Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of parking lot charging, in particular to a parking lot charging device. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the dramatic increase in the number of motor vehicles, parking difficulties and chaotic parking management have become increasingly prominent. Parking fee evasion is particularly serious, causing significant financial losses and management challenges for parking lot operators. Traditional parking fee collection systems rely on ground sensors to detect vehicle entry and exit and control vehicle access through gates. However, this ground-sensing charging method has significant limitations, especially during peak hours or when there is a high volume of traffic, where fee evasion is particularly evident.

[0003] Specifically, the working principle of a traditional ground-sensing control system is that when a vehicle enters or exits a parking lot, the ground-sensing coil senses the magnetic field changes of the vehicle's metal parts, triggering the gate to open or close. However, in actual use, if the vehicle ahead has paid and the gate is about to close, and the following vehicle passes quickly, the gate may not close in time due to the limited sensing range of the ground-sensing coil and the gate's reaction speed. This allows the following vehicle to pass through without paying, thereby evading the fee. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a parking lot charging device, comprising: an embedded seat; a charging gate, installed on the embedded seat, for automatically identifying vehicles and collecting parking fees; an anti-escape mechanism, installed on the embedded seat and connected to the charging gate, the anti-escape mechanism is used to prevent vehicles from evading fees; the anti-escape mechanism includes a vehicle stopper, the vehicle stopper is connected to the embedded seat, and is configured to rotate when a vehicle passes by due to being squeezed twice by the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, and lock the position after two rotations, so as to prevent subsequent vehicles from following the vehicle and evading fees.

[0005] It also includes: a square groove, which is opened on the top of the embedded seat, and the car stopper is connected in the square groove. The car stopper is configured to be squeezed and rotated in the square groove when a vehicle passes by.

[0006] The anti-toll evasion mechanism also includes: a fixed seat connected to the bottom of the car stopper; a movable seat connected to the bottom wall of the square groove; and a connecting plate installed between the fixed seat and the movable seat, which is used to drive the connecting plate and the movable seat to move through the fixed seat when the car stopper rotates.

[0007] The anti-toll evasion mechanism also includes: an elastic member, one end of which is connected to the movable seat and the other end is connected to the side wall of the square groove. The elastic member is used to automatically restore the movable seat to its initial position when the vehicle stopper is not squeezed.

[0008] It also includes: a limiting part, which is installed in the square groove and is used to limit the position of the movable seat in the square groove.

[0009] The limiting part includes: a groove, which is opened on the bottom wall of the square groove; a limiting seat, which is connected in the groove and is configured to move upward and limit the position of the movable seat after the car stopper rotates twice in the square groove; a power source, which is connected in the groove, and the power shaft of the power source is connected to the limiting seat to provide moving power for the limiting seat.

[0010] The limiting seat includes: a sensor installed on the top of the limiting seat, which is used to sense the moving state of the moving seat.

[0011] It also includes: a sensing part connected in the square groove, which is used to detect the number of times the moving seat moves.

[0012] It also includes: a power generation unit installed in the embedded seat, the power generation unit is connected to the vehicle stopper, and is used to convert mechanical energy generated by the vehicle squeezing the vehicle stopper into electrical energy.

