Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking technology, and in particular to a parking lot QR code payment sign. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the widespread use of cars, entering and exiting parking lots has become an indispensable part of self-driving travel. Currently, with the widespread application of mobile payment technology, parking fees can now be paid without going through a manual window. Instead, one can simply scan the QR code payment sign in the parking lot with their mobile phone when leaving, which is simple to operate and highly efficient.
[0003] The shortcomings of traditional parking lot QR code payment signs are as follows: Currently, the vast majority of QR code payment signs are QR code posters affixed to advertising boards. In low-light conditions, such as outdoor parking lots without lighting at night, it is difficult for a mobile phone camera to clearly capture the QR code. Users often need to turn on their phone's flashlight to illuminate the QR code before scanning, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in traditional parking lot QR code payment signs. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a parking lot QR code payment sign, which is equipped with a sound-triggered light source component to provide the conditions for voice-controlled lighting of the QR code poster, solving the problem of inconvenience for users to scan the code in low-light scenarios and improving the user experience.
[0005] A parking lot QR code payment sign includes:
[0006] Back panel; The back panel has storage slots, a first sliding groove, and a second sliding groove arranged in parallel from the inside out;
[0007] A light source assembly mounted on the back panel; the light source assembly includes: a light strip, a control board connected to the light strip, and a voice-activated switch connected to the control board; both the light strip and the control board are housed in a storage slot; the voice-activated switch is attached to the bottom of the back panel;

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it is a parking lot QR code payment sign 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 includes: a back plate 10, a light source assembly 20 mounted on the back plate 10, a QR code assembly 30 mounted on the back plate 10, a panel 40 mounted on the back plate 10, and a top cover 50 mounted on the back plate 10. The back plate 10 provides the necessary support structure for the installation of the light source assembly 20, the QR code assembly 30, and the panel 40. Furthermore, the back plate 10, the panel 40, and the top cover 50 together form a cavity structure that provides enclosed protection for the light source assembly 20 and the QR code assembly 30.
[0041] The following text, combined with Figures 1 to 7 Further explanation is provided regarding the aforementioned parking lot QR code payment sign 100.
[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the back panel 10 is provided with a storage groove 11, a first sliding groove 12, and a second sliding groove 13 arranged in parallel from the inside to the outside.
[0043] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the light source assembly 20 includes: a light strip 21, a control board 22 connected to the light strip 21, and a sound-activated switch 23 connected to the control board 22. Both the light strip 21 and the control board 22 are housed in a storage slot 11. The sound-activated switch 23 is attached to the bottom of the back panel 10. When the volume of external sound reaches the trigger threshold of the sound-activated switch 23 (the required sound level can be adjusted by adjusting the sensitivity button or knob of the sound-activated switch 23), the sound-activated switch 23 generates a start signal and sends it to the control board 22, which then illuminates the light strip 21.
[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, the advantage of attaching the voice-activated switch 23 to the bottom of the back panel 10 is that, with the help of gravity, the probability of the voice-activated switch 23 being attached to dust or rainwater can be reduced.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control board 22 needs to be connected to an external power source (e.g., mains power) during installation. Therefore, based on the need for energy conservation and environmental protection, improvements can be made to address the power supply issue. For example, in other embodiments, the light source assembly 20 may also include a solar panel and a battery respectively connected to the control board 22. The solar panel is mounted on the top cover 50, and the battery is housed in the storage compartment 11. Under sufficient sunlight, solar energy can be collected and stored using the solar panel and battery, achieving self-sufficiency in electricity or saving on electricity costs.
[0046] In this embodiment, the light strip 21 is an LED light strip. LED light strips can provide a high-brightness light source and have a long service life.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of light strips 21 is multiple and evenly spaced in the storage slot 11. The multiple evenly spaced light strips 21 can provide a uniform backlight effect for the QR code poster 32, resulting in a better user experience.
[0048] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the QR code component 30 includes: a positioning frame 31 that slides along the first groove 12, and a QR code poster 32 attached to the positioning frame 31. Figure 4 As shown, during installation, the QR code poster 32 is first installed on the positioning frame 31, and then the positioning frame 31 is inserted from top to bottom into the first groove 12 of the back plate 10.
[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning frame 31 has a U-shaped structure, and the four corners of the QR code poster 32 are fixed to the positioning frame 31 with thumbtacks. The U-shaped positioning frame 31 not only facilitates sliding connection with the first slide groove 12, but also provides good support for the four sides of the QR code poster 32. In addition, compared with the plate structure, the U-shaped positioning frame 31 can save materials, which is beneficial for saving materials and reducing costs. The thumbtack fixing method facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the QR code poster 32, improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, panel 40 is a transparent plate and is slidably connected to the second groove 13. (See reference...) Figure 4 During assembly, the panel 40 is inserted from top to bottom into the second groove 13 of the back panel 10.
[0051] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 4As shown, the top cover 50 is detachably connected to the top of the back panel 10 to close the storage slot 11, the first slide 12, and the second slide 13.
[0052] Brief description of working principle:
[0053] In low-light conditions, the driver can trigger the voice-activated switch 23 by clapping or pressing the car horn. The control board 22 then receives the activation signal from the voice-activated switch 23 and illuminates the light strip 21. The illuminated light strip 21 forms a backlight behind the QR code poster 32, providing sufficient light for the driver to scan the QR code poster 32 with their mobile phone. For example, the light strip 21 can be illuminated for a delay of 10 to 30 seconds, giving the driver ample time to operate.
[0054] Furthermore, in this design, both the QR code component 30 and the panel 40 are mounted on the back plate 10 via a sliding connection, making them easy to install and remove, especially convenient for replacing the QR code poster 32. Additionally, the QR code poster 32 is internally mounted, preventing it from being damaged by external dust and rain.
[0055] Furthermore, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 can be designed in different ways depending on the installation scenario.
[0056] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 may further include a vertical bracket 60 connected to the back plate 10. The vertical bracket 60 is located on top of the back plate 10 and is offset from the voice-activated switch 23. The vertical bracket 60 is easy to move or install at any time. For example, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 can be placed directly at the gate of the parking lot entrance or exit, or at a location where users can scan the code to pay in advance.
[0057] Furthermore, the vertical bracket 60 can be a height-adjustable structure. This height-adjustable design allows for easy adjustment of the height of the QR code poster 32 to suit different placement locations. For example, if the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 is placed directly at the gate at the parking lot entrance, the height of the vertical bracket 60 can be lowered to allow users to scan the code while seated in their vehicles. If the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 is placed at a pre-payment location, the height of the vertical bracket 60 can be appropriately raised to allow users to stand while scanning the code.
[0058] For example, in other embodiments, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 may also include a hook for connecting to the back panel 10. The hook is located on the back of the back panel 10 for hooking onto a wall. The hook provides a wall-mounting installation method, which is simple and convenient to install. For example, the parking lot QR code payment sign 100 can be hung on the outer wall of the security booth at the entrance of the parking lot, or on a street lamp pole inside the parking lot.
[0059] The aforementioned parking lot QR code payment sign 100 is equipped with a sound-triggered light source component 20, which provides the conditions for voice-controlled lighting of the QR code poster 32, solving the problem of inconvenience for users to scan the code in low-light scenarios and improving the user experience.
[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0061] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
