Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ground locks, and particularly to a parking space lock. Background Art

[0002] A parking space lock is a mechanical device installed on the ground, which can be used to prevent others from occupying the parking space or restricting the vehicle from leaving the parking space.

[0003] Generally, a parking space lock includes a blocking member, a detection probe and a driving assembly. The driving assembly is connected to the blocking member, and the monitoring probe is used to detect the presence or absence of a vehicle in the parking space. When the detection probe detects that a vehicle has entered the parking space, the driving assembly drives the blocking member to rise to block the vehicle from leaving the parking space. Before that, the detection probe needs to continuously send out detection signals to detect whether a vehicle has entered in real time. Thus, during use, even when the parking space lock is in the standby state, the detection probe needs to consume a relatively large amount of power to continuously send out detection signals.

The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of a state of the parking lock 100 provided by one embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 is Figure 1 another schematic diagram of the state of the parking lock 100 shown. The parking lock 100 is installed on the ground where the parking space is located and can be used to restrict the vehicle from driving out or into the parking space.

[0042] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of part A of the parking lock 100 shown Figure 4 is Figure 1The parking lock 100 shown is a structural schematic diagram of a section view along the BB direction, wherein the parking lock 100 includes a mounting seat 10, a stopper 20, an elastic member 30, a gyroscope 40 and a drive assembly, wherein the stopper 20 is connected to the mounting seat 10, and an active gap 101 is provided below the stopper 20 to allow the stopper 20 to deflect downward, the elastic member 30 elastically connects the mounting seat 10 and the stopper 20, and the elastic member 30 can provide an elastic force for the stopper 20 to reset upward within the active gap 101, the gyroscope 40 is connected to the stopper 20, and the drive assembly is connected to the stopper 20, and the drive assembly can drive the stopper 20 to lift or lower relative to the mounting seat 10.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting an active gap 101 below the stopper 20 for the stopper 20 to deflect downward, when the vehicle enters the parking space and the wheel of the vehicle presses on the stopper 20, the wheel can force the stopper 20 to deflect downward in the active gap 101. At the same time, the gyroscope 40 connected to the stopper 20 can sense the deflection of the stopper 20, so that the driving component drives the stopper 20 to lift relative to the mounting seat 10, thereby restricting the vehicle from leaving the parking space. The parking lock 100 of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the sensitivity of the gyroscope 40 to external forces. When the stopper 20 is subjected to the external force of the wheel and produces downward mechanical movement, the gyroscope 40 connected to the stopper 20 can be triggered, thereby realizing the parking lock 100 sensing the vehicle entering the parking space. During use, the gyroscope 40 does not need to send a detection signal to the outside in real time, and its power consumption is relatively small. The parking lock 100 is more energy-efficient when in standby mode.

[0044] Furthermore, by providing the elastic member 30 , after the wheel of the vehicle removes the pressure on the stopper 20 , the elastic member 30 can cause the stopper 20 to shift upward in the movable gap 101 for reset, thereby preparing for the detection when the next vehicle enters the parking space.

[0045] In the specific use process, the stopper 20 has a descending state, a pressing state and a lifting state, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the descending state is the position where the stopper 20 is located after it descends relative to the mounting seat 10 and is located above the active gap 101. The descending state is the initial state of the stopper 20; the pressing state is the position where the stopper 20 is located after it deflects downward in the descending state and compresses the space of the active gap 101; Figure 2 As shown, the raised state is the position of the stopper 20 after it is raised relative to the mounting seat 10. The stopper 20 can be switched between the lowered state and the raised state by driving the drive assembly, and the stopper 20 can be switched between the depressed state and the lowered state by driving the wheels onto and away from the stopper 20. The above-mentioned active gap 101 refers to the active range of the stopper 20 when it deflects downward from the lowered state to the depressed state.

[0046] When the wheel drives onto the upper surface of the stopper 20, the pressure generated by the wheel on the stopper 20 is downward. Under the action of this pressure, the stopper 20 deflects downward from the descending state to the pressed state. At the same time, the downward deflection action of the stopper 20 also forces the elastic member 30 connected thereto to undergo elastic deformation, so that the elastic member 30 accumulates a certain amount of potential energy; when the wheel drives away from the upper surface of the stopper 20, the elastic member 30 releases the potential energy and restores the elastic deformation, and provides an upward restoring elastic force for the stopper 20. Under the action of the elastic force, the stopper 20 deflects upward from the pressed state to the descending state and is reset.

