Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically a protective device for new energy charging piles. Background Technology

[0002] As a key charging facility for new energy electric vehicles, charging piles have been widely deployed and applied in recent years. These charging piles are typically fixed on the ground and are commonly found in various public places such as shopping malls, office buildings, public parking lots, residential parking lots, and dedicated charging stations. These charging piles are designed in various ways and can support multiple charging modes, including conventional charging and fast charging, to meet the diverse needs of different scenarios and users.

[0003] However, current technology lacks effective protection mechanisms for the corners and edges of new energy vehicle charging stations. Because charging stations may face various external environmental challenges during use, such as accidental collisions with pedestrians or minor scratches from vehicles, the corners and edges are often the most vulnerable parts. When an object or person impacts a corner of the charging station, the lack of necessary protective measures makes it highly susceptible to damage from the impact. This damage not only affects the appearance of the charging station but, more importantly, may expose internal wiring and components, creating safety hazards. Exposed wiring can lead to short circuits, electrical leaks, and other dangerous situations, threatening people and property. Furthermore, damage to the charging station can prevent the equipment from functioning properly, increasing additional equipment repair costs and time. Even more seriously, the corners of new energy vehicle charging stations are typically right angles. In the event of a collision, these sharp right angles can easily cause bodily injury to those struck. Whether it's a minor abrasion or a serious impact injury, it can pose unnecessary medical risks and safety hazards to the victim.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a protective device for new energy charging piles to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a protective device for new energy charging piles, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the fact that existing new energy charging piles are easily damaged when subjected to such external impacts due to their structural characteristics, either by accidental impact from an object or by accidental collision with a person. Even more serious is the fact that the corners of existing new energy charging piles are generally right angles. At the moment of impact, these sharp right angles act like hidden "blades," easily causing bodily injury to those who are bumped into them.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a protective device for a new energy charging pile, comprising a pile body; protective mechanisms are provided on the corners of the pile body, each protective mechanism including a fixed corner plate fixedly installed on the pile body, an airbag pad fixedly connected to the end of the fixed corner plate away from the pile body, and a sponge pad fixedly disposed within the airbag pad; wherein, a groove is formed at the end of the airbag pad near the fixed corner plate, and the fixed corner plate is fixedly embedded in the groove. When an object impacts the corner of the pile body, it will first contact the airbag pad. The surface slippage of the airbag pad will disperse the impact force generated by the object, and the sponge pad will absorb the impact force, reducing the impact force on the corner of the pile body, thereby reducing the degree of damage to the pile body and injury to personnel.

[0007] Preferably, to improve the strength of the fixing angle plate, the fixing angle plate is made of stainless steel. This increases the strength of the fixing angle plate, ensuring that the protective mechanism can still function normally after repeated impacts. It also prevents the airbag and sponge pads from shifting or falling off due to deformation of the fixing angle plate, greatly extending the overall service life of the protective mechanism and ensuring the durability and stability of the protective function.

[0008] Preferably, the airbag cushion is made of TPU soft rubber. This significantly improves the protection of the pile's edges and corners, effectively reducing the risk of pile damage due to impact. Its good elasticity and wear resistance reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, saving maintenance costs.

[0009] Preferably, to facilitate the restoration of the protective mechanism to its original state, the sponge pad is made of polyethylene sponge. This effectively cushions the impact force, further reducing the possibility of damage to the pile and injury to personnel. It also boasts excellent environmental performance, conforming to modern green environmental protection concepts, and will not cause pollution to the environment in widespread application.

[0010] Preferably, to reduce wear between the fixing angle plate and the charging pile, a rubber pad is provided on the fixing angle plate to separate the fixing angle plate from the charging pile. This reduces wear between the fixing angle plate and the charging pile, protects the surface integrity of the charging pile, and extends the service life of the charging pile. It also reduces noise and vibration caused by friction, improving the overall stability and user experience of the charging pile.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate the replacement of the protective mechanism: a fixing seat is fixedly fitted at both the top and bottom of the airbag cushion, and a through hole is provided on the fixing seat, into which a screw threadedly connected to the charging pile body is inserted. The design of the fixing seat, through hole, and screw greatly facilitates the replacement of the damaged protective mechanism, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs, as it eliminates the need to replace the entire charging pile equipment; only the damaged protective mechanism needs to be replaced.

