    DESCRIPTION
    Device indicating the occupation status of a parking space

    Technical sector of the invention 5

    The device indicating the occupancy status of a parking space of the present invention allows drivers who are looking for a parking space for their vehicle to indicate the occupancy status of each of the parking spaces. 10

    Background of the invention

    Devices indicating the occupancy status of a parking space are known that allow drivers who are looking for a parking space 15 for their vehicle in a parking lot to be informed of the occupancy status of each of the parking spaces, for example, by red or green lights depending on whether the square is occupied or free.

    However, the known devices are simply limited to informing drivers 20 of the state of occupancy of the seats, without offering any additional assistance for parking the vehicle or favoring an environment conducive to the maneuverability of the vehicle when entering and leaving the square. Parking

    It is therefore an objective of the present invention to disclose a device indicating the status of occupation of a parking space that also facilitates the driver's maneuvers to enter and exit the parking space.

    Explanation of the invention.
     30
    The device indicating the occupation status of a parking space of the present invention is one that includes means for detecting the occupation of the parking space and means for signaling the occupation status of the parking space.
    In essence, the device is characterized in that it further comprises lighting means of the parking space, the detection means, the signaling means and the lighting means being arranged in the same housing, so that these signaling and signaling means lighting are integrated in the same housing, obtaining a compact module of easy installation that in addition to allowing to detect and signal the occupation of the parking space, allows to illuminate said parking space, for example, when it is occupied, so that a The driver can maneuver to enter and exit the parking space comfortably with his vehicle even when the parking lot is dark. It is also envisaged that the lighting of the parking space can be carried out in a different way, for example, in a constant manner, or 10 as it has been set in the device.

    It is also known that the device comprises programmable control means, integrated in the device, to control the operation of the lighting means as previously indicated. Preferably, these control means will be connected to a communication network, so that they can transmit the occupation status of the parking space to a central server and can receive instructions for the operation of the lighting means. It is also provided that the control means can be programmed during the use of the device to modify its operation, for example to regulate the lighting of the lighting means depending on the occupation of the parking floor or a schedule, which will be indicated by the central server.

    It is also known that the control means are adapted to activate the lighting means when the detection means detect an occupation of the parking space, thus allowing the driver of the vehicle to be illuminated while parking, even when the parking lot is at dark In addition, advantageously the lighting of the parking space during this time allows the driver, when wanting to close the vehicle, to clearly see the vehicle lock.
     30
    It is also known that the control means comprise a timer adapted to activate the lighting means for a predetermined time when the detection means detect an occupation of the parking space. In this way, it is achieved that the lighting means only illuminate the parking space long enough for the driver to park and leave the vehicle, without the 35
    lighting means must be constantly activated.

    It is also known that the lighting means generate a luminous flux greater than 400 lumens, preferably 450 lumens, which allows to offer a sufficient level of illumination to access the vehicle in comfort, in addition to allowing the driver to help 5 if keys or other objects fall to the floor.

    It is also known that the means of lighting means generate a light beam whose luminous flux is higher in its periphery than in its axis, allowing the illuminance to be distributed over the parking space, so that the peripheral zone 10 of the parking space, which is where the user will move to enter and exit the vehicle.

    It is also known that the means of lighting means generate a symmetrical light beam, allowing both side peripheral areas of the parking space to be illuminated equally.

    It is also known that the means of lighting means generate a light beam with an opening angle of between 85 and 95 degrees, preferably 90 degrees, which allow the device to be placed at a sufficient distance from the parking space so that the lighting of the parking space is correct and also allows other users to see the means of signaling the status of occupation of the parking space.

