Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of parking space locks, and in particular to ultra-thin parking space locks. [Background technology]

[0002] With the development of the country and the progress of society, automobiles as a means of transportation are becoming more and more popular. As the number of automobiles owned increases, the parking space resource is tight and the supply and demand are unbalanced. In some parking places, especially roadside parking spaces, parking space locks are usually installed in the parking spaces to strengthen management. A general parking space lock is an unmanned automatic control mode, and when there is no automobile parked, the parking space lock is turned off, so as not to affect the normal passage of passersby. When a car enters the parking space, the parking space lock automatically identifies the car and locks it up to restrict the movement of the car. Only after the car owner scans the code and pays, the parking space lock is turned off and the car can leave.

[0003] In the prior art parking space lock, the power supply unit is often integrated into the housing to achieve the purpose of the circuit design, but when the power supply unit is installed in the housing, it is necessary to reserve a space for the power supply unit in advance in the housing. This increases the volume of the housing, and the housing with an excessive volume may interfere with the car door when the car door is opened and closed, and may even collide with the car door. In addition, the excessive volume of the housing may be entangled in the feet of passengers after getting off the car. In addition, the parking space lock is designed so that the driving mechanism directly acts on the pivot shaft of the flap plate to complete the flap plate's jumping up motion. Therefore, in order to rotate the flap plate, the driving mechanism needs to provide a larger power output, and accordingly, a driver with a larger torque or a multi-stage reducer needs to be adopted to provide a larger power output, which results in a larger volume of the driving mechanism and a larger volume of the parking space lock. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the deficiencies described in the above prior art, the present application provides an ultra-thin parking space lock, which can solve the problem of the large volume of the parking space lock caused by the mounting position of the power module and the power demand of the driving mechanism. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The technical aspects adopted in the present application to solve the problem are as follows. An ultra-thin parking space lock, A flap plate and a drive mechanism for driving the flap plate to rotate, a cavity is provided in the flap plate, a power supply module is attached in the cavity, the power supply module is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism is provided outside the flap plate, or a flap plate, a guide plate arranged in parallel with the flap plate, and a drive mechanism for driving the flap plate to rotate, a cavity is provided in the flap plate and / or the guide plate, a power supply module is attached in the cavity, the power supply module is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism is provided outside the flap plate and the guide plate, The flap plate has a drive axis and a rotation axis that are parallel to each other, the longitudinal direction of the flap plate extends along the rotation axis, and when the width of the flap plate is a, the distance between the drive axis and the rotation axis is a / 2 or less, and the drive mechanism drives the flap plate on the drive axis to rotate it around the rotation axis.

[0006] By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, a cavity is provided in the flap plate and / or guide plate, the power module is mounted in the cavity, and the internal space of the flap plate and / or guide plate is fully utilized, so that the power module does not occupy other spaces or positions of the parking space lock, and the overall width and / or height of the parking space lock, for example the volume of the housing, can be reduced, and the parking space lock can be designed to be flat and small in volume. The driving mechanism drives the flap plate to rotate around the rotation axis with the driving axis, and compared with the prior art in which the driving mechanism directly acts on the rotation axis of the flap plate, the present application drives the flap plate to rotate around the rotation axis with the driving mechanism, so that a power arm of a certain length can be formed, and therefore the power required to drive and rotate the flap plate is smaller, and as a result, the volume of the driving mechanism can be smaller and the cost can be lower. In addition, since the distance between the drive axis and the rotation axis is less than or equal to a / 2, when the drive mechanism pushes and rotates the flap, a certain displacement occurs in the part in the drive mechanism for pushing and rotating the flap, and the displacement distance is the same as the movement distance on the drive axis, that is, the part in the drive mechanism for pushing the flap has a small upward displacement distance, so that the height of the drive mechanism is reduced and the purpose of the ultra-thin design of the entire parking space lock is realized.

[0007] In addition, in the prior art, the drive mechanism was sometimes provided inside the flap plate, and the drive mechanism had to drive the flap plate to rotate and also drive itself at the same time, which increased the energy consumption of the drive mechanism in the prior art and increased the volume of the drive mechanism. In comparison, the present application provides the drive mechanism outside the flap plate and guide plate, thereby effectively reducing the energy consumption and volume of the drive mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotation axis is located on one side of the flap in the width direction, and the drive axis is located between a central portion of the flap and the rotation axis.

