[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] Next, refer to Figures 1-5A charging pile 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model is described. When the charging pile 100 is used for charging with a vehicle 200, the user does not need to manually insert or pull out the charging gun, and the charging pile 100 is easy to use. The charging pile 100 has a simple structure, does not require additional installation space, and does not require large-scale modifications to the parking space. It can realize the automatic charging function of the parked new energy vehicle 200, improve the user experience, and is particularly suitable for new energy vehicles 200.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a charging pile 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a base assembly 1, a telescopic assembly 2 and a charging connector assembly 3.

[0040] The base assembly 1 can be installed on the mounting surface 300 to fix the charging pile 100 relative to the mounting surface 300, such as the base assembly 1 can be installed on the ground at the parking space. The base assembly 1 can be installed on the mounting surface 300 in a detachable manner, such as Figure 1 As shown, connecting flanges 111 are provided on both sides of the base assembly 1, and connecting flanges 111 are provided with connecting holes 112, so that the connecting flanges 111 can be fixed on the mounting surface 300 by means of connecting pieces passing through the connecting holes 112, which is convenient for installation and facilitates the subsequent disassembly and replacement of the charging pile 100.

[0041] The telescopic assembly 2 is telescopic along the first direction, and thus, when the telescopic assembly 2 is telescopic along the first direction, the distance between the two ends of the telescopic assembly 2 in the first direction can be flexibly adjusted, which is conducive to adjusting the length of the telescopic assembly 2. In addition, one end of the telescopic assembly 2 in the first direction is rotatably connected to the base assembly 1, that is, the telescopic assembly 2 can rotate as a whole relative to the base assembly 1, so as to rotate relative to the mounting surface 300, and thus, the other end of the telescopic assembly 2 in the first direction can rotate relative to the base assembly 1.

[0042] The charging connector assembly 3 is connected to the other end of the telescopic assembly 2 in the first direction. In other words, the telescopic assembly 2 is telescopically connected between the base assembly 1 and the charging connector assembly 3, so that when the telescopic assembly 2 is extended and retracted along the first direction, the length between the charging connector assembly 3 and the base assembly 1 can be flexibly adjusted. At the same time, when the telescopic assembly 2 rotates relative to the base assembly 1, the charging connector assembly 3 can be rotated to different angular positions relative to the base assembly 1.

[0043] Among them, the charging connector assembly 3 includes a charging connector 35. A charging port can be provided at the bottom of the vehicle body. The charging connector 35 can be inserted and mated with the charging port of the vehicle body so that the charging pile 100 can charge the power battery of the vehicle 200. Thus, during actual charging, the charging connector 35 can move relative to the base assembly 1 in the first direction and rotate relative to the base assembly 1 through the telescopic assembly 2. Moreover, the charging connector 35 is arranged to be movable in the second direction, that is, the charging connector 35 can also perform position adjustment in the second direction to flexibly adjust the position of the charging connector 35 to match the position of the charging port and achieve accurate insertion of the charging structure. At the same time, making the charging connector 35 movable in the second direction enables the charging connector 35 to extend for charging operations and also facilitates retraction for storage.

[0044] It should be noted that when the charging pile 100 is actually installed in the parking space, the base assembly 1 can be fixed to the ground of the parking space first. The rear end of the telescopic assembly 2 can be connected to the base assembly 1, and at the same time, the front end of the telescopic assembly 2 is connected to the charging connector assembly 3 so that the charging connector assembly 3 can be arranged close to the vehicle body. Here, the front refers to the direction close to the vehicle 200, and the rear refers to the direction away from the vehicle 200. Among them, the telescopic assembly 2 can be rotated to a direction parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 200.

