Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of urban intelligent transportation, in particular to a charging station for an intelligent three-dimensional parking lot. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing scarcity of land resources, intelligent multi-story parking lots have gradually become a common public facility in modern cities as a solution for efficient utilization of space resources. Multi-story parking lots significantly increase parking capacity per unit area through vertical or tilted stacking, effectively alleviating the problem of insufficient ground parking space and providing great benefits for city managers and car owners.

[0003] In recent years, with the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry, an increasing number of new energy vehicles have entered the market, placing new demands on parking facilities. To adapt to this change, many existing multi-story parking lots have undergone corresponding technological innovations, introducing charging facilities that allow new energy vehicles to charge while parked, greatly improving user experience and energy efficiency. This integrated parking and charging design not only meets the instant charging needs of new energy vehicle users but also promotes their widespread adoption.

[0004] Although existing technologies have made certain progress, there are still some urgent problems to be solved in the charging services of smart multi-story parking lots. Since parking spaces in multi-story parking lots are usually designed to be movable in order to maximize space utilization, the connection between the vehicle and the charging cable becomes complicated and unstable. The traditional continuous connection charging method becomes unfeasible due to the frequent movement of parking spaces. It is not only easy to cause wear and damage to the cables, but also may cause safety hazards. In order to solve this problem, some parking lots try to automatically connect to the power supply while the vehicle is parked, but this solution faces new challenges: how to effectively distinguish new energy vehicles from traditional fuel vehicles, because the latter do not need to be charged. Frequent and invalid plugging and unplugging operations not only waste resources, but may also accelerate the aging of the interface. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example: A charging station for an intelligent parking lot, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the multi-story parking lot 1 includes a mobile rack 101, a parking space 102, a controller 103, a cable tube 2, a housing 3, a power connector 4, a power conversion box 8, a plug 9, a charging gun 10, a trigger assembly, a sealing assembly and a limit railing 16. The multi-story parking lot 1 has an excellent load-bearing structure. The multi-story parking lot 1 is provided with a mobile rack 101 for moving vehicles. A plurality of parking spaces 102 are provided in the multi-story parking lot 1. The rear end of the parking space 102 is connected to the limit railing 16. The parking space 102 is moved to a position by the mobile rack 101 of the multi-story parking lot 1. 1 is provided with a controller 103, a cable tube 2 is provided in the multi-story parking lot 1, a shell 3 is connected to the cable tube 2, a power connector 4 is slidably connected in the shell 3, a power conversion box 8 is installed at the rear end of the parking space 102, a plug 9 is provided on the rear side of the power conversion box 8, the power connector 4 and the plug 9 are plugged in and out for power supply, the power conversion box 8 is connected to a charging gun 10, a trigger component for identifying charging needs and connecting the power supply is provided between the shell 3 and the power conversion box 8, and a sealing component for sealing the shell 3 and the plug 9 is provided on the side adjacent to the shell 3 and the power conversion box 8.

[0023] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the trigger assembly includes a rack 5, a gear 6, a motor 7 and a sensor 11. The motor 7 is installed on the housing 3, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to the gear 6. The power connector 4 is connected to the rack 5, and the rack 5 is engaged with the gear 6. The sensor 11 is installed on the side adjacent to the housing 3 and the power conversion box 8, and a mobile power supply is provided in the power conversion box 8, which can power the sensor 11 installed on the power conversion box 8 and charge the mobile power supply during the vehicle charging process. The sensor 11 on the housing 3 is connected to the controller 103 by wire, and the cable connects each sensor 11 through the cable tube 2 to realize signal transmission while powering the sensor 11. The power supply path of the sensor 11 on the power conversion box 8 passes through the charging gun 10. When the charging gun 10 is pulled out, the sensor 11 on the power conversion box 8 is powered. If the charging gun 10 is located in the power conversion box 8, the circuit where the sensor 11 is located is short-circuited, that is, no current passes through the sensor 11.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly includes an electric slide rail 12 and a protective plate 13 . The electric slide rail 12 is installed on a side adjacent to the housing 3 and the power conversion box 8 , and the protective plate 13 is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 12 .

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, lighting lamps 14 are also included, and lighting lamps 14 are installed on both sides of the parking space 102.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 15 is also included, and the rear end of the movable frame 101 is connected to the baffle 15 .

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a roller 17. The cable passes through the bottom of the shell 3 and is connected to the power connector 4. The rear end of the bottom of the shell 3 is rotatably connected to the roller 17.

[0028] When a vehicle enters the intelligent parking lot 1 and selects a parking space 102, the entire charging station workflow starts immediately. First, the controller 103 receives instructions from the vehicle or driver and drives the selected parking space 102 to move smoothly to the designated position by precisely controlling the mobile frame 101. During this process, the limit railing 16 at the rear end of the parking space 102 plays a key role in positioning and fixing the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle remains stable when parked and preventing displacement due to movement or external forces.

[0029] Once the vehicle is parked, if the driver needs to charge, he needs to manually unplug the charging gun 10 on the power conversion box 8 and insert it into the charging port of the vehicle. The lighting 14 provides sufficient light for the entire charging area, ensuring that the driver can clearly see the surrounding environment when plugging and unplugging the charging gun 10 and observing the charging status, thereby improving the safety and convenience of operation. When the charging gun 10 is unplugged, the sensor 11 on the power conversion box 8 is activated. After the vehicle is in place, another sensor 11 located on the adjacent side of the housing 3 and the power conversion box 8 also detects the presence of the vehicle. The two sensors 11 jointly send a signal to the controller 103 to confirm the existence of the charging demand. After receiving the charging signal, the controller 103 first starts the electric slide 12, drives the protective plate 13 between the housing 3 and the power conversion box The cable moves along with it, and the roller 17 plays an important role in optimizing the cable movement path, reducing friction and wear, and ensuring that the cable can maintain good performance and life during long-term use. With the successful insertion of the power connector 4, the power conversion box 8 starts to provide power to the charging gun 10, and the charging gun 10 immediately starts to charge the vehicle. During this process, the controller 103 continuously monitors the charging status and battery status to ensure the safety and efficiency of the charging process.

[0030] At the same time, the protective plate 13 will close the gap between the outer shell 3 and the power conversion box 8, thereby forming a closed protective space, ensuring the safety of the power interface and plug 9 when idle, effectively blocking the influence of external factors such as dust and moisture on the connection parts, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the charging process. The baffle 15 is connected to the power conversion box 8, which not only provides additional stability for the power conversion box 8, but also effectively prevents items on the parking space 102 from falling to the back during the movement, protecting the cleanliness and safety of the charging equipment and the surrounding environment. When the driver picks up the car through the controller 103, the controller 103 moves the power connector 4 through the motor 7, gear 6 and rack 5, so that the power connector 4 and the plug 9 are disengaged, and the electric slide 12 is started. The outer shell 3 and the power conversion box 8 are re-closed through the protective plate 13, and the mobile frame 101 moves the parking space 102. After the vehicle falls, the driver pulls out the charging gun 10, inserts it into the power converter, and drives away from the multi-story parking lot 1.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure that various changes or modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to illustrate rather than limit the present invention, which shall be defined by the claims.
