arm supports the bicycle to ascend;

taking the vehicle: or the supporting arm firstly supports the bicycle to descend until the supporting arm is in position, and the bicycle is translated to pull the supporting arm away from the bicycle body.

The invention can make the bicycle on the ground stop in the air from bottom to top along the L-shaped movement track or make the bicycle supported in the air by the supporting arm fall to the ground and move out of the projection area of the bicycle on the ground along the L-shaped movement track through the mutual cooperation of the relative translation of the bicycle and the supporting arm and the common lifting of the bicycle and the supporting arm, so that the shared bicycle can be conveniently and orderly parked to the high place, the longitudinal space can be better utilized, and the floor area of the shared bicycle can be reduced. The shared bicycle storing and taking method provided by the invention is simple and convenient, is low in implementation difficulty, makes it possible to increase the density of access points of the shared bicycle, and reduces the distance between the two access points, so that the convenience of the shared bicycle management in the link of returning the shared bicycle is close to that of a non-pile bicycle.

When a bicycle is parked, the bicycle is kept standing by the aid of supporting legs hinged to a frame, the bicycle keeps a 'standing posture' when the supporting legs are symmetrically hinged to the left side and the right side of the frame, but the bicycle takes a 'slight posture' when the supporting legs are hinged to one of the left side and the right side of the frame, and at the moment, a certain degree of obstacle can be formed for inserting or pulling out a supporting arm, particularly under the condition that the supporting arm needs to be inserted into or pulled out from a plurality of parallelly-arranged bicycle bodies, and therefore in the bicycle storage step, the bicycle is limited until the supporting arm supports the bicycle before the supporting arm is inserted into the bicycle bodies; in order to improve the smoothness of the bracket arm after being inserted into the bicycle body, the bracket arm can be positioned at a height which can be inserted into the bicycle body but can not touch the bicycle, so that the bracket arm can be lifted slightly to support the bicycle before the limit is relieved. In the step of taking the bicycle, the supporting arm supports the bicycle to descend to the fixed position of the bicycle, the bicycle is limited firstly, and then descends in a small range continuously until the supporting arm is in position, so that the supporting arm can be pulled away from the bicycle body in a zero-contact mode.

In the invention, the single vehicle parked in the shared single garage is hung on the supporting arm, in order to prevent the single vehicle hung in the air through the supporting arm from falling off from the supporting arm when the garage equipment is accidentally collided, in the step of parking, the supporting arm locks the single vehicle in the garage through a mechanism in the single garage or a lock of the vehicle; and/or in the step of taking the bicycle, the bicycle is unlocked through the mechanism in the bicycle garage or the lock of the bicycle after the bicycle falls.

Based on the shared single garage equipment provided by the first aspect of the invention or the shared single garage applying the access method provided by the second aspect of the invention and the central management system in communication connection with the shared single garage, a user accesses a bicycle by establishing connection with the central management system, the user takes the bicycle from a mobile platform with the bicycle to be translated out of the garage during the vehicle taking process, and the user stores the bicycle in the mobile platform without the bicycle to be translated out of the garage during the vehicle storing process.

Firstly, the shared single garage and the shared single vehicle storage method provided by the invention adopt the supporting arms with simple structures to finish the task of parking the single vehicle to a high place, and a plurality of parking plates with relatively large volume and more material consumption are not needed to bear the single vehicle which is suspended in the air, so that the space utilization rate can be provided, and the construction difficulty can be reduced; secondly, the invention adopts the mode of translating the bicycle to be matched with the bracket arm, so that the automatic access of the shared bicycle becomes possible, and a foundation is laid for realizing automatic unmanned operation management; finally, when the user is storing and taking the bicycle, the mobile platform waits outside the garage, the user only needs to interact with the mobile platform, the operation is simple and convenient, more importantly, other components of the shared bicycle can be enclosed in the garage and completely isolated from the outside, and potential safety hazards are avoided. In addition, the shared bicycle garage has the advantages of simple structure, small occupied area and low construction cost, so that the density of access points of the shared bicycle can be increased, the distance between the two access points is reduced, the convenience of the operation management method in the link of returning the shared bicycle is close to that of a non-pile bicycle, and in addition, the inherent property of the non-pile bicycle without a fixed returning point determines that a consumer can not always get the shared bicycle in a short distance when getting the shared bicycle, so the operation management method is superior to the non-pile bicycle in the link of borrowing the shared bicycle, and convenience is brought to the consumer.

