Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology, and in particular to an electronic lock for a charging stand. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market, electronic locks for charging stations have become a critical component for ensuring safety and stability during charging. These locks lock and unlock the charging cable through mechanical or electronic control, preventing it from being accidentally removed during charging. These devices are typically required to offer multiple functions, including automatic locking, automatic unlocking, and manual unlocking, to accommodate diverse usage scenarios.
[0003] The existing electronic locks for charging stations are usually designed with multiple independent functional modules, including a locking device, an unlocking device, a trigger switch mechanism, a manual unlocking device, and a transmission device. The locking and unlocking devices are usually driven by an electric motor, and the locking and unlocking actions are completed by mechanical gears or racks. The trigger switch mechanism is used to monitor the locking and unlocking status and feed the signal back to the control system to ensure that the charging status is synchronized with the locking status. The manual unlocking device serves as a backup mechanism for manual unlocking in the event of a power outage or electronic system failure. The multiple devices are driven by motors to realize the operation of each device, thereby achieving the locking or unlocking action.

[0041] An embodiment of the present application provides a charging stand electronic lock, comprising:
[0042] The housing assembly comprises a first housing and a second housing, wherein the first housing and the second housing cover each other to form a first accommodating cavity;
[0043] The first shell has a first wall and a second wall arranged opposite to each other, the contact portion between the first wall and the second shell is a first covering end, and the contact end between the second wall and the second shell is a second covering end;
[0044] A direction perpendicular to the contact end surface of the first shell and the second shell is defined as a first direction. The first shell has a first through slot formed along the first direction from the first covering end, and a second through slot formed along the first direction from the second covering end.
[0045] The locking member includes a locking part, a transmission part and a manual control part which are integrally arranged in sequence and located in the first accommodating cavity. The locking part partially extends out of the first through slot, and the manual control part partially extends out of the second through slot. The locking member can be assembled or disassembled along the first direction.
[0046] The above-mentioned electronic lock for a charging stand reduces the use of multiple independent functional modules and complex transmission devices by integrating the locking member, transmission member and manual control member into an integrated design. The types and number of parts are reduced, the structure is simplified, the assembly process is easier, production efficiency is improved, and assembly costs are reduced. In addition, the locking member can be assembled or disassembled along the first direction, making it more convenient and quick during repair or replacement, avoiding maintenance difficulties caused by multi-stage transmission devices. The integrated modular design reduces mutual interference between components and reduces the complexity and cost of subsequent maintenance. The internal structural layout is optimized and space utilization is improved.
[0047] The following embodiments of the present application are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.
[0048] See also Figures 1-11 An embodiment of the present application provides a charging stand electronic lock 100 including a housing assembly 10 and a locking member 20 .
[0049] The housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 . The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 cover each other to form a first accommodating cavity 13 .
[0050] The first shell 11 has a first wall 111 and a second wall 112 opposite to each other. The contact portion between the first wall 111 and the second shell 12 is a first covering end 113 , and the contact end between the second wall 112 and the second shell 12 is a second covering end 114 .
[0051] The direction perpendicular to the contact end surface of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 is defined as the first direction F1. The first shell 11 is provided with a first through slot 161 along the first direction F1 from the first covering end 113, and a second through slot 115 along the first direction F1 from the second covering end 114.
[0052] The locking member 20 includes a locking portion 21, a transmission portion 22 and a manual control portion 23 which are integrally arranged in sequence and located in the first accommodating cavity 13. The locking portion 21 partially extends out of the first through slot 161, and the manual control portion 23 partially extends out of the second through slot 115. The locking member 20 can be assembled or disassembled along the first direction F1.
[0053] Specifically, the housing assembly 10 provides a shell structure that protects the core components of the electronic lock, preventing dust, moisture, or other environmental factors from affecting the internal electronic components. In addition, the first accommodating cavity 13 formed by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 ensures the compact arrangement of the internal components and improves the overall stability. The locking member 20 is composed of a locking portion 21, a transmission portion 22, and a manual control portion 23, and they are an integral structure, which reduces the number and complexity of parts and avoids the problems of multiple independent installations and complex transmission mechanisms in traditional electronic locks. This design improves the structural stability and durability of the device and reduces the difficulty and error rate of the assembly process.
[0054] Furthermore, the design of the second direction F2 perpendicular to the contact end face makes the movement direction of the locking member 20 consistent with the opening direction of the accommodating cavity, avoiding the need for complex multi-directional movement. During assembly, the locking member 20 can be smoothly slid in or out along the first direction F1 without rotating or adjusting the angle of the parts, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and convenience of assembly. This design ensures that the locking member 20 can be well aligned with the accommodating cavity during insertion or removal. Reduce operational errors or parts damage caused by part misalignment during assembly. Especially for the charging base of new energy vehicles, damage to parts can cause great losses.
