[0022] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a parking management toll gate system, including a parking lot exit control processor 1, a license plate camera detection device 2, a gate control device 3, a parking lot data storage device 4, and a remote control switch device 5. The gate control device 3 is connected to a barrier arm 6, which is made of aluminum alloy or fiberglass and has a hollow structure, making it lightweight. The gate control device 3 includes an automatic control mechanism for controlling the barrier arm 6 to rise and fall automatically, and a manual control mechanism for controlling the barrier arm 6 to rise and fall manually.

[0025] This utility model, combining a parking lot exit control processor 1, a license plate camera detection device 2, a barrier gate control device 3, a parking lot data storage device 4, a remote control switch device 5, and a barrier gate 6, enables users to quickly scan a code to leave the parking lot. The automatic control mechanism can control the barrier gate 6 to rise based on signals from the parking lot exit control processor 1 or the remote control switch device 5. It can also be manually raised in case of a malfunction, thus effectively avoiding the problem of the barrier gate failing to rise after scanning payment due to network or equipment issues.

[0026] Specifically, the barrier gate control device 3 also includes a housing 7, and the automatic control mechanism includes a motor 8 and a gearbox 9 fixedly installed in the housing 7. The motor 8 is connected to the gearbox 9, and the barrier arm 6 is connected to the gearbox 9. Further, the gearbox 9 includes a housing 91, in which a worm gear 92 and a worm 93 are rotatably arranged. The worm 93 meshes with the worm gear 92. The worm 93 is vertically arranged, and its lower end extends out of the housing 91 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 8. A power output shaft 94 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 92. The power output shaft 94 extends out of the housing 91 and is connected to the barrier arm 6. Therefore, when the motor 8 rotates, it can drive the worm gear 92 through the worm 93, thereby driving the barrier arm 6 to rotate through the power output shaft 94, realizing the lowering and raising.

[0027] In this utility model, a rail rod mounting base 61 is detachably connected to one end of the rail rod 6. The rail rod mounting base 61 and the rail rod 6 can be fixed together by screws, which facilitates disassembly and assembly when the rail rod 6 is damaged. Then, a connecting bushing 62 is fixedly connected to the side of the rail rod mounting base 61 facing the power output shaft 94, and the power output shaft 94 passes through the housing 7 and is fixedly connected to the connecting bushing 62.

[0028] In this invention, the manual control mechanism includes a manual rotating wheel 95, with the upper end of a worm gear 93 extending through a housing 91 and a shell 7. The manual rotating wheel 95 is detachably fitted onto the upper end of the worm gear 93. The manual rotating wheel 95 has a connecting sleeve 951 fitted onto the upper end of the worm gear 93. The hole in the connecting sleeve 951 and the upper end of the worm gear 93 have a non-rotating structure, such as a hexagonal hole and a hexagonal prism. When not in use, the manual rotating wheel 95 can be pulled upwards and removed for management by the gatekeeper. Rotation of the manual rotating wheel 95 drives the worm gear 93, which in turn drives the guide rod 6 to rotate via the worm wheel 92, achieving both lowering and raising. The motor 8 is not a self-locking motor; it is an asynchronous motor without a brake, and therefore will not interfere with the manual rotation of the worm gear 93.

[0029] In this utility model, the housing 7 is provided with an inspection port 71, and the inspection port 71 is covered with an inspection door 72, which is used to facilitate maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the gate control device 3.

[0030] It should also be further explained that, in this embodiment, the parking management toll gate system has the function of raising the gate by scanning the code again after the user has paid for the exit, so as to enable the user to leave in a timely manner.

[0031] The parking lot exit control processor 1 contains a parking lot exit control system, which processes the secondary scanning logic, verifies the order validity, and provides an open door button. It also coordinates with other components to send control signals to trigger the barrier to open.

[0032] The license plate camera detection device 2 is used to monitor the status of vehicles exiting the station in real time, verify whether a vehicle is parked, and associate it with the order. It also needs to periodically receive recognition signals to prevent users from opening doors for other vehicles.

[0033] The barrier gate control device 3 is used to receive control signals and then perform the raising and lowering operation of the barrier arm 6.

[0034] The parking lot data storage device 4 contains a parking lot database, which stores parking orders, payment records, secondary scanning records, and maintenance orders. When a certain number of secondary scannings are accumulated and exceed a threshold, a maintenance order is automatically generated.

[0035] The remote control switch device 5 is based on a redundant switch of an independent network to ensure the reliability of the gate opening signal transmission.

[0036] It should be noted that the control circuits that control the motor 8 in the parking lot exit control processor 1, license plate camera detection device 2, parking lot data storage device 4, remote control switch device 5, and barrier gate control device 3 are all existing technologies. The functions to be achieved are supported by a large number of mature technologies. The essence of this embodiment is to optimize the vehicle exit logic for specific application scenarios.

[0037] When using it:

[0038] 1. User payment and initial lever raising trigger

[0039] Step 1: User scans QR code to pay

[0040] Users scan a fixed QR code at the parking lot exit to complete the parking fee payment via mobile payment. After successful payment, the system sends a gate-raising command to the gate control device.

