The drawings and the written description are not intended to restrict the scope of the present application in any way, but to explain the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all the technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0045] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings.

[0046] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a charging parking space management system, which comprises a charging pile device 100 and a ground pile device 200, and a charging parking area 300 is at least partially located between the charging pile device 100 and the ground pile device 200. It can be understood that the charging parking area 300 can provide parking space for the vehicle 400 with charging demand. It should be noted that the charging parking area 300 is at least partially located between the charging pile device 100 and the ground pile device 200 means that the entire area of the charging parking area 300 is located between the charging pile device 100 and the ground pile device 200, that is, as shown in the figure Figure 1 The charging pile device 100 and the ground pile device 200 shown in the figure can be located outside the charging parking area 300 and on opposite sides, respectively; or means that a part of the charging parking area 300 is located between the charging pile device 100 and the ground pile device 200, that is, the charging pile device 100 can be located outside the charging parking area 300, and the ground pile device 200 is located inside the charging parking area 300 and blocks the vehicle 400 from driving out, for example, the ground pile device 200 can be arranged on the front side of the tire of the vehicle 400. The charging pile device 100 comprises a controller 110 and an infrared sensor 120 connected by a signal, and the ground pile device 200 comprises a lifting mechanism 210 connected by a signal with the controller 110.

[0047] It should be noted that the two components connected by a signal mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can be connected by a line or by a network. For example Figure 1 As shown, the controller 110 and the lifting mechanism 210 are connected by a line through a wire tube 500.

[0048] The infrared sensor 120 is used to generate a parking signal in response to the vehicle 400 parking in the charging parking area 300, and send the parking signal to the controller 110. In some embodiments, the infrared sensor 120 generates the parking signal based on at least part of the vehicle body of the vehicle 400 entering the charging parking area 300 and the staying time of the vehicle 400 in the charging parking area 300 being greater than a preset time. Thus, it can be more accurate to determine whether the vehicle 400 is in the parking signal. It should be noted that at least part of the vehicle body of the vehicle 400 can mean part of the vehicle body or the entire vehicle body.

[0049] The lifting mechanism 210 is used to rise from the ground to the ground based on the parking signal sent by the controller 110 to block the vehicle 400 from driving out of the charging parking area 300. That is, once the vehicle 400 parks in the charging parking area 300, it cannot drive away at will.

[0050] The lifting mechanism 210 is also configured to lower from the ground to the underground based on a permission-to-drive-off signal sent by the controller 110 to allow the vehicle 400 to drive off from the charging parking area 300, wherein the permission-to-drive-off signal is generated by the controller 110 based on that the fee payment operation has been completed, and the fee is related to the occupancy duration and / or the charging amount. In some embodiments, the charging pile device 100 further comprises a charging mechanism 160 configured to charge the vehicle 400. In some embodiments, the charging mechanism 160 comprises a charging head 161 and a wire box 162, the charging head 161 is electrically connected to an external power grid through a wire, and the wire box 162 is configured to accommodate the wire. It can be understood that when the charging head 161 is connected to the charging port of the vehicle 400, the charging head 161 can transmit the electric quantity to the vehicle 400. The controller 110 is configured to start the charging mechanism 160 in response to receiving the parking signal, wherein the charging mechanism 160 in the starting state allows the electric quantity to be input from the charging pile device 100 to the vehicle 400 to charge the vehicle 400. That is, the charging mechanism 160 is started when any vehicle 400 parks in the charging parking area 300. It should be noted that the charging mechanism 160 starts to supply power externally only when it is in the starting state and the charging head 161 is inserted into the charging interface of the vehicle 400.

