[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a remote prompt device for the working status of a charging station described in one embodiment of the utility model includes a light-emitting component 1 arranged on the outer surface of the charging station 3, and the light-emitting component 1 faces different directions and is used to indicate at least one transportation equipment operating in the traffic space.

[0027] This device is widely used in various transportation scenarios, including but not limited to city streets, highway service areas, airport aprons, and port terminals. Transportation equipment such as cars, drones, helicopters, and ships frequently travel or dock, creating an urgent need for monitoring the status of Charging Station 3. By installing this device, drone vision systems and personnel can clearly see the operating status of charging piles in Charging Station 3 from a distance, both day and night, without having to exit the vehicle or distract themselves by checking their phones. This significantly improves charging efficiency and user experience.

[0028] This technical device improves the convenience and safety of checking the status of Charging Station 3. It reduces unsafe behaviors such as stopping, getting out of the vehicle, or distractedly using mobile phones to check the status of Charging Station 3, thereby reducing the risk of traffic accidents and improving the overall efficiency and satisfaction of charging services. Secondly, the multi-directional lighting element 1 achieves broad coverage and clear indication of Charging Station 3 status across multiple traffic spaces, enabling users on land, in the air, and on water to easily obtain the required information.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the light emitting element 1 includes a plurality of display areas 101 , and different display areas 101 have different display contents or display states.

[0030] For example, one area indicates whether a charging station is available. When a charging station is idle, the area glows green; when the station is in use, the area glows red. Another area displays the charging speed or remaining charging time, visually conveying this information through different flashing frequencies, numbers, or color gradients. For charging stations that support multiple types of transportation equipment, specific areas can also be set up to indicate which charging stations are intended for cars, aircraft, or ships, distinguishing them through different patterns or colors.

[0031] In this embodiment, the multi-zone, multi-state luminous element 1 enriches the information provided by the charging station 3 status display, allowing users to obtain more detailed information about the charging piles at once. The differentiated design between the different display areas 101 improves the legibility, intuitiveness, and convenience of the information. Without having to approach the charging piles or rely on other devices, the user can quickly assess the overall status of the charging station 3 from a distance using the luminous element 1, allowing them to make more reasonable charging decisions. Furthermore, this helps optimize the management and scheduling of the charging station 3, improving the utilization of charging resources and overall operational efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the light emitting element 1 includes a plurality of light emitting units 102, and the light emitting units 102 include a red light emitting element, a green light emitting element and a blue light emitting element.

[0033] The light emitting unit 102 is an LED.

[0034] In this embodiment, the colors are rich and the information expression is more intuitive. The red light-emitting elements, green light-emitting elements and blue light-emitting elements can be combined into a variety of colors. Through the combination and change of different colors, the different working states of the charging station 3 can be expressed more intuitively and accurately. For example, green means that the charging pile is idle, orange means that charging service can be provided but the power supply is insufficient, red means that it is in service or faulty and cannot provide service, and other colors can be used for special prompts or to distinguish different charging service levels. The LED has high brightness and low power consumption, which can effectively reduce energy consumption and reduce operating costs while ensuring sufficient brightness and visual distance. The brightness and color of the LED can be precisely controlled by programming, so that the light-emitting unit 102 can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to actual needs. For example, during holidays or special events, the color or flashing mode of the light-emitting unit 102 can be changed to create a festive atmosphere to attract user attention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the light-emitting element 1 is a display screen.

[0036] In this embodiment, the display screen can display more complex and detailed information than a single light-emitting unit 102 or LED combination. It can display the basic status of the charging station (e.g., idle, in use), as well as more practical information such as charging progress, estimated completion time, and charging costs. This significantly increases the amount of information, allowing users to more comprehensively understand the status of the charging station 3 and make more reasonable charging decisions.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the light emitting element 1 is in the shape of a column, a cylinder or a prism, and the light emitting element 1 stands on the top of the charging station 3 .

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting element 1 is spherical and is arranged on the top of the charging station 3 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the cylindrical or spherical light-emitting element 1 has a larger viewing angle due to its shape characteristics, so that no matter from which direction the user approaches the charging station 3, the user can see the light emitted by the light-emitting element 1 or the information displayed, reducing the visual blind spots caused by angle limitations, and the all-round visibility further improves the user experience. The cylindrical or spherical light-emitting element 1 has a larger surface area, so it can be seen at a farther distance, and is particularly suitable for charging station 3 scenarios that require long-distance prompts, such as highway service areas, large parking lots, etc. Users can judge the status of the charging station 3 through the light-emitting element 1 on the top without approaching it, which improves the convenience and efficiency of use. In addition, it is convenient for aircraft to view and guide the aircraft.

[0040] As a decorative element on the top of charging station 3, the cylindrical or spherical light-emitting element 1 not only serves a practical purpose but also enhances the overall aesthetics of charging station 3. Especially at night or in dimly lit environments, the soft light emitted by the light-emitting element 1 adds a sense of warmth and technology to charging station 3, making it a beautiful addition to the surrounding landscape. Furthermore, the light-emitting element 1 can be integrated with the brand image or logo of charging station 3, enhancing its practicality while also strengthening the brand's recognition and influence. When users see a familiar light-emitting element 1 from a distance, they can associate it with the corresponding charging station 3 brand and services, helping to increase brand awareness.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a protective cover 2 is provided on the top of the light-emitting element 1, and the top of the protective cover 2 is an upwardly convex arc surface.

[0042] In this embodiment, the protective cover 2 protects the light-emitting element 1 from external environmental influences, such as rain, dust, bird droppings, and other pollutants. This helps extend the service life of the light-emitting element 1 and reduces the cost and inconvenience of maintenance or replacement. The upwardly raised curved surface helps guide rainwater and other substances down the surface of the protective cover 2, reducing water accumulation and further enhancing the waterproof performance of the light-emitting element 1. Using a transparent material such as glass or acrylic as the material for the protective cover 2 ensures that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 1 can fully penetrate without being weakened by obstruction or scattering, ensuring clear communication of information and long-distance visibility.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a plurality of through holes 103 are provided on the side surface of the light emitting element 1 .

[0044] In this embodiment, by providing the through hole 103, the windward area of ​​the light-emitting component 1 in the wind can be reduced, thereby reducing wind resistance. This is particularly important for charging stations 3 arranged outdoors, because in windy weather, reducing wind resistance can reduce the risk of damage to the light-emitting component 1. The light-emitting component 1 will generate a certain amount of heat during operation, especially when the charging station 3 uses a high-brightness LED or a display screen as the light-emitting component 1, the heat dissipation problem is particularly important. The through hole 103 provided on the side can serve as a heat dissipation channel to help the heat generated inside the light-emitting component 1 to be quickly dissipated to the external environment, thereby maintaining the normal operating temperature of the light-emitting component 1 and extending its service life. In addition, providing the through hole 103 reduces the overall weight of the light-emitting component 1, which can reduce the difficulty and cost of installation, while improving safety and stability.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the light-emitting element 1 surrounds the top of the charging station 3, blending in with the appearance and decorative style of the charging station 3 to create a harmonious and unified overall effect, enhancing the visual aesthetics of the charging station 3 and reducing its perceived intrusion. The light-emitting element 1 surrounding the top can emit light or display information from multiple angles and directions, making the charging station 3 recognizable from a distance.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
