Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrier gate technology, and in particular to a barrier gate for dual-vehicle-space management. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, parking barrier gates are being used more and more widely in the management of new energy charging parking spaces. Currently, parking barrier gate systems on the market have some limitations: each barrier gate can only manage a single parking space, requiring a corresponding number of barriers to manage multiple spaces. This not only increases the management cost per parking space, but also, in multi-space management scenarios, the installation of a large number of barriers occupies valuable parking space space, complicates layout planning, significantly increases parking difficulty and the risk of barrier damage, ultimately making parking management costs difficult to control. Therefore, traditional parking barrier gates still face some challenges in parking space management:

[0003] 1. Each barrier gate can only manage one parking space. If multiple parking spaces need to be managed, a corresponding number of barrier gates must be installed, which makes the management cost of a single parking space high.

[0004] 2. When managing multiple parking spaces, a large number of barrier gates need to be installed, which not only occupies too much parking space area, but also makes the layout planning of the barrier gates difficult, thereby greatly increasing the difficulty of parking and the possibility of barrier gate damage, making parking space management costs difficult to predict and control.

[0005] Furthermore, in existing barrier gate systems, license plate recognition cameras are typically installed on the barrier gate housing. In actual use, the front of a vehicle often obstructs the camera lens after entering a parking space, affecting the recognition effect. Additionally, the control and power circuits are often centrally located inside the barrier gate housing, making the control signals susceptible to electromagnetic interference, which affects the stability and response speed of the barrier gate arm. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a dual-parking-space management barrier gate to address the problem that a single barrier gate in the existing technology cannot manage two parking spaces simultaneously, thus affecting spatial layout and cost control.

[0007] A dual-parking-space management barrier gate includes a barrier gate assembly and a camera assembly respectively located at opposite ends of parking spaces. The camera assembly is used to identify the license plates of vehicles in two adjacent parking spaces. The barrier gate assembly includes a barrier gate housing and two barrier arms. The two barrier arms are movably connected to the barrier gate housing. The two barrier arms are deployed to occupy two adjacent parking spaces respectively. A control unit, two drive motors, and a power supply assembly are disposed inside the barrier gate housing. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the barrier arms. The control unit is electrically connected to the power supply assembly and the drive motors respectively. The control unit is communicatively connected to the camera assembly. The control unit is used to control the rotation of the drive motors and receive signals sent by the camera assembly. The power supply assembly is used to provide electrical energy.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] Vehicle parking: When a vehicle approaches a parking space, the camera component recognizes the license plate. If the camera component recognizes that the vehicle is a new energy vehicle license plate, it sends a signal to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit controls the drive motor to operate and raises the corresponding barrier gate to allow the vehicle to enter the parking space.

[0010] Vehicle departure: When a vehicle leaves the parking space, the camera component detects that the vehicle has left and sends a signal to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit controls the drive motor to operate, lowers the corresponding barrier arm, and restores the parking space to its normal state.

[0011] Because the camera component's recognition range can cover two adjacent parking spaces, the control unit can simultaneously receive parking space status signals from two parking spaces and control two drive motors respectively to achieve independent operation of the two barrier arms. This setup allows a single barrier to manage two parking spaces, reducing the number of barrier boxes, saving parking space, reducing the number of barrier box hardware devices used, and lowering equipment procurement and maintenance costs.

[0012] Furthermore, by independently setting the camera component at the end of the parking space away from the barrier gate component and facing the barrier gate box, this application enables the camera to directly capture the vehicle's license plate position, effectively avoiding the obstruction of the camera lens by the front of the vehicle when entering the parking space, thus ensuring the continuity and accuracy of license plate recognition.

[0013] Meanwhile, by opening a first and second cavity that are isolated from each other inside the barrier gate box, and arranging the control unit, drive motor and power supply components in separate cavities, this application effectively avoids electromagnetic interference of high-voltage components to low-voltage control signals, improves the stability of control signals, ensures the reliability and response speed of the barrier gate arm, and enhances the overall operating quality of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, a first cavity and a second cavity are opened at opposite ends of the gate housing, with a gap between the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, the control unit and the drive motor are disposed within the first cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the power supply assembly is disposed within the second cavity. The power supply assembly includes a switching power supply and an air switch, and the switching power supply is electrically connected to the air switch.

[0017] Furthermore, the barrier gate housing is also provided with an end cover and a door. The end cover is fixedly connected to the barrier gate housing and is used to cover the first cavity. The door is movably connected to the barrier gate housing to open and close the second cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, the door is equipped with a lock.

[0019] Furthermore, the camera assembly includes a base and a camera disposed on the base, the camera being positioned toward the gate housing.

[0020] Furthermore, a charging gun is also provided on the base. Attached Figure Description

Embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Furthermore, the various embodiments of the invention, the features within those embodiments, and the features of the embodiments may be freely combined without obvious conflict or contradiction.

