Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the car body parking aid for this case. As shown in the figure, the vehicle body parking assisting device 1 includes a control module 10, a lifting module 11, a displacement module 12, and an optional identification module 13 and a warning module 14.

The control module 10 is disposed on the vehicle body for receiving a user command to output a stop message or a message to be removed; the lift module 11 is disposed on the vehicle body to drive the vehicle body relative to the ground. The lifting module 12 is disposed on the lifting module 11 for driving the lifting module 11 and the vehicle body to perform lateral displacement after the lifting module 11 drives the vehicle body to rise and is positioned at a predetermined height. .

In detail, when the user wants to move the vehicle body into a parking space such as a parking space, the control module 10 can first send a stop message to cause the lifting module 11 and the displacement module 12 to generate a sequence of operations. The lift module 11 first lifts the vehicle body to a predetermined height relative to the ground after receiving the stop message, and then causes the displacement module 12 to drive the lift module 11 and the The vehicle body is moved laterally into the parking position, and then the lifting module 11 will return the vehicle body to the ground.

On the other hand, when the user wants to remove the vehicle body from the parking space such as the parking space, the control module 10 can first send out a message to enable the lifting module 11 and the displacement module 12 to generate a sequence of operations, that is, After receiving the removal message, the lifting module 11 first lifts the vehicle body to a predetermined height relative to the ground, and then causes the displacement module 12 to drive the lifting module 11 and the vehicle body to move laterally out. Outside the parking position, the lifting module 11 will then return the vehicle body to the ground.

In an embodiment, the control module 10 can be provided with a touch interface (not shown) for displaying a predetermined function option for the user to select. In other words, the control module 10 can directly be based on the predetermined function option of the user. The selected command sends a stop message or removes the message, and further controls the lift module 11 and the displacement module 12 to cause the lift module 11 and the displacement module 12 to generate the aforementioned sequence of operations.

In an embodiment, the lifting module 11 can be provided with a multi-link mechanism (not shown) and a hydraulic mechanism (not shown), and the multi-link mechanism has a design sufficient to support the weight of the vehicle body, in particular When the lifting module 11 receives the stop or remove message, the hydraulic mechanism applies power to the multi-link mechanism, so that the multi-link mechanism drives the vehicle body to move up and down, and in another embodiment, The lifting module 11 drives the predetermined height raised by the vehicle body to be larger than the diameter of the wheel of the vehicle body, so as to prevent the foreign object placed at the bottom of the vehicle body from being scratched when the displacement module 12 is actuated.

In an embodiment, the lifting module 11 further includes a damper mechanism (not shown) disposed on the multi-link mechanism, and the multi-link mechanism drives the displacement module 12 to perform lifting or shifting operations. When the displacement module 12 is in contact with the ground and is affected by an external force, the displacement module 12 may be fatigue-damaged, and the damper mechanism absorbs part of the external force to reduce the vibration caused by the displacement module 12, and shakes. Or the possibility of distortion.

In an embodiment, the displacement module 12 is provided with an electric motor (not shown) and an directional wheel (not shown). When the displacement module 12 receives the stop or remove message sent by the control module 10, The electric motor then activates and drives the directional wheel, and moreover, the stop or stop message received by the displacement module 12 includes an estimated relative distance for a space such as a parking position of the parking space, and Calculating the proportional relationship with the circumference of the wheel of the directional wheel, and then converting into the number of turns required for the directional wheel, so the electric motor can drive the directional wheel according to the relative distance Move, the lateral displacement of the car body.

In an embodiment, the vehicle body parking assisting device 1 further includes an identification module 13 disposed on the vehicle body for recognizing a spatial range of the parking position corresponding to the vehicle body. After receiving the command from the user, the control module 10 can send an identification message to the identification module 13 before sending the message to or from the lifting module 11 and the displacement module 12. After receiving the identification message, the group 13 will scan the spatial range of the parking position corresponding to the vehicle body and estimate the safe distance that the vehicle body is ready to be stopped or removed, and then convert the safety distance into the directional wheel.
