[0009] A further technical solution includes a base and a column inserted above the base, with the socket housing fixed to the top of the column.

[0010] A further technical solution is that, along the length of the column, a through channel is provided at the center of the column, and the channel is used to install cables;

[0011] Corresponding to the channel, a notch is provided at the bottom of the socket box, and the channel connects to the interior of the socket box through the notch.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the back of the socket box is provided with a matrix of heat dissipation vents, and all the openings of the heat dissipation vents face downwards.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the lightbox enclosure includes a main body and a top cover;

[0014] The top cover is positioned above the main body of the box, and the portion of its four edges extending outwards relative to the main body of the box constitutes the second shroud.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] In this invention, the charging socket is installed at the socket mounting position. Due to the shielding and protection of the first protective edge, the charging socket is protected from rainwater intrusion. In heavy rain or extreme weather conditions such as hail, the second protective edge on the top of the light box, covering a larger area than the first, provides further shielding and protection for both the first protective edge and the charging socket. Thus, the charging socket is effectively doubly protected. The interior of the light box is equipped with an independently solar-powered light source, which provides illumination near the charging socket, facilitating charging at night. Furthermore, the independent solar power supply avoids the light source drawing power from the charging circuit, reducing the failure rate and simplifying maintenance and replacement.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] This embodiment provides a charging pile enclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a socket box 1 and a light box box 2. Details are as follows:

[0029] The front of the socket housing 1 is provided with a socket mounting position 11 for installing a charging socket, and the two sides and the top surface together extend forward to form a first cover edge 12; the first cover edge 12 is located above the socket mounting position 11 and protrudes forward relative to the socket mounting position 11.

[0030] The light box 2 is located above the socket box 1 and connected to the top surface of the socket box 1. The top of the light box 2 has a second shading edge 221 that extends forward. The shading range of the second shading edge 221 exceeds the shading range of the first shading edge 12. The interior of the light box 2 is used to house a solar-powered light source.

[0031] In this embodiment, the charging socket is installed at the socket mounting position 11. The first shielding edge 12 protects the charging socket from rainwater intrusion. In heavy rain or hail, the second shielding edge 221 on the top of the light box 2 provides further protection for the charging socket due to its larger shielding area compared to the first shielding edge 12. The light box 2 contains a solar-powered independent light source, which provides illumination near the charging socket, facilitating charging at night. Furthermore, the independent solar power supply of the light source in the light box 2 avoids drawing power from the charging circuit, reducing the failure rate and simplifying maintenance and replacement.

[0032] In this embodiment, the charging pile enclosure also includes a base 3 and a column 4 inserted into the base 3, with the socket enclosure 1 fixed to the top of the column 4. Along the length of the column 4, a through-channel is provided at the center of the column 4 for installing cables. Corresponding to the channel, a notch is provided at the bottom of the socket enclosure 1, through which the channel connects to the interior of the socket enclosure 1.

[0033] Specifically, in this example, base 3 is a square base, and column 4 is a rectangular steel tube with a hollow interior, forming the aforementioned channel. The rectangular steel tube is inserted into the center of the square base, which is then fixed to the charging area using anchor bolts or similar methods. This structure is low-cost and easy to manufacture, effectively improving installation efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the back of the socket box 1 is provided with a matrix of heat dissipation vents 13, and all the heat dissipation vents 13 have their openings facing downwards.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three rows and three columns of heat dissipation vents 13. All heat dissipation vents 13 are in the form of louvers with the opening facing downwards. This structure can prevent rainwater from entering the interior from the back of the socket box 1 and causing damage to the charging circuit.

[0036] In this embodiment, the light box housing 2 includes a housing body 21 and a top cover 22. The top cover 22 is disposed on top of the housing body 21, and the portion of its four edges extending out relative to the housing body 21 constitutes a second awning 221.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top surface of the box body 21 has a folded edge with a hole, and the bottom edge of the top cover 22 has a threaded hole. After the top cover 22 is placed on top of the box body 21, the holes and threaded holes are connected by bolts.

[0038] In this embodiment, the side wall of the main body 21 of the box has a hollow structure, which is used for the light emitted by the light source to be emitted.

[0039] Specifically, the perforated structure on the side of the main body 21 of the box is in the shape of a window pane. Furthermore, light-transmitting glass can be installed on these structures to protect the light source inside the main body 21 of the box. In this embodiment, the light source is an LED lamp.

[0040] In this embodiment, the top cover 22 has four inclined slopes 222, and photovoltaic panel mounting positions 223 are provided at the upward extension and connection points of the slopes 222. The photovoltaic panel mounting positions 223 are used to install photovoltaic panels that provide separate power to the light source.

[0041] Specifically, a hanging column for suspending LED lights is installed below the photovoltaic panel mounting position 223. The LED lights are powered by the photovoltaic panels on them, which is green and environmentally friendly, with a simple structure and easy maintenance.

[0042] Specifically, a rectangular annular protrusion 211 is provided at the bottom of the main body 21 of the box, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the rectangular annular protrusion 211 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the socket box 1 via an L-shaped corner plate 5. Furthermore, the L-shaped corner plate 5 has a first corner surface 51 and a second corner surface 52; wherein the first corner surface 51 is fixed against the upper surface of the socket box 1, and the second corner surface 52 is provided with a first connecting hole 521. Corresponding to the first connecting hole 521, the rectangular annular protrusion 211 is provided with a second connecting hole, and the first connecting hole 521 and the second connecting hole are connected by bolts.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two L-shaped corner plates 5 need to be pre-installed on the upper surface of the socket box 1, and positioned according to the distance between the inner walls of the rectangular annular protrusion 211 at the bottom of the box body 21. This allows for rapid positioning of the box body 21 during subsequent installation, saving on-site installation time and improving efficiency.