[0055] Furthermore, this design is particularly well-suited for mass-produced electronic charging station locks. Its efficient assembly process and stable operational performance make it suitable for use in the manufacturing of various charging devices. It is also suitable for scenarios requiring frequent maintenance or replacement, such as public charging facilities, effectively improving maintenance efficiency.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, the housing assembly 10 further includes a second accommodating cavity 14, and a direction in which the locking portion 21 faces the manual control portion 23 is defined as a second direction F2. The second accommodating cavity 14 is arranged parallel to the first accommodating cavity 13 along the second direction F2.
[0057] The electronic lock further includes a driving assembly 30 , which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 14 and partially extends into the first accommodating cavity 13 to engage with the transmission portion 22 to drive the locking member 20 .
[0058] Specifically, by providing an independent space for the drive assembly 30, mutual interference between mechanical components is reduced, preventing the movement of the locking member 20 from being affected during operation. The parallel arrangement also makes the entire device more compact and facilitates housing design. The parallel accommodating cavity design helps optimize the internal space layout, enabling the locking member 20 and the drive assembly 30 to work together, while reducing friction and conflict between mechanical components, improving the stability and reliability of the device operation. The direction of the locking portion 21 toward the manual control portion 23 is defined as the second direction F2, which clarifies the movement direction of the locking member 20, that is, the directional arrangement of the locking member 20.
[0059] Furthermore, in the existing design of electronic locks for charging stations, multiple functional modules are usually concentrated in the same cavity, and the parts are arranged compactly, which causes interference between parts during assembly, making the operation complicated. The locking member 20 and the drive assembly 30 are placed in two independent cavities, and the two accommodating cavities are arranged in the same way so that the two accommodating cavities do not interfere with each other. Each component can be handled separately during assembly, avoiding friction or conflict between parts. During the disassembly process, if the parts are tightly connected or there is a complex transmission structure, it is often necessary to disassemble multiple components to complete the maintenance of a certain module. After the locking member 20 and the drive assembly 30 are respectively arranged in independent accommodating cavities, the parts that need to be repaired can be disassembled separately and more quickly without affecting the stability of other components.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, the driving assembly 30 includes a driving member 31 and a driving gear 32 fixedly connected to the driving member 31, wherein the driving member 31 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 14, and the driving gear 32 is meshed with the transmission portion 22;
[0061] In the first direction F1 , when viewed from the driving gear 32 toward the locking member 20 , the projection of the driving gear 32 is a first projection, and the projection of the locking member 20 is a second projection. The first projection does not block the second projection.
[0062] Specifically, the drive assembly 30 is responsible for achieving automatic locking and unlocking of the locking member 20. The drive member 31 is typically an electric motor or a motor that drives the drive gear 32 to rotate through a mechanical transmission system. The drive gear 32 is partially meshed with the rack 222 on the locking member 20. When the motor rotates, the rack 222 is driven by the gear, thereby pushing the locking member 20 to move in a predetermined direction. The drive gear 32 is precisely meshed with the rack 222 of the transmission part 22, forming a key part of the power transmission. Through the meshing of the gear and the rack 222, the rotational motion of the drive gear 32 is converted into linear motion of the transmission part 22, thereby pushing the locking member 20 to achieve locking or unlocking.
[0063] Furthermore, the driving member 31 is arranged in an independent second accommodating chamber 14, which is relatively independent of the first accommodating chamber 13 where the locking member 20 is located. Such a design can avoid interference between different components and make assembly and disassembly more convenient. In the first direction F1, the first projection does not block the second projection. The driving member 31 can be arranged above or below the transmission part 22. When transferring or disassembling, the locking member 20 or the driving assembly 30 can be directly taken out. The two will not interfere with each other, resulting in the problem of being stuck and unable to be removed or assembled. This avoids collision or interference between the driving gear 32 and the locking member 20 during movement, ensures that each component can operate independently on its predetermined track, and improves the operational stability of the system.
[0064] In a specific embodiment, the transmission portion 22 further includes a contact surface 221 disposed opposite to the driving surface, and the contact surface 221 contacts the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 13;
[0065] The transmission part 22 includes a rack 222 arranged along the second direction F2 , and the driving gear 32 drives the transmission part 22 to reciprocate along the second direction F2 .
