Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging device technology, and in particular to an automatic charging pile with retractable cable. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles have become a major focus of global attention, and as a promising green mode of transportation, their adoption is expected to accelerate rapidly. Charging stations, similar to gas pumps at gas stations, can be fixed to the ground or walls and installed in public buildings, residential parking lots, or charging stations to charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent "CN217804362U" discloses "a home charging pile". The charging pile body and mounting base are detachably connected, with the mounting base movably connected to a fixing plate. The fixing plate is then fixed to a wall or other object, allowing for the installation of the home charging pile and reducing the risk of damage to the main body during installation. However, current charging piles lack features for limiting and storing the charging cable, resulting in the charging cable dragging on the floor during use. This not only affects the aesthetics of the floor but also easily causes wear and tear on the charging cable. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic charging pile with retractable cable, which solves the problem that the charging pile in the existing technology will cause the charging cable to drag on the ground, which not only affects the appearance of the ground, but also easily causes wear and damage to the charging cable.
[0005] According to the embodiments of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] An automatic charging station with retractable cable includes a charging gun and a charging cable connected to the charging gun, and further includes:
[0007] Base plate;
[0008] A mounting bracket is slidably mounted on the base plate. The mounting bracket is equipped with a mounting seat, and the charging gun is snapped into the mounting seat.
[0009] The drive unit includes a drive plate that is slidably mounted on the base plate and connected to the mounting bracket, and a drive component mounted on the base plate. The drive component is connected to the drive plate and is used to move the drive plate along the height direction of the base plate to make the charging gun move up and down.
[0010] Preferably, the driving component includes a gear rotatably mounted on the driving plate, a rack fixedly mounted on the base plate, the gear meshing with the rack, and the driving plate also includes a driver whose output shaft is connected to the gear.
[0011] Preferably, the base plate is fixedly provided with a slide rail, and the drive plate is provided with a slider corresponding to the slide rail, the slider being slidably engaged with the slide rail.
[0012] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a fixed seat, and the drive plate and the fixed seat are respectively provided with a first limiting wheel and a second limiting wheel, and the charging cable is wound between the first limiting wheel and the second limiting wheel.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a housing, which is fastened to the base plate, and the mounting bracket is slidably disposed on the housing.
[0014] Preferably, a limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the housing, and the end of the charging cable passes through the limiting hole and is connected to the charging gun.
[0015] Preferably, the two ends of the shell extend to the sides to form protrusions.
[0016] Preferably, both protrusions are provided with mounting edges, and both mounting edges are provided with mounting holes for bolts to pass through.
[0017] Preferably, the mounting base is equipped with a protective sleeve, and the charging gun is inserted into the protective sleeve.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] In this solution, the charging gun is mounted on a mounting bracket that can slide on the base plate. With the cooperation of the drive unit, the drive plate moves along the height direction of the base plate through the drive component. This causes the drive plate to move the mounting bracket connected to it up and down on the base plate, thereby adjusting the height of the charging gun. When in use, the mounting bracket can be lowered for easy use of the charging gun, and when not in use, the charging gun can be raised. This not only prevents unauthorized use but also enables the cable to be retracted, effectively avoiding the charging cable from dragging on the ground and ensuring the lifespan of the charging cable and its own cleanliness.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an automatic charging station with retractable cable, including a charging gun 1 and a charging cable 2 connected to the charging gun 1, and further including:
[0027] Base plate 4;
[0028] A mounting bracket 5 is slidably mounted on the base plate 4. The mounting bracket 5 is provided with a mounting seat 6, and the charging gun 1 is snapped into the mounting seat 6.
[0029] The drive unit includes a drive plate 8 that is slidably disposed on the base plate 4 and connected to the mounting bracket 5, and a drive component disposed on the base plate 4. The drive component is connected to the drive plate 8 and is used to move the drive plate 8 along the height direction of the base plate 4 so as to make the charging gun 1 move up and down.
[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, by mounting the charging gun 1 on the mounting bracket 5 that can slide on the base plate 4, and with the cooperation of the drive unit, the drive plate 8 is moved along the height direction of the base plate 4 by the drive component, thereby causing the drive plate 8 to drive the mounting bracket 5 connected to it to move up and down on the base plate 4, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the charging gun 1.
