Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot fee collection device for managing vehicle parking in a parking lot.

Conventional Technology Currently, there are parking meters, parking locks, and various other devices for parking fee collection or parking time regulation that exist in the market, and they require a lot of equipment on-site and are not manned or managed.
Cash collection or administrative work commensurate with cash collection is performed through unmanned management.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional parking lot equipment requires a large amount of construction costs, equipment costs, maintenance costs, etc., and since the equipment itself is stationary, parking management is fixed. It has the problem of being standardized and lacking in flexibility.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a portable parking meter that allows you to set a desired parking permit time, measures the parking permit time when parking, and displays when the remaining parking permit time has reached zero. It is paired with a parking management machine that writes and sets the parking permission time commensurate with the fee on the parking meter, and a single parking management machine can park a large number of portable, small, portable parking needles. It is marked K so that it can be managed like a vote.

Embodiments and Functions The parking lot fee collection device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, consists of a stationary parking management machine 1 and a small and portable parking ticket type parking meter 2 that can be carried freely. The parking management machine 1 is

This is a well-known circuit found in automatic ticket vending machines, automatic vending machines, etc.

As described above, the present invention consists of a parking management machine 1 and a parking meter 2 as a pair, and is used in the following manner.

The parking management machine 1 is installed at a parking lot management office, a parking lot entrance, or the like. On the other hand, the parking lot 2 is issued to parking lot users in advance or at the time of parking by lending, selling, etc., and each user has one parking lot 2.

The parking permission time is written in the following manner. Users have 20 parking tickets in their possession.
5 and insert the parking meter 2 into the connector 106 of the parking management machine 1. As a result, the parking management machine 1 and the parking meter 2 are electrically connected through the connector 106゜204, and the output terminal of the fare/parking time conversion unit 111 of the parking management machine 1 is connected to the parking meter 2's γnozodow7 counter 212. Connected to the terminal. Next, the user inserts a fee corresponding to the required parking time from the carp 7 slot 101 or the bill slot 102, and presses a predetermined price setting push button /1o3. The fee calculation unit NO outputs the determination result of how much the fee has been deposited to the fee/parking time conversion unit 111, and also issues change and a receipt. Fee·
The parking time converter 111 converts the fee into a parking time corresponding to the fee, and sends a number of clock pulses corresponding to the time to the annozo count terminal of the up/down/color/return 212 of the parking meter via the connectors 106, 204. Enter. As a result, the upgrain counters 212 to 215
counts the number of input pulses and writes the parking permit time commensurate with the fee. This written parking permission time is numerically displayed on the display 202, and the user can confirm this. Note that if there is a remaining parking permission time from the previous time in the parking total 2, the parking permission time will be added to this time. After receiving the change and receipt, the user inserts the parking meter 2 into the connector 106 of the parking management machine 1.
Pull it out from within.

This completes the writing of the parking permission time in the parking meter 2. From then on, each user will have the parking total 2 with the parking permission time written in it as described above, just like a parking ticket, and can park freely until the parking permission time reaches zero. .

Proceed to Parking Total 2 and enter the desired parking permit time above.
This section explains how to park your car using the .

After parking at the designated location in the parking lot, park the parking lot 2 inside the car.
Then, place the display 202 and the parking permit/diff 03 in a position where they can be seen from outside the vehicle (for example, on top of the tarmac), turn on the parking switch 201, and leave the vehicle. Parking permission lamp 2 is activated by turning on parking switch 2 old.
03 lights up and the parking meter displays that the parking state has decreased by 9 cents. The oscillator 2101 and the frequency divider 211 are connected to the simultaneous K, up/down/color/re 212 down 7 power und person power terminals.
A one-minute clock pulse is input through the up/down/color/receiver 212-215 to start counting the elapsed parking time and subtract it from the written parking permit time. As a result, the subtracted remaining parking permission time is displayed numerically on the display 202 every moment.

The up/down counters 212 to 215 continue to measure the elapsed parking time, and the up/down/color/re 212 to 215
When the count reaches 10'', the remaining time zero (00:00) is numerically displayed on the display 202. At the same time, the NOR circuit 218 of the determination unit 208 becomes an output ``B'' due to the establishment of the NOR condition, and the remaining parking time is displayed. It is determined that the permitted time has become zero.

This output 11' is stored in a storage circuit 219. This signal '1' is then sent to the lighting control circuit 220. By receiving the "1" signal, the lighting control circuit 220
The parking permission lamp 401 is turned off to notify that the parking permission time has expired.

Therefore, the parking lot manager can judge whether the parking is legal or illegal by checking the vehicles in the parking lot at an appropriate time and looking at the parking meter inside the vehicle. In other words, for vehicles that do not have a parking meter installed, or for vehicles that have a parking meter but do not have a parking permit lamp 203 lit, a parking violation sticker or the like is pasted on the front/windshield as a parking violation. Alternatively, measures may be taken to warn the driver.

When the parking lot user finishes his business and returns to the parking lot, he turns off the parking switch 201 of the parking meter. As a result, the basic clock/ζ pulse of the oscillator 210 is cut off,
The down counters 212 to 215 stop counting down, and the display 202 continues to display the remaining parking permission time at the time the switch is turned off. This display time is stopped and displayed as the remaining parking permission time when using the parking lot next time until the parking switch 201 is turned on again. Therefore, the parking lot user can always check how many hours and minutes of parking time remain.

Furthermore, when the remaining parking permission time runs out, the parking lot user uses the parking management device 1 to write a new desired parking permission time and reuse it as described above.

In addition, as the display 202 of the parking meter 2, in addition to the liquid crystal display, the L
ED, an electron tube can also be used.

Furthermore, although a built-in battery is generally used as a power source for a parking meter, it is also possible to use the vehicle's battery.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the detailed description above, the present invention uses a single parking management machine and a parking meter that can be issued to each user like a parking ticket, making it possible to replace the conventional parking ticket. It is possible to perform the same management as the parking management system.
In addition, it is possible to easily cope with the increase in the number of users by simply increasing the number of parking meters, so there is no need to install equipment in the parking lot that is difficult to install, such as conventional parking meters and park locks, which saves installation space. In addition to being able to be used effectively, it is also highly effective in reducing confidentiality costs, construction costs, maintenance costs, expansion costs, etc.5.
