Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology, and specifically relates to a charging compartment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more new energy vehicles are being put into use, with electric vehicles being the most typical example. Electric vehicles mostly use electricity as their power source, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to gasoline vehicles. However, this can also lead to power shortages to some extent. Therefore, charging infrastructure plays a crucial role in providing power reserves for new energy vehicles.

[0003] Therefore, many charging facilities have been launched on the market, among which solar charging piles are one type. They can use solar energy to charge electric vehicles. However, current solar charging piles lack certain safety protection and rainproof facilities, which can easily affect power facilities and cause short circuits in severe cases. They can also easily threaten the personal safety of users. To address this, existing technologies have proposed a solar car charging station, such as the one with application number CN201611248335.0. This station achieves rainproof function by setting up a rainproof canopy and solar panels above the parking space, while placing the charging pile next to the parking space for easy access to the charging gun.

[0004] However, the solar-powered car charging stations mentioned above still have some problems in actual use: when it rains outdoors, some water mist will still fall on the charging pile, so the rainproof effect is not good. In addition, there are many models of new energy vehicles now, resulting in the charging ports of different models being located in different positions on the vehicle body. Although the above-mentioned device can allow cars to enter from both directions, the driver needs to readjust the vehicle position after realizing that the wrong direction has been entered, which is time-consuming and laborious. At the same time, for new energy vehicles with charging ports at the front and rear of the vehicle, the charging pile is located on the side of the vehicle body, which is not convenient for personnel to move and insert the charging gun when charging new energy vehicles with charging ports at the front and rear of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model addresses the problems in the prior art by providing a charging compartment that solves the problem of needing to judge and adjust the vehicle's position when entering a fixed charging pile, which is a problem in the prior art. It also solves the problem of inconvenience in charging new energy vehicles with charging ports at the front or rear of the vehicle when using fixed charging piles.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This application provides a charging compartment, including a compartment body. At least one first opening is provided on the side end face of the compartment body for vehicle passage. A photovoltaic system is installed above the compartment body, connected to a charging gun via a charging cable. A displacement system is installed inside the compartment body, with its upper end fixed to the upper surface inside the compartment body and its lower end connected to the charging cable. The lower end of the displacement system is capable of horizontal movement. By using this displacement system, the positions of the charging cable and charging gun within the compartment body can be adjusted to accommodate the charging port positions of different new energy vehicles. Drivers only need to drive the car into the compartment to park, without needing to readjust the vehicle's position to fit a fixed charging station.

[0008] Furthermore, the transfer system includes at least one rotatable support member, which is rotatably mounted on the upper surface inside the chamber and is connected to a charging cable.

[0009] Furthermore, the displacement system includes two support components, each of which is a driven sprocket. The two driven sprockets are connected by a chain, and a first connector is provided on the chain for mounting the charging cable. Through the driven sprockets and chain, the movement trajectory of the first connector can conform to the shape of the new energy vehicle's perimeter, improving the displacement effect of the displacement system on the charging cable and charging gun within the compartment.

[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting component includes a connecting plate, the upper end of which is fixedly mounted on the chain, and the lower end of which is rotatably provided with a hinge. A mounting sleeve is hinged to the hinge, and the mounting sleeve is used to install the charging cable. Through the connecting plate and hinge, the mounting sleeve can adaptively float and adjust the position of the charging gun when the driver tows it, preventing excessive bending of the charging cable at the mounting sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, a second connector is provided on the chain. One end of the second connector is hinged to the chain via a torsion spring, and the charging cable is attached to the other end of the second connector. Through this second connector and torsion spring, the charging cable and charging gun can be stored in the upper part of the compartment without external force. Under external force, the second connector rotates, allowing the charging cable and charging gun to move up and down to accommodate charging ports at different heights. This eliminates the need for operators to lift and drag the heavy charging cable and charging gun, saving time and effort.

[0012] Furthermore, the transfer system also includes a displacement motor, which is located on the upper surface inside the chamber. A drive sprocket is connected to the motor's output shaft, and the drive sprocket meshes with a chain. Through the displacement motor and drive sprocket, the charging gun and charging cable can move automatically in the horizontal direction, eliminating the need for manual dragging of the charging gun.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two first openings, positioned opposite each other on the charging compartment. A second opening is also provided on the compartment, and both the first and second openings are equipped with roller shutters. The two first openings allow drivers to easily drive new energy vehicles into the charging compartment from either direction in one go, without needing to adjust the vehicle's orientation. The second opening facilitates entry and exit for passengers and maintenance by staff when new energy vehicles are parked inside. The roller shutters open when new energy vehicles are entering or exiting and remain closed at other times, improving the charging compartment's rain and dust protection.

[0014] Furthermore, an identification unit is installed on the outer end face of the compartment with the first opening. The identification unit is used to identify objects outside the compartment. Through the identification unit, it is possible to identify whether the object outside the compartment is a new energy vehicle and its model, and to transmit the corresponding control signal to the corresponding roller shutter door and displacement system.

