DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.

[0030] This embodiment relates to a parking lock control system of a video probe, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes: a server 100, a video probe 200 and a parking lock 300;

[0031] The parking lock 300 is fixedly mounted on the parking space, and the parking space is managed by opening and closing the parking lock 300. A vehicle can enter the parking space smoothly only when the parking lock 300 is opened. The parking lock 300 can be of various types, such as O-type, K-type, or T-type, and this application does not limit this. The video probe 200 is arranged above or around the parking space to monitor the parking space and the parking lock 300. A wireless communication module 400 is provided on the video probe 200, and the parking lock 300 is also provided with a wireless communication module 400. The video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 are connected by signals through the wireless communication module 400, so that the video probe 200 can receive control instructions from the server 100 and transmit the control instructions to the parking lock 300 through the wireless communication module 400, thereby realizing the server 100's control over the parking lock 300; the parking lock 300 can also transmit the status information of the parking lock 300 to the video probe 200 through the wireless communication module 400, and then upload it to the server 100, so that users or managers can directly understand the status of the parking lock 300 from the server 100 and manage the parking space and the parking lock 300.

[0032] The signal connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 is achieved through the wireless communication module 400. The video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 do not need to be connected by cables, which makes the installation of the control system simpler. The installation of the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 is more flexible and adaptable to different types of parking spaces. At the same time, it is convenient for the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 to be maintained separately to reduce maintenance costs.

[0033] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 400 includes a first communication unit 410 and a second communication unit 420. Signal connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 can be established through any of the communication units in the wireless communication module 400. This allows the control system to establish a signal connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 through the other communication unit if one of the communication units fails or is in a poor operating environment. This ensures the stability of the signal connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 and ensures the normal operation of the control system. As a preferred embodiment, the first communication unit 410 is configured as a Bluetooth unit and the second communication unit 420 is configured as a 433 wireless unit. The first communication unit 410 and the second communication unit 420 use different types of communication units to prevent simultaneous interference between the two communication units, which could lead to a signal interruption between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 and affect the stability of the control system. Of course, in other embodiments, the first communication unit 410 and the second communication unit 420 may also use other types of communication units to achieve a good signal connection effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 400 further includes a frequency modulation unit 430, which is electrically connected to a wireless unit 433. The frequency modulation unit 430 is configured to adjust the communication frequency band of the wireless unit 433, so that the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 are connected via the communication frequency band adjusted by the wireless unit 433 to transmit instructions and information. This effectively prevents external signals from interfering with the communication of the wireless unit 433, thereby preventing the connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300 from malfunctioning or being interrupted. During the initial setting, the video probe 200 generates a specified extended communication frequency band based on its own device IP. The video probe 200 can be connected through the default communication frequency band of the 433 wireless unit, and then the required extended communication frequency band is sent to the parking lock 300. The parking lock 300 can add the specified extended communication frequency band to the 433 wireless unit on the parking lock 300 through the frequency modulation unit 430. The 433 wireless unit can switch between the default communication frequency band and the extended communication frequency band to realize the signal connection between the video probe 200 and the parking lock 300, enhance the anti-interference capability of the wireless communication module 400, and improve the stability of the control system.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the video probe 200 includes a probe MCU 210, a camera 220, an image processing module 230, and a wireless communication module 400. The camera 220, the image processing module 230, and the wireless communication module 400 are all electrically connected to the probe MCU 210. The camera 220 faces the parking space to monitor the parking space and the parking lock 300. The camera 220 is connected to the probe MCU 210 and can upload the monitoring video captured by the camera 220 to the server 100 for user viewing and acquisition. The image processing module 230 is electrically connected to the camera 220 and can process the video captured by the camera 220 to analyze the status of the parking space and the status of the parking lock 300, and transmit the analysis results to the probe MCU 210 to upload to the server 100 for user viewing, or transmit to the parking lock 300 to send instructions for locking and unlocking the parking lock 300.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the video probe 200 further includes an LED indicator 240, which is electrically connected to the probe MCU 210. After the probe MCU 210 receives the analysis result of the image processing module 230, the LED indicator 240 displays the status of the parking space on the display module. This makes it easy for users to observe and find vacant parking spaces and for staff to find abnormal parking spaces. The LED indicator 240 uses different light colors to indicate different parking space states and parking lock 300 states, which has the advantages of intuitive display, high recognition, and low cost. Of course, in other embodiments, other types of display devices, such as display screens, can also be provided to display the status of the parking space and the parking lock 300 state.

[0037] As a preferred solution, the parking space lock 300 includes: a car lock MCU310, an electric lock body 320, a vehicle detection module and a wireless communication module 400; the electric lock body 320, the lock body status detection module and the wireless communication module 400 are all electrically connected to the car lock MCU310. The vehicle detection module is commonly used to detect the condition of the parking space and transmit the detection information to the car lock MCU310 to analyze the status of the parking space, so as to avoid the electric lock body 320 being raised when there is a vehicle in the parking space, causing damage to the vehicle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vehicle detection module includes a first detection module 330 and a second detection module 340. The vehicle lock MCU 310 uses these two detection modules to comprehensively analyze the parking space status, resulting in a higher accuracy rate for determining the parking space status, and a better safety and user experience for the parking lock 300 control system. The probe MCU 210 determines that the parking space status is occupied only when both the first detection module 330 and the second detection module 340 detect a vehicle in the parking space. The probe MCU 210 determines that the parking space status is occupied only when both the first detection module 330 and the second detection module 340 detect no vehicle in the parking space. Furthermore, the MCU determines that the parking space status is abnormal only when the detection results from the first detection module 330 and the second detection module 340 disagree. This ensures the accuracy of the vehicle detection module. As a preferred solution, the first detection module 330 is configured as a millimeter-wave radar, and the second detection module 340 is configured as an ultrasonic radar. Using different radar types for the first detection module 330 and the second detection module 340 can prevent erroneous parking space status judgments due to interference or poor usage of one radar type. To improve the detection accuracy of the control system of the parking lock 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the first detection module 330 and the second detection module 340 can also adopt other types of detection devices to achieve good detection effects.

[0039] In this embodiment, the server 100 includes: a central processing unit 110, a memory 120 and a communication interface 130. The communication interface 130 and the central processing unit 110 are both electrically connected to the memory 120, and the video probe 200 is connected to the server 100 through the communication interface 130. As a preferred solution, it also includes: a cloud service platform 500. The server 100 is connected to the cloud service platform 500 to upload the status of the parking space and the status information of the parking lock 300 to the cloud service platform 500. The parking lock 300 can also be instructed by the cloud service platform 500, making the control system more efficient and convenient. The video probe 200 is connected to the server 100 through the TCP / IP protocol. The connection stability between the video probe 200 and the server 100.
