Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] To prevent parking spaces from being occupied, existing private parking spaces are equipped with parking locks. The most common parking locks on the market are ground locks. However, because ground locks are installed on the ground, they are easily damaged by water accumulation. To solve the problem of water accumulation affecting parking locks, we provide a suspended parking lock. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a suspended parking lock.

[0004] The suspended parking lock of this utility model includes:

[0005] The lock body is installed above the parking space to block or restrict vehicles from entering the parking space;

[0006] A drive mechanism is installed on the garage above the parking space and is flexibly connected to the lock body via a connector, so that the lock body is suspended above the parking space.

[0007] Vehicle detectors and alarms;

[0008] The drive mechanism includes a signal receiver for controlling startup and a signal transmitter adapted to the signal receiver.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism includes a mounting box, inside which are a motor, a winding rod, and a winding wheel. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the winding rod, the winding wheel is mounted on the winding rod, the connector is mounted on the winding wheel, and its end is mounted on a lock body. The output shaft of the motor drives the winding wheel to rotate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the take-up rod via an electromagnetic clutch, and the drive mechanism further includes a damping unit installed inside the mounting box to dampen the take-up rod or take-up wheel.

[0011] In some embodiments, the damping unit includes a plurality of positioning slots formed around the winding rod, and a limiting block mounted inside the mounting box via an elastic element toward the positioning slots, wherein the end of the limiting block is provided with an arc-shaped structure adapted to the positioning slots.

[0012] In some embodiments, the length of the connector is greater than the distance between the take-up reel and the rear of the parking space.

[0013] In some embodiments, the winding reel includes a fixed ring and a rotating wheel, the rotating wheel having a central mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity having a torsion spring for connecting the fixed ring and the rotating wheel.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model activates an alarm after a vehicle enters a parking space using a vehicle detector, thereby reminding the driver to move the vehicle or remotely call the property management or parking space owner to handle the parking space being occupied; while the lock body is suspended above the parking space through a drive mechanism and connecting parts, which can avoid being affected by water accumulation in the parking space.

[0016] When the driver is the owner or authorized person of the parking space, he can send a signal through the signal transmitter, which will be received by the signal receiver and control the drive mechanism to start, causing the lock body to rise and release the restriction on parking space 4.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a damping unit to prevent the winding rod from rotating after the motor is powered off and stops working, thus saving power consumption by eliminating the need for the motor to be constantly working and preventing the lock body from falling and affecting vehicles in the parking space after the entire equipment is powered off.

[0018] At the same time, when a vehicle unintentionally occupies a parking space, it may accidentally collide with the lock body and push it. The vehicle's thrust can then cause the winding wheel and winding rod to rotate, thereby lowering the connecting piece and preventing the lock body from getting stuck on the rear of the vehicle and causing damage to the vehicle or the device.

[0019] 3. When a vehicle unintentionally occupies a parking space and accidentally collides with and pushes the lock body, the vehicle's thrust can cause the central rotating wheel of the winding wheel to rotate, thereby lowering the connecting piece. This prevents the lock body from getting stuck on the rear of the vehicle and causing damage to the vehicle or the device. When the vehicle receives the alarm and leaves, the rotating wheel rotates back under the push of the torsion spring, causing the lowered connecting piece to be retracted to its initial position.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Please see Figures 1-2 The suspended parking lock of this utility model includes:

[0032] Lock body 1 is installed above parking space 4 to block or restrict vehicles from entering parking space 4;

[0033] Drive mechanism 2 is installed on the garage above parking space 4 and is flexibly connected to lock body 1 through connector 3, so that lock body 1 is suspended above parking space 4;

[0034] The drive mechanism 2 includes a signal receiver for controlling the start-up and a signal transmitter adapted to the signal receiver.

[0035] The vehicle detector and alarm are used to detect vehicles entering parking space 4 through vision, radar or collision sensors. After the vehicle detector detects a vehicle, it is processed by the PLC and the alarm is activated to remind the driver to move the car or remotely call the property management or the owner of parking space 4 to deal with the occupation of parking space 4.

