[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5A smart city parking space guidance device includes a parking space 1 with a placement slot 14. Two sets of symmetrical protective components 2 are installed inside the placement slot 14. The protective components 2 are V-shaped and have symmetrical internal structures. Each protective component 2 includes a top plate 21, with an upper protective block 211 fixedly connected to its bottom. Rotating shafts 214 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper protective block 211. An upper sliding track 212 is provided inside the upper protective block 211. Inside the channel 212, there is a roller 213. The two sides of the roller 213 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 23. The other end of the connecting rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 224. The rotating shaft 224 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the lower protective block 221. The lower protective block 221 has a sliding channel 222 inside. Inside the sliding channel 222, there is a roller 223. The two sides of the roller 223 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 24. The other end of the connecting rod 24 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 214.

[0025] A base plate 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower protective block 221, and the base plate 22 is installed inside the placement groove 14 by bolts;

[0026] The top plate 21 has a groove 25 on its top, and a handle 28 is placed in the groove 25. The handle 28 is rotatably mounted on the top of the pull rod 271. A limit block 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull rod 271. One side of the limit block 27 is inclined.

[0027] The upper protective block 211 has a movable groove 26 inside, the pull rod 271 passes through the movable groove 26, the movable groove 26 is equipped with a spring 261, the top of the limiting block 27 is adapted to the movable groove 26, and the movable groove 26 is connected to the top of the movable groove 26 through the spring 261.

[0028] Specifically, when the protective component 2 is in the normal state, the protective component 2 is in the retracted state. At this time, the upper protective block 1 211 and the lower protective block 221 are in contact, and the roller 1 213 and the roller 223 are both in their slides at the ends away from the limiting block 27. When protection is required, the user lifts the lever 271 by holding the handle 28. The lever 271 controls the limiting block 27 to move upward in the moving groove 26. During the rising process, the limiting block 27 will gradually squeeze the spring 261 and drive the top plate 21 to rise. As the top plate 21 continues to rise, the distance between the upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221 increases.

[0029] Linkage 1 23 and Linkage 2 24 rotate around pivot 1 214 and pivot 224, respectively. Simultaneously, roller 1 213 rolls towards the limit block 27 within the upper slide rail 212, and roller 2 223 rolls towards the limit block 27 within the lower slide rail 222. In this way, the protective component 2 gradually unfolds from its retracted state to protect the vehicle. Once fully unfolded, roller 1 213 and roller 2 223 are at the other end of their slide rails. When the user releases the handle 28, the spring 261 loses its external force constraint, thereby pushing the limit block 27 out of the moving slot 26 and into the upper slide rail 212, restricting roller 1 213 and preventing it from moving in the opposite direction. This allows the protective component 2 to remain in its unfolded state, ensuring effective protection for the vehicle.

[0030] When the protective component 2 needs to be retracted, the user grips and pulls the handle 28 again, causing the limiting block 27 to retract from the position restricting roller 213 in the upper slide rail 212 and return to the moving groove 26. A certain downward pressure is applied, causing roller 213 and roller 223 to move out from the other end of their slide rails, facilitating the descent of the top plate 21. At this time, connecting rod 1 23 and connecting rod 24 rotate in opposite directions. Roller 213 rolls away from the limiting block 27 in the upper slide rail 212, and roller 223 rolls away from the limiting block 27 in the lower slide rail 222. The distance between the upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221 gradually decreases, eventually returning to the retracted state. The upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221 fit together, thereby achieving the retracted state of the protective component 2, making it easy to place in the placement groove 14.

[0031] The upper protective block 211, the lower protective block 221, the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 are independent of each other. When the protective components are damaged by impact, the damaged parts can be replaced individually, which can improve the efficiency of replacement and reduce the cost of replacement.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] To guide users in parking, please refer to Figures 1-5 Based on embodiment 1, a limit rod 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side of parking space 1, and a reflective strip 111 is provided on the limit rod 11.

[0034] A bracket 12 is installed in parking space 1. An indicator light 13 is connected to the top of the bracket 12. A sensor 131 is installed on one side of the bracket 12.

[0035] Specifically, when a vehicle is parked in parking space 1, the limiting bar 11 fixedly installed on the inner side of parking space 1 can provide the driver with an intuitive visual reference. The driver can observe the relative position of the vehicle and the limiting bar 11 to make a preliminary judgment on whether the vehicle is on the correct parking path. The reflective strip 111 can reflect light and clearly show the boundary of parking space 1, which helps the driver to more accurately identify the location and range of parking space 1 in low light conditions and guide the vehicle to accurately drive into parking space 1.

[0036] The indicator light 13 on the top of the bracket 12 can be used to display the status of parking space 1. When parking space 1 is vacant, indicator light 13 can light up green, indicating that the parking space is available; when the parking space is occupied, indicator light 13 lights up red. By observing the color of indicator light 13, the driver can quickly understand whether the parking space is available and be guided to an vacant parking space. Sensor 131 can detect whether a vehicle is parked in the parking space and transmit the information to the control system according to the parking status of the vehicle, and control indicator light 13 to change color.

[0037] Working principle: After the driver enters the parking lot, they first observe the indicator light 13 on the top of the bracket 12 above parking space 1. If indicator light 13 is green, it means that the parking space is available; if it is red, it means that the parking space is occupied and the driver needs to find another parking space corresponding to a green indicator light 13.

[0038] Once the vehicle is accurately parked in parking space 1, the driver grips the handle 28 in the groove 25 at the top of the roof panel 21 and lifts it upwards. The handle 28 drives the lever 271 to move upwards, and the limiting block 27 at the bottom of the lever 271 moves upwards within the moving groove 26, gradually compressing the spring 261. The lever 271 then lifts the roof panel 21 upwards, gradually increasing the distance between the upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221. During this process, connecting rod 1 23 and connecting rod 24 rotate around pivot 1 214 and pivot 2 224, while roller 1 213 rolls towards the limiting block 27 within the upper slide rail 212, and roller 2 223 rolls towards the limiting block 27 within the lower slide rail 222. When the protective assembly 2 is fully deployed, roller 1 213 and roller 2 223 reach the other end of the slide rail. At this time, the driver releases the grip 28, and the spring 261 pushes the limit block 27 out of the moving groove 26 and into the upper slide 212, which restricts the roller 213 and keeps the protective component 2 in the deployed state, thereby protecting the vehicle.

[0039] When the driver needs to move the vehicle out of parking space 1, the driver grips handle 28 and pulls it upward, causing the limiting block 27 to retract from the limiting position of roller 213 in the upper slide rail 212 and return to the moving groove 26. Then, the driver applies a certain downward pressure, causing roller 213 and roller 223 to move out from the other end of their slide rails. At this time, due to the weight of the protective assembly 2 itself and the connection relationship between the components, the top plate 21 begins to descend. Linkage 1 23 and link 2 24 rotate in opposite directions, and the distance between the upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221 gradually decreases, eventually returning to the retracted state, with the upper protective block 211 and the lower protective block 221 fitting together, and the protective assembly 2 retracts back into the placement groove 14.

[0040] After the protective component 2 retracts, the driver starts the vehicle and drives it out of parking space 1 according to normal driving operations. After the vehicle leaves the parking space, sensor 131 detects that the parking space is empty and transmits the information to the control system. The control system then controls indicator light 13 to light up green again, indicating that the parking space is now available for other vehicles.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0042] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
