Technical Field

[0002] A smart parking garage is a facility that uses advanced technology to achieve efficient parking management. The system combines advanced smart IC card identification technology with high-speed video image storage and comparison. Through computer image processing and automatic recognition, it manages all aspects of vehicle entry and exit from the parking lot, including payment, security, and parking space guidance.
[0003] In existing technologies, common parking guidance systems rely on cameras to capture images of parking spaces. The backend then analyzes these images to identify vehicles and license plate numbers, and uses different indicator lights to distinguish the vacancy status of parking spaces. However, due to the high cost of detection cameras, it is typically necessary to install a camera above each parking space, resulting in high construction costs. Therefore, we propose an intelligent parking lot space monitoring device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent parking lot space monitoring device, comprising: a horizontal bar 1, with parking spaces 17 set at the bottom of one side of the horizontal bar 1, a rotating column 3 rotatably mounted on the top of the horizontal bar 1 near the middle of two adjacent parking spaces 17, a rotating motor 4 connected to the bottom of the rotating column 3, a camera body 2 mounted on the top of the rotating column 3, an indicator light 5 set at the bottom of the horizontal bar 1 near the parking space 17, the indicator light 5 being located in the middle of adjacent parking spaces 17, and the camera body 2, the rotating motor 4, and the indicator light 5 all electrically connected to the same control terminal, which can control the camera body 2. The parking space information captured by the camera body 2 is fed back to the control terminal. After the control terminal determines whether the parking space is vacant, it controls the indicator light 5 to light up the corresponding color, so that people can judge whether the parking space is vacant by the color of the indicator light 5. The rotating motor 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the crossbar 1. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating column 3. The top of the rotating column 3 rotates through the crossbar 1 and is fixedly installed at the bottom middle of the camera body 2. The rotating motor 4 is controlled by the control terminal to rotate intermittently at a set angle, so as to drive the camera body 2 to rotate towards different parking spaces to capture parking space information.
[0026] A pressing component 6 is installed at the bottom of the camera body 2. Abutment rods 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing component 6. Abutment balls 8 are rotatably installed at the top of each abutment rod 7. Movable plates 15 are installed at the bottom of each abutment rod 7. Shrinkage grooves 14 are correspondingly formed on the surface of the crossbar 1 near the two movable plates 15. Limit springs 11 are connected to the bottom of each of the two movable plates 15. The camera body 2 is tilted, and the pressing component 6 is fitted over the bottom of the camera body 2 near the abutment rods 7. The inner wall of the pressing component 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the camera body 2, and both bottom corners of the pressing component 6 are curved surfaces. The longitudinal section of each shrinkage groove 14 is an inverted T-shape, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. The bottom ends of each abutment rod 7 are fixedly installed at the middle of the top of adjacent movable plates 15. The top ends of each abutment rod 7 slide out of adjacent shrinkage grooves 14, and both top ends of each abutment rod 7 are spherical. The bottom ends of the two limiting springs 11 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the adjacent shrinkage groove 14, and the top ends of the two limiting springs 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the adjacent moving plate 15.
[0027] Both limiting springs 11 have pressure sensors 10 installed inside, and the bottom of each pressure sensor 10 is connected to an elastic column 9. Two limiting blocks 12 are symmetrically installed on the side walls of the moving plate 15. Limiting grooves 13 are correspondingly formed on the inner walls of the two contraction grooves 14 near the adjacent limiting blocks 12. The pressure sensors 10 are also electrically connected to the same control terminal. When the camera body 2 faces a parking space 17, the adjacent abutment rod 7 is pressed down and abuts against the adjacent pressure sensor 10. The signal change of the corresponding pressure sensor 10 is fed back to the control terminal, thereby matching the parking space information captured by the camera body 2 with the corresponding parking space 17. The control terminal then controls the indicator light 5 on the top of the corresponding parking space 17 to illuminate in the corresponding color. Both moving plates 15 are slidably installed within the adjacent contraction grooves 14. Several moving balls 16 are rotatably installed on the side walls of both moving plates 15. Each moving ball 16 is rolled against the inner wall of the adjacent contraction groove 14, reducing the friction between the moving plate 15 and the inner wall of the contraction groove 14. Both elastic columns 9 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of adjacent contraction grooves 14. The top ends of both elastic columns 9 are fixedly connected to adjacent pressure sensors 10. The side walls of both elastic columns 9 and pressure sensors 10 do not contact adjacent limiting springs 11. Under the elastic action of the elastic columns 9, when the moving plate 15 abuts against the pressure sensor 10, it prevents the moving plate 15 from making hard contact with the pressure sensor 10. The side walls of both moving plates 15 are fixedly connected to two adjacent limiting blocks 12. The outer walls of both limiting blocks 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of adjacent limiting grooves 13.
[0028] When this device is working, the rotating motor 4 drives the camera body 2 to rotate, making it easy to face different parking spaces 17 and take pictures. Through the set abutment rod 7, abutment ball 8, moving plate 15 and limiting spring 11, when the extrusion member 6 rotates with the camera body 2 and extrudes the abutment rod 7, the abutment ball 8 reduces the friction between the abutment rod 7 and the extrusion member 6, making it easy for the abutment rod 7 to move longitudinally into the shrinkage groove 14. At this time, the limiting spring 11 is compressed. Through the set pressure sensor 10 and elastic column 9, when the abutment rod 7 moves down and abuts with the adjacent pressure sensor 10, the signal change of the corresponding pressure sensor 10 is fed back to the control terminal, thereby matching the parking space information captured by the camera body 2 with the corresponding parking space 17, making it easy to distinguish the different orientations of the camera body 2. Then, the control terminal controls the indicator light 5 on the top of the corresponding parking space 17 to light up the corresponding color, so that people can judge whether the parking space is vacant by the color of the indicator light 5. It realizes the function of two adjacent parking spaces 17 sharing one camera body 2, without the need to install a camera body 2 on top of each parking space 17, thus reducing the construction cost.
[0029] 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.
