[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1The illustrated municipal street light electric vehicle charging device includes a street light unit 100, a charging unit 200, and an energy storage unit 300. The street light unit 100, used for road lighting, includes a street light pole 11 with a mounting cavity and a lamp head 12 connected to the street light pole 11. The lamp head 12 is connected to a power supply line, which passes through the street light pole 11 to conduct electrical energy to the lamp head 12. The charging unit 200 is fixedly connected to the street light pole 11 and includes a charging compartment 22 for controlling electric vehicle charging and a charging connector 23 for connecting to the electric vehicle charging interface. The charging connector 23 is electrically connected to the charging compartment 22. The energy storage unit 300 is partially disposed inside the mounting cavity. The energy storage unit 300 is connected to the power supply line via an input control module (an electronic module that controls the charging of the energy storage unit 300). The charging unit 200 is electrically connected to the energy storage unit 300 and the power supply line via an output control module (an electronic module that controls the discharging of the energy storage unit 300). With the above design, electric vehicles can be charged through the charging device 200, and the energy storage device 300 can store electrical energy through the power supply line. The charging device 200 is connected to both the power supply line and the energy storage device 300, so that the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device can not only charge electric vehicles directly through the power supply line, but also store electrical energy through the energy storage device 300 and then charge the electric vehicles.

[0033] In practical applications, due to the large number of municipal streetlights connected in parallel, the power supply lines cannot provide a large output power. The input control module can control the charging process of the energy storage device 300. When the load on the power supply line is high, the input control module can reduce or shut down the charging process of the energy storage device 300. When there is no electric vehicle charging, the energy storage device 300 can store and accumulate electrical energy. Then, when the electric vehicle is charging, the output control module controls the energy storage device 300 to release the electrical energy inside the energy storage device 300 to charge the electric vehicle. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging device 200 can also obtain electrical energy from both the power supply line and the energy storage device 300 simultaneously, thereby obtaining a larger charging power. This can both reduce the power transmission pressure on the power supply line and accelerate the charging speed of the electric vehicle.

[0034] The technical details of each component will be introduced below.

[0035] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device also includes a base 400, on which a first connector and a second connector 41 are provided. The first connector is used to connect to the street light device 100 and supply power to it, while the second connector 41 is used to connect to the energy storage device 300 and supply power to it. Both the first connector and the second connector 41 are electrically connected to the power supply line. By setting the first connector and the second connector 41 separately, the street light device 100 and the energy storage device 300 are connected to the power supply line through separate connectors. This ensures that operating one of the street light device 100 or the energy storage device 300 will not affect the circuit of the other, thus facilitating the operation, maintenance, and assembly of the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device.

[0036] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the charging device 200 and the energy storage device 300 are both mounted on the street light device 100 and are detachably connected to the street light device 100 by means of snap-fit, plug-in or other means.

[0037] In practical applications, for ease of manufacturing, the street light device 100, charging device 200, and energy storage device 300 are typically produced as separate units. After the street light device 100 is installed on both sides of the road, the charging device 200 and energy storage device 300 can be quickly connected to the street light device 100 as a single unit via a detachable connection structure. Furthermore, because the internal structure of the street light device 100 is relatively simpler than that of the charging device 200 and energy storage device 300, the street light device 100 is less prone to damage. Therefore, when the charging device 200 and energy storage device 300 need to be replaced due to malfunctions or other reasons, the aforementioned detachable connection method allows for very convenient replacement. In recent years, the technology of electric vehicle charging devices 200 and energy storage devices 300 has developed very rapidly, and the aforementioned detachable connection method also facilitates the replacement and upgrading of the charging device 200 and energy storage device 300.

[0038] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage device 300 and the power supply line are electrically connected to the street light device 100 via a switching module. The switching module is used to switch the electrical connection status between the street light device 100 and the energy storage device 300 and the power supply line.

[0039] In practical applications, if the power supply line experiences a power outage, the street light device 100 cannot obtain power from the power supply line. Under normal circumstances, the street light device 100 cannot provide lighting for the road and can only provide lighting after the power supply line is restored. This is very convenient. The municipal street light electric vehicle charging device provided in this application is equipped with an energy storage device 300, and the power source of the street light device 100 is switched from the power supply line to the energy storage device 300 through a switching module. Therefore, after a power outage, the energy stored in the energy storage device 300 can continue to provide lighting for the road. This ensures that the road equipped with the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device will not lose its lighting due to a power outage within a certain period of time, which facilitates people's travel and life.

[0040] It is understandable that when the energy storage device 300 needs to supply power to the street light device 100 due to a power outage, the output control module can prevent the energy storage device 300 from providing power to the charging device 200, so as to ensure that the street light device 100 has sufficient power and thus ensure the lighting effect of the road.