[0009] By adopting the above aspect, a balance is achieved between the driving force provided by the drive mechanism and the distance that the drive mechanism needs to displace when driving the flap plate to rotate, thereby realizing the use of a small-volume drive mechanism while limiting the movement distance of the drive mechanism associated with the flap plate, and further realizing an ultra-thin design for the parking space lock.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the plane on which the drive axis lies is higher than the height of the plane on which the rotation axis lies.

[0011] By adopting the above aspect, when the connecting arm pushes the flap plate to flip it up, a certain guiding action is performed for the power provided by the connecting arm, further reducing the power required for the connecting arm to push the flap plate.

[0012] Further, the drive mechanism includes a drive assembly and a connecting arm, the drive assembly including a driver and a drive block, the driver is transmission-connected to the drive block and drives the drive block to reciprocate along a straight line, the connecting arm has an input end and an output end, the drive block is rotatably connected to the input end and the output end is rotatably connected to the flap plate on the drive axis, and the driver sequentially drives the flap plate via the drive block and the connecting arm to rotate it around the rotation axis.

[0013] By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, the drive assembly is adopted to drive the connecting arm and control the flap plate to rotate around the rotation axis, and the driver is adopted to reciprocate the driving block along a straight line, that is, the input end of the connecting arm reciprocates linearly along the moving direction of the driving block, so that the space required for the movement of the driving block and the input end of the connecting arm is greatly limited, and as a result, the structure of the entire driving mechanism is more compact.

[0014] Further, the drive assembly is located at one longitudinal end of the flap, and the connecting arm is located between the drive assembly and the flap.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned aspect, the drive assembly is provided at one end of the flap plate in the longitudinal direction, and the space between the drive mechanism and the flap plate becomes more compact, particularly when the longitudinal direction of the drive mechanism, the width direction of the flap plate when not raised, and the longitudinal direction of the connecting arm are parallel.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting arm is provided at an incline, and the output end is higher than the input end.

[0017] By employing the above-described aspect, a certain guiding effect is provided to the movement trajectory of the connecting arm while the drive assembly is pushing the connecting arm, so that the movement of the connecting arm becomes smoother and more powerful.

[0018] The drive block further includes an auxiliary guide member, the auxiliary guide member including a first guide member, the first guide member being located on one of the opposing sides of the drive block, the drive block being provided with a second guide member that slides with the first guide member, and the first guide member and the second guide member being both provided along the movement direction of the drive block, and / or the auxiliary guide member includes a third guide member, the third guide member is located on the other side of the drive block, the drive block is provided with a fourth guide member that slides with the third guide member, and both the third guide member and the fourth guide member are provided along the movement direction of the drive block; When the auxiliary guide member includes the first guide member and the third guide member, the first guide member and the third guide member are provided so as to be located on opposite sides of the drive block, respectively.

[0019] By employing the above-described embodiment, the movement trajectory of the drive block can be appropriately restricted, and the drive block is prevented from deviating in any direction other than the guide direction during movement.

[0020] Furthermore, the flap plate has a first pivotal connection member at an end thereof facing the connecting arm on the drive axis and a second pivotal connection member at the output end, the first pivotal connection member being pivotally connected to the second pivotal connection member.

[0021] By employing the above aspect, a rotational connection between the output end of the connecting arm and the flap plate is realized by the rotational connection between the first rotational connection member and the second rotational connection member.

[0022] Further, a third pivot connection member is provided on the drive block, and a fourth pivot connection member is provided on the input end, the fourth pivot connection member being connected for pivotal engagement with the third pivot connection member.

[0023] By employing the above aspect, the input end of the coupling arm and the drive block are pivotally connected by the pivotal connection between the third pivotal connection member and the fourth pivotal connection member.

[0024] Furthermore, the first guide member is provided between the drive block and the flap plate, the second guide member is provided on an extending portion of the third pivotal connecting member, and the extending portion of the third pivotal connecting member passes through the fourth pivotal connecting member so that the first guide member and the second guide member are in sliding contact with each other.

[0025] By adopting the above aspect, the second guide member is provided on the third pivotal connecting member, making it easier to produce the drive block and also reducing the volume of the drive mechanism, compared to a design in which the second guide member and the third pivotal connecting member are separate.

[0026] Furthermore, an escape groove is provided at the input end of the connecting arm toward the first guide member.

