Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of assisted parking system technology, and in particular to an automated parking system with an unmanned high-position monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] When tank trucks enter the loading area, the driver needs to safely park them in the designated area. In practice, due to the large size and length of tank trucks, it is easy for a single driver to make mistakes such as misalignment and collisions due to obstructed vision. This can lead to damage to the tank truck due to collisions or rolling, and in severe cases, accidents and injuries in the loading area. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system to assist tank truck drivers and improve vehicle parking safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that there is an urgent need in the market for a system to assist tanker truck drivers in improving vehicle parking safety.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: an automatic parking system with an unmanned high-position monitoring system, including a loading system, a detection unit, a vehicle blocking unit, and an integrated control unit. The loading system includes a storage tank installed inside the tanker area and a T-type filter installed on the storage tank. A first top-mounted energy replenishment box and a second top-mounted energy replenishment box are installed on the upper end of the storage tank. The detection unit includes a first explosion-proof laser beam detector, a second explosion-proof laser beam detector, and a UAV high-positioning and shooting device installed inside the first and second top-mounted power supply boxes. The signal from the first explosion-proof laser beam detector is connected to the integrated control unit inside the first top-mounted power supply box through an intrinsically safe explosion-proof grid. The signal from the second explosion-proof laser beam detector is connected to the integrated control unit inside the second top-mounted power supply box through an intrinsically safe explosion-proof grid. The vehicle blocking unit includes two sets of vehicle stops positioned corresponding to the front and rear wheels of the tanker truck, respectively, and an external flip-up display frame installed on the outside of the vehicle stops.

[0005] The first top-mounted power supply box and the second top-mounted power supply box include a fixed storage box fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the storage tank, an electrically controlled first flip cover plate and an electrically controlled second flip cover plate installed at the upper opening of the fixed storage box, an embedded guide groove installed on the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box, an electrically controlled translation and extrusion frame movably installed on both sides of the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box, a side-mounted power supply spring fixed on the side wall of the electrically controlled translation and extrusion frame, and an electrically controlled winch installed on the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box.

[0006] Photovoltaic panels are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the electronically controlled first flip cover and the electronically controlled second flip cover.

[0007] The electrically controlled translational extrusion frame includes an electrically controlled lead screw installed inside an embedded guide groove, an internally threaded translational seat threaded onto the electrically controlled lead screw, and a transverse extrusion frame fixed obliquely above the internally threaded translational seat by an inclined bracket.

[0008] The fixed storage box has lateral storage grooves on both inner walls that cooperate with the horizontal extrusion frame.

[0009] The high-positioning and shooting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a UAV body, lateral power supply terminals installed on both sides of the landing gear at the lower end of the UAV body, a connecting bracket installed inside the landing gear at the lower end of the UAV body, and an LED fill light installed at the lower end of the connecting bracket.

[0010] Both the electrically controlled first flip cover and the electrically controlled second flip cover consist of flip covers hinged to both sides of the upper opening of the fixed storage box and telescopic support rods hinged to the inner wall of the fixed storage box.

[0011] The vehicle stop includes a lateral tilting frame hinged to the outer frames on both sides of the storage tank, a lateral control strut for controlling the lateral tilting frame, and an embedded LED indicator light installed on the side wall of the lateral tilting frame.

[0012] The external flip display frame is movably mounted on the lower end of the side flip frame via a top bracket.

[0013] An anti-collision warning light cover is installed on the lower side wall of the external flip display frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The automatic parking system with unmanned high-position monitoring system of the present invention adopts explosion-proof laser beam detector for lateral optical monitoring, thereby automatically activating the UAV high-position positioning and shooting device located inside the top-mounted power supply box, and taking high-position shots at the front and rear of the vehicle respectively. Then, the shooting information is displayed intuitively to the driver through the external flip display frame on the vehicle stop, which greatly facilitates the driver to understand the external environment of the entire scene and makes parking more convenient. (2) By shooting from a high position, one can intuitively understand the information around the vehicle from a top-down perspective. There are no blind spots, which greatly simplifies the driver's operation, avoids collision accidents, and greatly enhances safety.

