Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking guidance technology, specifically a parking guidance structure. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of modern urban transportation infrastructure, parking lots serve the core function of providing safe and orderly parking spaces for vehicles, alleviating dynamic traffic congestion, and supporting the operational efficiency of commercial, residential, and public areas. Parking guidance systems, through visual signage, intelligent technology, or digital navigation, construct a spatial awareness framework to help drivers quickly locate parking spaces, optimize their routes, and reduce congestion and safety hazards caused by wayfinding.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222440118U discloses a parking lot guidance sign. A handwheel drives a rotating shaft, which in turn rotates a connecting plate and indicator arrows, facilitating arrow angle adjustment. The sign is inserted into a mounting plate for easy replacement and reduced cost. However, while the device uses multiple LEDs to outline the arrows and illuminate them to improve visibility even in low light, the LEDs remain constantly lit when no vehicles are passing, resulting in energy waste. Furthermore, the device is positioned using a base plate, requiring the entire device to be moved, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a guiding structure for parking lots, which has the advantages of significantly reducing ineffective power consumption, achieving energy self-sufficiency and energy saving, while improving the stability of the device during use and reducing problems such as shaking and displacement, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a parking lot guide structure, including a base, with multiple sets of universal wheels installed opposite each other at the bottom end of the base, and a support rod installed at the top end. A connector is installed at the top end of the support rod, and a sensor is embedded in the top front of the connector. An exit indicator sign, an entrance indicator sign, and a parking lot indicator sign are sequentially fixedly installed on the front of the connector near the bottom end of the sensor. A solar photovoltaic panel is supported at the top end of the connector via a connecting rod. A battery storage box is embedded in the bottom side of the support rod. A side door is rotatably installed on the front of the battery storage box via a hinge. A fixing structure is fixedly installed on the side of the base.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the support rod is fixed to the top end of the base by welding, and the top end is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting body by welding. The top end of the connecting body is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting rod by welding. The base, support rod, connecting body and connecting rod form a main support structure, and the interior of the support structure is hollow.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output end of the solar photovoltaic panel is connected to the input end of the storage box via a charging control line.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a timer is fixedly installed inside the support rod by bolts. The output end of the battery box is centrally connected to the input ends of the sensor, timer, exit indicator light, entrance indicator light, and parking lot indicator light via a main power line. The output end of the sensor is connected to the input end of the timer via a signal line to transmit a trigger signal. The output end of the timer is sequentially connected to the exit indicator light, entrance indicator light, and parking lot indicator light via a signal bus to achieve sequential control of their illumination.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the fixing structure includes multiple sets of support plates welded to the side of the base. Each pair of support plates is fixedly connected by a fixing column. A movable rod is slidably installed through the fixing column. A ground gripping block is welded and fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable rod. The top ends of each pair of movable rods are fixedly connected by a crossbar. The middle end of the top of the crossbar is movably connected to the frame by a telescopic rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output end of the battery storage box is connected to the input end of the telescopic rod via an independent power line.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a guide structure for parking lots, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This utility model triggers the light sign to light up sequentially in a cycle through sensors, activating only when a vehicle approaches, greatly reducing unnecessary power consumption. Combined with the cooperation of solar photovoltaic panels and a storage box, it achieves energy self-sufficiency and energy saving. At the same time, each component is connected by clear signals and power supply to ensure stable operation and reduce the probability of failure.

[0015] 2. This utility model is easy to move. After being moved, the telescopic rod drives the horizontal bar to extend and retract under the support of the frame, causing the movable rod to slide inside the fixed column. This, in turn, causes the gripping block to fit tightly against the ground, which can firmly fix the device in the required position. Even when there is slight vibration from vehicle traffic or external interference such as wind, it can ensure that the device does not shake or shift. This provides a reliable foundation for the stable operation of components such as signs and ensures the continuous and effective functioning of the guidance function. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A parking lot guide structure includes a base 1, with multiple sets of casters 2 mounted opposite each other at the bottom of the base 1, and a support rod 3 mounted at the top. A connector 4 is mounted at the top of the support rod 3. A sensor 5 is embedded in the top of the front of the connector 4, and an exit indicator sign 6, an entrance indicator sign 7, and a parking lot indicator sign 8 are sequentially fixedly mounted on the bottom of the front of the connector 4 near the sensor 5. A solar photovoltaic panel 10 is supported at the top of the connector 4 by a connecting rod 9. A battery box 11 is embedded in the bottom of the side of the support rod 3. A side door 12 is mounted on the front of the battery box 11 by a hinge. A fixing structure 13 is fixedly mounted on the side of the base 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the base 1, support rod 3, connector 4, and connecting rod 9 are welded together to form a main support structure, which maintains the gravity support of the basic structure of the device. At the same time, the hollow support structure facilitates the cable connection between the electrical equipment of the device, avoiding damage caused by exposed cables and electrical hazards.

