[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] Electric vehicle charging stations, serving as energy replenishment infrastructure for electric vehicles, are typically installed in open or semi-open locations, such as public parking lots and charging stations. Currently, most charging stations lack effective all-weather protection measures. In rainy or snowy weather, rainwater can easily seep into the charging station itself and charging interfaces, causing electrical components to become damp and short-circuited, affecting charging efficiency, equipment safety, and lifespan.
[0021] Some rainproof solutions for charging piles already exist in related technologies, such as installing fixed rain covers or rain visors. However, fixed structures occupy a large space, have limited rain protection range, and are not very effective at sealing in heavy rain. Therefore, there are still technical problems that need to be solved in these related technologies.
[0022] See Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application discloses an electric vehicle charging device. The device may include a rain sensing system 102, a wind sensing system 103, a control system 104, and a retractable rain shelter 101. The retractable rain shelter 101, rain sensing system 102, and wind sensing system 103 can all be connected to the control system 104. The rain sensing system 102 can collect current rainfall information during operation; the wind sensing system 103 can collect current wind information during operation; the control system 104 can control the retractable rain shelter 101 to open when the current rainfall information is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold and the current wind information is less than or equal to a second preset threshold. The control system 104 can also control the retractable rain shelter 101 to close when the current rainfall information is less than the first preset threshold or the current wind information is greater than the second preset threshold.
[0023] It is understandable that the operating period can be any time of day, and the specific time period can be adjusted according to actual needs. Current rainfall information can be rainfall monitored in real time at any given moment. Current wind information can be wind force monitored in real time at any given moment. The first preset threshold can be any wind force level, which can be a commonly defined wind force level or wind intensity information corresponding to that level. The second preset threshold can be any rainfall information, which can be commonly defined rainfall information or rainfall information customized by the designer. The retractable awning 101 can be opened by a motor driving the awning to extend from the awning storage box and open; the retractable awning 101 can be closed by a motor driving the awning to retract and return to the awning storage box. The rainfall sensing system 102 and the wind sensing system 103 can be set in places where the charging equipment can still detect rainfall and wind force after the awning is opened or closed. The covering material for the retractable awning 101 can be a light-colored awning fabric with high light transmittance (≥90%). The operator's logo can be screen-printed on the surface of the awning fabric, and the edges of the awning fabric can be designed to be tear-resistant.
[0024] The electric vehicle charging equipment of this embodiment can open its canopy when it rains and close it promptly when the wind is too strong or during non-operational times. This application can improve the rainproof effect of electric vehicle charging equipment and enhance its practicality.

[0027] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the rain cover 105 also includes a lighting device 106; the lighting device 106 is disposed around the rain cover 105.
[0028] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the side louver door 203 is an aluminum alloy louver door.
[0029] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the electric vehicle charging device also includes a canopy storage box 107; the canopy storage box 107 is used to store the retractable canopy 101 after it is closed.
[0030] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the electric vehicle charging device also includes a communication module; the communication module is used to transmit data from the rain sensing system 102, the wind sensing system 103, and the control system 104 to the cloud or an app. Moreover, the communication module can connect to a backend operation and maintenance system to report the status information of the electric vehicle charging device in real time. The status information includes, but is not limited to, weather conditions in the area where the electric vehicle charging device is located, real-time wind speed, the status of the retractable awning 101, vehicle charging status, motor operating status, and lighting system status. The communication module can be integrated with the control system 104 into a single device.
[0031] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the retractable awning 101, when opened, forms a rain-protected area with a length of 3 meters and a width of 2.5 meters. This area ensures that the charging port of the electric vehicle is not exposed to rain.