[0041] Step 2: Initial lever lifting verification

[0042] Upon receiving the instruction, the barrier gate control device raises the barrier. Simultaneously, the license plate camera detection device captures images of vehicles in real time and matches them with entry records in the parking lot's database to ensure vehicle legitimacy.

[0043] Abnormal scenario handling:

[0044] If the barrier gate does not lift after the first payment (due to network latency / equipment failure), the system will mark the order as "payment successful but barrier gate not lifted" and trigger a secondary scanning mechanism (a sign can be placed next to the lane).

[0045] 2. Secondary scanning process and redundancy control

[0046] Step 3: User scans the code a second time.

[0047] The user rescans the same exit QR code, and the system queries the parking database based on the lane information to verify the order payment status. If the payment is successful, the user interface displays the "Manual Door Opening Button".

[0048] Step 4: Dual signal triggering

[0049] After the user clicks the door open button, the parking lot exit control system simultaneously sends instructions to the following components:

[0050] License plate camera detection device: Immediately scans exiting vehicles and compares the current license plate with the license plate associated with the order to see if they match.

[0051] Remote control switch device: Sends a lifting signal to the barrier gate via an independent network (4G + wired dual redundancy).

[0052] Signal coordination logic:

[0053] Parallel execution: The lever is raised upon success of any signal (such as successful camera verification or successful reception of remote switch signal).

[0054] Priority control: If the camera detects that the vehicle has left, the remote switch signal will automatically become invalid to prevent accidental operation.

[0055] 3. Dynamic vehicle condition monitoring and fault self-diagnosis

[0056] Step 5: Periodic checks and status updates

[0057] The parking lot exit control system sends a recognition request to the license plate camera every 30 seconds to confirm whether the vehicle is still at the exit.

[0058] If the vehicle leaves (e.g., after the barrier is raised), the system updates the order status to "exit completed" and releases the lane resources.

[0059] Fault diagnosis mechanism:

[0060] Threshold setting:

[0061] Static threshold: The number of times a single lane needs to scan the code twice per day is ≤3 (default value).

[0062] Dynamic threshold: Automatically increases to 5 during peak hours to avoid misjudgment due to temporary network fluctuations.

[0063] Alarm triggered:

[0064] If the same order triggers two consecutive scans exceeding the threshold, the system will automatically generate a maintenance order, marked as "license plate camera malfunction" or "network anomaly".

[0065] Maintenance orders are sent to maintenance personnel via SMS / APP, requiring on-site inspection.

[0066] 4. Safety and Redundancy Design

[0067] Enhanced security:

[0068] Multi-factor authentication: The user's real-time location (matching the exit location) needs to be obtained during the second scan to prevent remote unauthorized opening.

[0069] Dynamic token technology: A one-time encrypted token is generated each time the QR code is scanned, preventing the QR code from being copied or replayed.

[0070] AI anti-counterfeiting detection: License plate cameras integrate AI algorithms to identify obscured or counterfeit license plates, triggering a manual review process.

[0071] Redundancy control:

[0072] Dual network transmission: The remote control switch uses both 4G and wired network channels, and automatically switches to the backup link when either channel is interrupted.

[0073] Local manual backup: If the remote switch completely fails, maintenance personnel can control the barrier gate locally via the physical button. If the button control is also unresponsive, the manual rotary wheel can be turned to control the barrier.

[0074] 5. Data Flow and System Interaction

[0075] Core data flow:

[0076] 1. Payment order synchronization: The payment platform synchronizes the payment status to the parking lot database in real time.

[0077] 2. License plate comparison: The camera captures the license plate number and matches it with the entry records in the database.

[0078] 3. Signal transmission: The parking lot exit control system sends commands to remote switches via the MQTT protocol and interacts with cameras via the HTTP protocol.

[0079] 4. Record storage: The number of secondary scans, maintenance orders, and vehicle status are written to the database in real time for subsequent analysis and auditing.

[0080] 6. Fault handling and closed-loop operation and maintenance

[0081] Maintenance order processing flow:

[0082] 1. After the system detects a device failure, it automatically generates a maintenance order that includes the failure type, location, and time.

[0083] 2. The maintenance order is pushed to the maintenance personnel's mobile terminal and marked with the urgency level (such as "high priority").

[0084] 3. After on-site inspection, maintenance personnel will report the results via the APP. The system will then update the equipment status and reset the secondary barcode count.

[0085] This system employs a four-layer logical closed loop—payment, verification, redundancy control, and fault self-checking—to ensure that users can quickly exit the system even in the event of payment anomalies.

[0086] 1. Initial payment failed: The system marks the order as abnormal and initiates a second scanning mechanism.

[0087] 2. Secondary QR code trigger: Dual verification (payment status + license plate matching) ensures the legality of the operation.

[0088] 3. Redundant signal transmission: Independent network and parallel instructions ensure the reliability of lever raising.

[0089] 4. Dynamic operation and maintenance management: Threshold monitoring and automated operation and maintenance orders enable rapid fault response.