[0045] The first direction intersects with the second direction. Among them, the first direction is the telescopic direction of the telescopic assembly 2. For example, the first direction is along the horizontal direction. Specifically, when the telescopic assembly 2 is rotated to a direction parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 200, the first direction is the front-back direction of the vehicle. Thus, when the telescopic assembly 2 telescopes, it can drive the charging connector assembly 3 to approach or move away from the vehicle 200, and further make the charging connector 35 closer to the charging port of the vehicle body. Moreover, when the telescopic assembly 2 rotates relative to the base assembly 1, the rotation axis 12 can be along the up-down direction so that the telescopic assembly 2 swings in the horizontal direction, and then the telescopic assembly 2 drives the charging connector assembly 3 to rotate relative to the base, which can also make the charging connector 35 approach or move away from the charging port of the vehicle 200.

[0046] The second direction can be along the up-down direction or a direction inclined relative to the up-down direction and forming a small angle with the up-down direction. Thus, the charging connector 35 can move relative to the telescopic assembly 2 in the up-down direction to approach or move away from the charging port. That is, when the charging connector 35 is adjusted to be located below the charging port through the movement of the telescopic assembly 2, the charging connector 35 can be driven to move upward to approach the charging port for insertion to achieve charging docking, which is convenient for the user to charge the vehicle 200. Therefore, the charging convenience of the user when charging the vehicle 200 can be greatly simplified.

[0047] In addition, when the charging pile 100 is actually in use, the charging pile 100 and the vehicle 200 can be matched and connected through the APP. After the information is matched, the charging pile 100 can automatically drive the charging connector 35 to move relative to the vehicle body, so as to realize the automatic connection between the charging connector 35 and the charging port. There is no need for the user to get out of the car to manually insert and remove the charging gun, which reduces the operation difficulty of the user, saves the operation steps of the user during the charging process, and provides a more convenient vehicle use experience for new energy vehicle owners.

[0048] In some embodiments, the charging connector assembly 3 further includes a charging housing 31, a connector housing 32, and a plurality of first movable members 33. The charging housing 31 is connected to the other end of the telescopic assembly 2 in the first direction. The plurality of first movable members 33 are sequentially movably connected between the charging housing 31 and the connector housing 32 along the second direction. The charging connector 35 is provided on the connector housing 32.

[0049] In other words, the charging connector assembly 3 realizes the connection and cooperation with the telescopic assembly 2 through the charging housing 31. After the charging housing 31 is fixed relative to the telescopic assembly 2, it can drive the plurality of first movable members 33 to move relative to each other in the second direction, so that the connector housing 32 can move up and down relative to the charging housing 31. Thus, the height adjustment of the charging connector 35 in the up and down direction can be realized.

[0050] Wherein, both the charging housing 31 and the first movable member 33 can be configured as hollow housings. For example, the inner cavity of the charging housing 31 is open upward, and the inner cavity of the first movable member 33 is also open upward, so that the connector housing 32, the plurality of first movable members 33, and the charging housing 31 can be installed from top to bottom in sequence.

[0051] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the first movable member 33 can be set to two. One first movable member 33 located below can be installed in the charging housing 31 and can extend or retract upward relative to the charging housing 31. And one first movable member 33 located above can be installed in one first movable member 33 located below and can extend or retract upward relative to this first movable member 33. And the connector housing 32 can be installed on one first movable member 33 located above and can extend or retract upward relative to this first movable member 33. Thus, the charging connector 35 can be adjusted to different position heights through the activities of the connector housing 32 and the first movable member 33 relative to the charging housing 31, and then can be plugged and charged with charging ports of different heights, meeting the charging requirements of charging ports of different vehicle models.

[0052] In addition, during the specific design, the first movable member 33 can be configured as a movable housing, so that one of the adjacent two movable housings can be sleeved on the other, and then the relative movement of the adjacent two movable housings is used to realize the adjustment of the overall length of the charging connector assembly 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the charging pile 100 further includes a first driving member 34. The first driving member 34 is connected to the charging connector 35 and is configured to drive the charging connector 35 to rotate relative to the connector housing 32. That is to say, the charging connector 35 is rotatably mounted on the connector housing 32 and can be selectively driven by the first driving member 34 to rotate the charging connector 35 to different angular states.