[0066] Specifically, the driving surface is the plane where the transmission unit 22 and the drive gear 32 come into contact. The contact surface 221, facing away from the driving surface, is in close contact with the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 13, providing stable support. This ensures that the transmission unit 22 does not tilt or shift due to external forces during operation. This design allows the transmission unit 22 to maintain its position during movement, ensuring good meshing between the rack 222 and the drive gear 32 and improving the transmission efficiency of the entire device.
[0067] In a specific embodiment, the first housing 11 further includes a guide block 117, which is provided at the bottom of the first housing 11 and located in the first accommodating cavity 13. The center line of the guide block 117 is parallel to the second direction F2;
[0068] The fitting surface 221 defines a guide groove 221 a along the second direction F2 , and an inner wall of the guide groove 221 a fits the guide block 117 .
[0069] Specifically, a guide block 117 is located at the bottom of the first housing 11 and primarily serves to guide the locking member 20 and maintain its positional stability during movement. The guide block 117 is designed to ensure that the locking member 20 follows a predetermined trajectory during movement. By placing the guide block 117 within the first accommodating cavity 13, the locking member 20 is effectively prevented from shifting and tilting, reducing wear and jamming, thereby improving the device's lifespan and stability.
[0070] Furthermore, the guide groove 221a on the contact surface 221 provides a precise track, allowing the locking member 20 to slide freely along the second direction F2 under the guidance of the guide block 117. The design of the guide groove 221a ensures a tighter fit between the locking member 20 and the housing, preventing loosening or disengagement due to movement, thereby improving the working efficiency and stability of the locking member 20.
[0071] In a specific embodiment, the second housing 12 is provided with a third through slot 162 which, together with the first through slot 161 , forms a fixing hole 16 , and the locking portion 21 extends out of the fixing hole 16 ;
[0072] One side of the housing assembly 10 close to the locking portion 21 is recessed inward to form a snap-fitting groove 17, and the fixing hole 16 is connected to the snap-fitting groove 17. The electronic lock also includes a sealing gasket 40, which is arranged in the snap-fitting groove 17 and abuts against the inner circumference of the snap-fitting groove 17. The sealing gasket 40 also has a through hole 41, which coincides with the central axis of the fixing hole 16. The locking portion 21 passes through and adheres to the circumference of the through hole 41.
[0073] Specifically, the third through-slot 162 and the first through-slot 161 combine to form a fixing hole 16, providing a precise fixed position for the locking portion 21. This structure helps ensure that the locking portion 21 remains stably in its designated position during use. By enclosing the fixing hole 16, the locking portion 21 is more reliably positioned, preventing displacement due to movement or external forces, thereby improving the security and stability of the electronic lock.
[0074] Furthermore, the main function of the snap-fit groove 17 is to accommodate and fix the sealing gasket 40, ensuring its stable position in the housing assembly 10. By firmly snapping the sealing gasket 40 into the snap-fit groove 17, the snap-fit groove 17 can prevent the sealing gasket 40 from being displaced or falling off during use, thereby maintaining the sealing performance and protecting the interior of the electronic lock from dust and moisture. The through hole 41 formed on the sealing gasket 40 coincides with the central axis of the fixing hole 16. The sealing gasket 40 is fixed by the snap-fit groove 17, and the locking member 20 passes through the through hole 41. The sealing gasket 40 further limits the freedom of the locking member 20 in directions other than the direction of movement, and cooperates with the fixing hole 16 to ensure the stability of the locking member 20 during the locking or unlocking process.
[0075] In a specific embodiment, the second shell 12 includes a first limiting member 121, which extends outward from the bottom of the second shell 12 along the first direction F1 and extends into the first through groove 161 to fit the manual control part 23, so as to prevent the locking member 20 from deviating in the first direction F1 when working.
[0076] Specifically, the primary function of the first stopper 121 is to provide a physical constraint, preventing the locking member 20 from shifting in the first direction F1 during operation. By being secured to the bottom of the second housing 12 and extending into the first through-slot 161, the first stopper 121 effectively limits unnecessary movement of the locking member 20 during the locking and unlocking process, thereby ensuring operational stability and preventing malfunction or failure of the locking member 20 due to displacement. Furthermore, the first stopper 121 abuts against the manual control portion 23 to prevent shifting of the locking member 20 in the first direction F1 during the unlocking process.
[0077] Furthermore, the primary function of the first stopper 121 is to provide a physical constraint, preventing the locking member 20 from deflecting in the first direction F1 during operation. By being secured to the bottom of the second housing 12 and extending into the first through-slot 161, the first stopper 121 effectively limits unnecessary displacement of the locking member 20 during locking or unlocking, thereby ensuring operational stability and preventing malfunction or failure of the locking member 20 due to displacement.
