[0033] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0034] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0035] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a smart parking space lock includes a base 1;

[0037] Rocker arm 11, which is rotatably connected to the base 1;

[0038] and drive assembly 2, which drives the rocker arm 11 to rotate relative to the base 1;

[0039] The drive assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatably connected to the base 1. The rocker arm 11 is disposed on the rotating shaft 21 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a mounting groove 211 disposed on the rotating shaft 21 for mounting the rocker arm 11. The rocker arm 11 is provided with a mounting block 111 extending into the mounting groove 211. The side wall of the rotating shaft 21 is provided with an opening for mounting the rocker arm 11. The opening communicates with the mounting groove 211. The rotating shaft 21 is provided with a cylindrical body 212 for closing the opening.

[0040] The two ends of the rocker arm 11 are respectively mounted to the two ends of the rotating shaft 21 via the connecting assembly.

[0041] In practice, electronic components are being upgraded at an increasingly rapid pace, and the electronic components used in parking space locks are also typically updated quickly. For example, when upgrading or modifying the electronic components on the rocker arm 11, it is usually necessary to replace the rocker arm 11 to enable the parking space lock to have more functions. Therefore, the rocker arm 11 may need to be replaced multiple times.

[0042] In addition, the rocker arm 11 is a component used to block vehicles. In practical applications, the rocker arm 11 is relatively susceptible to impacts, such as being hit by a vehicle or by external force from people, which can easily damage it. Therefore, the rocker arm 11 of a parking space lock usually requires frequent maintenance or replacement.

[0043] This solution uses a method in which the cylinder 212 cooperates with the mounting groove 211 and the mounting block 111, so that the rocker arm 11 can be installed or removed along the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 21. This means that the rocker arm 11 can be replaced or maintained without disassembling the entire parking space lock during replacement or maintenance. Only the cylinder 212 needs to be operated to complete the replacement or maintenance of the rocker arm 11, which effectively improves the efficiency of replacement or maintenance of the rocker arm 11.

[0044] Reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the rocker arm 11 is generally U-shaped or semi-circular. Therefore, the rocker arm 11 is fixed by locking the mounting block 111 into the mounting groove 211 through the cylinder 212. The axial position of the rocker arm 11 relative to the rotating shaft 21 is positioned by the cooperation between the side wall of one end of the mounting groove 211 and the side wall of the mounting block 111. That is, the end of the mounting block 111 away from the rocker arm 11 contacts the end of the mounting groove 211 away from the rocker arm 11, thereby achieving the positioning of the rocker arm 11 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 21.

[0045] In some embodiments, the base 1 is typically fixed within the parking space area. For example, the base 1 can be fixed within the parking space area using anchor bolts. Alternatively, the base 1 can be pre-embedded within the parking space area.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mounting block 111 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape, and the mounting block 111 and the rocker arm 11 are an integral structure.

[0047] Understandably, the height of the mounting block 111 is less than the depth of the mounting groove 211, that is, after the mounting block 111 and the mounting groove 211 are engaged, the top surface of the mounting block 111 is not higher than the side surface of the rotating shaft 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 21 is provided with an external thread, and the cylinder 212 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the rotating shaft 21.

[0049] When the cylinder 212 and the rotating shaft 21 are connected by threads, the height of the top surface of the mounting block 111 shall not be higher than the height of the root of the external thread, so as to prevent the cylinder 212 and the mounting block 111 from interfering with each other.

[0050] The closed opening of the cylinder 212 secures the rocker arm 11. Understandably, the cylinders 212 are arranged in pairs, meaning each connecting assembly includes two cylinders 212. After assembly, the two cylinders 212 are secured by a double-nut mating mechanism to prevent loosening.

[0051] Of course, an independent anti-loosening mechanism can also be provided between the cylinder 212 and the rotating shaft 21. For example, anti-loosening gaskets can be provided.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall of the cylinder 212 is polygonal.

[0053] The outer wall of the cylinder 212 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape, making it easy to operate with tools such as wrenches.

[0054] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 2 includes a worm gear 22 rotatably connected to the base 1, and the rotating shaft 21 is provided with a worm wheel 23 that cooperates with the worm gear 22. The worm wheel 23 and the rotating shaft 21 are an integral structure.

[0055] Understandably, because the worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 have a self-locking mechanism, after the rocker arm 11 rotates a certain angle, it automatically locks itself in that position, and the worm wheel 23 cannot drive the worm gear 22 to rotate. That is, the drive assembly 2 does not need to have a separate locking assembly to lock the rocker arm 11, which simplifies the structure of the parking space lock and reduces the cost of using the parking space lock.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a shaft hole that mates with the rotating shaft 21, and a rolling bearing is provided between the rotating shaft 21 and the shaft hole.

[0057] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 2 further includes a motor 24, the worm gear 22 is driven by the motor 24, the drive assembly 2 further includes a base 25, the motor 24 is fixed to the base 25, the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the base 25, and the motor 24 and the worm gear 22 are both mounted on the base 1 via the base 25.

[0058] In some embodiments, the seat 25 is slidably connected to the base 1 in a direction close to or away from the worm gear 23, and an elastic member 251 is provided between the base 1 and the seat 25 to push the seat 25 so that the worm 22 meshes with the worm gear 23.

[0059] The elastic element 251 mainly protects the motor 24, worm 22, and worm wheel 23. When the rocker arm 11 is subjected to a large impact load, since the contact surface between the worm 22 and the worm wheel 23 is an arc-shaped surface, the part of the contact between the worm wheel 23 and the worm 22 divides the impact load into two components. One component overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 251, causing the worm 22 to disengage from the worm wheel 23. At this time, the worm wheel 23 and the rotating shaft 21 can rotate freely. Thus, the rocker arm 11 will not be damaged when subjected to impact.

[0060] In some embodiments, the elastic element 251 is a spring, with one end fixed to the seat 25 and the other end fixed to the base 1. The elastic element 251 can also be replaced by other structures with elastic deformation capabilities.

[0061] In some embodiments, the base 1 is further provided with a guide frame 12 for guiding the seat body 25, the guide frame 12 being arranged around the seat body 25; or, the base 1 is further provided with a guide rod, the seat body 25 being provided with a guide hole cooperating with the guide rod, and the elastic member 251 being sleeved on the guide rod.

[0062] In some embodiments, the guide frame 12 and the guide rod can also be provided simultaneously to further improve the displacement accuracy of the seat 25.

[0063] In some embodiments, since the rocker arm 11 is only used to prevent vehicles from entering or leaving the parking space area, and car owners typically do not violently damage the parking space lock, using a spring to engage the worm gear 22 with the worm wheel 23 can meet the usage requirements.

[0064] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.

[0066] When implementing the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter technical solution and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, these details are still within the scope of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model without departing from it.