[0047] Among them, the downward deflection generated by the stopper 20 can be that the whole stopper 20 deflects downward to compress the space of the movable gap 101, or the stopper 20 rotates and deflects downward around a certain support point or support surface to compress the space of the movable gap 101, as long as the stopper 20 can generate a certain position change under the pressure of the wheel, so as to trigger the gyroscope 40 connected to the stopper 20.

[0048] In some embodiments, the stopper 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10, and the driving assembly can drive the stopper 20 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 10 to the raised state or the lowered state, so as to allow the stopper 20 to switch between the raised state and the lowered state. Through the above settings, the stopper 20 can be erected after being lifted or laid flat after being lowered by changing the rotation angle, and the stopper 20 does not need to be longitudinally lifted or lowered in the direction perpendicular to the ground, avoiding the need to dig a deeper groove in the ground when the parking lock 100 is installed on the ground to provide a descending space for the stopper 20.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, when the driving assembly drives the stopper 20 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 10 along the first direction F1 and is in the raised state after being lifted, at this time, the stopper 20 stands upright relative to the ground, and the parking lock 100 restricts the vehicle from driving out of or into the parking space. As Figure 1 shown, when the driving assembly drives the stopper 20 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 10 along the second direction F2 and is in the lowered state after being lowered, at this time, the stopper 20 lies flat relative to the ground, and the vehicle can drive out of or into the parking space. The first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are opposite.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the stopper 20 is not rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10, and the stopper 20 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 10 up and down. The driving assembly can drive the stopper 20 to slide upward relative to the mounting seat 10 to be in the raised state, or slide downward to be in the lowered state.

[0051] During the specific use process, the gyroscope 40 is used to detect whether the baffle 20 makes a downward offset movement within the active gap when it is in the descending state, so as to sense whether a wheel drives onto the baffle 20. In addition, since the gyroscope 40 is connected to the baffle 20, other movements of the baffle 20 can also be detected by the gyroscope 40. For example, the gyroscope 40 can also be used to detect the angle or distance of the driving component driving the baffle 20 to lift or descend, so as to confirm whether the baffle 20 is lifted or descended in place. Specifically, after the gyroscope 40 first senses the downward offset movement of the baffle 20, it converts the downward offset movement of the baffle 20 into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control system of the parking lock 100. The electronic control system then controls the driving component to drive the baffle 20 to lift relative to the mounting base 10. The gyroscope 40 detects the angle or distance of the baffle 20's lift. When the vehicle needs to drive out of the parking space, the electronic control system then controls the driving component to drive the baffle 20 to descend relative to the mounting base 10, and the gyroscope 40 detects the angle or distance of the baffle 20's descent.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 is provided with a connection hole. The baffle 20 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a baffle plate 22. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the connection hole. The driving component is connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the driving component can drive the rotating shaft 21 to drive the baffle plate 22 to rotate relative to the mounting base 10 to the lifted state or the descending state. The active gap 101 includes a first gap 1011 that allows the baffle plate 22 to downwardly offset when it is in the descending state. The first gap 1011 is provided below the baffle plate 22 when it is in the descending state. The elastic member 30 provides an upward reset elastic force for the baffle plate 22. When a wheel drives onto the baffle plate 22, the wheel generates a downward pressure on the baffle plate 22, causing the baffle plate 22 to downwardly offset within the first gap 1011 and compress the space of the first gap 1011. In this way, the position change generated by the baffle plate 22 can trigger the gyroscope 40 connected thereto, thereby realizing the sensing of the downward offset movement of the baffle plate 22 by the gyroscope 40.

[0053] Among them, the gyroscope 40 can be installed on the baffle plate 22, and the gyroscope 40 realizes the sensing of the vehicle driving into the parking space by the baffle plate 22 rotating and offsetting downward around the rotating shaft 21; the gyroscope 40 can also be installed on the rotating shaft 21, and the gyroscope 40 realizes the sensing of the vehicle driving into the parking space by the baffle plate 22 driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate around its own axis.