The shared bicycle operation management method specifically comprises the following two schemes.

In the first scheme, when a user accesses a vehicle, data connection is required to be established between the user and a central management system, and the central management system judges whether the user stores the vehicle or takes the vehicle, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

s1, a manager stops the shared bicycle from bottom to top in the warehouse in sequence by means of a supporting arm;

s2, the user establishes data connection with a central management system through the mobile device, and the central management system identifies the user identity and judges the vehicle access behavior of the user;

s3, the central management system detects that the shared bicycle is not left by the user and sends a bicycle taking instruction to the shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls the mobile platform which stops the shared bicycle to take the bicycle to move out of the shared bicycle garage, the user takes the shared bicycle from the mobile platform, and meanwhile the central management system starts timing or charging; or

The central management system detects shared bicycles left by the user and sends parking instructions to the shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls the mobile platform with vacant spaces to translate out of the shared bicycle garage in a no-load mode, the user stores the shared bicycles in the mobile platform, and the central management system stops timing or charging and settles accounts.

According to the second scheme, a user needs to establish data connection with a central management system when taking a vehicle, only a shared bicycle needs to be stored in a shared bicycle garage when parking the vehicle, and the central management system can automatically identify the shared bicycle and settle accounts, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

s1, a manager stops the shared bicycle from bottom to top in the warehouse in sequence by means of a supporting arm;

s2, a user establishes data connection with a central management system through mobile equipment, the central management system identifies the identity of the user and sends a vehicle taking instruction to a shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls a mobile platform with a stopped shared bicycle to take the bicycle to move out of the shared bicycle garage, the user takes the shared bicycle from the mobile platform, and the central management system binds the shared bicycle with the identity of the user and starts timing or charging;

and S3, storing the shared bicycle into the mobile platform after the user arrives at the destination, identifying the shared bicycle by the central management system, stopping timing or charging and settling accounts, and unbinding the shared bicycle from the user identity.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:

firstly, the shared single garage and the shared single vehicle storage method provided by the invention adopt the supporting arms with a simplified structure to finish the task of parking the single vehicle to a high place, a plurality of parking plates with relatively large volume and more material consumption are not needed to bear the single vehicle which is suspended in the air, the space utilization rate can be provided, and the construction difficulty can be reduced.

And secondly, the invention adopts a mode of translating the bicycle to be matched with the supporting arm, so that the automatic access of the shared bicycle becomes possible, and a foundation is laid for realizing automatic unmanned operation management.

Moreover, the user is when the access bicycle, and moving platform waits outside the storehouse, and the user only need carry out the interdynamic with moving platform, and is easy and simple to handle, and more importantly other members of sharing bicycle all can be enclosed in the storehouse, keep apart completely with the outside, stop the potential safety hazard.

Finally, the shared bicycle garage is simple in structure, small in occupied area and low in construction cost, so that the density of access points of the shared bicycles can be increased, the distance between the two access points is reduced, the convenience of the operation management method in the link of returning the shared bicycles is close to that of the non-pile bicycles, in addition, the inherent property of the non-pile bicycles without fixed returning points determines that a consumer cannot always get the shared bicycles in a short distance when getting the shared bicycles, and therefore the operation management method is superior to the non-pile bicycles in the link of borrowing the bicycles and brings convenience to the consumer.

