Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a parking lot parking space monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Parking spaces in a parking lot are tiny "havens" tailor-made for each vehicle. They are arranged neatly like squares on a chessboard, each with clear boundaries, either outlined by white lines or marked by a number, quietly awaiting its "owner." Some spaces are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate large vehicles; others are compact and suitable for smaller cars. Empty spaces seem to wave to passing vehicles, extending a "welcome" invitation; while full spaces are like sleeping warriors, silently guarding their cars until they are awakened and driven away. Though silent, the parking spaces, with their orderly arrangement and clear division of labor, ensure the efficiency of the parking lot's operation and provide convenience and peace of mind for every driver.
[0003] Existing parking space monitoring equipment has significant drawbacks: fixed cameras have a single, non-adjustable angle, resulting in limited monitoring range. This necessitates the installation of numerous devices to cover the entire area, which not only significantly increases monitoring costs but also consumes substantial manpower for installation and maintenance. Furthermore, dust easily accumulates on the lens surface during long-term use, and manual cleaning is not only inefficient but also poses certain dangers for equipment at height. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a parking lot monitoring device. This invention addresses the limitations of fixed cameras mentioned in the background, which have a single, non-adjustable angle, resulting in a limited monitoring range. This necessitates the installation of numerous devices to cover the entire area, significantly increasing monitoring costs and consuming substantial manpower for installation and maintenance. Furthermore, dust easily accumulates on the lens surface during long-term use; manual cleaning is not only inefficient but also poses certain dangers for devices located at heights.
[0005] A parking lot space monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes:
[0006] The monitoring body;
[0007] The mounting component, installed at the bottom of the monitoring unit, is used to fix the monitoring equipment to the wall of the parking lot;
[0008] An adjustment mechanism is installed inside the protective shell of the mounting assembly to adjust the monitoring range of the monitoring equipment. The adjustment mechanism includes a bracket fixed inside the protective shell and a connecting column fixed to the bottom of the monitoring body. The connecting column is connected to the bracket through a first drive component to realize the lateral angle adjustment of the monitoring body. The connecting column is connected to the bracket through a second drive component to realize the longitudinal angle adjustment of the monitoring body.
[0009] A cleaning mechanism, installed inside the protective housing of the mounting assembly, is used to clean the lens surface of the monitoring device. The cleaning mechanism includes a first fixed base and a second fixed base, which are respectively fixed inside the protective housing. A first rotating arm is rotatably mounted on the top of the first fixed base, and a second rotating arm is mounted on top of the first rotating arm. A first slider is fixedly mounted on the upper end of one side of the top of the second rotating arm, and a first lever is fixedly mounted on one side of the first slider. A cleaning brush that fits against the lens surface of the monitoring device is fixedly mounted on one end of the first lever. The first rotating arm is connected to the second fixed base through a third drive assembly to clean the lens surface of the monitoring device. A spray assembly is installed on the outside of the protective housing.
[0010] Preferably, a supplementary light is fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom of the monitoring body.
[0011] Preferably, the installation assembly includes a protective shell, a mounting plate fixedly installed on one side of the protective shell and mounted on the wall, and a rubber sleeve fixedly installed between the top of the protective shell and the monitoring body.
[0012] Preferably, the first drive assembly includes a ring fixed to the bottom of the connecting column and a first servo motor fixed to the bottom of the bracket. The output end of the first servo motor is fixedly provided with a U-shaped frame, and the ring is rotatably arranged inside the U-shaped frame through a rotating shaft fixed on the outer side.
[0013] Preferably, the second drive assembly includes a first arm that rotates on the outside of the connecting column and a second servo motor that is fixed on the outside of the bracket. The output end of the second servo motor is fixedly provided with the first arm that rotates with the first arm.
[0014] Preferably, the first slider is movably positioned within a groove on the surface of the protective shell.
[0015] Preferably, the third drive assembly includes a turntable disposed on the side of the second fixed base corresponding to the first rotating arm. The turntable is fixedly disposed on the output end of the third servo motor. A second slider is movably disposed inside the groove on the surface of the turntable. A second lever located inside the first rotating arm is fixedly disposed on one side of the second slider. A reset spring is fixedly disposed between the bottom of the second slider and the groove of the turntable.