[0054] Such as Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the active gap 101 further includes a second gap 1012 that allows the rotating shaft 21 to deflect downward when in the lowered state. The second gap 1012 is provided in the connecting hole. The second gap 1012 is located below the rotating shaft 21 when in the lowered state. The elastic member 30 provides an upward restoring elastic force for the rotating shaft 21 and the baffle 22. In this way, when the wheel drives onto the baffle 22 and forces the baffle 22 to deflect downward, the baffle 22 can drive the rotating shaft 21 to deflect downward within the second gap 1012. Thus, the rotating shaft 21 can also undergo a downward deflection action to generate a relatively large position change. The position changes generated by both the rotating shaft 21 and the baffle 22 can better trigger the gyroscope 40, allowing the gyroscope 40 to be installed on the rotating shaft 21 or the baffle 22 as needed, providing different choices for the installation position of the gyroscope 40. During installation, the gyroscope 40 can be installed on the rotating shaft 21 or the baffle 22 according to actual needs.

[0055] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting hole includes a first connecting hole 111 and a second connecting hole 121. The rotating shaft 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212. The first end 211 and the second end 212 are respectively located on both sides of the baffle 22. The first end 211 is rotatably connected to the first connecting hole 111. The second gap 1012 is provided in the first connecting hole 111. The second gap 1012 is located below the first end 211 when in the lowered state. The second end 212 is rotatably connected to the second connecting hole 121, and the outer diameter of the second end 212 is adapted to the inner diameter of the second connecting hole 121. Through the above settings, after the second section 212 is installed in the second connecting hole 121, the inner wall of the second connecting hole 121 can perform radial limiting on the second end 212 to prevent the second end 212 from undergoing radial movement relative to the inner wall of the second connecting hole 121. The second end 212 can only rotate around its own axis within the second connecting hole 121, and the inner wall of the second connecting hole 121 supports the second end 212; when the wheel drives onto the baffle 22 and forces the baffle 22 to deflect downward, the baffle 22 exerts a downward moment on the rotating shaft 21 between the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the rotating shaft 21, causing the rotating shaft 21 to elastically bend downward approximately centered on the second connecting hole 121, so that the first end 211 of the rotating shaft 21 deflects downward within the second gap 1012. Thus, both the rotating shaft 21 and the baffle 22 can undergo a downward deflection action to generate a relatively large position change. The position changes generated by both the rotating shaft 21 and the baffle 22 can better trigger the gyroscope 40. After the first end 211 deflects downward by the size of the second gap 1012, the inner wall of the first connecting hole 111 can also support and limit the first end 211 to prevent the second end 211 from deflecting downward excessively.

[0056] When the stopper 20 is in the descending state, the first end 211 and the second end 212 are collinear; when the stopper 20 is in the pressed state, the first end 211 is deflected downward relative to the second end 212. It can be understood that the rotating shaft 21 is a rigid shaft body, but under the external force of the wheel, it can still undergo a small elastic deformation to allow the rotating shaft 21 to elastically bend slightly downward approximately with the second connecting hole 121 as the support center, so that the axis of the first end 211 is deflected downward relative to the axis of the second end 212; after removing the external force of the wheel, the elastic member 30 provides an upward elastic force to the stopper 20 to assist the rotating shaft 21 to elastically bend upward approximately with the second connecting hole 121 as the center and reset, so that the first end 211 and the second end 212 are collinear again.

[0057] In some embodiments, the height direction of the first connecting hole 111 is the direction in which the first end 211 offsets up and down in the hole, and the height of the first connecting hole 111 is greater than the outer diameter of the first end 211 to allow a second gap 1012 for the first end 211 to offset up and down in the first connecting hole 111; the width of the first connecting hole 111 is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 21.

[0058] Among them, the first connecting hole 111 can be an oval hole.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the first connecting hole 111 can also be other hole shapes, for example, a rectangular hole, an elliptical hole, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, the end of the second end 212 extends out of the second connecting hole 121 in the direction away from the first end 211, and the driving assembly is connected to the end of the first end 211. Thus, since the inner wall of the second connecting hole 121 has a radial limiting effect on the second end 212, during the process of the rotating shaft 21 elastically bending downward with the second connecting hole 121 as the support center, the height position of the end of the second end 212 remains unchanged, so as to avoid affecting the cooperation between the rotating shaft 21 and the driving assembly when the rotating shaft 21 elastically bends downward and ensure the stable cooperation between the rotating shaft 21 and the driving assembly.

[0061] In some other embodiments, a third gap is provided in the second connecting hole 121, and the third gap is located below the second end 212 when it is in the descending state, and the size of the third gap is the same as the size of the second gap. When the wheel drives onto the baffle 22 and forces the baffle 22 to drive the rotating shaft 21 to deflect downward, the first end 211 deflects downward by the size of the second gap 1012 in the first connecting hole 111, and the second end 212 deflects downward by the size of the third gap in the second connecting hole 121.

