Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of parking assistance devices, specifically to an assistance device for parking in a side-layout parking lot. Background Technology

[0002] Parking lots, as dedicated spaces for vehicle parking, play an indispensable role in the operation of cities. From simple, unmanaged, free parking areas with only marked parking spaces, to modern paid parking lots equipped with automated time-based charging systems, closed-circuit television, and video recording systems, their forms are becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] However, with the rapid pace of urbanization, the number of cars in cities is increasing rapidly, and parking difficulties have become a very thorny issue in urban development. On the one hand, land resources are becoming increasingly scarce, especially in the core urban areas, where every inch of land is extremely valuable, making it difficult to find large vacant lots to build new conventional parking lots. In large cities, with their dense populations and thriving commerce, opening new parking lots in the city center not only incurs extremely high land acquisition costs but also results in a scarcity of available land, highlighting the prominent contradiction between the supply and demand of parking spaces.

[0004] On the other hand, some narrow areas, such as old residential communities and old urban areas with narrow streets, are difficult to plan and build parking lots according to conventional standards due to space limitations. Some old residential communities have small building spacing and narrow roads, making it difficult for vehicles to pass, let alone designate enough parking areas. As a result, residents can only park wherever there is space, leading to serious problems of haphazard parking, which not only affects the order of the community but also brings safety hazards. On the other hand, some narrow streets are not wide enough to set up standard parking spaces. Even if they are set up, it will affect the normal passage of the road and cause traffic congestion. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides an auxiliary device for parking in a side-layout parking lot that is convenient for parking and has a high space utilization rate.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A parking assistance device for a side-layout parking lot includes several parking assistance units and a control unit. Each parking assistance unit includes two slide rails, two brackets, and an image acquisition unit. Each bracket has a support plate on its upper part. Each bracket is slidably connected to each slide rail via a first roller. Each bracket is equipped with a drive motor that drives the first roller, so that the two brackets move synchronously along the slide rails. The image acquisition unit is used to acquire image information of the parking space area and the driving lane area opposite the parking space. The two slide rails are respectively set between the parking space and the driving lane, and are perpendicular to the parking space and the driving lane.

[0008] Each of the parking assistance units has an image acquisition unit, a drive motor, and a control unit, which are electrically connected to each other.

[0009] The mobile terminal connects to the control unit via a guide code and is used to send a stop or drive-away command to the control unit.

[0010] Preferably, the two slides of each parking assistance unit are arranged in a T-shape, and the two slides of each parking assistance unit are buried under the ground structure.

[0011] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the bottom of each of the slides of each parking assistance unit is provided with a guide rail, and the bottom of each bracket is provided with a slot that engages with the guide rail.

[0012] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the upper part of each guide rail is provided with a rack, and the circumferential surface of each first roller is provided with a gear that meshes with the rack.

[0013] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that the two slides of each parking assistance unit are provided with installation ports at the parking area.

[0014] In any of the above embodiments, it is preferred that a water-retaining strip higher than the ground structure is provided at the upper edge of each of the slides.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] The side-layout parking assist device provided by this utility model is suitable for installation in narrow spaces where reversing into a parking space is not feasible. Figure 1-3 As shown, each parking assistance unit is used to move a vehicle between the driving lane and the parking space. Specifically, each parking assistance unit includes two sliding rails 102, two brackets 105, and an image acquisition device. The two sliding rails 102 are respectively set between the parking space and the driving lane, for the brackets 105 to slide. According to the wheelbase of the small passenger car, the installation distance between the two sliding rails 102 should be maintained at 2300mm-2550mm, and the two sliding rails 102 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the parking space and the driving lane, respectively. When pedestrians walk in the driving lane or parking area, in order to ensure that the pedestrian's feet will not get stuck in the gaps at the top of each sliding rail 102, considering factors such as the supporting force of the brackets 105 and the characteristics of human feet, the gaps at the top of each sliding rail 102 should preferably be 2.5cm-3.5cm.

[0033] In each of the parking assistance units, the two slide rails 102 have a T-shaped cross-section, and the larger space at the lower end of the two slide rails 102 is used to accommodate the components at the bottom of the bracket 105. To facilitate quick installation of the slide rails 102 on the ground, each slide rail 102 can be pre-formed using profiles such as steel plates, and then buried in the ground of the parking lot to be installed. After the parking lot ground is paved with materials such as asphalt or cement, the slide rails 102 are buried under the structure, and the construction of the ground structure ensures that the slide rails 102 will not deform during use.

[0034] To ensure the stability of each bracket 105, each bracket 105 adopts a truss form. To reduce the friction when each bracket 105 slides at the slide rail 102, each bracket 105 is rolledly connected to the bottom of the slide rail 102 via a first roller 108. A drive motor 110 installed at each bracket 105 drives any of the first rollers 108 at that bracket 105 to achieve synchronous movement of the two brackets 105 at the parking assistance unit.

[0035] The support plates 101 set on the upper part of each bracket 105 are used to support the front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle, respectively. The upper part of the bracket 105 and the bottom of the support plate 101 are provided with connecting sleeves 104, and the support plates 101 are hinged to each connecting sleeve 104 by pins.

[0036] The image acquisition device at the parking assistance unit is used to collect image information of the parking area and the adjacent driving lane. The image recognition program at the control unit identifies pedestrians or objects in both areas to prevent danger when the vehicle parks or leaves. The image acquisition device should preferably be a high-definition camera.

