[0029] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 together. An embodiment of the present application provides a fixing device 100 for fixing a charging cable. The fixing device 100 includes a base 10 and a movable member 20. The movable member 20 is disposed on the base 10 and has a fixing end 21 and a connecting end 22. The fixing end 21 is used to fix the male and female ends of the charging cable. The connecting end 22 has a separation state separated from the external fixing surface and a connection state connected to the external fixing surface. The connecting end 22 is configured to be able to switch to a connection state when the male and female ends are fixed to the fixing end 21.

[0030] It should be noted that the charging cable refers to the charging extension cable, which usually includes a female connector, an extension cable and a male connector. When in use, the female connector of the charging cable is connected to the original power supply male connector of the charging pile, and the male connector of the charging cable is connected to the charging port on the vehicle to achieve charging.

[0031] The base 10 can provide a mounting base for the movable part 20 and can support the overall structure of the fixing device 100. The movable part 20 is arranged on the base 10, and the movable part 20 has a fixed end 21 and a connecting end 22 arranged opposite to each other, wherein when the female end of the charging cable is connected to the original power supply male end of the charging pile, the female end and the male end can be fixed at the fixed end 21, so that the male end and the female end are more stable when connected.

[0032] Furthermore, the connection end 22 has a separated state and a connected state. The external fixing surface may be the ground, or the surface of a mounting platform or the surface of other mounting structures. For ease of understanding, the following description will be made by taking the ground as an example.

[0033] When the connection end 22 is in the separated state, the connection end 22 is separated from the ground, and the fixing device 100 can be moved to adjust the position of the fixing device 100. When charging, the male and female connectors are connected to each other and fixed to the fixing end 21. At this time, the connection end 22 switches from the separated state to the connected state. When the connection end 22 is in the connected state, the connection end 22 is connected to the ground, which can prevent the fixing device 100 from moving during the charging process, making the charging process more stable.

[0034] As shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments, the base 10 is provided with a mounting channel 11, the movable member 20 is telescopically disposed in the mounting channel 11, and the connecting end 22 is located below the fixed end 21 along the gravity direction. The movable member 20 is configured to be able to shrink under the gravity of the male and female heads of the fixed end 21 to switch to a connected state.

[0035] Specifically, the installation channel 11 is opened through the base 10 in a vertical direction. When the base 10 is placed on the ground, the movable member 20 can be inserted into the installation channel 11 in a vertical direction and can perform telescopic movement in the installation channel 11 .

[0036] Furthermore, since the connecting end 22 is located below the fixed end 21 along the direction of gravity, when the male head and the female head are fixed to the fixed end 21, the fixed end 21 is pressed downward under the action of the gravity of the male head and the female head, thereby driving the movable part 20 to contract. At this time, the connecting end 22 moves toward the ground driven by the contraction movement of the movable part 20 and is connected to the ground, thereby realizing the switching from the separated state to the connected state.

[0037] Therefore, during use, when charging is required, the male and female connectors are fixed to the fixed end 21 and connected, and the movable part 20 can naturally shrink under the gravity of the male and female connectors, thereby switching from a separated state to a connected state, and realizing the fixing effect of the fixing device 100 on the charging cable. When charging is completed, the male and female connectors are removed from the fixed end 21. At this time, due to the disappearance of the gravity, the movable part 20 can naturally switch from the connected state to the separated state without affecting the movement of the fixing device 100.

[0038] In addition, the movable member 20 can be connected to the base 10 through a connecting member, so as to be stably arranged in the installation channel 11. The connecting member can be, but is not limited to, a rubber member, a nylon cloth, etc., and the connecting member and the connecting end 22 can be connected by gluing or other methods, so that the movable member 20 is more stably arranged in the installation channel 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connection end 22 is provided with a suction cup assembly 23, and the suction cup assembly 23 is used to adsorb an external fixing surface in a connected state.

[0040] Specifically, the suction cup assembly 23 may include a plurality of suction cups, and each suction cup is evenly distributed on the end surface of the connection end 22. When the male head and the female head are fixed to the fixed end 21, the movable part 20 contracts under the action of gravity, so that each suction cup on the connection end 22 contacts the ground and is adsorbed on the ground to achieve fixation.

[0041] In some embodiments, the movable part 20 has a cavity 24 inside, and a vent 25 communicating with the cavity 24 is provided on the movable part 20 , and the vent 25 is used to discharge the gas in the cavity 24 when the movable part 20 contracts.

