Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of parking lot management, and in particular to a control and management device for identifying parking spaces and preventing them from being occupied. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, parking locks are commonly used in parking lots to manage the occupancy status of parking spaces. However, ordinary parking locks can only achieve basic lifting and lowering control and lack the ability to accurately identify the occupancy status of parking spaces. They cannot effectively distinguish between legal parking, illegal occupancy, and accidental triggering scenarios. At the same time, some devices have slow response speeds and lack remote monitoring, abnormal warning, and multi-terminal linkage functions, resulting in low parking space management efficiency, poor user experience, and difficulty in meeting the needs of modern parking lot refined management. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to accurately identify the occupancy status of parking spaces, prevent illegal parking, improve the intelligence and efficiency of parking space management, and enhance user convenience, this application provides a parking space identification and anti-occupancy control and management device.

[0004] This application provides a parking space identification and anti-occupancy control and management device, which adopts the following technical solution: A parking space identification and anti-occupancy control and management device includes a mounting base, a lifting blocking mechanism, an identification and detection module, a control module, a communication module, and a power supply module. The mounting base is fixed to a preset position on the ground of the parking space. The lifting blocking mechanism is vertically slidably installed on the top of the mounting base and is used to open and close the parking space passage. The identification and detection module is integrated into the mounting base and a preset position around the parking space. The identification and detection module is used to collect parking space-related information and transmit it to the control module. The control module has a built-in processor and storage unit. The control module is electrically connected to the lifting blocking mechanism, the identification and detection module, the communication module, and the power supply module. The control module is used to process data and generate control commands. The communication module is used to realize signal interaction between the control module and a remote management platform and a user terminal. The power supply module provides stable power to all components of the device.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solutions and integrating core components such as mounting base, lifting and blocking mechanism, and identification and detection module, a complete parking space management system is formed, realizing the full-process automated management from parking space status detection and legal identity recognition to channel opening and closing control. This solves the problems of traditional parking space locks having single function and low recognition accuracy, and improves the intelligence level and convenience of parking space management.

[0006] Optionally, the lifting and blocking mechanism includes a drive motor, a transmission assembly, a lifting rod, and a limit sensor; the drive motor is fixed inside the mounting base, the transmission assembly is connected to the output end of the drive motor and the lifting rod respectively, the lifting rod is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting base, the limit sensor is installed at both ends of the lifting rod's stroke, the limit sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the limit sensor is used to detect the lifting position of the lifting rod and feed it back to the control module.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor provides power to the lifting rod, the transmission component realizes power transmission, and the limit sensor can monitor the position status of the lifting rod in real time. When the lifting rod reaches the preset lifting or lowering end point, it promptly sends a signal to the control module, and the control module cuts off the motor power supply to avoid motor overload or lifting rod exceeding the stroke, thus preventing structural damage and ensuring the stability and safety of the lifting blocking mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes: A transmission gear, which is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor; A transmission rack, which is integrated on the side wall of the lifting rod and meshes with a transmission gear.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the gear and rack transmission method has high transmission efficiency, compact structure and strong load capacity. It can accurately convert the rotational motion of the drive motor into the vertical linear motion of the lifting rod, ensuring that the lifting rod is raised and lowered smoothly and responds quickly. At the same time, the meshing structure of the gear and rack has strong stability and is not prone to slippage. It is suitable for the complex use environment of outdoor parking lots and is easy to maintain.

[0010] Optionally, the mounting base is provided with a through hole for the lifting rod to move up and down. The lifting rod is divided into two parts: a blocking part and a transmission part. The blocking part is located in the upper half of the lifting rod, and the transmission part is located in the lower half of the lifting rod. The transmission rack is provided in the transmission part, and the blocking part slides in and out of the through hole.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rod is divided into a blocking part and a transmission part, with clear functional divisions. The blocking part is used to block the opening and closing of the parking space passage, while the transmission part is used to cooperate with the transmission components to transmit power. The through hole on the mounting base plays a guiding and limiting role for the lifting rod, ensuring that the lifting rod can only slide vertically, avoiding deviation and shaking during the lifting process, and improving the accuracy and stability of the lifting rod's movement. At the same time, the through hole structure can also provide a certain degree of protection for the internal transmission part. By placing the transmission rack below the through hole, the probability of external dust and impurities entering the transmission rack is reduced, ensuring the transmission effect of the transmission rack.