As shown in fig. 6, the bracket arm 100 is connected to the chains 330 on the left and right sides through a mounting plate 101, the chains 330 are connected to a plurality of mounting plates 101 arranged at intervals, the back of each mounting plate 101 is fixedly connected with the chain 330, and the front is connected with a group of bracket arms 100; the right bracket arm 100 is an A-shaped arm 110, a clamping position 111 for supporting the frame of the bicycle 500 is arranged on the bracket arm, and the freedom degree of relative rotation between the frame and the bracket arm 100 can be limited, so that the side turning is effectively prevented; the left bracket arm 100 is a B-shaped arm 120, a latch 121 is disposed thereon, as shown in fig. 7, a hook 510 engaged with the latch 121 is disposed on the bicycle 500, and also can play a role of limiting the degree of freedom of relative rotation between the bicycle frame and the bracket arm 100, the hook 510 is designed to be a square cover structure, which can not only prevent the bicycle from rolling over, but also limit the degree of freedom of the bicycle 500 moving back and forth relative to the bracket arm 100, in addition, the hook 510 can be configured to be a cover structure or a ring structure with various shapes, such as a round cover, a square ring, a circular ring, etc. In the present embodiment, in order to stably support the bicycle 500, two support arms 100 are provided for each bicycle 500 in the case of using the "a-type arm 110+ B-type arm 120", and in addition, a configuration of "a-type arm 110+ a-type arm 110" or "B-type arm 120+ B-type arm 120" may be used.

It can be understood that the cooperation between the supporting arm 100 and the mobile platform 200 not only provides a possibility of transporting the single vehicle 500 to the high altitude and stably parking the single vehicle 500 in the air, but also the solution that the supporting arm 100 is in place to wait for the mobile platform 200 to penetrate the single vehicle 500 also opens up a space for parking a plurality of single vehicles 500 at the same height, therefore, a plurality of clamping positions 111 distributed along the arm length array can be arranged on the a-type arm 110, and a plurality of clamping blocks 121 distributed along the arm length array can be arranged on the B-type arm 120. Each clamping position 111 or each clamping block 121 on the same support arm 100 can correspondingly support one single vehicle 500, so that the number of the stored vehicles in the shared single garage is increased by times, and certainly, considering the stress condition of the support arm 100 and the lifting mechanism 300 and the overall structure and the occupied area of the shared single garage, the number of the clamping positions 111 or the clamping blocks 121 of each support arm 100 is not too large, preferably 1-3.

In the embodiment of the lifting mechanism 300, a chain transmission mechanism is adopted, and a plurality of groups of supporting arms 100 are connected to the chain 330 at intervals through the mounting plate 101, which has practical significance for ensuring that the proper distance is kept between the bicycles 500 lifted by the supporting arms 100 without accurate calculation and control on the lifting of the supporting arms 100. However, at this time, it is necessary that some of the support arms 100 move from the front side to the rear side of the shared single garage, and when viewed from the left and right sides of the shared single garage, the support arms 100 and the chains 330 together form a non-font state, so that the width of the shared single garage is doubled, therefore, in this embodiment, the support arms 100 are arranged in a one-way foldable structure, the support arms 100 are in an unfolded state at the front side of the lifting mechanism 300 to support the single vehicle 500, and are in a folded state when wound around the rear side of the lifting mechanism 300, so that the problem of contradiction between static control of the distance between the single vehicles 500 and keeping of less occupied space can be solved easily. As shown in fig. 6, the bracket arm 100 is connected to the mounting plate 101 in a hinged manner, and the lower side of the bracket arm 100 located at the front side of the lifting mechanism 300 is provided with the obstacle 130 to limit the bracket arm 100 to have only 90 ° of rotational freedom, so that, as shown in fig. 8 to 9, at the front side of the lifting mechanism 300, the bracket arm 100 cannot rotate downwards due to the existence of the obstacle 130 and is in an unfolded state to support the bicycle 500; when the supporting arm 100 moves to the rear side of the lifting mechanism 300 under the driving of the chain 330, the relative position between the supporting arm 100 and the obstacle 130 is turned, the obstacle 130 is located on the upper side of the supporting arm 100, and the supporting arm 100 cannot be prevented from rotating downwards due to the self gravity, and at this time, the supporting arm 100 is in a folded state.

To ensure that the supporting arm 100 is in place at a height that can be inserted into or pulled out of the body of the bicycle 500, as shown in fig. 6, a travel switch for controlling the lifting amplitude of the supporting arm 100 is provided in the shared single garage.

