Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of charging piles, and in particular relates to a vertical charging pile with an automatic vending function. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of new energy vehicles, the number of charging piles for new energy vehicles has also increased, but most of the existing charging piles are located in remote places to reduce construction costs. When car owners use charging piles, their vehicles cannot move, which is inconvenient for travel. When car owners need to shop, it is difficult to meet their shopping needs, which is extremely inconvenient.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, the patent document with publication number CN213676416U discloses a simple vertical AC charging pile, which prevents the owner's mobile phone from running out of power and causing the owner to be unable to pay by setting a mobile phone charging port at the front end of the charging pile, thereby enriching the functions of the charging pile and improving the practicality of the charging pile. However, when the owner has a shopping need while charging the car, the charging pile cannot meet the owner's needs. If a vending machine is set up near the charging pile to meet the owner's shopping needs, it is necessary to set up refrigeration modules separately on the vending machine and the charging pile to ensure the refrigeration function of the vending machine and the heat dissipation effect of the charging pile, resulting in a sharp increase in the operator's costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vertical charging pile with an automatic vending function to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In response to the problems in the prior art, the utility model proposes a vertical charging pile with an automatic vending function, which satisfies the charging and shopping needs of car owners through the vending module and the charging module, and reduces the operator's cost while ensuring the refrigeration function of the vending module and the heat dissipation effect of the charging module by having the vending module and the charging module share a refrigeration module.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows: a vertical charging pile with an automatic vending function, connected to the mains, includes a charging pile body installed on the ground, the charging pile body includes a vending module, a charging module and a control module, the vending module includes a display window arranged on the front, a first operating panel and a pickup port; the charging module includes a charging bin, the charging bin is provided with a retractable cable, one end of the cable is provided with a charging gun; the control module is electrically connected to the vending module, the charging module and the mains; the charging gun is arranged in the charging bin, the charging gun is taken out of the charging bin when in use, and the charging gun is put back into the charging bin after use, so as to prevent the charging gun from being exposed to the sun and rain when idle, thereby extending the service life of the charging gun.

[0007] It also includes a refrigeration module disposed on the top of the charging pile body, the refrigeration module includes a compressor, a plurality of evaporators, a condenser and a refrigerant, the compressor, the condenser and the plurality of evaporators are connected in a circular manner in sequence through a pipeline, and the refrigerant circulates in the pipeline;

[0008] A plurality of the evaporators are installed in the charging pile body, and perform heat exchange with the vending module and the charging module respectively, so that the vending module and the charging module share a refrigeration module. This reduces the operator's cost while meeting the shopping needs of car owners and ensuring the refrigeration function of the vending module and the heat dissipation effect of the charging module.

[0009] The vending module also includes a storage bin, and at least one evaporator is disposed in the storage bin to absorb the heat in the storage bin; the charging module includes one or more heating elements, and the heating element exchanges heat with at least one evaporator. Since the storage bin needs to maintain a low temperature environment, the heating element generates more heat when working. The storage bin and the heating element are cooled / cooled by a separate evaporator, which effectively improves the cooling effect of the storage bin and the heat dissipation effect of the heating element.

[0010] The refrigeration module further includes two conversion joints, one end of which is provided with a first opening, and the other end of which is provided with a second opening corresponding to the plurality of evaporators, and the two ends of the evaporators are respectively connected to the second openings of different conversion joints. The conversion joints enable the plurality of evaporators to be connected in parallel, thereby preventing the plurality of evaporators from failing to work when a single evaporator fails, thereby improving the reliability of the refrigeration module.

[0011] Preferably, the evaporator includes a zigzag heat exchange pipe, the heat exchange pipe of the evaporator located in the storage bin is in direct contact with the air in the storage bin; the heat exchange pipe of the evaporator that performs heat exchange with the heating element is in direct contact with the heating element. The zigzag heat exchange pipe increases the surface area of ​​the zigzag pipe for heat exchange, thereby improving the cooling / heat dissipation efficiency of the evaporator.

[0012] Specifically, the heating element is located at the top of the heat exchange pipe, and an insulating layer is provided between the two. When the heat exchange pipe and the heating element perform heat exchange, due to the low temperature of the heat exchange pipe, the hot air near the heating element is easily cooled to form water droplets on the surface of the heat exchange pipe. When the heating element is located at the top of the heat exchange pipe, it can prevent the heating element from being contacted by water droplets, thereby improving the safety of the heating element; the insulating layer is used to prevent leakage of electricity when the heating element fails, further improving the safety of the heating unit.

[0013] Preferably, the refrigeration module further comprises a heat dissipation component, which is mounted on the top of the condenser and is used to dissipate heat from the condenser. The heat dissipation component may be a fan, which is used to discharge the heat of the condenser to the outside.

The heat dissipation component is used to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser, so that the refrigerant in the condenser can be cooled quickly.

[0014] Preferably, the refrigeration module further comprises a water tank, in which the refrigerant is contained and connected to the pipe at the outlet of the condenser. Since the refrigerant in the refrigeration module will be lost after a period of use, the water tank is used to replenish the refrigerant in the refrigeration module to ensure that the refrigerant in the refrigeration module is sufficient, thereby ensuring the refrigeration / heat dissipation effect of the refrigeration module.

[0015] Specifically, a third opening is provided at the bottom of the peripheral side of the water tank, and a one-way valve is provided in the third opening. Since used refrigerant will produce impurities to a certain extent, the one-way valve is used to prevent the used refrigerant from flowing into the water tank, which can ensure that the water tank replenishes the refrigerant to the refrigeration module while preventing the refrigerant in the water tank from being contaminated.

[0016] Preferably, a gas-liquid separator is further provided at the inlet of the compressor, one end of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the outlet ends of the plurality of evaporators, and the other end is connected to the inlet end of the compressor. Since the refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator to become gaseous, and the refrigeration module generates water vapor during use, the gas-liquid separator is used to separate the gaseous refrigerant into gas and liquid, preventing water vapor from entering the compressor and causing damage to the compressor, thereby increasing the service life of the compressor.

[0017] Preferably, the charging module further comprises a cable reel, the cable reel comprising a rotatably connected disc body, the cable is wound on the disc body, and the cable is extended or retracted by the forward and reverse rotation of the disc body. The cable reel enables the charging pile to store longer cables by winding the cable on the disc body, thereby increasing the coverage range of the charging gun and extending the charging range of the charging pile.

[0018] Specifically, the cable reel further includes a driving motor, the output end of which is drivingly connected to the reel body to drive the reel body to rotate forward and reversely. The driving motor enables the charging gun to automatically extend and retract, thereby improving the convenience of using the charging gun.

[0019] Preferably, the charging pile body further comprises a power generation device arranged on the top, and a power storage device arranged inside, the power generation device is electrically connected to the power storage device, and the power storage device is also electrically connected to the control module.
