Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking lock technology, and in particular to a parking lock with a light-emitting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, parking locks are commonly used parking management devices in parking lots, residential communities, and other locations, and are widely used in ground-mounted installations. However, existing parking locks have significant shortcomings in practical use. Because parking locks are typically installed directly on the ground, their color, similar to the ground, and low visibility make them difficult for drivers or pedestrians to notice, especially at night or in dimly lit underground garages. On the one hand, drivers may fail to notice the parking lock in time, resulting in scrapes on the vehicle's undercarriage and property damage; on the other hand, pedestrians are also prone to tripping over parking locks due to poor visibility, leading to falls and injuries. While some existing technologies attempt to improve visibility by applying reflective paint, the reflective effect relies on external light sources and has poor durability, failing to meet practical usage requirements.

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, this application proposes a parking lock with a light-emitting device, a technical solution that can effectively improve the visibility of the parking lock in low-light environments, thereby eliminating safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a parking lock with a light-emitting device, which aims to solve the technical problem that the visibility of the parking lock is poor at night or in dim lighting conditions, which can easily lead to safety accidents.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A parking lock with a light-emitting device includes a base, a baffle rotatably connected to the base, and a main board with a main control chip. A mounting plate is provided on the baffle, and a light-emitting device is provided on the mounting plate. The light-emitting device and a battery are electrically connected to the main board.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned parking lock with a light-emitting device, the main board is mounted on the base.

[0008] Furthermore, in the parking lock with a light-emitting device, a groove is provided on the mounting plate, and the light-emitting device is disposed in the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, in the parking lock with the light-emitting device, the light-emitting device has a number of positioning holes, and the mounting plate has positioning pins that are equal in number to the number of positioning holes and correspond one-to-one, with each positioning pin inserted into the corresponding positioning hole.

[0010] Furthermore, in the parking lock with the light-emitting device, the mounting plate and the baffle are arranged in parallel.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned parking space lock with a light-emitting device, the light-emitting device includes multiple LED beads.

[0012] Furthermore, in the parking lock with a light-emitting device, an LED driver chip is provided on the main board, and the light-emitting device is an LED light board, which is electrically connected to the LED driver chip.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned parking space lock with a light-emitting device, the light-emitting device is a display screen, and the main board is equipped with circuitry for driving the display screen.

[0014] Furthermore, in the parking lock with a light-emitting device, the main board is equipped with at least one of the following modules: Bluetooth module, Wi-Fi module, infrared remote control module, and RFID module.

[0015] Furthermore, in the parking lock with a light-emitting device, the mainboard is equipped with an RS-485 serial port and / or a 4G wireless communication module.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This utility model provides a parking lock with a light-emitting device, which has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] (1) Enhanced safety: By setting up a light-emitting device, whether using LED beads, LED light panels or display screens, the location of the parking lock can be clearly indicated at night or in dim lighting conditions. This effectively prevents the vehicle chassis from being scratched due to the driver's failure to notice the parking lock in time, reducing property damage; at the same time, it also prevents pedestrians from tripping over the parking lock due to poor visibility and falling and getting injured, greatly reducing the probability of safety accidents.

[0018] (2) Enhanced functionality: The motherboard is equipped with at least one of the following modules: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared remote control, and RFID, enabling remote control and intelligent identification. Users can remotely operate the parking lock via a mobile app or computer software, such as opening the parking lock in advance, improving ease of use; the RFID module can automatically identify authorized vehicles, automatically unlock and display a welcome message, restricting unauthorized vehicles from occupying the space and protecting the rights of parking space owners.

[0019] (3) Improved convenience: The mounting plate and the baffle are connected by bolts, and the light-emitting device and the mounting plate are installed by interference fit of positioning pins and positioning holes, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the present utility model is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a parking lock with a light-emitting device. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not proportional to an actual product. The drawings only show structures relevant to the present utility model; some conventional structures are not specifically depicted. The term "several" as used herein refers to a quantity of one or more, and "multiple" refers to a quantity of two or more. Since the quantity of the structures referred to is not a specific inventive point, it is not specifically limited.

[0031] The parking lock with a light-emitting device includes a base 11 and a baffle 12 rotatably connected to the base; it also includes a main board (not shown in the figure), on which a main control chip (not shown in the figure) is mounted; a mounting plate 2 is mounted on the baffle, and a light-emitting device 3 is mounted on the mounting plate, the light-emitting device being electrically connected to the main board. The main control chip is preferably a microcontroller.