[0062] It can be understood that when the second end 212 moves vertically, the cooperation between the second end 212 and the driving component will also change. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that when the second end 212 moves downward, the driving component will not interfere with the movement of the second end 212. After the second end 212 is reset upward, the driving component can still cooperate with the second end 212 normally to drive the second end 212 to drive the stopper 20 to lift or lower relative to the mounting seat 10. For the convenience of understanding, the example of the driving component transmitting motion through a worm gear and a worm is used for illustration. The worm gear is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second end 212 and fixed to the second end 212. The worm gear meshes with the worm, and the worm is located above the worm gear. When the second end 212 drives the worm gear to move downward, the worm gear moves away from the worm. When the second end 212 drives the worm gear to reset upward, the worm gear and the worm resume normal cooperation, so as to ensure the normal driving of the second end 212 by the driving component. Among them, a worm gear and a worm with larger teeth can be selected, so that when the worm gear moves away from the worm, the worm gear can still cooperate with the worm to prevent the stopper 20 from losing rotational limit and rotating around the axis of the rotating shaft 21 after the worm gear disengages from the worm.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the second gap 1012 is omitted, and both ends of the rotating shaft 21 are radially limited by the connecting holes. The rotating shaft 21 can only rotate around its own axis in the connecting holes. One side end of the baffle 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the elastic member 30 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 or the baffle 22, and when the baffle 22 is in the lowered state, it is suspended, so that after the wheel drives onto the baffle 22, it can force the baffle 22 to rotate downward and deflect around the rotating shaft 21.

[0064] Specifically, one side end of the baffle 22 close to the rotating shaft 21 is supported by the rotating shaft 21 and is away from other components below the baffle 22. The other side end of the baffle 22 away from the rotating shaft 21 is away from other components below the baffle 22 by the elastic force provided by the elastic member 30. The elastic member 30 is a compression spring or a leaf spring. The compression spring is arranged below the baffle 22 when the baffle 22 is in the lowered state, and the compression spring can provide an upward elastic force for the baffle 22 to make the other side end of the baffle 22 away from the rotating shaft 21 in a suspended state; alternatively, the elastic member 30 is a torsion spring, the torsion spring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 21, one torsion arm of the torsion spring is connected to the baffle 22, and the other torsion arm of the torsion spring is connected to the mounting seat 10, and the torsion spring can provide an upward elastic force for the baffle 22 to make the other side end of the baffle 22 away from the rotating shaft 21 in a suspended state.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second end 212 is rotationally limited with respect to the driving assembly to prevent the baffle 22 from rotating and shifting downward about the axis of the rotating shaft 21 under its own gravity. By rotationally limiting the second end 212 of the rotating shaft 21, when the baffle 22 is in the lowered state, it is allowed to remain in the lowered state, that is, above the second gap 1012, so as to prevent the other end of the baffle 22 away from the rotating shaft 21 from falling under its own gravity and abutting against other components. There is no need to provide a structure below the baffle 22 to support the baffle 22 and keep the baffle 22 above the second gap 1012, and it is allowed for the entire baffle 22 to move downward together with the rotating shaft 21 to generate a large position change.

[0066] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a driving motor, a worm, and a worm gear. The output end of the driving motor is connected to the worm. The worm gear is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second end 212 and is fixed to the second end 212. The worm gear meshes with the worm. The worm and the worm gear play a role in transmitting motion between the driving motor and the second end 212. When the driving motor is started, the output end of the driving motor drives the second end 212 to rotate successively through the worm and the worm gear, and the second end 212 drives the baffle 22 to rotate together, so as to realize the rotational lifting or rotational lowering of the driving stopper 20. Among them, the cooperation between the worm gear and the worm has good self-locking property. The rotational limit between the second end 212 and the driving assembly can be realized through the meshing between the worm gear and the worm. When the stopper 20 is in the lowered state or during the downward offset of the stopper 20, it can prevent the baffle 22 from rotating and shifting downward about the axis of the rotating shaft 21.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the motion transmission between the driving motor and the second end 212 can also be realized through other driving assemblies. For example, a first gear is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second end 212, and the first gear is fixed to the second end 212. The output end of the driving assembly is connected with a second gear, and the first gear meshes with the second gear. The output end of the driving motor drives the second end 212 to rotate successively through the second gear and the first gear, and the second end 212 drives the baffle 22 to rotate together, so as to realize the rotational lifting or rotational lowering of the driving stopper 20. Among them, the driving motor can be a servo motor, and the servo motor has good self-locking property, so that the meshing between the second gear connected thereto and the first gear can realize the rotational limit between the second end and the driving assembly. When the stopper 20 is in the lowered state or during the downward offset of the stopper 20, it can prevent the baffle 22 from rotating and shifting downward about the axis of the rotating shaft 21.