Through photovoltaic power generation, it can enhance its self-supply capability and reduce energy consumption. (4) It adopts a top-mounted installation method, which can be applied to most of the equipment on the market and has strong versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The illustrated automated parking system with unmanned high-position monitoring includes a vehicle loading system, a detection unit, a vehicle blocking unit, and an integrated control unit. The loading system includes a storage tank 1 installed inside the tanker area and a T-type filter 2 installed on the storage tank 1. A first top-mounted energy replenishment box 3 and a second top-mounted energy replenishment box 4 are installed on the upper end of the storage tank 1. The detection unit includes a first explosion-proof laser beam detector 5 and a second explosion-proof laser beam detector 6, which are spaced apart along the direction of travel of the tanker truck, and a UAV high-positioning and shooting device 7 installed inside the first top-mounted power supply box 3 and the second top-mounted power supply box 4. The signal of the first explosion-proof laser beam detector 5 is connected to the integrated control unit in the first top-mounted power supply box 3 through an intrinsically safe explosion-proof grid, and the signal of the second explosion-proof laser beam detector 6 is connected to the integrated control unit in the second top-mounted power supply box 4 through an intrinsically safe explosion-proof grid. The vehicle blocking unit includes two sets of vehicle stoppers 8, respectively positioned corresponding to the front and rear wheels of the tanker, and an external flip-up display frame 9 installed on the outside of the vehicle stoppers 8.

[0025] To facilitate internal storage and recharging, the first top-mounted recharging box 3 and the second top-mounted recharging box 4 include a fixed storage box 10 fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the storage tank 1, an electrically controlled first flip cover 11 and an electrically controlled second flip cover 12 installed at the upper opening of the fixed storage box 10, an embedded guide groove installed on the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box 10, an electrically controlled translational extrusion frame 13 movably installed on both sides of the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box 10, a side-mounted power supply spring 14 fixed on the side wall of the electrically controlled translational extrusion frame 13, and an electrically controlled winch 15 installed on the inner bottom surface of the fixed storage box 10.

[0026] To improve self-powered performance, photovoltaic panels 16 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the first electronically controlled flip cover 11 and the second electronically controlled flip cover 12.

[0027] To facilitate the translation of the lead screw, the electrically controlled translation extrusion frame 13 includes an electrically controlled lead screw 131 installed inside the embedded guide groove, an internally threaded translation seat 132 threaded onto the electrically controlled lead screw 131, and a transverse extrusion frame 133 fixed obliquely above the internally threaded translation seat 132 by an inclined bracket.

[0028] The electric control screw 131 drives the internal thread translation seat 132 to translate along the embedded guide groove by rotating. The electric control screw 131 is a bidirectional screw, which synchronously controls the two internal thread translation seats 132 on its outer side to translate in opposite directions.

[0029] To facilitate the side storage of the horizontal extrusion frame 133, side storage grooves 101 that cooperate with the horizontal extrusion frame 133 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the fixed storage box 10.

[0030] To facilitate unmanned high-position operation, the UAV high-position positioning and shooting device 7 includes a UAV body 71, lateral power supply terminals 72 installed on both sides of the lower landing gear of the UAV body 71, a connecting bracket 73 installed inside the lower landing gear of the UAV body 71, and an LED fill light 74 installed at the lower end of the connecting bracket 73.

[0031] The integrated control unit inside the first top-mounted charging box 3 and the integrated control unit inside the second top-mounted charging box 4 are wirelessly controlled to flip the first flip cover 11 and the second flip cover 12, thereby opening the upper opening of the fixed storage box 10. Then, the drone body 71 is activated and flies to the rear or front of the tanker truck. At this time, the two drone bodies 71 transmit the captured images in real time to the integrated control units inside the first top-mounted charging box 3 and the second top-mounted charging box 4. Then, the integrated control unit stitches the video information and sends it to the external flip display frame 9, which is then played in real time on the external flip display frame 9 located at the front of the truck.

[0032] To facilitate the flipping opening and closing, both the electrically controlled first flipping cover 11 and the electrically controlled second flipping cover 12 are composed of flipping cover 121 hinged to both sides of the upper opening of the fixed storage box 10 and telescopic support rod 122 hinged to the inner wall of the fixed storage box 10.

[0033] The telescopic strut 122 presses against the flip cover 121 by extending and retracting, thereby changing the angle of the flip cover 121.

[0034] To facilitate control of the tilting mechanism on both sides, the vehicle stopper 8 includes a lateral tilting frame 81 hinged to the outer frames on both sides of the storage tank 1, a lateral control strut 82 for controlling the lateral tilting frame 81, and an embedded LED indicator 83 mounted on the side wall of the lateral tilting frame 81.

[0035] The lateral control strut 82 controls the lateral flipping frame 81 to flip and adjust by extending and retracting.

