[0031] With increasing environmental awareness and stricter emission restrictions on traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, the electric vehicle market is rapidly emerging, leading to a growing demand for charging infrastructure. In related technologies, to prevent water from entering the charging port of a car charging station during rainy days, the charging port is often located at the bottom of the charging station. Simultaneously, to protect the charging port from easy impacts from external structures, it is sometimes hidden behind the front shell 30 of the charging station. However, this design makes the charging port difficult for users to see, increasing the difficulty of using the charging station and affecting its convenience.

[0032] This utility model proposes a casing for a charging pile, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the ease of use of car charging piles.

[0033] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the outer casing of the charging pile includes: a rear shell 10, which has a front-opening rear cavity and a charging interface on its bottom wall; a charging connector 20, which is installed at the charging interface and partially extends out of the bottom wall; and a front shell 30, which covers the opening of the rear shell 10, with the bottom end of the front shell 30 lower than the end of the charging connector 20, and an exposed notch 301 at the bottom of the front shell 30 for the end of the charging connector 20 to be exposed on the front side of the outer casing of the charging pile.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rear shell 10 can be hung on a wall, such as an outdoor wall, so that the entire charging pile is mounted on an outdoor wall. The charging connector 20 is installed on the bottom wall of the rear shell 10, thereby preventing rainwater and other moisture from entering the rear shell 10 through the charging connector 20, thus preventing water from affecting the functional components inside the charging pile. The front shell 30 forms the front appearance of the charging pile. Compared with the rear shell 10, the front shell 30 is more susceptible to impacts from external structures on the front of the charging pile, such as being accidentally hit by a car or by a thrown object. The functional components of the charging pile are mainly installed in the rear cavity, so the functional components are less likely to be affected by impact when the front shell 30 is impacted, thereby improving the protection effect on the functional components. The bottom end of the front shell 30 is lower than the end of the charging connector 20, so the front shell 30 also protects the charging connector 20, preventing the charging connector 20 from being directly impacted, thereby improving the structural stability of the charging connector 20. In this way, even if the charging pile is hit by an external structure from the front, the impact force is mainly borne by the front shell 30, which reduces the damage to the internal functional components and charging connectors 20, thereby reducing the overall damage to the charging pile and reducing the maintenance cost of the charging pile.

[0035] Since the bottom of the front cover 30 is lower than the end of the charging connector 20, the charging connector 20 will inevitably be obscured by the front cover 30. The exposed notch 301 allows the end of the charging connector 20 to be exposed on the front side of the front cover 30, making it easier for users to see and touch the charging connector 20 from the front of the charging station when using it. In this way, while ensuring the protection of the charging connector 20, the convenience of using the car charging station is improved.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the width of the exposed notch 301 gradually increases from top to bottom. In this way, the size of the charging connector 20 exposed through the exposed notch 301 can be reasonably controlled, and the front cover 30 can effectively cover the main part of the charging connector 20.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the bottom wall of the front shell 30 includes a first bottom wall 31 and a second bottom wall 32 connected at an angle, and the first bottom wall 31 and the second bottom wall 32 surround to form the exposed notch 301; the front side wall of the front shell 30 includes a first side wall 331 and a second side wall 332, the bottom side of the first side wall 331 is adjacent to the front side of the first bottom wall 31, the bottom side of the second side wall 332 is adjacent to the front side of the second bottom wall 32, the distance between the first side wall 331 and the second side wall 332 and the rear shell 10 gradually increases from bottom to top, and the first side wall 331 and the second side wall 332 are connected at an angle at the centerline of the front shell 30.

[0038] The first bottom wall 31 and the second bottom wall 32 are connected at the centerline of the front shell 30. The first bottom wall 31 and the second bottom wall 32 extend downwards in a direction away from the centerline of the front shell 30 to enclose and form an exposed notch 301. The first side wall 331 extends forwards from the side connected to the first bottom wall 31, and the second side wall 332 extends forwards from the side connected to the second bottom wall 32. The first side wall 331 and the second side wall 332 can enclose and form a guide opening. The guide opening is located above the exposed notch 301. The guide opening can improve the appearance integration of the front shell 30 and guide the user's gaze toward the exposed notch 301. Thus, when the user looks at the front shell 30, it is easier to see the charging connector 20 behind the exposed notch 301 through the guide opening, thereby further improving the convenience of using the charging pile.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first sidewall 331 and the second sidewall 332 are triangular. The front sidewall of the front shell 30 also includes a third sidewall 333. The third sidewall 333 is located above the first sidewall 331 and the second sidewall 332. The width of the third sidewall 333 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The lower end of the third sidewall 333 forms a apex angle and connects with the connection between the first sidewall 331 and the second sidewall 332. The distance between the third sidewall 333 and the rear shell 10 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0040] The third sidewall 333 slopes backward from bottom to top. The intersection of the first sidewall 331, the second sidewall 332 and the third sidewall 333 is the most prominent position of the front shell 30. The first sidewall 331, the second sidewall 332 and the third sidewall 333 are all inclined in the vertical direction, which can increase the area of ​​the front sidewall of the front shell 30, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the front shell 30 and improving the heat dissipation effect of the charging pile.