[0068] Among them, a plurality of reduction gears can also be arranged between the first gear and the second gear, and the plurality of reduction gears are meshed in sequence. The first one at the head of the plurality of reduction gears meshes with the first gear, and the last one at the end of the plurality of reduction gears meshes with the second gear. In the specific implementation process, it is necessary to limit each reduction gear so that each reduction gear can only rotate about its own axis.

[0069] During use, since the baffle 22 needs to be lifted to restrict a vehicle from driving out of or into a parking space, other components below the baffle 22 will be exposed on the ground, resulting in debris such as sand and gravel being easily accumulated on other components below the baffle 22. When the wheel drives onto the baffle 22 and presses the baffle 22 to deflect downward, the bottom surface of the baffle 22 will fit against other components below it, and debris such as sand and gravel will scrape and damage the bottom surface of the baffle 22. Therefore, in some embodiments, the first gap 1011 is greater than or equal to the second gap 1012. During the process that the wheel drives onto the stopper 20 and forces the stopper 20 to deflect downward, the center around which the stopper 20 deflects downward is located at the second connection hole 121. Then, along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21, the farther away from the second end 212, the greater the downward deflection distance of the stopper 20. And since the first end 211 is located on the side of the baffle 22 away from the second connection hole 121, the maximum distance of the downward deflection of the stopper 20 is the size of the second gap 1012 when the first end 211 deflects downward in the first connection hole 111. The baffle 22 is closer to the second connection hole 121 than the first end 211, so the downward deflection distance of the baffle 22 is less than the size of the second gap 1012. And since the first gap 1011 is greater than or equal to the second gap 1012, there is still a certain gap below the baffle 22 after it deflects downward, that is, there is always a certain gap between the bottom surface of the baffle 22 and other components, thereby avoiding the baffle 22 from being scraped and damaged by debris such as sand and gravel below it.

[0070] Among them, the size of the first gap 1011 can be set according to the actual situation, as long as the gap left below the baffle 22 after it deflects downward allows the baffle 22 to avoid fine sand and gravel.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second gap 1012 is greater than the first gap 1011.

[0072] In some embodiments, the size of the second gap 1012 is 1 to 4 millimeters, that is, the first connection hole 111 allows the first end 211 to deflect downward by 1 to 4 millimeters in the first connection hole 111 and then abut against the lower wall of the first connection hole 111. In this way, the elastic bending deformation amount of the rotating shaft 21 can be limited, preventing the rotating shaft 21 from being excessively bent and damaging the structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, the elastic member 30 is elastically connected to the mounting base 10 and the first end 211, and the elastic member 30 provides an upward reset elastic force for the first end 211 within the second gap 1012. When the stopper 20 is in the lowered state, the entire stopper 20 is supported by the first end 211 and the second end 212 respectively from the lower wall of the elastic member 30 and the second connection hole 121. When the stopper 20 is in the pressed state, the entire stopper 20 is supported by the first end 211 and the second end 212 respectively from the lower wall of the first connection hole 111 and the lower wall of the second connection hole 121. Since the center around which the stopper 20 deflects downward is located at the second connection hole 121, and the first end 211 is located on the side of the baffle 22 away from the second connection hole 121, on the rotating shaft 21, the distance from the first end 211 to the second connection hole 121 is relatively long. Therefore, by disposing the elastic member 30 at the position corresponding to the first end 211, the elastic force of the elastic member 30 acting on the stopper 20 correspondingly has a relatively large force arm, so that the elastic member 30 can generate a relatively large moment on the stopper 20, which is more conducive to the elastic member 30 supporting the stopper 20 and resetting the stopper 20.