[0013] The present invention provides a parking lot fee collection device. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following beneficial effects: through the design of the car blocker, the vehicle must be squeezed twice by the front and rear wheels of the vehicle before the car blocker can be rotated and locked in position, which effectively prevents the situation where the rear car follows the front car to evade the fee. Even during peak hours or when there are many vehicles, it can ensure that each vehicle must go through the payment process separately, greatly reducing the possibility of evading the fee. Unlike the traditional system that simply relies on the ground sensor coil and the reaction speed of the gate machine, the car blocker design of this solution is more direct and mechanical, and its locking action is almost not limited by the reaction speed of the gate machine. Once the vehicle completes two squeezes, the car blocker is immediately locked, which provides sufficient time for the gate bar to close and reduces the space for evading the fee. Combined with the design of the limit part and the sensing part, the number of movements of the mobile seat can be monitored in real time, and the precise control of the locking position of the car blocker can be achieved through the cooperation of the sensor and the power source. This not only improves the reliability of the system, but also makes it easier for management personnel to monitor and manage the parking lot fee collection. The vehicle blocker and anti-evasion mechanism in this solution are designed to be relatively independent and can be flexibly installed in the existing parking fee collection system for upgrading and transformation. The mechanical structure and intelligent sensing technology it adopts also have high stability and durability and can adapt to various complex usage environments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-6, a parking fee collection device, comprising: an embedded seat 1; a toll gate 2, mounted on the embedded seat 1, for automatically identifying vehicles and collecting parking fees; an anti-escape mechanism 4, mounted on the embedded seat 1, connected to the toll gate 2, the anti-escape mechanism 4 for preventing vehicles from escaping fees; the anti-escape mechanism 4 comprises a car stopper 401, which is connected to the embedded seat 1 and is configured to rotate when a vehicle passes by being squeezed twice by the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, and to lock the position after rotating twice, for preventing subsequent vehicles from following the vehicle and escaping fees; a square groove 3, which is opened at the top of the embedded seat 1, the car stopper 401 is connected in the square groove 3, and the car stopper 401 is configured to rotate in the square groove 3 when being squeezed when a vehicle passes; a fixed seat 402, connected to the bottom of the car stopper 401; a movable The movable seat 403 is connected to the bottom wall of the square groove 3; the connecting plate 404 is installed between the fixed seat 402 and the movable seat 403, and is used to drive the connecting plate 404 and the movable seat 403 to move through the fixed seat 402 when the car stopper 401 rotates; the elastic member 405 is connected to the movable seat 403 at one end and to the side wall of the square groove 3 at the other end. The elastic member 405 is used to automatically restore the movable seat 403 to its initial position when the car stopper 401 is not squeezed. The elastic member 405 is connected between the movable seat 403 and the side wall of the square groove 3 to ensure that the car stopper 401 can automatically restore to its initial position when it is not squeezed by the vehicle, ready for the next vehicle to pass the inspection, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the device. The elastic member 405 is made of spring or elastic rubber.

[0023] Through the unique design of the car blocker 401, the vehicle must pass through the toll gate 2 to scan the license plate and pay the fee before the car blocker 401 can be unlocked. When the vehicle passes, the front and rear wheels squeeze the car blocker 401 twice to rotate twice and then automatically lock the position. This mechanism effectively prevents the situation where the rear car follows the front car and evades the fee. That is, the rear car takes advantage of the gap when the front car has paid to pass quickly, avoiding the loss of parking fees. Even if the rear car follows the car closely, the car blocker 401 can be quickly locked after the rear wheels of the front car squeeze it, so that the evading car cannot pass through the toll gate 2, providing time for the gate bar on the toll gate 2 to reset and fall.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6, the limiting portion 6 is installed in the square groove 3, and is used to limit the position of the movable seat 403 in the square groove 3; the limiting portion 6 includes: a groove 604, which is opened in the bottom wall of the square groove 3; a limiting seat 601, which is connected in the groove 604 and is configured to move the limiting seat 601 upward and limit the position of the movable seat 403 after the car stopper 401 rotates twice in the square groove 3; a power source 602, which is connected in the groove 604, and the power shaft of the power source 602 is connected to the limiting seat 601, and is used to provide moving power for the limiting seat 601. Through the design of the limiting portion 6, especially the limiting seat 601 and The combination of the power source 602 realizes the precise control of the position of the mobile seat 403. When the car stopper 401 completes two rotations, the mobile seat 403 will also follow the displacement twice. After the sensing part 7 detects the two movements of the mobile seat 403, it will send a signal to the power source 602. When the sensor 603 detects that the mobile seat 403 moves from above the limit part 6, the limit seat 601 will rise in time and limit the position of the mobile seat 403 to ensure that the car stopper 401 is locked in time, which not only ensures the realization of the anti-evasion function, but also avoids damage to the device caused by excessive movement.