[0041] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the energy storage device 300 is provided with a connecting cavity 01, and a first conductive element 31 is provided inside the connecting cavity 01. The first conductive element 31 protrudes from the inner wall of the connecting cavity 01 to facilitate contact with other components. The energy storage device 300 obtains electrical energy through the first conductive element 31. The aforementioned second connector 41 includes a base 411, a movable member 412, an elastic member 413, and a second conductive member 414. The movable member 412 is made of conductive material and is movably connected to the base 411. One end of the elastic member 413 abuts against the movable member 412, and the other end abuts against the base 411. The second conductive member 414 is used to connect to the external power grid and is arranged opposite to the movable member 412. When the energy storage device 300 is correctly assembled, the first conductive member 31 is connected to the movable member 412. When the movable member 412 moves to the first predetermined position, the movable member 412 is disconnected from the second conductive member 414, and at this time the movable member 412 is not energized. When the movable member 412 moves to the second predetermined position, the movable member 412 abuts against the second conductive member 414, and at this time the movable member 412 is energized. The energy storage device 300 can obtain electrical energy by contacting the movable member 412 through the first conductive member 31.

[0042] In practical applications, when the energy storage device 300 is separated from the street light device 100, the second connector 41 is exposed and easily comes into contact with other objects. If the surface of the second connector 41 is electrified, it is easy to cause electric shock or short circuit when it comes into contact with other objects. In this application, through the movable connection between the movable member 412 and the base 411, when the energy storage device 300 is not connected to the second connector 41, the movable member 412 is in the first predetermined position, and the movable member 412 is separated from the second conductive member 414. Therefore, the movable member 412 is not electrified, and external objects... When the body comes into contact with the movable part 412, electric shock or short circuit accidents will not easily occur, thus improving the safety of the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device during installation and use. After the energy storage device 300 is connected to the second connector 41, the movable part 412 moves from the first predetermined position to the second predetermined position under the resistance of the first conductive part 31. During this process, the movable part 412 and the second conductive part 414 change from a separated state to a resisting contact state. The electrical energy on the second conductive part 414 is transferred to the energy storage device 300 through the movable part 412 to charge the energy storage device 300.

[0043] In other implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the second connector 41 also includes an insulating element 415, which is disposed between the elastic element 413 and the second conductive element 414. In practical applications, the elastic element 413 is generally a spring made of metal material, with one end of the elastic element 413 abutting against the movable element 412 and the other end abutting against the seat 411, but very close to the second conductive element 414. In order to electrically isolate the second conductive element 414 from the elastic element 413, an insulating element 415 is provided between the second conductive element 414 and the elastic element 413, further improving the safety and stability of the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device during assembly and use.

[0044] Furthermore, the elastic ends of the aforementioned elastic member 413 are respectively provided with limiting grooves on the abutting surfaces of the movable member 412 and the base 400, and both ends of the elastic member 413 abut against the limiting grooves. The limiting grooves allow the two ends of the elastic member 413 to be embedded into the surfaces of the movable member 412 and the base 400, thereby preventing the two ends of the elastic member 413 from shifting due to vibration, impact, or other factors during the abutting process, thus improving the safety and stability of the second interface during use.

[0045] It is understood that the aforementioned elastic space can also be made of an elastic insulating material, which can prevent the current on the second conductive space from being transmitted to the moving part 412 through the elastic space.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, at least one first sealing ring 500 is provided between the side of the second connector 41 and the side of the connecting cavity 01. Since this municipal street light electric vehicle charging device is generally installed outdoors, the outdoor environment is complex and prone to rain and snow. The first sealing ring 500 forms a sealing structure between the second connector 41 and the side wall of the connecting cavity 01, effectively preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the interior of the connecting cavity 01. Inside the connecting cavity 01, the first conductive element 31 and the moving element 412 are in electrical contact; moisture ingress would pose a serious safety hazard. Therefore, the provision of the first sealing ring 500 improves the safety of this municipal street light electric vehicle charging device.

[0047] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the charging device 200 also includes a display device 21, which is electrically connected to the energy storage device 300. The display device 21 can display multiple colors to indicate the power level of the energy storage device 300. The display device 21 is mounted on the streetlight pole 11 or the charging device 200. The display device 21 can display a color corresponding to the power level of the energy storage device 300 relative to the side of the road. When a user is on the road, they can intuitively determine whether the municipal streetlight electric vehicle charging device is available for charging and the amount of stored power by observing the color displayed on the display device 21, facilitating user selection.