    It is also known that the device determines a support plane for its placement and attachment to a car roof and the lighting means generate a light beam 25 whose axis forms an angle between 25 and 35 degrees, preferably 30 degrees, with the normal one to said support plane, that is, with the vertical once installed, allowing the light beam to be oriented towards the parking space from a distance to the parking space from which the rest of the users are allowed to see the means of signaling of the occupation status of the parking space. 30

    It is known that the detection means and the lighting means are arranged at the same end of the housing, thus allowing both the detection signal of the detection means and the lighting cone of the lighting means to be directed to the parking space, while the signaling means, arranged 35
    At the other end of the accommodation they can be visualized by vehicle drivers looking for free parking spaces. In this way the device can be advantageously installed between the parking space and a parking aisle without additional elements being necessary.
     5
    It is also known that the lighting means have a power of at least 2W, preferably a power of 3W, thus achieving sufficient parking space lighting.

    It is also known that the lighting means are formed by at least one white LED light source, allowing low consumption to achieve the necessary light intensity, while having a long duration, thus avoiding having to replace the means. of illumination during the life of the device.

    It is also known that the detection means comprise a distance sensor 15 by ultrasound, so that the lighting means does not interfere with the detection means. Preferably, the detection means will be formed by two ultrasound distance sensors, thus allowing to ensure detection

    It is also known that the signaling means comprise an RGB LED, that is, a polychromatic LED that allows its activation in different colors to indicate, for example, that the square is empty by activating with green color or that the square is occupied activating with red color.

    Detailed description of the drawings 5

    Fig. 1 presents a schematic view of the device 1 indicating the occupancy status of a parking space 2 of the present invention. As can be seen, the device 1 comprises means 3 for detecting the occupation of the parking space 2, formed by at least one distance sensor 10 by ultrasound. 10 Preferably, the detection means 3 will be formed by two distance sensors 10, which would be superimposed on the device 1 of Fig. 1, which allow detecting the distance at which a target is found by emitting a signal from ultrasound and echo detection bounced on the target in a known way. By means of this known technique, the detection means 3 allow to determine the distance at which the target is 15. If this distance is less than the ground distance, which will have been previously calibrated, it will mean that the parking space is occupied. Naturally, it is also provided that the detection means 3 of the occupation of the parking space 2 may be of another type, such as optical sensors.
     twenty
    The device 1 is also provided with signaling means 4 of the state of occupation of the parking space 2 arranged in the same housing 5 as the detection means 3. This housing 5 can be for example a sealed box, so that the device 1 is a compact and easily installable module, for example, on the roof of a car park adjacent to a parking space 2, both in metal channel 25 and in tube. The signaling means 4 can be for example an RGB LED, which allows its illumination in red or green, which, depending on its color, allows the drivers to be indicated that the square is free or occupied.

    The device further comprises lighting means 6 arranged in the housing 5, such as a white light LED source of at least 2W and preferably 3W, which allows the correct illumination of parking space 2, generating a luminous flux greater than 400 lumens, for example 450 lumens, which will allow lighting between 20 and 22 luxes in parking space 2.
     35
    The device 1 is furthermore provided with programmable control means 7 which are also integrated in the housing 5 connected to the detection means 3 and the signaling means 4, so that depending on the distance obtained by the detection means 3 the control means 7 can establish the color of the signaling means 4 to reflect the occupation status of the parking space 2 and thus 5 a driver can determine at a distance the occupation status of the parking space 2. In addition, the control means 7 are in turn connected to the lighting means 6, so that they can also control the activation of the lighting means 6 to illuminate the parking space 2 as established. For example, control means 7 can be programmed to activate the lighting means 10 when the detection means 3 detect an occupation of the parking space 2. In this way, in a parking lot provided with devices 1 installed in Each parking space 2, the number of illuminated parking spaces 2 will indicate the number of occupied spaces, so the overall level of parking lighting will be proportional to its occupation. Naturally, the control means 7 15 can in turn be provided with a timer 9 adapted to activate the lighting means 6 only for a predetermined time, or which can be programmed, when the detection means 3 detect an occupation of the square of parking 2. Although in Fig. 1 direct connections between the control means 7 and the different components have been indicated, it is also provided that the control means 7 may be connected to controllers of each of the components. It is also provided that the device 1 is provided with an electrical power source, such as a 48V direct current source.

