Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking lock technology, and in particular to a swing-arm type parking space management parking lock device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, the number of vehicles owned is increasing year by year, and the pressure on urban parking is constantly increasing. As a result, more and more large parking lots and municipal parking spaces on the roadside are being planned. However, parking lots and roadside parking spaces require manual supervision by workers, and the payment method is basically based on drivers scanning QR codes to pay. However, at present, many drivers on the roadside parking spaces do not pay parking fees or fail to pay, while parking lots will scan QR codes to pay at the exit, which seriously affects the traffic efficiency of vehicles and easily causes congestion at the exit of parking lots. Some drivers will follow the car to evade payment, which causes chaos in the management of parking lots and roadside parking spaces. At the same time, the issue of parking fees can also easily cause social conflicts.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model document proposes a swing-arm type parking space management ground lock device. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a swing-arm type parking space management ground lock device, which facilitates self-management of individual parking spaces, avoids the phenomenon of evading payment for roadside parking spaces, and also facilitates parking lot management and reduces the chance of congestion at parking lot exits.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A swing-arm type parking space management ground lock device includes a rectangular shell with an opening along its length on one side. A rotatable swing arm and a motor that drives the swing arm to rotate are provided in the opening. The swing arm is a hollow rectangular shell. A lifting mechanism is hinged to the side of the swing arm. A top cover is provided on the top of the lifting mechanism. An electric push rod that drives the lifting mechanism to move is provided on the inner bottom surface of the swing arm.

[0007] A connector is fixedly installed on the side wall of the opening. The connector has a U-shaped cross-section and houses a motor. First positioning grooves are symmetrically provided on both side walls corresponding to the opening side. A hinge is rotatably installed on the connector. The hinge has a U-shaped cross-section and second positioning grooves on both side walls corresponding to the opening side. The output shaft of the motor is a D-shaped shaft that passes through the first and second positioning grooves. A mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the hinge corresponding to the second positioning groove. A positioning pin is provided in the mounting hole and engages with the plane of the output shaft. The middle part of the hinge is fixedly connected to the swing arm.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes two sets of symmetrically arranged hinge components. Each hinge component includes two connecting plates, each with connecting holes at both ends and in the middle. A connecting shaft is provided in each connecting hole. The two connecting plates are connected through the connecting hole in the middle and the connecting shaft. The bottom ends of the two connecting plates are rotatably mounted on the swing arm, and the top ends are rotatably mounted on the top cover. The two connecting plates are distributed in a cross pattern. The swing arm has a first sliding groove and a first through hole symmetrically arranged on both side walls along its length. The top cover has a second sliding groove and a second through hole at the corresponding positions. One end of one connecting plate is rotatably mounted in the first sliding groove via the connecting shaft, and the other end is rotatably mounted in the second through hole via the connecting shaft. One end of the other connecting plate is rotatably mounted in the second sliding groove via the connecting shaft, and the other end is rotatably mounted in the first through hole via the connecting shaft. The electric push rod is connected to the connecting shaft in the first sliding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the motor is a DC worm gear reducer motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting shafts in the two first slide grooves are connected together, the connecting shafts in the two second slide grooves are connected together, and the output shaft of the electric push rod is connected to the connecting shaft in the first slide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a positioning plate is vertically provided at one end of the connector, and a first positioning hole is opened on the positioning plate. A bolt is provided in the first positioning hole, and the connector is fixed to the side wall of the opening by the bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, a second positioning hole is provided in the middle of the hinge, and a bolt is provided in the second positioning hole. The hinge is fixed to the end face of the swing arm by the bolt.

[0013] In this invention, a motor drives the swing arm to rotate, causing it to rotate to a position below the vehicle. Then, an electric push rod drives the lifting mechanism to move, causing the top cover of the lifting mechanism to rest against the vehicle's chassis. After the driver pays the fee, the electric push rod drives the lifting mechanism to descend, and then the motor drives the swing arm back into the opening of the housing. When used in roadside parking spaces, this prevents drivers from not paying parking fees. When used in parking lots, drivers pay the parking fee in advance, avoiding congestion at the exit.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Reference Figures 1-9As shown, a parking swing arm 2 ground lock device driven by a motor 5 includes a rectangular shell 1 with an opening 101 on one side along its length. The opening 101 contains a rotatable swing arm 2 and a motor 5 that drives the swing arm 2 to rotate. The swing arm 2 is a hollow rectangular shell. A lifting mechanism is hinged to the side of the swing arm 2. A top cover 6 is provided on the top of the lifting mechanism. An electric push rod 7 that drives the lifting mechanism to move is provided on the bottom surface of the swing arm 2.

