Description

1 TARIFF A PISTON-BASED WEDGE PLACEMENT SYSTEM Technical Area 5 This invention prevents vehicles parked on sloping roads from moving unintentionally. a chock that automatically places a chock under the vehicle to allow it to pass It is related to the placement system. Previous Technique Whether the road is flat or sloped is a factor to consider when parking a vehicle. Parking a car on an inclined road is more difficult than parking on a flat road. This... A car parked next to a steep road may have a problem with its braking system. 15 In this situation, the vehicle may move uncontrollably downhill. This Nowadays, wedges are used to prevent such situations. Drivers who park their vehicles on steep slopes manually place chocks under the wheels. to place it in front and prevent the vehicle from moving downhill on its own. He is trying to pass. However, placing the chock is difficult, and the driver 20 It is also a time-consuming process in terms of the driver's role. Therefore, nowadays, the driver's vehicle It automatically places a chock under the wheel when triggered from inside. Solutions are needed. European patent no. EP4414186A1, which is included in the prior art, 25 The document states that the pneumatic system operates using air stored in the compressor's air tank. a mechanism designed to automatically attach chocks to the vehicle using pistons It is mentioned that this refers to a system for operating an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck. and the method is provided. A processor controls the autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, It enables the attachment and disconnection of trailers. Various 30 Sensors, in conjunction with the processor, detect the terrain and objects, and 2 It helps to automatically connect / disconnect trailers. This is happening. It monitors the truck's movements and the trailer's connection and disconnection. a server wirelessly connected to a processor that determines their location It is located. The gate station opens the rear doors of the trailer when it comes alongside. It opens and secures in the open position with latches, etc. The system is for the 5 of the trailer. the height and / or whether the trailer's landing gear is on the ground By calculating, they work together to change the height with the fifth wheel, and In assessing whether docking is safe, manual control to be taken over by the user and the optimum charging time determined It provides the possibility of... Also, reverse gear sensors / safety, automatic wheel chocks and 10 Intermodal container organization is also provided. Brief Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention is to prevent vehicles from moving unintentionally on inclined roads. 15 two pistons that move vertically and horizontally when triggered by the driver placing a wedge, which is removed from inside the vehicle by moving it, onto the wheel. The goal is to implement a wedge placement system that provides this. Another purpose of the invention is to check that the wedge is properly placed on the wheel and 20 a wheel chock placement system that provides driver information to accomplish.

Tank (5) is fixed and stable with air from compressor (4). to provide pressure and control the valve (10) if the pistons (2,3) need it. to transmit compressed air through air piping (11) It is being structured. 25 The button (1) in the system that is the subject of the invention (6) indicator located inside the vehicle cabin It is located on the panel (P) and when pressed, the wedge of the control unit (8) It enables the initiation of the necessary procedures for placement. Button (6) Requests for placement and removal of the chock (T) must be submitted by the driver within 30 days. 6 It is used for transmission. By pressing the button (6), the wedge (T) is attached to the wheel. It is automatically positioned or removed from the wheel it is positioned on. In the system of invention (1), the sensor (7) on the underside of the vehicle wheel being able to see, being in communication with the control unit (8), these 5 to exchange data via communication and pressing the button (6) then it is triggered to check whether the wedge (T) is properly seated on the wheel. It is configured to control. In the system that is the subject of the invention, the control unit (8) contains the first piston (2), the second 10 In communication with piston (3), compressor (4), button (6), sensor (7) and motor (14) to be and to exchange data through this established communication. It is configured. The control unit (8) is configured when the driver presses the button (6). by triggering the motor (14) to open the cover (13), then via the compressor (4) By enabling the control of the produced air through valves (10), primarily 15 to give movement to the first piston (2), to complete the movement of the first piston (2) It is configured to move the second piston (3) with the control unit. (8) with the completion of the movement of the second piston (3) the wedge (T) to the wheel to ensure its placement and to check whether the sensor (7) is properly positioned. It is configured to control. The control unit (8) is connected to the sensor (7) with 20 After deciding that the wedge (T) is properly seated, it is transmitted via valve (10) to cut off the air, terminate the movement of the second piston (3) and stop the driver from the process to inform via the dashboard (P) that it is completed It is configured. The control unit (8) is properly aligned with the sensor (7) and the wedge (T). When it decides that it is not seated correctly, it warns the driver via the instrument panel (P). 25 and to inform that the wedge (T) needs to be placed manually. It is configured. The control unit (8) is for removing the wedge (T) from the wheel. By pressing the button (6) again, the valves (10) are triggered and the air is released. to ensure that the pistons (2,3) work in the opposite direction and that the movement is completed then 30 to ensure that the lid (13) is closed by means of the motor (14). 7 It is configured. Thus, the system (1) is ready for the vehicle to move. It is coming. In the preferred application of the invention, the control unit (8) is located on the vehicle. The tilt sensor provides information about the tilt of the parking spot. 5 to acquire and a slope where the incline in question could cause the vehicle to move unintentionally. If it is on, the driver is indicated for placement of the chock (T). It is configured to give a warning on the panel (P). Control unit (8) preferably parking the vehicle on roads with a slope greater than 5 degrees It is configured to warn the driver in this situation. This allows the driver to press the button 10 times. (6) pressing ensures the wedge (T) is placed automatically. Through the system (1) which is the subject of the invention, the driver can drive on roads with a certain incline. placing chocks under the wheels of the vehicle when you want to park it They are warned about this and when the driver presses the button (6) the wedge (T) automatically 15 It is mounted on the wheel. For this, first the instrument panel (P) The button (6) on it is pressed and the control unit (8) opens the cover (13). After opening the lid (13), the material produced by the compressor (4) and in the tank (5) The stored compressed air is controlled via valves (10) and firstly by the first giving the piston (2) movement in the vertical direction, then the second piston (3) in the horizontal direction 20 It moves. The sensor (7) detects whether the wedge (T) is seated on the wheel. The driver is checking whether the chock is properly seated. The driver is informed via the instrument panel (P). The wedge (T) is properly positioned. The air supply to the second piston (3) is cut off by placing the wedge (T). If it is not properly positioned, the driver can manually position the drive block (T). 25 To turn off the system (1), the button (6) is pressed again and the valve By releasing the air from the pistons (2,3) through (10), the wedge is removed from the wheel. It is ensured that it is taken and returned to the container (12) inside the vehicle. 8 Based on these fundamental concepts, the invention is a "Piston-Driven Block Mounting System". It is possible to develop a wide variety of applications related to (1)”, and the invention is here It cannot be limited to the examples given; it is essentially as stated in the claims.