[0078] In a specific embodiment, the first shell 11 includes a groove 116 connected to the second through groove 115 , and the side wall of the first through groove 161 is recessed inward to form the groove 116 . The first limiting member 121 partially extends into the groove 116 and fits the inner circumference of the groove 116 .
[0079] Specifically, the first shell 11 is designed with a groove 116, which is connected to the second through groove 115. This design allows an effective connection channel to be formed between the second through groove 115 and the groove 116, which facilitates the movement of the locking member 20 during assembly and disassembly. The side walls of the second through groove 115 are recessed inward, forming the boundary of the groove 116. This allows the groove 116 to effectively surround the first limiting member 121, providing better support and fixation. This fitting relationship can enhance the stability of the locking member 20 and ensure that the locking member 20 is not easily displaced during operation. It can also better position the assembly between the shells to prevent errors caused by offset during assembly, resulting in assembly errors.
[0080] In a specific embodiment, both sides of the second through slot 115 are recessed inward to form grooves 116 .
[0081] In a specific embodiment, the electronic lock also includes a trigger switch 50, and the first shell 11 also includes a limit block 118. The limit block 118 and the side wall of the first shell 11 enclose a third accommodating cavity 15. The third accommodating cavity 15 and the first accommodating cavity 13 are arranged side by side along the second direction F2, and the trigger switch 50 is arranged in the third accommodating cavity 15.
[0082] Specifically, by sensing the position of the locking member 20, the accuracy of the locked state is ensured, thereby improving the security of the electronic lock. The trigger switch 50 is located in the third accommodating chamber 15, which is parallel to the first accommodating chamber 13, to isolate different components. Similar to the design of the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second accommodating chamber 14, the provision of the third accommodating chamber 15 prevents interference between the trigger switch 50 and other components.
[0083] Furthermore, the trigger switch 50 is independently positioned within the third accommodating chamber 15, ensuring it is not affected by other components during assembly and use. This streamlines the assembly process and reduces assembly errors caused by component interference. Consistent with the design of the second chamber, this ensures the consistency and rationality of the system design. This improves the aesthetics and functionality of the overall design, enabling better coordination between various components.
[0084] In a specific embodiment, the second shell 12 further includes a second limiting member 122 , which is disposed at the bottom of the second shell 12 and arranged in parallel with the first limiting member 121 , and an end of the second limiting member 122 away from the second shell 12 abuts against the trigger switch 50 .
[0085] Specifically, the second stopper 122 is located at the bottom of the second housing 12 and is arranged parallel to the first stopper 121. The primary function of this stopper is to provide physical support for the trigger switch 50, ensuring that it does not shift or interfere during operation. The end of the second stopper 122, distal from the second housing 12, contacts the trigger switch 50. This contact with the trigger switch 50 ensures that the trigger switch 50 can accurately sense the state of the locking element 20 during electronic lock operation.
[0086] Furthermore, the second limiter 122 effectively limits the displacement of the trigger switch 50, avoiding misoperation caused by vibration or impact. The stability of the trigger switch 50 is improved, so that it can continuously and accurately monitor the status of the locking member 20 in actual work. The design of the second limiter 122 ensures that the trigger switch 50 always remains in the appropriate position. The failure of the locking function due to the offset of the limiter is reduced, and the overall reliability of the electronic lock is improved. By arranging the second limiter 122 and the first limiter 121 in parallel at the bottom of the second shell 12, the structural design is made simpler. The assembly complexity is reduced, the manufacturing efficiency is improved, and the subsequent maintenance and replacement are also facilitated.
[0087] In summary, the locking member 20, drive assembly 30, and their integration with the housing assembly 10 employ an integrated structure, enabling the various functional components to work in harmony within a complete system. This design not only reduces mutual interference between components but also enhances overall mechanical strength and stability, reducing the risk of failure due to multiple connections.
[0088] By providing multiple through-slots and accommodating cavities, locking member 20 can be assembled and disassembled directly from within the accommodating cavity, eliminating the need for complex tools or redundant steps. In particular, the design of first through-slot 161 and second through-slot 115 simplifies the assembly process, ensuring a smooth fit between components during installation and avoiding malfunctions caused by improper assembly. The restricted degrees of freedom of the fixing block and sealing gasket 40, as well as the coordination between the second stopper 122 and the first stopper 121, further enhance the stability of locking member 20 during operation, ensuring accuracy and reliability during locking and unlocking.
[0089] Reducing the internal space occupied by the product can reduce the overall space of the product; further reducing product costs; avoiding the risk of instability caused by multi-stage gear transmission, making the product quality more stable and reliable; product modularization makes it simpler when product parts need to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs.
