In the following description, a detailed structure will be presented for a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present utility model. It will be apparent that embodiments of the utility model may be practiced without limitation to the specific details that are set forth by those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, however, the present utility model may have other embodiments in addition to these detailed descriptions.

The utility model provides a vehicle chassis height detection device. The vehicle chassis height detection device may be disposed at an entrance of the parking space. When a vehicle is about to enter a parking space, it is necessary to pass a vehicle chassis height detection device. At this time, the vehicle chassis height detection device can detect whether the height of the vehicle chassis is lower than a preset height.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the vehicle chassis height detection device includes a fixed plate 110 and a fixed plate bracket 120. The fixing plate 110 may be a sheet metal member. The stationary plate bracket 120 is adapted to be connected to a platform (e.g., the ground) for carrying a vehicle.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the length direction of the fixing plate bracket 120 is a first horizontal direction D1. The first horizontal direction D1 is a direction in which the vehicle enters or exits the parking space. The fixing plate bracket 120 is coupled (e.g., welded) to the fixing plate 110. The lower end of the fixed plate bracket 120 is connected to the platform. Thus, the fixing plate 110 is fixed to the platform by the fixing plate bracket 120. In addition, the fixing plate bracket 120 may increase the rigidity of the fixing plate 110.

One end (protruding end 121) of the fixing plate bracket 120 extends to the outside of the fixing plate 110 in the first horizontal direction D1.

With continued reference to fig. 1-4, the vehicle chassis height detection device further includes a pivot shaft 130 and a float detection plate 140. The floating detection plate 140 may be a sheet metal member. Floating sensing plate 140 includes a floating body 145. In the first horizontal direction D1, the floating detection plate 140 is located on the side of the fixed plate 110 near the protruding end 121. In the second horizontal direction D2, the position of the floating detection plate 140 does not protrude from the position of the fixed plate 110. The position of the portion of the floating detection plate 140 and the position of the fixed plate 110 overlap in the height direction D3 of the fixed plate 110. Thus, the floating detection plate 140 and the fixed plate 110 are juxtaposed. The second horizontal direction D2 is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction D1. The second horizontal direction D2 and the first horizontal direction D1 are perpendicular to the height direction D3 of the fixing plate 110. In the first horizontal direction D1, an end of the floating body 145 of the floating detection plate 140, which is close to the fixed plate 110, includes a detection end 141. The protruding end 121 is located below the lower surface of the floating detection plate 140.

The axial direction of the pivot shaft 130 is parallel to the second horizontal direction D2. The pivot shaft 130 is located below the floating body 145 of the floating detection plate 140. The pivot shaft 130 is disposed at the protruding end 121 of the fixed plate bracket 120. A floating sensing plate 140 is rotatably connected to the protruding end 121 by a pivot shaft 130. In this way, the floating detection plate 140 can be rotated so that the detection end 141 can be rotated between the raised position and the depressed position. During rotation of the sensing end 141 from the raised position to the depressed position, the sensing end 141 rotates downward. That is, the sensing end 141 in the raised position is higher than the sensing end 141 in the depressed position. The height of the detecting end 141 at the raised position is the predetermined height. The size of the preset height can be set according to the requirement.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the vehicle chassis height detection device further includes an elastic member 150 and a stopper 160. The elastic member 150 may be a torsion spring. The elastic member 150 includes a body, a first leg and a second leg. The body is of a cylindrical structure. The body is sleeved on the periphery of the pivot shaft 130. Along the axial direction of body, the one end of body is provided with first landing leg, and the other end of body is provided with the second landing leg. The first leg abuts the lower surface of the floating body 145 of the floating detection plate 140. The second leg abuts the protruding end 121 of the fixed plate bracket 120. The elastic member 150 is in a twisted state. In this way, the elastic member 150 can apply a force to the floating detection plate 140. This force can rotate the floating detection plate 140 to rotate the detection end 141 away from the depressed position.