[0054] It can be understood that a plurality of charging jacks 351 are provided on the charging connector 35. The plurality of charging jacks 351 are used for plugging into the charging ports to achieve electrical connection. Among them, the arrangement form of the plurality of charging jacks 351 is fixed. Therefore, when plugging the charging jacks 351 into the plurality of charging terminals of the charging port, the first driving member 34 can be used to drive the charging connector 35 to rotate, so that the plurality of charging jacks 351 are plugged into the plurality of charging terminals one by one to ensure the accuracy of the charging connection.

[0055] Thus, by adjusting the angle of the charging connector 35, the charging connector 35 can be flexibly and accurately matched with charging ports at different angles, achieving accurate plugging and ensuring charging reliability.

[0056] Among them, the first driving member 34 can be configured as a driving motor. The motor shaft of the driving motor can be connected to the charging connector 35 so that when the driving motor outputs power, it can drive the charging connector 35 to rotate. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the connector housing 32 is provided with a mounting hole penetrating in the up and down direction. The charging connector 35 is disposed through the mounting hole. The upper end of the charging connector 35 extends outside the connector housing 32, and the lower end of the charging connector 35 extends into the connector housing 32 and is connected to the motor shaft of the first driving member 34.

[0057] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation of the telescopic assembly 2 relative to the base assembly 1 is parallel and spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the charging connector 35 relative to the connector housing 32. For example, the telescopic assembly 2 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the base assembly 1 about a first axis, and the charging connector 35 is rotatable relative to the connector housing 32 about a second axis, and the first axis and the second axis are parallel and spaced apart. Among them, the first axis and the second axis can both extend vertically, that is, in the up and down direction, so that the telescopic assembly 2 rotates relative to the base assembly 1 about the vertical direction. Similarly, the charging connector 35 can also rotate relative to the connector housing 32 about the vertical direction.

[0058] For example, the telescopic component 2 and the base component 1 can be connected by a rotating shaft 12. The axis of the rotating shaft 12 is the first axis, and the rotating shaft 12 extends in the up-down direction. The axis of the charging connector 35 itself is the second axis, and the axis of the charging connector 35 itself extends in the up-down direction. Thus, the rotation of the charging connector 35 relative to the connector housing 32 and the rotation of the telescopic component 2 relative to the base component 1 can realize the angular adjustment of the charging connector 35 in the horizontal direction, and further realize the position adjustment of the plurality of charging jacks 351, so as to align the charging jacks 351 and the charging terminals.

[0059] It should be noted that the parallel spaced apart referred to here is relative parallelism, that is, the first axis and the second axis can be completely parallel or form a small inclination angle, so that the rotation axes of the telescopic component 2 and the charging connector 35 are relatively parallel, which is conducive to realizing the position alignment of the charging connector 35.

[0060] In some embodiments, at least one first telescopic push rod 361 is correspondingly provided for each first movable member 33. The first telescopic push rod 361 is used to push the corresponding first movable member 33 to move in the second direction. Thus, the corresponding first movable member 33 can be pushed by the first telescopic push rod 361 to move in the up-down direction, and further realize the telescoping of the plurality of first movable members 33 in the up-down direction. Among them, the first telescopic push rod 361 can be configured to elongate or shorten in the up-down direction, so as to be able to push the first movable member 33 to move upward when elongating, and make the first movable member 33 move downward under the action of gravity when shortening, so as to realize the position adjustment of the charging connector 35 in the height direction. Specifically, the first telescopic push rod 361 can be configured as an electric telescopic rod, or can also be configured as other types of telescopic rods.

