Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging piles, in particular to an automatic cable storage device for an intelligent charging pile. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of electric vehicles and the development of electrification technology, charging piles, as important supporting facilities for electric vehicles, play an important role in providing electric energy for electric vehicles. Compared with traditional gas stations, the installation of charging piles is simpler and faster, and does not require a large amount of investment and construction like gas stations. Charging piles can be installed in various venues as needed to facilitate the charging needs of electric vehicles. In the prior art, due to the influence of driving skills or external environmental factors, the charging vehicle is likely to be far away from the charging pile after parking. Therefore, in order to facilitate the connection between the charging pile and the electrical equipment, the charging cable of some charging piles is designed to be longer. After the charging pile is used, the charging cable needs to be manually wound on the take-up reel. The winding process is completely dependent on manpower and takes a lot of time, resulting in some people discarding the charging cable at will after charging is completed, which makes the probability of damage to the charging cable higher.

[0003] The prior art CN220996166U discloses a charging pile with a guiding function. When in use, the work instructions are transmitted to the controller through the touch operation screen, the controller starts the charger, and charges the electrical equipment through the charging cable and the charging gun. After the charging is completed, the motor is started, and the right end of the charging cable is moved by the guide plate to rotate in a circle with the winding reel as the center. At the same time, the left end of the charging cable is fixed to the position of the winding reel. Under the guidance of the guide plate, the charging cable is pressed into the winding groove of the winding reel to guide the winding process of the charging cable, so that the charging pile wire can be wound on the winding reel more accurately and quickly.

[0004] The prior art reels the cable through a guiding mechanism, but when the guiding mechanism is at the highest point of the flip during the reeling process, the cable wound on the reel will fall downward due to its weight, which will affect the reeling efficiency of the guiding mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an automatic cable storage device for an intelligent charging pile, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when a guiding mechanism reels the cable, the cable falls downward due to gravity during the reeling process, thereby affecting the reeling efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: It includes a charging cabinet, a cable, a charging gun, and a wire reel for winding the cable. The wire reel has a wire groove, and a guiding mechanism for winding the cable into the wire groove is rotatably arranged on the wire reel. A connecting rod is slidably arranged on the guiding mechanism, a stabilizing ring for abutting against the cable is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod, and an elastic member is arranged on the connecting rod to make the stabilizing ring elastically float along with the winding of the cable.

[0007] Further, the guiding mechanism includes a turntable and a guiding plate. The turntable is rotatably connected to the outer arc surface of a cylinder in the middle of the wire reel, a guiding plate is arranged on the outer edge of the turntable, and the guiding plate is attached to the outer arc surface of the wire reel.

[0008] Further, a roller is arranged at one end of the guiding plate, and the roller is rotatably connected to the guiding plate through a rotating shaft.

[0009] Further, the connecting rod, the stabilizing ring, and the elastic member are arranged at the other end of the guiding plate.

[0010] Further, the elastic member is a spring.

[0011] Further, it further includes a driving device for driving the turntable to rotate. The driving device includes a driving motor, a driving gear, and a transmission gear. The driving motor is arranged in the charging cabinet, the driving gear is arranged at the output end of the driving motor, the transmission gear is fixedly connected to the turntable and meshes with the driving gear.

[0012] Further, a charging gun socket is arranged on one side of the charging cabinet close to the wire reel.

[0013] Further, a display screen is also arranged on the charging cabinet.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows;

[0015] It solves the problem that in the prior art, when the guiding mechanism winds the cable, the cable will fall downward due to the action of gravity during the winding process, which affects the winding efficiency. The utility model arranges a stabilizing ring, a connecting rod, and an elastic member on the guiding mechanism. During the rotation of the guiding mechanism, the cable is wound into the wire groove. At the same time, the elastic force of the elastic member makes the stabilizing ring abut against the collected cable, so that the cable will not loosen, and the stabilizing ring rotates synchronously with the guiding mechanism. The elastic member will also change the compression degree along with the winding of the cable, so that the height of the stabilizing ring can also be changed, that is, it does not affect the operation of the guiding mechanism and always keeps abutting against the cable, realizing that the wound cable can maintain stability and will not loosen during the cable winding work, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire winding process, and improving the efficiency and quality of cable winding.

Specific embodiments

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined or replaced according to the actual situation. For the same or similar concepts or processes, they may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present utility model provides an automatic cable storage device for an intelligent charging pile, including a charging cabinet 1, a cable 2, a charging gun 3, and a cable reel 4 for winding the cable 2. The cable reel 4 has a cable groove 41. A guiding mechanism 5 for winding the cable 2 into the cable groove 41 is rotatably provided on the cable reel 4. A connecting rod 51 is slidably provided on the guiding mechanism 5. A stabilizing ring 52 for abutting against the cable 2 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 51. An elastic member 53 is provided on the connecting rod 51 to make the stabilizing ring 52 elastically float with the winding of the cable 2.

