It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more, and at least one means one, two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0036] As a preamble to the embodiments of the present application, in the actual charging scenario of a charging station, the normal process is that when the vehicle finishes charging, the gun can be pulled out only after unlocking the vehicle. However, many users, due to unclear operation procedures, pull out the gun without unlocking it, resulting in the problem of damage to the charging gun due to violent pulling and plugging. Existing warning signs take up a large amount of space. For example, some charging stations use warning signs placed beside the charging piles for reminder, but the volume of the warning signs is relatively large, especially the floor-standing type. One charging station may need to arrange several of them, which will occupy the space around the charging piles and hinder the activities of personnel. There are also some charging stations that use the scheme of pasting stickers on the charging piles to remind users. However, when the user pulls out the gun, the body faces the vehicle rather than the charging pile, and the information shown on the stickers may not be seen in time.

[0037] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a warning sign, aiming to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0038] Please also combine Figures 1 to 4 , the warning sign of the embodiment of the present application is used to be arranged on the cable 8 connected to the charging gun 9. The warning sign includes a connecting part 1 and a warning part 2. The connecting part 1 is used to be arranged at one end where the cable 8 is connected to the charging gun 9. The warning part 2 is connected to the connecting part 1. The warning part 2 is provided with a mark for warning information. The mark can be a text structure formed by means such as pasting stickers, flat printing, relief printing or engraving, and the information content is displayed through the text structure. For example, the information content can be that after charging is completed, unlock the vehicle and then pull out the gun.

[0039] When the user holds the charging gun 9, the warning sign is just near the user's palm, or is the closest to the user's palm compared with the rest of the cable 8, and can let the user see the mark information on the warning sign in the first time, reminding the user to unlock first and then pull out the gun, reducing the possibility of damage to the charging gun 9. Since the volume of the warning sign is relatively small and the space required is also less, the original space distribution state between the charging piles can be maintained.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the connecting portion 1 is configured to be attached to at least a portion of the circumferential surface of the cable 8. When the connecting portion 1 is attached to the surface of the cable 8, the prompt portion 2 is located on one side of the cable 8. The cross-section of the cable 8 is generally circular. By increasing the attachment area between the connecting portion 1 and the cable 8 along the circumference of the cable 8, a stronger adhesion force can be provided, making the connecting portion 1 more firmly attached to the cable 8 and reducing the possibility of falling off.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connecting portion 1 is configured to wrap around the cable 8 to connect with the cable 8. When the connecting portion 1 is connected to the cable 8, the prompt portion 2 is located on one side of the cable 8. The connecting portion 1 wraps around the cable 8, that is, the length of the connecting portion 1 is sufficient for it to wrap around the cable 8 to maintain a stable connection between them. The prompt portion 2 is located on one side of the cable 8, which means that the prompt portion 2 does not overlap with the cable 8 or the overlapping area is small, so that the prompt portion 2 can be fully exposed.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, in actual application scenarios, most users hold the gun with their right hand. Therefore, when installing the prompt sign, the prompt part 2 can be located on the left side of the cable 8. That is, when the user holds the charging gun 9, the label corresponds to the left side of the user's palm and is within the user's field of view.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sign further includes a release layer 3, on which the connection portion 1 and the prompt portion 2 are attached. The release layer 3 is configured to be separable from the connection portion 1 and the prompt portion 2. The release layer 3 can be made of a polytetrafluoroethylene film, a polyester film, or the like, which has good low-surface properties. The side of the prompt portion 2 facing away from the marking is coated with an adhesive, so that the release layer 3 is bonded to the connection portion 1 and the prompt portion 2 to protect the stickiness of the surface of the prompt portion 2. After the release layer 3 is removed, the connection portion 1 can be attached to the cable 8 and wrapped around the cable 8 to achieve a simple and convenient fixation of the sign.

