Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking lock technology, and in particular to an intelligent parking lock with a waterproof installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of the number of vehicles in cities, intelligent parking management systems are becoming increasingly popular. Parking locks are an important component, and their functionality and reliability directly affect the overall performance of the system. However, traditional parking locks have some shortcomings in their design, especially in terms of signal card installation and the strength of the protective cover. These problems have caused inconvenience to users and affected the long-term stability of the equipment.

[0003] In the past, parking locks did not come with a 4G signal card pre-installed at the factory, requiring users to purchase and install it separately. This meant that users had to remove the top cover of the drive unit and use tools to clamp and install the 4G signal card into the internal slot. This process was not only complicated and cumbersome, but also prone to damaging the waterproof seal between the top cover and the drive box. Once the waterproof seal was broken, moisture could seep into the drive unit, causing electronic components to become damp, short-circuit, or malfunction, thus affecting the normal operation of the parking lock. In addition, the wiring inside the drive unit was originally carefully positioned and arranged, and opening the cover could cause these wirings to become messy due to the restoring force, and might even break the wiring of the ultrasonic sensor, increasing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0004] Meanwhile, the protective cover of traditional parking locks usually relies solely on the support column for structural support. However, in actual applications, when the vehicle chassis accidentally comes into contact with the protective cover, the cover itself is not strong enough and is easily cracked or damaged. This damage not only exposes the internal components, increasing the risk of vandalism or theft, but also causes the parking lock to lose its protective function and shorten its service life. This situation is more common for parking locks located in busy traffic areas or near parking lot entrances and exits, seriously affecting the user experience and property security.

[0005] Therefore, it is imperative to redesign a smart parking lock with a waterproof installation structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an intelligent parking lock with a waterproof installation structure, aiming to solve the problems of inconvenient installation of 4G signal cards, easy damage to waterproof sealing, and insufficient strength and easy damage of the protective cover in the existing parking lock.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an intelligent parking lock with a waterproof installation structure, including a base, a protective cover on the base, the protective cover being divided into a drive area and a power area, each area having several supporting columns, a reinforcing mesh on the inner side of the protective cover, the upper end of each supporting column contacting the reinforcing mesh, a drive device fixedly installed between the several supporting columns in the drive area, a battery fixedly installed between the several supporting columns in the power area, symmetrically arranged rotating shaft positioning frames on both sides of the drive device on the base, a parking lock frame surrounding the base, both ends of the parking lock frame rotatably engaging with the rotating shaft positioning frames, one end being connected to the output end of the drive device, a signal card mounting slot on the upper cover of the drive device, and a signal card cover disposed in the signal card mounting slot.

[0008] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of a smart parking lock with a waterproof installation structure are that it solves the problems of inconvenient installation of 4G signal cards, easy damage to waterproof sealing, and insufficient strength and easy damage of the protective cover in existing parking locks; mainly reflected in:

[0009] 1. This utility model provides a dedicated signal card installation slot and a signal card cover on the upper cover of the drive device, allowing users to easily install a 4G signal card without removing the upper cover. This simplifies the installation process and avoids the risk of equipment damage caused by disassembly and assembly.

[0010] 2. This utility model has a waterproof annular groove designed in the middle of the signal card mounting slot, which is adapted to the waterproof annular protrusion at the bottom of the signal card cover. This ensures that even under severe weather conditions, it can maintain good waterproof sealing and prevent moisture from entering and causing internal electronic components to malfunction.

[0011] 3. This utility model enhances the overall structural strength of the protective cover by setting a reinforcing mesh inside the protective cover, which makes it contact the supporting column. Even if the vehicle chassis accidentally collides with the protective cover, it can effectively resist external impact, reduce the risk of cracking or damage, and extend the service life of the parking lock.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive device also includes a drive box, a drive motor, a gear reducer, a clutch sleeve, an internal shaft, and several fastening snap rings. The upper end cover is threaded to the upper end of the drive box. The gear reducer is disposed on one side inside the drive box. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the gear reducer. The clutch sleeve is connected to the output end of the gear reducer. The internal shaft is sleeved inside the clutch sleeve. One end of the internal shaft is engaged with one end of the parking space lock frame on the rotating shaft positioning frame. Several fastening snap rings are evenly sleeved on the clutch sleeve.

[0013] Based on the above, the drive unit adopts a modular design, integrating key components such as the drive motor, gear reducer, and clutch sleeve into a single drive box. This design offers several advantages: it saves space, improves assembly efficiency, and facilitates production and maintenance. The clutch sleeve allows for rotational connection with the internal shaft when encountering abnormal resistance, protecting the drive motor from damage due to no-load rotation. The internal shaft, through its snap-fit ​​connection with one end of the parking space lock frame, ensures a stable connection between the two, enhancing the overall stability of the system. The retaining circlip securely fixes the clutch sleeve and internal shaft, effectively preventing the internal shaft from disengaging from the clutch sleeve's control and ensuring its stability and reliability during long-term operation.

[0014] Furthermore, the signal card mounting slot has several threaded holes on both sides, a waterproof annular groove is provided in the middle of the signal card mounting slot, a card insertion part is provided in the middle of the waterproof annular groove, and a waterproof annular boss is provided on the bottom surface of the signal card cover, the waterproof annular boss being adapted to the waterproof annular groove.

[0015] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the waterproof annular groove is that it matches the waterproof annular protrusion on the bottom surface of the signal card cover, forming an effective waterproof barrier. When the signal card cover is closed, the waterproof annular groove and the waterproof annular protrusion are tightly combined, which can effectively prevent moisture from entering and ensure that the signal card and its connecting lines can remain dry even in humid or rainy environments, avoiding the problem of moisture-induced short circuits.

