Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the field of charging pile protection technology, specifically a flexible charging pile protection device. Background Art
[0002] Charging piles refer to charging equipment that provides charging services for new energy electric vehicles, and mainly adopt charging methods based on time, electricity consumption, and amount.
[0003] Most of the existing car charging piles are installed outdoors. The charging port of electric energy vehicles is generally located at the side and rear of the car, and the charging cable of the charging pile is generally not very long. Therefore, when charging, the car will be parked next to the charging pile to facilitate charging;
[0004] In the process of reversing, although there will be assistance from the reversing image, if the operation is wrong, it will still hit the charging pile and cause damage to the charging pile and the rear bumper of the car;
[0005] Therefore, a protective device is needed to protect charging piles and new energy vehicles. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this patent is to provide a flexible charging pile protection device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above purpose, this patent provides the following technical solutions: a flexible charging pile protection device, comprising a base and a charging pile, the upper wall of the base is equipped with a charging pile by bolts, the charging pile is connected to an external cable, and a protective mechanism is inserted and installed on the side wall of the base;
[0008] The protection mechanism includes an insert cylinder, a sliding column and an elastic column. A slot is provided on the side wall of the base. The insert cylinder is inserted into the slot. One end of the sliding column is slidably installed in the insert cylinder. The other end of the sliding column passes through the slot and is installed with an elastic column on the side wall of the base.
[0009] The elastic column includes a main rod body, a secondary rod body, a fixing sleeve, a spring, a connecting rod and a sponge sleeve. One end of the connecting rod is installed on the side wall of the main rod body, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the sliding column. The upper end of the main rod body is installed with a fixing sleeve, and one end of the spring is installed in the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this patent to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this patent. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this patent, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0022] See also Figure 1-3This patent provides a technical solution: a flexible charging pile protection device, including a base 1 and a charging pile 2, the upper wall of the base 1 is installed with the charging pile 2 by bolts, the charging pile 2 is connected to an external cable, and the side wall of the base 1 is inserted with a protection mechanism 3;
[0023] The protection mechanism 3 is arranged on the front, left and right sides of the base 1. Since there will be no vehicles coming from behind the base 1, the protection mechanism 3 is not arranged on the rear side of the base 1. If the new energy vehicle needs to approach the charging pile 2 for charging, if the vehicle is operated incorrectly, the rear end of the vehicle will first come into contact with the protection mechanism 3, and the protection mechanism 3 will prompt the driver to stop the vehicle to protect the charging pile 2.
[0024] The protection mechanism 3 includes an insert tube 31, a sliding column 32 and an elastic column 33. A slot 4 is provided on the side wall of the base 1. The insert tube 31 is inserted and installed in the slot 4. One end of the sliding column 32 is slidably installed in the insert tube 31. The other end of the sliding column 32 passes through the slot 4 and is installed with the elastic column 33 on the side wall of the base 1.
[0025] If there is an operational error in the vehicle, the elastic column 33 will first contact the rear of the new energy vehicle. During the contact, the elastic column 33 will be deformed, and the outside of the elastic column 33 is a sponge sleeve 336, so the vehicle can be fully protected;
[0026] The elastic column 33 includes a main rod body 331, a secondary rod body 332, a fixing sleeve 333, a spring 334, a connecting rod 335 and a sponge sleeve 336. One end of the connecting rod 335 is installed on the side wall of the main rod body 331, and the other end of the connecting rod 335 is connected to the sliding column 32. The upper end of the main rod body 331 is installed with a fixing sleeve 333, and one end of the spring 334 is installed in the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve 333. The other end of the spring 334 is installed with the secondary rod body 332, and the sponge sleeve 336 is sleeved on the outside of the main rod body 331 and the secondary rod body 332.
[0027] The auxiliary rod body 332 is connected to the main rod body 331 through a spring 334, so the two are flexibly connected. If the auxiliary rod body 332 is hit by a vehicle, the auxiliary rod body 332 will tilt, causing the elastic column 33 to deform, thereby fully protecting the vehicle shell and avoiding damage to the vehicle shell after the collision.
[0028] The spring 334 used in this article is not used for shock absorption, but is used as a connecting piece. When the collision is resolved and the spring 334 is used for reset, the driver can stop the elastic column 33 from shaking by holding it with his hands.
[0029] Specifically, there are six protection mechanisms 3 , which are respectively arranged on the front side, the left side, and the right side of the base 1 .
[0030] Specifically, the outer side of the sliding column 32 is sleeved with a limiting ring 5, and the limiting ring 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the insert 31;
[0031] The limiting ring 5 can prevent the sliding post 32 from sliding out of the inserting tube 31 .
[0032] Specifically, the inner cavity of the insert tube 31 is equipped with a damper 6, one end of the damper 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the insert tube 31, and the other end of the damper 6 is in contact with the side wall of the sliding column 32;
[0033] If the vehicle does not stop after hitting the elastic column 33, the sliding column 32 will retract into the insert tube 31. During the retraction process, the damper 6 provides movement resistance, consumes the impact energy, stops the vehicle, avoids contact between the vehicle and the charging pile 2, and fully protects the charging pile 2.
[0034] Specifically, a rubber ring 7 is sleeved on the outside of one end of the sliding column 32 located outside the base 1, and the rubber ring 7 is in contact with the side wall of the base 1;
[0035] Herein, the rubber ring 7 is sleeved on the sliding column 32 , so it will fit with the side wall of the sliding column 32 , so that it can seal the connection between the sliding column 32 and the insert 31 , prevent the entry of external dust or impurities, and avoid affecting the retraction of the sliding column 32 .
[0036] Specifically, a return spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 6 .
[0037] Working principle: When a new energy vehicle needs to be charged, it slowly reverses to the vicinity of the charging pile 2. If the operation is wrong and the brake is pressed late, the elastic column 33 will first contact the rear of the new energy vehicle. When in contact, the elastic column 33 will be deformed, and the outside of the elastic column 33 is a sponge sleeve 336, so the vehicle can be fully protected;
[0038] If the vehicle does not stop after hitting the elastic column 33, the sliding column 32 will retract into the insert tube 31. During the retraction process, the damper 6 provides movement resistance, consumes the impact energy, stops the vehicle, avoids contact between the vehicle and the charging pile 2, and fully protects the charging pile 2.
