Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking lock technology, specifically to an embedded flip-top parking lock that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A parking space lock is a device installed on a parking space, primarily used to prevent unauthorized use of the space and protect the rights of the parking space owner. It's a mechanical or electronic control system for managing the occupancy of a parking space. Typically installed on the ground, its raised or lowered position indicates whether the space is occupied. When raised, it prevents other vehicles from parking; when the owner needs the space, they lower it remotely, via sensor, or manually, allowing the vehicle to enter. Traditional parking space locks, however, are ground-mounted, protrude from the ground, are easily crushed, and their integrated components require disassembly for maintenance, making them difficult to operate.

[0003] Based on this, a search revealed a parking lock disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN201010292476.9, which aims to provide a triangular parking lock with a reasonable structure, convenient use and long service life. Because the lock cylinder is located at the top of the triangle or inside the U-shaped cover, it is not easily damaged.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patent applications have shortcomings: traditional parking locks are usually erected on the ground, which affects the overall aesthetics of the parking lot and may obstruct pedestrians. Parking locks are easily damaged by being run over by vehicles and impacted by external forces over a long period of time, which will affect the stability of the installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-maintain embedded flip-top parking lock. By using this device, the problems of traditional parking locks, which are usually upright on the ground, affecting the overall aesthetics of the parking lot and potentially obstructing pedestrians, as well as the fact that parking locks are easily damaged by long-term exposure to vehicle traffic and external impacts, thus affecting the stability of the installation, are solved.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain embedded flip-top parking lock, including a parking lock base cavity seat, a flip-plate component rotatably connected to the top surface of the parking lock base cavity seat, a first inspection cover plate provided on one side of the flip-plate component, a second inspection cover plate provided on the other side of the flip-plate component, a monitoring component provided inside the parking lock base cavity seat, the monitoring component including a geomagnetic sensor and radar, a battery assembly also provided inside the parking lock base cavity seat, the battery assembly and the monitoring component being located directly below the first inspection cover plate, a rotating mechanism provided inside the parking lock base cavity seat, and an angle sensor provided on one side of the flip-plate component.

[0007] Preferably, a controller is provided inside the parking space lock bottom cavity seat, and the rotating mechanism includes a stepper motor fixedly connected inside the parking space lock bottom cavity seat.

[0008] The above-described structure uses a rotating mechanism to raise and lower the flap.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected inside the bottom cavity of the parking space lock, the connecting plate has two sides, and a connecting shaft is rotatably connected between the two sets of connecting plates.

[0010] Preferably, the flap component is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting shaft, one end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor, and the stepper motor and the controller are located directly below the second inspection cover.

[0011] The design using the above structure uses a stepper motor to drive the connecting shaft and the flip plate to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, a first magnet plate is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the inner cavity of the parking space lock bottom cavity, and a second magnet plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first inspection cover and the second inspection cover. The second magnet plates are arranged in four groups, and each group of the second magnet plates is magnetically connected to each group of the first magnet plates.

[0013] The above-described structure allows the inspection plate to be magnetically fixed to the base, facilitating user operation, inspection, and maintenance.

[0014] Preferably, a solar panel is provided on the top surface of the flip-up component, and the controller is electrically connected to the stepper motor, the monitoring component, the angle sensor, the solar panel, and the battery assembly.

[0015] With the above-mentioned design, the solar panel and controller work together to convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery, which then powers the electronic components inside the parking lock.

[0016] Preferably, the first inspection cover is magnetically connected to the top surface of two adjacent sets of the first magnet plates, and the second inspection cover is magnetically connected to the top surface of another two adjacent sets of the first magnet plates.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This utility model proposes an easy-to-maintain embedded flip-top parking lock. The embedded flip-top parking lock of this application consists of a flip plate, a base, a rotating mechanism, a control box, a geomagnetic radar, and a battery box. The device of this application adopts a zero-height-difference embedded design, with the lock body entirely embedded in the ground base. When not raised, the surface is flush with the ground, preventing damage from vehicle traffic. When raised, the flip plate component is driven by a stepper motor, and the torque is amplified by a gear set to achieve silent lifting. The main body of the parking lock of this application is made of high-strength metal material, with a stable structure capable of withstanding vehicle traffic and external impacts. Furthermore, the internal structure of the flip plate component uses a honeycomb aluminum alloy skeleton, resulting in high pressure resistance. The surface of the flip plate component is covered with an anti-slip and wear-resistant coating. During use… After the geomagnetic detector in the monitoring component detects the vehicle's entry, the radar detects the vehicle's chassis height. The controller drives the stepper motor to rotate one side of the flapping component, which in turn raises the flapping component. At the same time, the angle sensor monitors the flipping angle of the flapping component in real time. The flapping component stops rotating after it rises to the vehicle's chassis height. In this way, the flapping component blocks the vehicle's rear wheels, preventing the vehicle from driving out. When the flapping component of the parking lock is in the lowered state, it is completely flat on the ground and flush with the road surface. When a vehicle drives over it, there is no bumpy feeling, which is friendly to the vehicle's tires and chassis. In addition, this parking lock has an overload protection function. If it encounters an obstacle during the raising and lowering process, it will automatically stop or reverse, improving safety.

[0019] 2. The flip-plate component of this application is designed with a solar panel on its surface. The solar panel can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery pack. The battery pack provides power to the stepper motor and other electronic components inside the parking lock base. When maintenance is required inside the parking lock base, the opening of the parking lock base can be opened, and the first and second inspection covers can be pulled away from the parking lock base. The second magnet plate at the bottom of the first and second inspection covers magnetically disassembles from the first magnet plate inside the parking lock base. Thus, the user can easily remove the first and second inspection covers from the top surface of the parking lock base, which facilitates the user's maintenance and repair of the parking lock base. This design makes the device easy to maintain and operate, without the need to disassemble the entire parking lock.

[0020] 3. This application adopts embedded installation, with the parking lock fully or partially embedded below the ground, making it flush or nearly flush with the ground. This not only improves the appearance but also reduces the risk of damage to the parking lock from vehicles running over it. It also avoids safety issues such as pedestrians tripping due to the lock protruding from the ground. Through geomagnetic sensors and microwave radar detection components, it monitors in real time whether there is a vehicle parked in the parking space. When a vehicle is detected entering the parking space, the sensor transmits a signal to the controller. After receiving the signal from the sensor, the controller controls the transmission mechanism to work according to the preset program, driving the stepper motor to work. The rotational motion of the stepper motor is converted into the lifting or flipping motion of the flap component, realizing the locking and unlocking functions of the parking lock.

[0021] 4. The embedded installation of this application reduces the damage to the parking space lock caused by vehicle running over it and external impacts. At the same time, the excellent waterproof and rustproof design can prevent internal components from being damaged by moisture and rust, thereby extending the service life of the parking space lock. It is also beautiful and practical. The design flush with the ground makes the parking lot look cleaner and more beautiful, enhancing the overall grade of the parking lot. Meanwhile, the effective locking function of the parking space lock can prevent other vehicles from occupying the parking space at will, protecting the rights and interests of the parking space owner.

[0033] In summary, the working principle is as follows: This utility model proposes an easy-to-maintain embedded flip-top parking lock. The embedded flip-top parking lock of this application consists of a flip plate, a base, a rotating mechanism, a control box, a geomagnetic radar, and a battery box. The device of this application adopts a zero-height-difference embedded design, with the lock body entirely embedded in the ground base. When not raised, the surface is flush with the ground, preventing damage from vehicle traffic. When raised, the flip plate component 11 is driven by a stepper motor 16, and the torque is amplified through a gear set to achieve silent lifting. The main body of the parking lock of this application is made of high-strength metal material, with a stable structure capable of withstanding vehicle traffic and external impacts. Furthermore, the flip plate component 11 uses a honeycomb aluminum alloy skeleton inside, resulting in high pressure resistance. The surface of the flip plate component 11 is covered with an anti-slip and wear-resistant coating. During use, the monitoring unit... After the geomagnetic detector in component 19 detects the vehicle's entry, the radar detects the vehicle's chassis height. The controller 15 drives the stepper motor 16 to work, which in turn drives one side of the flip panel component 11 to rotate, thereby raising the flip panel component 11. At the same time, the angle sensor 111 monitors the flip angle of the flip panel component 11 in real time. The angle sensor 111 stops rotating after rising to adapt to the vehicle's chassis height. In this way, the flip panel component 11 blocks the rear wheels of the vehicle, preventing the vehicle from driving out. When the flip panel component 11 of the parking lock is in the lowered state, it is completely flat on the ground and flush with the road surface. When the vehicle drives over it, it is smooth and bump-free, which is friendly to the vehicle's tires and chassis. In addition, this parking lock has an overload protection function. When it encounters an obstacle during the lifting process, it will automatically stop or reverse, improving safety.

[0034] The flip-up component 11 of this application is designed with a solar panel on its surface. The solar panel can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery assembly 14. The battery assembly 14 provides power to the stepper motor 16 and other electronic components inside the parking lock base 1. When maintenance is required inside the parking lock base 1, the opening of the parking lock base 1 can be opened, and the first inspection cover 12 and the second inspection cover 13 can be pulled away from the parking lock base 1. The second magnet plate 18 at the bottom of the first inspection cover 12 and the second inspection cover 13 is connected to the parking lock. The first magnetic plate 17 inside the base cavity 1 is magnetically disassembled and separated, allowing the user to easily remove the first inspection cover 12 and the second inspection cover 13 from the top surface of the parking lock base cavity 1. This facilitates the user's maintenance and repair of the interior of the parking lock base cavity 1. After the maintenance is completed, the first inspection cover 12 and the second inspection cover 13 are reinstalled on the top of the parking lock base cavity 1, and the inspection cover is fixed to the top of the parking lock base cavity 1 by a magnetic attraction mechanism. This design makes the device easy to maintain and repair, simple to operate, and does not require disassembling the entire parking lock.

[0035] This application adopts embedded installation, with the parking lock being fully or partially embedded below the ground, making it flush or nearly flush with the ground. This not only improves the appearance but also reduces the risk of damage to the parking lock from vehicles running over it. It also avoids safety issues such as pedestrians tripping over the lock due to it protruding from the ground. Through geomagnetic sensors and microwave radar detection components, the system monitors in real time whether there is a vehicle parked in the parking space. When a vehicle is detected entering the parking space, the sensor transmits a signal to the controller 15. After receiving the signal from the sensor, the controller 15 controls the transmission mechanism to work according to the preset program, driving the stepper motor 16 to work. The rotational motion of the stepper motor 16 is converted into the lifting or flipping motion of the flip plate component 11, realizing the locking and unlocking functions of the parking lock.

[0036] The embedded installation of this application reduces damage to the parking space lock from vehicle crushing and external impacts. At the same time, the excellent waterproof and rustproof design can prevent internal components from being damaged by moisture and rust, thereby extending the service life of the parking space lock. It is also aesthetically pleasing and practical. The design flush with the ground makes the parking lot look cleaner and more beautiful, enhancing the overall grade of the parking lot. Meanwhile, the effective locking function of the parking space lock can prevent other vehicles from occupying the parking space at will, protecting the rights and interests of the parking space owner.