[0032] A connector 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the opening 101. The connector 3 has a U-shaped cross-section and a motor 5 is installed inside it. The two side walls are symmetrically provided with first positioning grooves 301 corresponding to the positions of the opening 101. A hinge 4 is rotatably installed on the connector 3. The hinge 4 has a U-shaped cross-section and a second positioning groove 402 is opened on the two side walls corresponding to the positions of the opening 101. The output shaft of the motor 5 is a D-shaped shaft. The output shaft of the motor 5 passes through the first positioning groove 301 and the second positioning groove 402. The side wall of the hinge 4 is provided with a mounting hole 403 corresponding to the position of the second positioning groove 402. A positioning pin 401 is provided in the mounting hole 403. The positioning pin 401 is engaged with the plane of the output shaft. The middle part of the hinge 4 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 2.

[0033] The positioning pin 401 and the output shaft of the motor 5 are aligned on the same plane, so that the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 5 can drive the hinge 4 to rotate. The hinge 4 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 2, which in turn can drive the swing arm 2 to rotate without affecting the connecting piece 3. The first positioning groove 301 and the second positioning groove 402 facilitate the installation of the motor 5, and the motor 5 is locked inside the connecting piece 3.

[0034] The output shaft of motor 5 rotates, driving hinge 4 to rotate, which in turn drives swing arm 2 to rotate, positioning swing arm 2 under the vehicle. Then, electric push rod 7 drives lifting mechanism to rise, causing top cover 6 to move and rest against the vehicle chassis. After the driver pays the parking fee, electric push rod 7 drives lifting mechanism to descend, separating top cover 6 from the vehicle chassis. When top cover 6 returns to its initial position, motor 5 operates, driving hinge 4 to rotate, which in turn drives swing arm 2 to rotate back into opening 101. At this point, swing arm 2 will not affect vehicle movement, allowing the vehicle to leave the parking space. If used in roadside municipal parking spaces, this prevents vehicles from refusing to pay parking fees or failing to pay, thus facilitating roadside parking management. If used in parking lots, it prevents vehicles from following each other to evade payment, and requires drivers to pay in advance, preventing congestion at parking lot exits.

[0035] The lifting mechanism includes two sets of symmetrically arranged hinge components. Each hinge component includes two connecting plates 203. Connecting holes 204 are provided at both ends and the middle of each connecting plate 203. A connecting shaft 205 is installed within each connecting hole 204. The two connecting plates 203 are connected through the connecting hole 204 and the connecting shaft 205. The bottom ends of the two connecting plates 203 are rotatably mounted on the swing arm 2, and the top ends are rotatably mounted on the top cover 6. The two connecting plates 203 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. A first sliding groove 201 and a second sliding groove 202 are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the swing arm 2 along its length. A through hole 202 is provided, and a second slide groove 601 and a second through hole 602 are provided at the corresponding position of the top cover 6. One end of a connecting plate 203 is rotatably disposed in the first slide groove 201 via a connecting shaft 205, and the other end is rotatably disposed in the second through hole 602 via a connecting shaft 205. One end of another connecting plate 203 is rotatably disposed in the second slide groove 601 via a connecting shaft 205, and the other end is rotatably disposed in the first through hole 202 via a connecting shaft 205. The electric push rod 7 is connected to the connecting shaft 205 in the first slide groove 201.

[0036] The electric push rod 7 drives the connecting shaft 205 in the first slide groove 201 to move, causing the ends of the two connecting plates 203, which are distributed in a cross shape, to move towards each other, thereby raising the horizontal height of the other end and lifting the top cover 6 at the end. Meanwhile, the ends of the two connecting plates 203 move away from each other, causing the horizontal height of the other end to drop, thus lowering the top cover 6 at the end.

[0037] Two sets of hinge components ensure that the force on both sides of the top cover 6 is uniform, and the top cover 6 rises or falls stably without tilting, thus preventing the top cover 6 from getting stuck on the swing arm 2.

[0038] The first groove 201 and the second groove 601 facilitate the electric push rod 7 to move the end of the connecting plate 203 closer to the end of the other connecting plate 203. The first through hole 202 and the second through hole 602 ensure that the end of the other connecting plate 203 will not move, thus ensuring that the ends of the two connecting plates 203 can move towards each other or away from each other.

