Claims (5)

A smart station for storing and charging multiple bicycles; A server unit that stores data on the storage and charging status of the bicycle at the smart station; and A user terminal that receives data from the server unit and checks the storage and charging status of the bicycle; is included. A bicycle mounting unit located at the smart station comprises a bicycle front wheel mounting unit for fixing the front wheel of the bicycle, a bicycle rear wheel mounting unit for fixing the rear wheel of the bicycle, a bicycle front wheel mounting height control unit for controlling the mounting height of the front wheel of the bicycle, and a bicycle rear wheel mounting height control unit for controlling the mounting height of the rear wheel of the bicycle. At the bicycle entrance, the height of the bicycle front wheel mounting section is positioned lower than the height of the bicycle rear wheel mounting section by the bicycle front wheel mounting height control section, and at the bicycle exit, the height of the bicycle rear wheel mounting section is positioned lower than the height of the bicycle front wheel mounting section by the bicycle rear wheel mounting height control section. A smart station system for a bicycle in which the gap between the first and second partitions of the bicycle front wheel mounting portion is formed to narrow as the bicycle tire is inserted into the bicycle front wheel mounting portion.
In claim 1 The smart station described above is a smart station system for bicycles comprising: a bicycle storage section having an internal space for storing multiple bicycles; a bicycle entrance section formed on one side of the bicycle storage section and opening and closing to allow bicycles to enter; a bicycle exit section formed on one side of the bicycle storage section and opening and closing to allow bicycles to exit; a conveyor belt section installed on the bottom surface of the bicycle storage section to allow multiple bicycles to move laterally; a bicycle rack section located above the conveyor belt section and securing the bicycles to the conveyor belt section; a solar panel section located above the bicycle storage section for charging electricity to the bicycles; an authentication section for performing authentication to use the bicycles in the bicycle storage section; a display section for checking the storage and charging status of the bicycles; and a bicycle parking electronic display board section that displays the number of bicycles in the bicycle storage section as a number.
In claim 2 If the direction parallel to one surface of the bicycle storage unit is defined as the x-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to one surface of the bicycle storage unit as the y-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the ground as the z-axis direction, the bicycle enters in the y-axis direction such that the front tire enters the bicycle entrance before the rear tire, the bicycles are positioned at regular intervals on the upper part of the conveyor belt section, and the conveyor belt section moves in the x-axis direction to move the bicycles sideways, a smart station system for bicycles.
delete
In claim 1 The above bicycle mounting unit includes a seating groove that forms a groove on the bottom surface for the bicycle wheel to be seated, a pressure rod that is inserted into a first partition wall of the bicycle mounting unit to press the first side of the bicycle tire, and a support rod that is inserted into a second partition wall of the bicycle mounting unit to support the second side of the bicycle tire facing the first side. A smart station system for a bicycle that calculates the air pressure of the bicycle tire based on the travel distance of the tip of the pressure rod measured by applying pressure to the first side.

Description

Smart Station System for Bicycle and Method of Using the Same The present invention relates to a smart station system for bicycles and a method of using the same, and more specifically, to a smart station system for bicycles that stores, charges, and rents mobility devices such as electric scooters or electric bicycles, and a method of using the same. In general, means of transportation including bicycles and kickboards are widely used as exercise equipment for lifestyle sports, as well as being very beneficial for short-distance transportation in urban areas. Since it is effective in reducing traffic congestion and preventing pollution, developed countries are actively promoting the use of means of transportation, including bicycles and kick scooters, and creating dedicated lanes for these means in urban areas, thereby contributing greatly to environmental protection, the alleviation of traffic congestion, and public health. Recently, various measures to promote the use of means of transportation, including bicycles and kick scooters, have been considered in Korea, and there has been a demand for rental stations for means of transportation that include bicycles and kick scooters. Traditionally, shared smart mobility introduced by local governments or government agencies, such as electric scooters or electric bicycles, involves the cumbersome task of the responsible agency deploying the product, collecting it when the battery runs out to recharge it, and then returning it. In addition, since helmets must be worn for safety when using such smart mobility devices, they should be provided; however, obtaining helmets is difficult, and there are issues with loss. Therefore, research and development are needed for technologies that can make storage, charging, and rental of smart mobility devices more convenient.
