[0035] Nowadays, when drivers go out, they may temporarily occupy other people's parking spaces, block parked cars, or obstruct the road. Drivers usually place a parking sign with their phone number on the windshield so that others can contact them quickly. In related technologies, the parking sign has a hinge that can be rotated to cover or reveal the phone number. However, drivers often forget to open the hinge before getting out of the car, making the phone number unreadable and affecting the usability of the parking sign.

[0036] This utility model proposes a parking sign, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the effectiveness of parking signs.

[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the parking sign includes: a base 10, the base 10 having a mounting cavity 12, and a display area 11 on the top wall of the base 10 for displaying contact information; a movable cover 20, the movable cover 20 being rotatably connected to the base 10, the movable cover 20 having a closed position and an open position on its rotation path; when the movable cover 20 is in the closed position, the movable cover 20 is close to the top surface of the base 10 and covers the display area 11; when the movable cover 20 is in the open position, the movable cover 20 opens the display area 11 to expose the display area 11; and a driving device 30, the driving device 30 being mounted in the mounting cavity 12. The output shaft 31 of the drive device 30 is connected to the movable cover plate 20 to drive the movable cover plate 20 to rotate; the main control board 40 is installed in the mounting cavity 12 and electrically connected to the drive device 30; the battery 50 is installed in the mounting cavity 12 and electrically connected to the main control board 40; the Bluetooth module is installed on the main control board 40, and the main control board 40 is used to control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover plate 20 to the closed position when the Bluetooth module is paired with an external Bluetooth device; and to control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover plate 20 to the open position when the Bluetooth module is disconnected from the external Bluetooth device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the base 10 forms the overall appearance structure of the parking sign. The base 10 can be placed on the center console of the car and near the windshield. The display area 11 is located on the top wall of the base 10. The display area 11 is used to display contact information, which can be a phone number or mobile phone number, or a QR code of a communication software, such as the car owner's WeChat QR code.

[0039] The movable cover 20 can be rotated to cover or open the display area 11. For example, after parking the car and before getting out, the user can operate the movable cover 20 to open the display area 11 so that the display area 11 can be exposed to the windshield. When the user gets into the car and is about to drive, the user can operate the movable cover 20 to cover the display area 11. At this time, the movable cover 20 is close to the top wall of the base 10, thereby avoiding the movable cover 20 from interfering with the user's view and ensuring driving safety.

[0040] By setting up a movable cover plate 20 to cover or open the display area 11 of the base 10, the user can operate the movable cover plate 20 to cover the display area 11, thereby making it convenient for the user to hide the contact information on the parking sign according to actual needs, so as to improve the ease of use of the parking sign.

[0041] The drive unit 30 can drive the movable cover 20 to rotate, so that each time the movable cover 20 needs to be driven to cover or open the display area 11, there is no need for manual operation by the user, thereby improving the convenience of using the parking sign.

[0042] The Bluetooth module can be a Bluetooth antenna, and it can be paired and connected to external Bluetooth devices, such as the vehicle's Bluetooth system or the owner's mobile phone.

[0043] The main control board 40 includes a main control circuit, a Bluetooth connection trigger circuit, and a Bluetooth disconnection trigger circuit. The main control circuit is electrically connected to the drive device 30. Both the Bluetooth connection trigger circuit and the Bluetooth disconnection trigger circuit are electrically connected to the main control circuit, and they are also electrically connected to the Bluetooth module. When the Bluetooth module pairs with an external Bluetooth device, it triggers the Bluetooth connection trigger circuit, which sends a first electrical signal to the main control circuit. Based on the first electrical signal, the main control circuit controls the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the closed position. When the Bluetooth module disconnects from an external Bluetooth device, it triggers the Bluetooth disconnection trigger circuit, which sends a second electrical signal to the main control circuit. Based on the second electrical signal, the main control circuit controls the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the open position.