[0027] By adopting the above-mentioned aspect, the connecting arm is thinned at the contact point between the connecting arm and the first guide member, making the structure between the connecting arm and the first guide member more compact, thereby reducing the dimensions of the housing case and the height of the parking space lock.

[0028] Furthermore, a screw is connected to the driver for coaxial transmission, the drive block is provided with a thread that matches the screw, the drive block is screwed onto the screw, and the driver drives and rotates the screw, thereby causing the drive block to move back and forth along the axial direction of the screw.

[0029] By adopting the above aspect, a smaller volume screw can be used to match the drive block, reducing the volume of the drive mechanism while ensuring that stable power output is provided; and by arranging the screw and driver coaxially, it becomes easier to integrate the screw and driver with other structures; for example, by arranging the screw and driver coaxially on one side of the flap plate and / or guide plate, the structure of the flap plate, screw, and driver becomes more compact.

[0030] Furthermore, the device further includes a housing case, the drive mechanism being provided within the housing case, a portion of the drive mechanism extending outside the housing case and being transmission-connected to the flap plate at the drive axis of the flap plate, and driving the flap plate to rotate around the rotation axis.

[0031] By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, the installation of the housing case provides a certain degree of protection for the drive mechanism.

[0032] Furthermore, a relief passage is provided in the housing case, and the output end of the connecting arm is power-transmittingly connected to the flap plate through the relief passage.

[0033] By adopting the above aspect, the escape passage provides a movement space for the connecting arm, facilitating the connection between the connecting arm and the drive block inside the housing case, and the connection between the connecting arm and the first pivot connecting member outside the housing case.

[0034] Furthermore, the escape passage extends from the side of the housing case to the top of the housing case, and when the flap plate rotates, the output end of the connecting arm extends outside the escape passage or retracts into the escape passage.

[0035] By adopting the above-mentioned aspect, the escape passage extends to the top of the housing case, and the escape passage provides an upward movement space for the connecting arm, so that a low-height housing case can be used and the drive mechanism and connecting arm can also be attached inside the housing case.

[0036] The power supply device further includes a controller, the controller being provided within the housing case, the controller being electrically connected to the drive mechanism and the power supply module, and the controller being juxtaposed with the drive mechanism.

[0037] By adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, the weight and thickness of the flap plate can be reduced compared to the conventional technology in which the controller is provided inside the flap plate and the controller is provided inside the housing case.More importantly, by making the controller elongated and providing it so that its length direction is parallel to the length direction of the drive mechanism, the structure of the controller and the drive mechanism inside the housing case becomes more compact, and as a result, the dimensions of the housing case are reduced.

[0038] Furthermore, the controller has an antenna module, the antenna module is communicatively connected to the controller, an escape port is provided in the side wall of the housing case in the height direction of the housing case, and the antenna module is provided in the escape port.

[0039] By adopting the above-mentioned aspect, the escape hole provided in the height direction of the housing case is used for mounting the antenna module, ensuring the quality of the signal transmission from the antenna module, and more importantly, it is possible to prevent the housing case and the mounted antenna module from overlapping each other in the height direction, thereby effectively reducing the height of the housing case while ensuring the quality of the signal transmission from the antenna module. Effect of the Invention

