[0014] The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0015] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 13 In one embodiment, a charging pile for charging new energy vehicles includes a support frame, a first side plate, a second side plate, a charging cable, and a charging gun. The charging cable is wound between the first side plate and the second side plate and is connected to the charging gun. The pile also includes a top plate, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly. The top plate is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame. A plurality of sliding strips are slidably installed on the top plate. A plurality of fixing teeth are provided on the sliding strips. A limit plate is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding strips extending out of the top plate. A guide wheel is rotatably installed at the other end of the sliding strips through a bracket. A spring is installed between the limit plate and the top plate. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at the other end of the sliding bar, and a support rod is fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod. A guide wheel is rotatably installed on the opposite side of the two support rods.

[0017] A movable frame is slidably mounted on one side of the top plate, and a mounting base is slidably mounted inside the movable frame. The first driving component is used to drive the movable frame to move, and the second driving component is used to drive the mounting base to move within the movable frame. A fixed plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and the first side plate is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate. The rotation direction of the fixed plate is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the first side plate. A third motor is mounted on the second side plate, and the output shaft of the third motor is rotatably connected to the first side plate and the second side plate. The charging cable is wound around the output shaft of the third motor, and a gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the third motor. The fixed gear meshes with the gear.

[0018] In this embodiment, a rotating column is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, a fixing plate is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating column, a fixing shaft is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate, a bushing is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing shaft, the bushing is fixedly connected to the first side plate, the fixed connection point between the bushing and the first side plate is located at an eccentric position, the first side plate is fixedly connected to the second side plate, and the specific fixed connection method can be to use a reinforcing rod to connect and fix the outer edges of the first side plate and the second side plate (not shown in the figure).

[0019] The positions of the sliding bars correspond to the charging ports at different locations on the left rear, right rear, left front, right front, front of the vehicle, and rear of the vehicle. The top plate is inclined to guide rainwater, and the support is inclined outward.

[0020] Charging station usage method: First, the camera recognizes or obtains the user's vehicle model information through mobile phone interaction. Based on the user's vehicle model information, the location of the charging interface is obtained. The vehicle's front orientation is determined based on the camera recognition or user input. Based on the vehicle's front orientation and the location of the charging interface, the specific charging location is determined. Based on the specific charging location, the first drive component is activated to move the movable frame to the corresponding position. Then, the second drive component is activated to move the mounting base to the corresponding position. During the movement of the mounting base to the corresponding position, the fixed plate rotates, allowing the gear to mesh with the fixed teeth. At the same time, the first and second side plates rotate so that the first and second side plates are in a vertical state. When the target position is reached, the fixed teeth and gears are exactly engaged. At this time, the spring is in a relaxed state. Then, the third motor is activated to rotate. The rotation of the third motor releases the charging cable, and the charging gun slowly descends. At the same time, the sliding bar also descends synchronously. When the sliding bar and the charging gun are released to the target height, the user can pass the charging cable around the guide wheel and insert it into the charging interface for charging. When charging begins, rotate the first side plate and the second side plate until they are in a horizontal position.

[0021] Once charging is complete, rotate the first and second side plates to make them vertical. Remove the charging gun and place the charging cable on the guide wheel. Then, start the third motor, which rotates to wind the charging cable. During the winding process, the charging cable remains draped over the charging gun. As winding nears completion, the gear and fixed teeth continuously mesh, causing the charging cable to wind and pull the charging gun away from the guide wheel, thus completing the winding. During this process, the spring is stretched. After winding, the second motor disengages the gear and fixed teeth, allowing the spring to return to its original length. The winding motor is then restarted, rotating the first and second side plates to a horizontal position, bringing them to a standstill, ready for the next charging cycle.

[0022] By setting the mounting base to move in the x and y directions, the position of the charging gun can be adjusted according to different charging interface positions. This allows the charging gun and charging cable to be released from top to bottom, saving charging cable length and preventing the charging cable from drooping to the ground. In addition, by lowering the guide wheel on the sliding bar at the same time as the charging gun is lowered, the charging cable can pass through the guide wheel during charging, preventing the charging cable from bending at 90 degrees at the connection between the charging cable and the charging gun, thus preventing the conductive wires inside the charging cable from breaking or falling off.

[0023] Please see Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, a through groove is provided on the top plate, a plurality of blocks are fixedly installed on the side of the sliding bar away from the spring, and a plurality of stops are fixedly installed on one side of the through groove.