[0015] Furthermore, a ramp is provided at the first opening, and the ramp is detachably connected to the charging compartment. The ramp allows vehicles that need charging to smoothly drive into the charging compartment, while also alerting other vehicles that do not need charging that there are foreign objects in the area, reminding drivers of other vehicles that parking their vehicles here will affect the entry and exit of vehicles that need charging.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following advantages: The shifting system allows for the movement of the charging cable and charging gun within the compartment to accommodate different charging port positions for various new energy vehicles. Drivers only need to drive the car into the compartment to park, without needing to readjust the vehicle's position to fit a fixed charging station. The driven sprocket and chain ensure the first connecting member's movement trajectory conforms to the vehicle's circumference, improving the shifting system's effect on the displacement of the charging cable and charging gun within the compartment. The connecting plate and hinge allow for adaptive floating adjustment of the charging gun's position when the driver drags it, preventing excessive bending of the charging cable at the mounting sleeve. The second connecting member and torsion spring allow the charging cable and charging gun to be stored in the upper part of the compartment without external force. Under external force, the second connecting member rotates, allowing the charging cable and charging gun to move up and down to accommodate charging ports of different heights. This eliminates the need for operators to lift and drag heavy charging cables and guns, saving time and effort. The system features a displacement motor and drive sprocket, enabling automatic horizontal movement of the charging gun and charging cable without manual dragging. Two first openings allow drivers to easily drive new energy vehicles into the charging compartment from either direction without adjusting the vehicle's orientation. A second opening facilitates entry and exit for passengers and maintenance personnel when a new energy vehicle is parked inside. A roller shutter door opens when a new energy vehicle enters or exits and remains closed at other times, improving the charging compartment's rain and dust protection. An identification unit identifies whether a new energy vehicle is outside the compartment and its model, transmitting corresponding control signals to the roller shutter door and displacement system. A ramp facilitates smooth entry of vehicles needing charging and also alerts other vehicles not needing charging to the presence of obstructions, reminding drivers that parking in this area may obstruct the entry and exit of charging vehicles.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a charging compartment, including a compartment body 1. At least one first opening 2 is provided on the side end face of the compartment body 1 for vehicle passage. In this embodiment, two first openings 2 are provided, arranged opposite each other on the compartment body 1. A second opening 13 is also provided on the compartment body 1. Both the first opening 2 and the second opening 13 are equipped with roller shutters. A photovoltaic system 3 is installed above the compartment body 1, connected to a charging gun via a charging cable. The photovoltaic system 3 includes a solar photovoltaic array and an energy storage battery. The solar photovoltaic array converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the energy storage battery via a DC / DC power conversion module. The energy storage battery is connected to the charging cable. A displacement system is installed inside the compartment body 1, with its upper end fixed to the upper end face inside the compartment body 1 and its lower end connected to the charging gun. The charging cable is connected, and the lower end of the shifting system can move horizontally. With this configuration, the position of the charging cable and charging gun within the compartment 1 can be moved to accommodate the charging port positions of different new energy vehicles. The driver only needs to drive the car into the compartment 1 to park, without having to readjust the vehicle's position to fit the fixed charging pile. The two first openings 2 allow the driver to easily drive the new energy vehicle into the compartment 1 from either direction without adjusting the vehicle's position to fit the orientation of the charging compartment. The second opening 13 facilitates the entry and exit of passengers when a new energy vehicle is parked in the compartment 1 and allows staff to maintain the charging compartment. The roller shutter door can be opened when new energy vehicles enter or exit and remains closed at other times, improving the charging compartment's rainproof and dustproof performance.

[0029] Specifically, the displacement system includes at least one rotatable support member, which is rotatably mounted on the upper surface inside the compartment 1. The support member is connected to the charging cable. In this embodiment, the displacement system includes two support members, and the support members are driven sprockets 4. The two driven sprockets 4 are connected by a chain 5. A first connector is provided on the chain 5. The first connector is used to install the charging cable. With this configuration, the movement trajectory of the first connector can be made to conform to the shape of the new energy vehicle through the driven sprockets 4 and the chain 5, thereby improving the displacement effect of the displacement system on the charging cable and charging gun in the compartment 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the first connecting component includes a connecting plate 6, the upper end of which is fixedly mounted on the chain 5, and the lower end of which is rotatably provided with a hinge 7. A mounting sleeve 8 is hinged to the hinge 7. The mounting sleeve 8 is used to install the charging cable. With this configuration, the connecting plate 6 and the hinge 7 allow the mounting sleeve 8 to adaptively float and adjust the position of the charging gun when the driver tows the charging gun, thus avoiding excessive bending of the charging cable at the mounting sleeve 8.

[0031] Furthermore, a second connector 9 is also provided on the chain 5. One end of the second connector 9 is hinged to the chain 5 via a torsion spring 10, and the charging cable is attached to the other end of the second connector 9. With this configuration, the charging cable and charging gun can be stored in the upper part of the compartment 1 without external force through the second connector 9 and the torsion spring 10. Under the action of external force, the second connector 9 rotates, and the charging cable and charging gun can move up and down to adapt to charging ports of different heights. At the same time, there is no need for operators to lift and drag the heavy charging cable and charging gun, saving time and effort.

[0032] In this embodiment, the displacement system also includes a displacement motor 11, which is disposed on the upper surface inside the chamber 1. The output shaft of the displacement motor 11 is connected to a drive sprocket 12 via a reducer. The drive sprocket 12 is meshed with the chain 5. With this configuration, the displacement motor 11 and the drive sprocket 12 can automatically move the charging gun and charging cable in the horizontal direction without the need for manual dragging of the charging gun.

[0033] Furthermore, an identification unit 14 is provided on the outer end face of the first opening 2 of the compartment 1. The identification unit 14 is used to identify objects outside the compartment 1. In this embodiment, the identification unit 14 is a camera. With this configuration, the identification unit 14 can identify whether there is a new energy vehicle outside the compartment 1 so as to open the corresponding roller shutter door. At the same time, the new energy vehicle model can be identified and the corresponding control signal can be transmitted to the shifting system to transfer the charging gun to the charging port side before driving in.

[0034] In this embodiment, a ramp 15 is also provided at the first opening 2. The ramp 15 is detachably connected to the compartment 1. With this configuration, the ramp 15 can facilitate vehicles that need to be charged to smoothly drive into the charging compartment. At the same time, the ramp 15 can also remind other vehicles that do not need to be charged that there are foreign objects here, and remind other drivers that parking their vehicles here will affect the entry and exit of charging vehicles.