Of course, it is understood that the resilient member 150 may also be a cylindrical spring. One end of the cylindrical spring is abutted with the lower surface of the floating detection plate. The other end of the cylindrical spring abuts against the protruding end 121 of the fixing plate bracket 120. The cylindrical spring is in a compressed state.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the stopper 160 is connected to the end bending portion 143. The stopper 160 extends toward the fixing plate 110 to extend to the fixing plate 110. The stopper 160 is located below the end of the fixed plate 110 near the floating detection plate 140. Thus, with the sensing end 141 in the raised position, the stop 160 abuts an end of the fixed plate 110 adjacent the floating sensing plate 140 to block the floating sensing plate 140, thereby preventing the sensing end 141 from continuing to rotate away from the depressed position.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the vehicle chassis height detection apparatus further includes a detection switch 170, a controller (not shown), and a warning device (not shown). The detection switch 170 may be a contact switch. The detection switch 170 includes a body and a trigger pin 171 connected to the body. The detection switch 170 is located below the fixed plate 110. The body of the detection switch 170 is connected to the fixed plate bracket 120. Thus, the body of the detection switch 170 is disposed on the fixing plate 110. Trigger pin 171 extends below end bend 143 of floating detector plate 140. When the detecting end 141 rotates from the raised position to the depressed position, the end bending portion 143 of the floating detecting plate 140 can toggle the triggering pin 171 to trigger the detecting switch 170.

The detection switch 170 is electrically connected to the controller through a wire. The controller may be electrically connected to the warning device. The warning device may be a warning light or a warning horn.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, when a vehicle traveling into a parking space passes the sensing end 141 of the floating sensing plate 140, if the height of the vehicle chassis is lower than the height of the sensing end 141 located at the raised position, the sensing end 141 is pressed downward so that the sensing end 141 is rotated to the depressed position away from the raised position. At this time, the sensing terminal 141 is rotated downward to toggle the trigger pin 171 of the sensing switch 170, thereby triggering the sensing switch 170. Thus, the detection switch 170 sends an alert electrical signal to the controller. The controller receiving the warning signal can control the warning device to work so as to send out a warning signal, thereby reminding drivers and staff that the chassis of the vehicle is too low.

It will be appreciated that in an embodiment not shown, the body of the detection switch may also be connected to a floating detection plate. The trigger pin of the detection switch can extend to the fixed plate. Under the condition that the detection end leaves the lifting position and rotates to the pressing position, the fixed plate contacts the trigger pin to trigger the detection switch.

When the vehicle leaves the floating detection plate 140, the floating detection plate 140 is rotated to the raised position by the elastic member 150. At this time, the floating detection plate 140 is separated from the trigger pin 171 of the detection switch 170, so that the trigger pin 171 is restored to its original position. In this way, the detection switch 170 stops sending alert electrical signals to the controller. The controller stops controlling the warning device to emit a warning signal.

When the vehicle is traveling into the parking space with the vehicle chassis at a height higher than the detection end 141 in the raised position, the detection switch 170 is triggered without touching the detection end 141.

In this embodiment, if the vehicle chassis is lower than the detection end 141 of the floating detection plate 140, the detection end 141 is rotated to a depressed position when the vehicle runs through the vehicle chassis height detection device, and the detection switch 170 is triggered; thus, the vehicle with the vehicle chassis lower than the detection end 141 of the floating detection plate 140 at the raised position can be timely found to pass through the vehicle chassis height detection device, the situation that the vehicle cannot be transported by the parking equipment arranged on the parking space is avoided, the parking efficiency is further improved, and the vehicle is prevented from being damaged is avoided.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the end portion of the fixing plate 110 in the second horizontal direction D2 is bent and extended downward to constitute a fixing bending reinforcement portion 111. Thereby, the strength of the fixing plate 110 can be improved.

Still preferably, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the lower end of the fixing bending reinforcement part 111 is bent and extended toward the inner side of the fixing plate 110 (the side of the fixing bending reinforcement part 111 near the center of the fixing plate in the second horizontal direction D2) along the second horizontal direction D2 to constitute the fixing connection part 112. The lower surface of the fixed connection 112 substantially conforms to the upper surface of the platform. Thereby further improving the strength of the fixing plate 110.

In the second horizontal direction D2, the free end of the fixing connection portion 112 is located inside the fixing bending reinforcement portion 111 near the center of the fixing plate 110. Thereby, the fixing plate 110 is small in structural size.

Preferably, the fixing connection part 112 is provided with a fixing hole 113. The fixing plate 110 is fixedly coupled to the platform through the fixing hole 113. Thus, the connection of the fixing plate 110 and the platform is firm.

As shown in fig. 2, in the case where the detection end 141 is located at the raised position, the floating body 145 of the floating detection plate 140 is inclined to the height direction D3 of the fixed plate 110. Thus, the sensing end 141 of the floating sensing plate 140 is higher than the trailing end 142 of the floating body 145 remote from the fixed plate 110. Thereby, the trailing end 142 of the floating detection plate 140 can be prevented from scraping the vehicle chassis.

