Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid economic growth and the rapid improvement of people's lives, the number of vehicles is increasing day by day. The construction of parking lots lags behind the growth rate of vehicles. Setting up on-street parking on non-main roads with light traffic can alleviate the pressure of urban parking.

[0003] Manual charging for on-street parking management is costly, and there are disputes over manual recording of time and billing, as well as the drawbacks of leakage. On-street parking management with parking space detectors can automatically detect incoming and outgoing vehicles. Car owners can use parking apps and WeChat applets to achieve self-service parking, which reduces the labor costs of operation and management, but the parking experience of car owners is not very good. On-street parking management with video poles and high-position video management machines can automatically identify the license plate numbers of parked vehicles, and automatically deduct parking fees from the corresponding accounts based on the license plate information. Car owners have a good parking experience and the parking space surrounding rate is improved, thereby further alleviating urban traffic pressure; however, the video recognition camera continuously monitors the coming and going of vehicles in the parking space, which consumes a lot of electricity and requires the laying of power supply pipelines.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 8 , is a video recognition vehicle detector according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to be installed on a curb. The video recognition vehicle detector comprises a base 10 and an electronic component 20 installed on the base 10.

[0033] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the base 10 includes a shell 11, a back plate connected to the back of the shell 11, and a back support connecting the shell 11 and the back plate. In this embodiment, the shell 11 is roughly rectangular, and the shell 11 is a die-cast aluminum shell. The shell 11 is provided with a front side surface 111 and a bottom surface perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, the number of the front side surfaces 111 is two, and the front side surfaces 111 are located at opposite ends of the shell 11. The opposite ends of the shell 11 respectively have mounting surfaces 112, and the two mounting surfaces 112 are arranged facing each other, and the mounting surfaces 112 are inclined to the front side surfaces 111. Through holes 12 are opened on the shell 11 corresponding to each mounting surface 112, and the through holes 12 penetrate the shell 11, so that the inside of the shell 11 is connected to the outside. A docking column 13 is connected to one side of the inner surface of the shell 11 corresponding to each through hole 12.

[0034] The housing 11 has two opposite ends provided with through grooves 14, which extend along the back of the housing 11 toward the opposite ends of the housing 11. The inner surface of the housing 11 has latching members 15 and limiting members 16 arranged at intervals corresponding to the through holes 12; the limiting members 16 are located on one side of the latching members 15. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the number of the latching members 15 and the limiting members 16 are both two. An opening is provided on one side of the latching member 15, and the openings of the two latching members 15 are arranged facing each other. In the present embodiment, the limiting member 16 is arranged in an inverted T shape, and the limiting member 16 is arranged at intervals from the bottom surface of the housing 11.

[0035] The top of the housing 11 is also provided with a wire hole 17 and a through hole 18. Figure 2The housing 11 has extension parts 19 protruding from opposite ends thereof, a plurality of slots 191 being provided at the bottom of the extension part 19, and a first assembly hole 192 being provided on the extension part 19. The first assembly hole 192 can be passed through by a fastener and fixed on the curb, so that the video recognition vehicle inspection device can be installed on the curb.

[0036] Furthermore, since the video recognition vehicle detector of the present invention is installed on the curb, in order to prevent pedestrians from stepping on the video recognition vehicle detector at night, reflective stickers are respectively attached to the opposite ends of the shell 11, and the reflective stickers are located on one side of the through slot 14.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the electronic assembly 20 includes a mainboard 21, and an energy storage unit 22, a camera module 23, an ultrasonic probe 24, an antenna module 25 and a photovoltaic panel 26 respectively connected to the mainboard 21; the mainboard 21 and the energy storage unit 22 are both installed inside the housing 11, and the photovoltaic panel 26 is installed outside the housing 11. The opposite ends of the mainboard 21 are respectively embedded in the openings of the latch 15, and the energy storage unit 22 is sandwiched between the bottom surface of the housing 11 and the stopper 16. In this embodiment, the number of the camera modules 23 is two; the camera module 23 includes a camera 231, a camera bracket 232, and a lens; the camera 231 is electrically connected to the mainboard 21. The camera 231 and the camera bracket 232 are both installed in the opposite ends of the housing 11, the lenses are installed on the outside of the housing 11, the camera 231 corresponds to the through hole 12, the camera 231 is embedded in the through hole 12, and the camera bracket 232 is connected to the docking column 13, so that the camera 231 is fixed between the camera bracket 232 and the housing 11; the lenses are attached to the mounting surface 112, and the lenses cover the camera 231 to protect the camera 231 from damage. In other words, the two cameras 231 are installed in the opposite ends of the housing 11, and the lens ends of the two cameras 231 are gathered together and slightly tilted upward.