[0040] As described above, the ultra-thin parking space lock according to the present application has the following technical effects. 1. By providing a cavity in the flap and / or guide plate and mounting the power module in the cavity, the internal space of the flap and / or guide plate is fully utilized, which prevents the power module from occupying other spaces or positions of the parking space lock, and reduces the overall width and / or height of the parking space lock, for example the volume of the housing, and further realizes a flatter and smaller-volume design of the parking space lock, which solves the problems of the height of the housing causing obstruction to the feet and collision with the car door, and also makes transportation easier to a certain extent. 2. The driving mechanism drives the flap plate by the driving axis to rotate it around the rotation axis, forming a power arm of a certain length. Compared with the conventional design in which the driving mechanism acts directly on the rotation axis of the flap plate, the structure of the present application reduces the power required to drive the flap plate, and reduces the driver power and volume of the driving mechanism, so that the volume of the driving mechanism is smaller and the cost is lower. It also improves the driving capacity of the parking space lock, reduces the load on the driving mechanism, reduces the wear of each part of the driving mechanism, and extends the service life. 3. The distance between the drive axis and the rotation axis is less than or equal to a / 2, so that when the drive mechanism pushes the flap to rotate, the parts in the drive mechanism for pushing and rotating the flap will experience a certain displacement, and the displacement distance is the same as the movement distance on the drive axis, that is, the parts in the drive mechanism for pushing the flap will only have a small upward displacement distance, so that the height of the drive mechanism is reduced and the purpose of the ultra-thin design of the entire vehicle space lock is realized. 4. In the prior art, the drive mechanism was sometimes installed inside the flap plate, and the drive mechanism needed to drive the flap plate to rotate while also driving itself, which increased the energy consumption of the drive mechanism in the prior art and increased the volume of the drive mechanism. In comparison, the present application provides a drive mechanism outside the flap plate and guide plate, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption and volume of the drive mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0042] In the description of the present application, it should be explained that the orientations and positional relationships indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are orientations and positional relationships shown based on the drawings, and are merely for the convenience and simplification of the description of the present application, and do not indicate or imply that the described devices or elements must have a specific orientation and be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0043] Example 1 1 to 3, 7 and 8, the present application discloses an ultra-thin parking space lock, which includes a flap plate 21 and a drive mechanism 1 for driving the flap plate 21 to rotate, a cavity 23 is provided in the flap plate 21, a power supply module 25 is attached in the cavity 23, the power supply module 25 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 1, and the drive mechanism 1 is provided outside the flap plate 21, wherein the flap plate 21 has a drive axis 211 and a rotation axis 212 that are parallel to each other, the length direction of the flap plate 21 extends along the rotation axis 212, and when the width value of the flap plate 21 is a, the distance between the drive axis 211 and the rotation axis 212 is a / 2 or less, and the drive mechanism 1 drives the flap plate 21 at the drive axis 211 to rotate it around the rotation axis 212.

[0044] Example 2 With reference to Figures 1, 2, and 4 to 8, the present application discloses an ultra-thin parking space lock, which includes a flap plate 21, a guide plate 22 arranged in parallel with the flap plate 21, and a drive mechanism 1 for driving and rotating the flap plate 21, wherein a cavity 23 is provided in the flap plate 21 and / or the guide plate 22, a power supply module 25 is attached in the cavity 23, the power supply module 25 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 1, and the drive mechanism 1 is provided outside the flap plate 21 and the guide plate 22. Of these, the flap plate 21 has a drive axis 211 and a rotation axis 212 that are parallel to each other, and the longitudinal direction of the flap plate 21 extends along the rotation axis 212. If the width of the flap plate 21 is a, the distance between the drive axis 211 and the rotation axis 212 is a / 2 or less, and the drive mechanism 1 drives the flap plate 21 on the drive axis 211 to rotate it around the rotation axis 212.

[0045] Regarding the above two examples, specifically, Example 1 is an embodiment in which only the flap plate 21 is provided on the parking space lock, and Example 2 is an embodiment in which both the flap plate 21 and the guide plate 22 are provided on the parking space lock. In both Example 1 and Example 2, the flap plate 21 is a movable plate that is driven by the driving mechanism 1 to rotate around the rotation axis 212, and in Example 2, the guide plate 22 is a stationary plate that is mounted on the ground or another mounting carrier. In Example 1, it is selected to provide a cavity 23 in the flap plate 21 and provide a power module 25 in the cavity 23. In Example 2, it is possible to select to provide a cavity 23 in the flap plate 21 and / or the guide plate 22, and provide a power module 25 in the cavity 23 accordingly.

[0046] Among them, the flap plate 21 is for jumping up to lock the parking space lock when it is necessary to lock it and for returning to its original position when it is necessary to unlock the parking space lock, and the guide plate 22 provides a certain transitional guide for the passage of the automobile wheels to the parking space lock.

