[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the present invention discloses a smart parking space detection and guidance system, comprising a wiring conduit 1 disposed above the driving lane of the parking lot and distributed along the driving lane. Multiple housings 2 are disposed along one side of the wiring conduit 1. Multiple connecting pipes 5 are installed between the housings 2 and the wiring conduit 1. Multiple positioning ports 7 are provided on the top surface of each housing 2. A fixing bracket 12 is inserted into each positioning port 7. An LED light strip 13 is installed on the side of the fixing bracket 12 located inside the housing 2. An installation port 11 communicating with the inner cavity of each housing 2 is provided in the middle of each housing 2. An installation shell 3 is provided in each installation port 11. Both sides of the installation shell 3 are inclined shells protruding towards the parking space. Sensors are installed in each inclined shell.

[0021] In this embodiment, a relay 14 is installed inside the housing 2 at one end of the LED light strip 13. One end of the relay 14 is recessed to form multiple wiring slots. A wiring block 15 is installed on both the positive and negative ends of the LED light strip 13. The wiring block 15 is inserted into the wiring slot and is connected to the relay 14. The other end of the relay 14 is equipped with a wire. The other end of the wire passes through the connecting pipe 5 and extends into the wiring pipe 1, and is connected in series with a microcontroller. The sensors are also electrically connected to the microcontroller.

[0022] In this embodiment, the top surface of the housing 2 is recessed on both the left and right sides at the mounting opening 11 to form a first positioning groove 9. The two sides of the mounting housing 3 are provided with a second positioning groove 10. A U-shaped plate 6 for fixing the mounting housing 3 to the housing 2 is inserted into both the first positioning groove 9 and the second positioning groove 10. The top surface of the U-shaped plate 6 is provided with positioning holes. The top surface of the housing 2 is provided with a top plate 4 by bolts. The positioning ports 7 are all covered and sealed by the top plate 4. The end of the fixing bracket 12 away from the LED light strip 13 is installed on the inner side of the top plate 4. The inner side of the top plate 4 is provided with positioning pins 8 opposite to the positioning holes. The positioning pins 8 are all inserted into the positioning holes. After the top plate is removed, the U-shaped plate can be taken out from the first and second positioning slots. After the positioning plate is no longer obstructed, the mounting shell can be taken out from the mounting opening, which facilitates its disassembly. After the top plate is taken out upwards, the fixing bracket can be taken out along the positioning opening and bring out the LED light strip. As the LED light strip moves, the wiring block can be disengaged from the wiring slot, thereby quickly completing the disconnection between the cables.

[0023] In this embodiment, the width of the positioning port 7 matches the width of the fixing frame 12, the length of the positioning port 7 matches the length of the fixing frame 12, and the LED light strip 13 installed on the fixing frame 12 is suspended inside the housing 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the housing 2 is made of transparent plastic material. The light generated by the LED light strip can pass through the housing and illuminate the outside world, and combine with each other to form guide lines.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting shell 3 is made of infrared-transparent acrylic material; the sensors are all infrared sensors, which allows the infrared rays of the infrared sensors to pass smoothly through the infrared-transparent acrylic material to detect the external parking spaces.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top surface of the U-shaped plate 6 is flush with the top surface of the housing 2, so that the inner side of the top plate can press against the U-shaped plate and fit against the top surface of the housing. The positioning pin on the top plate can be inserted into the positioning hole to position the U-shaped plate.

[0027] System design concept: Triggering phase: The barrier gate detects vehicles entering the site and activates the guidance system; During the detection phase: All parking space sensors report their status (occupied / idle) in real time. Path calculation: The main control microcontroller (such as ESP32) calculates the optimal path from the entrance to the target parking space based on the location of the available parking spaces; Dynamic lighting: LED light strips are lit up one by one along the path to form a continuous guide line; if a parking space is occupied (triggered by a sensor), the corresponding light segment is immediately turned off and the path is recalculated to ensure that the following car can park in the space again. Vehicles can quickly drive to the corresponding empty parking space by following the guide lines and park, greatly reducing the time spent searching and detouring, reducing the time wasted, increasing parking efficiency, and reducing the probability of traffic jams.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