[0038] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the shell 11 is provided with a bottom surface, and the central axis of the camera 231 is inclined with the bottom surface of the shell 11 from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top, and the angle formed between the central axis of the camera 231 and the bottom surface of the shell 11 is 5 degrees to 15 degrees, and optimally, the angle formed between the central axis of the camera 231 and the bottom surface of the shell 11 is 10 degrees; the central axis of the camera 231 and the front side surface 111 of the shell 11 are inclined from the inside to the outside and from one end of the shell 11 toward the middle thereof, and the angle formed between the central axis of the camera 231 and the front side surface 111 of the shell 11 ranges from 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and optimally, the angle formed between the central axis of the camera 231 and the front side surface 111 of the shell 11 is 45 degrees. Since the video recognition vehicle inspection device of the present invention is installed on the curb, the central axis of the camera 231 is inclined to the bottom surface and the front side surface 111 of the shell 11, so that the lens ends of the two cameras 231 can be gathered together and slightly tilted upward, which is convenient for the camera 231 to shoot the characteristics of the vehicle from bottom to top. In addition, the shooting directions of the two cameras 231 are opposite, and the two vehicles in front and behind can be shot at the same time, that is, one shoots the front vehicle and the other shoots the rear vehicle.

[0039] Furthermore, a shielding portion is protruding from the top of the housing 11 corresponding to the mounting surface 112. The shielding portion is located on the top of the lens and is used to shield the lens and the camera 231 from sunlight and rain, thereby improving protection for the lens and the camera 231 and extending their service life.

[0040] The ultrasonic probe 24 is embedded in the through slot 14 and is used to detect the distance between the vehicle and the video recognition vehicle detector of the present invention. The two ultrasonic probes 24 are respectively used for detection at opposite ends, and can detect two vehicles in front and behind at the same time, that is, one detects the front vehicle and the other detects the rear vehicle.

[0041] The antenna module 25 includes an antenna bracket and an antenna (not shown) mounted on the bottom surface of the antenna bracket; the antenna is electrically connected to the mainboard 21. The antenna bracket is correspondingly covered with a through hole 18 so that the antenna is accommodated inside the housing 11. The shape of the antenna bracket matches the shape of the through hole 18.

[0042] The photovoltaic panel 26 is attached to the top of the housing 11, and the antenna bracket is located between the photovoltaic panel 26 and the housing 11. The photovoltaic panel 26 is electrically connected to the main board 21 after passing through the wire hole 17 through a wire (not shown in the figure). Specifically, a charging circuit (not shown in the figure) is provided on the main board 21, and the charging circuit is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 26 and the energy storage unit 22 respectively. After the photovoltaic panel 26 converts solar energy into electrical energy, it is input into the energy storage unit 22 through the charging circuit on the main board 21 for storage. Compared with traditional vehicle inspection devices, the video recognition vehicle inspection device of the present invention can use solar energy to supplement power, improve the endurance of the energy storage unit 22, and greatly reduce maintenance costs.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to improve the endurance of the video recognition vehicle inspection device of the present invention, the video recognition vehicle inspection device of the present invention may further include an expansion component 30 connected to the base 10. Figure 1 As shown, the expansion component 30 includes an expansion bracket 31 and an expansion photovoltaic panel 32 installed on the expansion bracket 31; the expansion photovoltaic panel 32 is used to electrically connect the main board 21. One end of the expansion bracket 31 has a plug (not shown), and the other end of the expansion bracket 31 is provided with a connection groove, and the connection groove is consistent with the shape of the slot 191. Among them, the plug matches the slot 191, and when the plug is inserted into the slot 191, the expansion bracket 31 can be connected to the expansion part 19, that is, the expansion component 30 can be connected to the base 10; similarly, the plug can also match the connection groove to achieve the connection of multiple expansion components 30. Further, the expansion component 30 has a second assembly hole at one end of the connection groove, and the second assembly hole can be used for fasteners to be fixed on the curb after passing through, so as to achieve the installation of the expansion component 30 on the curb. When the lighting in the installation environment is poor, the expansion component 30 can be installed at one or both ends of the video recognition vehicle detector, and the solar energy conversion capacity can be enhanced by increasing the area of ​​the photovoltaic panel, and the endurance of the video recognition vehicle detector can be improved to ensure the normal operation of the video recognition vehicle detector.

[0044] The above-mentioned video recognition vehicle inspection device has a simple structure and is easy to use. It has a built-in energy storage unit 22 for power supply, and a photovoltaic panel 26 is arranged on the top of the shell 11 to supplement the power with solar energy from the photovoltaic panel 26, thereby improving the endurance of the energy storage unit and reducing maintenance costs.