[0051] It should be noted that the charging parking space management system can adopt a prepayment charging mode. In some embodiments, the controller 110 is further configured to generate charging payment reminder information, for example, the controller 110 can send the charging payment reminder information to a display screen installed on the charging pile device 100, and the display screen is configured to display the charging payment reminder information, which can include at least one charging amount option, the corresponding charging fee to be paid for each option, and the payment method. The completion of the above fee payment operation can be related operations for the user to complete the payment of the charging fee by using any payment method, for example, by using the code scanning payment method to complete the corresponding charging fee. Since the controller 110 generates the permission-to-drive-off signal based on that the fee payment operation has been completed, when the vehicle 400 completes charging, the driver can drive the vehicle 400 to drive off from the charging parking area 300 without being blocked by the lifting mechanism 210. Thus, it is ensured that the driver pays to use the charging pile device 100 for charging and drives off in time, and the utilization rate of the charging pile device 100 is improved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the controller 110 is further configured to generate the occupancy payment reminder information, where the occupancy payment reminder information can include the occupancy time length, the occupancy fee corresponding to the occupancy time length, and a payment method. For example, the controller 110 is further configured to generate the occupancy payment reminder information in response to the charging fee payment operation not being completed within a first preset time; or the controller 110 is configured to generate the occupancy payment reminder information in response to the time length that the vehicle 400 stays in the charging parking area 300 after the charging mechanism 160 has completed the external power supply reaching a second preset time length. The controller 110 is configured to control the lifting mechanism 210 to continue to maintain the raised state or to be raised from the ground to the ground again in response to the occupancy fee operation not being completed within a third preset time, so as to prevent the occupancy user from driving the vehicle 400 out of the charging parking area 300. The controller 110 is further configured to send the occupancy payment reminder information to a display screen installed on the charging pile device 100, and the display screen is configured to display the occupancy payment reminder information. The above-mentioned charging fee payment operation having been completed can be that the user completes the operation of paying the occupancy fee by using any payment method, such as the operation of completing the corresponding occupancy fee payment by using the code scanning payment method. Since the vehicle 400 is allowed to drive out of the charging parking area 300 only after the user pays the corresponding fee, the user who occupies the parking space but does not use the charging pile device 100 for charging and the user who has completed the charging of the specified charging power can drive out of the charging parking area 300 in time. Therefore, the user who has no charging demand can drive out of the charging parking area 300 in time, so as to vacate the charging parking area 300, so that the user who has the charging demand can drive into the charging parking area 300 for charging in time, thereby improving the utilization rate of the charging pile device 100. It should be noted that there are many payment methods and ways of displaying the charging payment reminder information or the occupancy payment reminder information, and the above-mentioned code scanning payment method and the display screen displaying the information are only examples, and other payment methods and ways of displaying the charging payment reminder information or the occupancy payment reminder information or paying the corresponding fee are not listed here.

[0053] The details and effects of the charging parking space management system provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below. Figures 1 to 3 The details and effects of the charging parking space management system provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below.

[0054] As Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the ground stake device 200 further comprises a ground stake box 220, which is located underground, and has a lifting opening 221 above it. The lifting mechanism 210 comprises a driving assembly 211 located in the ground stake box 220 and a lifting assembly 212 connected to the driving assembly 211, and the driving assembly 211 is in signal connection with the controller 110. The controller 110 is further configured to control the driving assembly 211 to drive the lifting assembly 212 to rise from the ground stake box 220 to the ground or descend from the ground to the ground stake box 220 through the lifting opening 221. In this way, when the lifting assembly 212 is not needed to block the vehicle 400 from leaving, the lifting assembly 212 can be stored in the ground stake box 220, so that the lifting assembly 212 can be better protected and avoid being damaged. It can be understood that the ground surface where the charging parking area 300 is located is provided with a gap at a position corresponding to the lifting opening 221, so that the lifting assembly 212 located in the ground stake box 220 can rise to the ground through the lifting opening 221 and the gap to block the vehicle 400 from leaving.

[0055] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the ground stake box 220 is provided with a drainage opening 226, and a drainage pipe 227 is connected to the drainage opening 226. An end of the drainage pipe 227, which is not connected to the drainage opening 226, is in communication with a drainage area. For example, the drainage pipe 227 can be in communication with a drainage ditch around the ground stake box 220. It should be noted that by providing the drainage opening 226, water generated due to rain or cleaning of the charging parking area 300 can be drained into the ground stake box 220 in time, so that the ground stake box 220 is not too humid to affect the normal use of the internal components, and the service life of the ground stake device 200 is improved.

[0056] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the ground pile box 220 has a first side wall 222. The driving assembly 211 includes a motor 213, a gear 214 and a rack 215, the motor 213 is in signal connection with the controller 110, the gear 214 is sleeved on the output shaft 2131 of the motor 213, the rack 215 is engaged with the gear 214, the rack 215 is installed on the first side wall 222, and the rack 215 extends in the lifting direction. It should be noted that the engagement of the rack 215 and the gear 214 means that the outer tooth surface of the gear 214 is engaged with the tooth surface of the rack 215. It can be understood that the rack 215 can be fixed on the first side wall 222 by bolts or adhesion, etc. When the motor 213 is started, the rotating output shaft 2131 can drive the gear 214 to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 214 is engaged with the rack 215, the gear 214 can move upward or downward relative to the rack 215 in the lifting direction to realize the lifting and lowering of the gear 214.

