Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate systems, specifically a new type of gate for intelligent parking lots. Background Technology

[0002] Parking lots built in different areas of the city are primarily for parking vehicles. Because parking lots have multiple regularly distributed parking spaces, vehicles can be parked in an orderly manner. This reduces road traffic pressure, ensures vehicle safety, and provides convenience for car owners and passengers to carry out other activities, such as shopping, dining, or working.

[0003] With the development of science and technology, parking lot management is becoming increasingly intelligent. For example, by installing barriers and scanners at the entrances and exits of parking lots, vehicle information can be input into the control equipment by scanning the license plate number. The control equipment then controls the barrier (gate) to open, allowing vehicles to enter and exit the parking lot. Simultaneously, it can count the number of vehicles parked in the parking lot and alert later vehicles to the availability of parking spaces. This management method is widely used in parking lots. For instance, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN107743641A discloses a method for managing a parking lot, where the parking lot is set up for parking motor vehicles. The method includes the following steps: determining the maximum number of motor vehicles that can be parked in the parking lot; counting the entering and leaving motor vehicles; determining the number of motor vehicles already parked in the parking lot based on the counted motor vehicles; and determining the number of motor vehicles that can be additionally parked in the parking lot.

[0004] Currently, there are many types of parking barrier gates. For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN117604947A discloses a barrier gate that includes a housing and a gate panel. The housing contains a drive mechanism, which includes a drive shaft with its end extending out of the housing. The gate panel includes a main rod, a secondary rod, and a vertical rod assembly. The main rod and the secondary rod are parallel to each other. The fixed end of the main rod is connected to the drive shaft. The vertical rod assembly is located between the main rod and the secondary rod, and there are two rows of vertical rod assemblies, which are staggered along the axial direction of the main rod and the secondary rod. Another example is a Chinese patent with publication number CN104563014B, which discloses a barrier gate, a barrier arm, and a drive device installed inside the barrier gate. One end of the barrier arm is connected to the drive end of the drive device. Sensors are installed on the front and bottom surfaces of the barrier arm. A start switch is installed on the barrier gate above the barrier arm, and an electrical signal output system is installed inside the barrier gate. The input end of the sensor is electrically connected to the start switch, and the output end of the sensor is electrically connected to the electrical signal output system. Whether it's the aforementioned barrier gate or other types, they all control the vertical rotation of the gate or barrier arm around the gate's housing, that is, rotating the gate or barrier arm from a horizontal to a vertical position. This process requires overcoming the weight of the gate or barrier arm, consuming energy. Although the mass of the gate or barrier arm is generally not very large, in today's society that emphasizes energy conservation, reducing the energy consumption of barrier gates is very meaningful. Moreover, there are countless barrier gates across the country, and each gate needs to be raised and lowered many times a day. Reducing the energy consumption of barrier gates also reduces the operating costs for operating companies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of smart parking gate, which aims to improve the problem that existing gates need to completely overcome the work done by gravity when raising the gate or barrier.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: A new type of smart parking gate includes a base, with fences at both ends of the base. A support pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the fence, and a traveling wheel is installed below the other end. The traveling wheel contacts the ground. A support rod is installed through the support pipe, and the bottom of the support rod is connected to the base. A motor is also installed on the base, and the motor controls the support pipe to rotate around the support rod.

[0007] Preferably, thrust bearings are fitted at both the upper and lower ends of the support rod, and a top cap is threaded onto the top. A camera is installed above the top cap, and the camera is connected to the motor and controller.

[0008] Preferably, two thrust bearings are located at the upper and lower ends of the support tube, respectively. A driven gear is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the support tube, and a drive gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor. The driven gear and the drive gear are meshed and connected.

[0009] Preferably, mounting grooves are provided at both ends of the base, and connectors are provided at the mounting grooves. The connectors include connecting pipes with countersunk holes. A base plate is fixedly provided at the bottom of the support rod, and the bottom of the support rod and the base plate are located at the countersunk holes.

[0010] Preferably, the connector further includes a threaded rod, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve. The first sleeve and the second sleeve are distributed on both sides of the connecting pipe. One end of the threaded rod passes through the first sleeve, and the other end is threaded into the second sleeve, with the middle part passing through the connecting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, two through holes are provided on the side wall of the mounting groove, and the first sleeve and the second sleeve are respectively installed in the two through holes.