[0039] Motor 5 is a DC worm gear reducer motor.

[0040] The DC worm gear reducer motor 5 has sufficient torque to drive the swing arm 2 to rotate, but it will not rotate too quickly, thus avoiding damage to the vehicle.

[0041] The connecting shafts 205 in the two first slide grooves 201 are connected to each other, and the connecting shafts 205 in the two second slide grooves 601 are connected to each other. The output shaft of the electric push rod 7 is connected to the connecting shaft 205 in the first slide groove 201.

[0042] The connecting shafts 205 in the first slide groove 201 are connected to form a whole, and the connecting shafts 205 in the second slide groove 601 are connected to form a whole, ensuring that the two connecting shafts 205 move synchronously, thereby ensuring the synchronous rise of both sides of the top cover 6, and avoiding the top cover 6 being higher on one side and lower on the other, which would damage the vehicle chassis.

[0043] One end of the connector 3 is vertically provided with a positioning plate 302, and a first positioning hole 303 is opened on the positioning plate 302. A bolt is provided in the first positioning hole 303, and the connector 3 is fixed to the side wall of the opening 101 by the bolt.

[0044] The positioning plate 302 is fixed to the side wall of the opening 101 by bolts and first positioning holes 303, thereby fixing the connector 3 to the side wall of the opening 101 for easy installation of the connector 3.

[0045] The hinge 4 has a second positioning hole 404 in the middle, and a bolt is provided in the second positioning hole 404. The hinge 4 is fixed to the end face of the swing arm 2 by the bolt.

[0046] The hinge 4 is fixed to the swing arm 2 by bolts and the second positioning hole 404, so that the hinge 4 can drive the swing arm 2 to move together when rotating.

[0047] In use, an electric push rod 7 is fixed inside the swing arm 2. First sliding grooves 201 and first through holes 202 are symmetrically arranged on both side walls of the swing arm 2, while second sliding grooves 601 and second through holes 602 are symmetrically arranged on the top cover 6. The middle parts of two connecting plates 203 are rotatably connected via a connecting shaft 205, making the two connecting plates 203 cross-shaped. One end of one connecting plate 203 is rotatably disposed in the first through hole 202 via the connecting shaft 205, and the other end is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 601 via the connecting shaft 205. One end of the other connecting plate 203 is rotatably disposed in the second sliding groove 601 via the connecting shaft 205. The second end is in the second through hole 602, and the other end is slidably set in the first slide groove 201 through the connecting shaft 205. The connecting shaft 205 in the first slide groove 201 is connected, and then connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 7. The connecting piece 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the opening 101 through the positioning plate 302, and the hinge piece 4 is fixed to the end of the swing arm 2 through bolts. The motor 5 is then clamped in the inner wall of the connecting piece 3, and the output shaft of the motor 5 enters through the first positioning groove 301. The hinge piece 4 is clamped on the output shaft of the motor 5 through the second positioning groove 402, and then the positioning pin 401 is clamped in the plane of the output shaft of the motor 5.

[0048] The output shaft of motor 5 rotates, causing the hinge 4 to rotate, which in turn causes the swing arm 2 to rotate. After the vehicle stops in the parking space, the swing arm 2 rotates out of the opening 101. When the swing arm 2 rotates under the vehicle, motor 5 stops working, and electric push rod 7 pushes the end of one connecting plate 203 closer to the end of another connecting plate 203. The two connecting plates 203 move towards each other, causing the top cover 6 on top of the two connecting plates 203 to rise. After the top cover 6 abuts against the vehicle chassis, electric push rod 7 stops working, and the top cover 6 continues to abut against the chassis. When the driver pays the fee, electric push rod 7 works, causing the two connecting plates 203 to move in opposite directions, which in turn causes the top cover 6 to fall. After the top cover 6 is lowered to the initial position, electric push rod 7 stops working, and the output shaft of motor 5 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the swing arm 2 to rotate back into the opening 101, and the driver can then drive away.

[0049] In practical use, a solar cell and a controller are installed inside the housing 1. The solar cell provides power to the motor 5 and the electric push rod 7, while the controller controls the start and stop of the motor 5 and the electric push rod 7. The controller can also be connected to the payment system, so that after the driver pays, the controller can automatically control the motor 5 and the electric push rod 7 to work, making parking space management more intelligent.

[0050] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
