Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle charging technology, and more particularly to a parking space for charging vehicles using a charging station. Background Technology

[0002] Existing parking spaces for vehicle charging consist of several adjacent spaces arranged in a row, with charging stations located behind each space. In practice, to save costs, a charging station is installed every few spaces, with the station located directly behind one of the spaces, allowing several spaces to share a single charging station.

[0003] Existing charging stations consist of a station body and a charging gun, connected by a power cable. When the charging station is in standby mode, the power cable is coiled and hung on one side of the station body, with the charging gun also hanging on the other side. In practice, when charging a vehicle in a parking space diagonally in front of the charging station, the charging gun is removed from the station body and then inserted into the side of the vehicle. At this point, the power cable is likely to drag on the ground in the parking space directly in front of the charging station. Drivers need to tidy up the power cable on the ground, specifically, moving it as close as possible to the vehicle being charged. If the driver forgets to tidy the power cable, it may be run over by the wheels of vehicles parked directly in front of the charging station. After charging is complete, the charging gun can only be reattached to the station body after the parking space in front of the charging station has been cleared. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the drawback of existing charging stations where the charging cables are easily blocked by vehicles directly in front of the charging station when charging a vehicle in a parking space diagonally in front of it, this invention proposes a parking space for charging stations where the charging cables are less likely to be blocked by vehicles directly in front of the charging station.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A parking space for charging vehicles using a charging pile includes a charging cable. The parking space includes a group of parking spaces, with a central parking space and side parking spaces on either side of the central parking space. The charging pile is located directly behind the central parking space. The parking space also includes a barrier arm located at the rear of the central parking space to block the vehicle's wheels from hitting the charging pile, and a rotating mechanism for driving the barrier arm to rotate around its axis. A auger plate is fixedly connected to the barrier arm to support the charging cable and, when rotated, can drive the cable toward the vehicle charging. The parking space also includes a detection mechanism. When the detection mechanism detects a vehicle charging in a side parking space, the rotating mechanism drives the barrier arm to rotate. When the charging cable is on the auger plate, the rotating auger plate brings the cable closer to the vehicle charging, preventing the cable from being crushed by a vehicle entering the central parking space.

[0007] With the above setup, after the driver drives the vehicle into the side parking space and connects the charging pile to the vehicle, the detection mechanism detects that a vehicle is charging in the side parking space. The rotating mechanism drives the barrier lever and the auger plate to rotate. When the driver forgets to tidy up the cable and leaves it dragging on the ground in the middle parking space, the cable is supported by the auger plate. Under the action of the rotating auger plate, the cable moves towards the vehicle that is charging, that is, the cable moves to the outside of the middle parking space, thereby preventing the vehicle that drives into the middle parking space from running over the cable.

[0008] Furthermore, the charging pile also includes a pile body fixedly connected to the ground. When the charging pile is in standby mode, the power cord is located on the side of the pile body facing the middle parking space. The side parking space on one side of the middle parking space is the first side parking space, and the side parking space on the other side of the middle parking space is the second side parking space. A auger plate for supporting the power cord extending to the first side parking space is fixedly connected between the end of the parking barrier near the first side parking space and the middle of the parking barrier. Another auger plate for supporting the power cord extending to the second side parking space is fixedly connected between the end of the parking barrier near the second side parking space and the middle of the parking barrier. The auger plates at both ends of the parking barrier have opposite spiral directions. When there is a power cord on the upper side of the end of the parking barrier near the first side parking space, the power cord can move towards the first side parking space and towards the pile body under the action of the rotating auger plate. When there is a power cord on the upper side of the end of the parking barrier near the second side parking space, the power cord can move towards the second side parking space and towards the pile body under the action of the corresponding auger plate.