[0061] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, there are two first movable members 33, and two first telescopic push rods 361 are provided below each first movable member 33. The two first telescopic push rods 361 corresponding to each first movable member 33 are diagonally distributed. In this way, each first movable member 33 can be driven by two first telescopic push rods 361 to realize stable lifting in the height direction. And, as Figure 4 shown, the distribution directions of the two first telescopic push rods 361 located above are perpendicular to the distribution directions of the two first telescopic push rods 361 located below, so that when the plurality of first movable members 33 are lifted and lowered together, the lifting force of the charging connector 35 is more balanced and stable, avoiding the problem of the angle inclination of the charging connector 35.

[0062] Moreover, in some embodiments, the joint housing 32 is provided with at least one second telescopic push rod 362. The second telescopic push rod 362 is used to push the joint housing 32 to move in the second direction. Thus, the joint housing 32 can be pushed to move in the up and down direction by the second telescopic push rod 362, and further, the lifting adjustment of the charging joint 35 can be realized. Wherein, the second telescopic push rod 362 can be configured to extend or contract in the up and down direction, so as to be able to push the joint housing 32 to move upward when extending, and make the joint housing 32 move downward under the action of gravity when contracting, so that the position adjustment of the charging joint 35 in the height direction can be realized. Specifically, the second telescopic push rod 362 can be configured as an electric telescopic rod, or can also be configured as other types of telescopic rods.

[0063] Thus, by setting the first telescopic push rod 361 and the second telescopic push rod 362, the lifting drive of the first moving part 33, the joint housing 32 and the charging joint 35 can be realized, and multi-stage height adjustment can be achieved. Furthermore, it is beneficial to increase the height adjustment range of the charging joint 35, so as to match vehicle models of different heights.

[0064] In some embodiments, the charging joint assembly 3 is further provided with a second driving part 37 and a driving wheel 371. The second driving part 37 is used to drive the driving wheel 371 to rotate. The driving wheel 371 is adapted to drive the telescopic assembly 2 to expand and contract in the first direction and rotate relative to the base assembly 1. Thus, the second driving part 37 can be used to drive the driving wheel 371 to rotate. When the driving wheel 371 rotates, it can drive the telescopic assembly 2 to move, and further, the angle and length of the telescopic assembly 2 can be adjusted.

[0065] Wherein, the second driving part 37 can be configured as a driving motor, and the driving wheel 371 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor. Thus, when the driving motor rotates, the driving wheel 371 can be driven to rotate. The driving wheel 371 is supported on the mounting surface 300, that is, when the driving wheel 371 travels along the mounting surface 300, its position relative to the base assembly 1 changes, and further drives the telescopic assembly 2 to perform length expansion and contraction. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the left end of the telescopic assembly 2 can be connected to the base assembly 1, and the driving wheel 371 is installed at the bottom of the charging joint assembly 3 and located at the right end of the telescopic assembly 2. Thus, when the driving wheel 371 rolls in the first direction, the telescopic assembly 2 can be made to extend or contract in the first direction, so that the active extension or contraction of the telescopic assembly 2 can be realized.

[0066] Moreover, in some embodiments, both the second driving member 37 and the driving wheel 371 are provided in two sets, and the two sets of second driving members 37 can drive the two driving wheels 371 in a one-to-one correspondence. Thus, when the two sets of second driving members 37 synchronously drive the corresponding driving wheels 371, the telescopic assembly 2 can be extended or shortened. When driving the telescopic assembly 2 to rotate relative to the base assembly 1, the two sets of second driving members 37 can differentially drive the driving wheels 371, such as driving one driving wheel 371 to rotate forward and the other driving wheel 371 to rotate backward, and the connection between the telescopic assembly 2 and the base assembly 1 forms a movable fit, so that the telescopic assembly 2 rotates relative to the base assembly 1 under the differential drive of the two sets of driving wheels 371. Thus, the position adjustment of the charging connector 35 in the horizontal direction can be realized.

[0067] During actual design, a main control circuit board 51 can be arranged in the base assembly 1, and the main control circuit board 51 can be electrically connected to the first driving member 34 and the second driving member 37 through a cable 52 to realize the driving control of each part and achieve automatic charging docking.