[0047] It should be noted that the only difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is the installation position of the cavity 23 and the installation position of the power supply module 25. Except for the specific description of the flap plate 21 and the guide plate 22 mentioned in the preceding paragraph, all other structures of Example 1 and Example 2 are the same, and in the following, no distinction will be made between Example 1 and Example 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, the power supply module 25 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 1 and is used to supply power to the driving mechanism 1, and the driving mechanism 1 is provided outside the flap plate 21 and the guide plate 22, which ensures that the power requirement for the driving mechanism 1 is lower when the driving mechanism 1 drives and rotates the flap plate 21. The flap plate 21 has a driving axis 211 and a rotating axis 212 which are parallel to each other, and the length of the flap plate 21 extends along the direction of the rotating axis 212, i.e., the direction is the length direction of the flap plate 21. When the width value of the flap plate 21 is a, the distance between the driving axis 211 and the rotating axis 212 is optimally equal to or less than a / 2, and in this case, the movement space required when the driving mechanism 1 drives the flap plate 21 is reduced. Regarding the rotation of the flap plate 21 around the rotation axis 212, specifically, the flap plate 21 can be rotatably connected to the ground or another mounting carrier of the parking space lock, and a hinge can be provided on the flap plate 21 along the rotation axis 212 to realize the rotation of the flap plate 21 around the rotation axis 212, or a rotation axis can be drilled into the flap plate 21 along the rotation axis 212, thereby achieving the purpose of rotating the flap plate 21 around the rotation axis 212.

[0049] In addition, whereas the drive mechanism 1 is provided outside the flap plate 21 and the guide plate 22, in the prior art, the drive mechanism 1 was sometimes provided inside the flap plate 21 or the guide plate 22. This means that the drive mechanism 1 needs to drive and rotate the flap plate 21 while also driving itself, which not only increases energy consumption and the volume of the drive mechanism 1, but also increases the load on the drive mechanism 1 and shortens the service life of the drive mechanism 1.

[0050] 5, in the second embodiment, the parking space lock is provided with both a flap plate 21 and a guide plate 22, the flap plate 21 is operatively connected to the drive mechanism 1, a cavity 23 is provided in the guide plate 22, and a power supply module 25 is provided in the cavity 23. By mounting the power supply module 25 on the stationary guide plate 22, the weight of the flap plate 21 is reduced compared to when the power supply module 25 is provided on the flap plate 21, so that it is possible to achieve the objective of driving the flap plate 21 to rotate it with a small driver 111.

[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figures 2, 7 and 8, in order to balance the torque that the drive mechanism 1 needs to output and the required movement distance of the parts (connecting arm 12 described below) associated with the movement of the flap plate 21 about the drive axis 211, the rotation axis 212 is located on one side of the width direction of the flap plate 21, that is, the rotation axis 212 is provided on the side of the flap plate 21 closer to the guide plate 22, and the drive axis 211 is located between the center of the flap plate 21 and the rotation axis 212, thereby making it possible to ensure that the drive mechanism 1 can complete the jumping up of the flap plate 21 within the short movement distance of the parts (connecting arm 12 described below) associated with the movement of the flap plate 21 about the drive axis 211, which is further advantageous for realizing an ultra-thin design of the parking space lock.

[0052] 2, 7 and 8, in this embodiment, the height of the plane on which the driving axis 211 is located is higher than the height of the plane on which the rotation axis 212 is located, and this structure provides a certain guide for the power provided by the connecting arm 12 when the connecting arm 12 pushes the flap plate 21 to jump up, and further reduces the power required for the connecting arm 12 to push the flap plate 21. In particular, when the connecting arm 12 is inclined and the output end 122 of the connecting arm 12 is higher than the input end 121 of the connecting arm 12, and the height of the driving axis 211 is higher than the height of the rotation axis 212, the guide effect becomes more significant, and the power required for the connecting arm 12 to push the flap plate 21 can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the demand for the output power from the driving mechanism 1, and as a result, the volume of the core transmission mechanism is reduced.

[0053] 7 to 10, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly 11 and a connecting arm 12, the drive assembly 11 includes a driver 111 and a drive block 112, the driver 111 is transmission connected to the drive block 112 and drives the drive block 112 to reciprocate along a straight line, the connecting arm 12 has an input end 121 and an output end 122, the drive block 112 is rotatably connected to the input end 121, and the output end 122 is rotatably connected to the flap plate 21 at a drive axis 211, and the driver 111 sequentially drives the flap plate 21 via the drive block 112 and the connecting arm 12 to rotate about the rotation axis 212.

[0054] Specifically, the driver 111 may be an extendable rod structure, a worm gear structure, a screw structure, or the like, and is not limited thereto as long as it can drive the driving block 112 to reciprocate along a straight line. By causing the driving block 112 to reciprocate along a straight line by the driver 111, i.e., by causing the input end 121 of the connecting arm 12 to reciprocate along a straight line in the moving direction of the driving block 112, the space required for the movement of the driving block 112 and the input end 121 of the connecting arm 12 is greatly limited, and as a result, the structure of the entire driving mechanism 1 becomes more compact.

