Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging piles, and in particular to a vertical automatic adaptive charging pile and a charging method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, energy forms are also changing with each passing day. Among them, new energy vehicles are gradually accepted and favored by the public due to their low cost of use. New energy vehicles have the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection and simple maintenance, so they are very suitable for use as a means of transportation.

[0003] Unlike fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles take a longer time to recharge, so the performance and safety of charging piles are crucial.

[0004] For existing new energy charging piles, their charging cables are mostly exposed to the outside, and due to the complexity of the external environment and the influence of human factors, the damage of the charging cables is inevitable. For this reason, there are also charging piles in the prior art whose charging cables can be automatically recycled. This charging pile perfectly solves the problem of charging cable damage, but the recycling of the charging cable is bound to carry external dust and other impurities into the charging pile, which can easily cause a short circuit in the internal power-control components of the charging pile. Although the dust adhering to the charging cable can be wiped off by scratching the charging cable with a brush, the generation of dust cannot be avoided, and there is still a risk of short-circuiting the internal power-control components of the charging pile.

[0023] The outer part of the rotating ring is also provided with a plurality of groups of water delivery plates at equal intervals in a circumference, and a first guide plate and a second guide plate are formed on the water delivery plates, and the water delivery plates are in conduction with the annular cavity;

[0024] An annular sponge is detachably installed in the rotating ring, and bristles are arranged inside the annular sponge.

[0025] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of groups of air guide ports are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the protective cover, and a lifting plate is slidably installed inside the protective cover, and the lifting plate is connected to the mechanical arm through an abutment component;

[0029] A method for charging a vehicle using a vertical automated adaptive charging pile comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 1: When the vehicle to be charged approaches, the robotic arm moves, uses the mechanical claw to open the charging cover of the vehicle, and then inserts the charging head into the charging port of the vehicle. During this process, the high-voltage cable is pulled out from the reel;

[0031] Step 2: After charging is completed, the robotic arm is retracted. At this time, under the action of the energy storage component, the winding member is driven to move in the opposite direction, so that the high-voltage cable is spirally wound on the winding member;

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] By setting the winding member and the interlocking structure, firstly, during charging, when part of the high-voltage cable is still wound on the winding member, air can flow through the inner wall of the winding member, thereby carrying away the heat transferred from the high-voltage cable to the winding member, which has a certain heat dissipation effect, and when the air flows through the strip-shaped through groove, it can directly contact the high-voltage cable attached to the winding member, and directly cool the high-voltage cable, further improving the heat dissipation effect, ensuring the stability of the high-voltage cable temperature during charging, and preventing the charging power from being limited due to the high temperature of the high-voltage cable. Secondly, after charging is completed, the mechanical arm recycles autonomously, and the high-voltage cable can be recycled and wound, thereby effectively protecting the high-voltage cable and preventing the high-voltage cable from being exposed to the outside for a long time, resulting in breakage and damage.

[0036] Through the cleaning component, on the one hand, the bristles can be used to clean the dust adhering to the high-voltage cable, so as to prevent the dust from adhering to the high-voltage cable and affecting its heat dissipation; on the other hand, after the bristles absorb clean water, the generation of dust can be avoided during the cleaning process, so as to prevent the dust from spreading in the protective cover and re-adhering to the high-voltage cable or causing a short circuit in the control components in the protective cover;

[0037] By setting up the lifting plate and abutment assembly, the conduction state of the air guide port can be changed as the robotic arm moves, so that when the robotic arm is in a folded state, the protective cover can be isolated from the outside world to prevent external dust from entering the protective cover; when the robotic arm is in an unfolded state, the protective cover is connected to the outside world to use air to cool down the control components and high-voltage cables in the protective cover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] 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 described embodiments 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In addition, when an element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only embodiment.

[0051] See also Figure 1 to Figure 10In an embodiment of the present invention, a vertical automatic adaptive charging pile includes: a box body 1, a mechanical arm 3, a protective cover 4, a horizontal support shaft 11, an energy storage component and a cleaning component. First, during charging, when part of the high-voltage cable 5 is still rolled up on the winding member 6, air can flow through the inner wall of the winding member 6, thereby carrying away the heat transferred from the high-voltage cable 5 to the winding member 6, which has a certain heat dissipation effect. When the air flows through the strip-shaped through groove 601, it can directly contact the high-voltage cable 5 attached to the winding member 6, and directly cool the high-voltage cable 5, further improving the heat dissipation effect, ensuring the temperature stability of the high-voltage cable 5 during charging, and preventing the charging power from being limited due to the excessive temperature of the high-voltage cable 5. Secondly, after charging is completed, the mechanical arm 3 is automatically recovered, which can make the high-voltage cable 5 be recovered and rolled up, thereby effectively protecting the high-voltage cable 5 and preventing the high-voltage cable 5 from being exposed to the outside for a long time, which may cause damage. The details are as follows:

