Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle-mounted object technology, and in particular relates to a press-type parking number plate. Background Technology

[0002] A car parking number plate is a contact information display device placed inside a vehicle. When a car owner parks temporarily, they can display their contact number outside the vehicle, making it easy for others to contact them when they need to move the car or to discuss vehicle-related matters. This effectively avoids road congestion or neighborhood disputes caused by parking. However, traditional number plates often have problems such as privacy risks, easy information expiration, and inconvenience in operation.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 202121459075.8 discloses a self-locking parking number plate, including an inner tube and a number frame embedded in the inner tube. The number frame is provided with a buckle. The inner tube is provided with a locking device for locking the buckle. The inner tube is also provided with an elastic device for driving the number frame to pop up. The number frame is provided with a display slot for installing the number plate.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the driver's contact number is displayed through a display slot. However, the fixed number holder used in the above technical solution can only hold the contact number of a single vehicle owner. However, in actual use scenarios, vehicles are often used by multiple drivers, such as family sharing or friends borrowing the car. This cannot be adapted to the current actual driver's contact information, which means that in case of emergency contact, it is necessary to communicate through the original vehicle owner. This not only delays the handling time but also increases communication costs, making it difficult to meet the flexible and efficient communication needs of modern car use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a push-button parking number plate is provided.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] A push-button parking number plate includes a base with an upward-opening groove structure inside. An inner liner is slidably disposed inside the base, and the inner side of the inner liner and the inner side of the base together form a lifting space. A locking structure is provided in the lifting space, which can fix the inner liner when it is in a first height position and a second height position. An outer cover is fitted on the outer side of the inner liner. The outer cover has a downward-opening groove structure, and both the end of the outer cover facing the vehicle interior space and the end facing away from the vehicle interior space have embedding slots for fixing the number display plate.

[0008] When it is necessary to change the contact information of the current actual driver, the outer cover can be removed to replace the number display board that is displayed facing the car window, thus changing the phone number shown to others. It is simple to use and easy for users to operate.

[0009] The locking structure can be any existing locking structure that can achieve sinking and stopping after a single press and rising and stopping after being pressed again, such as a press-type spring lock.

[0010] Preferably, the outer end face of the inner liner is provided with a stepped portion that is recessed inward, and the outer cover is assembled into an integral structure through the stepped portion, and the outer cover and the inner liner move up and down synchronously.

[0011] The stepped section allows the outer cover to fit snugly into the inner liner, forming an integrated structure. This avoids the common problems of detachment and misalignment with the base that occur with conventional split structures.

[0012] Preferably, the opening of the outer cover is flared from top to bottom, and the outer surface of the inner liner is in close contact with the inner opening of the outer cover, so that the user can easily remove the outer cover from above.

[0013] Preferably, a magnetic patch assembly is fixedly provided at the middle section of the outer surface of the inner liner and at the corresponding position of the inner surface of the outer cover. The outer cover is detachably connected to the inner liner through the magnetic patch assembly, thereby ensuring the stability of the outer cover under vehicle vibration environment. Compared with the traditional sliding cover or flip cover structure, it can avoid the problem of the outer cover jamming or malfunctioning due to component wear.

[0014] Preferably, when the outer cover is pressed an odd number of times, the locking structure positions the inner liner at a first height and covers the outer cover with the base; when the outer cover is pressed an even number of times, the locking structure positions the inner liner at a second height to expose the number display plate.

[0015] By simplifying user operation, users can switch the display and hidden states of the number display board with a single press without having to identify the switch direction or perform any extra actions, providing clear status feedback.

[0016] Preferably, the inner liner has downwardly extending guide protrusions at both ends along its length.

[0017] By setting guide protrusions, the force points at both ends of the inner liner's length direction are extended into the base, ensuring that the inner liner can move linearly along the height direction of the base even when subjected to frequent pressing, thus avoiding problems such as tilting, jamming, or shaking of the inner liner.

[0018] Preferably, the lifting space is provided with a guide structure located between the inner liner and the base to further ensure the movement trajectory of the inner liner, so that it moves linearly along the height direction of the base.

[0019] Preferably, the lifting space is also provided with an elastic element located between the inner liner and the base. The force of the elastic element enables the inner liner to overcome gravity and other forces and move to the second height position, thereby displaying the number display plate.

