Obviously, the embodiments described 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 creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a parking guidance system 1000, comprising: a parking lock 100, a parking monitoring device 200, a mobile terminal 300, and a cloud server 400. The parking lock 100 is fixedly mounted on a parking space (not shown in the figure). Specifically, at least one parking lock 100 can be installed in each parking space. The parking monitoring device 200 is disposed above or around the parking space and is in communication with the parking lock 100 and the cloud server 400 to monitor the parking space status and send the parking space status to the cloud server 400. Specifically, the parking monitoring device 200 can be in communication with the parking lock 100 and the cloud server 400 via a wired connection or a wireless connection. For example, the parking monitoring device 200 can be in communication with the parking lock 100 via Bluetooth and with the cloud server 400 via the TCP / IP protocol. The mobile terminal 300 is in communication with the cloud server 400 to obtain parking space status information and reserve a parking space. Specifically, the mobile terminal 300 can be connected to the cloud server 400 through 3G, 4G or 5G. The cloud server 400 controls the locking or locking of the parking lock 100 through the parking space monitoring device 200. Specifically, when the parking space monitoring device 200 detects that the reserved vehicle is approaching the reserved parking space, it sends a parking space arrival instruction to the cloud server 400; the cloud server 400 sends a locking instruction to the parking space monitoring device 200; and the parking space monitoring device 200 controls the parking lock 100 to lock. Specifically, the signal sending, transmission and control method of the parking space monitoring device 200 sending the parking space arrival instruction to the cloud server 400, the cloud server 400 sending the locking instruction to the parking space monitoring device 200, and the parking space monitoring device 200 controlling the parking lock 100 to lock belong to the existing technology, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0038] As will be appreciated, when the user leaves the parking space, the parking monitoring device 200 can control the parking lock 100 to lock and transmit parking space status information to the cloud server 400, which then updates the parking space status. Specifically, the methods by which the parking monitoring device 200 controls the parking lock 100 to lock, transmits parking space status information to the cloud server 400, and updates the parking space status by the cloud server 400 are conventional techniques and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0039] The parking guidance system 1000 includes a server, a parking lock 100 fixed to the parking space; a parking monitoring device 200 located above or around the parking space and communicating with the parking lock 100 and a cloud server 400 for monitoring parking space status; a mobile terminal 300 communicating with the cloud server 400 for obtaining parking space status information and reserving parking spaces; and the cloud server 400 controlling the locking and unlocking of the parking lock 100 via the parking monitoring device 200. This allows the parking monitoring device 200 to monitor parking space occupancy in real time, while users can obtain parking space status information and reserve parking spaces via the mobile terminal 300. The server can then control the locking and unlocking of the parking lock 100 via the parking monitoring device 200 based on the parking space status and vehicle information monitored by the parking monitoring device 200 and the reservation information received from the mobile terminal 300. This provides the parking guidance system 1000 with the advantages of real-time monitoring of parking space occupancy, convenient user access to parking space information, and convenient management and control of parking space status.

[0040] Alternatively, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the parking lock 100 includes an electronic control unit 110 and a rocker arm mechanical unit 120. The rocker arm mechanical unit 120 is connected to the electronic control unit 110. The parking space monitoring device 200 is communicatively connected to the electronic control unit 110 and is used to control the movement of the rocker arm mechanical unit 120 to achieve locking or locking of the parking lock 100. Optionally, the electronic control unit 110 can control the rocker arm mechanical unit 120 to stand up to achieve locking of the parking lock 100, and control the rocker arm mechanical unit 120 to lower to achieve locking of the parking lock 100. Specifically, the electronic control unit 110 can be connected as a controller, and the rocker arm mechanical unit 120 can include a drive motor 121, a transmission mechanism 122 and a rocker arm 123. Optionally, the parking space monitoring device 200 and the electronic control unit 110 are communicatively connected via Bluetooth. In this way, the parking space monitoring device 200 sends an unlocking command or a locking command to the electronic control unit 110, which then controls the locking or closing of the rocker arm mechanical unit 120. Furthermore, after the state of the electronic control unit 110 changes, it also sends a corresponding state change signal to the parking space monitoring device 200, so that the parking space monitoring device 200 can feedback the parking space state to the cloud server 400.

[0041] Alternatively, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the parking space monitoring device 200 is a probe or a camera. Specifically, the probe can be an infrared probe or an ultrasonic probe. In this way, the parking space guidance system 1000 can monitor the occupancy of parking spaces in real time through infrared, ultrasonic or visual monitoring.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment, the parking space monitoring device 200 is configured above the parking space with an adjustable angle via a pan / tilt platform (not shown in the figure). In this way, one parking space monitoring device 200 can monitor the occupancy of multiple parking spaces at the same time, saving costs.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, the mobile terminal 300 is a smart phone, tablet computer, wearable device or vehicle-mounted smart terminal, which can obtain parking space status information, reserve parking spaces and pay parking fees through an APP or WeChat public account.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the mobile terminal 300 is configured to transmit real-time location information to the cloud server 400, which controls the locking or locking of the parking lock 100 based on the location information of the mobile terminal 300. Specifically, the mobile terminal 300 may display its location through GPS, GPRS, or Beidou positioning, and transmit the location information to the cloud server 400 via 3G, 4G, or 5G. The cloud server 400 transmits an unlocking or locking command to the parking monitoring device 200 when the reserved vehicle approaches or leaves the parking space according to the mobile terminal 300, and the parking monitoring device 200 controls the locking or locking of the parking lock 100.

[0045] Alternatively, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cloud server 400 includes a central processing unit 410, a memory 420, and a communication interface 430. The central processing unit 410 is used to receive, process, send, and update parking space status information, location information, vehicle information, parking fee information, and reserved parking space information. The memory 420 is used to store parking space status information, location information, vehicle information, parking fee information, and reserved parking space information. The central processing unit 410 and the memory 420 are electrically connected, and the parking space monitoring device 200 and the mobile terminal 300 are both communicatively connected to the central processing unit 410 via the communication interface 430. In this way, information transmission, reception, and processing can be realized between the parking space lock 100, the parking space monitoring device 200, the mobile terminal 300, and the cloud server 400 to achieve the management and control of the parking space status of the parking lot.

[0046] In order to help users quickly find the reserved parking space, please refer to Figure 1In this embodiment, the parking guidance system 1000 further includes a parking guidance display screen 500 and a parking indicator light 600.

In this way, the parking guidance display screen 500 and the parking indicator light 600 can display corresponding parking guidance information based on the parking guidance signal sent from the cloud server 400. For example, the parking indicator light 600 above the reserved parking space displays green, while the parking indicator light 600 above the non-reserved parking space displays red. The parking guidance display screen 500 displays the direction of vehicle travel using arrows, which is not specifically limited here.

[0047] In order to facilitate users to quickly understand whether there are vacant parking spaces in the parking lot, to avoid wasting time because users find out that there are no vacant parking spaces after entering the parking lot. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the parking space guidance system 1000 also includes a remaining parking space display screen 700 that is configured at the entrance of the parking lot and is communicatively connected to the cloud server 400.