[0024] In this embodiment, the sum of twice the cross-sectional area of ​​the sliding strip and the cross-sectional area of ​​the jacking block is less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the through groove.

[0025] When the slider and charging gun are released to the target height, the user manually moves the slider towards the horizontal position, moving the block on the slider to directly above the stop block, thereby fixing the position of the slider. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state, and the user can pass the charging cable around the guide wheel and insert it into the charging interface for charging. Once charging is complete, pull the slider horizontally to detach the block from the stop, allowing the slider to move freely up and down.

[0026] In this embodiment, a fixed pulley is rotatably mounted on the end face of the fixed plate, and the drive rope passes through the fixed pulley, which guides the drive rope.

[0027] Please see Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the first drive assembly includes a first motor and a first threaded rod. A track is fixedly installed on the top plate. One end of the track is fixedly installed on the first motor. The output end of the first motor is connected to the first threaded rod. The first threaded rod is rotatably installed inside the track. The first threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable frame.

[0028] In this embodiment, a track groove is provided on the track, and a connecting seat is fixedly installed on one side of the movable frame. The connecting seat is located in the track groove, and the first threaded rod is threadedly connected to the connecting seat. The first threaded rod is located in the track groove.

[0029] Please see Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the second drive assembly includes a second motor and a second threaded rod. The second motor is fixedly mounted on one end of the movable frame, and the output end of the second motor is connected to the second threaded rod. The second threaded rod is rotatably mounted inside the movable frame and is threadedly connected to the mounting base.

[0030] In this embodiment, the movable frame has a frame groove, the mounting base is located in the frame groove, and the second threaded rod is located in the frame groove.

[0031] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the second side plate is provided with a plurality of slots.

[0032] In this embodiment, when charging begins, the winding motor is started to wind the drive rope, thereby driving the first side plate and the second side plate to rotate to a horizontal position. During the rotation, the charging cable slides into the slot, thereby fixing the charging cable and preventing it from being released and sagging under the action of other external forces.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, a display screen is mounted on the support base.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting up a display screen, human-computer interaction can be performed before and after charging is started.

[0035] The working process of this invention is as follows: First, the user's vehicle model information is obtained through camera recognition or mobile phone interaction. Based on the user's vehicle model information, the location of the charging port is obtained. The vehicle's front orientation is determined based on camera recognition or user input. Based on the vehicle's front orientation and the charging port location, the specific charging location is determined. Based on the specific charging location, the first motor is started to rotate, driving the movable frame to move to the corresponding position. Then, the second motor is started to rotate, driving the mounting base to move to the corresponding position. During the movement of the mounting base to the corresponding position, the rotating column drives the fixed plate to rotate, so that the gear can mesh with the fixed teeth. At the same time, the drive rope is released by the winding motor. The first and second side plates are then lowered into a vertical position. When the target position is reached, the fixing teeth and gears mesh perfectly. At this time, the spring is relaxed. Then, the third motor is started to rotate, which releases the charging cable and causes the charging gun to descend slowly. At the same time, the sliding bar also descends synchronously. When the sliding bar and the charging gun are released to the target height, the user manually moves the sliding bar towards a horizontal position, moving the block on the sliding bar to directly above the stop block, thereby fixing the position of the sliding bar. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the user can pass the charging cable around the guide wheel and insert it into the charging interface for charging. When charging begins, the winding motor is started to wind the drive rope, thereby driving the first and second side plates to rotate to a horizontal position. During the rotation, the charging cable slides into the slot, which can fix the charging cable in place and prevent it from being released and sagging under the action of other external forces.

[0036] Once charging is complete, the drive rope is released via the winding motor, lowering the first and second side plates into a vertical position. The charging gun is then removed, and the charging cable is placed on the guide wheel. The sliding bar is pulled horizontally to disengage the lap block from the stop block, allowing the sliding bar to move freely up and down. The third motor is then activated, rotating to wind the charging cable. During the winding process, the charging cable remains lapped on the charging gun. As winding nears completion, the gear and fixed teeth continuously mesh, causing the charging cable to wind and pull the charging gun away from the guide wheel, thus completing the winding. During this process, the spring is stretched. After winding, the second motor disengages the gear and fixed teeth, allowing the spring to return to its original length. The winding motor is then activated again, rotating the first and second side plates to a horizontal position, bringing them to a standstill, awaiting the next charging cycle.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present 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 its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
