Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel stop technology, specifically to a wheel stop. Background Technology

[0002] Wheel chocks are triangular blocks used by cars to stop the wheels from moving. Traditional triangular wheel chocks are often made of thick metal or hard materials to ensure strength, resulting in a large overall weight. This increases the difficulty of handling, especially in scenarios where wheel chocks need to be moved frequently (such as parking lots and repair shops). Overly heavy wheel chocks can reduce operational efficiency and may even be abandoned due to inconvenience in handling, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0023] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this patent. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0024] In related technologies, triangular wheel stops are often made of thicker metal or hard materials to ensure strength, resulting in a large overall weight. This increases the difficulty of handling, especially in scenarios where the wheel stops need to be moved frequently (such as parking lots and repair shops). Excessively heavy wheel stops can reduce operational efficiency and may even be abandoned due to inconvenience in handling, posing a safety hazard.

[0025] In view of this, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a wheel stop, including a top plate 10, a bottom plate 20, and a connecting plate 30. The top plate 10 is inclined relative to the bottom plate 20. The first end of the top plate 10 is connected to the first end of the bottom plate 20, and the connecting plate 30 is provided between the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20. The connecting plate 30 is characterized in that the thickness of the connecting plate 30 is less than the width of the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20. A handle 40 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 30 facing the second end of the top plate 10. The two ends of the handle 40 are respectively connected to the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20. A reinforcing part 42 is provided at the position where the top of the handle 40 is connected to the top plate 10 and at the position where the bottom of the handle 40 is connected to the bottom plate 20. The width of the reinforcing part 42 is greater than the width of the handle 40.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the top plate 10, the bottom plate 20, and the connecting plate 30 are integrally formed. The top plate 10 is used to contact the wheel, and the bottom plate 20 is used to contact the ground. A connecting plate 30 is provided between the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20. The thickness of the connecting plate 30 is less than the width of the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20. This design maintains structural strength in the core load-bearing parts (top and bottom plates) while reducing material usage in non-critical areas. A handle is provided on the side of the connecting plate 30 facing the second end of the top plate 10. Figure 4As shown, the handle connects to the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 at both ends, and reinforcing portions 42 are provided at the connection points of the top of the handle 40 and the bottom of the handle 40 and the bottom plate 20, respectively. The width of the reinforcing portion 42 is greater than the width of the handle 40. In this embodiment, the wheel stop is equipped with a handle 40, and the two ends of the handle 40 are connected to the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 via reinforcing portions 42, which further supports the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20, enhancing the overall stability of the wheel stop structure. Simultaneously, the handle 40 provides a stable gripping point, and a hand groove 41 is also provided on the handle 40 for convenient single-person quick gripping and movement.

[0027] In some embodiments, the angle between the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 is an acute angle, so that the second end of the top plate 10 extends toward the bottom plate 20. Since wheels are mostly curved, the acute-angled top plate 10 can better fit the wheel.

[0028] In some embodiments, the angle between the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 is 30 to 50 degrees. Within this angle range, the tilt of the top plate is moderate. 30 to 50 degrees conforms to the curvature characteristics of most vehicle wheels, ensuring the effective contact area between the wheel and the top plate 10, increasing friction, and enhancing the limiting reliability of the wheel chock.

[0029] In some embodiments, the wheel chock further includes a reinforcing rib structure 50, which is provided on both sides of the connecting plate 30. The reinforcing ribs are arranged along both sides of the connecting plate, forming a three-dimensional support structure of the connecting plate 30 and the reinforcing rib structures 50 on both sides, significantly improving the bending and torsional resistance of the connecting plate 30. When the wheel presses against the top plate 10, the reinforcing rib structure 50 can disperse local stress, preventing the connecting plate 30 from bending or breaking due to concentrated stress.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing rib structure 50 includes two intersecting reinforcing ribs. The two ends of the reinforcing ribs are connected to the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20, respectively, and the sides of the reinforcing ribs are connected to the connecting plate 30. The strength is increased by locally reinforcing the two intersecting reinforcing ribs, which share the bending and torsional stress of the connecting plate 30 and further reduce the risk of deformation or breakage of the connecting plate 30. This requires increasing the overall thickness of the top plate 10, bottom plate 20, and connecting plate 30.

[0031] In other embodiments, the reinforcing rib structure 50 may further include multiple main reinforcing ribs and multiple auxiliary reinforcing ribs. The two ends of the main reinforcing ribs are respectively connected to the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20, and the auxiliary reinforcing ribs are connected to the main reinforcing ribs or the connecting plate 30. The main reinforcing ribs are directly connected to the top and bottom plates, and the two ends of the auxiliary reinforcing ribs are respectively connected to the main reinforcing ribs or the connecting plate, which specifically reinforces the connection points of the main ribs and the weak areas of the connecting plate, disperses local stress, and avoids single-point stress concentration.

[0032] In some embodiments, both the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 are curved surfaces, and both curved surfaces are concave towards the connecting plate 30. The top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 are designed as curved surfaces concave towards the connecting plate, which can improve the fit with the wheel, optimize the force transmission, and enhance their own structural strength without affecting the core advantages of the wheel chock.

[0033] Specifically, the top plate 10, the bottom plate 20, and the connecting plate 30 are made of elastic material, and all three are capable of elastic deformation. When the top plate 10 is subjected to an external force applied by the wheel towards the bottom plate 20, the top plate 10, bottom plate 20, and connecting plate 30 deform, thereby increasing the contact area between the top plate 10 and the wheel, and simultaneously increasing the contact area between the bottom plate 20 and the ground, thus improving the fit and stability of the wheel chock with the wheel and the ground. It should be noted that the elastic material selected in this embodiment is any rubber material well known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In some embodiments, the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 have different curvatures.

[0035] In some embodiments, both the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 20 are provided with a plurality of grooves 11. The plurality of grooves 11 on the top plate 10 can increase the roughness of the contact surface with the wheel, increase the friction, and prevent relative slippage between the wheel and the top plate. The plurality of grooves 11 on the bottom plate 20 can enhance the grip with the ground, prevent wheel chock displacement, and strengthen the reliability of the limiting mechanism. The plurality of spaced grooves 11 can increase the contact roughness between the wheel chock surface and the wheel tire, and by increasing the coefficient of friction, prevent the wheel from slipping when subjected to force such as slight vehicle movement or parking on a slope, especially in low-friction environments such as wet or muddy conditions.

[0036] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