[0020] Preferably, the lower end face of the base is provided with a fixing member that can be fixed to the surface of the vehicle's control panel, thereby preventing the base from tipping over or shifting.

[0021] The fastener can be a suction cup or similar structure that uses negative pressure to adhere to the dashboard inside the vehicle; or it can be an adhesive layer that is bonded to the dashboard inside the vehicle.

[0022] Preferably, when the outer cover is in the second height position, the contact information of the current actual driver can be changed by removing the outer cover relative to the inner liner and changing the orientation of the number display board it displays.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] By employing a magnetically connected detachable cover, the driver and passenger numbers can be switched at any time, ensuring that the displayed contact information corresponds to the current actual driver. Furthermore, the locking structure allows for a simple one-click operation to switch between display and hidden states on the number display board, balancing ease of use and privacy security. This enables convenient switching of contact information and privacy protection in complex vehicle usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 — Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a press-type parking number plate, including a base 1, an inner liner 2, an outer cover 3, and a locking structure 4. The base 1 is formed by splicing a racetrack-shaped enclosure 11 and a chassis 12 through an interference fit, thereby forming a groove-shaped structure with an upward opening. A fixing member 13 is provided on its lower end face. The fixing member 13 is a 3M adhesive layer, thereby fixing the entire base 1 to the operating table inside the vehicle. The inner liner 2 is slidably disposed inside the base 1. The two together enclose a lifting space 14. The locking structure 4 is disposed in the lifting space 14. When the inner liner 2 is pressed, it can switch and lock between a first height position (i.e., hidden state) and a second height position (i.e., displayed state).

[0032] The outer cover 3 is a groove-shaped structure with a downward opening. It is fitted onto the outside of the inner liner 2. The outer cover 3 has an embedding groove 31 at the end facing the vehicle interior and the end facing away from the vehicle interior. The embedding groove 31 is used to hold or attach different number display plates (not shown in the figure).

[0033] The outer end face of the inner liner 2 is provided with a recessed step 21. The outer cover 3 is assembled with the inner liner 2 through the step 21 and can be raised and lowered synchronously with the inner liner 2. The outer cover 3 and the inner liner 2 are detachably connected by a magnetic patch assembly 5. The magnetic patch assembly 5 includes magnets or magnetic conductive sheets fixedly installed at corresponding positions on the middle section of the outer surface of the inner liner 2 and the inner surface of the outer cover 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the two in the vehicle vibration environment. It also makes it convenient for users to directly remove the outer cover 3 when they need to change the number. In order to prevent the outer cover 3 from getting stuck, the opening of the outer cover 3 is designed to be flared from top to bottom for easy removal and placement.

[0034] The latch structure 4 is a push-button spring latch, which is the same as the existing technology structure. It includes a latch switch 41 and a fixing rod 42 for engaging the latch switch 41.

[0035] To ensure that the inner liner 2 can still move smoothly in a straight line under frequent pressing and avoid tilting and jamming, guide protrusions 22 extending downward are provided at both ends of the inner liner 2 along its length. The guide protrusions 22 extend into the interior of the base 1. A guide structure is also provided in the lifting space 14. The guide structure is a first sleeve 23 and a second sleeve 24 that are the same as the existing technology structure and are nested together. The first sleeve 23 is fitted on the outside of the second sleeve 24. The axial end face of the second sleeve 24 extends into the inside of the first sleeve 23 and an elastic element is provided between it and its inner wall. The elastic element is a thrust spring 25. The thrust spring 25 is used to provide a driving force to move the inner liner 2 upward to the second height position when the locking structure 4 is unlocked.

[0036] When the user presses the outer cover 3 an odd number of times, the inner liner 2 and the outer cover 3 descend to the first height position. The fixing rod 42 is inserted into the locking switch 41 and locked. At this time, the outer cover 3 stops at the first height position, and the base 1 covers the outer cover 3 and the number display plate to achieve privacy protection. When the user presses the outer cover 3 an even number of times, the fixing rod 42 continues to extend into the locking switch 41 and unlocks it. Under the action of the push spring 25, the inner liner 2 rises to the second height position, and the number display plate is exposed. The outer cover 3 in this state can be removed to replace the number display plate that needs to be displayed.
