Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a parking meter comprising luminous means for indicating anomalies.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the field of parking meters having in particular light-emitting diodes of different color to indicate anomalies of different nature.
  • parking meters which include a microprocessor designed, in particular, to receive information on operating anomalies from various members of the parking meter and to apply an alarm signal to a light-emitting diode whose color corresponds to the type of l 'anomaly detected.
  • anomalies which are real malfunctions of the devices, that is to say those which disable the parking meters, for example when the circuits are cut off , the receipt roll is empty, the printer or coin selector no longer works, or the money box is full.
  • anomalies also mean situations preceding certain malfunctions but in which the parking meters are still able to issue a ticket, this is particularly the case when the next end of the roll of tickets is detected.
  • the microprocessor of the device applies to a light-emitting diode of red color a periodic signal causing the blinking of said diode, while if a second type of anomaly is detected the same periodic blinking signal is applied to a green light emitting diode.
  • the flashing of one or the other of the light-emitting diodes is identified by the personnel responsible for the maintenance of the parking lot of parking meters during surveillance rounds. Following an intervention ending the anomaly noted, the application of the periodic signal to the relevant light-emitting diode is suppressed and the flashing stops.
  • the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a parking meter comprising light means capable of emitting, each, a light radiation characteristic of a given type of anomalies, a parking meter which would ensure a efficient maintenance of parking meters by centralized monitoring, without having to increase the number of staff.
  • said parking meter comprises a module connected to said light means and comprising detection means capable of detecting the emission of said light radiation by each of the light means in order to identify said type of anomalies given and means for transmitting to a recipient unit a message representative of the type of anomalies thus identified.
  • the parking meter according to the invention is capable of signaling remotely to said recipient unit, the type of anomalies detected directly from the operating state of the light means, light-emitting diodes for example, which will have been imposed by the parking meter microprocessor.
  • the detection means make it possible to know whether one of the two diodes is flashing and, in this case, which one.
  • the form of the anomaly message sent by the transmission means will depend on that of the two diodes whose blinking has been recognized.
  • the recipient unit will then be able to know remotely which of the two diodes LED flashes, so that you can intervene accordingly.
  • the recipient unit can be a fixed central station or a portable receiver with which monitoring and maintenance agents are equipped.
  • said detection means of said module are optical detectors associated, each with a light means, each optical detector being connected to the light means associated by an optical fiber.
  • said means for detecting said module are produced by electrical connections each associated with a light means.
  • the diagram in FIG. 1 relates to a parking meter comprising two light means, here light-emitting diodes D1, D2, each capable of emitting light radiation characteristic of a given type of anomalies.
  • anomalies that completely disable the parking meter will be identified by the flashing of a red light-emitting diode D1, this will be the case during a printer failure, a power cut power supply, etc, while the flashing of a light-emitting diode D2 of green color will be significant of an anomaly which does not affect the immediate operation of the parking meter, but announces that an anomaly of the first type is about to happen, like when only a limited number of tickets remain on the roll of paper.
  • the diodes D1 and D2 are controlled by the microprocessor 10 which manages the whole parking meter, in particular the basic operations consisting in calculating the parking time limit from the sum entered by the user and the current time, and to print the ticket.
  • the microprocessor 10 is also connected by terminals referenced from 1 to 6, for example, to the various organs of the apparatus whose anomalies must be taken into account, such as the printer, the piggy bank, the currency selector, etc. When an anomaly is detected on one of these organs, the microprocessor 10 applies to the corresponding light-emitting diode a periodic signal causing the blinking of said diode and this as long as the cause of the anomaly remains.
  • FIG. 1 shows that the parking meter is also provided with a module 20 connected to the light-emitting diodes D1, D2, the function of which is to send to a recipient unit a message representative of the type of anomalies after it has been identified. by module 20.
  • the anomaly is identified in the example shown in FIG. 1, using detection means constituted by optical detectors, here phototransistors T1, T2, each associated with a light-emitting diode D1. , D2, each phototransistor being connected to the associated diode by an optical fiber F1, F2.
  • detection means constituted by optical detectors, here phototransistors T1, T2, each associated with a light-emitting diode D1. , D2, each phototransistor being connected to the associated diode by an optical fiber F1, F2.
  • the signals supplied by the phototransistors T1, T2 are applied to two different terminals 1 ′, 2 ′ of a microprocessor 21 of the module 20, which makes it possible to differentiate the types of anomalies observed.
  • the microprocessor 21 of the module 20 composes a message representative of said anomaly and transmits it to the recipient unit using transmission means such as a modem 22 via a radio link or the switched telephone network.
  • said destination unit can be a central station in the parking meter system or a portable receiving device with which maintenance personnel are provided during surveillance rounds.
  • an identifier of said parking meter a number for example, to be stored in module 20, at know here in a read only memory associated with the microprocessor 21.
  • the message representative of the type of anomalies emitted then contains said identifier.
  • said module is capable of transmitting an end of fault message.
  • said end of error message contains, if necessary, the identifier of the corresponding parking meter.
  • module 20 can be extended by connecting it to other means indicating anomalies such as shock detectors occurring during physical attacks against parking meters.
  • FIG. 2 a second embodiment of the invention in which the detection means of said module 20 are made by electrical connections C1, C2, each associated with a light emitting diode D1, D2 , each electrical connection connecting the module 20 to the associated light-emitting diode.
  • the electrical signals taken from the diode circuit are applied to two different terminals 1 ′, 2 ′ of the microprocessor 21 of the module 20.
