Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle charging technology, specifically a novel semi-liquid-cooled charging pile. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with increased environmental awareness and technological advancements, new energy vehicles (NEVs), especially electric vehicles (EVs), have been rapidly promoted globally. Electric vehicles not only reduce the environmental pollution caused by traditional gasoline-powered vehicles but also provide users with a more economical and convenient mode of transportation. However, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles faces a key bottleneck—slow charging speeds and insufficient charging infrastructure. Especially during long-distance travel or emergencies, the long wait for charging becomes a major pain point in the user experience.

[0003] Traditional DC charging stations mostly use air-cooling systems. These systems use fans to draw air into the charging station to dissipate heat generated by electrical components and rectifier modules. While this method is low-cost and easy to maintain, its heat dissipation efficiency is limited, making it difficult to support high-power fast charging. Under high current conditions, air-cooling systems require thicker cables to increase the heat dissipation area, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also makes the charging gun cables bulky, affecting the user experience.

[0004] To overcome these challenges, liquid cooling technology has been gradually introduced into charging equipment. Liquid-cooled supercharging stations utilize a dedicated liquid circulation channel between the cable and the charging gun, efficiently removing heat generated during charging. This allows thinner cables to carry larger charging currents, significantly improving charging efficiency and speed. Despite the numerous advantages of a fully liquid-cooled system, its high cost and technical complexity limit its large-scale application. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a semi-liquid-cooled novel charging pile, comprising multiple power modules connected in parallel. The parallel circuit composed of the multiple power modules is electrically connected to a module soft-start PCB, a filter WF, a step-down power supply KP, and a liquid cooling system via a contactor. The module soft-start PCB is electrically connected to the filter WF and the step-down power supply KP. The filter WF is electrically connected to a voltage regulator FVC, the step-down power supply KP, and a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is electrically connected to a high-voltage DC input. The voltage regulator FVC is grounded. The step-down power supply KP is electrically connected to multiple power supply UP modules, which are connected in parallel.

At the same time, the system power supply module, BMS power supply module, fan power supply module, and liquid cooling pump power supply module are all electrically connected to a step-down power supply KP, and the system power supply module is electrically connected to a circuit breaker.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] Firstly, by employing a liquid cooling system, this utility model enables the charging pile to more effectively remove the heat generated by the power module, thereby maintaining a lower operating temperature when working under high power density and providing more stable performance in high-temperature environments.

[0014] Secondly, by setting up multiple independent and parallel power supply UP modules (such as system power supply module, BMS power supply module, fan power supply module and liquid cooling pump power supply module), the power supply strategy can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring that each component can obtain a stable and appropriate power supply.