[0044] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, one end of the connecting portion 1 is connected to the prompting portion 2. The connecting portion 1 is arranged to be able to surround the cable 8. When the connecting portion 1 surrounds the cable 8, the other end of the connecting portion 1 can adhere to the first surface 20 of the prompting portion 2 facing away from the mark. After the connecting portion 1 winds around the cable 8 for one circle and adheres to the first surface 20, two adherences to the cable 8 and the prompting portion 2 are formed, increasing the adhesion area of the connecting portion 1, which is beneficial to improving the firmness of the adhesion of the connecting portion 1. At the same time, the connecting portion 1 adheres to two objects respectively, and the connecting portion 1 and the prompting portion 2 form a structure surrounding the cable 8. Even if one connection comes off, the connection with the cable 8 can still be maintained. In addition, the connecting portion 1 adheres to the first surface 20, avoiding blocking the mark.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the prompting portion 2 includes a connected first portion 21 and a second portion 22. One end of the connecting portion 1 is connected to the first portion 21, and the first portion 21 is provided with a mark; when the connecting portion 1 surrounds the cable 8, the other end of the connecting portion 1 can adhere to the first surface 20 of the first portion 21 facing away from the mark, and the second portion 22 can be folded relative to the first portion 21 to adhere to the first surface 20 and clamp the other end of the connecting portion 1 between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22. The first portion 21 and the second portion 22 are adhered to each other and clamp the other end of the connecting portion 1. On the one hand, it makes the connecting portion 1 not easy to come out, playing a role in enhancing the firmness of the connection of the connecting portion 1. On the other hand, the sticky part of the connecting portion 1 is blocked, so as to prevent the sticky substance on the first surface 20 from adhering to surrounding objects.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the second portion 22 is provided with a mark. When the second portion 22 adheres to the first surface 20, the mark is located on the side of the second portion 22 facing away from the first surface 20. When the user holds the charging gun 9, whether the first portion 21 faces the user or the second portion 22 faces the user, the mark information can be shown to the user, achieving the purpose of prompting the user to operate according to the process, improving the adaptability of the prompt sign in different usage scenarios, and also facilitating the installation of the prompt sign.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the connecting portion 1 is provided with a hollowed-out area 11. The hollowed-out area 11 is rectangular and extends along the length direction of the connecting portion 1. When the connecting portion 1 surrounds the cable 8 and the cable 8 bends, the hollowed-out area 11 can reduce the tension difference between the sticker and the cable 8, enabling the connecting portion 1 to better adapt to the bending of the cable 8 and follow the shape change of the cable 8, thereby reducing the generation of wrinkles. In some other embodiments, the hollowed-out area 11 can also be circular, oval or other shapes.

[0048] Please also combine with Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sign also includes teeth 4. The number of teeth 4 can be multiple. The teeth 4 are located on the side of the connecting portion 1 for attaching to the cable 8 and are connected to the connecting portion 1. The teeth 4 are configured to be able to embed into the outer protective layer of the cable 8. The cable 8 includes an outer protective layer, an insulating layer, a conductor layer, a shielding layer, and an inner sheath layer. The outer protective layer is located on the outermost side of the cable 8 structure. Therefore, the embedding of the teeth 4 into the outer protective layer will not affect the internal structure. When the connecting portion 1 is connected to the cable 8, the teeth 4 are embedded into the outer protective layer, increasing the friction force between the connecting portion 1 and the cable 8, thereby restricting the relative displacement between the two and facilitating the stable connection of the sign. In this embodiment, the material of the connecting portion 1 is hard plastic to ensure that the teeth 4 have sufficient connection strength. The connecting portion 1 can be fixed to the cable 8 by tape winding to achieve the attachment of the connecting portion 1 to the cable 8. In some other embodiments, the connecting portion 1 can also be directly bonded to the cable 8 to achieve the direct attachment of the connecting portion 1 to the cable 8.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, at least part of the connecting portion 1 is spaced apart from the prompting portion 2, forming an avoidance area 5 and a notch 6 communicating with the avoidance area 5. That is to say, the connection between the connecting portion 1 and the prompting portion 2 is in a partially connected form. When using tape to wind and fix the connecting portion 1, the tape can enter the avoidance area 5 from the notch 6, facilitating the tape winding operation and providing convenience for the installation of the connecting portion 1. At the same time, the avoidance area 5 also enables the part where the tape is wound to be limited to the connecting portion 1, avoiding the situation where the prompting portion 2 is wound in and obscures the sign.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sign also includes a pearlescent layer 7. The pearlescent layer 7 is provided on the prompting portion 2 and the connecting portion 1. The pearlescent layer 7 can make the sign have a shiny and glittering effect, making it more likely to attract the user's attention under light, so that the user can understand the sign information on it.

[0051] Correspondingly, an electric vehicle charging device provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a charging pile, a charging gun 9, a cable 8, and the sign in the above embodiment. The charging pile obtains electric energy by connecting to the power grid or other power supply devices; the charging gun 9 is used to connect the charging pile and the electric vehicle. Through the charging gun 9, electric energy can be transmitted from the charging pile to the charging interface of the electric vehicle through the cable 8 to achieve the charging process; the sign is arranged at one end where the cable 8 is connected to the charging gun 9 to prompt the user to unlock before unplugging the gun.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of the respective embodiments have their own emphases. For parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, reference may be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0053] The above has introduced in detail the warning signs provided by the embodiments of the present application, and specific examples have been used to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application.