[0028] Furthermore, the output end of the solar photovoltaic panel 10 is connected to the input end of the storage box 11 via a charging control line, thereby achieving the effect of power supply to the inside of the storage box 11, providing basic power supply, and providing a stable power source for subsequent equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, sensor 5 uses a Panasonic AW-CE421 infrared pyroelectric sensor. When sensor 5 detects a vehicle approaching, it transmits a trigger signal to a timer via a signal line. The timer starts timing and generates a control signal to prioritize illuminating the exit indicator light 6. After the timer's preset timing time expires, it generates a control signal to illuminate the entrance indicator light 7. After the timer's preset timing time expires again, it generates a control signal to illuminate the parking lot indicator light 8. This continues until sensor 5 loses its signal and turns off. This achieves the effect that the exit indicator light 6, entrance indicator light 7, and parking lot indicator light 8 only activate when a vehicle approaches. Furthermore, the sequential activation of the exit indicator light 6, entrance indicator light 7, and parking lot indicator light 8 reduces power consumption and achieves energy-saving effects.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Furthermore, the device is first moved to the desired position using the casters 2. The casters 2 are a prior art feature, and their function will not be described in detail here. When the device is moved to the desired position, the telescopic rod 136 is activated. The telescopic rod 136 is a JIELIFLYLFT-25 electric push rod, which is supported by the rod frame 137. While the telescopic rod 136 is extending and retracting, it drives the crossbar 135 to extend and retract synchronously. The movable rod 133 slides inside the fixed column 132 due to the extension and retraction of the crossbar 135, which drives the gripping block 134 to adhere to the ground. This achieves the effect of fixing the gripping block 134 to the ground through the telescopic rod 136, the crossbar 135, and the movable rod 133, increasing the stability of the device when it is placed. At the same time, the fixed column 132 guides the movement trajectory of the movable rod 133, and the support plate 131 supports the fixed column 132.

[0032] Furthermore, the output end of the battery storage box 11 is connected to the input end of the telescopic rod 136 via an independent power line, providing power input to the telescopic rod 136 and maintaining its normal operation.

[0033] In use, first move the device to the desired position using the casters 2. Then activate the telescopic rod 136. The telescopic rod 136 extends and retracts, causing the crossbar 135 to extend and retract synchronously. The movable rod 133 slides inside the fixed column 132 due to the extension and retraction of the crossbar 135, causing the gripping block 134 to adhere to the ground. This achieves the effect of fixing the gripping block 134 to the ground through the telescopic rod 136, crossbar 135, and movable rod 133, increasing the stability of the device during placement. Simultaneously, the base 1, support rod 3, connector 4, and connecting rod 9 are welded together to form a main support structure, maintaining the gravity support of the device's basic structure. The hollow support structure facilitates cable connections between the device's electrical equipment, avoiding damage caused by exposed cables and electrical hazards. Solar photovoltaic panel 10... The battery storage box 11 provides power to the device's electrical equipment. During use, when sensor 5 detects a vehicle approaching, it transmits a trigger signal to the timer via a signal line. The timer starts timing and generates a control signal to first control the exit indicator light 6 to light up. After the timer's preset timing time is completed, it generates a control signal to control the entrance indicator light 7 to light up. After the timer's preset timing time is completed again, it generates a control signal to control the parking lot indicator light 8 to light up. This continues until sensor 5 loses its signal and turns off. This achieves the effect that the exit indicator light 6, entrance indicator light 7, and parking lot indicator light 8 will only be activated when a vehicle approaches. Furthermore, by activating the exit indicator light 6, entrance indicator light 7, and parking lot indicator light 8 sequentially, the power supply is reduced, achieving an energy-saving effect.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