[0012] Optionally, the identification and detection module includes a license plate recognition camera, a parking space pressure sensor, an ultrasonic detector, and a vehicle induction coil. The license plate recognition camera is installed at a preset position above the parking space entrance and is used to collect license plate information of entering vehicles. The parking space pressure sensor is embedded in the top of the mounting base and a preset area on the parking space floor and is used to detect the pressure signal of the vehicle on the ground. The ultrasonic detector is installed on the top of the lifting rod and is used to detect the outline and distance information of vehicles in the parking space. The vehicle induction coil is embedded below the ground at the parking space entrance and is used to sense the entry and exit status of vehicles. The license plate recognition camera, parking space pressure sensor, ultrasonic detector, and vehicle induction coil are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, a multi-dimensional parking space information collection system is constructed. License plate recognition cameras enable accurate vehicle identification, parking space pressure sensors detect whether a vehicle actually occupies a parking space and whether the parking position is compliant, ultrasonic detectors assist in judging the status of vehicles in the parking space, and vehicle induction coils quickly capture vehicle entry and exit signals. The multi-module work together to transmit the collected information to the control module for comprehensive analysis, effectively distinguishing between legal parking, illegal occupation, and false triggering scenarios, and greatly improving the accuracy of parking space occupancy status recognition.

[0014] Optionally, the communication module supports 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication methods. The communication module establishes a connection with the remote management platform through the TCP / IP protocol, and the communication module communicates with the user terminal at close range through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the communication module supports multiple communication methods to adapt to the signal transmission requirements in different scenarios: 4G / 5G communication ensures a stable long-distance connection between the device and the remote management platform, enabling real-time uploading of device operating status, reception of remote control commands, and push of abnormal information; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi meet the short-distance interaction requirements between user terminals and the device, allowing users to perform operations such as parking space reservation, unlocking application, and usage record query through mobile APP and other terminals, realizing multi-terminal linkage and improving management efficiency and user experience.

[0016] Optionally, the power supply module includes a solar panel, a lithium battery pack, and an AC power interface; the solar panel is installed on a sunshade around the parking space or on a pre-set support on the ground, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the lithium battery pack through a charging controller; the AC power interface is connected to the lithium battery pack through a transformer; the power supply module has a built-in voltage detection unit to monitor the voltage status of the lithium battery pack in real time and feed it back to the remote management platform through a communication module.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and using a power supply mode that complements solar energy and mains power, the solar panels convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the lithium battery pack, achieving green and energy-saving power supply. The mains power interface provides supplementary power supply when solar power is insufficient, such as on cloudy days or rainy or snowy days, ensuring stable operation of the device around the clock. The voltage detection unit monitors the battery voltage in real time and promptly reports low voltage status, facilitating timely maintenance by management personnel and avoiding the impact of power outages on device use.

[0018] Optionally, the mounting base is made of stainless steel in one piece, and the bottom of the mounting base is provided with expansion bolt fixing holes. The mounting base is fastened to the parking space ground by expansion bolts. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the lifting rod and the mounting base, and the surface of the license plate recognition camera of the recognition and detection module is covered with a waterproof and light-transmitting cover.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stainless steel mounting base has high strength and corrosion resistance, the one-piece molded structure enhances overall stability, and the expansion bolt fixing method ensures a firm connection between the mounting base and the ground, resisting the impact of vehicle crushing and external collisions. The waterproof sealing cover, sealing ring, and waterproof light-transmitting cover improve the overall protection performance of the device, effectively preventing rainwater, dust, and other impurities from entering the internal components, avoiding short circuits in electrical components and corrosion of mechanical structures, adapting to complex outdoor environments such as humidity, rain, and snow, and extending the service life of the device.

[0020] Optionally, an alarm module is also included, which includes an audible and visual alarm and a vibration sensor; the audible and visual alarm is installed on the top of the lifting rod, and the vibration sensor is installed on the side wall of the lifting rod and the mounting base; both the audible and visual alarm and the vibration sensor are electrically connected to the control module.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the control module determines that an illegal occupancy is detected by the identification and detection module, or when the vibration sensor detects an external impact or damage to the device, the control module immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm to emit a clear audible and visual warning signal, which serves as a warning to vehicles illegally occupying the space or vandals. At the same time, the control module pushes alarm information to the remote management platform and relevant user terminals through the communication module, which facilitates timely intervention by management personnel, reduces parking lot management losses, and improves the security and anti-theft properties of the device.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By combining multi-dimensional information collection from the detection module with comprehensive analysis from the control module, the system can accurately identify the occupancy status of parking spaces, effectively distinguish between legal and illegal occupancy scenarios, eliminate illegal occupancy, solve the problem of insufficient recognition capabilities of traditional parking locks, and improve the accuracy of parking space management. 2. Through the communication module, it supports multi-mode communication and multi-terminal linkage, enabling the remote management platform to centrally monitor and remotely control the equipment, as well as the user terminal to operate conveniently, thereby improving the intelligence and efficiency of parking space management and enhancing the user experience; 3. By linking the alarm module with each core module, timely early warning and alerts can be provided for abnormal situations such as illegal occupation of parking spaces and equipment damage, thereby enhancing the safety of the device, reducing parking lot management risks, and facilitating the refined management of parking lots.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a control and management device for identifying parking spaces and preventing them from being occupied.

