[0002] With the continuous development and innovation of electric vehicles in recent years, electric vehicles have become an increasingly common first choice for residents to purchase cars and have the trend of gradually replacing fuel vehicles. During the use of electric vehicles by residents, they generally need a fixed parking space purchased or leased long-term in their residential communities, and then install an electric vehicle charging pile in this fixed parking space. After installing the electric vehicle charging pile, this parking space may be occupied by a temporary vehicle and there is no phone number left on the vehicle, which will cause the vehicle owner to be unable to park in their fixed parking space in time and unable to charge, which will have a certain impact on the vehicle owner.

[0003] Although in the prior art, the fixed parking space can be prevented from being occupied by other vehicles by hanging a ground lock, hanging a ground lock affects the beauty of the community environment and also affects the travel of residents. Especially for ground parking spaces, especially for the elderly and children, accidents may occur accidentally. Therefore, hanging ground locks is not allowed in many areas now. So, there is an urgent need for a new way to solve the problem of the occupied fixed parking space. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] The details of this utility model can be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings and the description of specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments of this utility model described herein are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the utility model in any way. Under the teachings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on this utility model, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of this utility model.

[0031] To address the issue of fixed parking spaces being occupied, this application proposes an anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces may include: a charging pile 1, a first sensing unit 2, a second sensing unit 3, an electric lifting component 4, and a control unit 5.

[0032] The charging pile 1 is installed next to the parking space 100. Generally, the charging pile 1 is located at the second end away from where the electric vehicle enters or exits the parking space 100. A first camera 11 is installed on the charging pile 1. The first camera 11 faces the direction in which the electric vehicle enters or exits the parking space 100. When an electric vehicle is parked in the parking space 100, the first camera 11 can capture the license plate information of the electric vehicle parked in the parking space 100.

[0033] The first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 are installed on the ground of the parking space 100. The first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 are used to sense whether there is an electric vehicle parked above them. The first sensing unit 2 is installed at the first end of the parking space 100, close to the entrance for electric vehicles, and the second sensing unit 3 is installed at the second end of the parking space 100, away from the entrance for electric vehicles.

[0034] Alternatively, the first sensing unit 2 can be a first inductive loop laid on or within the ground surface of the parking space 100. The second sensing unit 3 can be a second inductive loop laid on or within the ground surface of the parking space 100.

[0035] The electric lifting component 4 is installed on the ground of the parking space 100. The electric lifting component 4 can be installed on or inside the ground of the parking space 100. A second camera 41 is installed on the electric lifting component 4. When the electric lifting component 4 rises, the second camera 41 faces the direction in which the electric vehicle enters or exits the parking space 100.

[0036] The electric lifting component 4 can have a raised state and a lowered state. In the raised state, the bottom of the electric vehicle cannot pass through the electric lifting component 4 to be completely parked in the parking space 100; in the lowered state, the bottom of the electric vehicle can pass through the electric lifting component 4 to be completely parked in the parking space 100.

[0037] Alternatively, the electric lifting component 4 can be an electric lifting pile, with the second camera 41 mounted on the side wall of the electric lifting pile. When the electric lifting component 4 is in the raised state, the second camera 41 can capture the license plate information of the electric vehicle parked above the first sensing unit 2.

[0038] As a feasible option, the electric lifting component 4 is located between the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3. With the above structure, when the electric vehicle just enters the parking space 100, when the first sensing unit 2 senses that there is an electric vehicle parked above it, the second camera 41 can conveniently, quickly and accurately capture the license plate information of the electric vehicle parked above the first sensing unit 2.

[0039] The control unit 5 is electrically connected to the camera 11, the first sensing unit 2, the second sensing unit 3, and the electric lifting component 4. The control unit 5 can receive information captured by the first camera 11 and the second camera 41, as well as information detected by the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 regarding whether an electric vehicle is parked above it, thereby controlling the electric lifting component 4. Furthermore, the control unit 5 can be installed inside the charging pile 1. Additionally, the charging pile 1 can be used to power the electric lifting component 4. The charging pile 1 can also be used to power the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3.