[0036] The drive mechanism 2 includes a mounting box 21. Inside the mounting box 21 are a motor 22, a winding rod 24 and a winding wheel 25. The output shaft of the motor 22 is connected to the winding rod 24. The winding wheel 25 is mounted on the winding rod 24. The connecting piece 3 is mounted on the winding wheel 25 and its end is mounted on the lock body 1. The output shaft of the motor 22 drives the winding wheel 25 to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment:

[0038] The vehicle detector preferably uses a push-button switch as the collision sensor. The push-button switch is equipped with a contact block for vehicle collision and is installed on the lock body 1. When a vehicle occupies parking space 4, the collision push-button switch closes the circuit and activates the alarm, thereby reminding the driver to move the vehicle or remotely call the property management or the owner of parking space 4 to deal with the occupation of parking space 4.

[0039] When the driver is the owner or authorized person of parking space 4, he can send a signal through the signal transmitter, and after the signal receiver receives it, it controls the drive mechanism 2 to start, causing the lock body 1 to rise and release the restriction on parking space 4.

[0040] Simply put, the alarm can provide sound, light, or remote communication alerts, while the control mechanism 2 can be used for remote control.

[0041] The lock body 1 is suspended above the parking space 4 via the drive mechanism 2 and the connector 3, which can prevent it from being affected by water accumulation in the parking space 4.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Please see Figures 2-5 As a further improvement to Embodiment 1, the output shaft of the motor 22 is connected to the take-up rod 24 via the electromagnetic clutch 23, and the drive mechanism 2 also includes a damping unit 26, which is installed inside the mounting box 21 to dampen the take-up rod 24 or the take-up wheel 25.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] After the damping unit 26 cuts off the power to the motor 22 and stops working, the winding rod 24 does not rotate, so that the motor 22 does not need to be in working state all the time, thereby saving power consumption and preventing the lock body 1 from falling and affecting the vehicle in parking space 4 after the entire equipment is powered off.

[0046] Meanwhile, when a vehicle unintentionally occupies parking space 4, it may accidentally collide with and push the lock body 1. The vehicle's thrust can then cause the winding wheel 25 and winding rod 24 to rotate, thereby lowering the connecting piece 3 and preventing the lock body 1 from getting stuck on the rear of the vehicle and causing damage to the vehicle or the device.

[0047] Specifically, the damping unit 26 includes a plurality of positioning grooves 261 formed around the winding rod 24, and a limiting block 262 installed inside the mounting box 21 via an elastic element 263 toward the positioning grooves 261. The end of the limiting block 262 is provided with an arc-shaped structure that matches the positioning grooves 261.

[0048] By providing damping by placing the limiting block 262 in the positioning groove 261 of the winding rod 24 through the elastic element 263, when the motor 22 and the electromagnetic clutch 23 are powered on and started, the winding rod 24 is driven by the motor 22 and can apply a sufficient rotational force to squeeze the elastic element 263, so that the limiting block 262 can slide out of the initial positioning groove 261. This allows the winding rod 24 to rotate without being affected by the limiting block 262 when driven by the motor 22, and to be blocked and limited by the limiting block 262 after the driving force of the motor 22 is lost, thereby preventing the lock body 1 from falling and affecting the vehicle in the parking space 4 after the overall power failure of the equipment.

[0049] Specifically, the length of the connector 3 is greater than the distance between the winding wheel 25 and the tail of the parking space 4, ensuring that the length of displacement of the lock body 1 after being pushed by the vehicle body can exceed the range of the parking space 4.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] Please see Figure 6 As a further improvement of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the winding wheel 25 includes a fixed ring 251 and a rotating wheel 252. The rotating wheel 252 has a mounting cavity 253 in the center, and a torsion spring 254 for connecting the fixed ring 251 and the rotating wheel 252 is provided inside the mounting cavity 253.

[0052] Working principle:

[0053] When a vehicle unintentionally occupies parking space 4, it may accidentally collide with and push the lock body 1. The vehicle's thrust will cause the central rotating wheel 252 of the winding wheel 25 to rotate, thereby lowering the connecting piece 3. This prevents the lock body 1 from getting stuck on the rear of the vehicle and causing damage to the vehicle or the device. When the vehicle receives the alarm and leaves, the rotating wheel 252 will rotate under the push of the torsion spring 254, causing the lowered connecting piece 3 to return to its initial position.

[0054] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
