[0002] Charging piles and charging guns are key components in an electric vehicle charging system, each playing different functions. A charging pile, also known as a charging station or charging terminal, is the infrastructure for electric vehicle charging. It is usually fixedly installed in public or private places, such as parking lots, roadside or shopping malls. The main function of a charging pile is to supply power to an electric vehicle and ensure the safety and efficiency of the charging process. A charging pile includes power conversion equipment, a control system, a display screen, and a communication interface. The power conversion equipment is responsible for converting the power from the power grid into a voltage and current suitable for the electric vehicle battery. The control system manages the charging process, including starting, stopping charging, monitoring current and voltage, and calculating fees, etc. The display screen provides user information, such as charging status and fees. The communication interface is used for data exchange with the electric vehicle and other systems (such as a payment system).

[0003] A charging gun, also known as a charging gun head or charging cable, is the actual physical interface connecting the charging pile and the electric vehicle. One end of the charging gun is connected to the charging pile by a cable of the charging pile, and the other end is inserted into the charging port of the electric vehicle. The charging gun contains multiple electrical contacts, and these contacts transmit power to the electric vehicle battery through the cable. Modern charging guns may also include control and data communication functions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the charging process.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above improvement scheme is that by setting the circumferential diameter of the lower end of the mating frame to be smaller than the circumferential diameter of the upper end of the mating frame, the lower end of the mating frame can smoothly enter the plug interface to limit the charging gun head, enabling the charging gun head to be positioned and plugged.

[0014] Furthermore, the inside of the plug interface is hollow and penetrates up and down. The plug interface is located directly above the plugging position.

[0015] Furthermore, the height of the plugging channel is 2 cm.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above improvement scheme is that by setting the height of the plugging channel to be 3 cm, the plug interface can be protected.

[0017] Further, the insertion channel is in communication with the insertion port.

[0018] Further, the length of the positioning pin is greater than the length of the mating frame.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: By setting the length of the positioning pin to be greater than the length of the mating frame, the accuracy and stability of the insertion position are ensured, positioning errors are avoided, and the good matching between the positioning pin and the positioning groove enhances the stability and precision during insertion.

[0020] Further, the positions of the mating frame and the positioning pin correspond to the positions of the insertion port and the positioning groove.

[0021] Further, an anti-slip layer is provided on the lower wall of the positioning seat.

[0022] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: By providing an anti-slip layer on the lower wall of the positioning seat, sliding can be prevented, which is beneficial to ensuring the stability during insertion.

[0023] Further, the material of the anti-slip layer is rubber.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of an auxiliary plugging device for a charging pile provided by the present utility model are as follows: By providing a positioning pin, it is beneficial to prevent the charging gun head from moving out of position or deviating from the predetermined position during insertion, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the plugging positioning. By setting the side wall of the mating frame to be a three-section structure, the mating frame can better cooperate with and fix the charging gun head, ensuring the stability and precision of the insertion. By setting the circumferential diameter of the lower end of the mating frame to be smaller than the circumferential diameter of the upper end of the mating frame, the lower end of the mating frame can smoothly enter the insertion port to limit the charging gun head, enabling the charging gun head to be positioned and inserted. By setting the height of the insertion channel to be 3 cm, the insertion port can be protected. By setting the length of the positioning pin to be greater than the length of the mating frame, the accuracy and stability of the insertion position are ensured, positioning errors are avoided, and the good matching between the positioning pin and the positioning groove enhances the stability and precision during insertion.

The matching frame 3 is arranged outside the charging gun head 4, and the matching frame 3 cooperates with the insertion interface 12 to perform positioning and plugging of the charging gun head 4; the positioning mechanism 1 includes a positioning mechanism body 11, an insertion interface 12, a positioning groove 13, and a positioning seat 14; an insertion interface 12 is opened above the middle of the positioning mechanism body 11, and the lower part of the insertion interface 12 is an insertion channel. During insertion, the matching frame 3 and the insertion interface 12 cooperate to be inserted into the insertion interface 12, and the sizes of the insertion interface 12 and the matching frame 3 are adapted to each other; the positioning pin 2 is fixedly arranged on one side of the matching frame 3, and the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 13. The sizes of the positioning pin 2 and the positioning groove 13 are adapted to each other, and the positioning pin 2 is used to position the insertion position of the charging gun head 4.

[0031] During use, fit the mating frame 3 over the outer side of the charging gun head 4, place the positioning mechanism 1 outside the charging socket and fix it to ensure that the insertion interface 12 corresponds to the charging port. Move the charging gun head 4 to correspond to the insertion interface 12. The charging gun head 4 moves inward so that the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 13. Since the length of the positioning pin 2 is longer than that of the mating frame 3, the positioning pin 2 will be inserted into the positioning groove 13 earlier than the mating frame 3.

[0033] Further, in the above technical solution, the circumferential diameter of the lower end of the mating frame 3 is smaller than the circumferential diameter of the upper end of the mating frame 3.

[0034] Further, in the above technical solution, the inside of the insertion interface 12 is hollow and runs through up and down. The insertion interface 12 is located directly above the insertion position.

[0035] Further, in the above technical solution, the height of the insertion channel is 2 cm.

[0036] Further, in the above technical solution, the insertion channel is connected to the insertion interface 12.

The charging gun head 4 is moved to correspond to the insertion interface 12. The charging gun head 4 moves inward so that the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 13. Since the length of the positioning pin 2 is longer than that of the fitting frame 3, the positioning pin 2 will be inserted into the positioning groove 13 earlier than the fitting frame 3.
