Abstract

A vehicle detection device with thief-proof features includes a detector configured to detect a car above and a case configured to receive the detector. The detector is provided with a plurality of latches, and the case defines a plurality of channels. Each channel includes an embedded path and an encoding path adjacent to the embedded path. The embedded path guides one of the plurality of latches of the detector inserted into one of the plurality of channels, and the encoding path guides the latch to move through the channel to slidably install the detector into the case.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle detection device, comprising:
a detector configured to detect parking information, comprising a plurality of latches; and
a case configured to receive the detector comprising a plurality channels;
wherein each channel comprises an embedded path and an encoding path adjacent to the embedded path, the embedded path guides one of the plurality of latches of the detector inserted into one of the plurality of channels, and the encoding path guides the latch to move through the channel to slidably install the detector into the case;
wherein the top end of the detector is provided with a pressing plate and a cover secured on the pressing plate, when the vehicle passes, the pressing plate and the cover is pressed to move downwardly and abutted against the case;
wherein the pressing plate defines a plurality of through holes corresponding to the latches, a clamp is configured to pass through the through hole to move the latch along the channel.

2. The vehicle detection device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded path of the channel further comprises one end adjacent to the encoding path, wherein the latch is configured to be inserted into or removed from the channel through the one end of the embedded path.

3. The vehicle detection device of claim 2 , wherein the channel further comprises an action path, and one end of the action path is adjacent to the encoding path, the action path is provided with a motion space in the direction of movement of the detector during movement.

4. The vehicle detection device of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle detection device further comprises a resilient member, both ends of the resilient member are respectively abutted against the case and the bottom end of the detector to elastically support the detector.

5. The vehicle detection device of claim 4 , wherein the case comprises a base, and the detector comprises a bottom wall, both ends of the resilient member are respectively abutted against the base and the bottom wall.

6. The vehicle detection device of claim 5 , wherein the case comprises a loop wall surrounding the edge of the base, and the loop wall comprises a receiving portion, the channel is defined on the receiving portion.

7. The vehicle detection device of claim 6 , wherein the loop wall further comprises an expansion portion and a connecting plate connected with the top end of the receiving portion, and the expansion portion is connected with the receiving portion via the connecting plate.

8. The vehicle detection device of claim 7 , wherein one end of the channel is located at the edge of the top end of the receiving portion and cut-through the connecting plate.

9. The vehicle detection device of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle detection device further comprises a resilient module, the resilient module comprises two magnetic blocks respectively abutted against the case and the detector, and a connecting member connected between the two magnetic blocks, two magnetic blocks are mutually repelled and the connecting member is elastically deformed so as to elastically support the detector.