[0041] In practical applications, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the front sidewall of the front shell 30 further includes a fourth sidewall 334 and a fifth sidewall 335. The fourth sidewall 334 is formed between the upper side of the first sidewall 331, the left side of the third sidewall 333, and the left side of the front shell 30. The fifth sidewall 335 is formed between the upper side of the second sidewall 332, the right side of the third sidewall 333, and the right side of the front shell 30. The fourth sidewall 334 and the fifth sidewall 335 are convex arc surfaces. Both the fourth sidewall 334 and the fifth sidewall 335 are inclined in the vertical direction. The convex arc surfaces of the fourth sidewall 334 and the fifth sidewall 335, compared to being flat, can increase the area of ​​the front sidewall of the front shell 30, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the front shell 30 and improving the heat dissipation effect of the charging pile.

[0042] For example, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the rear shell 10 includes a shell body 11 and a connecting frame 12. The connecting frame 12 is connected to the opening of the shell body 11. The rearward projection of the connecting frame 12 is larger than the rearward projection of the shell body 11. The charging interface is located on the bottom wall of the shell body 11. The shape of the connecting frame 12 corresponds to the shape of the front shell 30. The bottom of the connecting frame 12 has a clearance notch 121 corresponding to the exposed notch 301. The rearward projection area of ​​the front shell 30 is larger than the rearward projection area of ​​the shell body 11. The connecting frame 12 is connected to the front shell 30 to achieve a stable connection between the front shell 30 and the rear shell 10. The shape and size of the clearance notch 121 are the same as the shape and size of the exposed notch 301.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sealing groove 122 is provided at the front end of the connecting frame 12. The sealing groove 122 extends circumferentially along the opening of the rear shell 10. A sealing ring 40 is provided inside the sealing groove 122. The front shell 30 has a protruding sealing edge 34 corresponding to the sealing groove 122. The sealing edge 34 cooperates with the sealing groove 122 and presses the sealing ring 40 into the sealing groove 122. The sealing edge 34 extends circumferentially along the front shell 30 and cooperates with the sealing groove 122 to achieve pre-fixation of the front shell 30 and the connecting frame 12, which facilitates the subsequent formal fixing process of the front shell 30 and the connecting frame 12. The sealing ring 40 is a rubber ring or a silicone ring. The sealing ring 40 can seal the gap between the sealing edge 34 and the bottom of the sealing groove 122, preventing external moisture from entering the sealing groove 122 and then entering the shell, thereby improving the sealing effect between the front shell 30 and the rear shell 10 and improving the waterproof capability of the charging pile shell.

[0044] In practical applications, such as Figure 6As shown, a fixing post 35 protrudes from the inner wall of the front shell 30 towards the rear shell 10. A fixing hole 351 is formed at the end of the fixing post 35. A positioning cylinder 123 protrudes from the inner wall of the connecting frame 12. A through hole 124 communicating with the positioning cylinder 123 is formed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 12. The end of the fixing post 35 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 123. The through hole 124 and the fixing hole 351 are connected by fasteners. After the end of the fixing post 35 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 123, the fixing hole 351 corresponds to the through hole 124. Fasteners can be inserted through the through hole 124 and fixedly connected to the fixing hole 351 to achieve a fixed connection between the front shell 30 and the rear shell 10. Since the through hole 124 is located on the side of the connecting frame 12 away from the front shell 30, it is not exposed on the front of the charging pile's outer shell, thus avoiding any impact on the charging pile's appearance and improving the overall aesthetic integrity of the charging pile's outer shell.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top wall of the shell body 11 is provided with two diversion slopes 111, which are connected at the centerline of the shell body 11. The height of the two diversion slopes 111 gradually decreases from the connected end to the opposite end. The diversion slopes 111 can divert water falling on the top wall of the shell body 11 to both sides and flow downwards, so that the water leaves the top wall of the shell body 11 more quickly. This prevents water from accumulating on the top of the charging pile's outer shell, which could lead to the growth of bacteria or moss, thus ensuring the clean appearance of the charging pile's outer shell.

[0046] This utility model also proposes a car charging pile, which includes a charging pile shell. The specific structure of the charging pile shell is as described in the above embodiments. Since this car charging pile adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