[0068] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly 2 includes a plurality of second movable members 21, and the plurality of second movable members 21 are sequentially movably connected between the base assembly 1 and the charging connector assembly 3 along the first direction. Thus, any two of the plurality of second movable members 21 can be driven to relatively expand and contract, and the length adjustment of the telescopic assembly 2 can be realized. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0069] Specifically, the base assembly 1 may include a base housing 11, the base housing 11 forms a hollow cavity, and at the same time, the plurality of second movable members 21 also form hollow cavities. The charging housing 31 and the plurality of second movable members 21 can be sleeved and installed relative to the base housing 11 in sequence.

[0070] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner cavity of the base housing 11 opens to the right, there are two second movable members 21, the inner cavities of the two second movable members 21 are also configured to open to the right, and the left end of one second movable member 21 located on the left can extend into the base housing 11 and be movably connected to the base housing 11. The left end of one second movable member 21 located on the right can extend into one second movable member 21 located on the left. At the same time, the left end of the charging housing 31 extends into one second movable member 21 located on the right. Thus, the overall length adjustment of the telescopic assembly 2 can be realized through the relative expansion and contraction between the two second movable members 21 and the expansion and contraction of the charging housing 31 relative to one second movable member 21 located on the right, and further the distance between the charging connector assembly 3 and the base assembly 1 can be adjusted, realizing the position adjustment of the charging connector 35 in space. The structure is simple.

[0071] In addition, in the specific design, the second movable member 21 can be configured as a telescopic housing, so that one of the adjacent two telescopic housings can be sleeved on the other, and then the relative movement of the adjacent two telescopic housings is utilized to adjust the overall length of the telescopic assembly 2.

[0072] In some embodiments, at least one telescopic guide rail 22 is correspondingly provided for each second movable member 21. The telescopic guide rail 22 extends along the first direction, and the second movable member 21 is adapted to slide relative to the telescopic guide rail 22. That is, the sliding fit can be carried out between two adjacent second movable members 21 or between the charging housing 31 and the corresponding second movable member 21 through the telescopic guide rail 22, so that the movement process is more stable when the telescopic assembly 2 adjusts its length.

[0073] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, two telescopic guide rails 22 can be correspondingly arranged for each second movable member 21, and the two telescopic guide rails 22 can be distributed on both sides of the second movable member 21, so that both sides of the second movable member 21 can slide smoothly, ensuring that the sliding support forces on both sides of the telescopic assembly 2 are relatively balanced.

[0074] In some embodiments, one of the telescopic assembly 2 and the base assembly 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 12 and the other is provided with a rotating groove 211. The rotating shaft 12 and the rotating groove 211 are in sliding fit, and the rotating shaft 12 penetrates through the rotating groove 211, so that the rotating shaft 12 slides relative to the rotating groove 211. Specifically, the rotating shaft 12 can be provided on the base assembly 1, and the rotating shaft 12 extends in the up and down direction. At the same time, a rotating groove 211 is provided on one second movable member 21 of the telescopic assembly 2, and the end of the rotating shaft 12 penetrates into the rotating groove 211, and the rotating groove 211 is a strip-shaped groove. Thus, when the telescopic assembly 2 rotates relative to the base assembly 1, the rotating shaft 12 slides and rotates in the rotating groove 211.

[0075] Among them, both the rotating shaft 12 and the rotating groove 211 are two and are in one-to-one corresponding sliding fit. At least one rotating shaft 12 slides along the rotating groove 211 and makes the telescopic assembly 2 rotate relative to the base assembly 1. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the rotating shaft 12 can be provided as two, and the two rotating shafts 12 are respectively rotatably installed in the two rotating grooves 211, and the two rotating grooves 211 can be configured as arc-shaped grooves. Thus, when the two second driving members 37 differentially drive the driving wheel 371, one of the two rotating shafts 12 moves forward in the rotating groove 211 and the other moves backward, thereby realizing the rotation of the telescopic assembly 2 around the vertical direction. Thus, the angle adjustment of the telescopic assembly 2 can be realized.

