What is the power consumption of a 4g parking lock?

As a supplier of 4G parking locks, I often receive inquiries from customers about the power consumption of these innovative devices. Understanding the power consumption of a 4G parking lock is crucial for both users and businesses, as it directly impacts the operational cost and convenience. In this blog, I will delve into the factors influencing the power consumption of a 4G parking lock and provide some insights based on our experience in the industry.

Factors Affecting Power Consumption

1. Communication Module

The 4G communication module is one of the major power - consumers in a 4G parking lock. It needs to establish and maintain a stable connection with the network to transmit data such as parking status, unlocking requests, and other relevant information. The power consumption of the 4G module varies depending on the network environment. In areas with strong signal strength, the module consumes relatively less power as it doesn't have to work hard to search for and maintain a connection. However, in areas with weak signals, the module will continuously search for a better signal, which significantly increases power consumption.

2. Motor Operation

The motor in a 4G parking lock is responsible for raising and lowering the lock. Every time the lock is opened or closed, the motor consumes a certain amount of power. The power consumption during motor operation depends on the motor's power rating and the duration of its operation. High - power motors generally consume more power, but they can also provide stronger torque, which is beneficial for quick and reliable operation of the parking lock.

3. Sensor and Control Circuit

Sensors in the parking lock, such as infrared sensors or magnetic sensors, are used to detect the presence of vehicles and ensure the proper operation of the lock. These sensors, along with the control circuit that manages the overall operation of the lock, also consume power. Although the power consumption of individual sensors and the control circuit is relatively small, they operate continuously, and over time, their cumulative power consumption can be significant.

Typical Power Consumption Values

Based on our testing and real - world usage data, the power consumption of a 4G parking lock can be divided into standby power consumption and active power consumption.

Standby Power Consumption

When the parking lock is in standby mode, that is, when it is not actively opening or closing and is only waiting for commands or monitoring the parking space, the power consumption is relatively low. On average, the standby power consumption of a 4G parking lock is around 0.5 - 1 watt. This low standby power consumption ensures that the parking lock can operate for an extended period without frequent battery replacements or recharging.

Active Power Consumption

During motor operation, the power consumption increases significantly. When the motor is working to open or close the parking lock, the power consumption can reach 10 - 20 watts, depending on the motor's power and the load it needs to handle. The duration of motor operation is usually short, typically around 5 - 10 seconds per operation.

Ways to Reduce Power Consumption

1. Optimize Network Settings

We can optimize the 4G communication settings of the parking lock to reduce power consumption. For example, we can adjust the frequency of data transmission based on the actual usage scenario. If the parking space is not frequently used, we can reduce the data transmission frequency to save power.

2. Use Energy - Efficient Motors

Selecting energy - efficient motors can significantly reduce the power consumption during motor operation. These motors are designed to provide the required torque with less power input, which not only saves energy but also extends the battery life of the parking lock.

3. Improve Sensor Efficiency

By using more advanced and energy - efficient sensors, we can reduce the power consumption of the sensor and control circuit. For example, some sensors can enter a low - power mode when not in use, which further reduces overall power consumption.
