[0024] 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 without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Since the traditional charging plug 2 and the power cord 3 are directly hung on the charging pile, the power cord 3 will be dragged on the ground when the charging plug 2 is used for charging. After long-term use, the power cord 3 is seriously worn and easily causes certain safety hazards. In order to reduce the wear of the power cord 3 when it is retracted and extended, and to extend the service life of the power cord 3, reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The utility model provides an outdoor charging pile, which consists of a pile body 1, two charging plugs 2, two power cords 3 and a retracting mechanism 4. The two charging plugs 2 are installed on both sides of the pile body 1, the power cord 3 is arranged at the bottom of the charging plug 2 and the other end thereof is electrically connected to the pile body 1, and the retracting mechanism 4 is arranged on the pile body 1 for respectively reeling in or releasing the power cords 3 at the bottom of the two charging plugs 2.

[0026] In order to make it more convenient for users to charge with the charging plug 2 without dragging the power cord 3, and improve the safety of use, this is achieved through the retracting mechanism 4, including installation vertical grooves 41 opened on both sides of the pile body 1, and winding drums 42 respectively arranged at the bottom of the two charging plugs 2, and one end of the winding drum 42 passes through the pile body 1 and is rotatably connected to it and extends into the installation vertical groove 41, the power cord 3 is wound and rolled on the winding drum 42, and a number of equidistantly arranged anti-skid pads 43 are fixedly bonded to the winding drum 42, and the anti-skid pads 43 can provide anti-skid and protective effects for the power cord 3, and a support baffle 44 fixed to the pile body 1 is rotatably arranged at the other end of the winding drum 42 through a bearing, and a driving component 45 for driving the winding drum 42 to rotate forward and reverse to retract and release the power cord 3 is arranged on the inner side of the installation vertical groove 41, and the retracting mechanism 4 also includes a wiping component 46 arranged at the bottom of one side of the winding drum 42 for cleaning the surface of the power cord 3.

[0027] In order to drive the reel 42 to rotate forward and reverse to reel in or unwind the power cord 3, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, the driving assembly 45 includes a rotating shaft 451 fixedly arranged at one end of the winding drum 42 and located in the vertical installation groove 41, and the rotating shaft 451 rotates with the pile body 1 through a bearing at one end away from the winding drum 42, and a transmission gear 452 fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 451, and a vertical rack 453 is meshed and transmitted on one side of the transmission gear 452. A servo cylinder 454 fixed to the pile body 1 and used to drive the vertical rack 453 to move up and down is arranged at the inner bottom of the vertical installation groove 41. The servo cylinder 454 is automatically controlled by a controller. When the charging plug 2 is pulled out or inserted, the controller transmits information to the servo cylinder 454, thereby driving the servo cylinder 454. The output shaft of the servo cylinder 454 pulls the vertical rack 453 upward or downward. The control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming by technicians in this field, and the utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices.

[0028] In order to effectively clean the stains on the power cord 3 and reduce the corrosion of the outer skin of the power cord 3, refer to Figure 4Specifically, the wiping assembly 46 includes a horizontal rack 461 arranged at the bottom of the transmission gear 452, and the horizontal rack 461 and the vertical rack 453 are staggered with each other, a sliding horizontal groove opened on the side wall of the pile body 1 is arranged on one side of the horizontal rack 461, and a connecting cross bar 463 sliding with the sliding horizontal groove is arranged at the bottom of one side of the winding drum 42, and one end of the connecting cross bar 463 passes through the sliding horizontal groove and is fixedly connected to the horizontal rack 461, and a fixing seat 464 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the connecting cross bar 463, and a movable magnetic suction is arranged on one side of the fixing seat 464. The fixed seat 464 and the movable seat 465 are respectively fixedly bonded with wiping sponges 466 on the inner sides thereof, and the cross-sections of the two wiping sponges 466 are set to be semi-circular, and the two wiping sponges 466 wrap the power cord 3. The fixed seat 464 and the movable seat 465 are connected by magnetic attraction to facilitate the replacement of the two wiping sponges 466. A limiting vertical frame 467 is fixed on one side of the fixed seat 464, and limiting wheels 462 are rotatably set on the inner sides of the two ends of the limiting vertical frame 467, and the power cord 3 is slidably connected between the two limiting wheels 462.

[0029] When the electric vehicle is charged using the charging plug 2, the servo cylinder 454 starts to operate at the same time, and the output shaft of the servo cylinder 454 pulls the vertical rack 453 downward, and the vertical rack 453 drives the transmission gear 452 meshing with it to rotate, and the transmission gear 452 drives the rotating shaft 451 at its axis to rotate, and the rotating shaft 451 drives the winding drum 42 at one end to rotate, and the winding drum 42 loosens the power cord 3 wound thereon, thereby pulling the power cord 3 through the charging plug 2, and the power cord 3 slides and is pulled out between the fixed seat 464 and the movable seat 465, and the charging plug 2 is inserted into the charging interface of the electric vehicle.

[0030] At the same time, the transmission gear 452 drives the horizontal rack 461 at its bottom to move, the horizontal rack 461 drives the connecting cross bar 463 at one end to move, and the connecting cross bar 463 drives the fixed seat 464 and the movable seat 465 at one end to move, thereby driving the two wiping sponges 466 to slide on the outside of the power cord 3, so as to wipe the outer surface of the power cord 3. After the electric car is charged, when the charging plug 2 is inserted back into the charging pile body 1, the servo cylinder 454 is driven, and the output shaft of the servo cylinder 454 pushes the vertical rack 453 upward, which is opposite to the above-mentioned transmission method, thereby winding the power cord 3.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