[0025] The charging cabinet 1 is equipped with a power module, a system control module, a communication module, and a safety protection module. The DC fast charging pile converts alternating current into high-voltage direct current through the power module and transmits electrical energy to the battery of the electric vehicle through the charging gun 3 interface. The control system monitors parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature during the charging process in real time, adjusts the charging power, and ensures the safe and efficient charging of the battery. The communication module realizes data exchange between the charging pile and the electric vehicle to ensure the coordination and control of the charging process. The safety protection module is used to prevent abnormal situations such as abnormal voltage and overheating temperature, and cut off the power supply to the power module. The power of the power module in the charging cabinet 1 is transmitted to the electric vehicle through the cable 2 and the charging gun 3. Currently, after the vehicle owner finishes charging, they will forget to put the charging gun 3 back into the charging cabinet 1 or there is no device for storing the cable 2 on the existing charging cabinet 1. The cable 2 is generally placed on the ground or hung beside the charging cabinet 1. In the present utility model, a wire reel 4 is installed on the charging cabinet 1, and a guiding mechanism 5 for continuously winding the cable 2 into the wire groove 41 by rotation is installed on the wire reel 4. At the same time, in order to prevent the cable 2 being wound by the guiding mechanism 5 from sagging and loosening due to the action of gravity during the winding process, resulting in difficult and unsmooth winding of the cable 2 by the guiding mechanism 5, a sliding connecting rod 51 is arranged on the guiding mechanism 5. The position of the connecting rod 51 is in the middle of the wire groove 41. A stabilizing ring 52 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 51, which is semi-circular and matches the cable 2. A spring is used as the elastic member 53, and the spring is installed at the rear end of the stabilizing ring 52. Through the elasticity of the elastic member 53, the stabilizing ring 52 abuts against the collected cable 2, so that the cable 2 will not loosen, and the stabilizing ring 52 rotates synchronously with the guiding mechanism 5. The elastic member 53 will also change the compression degree as the cable 2 is wound, so that the height of the stabilizing ring 52 can also be changed, which neither affects the operation of the guiding mechanism nor always keeps abutting against the cable 2, realizing that the wound cable 2 can maintain stability and will not loosen during the winding work of the cable 2, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire winding process, and improving the efficiency and quality of the winding of the cable 2.

[0026] Such as Figure 2 And 4 The guiding mechanism 5 includes a turntable 54 installed on one side of the wire reel 4 and rotating with the wire reel 4. A bearing is arranged on the turntable 54, and the bearing is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the turntable 54. A guiding plate 55 is arranged on the turntable 54. The two ends of the guiding plate 55 extend in the right-angle direction of the edge of the turntable 54 and are placed outside the wire groove 41. In the structure of the existing charging cabinet 1, the charging cable 2 extends out of the charging cabinet 1, passes through the wire reel 4 and extends into the wire groove 41. When the turntable 54 rotates, the guiding plate 55 will rotate synchronously, and the rotating guiding plate 55 will wind the cable 2 into the wire groove 41 to complete the storage of the cable 2. Further, in order to change the sliding friction between the guiding plate 55 and the wire reel 4 into rolling friction and reduce wear, a roller 56 is arranged at one end of the guiding plate 55, and the roller 56 abuts against the outer arc surface of the wire reel 4.

[0027] The connecting rod 51, the stabilizing ring 52 and the elastic member 53 of the present utility model are arranged at the end of the guiding plate 55, that is, the end symmetrical to the drum 56, so that the forces exerted by the elastic member 53 and the stabilizing ring 52 can be symmetrical with the guiding plate 55, making the force on the cable 2 relatively uniform. When the guiding plate 55 is at the uppermost end of the take-up reel 4, at this time, the influence of gravity on the cable 2 is the greatest, and the cable 2 will sag at the lowermost end after being wound. At this time, the stabilizing ring 52 is just located at the lowermost end of the turntable 54, that is, just supporting the lowermost end of the cable 2, effectively preventing the cable 2 from sagging due to the influence of gravity, realizing that the wound cable 2 can maintain stability and will not loosen during the winding work of the cable 2, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire winding process, and improving the efficiency and quality of the winding of the cable 2.

[0028] As Figure 4 described, in order to keep the elastic member 53 and the stabilizing ring 52 stable, a first base 58 is provided on the guiding plate 55. The first base 58 is provided with a snap ring for fixing the elastic member 53. A second base 59 is provided at the rear end of the stabilizing ring 52. The structure and usage mode of the second base 59 are the same as those of the first and second ones, and it also has a snap ring for fixing the elastic member 53. The two ends of the spring are respectively snapped into the first base 58 and the second base 59 to ensure that the two ends of the spring member will not shake, improving the stability of the elastic member 53.

[0029] The guiding plate 55 for winding the cable 2 and the stabilizing ring 52 for stabilizing the cable 2 are driven by a driving device 6. The driving device 6 includes a driving motor 61, a driving gear 63 and a transmission gear. The driving motor 61 is arranged in the charging cabinet 1. The driving gear 63 is arranged at the output end of the driving motor 61. The transmission gear is fixedly connected to the turntable 54 and meshes with the driving gear 63. The driving motor 61 is arranged inside the charging cabinet 1. When the driving motor 61 works, its output end drives the driving gear 63 to rotate. Since the transmission gear is fixedly connected to the turntable 54 and the transmission gear meshes with the driving gear 63. Therefore, when the driving gear 63 rotates, through the meshing action, it will drive the transmission gear to drive the turntable 54 to rotate. This mechanical transmission is controlled by the system control module in the charging cabinet 1. When the charging is completed, the system controller will automatically sense and drive the driving motor 61 to rotate, providing power for the guiding plate 55 to wind the cable 2.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, a charging gun socket 7 is provided outside the charging cabinet 1 for placing the charging gun 3. A display screen 8 is also installed on the charging cabinet 1 for displaying information such as the charging status, charging time, charged amount and cost.

[0031] In addition to the above preferred embodiments, there are other implementation manners of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