[0044] When the Bluetooth module is paired and connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth or the owner's personal device Bluetooth, it indicates that the car has started or the owner has entered the car. The main control board 40 can control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the closed position. When the Bluetooth module is disconnected from the vehicle's Bluetooth or the owner's personal device Bluetooth, it indicates that the car has been turned off or the owner has exited the car. The main control board 40 can control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the open position. In this way, when the owner turns off the car or gets out of the car, the movable cover 20 can be triggered to open the display area 11 at the same time, without the need for additional operation steps. This can prevent the owner from forgetting to open the movable cover 20 before getting out of the car, thus improving the effectiveness of the parking sign.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting part 21 protrudes from one side of the movable cover plate 20, and the connecting part 21 has a connecting hole; the top wall of the base 10 has a mounting groove 14, and the connecting part 21 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 14. The groove wall of the mounting groove 14 has a through hole communicating with the mounting cavity 12. The output shaft 31 of the drive device 30 extends into the mounting cavity 12 through the through hole and mates with the connecting hole. The structural strength of the connecting part 21 is greater than that of the movable cover plate 20. The connection between the output shaft 31 of the drive device 30 and the connecting part 21 can improve the connection stability. Placing the connecting part 21 in the mounting groove 14 can hide the connecting part 21 and reduce the apparent size of the parking sign.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the peripheral wall of the connecting part 21 is provided with a stop rib 211, and the groove wall of the mounting groove 14 is provided with a clearance groove 141. The stop rib 211 is movably located in the clearance groove 141. When the movable cover plate 20 is in the open position, the stop rib 211 abuts against the groove wall of the clearance groove 141 to restrict the movable cover plate 20 from continuing to rotate in the direction of opening the display area 11. The abutment between the stop rib 211 and the groove wall of the clearance groove 141 can make the movable cover plate 20 stably stay in the open position, prevent the movable cover plate 20 from continuing to rotate, and also prevent the movable cover plate 20 from being deformed or damaged due to direct obstruction force.

[0047] In practical applications, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 14 has a shaft hole on its wall opposite to the through hole. The shaft hole is coaxial with the through hole. The end of the connecting part 21 opposite to the connecting hole is also provided with a connecting shaft 212, which is rotatably engaged with the shaft hole. The connecting hole and the connecting shaft 212 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting part 21. The connecting shaft 212 is rotatably engaged with the shaft hole. In this way, the base 10 can support the rotation of the movable cover plate 20 through the connecting shaft 212, avoiding concentrated force on the output shaft 31 of the drive device 30, thereby improving the rotational stability of the movable cover plate 20.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the parking sign also includes a display card 60, which is detachably placed in the display area 11. The display card 60 is used to record contact information. When a user needs to change the contact information displayed in the display area 11, they can remove the display card 60, make corrections, and then put it back in the display area 11. Alternatively, they can directly replace it with a new display card 60. This facilitates users in changing the contact information they want to display, further improving the ease of use of the parking sign.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 The base 10 has a recessed groove 13 on its top wall. The display area 11 is located at the bottom of the recessed groove 13, and the display card 60 is disposed within the recessed groove 13. When the movable cover 20 is in the closed position, it is located within the recessed groove 13. The recessed groove 13 can position the display card 60, facilitating its stable placement within the display area 11 and improving its stability. When the movable cover 20 is in the closed position, it is located within the recessed groove 13, and its surface is flush with the opening of the recessed groove 13.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 7As shown, the top wall surface of the base 10 forms an angle with the bottom wall surface of the base 10, so that the display area 11 is tilted upwards. The distance between the top and bottom walls gradually increases from the side of the parking sign closer to the windshield to the side farther away from the windshield, so that the display area 11 can be tilted towards the windshield, thereby making it easier for people outside the vehicle to see the contact information on the display area 11 through the windshield, thus improving the display effect.

[0051] Specifically, the display area 11 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. The first side is higher than the second side. When the movable cover 20 is in the open position, it is located on the side of the first side away from the second side. Referring to the positional relationship between the display area 11 and the windshield, the second side is closer to the windshield and also lower than the first side. When the movable cover 20 is in the open position, it is located on the side of the first side away from the second side. In other words, when the movable cover 20 is in the open position, the display area 11 is located between the windshield and the movable cover 20. Thus, the movable cover 20 can provide some light blocking, preventing people outside the vehicle from not being able to see the contact information on the display area 11 due to reflections, thereby further improving the display effect.

[0052] In practical applications, when the movable cover 20 is in the open position, the angle between the movable cover 20 and the display area 11 is set to 90° to 120°. This ensures that the movable cover 20 can fully open the display area 11, preventing it from obstructing the view of people outside the vehicle, while also ensuring that the movable cover 20 blocks light so that people outside the vehicle can clearly see the contact information on the display area 11.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the parking sign also includes an anti-slip mat 70, which is disposed on the bottom wall surface of the base 10. When the parking sign is placed on the center console, the anti-slip mat 70 contacts the center console. The anti-slip mat 70 has a higher coefficient of friction, which can improve the friction between the parking sign and the center console, thereby improving the stability of the parking sign on the center console and preventing the parking sign from easily deviating from its original position.

[0054] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
