Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile technology, and more specifically to a charging pile protection device. Background Technology

[0002] As a common means of transportation, automobiles have become an integral part of people's daily lives with the improvement of living standards. Simultaneously, with technological advancements, the variety of automobiles has continuously increased, among which new energy vehicles are more environmentally friendly and have become increasingly common in recent years. New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as a power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Electric vehicles, which use electricity as their power source, are widely used because electricity is a renewable and clean energy source. Charging piles are an important piece of equipment for electric vehicles, referring to charging equipment that provides charging services for electric vehicles. They are mainly divided into ground-mounted charging piles and wall-mounted charging piles.

[0003] Current technology has shortcomings: For convenient use, charging stations need to be installed in open outdoor areas. However, the outdoor environment is complex, and charging stations are easily damaged by sunlight and rain. In particular, the exposed charging plug at the end of the charging cable is easily corroded and damaged by rainwater. At the same time, in order to facilitate use and increase the range of use of charging stations, the long charging cable is easily damaged by dragging on the ground during use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a charging pile protection device to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a charging pile protection device, comprising a charging pile body, and further comprising: a cable winding mechanism, an anti-collision mechanism, and a lighting mechanism. The side of the charging pile body is movably connected to the side of the cable winding mechanism, the bottom end of the anti-collision mechanism is fixedly connected to the side of the charging pile body, and the side of the lighting mechanism is fixedly connected to the side of the charging pile body. The charging pile body includes a housing, an operation screen is fixedly connected to the front of the housing, a charging cable is fixedly connected to the side of the housing, a storage box is fixedly connected to the side of the housing, and a sealing door is movably connected to the front of the storage box. The cable winding mechanism includes a reel, the side of the reel is movably sleeved with the side of the housing, a transmission rod is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the side of the reel, a driven gear is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod, a motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the housing, a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, the side of the drive gear meshes with the side of the driven gear, the charging cable is wound around the side of the reel, and a storage rack is fixedly connected to the side of the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, a first buffer spring is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod, and one end of the first buffer spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the winding reel.

[0007] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the reel, and a first touch switch is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod. By pulling the charging cable, the reel rotates along the transmission rod, causing the baffle to contact the first touch switch. This causes the first touch switch to control the motor to run for a period of time to release the charging cable, keeping it at a suitable length. When the charging cable is stopped being pulled, the first buffer spring deforms and resets, separating the first touch switch from the baffle and automatically releasing the charging cable, reducing manual operation.

[0008] Furthermore, the lighting mechanism includes a mounting block, the side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the placement box, a supplementary light is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the placement box, a mounting groove is provided at the top of the mounting block, a return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove, and a second touch switch is fixedly connected to the top of the return spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the second touch switch is fixedly connected to a monitoring terminal via a wireless network.

[0010] Furthermore, a canopy is fixedly connected to the top of the casing, and both the canopy and the top of the placement box have a tower-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-collision mechanism includes a protective plate, a second buffer spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective plate, the bottom end of the second buffer spring is fixedly connected to the side of the housing, a third touch switch is fixedly connected to the side of the housing corresponding to the position of the protective plate, and an alarm device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, an indicator light is fixedly connected to the side of the charging cable.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. This invention utilizes a motor to drive a drive gear, which in turn drives a transmission rod to rotate. This allows the charging cable to be wound onto the surface of a reel for storage. Simultaneously, the charging plug at the end of the cable is placed on a shelf, and the sealing door is closed to protect the charging cable and plug. During charging, the motor is started in reverse to release the charging cable from the reel to a suitable length for use. This helps to avoid damage to the charging cable and extend its service life.

[0015] 2. This invention employs a torsion spring as a first buffer spring, with one end of the first buffer spring fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod and the other end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the winding reel. During use, the transmission rod drives the winding reel to rotate via the first buffer spring. When the charging cable is pulled, the first buffer spring deforms, causing the winding reel to rotate along the surface of the transmission rod, thereby achieving a buffering effect and preventing damage caused by sudden dragging of the charging cable, thus helping to avoid damage to the charging cable.