[0037] When no vehicle is parked in the parking area at each of the aforementioned parking assistance units, the bracket 105 is positioned in the driving lane, waiting for a vehicle to park. When a vehicle needs to park, the bracket 105 pulls the vehicle into the parking area, and the bracket 105 remains in the parking area while holding the vehicle.

[0038] The control unit is provided with several I / O interfaces. The image acquisition unit of each parking assistance unit is electrically connected to the corresponding I / O interface of the control unit. Each drive motor 110 is connected in parallel with the power supply via a bidirectional relay. The bidirectional relay is electrically connected to the corresponding I / O interface of the control unit. The control unit controls the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 110 through the bidirectional relay to enable the drive motor 110 to drive the bracket 105 to move in the driving lane and parking area.

[0039] The guide code serves as a feature identifier for each parking assistance unit. When a vehicle needs to park, the driver or passenger scans the guide code on their mobile terminal to establish communication with the control unit, issuing a parking command. The image acquisition device captures images in real time and transmits them to the control unit. The control unit analyzes whether there are obstacles in the driving lane area and the corresponding parking area, and whether the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are accurately positioned on the pallet 101. When the conditions are met, the control unit controls the drive motor 110 to move the pallet 105, thereby bringing the vehicle from the driving lane into the parking area. When it is time to leave, the driver or passenger scans the guide code on their mobile terminal to establish communication with the control unit and pays the fee. The image acquisition device captures images in real time and transmits them to the control unit. The control unit analyzes whether there are obstacles in the driving lane area and the corresponding parking area, and whether the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are accurately positioned on the pallet 101. When the conditions are met, the control unit controls the drive motor 110 to move the pallet 105, thereby bringing the vehicle from the parking area into the driving lane.

[0040] It is understood that the function of the control unit depends on the control unit hardware itself and the program installed within the control unit. It should be noted that the program is written based on the aforementioned explanation of the working principle of the auxiliary device for parking in a side-layout parking lot. The specific assembly language used, the functions called, and the data debugging methods employed in the program are all prior art, and the program installed within the control unit of this application is not included in the content protected by this solution.

[0041] The algorithm used in image recognition can be either a traditional algorithm or a deep learning algorithm.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, in order to enable the bracket 105 to move along a preset trajectory when it slides at the slide rail 102, each slide rail 102 of each parking auxiliary unit is provided with a guide rail 111 at its bottom, and each bracket 105 is provided with a slot 109 at its bottom that is engaged with the guide rail 111.

[0044] During use, the first roller 108 contacts the upper part of the guide rail 111, and the lower part of the slot 109 does not contact the bottom of the slide 102 under the support of the guide rail 111.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, in order to prevent friction between the first roller 108 and the guide rail 111 when the drive motor 110 at each bracket 105 of each parking assistance unit drives the first roller 108 to rotate, thus causing the two brackets 105 to move asynchronously, a rack is provided on the upper part of each guide rail 111, and a gear that meshes with the rack is provided on the circumferential surface of each first roller 108.

[0047] Example 4:

[0048] Based on any of the embodiments 1-3, such as Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the bracket 105 at the corresponding slide rail 102, and to facilitate the removal of the bracket 105 from the slide rail 102 for maintenance or inspection, each of the parking auxiliary units has an installation port 107 located in the parking area on both slide rails 102. To prevent foreign objects from falling into the slide rail 102 through the installation port 107, a baffle may also be provided at the installation port 107.

[0049] Example 5:

[0050] Based on any of the embodiments 1-4, such as Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, to prevent rainwater from entering the slide 102 through the gaps in the slide 102, a water-retaining strip 103 higher than the ground structure is provided at the upper edge of each slide 102. The water-retaining strip 103 may be made of vulcanized rubber and fixed to the ground by expansion bolts.

[0051] Example 6:

[0052] Based on any of the embodiments 1-5, such as Figure 3 As shown, each bracket 105 moves along the slide rail 102. When the shaft length of the first roller 108 is short, in order to prevent the bracket 105 from contacting the side wall of the slide rail 102 and causing damage to the slide rail 102 or increasing the friction between the bracket 105 and the slide rail 102, a second roller 106 is provided at each bracket 105. When the bracket 105 slides along the slide rail 102, the first roller 108 contacts the side wall of the slide rail 102, so that the sliding friction becomes rolling friction.

[0053] Example 7:

[0054] Based on any of the embodiments 1-6, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the pallet 101 supports the vehicle, and the bracket 105 moves the pallet 101, in order to prevent the pallet 101 from rubbing against the ground, each pallet 101 includes a first plate 112 and a second plate 113. The edge of one side of each first plate 112 and second plate 113 is hinged to the bracket 105, and the lower part of the first plate 112 and second plate 113 is rolledly connected to the ground structure via a third roller.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the movement of the wheel to the pallet 101, the opposite edge of the first plate 112, the second plate 113 and the bracket 105 that are hinged together is provided with a folded edge that bends toward the ground structure.

[0056] Example 8:

[0057] Based on Example 7, in order to prevent slippage between the wheel and the first plate 112 or the second plate 113 when the vehicle is located at the pallet 101 in rainy or snowy weather, anti-slip textures are provided on the upper surfaces of the first plate 112 and the second plate 113. The anti-slip textures can be the same as the textures stamped on the first plate 112 and the second plate 113.

[0058] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