[0032] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the electric vehicle charging equipment also includes a time control system; the time control system can determine whether the electric vehicle charging equipment is in operating hours. Simultaneously, the time control system can also determine whether the electric vehicle charging equipment is in a time period requiring the lighting system to be turned on. When the electric vehicle charging equipment is not in operating hours, the retractable awning 101 is closed. Other equipment is also in a dormant state. When the electric vehicle charging equipment is within a preset time period, the control system 104 can turn on the lighting system; when the electric vehicle charging equipment is not within a preset time period, the control system 104 can turn off the lighting system. The time control system can be integrated with the control system 104 into a single device.
[0033] Furthermore, in some feasible embodiments of this application, the electric vehicle charging equipment also includes a vehicle parking detection system and a vehicle charging detection system; the vehicle parking detection system can detect whether the vehicle is parked at a preset location; the vehicle charging detection system can detect whether the vehicle is charging. It is understood that the vehicle parking detection system and the vehicle charging detection system can also be integrated with the control system 104 into a single device.
[0034] The electric vehicle charging device disclosed in the embodiments of this application will be explained and described in detail below.
[0035] The electric vehicle charging equipment in this embodiment includes a rainproof cover body fixed to a concrete foundation and a retractable rain canopy 101 installed on top of the body. The main frame of the rainproof cover is welded from 100×50×2mm 504 stainless steel square tubing, with a total height of approximately 4100mm and a width of approximately 2100mm. An 8mm thick tempered glass panel is installed at the rear as an observation / operation panel. White aluminum alloy louvered doors are installed on both sides, allowing for flexible opening. The top is covered with a 3mm thick colorless polycarbonate sheet, approximately 2000mm×2500mm in size, serving as the first line of defense against rain. The retractable rain canopy 101 is installed on top of the body via a drive mechanism. When the rain sensor system 102 detects that it is currently raining, and the wind sensor system 103 detects that the wind force is less than level 6, the control system 104 can be activated during operating hours. After activation, the rain canopy extends horizontally forward 2.5 meters, forming a rain-protected area 3 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. The rain canopy fabric is a light-colored, high-transparency material with printed markings. When the wind sensor detects a sustained wind speed exceeding level 6, the control system 104 prioritizes issuing a command to retract the rain canopy, regardless of whether it is raining. The equipment includes a lighting system. This system comprises 50W LED lights mounted on the main body and an LED landscape light strip surrounding the electric vehicle charging equipment. The LED lights are controlled by a timer controller and can be set to automatically illuminate during periods of low light, such as early morning or late evening. The control box has an IP68 protection rating and integrates the control system, communication module, manual / automatic switch, etc. The control box can be connected to a cable trench via pre-embedded HDPE pipes and communicates with cloud platforms or apps. The entire rain cover 105 is securely mounted on a concrete foundation using a pre-embedded stainless steel base plate and expansion bolts.

Intelligent Adaptive: By setting up a rain sensor system 102, a wind sensor system 103, a control system, and a retractable awning 101, the retractable awning 101 can automatically extend and retract "on demand and safely", which can effectively prevent rain and avoid unnecessary actions and space occupation when there is no rain, with a high degree of intelligence.
[0037] 2. Strong wind safety protection: The wind force sensor system 103 collects the current wind force information during operation and controls the action of the retractable awning 101 according to the current wind force information, realizing a unique strong wind protection function (automatic retraction in winds greater than level 6), effectively solving the structural safety problem of the retractable awning 101 under severe weather conditions and improving the disaster resistance of the entire charging equipment.
[0038] 3. Robust and durable structure: The rain cover 105 uses high-quality materials such as stainless steel main frame, tempered glass, aluminum alloy louvered door and endurance board to ensure the strength, sealing and weather resistance of the overall structure.
[0039] 4. All-weather friendly: The integrated high-transmittance awning fabric, high-power LED lighting and landscape light strips ensure rain and snow protection and nighttime operation lighting needs, improving user experience and the image of the charging station.
[0040] 5. Operable and scalable: It has remote status monitoring, fault alarm and backend communication capabilities, which facilitates unattended and intelligent operation and maintenance.