[0052] A mounting frame 2 capable of moving in a horizontal direction is installed in the box body 1;

[0053] The mechanical arm 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 2, and a charging head and a mechanical claw are integrated at the end of the mechanical arm 3. The rotating end of the mechanical arm 3 can move in a vertical direction;

[0054] It should be supplemented that a horizontal guide rail is provided in the box body 1, and the mounting frame 2 can slide in the horizontal guide rail. A vertical guide rail is provided in the mounting frame 2, and the rotating end of the robotic arm 3 can slide in the vertical guide rail, so that the robotic arm 3 can automatically adjust its own position according to the position state of the vehicle, and facilitate the subsequent movement of the robotic claw and the charging head.

[0055] See also Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , the protective cover 4 is connected to the mounting frame 2;

[0056] The transverse support shaft 11 is installed in the protective cover 4, and a winding member 6 is sleeved on the transverse support shaft 11. When the winding member 6 rotates, the winding member 6 can move along the length direction of the transverse support shaft 11;

[0057] Specifically, the winding member 6 is a double-layer tubular structure, the double-layer tubular structure is slidably sleeved on the transverse support shaft 11, and both ends of the double-layer tubular structure are connected to the outside;

[0058] The winding member 6 is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped through grooves 601 for connecting the inner and outer sides thereof at equal intervals in a circle, and the winding member 6 is connected to the transverse support shaft 11 via a mosaic structure, wherein the mosaic structure comprises a spiral groove 1101 arranged along the axial direction of the transverse support shaft 11 and a convex shaft 602 arranged in the winding member 6, and the convex shaft 602 is slidably connected to the spiral groove 1101, and when the winding member 6 rotates, the winding member 6 can move along the length direction of the transverse support shaft 11.

[0059] It should be noted that, see Fig. 9 , the distance a between the spiral grooves 1101 is greater than the circumferential diameter of the high-voltage cable 5, so that when the high-voltage cable 5 is wound on the winding member 6, although the high-voltage cable 5 is wound in a spiral shape, the high-voltage cable 5 is in a loose state, that is, the high-voltage cable 5 has a certain gap when it is wound on the winding member 6, so that during the charging process, when part of the high-voltage cable 5 is still wound on the winding member 6, the high-voltage cable 5 will not be heated up due to its own temperature rise, thereby reducing the charging power.

[0060] When in use, the high-voltage cable 5 is wound on the winding member 6. At this time, when the mechanical arm 3 is unfolded, the high-voltage cable 5 can be pulled, so that the high-voltage cable 5 can drive the winding member 6 to actively rotate and release the high-voltage cable 5. In this process, the energy storage component can actively store energy, and during the charging process, the remaining high-voltage cables 5 still wound on the winding member 6 have gaps between each other, so that the heat generated by the current flowing through the high-voltage cable 5 can be dissipated in time, avoiding the high-voltage cable 5 from overheating and limiting the charging power.

[0061] Furthermore, since the reel 6 is a double-layer tubular structure and both ends of the double-layer tubular structure are connected to the outside, air can flow freely inside the reel 6, thereby being able to exchange heat with the reel 6 and improving the heat dissipation effect. Moreover, since the reel 6 is provided with a strip through groove 601, the high-voltage cable 5 attached to one side of the reel 6 can also be effectively cooled, thereby ensuring that the high-voltage cable 5 can be effectively cooled during operation and maintaining the stability of the charging power.

[0062] When charging is completed, the robotic arm 3 can be recovered autonomously. At this time, one end of the high-voltage cable 5 is released. The energy storage component can actively drive the winding member 6 to rotate the rod by releasing elastic potential energy, thereby winding up the high-voltage cable 5. Compared with the existing charging piles, the present application can effectively protect the high-voltage cable 5 by winding up the high-voltage cable 5, thereby preventing the high-voltage cable 5 from being exposed to the outside for a long time and causing damage.