As shown in fig. 10, the moving platform 200 is provided with a limiting mechanism 220 at least for centering the bicycle 500, so that the supporting arm 100 can smoothly penetrate into the body of the bicycle 500 when the moving platform 200 carries the bicycle 500 to move towards the supporting arm 100 which is in place, and the supporting arm 100 can smoothly pull out the body of the bicycle 500 when the moving platform 200 carries the bicycle 500 to move out of the garage. It is understood that the limiting mechanism 220 may have an anti-theft function at the same time, or a vehicle locking mechanism for preventing theft may be additionally provided on the mobile platform 200. In order to conveniently control the translation stroke of the mobile platform 200, a sensor 210 for sensing the positioning of the mobile platform 200 is arranged in the shared single garage, so that the mobile platform 200 is ensured to be translated in place.

In order to avoid potential safety hazards, the outer side of the main body support 400 is surrounded to form a shell, all mechanisms forming the shared single garage are surrounded in the garage and are completely isolated from the outside, when the bicycle 500 is stored and taken, the movable platform 200 is translated out of the garage, and a user only needs to interact with the movable platform 200, so that the operation is simple and convenient.

Example 2

A shared bicycle access method comprises the following steps:

parking: translating the bicycle until the bracket arm 100 which is in place is inserted into the bicycle body, or lifting the bicycle by the bracket arm 100, as shown in fig. 3;

taking the vehicle: or the bicycle is first lowered by the trailing arm 100 until the trailing arm 100 is in position and the bicycle is translated to withdraw the trailing arm 100 away from the bicycle body, as shown in fig. 4.

In the embodiment, the bicycles and the supporting arm 100 are translated relatively and the bicycles and the supporting arm 100 are lifted and lowered together to be matched with each other, so that the bicycles on the ground can be stopped in the air from bottom to top along the L-shaped motion track, or the bicycles supported in the air by the supporting arm 100 can fall to the ground from top to bottom along the L-shaped motion track and move out of the projection area of the bicycles on the ground, so that the shared bicycles can be conveniently and orderly parked to a high place, the longitudinal space is better utilized, the floor area of the shared bicycles is reduced, and therefore, equipment for storing the shared bicycles can be correspondingly increased, the distance between the equipment can be correspondingly reduced, and the problem of contradiction between inconvenience in returning the bicycles with piles and disorder in parking without piles is effectively solved. The shared bicycle storing and taking method is simple and convenient, low in implementation difficulty and capable of increasing the density of access points of the shared bicycle, and the distance between the two access points is reduced, so that the convenience of the shared bicycle management in the link of returning the shared bicycle is close to that of a non-pile bicycle.

When a bicycle is parked, the bicycle is usually kept standing through supporting legs hinged to a frame, when the supporting legs are symmetrically hinged to the left side and the right side of the frame, the bicycle is kept in a standing posture, but when the supporting legs are hinged to one of the left side and the right side of the frame, the bicycle is in a slight posture, at this time, a certain degree of obstacle can be formed to the insertion or the extraction of the supporting arm 100, especially under the condition that the supporting arm 100 needs to be inserted into or extracted from a plurality of bicycle bodies which are arranged in parallel, in the parking step, the bicycle is limited until the supporting arm 100 supports the bicycle before the supporting arm 100 is inserted into the bicycle bodies; to provide a smooth degree of insertion of the bracket arm 100 into the bicycle body, the bracket arm 100 can be positioned at a height that allows insertion into the bicycle body without touching the bicycle, and thus the bracket arm 100 can be lifted a small amount to support the bicycle before the restriction is released. In the step of taking the bicycle, the supporting arm 100 supports the bicycle to descend to the fixed position of the bicycle, the bicycle is limited firstly, and then descends in a small range continuously until the supporting arm 100 is in position, so that the supporting arm 100 can be pulled away from the bicycle body in a zero-contact mode.