[0016] Preferably, the spray assembly includes a water collection box fixed to the outside of the protective shell and a water pump fixed inside the protective shell.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention effectively avoids the problem of blind spots caused by the single angle of the fixed camera in existing equipment through the setting of the adjustment mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal viewing angle of the monitoring body, the first servo motor drives the U-shaped frame at its output end to rotate. Since the U-shaped frame is connected to the bottom ring of the connecting column through the rotating shaft, the parking space monitoring equipment makes a horizontal circular motion under the drive of the first servo motor, thereby realizing a horizontal scan of ±180°. When adjusting the vertical direction, the second servo motor drives the second arm at its output end to rotate. The second arm is connected to the first arm that is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting column. The rotation of the second arm will push or pull the first arm, thereby driving the connecting column and the monitoring body to adjust the pitch angle around the horizontal axis. Therefore, the monitoring equipment can flexibly cover a large area of three-dimensional monitoring, significantly reducing the number of devices required to be installed, and greatly reducing the overall cost and manual labor of equipment procurement, installation wiring and subsequent maintenance.
[0019] This invention effectively avoids the problems of low efficiency and high-altitude operation risks associated with traditional manual cleaning through its cleaning mechanism. When the lens needs cleaning, the spray assembly is activated first. The water pump sends water filtered through the filter screen in the water collection box to the cleaning brush through the water pipe for spraying, wetting the lens surface and brush bristles. Subsequently, the third servo motor drives the turntable at its output end to rotate, and the second slider moves along the slot under the action of the return spring. The second lever pushes the first rotating arm to drive the cleaning brush to perform a horizontal reciprocating trajectory for cleaning. Combined with the sprayed cleaning liquid, dust and stains are efficiently removed. Thus, this mechanism can automatically complete the spraying and brushing actions without manual intervention, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and completely eliminating the safety hazards caused by manual climbing for cleaning.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0027] refer to Figure 1-4 A parking lot space monitoring device, comprising:
[0028] Monitoring Unit 1;
[0029] Mounting component 3 is installed at the bottom of the monitoring body 1 to fix the monitoring equipment to the wall of the parking lot. Mounting component 3 includes a protective shell 301. A mounting plate 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective shell 301 and mounted on the wall. A rubber sleeve 303 is fixedly installed between the top of the protective shell 301 and the monitoring body 1. First, the mounting plate 302 of mounting component 3 is fixed to the wall of the parking lot with expansion bolts. The components of the adjustment mechanism and cleaning mechanism are installed inside the protective shell for protection. At the same time, the installed rubber sleeve can seal the connection between the protective shell and the monitoring equipment to prevent dust from falling in and causing damage to the electrical components.
[0030] An adjustment mechanism 4, installed inside the protective shell 301 of the mounting assembly 3, is used to adjust the monitoring range of the monitoring equipment. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a bracket 401 fixed inside the protective shell 301 and a connecting column 402 fixed to the bottom of the monitoring body 1. The connecting column 402 is connected to the bracket 401 via a first drive assembly to achieve lateral angle adjustment of the monitoring body 1. The first drive assembly includes a ring 403 fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 402 and a first servo motor 406 fixed to the bottom of the bracket 401. A U-shaped frame 405 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the first servo motor 406. The ring 403 rotates within the U-shaped frame 405 via a rotating shaft 404 fixed on its outer side. The connecting column 402 is connected to the bracket 401 via a second drive assembly to achieve longitudinal angle adjustment of the monitoring body 1. The component includes a first arm 407 rotating on the outside of the connecting column 402 and a second servo motor 409 fixed on the outside of the bracket 401. The output end of the second servo motor 409 is fixedly provided with the first arm 407 rotating with the first arm 407. When it is necessary to adjust the lateral viewing angle of the monitoring body, the first servo motor drives the U-shaped frame at its output end to rotate. Since the U-shaped frame is connected to the bottom ring of the connecting column through the rotating shaft, the parking space monitoring device makes a horizontal circular motion under the drive of the first servo motor, thereby realizing a lateral scan of ±180°. When adjusting the longitudinal direction, the second servo motor drives the second arm at its output end to rotate. The second arm is connected to the first arm rotating on the outside of the connecting column. The rotation of the second arm will push or pull the first arm, thereby driving the connecting column and the monitoring body to adjust the pitch angle around the horizontal axis.