[0027] A dual-parking-space management barrier, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a barrier gate assembly 1 and a camera assembly 2, which are respectively located at opposite ends of the parking space.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the barrier gate assembly 1 includes a barrier gate housing 11 and two gate arms 12. The two gate arms 12 are rotatably connected to the barrier gate housing 11. The two gate arms 12 unfold to occupy two adjacent parking spaces respectively. The two gate arms 12 unfold into a straight line, and their lifting and lowering rotation directions are opposite. One gate arm 12 rises and rotates in a clockwise direction, and the other gate arm 12 rises and rotates in a counterclockwise direction. The rotation of the two gate arms 12 does not interfere with each other.

[0029] Specifically, a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112 are formed at opposite ends of the barrier gate housing 11, with a gap between them. A control unit 1111 and a drive motor 1112 are housed within the first cavity 111. The control unit 1111 is electrically connected to both the power supply assembly 1121 and the drive motor 1112. The power supply assembly 1121, comprising a switching power supply 11211 and an air switch 11212, is electrically connected to the air switch 11212. The output of the drive motor 1112 is connected to the barrier gate arm 12. The control unit 1111 controls the rotation of the output of the drive motor 1112, and the power supply assembly 1121 provides electrical energy. The first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 are formed at opposite ends of the barrier gate housing 11, and end covers 13 and doors 14 are respectively provided at corresponding positions, thus creating two independent spaces. Both the control unit 1111 and the drive motor 1112 are housed inside the first cavity 111. This layout significantly shortens the signal transmission path, enabling the control signals emitted by the control unit 1111 to be quickly and accurately transmitted to the drive motor 1112, ensuring the efficient operation of the barrier gate system. Simultaneously, the output of the drive motor 1112 is directly connected to the barrier gate arm 12. This direct connection effectively reduces the waiting time during the raising and lowering of the barrier gate arm 12, improving the barrier gate's response speed and passage efficiency.

[0030] Because there is a reasonable gap between the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112, the switching power supply 11211 installed in the second cavity 112 can avoid interference from the control unit 1111 signal, ensuring that the switching power supply 11211 can provide stable and clean power support for the entire system.

[0031] Specifically, the barrier gate housing 11 is also equipped with an end cover 13 and a door 14. The end cover 13 is fixedly connected to the barrier gate housing 11 and is used to cover the first cavity 111. The door 14 is rotatably connected to the barrier gate housing 11 and is used to open and close the second cavity 112. The door 14 is equipped with a door lock 141. The first cavity 111 is sealed by the end cover 13, which provides reliable protection for the internal control unit 1111 and drive motor 1112, significantly reducing the adverse effects of external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, temperature changes, etc.) on its normal operation, effectively extending the service life of the equipment, and enhancing system stability. By simply opening the door lock 141 and rotating the door 14, the switching power supply 11211 and the air switch 11212 in the second cavity 112 can be easily operated. After maintenance, closing the door 14 completes the sealing structure of the barrier gate housing 11. By locking the door lock 141, effective control of the barrier gate box 11 can be achieved, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.

[0032] Specifically, the control unit 1111 is communicatively connected to the camera assembly 2. The camera 2 is used to identify the license plates of vehicles in two adjacent parking spaces, and the control unit 1111 is used to receive signals sent by the camera 2. The camera assembly 2 includes a base 21 and a camera 22 mounted on the base 21, with the camera 22 facing the barrier gate housing 11. A charging gun (not shown) is also mounted on the base 21, facing the barrier gate housing 11. This orientation design allows the camera 22 to cover the areas of two adjacent parking spaces, thereby realizing the license plate recognition function of these two parking spaces. By capturing images of vehicle license plates and converting the images into digital signals for processing and analysis, the signal containing license plate information is finally sent to the control unit 1111. In actual parking management scenarios, when a vehicle enters two adjacent parking spaces, the camera 22 in the camera assembly 2 captures the vehicle's license plate image, processes it internally, and transmits the signal containing information such as the license plate number to the control unit 1111. After receiving the signal, the control unit 1111 determines whether the license plate information indicates a new energy vehicle. Simultaneously, based on the control logic of the barrier gate housing 11, it determines whether to open the barrier gate arm 12 to allow vehicles to pass, or to perform a control operation on the barrier gate arm 12 when a vehicle leaves. The control unit 1111 has two signal receiving control circuits, allowing it to process the two license plate images detected by the camera 22 independently. The charging gun supplies power to new energy vehicles.

[0033] This utility model relates to the following: For vehicle parking: When a vehicle approaches a parking space, camera 22 identifies the license plate. If the license plate is for a new energy vehicle, camera 22 sends a signal to control unit 1111. Upon receiving the signal, control unit 1111 controls drive motor 1112 to operate, raising the corresponding barrier arm 12 to allow the vehicle to enter the parking space. For vehicle departure: When the vehicle leaves the parking space, camera 2 detects that the vehicle has left and sends a signal to control unit 1111. Upon receiving the signal, control unit 1111 controls drive motor 1112 to operate, lowering the corresponding barrier arm 12 and restoring the parking space to its normal state. Because the recognition range of camera 2 can cover two adjacent parking spaces, control unit 1111 can simultaneously receive parking space status signals from two parking spaces and control two drive motors 1112 respectively, achieving independent operation of the two barrier arms 12. This configuration allows a single barrier to manage two parking spaces, reducing the number of barrier housings 11, saving parking space, reducing the number of hardware devices used in the barrier housings 11, and lowering equipment procurement and maintenance costs.
