Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically to a charging pile with an intelligent storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global new energy vehicle industry, the market penetration rate of new energy vehicles continues to climb. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, by the end of 2024, my country's new energy vehicle ownership had exceeded 30 million units and continues to maintain a high growth rate. New energy vehicle users are increasingly demanding charging for long-distance travel, business activities, and other scenarios. However, the current limited functionality of charging stations severely restricts the user's charging experience. In practical use, users of new energy vehicles often carry a large number of valuables while charging, such as laptops, cameras, wallets, and important documents. Since charging time for new energy vehicles is relatively long—fast charging typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, and slow charging can take several hours—if users leave their belongings in the car, they not only face the risk of theft due to vulnerabilities in the vehicle's electronic systems, but also risk damage to electronic devices due to the high temperature and humidity inside the vehicle. Carrying these items with them is extremely inconvenient when moving around. For example, when charging at a highway service area, carrying a large number of items will severely impede a user's ability to go to a restaurant or rest; charging at airports or high-speed rail stations presents a significant challenge for users who need to leave briefly to handle business. While some standalone locker devices exist on the market, they have many shortcomings when adapted to new energy vehicle charging scenarios. The charging process for new energy vehicles presents certain fire hazards; for example, battery overheating and short circuits can both cause fires. Most existing lockers do not consider the fire safety requirements when integrated with charging stations and lack effective fire prevention measures. If a fire breaks out in the charging station area, the fire can easily spread to the lockers, resulting in the destruction of valuables stored inside. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a charging station with an intelligent storage cabinet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a charging pile with an intelligent storage cabinet, comprising a charging pile and a storage cabinet connected to the side of the charging pile, wherein an anti-slip base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage cabinet, and a cabinet door is hinged to the front of the storage cabinet via a hinge. The inner wall of the cabinet door is equipped with a fireproof device, which includes a heat insulation mechanism and a fire extinguishing mechanism. The heat insulation mechanism includes a heat insulation box and a vent. The heat insulation box is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cabinet door, and the vent is opened on the upper surface of the heat insulation box. The fire extinguishing mechanism includes a sleeve, a buckle, a connecting ring, a memory spring, a limestone block, a through hole, and a rubber pad. The buckle is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cabinet door, the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet door, the sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring, the memory spring is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring, the limestone block is placed inside the sleeve, the through hole is opened on the side of the insulation box near the sleeve, and the rubber pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve near the side of the insulation box.

[0005] Preferably, the vents are evenly spaced on the upper surface of the heat insulation box, the heat insulation box is made of ceramic fiber, and the interior of the heat insulation box is filled with a 2% dilute hydrochloric acid solution.

[0006] Preferably, the memory spring is made of CuZnAl memory alloy wire, with a stretching temperature of 80℃-95℃, a free state (low temperature) of 45mm, and an elongated state (high temperature) of 200mm. The sleeve passes through the interior of the two buckles, and the limestone block has multiple small holes on its surface. The diameter of the limestone block is smaller than the diameter of the through holes.

[0007] Preferably, the interior of the storage cabinet is fixedly connected to a partition, which divides the interior of the storage cabinet into multiple storage spaces of different sizes. The top of the partition is fixedly connected to a slide rail, and a placement platform is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the storage cabinet, a telescopic rod is connected to the side of the fixing block, a magnetic strip is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the fixing block, and a fixed magnetic strip is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the storage cabinet. The magnetic strip and the fixed magnetic strip attract each other on the side that is close to each other.

[0009] Preferably, a rainproof canopy is fixedly installed on the top of the storage cabinet, and drainage holes are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the rainproof canopy.

[0010] Preferably, a display panel and a charging port are fixedly installed on the side of the charging pile, and the charging port is provided with dustproof and waterproof protection.

[0011] Preferably, a steering sleeve is fixedly installed on the front of the charging pile, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the steering sleeve, a photovoltaic panel is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a magnetic strip is fixedly connected to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel, a groove is opened on the front of the charging pile, a telescopic column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the groove, and a magnetic ring is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic column.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This charging station with intelligent lockers will generate high temperatures from combustion, causing the surface temperature of the locker to rise. Once the temperature reaches the deformation temperature of the memory spring, the memory spring will extend, pushing the limestone block into the interior of the insulation box. Because the interior of the insulation box is filled with a % concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid solution, the limestone will react with the dilute hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide emitted from the through-hole will have a flame-retardant effect, thus preventing flames from entering the interior of the locker and reducing the possibility of the user's items being burned.

[0013] 2. The charging station with smart locker has a partition board fixedly connected inside the locker. The partition board divides the locker into multiple storage spaces of different sizes. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the partition board, and a placement platform is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail. When the customer has heavy items inside the locker, the items are placed on the placement platform, and the placement platform is pulled to slide on the surface of the slide rail. The placement platform and the items are then pulled out together for easy retrieval of the items.

[0014] 3. When a lot of items are placed in the charging station with the smart storage cabinet, they are prone to falling out when the cabinet door is opened. Therefore, the magnetic strip can be pulled to extend the telescopic rod. The extended magnetic strip attracts the side of the fixed magnetic strip, so that the telescopic rod can intercept the placed items and prevent them from falling out and hitting the car owner when the cabinet door is opened.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] To address the issue that most existing storage lockers do not consider fire safety requirements when integrated with charging stations, and lack effective fire protection measures, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: A charging station with a smart locker includes a charging station 1 and a locker 2 connected to the side of the charging station 1. The bottom of the locker 2 is fixedly installed with an anti-slip base 4. The locker 2 is characterized in that a cabinet door 201 is hinged to the front of the locker 2. The inner wall of cabinet door 201 is equipped with a fireproof device, which includes a heat insulation mechanism and a fire extinguishing mechanism. The heat insulation mechanism includes an insulated box 202 and vents 203. The insulated box 202 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of cabinet door 201. The vents 203 are located on the upper surface of the insulated box 202 and are evenly spaced. The insulated box 202 is made of ceramic fiber and is filled with a 2% dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Ceramic fiber has good chemical stability; generally, when the concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid is below 5%, the corrosive effect on ceramic fiber is relatively small, and it can be considered that it will not cause significant corrosion.