[0040] The anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces can have a first state: In the first state, the electric lifting component 4 is in the raised state, and when the first sensing unit 2 senses that an electric vehicle is parked above it, the control unit 5 activates the second camera 41 to identify the license plate of the electric vehicle.

[0041] Furthermore, in the first state, the second camera 41 identifies the license plate of the electric vehicle. When the license plate information identified by the second camera 41 meets the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a lowering command to the electric lifting component 4; when the license plate information identified by the second camera 41 does not meet the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to maintain the raised state. The preset requirement is that the license plate information identified by the second camera 41 is consistent with the stored license plate information of vehicles that can park in the parking space 100. This method ensures that unfamiliar vehicles cannot continue to park in the parking space 100.

[0042] The anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces can have a second state. In the second state, the electric lifting component 4 is in a lowered state, the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 detect that no electric vehicle is parked above them, and the control unit 5 activates the first camera 11 to identify the license plate of the electric vehicle. When the electric vehicle in the parking space 100 leaves the parking space 100, the electric vehicle parking space enters the second state.

[0043] In the second state, the first camera 11 identifies the license plate of the electric vehicle. When the license plate information identified by the first camera 11 meets the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to maintain the lowered state. When the first camera 11 does not identify the license plate information, the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to raise.

[0044] The specific working process of the electric vehicle parking space in this application is as follows:

[0045] When a vehicle needs to park in parking space 100, the specific working process is as follows: Before the vehicle enters parking space 100, the electric lifting component 4 is in the raised state, and the first camera 11 and the second camera 41 can be in the off state. As soon as the vehicle enters parking space 100 and reaches above the first sensing unit 2, but before passing the electric lifting component 4, the first sensing unit 2 senses that an electric vehicle is parked above it. The anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces enters the first state, and the control unit 5 activates the second camera 41 to recognize the license plate of the electric vehicle. When the license plate information recognized by the second camera 41 meets the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a lowering command to the electric lifting component 4, and the electric lifting component 4 enters the lowering state. The second camera 41 can be turned off. At this time, the vehicle can continue to enter parking space 100 through the electric lifting component 4 and park completely in parking space 100. When the vehicle is completely parked in parking space 100, the second sensing unit 3 senses that an electric vehicle is parked above it. At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the electric vehicle is completely parked in parking space 100. When the license plate information recognized by the second camera 41 does not meet the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to maintain the raised state. At this time, the unfamiliar vehicle cannot park in the parking space 100, thereby preventing the parking space 100 from being occupied by the unfamiliar vehicle.

[0046] When a vehicle leaves parking space 100, the specific operating process is as follows: As the vehicle leaves parking space 100, the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 change from sensing that an electric vehicle is parked above them to sensing that no electric vehicle is parked above them. At this point, the anti-occupancy system for the electric vehicle parking space enters its second state. The control unit 5 activates the first camera 11 to recognize the license plate of the electric vehicle. When the license plate information recognized by the first camera 11 meets the preset requirements, the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to maintain its lowered state. At this point, it can be considered that the first sensing unit 2 and the second sensing unit 3 have issued false alarms, and the vehicle has not actually left; the electric lifting component 4 remains in its lowered state. When the first camera 11 does not recognize the license plate information, it indicates that the vehicle has left, and the control unit 5 sends a command to the electric lifting component 4 to raise. The electric lifting component 4 then enters its raised state.

[0047] The anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces in this application can automatically control the raising and lowering of the electric lifting component 4 based on the start and departure of a vehicle. This ensures that vehicles meeting preset requirements can fully park in the parking space 100, while preventing unfamiliar vehicles from fully parking there. Furthermore, it promptly raises the electric lifting component 4 after a vehicle leaves the parking space 100 to prevent unfamiliar vehicles from parking there, thus preventing the parking space 100 from being occupied. In addition, this anti-occupancy system for electric vehicle parking spaces is applicable to various residential communities and can be deployed in large quantities. It is suitable for both above-ground and underground parking spaces.
