[0002] With the increasing prevalence of unmanned parking lots, self-service QR code payment devices have become standard components of gate systems. Existing QR code payment devices are typically located on the front of the gate pillar, including a display screen and a transparent rain shield. However, several shortcomings exist in practical use. For example, insufficient lighting at night is a problem. In nighttime environments, the QR code on the display screen reflects heavily under the phone's flashlight, and due to insufficient ambient light, the phone's autofocus is difficult, resulting in low scanning recognition rates, requiring users to repeatedly adjust the angle. Another example is that due to the lower nighttime temperatures, water droplets easily condense on the transparent rain shield, obscuring the QR code and affecting scanning success rates. Furthermore, during off-peak hours at night, the display screen and indicator lights continue to operate, resulting in wasted electricity.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a self-service QR code payment device that can automatically adapt to changes in ambient light at night, provide stable supplemental lighting, and prevent condensation. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a smart parking lot self-service QR code payment device with nighttime adaptive supplementary lighting, including a support structure 100 and a QR code scanning compartment 200.

[0028] The support structure 100 serves as the mounting base for installing the barcode scanner 200. The support structure 100 can take various forms, such as a plate structure or a column structure. The support structure 100 can be formed in various ways, such as by bending sheet metal, welding, or casting.

[0029] In one possible implementation, a sunshade 110 may be provided on the support structure 100. The sunshade 110 is used to shield the barcode scanner 200 from light and rain. The sunshade 110 may have various shapes, such as flat or curved. One or more sunshades 110 may be provided, and multiple sunshades 110 may be distributed around the perimeter of the barcode scanner 200.

[0030] The QR code scanner 200 is used to provide users with a payment QR code.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the barcode scanner 200 is mounted on the support structure 100. The barcode scanner 200 and the support structure 100 can be connected in various ways, such as at least one of snap-fit, threaded connection, welding, or integral molding.

[0032] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the barcode scanner 200 can be designed as a box structure, such as a prismatic box structure. The barcode scanner 200 has a front and a back facing each other. A display screen 210 is provided on the back, with the side of the display screen 210 that has the display function facing the front. The front forms an opening and is connected to a transparent shielding structure 220.

[0033] The shielding structure 220 serves to prevent water and dust from entering the barcode scanner 200 and to prevent the display screen 210 from getting damp or being blocked.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the shielding structure 220 can be fitted to the display screen 210 to shorten the light path of the light emitted from the display screen 210 and reduce the effect of light refraction on the display screen. Alternatively, the shielding structure 220 can be spaced apart from the display screen 210, forming an accommodating space between them, thereby increasing the internal space of the barcode scanner 200. The distance between the shielding structure 220 and the display screen 210 is a preset value and can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the barcode scanner 200 also has multiple sides arranged in a ring, which are interconnected and located between the front and back sides.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the barcode scanning compartment 200 is equipped with a light source 230, which provides illumination to the interior of the barcode scanning compartment 200. This allows for illumination of the barcode scanning compartment 200 in low-light environments such as cloudy days or nighttime, enhancing the illumination intensity of the display screen 210 and its surrounding environment. This eliminates glare interference with the display screen 210, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of QR code scanning for the user.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the light source 230 may be located on the inner and / or outer side of the shielding structure 220.

[0038] In one possible implementation, a heating module 240 is provided within the barcode scanner 200. The heating module 240 is used to heat the shielding structure 220 to prevent water droplets or mist from forming on the shielding structure 220 and interfering with the user's scanning of the QR code. The heating module 240 can adopt various structures, such as at least one of a heating film, a heating tube, or a heating plate.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the smart parking self-service QR code payment device with nighttime adaptive supplemental lighting may also include a control module.

[0040] The control module is used to collect, analyze, and process data, and to automatically control other structures based on preset programs. In one possible implementation, the control module can communicate with the display screen 210, the light source 230, and the heating module 240 respectively, so as to automatically control the display screen 210, the light source 230, and the heating module 240 respectively. For example, the control module can control the display screen 210 to display various content such as QR codes, time, and payment amounts. As another example, the control module can control the light source 230 to start or stop within a preset time period, which may include 8 pm to 8 am the next day. As yet another example, the control module can control the heating module 240 to start heating the shielding structure 220 when preset conditions are met, where preset conditions may include ambient humidity reaching a humidity threshold. The preset time period, preset conditions, and humidity threshold can be set according to actual needs.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the control module may be located within the support structure 100 or within the barcode scanner 200.

