Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric equipment charging, in particular to a charging plug protection device for electric equipment. Background Art
[0002] Our company's electric lift truck was imported from the United States more than 20 years ago. Many parts have aged and failed due to years of outdoor use, especially the built-in charging plug, which has a poor contact problem. The built-in charging plug cannot be disassembled or repaired. At present, we use a power cord of more than ten meters plus an Anderson charging plug to charge the lift truck. Anderson industrial charging heads are charging plugs for outdoor electric lift trucks, forklifts and other high-power electric equipment.
[0003] Although the Anderson charging plug can achieve the purpose of charging, there are still the following problems: charging needs to be done in sunny weather to prevent the charging plug from getting wet by rain, and it cannot be charged all day; the charging plug needs to be wrapped with plastic cloth at ordinary times to protect it from rain and external forces. Because everyone's work is different, not everyone can properly and effectively wrap the charging plug every time. Sometimes, due to strong winds and heavy rains, the plastic cloth protection fails, shortening the service life of the charging plug. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a charging plug protection device for electric equipment. Utility Model Content