[0055] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 11 is provided at one end of the flap plate 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the connecting arm 12 is located between the drive assembly 11 and the flap plate 21. By providing the drive mechanism 1 at one end of the flap plate 21 in the longitudinal direction as described above, the distance between the drive mechanism 1 and the flap plate 21 becomes more compact when the longitudinal direction of the drive mechanism 1, the width direction of the flap plate 21 when not flipped up, and the longitudinal direction of the connecting arm 12 are parallel. By providing the connecting arm 12 between the drive assembly 11 and the flap plate 21, the compactness of the drive mechanism 1 and the flap plate 21 is further improved.

[0056] 7 to 9, in this embodiment, the connecting arm 12 is provided at an incline, and the output end 122 is higher than the input end 121. While the connecting arm 12 is being pushed by the driving assembly 11, a certain guide action is provided for the movement trajectory of the connecting arm 12, so that the movement of the connecting arm 12 becomes smoother and more powerful. In addition, the above structure reduces the distance over which the input end 121 of the connecting arm 12 needs to be driven by the driving mechanism 1 to some extent. In particular, when the driving mechanism 1 adopts a transmission method using the screw 13, the requirement for the length of the screw can be reduced, and as a result, the volume of the core transmission mechanism is reduced.

[0057] 11 to 13, in some embodiments, the parking space lock further includes an auxiliary guide member, the auxiliary guide member includes a first guide member 51, the first guide member 51 is provided on one of the opposing sides of the driving block 112, the driving block 112 is provided with a second guide member 1121 that slides with the first guide member 51, the first guide member 51 and the second guide member 1121 are both provided along the moving direction of the driving block 112, and / or the auxiliary guide member includes a third guide member 52, the third guide member 52 is located on the other opposing side of the drive block 112, and the drive block 112 is provided with a fourth guide member 1122 that slides with the third guide member 52, and the third guide member 52 and the fourth guide member 1122 are both provided along the movement direction of the drive block 112. When the auxiliary guide member includes the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52, the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 are provided so as to be located on both opposing sides of the drive block 112, respectively.

[0058] When the parking space lock is provided with both the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52, it is only necessary to ensure that the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 are positioned on opposite sides of the drive block 112, and correspondingly, the second guide member 1121 and the fourth guide member 1122 are also provided on the corresponding sides of the drive block 112. According to the above structure, it is possible to realize positional regulation of the drive block 112 during movement, and it is possible to prevent the drive block 112 from shifting in any direction other than the guide direction during movement.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 are provided on both sides of the drive block 112 along the direction of the drive axis 211, and the drive block 112 is provided with a second guide member 1121 corresponding to the first guide member 51 and a fourth guide member 1122 corresponding to the third guide member 52. Since the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 need to be fixedly mounted, if both are provided along the direction of the drive axis 211, the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 can be mounted on the ground or other mounting carriers on which the flap plate 21 is mounted, and there is no need to provide another mounting structure for mounting the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52. As a result, the purpose of reducing the number of parts inside the housing case 3 is achieved, and the height of the housing case 3 is further reduced.

[0060] It should be explained that, of the first guide member 51 and the second guide member 1121, one is a slide groove and the other is a slider, but this is not limited here; correspondingly, of the third guide member 52 and the fourth guide member 1122, one is a slide groove and the other is a slider, but this is not limited here.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first guide member 51 and the third guide member 52 are slide grooves, the second guide member 1121 and the fourth guide member 1122 are sliders provided on the drive block 112, and it is optimal that both the second guide member 1121 and the fourth guide member 1122 are integrally molded with the drive block 112, which makes it easy to install the drive block 112.

[0062] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, in some embodiments, the flap plate 21 has a first pivotal connection member 24 at the end facing the connecting arm 12 on the drive axis 211, and a second pivotal connection member 1221 at the output end 122, and the first pivotal connection member 24 is pivotally connected to the second pivotal connection member 1221.