[0016] 3. In this invention, when the sealed door is opened, the second touch switch separates from the back of the sealed door, thereby allowing the second touch switch to control the auxiliary light to turn on and illuminate the interior of the placement box, ensuring good visibility for the operator in dim environments and facilitating operation. When the sealed door is closed, the reset spring pushes the second touch switch to contact the back of the sealed door to control the auxiliary light to turn off, which is beneficial for convenient operation of the charging pile.

[0017] 4. In this invention, the protective plate makes contact with the colliding object first, and the second buffer spring deforms and contracts to absorb the impact force on the protective plate, reducing the impact of the collision on the normal operation of the charging pile body and preventing damage. At the same time, the bottom end of the protective plate contacts the third touch switch, which causes the third touch switch to activate the alarm device inside the housing, alerting nearby personnel to the collision and allowing them to avoid it, thus preventing further damage and extending the service life of the charging pile.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The charging pile protection device involved in the present invention is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 7This invention provides a charging pile protection device, including a charging pile body 1, and further including: a cable winding mechanism 2, an anti-collision mechanism 3, and a lighting mechanism 4. The side of the charging pile body 1 is movably connected to the side of the cable winding mechanism 2, the bottom end of the anti-collision mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the charging pile body 1, and the side of the lighting mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the charging pile body 1. The charging pile body 1 includes a housing 101, an operation screen 107 is fixedly connected to the front of the housing 101, a charging cable 106 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 101, a storage box 103 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 101, and a sealing door 104 is movably connected to the front of the storage box 103. The cable winding mechanism 2 includes a cable reel 201, the side of the cable reel 201 is movably sleeved with the side of the housing 101, and a transmission rod 204 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the side of the cable reel 201. The side of the transmission rod 204 is fixedly... A driven gear 205 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 101, and a motor 203 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 101. The output shaft of the motor 203 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 202. The side of the driving gear 202 meshes with the side of the driven gear 205. The charging cable 106 is wound around the side of the winding reel 201. A storage rack 105 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 101. When the charging station is not in use, the motor 203 drives the driving gear 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 205 to rotate the transmission rod 204, thereby winding the charging cable 106 around the surface of the winding reel 201 for storage. At the same time, the charging plug at the end of the charging cable 106 is placed on the storage rack 105, and the sealing door 104 is closed to protect the charging cable and plug. When charging, the motor 203 is started in reverse to release the charging cable 106 on the winding reel 201 to a suitable length for use.

[0028] A first buffer spring 206 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod 204. One end of the first buffer spring 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the winding reel 201. The first buffer spring 206 is a torsion spring. When the transmission rod 204 drives the winding reel 201 to rotate through the first buffer spring 206, the first buffer spring 206 deforms when the charging cable 106 is pulled, causing the winding reel 201 to rotate along the surface of the transmission rod 204, thereby achieving a buffering effect and preventing damage caused by sudden dragging of the charging cable 106.

[0029] A baffle 208 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the reel 201, and a first touch switch 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod 204. When charging, the charging cable 106 is dragged to make the reel 201 rotate along the transmission rod 204, so that the baffle 208 contacts the first touch switch 207, thereby causing the first touch switch 207 to control the motor 203 to run for a period of time to release the charging cable 106.

[0030] The lighting mechanism 4 includes a mounting block 402, the side of which is fixedly connected to the side of the placement box 103. A supplementary light 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the placement box 103. A mounting groove 404 is provided at the top of the mounting block 402. A return spring 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 404. A second touch switch 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the return spring 403. When the sealed door 104 is opened, the second touch switch 405 separates from the back of the sealed door 104, thereby controlling the supplementary light 401 to turn on and illuminate the interior of the placement box 103, ensuring good visibility for the operator in a dim environment and facilitating operation. When the sealed door 104 is closed, the return spring 403 pushes the second touch switch 405 to contact the back of the sealed door 104 to control the supplementary light 401 to turn off.