[0012] Preferably, to facilitate the positioning and installation of the fixing seat: the airbag cushion has a slot adapted to the fixing seat, and the fixing seat is engaged in the slot. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the installation of the protective mechanism, avoiding installation difficulties or instability caused by the misalignment of the fixing seat. It ensures the stability of the protective mechanism during use, enabling it to better perform its protective function and guaranteeing the safe operation of the charging pile.

[0013] This application effectively reduces the extent of damage to the charging station and injuries to personnel through its protective mechanism. The airbag cushion prevents external impacts from directly affecting the foam pad, greatly extending the lifespan of the foam pad and reducing the cost and manpower required for frequent foam pad replacements. Its overall protective design significantly enhances the safety of the charging station, reduces the probability of safety accidents caused by collisions, and protects the safety of users and the surrounding environment.

[0014] This application greatly facilitates the replacement of damaged protective mechanisms through the design of the mounting base, through holes, and screws, thus improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs, as it eliminates the need to replace the entire charging pile equipment; only the damaged protective mechanism needs to be replaced.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] This embodiment provides a protective device for new energy charging piles, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the protective device includes a charging pile 1; protective mechanisms 2 are provided on each corner of the charging pile 1. Each protective mechanism 2 includes a fixed corner plate 21 fixedly installed on the charging pile 1, an airbag 22 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed corner plate 21 away from the charging pile 1, and a sponge pad 23 fixedly installed within the airbag 22. To improve the connection strength between the airbag 22 and the fixed corner plate 21, a groove 221 is formed at the end of the airbag 22 near the fixed corner plate 21, and the fixed corner plate 21 is fixedly embedded in the groove 221. The protective mechanism 2 effectively reduces the degree of damage to the charging pile 1 and injury to personnel. The airbag 22 prevents external impacts from directly affecting the sponge pad 23, greatly improving the service life of the sponge pad 23 and reducing the cost and manpower consumption caused by frequent replacement of the sponge pad 23. Its overall protective design significantly enhances the safety of the charging pile, reduces the probability of safety accidents caused by collisions, and protects the safety of users and the surrounding environment.

[0023] To enhance the strength of the fixing angle plate 21, it is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel possesses high strength and good rigidity. When the protective mechanism 2 is impacted, the stainless steel fixing angle plate 21, with its inherent properties, resists the external force generated by the impact, maintaining its shape stability and providing continuous and stable support for the airbag cushion 22 and the sponge pad 23. Due to its robust structure, even under significant impact, it effectively disperses the impact force throughout the entire pile 1, preventing deformation of the fixing angle plate 21 due to excessive local stress, thus ensuring the protective effect. This increases the strength of the fixing angle plate 21, ensuring the protective mechanism 2 can still function normally after multiple impacts. It also prevents the airbag cushion 22 and sponge pad 23 from shifting or falling off due to deformation of the fixing angle plate 21, greatly extending the overall service life of the protective mechanism 2 and guaranteeing the durability and stability of the protective function.

[0024] The airbag cushion 22 is made of TPU soft rubber. The TPU soft rubber airbag cushion 22 possesses unique physical properties. Upon impact, its excellent elasticity allows the airbag cushion 22 to rapidly deform elastically, acting as an elastic buffer to convert the impact force into its own deformation energy. Simultaneously, the slipperiness of its surface guides the direction of motion of the impacting object, dispersing the impact force and preventing it from concentrating on the edges and corners of the pile 1. This significantly improves the protection of the edges and corners of the pile 1, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the pile 1 due to collisions. Its good elasticity and wear resistance reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, saving maintenance costs.

[0025] To facilitate the restoration of the protective mechanism 2 to its original state, the sponge pad 23 is made of polyethylene sponge. The polyethylene sponge pad 23 has a unique porous structure. When impact force is transmitted to the sponge pad 23, these porous structures can compress and rebound, absorbing impact energy through material deformation, thereby reducing the impact force on the edges and corners of the pile 1. Furthermore, the flexibility of the polyethylene sponge allows it to closely conform to the internal shape of the airbag pad 22, evenly dispersing and absorbing impact forces from all directions. It has excellent environmental performance, is non-toxic and odorless, meets relevant environmental standards, and will not cause harm to the environment or human body during use. It effectively buffers the impact force, further reducing the possibility of damage to the pile 1 and injury to personnel. Its good environmental performance aligns with modern green environmental protection concepts and will not cause environmental pollution in widespread application.

