Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric bicycle charging, in particular to a charging gun placement basket and an electric bicycle charging pile. Background Art

[0002] Current electric bicycles require a matching power adapter when charging, with one end connected to the charging socket and the other end connected to the charging port on the electric bicycle. The charging pile is a one-to-many type, such as the electric vehicle charging pile disclosed in the invention patent with authorization announcement number CN109130934B. Figure 1 As shown, a controller is provided in the charging pile body, and the charging pile body is connected to multiple charging sockets (i.e., one to many), and each charging socket can be used to charge multiple electric bicycles at the same time. This type of charging is also conventional charging, and generally takes about 6-8 hours to fully charge. Electric vehicle charging piles have fast charging, but there are no mature fast charging products for electric bicycles. In the electric vehicle charging pile, when the charging gun is not in use, the gun head of the charging gun is inserted into the gun seat on the charging pile. For electric bicycle fast charging piles, the electric bicycle can be fully charged in a few minutes, and the plug-in and unplug frequency of the charging gun is relatively high. Therefore, if the designed structure causes inconvenience to the user (such as the charging gun of an electric car, which needs to be aligned with the socket jack to be inserted into place), on the one hand, frequent plug-in and unplugging can easily damage the charging gun and the gun seat, and on the other hand, the user is likely to place it at random after charging is completed because it is troublesome to reset the charging gun.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Embodiment of the charging gun placement basket of the utility model:

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the charging gun placement basket includes a basket body, the upper end of the basket body is an open mouth, and the basket body has an inner cavity for the charging gun 2 to be inserted through the open mouth. The basket body includes a front plate body, a rear plate body 11, a left plate body, a right plate body and a bottom plate. The upper parts of the left plate body and the right plate body are both provided with an arc groove 13 for supporting the charging gun 2. A water drop hole 16 is provided at the bottom of the basket body to prevent water accumulation in the basket.

[0028] The upper end of the front plate is lower than the upper end of the rear plate 11. The upper part of the rear plate 11 is provided with two screw holes 12 for fixing the rear plate 11. The rear plate 11 has an ear plate 14 protruding downward from the bottom plate, and the ear plate 14 is also provided with screw holes. The placement basket 1 is fixed to the wall by expansion screws. The shell of the matching charging pile is also fixed to the wall.

[0029] The side wall of the basket body is provided with a magnet, which is used to cooperate with the induction switch on the charging gun 2 to determine whether the charging gun 2 is placed in place. The induction switch can be a reed switch or a Hall sensor. A magnet card slot 15 is provided on the rear side of the basket body, that is, the rear side of the rear plate 11, for installing the magnet. Several magnets can be provided and arranged in the horizontal direction, or a bar magnet can be provided, and its length direction can be arranged in the horizontal direction. The charging gun 2 can be inserted from the left or right side of the placement basket 1. The magnet can be integrally formed during the injection molding of the basket body; it can also be made into a card slot and inserted, or installed by pasting.

[0030] Example of an electric bicycle charging station:

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the electric bicycle charging pile includes a charging pile body and a placement basket 1. The charging pile body includes a charging pile shell and a charging gun 2. The placement basket 1 is used to place the charging gun 2. Its structure is the same as the placement basket 1 structure of the above-mentioned charging gun 2 placement basket 1 embodiment, and will not be repeated.

[0032] A cable through hole is provided at the bottom of the charging pile housing for the cable of the charging gun 2 to pass through. A reed switch is provided on the charging gun 2 as an induction switch, which cooperates with the magnet provided on the placement basket 1 to determine whether the charging gun 2 is placed in place.

[0033] After charging the electric bicycle, the user can easily insert the charging gun 2 into the placement basket 1. Because the upper opening of the placement basket 1 is slightly larger, whether the charging gun 2 is inserted vertically or tilted (generally, the user will tilt the charging gun 2 to a certain angle, which is more in line with the operating habits), the charging gun 2 can be easily put into place. Unlike the plug-in connection between the charging gun and the gun holder of a conventional electric vehicle, it is necessary to align the empty space before insertion. The user directly throws the charging gun 2 into the placement basket 1 with the gun head facing down. The charging gun 2 itself has a certain weight and is easy to put in place. After the charging gun 2 is placed, the charging gun 2 will be tilted to a certain extent under the drag of the charging cable on the outside. The gun head of the charging gun 2 just rests on the inner wall (left plate or right plate) of the placement basket 1. The upper part of the charging gun 2 is close to the arc groove 13 of the placement basket 1, which is just supported by the arc groove 13, and the charging gun 2 can be stabilized in the placement basket 1. When someone uses it again, it can be easily taken out upwards.

[0034] The above-mentioned induction component is set to prevent users from throwing the charging gun 2 on the ground without returning it to its place. After the charging gun 2 is placed in the placement basket 1, the reed switch on the charging gun 2 is closed by the magnetic field of the magnet, generating a signal to the controller of the charging pile, thereby judging whether the charging gun 2 has returned to its place. If the charging gun 2 cannot be returned to its place within a certain period of time after charging, it can be determined that the previous user's operating behavior is not standardized, and a record will be made, affecting his credit. Measures such as increasing his subsequent usage rate can be adopted. This specific measure is not the focus of the present utility model.

[0035] The charging pile housing includes a front housing 4 and a rear housing 3, which are interlocked and connected by a number of screws. The front housing 4 and the rear housing 3 are both circular housings. A cable through hole is provided at the bottom of the rear housing 3, and a ventilation hole 31 is also provided on one side of the cable through hole for heat dissipation.

[0036] The front side of the front shell 4 is provided with an annular LED light strip 6 and a lampshade 5. The LED light strip 6 is provided with a plurality of lamp beads along its length. The rear side of the lampshade 5 is provided with a plurality of screw columns 51 distributed along the circumferential direction. The screws inserted from the rear side of the front shell 4 cooperate with the screw columns 51 to fix the lampshade 5.

[0037] The front shell 4 is provided with an annular light groove 41, and the LED light strip 6 is wound around the outer circumference of the ring body 42 (which can be understood as a partial structure of the annular light groove 41, and its inner groove wall), that is, the width direction of the LED light strip 6 is along the central axis direction of the front shell 4, and the inner side surface in the thickness direction is attached to the ring body 42. This installation method is conducive to making the LED light strip 6 into a circular ring form, but the light emitting direction of the lamp beads is toward the outer groove wall of the annular light groove 41. By making the lampshade 5 into a conical structure, the whole is still annular. After the lampshade 5 is inserted into the annular light groove 41, the light of the lamp beads shines on the lampshade 5. When the user looks at the front shell 4 of the charging pile from a distance, he can still see the light effect of the LED light strip 6. The annular LED light strip 6 is not only aesthetically pleasing. It can be further combined with the charging progress by controlling the proportion of the light-emitting lamp beads to represent the percentage of the charging amount. In this way, the user can still clearly see the charging progress at a distance from the charging pile (for example: when fully charged, the lamp beads on the LED light strip 6 are all on, forming a bright ring; if charged to 50%, it will present a half-circle effect).
