Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile technology, and in particular to a charging pile for new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicle charging stations are devices that provide electricity to electric vehicles (EVs). With the increasing popularity of EVs, the demand for charging stations is gradually increasing. The types, functions, and technologies of charging stations are constantly evolving to meet different scenarios and needs. The rapid development of new energy vehicle charging stations is crucial to the popularization of EVs. With technological advancements, charging stations are no longer just charging tools, but are gradually becoming intelligent and convenient energy management devices. In the future, the widespread adoption, intelligentization, and standardization of charging stations will provide EV users with a more efficient and convenient charging experience, while simultaneously promoting the sustainable development of the new energy vehicle industry.

[0003] The prior art publication CN119329342B provides an environmentally friendly charging pile for new energy vehicles. By incorporating a sliding platform and telescopic components, the extension position of the charging head can be adjusted, allowing for the selection of a more suitable charging head location. The wedge-shaped blocks enable the charging head to be retracted during charging and extended during charging, thus facilitating its storage and increasing its lifespan. Furthermore, the inclusion of a drive mechanism and a rotating shaft allows for automatic unwinding and rewinding of the charging cable, facilitating cable storage and preventing tripping hazards caused by the cable being carelessly suspended.

[0004] Existing technology requires installation on the ground within the parking space. In indoor parking spaces, where the spacing between spaces is small, this ground-mounted technology occupies a portion of the space. This can cause drivers to feel cramped when parking, affecting convenience and comfort, and also poses a risk of vehicle collisions, thus shortening the lifespan of the charging station.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology lacks a technology for the suspended installation of charging piles. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the lifting frame. A bidirectional worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The bidirectional worm gear meshes with a worm wheel for transmission. A transmission wheel A is fixedly connected to the middle of the bidirectional worm gear. A transmission wheel B is meshed with the lower side of the transmission wheel A for transmission transmission. The transmission wheel B is rotatably connected to the lifting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting base has two handles that are slidably fitted together in a cross structure in the middle. One end of each handle is fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​plate, and the inner end of the snap-fit ​​plate is fixedly connected to a plurality of springs B. The other end of each spring B is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base, and the outer end of the snap-fit ​​plate is movably inserted into the inner wall of the slot.

[0012] Preferably, a wire trough is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing.

[0013] Preferably, a cable is wound on the cable reel, the free end of the cable extends through the inner wall of the wire tray to the lower side and is fixedly connected to a charging gun, and a driven wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the cable reel.

[0014] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing. A drive wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft inside the charging pile housing, and the drive wheel meshes with a driven wheel for transmission. A universal joint is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating shaft, and the universal joint is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the charging pile housing. An adjusting wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the universal joint, and the adjusting wheel meshes with a transmission wheel B for transmission.

[0015] Preferably, a gear is fixedly connected to the middle of one end of the protective cover, and an adjusting rack is meshed and driven on one side of the gear. The top end of the adjusting rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing.

Compared with ground installation, suspended installation can better protect the charging pile from external impacts.

[0018] 2. The automatic lifting and lowering of the charging pile and the automatic retraction and extension of the cable and charging gun are achieved through the drive mechanism. This not only greatly improves the convenience of use and the safety of the charging pile, but also effectively saves time, reduces manual intervention and extends the life of the equipment. At the same time, when the lifting frame is raised and lowered, the sponge can be moved through the linkage group to automatically wipe the camera lens, ensuring that the lens is always clean and ensuring the real-time monitoring quality of the camera.

[0019] 3. By setting up a protective cover, the lifting frame can automatically protect the bottom opening of the charging pile during lifting through the cooperation of tension springs and contact blocks. This not only improves the safety and durability of the charging pile, but also makes the equipment more intelligent, convenient and aesthetically pleasing. The automatically opening and closing protective cover can effectively prevent external environmental damage to the charging pile, reduce equipment failures, extend service life, simplify the operation process and improve the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0030] like Figures 1-8The charging pile shown includes a ceiling panel 1. Two linkage groups 2 are rotatably connected to the lower side of the ceiling panel 1. A lifting frame 3 is rotatably connected between the two linkage groups 2. A drive mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 3. A mounting base 5 is movably inserted on the lifting frame 3. A charging pile shell 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 5. A cable winder 7 is rotatably connected inside the charging pile shell 6. A transmission mechanism 8 is rotatably connected through one inner wall of the charging pile shell 6. A protective cover 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom opening of the charging pile shell 6.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a cable routing ring 201 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod assembly 2, and a worm gear 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod assembly 2.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, slots 301 are provided on both outer walls of the middle section of the lifting frame 3. A camera 302 is fixedly mounted on one end of the lifting frame 3. A sponge 303 is slidably attached to the lens of the camera 302. A sliding frame 304 is fixedly connected to the sponge 303. The top of the sliding frame 304 is slidably attached to the connecting rod assembly 2. A spring A305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 304. The other end of the spring A305 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting frame 3. The spring A305 enables the sponge 303 to wipe automatically. When the connecting rod assembly 2 rotates, it disengages from the sliding frame 304. At this time, under the action of the spring A305, the sponge 303 connected to the sliding frame 304 moves, thereby cleaning the lens of the camera 302.

