[0030] Nowadays, when car owners drive out, they may temporarily occupy other people's parking spaces, block parked cars, or obstruct the road. Usually, car owners place a parking sign with their phone number on the windshield so that others can contact them quickly. However, in related technologies, the parking sign number is always exposed, which can easily reveal the car owner's phone number. This utility model proposes a parking sign that aims to solve the technical problem of how to cover contact information according to user needs.
[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the parking sign includes: a base 10, the top wall of which is provided with a display area 11 for displaying contact information; and a movable cover 20, which is rotatably connected to the base 10. The movable cover 20 has a closed position and an open position on its rotation path. When the movable cover 20 is in the closed position, it 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, it opens the display area 11 to expose it.
[0032] 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.
[0033] 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.
[0034] 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.
[0035] The rotation of the movable cover 20 can be manually driven or automatically driven by a drive structure. Specifically, for example... Figure 3As shown, the base 10 has a mounting cavity 12, and the parking sign also includes a drive device 30 installed in the mounting cavity 12. The output shaft of the drive device 30 is connected to the movable cover plate 20 to drive the movable cover plate 20 to rotate. The movable cover plate 20 has a connecting part on its side, and the connecting part has a connecting hole. The top wall of the base 10 has a mounting groove, and the groove wall of the mounting groove has a through hole communicating with the mounting cavity 12. The drive device 30 is a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive device 30 extends into the mounting groove through the through hole. The connecting part is located in the mounting groove, and the output shaft of the drive device 30 cooperates with the connecting hole so that the output shaft of the drive device 30 can drive the movable cover plate 20 to rotate. In this way, each time it is necessary to drive the movable cover plate 20 to cover or open the display area 11, no manual operation by the user is required, thereby improving the convenience of using the parking sign.
[0036] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the parking sign also includes a main control board 40 and a communication module installed in the mounting cavity 12. The main control board 40 is electrically connected to the drive device 30. The communication module is installed on the main control board 40 and is used to communicate with the vehicle's infotainment system and mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal can control the vehicle to lock or unlock through the communication module. The main control board 40 is configured to control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the open position when the communication module controls the vehicle to lock; and to control the drive device 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the closed position when the communication module controls the vehicle to unlock.
[0037] The communication module can be paired and communicate with the car's infotainment system and the user's mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is a smart terminal, such as a mobile phone, smartwatch, or smart bracelet, which is a smart device that the user can carry with them.
[0038] The communication module allows users to wirelessly communicate with the vehicle's infotainment system via their mobile devices, enabling functions such as locking and unlocking the car. There are various communication methods between the communication module and the mobile device and the vehicle's infotainment system, such as Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, or 5G networks; no specific method is specified here.
[0039] For example, the communication module can be part of a smart key system. A smart key system (PASSIVEKEYLESS ENTER), or PKE for short, uses RFID wireless radio frequency technology and a vehicle identification coding system. It employs a miniaturized, low-power radio frequency antenna development scheme, integrating a remote control system and a keyless system. It retains traditional vehicle circuit protection, achieving a dual radio frequency system and dual anti-theft protection. In a PKE system, the car acts as a base station, and the parking number plate acts as a transponder to achieve two-way communication. The communication module includes components such as a receiving antenna, microcontroller, high-frequency transmitting circuit, low-frequency receiving circuit, and control switches.
[0040] Of course, the communication module can also be a component in ultra-wideband wireless carrier communication technology. Ultra-wideband (UWB) employs a new wireless technology that differs significantly from traditional communication technologies. It transmits and receives data from vehicles using extremely narrow pulses at or below the nanosecond level, boasting a bandwidth in the range of 3.1–10.6 GHz, making it less susceptible to interference from other signals. Through UWB interaction between the parking number plate and the vehicle, and utilizing positioning algorithms, the distance to the vehicle can be identified down to the centimeter level, enabling rapid response and allowing users to control their vehicles automatically and seamlessly using the parking number plate.
[0041] By installing the communication module inside the parking sign, it can easily connect to the vehicle's infotainment system, allowing mobile devices such as smartphones or smartwatches to control the car from outside. This eliminates the need to modify the vehicle's wiring or hardware when using the parking sign, as only pairing the communication module with the infotainment system and the mobile device is required, significantly improving vehicle control convenience. Since the parking sign's position inside the vehicle is relatively stable, the distance between the communication module and the infotainment system remains relatively constant, ensuring strong communication signals and enhancing vehicle control performance.
[0042] The main control board 40 controls the drive unit 30 via the operation of the communication module, thereby driving the movable cover 20 to rotate to the corresponding position. The main control board 40 includes a main control circuit, a car lock trigger circuit, and an unlock trigger circuit. The main control circuit is electrically connected to the drive unit 30, and both the car lock trigger circuit and the unlock trigger circuit are electrically connected to the main control circuit. The car lock trigger circuit and the unlock trigger circuit are also electrically connected to the communication module. When the communication module controls the car to lock, it triggers the car lock trigger circuit, which sends a first electrical signal to the main control circuit. Based on this first electrical signal, the main control circuit controls the drive unit 30 to drive the movable cover 20 to the open position. Thus, when the user locks the car, the movable cover 20 can be triggered simultaneously to open the display area 11, eliminating the need for additional steps. This prevents users from forgetting to open the movable cover 20 before getting out of the car, improving the convenience of using the parking sign.
[0043] When the communication module controls the car to unlock, it triggers the unlocking trigger circuit. The unlocking trigger circuit 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 rotate to the closed position. In this way, the user can simultaneously unlock the car and trigger the movable cover 20 to cover the display area 11 without any additional operation steps, improving the convenience of using the parking sign. The main control board 40, communication module, and drive device 30 can be powered by the car. For example, the parking sign has a power interface, which can be electrically connected to the car's interface via an electrical connection cable, allowing the car to supply power to the parking sign.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the parking sign also includes a battery 50 installed in the mounting cavity 12. The battery 50 is electrically connected to the main control board 40 and provides power. The battery 50 supplies power to the main control board 40, which then distributes the power to the communication module and the drive device 30. Thus, the parking sign can operate independently without maintaining an electrical connection to the vehicle. A charging interface is provided on the base 10 for charging the battery 50 using an external power source.
[0045] For example, such as Figure 5 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.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 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.
[0047] For example, such as Figure 6As 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.
[0048] 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.
[0049] 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.
[0050] 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.
[0051] 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.