[0063] Through the above arrangement, firstly, during charging, when part of the high-voltage cable 5 is still rolled up on the winding member 6, air can flow through the inner wall of the winding member 6, thereby carrying away the heat transferred from the high-voltage cable 5 to the winding member 6, which has a certain heat dissipation effect, and when the air flows through the strip-shaped through groove 601, it can directly contact the high-voltage cable 5 attached to the winding member 6, and directly cool the high-voltage cable 5, further improving the heat dissipation effect, ensuring the temperature stability of the high-voltage cable 5 during charging, and preventing the charging power from being limited due to the excessive temperature of the high-voltage cable 5. Secondly, after charging is completed, the robotic arm 3 recycles autonomously, which can enable the high-voltage cable 5 to be recycled and rolled up, thereby effectively protecting the high-voltage cable 5 and preventing the high-voltage cable 5 from being damaged due to long-term exposure to the outside.

[0064] It is worth noting that the end of the high-voltage cable 5 wound on the take-up member 6 is connected to a brush structure (not shown in the figure) arranged in the protective cover 4, so that when the end of the high-voltage cable 5 rotates with the take-up member 6, the transmission of electricity can be maintained, wherein the brush structure is a prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0065] See also Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , the energy storage assembly is arranged on the transverse support shaft 11 and connected to the winding member 6, the energy storage assembly includes a traction disc 7 rotatably mounted on the transverse support shaft 11, a traction cable 9 is wound on the traction disc 7, and a counterweight 10 is connected to the end of the traction cable 9 away from the traction disc 7, and the traction disc 7 is symmetrically connected to a plurality of connecting rods 8 arranged along the length direction of the transverse support shaft 11, and a limiting groove 603 arranged on the inner wall of the winding member 6 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 8;

[0066] One end of the connecting rod 8 away from the traction disc 7 is connected to a bevel gear set 13 arranged in the protective cover 4 through a first connecting belt 12 , and the bevel gear set 13 is connected to the cleaning assembly through a second connecting belt 14 .

[0067] When the high-voltage cable 5 is pulled, the winding member 6 will rotate. At this time, under the action of the limit groove 603 and the connecting rod 8, the traction disc 7 will be driven to rotate, and the traction cable 9 will be wound. At this time, the counterweight part 10 can be lifted upward to store gravitational potential energy. When the mechanical arm 3 is recovered, the counterweight part 10 can reverse the winding member 6 by releasing the gravitational potential energy. That is, the present application realizes the forward and reverse rotation of the winding member 6 and the winding and release of the high-voltage cable 5 by storing gravitational potential energy. Compared with the prior art that uses a torsion spring to store elastic potential energy to achieve the above effect, although the gravitational potential energy is increased, the tension received by the high-voltage cable 5 is constant (the gravity of the counterweight part 10), which is within the rated tension range of the high-voltage cable 5, eliminating the disadvantage that the high-voltage cable 5 is subjected to increasing force as it is pulled by using a torsion spring to store elastic potential energy to achieve the above effect, and effectively protecting the physical structure of the high-voltage cable 5, avoiding the situation where the high-voltage cable 5 is broken and the insulation layer is cracked due to excessive tension.

[0068] See also Figure 3 , the high-voltage cable 5 is rollingly connected with a plurality of guide wheels 25 arranged in the protective cover 4, and the rotation axes of two sets of the guide wheels 25 pass through the same horizontal plane, that is, the high-voltage cable 5 has a horizontal section at one end in the protective cover 4;

[0069] The cleaning component is connected to the energy storage component, and the cleaning component can clean the high-voltage cable 5 connected to the winding member 6 and the charging head;

[0070] The cleaning assembly comprises a rotating collar 15 rotatably mounted in the protective cover 4, an annular cavity 1501 is formed inside the rotating collar 15, and a plurality of groups of conducting holes 1502 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating collar 15;

[0071] The outer part of the rotating ring 15 is also provided with a plurality of groups of water delivery plates 16 at equal intervals in a circumference, and the water delivery plates 16 are formed with a first guide plate 1601 and a second guide plate 1602, and the water delivery plates 16 are in communication with the annular cavity 1501;

[0072] An annular sponge 17 is detachably mounted in the rotating ring 15 , and bristles 18 are arranged inside the annular sponge 17 .