[0042] The smart parking self-service QR code payment device with nighttime adaptive supplementary lighting provided in some embodiments of this utility model can provide illumination to the display screen 210 and its surrounding environment at night or on cloudy days by setting up a light source 230, thereby increasing the brightness of the display screen 210 and its surrounding environment and avoiding glare caused by the light from the user's mobile phone shining on the display screen 210 when the user scans the QR code, thus ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the user's QR code scanning.

[0043] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shielding structure 220 includes a shielding part 221 and a connecting part 222.

[0044] The shielding part 221 is used to shield the opening.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the shielding portion 221 can cover the opening. The shielding portion 221 can be made of various transparent materials, such as glass, tempered glass, transparent plastic, etc.

[0046] The connecting part 222 is used to connect with the barcode scanner 200 so that the shielding part 221 and the barcode scanner 200 remain relatively stable.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the connecting portion 222 is arranged in a ring around the circumference of the blocking portion 221, and the connecting portion 222 is elastically connected to the outer surface of the barcode scanner 200 along the circumference of the barcode scanner 200. After the connecting portion 222 is connected to the barcode scanner 200, the connecting portion 222 can be in a stretched state, thereby utilizing the elastic force of the connecting portion 222 itself to enhance the connection strength between the connecting portion 222 and the barcode scanner 200, thus preventing the blocking structure 220 from loosening. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the connecting portion 222 can eliminate the gap between the connecting portion 222 and the barcode scanner 200, enhancing the sealing effect between the connecting portion 222 and the barcode scanner 200.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the corners of the barcode scanner 200 can be rounded to allow for a smooth connection between the connecting part 222 and the barcode scanner 200, further eliminating gaps between them. This also prevents stress concentration at the connecting part 222 due to sharp protrusions in the barcode scanner 200, thus extending its service life.

[0049] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the barcode scanner 200 is provided with a limiting slot 270 arranged along the circumference of the barcode scanner 200, and the connecting part 222 is provided with an annular limiting protrusion 2221 that cooperates with the limiting slot 270.

[0050] By utilizing the cooperation between the limiting slot 270 and the annular limiting protrusion 2221, the degree of freedom of movement of the connecting part 222 can be restricted, preventing the connecting part 222 from becoming loose from the barcode scanner 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the shielding structure 220. At the same time, increasing the complexity of the connection between the connecting part 222 and the barcode scanner 200 is beneficial for further improving the sealing strength.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the shielding structure 220 is provided with a hydrophobic layer (not shown in the figure).

[0052] By setting a hydrophobic layer, water droplets can be prevented from adhering to the shielding structure 220, allowing water droplets to quickly slide off the shielding structure 220 and avoid obstructing or interfering with the QR code.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the hydrophobic layer may comprise a thin film structure made of a hydrophobic material, or it may comprise a coating formed by spraying a hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic material may include a variety of materials, such as at least one of polydimethylsiloxane, silica nanocoatings, fluorosilanes, etc.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the hydrophobic layer may be disposed on the inner and / or outer side of the shielding portion 221.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the barcode scanner 200 is equipped with at least one light detection unit (not shown in the figure).

[0056] The illumination detection unit is used to detect the ambient light intensity around the barcode scanner 200. The illumination detection unit may include a light intensity sensor, etc.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the light detection unit can be connected to the control module. The light intensity detected by the light detection unit can be transmitted to the control module. The control module can compare the light intensity with an intensity threshold. When the light intensity is less than the intensity threshold, the control module can activate the light source 230, thereby achieving the effect of automatically controlling the light source 230 and improving the automation level of the smart parking self-service QR code payment device with nighttime adaptive supplementary lighting.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the light source 230 includes a light strip and a diffuser disposed on the light strip. The light strip is distributed circumferentially along the display screen, and the diffuser is disposed on the side of the light strip facing the display screen.

[0059] The light strip can provide a surface light source, thereby increasing the illumination range to ensure that the light can be evenly irradiated onto the display screen 210.

[0060] The diffuser diffuses the light emitted from the light strip, eliminating glare and allowing the light strip to output soft, uniform light, preventing light from shining directly onto the display screen 210 and interfering with the user's scanning of QR codes. The diffuser can be made of a frosted transparent material, such as at least one of acrylic, polystyrene, or polycarbonate.

[0061] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the back of the barcode scanner 200 has a mounting groove 250 extending into the interior of the barcode scanner 200, and an annular limiting part 251 is provided on the side of the mounting groove 250 facing the front; the display screen 210 is disposed in the mounting groove 250.