The drive motor 21 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 11. A circular through hole is provided at the top of the mounting base 11, and the lifting rod 23 is vertically slidably mounted on the mounting base 11 and located within the circular through hole. The lifting rod 23 is divided into a blocking part 25 and a transmission part 26. The blocking part 25 is the upper part and slides in cooperation with the through hole. The blocking part 25 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and has an anti-corrosion coating on its surface. The transmission part 26 is the lower part and is located inside the mounting base 11. The transmission assembly 22 consists of a transmission gear 27 and a transmission rack 28. The transmission gear 27 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 21 by a key connection. The transmission rack 28 is integrally formed on the side wall of the transmission part 26 of the lifting rod 23, and the transmission rack 28 meshes with the transmission gear 27. The limit sensor 24 is a micro switch, which is installed at the upper and lower ends of the through hole inside the mounting base 11, corresponding to the lifting and lowering ends of the lifting rod 23, and is electrically connected to the control module 14.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The identification and detection module 13 includes a license plate recognition camera 31, a parking space pressure sensor 32, an ultrasonic detector 33, and a vehicle induction coil 34. The license plate recognition camera 31 is mounted on a bracket above the parking space entrance, covered with a waterproof and light-transmitting cover, and features infrared supplementary lighting for nighttime operation. Four parking space pressure sensors 32 are embedded in the ground at the corresponding positions of the front and rear wheels, with a detection accuracy of ±0.1 kg. The ultrasonic detector 33 is mounted on the top of the blocking part 25 of the lifting rod 23, with a detection angle of 120° and a detection distance of 0.1-3 m. The vehicle induction coil 34 is pre-embedded 10 cm below the ground at the parking space entrance, using copper core wire, with a sensing distance ≥0.5 m. All detection elements are electrically connected to the control module 14.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The communication module 15 is integrated next to the control module 14 inside the mounting base 11. It supports 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. The communication module 15 establishes a stable connection with the remote management platform through the TCP / IP protocol and interacts with the user terminal (mobile APP) at close range through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The power supply module 16 includes a solar panel 41, a lithium battery pack 42, an AC power interface 43, a charging controller 44, and a voltage detection unit 45. The solar panel 41 is mounted on a ground support around the parking space and connected to the lithium battery pack 42 via the charging controller 44. The AC power interface 43 is located on the side wall of the mounting base 11 and is connected to the lithium battery pack 42 via a transformer. The voltage detection unit 45 is electrically connected to the control module 14 to monitor the battery voltage in real time.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The alarm module 17 includes an audible and visual alarm 51 and a vibration sensor 52. The audible and visual alarm 51 is installed on the top of the blocking part 25 of the lifting rod 23. The vibration sensor 52 is installed on the transmission part 26 of the lifting rod 23 and the inner side wall of the mounting base 11. Both the audible and visual alarm 51 and the vibration sensor 52 are electrically connected to the control module 14.

[0033] The working principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When a vehicle enters the parking space area, the vehicle induction coil 34 first senses the vehicle signal and transmits it to the control module 14. The control module 14 immediately activates the license plate recognition camera 31, the parking space pressure sensor 32, and the ultrasonic detector 33. The license plate recognition camera 31 collects the vehicle's license plate information and transmits it to the control module 14, which compares it with the valid license plate information in the storage unit. At the same time, after the vehicle enters the parking space, the parking space pressure sensor 32 detects the pressure signal to determine whether the vehicle has fully entered and is parked legally. The ultrasonic detector 33 detects whether there is a vehicle outline in the parking space.

[0034] If the license plate information is successfully matched, and both the parking space pressure sensor 32 and the ultrasonic detector 33 confirm that the vehicle is legally occupied, the control module 14 sends a reverse command to the drive motor 21. The drive motor 21 drives the transmission gear 27 to rotate. Through the meshing of the transmission gear 27 and the transmission rack 28, the lifting rod 23 slides down along the through hole. When the bottom of the transmission part 26 of the lifting rod 23 triggers the lower limit sensor 24, the control module 14 cuts off the motor power, the lifting rod 23 stops descending, the parking space passage opens, and the vehicle can be parked normally. At the same time, the control module 14 uploads the parking space occupancy status to the remote management platform through the communication module 15 and synchronizes it to the user terminal.

[0035] If the license plate information does not match, or illegal occupation is detected (such as a vehicle without a license plate occupying the vehicle, or a legal vehicle occupying the vehicle for an extended period of time), the control module 14 will not send a lowering command, but will trigger the audible and visual alarm 51 to issue an audible and visual warning. If the vibration sensor 52 detects an external impact on the device, the control module 14 will immediately push alarm information to the remote management platform and the user terminals of relevant management personnel through the communication module 15.

[0036] When a legal vehicle leaves, the vehicle induction coil 34 detects the vehicle's departure, the pressure of the parking space pressure sensor 32 disappears, the ultrasonic detector 33 detects that the parking space is vacant, and after receiving the signal, the control module 14 delays for 5 seconds (to avoid accidental triggering by temporary parking) and sends a forward rotation command to the drive motor 21. The lifting rod 23 rises, and when the upper limit sensor 24 is triggered, the drive motor 21 stops, the lifting rod 23 locks the parking space, and the control module 14 updates the parking space status and uploads it to the management platform.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