[0033] By installing the ceiling panel 1, the linkage group 2, and the lifting frame 3, the charging pile can be installed on the ceiling, achieving a suspended installation. This effectively improves space utilization, enhances safety, reduces charging cable obstructions, and improves the overall experience for parking lots and car owners. At the same time, in conjunction with the cable routing ring 201 on the linkage group 2, it enables standardized management and layout of the wiring, reducing interference and potential hazards caused by ground cables. It also avoids damage to the charging pile caused by vehicle scratches or improper human operation. Compared with ground installation, suspended installation can better protect the charging pile from external impacts.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the drive mechanism 4 includes a motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 3. A bidirectional worm gear 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 401, and the bidirectional worm gear 402 meshes with a worm wheel 202 for transmission. A transmission wheel A403 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bidirectional worm gear 402, and a transmission wheel B404 is meshed with the lower side of the transmission wheel A403 for transmission. The transmission wheel B404 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 3. The motor 401 drives the connected bidirectional worm gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod assembly 2 connected to the two worm wheels 202 to rotate, causing the connecting rod assembly 2 to move the lifting frame 3 downward. When the bidirectional worm gear 402 rotates, it drives the connected transmission wheel A403 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission wheel B404 to rotate. At this time, the transmission wheel B404 drives the meshing adjusting wheel 804 to rotate.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 5 has two handles 501 arranged in a cross-shaped sliding fit in the middle. One end of each handle 501 is fixedly connected to a snap-fit ​​plate 502, and the inner end of the snap-fit ​​plate 502 is fixedly connected to multiple springs B503. The other end of each spring B503 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 5, and the outer end of the snap-fit ​​plate 502 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the slot 301. When the mounting base 5 is snapped onto the lifting frame 3, the snap-fit ​​plate 502 can be inserted into the slot 301 under the action of the springs B503, thus enabling the charging pile housing 6 on the mounting base 5 to be installed on the lifting frame 3.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, a cable tray 601 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing 6. The cable tray 601 facilitates the guidance of the cable 701, enabling its neat storage and winding.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, a cable 701 is wound on the cable reel 7. The free end of the cable 701 extends through the inner wall of the wire tray 601 to the lower side and is fixedly connected to a charging gun 702. A driven wheel 703 is fixedly connected to one end of the cable reel 7.

[0038] like Figure 7As shown, the transmission mechanism 8 includes a rotating shaft 801, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing 6. A drive wheel 802 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 801 inside the charging pile housing 6. The drive wheel 802 meshes with a driven wheel 703 for transmission. A universal joint 803 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating shaft 801, and the universal joint 803 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the charging pile housing 6. An adjusting wheel 804 is fixedly connected to one end of the universal joint 803, and the adjusting wheel 804 meshes with a transmission wheel B404 for transmission. The adjusting wheel 804 drives the connected universal joint 803 to rotate. At this time, the universal joint 803 drives the drive wheel 802 connected to the rotating shaft 801 to rotate, so that the drive wheel 802 can drive the cable reel 7 connected to the driven wheel 703 to rotate, so that the cable reel 7 can drive the charging gun 702 connected to the cable 701 to be lowered.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, a gear 901 is fixedly connected to the middle of one end of the protective cover 9. An adjusting rack 902 is meshed with one side of the gear 901. The top of the adjusting rack 902 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the charging pile housing 6. A T-shaped rod 903 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting rack 902, and the T-shaped rod 903 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the charging pile housing 6. A tension spring 904 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped rod 903, and the other end of the tension spring 904 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the charging pile housing 6. A contact block 101 is fixedly connected to the middle of the ceiling plate 1, and the top of the T-shaped rod 903 abuts against the lower surface of the contact block 101. When the lifting frame 3 moves down, the T-shaped rod 903 will not contact the contact block 101. At this time, under the action of the tension spring 904, the adjusting rack 902 connected to the T-shaped rod 903 will move, so that the adjusting rack 902 can drive the protective cover 9 connected to the gear 901 to open automatically.

[0040] Working principle: When the charging pile needs to be installed, the ceiling plate 1 is installed on the ceiling corresponding to the parking space, and then the mounting base 5 is clipped onto the lifting frame 3. Under the action of the spring B503, the snap plate 502 can be inserted into the slot 301, so that the charging pile shell 6 on the mounting base 5 is installed on the lifting frame 3. Then the power transmission line is wired through the wiring ring 201 and installed with the equipment inside the charging pile shell 6.

[0041] When charging is required, the motor 401 drives the connected bidirectional worm gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod assembly 2 connected to the two worm wheels 202 to rotate. This causes the connecting rod assembly 2 to move the lifting frame 3 downward. When the connecting rod assembly 2 rotates, it will disengage from the sliding frame 304. At this time, under the action of the spring A305, the sponge wiper 303 connected to the sliding frame 304 will move, thereby cleaning the lens of the camera 302. This allows the camera 302 to monitor the parking space in real time while charging.

[0042] At the same time, when the lifting frame 3 moves down, the T-shaped rod 903 will not contact the contact block 101. At this time, under the action of the tension spring 904, the adjusting rack 902 connected to the T-shaped rod 903 will move, so that the adjusting rack 902 can drive the protective cover 9 connected to the gear 901 to open automatically.

[0043] Simultaneously, when the bidirectional worm gear 402 rotates, it drives the connected transmission wheel A403 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission wheel B404 to rotate. At this time, the transmission wheel B404 drives the meshing adjusting wheel 804 to rotate, which in turn drives the connected universal joint 803 to rotate. The universal joint 803 then drives the drive wheel 802 connected to the rotating shaft 801 to rotate, which in turn drives the cable reel 7 connected to the driven wheel 703 to rotate. This allows the cable reel 7 to lower the charging gun 702 connected to the cable 701, so that the user can then pick up the charging gun 702 for charging.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