[0009] With the above setup, when the power cord is located on the side of the parking space facing the middle parking space, it can easily extend to the first parking space, the middle parking space, and the second parking space. When the power cord extends to the first parking space to charge the vehicle there, the power cord located in the middle parking space can easily rest on the end of the barrier near the first parking space. When the rotating mechanism drives the barrier to rotate, the power cord, under the action of the rotating auger plate, moves towards the charging vehicle and towards the parking space simultaneously. Specifically, when the power cord moves towards the charging vehicle, it also moves outward from the middle parking space; when it moves towards the parking space, it shortens the length of the power cord between the vehicle and the barrier, thus preventing the vehicle from running over the power cord when entering the middle parking space. Similarly, when a vehicle is charging in the second parking space, the power cord located in the middle parking space can easily rest on the end of the barrier near the second parking space. The rotating auger plate allows the power cord on the auger plate to move towards the charging vehicle and towards the parking space simultaneously, thus preventing the vehicle from running over the power cord when entering the middle parking space.

[0010] Furthermore, the middle parking space is fixedly connected to two brackets at both ends of the parking barrier. The upper end of the bracket is fixedly connected to a support shaft coaxial with the parking barrier. Both ends of the parking barrier are provided with a first rotating groove adapted to the support shaft. The support shaft is set in the first rotating groove so that the parking barrier can rotate stably around the axis of the support shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a second rotating groove is provided inside the support shaft, and a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the stop bar is provided inside the second rotating groove. A driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating mechanism includes a motor provided inside the bracket and a drive bevel gear connected to the motor. The drive bevel gear and the driven bevel gear mesh.

[0012] With the above setup, the motor drives the stop lever to rotate via the drive bevel gear, the driven bevel gear, and the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a radar is installed on the side of the charging pile closest to the middle parking space to determine whether there is a vehicle in the middle parking space; when the radar determines that there is a vehicle in the middle parking space, the rotating mechanism stops operating while the charging pile is charging the vehicle in the side parking space.

[0014] With the above setup, when a vehicle is in the middle parking space and enters the side parking space to charge, the charging cable will definitely not be crushed. Therefore, the rotating mechanism does not need to be activated during charging. Additionally, when a vehicle is in the middle parking space, the wheels may come into contact with the auger plate. Rotating the auger plate in this situation could easily damage it. Therefore, stopping the rotating mechanism when a vehicle is in the middle parking space helps protect the auger plate.

[0015] Furthermore, an alarm is installed on the charging pile. As the vehicle drives into the middle parking space and approaches the charging pile, the radar monitors the distance between the vehicle and the charging pile in real time. When the distance is less than one meter, the alarm sounds to remind the driver to slow down or stop to protect the barrier.

[0016] Furthermore, there are at least three parking spaces in the group, and a charging pile is installed directly behind the middle parking space in each group. The charging pile also includes a charging gun that is connected to the power line and used to connect to the vehicle. The detection mechanism includes a current measuring mechanism that detects the current in the power line to determine whether a vehicle is charging, and a positioning mechanism for obtaining the position of the vehicle charging. The positioning mechanism includes a base station installed on the charging pile, a Bluetooth tag installed on the charging gun that can be located by the base station, and a gyroscope installed on the charging gun that can determine the position of the vehicle charging by identifying the orientation of the charging gun.

[0017] The increased number of charging stations allows for a larger number of vehicles that can be charged at once. The numerous base stations provide high-precision positioning of Bluetooth tags, which are then used to locate the charging gun. A gyroscope identifies the charging gun's orientation, indicating whether the vehicle is to the left or right of the charging gun, thus determining the vehicle's position—whether it's in a parallel parking space. When the current measuring mechanism detects current in the charging cable, charging begins. When the vehicle is in a parallel parking space, a rotating mechanism drives the deflector lever and the auger plate to rotate. When there is a wire on the auger plate, it moves towards the charging vehicle under the auger's influence to prevent the wire from being crushed by the vehicle.

