Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging station technology, specifically a public electric bicycle charging station. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric bicycles, the demand for public charging facilities is growing. However, the outdoor environment places high demands on the materials used in charging stations, but some existing stations lack rust and corrosion prevention measures in their main structures. Long-term exposure to wind and rain can easily lead to steel frame corrosion and component aging, increasing maintenance frequency and costs. Therefore, some new types of charging station structures have emerged.

[0003] For example, utility model patent CN213418269U discloses a folding canopy for a public charging station, including a charging pile and a parking space. Support frames are provided on both sides of the rear end of the parking space. A folding component is movably installed on the top of the support frame. The folding component includes a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod away from the support frame is rotatably connected to one end of a rain cover. The other end of the rain cover is installed on the top of the support frame. Motors are installed on the top of both sides of the support frame. A water collection trough is provided at the rear end of the support frame. The bottom of the water collection trough is connected to a water storage tank. A water pump is installed on one side of the bottom of the water storage tank. The output port of the water pump is connected to a water pipe. The other end of the water pipe is connected to a water gun. A water pipe box is installed on one side of the support frame. A drain cover is embedded between the top of the water storage tank and the parking space.

[0004] The aforementioned patent provides a folding rain shelter for public charging stations that can automatically fold the tarpaulin to protect the charging station during rain and provide shelter for electric bicycles. It also collects rainwater for operators to clean the bicycles. However, the charging ports in these stations are mostly arranged in a straight line, failing to adequately consider the actual parking needs of electric bicycles. When multiple electric bicycles are charging side-by-side, blind spots on both sides can make it difficult for vehicles to enter or exit, especially when charging cables are of limited length. Users need to repeatedly adjust their parking positions, which is cumbersome and poses a risk of collision. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a public electric bicycle charging station, aiming to improve the existing charging station layout, which is mostly arranged in a straight line and does not fully consider the actual needs of electric bicycle parking. When multiple electric bicycles are charging side by side, vehicles on both sides are prone to difficulties in entering and exiting due to parking dead angles. Especially when the charging cable length is limited, users are likely to have to repeatedly adjust their parking spaces, which is cumbersome and poses a risk of collision.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A public electric bicycle charging station includes a support post with a canopy at its top. The canopy has an umbrella-shaped structure and is connected to the support post by a support frame. The bottom of the support post has a circular base with multiple partitions evenly distributed on the circular base. The side of the support post has a main facade that covers the support post, and each side of the main facade has an operation screen at its top. A circular charging box is located below the operation screen on the main facade, and multiple charging sockets are provided on the side of the circular charging box.

[0008] Furthermore, the pillar, circular base, and support frame are made of high-strength steel, and the surfaces of the pillar, circular base, and support frame are treated with rust prevention.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner cavity at the bottom of the side of the canopy is provided with an LED light strip, and the top of the canopy is provided with a top pressure joint, which is connected to the support column to press the middle part of the canopy tightly against the top of the support column.

[0010] Furthermore, the main facade has an advertising space above the operation screen, and the main facade is equipped with a detachable decorative panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the canopy is made of polycarbonate translucent panels, and the decorative panels are made of environmentally friendly ABS composite material.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned advertising spaces is equipped with a lighting fixture, and the operation screen is detachably connected to the main facade.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the partition is provided with a perforation for locking the electric bicycle with a vehicle lock, and a sensing area is provided between two adjacent partitions for sensing whether an electric bicycle is parked at the parking location.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the charging sockets on the side of the circular charging box is provided with a protective cover, which is hinged to the charging socket.

[0015] Furthermore, the operation screen integrates a microprocessor, which is connected to a lighting control module, a photosensor, a communication module, a power supply module, and a sensor linkage module. The lighting control module, in conjunction with the photosensor, controls the lighting of the entire charging station. The communication module is used for data transmission between the operation screen and external terminals. The power supply module is used to distribute power to supply power to all components of the charging station. The sensor linkage module is connected to the sensing area, and when an electric bicycle is detected parked in the parking area, the operation screen can easily display the corresponding charging QR code.

[0016] Furthermore, the communication module adopts NB-IoT technology to realize real-time data interaction between the operation screen and the cloud server, and the cloud server and the mobile terminal are connected wirelessly.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This utility model effectively protects the charging socket by setting up a canopy, which can prevent water from entering the charging socket; at the same time, the side of the circular charging box is divided into sections for the charging socket, and the upper surface of the circular base is divided into parking areas by partitions, optimizing the parking space, avoiding dead corners, and also facilitating the parking and pushing of electric vehicles, and preventing other adjacent vehicles from affecting the pushing of electric bicycles.

[0019] 2. This utility model sets up a sensing zone in each electric vehicle parking area. After the sensing zone detects that an electric vehicle is parked, it sends a signal back to the operation screen. The operation screen can display the QR code for charging in the corresponding area, making it convenient for people to scan the code to charge.

[0020] 3. This utility model provides convenient charging operation at night by installing LED light strips on the side of the ceiling and lighting above the operation screen. Attached Figure Description
