DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the drawings of the present invention and are not specific limitations of the present invention.

[0020] Example: A charging station that can provide a driver with a rest, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a parking space 1, a charging pile 2, a supporting leg 3, a telescopic rod 4, a card rod 5, a return spring 7, a connecting frame 8, an operating panel 9, a limit plate 10, a desktop 11 and a water supply device. A charging pile 2 is installed between the two parking spaces 1, and multiple supporting legs 3 are located on the side of the charging pile 2. The telescopic rod 4 is slidably connected to the supporting leg 3. The limit plate 10 is connected between the supporting legs 3. The connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the limit plate 10. Multiple card rods 5 are connected to the left and right sides of the connecting frame 8. The telescopic rod 4 has multiple positioning cavities 6. The card rod 5 is slidably connected to the positioning cavity 6. A return spring 7 is sleeved on the card rod 5. One end of the return spring 7 is connected to the supporting leg 3, and the other end is connected to the connecting frame 8. The front end of the connecting frame 8 is connected to the operating panel 9. The top of the telescopic rod 4 is commonly connected to the desktop 11. A water supply device for providing water is provided on the side of the supporting leg 3.

[0021] When the driver arrives at the charging station, he will first choose a vacant parking space 1 and park the vehicle. The vehicle can then be charged through the charging pile 2. At this time, if the driver wants to use this time to rest or have a meal, he can start to adjust the height of the desktop 11 to suit different needs. By pushing the operating panel 9, the connecting frame 8 will move accordingly. This action drives the card rod 5 to slide in the positioning cavity 6 of the support leg 3. At the same time, the reset spring 7 is stretched. Once the card rod 5 is completely free from the constraints of a certain positioning cavity 6, the telescopic rod 4 can slide freely in the support leg 3, so that the desktop 11 can be adjusted up and down. The driver only needs to lightly push the operating panel 9 with his knees to easily adjust the desktop 11 to the desired height. Whether sitting to read or standing to eat, you can find the most suitable position. After the adjustment is completed, release the operating panel 9, and the reset spring 7 will immediately rebound, pushing the connecting frame 8 and the card rod 5 on it back to the nearest positioning cavity 6, locking the telescopic rod 4, thereby achieving a firm lock of the desktop 11;

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the water supply device includes a water pipe 12, a water purifier 13 and a controller 14. The bottom of the water pipe is connected to tap water. The water pipe 12 serves as a transmission channel for the water source, and its bottom is connected to the tap water to ensure a continuous and stable water supply. The water purifier 13 is located in the middle of the water pipe 12 and is responsible for purifying the tap water, removing impurities, and providing clean and safe drinking water. The controller 14 is installed at the top of the water pipe 12, allowing the driver to control the water output according to demand.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a heater 15 is further included. A heater 15 for heating purified water is provided above the water purifier 13 , and the heater 15 is connected to the controller 14 via a wire.

[0024] When hot water is needed, the driver only needs to send a command through the controller 14, and the wired heater 15 will start quickly to heat the purified water output by the water purifier 13 to ensure that the water temperature is appropriate.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic rod 4 is provided with an identification groove 16 , and the position of the identification groove 16 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the positioning cavity 6 . The driver can determine the position of the positioning cavity 6 through the identification groove 16 .

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a heating panel 17 is also included. A heating panel 17 is installed on the desktop 11. The heating panel 17 is particularly suitable for cold weather. The driver can start the heating function through the button on the heating panel 17 to provide a certain temperature for the desktop. Whether it is for placing food or directly used as a resting platform, it can bring a warm and comfortable experience. When eating or resting in cold weather, there is a button on the heating panel 17 to provide some temperature.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a trash can 18 is also included, and the trash can 18 is placed between the charging pile 2 and the supporting leg 3.

[0028] After use, the driver puts the garbage into the garbage bin 18 to maintain the clean environment of the charging station.

[0029] If the driver needs to rest or eat, they gently push the operating panel 9 with their knee. This, via the connecting bracket 8, forces the latching rod 5 to slide within the positioning cavity 6 of the telescopic rod 4, simultaneously extending the return spring 7. An indicator groove 16 on the telescopic rod 4 helps the driver visually confirm the position of the latching rod 5, ensuring that the tabletop 11 is precisely adjusted to the desired height. Once the latching rod 5 slides into the new positioning cavity 6, the return spring 7 rebounds, pushing the connecting bracket 8 and the latching rod 5 to lock the telescopic rod 4, providing a secure support for the tabletop 11. Furthermore, the water supply device on the side of the support leg 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 12. After the water purifier 13 purifies the tap water, the driver can adjust the water temperature and volume using the controller 14, ensuring clean and safe drinking water. If hot water is required, the controller 14 sends a command to the wired heater 15, which heats the purified water output by the water purifier 13. The tabletop 11 is also equipped with a heating panel 17 to provide warmth for use in cold weather.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