[0012] Preferably, a U-shaped groove is provided on the side wall of the base, the size of the U-shaped groove is larger than the size of the walking wheel, and the walking wheel can move into the U-shaped groove.

[0013] Preferably, the fence includes a first fence and a second fence, which are hinged together. A support pipe is connected to the first fence, and a traveling wheel is located below the second fence. A guide rail is provided below the fence, which is buried in the ground, and the traveling wheel travels within the guide rail.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is equipped with a support rod, and the support tube is sleeved on the support rod. Therefore, it provides support for driving the fence to rotate around the support rod. During the rotation of the fence, the energy consumed is mainly used to offset the work done by friction. According to common sense, friction is the product of the object's weight and the coefficient of friction. Therefore, it can be concluded that the energy consumed in this case is lower than the energy consumed by the vertical rotation of the fence, thus reducing energy consumption.

[0026] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0027] Example 1

[0028] To address the issues mentioned in the Beijing technology, this embodiment provides a new barrier gate that enables it to open with less energy consumption, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the barrier gate includes a base 1 and two sets of barriers 2. The base 1 is elongated and installed at the entrance and exit of the parking lot 5. The two sets of barriers 2 are located at both ends of the base 1 and distributed on both sides of the base 1 to control vehicle entry and exit. To reduce the energy consumption of opening the barrier gate, a support pipe 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the barrier 2, and a traveling wheel 23 is installed below the other end. The traveling wheel 23 is in contact with the ground. A support rod 4 is connected through the support pipe 22 by a bearing. The bottom of the support rod 4 is connected to the base 1. Therefore, under the action of the support rod 4, the support pipe 22 is stably and movably mounted on the base 1, providing support for controlling the rotation of the barrier 2. In addition, the traveling wheel 23 is a universal wheel, and its design facilitates the stable placement of the end of the barrier 2 away from the support rod 4, providing convenience for the rotation of the barrier 2. A top cap 43 is threaded onto the top of the support rod 4. A camera 44 is installed above the top cap 43. The camera 44 is connected to the controller 15 and can acquire the license plate number of the vehicle and transmit it to the controller 15. A motor 21 is connected to the base 1 via a screw 12. The motor 21 is electrically connected to the controller 15. A driven gear 24 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the support tube 22. A drive gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor 21. The driven gear 24 is meshed with the drive gear. Therefore, when a vehicle drives to the side of the barrier, the controller 15 controls the motor 21 to work, forcing the support tube 22 to rotate around the support rod 4. During this rotation, it is only necessary to counteract the resistance when the fence 2 moves. According to common sense, the resistance is the product of the object's weight and the coefficient of friction. Since the coefficient of friction is less than 1, it can be concluded that the energy consumed in this case is lower than the energy consumed by the vertical rotation of the fence 2, thus reducing energy consumption.

[0030] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to further reduce the resistance of the rotation of the fence 2, thrust bearings 42 are fitted at both the upper and lower ends of the support rod 4. The two thrust bearings 42 are located at the upper and lower ends of the support tube 22, respectively. Therefore, the support tube 22 is prevented from contacting the base 1 and the top cap 43, which would increase the resistance.

