[0030] In the figure: charging pile body 1, card slot part 11, accommodating slot 12, through hole 13, flap mechanism 2, flap 21, lock hole 211, handle slot 212, hinge assembly 22, upper hinge 221, lower hinge 222, connecting piece 223, hinge shaft 224, locking assembly 3, lock tongue 31, spring 32, spring pressure plate 33, first magnet 41, second magnet 42, wall 5, skirting board 51. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the technical solution in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0032] See also Figure 1The bottom of the back of the charging pile body 1 is recessed inward to form a slot 11. The slot 11 is generally an inverted "L"-shaped slot. When the charging pile is installed close to the wall 5, the bottom surface of the slot 11 is supported on the front end of the skirting 51, and the top surface of the slot 11 overlaps the upper edge of the skirting 51, so that the slot 11 and the skirting 51 are completely engaged. When the charging pile body 1 with the slot 11 is installed on the wall 5 without the skirting 51, a narrow gap will be formed between the slot 11 and the wall. At this time, when the intelligent robot moves to the charging pile body 1 for charging, the narrow gap will be squeezed inward, the bottom of the charging pile will move backward, and the entire charging pile will fall forward, causing the charging pile to fail to charge normally.
[0033] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a flap mechanism 2 is installed in the slot portion 11 on the back of the charging pile body 1, and the slot portion 11 is supported by flipping, thereby eliminating the narrow gap between the slot portion 11 and the wall 5. When the intelligent robot moves to the charging pile body 1 for charging, the flap mechanism 2 can be supported between the slot portion 11 and the wall, thereby preventing the bottom of the charging pile from moving backward, and the entire charging pile will not fall forward, ensuring the normal use of the charging pile.
[0034] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the card slot portion 11 of the charging pile body 1 is recessed inward and forms two receiving slots 12 for receiving the flap mechanism 2, and the flap mechanism 2 can be received in the receiving slot 12. Under normal conditions, the flap mechanism 2 is received in the receiving slot 12, and the outer plane of the flap mechanism 2 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the card slot portion 11. At this time, the charging pile can be placed on a wall 5 with a skirting 51. During installation, the card slot portion 11 is engaged with the skirting 51 to form a support. When the charging pile body 1 is installed on a wall 5 without a skirting 51, the flap mechanism 2 is flipped downward, and the outer plane of the flip mechanism is coplanar with the back of the charging pile body 1, and they are jointly supported on the wall to prevent the charging pile from tipping over.
[0035] The flap mechanism 2 includes a flap 21 and a hinge assembly 22. The flap 21 is roughly a rectangular block structure. The flap 21 is fixed to the card slot portion 11 through the hinge assembly 22. The flap 21 can be accommodated in the accommodating groove 12. In a normal state, the flap 21 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 12; in another usage state, the flap 21 flips downward along the hinge assembly 22, moves out of the accommodating groove 12 and is supported on the bottom surface of the card slot portion 11 to support the card slot portion 11.
[0036] The hinge assembly 22 includes an upper hinge 221, a lower hinge 222, a connecting piece 223 and a hinge shaft 224, wherein connecting pieces 223 are provided at both ends of the upper hinge 221 and the lower hinge 222, and the two hinges are rotatably provided between the two connecting pieces 223 through the hinge shaft 224, so that the upper hinge 221 and the lower hinge 222 can be independently turned over relative to the connecting piece 223. The upper hinge 221 is fixedly connected to the flap 21 by bolts, and the lower hinge 222 is fixedly installed on the card slot portion 11 by bolts, so as to realize the turning action of the flap 21.
[0037] Two handle grooves 212 for fingers to enter are provided on the end surface of the flap 21 close to the hinge assembly 22, so as to facilitate the flap 21 to be turned out. When in use, the fingers are inserted into the handle grooves 212 and the flap 21 is pulled outward to make the flap 21 flip outward.
[0038] Combine again Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, a locking assembly 3 is further provided between the charging pile body 1 and the flap mechanism 2, and the locking assembly 3 is used to lock the flap 21 in the receiving groove 12 and prevent it from easily falling out. Specifically, the locking assembly 3 includes a lock tongue 31, a spring 32 and a spring pressure plate 33, and the two ends of the spring 32 are respectively fixedly connected to the lock tongue 31 and the spring pressure plate 33, and the spring pressure plate 33 is fixed inside the charging pile body 1. Under the extrusion of the spring 32, the lock tongue 31 extends from the through hole 13 on the side wall of the receiving groove 12 to the receiving groove 12, and a lock hole 211 for the lock tongue 31 to penetrate is provided on the side wall of the flap 21. When the flap 21 is received in the receiving groove 12, the spring 32 presses the lock tongue 31 outward, and the lock tongue 31 is inserted into the lock hole 211 of the flap 21 through the through hole 13, so that the flap 21 is stably locked in the receiving groove 12.
[0039] Preferably, the end of the lock tongue 31 is a smooth arc surface, which plays a guiding role. Specifically, when a finger is inserted into the handle groove 212 of the flap 21 and a pulling force is applied outward, the arc surface of the lock tongue 31 contacts and transitions with the edge of the lock hole 211, so that the lock tongue 31 is squeezed outward and exits the lock hole 211, so that the flap 21 is unlocked smoothly; similarly, when the flap 21 flips upward and enters the receiving groove 12, the smooth arc end of the lock tongue 31 contacts and transitions with the side of the flap 21 and is stuck in the lock hole 211. By setting the end of the lock tongue 31 as a smooth arc surface, the transition effect can be achieved, and locking and unlocking can be achieved only by applying an external force to the flap 21, which is convenient to use.
[0040] In this embodiment, the flap mechanism 2 further includes a first magnet 41 and a second magnet 42, wherein the first magnet 41 is fixed on the flap 21, and the second magnet 42 is fixed at a corresponding position in the charging pile body 1. When the flap 21 is flipped downward, the flap 21 is tightly adsorbed on the card slot 11 through the suction action of the suction assembly formed by the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42, thereby maintaining the flap 21 in a stable state of being flipped out.
[0041] It should be noted that the flipping of the flap 21 downward in this embodiment is only an example, and the flipping direction can also be upward, left or right, so as to achieve the purpose of effectively supporting the card slot portion 11 after the flap 21 is flipped out.
[0042] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of the flap mechanism 2 in use state 1. At this time, the flap 21 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 12 and is locked and fixed by the locking assembly 3. The outer plane of the flap 21 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the slot portion 11. The charging pile body 1 in this state is suitable for installation on a wall 5 with a skirting 51. Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of the second use state of the flap mechanism 2. At this time, the flap 21 flips downward and disengages from the accommodating groove 12. The flap 21 is tightly adsorbed on the card slot portion 11 through the attraction of the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42, so that the flap 21 can effectively support the card slot portion 11. The charging pile body 1 in this state is suitable for installation on a wall 5 without a skirting 51. The flap 21 is supported on the wall to prevent the charging pile from tipping over and ensure the normal use of the charging pile.