[0074] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 includes a first connection base 11, a first connection hole 111 is provided in the first connection base 11, and the first connection base 11 is further provided with a receiving hole 112 which is communicated with the first connection hole 111. The elastic member 30 is received in the receiving hole 112, and the two ends of the elastic member 30 are elastically connected to the lower wall of the receiving hole 112 and the first end 211 respectively. By providing the receiving hole 112 for receiving the elastic member 30 on the first connection base 11, the space occupied by the first connection base 11 itself is utilized, which can make the structure of the parking lock 100 more compact and avoid occupying extra space due to the setting of the elastic member 30. Moreover, the receiving hole 112 can limit the elastic member 30 to prevent the elastic member 30 from deviating from the installation position during use, so that the elastic member 30 can be stably elastically connected to the rotating shaft 21.

[0075] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 further includes a second connection base 12, a second connection hole 121 is provided in the second connection base 12, the first connection base 11 and the second connection base 12 are spaced apart, and the lowest point of the lower wall of the first connection hole 111 is lower than the lowest point of the lower wall of the second connection hole 121.

[0076] In some embodiments, both the first connection base 11 and the second connection base 12 are in the shape of a convex character.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the first connection base 11 and the second connection base 12 may be in other shapes, for example, rectangular.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the first connection seat 11 is a bushing, the first connection hole 111 is provided inside the bushing, and the outer diameter of the first end 211 is adapted to the inner diameter of the first connection hole 111, so that the inner wall of the first connection hole 111 can radially limit the first end 211, and the first end 211 can only rotate around its own axis within the first connection hole 111. The bushing is slidably connected to the mounting seat 10 up and down, and the second gap 1012 is provided below the bushing when it is in the lowered state.

[0079] Wherein, the elastic member 30 can be arranged in the second gap 1012, and the elastic member 30 supports the bushing, and the elastic member 30 can provide an upward restoring force for the bushing.

[0080] Wherein, the bushing can be slidably connected to the mounting seat 10 through a bolt. Specifically, the bolt includes a stud and a nut. The nut is fixed at the end of the stud. The end of the stud away from the nut is provided with a thread, and the thread is screwed to the mounting seat 10. The other end of the stud near the nut is in a smooth cylindrical shape. A limiting hole is provided on the side of the bushing, and the limiting hole is sleeved on the outside of the other end of the stud, and the diameter of the limiting hole is larger than the outer diameter of the stud, so that when the rotating shaft 21 offsets downward with the second connection hole 121 as the support center, the bushing can also offset relative to the stud along with the rotating shaft 21, avoiding interference with the offset of the rotating shaft 21. The nut is located above the limiting hole, and the diameter of the nut is larger than the diameter of the limiting hole. In this way, the bushing can be prevented from disengaging from the bolt from bottom to top.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is Figure 1 the schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the parking lock 100 along the C-C direction as shown. In some embodiments, the parking lock 100 further includes a cushioning member 50. The cushioning member 50 includes an arc-shaped gasket 51. The arc-shaped gasket 51 is arranged in the first connection hole 111 and is located below the first end 211. The receiving hole 112 is located below the arc-shaped gasket 51. The first end 211 abuts against the inner peripheral side wall 511 of the arc-shaped gasket 51. The elastic member 30 is a compression spring. One end of the compression spring elastically abuts against the outer peripheral side wall 512 of the arc-shaped gasket 51, and the other end of the compression spring elastically abuts against the lower wall of the receiving hole 112. The compression spring provides an upward restoring force for the first end 211 through the arc-shaped gasket 51. The arc-shaped gasket 51 is always closely attached to the first end 211 under the elastic force of the compression spring, and the arc-shaped gasket 51 can offset up and down along with the first end 211. By arranging the arc-shaped gasket 51 between the first end 211 and the compression spring, the elastic force transmitted by the compression spring to the first end 211 can be more evenly distributed, ensuring the elastic force of the compression spring on the first end 211 and providing a stable elastic force for the rotating shaft 21.

[0082] Optionally, the inner peripheral side wall 511 of the arc-shaped gasket 51 is adapted to the outer peripheral side wall of the first end 211, and the outer peripheral side wall 512 of the arc-shaped gasket 51 is adapted to the lower wall of the first connection hole 111.