[0036] To facilitate the connection of external attachments, the external flip display frame 9 is movably mounted on the lower end of the side flip frame 81 via a top bracket.

[0037] To prevent collisions caused by close operation, an anti-collision warning light cover 91 is installed on the lower side wall of the external flip display frame 9.

[0038] The anti-collision warning light cover 91 includes a transparent anti-collision housing and an optical ranging probe installed inside the transparent anti-collision housing. The optical ranging probe monitors the distance between the light and the front of the vehicle, and then uses an embedded LED display light 83 to display different lights to visually indicate the distance. Green indicates normal, yellow indicates too close, and red indicates an alarm.

[0039] Work process After the system is powered on, the integrated control unit automatically performs a self-test: the first electronically controlled flip cover 11 and the second electronically controlled flip cover 12 remain closed, the UAV high-positioning shooting device 7 is stored in the fixed storage box 10, the electronically controlled translational squeezing frame 13 clamps the UAV, and the side-mounted power supply spring 14 replenishes the power of the UAV; the first explosion-proof laser beam detector 5 and the second explosion-proof laser beam detector 6 start standby monitoring, and the external flip display frame 9 displays the "ready" status; the side flip frame 81 of the vehicle stop 8 is in the horizontal reset state, the optical ranging probe of the anti-collision warning light cover 91 starts a self-test, and the embedded LED display light 83 lights up green.

[0040] When the tanker truck enters the loading area, it first blocks the laser beam of the first explosion-proof laser beam detector 5, and the signal is transmitted to the integrated control unit of the first top-mounted power supply box 3, triggering an initial response; as the tanker truck continues to move, it blocks the laser beam of the second explosion-proof laser beam detector 6, and the integrated control unit of the second top-mounted power supply box 4 is activated simultaneously. The integrated control unit commands the telescopic support rod 122 to extend and retract, driving the flip cover 121 to flip upward and open the upper opening of the fixed storage box 10. The electric control screw 131 of the electric control translation extrusion frame 13 rotates in the opposite direction, and the lateral extrusion frame 133 moves to the lateral storage groove 101, releasing the drone; The two drones 71 were started one by one and flew to preset heights above the front and rear of the tanker truck, respectively. The LED fill lights 74 were automatically turned on according to the ambient light, ready to shoot.

[0041] After the drone body 71 hovers stably, it begins to shoot from all directions: the drone above the front of the vehicle shoots the distance between the front of the vehicle and the storage tank 1, as well as the environment on the left side; the drone above the rear of the vehicle shoots the rear of the vehicle, the environment on the right side, and the positional relationship with the barrier 8. The captured images are transmitted back to the integrated control unit in the two top-mounted power supply boxes in real time via wireless signals. After being stitched and corrected, a complete overhead parking image is formed. The integrated control unit transmits the image to the external flip display frame 9 at the front of the vehicle for real-time playback. The driver can clearly observe the surrounding situation of the vehicle through the display frame and accurately adjust the driving direction and speed.

[0042] During the tanker's operation, the optical ranging probe of the anti-collision warning light cover 91 continuously monitors the distance to the front of the vehicle and provides real-time feedback through the embedded LED display light 83: green when the distance is sufficient, yellow when the distance is too close, and red when approaching a collision risk and triggering a minor alarm; when the driver parks the vehicle in the designated position according to the screen, the integrated control unit detects that the vehicle is stationary and instructs the lateral control strut 82 of the wheel stop 8 to extend, driving the lateral tilting frame 81 to tilt upwards, firmly blocking the wheels and preventing the vehicle from rolling; at this time, the external tilting display frame 9 displays a "parking in place" prompt, completing the parking assistance.

[0043] After loading is completed, the driver issues a "finish" command via the external flip display box 9, and the integrated control unit initiates the recycling process. The lateral control strut 82 of the wheel stop 8 retracts, and the lateral flipping frame 81 flips downward to reset; The integrated control unit guides the two drone bodies 71 back to the fixed storage box 10 for precise landing; The electric control screw 131 of the electric control translation extrusion frame 13 rotates in the forward direction, the transverse extrusion frame 133 clamps the drone, the side power supply spring 14 contacts the side power supply terminal 72, and automatic power replenishment begins; The telescopic support rod 122 retracts, driving the flip cover 121 to flip downwards and close and fix the storage box 10. The external flip display frame 9 returns to the "ready" state, and the first explosion-proof laser beam detector 5 and the second explosion-proof laser beam detector 6 re-enter the standby monitoring mode.

[0044] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
