[0022] In the following description of the present utility model, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating that the device must have a specific orientation.

[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects realized by the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model in this article are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the present utility model aims to provide a waterproof charging system, including a charging pile 1, the bottom of the charging pile 1 is fixed on a base 2, the front side of the base 2 is connected with a bottom plate 6 for carrying a self-mobile device 5, the rear port of the box body 1a of the charging pile 1 is covered with a rear cover 1b, and the connection port is sealed through an end cover sealing ring 14. The front end of the electrode 3 is a charging end 3a, the rear end of the electrode 3 is a wiring end, the wiring end of the electrode 3 passes through a sphere 7, the rear side of the sphere 7 is rotatably abutted in the spherical socket of a bogie, and the front side of the sphere 7 abuts against the front side wall of the box body 1a of the charging pile 1; the sphere 7 and the bogie are both located in an electrode mounting box 4; the bogie includes a transverse bogie 12 and a vertical bogie 13. A transverse kidney-shaped groove for the wiring end of the electrode 3 to pass through is provided at the center of the transverse spherical socket of the transverse bogie 12, and a vertical kidney-shaped groove for the wiring end of the electrode 3 to pass through is provided at the center of the vertical spherical socket of the vertical bogie 13.

[0026] There are two electrode mounting boxes 4. A through hole for the charging end 3a of the electrode 3 to extend out is formed in the front side wall of the box body 1a of the charging pile 1, and the radius of the through hole is smaller than the radius of the sphere 7. So that the sphere 7 can be rotatably clamped into the through hole without leaving a gap, preventing water flow from flowing into the electrode mounting seat along the charging end 3a of the electrode 3.

[0027] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the electrode mounting box 4 is square and connected to the front inner wall of the box body 1a of the charging pile 1. The rear port of the electrode mounting box 4 is covered with a protective cover 8 and sealed through a protective cover sealing ring 9. Through the setting of two layers of sealing rings, water flow is prevented from entering the control board through the gaps of the charger and causing a circuit break.

[0028] The side wall of the protective cover 8 is provided with a wire threading hole for the protective cover 8, and a wire harness waterproof plug 15 is embedded in the wire threading hole for the protective cover 8. The electrode wire harness 10 connected to the wiring terminal of the electrode 3 passes through the wire harness waterproof plug 15. The waterproof plug is a rubber soft plug. This prevents water from entering the electrode 3 seat through the wire threading hole and causing a short circuit of the electrode 3.

[0029] Lugs 11 extend from the four corners of the protective cover 8. The lugs 11 are connected to the threaded grooves provided around the electrode 3 mounting seat by screws, so that the protective cover 8 is firmly fixed on the electrode mounting box 4, and the sealing ring is pressed between the protective cover 8 and the electrode mounting box. The charging end 3a of the electrode 3 is coated with a waterproof material.

[0030] The waterproof performance of the charging system designed by the present utility model reaches IP X5 in the national standard GB-4208-2008, which is much higher than that of other charging piles for lawn mowers on the market. This avoids safety hazards such as electric leakage caused by water ingress of the lawn mower and ensures the normal operation of the equipment.