[0016] Furthermore, a positioning lock groove is provided on the bottom surface of the parking space lock frame, and a positioning rib is provided on the base corresponding to the position of the positioning lock groove. When the parking space lock frame is unlocked, the positioning lock groove and the positioning rib are matched.

[0017] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the positioning lock groove is that it precisely matches the positioning rib on the base, ensuring accurate positioning of the parking lock frame in the unlocked state, reducing unnecessary shaking or displacement of the parking lock frame due to external forces, and improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper end of the pivot positioning frame is provided with a lower semi-circular groove, and the upper end of the pivot positioning frame is screwed to an upper semi-circular locking member. The two ends of the parking space lock frame are adapted to the circular limiting structure formed between the upper semi-circular locking member and the lower semi-circular groove.

[0019] Based on the above, the beneficial effect of the circular limiting structure formed by the upper half-arc locking component and the lower half-arc groove is to provide a precise rotation center for the parking space lock frame, ensuring that the parking space lock frame can rotate smoothly and accurately around the pivot during opening and closing, avoiding operational instability caused by offset or shaking.

[0020] Furthermore, a sensor adapter hole is provided in the middle of the protective cover, and an ultrasonic sensor is disposed in the sensor adapter hole. The ultrasonic sensor is electrically connected to the driving device.

[0021] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of ultrasonic sensors are to monitor in real time whether parking spaces are occupied, provide accurate data support for intelligent parking management systems, and ensure that the vehicle's chassis height is compatible with the parking space lock. Once the vehicle approaches beyond a safe distance, an alarm will be triggered immediately to prevent the vehicle chassis from colliding with the parking space lock and causing property damage.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The drive device 4 further includes a drive box 42, a drive motor 43, a gear reducer 44, a clutch sleeve 45, an internal shaft 46, and several fastening snap rings 47. The upper end cover 41 is threaded to the upper end of the drive box 42. The gear reducer 44 is disposed on one side inside the drive box 42. The output end of the drive motor 43 is connected to the input end of the gear reducer 44. The clutch sleeve 45 is connected to the output end of the gear reducer 44. The internal shaft 46 is sleeved inside the clutch sleeve 45. One end of the internal shaft 46 is engaged with one end of the parking space lock frame 7 on the rotating shaft positioning frame 6. Several fastening snap rings 47 are evenly sleeved on the clutch sleeve 45.

[0037] The signal card mounting slot 411 has several threaded holes 4111 on both sides. A waterproof annular groove 4112 is provided in the middle of the signal card mounting slot 411. A card insertion part 4113 is provided in the middle of the waterproof annular groove 4112. A waterproof annular boss 4121 is provided on the bottom surface of the signal card cover 412. The waterproof annular boss 4121 is adapted to the waterproof annular groove 4112.

[0038] The bottom surface of the parking space lock frame 7 is provided with a positioning lock groove 71, and the base 1 is provided with a positioning rib 11 corresponding to the position of the positioning lock groove 71. When the parking space lock frame 7 is unlocked, the positioning lock groove 71 and the positioning rib 11 are adapted to each other.

[0039] The upper end of the rotating shaft positioning frame 6 is provided with a lower semi-circular groove 61, and the upper end of the rotating shaft positioning frame 6 is screwed to an upper semi-circular locking member 62. The two ends of the parking space lock frame 7 are adapted to the circular limiting structure formed between the upper semi-circular locking member 62 and the lower semi-circular groove 61.

[0040] The protective cover 8 has a sensor adapter hole 82 in the middle, and an ultrasonic sensor 12 is disposed in the sensor adapter hole 82. The ultrasonic sensor 12 is electrically connected to the driving device 4.

[0041] In summary, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0042] First, the user unscrews the screws to open the protective cover 8, then unscrews the screws to open the upper cover 41 of the drive device 4, inserts the 4G signal card into the card insertion part 4113 of the signal card mounting slot 411, and after inserting the card, install the upper cover 41 and the protective cover 8 in sequence. Then, the battery 5 located in the power area 3 supplies power to the drive device 4 located in the drive area 2, and the 4G signal card establishes a connection with the external network.

[0043] When a user wants to lock a parking space, they can send a lock command via a mobile application. This command is transmitted to the parking lock via a signal card, triggering the action of the drive device 4. Specifically, the drive motor 43 located in the drive box 42 starts and transmits power to the clutch sleeve 45 through the gear reduction box 44, ultimately driving the internal shaft 46 to rotate. The internal shaft 46 is engaged with one end of the parking lock frame 7 on the rotating shaft positioning bracket 6, pushing the parking lock frame 7 to stand up and complete the locking action. After locking, the system will send feedback to the user that the current parking space is locked through the 4G signal card in the signal card installation slot 411. Conversely, when it is necessary to unlock the parking space, the user sends an unlock command, and the drive motor 43 reverses according to the instruction, causing the parking lock frame 7 to lie flat, allowing the vehicle to safely enter the parking space. At the same time, the system notifies the user that the parking space has been successfully unlocked.

[0044] Throughout the entire usage process, the ultrasonic sensor 12 located in the middle of the protective cover 8 continuously monitors the occupancy of the parking space and changes in the surrounding environment. If an object is detected to be too close to the parking space lock, especially if the vehicle chassis height is lower than the set safety value, the sensor will respond immediately and may trigger an alarm mechanism, including issuing an audible alarm or sending an emergency notification to the user, to avoid potential collision accidents. The protective cover 8 and the reinforcing mesh 81 set inside it ensure that the system can maintain stability and safety even in the event of an accidental vehicle collision, protecting the internal components from damage. It should be noted that the reinforcing mesh 81 and the supporting column 21 can withstand a weight of six tons.

[0045] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Various modifications or substitutions made by those skilled in the art to this utility model without departing from the essence and protection scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