[0083] To prevent the arc-shaped gasket 51 from separating from the first connection hole 111 when it moves up and down with the first end 211, in some embodiments, the gasket 50 further includes a limiting post 52. The limiting post 52 is connected to the outer peripheral side wall 512 of the arc-shaped gasket 51. The limiting post 52 extends into the receiving hole 112, and the compression spring is sleeved outside the limiting post 52. The receiving hole 112 can limit the limiting post 52. When the limiting post 52 moves up and down with the arc-shaped gasket 51, the limiting post 52 is always located within the receiving hole 112. The receiving hole 112 guides the movement of the limiting post 52, such that the limiting post 52 moves along or substantially along the axis parallel to the axis of the receiving hole 112, thereby realizing the limitation of the arc-shaped gasket 51 and preventing the arc-shaped gasket 51 from separating from the first connection hole 111.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, the limiting post 52 can be omitted, and the outer peripheral side wall 512 of the arc-shaped gasket 51 is welded to the upper end of the compression spring, so that the arc-shaped gasket 51 and the compression spring are fixed to each other, and the compression spring can limit the arc-shaped gasket 51 within the receiving hole 112.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the elastic member 30 is a tension spring. The receiving hole 112 is located above the first end 211. One end of the tension spring is fixed to the upper wall of the receiving hole 112, and the other end of the tension spring is fixed to the first end 211.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 which are the three-dimensional structural diagrams of the parking lock 100 provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 is Figure 6 the partial enlarged view of part D of the parking lock 100 shown in. In some embodiments, the elastic member 30 includes a helix 31, a first torsion arm 32, and a second torsion arm 33. The first torsion arm 32 and the second torsion arm 33 are respectively connected to both ends of the helix 31. The helix 31 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the first end 211. The first torsion arm 32 is fixed to the rotating shaft 21, and the second torsion arm 33 abuts against the mounting seat 10. The elastic member 30 provides an upward restoring force for the first end 211 within the second gap 1012, so that the blocking member 20 can be restored upward after the wheel drives away.

[0087] When the stopper 20 is in the lowered state, the second torsion arm 33 elastically abuts against the mounting seat 10 to prevent the stopper 20 from shifting downward and compressing the movable gap 101. When the wheel drives onto the baffle 22 and forces the first end 211 and the baffle 22 to shift downward, the first end 211 forces the second torsion arm 33 to elastically deform, so that the second torsion arm 33 accumulates a certain amount of potential energy; when the wheel drives away from the baffle 22, the second torsion arm 33 releases the potential energy and restores the elastic deformation, and provides an upward restoring elastic force for the first end 211, and the first end 211 drives the baffle 22 to reset upward together.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is Figure 7 the schematic structural diagram of the elastic member 30 and the fixing member 60 shown in. The parking lock 100 further includes a fixing member 60. The fixing member 60 is fixed to the first end 211. The first torsion arm 32 is fixed to the first end 211 through the fixing member 60, so that the elastic member 30 is integrally fixed to the first end 211.

[0089] Specifically, the fixing member 60 includes a fixing post 61 and a limiting protrusion 62. One end of the fixing post 61 is fixedly connected to the limiting protrusion 62, and the other end of the fixing post 61 is inserted into the first end 211 and fixed to the first end 211. The first torsion arm 32 is bent, and the first torsion arm 32 is wound around the circumferential outer wall of the fixing post 61 exposed outside the first end 211. The limiting protrusion 62 abuts against the first torsion arm 32 toward the first end 211, so that the first torsion arm 32 abuts between the limiting protrusion 62 and the first end 211, thereby making the elastic member 30 relatively fixed to the first end 211 as a whole and preventing the elastic member 30 from detaching from the first end 211.

[0090] Among them, the fixing member 60 can be a bolt. The fixing post 61 is the stud of the bolt, and the stud is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 21. The limiting protrusion 62 is the nut of the bolt.

[0091] In some other embodiments, the elastic member 30 can be a leaf spring. One end of the leaf spring elastically abuts against the mounting seat 10, and the other end of the leaf spring elastically abuts against the first end 211 to provide an upward restoring elastic force for the first end 211 in the second gap 1012, so that the stopper 20 can be reset upward after the wheel drives away.

[0092] Please continue to refer to Figure 7, in some embodiments, the gyroscope 40 is installed at the end of the first end 211 away from the baffle 22. With the above arrangement, on the one hand, when connecting the wires of the gyroscope 40, the wiring of the gyroscope 40 can be directly carried out at the end of the first end 211, avoiding the need to thread the wires through the baffle 22 when the gyroscope 40 is installed on the baffle 22, facilitating the wiring of the gyroscope 40 and simplifying the internal wiring of the parking lock 100; on the other hand, the position change of the first end 211 vertically downward is greater than the position change of the baffle 22 or the second end, which can ensure that the stopper 20 has a better triggering effect on the gyroscope 40.