[0063] Specifically, a first pivotal connection member 24 is provided at the end of the drive axis 211 of the flap plate 21 facing the connecting arm 12, and a second pivotal connection member 1221 is provided at the output end 122 of the connecting arm 12, of which the first pivotal connection member 24 is one of the axial hole and the pivot shaft, and the second pivotal connection member 1221 is the other of the axial hole and the pivot shaft. By inserting the pivot shaft into the axial hole, a pivotal connection between the drive block 112 and the input end 121 can be realized, which is easy to install and has a simple structure, making it easy to produce, assemble and maintain.

[0064] In some embodiments, the driving block 112 is provided with a third pivot connection member 1123, and the input end 121 is provided with a fourth pivot connection member 1211 that is pivotally engaged with the third pivot connection member 1123. The third pivot connection member 1123 and the fourth pivot connection member 1211 may have any structure as long as the third pivot connection member 1123 and the fourth pivot connection member 1211 can pivot relative to each other and the input end 121 of the coupling arm 12 can linearly reciprocate by the driving block 112.

[0065] Specifically, the third pivot connecting member 1123 and the fourth pivot connecting member 1211 have an axial hole on one side and a pivot shaft on the other side, that is, the third pivot connecting member 1123 can be either an axial hole or a pivot shaft, and the fourth pivot connecting member 1211 can be the other of an axial hole or a pivot shaft, and by inserting the pivot shaft into the axial hole, the pivot connection between the driving block 112 and the input end 121 can be realized, which is easy to install and has a simple structure, and is easy to produce, assemble and maintain.

[0066] 14 to 16, in this embodiment, a rotation axis is adopted for the third rotation connecting member 1123 and an axial hole is adopted for the fourth rotation connecting member 1211, in addition, the first guide member 51 is provided between the drive block 112 and the flap plate 21, the second guide member 1121 is provided on an extending portion of the third rotation connecting member 1123, the third rotation connecting member 1123 is provided toward the first guide member 51, and the extending portion of the third rotation connecting member 1123 passes through the fourth rotation connecting member 1211 so that the first guide member 51 and the second guide member 1121 are in sliding contact with each other.

[0067] Specifically, since the third pivot connecting member 1123 is provided through the fourth pivot connecting member 1211, the second guide member 1121 becomes a part of the third pivot connecting member 1123 that passes through the fourth pivot connecting member 1211, and compared with a design in which the second guide member 1121 and the third pivot connecting member 1123 are separate, the second guide member 1121 is provided on the third pivot connecting member 1123, which makes it easier to produce the driving block 112 and also reduces the volume of the core transmission mechanism. Furthermore, the length of the third pivot connecting member 1123 may be secured in advance so that an excess portion remains on the third pivot connecting member 1123 after passing through the fourth pivot connecting member 1211, and the excess portion of the third pivot connecting member 1123 may be flat-milled to form the second guide member 1121, which makes it easier to process the driving block 112 and reduces the volume of the core transmission mechanism.

[0068] 14 to 16, in this embodiment, in order to make the connection between the connecting arm 12 and the first guide member 51 more compact, an escape groove 123 is provided at the input end 121 of the connecting arm 12 toward the first guide member 51, and the escape groove 123 is for preventing interference with the first guide member 51 during the movement of the connecting arm 12, and according to the above structure, the connecting arm 12 is thinned at the contact point between the connecting arm 12 and the first guide member 51, so that the structure between the connecting arm 12 and the first guide member 51 becomes more compact, and as a result, the dimensions of the housing case 3 are reduced and the height of the parking space lock is reduced. Correspondingly, the fourth pivot connection member 1211 is provided in the escape groove 123 so that the third pivot connection member 1123 provided through the fourth pivot connection member 1211 can contact the first guide member 51.

[0069] 7 and 8, in this embodiment, the screw 13 is connected to the driver 111 so as to be coaxially driven, and the driving block 112 is provided with a screw that matches the screw 13, that is, the driving block 112 is a nut that matches the screw 13, and the driving block 112 is screwed to the screw 13, and the driver 111 drives and rotates the screw 13, thereby causing the driving block 112 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the screw 13, and a smaller-volume screw 13 is adopted as a screw that matches the driving block 112, thereby reducing the volume of the driving mechanism 1 and ensuring stable power output. And, since the driver 111 and the screw 13 are provided coaxially, it is easy to integrate the screw 13 and the driver 111 with other structures, for example, the screw 13 and the driver 111 that are provided coaxially are provided on one side of the flap plate 21 and / or the guide plate 22, so that the structure of the flap plate 21, the screw 13, and the driver 111 becomes more compact.