[0076] Specifically, the rotating shaft 12 line of the telescopic assembly 2 is located between the two rotating shafts 12, that is, it extends in the up and down direction and is spaced apart in parallel from the two rotating shafts 12.

[0077] And, after the telescopic component 2 can rotate relative to the base component 1, as Figure 5 shown, the telescopic component 2 can swing left and right relative to the front-rear direction, so that the telescopic component 2 swings to different position states, which is conducive to actively connecting with the charging ports at different positions.

[0078] In some embodiments, the charging connector assembly 3 is provided with a camera 4. The surrounding environment information of the charging connector 35 can be captured through the camera 4 to determine the position of the charging port through the environment information, and then the position of the charging connector 35 can be adjusted according to the position of the charging port, which is conducive to realizing the active and accurate connection between the charging connector 35 and the charging port. The camera 4 can be electrically connected to the main control circuit board 51, so that the image information captured by the camera 4 can be sent to the main control circuit board 51, which is conducive to the main control circuit board 51 to analyze the position of the charging port and output a driving instruction to realize the position adjustment of the charging connector 35.

[0079] Specifically, during actual operation, after the vehicle 200 approaches the parking space, the camera 4 starts to work. The vehicle 200 adjusts its parking position. After the vehicle 200 enters the automatic docking range, the user terminal can be matched and connected with the charging pile 100 through the vehicle-mounted computer or APP, and send an instruction to start charging towards the charging pile 100. The camera 4 detects the position of the charging port, and the charging pile 100 controls the charging connector 35 to move towards the charging port after receiving the instruction, thereby realizing the charging connection.

[0080] During actual installation, as Figure 4 shown, an installation port 311 can be provided at the upper front end of the charging housing 31. The camera 4 can be installed at the installation port 311 and set upward. Thus, when the vehicle 200 enters the coverage area of the camera 4, the camera 4 can determine the position of the charging port, which is conducive to realizing the active connection.

[0081] The present invention also proposes a charging device.

[0082] The charging device according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with the charging pile 100 of any of the above embodiments. Among them, the charging device can be set as a charging station, and the charging pile 100 is arranged in the charging station. When the user is charging, the charging pile 100 and the vehicle 200 can be matched and connected through the APP. After the information is matched, the charging pile 100 can automatically drive the charging connector 35 to move relative to the vehicle body to realize the automatic connection between the charging connector 35 and the charging port, without the user getting out of the car to manually insert and remove the charging gun, reducing the operation difficulty of the user, saving the operation steps of the user during the charging process, and providing a more convenient vehicle use experience for new energy vehicle owners.

[0083] The present invention also proposes a vehicle 200, including a vehicle body and a power battery.

[0084] Among them, the power battery is installed on the vehicle body, and the power battery is located at the bottom of the vehicle body. A charging port can be provided at the bottom of the vehicle body. For example, the charging port can be directly provided on the power battery, or provided on the vehicle body and electrically connected to the power battery. The charging port is adapted to be plugged and matched with the charging connector 35, and the charging connector 35 can be the charging connector 35 of the charging pile 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0085] Specifically, the charging connector 35 is provided at the upper end of the charging connector assembly 3, and through the driving action of the telescopic assembly 2, the charging connector 35 can extend below the vehicle body. At the same time, the charging port is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body, so that after the charging connector 35 is below the vehicle body, it can face upward and rise, so as to realize the alignment and plugging with the charging port. In other words, the charging port of the vehicle 200 in this application can be arranged differently from the conventional vehicle 200, which is arranged at the rear side or the front part of the vehicle 200, but is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle 200 to realize the plugging and matching with the charging connector 35, reduce the use of the charging gun, reduce the manual labor of the user, and improve the user experience.