[0093] In some embodiments, the end face of the first end 211 is provided with a mounting hole 2111, and at least a part of the gyroscope 40 is received in the mounting hole 2111, which can make the structure of the parking lock 100 more compact, avoid occupying extra space due to the setting of the gyroscope 40, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 2111 can play a certain limiting role on the gyroscope 40, so that the gyroscope 40 can be stably installed on the first end 211.

[0094] In some other embodiments, the gyroscope 40 is installed on the baffle 22.

[0095] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the parking lock 100 further includes a detection module 70 for detecting whether a vehicle enters or exits the parking space, and the detection module 70 is installed on the mounting seat 10 or the stopper 20.

[0096] Among them, the detection module 70 can be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, etc.

[0097] In some embodiments, the parking lock 100 further includes an electric control system 80 and a battery 90. The electric control system 80 is electrically connected to the gyroscope 40 and the detection module 70. The electric control system 80 is used to receive the signals sent by the gyroscope 40 and the detection module 70, and control the driving component to drive the stopper 20 to lift or lower. The battery 90 is electrically connected to the electric control system 80, the gyroscope 40 and the detection module 70, and the battery 90 is used to supply power to the electric control system 80, the gyroscope 40 and the detection module 70.

[0098] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 10 further includes a bottom plate 13, a first cover 14, and a second cover 15. The first cover 14 and the second cover 15 are spaced apart and are respectively mounted on the bottom plate 13. The first connecting seat 11 is mounted on the bottom plate 13 and is received in the first cover 14, and the second connecting seat 12 is mounted on the bottom plate 13 and is received in the second cover 15. The stopper 20 is located on the bottom plate 13, and the first end 211 of the rotating shaft 21 extends into the first cover 14 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting hole 111 of the first connecting seat 11, and the second end 212 of the rotating shaft 21 extends into the second cover 15 and is rotatably connected to the second connecting hole 121 of the second connecting seat 12. The baffle 22 is located between the first cover 14 and the second cover 15. The gyroscope 40 is received in the first cover 14. The drive assembly, the electronic control system 80, and the battery 90 are all received in the second cover 15. The detection module 70 is mounted on the upper wall of the first cover 14. By providing the first cover 14 and the second cover 15, certain protection can be provided for the components received in each covered body, reducing the impact of the use environment on the normal operation of the parking lock 100.

[0099] A first gap 1011 is formed at an interval between the baffle 22 and the bottom plate 13. Figure 4 The other components below the baffle 22 in the illustrated embodiment are the bottom plate 13, and the first gap 1011 is the gap between the baffle 22 and the bottom plate 13 when the baffle 22 is in the lowered state.

[0100] The working principle of the parking lock 100 is described below by way of example:

[0101] As Figure 1 shown, in the initial state, the stopper 20 is in the flat position after being lowered. The gyroscope 40 continuously detects whether a vehicle has entered. The detection module 70 and the electronic control system 80 are in the sleep state. When a vehicle enters the parking space and the wheels of the vehicle drive onto the stopper 20, the wheels force the stopper 20 to deflect within the movable gap 101. At the same time, the gyroscope 40 connected to the stopper 20 senses the deflection action of the stopper 20, converts the deflection action of the stopper 20 into a first electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control system 80, and wakes up the electronic control system 80 and the detection module 70. The detection module 70 detects whether the vehicle is in the normal parking position. If the vehicle is in the normal parking position, the detection module 70 sends a second electrical signal to the electronic control system 80. After receiving the second electrical signal, the electronic control system 80 controls the drive assembly to drive the stopper 20 to lift, thereby restricting the vehicle from driving out of the parking space, as Figure 2 shown.

[0102] When the vehicle needs to drive out of the parking space where the parking lock 100 is located, after scanning the code and paying the fee near the parking space through the scanned code information or other means, the electronic control system 80 controls the drive assembly to drive the stopper 20 to lower, allowing the vehicle to drive out of the parking space, as Figure 1 shown.

[0103] When the detection module 70 detects that there is no vehicle parked in the parking space, the detection module 70 sends a third electrical signal to the electronic control system 80. After receiving the third electrical signal, the electronic control system 80 controls itself and the detection module 70 to enter the sleep mode again.

[0104] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; under the idea of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, and the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present invention as described above.
