Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of charging pile technology and relates to an intelligent door lock charging pile. Background Technology

[0002] In existing charging stations, mechanical locks are generally used for the doors. (See...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The design principle of this type of door lock is simple and straightforward, relying on a matching physical key to achieve the opening and closing functions. However, mechanical door locks have revealed many limitations in practical applications.

[0003] First, mechanical door lock keys are usually small and easy to lose while carrying them. In emergencies, such as when an electric vehicle runs out of power and urgently needs charging, if the key is not with you or has been lost, the cabinet door will not be able to be opened in time, causing great inconvenience to the car owner.

[0004] Secondly, from a security perspective, mechanical door locks offer relatively low anti-theft performance. Because the structure and principle of these locks are relatively simple, criminals could potentially obtain the key information illegally and then create a key to open the charging station cabinet. This not only threatens the property security of the charging stations but could also be exploited by criminals for illegal activities, such as stealing internal equipment or maliciously damaging the charging stations.

[0005] In summary, existing mechanical door lock charging stations have the following problems:

[0006] 1. The door can only be opened with a mechanical key. If the key is lost or not on hand, there is no other way to open the door in an emergency. The single unlocking method makes the charging station inconvenient to use.

[0007] 2. It cannot monitor and record the actual scene of the door opening, resulting in poor security. Utility Model Content
