[0030] This utility model provides a parking number plate, including a base, a number plate installed on the base, and a cover plate installed on the base that can be flipped to cover the number plate. The base is provided with a connecting hole, and the bottom of the cover plate has a connecting end that can be inserted into the connecting hole. The connecting end is movably positioned in the connecting hole and the cover plate can be flipped relative to the base. The base is provided with a fixing member that is fixedly connected to the connecting end. The length of the fixing member is greater than the connecting hole and limits the connecting end in the connecting hole.

[0031] Implementation, for example Figures 1-7 As shown, a parking number plate includes a base 1, a detachable number plate 2 mounted on the base 1, and a cover plate 3 mounted on the top of the base 1 that can be flipped to cover the number plate 2. The base 1 has a first inclined surface 1.1 and a second inclined surface 1.2 located on its front and rear sides. The upper ends of the first inclined surface 1.1 and the second inclined surface 1.2 abut against each other and slope downward. A positioning groove 1.3 extending along the length of the abutting edge of the inclined surface is formed at the abutting point of the first inclined surface 1.1 and the second inclined surface 1.2. A connecting hole 1.4 is formed in the middle area of ​​the positioning groove 1.3. A protruding first positioning part 3.1 is formed at the bottom of the cover plate 3. The first positioning part 3.1 is accommodated in the positioning groove 1.3 and can move within the positioning groove 1.3 to a limited extent according to the flipping of the cover plate 3. The first positioning part 3.1 is located in the middle area of ​​the cover plate 3, and a protruding connecting end 3.2 that can be inserted into the connecting hole 1.4 is formed in the middle area of ​​the first positioning part 3.1.

[0032] Furthermore, the connecting end 3.2 is movably positioned within the connecting hole 1.4 located between the first inclined surface 1.1 and the second inclined surface 1.2. The number plate 2 is arranged on the first inclined surface 1.1. The width of the cover plate 3 is greater than the width of the first inclined surface 1.1. The cover plate 3 flips between the first inclined surface 1.1 and the second inclined surface 1.2, causing the connecting end 3.2 to swing back and forth within the connecting hole 1.4.

[0033] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 has protruding limiting parts 3.4 at both ends, and the base 1 has limiting grooves 1.7 at both ends. The limiting parts 3.4 are accommodated in the limiting grooves 1.7 and can move within the limiting grooves 1.7 along with the cover plate 3. The limiting parts 3.4 cooperate with the limiting grooves 1.7 to prevent the cover plate 3 from detaching from the base 1. At the same time, the cooperation between the limiting parts 3.4 and the limiting grooves 1.7 can also prevent the cover plate 3 from deforming during long-term pressing and flipping.

[0034] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a fixing member that is fixedly connected to the connecting end 3.2. The fixing member is a fixing spring 4 that is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting end 3.2 by screws. The length of the fixing spring 4 is greater than the length of the connecting hole 1.4, so that the connecting end 3.2 is limited in the connecting hole 1.4 and cannot come out, thereby preventing the cover plate 3 from coming off the base 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing spring 4 is a metal sheet, plastic sheet, or other material that can undergo elastic deformation, or the fixing spring 4 is a tough metal sheet, plastic sheet, or other material.

[0036] Specifically, the two ends of the fixed spring 4 along its length are respectively provided with a snap-fit ​​part 4.1 protruding towards the cover plate 3, and the base 1 is provided with snap-fit ​​grooves on both sides of the connecting hole 1.4 that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​part 4.1.

[0037] Specifically, each side of the connecting hole 1.4 is provided with a first locking groove 1.5 and a second locking groove 1.6 located on the swing path of the fixed spring piece 4. The cover plate 3 flips, causing the connecting end 3.2 to move the fixed spring piece 4 inside the base 1. When the cover plate 3 flips to the second inclined surface 1.2, the fixed spring piece 4 is driven by the connecting end 3.2 to the first locking groove 1.5, and the locking part 4.1 engages with the first locking groove 1.5 to achieve locking and positioning of the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 flips to the first inclined surface 1.1, the fixed spring piece 4 is driven by the connecting end 3.2 to the second locking groove 1.6, and the locking part 4.1 engages with the second locking groove 1.6 to achieve locking and positioning of the cover plate 3.

[0038] Furthermore, the connecting end 3.2 has a second positioning part 3.3 protruding towards the fixing spring 4. The fixing spring 4 is provided with a positioning hole 4.2 that engages with the second positioning part 3.3. The second positioning part 3.3 and the positioning hole 4.2 work together to prevent the fixing spring 4 from deflecting during the process of being driven by the connecting end 3.2.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