[0018] Furthermore, the pitch of the screw thread is smaller than the outer diameter of the wire to prevent the wire from getting stuck in the screw thread. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 6A parking space for charging a vehicle using a charging pile 13, the charging pile 13 including an electrical cable, the parking space including a parking space group 10, the parking space group 10 including a middle parking space 11 and side parking spaces 12 disposed on opposite sides of the middle parking space, the charging pile 13 being disposed directly behind the middle parking space 11, the parking space also including a parking barrier 14 disposed at the rear end of the middle parking space 11 for blocking the wheels of a vehicle 21 to prevent the vehicle 21 from hitting the charging pile 13, and a drive for driving the parking barrier 14 to rotate about the axis of the parking barrier 14. The parking space includes a rotating mechanism. A auger plate 15 is fixedly connected to the parking barrier 14 to support the electric wire 131 and can drive the electric wire 131 to move toward the charging vehicle 21 after rotation. The parking space also includes a detection mechanism. When the detection mechanism detects that there is a vehicle 21 charging in the side parking space 12, the rotating mechanism drives the parking barrier 14 to rotate. When the electric wire 131 is on the auger plate 15, the rotating auger plate 15 brings the electric wire 131 closer to the charging vehicle 21 to prevent the electric wire 131 from being pressed down by the vehicle 21 entering the middle parking space 11.

[0027] With the above setup, after the driver drives the vehicle 21 into the side parking space 12 and connects the charging pile 13 to the vehicle 21, the detection mechanism detects that the vehicle 21 is charging in the side parking space 12. The rotating mechanism drives the barrier lever 14 and the auger plate 15 to rotate. When the driver forgets to tidy up the cable 131 and leaves it dragging on the ground of the middle parking space 11, the cable 131 is supported by the auger plate 15. Under the action of the rotating auger plate 15, the cable 131 moves towards the charging vehicle 21, that is, the cable 131 moves towards the outside of the middle parking space 11, thereby preventing the vehicle 21 driving into the middle parking space 11 from pressing on the cable 131.

[0028] As one implementation, the charging pile 13 also includes a pile body 132 fixedly connected to the ground. When the charging pile 13 is in standby mode, the power cable 131 is located on the side of the pile body 132 facing the middle parking space 11. The side parking space 12 on one side of the middle parking space 11 is the first side parking space, and the side parking space 12 on the other side of the middle parking space 11 is the second side parking space. A auger plate 15 for supporting the power cable 131 extending towards the first side parking space is fixedly connected between the end of the parking barrier 14 near the first side parking space and the middle of the parking barrier 14. The end of the parking barrier 14 near the second side parking space and the middle of the parking barrier 14 are also fixedly connected. Another auger plate 15 is fixedly connected between the middle parts to support the wire 131 extending to the second parking space. The auger plates 15 at both ends of the parking barrier 14 have opposite spiral directions. When the upper side of the parking barrier 14 near the first parking space has the wire 131, the wire 131 can move towards the first parking space and towards the pile body 132 under the action of the rotating auger plate 15. When the upper side of the parking barrier 14 near the second parking space has the wire 131, the wire 131 can move towards the second parking space and towards the pile body 132 under the action of the corresponding auger plate 15.

[0029] With the above configuration, when the wire 131 is located on the side of the bollard 132 facing the middle parking space 11, the wire 131 can easily extend to the first parking space, the middle parking space 11, and the second parking space. When the wire 131 extends to the first parking space to charge the vehicle 21 in the first parking space, the wire 131 located in the middle parking space 11 can easily rest on the end of the barrier 14 near the first parking space, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 When the rotating mechanism drives the stop lever 14 to rotate, the wire 131, under the action of the rotating auger plate 15, moves both towards the charging vehicle 21 and towards the charging pile 132. (See below) Figure 5 When the power cord 131 moves toward the charging vehicle 21, it moves outward from the middle parking space 11. When the power cord 131 moves toward the parking post 132, it shortens the length of the power cord 131 between the vehicle 21 and the barrier arm 14, so that when a vehicle 21 enters the middle parking space 11, the vehicle 21 will not run over the power cord 131. Similarly, when a vehicle 21 is charging in the second parking space, the power cord 131 located in the middle parking space 11 is likely to rub against the end of the barrier arm 14 near the second parking space. The rotating auger plate 15 allows the power cord 131 on the auger plate 15 to move toward the charging vehicle 21 and the parking post 132 simultaneously. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 Therefore, when a vehicle 21 enters the middle parking space 11, the vehicle 21 will not run over the power line 131.