[0021] The fire extinguishing mechanism includes a sleeve 204, a buckle 205, a connecting ring 206, a memory spring 207, a limestone block 208, a through hole 209, and a rubber pad 210. The buckle 205 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cabinet door 201, the connecting ring 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet door 201, the sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring 206, the memory spring 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting ring 206, the limestone block 208 is disposed inside the sleeve 204, and the through hole 209 is opened in the heat insulation box 201. 2. On the side near the sleeve 204, the rubber pad 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 204 near the heat insulation box 202. The memory spring 207 is made of CuZnAl memory alloy wire, and its extension temperature is 80℃-95℃. In the free state (low temperature), it is 45mm, and in the elongated state (high temperature), it is 200mm. The sleeve 204 passes through the interior of the two buckles 205. The surface of the limestone block 208 has multiple small holes. The diameter of the limestone block 208 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 209.

[0022] The rubber pad 210 limits the limestone block 208 to prevent it from accidentally entering the heat insulation box 202. After the memory spring 207 extends, it pushes the limestone block 208 to overcome the limitation of the rubber pad 210 and pushes the limestone block 208 into the heat insulation box 202.

[0023] A rain shelter 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage cabinet 2. Drainage holes 301 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the rain shelter 3. The top of the rain shelter 3 is not arched to prevent rainwater from accumulating, and the drainage holes 301 facilitate the drainage of rainwater.

[0024] A display panel 101 and a charging port 102 are fixedly installed on the side of the charging pile 1. The display panel 101 can manage the charging of the charging pile 1 and control the opening and closing of the cabinet door 201. The cabinet door 201 is a solenoid valve switch, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the display panel 101. An inverter and a battery are installed inside the charging pile 1.

[0025] A steering sleeve 103 is fixedly installed on the front of the charging pile 1. A rotating shaft 104 is rotatably connected inside the steering sleeve 103. A photovoltaic panel 105 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 104. A magnetic strip 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 105. A groove is formed on the front of the charging pile 1. A telescopic column 107 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the groove. A magnetic ring 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic column 107. The magnetic ring 108 and the side of the magnetic strip 106 that are close to each other attract each other. When the photovoltaic panel 105 is retracted, the magnetic strip 105 at its bottom will approach the magnetic ring 108 and be attracted by the magnetic strip 106, thereby fixing the photovoltaic panel 105.

[0026] On sunny days, the photovoltaic panel 105 can be rotated to drive the rotating shaft 1014 to rotate inside the steering sleeve 103. After the photovoltaic panel 105 is opened, the photovoltaic panel 105 converts the light energy shining on its surface into electrical energy, which is then transmitted to the battery for storage through the inverter, thus providing power to the charging pile.

[0027] Example 2: In actual use of the storage cabinet 2, it may be inconvenient to take out the items inside the storage cabinet 2. When there are many items piled up inside the storage cabinet 2, they may fall out when the cabinet door 201 is opened. Therefore, this application has a partition board fixedly connected inside the storage cabinet 2. The partition board divides the inside of the storage cabinet 2 into multiple storage spaces of different sizes. A slide rail 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition board, and a placement platform 212 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 211.

[0028] When a customer has heavy items inside the locker 2, the items are placed on the placement platform 212, and the placement platform 212 is pulled to slide on the surface of the slide rail 211. The placement platform 212 and the items are pulled out together, making it easy to retrieve the items.

[0029] A fixing block 213 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the storage cabinet 2. A telescopic rod 214 is connected to the side of the fixing block 213. The telescopic rod 214 is made of carbon fiber telescopic rod material. A magnetic strip 215 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 214 away from the fixing block 213. A fixed magnetic strip 216 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the storage cabinet 2. The magnetic strip 215 and the fixed magnetic strip 216 attract each other on the side that is close to each other.

[0030] When a lot of items are placed inside, they are likely to fall out the moment the cabinet door 201 is opened. Therefore, the magnetic strip 215 can be pulled to extend the telescopic rod 214. The extended magnetic strip 215 attracts the fixed magnetic strip 216 on the side closest to it, so that the telescopic rod 215 can intercept the placed items and prevent them from falling and hitting the car owner the moment the cabinet door 201 is opened.

[0031] Working principle: When using the charging pile 1, first operate the charging on the display panel 101, then operate to open the cabinet door 201, place the items to be stored inside the storage cabinet 2, and close the cabinet door 201. If combustion occurs during the charging process of the new energy vehicle, the high temperature generated by the combustion will cause the surface temperature of the storage cabinet 2 to rise. After the temperature rises to the deformation temperature of the memory spring 207, the memory spring 207 will extend. After extension, the memory spring 207 will push the limestone block 208 into the interior of the heat insulation box 202. Because the interior of the heat insulation box 202 is filled with a 2% dilute hydrochloric acid solution, the limestone will react with the dilute hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced will float out from the through hole 203, which will play a flame-retardant role, thereby preventing the flame from entering the interior of the storage cabinet 2 and reducing the possibility of the user's items being burned.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0033] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