[0073] It should be added that a water tank with an upward opening is provided in the protective cover 4, and the liquid level in the water tank is lower than the horizontal section of the high-voltage cable 5 but higher than the lowest point of the rotating collar 15. When the high-voltage cable 5 is recovered and the external high-voltage cable 5 is received in the protective cover 4, the traction disc 7 also drives the rotating collar 15 to rotate through the connecting rod 8, the first connecting belt 12, the bevel gear set 13, and the second connecting belt 14, and rotates the water delivery plate 16. At this time, when the second guide plate 1602 is horizontal, it can be submerged below the liquid level. At the same time, as the rotating collar 15 rotates, clean water can enter the annular cavity 1501 through the first guide plate 1601, and pass through The conducting hole 1502 is absorbed by the annular sponge 17 and then diffused onto the bristles 18. The annular sponge 17 and the bristles 18 rotate with the rotating ring 15, and can scrub the horizontal section of the high-voltage cable 5 that passes through the rotating ring 15. Based on this, on the one hand, the bristles 18 can be used to clean the dust adhering to the high-voltage cable 5 to prevent the dust from adhering to the high-voltage cable 5 and affecting its heat dissipation. On the other hand, after the bristles 18 absorb clean water, the generation of dust can be avoided during the dust cleaning process, preventing the dust from diffusing in the protective cover 4 and re-adhering to the high-voltage cable 5 or causing a short circuit in the control components in the protective cover 4.

[0074] See also Figure 3~Figure 5 , a plurality of groups of air guide ports 401 are equidistantly arranged on the side wall of the protective cover 4, and a lifting plate 19 is slidably installed inside the protective cover 4, and the lifting plate 19 is connected to the mechanical arm 3 through an abutment component;

[0075] The lifting plate 19 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the protective cover 4, and a plurality of groups of guide ports 1901 adapted to the air guide ports 401 are equidistantly arranged on the lifting plate 19. Specifically, one side of the lifting plate 19 is slidably connected with a guide member 24 arranged in the protective cover 4.

[0076] The abutment assembly includes an inclined groove 1902 arranged on the lifting plate 19 and a connecting rod 21 slidably arranged through the protective cover 4, one end of the connecting rod 21 is rotatably mounted with an engaging wheel 22 that rolls with the inclined groove 1902, and the other end is connected with a connecting plate 20, and an abutment wheel 26 rotatably mounted on the mechanical arm 3 is adapted to the connecting plate 20. Specifically, the adaptation mode of the abutment wheel 26 and the connecting plate 20 includes: abutment contact and complete separation. When in abutment contact, the air guide port 401 is in a completely blocked or partially conductive state, and when completely separated, the air guide port 401 is in a fully conductive state;

[0077] A cylindrical spring 23 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 21 , and one end of the cylindrical spring 23 away from the connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 4 .

[0078] In the initial state, the robot arm 3 is in a retracted state. At this time, the abutment wheel 26 on the robot arm 3 is in abutment with the connecting plate 20. At this time, the column spring 23 is stretched, and the guide port 1901 on the lifting plate 19 is misaligned with the air guide port 401. At this time, the protective cover 4 is in a closed state, which can prevent external dust from entering the protective cover 4. As the robot arm 3 is unfolded, the abutment wheel 26 makes a circular motion with the rotation center of the robot arm 3. At this time, the column spring 23 will release its elastic potential energy, so that the connecting plate 20 is in a closed state. The connecting rod 21 moves, and at this time, with the cooperation of the engaging wheel 22 and the inclined groove 1902, the lifting plate 19 will move upward, and make the conducting port 1901 coincide with the air guide port 401. At this time, the protective cover 4 is connected to the outside, and the external air can flow through the protective cover 4, so as to utilize the air to cool the control components and high-voltage cables 5 in the protective cover 4. Furthermore, after the robot arm 3 is deflected by a predetermined angle from the retracted state, the abutment wheel 26 can be separated from the connecting plate 20, and the air guide port 401 is in a fully conductive state.

[0079] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the conduction state of the air guide port 401 can be changed as the robot arm 3 moves, so that when the robot arm 3 is folded, the protective cover 4 can be isolated from the outside world to prevent external dust from entering the protective cover 4. When the robot arm 3 is unfolded, the protective cover 4 is connected to the outside world to utilize air to cool down the control components and high-voltage cables 5 in the protective cover 4.

[0080] As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for charging a vehicle using a vertical automated adaptive charging pile is also proposed, comprising the following steps:

[0081] Step 1: When the vehicle to be charged approaches, the mechanical arm 3 moves, uses the mechanical claw to open the charging cover of the vehicle, and then inserts the charging head into the charging port of the vehicle. During this process, the high-voltage cable 5 is pulled out from the winding member 6;

[0082] Step 2: After charging is completed, the robot arm 3 is retracted. At this time, under the action of the energy storage component, the winding member 6 is driven to move in the reverse direction, so that the high-voltage cable 5 is spirally wound on the winding member 6;

[0083] Step 3: When the reel 6 moves in the reverse direction, it will also drive the cleaning component to clean the high-voltage cable 5 that enters the protective cover 4 from the outside;

[0084] Step 4: Robot arm 3 is completely reset and charging is completed.

[0085] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention.