[0030] In one implementation, the intermediate parking space 11 is fixedly connected to two brackets 16 at both ends of the parking barrier 14. The upper end of the bracket 16 is fixedly connected to a support shaft 161 coaxial with the parking barrier 14. The two ends of the parking barrier 14 are provided with first rotating grooves 141 that are adapted to the support shaft 161. The support shaft 161 is disposed in the first rotating grooves 141 so that the parking barrier 14 can rotate stably around the axis of the support shaft 161.

[0031] As one implementation, a second rotating groove 162 is provided in the support shaft 161, and a rotating shaft 142 fixedly connected to the stop bar 14 is provided in the second rotating groove 162. A driven bevel gear 143 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 142. The rotating mechanism includes a motor 144 provided in the bracket 16 and a drive bevel gear 145 connected to the motor 144. The drive bevel gear 145 and the driven bevel gear 143 mesh.

[0032] With the above configuration, the motor 144 drives the stop lever 14 to rotate by driving the bevel gear 145, driven bevel gear 143, and rotating shaft 142.

[0033] As one implementation method, a radar 133 is provided on the side of the charging pile 132 near the middle parking space 11 to determine whether there is a vehicle 21 in the middle parking space 11; when the radar 133 determines that there is a vehicle 21 in the middle parking space 11, the rotating mechanism of the charging pile 13 stops operating while charging the vehicle 21 in the side parking space 12.

[0034] With the above setup, when a vehicle 21 is in the middle parking space 11, and the vehicle 21 enters the side parking space 12 to charge, the power cable 131 will definitely not be crushed. Therefore, the rotating mechanism does not need to be activated during charging. Additionally, when a vehicle 21 is in the middle parking space 11, the wheels of the middle parking space 11 may come into contact with the auger plate 15. Rotating the auger plate 15 at this time could easily damage it. Therefore, stopping the rotating mechanism when a vehicle 21 is in the middle parking space 11 helps protect the auger plate 15.

[0035] As one implementation method, an alarm 134 is installed on the charging pile 132. When the vehicle 21 drives into the middle parking space 11 and approaches the charging pile 13, the radar 133 monitors the distance between the vehicle 21 and the charging pile 132 in real time. When the distance is less than one meter, the alarm 134 sounds an alarm to remind the driver to slow down or stop the vehicle to protect the barrier 14.

[0036] As one implementation, there are at least three parking spaces in the parking space group 10. Each middle parking space in the parking space group 10 is equipped with a charging pile. The charging pile also includes a charging gun 135 connected to the power line 131 and used to connect to the vehicle 21. The detection mechanism includes a current measuring mechanism (not shown in the figure) that determines whether the vehicle 21 is charging by detecting the current of the power line 131, and a positioning mechanism for obtaining the position of the vehicle 21 charging. The positioning mechanism includes a base station 136 set on the charging pile, a Bluetooth tag 137 set on the charging gun 135 and located by the base station 136, and a gyroscope 138 set on the charging gun 135 and able to determine the position of the vehicle 21 charging by recognizing the orientation of the charging gun 135.

[0037] The increased number of charging stations allows for a larger number of vehicles 21 that can be charged at once. The increased number of base stations 136 provides higher accuracy in locating Bluetooth tags 137, thus pinpointing the location of the charging gun 135. The gyroscope 138 identifies the orientation of the charging gun 135, indicating whether the vehicle 21 is to the left or right of the charging gun 135, and consequently, whether it is located in the side parking space 12. When the current measuring mechanism detects current in the wire 131, the vehicle 21 begins charging. When the vehicle 21 is in the side parking space 12, the rotating mechanism drives the barrier lever 14 and the auger plate 15 to rotate. When the wire 131 is on the auger plate 15, it moves towards the charging vehicle 21 under the action of the auger plate 15 to prevent the wire 131 from being pressed by the vehicle 21.

[0038] As one implementation method, the pitch of the auger plate 15 is smaller than the outer diameter of the wire 131 to prevent the wire 131 from getting stuck in the auger plate 15.

[0039] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
