[0006] The parking space detection module is electrically connected to the single-chip computer module. The parking space detection module includes an infrared transmitting end, an infrared receiving end, and a voltage comparator. The negative input end of the voltage comparator is connected to the infrared receiving end, and the positive input end of the voltage comparator is connected to a sliding resistor. When the voltage at the positive input end of the voltage comparator is greater than the voltage at the negative input end, the voltage comparator outputs a high level, and the single-chip computer module determines that the parking space is occupied. When the voltage at the positive input end of the voltage comparator is less than the voltage at the negative input end, the voltage comparator outputs a low level, and the single-chip computer module determines that the parking space is vacant.

[0007] The digital tube display module is electrically connected to the single chip module, and the digital tube display module includes two "8"-shaped LED digital tubes, one of which is used to display the lane, and the other is used to display the number of parking spaces;

[0008] The buzzer alarm module is electrically connected to the single chip computer module. When it detects that the parking space is full, the single chip computer module will start the buzzer to alarm.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a parking patrol guide device includes: a single-chip microcomputer module, a parking space detection module, a digital tube display module, a buzzer alarm module, and a power supply module, wherein:

[0033] The single chip microcomputer module includes a single chip microcomputer body, a crystal oscillator unit and a reset unit;

[0034] The parking space detection module is electrically connected to the single-chip computer module. The parking space detection module includes an infrared transmitting end, an infrared receiving end, and a voltage comparator. The negative input end of the voltage comparator is connected to the infrared receiving end, and the positive input end of the voltage comparator is connected to a sliding resistor. When the voltage at the positive input end of the voltage comparator is greater than the voltage at the negative input end, the voltage comparator outputs a high level, and the single-chip computer module determines that the parking space is occupied. When the voltage at the positive input end of the voltage comparator is less than the voltage at the negative input end, the voltage comparator outputs a low level, and the single-chip computer module determines that the parking space is vacant.

[0035] The digital tube display module is electrically connected to the single chip module, and the digital tube display module includes two "8"-shaped LED digital tubes, one of which is used to display the lane, and the other is used to display the number of parking spaces;

[0036] The buzzer alarm module is electrically connected to the single-chip computer module. When it detects that the parking space is full, the single-chip computer module will start the buzzer to alarm;

[0039] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the model of the single chip microcomputer body is STC89C52. STC89C52 pin description:

[0040] VCC (40 pin): power supply voltage

[0041] VSS (20 pin): Ground

[0042] Port 0: Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain, bidirectional I / O port. As an output port, each bit can drive 8 TTL logic levels. Writing a "1" to port 0 acts as a high-impedance input. Port 0 also multiplexes the lower 8 bits of address / data when accessing external program and data memory. In this mode, port 0 has an internal pull-up resistor. Port 0 is also used to receive instruction bytes during flash programming and output instruction bytes during program verification. External pull-up resistors are required for program verification.

[0043] Port 1: Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I / O port with internal pull-up resistors. The output buffer of port 1 is capable of driving four TTL logic levels. When a "1" is written to port 1, the internal pull-up resistor pulls the port high, making it usable as an input. When used as an input, a pin pulled low externally will output current (IIL) due to the internal resistor.

[0044] In addition, P1.0 and P1.2 are used as the external count input (P1.0 / T2) and trigger input (P1.1 / T2EX) of Timer / Counter 2, respectively, as shown in the table below. During flash programming and verification, port P1 receives the lower 8 bits of the address byte.

[0045] Table 2-1 P1.0 and P1.1 pin multiplexing functions

[0046]

[0047] Pin number second function

[0048] P1.0 T2 (external count input of timer / counter T2), clock output

[0049] P1.1 T2EX (capture / reload trigger signal and direction control of timer / counter T2)

[0050] P1.5 MOSI (for online system programming)

[0051] P1.6 MISO (for online system programming)

[0052] P1.7 SCK (for online system programming)

[0053] Port 2: Port 2 is an 8-bit bidirectional I / O port with internal pull-up resistors. The P2 output buffer can drive four TTL logic levels. When a "1" is written to the P2 port, the internal pull-up resistor pulls the port high, making it usable as an input. When used as an input, a pin pulled low externally will output current (IIL) due to the internal resistor.

[0054] When accessing external program memory or reading external data memory using a 16-bit address (for example, executing MOVX@DPTR), port P2 sends the upper eight bits of the address. In this application, port P2 uses a strong internal pull-up to transmit a 1. When accessing external data memory using an 8-bit address (for example, MOVX@RI), port P2 outputs the contents of the P2 latch. Port P2 also receives the upper eight bits of the address byte and some control signals during flash programming and verification.