[0070] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the driver 111 includes a motor and a reducer, and the motor, the reducer and the screw 13 are sequentially connected, and the reducer is for increasing the torque output from the motor. In addition to the above structure, the motor, the reducer and the screw 13 are also arranged coaxially, so that the volume required for mounting the driving mechanism 1 is reduced.

[0071] 2 and 9, in some embodiments, the parking space lock further includes a housing case 3, in which a drive mechanism 1 is provided, a portion of the drive mechanism 1 extends outside the housing case 3 and is transmission-connected to the flap plate 21 at the drive axis 211 of the flap plate 21, and drives the flap plate 21 to rotate about the rotation axis 212, and the housing case 3 provides a certain protective effect for the drive mechanism 1.

[0072] Correspondingly, in order to facilitate the connection between the connecting arm 12 and the drive block 112 in the housing case 3, and the connection between the connecting arm 12 and the flap plate 21 outside the housing case 3 (i.e., the first pivotal connection member 24 provided on the flap plate 21), an escape passage 31 is provided in the housing case 3, and the connecting arm 12 is transmission-connected to the flap plate 21 through the escape passage 31, and the escape passage 31 can also provide the necessary movement space for the connecting arm 12.

[0073] 17 to 20, the escape passage 31 extends from the side of the housing case 3 to the top of the housing case 3, and when the flap plate 21 rotates, the output end 122 of the connecting arm 12 extends out of the escape passage 31 or retracts into the escape passage 31. Since the escape passage 31 provides an upward movement space for the connecting arm 12, a low-height housing case 3 can be used, and the drive mechanism 1 and connecting arm 12 provided in the housing case 3 can also be attached.

[0074] Specifically, when the flap plate 21 is in the raised state, the output end 122 of the connecting arm 12 extends from the escape passage 31, so there is no need to provide a tall housing case 3 to provide the connecting arm 12 with movement space in the case where the housing case 3 does not have the escape passage 31. As a result, it is ensured that the height of the housing case 3 itself is not high, thereby reducing the overall height of the parking space lock and achieving the purpose of an ultra-thin design.

[0075] In this embodiment, in addition to the parking space lock being provided with a housing case 3, the parking space lock further includes a controller 4, the controller 4 is provided in the housing case 3, the controller 4 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 1 and the power supply module 25 respectively, and the controller 4 is arranged in parallel with the drive mechanism 1.

[0076] Specifically, in order to achieve the design objective of making the parking space lock more compact, the housing case 3 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the flap plate 21, and correspondingly, the drive mechanism 1 and the controller 4 are both arranged to be located inside the housing case 3, and the controller 4 is made elongated so that the longitudinal direction of the controller 4 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the drive mechanism 1. This reduces the space that needs to be reserved in advance in the housing case 3 for mounting the controller 4 and the drive mechanism 1, and further reduces the dimensions of the parking space lock.

[0077] Furthermore, by making the controller 4 long and arranging the length direction of the controller 4 parallel to the length direction of the drive mechanism 1, and by arranging both length directions parallel to the width direction of the flap plate 21 in the restored state, the compactness between the flap plate 21 and the housing case 3 and between the drive mechanism 1 and the controller 4 in the parking space lock is maximized, and the volume of the parking space lock is further reduced. Compared to the conventional technology in which the controller 4 is provided inside the flap plate 21 and the housing case 3, the weight and thickness of the flap plate 21 are reduced.

[0078] In some embodiments, the controller 4 has an antenna module 41, and the antenna module 41 is communicatively connected to the controller 4. An escape port 32 is provided on the side wall of the housing case 3 in the height direction of the housing case 3, and the antenna module 41 is provided in the escape port 32. By providing the escape port 32 for mounting the antenna module 41 in the height direction of the housing case 3, the transmission quality of the signal from the antenna module 41 is guaranteed, and more importantly, the housing case 3 and the antenna module 41, which are both mounted, can be prevented from overlapping in the height direction, so that the height of the housing case 3 is effectively reduced while the transmission quality of the signal from the antenna module 41 is guaranteed.

[0079] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 21, in order to improve the integrity of the housing case 3, it is optimal that the escape opening 32 is provided in close contact with the outer wall of the antenna module 41. [Explanation of symbols]