[0048] Furthermore, to allow users to conveniently monitor the amount of electricity stored in the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device in real time, the display device 21 also includes a signal device electrically connected to the energy storage device 300. This signal device detects the electricity level of the energy storage device 300 and converts it into an electrical signal. The signal device also connects wirelessly to the user's mobile phone, allowing the user to view the real-time power status of the municipal street light electric vehicle charging device via their mobile phone, facilitating user selection and use.

[0049] The charging system provided in this application includes multiple municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices arranged at intervals. The energy storage devices 300 of the multiple municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices are connected in parallel through parallel connecting lines. The parallel connecting lines are provided with a parallel switching module, which can adjust the energy storage devices 300 of adjacent municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices to a parallel state.

[0050] When a user selects a municipal street light electric vehicle charging device for charging, if the energy storage device 300 of one municipal street light electric vehicle charging device cannot provide enough power to the user, and several adjacent municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices are not in use, the parallel switching module can switch the energy storage devices 300 of the adjacent municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices into a parallel state. This allows multiple energy storage devices 300 to simultaneously provide power to a single user, greatly improving the utilization rate of the energy storage devices 300 and accelerating the user's charging speed. When an adjacent municipal street light electric vehicle charging device is in use, the parallel switching module will disconnect the parallel connection with the energy measurement device of that adjacent municipal street light electric vehicle charging device to avoid voltage instability and ensure the stability of the user's charging process.

[0051] In addition to the effects mentioned above, when a power outage occurs due to road construction or malfunction, the remaining power of the energy storage devices 300 at different locations will vary depending on user usage. Through the aforementioned parallel switching module, adjacent energy storage devices 300 are connected in parallel via parallel lines during a power outage. This allows adjacent streetlights 100 to simultaneously utilize multiple energy storage devices 300 as power sources, resulting in a more even distribution of stored energy across the road. This prevents individual streetlights 100 from failing to illuminate due to low power levels in some devices. In simpler terms, by connecting multiple adjacent energy storage devices 300 in parallel via parallel lines, the aforementioned parallel switching device allows a single streetlight 100 to be powered by multiple energy storage devices 300 simultaneously, resulting in a more uniform distribution of power among the energy storage devices 300.

[0052] In some embodiments, the charging system also includes a control device connected to multiple energy storage devices 300. The control device is used to adjust the electrical connection status of the multiple municipal street light electric vehicle charging devices. In practical applications, electricity consumption varies throughout the day. The control device can adjust the energy storage devices 300's energy storage capacity based on the different electricity consumption periods. Specifically, during peak electricity consumption periods, the control device can control the charging devices 200 to utilize the energy stored in the energy storage devices 300 to charge the electric vehicles. During periods of low electricity consumption, the control device can control the charging devices 200 to reduce energy consumption in the energy storage devices 300 and increase energy consumption in the power supply lines, thus maximizing the satisfaction of users' charging needs.

[0053] In addition to the effects mentioned above, when there are no users using the device, during peak electricity consumption periods, the control device can reduce the energy storage rate of the energy storage device 300 to reduce the load on the power supply line and ensure line safety; during periods of low electricity consumption, the control device can increase the energy storage power of the energy storage device 300 to accelerate the storage of electrical energy by the charging system without compromising line safety.

[0054] In some implementations, the control device is electrically connected to the output control module and input control module of the energy storage device 300, and the control device also controls the charging and discharging of the energy storage device 300. When the street light device 100 is in operation, such as at night, priority should be given to ensuring the illumination effect of the road, followed by ensuring the charging effect of the charging device 200. However, the power of municipal roads is limited. If the street light device 100, the charging device 200, and the energy storage device 300 are all in operation, it will generate a large electrical load on the power supply line, which may endanger the safety of the power supply line. To avoid the above situation, the control device is electrically connected to the power supply line and can determine the real-time output power of the power supply line. When the output power of the power supply line is about to exceed the predetermined maximum value, the control device can shut down part of the energy storage process of the energy storage device 300 to reduce the occupation of the power supply line output power. At the same time, the control device can also increase the output process of the energy storage device 300, allowing the energy storage device 300 to take on part of the charging load of the charging device 200, thereby reducing the load on the power supply line and ensuring the electrical safety of the line.

[0055] In addition to the aforementioned effects, the control device can also provide users with both fast charging and slow charging modes simultaneously. When the user selects fast charging, the control device, through its output control module, electrically connects the energy storage device 300 to the charging device 200. In this case, the charging device 200 can simultaneously obtain power from both the energy storage device 300 and the power supply line, thus achieving fast charging. When the user selects slow charging, the control device, through its output control module, electrically disconnects the charging device 200 from the energy storage device 300. In this case, the charging device 200 obtains power only through the power supply line, thus performing slow charging. This allows users to choose the appropriate charging mode according to their needs.