    The operating logic of the control means 7 can be programmed both before installing the device 1 and once installed, for example, by means of a communication network 8 which they are connected to. In this way, not only the control means 7 can receive programming instructions in relation to how the lighting means 6 should be operated, but also the control means 7 can inform the occupation status of the parking space 2 a a central server This communication network 8 can be for example a network of type RS485 of known type. For example, by means of said communication network 8 it can be established that the lighting means 6 of all the devices 1 connected to the communication network 8 are activated, if an additional level of parking lighting is necessary. Naturally, it is also provided that the light intensity of the lighting means 6 can be adjusted by
    programming in the control means 7.

    As can also be seen in Fig. 1, the device 1 determines a support plane 14 for placement on the roof of the car park, both the detection means 3 and the lighting means 6 being directed towards the parking space , 5 as will be seen below, so that the lighting means 6 generate a light beam 17 whose axis forms an angle between 25 and 35 degrees, preferably 30 degrees, with the normal 15 to said support plane 14, is say, with the vertical once installed. It is further noted that the opening angle α of said lighting means 6 in the XY plane will be approximately between 85 and 95 degrees, preferably 90 10 degrees.

    Fig. 2 shows a diagram of the distribution of the light flux in the light beam generated in the transverse plane in the direction of the axis of the light beam, that is, the YZ plane, in which it can be seen that the light beam 17 generated by the lighting means 6 is 15 symmetrical in this plane and is not uniformly distributed, but the luminous flux at the periphery of its axis 16, that is, in the area away from the center, will be greater in the direction of the axis 16, thus allowing the peripheral area of the parking space to be illuminated more intensely. It is envisioned that the light beam 17 also has these same characteristics in the XY plane. This distribution of the light beam 17 can be achieved both by conveniently arranging a plurality of power supplies and by suitable optics. The opening angle α of the lighting means 6 in the YZ plane will also be between 85 and 95 degrees, preferably 90 degrees.

    As previously seen in Fig. 1, the detection means 3 and the lighting means 6 are arranged at the same end of the housing 5, while the signaling means 4 are arranged at the opposite end of the housing 5. In this way, as can be seen in Fig. 3, the device 1 can be installed adjacent to a parking space, so that on the one hand the drivers approaching with their vehicle to the parking space 2 through a central corridor 11 of the parking lot 30 they can see the signaling means 4 of the device 1 without obstructing their vision the columns 12 of the parking lot. Advantageously, being the detection means 3 at the other end of the housing 5, these are closer to the parking space 2, so that they can give a more truthful reading of their occupation status, without users traveling the corridor central 11 can falsify the media reading of 35
    detection 3. In turn, the lighting means 6 are arranged at this other end, which is closer to the parking space 2, allowing the light beam 17 to be directed more directly.

    Fig. 3 shows the device 1 installed in a parking lot to indicate if a parking space 2 is free or occupied. As can be seen, in the situation presented in Fig. 3 in which the parking space 2 is free, it is observed that the detection means 3 of the device 1 will indicate that the parking space 2 is free, so that signaling means 4 will inform drivers of this situation, for example, by means of a green color. Thus, in a parking lot that is provided with multiple parking spaces 10 a device 1 will be installed adjacent to each parking space 2 to indicate the occupation status of that parking space 2.

    By occupying a vehicle the parking space 2, for example, in the manner illustrated in Fig. 4, the detection means 3 will determine that a target exists before the ground, foreseeably a vehicle. Naturally, it is envisaged that the control means 7 be prepared to avoid false positives of occupation in a known manner, such as waiting for the distance to be maintained long enough to verify the occupation of the parking space 2. By detecting the occupation of the parking space 2, it will be indicated on the signaling means 4, for example, by a red color, that the parking space 20 2 is occupied by a vehicle 13 and the lighting means 6 will be activated, so that they emit a beam luminous 17 so that the driver can maneuver and park comfortably in the parking space 2, being able to see the parking space 2 illuminated. The lighting of the parking space 2 can be maintained for a predetermined time as described above, until The parking space 2 is free, or in other ways as programmed by device 1.
