Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking locks, and in particular to an underground parking lock with stable light strip. Background Technology

[0002] An in-ground parking lock is a device installed in a parking space to prevent occupancy. Its housing is buried underground and it controls the parking space through a rotating flap: when the flap is raised, it can effectively block vehicles from passing over it; when the flap is lowered, its upper surface is flush with the ground, allowing vehicle wheels to safely run over it.

[0003] To facilitate nighttime use, the upper side of the flap of the in-ground parking lock is equipped with a light strip to illuminate the flap at night, indicate the flap's position, and display text descriptions on the upper surface of the parking lock. For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 202322881409.6 discloses a ground-mounted smart parking lock, which discloses the structure of the light strip, its position on the parking lock, and its purpose.

[0004] Existing LED strip lights are typically fixed directly to the upper panel of the parking lock, with the light-emitting part protruding through a through-hole in the upper panel. This structure has significant drawbacks: when a vehicle runs over the LED strip, it is easily crushed, forming a dent; if a support structure is added below the LED strip, the height of the support structure and the LED strip must be strictly controlled to ensure that the upper surface of the LED strip is flush with the upper panel of the parking lock; specifically, if the sum of the height of the LED strip and the height of the bottom support structure in the housing groove is too large, the upper side of the LED strip will protrude from the upper panel of the parking lock, causing bumps when a vehicle runs over it, and the side of the protrusion can easily scratch passing vehicles; if the sum of their heights is too small, the upper side of the LED strip will be lower than the upper panel of the parking lock, also causing bumps when a vehicle runs over it. Therefore, the existing LED strip light structure struggles to balance safety and driving stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the underground parking lock with stable LED strip provided by this utility model can ensure the stable position of the LED strip.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model provides a ground-mounted parking lock with a stable LED strip, comprising a housing, an LED strip, an elastic support structure, and a cover plate. The housing includes a receiving groove. The cover plate has a light-transmitting hole. Glass is disposed within the light-transmitting hole. The upper side of the glass within the light-transmitting hole is flush with the upper side of the cover plate. The cover plate is detachably fixed to the housing. The cover plate can cover the opening of the receiving groove. The elastic support structure is fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove. The LED strip is fixed to the upper side of the elastic support structure. The elastic support structure can undergo elastic deformation in the vertical direction. In its naturally extended state, the upper side of the LED strip is higher than the opening of the receiving groove. After the cover plate is closed over the opening of the receiving groove, the upper side of the LED strip abuts against the lower side of the glass within the light-transmitting hole.

[0008] The underground parking lock with stable light strip provided by this utility model preferably has a limiting groove on the lower side of the cover plate; the shape of the limiting groove is the same as the shape of the upper side of the light strip; the light strip can be inserted vertically upward into the limiting groove from below; the limiting groove can restrict the horizontal movement of the light strip.

[0009] The LED strip-stabilized underground parking lock provided by this utility model preferably has a transparent silicone film on the upper surface of the LED strip.

[0010] The underground parking lock with stable light strip provided by this utility model preferably further includes a control device and a pressure sensor; the light strip is an adjustable light strip; the pressure sensor is fixed on the upper side of the receiving groove; the cover plate is fixed on the upper side of the pressure sensor; the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control device; the light strip is electrically connected to the control device.

[0011] The underground parking lock with stable light strip provided by this utility model preferably includes an elastic support structure comprising multiple springs and multiple silicone sleeves; the silicone sleeves are fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove; each silicone sleeve contains a spring; the top of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the light strip; and the bottom of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the silicone sleeve.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] The underground parking lock with stable LED strip provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a light strip 2, an elastic support structure 3, and a cover plate 4. The housing 1 includes a receiving groove 11. The cover plate 4 has a light-transmitting hole 41. Glass is installed inside the light-transmitting hole 41. The upper side of the glass inside the light-transmitting hole 41 is flush with the upper side of the cover plate 4. The cover plate 4 is detachably fixed to the housing 1. The cover plate 4 can cover the opening of the receiving groove 11. The elastic support structure 3 is fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The light strip 2 is fixed to the upper side of the elastic support structure 3. The elastic support structure 3 can undergo elastic deformation in the vertical direction. In its naturally extended state, the upper side of the light strip 2 is higher than the opening of the receiving groove 11. After the cover plate 4 is closed on the opening of the receiving groove 11, the upper side of the light strip 2 abuts against the lower side of the glass inside the light-transmitting hole 41.

[0023] The main difference between the LED strip-stabilized underground parking lock provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model and the prior art is that the fixing method of the LED strip 2 has been changed in this embodiment. Compared with the conventional LED strip that is directly fixed to the upper and lower sides of the cover plate 4 without support, this embodiment has an elastic support structure 3 at the bottom that always supports the LED strip 2. If there is no elastic support structure 3, the LED strip 2 may sink downward due to the pressure of the wheel, resulting in a sunken area on the cover plate. The wheels of subsequent vehicles need to pass through this sunken area, which will cause the vehicle to bump. In addition, the opening edge of the cover plate 4 that extends out of the upper part of the LED strip 2 may scratch the wheel. Compared to the rigid support structure used in existing technologies to support the light strip 2 (which may cause the light strip to protrude excessively, extending above the upper side of the cover plate and scratching the wheel), this embodiment uses an elastic support structure 3 to ensure that the light strip 2 is always under the cover plate 4. Therefore, the light strip 2 will not protrude above the upper side of the cover plate 4, and its edge will not damage the wheel. When the cover plate 4 is closed onto the receiving groove 11, the lower side of the cover plate 4 (the glass inside the light-transmitting hole 41) will press the upper side of the light strip 2 downward, causing the elastic support structure 3 to compress and deform. The tendency of the elastic support structure 3 to recover causes the light strip 2 to be pushed upward and fixed against the lower side of the cover plate 4. When a vehicle drives over it, the wheel acts directly on the glass inside the light-transmitting hole 41, not directly on the light strip. Therefore, the light strip 2 will not separate from the cover plate 4 due to being directly pressed down by the wheel. Therefore, the light strip in the device provided by this embodiment will not protrude or dent, and the fixing method of the light strip 2 is more stable than that of the existing technology.

[0024] The underground parking lock with stable light strip provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model solves the problem in the prior art that the light strip of the underground parking lock is easily higher or lower than the upper cover plate of the parking lock, which causes bumps and damage to vehicles that drive over the light strip, and can make the light strip position stable.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 42 is provided on the lower side of the cover plate 4; the shape of the limiting groove is the same as the shape of the upper side of the light strip 2; the light strip 2 can be inserted vertically upwards into the limiting groove 42 from below; the limiting groove 42 can restrict the horizontal movement of the light strip 2. To ensure that the light-emitting part of the light strip 2 is aligned with the light-transmitting hole 41, this embodiment provides a limiting groove 42 on the lower side of the cover plate 4 to limit the horizontal position of the light strip 2 and avoid the position of the light strip 2 shifting due to the deformation of the elastic support structure 3.

[0026] To prevent damage to the light strip 2 caused by rigid collision and compression between the upper surface of the light strip 2 and the lower side of the cover plate 4, a transparent silicone film is provided on the upper surface of the light strip 2 in this embodiment. The transparent silicone film itself can deform to buffer the squeezing force on the light strip 2 when the cover plate 4 is closed on the receiving groove 11, thereby reducing the possibility of damage caused by rigid collision between the light strip 2 and the cover plate 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, a control device 5 and a pressure sensor 6 are also included; the light strip 2 is an adjustable light strip 2; the pressure sensor 6 is fixed on the upper side of the receiving groove 11; the cover plate 4 is fixed on the upper side of the pressure sensor 6; the pressure sensor 6 is electrically connected to the control device 5; the light strip 2 is electrically connected to the control device 5. When a vehicle runs over the cover plate 4, the pressure sensor 6 will detect the pressure signal and transmit it to the control device 5. The control device 5 can determine whether the vehicle is running over it based on the pressure magnitude. If the vehicle is detected running over it, the control device 5 can reduce the brightness of the light strip 2 to avoid strong light shining directly on the wheels or road surface, causing reflections that affect the driver's vision. When no vehicle is detected running over it, the control device 5 can increase the brightness of the light strip 2 to make it easier for drivers at a distance to see the underground parking lock at night.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic support structure 3 includes multiple springs 31 and multiple silicone sleeves 32; the silicone sleeves 32 are fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove 11; each silicone sleeve 32 contains a spring 31; the top of the spring 31 is fixed to the bottom of the light strip 2; the bottom of the spring 31 is fixed to the bottom of the silicone sleeve 32. Since a single spring is prone to lateral swaying due to uneven force when compressed or reset, causing the light strip 2 to tilt, rub against the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, or even get stuck, this embodiment uses silicone sleeves 32 to completely wrap the springs 31 and fix them to the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The inner wall of the silicone sleeve 32 forms a radial constraint on the springs 31, ensuring that the springs 31 only extend and contract in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the light strip 2 always remains horizontal during the up and down movement, and avoiding the deviation of the lighting angle caused by the tilt of the light strip 2.

[0029] In summary, this utility model provides a ground-mounted parking lock with stable LED strip lighting, relating to the field of parking locks. It includes a housing, an LED strip, an elastic support structure, and a cover plate. The housing includes a receiving groove; the cover plate has a light-transmitting hole; glass is disposed within the light-transmitting hole; the upper side of the glass within the light-transmitting hole is flush with the upper side of the cover plate; the cover plate is detachably fixed to the housing; the cover plate can cover the opening of the receiving groove; the elastic support structure is fixed to the bottom of the receiving groove; the LED strip is fixed to the upper side of the elastic support structure; the elastic support structure can undergo elastic deformation in the vertical direction; in its naturally extended state, the upper side of the LED strip is higher than the opening of the receiving groove; after the cover plate covers the opening of the receiving groove, the upper side of the LED strip abuts against the lower side of the glass within the light-transmitting hole. This utility model provides a ground-mounted parking lock with stable LED strip lighting, solving the problem in existing ground-mounted parking locks where the LED strip is easily higher or lower than the upper cover plate, causing bumps and damage to vehicles driving over the LED strip, thus ensuring the LED strip's stable position.
