[0026] See also Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an outdoor charging pile for electric vehicles with wind and rain protection. It includes a top plate 110, with multiple sets of support plates 120 installed at the bottom of the top plate 110. Each set of support plates 120 forms a charging cavity 140. Each charging cavity 140 has a baffle 130 installed inside, and each baffle 130 has an mounting plate 150 installed on it. Each mounting plate 150 has a charging pile 160 and a plug plate 170, which are electrically connected to the charging pile 160. Each set of charging cavities 140 has a waterproof component for protecting the electric vehicle and the charging pile 160, a guide component for guiding the waterproof component, and a drive component for moving the waterproof component.

[0027] The waterproof component includes a rotating roller 210, which is located at the top of the charging chamber 140 and at the end of the charging chamber 140 away from the insertion plate 170. The rotating roller 210 is rotatably connected to the charging chamber 140. A waterproof cloth 220 is installed on the rotating roller 210, and a counterweight 230 is installed at one end of the waterproof cloth 220.

[0028] When waterproofing the charging pile 160, rotating the rotating roller 210 causes the waterproof cloth 220 to unfold. Simultaneously, under the action of the counterweight 230, the waterproof cloth 220 moves vertically, shielding the charging cavity 140 and preventing outdoor rainwater from easily falling onto the power strip 170 and the electric vehicle. At the same time, the mounting plate 150 shields the other end of the charging cavity 140, preventing external rainwater from easily entering the charging cavity 140.

[0029] The guiding assembly includes two sets of connecting plates 310, which are respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides of the charging cavity 140, and a protective plate 350 is installed between the two sets of connecting plates 310.

[0030] The protective plate 350 is used to cover the waterproof cloth 220, so that the waterproof cloth 220 is not easily exposed to the sun for a long time and is not easily damaged.

[0031] Both sets of connecting plates 310 are provided with moving grooves 320, and both sets of moving grooves 320 are provided with guide rods 330.

[0032] Guide blocks 340 are slidably connected to both sets of guide rods 330, and the two sets of guide blocks 340 are respectively installed at both ends of the counterweight 230. The guide blocks 340 are used to guide the counterweight 230, so that the counterweight 230 is not easy to shake under the action of wind, and the waterproof cloth 220 can protect the charging cavity 140.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a drive cavity 410, which is formed inside the support plate 120. A worm gear 420 is rotatably connected inside the drive cavity 410. One end of the worm gear 420 extends through to the outside of the support plate 120, and a throttle 430 is installed at one end of the worm gear 420.

[0034] The drive assembly further includes a first rotating rod 440, which is rotatably connected within the drive cavity 410. A worm gear 450 and a first gear are mounted on the first rotating rod 440, and the worm gear 450 meshes with a worm 420. The drive assembly also includes a second rotating rod 470, which is rotatably connected within the drive cavity 410. One end of the second rotating rod 470 extends through to the outside of the support plate 120 and is mounted on one end of the rotating roller 210. A second gear 480 is mounted on the other end of the second rotating rod 470, and the second gear 480 meshes with a first gear 460.

[0035] By rotating the throttle 430, the worm gear 420 is driven to rotate. Through the meshing of the worm gear 420 and the worm wheel 450, the first rotating rod 440 is driven to rotate. The first rotating rod 440, through the action of the first gear 460 and the second gear 480, drives the second rotating rod 470 to rotate. The second rotating rod 470 drives the rotating roller 210 to rotate, thus storing and unfolding the waterproof cloth 220, allowing the waterproof cloth 220 to cover and open the charging cavity 140. At the same time, the self-locking action of the worm wheel 450 and the worm gear 420 prevents the waterproof cloth 220 from moving under the action of the counterweight 230, thereby maintaining the stability of the waterproof cloth 220.

[0036] Specifically, the internal electrical connection structure of the charging pile 160 and the socket 170 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. All electrical components appearing in this application are externally connected to a power source during use.

[0037] The circuits, electrical components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The scope of protection of this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software.

[0038] The control method described in this application is automatic control via a controller. The controller's control circuit can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming, and is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