[0032] Furthermore, the motherboard is mounted on a base. A motherboard receiving cavity is formed on the base. Figure 1 (Corresponding to position 101), place the motherboard in the motherboard housing and close the cover. This effectively protects the motherboard; even if the parking lock's baffle and lighting device are accidentally hit by a vehicle, the motherboard will not be damaged.

[0033] Furthermore, a groove 201 is provided on the mounting plate 2, and the light-emitting device 3 is disposed in the groove 201. This setting facilitates the connection between the light-emitting device and the mounting plate. The significance of this setting includes: (1) Convenient installation and positioning: The groove provides a precise installation position for the light-emitting device. During installation, it can be quickly positioned simply by aligning and placing it in. Even non-professionals can operate it easily, which can improve installation efficiency, such as during batch assembly. (2) Improved stability: The groove increases the contact area between the light-emitting device and the mounting plate, resulting in a tighter fit. When subjected to external forces such as vehicle vibration, wind, and sun exposure, the light-emitting device is less likely to shift, shake, or fall off, ensuring the normal operation of the parking lock. (3) Protection of the light-emitting device: The groove can reduce the direct collision of external objects with the light-emitting device, reducing its risk of damage. In parking lots, it can prevent vehicle tires or debris from damaging the light-emitting device.

[0034] Furthermore, the light-emitting device 3 has several positioning holes 301, and the mounting plate is provided with positioning posts 21 that are equal in number and correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes. Each positioning post is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole. Each positioning post and the corresponding positioning hole are interference-fitted (i.e., each positioning post is squeezed into the corresponding positioning hole by external force), which makes the connection between the light-emitting device and the mounting plate very convenient. The significance of this setting includes: (1) Convenient installation: The two are one-to-one, and can be aligned and inserted during installation. No professional skills are required, and it can be completed quickly, greatly improving the production assembly efficiency. (2) Stable connection: The friction and clamping force generated by the interference fit prevent the lamp plate from loosening or falling off under vibration and other environments, ensuring normal light emission. (3) Protect the lamp plate: The stable support structure disperses external forces, reduces the possibility of damage to the lamp plate due to uneven force, and extends the service life. (4) Easy maintenance: The operation is simple when replacing the lamp plate. No complicated tools and techniques are required, and maintenance can be completed quickly, reducing the downtime of the parking lock.

[0035] It should be noted that the number, position, and size of the positioning pins and positioning holes shown in the attached drawings are merely embodiments. In actual applications, the number, position, and size of the positioning pins and positioning holes can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, some positioning holes and positioning pins in the attached drawings are relatively large, while others are relatively small. This is only one embodiment and is not a limitation.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting plate and the baffle are connected by bolts. This arrangement allows for a detachable connection between the mounting plate and the baffle. Even if the light-emitting device or the mounting plate is damaged during use, it can be easily replaced. The bolts are not shown in the figure; only the bolt holes 202 on the mounting plate are schematically illustrated.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 2 and the baffle 12 are arranged parallel to each other. In practical applications, when the baffle is fully lowered to a horizontal state (i.e., the retracted state), the parallel-arranged mounting plate and the lighting device are also horizontal, without protruding or tilting to interfere with vehicle entry and exit. This avoids scratches and collisions between the vehicle chassis, tires, and the parking lock, ensuring vehicle safety and reducing the risk of vehicle damage. It also prevents the parking lock from being damaged by collisions, ensuring its normal use. In addition, since the mounting plate and the lighting device are parallel to the baffle, when the parking lock is retracted, the baffle and the lighting device can remain flat with the ground, without occupying additional vertical space in the parking space. Vehicles can adjust their position more freely within the parking space, improving the utilization rate of parking space, which is especially suitable for parking spaces with limited space.

[0038] The aforementioned light-emitting device can take many forms. The simplest solution is to configure the light-emitting device to include multiple LED beads 31 (the specific type of LED beads is not limited here). That is, the purpose of emitting light is achieved by setting multiple LED beads.