[0055] Port 3: Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional I / O port with internal pull-up resistors. The P3 output buffer can drive four TTL logic levels. When a "1" is written to the P3 port, the internal pull-up resistor pulls the port high, making it usable as an input. When used as an input, a pin pulled low externally will output current (IIL) due to the internal resistor. Port 3 also serves as a special function (secondary function) of the STC89C52, as shown in the table below. Port 3 also receives control signals during flash programming and verification.

[0056] In addition to being a general I / O port, the P3 port also has other multiplexing functions:

[0057] Table 2-2P3 port pin multiplexing function

[0058]

[0059] RST——Reset input. When the oscillator is working, a high level of more than two machine cycles on the RST pin will reset the microcontroller.

[0060] ALE / PROG - When accessing external program memory or data memory, the ALE (Address Latch Enable) output pulse latches the lower 8 bits of the address. Normally, ALE still outputs a fixed pulse signal at 1 / 6 the clock oscillator frequency, so it can be used for external clock output or timing purposes. Note that an ALE pulse is skipped whenever accessing external data memory.

[0061] This pin is also used to input the programming pulse (PROG) during FLASH memory programming. If necessary, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit D0 in location 8EH in the Special Function Register (SFR) area. With this bit set, only a MOVX or MOVC instruction can activate ALE. Furthermore, this pin is weakly pulled high; the ALE disable bit should be disabled when the microcontroller is executing an external program.

[0062] PSEN - Program Store Enable (PSEN) output is the read select signal of the external program memory. When the STC89C52 fetches instructions (or data) from the external program memory, PSEN is valid twice per machine cycle, that is, two pulses are output. During this period, when accessing the external data memory, the PSEN signal will be skipped twice.

[0063] EA / VPP—External access is enabled. To allow the CPU to access only the external program memory (addresses 0000H-FFFFH), the EA pin must be held low (connected to ground). Note: If the security bit LB1 is programmed, the EA pin state is internally latched during reset. If the EA pin is high (connected to Vcc), the CPU executes instructions from the internal program memory.

[0064] In some embodiments, the crystal oscillator unit (i.e., crystal oscillator circuit) is used to provide an operating signal pulse to the microcontroller. This pulse represents the operating speed of the microcontroller. For example, a 12 MHz crystal oscillator indicates that the microcontroller's operating speed is 12 Mbps.

[0065] In some embodiments, the reset unit is used to reset and restart the single-chip microcomputer when an error occurs in the operation of the single-chip microcomputer body.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the voltage comparator is of the model LM339. The LM339 (quad differential comparator) is a common integrated circuit that has four independent voltage comparators installed inside a voltage comparator chip. It is mainly used in high-voltage digital logic gate circuits. The LM339 can be used to easily form various voltage comparator circuits and oscillator circuits. The LM339 can be used to form a single-limit comparator, a hysteresis comparator, a dual-limit comparator (window comparator), an oscillator, etc. The LM339 can also be used to form high-voltage digital logic gate circuits and can be directly interfaced with TTL and CMOS circuits.

[0067] Features of LM339 voltage comparator

[0068] (1) The voltage offset is small, generally 2mV;

[0069] (2) The common mode range is very large, from 0V to the power supply voltage minus 1.5V;

[0070] (3) It has a wide limit on the internal resistance of the comparison signal source;

[0071] (4) LM339 has a wide VCC voltage range, 2-36V for single power supply and ±1V-±18V for dual power supply;

[0072] (5) The output terminal potential can be selected flexibly and conveniently.

[0073] The LM339 is similar to an operational amplifier with fixed gain. Each comparator has two inputs and one output. One input is called the non-inverting input, denoted by "+," and the other is called the inverting input, denoted by "-." When comparing two voltages, a fixed voltage (also called the threshold level, which can be selected at any point within the LM339's common-mode input range) is applied to one input, serving as a reference voltage. The other input is applied to the signal voltage to be compared. When the voltage at the "+" terminal is higher than the "-" terminal, the output transistor is cut off, effectively opening the output. When the voltage at the "-" terminal is higher than the "+" terminal, the output transistor is saturated, effectively connecting the output to a low potential. A voltage difference of at least 10mV between the two inputs ensures reliable output transitions from one state to the other. Therefore, the LM339 is ideal for applications such as weak signal detection. The LM339's output is equivalent to a transistor without a collector resistor. A pull-up resistor (3-15K) is typically connected from the output to the positive power supply. Choosing pull-up resistors of different values ​​will affect the output high voltage level. This is because when the output transistor is cut off, its collector voltage depends primarily on the pull-up resistor and the load value. Furthermore, the outputs of the comparators can be connected together.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown in FIG8 , in some embodiments, the LED digital tube displays lanes in the following manner:

[0075] When the two LED digital tubes on the left and the one in the middle light up, it represents the left lane;

[0076] When the middle LED digital tube lights up, it represents the middle lane;

[0077] When the two right and one middle LED digital tubes light up, it represents the right lane.

[0078] A digital tube, also known as an LED digital tube, is commonly shaped like an "8" and has eight segments. In a common cathode LED digital tube, the cathodes of the LEDs are connected together, usually to ground. When the anode of a particular LED is at a high level, the LED lights up, and the corresponding segment is displayed. Similarly, in a common anode LED digital tube, the anodes of the LEDs are connected together, usually to a positive voltage. When the cathode of a particular LED is at a low level, the LED lights up, and the corresponding segment is displayed.

[0079] To display different symbols and numbers on an LED display, certain segments of the LEDs are illuminated. This provides the LED display with a code that displays different fonts. The LED display has eight segments. Therefore, the segment code provided to the LED display is exactly one byte. The correspondence between each segment and each bit in a byte is shown in Table 2-3.

[0080] Table 2-3 Correspondence between segment codes and bytes

[0081]

[0082] According to the above format, the segment codes of the 8-segment LED digital tubes that display various characters are shown in Table 2-4.

[0083] Table 2-4 8-segment LED segment codes

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] Use the program segment led{0xC0, 0xF9, 0xA4, 0xB0, 0x99, 0x92, 0x82, 0xF8, 0x80, 0x90, 0xBF, 0xff, 0x8f, 0xbf, 0xb9} to control the font of the LED digital tube. {0xC0, 0xF9, 0xA4, 0xB0, 0x99, 0x92, 0x82, 0xF8, 0x80} represents the number of parking spaces (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), and {0xBF, 0xff, 0x8f, 0xbf, 0xb9} controls the font of the digital tube to guide the vehicle to a parking space.

[0087] By comparing the voltage at the positive input and negative input of the voltage comparator, when the positive input voltage is greater than the negative input voltage, the voltage comparator outputs a high level, the I / O port detects the high level, and the microcontroller determines that the parking space is occupied. When the positive input voltage is less than the negative input voltage, the voltage comparator outputs a low level, the I / O port detects the low level, and the microcontroller determines that the parking space is vacant. If parking spaces 1 and 2 are vacant, it means there is a parking space in the left lane; if parking spaces 4, 5, and 6 are vacant, it means there is a parking space in the center lane; if parking spaces 6, 7, and 8 are vacant, it means there is a parking space in the right lane.

[0088] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the microcontroller controls the high and low levels of BEEP to determine whether the buzzer operates. Q1 is an NPN transistor. Therefore, when BEEP is high, the transistor turns on, grounding the buzzer and energizing it. Conversely, when BEEP is low, the transistor turns off, de-energizing the buzzer. R1 is a pull-up resistor, increasing the current at port I0 at high levels, sufficient to ensure the buzzer operates normally. R6 acts as a current limiter to protect the transistor.

[0089] like Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply is connected to the socket, passes through a switch, and then passes through two capacitors for filtering. One of the two capacitors is a ceramic capacitor. A ceramic capacitor is a capacitor made of ceramic material as a dielectric, coated with a metal film on the ceramic surface, and then sintered at high temperature to form electrodes. It is commonly used in high-stability oscillation circuits as a loop capacitor, bypass capacitor, and pad capacitor. The other is an electrolytic capacitor. Polarized electrolytic capacitors are usually used in power supply circuits or medium-frequency and low-frequency circuits for power supply filtering, decoupling, signal coupling, time constant setting, and DC isolation. Generally, they cannot be used in AC power supply circuits. When used as a filter capacitor in a DC power supply circuit, its anode (positive pole) should be connected to the positive terminal of the power supply voltage, and the cathode (negative pole) should be connected to the negative terminal of the power supply voltage. Using two capacitors for filtering can produce a more stable and clean power supply. The LED at the back serves as a power indicator, and resistor R27 acts as a current limiting resistor to prevent overcurrent in the diode.
