Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of parking lock structures, in particular to a parking lock with dual cameras. Background Art

[0002] Parking lock is a mechanical device used to control the parking space of motor vehicles. Its main function is to prevent non-designated vehicles from parking in the parking space. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in the number of cars, parking space resources are becoming increasingly scarce and the problem of parking difficulties is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, parking locks, as an important tool for managing parking resources, are increasingly widely used in urban parking management.

[0003] Common parking lock locking methods include key locking and remote control locking. For example, a parking lock disclosed in the patent document with announcement number CN211872743U uses a key locking and unlocking method, but this type of parking lock requires the owner to manually unlock and unlock, which is cumbersome to operate and is time-consuming when driving or parking, which is extremely inconvenient. For example, a parking lock provided in the patent document with announcement number CN209114376U uses a remote control locking and unlocking method, but the owner occasionally forgets to bring the remote control, resulting in an inability to unlock, or leaves the remote control in the car, and the owner needs to get out of the car to unlock and check whether it is unlocked in place. Although it is a significant improvement compared to key locking, there is still room for upgrading and optimization.

[0004] In addition, even if parking locks are installed, some private vehicles may still forcefully park due to omission or intentional reasons, which may eventually lead to accidents and disputes with parking management parties, parking space owners, etc. Therefore, it is usually necessary to set up security monitoring for parking spaces to record parking locks and the environment around parking spaces to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of parking space owners.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a parking lock with dual cameras to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention
