Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, specifically to a parking space lock and its rocker arm structure. Background Technology

[0002] Parking locks are devices used to prevent the unauthorized occupation of private parking spaces. They typically include a rocker arm structure. When the parking space is not in use, the rocker arm rises to prevent others from occupying it. When the parking space is needed, the rocker arm tilts down to make room for a vehicle. Some existing rocker arm structures use metal or alloy components, which are not only expensive but also prone to rusting over time, making maintenance difficult. Furthermore, they can easily damage vehicles in the event of a collision. To address this, some rocker arm structures use non-metallic structures, which are less expensive and less prone to rust. However, when the rocker arm is tilted, its pivot point is close to the ground, resulting in uneven stress on the entire structure. With prolonged use or under external force, the rocker arm is prone to deformation and damage. The deformed rocker arm may also tilt upwards, potentially damaging the vehicle's chassis. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rocker arm structure that is not easily deformed when subjected to external force, and can quickly return to its original shape even if deformation occurs, so as to ensure the normal function of the parking lock system and avoid damage to the vehicle chassis due to deformation of the rocker arm structure.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a rocker arm structure, including a U-shaped arm, a U-shaped groove on the back of the U-shaped arm, at least one first rib in the U-shaped groove to divide the U-shaped groove into at least two grooves, the extension direction of the U-shaped groove and the extension direction of the first rib are the same as the extension direction of the U-shaped arm, and multiple second ribs are provided in each groove, the multiple second ribs being distributed sequentially along the extension direction of the groove.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The rocker arm structure has a first rib and a second rib on the back of the U-shaped arm. The first rib and the second rib form a ring-shaped reinforcing rib structure, which can not only increase the overall strength of the rocker arm structure, but also resist external forces from all directions and effectively disperse external forces. This makes the rocker arm structure less prone to large deformation even after long-term use or when subjected to external forces. Even if the vehicle applies a certain external force to the rocker arm structure, causing the rocker arm structure to deform, the rocker arm structure can quickly return to its original shape. This structure can protect the rocker arm structure, ensure the normal function of the parking lock system, and also avoid damage to the vehicle chassis due to the deformation of the rocker arm structure, thereby improving the safety and stability of vehicle passage.

[0006] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, a clearance groove is also provided on the back of the U-shaped arm. When the U-shaped arm is swung toward the ground, a clearance space is formed between the clearance groove and the ground.

[0007] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the U-shaped arm is made of nylon.

[0008] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the thickness of the U-shaped arm is 4mm, and the thickness of the first rib and the second rib is 2.5mm.

[0009] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the height of the top of the U-shaped arm from the ground is 390mm after it is raised.

[0010] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the top width of the U-shaped arm is greater than the width of its two sides.

[0011] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the first rib is provided to divide the U-shaped groove into two grooves, the first end of the second rib is fixedly connected to the U-shaped arm, and the second end of the second rib is fixedly connected to the first rib.

[0012] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the height of the first end of the second rib is greater than the height of the second end of the second rib.

[0013] In the aforementioned rocker arm structure, the top of the second rib is arc-shaped.

[0014] This utility model also provides a parking space lock, including the aforementioned rocker arm structure, which has at least all the beneficial effects that the aforementioned rocker arm structure can bring.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The reference numerals are as follows: 100 U-shaped arm, 110 U-shaped groove, 111 groove body, 120 first rib, 130 second rib, 140 clearance groove. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 3An embodiment of this utility model provides a rocker arm structure, including a U-shaped arm 100. The back of the U-shaped arm 100 is provided with a U-shaped groove 110. At least one first rib 120 is provided in the U-shaped groove 110 to divide the U-shaped groove 110 into at least two grooves 111. The extension direction of the U-shaped groove 110 and the extension direction of the first rib 120 are the same as the extension direction of the U-shaped arm 100. Each groove 111 is provided with multiple second ribs 130, and the multiple second ribs 130 are distributed sequentially along the extension direction of the groove 111.

[0021] This rocker arm structure features a first rib 120 and a second rib 130 on the back of the U-shaped arm 100. These ribs form a ring-shaped reinforcing structure, which not only increases the overall strength of the rocker arm structure but also resists external forces from all directions and effectively disperses them. This prevents the rocker arm structure from deforming significantly even after long-term use or under external force. Even if a vehicle applies external force to the rocker arm structure, causing deformation, the rocker arm structure can quickly return to its original shape. This structure protects the rocker arm structure, ensures the normal function of the parking lock system, and prevents damage to the vehicle chassis due to rocker arm deformation, thus improving the safety and stability of vehicle passage. The rapid recovery characteristic of the rocker arm structure ensures the stability of the parking lock, maintaining normal function even under vehicle misoperation or external impact.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first rib 120 is provided to divide the U-shaped groove 110 into two grooves 111. The first end of the second rib 130 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped arm 100, and the second end of the second rib 130 is fixedly connected to the first rib 120. The first rib 120 and the second rib 130 extend in different directions. The first rib 120 extends in the same direction as the U-shaped arm 100 and is longer. The second rib 130 extends along the width of the groove 111 and is shorter, thus multiple ribs are distributed. Through the cooperation of the first rib 120 and the second rib 130, a circumferential reinforcing rib structure can be formed to resist external forces from all directions and effectively disperse external forces. Furthermore, the height of the first end of the second rib 130 is greater than the height of the second end of the second rib 130, that is, the height of the outer end of the second rib 130 is higher, and the top of the second rib 130 is arc-shaped, which can absorb some stress, thereby better resisting external forces. Furthermore, the top of the U-shaped arm 100 is arc-shaped, and the width of the top of the U-shaped arm 100 is greater than the width of the sides, so as to further improve the overall strength of the U-shaped arm 100.

[0023] Furthermore, the U-shaped arm 100 is a nylon structure with an anti-UV layer on its outer surface, which can be made of nylon PA6 material. Nylon PA6 material has high strength and wear resistance, is not easily broken under external impact, and has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to quickly return to its original shape after slight deformation. The anti-UV layer on the outer surface can effectively prevent degradation by ultraviolet rays, thereby extending the service life of the rocker arm structure. Furthermore, the thickness of the U-shaped arm 100 is 4mm, and the thickness of the first rib 120 and the second rib 130 is 2.5mm. After the U-shaped arm 100 is raised, the height of its top end from the ground is 390mm, which can adapt to the chassis height of most vehicles, effectively avoiding problems such as unreliable blocking or chassis scraping due to insufficient height.

[0024] Furthermore, a clearance groove 140 is provided on the back of the U-shaped arm 100. When the U-shaped arm 100 swings towards the ground, a clearance space is formed between the clearance groove 140 and the ground. This clearance space is used to avoid the power line, so as to prevent the arm from contacting the ground cable tray and causing the risk of crushing the cable.

[0025] This utility model also provides a parking space lock, including the aforementioned rocker arm structure, which has at least all the beneficial effects that the aforementioned rocker arm structure can bring.