[0031] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, to ensure the support rod 4 is stably installed on the base 1, mounting grooves 14 are provided at both ends of the base 1, and two through holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 14. A connector 3 is provided at the mounting groove 14, and the connector 3 includes a connecting pipe 31, a threaded rod 33, a first sleeve 34, and a second sleeve 35. The connecting pipe 31 has a countersunk hole 32. The first sleeve 34 and the second sleeve 35 are distributed on both sides of the connecting pipe 31. One end of the threaded rod 33 passes through the first sleeve 34, and the other end is threaded into the second sleeve 35, with the middle part passing through the connecting pipe 31. The connecting pipe 31 is submerged in the mounting groove 14, and the first sleeve 34 and the second sleeve 35 are respectively installed in the two through holes 13. Therefore, the connecting pipe 31 can be detachably installed in the mounting groove 14, providing support for disassembling the fence 2 as needed. A base plate 41 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 4. The bottom of the support rod 4 and the base plate 41 are located at the countersunk hole 32. Under the action of the connecting pipe 31, the bottom of the support rod 4 is stably installed in the countersunk hole 32.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the opening of the fence 2, a U-shaped groove 11 is provided on the side wall of the base 1. The size of the U-shaped groove 11 is larger than the size of the traveling wheel 23, and the traveling wheel 23 can move into the U-shaped groove 11. With this setting, the fence 2 needs to be rotated 90°, that is, adjusted from the state of being perpendicular to the base 1 to the state of being parallel to the base 1.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] To address the issues mentioned in the Beijing technology, this embodiment provides a new barrier gate that enables it to open with less energy consumption, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the barrier gate includes a base 1 and two sets of barriers 2. The base 1 is elongated and installed at the entrance and exit of the parking lot 5. The two sets of barriers 2 are located at both ends of the base 1 and distributed on both sides of the base 1 to control vehicle entry and exit. To reduce the energy consumption of opening the barrier gate, a support pipe 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the barrier 2, and a traveling wheel 23 is installed below the other end. The traveling wheel 23 is in contact with the ground. A support rod 4 is connected through the support pipe 22 by a bearing. The bottom of the support rod 4 is connected to the base 1. Therefore, under the action of the support rod 4, the support pipe 22 is stably and movably mounted on the base 1, providing support for controlling the rotation of the barrier 2. In addition, the traveling wheel 23 is a universal wheel, and its design facilitates the stable placement of the end of the barrier 2 away from the support rod 4, providing convenience for the rotation of the barrier 2. A top cap 43 is threaded onto the top of the support rod 4. A camera 44 is installed above the top cap 43. The camera 44 is connected to the controller 15 and can acquire the license plate number of the vehicle and transmit it to the controller 15. A motor 21 is connected to the base 1 via a screw 12. The motor 21 is electrically connected to the controller 15. A driven gear 24 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the support tube 22. A drive gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor 21. The driven gear 24 is meshed with the drive gear. Therefore, when a vehicle drives to the side of the barrier, the controller 15 controls the motor 21 to work, forcing the support tube 22 to rotate around the support rod 4. During this rotation, it is only necessary to counteract the resistance when the fence 2 moves. According to common sense, the resistance is the product of the object's weight and the coefficient of friction. Since the coefficient of friction is less than 1, it can be concluded that the energy consumed in this case is lower than the energy consumed by the vertical rotation of the fence 2, thus reducing energy consumption.

[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to further reduce the resistance of the rotation of the fence 2, thrust bearings 42 are fitted at both the upper and lower ends of the support rod 4. The two thrust bearings 42 are located at the upper and lower ends of the support tube 22, respectively. Therefore, the support tube 22 is prevented from contacting the base 1 and the top cap 43, which would increase the resistance.

[0037] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, to ensure the support rod 4 is stably installed on the base 1, mounting grooves 14 are provided at both ends of the base 1, and two through holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 14. A connector 3 is provided at the mounting groove 14, and the connector 3 includes a connecting pipe 31, a threaded rod 33, a first sleeve 34, and a second sleeve 35. The connecting pipe 31 has a countersunk hole 32. The first sleeve 34 and the second sleeve 35 are distributed on both sides of the connecting pipe 31. One end of the threaded rod 33 passes through the first sleeve 34, and the other end is threaded into the second sleeve 35, with the middle part passing through the connecting pipe 31. The connecting pipe 31 is submerged in the mounting groove 14, and the first sleeve 34 and the second sleeve 35 are respectively installed in the two through holes 13. Therefore, the connecting pipe 31 can be detachably installed in the mounting groove 14, providing support for disassembling the fence 2 as needed. A base plate 41 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 4. The bottom of the support rod 4 and the base plate 41 are located at the countersunk hole 32. Under the action of the connecting pipe 31, the bottom of the support rod 4 is stably installed in the countersunk hole 32.

[0038] like Figure 9 As shown, to facilitate the opening of the fence 2, the fence 2 includes a first fence 25 and a second fence 26. The first fence 25 and the second fence 26 are hinged together, and when the fence 2 is in the working state, the included angle between the first fence 25 and the second fence 26 is less than 180°. Therefore, the first fence 25 and the second fence 26 can rotate relative to each other under the action of external force, which facilitates the folding of the fence 2. The support tube 22 is connected to the first fence 25, and the traveling wheel 23 is set below the second fence 26. A guide rail 27 is set below the fence 2. The guide rail 27 is buried in the ground, and the traveling wheel 23 travels in the guide rail 27. Therefore, when the support tube 22 rotates, the traveling wheel 23 moves, but under the action of the guide rail 27, its direction of movement is fixed. Therefore, the first fence 25 and the second fence 26 can be forced to rotate relative to each other to realize the folding of the fence 2.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