[0042] As a specific embodiment, the movable part 20 can be set as a bellows with sealed ends, and the interior of the bellows is hollow to form a cavity 24. A vent pipe 25 connected to the cavity 24 is set on the bellows. When the male and female heads are fixed to the fixed end 21, the bellows contracts under the action of gravity, and the gas inside the cavity 24 is discharged through the vent pipe 25, so that the bellows can contract smoothly.

[0043] At the same time, the suction cups at the bottom of the bellows are adsorbed to the ground under the action of gravity, so that the fixing device 100 is fixed to the ground as a whole.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base 10 has a receiving cavity 12 inside. The receiving cavity 12 is disposed around the outer periphery of the installation channel 11 and is used to receive the charging cable.

[0045] Specifically, the interior of the base 10 is hollow and forms a receiving cavity 12, which can be communicated with the installation channel 11. When the movable part 20 is set in the installation channel 11, the male and female connectors are fixed to the fixed ends 21 and connected, the remaining extension cable of the charging cable can be wound and stored in the receiving cavity 12.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fixing device 100 further includes a plurality of supporting legs 30 , each supporting leg 30 being telescopically disposed at the bottom of the base 10 and spaced apart along the circumference of the base 10 .

[0047] Specifically, each support leg 30 can support and fix the base 10. In addition, each support leg 30 is telescopically arranged, and the distance between the base 10 and the ground can be flexibly adjusted, so that after the male and female heads are fixed to the fixing ends 21, the connection ends 22 can be better adsorbed and connected to the ground under the action of gravity.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the fixing device 100 further includes a mounting assembly 40 disposed at the fixing end 21 , and the mounting assembly 40 is used to fix the male connector and the female connector so that the male connector and the female connector are connected to each other.

[0049] Specifically, the mounting assembly 40 can not only fix the male and female connectors at the fixed end 21, but also connect the male and female connectors fixed at the fixed end 21, so as to make the male and female connectors more stable during the charging process.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 40 includes a first support plate 41, a support rod 42, a second support plate 43, a male fixing seat 44 and a female fixing seat 45. The first support plate 41 is arranged at the fixed end 21, the support rod 42 is connected between the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 43, and the male fixing seat 44 and the female fixing seat 45 are arranged on a side surface of the second support plate 43 away from the support rod 42.

[0051] Specifically, the first support plate 41 is fixed to the end surface of the fixed end 21, the support rod 42 is vertically arranged on the first support plate 41, and the second support plate 43 is fixed to the other end of the support rod 42 away from the first support plate 41. In addition, the male fixing seat 44 and the female fixing seat 45 are both arranged on the side surface of the second support plate 43 away from the support rod 42.

[0052] Thus, the male head can be fixed to the male head fixing seat 44, the female head can be fixed to the female head fixing seat 45, and the male head and the female head can be connected to each other to achieve stable charging.

[0053] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 40 further includes a dustproof plate 46 , which is detachably disposed on the male fixing seat 44 and the female fixing seat 45 .

[0054] Specifically, the dustproof plate 46 is covered on the male head fixing seat 44 and the female head fixing seat 45. Therefore, when the male head is fixed to the male head fixing seat 44, the female head is fixed to the female head fixing seat 45, and the male head and the female head are connected to each other, the dustproof plate 46 can protect the male head and the female head from water and dust.

[0055] Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned fixing device 100 , the present application also provides a charging device, including the above-mentioned fixing device 100 .

[0056] When the present application is used, the fixing device 100 is first placed on the ground, and when charging, the male head is fixed to the male head fixing seat 44, the female head is fixed to the female head fixing seat 45, and the male head and the female head are connected to each other. At this time, under the gravity of the male head and the female head, the fixed end 21 is compressed downward, and the gas inside the movable part 20 is discharged through the vent pipe 25, so that the movable part 20 is smoothly contracted.

[0057] At this time, the suction cups of the connection end 22 are adsorbed onto the ground, so that the connection end 22 switches from a separated state to a connected state, and the entire fixing device 100 is fixed to the ground to prevent movement during the charging process.

[0058] At the same time, the extra extension cable in the charging cable is wound and stored in the receiving cavity 12 to prevent the extension cable from dragging on the bottom surface. When charging is completed, the male and female connectors are removed from the fixed end 21. At this time, due to the disappearance of gravity, the connection end 22 can automatically switch from the connected state to the separated state, making it easier to move the fixing device 100.

[0059] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