[0025] Reference Figure 6 The limiting seat 601 includes: a sensor 603 installed on the top of the limiting seat 601, used to sense the moving state of the moving seat 403.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sensing part 7 is connected in the square groove 3 and is used to detect the number of movements of the mobile seat 403. The sensor 603 installed on the limit seat 601 can monitor the movement status of the mobile seat 403 in real time and provide immediate feedback information for the system. At the same time, the setting of the sensing part 7 can accurately record the number of movements of the mobile seat 403, further enhancing the intelligence of the system and making it easier for management personnel to monitor and manage the parking lot charges. The sensor 603 adopts an infrared sensor 603, and a displacement sensor 603 can also be used. The sensing part 7 adopts a pressure sensor 603, and a contact sensor 603 can also be used.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The power generation unit 5 is installed in the embedded seat 1. The power generation unit 5 is connected to the car stopper 401 and is used to convert the mechanical energy generated by the vehicle squeezing the car stopper 401 into electrical energy. By converting the mechanical energy generated by the vehicle squeezing the car stopper 401 into electrical energy, partial energy recovery is achieved, reducing dependence on external power supply.

[0028] During use, when a vehicle enters the parking lot, it first approaches the toll gate 2. The toll gate 2 uses the license plate recognition system to automatically identify the vehicle's license plate and compare it with the parking lot management system to confirm whether the vehicle has paid or needs to pay. If the vehicle has paid or meets the free passage conditions, the toll gate 2 automatically opens the gate bar to let the vehicle pass. If the vehicle has not paid, the toll gate 2 remains closed and the anti-escape mechanism is activated. After the vehicle pays, the toll gate 2 opens. When the vehicle passes through the toll gate 2, the front wheels first contact the blocker 401, and the blocker 401 is affected by the front wheels. After the wheel is squeezed, it rotates in the square groove 3 and drives the movable seat 403 to move on the bottom wall of the square groove 3 through the fixed seat 402 and the connecting plate 404. The elastic member 405 begins to be stretched, and the movable seat 403 contacts the sensing part 7 and records the first movement of the movable seat 403. The vehicle continues to move forward. At this time, the elastic member 405 drives the movable seat 403 to reset. When the rear wheel squeezes the stopper 401 again, the stopper 401 rotates for the second time and drives the movable seat 403 to move again through the same mechanism. At this time, the sensing part 7 detects the second movement of the movable seat 403 and sends the signal The signal is sent to the control system. When the sensing part 7 confirms that the moving seat 403 has completed two movements, it sends a signal to the power source 602. After receiving the signal, the power source 602 starts and drives the limit seat 601 to move upward in the groove 604. The sensor 603 on the limit seat 601 monitors the position of the moving seat 403 in real time. Once it detects that the moving seat 403 passes under the limit seat 601, the limit seat 601 rises quickly and locks the position of the moving seat 403. Due to the locking effect of the limit seat 601, the moving seat 403 and the car stopper 401 are fixed at a specific position. After the parking lot management system confirms the payment, it sends a signal to the toll gate 2 to unlock the car blocker 401 and open the gate bar to let the vehicle pass. After the vehicle passes, the car blocker 401 automatically returns to its initial position under the action of the elastic member 405, and prepares for the next vehicle passing detection.

[0029] In summary, compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: through the design of the car stopper 401, the vehicle must be squeezed twice by the front and rear wheels of the vehicle before the car stopper 401 can be rotated and locked in position, which effectively prevents the situation where the rear vehicle follows the front vehicle to evade the fee. Even during peak hours or when there are many vehicles, it can ensure that each vehicle must go through the payment process separately, greatly reducing the possibility of evading the fee. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on the ground sensor coil and the reaction speed of the gate, the car stopper 401 of this solution is more direct and mechanical. Its locking action is almost not limited by the reaction speed of the gate. Once the vehicle completes the two squeezes, the car stopper 401 is immediately locked, providing sufficient time for the gate bar to close and reducing the space for evading the fee. Combined with the design of the limit part 6 and the sensing part 7, the number of movements of the movable seat 403 can be monitored in real time, and the precise control of the locking position of the car stopper 401 can be achieved through the cooperation of the sensor 603 and the power source 602. This not only improves the reliability of the system, but also makes it easier for management personnel to monitor and manage the parking lot charges. The vehicle blocker 401 and the anti-evasion mechanism 4 in this solution are designed to be relatively independent and can be flexibly installed in the existing parking fee collection system for upgrading and transformation. The mechanical structure and intelligent sensing technology it adopts also have high stability and durability and can adapt to various complex usage environments.
