[0029] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a charging pile is provided, which includes a main body 10 and a gun holder 20. Among them, a mounting portion 11 is provided on the main body 10. The gun holder 20 has a plurality of different models, and each different model of the gun holder 20 can be selectively and detachably connected to the mounting portion 11. Each different model of the gun holder 20 can be selectively and detachably connected to the mounting portion 11, which means that each different model of the gun holder 20 can be detachably connected to the mounting portion 11, but each different model of the gun holder 20 can only select one of them to be installed on the gun holder 20.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, different types of gun holders 20 are detachably connected to the mounting portion 11, that is, the charging pile can be used to place different types of charging guns 30 by replacing different types of gun holders 20. Therefore, when adapting different types of charging guns 30, it is not necessary to open different types of charging pile molds, but only different types of gun holder 20 molds are needed, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the charging pile.

[0031] Further, the mounting portion 11 includes a first opening 111 , and the gun holder 20 is detachably connected to the first opening 111 and seals a gap between the first opening 111 and the gun holder 20 .

[0032] Specifically, the first opening 111 is provided so that the charging gun 30 does not interfere with the main body 10 after being inserted into the gun holder 20. At the same time, the gun holder 20 is detachably connected to the first opening 111, so that the charging pile can replace gun holders 20 of different models to adapt to the model of the charging gun 30. In addition, the gun holder 20 can seal the first opening 111 to prevent the external environment from affecting the charging pile main body 10.

[0033] Furthermore, the main body 10 is provided with an installation cavity 12, and the gun seat 20 includes a mounting seat 22 and a gun seat body 21, the mounting seat 22 is arranged in the installation cavity 12 and is located at the first opening 111, the gun seat body 21 is arranged outside the main body 10 and extends along the first opening 111 to the installation cavity 12, and is detachably connected to the mounting seat 22.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting seat 22 is installed in the mounting cavity 12 and is used to adapt to the gun seat body 21, that is, different models of gun seats 20 need to be adapted to different models of mounting seats 22 and gun seat bodies 21. When it is necessary to adapt to other models of charging guns 30, it is necessary to replace the corresponding models of mounting seats 22 and gun seat bodies 21 at the same time.

[0035] Furthermore, the gun seat body 21 includes an outer flange 211, which abuts against the outer surface of the main body 10, and an annular groove 212 is provided on one side of the outer flange 211 close to the mounting portion 11. The annular groove 212 is arranged outside the outer periphery of the first opening 111, and a sealing ring 40 is filled in the annular groove 212.

[0036] Specifically, when the gun seat body 21 is connected to the main body 10, the sealing ring 40 can close the gap between the outer flange 211 and the main body 10 to prevent external factors such as dust, water or other impurities from entering the installation cavity 12 of the main body 10 through the gap between the outer flange 211 and the main body 10 and affecting the charging pile.

[0037] In order to prevent the gun holder 20 and the main body 10 from becoming loose when being connected, the charging pile in this embodiment further includes a locking mechanism, which is used to lock the gun holder 20 on the main body 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a plurality of locking members 61, a plurality of connecting holes 62 are provided on the mounting seat 22, a fixing hole 63 adapted to the plurality of connecting holes 62 is provided on the gun seat body 21, and the plurality of locking members 61 are respectively and sequentially inserted into the plurality of connecting holes 62 and the plurality of fixing holes 63.

[0039] Specifically, when the gun base 20 needs to be installed, the mounting base 22 is first installed at the first opening 111 of the main body 10, and then the gun base body 21 is locked on the mounting base 22 through a plurality of locking members 61. When the gun base 20 needs to be replaced with another model, the locking members 61 on the gun base body 21 are first removed, and then the gun base body 21 and the mounting base 22 are removed, and replaced with gun base bodies 21 and mounting bases 22 of other models. It should be noted that different models of gun base bodies 21 and different models of mounting bases 22 have different shapes, and the connection holes 62 and the fixing holes 63 are arranged at different positions. In this embodiment, the locking members 61 include screws.

[0040] In addition, the locking mechanism includes a locking buckle 64 and a locking rod 65 arranged in the main body 10, the locking buckle 64 is connected to the locking rod 65, and a limiting protrusion 66 is arranged on the side of the gun seat 20 close to the main body 10. The locking rod 65 has a locking position in which the locking buckle 64 is driven by an external force to lock the limiting protrusion 66 and an unlocking position in which the locking buckle 64 is driven by an external force to release the limiting protrusion 66.