[0062] The mounting slot 250 provides mounting space for the display screen 210. In one possible embodiment, the shape of the mounting slot 250 is adapted to the shape of the display screen 210. The display screen 210 can be snapped into the mounting slot 250. In another possible embodiment, an elastic structure can be provided on the inner side of the mounting slot 250. This elastic structure can be elastically connected to the circumferential side of the display screen 210, causing it to deform elastically under compression. This increases the connection strength and stability of the display screen 210, helping to prevent the display screen 210 from becoming loose or colliding with the mounting slot 250.

[0063] In one possible implementation, a single elastic structure may be provided and arranged in a ring shape on the inner side of the mounting groove 250. In another possible implementation, multiple elastic structures may be provided and arranged in a ring-shaped, spaced-apart pattern along the inner side of the mounting groove 250. The elastic structures may be made of an elastic material, such as at least one of spring steel, rubber, silicone, resin, etc.

[0064] The limiting part 251 is used to restrict the degree of freedom of movement of the display screen 210, prevent the display screen 210 from detaching from the side of the mounting groove 250 near the front, and help ensure the relative positional accuracy of the display screen 210 and the mounting groove 250.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the limiting portion 251 may be arranged in a ring. In another possible implementation, multiple limiting portions 251 may be provided and distributed in a ring-shaped interval along the circumference of the display screen 210. In one possible implementation, when the display screen 210 comes into contact with the blocking structure 220, the blocking structure 220 may serve as a limiting portion to limit the display screen 210.

[0066] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, a baffle 280 is rotatably connected to the back side, and the baffle 280 is used to open or close the mounting slot 250. In one possible embodiment, the rotation center line of the baffle 280 may be parallel to or perpendicular to the back side.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the baffle 280 can be rotatably connected to the back surface via a damping structure. Under the action of an external force, the baffle 280 and the back surface can rotate relative to each other. After the external force is removed, the relative position of the baffle 280 and the back surface remains fixed. This facilitates control of the position of the baffle 280 during the installation of the display screen 210 and prevents the baffle 280 from interfering with the installation of the display screen 210.

[0068] The baffle 280 can restrict the movement and rotational freedom of the display screen 210, preventing the display screen 210 from falling out of the mounting slot 250, which helps to ensure the stability and positional accuracy of the display screen 210.

[0069] The baffle 280 is rotatably connected to the back surface, making it easy to open or close the baffle 280. The baffle 280 and the back surface can be connected in various ways to ensure that the baffle 280 remains relatively fixed to the back surface when the baffle 280 completely covers the mounting groove 250, such as snap-fit, threaded connection, magnetic connection, etc.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the back also has a cable tray 290 communicating with the mounting slot 250. The cables connected to the display screen 210 can be placed in the cable tray 290 to prevent the cables from interfering with the closing of the baffle 280. This also facilitates the storage and management of the cables.

[0071] The back also has slots or holes for the wiring of the light source 230 and the heating module 240 to pass through, so as to facilitate the management of the wiring connected to the light source 230 and the heating module 240.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the side of the baffle 280 facing the mounting groove 250 is provided with an elastic clamping member (not shown in the figure). The elastic clamping member is used to elastically connect with the display screen 210, thereby eliminating the gap between the baffle 280 and the display screen 210, thus pressing the display screen 210 firmly and preventing the display screen 210 from becoming loose. The elastic clamping member can include various shapes, such as block-shaped, strip-shaped, hemispherical, etc. The elastic clamping member can be evenly distributed to provide uniform clamping force to the display screen 210, preventing the display screen 210 from deflecting or being damaged due to uneven force.

[0073] The elastic clamping element can be made of an elastic material, such as at least one of rubber, silicone, resin, etc.

[0074] In one possible implementation, a temperature detection unit (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the barcode scanning bin 200, which is used to detect the temperature inside the barcode scanning bin 200.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the temperature detection unit may include a temperature sensor and may be communicatively connected to the control module. The temperature detected by the temperature detection unit may be transmitted to the control module, which compares the temperature with a temperature threshold. When the temperature is lower than the temperature threshold, the control module may control the heating module 240 to start, thereby heating the shielding structure 220.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the barcode scanner 200 includes an identification unit for identifying vehicles or personnel. During a preset time period, if the identification unit does not identify a vehicle or personnel, the control module can control the light source 230 to turn off. When the identification unit identifies a vehicle or personnel, the control module can control the light source 230 to turn on. The preset time period can be a preset value, for example, from 8 PM to 6 AM the next day, and the specific time period can be set according to actual needs. The identification unit may include at least one of the following: an infrared sensor, a video parking camera, a license plate recognition integrated machine, a high-position video unit, radar, etc.

[0077] The optional embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present utility model, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present utility model, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0078] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations will not be described separately in this embodiment.

[0079] Furthermore, various different implementation methods of this utility model can be arbitrarily combined, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