In this embodiment, the single vehicle 500 parked in the shared single garage is hung on the supporting arm 100, and in order to prevent the single vehicle hung in the air through the supporting arm 100 from falling off from the supporting arm 100 when the garage equipment is accidentally collided, in the parking step, the supporting arm 100 locks the single vehicle 500 in the garage through a mechanism in the single garage or a lock of the vehicle; and/or in the step of taking the bicycle, the bicycle 500 is unlocked by the mechanism in the bicycle garage or the lock of the bicycle after the bicycle falls.

Example 3

Based on the shared single garage equipment provided by embodiment 1 of the invention or the shared single garage applying the access method provided by embodiment 2 of the invention and a central management system in communication connection with the shared single garage, a user accesses a vehicle by establishing connection with the central management system, the user takes the vehicle from a mobile platform 200 with the vehicle for translational transport out of the garage during vehicle taking, and the user stores the vehicle on the mobile platform 200 with the vehicle for translational transport out of the garage during vehicle storing.

Firstly, the shared single garage and the shared single vehicle storage method provided by the embodiment adopt the supporting arm 100 with a simplified structure to finish the task of parking the single vehicle to a high place, a plurality of parking plates with relatively large volume and more material consumption are not needed to bear the single vehicle which is suspended in the air, the space utilization rate can be provided, and the construction difficulty can be reduced; secondly, the embodiment adopts a mode of translating the bicycle to be matched with the bracket arm 100, so that the automatic access of the shared bicycle becomes possible, and a foundation is laid for realizing automatic unmanned operation management; finally, when the user is storing and taking the bicycle, the mobile platform 200 waits outside the garage, the user only needs to interact with the mobile platform 200, the operation is simple and convenient, more importantly, other members of the shared bicycle can be enclosed in the garage and completely isolated from the outside, and potential safety hazards are avoided. In addition, the shared bicycle garage has the advantages of simple structure, small occupied area and low construction cost, so that the density of access points of the shared bicycle can be increased, the distance between the two access points is reduced, the convenience of the operation management method in the link of returning the shared bicycle is close to that of a non-pile bicycle, and in addition, the inherent property of the non-pile bicycle without a fixed returning point determines that a consumer can not always get the shared bicycle in a short distance when getting the shared bicycle, so the operation management method is superior to the non-pile bicycle in the link of borrowing the shared bicycle, and convenience is brought to the consumer.

The shared bicycle operation management method specifically comprises the following two schemes.

In the first scheme, when a user accesses a vehicle, data connection is required to be established between the user and a central management system, and the central management system judges whether the user stores the vehicle or takes the vehicle, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

s2, the user establishes data connection with a central management system through the mobile device, and the central management system identifies the user identity and judges the vehicle access behavior of the user;

s3, the central management system detects that the shared bicycle is not left by the user and sends a bicycle taking instruction to the shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls the mobile platform 200 stopping the shared bicycle to take the bicycle to move out of the garage, the user takes the shared bicycle from the mobile platform 200, and meanwhile the central management system starts timing or charging; or

The central management system detects shared bicycles left by the user and sends parking instructions to the shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls the mobile platform 200 with vacant spaces to move out of the garage in a no-load translation mode, the user stores the shared bicycles in the mobile platform 200, and the central management system stops timing or charging and settles accounts.

According to the second scheme, a user needs to establish data connection with a central management system when taking a vehicle, only a shared bicycle needs to be stored in a shared bicycle garage when parking the vehicle, and the central management system can automatically identify the shared bicycle and settle accounts, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

s1, a manager stops the shared bicycle from bottom to top in the warehouse by means of a supporting arm 100;

s2, a user establishes data connection with a central management system through mobile equipment, the central management system identifies the identity of the user and sends a vehicle taking instruction to a shared bicycle garage, the shared bicycle garage controls a mobile platform 200 stopping a shared bicycle to take the vehicle to move out of the shared bicycle garage, the user takes the shared bicycle from the mobile platform 200, and the central management system binds the shared bicycle with the identity of the user and starts timing or charging;

and S3, storing the shared bicycle into the mobile platform 200 after the user arrives at the destination, identifying the shared bicycle by the central management system, stopping timing or charging and settling accounts, and unbinding the shared bicycle from the user identity.