With continued reference to fig. 2, with the sensing end 141 in the raised position, the lower surface of the trailing end 142 is substantially flush with the lower surface of the fixed plate 110. Thus, trailing end 142 of floating sensing plate 140 overlaps the platform such that the platform supports floating sensing plate 140. The upper surface of the platform is parallel to the horizontal direction.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the end portion of the floating detection plate 140 in the second horizontal direction D2 is bent and extended downward to constitute a detection bending reinforcing portion 144. That is, the end of the floating body 145 in the second horizontal direction D2, and the end of the end bending portion 143 hereinafter in the second horizontal direction D2 are provided with the detection bending reinforcing portion 144. Thereby, the strength of the floating detection plate 140 can be improved.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the detection end 141 is bent downward to constitute an end bending portion 143. Thereby, the highest position of the detection end 141 forms smooth transition, and the highest position of the detection end 141 is prevented from scratching the chassis of the vehicle; further, the strength of the floating detection plate 140 can be increased.

It is further preferred that the end bend 143 is inclined to the plane of the floating body 145. Thus, in the first horizontal direction D1, one end of the end bending portion 143 near the fixing plate 110 is lower than the other end. Thereby, the molding of the end bending portion 143 is facilitated.

When the detecting end 141 is at the raised position, the end bending portion 143 is inclined to the height direction D3 of the fixing plate 110. At this time, the position of the end bending portion 143 near the one end of the fixing plate 110 is lower than the position of the detection end 141 in the first horizontal direction D1. Thus, if the driver does not hear the warning signal to drive into the parking space, the vehicle chassis moves toward the contact end bending portion 143 and acts on the end bending portion 143 when the vehicle exits the parking space, so that the detection end 141 rotates toward the depressed position until the vehicle chassis contacts the detection end 141. During this process, the floating detection plate 140 can be in sliding contact with the vehicle chassis of the vehicle, avoiding scratching the vehicle chassis.

In the case where the detection end 141 is located at the raised position, the end of the end bending portion 143 near the fixing plate 110 is located lower than the upper surface of the fixing plate 110. Thus, if the driver does not hear the warning signal and drives into the parking space, the end of the end bending portion 143 near the fixing plate 110 can be prevented from scratching the vehicle chassis when the vehicle leaves the parking space.

Preferably, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the vehicle chassis height detection device further includes a floating bracket 180. Floating mount 180 is attached to the lower surface of the body of floating detection plate 140. The floating bracket 180 is pivotally connected to the fixed plate bracket 120 by a pivot shaft 130. In this way, floating mount 180 can increase the rigidity of floating detection plate 140.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, in the first horizontal direction D1, floating bracket 180 extends from one end of floating detection plate 140 to the other end. There is a space between the pivot shaft 130 and the end of the floating detection plate 140 in the first horizontal direction D1. Thereby, the distance between the detection end 141 of the floating detection plate 140 and the pivot shaft 130 can be reduced, thereby reducing the moment arm between the detection end 141 and the pivot shaft 130, and thus reducing the possibility of damage to the detection end 141.

The upper end of the fixing plate bracket 120 is connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate 110. There is a space between the fixing plate bracket 120 and an end of the fixing plate 110 in the second horizontal direction D2. Therefore, the vehicle chassis height detection device is small in size and simple in structure.

Preferably, referring back to fig. 1, the fixed plate 110 is provided with access openings 114. The vehicle chassis height detection device also includes an access panel 190. An access panel 190 is removably connected to the fixed panel 110 to cover the access opening 114. Thus, opening access panel 190 allows access to the vehicle chassis height detection device via access port 114.

The utility model also provides a parking system. The parking system comprises the vehicle chassis height detection device.

In this embodiment, the parking system includes the aforementioned vehicle chassis height detection device, and if the vehicle chassis is lower than the detection end 141 of the floating detection plate 140, the detection end 141 is rotated to a depressed position when the vehicle runs through the vehicle chassis height detection device, so as to trigger the detection switch 170; thus, the vehicle with the vehicle chassis lower than the detection end 141 of the floating detection plate 140 at the raised position can be timely found to pass through the vehicle chassis height detection device, the situation that the vehicle cannot be transported by the parking equipment arranged on the parking space is avoided, the parking efficiency is further improved, and the vehicle is prevented from being damaged is avoided.
