Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for paying a parking fee in a paid parking space through the operation of the driver himself.

This type of parking display device has never been seen before, and in the past, people paid a fee at a parking meter on the street and parked in that space, or a parking ticket purchased in advance was displayed on the front windshield of the car. Next, I set it up so that I can see it from the outside.

−? 7'l, It is troublesome for the security guard to check whether the toll is paid, and it is difficult to put violation stickers on illegally parked cars.
This required a lot of time and effort, such as waiting for the driver to return to the car, and required a large number of watchmen. Other problems also arose, such as the destruction and repair of on-street parking meters, maintenance and inspection, and theft of fares from parking meters.

The present invention seeks to provide a highly effective device for solving this problem.

Hereinafter, a parking display device according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this parking display device.

In this figure, 1 is a counter circuit section that counts signals from a crystal generator, etc., and 2 is a current time display section consisting of a liquid crystal panel, etc., that displays the current time based on the time numbers counted by the counter circuit section 1. . Reference numeral 3 denotes a parking unit time setting section consisting of a push button switch etc. for setting the parking unit time of the parking space, and 4 a parking unit time display section consisting of a liquid crystal panel etc. for displaying the time set by the parking unit time setting section 3. It is. Reference numeral 5 denotes a parking unit charge setting section consisting of a push button switch etc. for setting the parking unit charge for the parking space, and 6 indicates the parking unit charge setting section set by the parking unit charge setting s5. This is a parking unit fee display section consisting of a liquid crystal panel etc. that displays the parking fee. 7Fi is a free parking time day setting section consisting of a push-button switch, etc. that sets the time, interval, and day of the week when parking fees are free, and 8Fi is a free parking time day setting section that is set by the free parking time day setting section 7 and is a liquid crystal panel, etc. that displays the dead time day of the week. This is the free parking time and day of the week display. Reference numeral 9 denotes a purchase parking fee setting section consisting of a push-button switch, etc., which is installed at the time of purchasing this device in advance, and a purchase parking fee display section consisting of a liquid crystal panel etc. that displays toFi purchase parking fee 1-. This is also subtracted according to the parking unit time, fee, and elapsed parking time set in the parking unit time setting section 5 and parking unit fee setting section 5, and nine balances are displayed. Reference numeral 11 denotes a parking start/end set switch section comprising a push button switch, etc., which is set at the time of parking start/end. 12Vi parking unit time-
The parking fee display section includes a liquid crystal panel or the like that displays a parking fee that increases according to the parking unit time and fee set by the parking unit 5 and the parking unit fee setting section 5 and the elapsed parking time. 15Fi Calculates the balance of the parking fee and purchase parking fee according to the parking elapsed time and the next parking unit time and fee set by the parking unit time setting unit 5 and parking unit fee setting unit 5, and calculates the balance of the parking fee and purchase parking fee, and sets the free parking time and day of the week setting unit 7. It is an arithmetic circuit unit consisting of a microcomputer and its peripheral circuits, etc., which automatically cancels fare calculation at a set time and day of the week, and displays the result of the computation on the purchase parking rate display unit 10 and the parking rate display unit 12. i4 is a parking start time display section made of a liquid crystal panel or the like that displays the time when parking is started by setting the parking start/end set switch section 110. Reference numeral 15 denotes a time and day of the week correction unit comprising a push button switch and the like for correcting the current time and day of the week.

FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 are a front view, a back view, and a top view, respectively, showing a specific example of the present parking display device. This will be explained using an example of use as a wing body.

First, before starting parking, the current time display section 16, day of the week display section 1
7 is keeping accurate time. The time and day of the week correction section can be easily corrected by the correction switch section 18.

The user stops the car in the parking space, confirms the parking unit time and fee in the parking space, and sets the unit time by selecting the time selection switch 19.

In this figure, the set switch is internally illuminated and serves both as a switch and a display. The parking fee is displayed on the parking unit fee display section 21 by the fee setting switch 20. In this figure, the parking unit time is 1 hour and the fee is 80 cents.

The free parking time and day of the week in the Mon parking space can be determined by the free parking start time display section 22, the free parking start time setting switch 23, the free parking end time display section 24, the free parking end time setting switch 25, and the free parking day of the week. It is displayed and set by the display unit 26 and the free parking day setting switch 27.

18 e 20 m 25 m 25 * The switch numbered 27 is a push button switch, and when you press it once, the number changes from K to 1.
When the button is pressed, the lighted display part moves by one place, and by continuing to press the button, the number increases continuously by 9, and the lighted display part moves continuously.

In this diagram, free parking hours are from 10pm to 7am the next morning.
By the time, the free parking day is indicated as Sunday. If you do not plan to park for a long time, it is not necessary to set free times or days of the week.

After making the above settings, install this parking display device in a position that can be seen from the outside of the car, for example at the rear of the windshield, set the start/stop switch 28, and confirm that the parking start time is displayed on the parking start time display tfBq. Then you will get out of the car.

This parking display device calculates a parking fee as the parking time passes and displays it on a parking fee display section 30, and also displays the amount obtained by subtracting the current parking fee from the purchased parking fee on a purchase parking fee display section 31. In this figure, the parking start time is 17:35, and the current time is 19:26, so the parking fee is 1 hour and 51 minutes. Therefore, the parking fee is 1 dollar and 60 cents, and the balance of the purchased parking fee is 98 dollars and 10 cents.

If the balance of the purchase parking fee becomes fc, a new purchase parking fee is set. For example, the user pays a fee to the authority that manages the parking space, and then uses the parking fee setting switch 52 to set the parking fee accordingly. It goes without saying that this purchase parking fee setting switch S2 must be sealed or otherwise sealed so that it cannot be easily operated.

The guard can reliably collect the parking fee by simply checking that the time is displayed on the parking start time display section 29 and the balance on the purchase parking fee display section 31.

35 is an external case, which is small and easy to operate, and it goes without saying that it is solidly made.

Furthermore, if the parking unit fee is of several types, it is of course possible to use a selection switch type, such as the time selection switch 19 for the parking unit time in this embodiment.

Further, in order to reduce the number of various operation switches, a numerical setting method using a numeric keypad used in a calculator or the like can be easily used.

Furthermore, the power source for this device is not limited to the built-in battery, but it goes without saying that it is also possible to use a car battery, a solar battery, and the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, parking violations can be checked with only a simple check, so the scope of the guard can be expanded and the number of guards can be reduced. In addition, there are remarkable effects such as the fact that parking fees can be paid 9 times without theft.