[0039] Furthermore, the motherboard is equipped with an LED driver chip, and the light-emitting device 3 is an LED light board (the LED light board is equipped with multiple LED beads 31), which is electrically connected to the LED driver chip. This setup has significant advantages in terms of driving performance, energy saving effect, display effect and stability: (1) Stable driving: The chip can provide precisely matched current and voltage to ensure that the LED light board emits light normally, avoid uneven brightness or burnout, and ensure stable operation. (2) Energy saving and high efficiency: The brightness can be adjusted to reduce energy consumption, extend battery life and reduce battery replacement costs. (3) Optimized light emission effect: It can support multiple light emission modes and color changes, enhance the indicativeness of the parking lock and improve the user experience. (4) Integrated control: It is convenient to work in conjunction with other components of the parking lock (such as the drive motor of the baffle), simplify the design of the control system and improve the integration and stability.

[0040] Furthermore, the light-emitting device can also be set as a display screen (the light-emitting device shown in the attached figure is not a display screen; the display screen mentioned here can be an LCD display screen, an OLED display screen, etc.), and the motherboard is equipped with a circuit for driving the display screen. Since the circuit structure for driving the display screen is existing technology, it will not be specifically limited or described here. The significance of setting up a display screen is: (1) Displaying rich information: The display screen can present parking space status, prompts, etc., which is more content and more practical than ordinary light-emitting devices. (2) Meeting personalized needs: The display content can be customized according to the scenario or user needs to improve the user experience. (3) Promoting intelligent upgrading: The display screen helps the parking space lock to be further integrated into the intelligent parking system, realize real-time information interaction, and improve parking management efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the motherboard is equipped with at least one of the following modules: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared remote control, and RFID (not shown in the figure). This setup enables remote control, meeting the parking space management needs in different scenarios. Specifically, the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules allow users to remotely control the parking lock via a mobile app or computer software. For example, drivers can unlock the parking lock using their mobile phones while still some distance from the space, eliminating the need to wait in front of the space and improving convenience. The RFID module automatically identifies vehicles with corresponding electronic tags. When an authorized vehicle approaches, the parking lock automatically unlocks, and a welcome message is displayed; when an unauthorized vehicle approaches, the lock remains locked, preventing unauthorized occupancy. The infrared remote control module allows users to control the parking lock at close range using a remote control, offering simple operation unaffected by network signals. Furthermore, these modules enable integration of the parking lock with intelligent parking management systems, community access control systems, etc. For example, the Wi-Fi module uploads parking lock usage data (such as occupancy time and vehicle entry / exit records) to the management system, facilitating data analysis and fee settlement; the Bluetooth module can share information with other devices, enabling multiple devices to work together, optimizing the parking process, and improving the overall management level.

[0042] Furthermore, in the parking lock with an illuminating device, the mainboard is equipped with an RS-485 serial port and / or a 4G wireless communication module (not shown in the figure), including three scenarios: the mainboard has an RS-485 serial port, the mainboard has a 4G wireless communication module, or the mainboard has both an RS-485 serial port and a 4G wireless communication module. The RS-485 serial port in the parking lock with an illuminating device enables efficient communication between the parking lock and other devices, significantly improving the intelligent management level and overall performance of the parking lock. The 4G wireless communication module in the parking lock with an illuminating device allows for data transmission and interaction between the parking lock and external devices or systems via a 4G network.

[0043] It should be noted that the inventive point of this application lies in the light-emitting device and the mounting plate. Therefore, this application does not elaborate on or limit the conventional structure of parking locks. For example, parking locks are usually equipped with cameras to detect license plate numbers, and how to raise and lower the barrier, etc., are all prior art and not the inventive point of this invention. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on them in detail.

[0044] The parking lock is preferably powered by a battery, that is, a battery housing is provided on the base. Figure 1 (At position corresponding to 102 in the middle), the battery is placed in the battery housing cavity and electrically connected to the motherboard. Of course, it can also be powered by plugging in electricity; this application does not specifically limit the power supply method.

[0045] In practical applications, the timing of when the light source turns on and off, as well as the frequency of its flashing, can be specifically set according to actual needs. For example, the light source can be set to be constantly on; it can be set to flash slowly, switching to rapid flashing when a vehicle enters or exits the parking space; or it can be set to be constantly off, turning on when a vehicle passes by the parking space. These settings are software programs and are not the subject matter of this utility model; therefore, this application does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0046] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This illustrates the structural form of a mounting plate and a light-emitting device. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The figure shows another structural form of the mounting plate and the light-emitting device. In practical applications, the structure and shape of the mounting plate and the light-emitting device, as well as the number and arrangement of the LED beads, can be implemented in many ways and are not limited to the two embodiments shown in the figure.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