[0031] The cleaning mechanism 5, installed inside the protective shell 301 of the mounting assembly 3, is used to clean the lens surface of the monitoring body 1. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a first fixed base 501 and a second fixed base 502 respectively fixed inside the protective shell 301. A first rotating arm 503 is rotatably mounted on the top of the first fixed base 501, and a second rotating arm 504 is mounted on top of the first rotating arm 503. A first slider 505 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of one side of the second rotating arm 504, and a first lever 506 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first slider 505. A cleaning brush 507, which conforms to the lens surface of the monitoring device, is fixedly mounted on one end of the first lever 506. The first rotating arm 503 is connected to the second fixed base 502 via a third drive assembly to clean the lens surface of the monitoring device. The third drive assembly includes a turntable 508 disposed on the side of the second fixed base 502 corresponding to the first rotating arm 503. The turntable 508 is fixedly mounted on the output end of a third servo motor 516, and a groove on the surface of the turntable 508 is movably disposed inside. A second slider 509 has a second lever 510 fixedly mounted on one side, which slides inside the first rotating arm 503. A return spring 511 is fixedly mounted between the bottom of the second slider 509 and the slot of the turntable 508. A spray assembly is installed on the outside of the protective shell 301. The spray assembly includes a water collection box 512 fixed to the outside of the protective shell 301 and a water pump 513 fixed inside the protective shell 301. A filter screen 514 is installed on the top of the water collection box 512. The water collection box 512 and water... A water pipe 515 connects the pump 513 and the cleaning brush 507. When the lens needs to be cleaned, the spray assembly is started first. The water pump sends the water filtered by the filter screen in the water collection box to the cleaning brush through the water pipe for spraying, wetting the lens surface and brush bristles. Then, the third servo motor drives the turntable at its output end to rotate. The second slider moves along the slot under the action of the reset spring. The second lever pushes the first rotating arm to drive the cleaning brush to sweep in a horizontal reciprocating trajectory. With the sprayed cleaning liquid, dust and stains are efficiently removed.
[0032] Example 1: A supplementary light 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom of the monitoring body 1. The supplementary light 2 adopts a high-brightness LED light source to enhance the imaging effect at night or in low light conditions.
[0033] Example 2: The first slider 505 is movably disposed within the groove on the surface of the protective shell 301 to guide the cleaning brush.
[0034] Working principle: First, the mounting plate 302 of the mounting assembly 3 is fixed to the parking lot wall with expansion bolts, so that the protective shell 301 is stably attached. The protective shell 301 houses the core components of the adjustment mechanism 4 and the cleaning mechanism 5. Its top is sealed to the monitoring body 1 with a rubber sleeve 303 to prevent dust from entering and damaging the electrical components. When it is necessary to expand the horizontal monitoring range, the first servo motor 406 starts, driving the U-shaped frame 405 at its output end to rotate. Since the inner side of the U-shaped frame 405 is rotatably connected to the ring 403 at the bottom of the connecting column 402 through the rotating shaft 404, the rotation of the U-shaped frame 405 forces the connecting column 402 to drive the monitoring body 1 to make a horizontal circular motion, realizing ±180° horizontal scanning and covering a wider parking area. When it is necessary to adjust the pitch angle, the second servo motor 409 starts, driving the second arm 408 at its output end to rotate. The second arm 408 is connected to the first arm 407 hinged to the outside of the connecting column 402. The second arm 408 pushes and pulls, causing the connecting column 402 and the monitoring body 1 to tilt and swing around the horizontal axis, optimizing the monitoring angle of parking spaces at a distance or low position. When dust adheres to the lens of the monitoring equipment, the water pump 513 pumps the clean water filtered by the filter screen 514 in the water collection box 512 through the water pipe 515 to the cleaning brush 507 to wet the lens surface and brush bristles. The third servo motor 516 drives the turntable 508 to rotate. The second slider 509 in the slot of the turntable 508 moves back and forth under the combined action of centrifugal force and the return spring 511, causing the second lever 510 fixed on its side to slide inside the first rotating arm 503. The second lever 510 pushes the first rotating arm 503 to rotate around the first fixed seat 501, which in turn moves the second rotating arm 504 and the first slider 505 fixed at its top laterally along the slot on the surface of the protective shell 301. Finally, the cleaning brush 507 at the end of the first lever 506 wipes the lens surface back and forth, effectively removing the accumulated dust.