[0031] The second touch switch 405 is fixedly connected to a monitoring terminal via a wireless network. When the sealed door 104 is opened, the second touch switch 405 sends a signal to the monitoring terminal to remind the staff that someone has opened the sealed door 104, and to remind the staff whether someone is using the charging pile for charging, rather than accidentally opening the sealed door 104 and exposing the charging cable 106 and the charging plug to the air.

[0032] The top of the housing 101 is fixedly connected to a canopy 102. Both the top of the canopy 102 and the top of the placement box 103 are tower-shaped structures. The tower-shaped canopy 102 and the placement box 103 prevent rainwater and debris from falling on the top of the equipment and protect the housing 101, reducing the impact of rainwater and sunlight on the charging pile.

[0033] The anti-collision mechanism 3 includes a protective plate 301. A second buffer spring 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective plate 301. The bottom end of the second buffer spring 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 101. A third touch switch 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 101 corresponding to the position of the protective plate 301. An alarm device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 101. When the charging pile collides with other objects, it contacts the protective plate 301 first. The second buffer spring 302 deforms and contracts to absorb the impact force on the protective plate 301, reducing the impact force caused by the collision on the normal operation of the charging pile body 1 and avoiding damage. At the same time, the bottom end of the protective plate 301 contacts the third touch switch 303, causing the third touch switch 303 to control the alarm device inside the housing 101 to sound, reminding nearby personnel that a collision has occurred so that they can avoid it and prevent further damage.

[0034] The charging cable 106 is fixedly connected to an indicator light 108 on its side. The indicator light 108 on the surface of the charging cable 106 emits a warning light during the charging process, so that pedestrians can determine the position of the charging cable 106 and avoid pedestrians tripping over the charging cable 106 in dim environments.

[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When charging is required using a charging station, the sealed door 104 is opened, and the second touch switch 405 separates from the back of the sealed door 104. This causes the second touch switch 405 to control the auxiliary light 401 to turn on and illuminate the interior of the placement box 103. At the same time, the second touch switch 405 sends a signal to the monitoring terminal to remind the staff that someone has opened the sealed door 104 and whether someone is using the charging station. The charging cable 106 is then removed from the placement rack 105. Pulling the charging cable 106 causes the reel 201 to rotate along the transmission rod 204, thereby causing the baffle 208 to contact the first touch switch 207. This causes the first touch switch 207 to control the motor 203 to run for a period of time to release the charging cable 106, keeping the charging cable 106 at a suitable length. When the dragging of the charging cable 106 stops, the first buffer spring 206 deforms and resets, causing the first touch switch 207 to separate from the baffle 208, and the motor 203 to stop. The plug at the end of the charging cable 106 is then inserted into the electric vehicle. The charging station is charged internally and controlled via the operation screen 107. Indicator lights 108 on the surface of the charging cable 106 illuminate during charging. After charging is complete, the reverse-start motor 203 rewinds the charging cable 106 onto the reel 201, and the plug at the top of the charging cable 106 is placed on the rack 105. The sealing door 104 is closed, and the return spring 403 pushes the second touch switch 405 to contact the back of the sealing door 104, controlling the auxiliary light 401 to turn off. The sealing door 104 protects the charging cable 106. When the charging station collides with other objects, it contacts the protective plate 301 first. The second buffer spring 302 deforms and contracts to absorb the impact force on the protective plate 301, reducing the impact of the collision on the charging station body 1 and preventing damage. Simultaneously, the bottom of the protective plate 301 contacts the third touch switch 303, causing the third touch switch 303 to activate the alarm device inside the casing 101, alerting nearby personnel to the collision and allowing them to avoid further damage.