[0041] Specifically, after the gun base body 21 and the mounting base 22 are locked by screws, in order to further improve the connection stability between the gun base 20 and the main body 10, the locking rod 65 is operated to move to the locking position so that the locking buckle 64 is locked in the limiting protrusion 66 to improve the connection stability between the gun base 20 and the main body 10. When the model of the gun base 20 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to operate the locking rod 65 to move to the unlocking position so that the locking buckle 64 is separated from the limiting protrusion 66, and then replace the mounting base 22 and the gun base body 21.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the charging pile also includes a charging gun 30, which is electrically connected to the main body 10. The charging gun 30 has multiple different models corresponding to multiple different models of gun holders 20. The charging gun 30 has a first position inserted in the gun holder 20 of the corresponding model and a second position away from the gun holder 20 of the corresponding model.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the model of the gun holder 20 needs to be changed, the model of the charging gun 30 can be changed at the same time, so as to facilitate the adaptation of the end user. In addition, when the end user needs to use the charging gun 30, the charging gun 30 can be moved from the first position to the second position, and after the end user has used the charging gun 30, the charging gun 30 can be placed back to the first position from the second position. Of course, in some other embodiments, such as the attached Figure 3 As shown, the charging gun 30 may not be arranged on the charging pile, and the gun holder 20 is electrically connected to the charging pile. The end user may insert the charging gun 30 brought by the end user into the gun holder 20 to charge the device.

[0044] Furthermore, a first channel 213 and a limiting hole 214 are provided on the gun seat 20. The first channel 213 passes through the gun seat 20. The charging gun 30 is inserted into the first channel 213. The limiting hole 214 extends along the radial direction of the first channel 213 and is connected to the first channel 213. The charging pile also includes a limiting member 50, which is passed through the limiting hole 214 and applies a resisting force to the charging gun 30.

[0045] Specifically, after the charging gun 30 is placed in the first channel 213, due to the effect of gravity, the charging gun 30 has an inclination to slide in the direction of gravity. If the friction force provided by the first channel 213 to the charging gun 30 is insufficient, it is easy to cause the charging gun 30 to detach from the first channel 213, causing the charging gun 30 to fall and collide with the ground, thereby causing damage to the charging gun 30. In this embodiment, in order to solve the above problem, a limiting member 50 is installed on the gun seat 20, and when the charging gun 30 is inserted in the first channel 213, the limiting member 50 can apply a certain resisting force to the charging gun 30, thereby preventing the charging gun 30 from slipping. In this embodiment, the limiting member 50 is a bolt.

[0046] In addition, some models of the gun holder 20 have a charging gun connection port 70, which is disposed in the first channel 213 and is electrically connected to the charging pile. When the end user needs to charge the device, the end user needs to insert the charging gun 30 into the first channel 213 and connect it to the charging gun connection port 70 to charge the device.

[0047] In order to prevent the limiting member 50 from applying too much resistance to the charging gun 30 so as to damage the outer surface of the charging gun 30 , in this embodiment, a limiting groove 31 is provided on the charging gun 30 , and the limiting member 50 resists against the limiting groove 31 .

[0048] Specifically, the limiting groove 31 is recessed along the first direction, and the limiting member 50 presses against the limiting groove 31 to apply a pressing force to the charging gun 30. Compared with when the limiting groove 31 is not provided, the pressing force of the limiting member 50 on the charging gun 30 is reduced, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the limiting member 50 causing damage to the outer surface of the charging gun 30.

[0049] In addition, in order to avoid the problem that the charging gun 30 is deflected after being subjected to the resisting force applied by the limiting member 50 due to the uneven outer circumferential surface of the charging gun 30 , in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the limiting groove 31 is a flat surface.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the first channel 213 sequentially passes through the gun base body 21 and the mounting base 22. The mounting base 22 is a prism, and the connection holes 62 are provided at the four vertices of the mounting base 22. Four corresponding fixing holes 63 are provided on the outer flange 211 of the gun base body 21. Four screws are sequentially passed through the four connection holes 62 and the four fixing holes 63 from the mounting cavity 12 to fix the gun base 20. In some models of the gun base 20, a limiting protrusion 66 is provided on the gun base body 21, and the limiting protrusion 66 is combined with the locking buckle 64 to further fix the gun base 20. At the same time, a charging gun connection port 70 is provided in the first channel 213 to fix the charging gun 30 and supply power to the charging gun 30. In some other models of gun holders 20, the charging gun 30 is set on the charging pile, a limiting groove 31 is set on the charging gun 30, and a limiting hole 214 is set on the gun holder body 21. The bolt passes through the limiting hole 214 and presses against the limiting groove 31 of the charging gun 30, providing a resisting force for the charging gun 30 to prevent the charging gun 30 from slipping.

[0051] In summary, compared with the prior art, the charging pile of this embodiment includes a plurality of models of gun holders 20 of the charging pile, and one of the models to be used can be selected to be detachably installed on the charging pile to adapt to the model of the charging gun 30, thereby avoiding the need to open multiple molds for the main body 10 of the charging pile, which makes the manufacturing cost of the charging pile too high. In addition, in order to prevent the gun holder 20 from being connected to the main body 10 not being firm enough or the gun holder 20 and the main body 10 from having poor sealing performance due to insufficient connection strength, a locking mechanism is provided in this embodiment, and the locking mechanism can lock the gun holder 20 and the main body 10 twice independently to improve the connection stability between the main body 10 and the gun holder 20. In addition, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the charging gun 30 from slipping when hanging in the gun holder 20, a limiting hole 214 is provided on the gun holder 20, and the limiting member 50 is pressed against the charging gun 30 through the limiting hole 214 to prevent the charging gun 30 from slipping.

[0052] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0053] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
