Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging piles, in particular to a charging pile with a charging gun cable that can be prevented from being over-pulled. Background Art

[0002] Electric vehicles use electric motors to replace internal combustion engines. Electric motors convert the electrical energy provided by the battery pack into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. The charging pile can safely provide electrical energy to the battery pack in the car. When using the charging pile to charge the vehicle, you need to pick up the charging gun head, pull the cable out of the charging pile, and then connect the charging gun head to the charging socket on the vehicle to charge.

[0003] Due to the distance between the charging pile and the vehicle, when the distance is too far and exceeds the length of the cable, the charging gun head cannot be inserted into the charging socket. At this time, some car owners will pull the cable, causing damage to the cable and breakage. Most of the existing charging piles have a winch-type cable retracting mechanism inside, which uses a motor to drive the winch to rotate to achieve automatic retraction and release of the cable. The traditional charging gun cable retracting and releasing mechanism does not have an anti-over-pull mechanism. The cable is retracted and released through a winch, and the cable is wound around the winch in a ring shape. If this continues for a long time, the cable will bend, deform, or even break, posing a huge safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0027] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0028] When the charging gun is used to charge the vehicle, the charging gun head 10 is pulled out, and the single chip computer 14 controls the motor 167 to operate. The output shaft of the motor 167 drives the worm 68 to rotate forward. Because the worm wheel 66 is meshed with the worm 68, the worm wheel 66 will also rotate accordingly, driving the screw rod 62 and the pulley 65 on the rear side to rotate. Because the two pulleys 65 are connected by belt transmission, the front pulley 65 will also rotate accordingly, driving the front screw rod 62 to rotate forward. At this time, because the threads on the outer surfaces of the two screw rods 62 are in opposite directions, the two sliders 63 will move outward along the groove 61 as the screw rod 62 rotates, driving the guide wheel 64 to move, and the cable 9 begins to loosen from the tight state.

[0029] At the same time, the single chip computer 14 controls the operation of the second motor 693. The output shaft of the second motor 693 drives the rubber guide wheel 691 on the rear side to rotate forward. Because the two gears 692 are meshed and connected, the two rubber guide wheels 691 also move relative to each other. The rubber surface of the rubber guide wheel 691 is in close contact with the surface of the cable 9. The huge friction force pulls the cable 9 outward. The pulling speed of the cable 9 is always less than the moving speed of the slider 63, that is, the loosening speed, to ensure that the cable 9 is always located inside the groove of the guide wheel 64, so that the cable 9 can be pulled out without damage and the cable 9 can be effectively prevented from falling off.

[0030] When the slider 63 on the front side contacts the pressure sensor 11, the cable 9 has reached its limit. The pressure sensor 11 converts the pressure into an electrical signal and sends it to the single chip computer 14. The single chip computer 14 controls the motor 1 67 and the motor 2 693 to stop rotating, and controls the sound and light alarm 12 to emit an alarm sound and an alarm light to remind the operator that the cable 9 has reached its extension limit, which can effectively prevent the cable 9 from being damaged due to over-tensioning.

[0031] When the cable 9 needs to be retracted after charging, the single chip computer 14 controls the motor 1 67 and the motor 2 693 to operate. The motor 1 67 drives the two screw rods 62 to reverse, and drives the two sliders 63 to move inward along the groove 61 to tighten the cable 9. At this time, the motor 2 693 drives the rubber guide wheel 691 to reverse, and the two rubber guide wheels 691 also move relative to each other. The friction force pulls the cable 9 back, and the pulling back speed is also lower than the tightening speed. Until the cable 9 is completely pulled back, the charging gun head 10 is inserted back into the slot 7.

[0032] The utility model realizes automatic retraction and extension of the cable through the friction force of the rubber guide wheel and the up and down displacement of the guide wheel. The retraction and extension process is smoother and has less impact on the cable. An automatic alarm function is also provided to remind the car owner in time to prevent the cable from being damaged by over-pulling.

[0033] It is worth noting that the single-chip microcomputer 14 disclosed in the above embodiment is an S7-200 single-chip microcomputer, the motor 67 is a 1TL0003 motor, the motor 693 is a 60M-01330F5-A17 motor, the pressure sensor 11 is a YL60 pressure sensor, and the sound and light alarm 12 is a YD-D3B sound and light alarm. The single-chip microcomputer 14 controls the operation of the motor 67, the motor 693, the pressure sensor 11 and the sound and light alarm 12 using methods commonly used in the prior art.

[0034] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