[0057] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 212 is provided with a mounting groove 216, the mounting groove 216 has an opening 2161 facing the rack 215, and the part of the gear 214 not engaged with the rack 215 is located in the mounting groove 216. That is, a part of the gear 214 is located in the mounting groove 216, and the other part is exposed from the mounting groove 216 and engaged with the tooth surface of the rack 215. Among them, when the gear 214 is driven to rotate by the motor 213, the gear 214 drives the lifting assembly 212 to rise or fall from the lifting opening 221. It can be understood that when the gear 214 rises, it can drive the lifting assembly 212 to rise to the ground through the lifting opening 221; when the gear 214 falls, it can drive the lifting assembly 212 to fall into the ground pile box 220 through the lifting opening 221.

[0058] As Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 212 comprises a mounting member 217 and a blocking member 218, the mounting member 217 is rotatably connected with the blocking member 218. The mounting member 217 is provided with a mounting groove 216. When the blocking member 218 is on the ground, the blocking member 218 can rotate around the blocking member 218. In some embodiments, the charging pile device 200 further comprises an alarm 140, which is in signal connection with the controller 110, wherein the alarm 140 is used to generate an alarm signal in response to the rotation of the blocking member 218. The controller 110 is further used to generate an alarm information based on the alarm signal, wherein the alarm information indicates that the vehicle 400 in the charging parking area 300 is in a forced driving-off state. In some embodiments, the alarm 140 can be installed on the blocking member 218, and the alarm 140 can be a collision sensor or an angle sensor. When the alarm 140 is a collision sensor, it can be used to monitor whether the blocking member 218 is hit, and the alarm 140 generates an alarm signal in response to the blocking member 218 being hit. When the alarm 140 is a collision sensor, it can be used to monitor whether the blocking member 218 rotates, and the alarm 140 generates an alarm signal in response to the rotation angle of the blocking member being greater than a preset angle. It can be understood that the blocking member 218 is located in an area that must be passed through when the vehicle 400 drives off from the charging parking area 300, and when the vehicle 400 forcibly drives off, it will inevitably hit the blocking member 218. By setting the alarm 140, the situation that the vehicle 400 forcibly drives off the charging parking area 300 can be monitored in a timely manner.

[0059] It should be noted that the charging parking area 300 can be arranged in a parking lot, and if the vehicle 400 forcibly drives off, the charging pile device 100 can transmit the vehicle information and the corresponding unpaid parking fee of the vehicle 400 to the parking lot fee management system through the controller 110, and the parking fee of the vehicle 400 is collected by the parking lot fee management system when the vehicle 400 drives off the parking lot. Alternatively, the charging parking area 300 can be arranged in a community garage. Generally, the community garage will sign a contract with a third-party fee management system, and if the vehicle 400 forcibly drives off, the charging device can transmit the vehicle information and the corresponding parking fee of the vehicle 400 to the third-party fee management system through the controller 110, and the parking fee of the vehicle 400 is collected by the third-party management system. Thus, the user can be warned to pay for occupying the charging parking area 300 without reason, so as to avoid the user from occupying the charging parking area 300 again, thereby improving the utilization rate of the charging parking area 300, enabling users in need of charging to park in the charging parking area 300 in time for charging, and thereby improving the utilization rate of the charging pile device 100.

[0060] In combination Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking piece 218 is connected with the mounting piece 217 through a torsion spring structure. The torsion spring structure can include a torsion spring shaft and a torsion spring, the blocking piece 218, the torsion spring and the mounting piece 217 are respectively sleeved on the torsion spring shaft, and the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively abutted with the mounting piece 217 and the blocking piece 218, so that the blocking piece 218 can rotate around the mounting piece 217 and restore to the original position. That is, the blocking piece 218 will rotate after being subjected to a certain pushing force, and when the force is removed, the blocking piece 218 can automatically restore to the original position under the elastic action of the torsion spring structure. The blocking piece 218 in the lifting direction is more convenient for being controlled by the controller 110 to descend into the pile box 220 through the lifting opening 221.

[0061] In combination Figure 1 And Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the blocking piece 218 facing the charging pile device 100 is provided with a buffer piece 240, so that if the vehicle 400 collides with the blocking piece 218 when forcibly driving away, the buffer piece 240 can have a certain buffering effect, can protect the blocking piece 218 to a certain extent, and prolong the service life of the blocking piece 218, that is, prolong the service life of the lifting assembly 212.

[0062] In some embodiments, the area of the buffer piece 240 is equal to the area of the side of the blocking piece 218 facing the charging pile device 100. Therefore, the buffer piece 240 can better protect the blocking piece 218.

[0063] In combination Figure 2 And Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the groove wall of the mounting groove 216 is provided with a mounting hole (not shown in the figure), and the mounting hole is opposite to the center of the gear 214.