[0031] During use, the drive plate 8 can be lowered using the drive unit, thereby lowering the position of the mounting bracket 5 connected to the drive plate 8 to facilitate the use of the charging gun 1. Specifically, the position of the charging gun 1 can be adjusted as needed, so that the charging gun 1 can be connected to the car while preventing the charging cable 2 from being too long and dragging on the ground. Furthermore, when not in use, the charging gun 1 can be raised, which not only prevents unauthorized use but also enables the cable to be retracted. By raising the charging gun 1, one end of the charging cable 2 is raised, effectively preventing the charging cable 2 from dragging on the ground. Since the charging cable 2 no longer directly contacts the ground, the damage to the charging cable 2 caused by external environmental factors is reduced, thereby ensuring the service life and cleanliness of the charging cable 2.
[0032] Furthermore, it is not limited to vertical wall mounting. For middle parking spaces that cannot be placed against a wall, the charging pile can be installed against the wall, and the charging gun 1 can be moved to meet the charging needs of the car, making it more versatile.
[0033] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving component includes a gear 18 rotatably mounted on the driving plate 8, a rack 17 fixedly mounted on the base plate 4, the gear 18 meshing with the rack 17, and the driving plate 8 also has a driver 16, the output shaft of the driver 16 being connected to the gear 18.
[0034] Specifically, when the drive plate 8 is driven up and down by the drive component, the driver 16 is started. The output shaft of the driver 16 rotates, causing the gear 18 connected to it to rotate. Since the rack 17 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 4, when the gear 18 rotates, it travels on the rack 17. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driver 16, the drive plate 8 moves up and down, thus raising and lowering the charging gun 1. When the driver 16 stops moving, the shaft self-locks, ensuring stability after stopping and preventing displacement under the action of the gear 18 and rack 17. The aforementioned driver 16 uses a forward and reverse motor or a forward and reverse reversing motor with a self-locking function.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base plate 4 is fixedly provided with a slide rail 14, and the drive plate 8 is provided with a slider 15 corresponding to the slide rail 14. The slider 15 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 14. With the combination of the slide rail 14 and the slider 15, it can be ensured that the drive plate 8 maintains linear motion when moving along the height direction of the base plate 4, avoiding possible deviation or shaking, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the entire lifting process.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base plate 4 is provided with a fixed seat 7, and the drive plate 8 and the fixed seat 7 are respectively provided with a first limiting wheel 9 and a second limiting wheel 10. The charging cable 2 is wound between the first limiting wheel 9 and the second limiting wheel 10. The position of the second limiting wheel 10 is fixed with the position of the fixed seat 7. The second limiting wheel 10 can only rotate, while the first limiting wheel 9 can move up and down with the drive plate 8. When installing the charging cable 2, the charging cable 2 is wound between the first limiting wheel 9 and the second limiting wheel 10. When the charging gun 1 is lowered, the charging cable 2 stored in the base plate 4 can be unfolded. When using a longer charging cable 2, the height of the first limiting wheel 9 can be controlled to store the excess charging cable 2 at the base plate 4.
[0037] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 1As shown, it also includes a housing 3, which is fastened to the base plate 4, and a mounting bracket 5 is slidably mounted on the housing 3. The housing 3 not only makes the whole structure more aesthetically pleasing, but also provides effective physical protection for the entire charging pile interior to a certain extent, preventing dust and other contaminants from entering the equipment interior, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and improving its reliability.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 3, and the end of the charging cable 2 passes through the limiting hole 11 and is connected to the charging gun 1; the limiting hole 11 provides a fixed channel for the charging cable 2, which helps to manage and fix the position of the charging cable 2 and effectively prevents the charging cable 2 from swinging randomly during use.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the housing 3 extend to the sides to form protrusions 19; the protrusions 19 form additional mounting points, and by mounting the protrusions 19 on the wall, the flatness of the wall surface can be ignored.
[0040] Meanwhile, both protrusions 19 are provided with mounting edges 12, and both mounting edges 12 are provided with mounting holes 13 for bolts to pass through. Bolts can be directly passed through the mounting holes 13 and fixed to the wall, providing a firm and simple installation method.
[0041] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 6 is rotatably equipped with a protective sleeve 20, and the charging gun 1 is inserted into the protective sleeve 20; the interface of the charging gun 1 can be protected by the protective sleeve 20.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