[0026] The protective mechanism 2 plays a crucial role in the protection system of the new energy charging pile. The fixed corner plate 21 is securely installed on the pile body 1, serving as the supporting foundation for the entire protective mechanism 2. When an object accidentally collides with the corner of the pile body 1, the airbag cushion 22 is the first point of contact. The airbag cushion 22 is made of TPU soft rubber, which, due to its excellent elasticity, can deform upon impact, using its surface slippage to disperse the impact force. Simultaneously, the sponge pad 23 inside the airbag cushion 22 begins to function. The sponge pad 23 is made of polyethylene sponge, and with its good flexibility and impact resistance, it further absorbs the impact force dispersed by the airbag cushion 22, thereby greatly reducing the direct impact of the impact force on the corner of the pile body 1. Moreover, the airbag cushion 22 has a groove 221 at one end near the fixed corner plate 21, and the fixed corner plate 21 is fixedly embedded in the groove 221. This tight fitting structure makes the airbag cushion 22 and the fixed corner plate 21 firmly connected, and it is not easy to separate or fall off when subjected to multiple collisions, thus ensuring the stability of the protective mechanism 2.

[0027] To reduce wear between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1, a rubber pad 211 is provided on the fixing angle plate 21 to separate it from the pile body 1. The rubber pad 211, located between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1, possesses good elasticity and flexibility. When the fixing angle plate 21 is subjected to external force, the rubber pad 211 can buffer the interaction force between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1 through its own elastic deformation, preventing direct friction between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1 during the stress process. Furthermore, the rubber pad 211 can fill the tiny gaps between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1, making the contact between them tighter and smoother, reducing frictional damage caused by vibration or displacement. This reduces wear between the fixing angle plate 21 and the pile body 1, protects the surface integrity of the pile body 1, and extends its service life. It also reduces noise and vibration caused by friction, improving the overall stability and user experience of the charging pile.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Unlike Embodiment 1, to facilitate the replacement of the protective mechanism 2, a fixing seat 3 is fixedly fitted onto both the top and bottom of the airbag cushion 22. The fixing seat 3 has a through hole 31, into which a screw 32, threadedly connected to the pile body 1, is inserted. By passing the screw 32 through the through hole 31 and threadedly connecting it to the pile body 1, the protective mechanism 2 is detachably fixed to the pile body 1. When the protective mechanism 2 is damaged and needs replacement, a wrench is used to loosen the screw 32, detaching it from the pile body 1, allowing the damaged protective mechanism 2 to be easily removed. Then, the new protective mechanism 2 is installed, the fixing seat 3 is fitted onto the airbag cushion 22, and the fixing seat 3 is again fixed to the pile body 1 using the screw 32, completing the replacement process. The design of the fixing seat 3, through hole 31, and screw 32 greatly facilitates the replacement of the damaged protective mechanism 2, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs, as it eliminates the need to replace the entire charging pile equipment; only the damaged protective mechanism 2 needs to be replaced. This detachable installation method also facilitates regular inspection and maintenance of the protective mechanism 2, ensuring that it is always in good working condition.

[0030] To facilitate the positioning and installation of the fixing seat 3, the airbag cushion 22 has a slot 222 that matches the fixing seat 3, and the fixing seat 3 is engaged in the slot 222. When the fixing seat 3 is engaged in the slot 222, it can be precisely positioned. During the process of fixing the fixing seat 3 in position with screws 32, the slot 222 can limit the displacement of the fixing seat 3 on the airbag cushion 22, ensuring that the through hole 31 of the fixing seat 3 is always aligned with the threaded hole on the pile body 1, which facilitates the installation and tightening of screws 32 and ensures the accuracy and stability of the installation of the protective mechanism 2. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the installation of the protective mechanism 2 and avoids installation difficulties or instability caused by the positional deviation of the fixing seat 3. It ensures the stability of the protective mechanism 2 during use, enabling it to better perform its protective function and ensuring the safe operation of the charging pile.

[0031] It should be noted that many of the standard parts used in this invention are available on the market, while non-standard parts can be specially customized. The connection method used in this invention is also a very common method in the mechanical field, which the inventor will not elaborate on here.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
