Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of charging pile technology, and in particular relates to a retractable charging pile. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the electric vehicle market, the demand for charging stations has exploded. However, most charging stations currently on the market are fixed structures, and once installed, their position and height are difficult to adjust. Given the varying heights of charging interfaces for different vehicle models, fixed-height charging stations often force users to use excessively long charging cables. This not only causes extreme inconvenience but also makes the long cables dragging on the ground highly susceptible to wear and tear, posing a serious safety hazard. In space-constrained areas such as narrow parking spaces or corners of underground parking lots, fixed-size charging stations often occupy too much space, significantly impacting the parking and traffic efficiency of other vehicles. When the surrounding environment of charging stations changes, such as parking space replanning or ground maintenance, fixed-installation charging stations, lacking flexibility, are difficult to reposition quickly and often require reinstallation, undoubtedly increasing time and economic costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the technical problem that the charging structure of existing charging piles is fixed or can only be extended and retracted to a fixed distance, which makes them inconvenient to use, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable charging pile.
[0004] The retractable charging station of this utility model includes:
[0005] The box body has an opening on one side;
[0006] A charging interface, which can extend out of the box opening or be retracted and locked at the box opening;
[0007] The drive mechanism is located inside the housing;
[0008] A movable cable box with different distances is provided. One end of the cable box is fixedly connected to the drive mechanism, and the other end of the cable box extends out of the box opening and is fixedly connected to the charging interface. The drive mechanism drives the cable box to move, thereby causing the charging interface to extend and retract at the box opening.
[0009] Preferably, the housing is equipped with two positioning infrared sensors with an adjustable spacing, and the cable box is fixedly equipped with a positioning sensor that can move with the cable box. When the positioning infrared sensor detects the positioning sensor, the drive mechanism drives the cable box to stop moving.
[0010] Preferably, the distance between the two infrared positioning sensors is 0mm to 200mm, and more preferably 200mm.
[0011] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes:
[0012] Two parallel guide rails are fixedly mounted on the bottom plate inside the box, and the positioning infrared sensor is located on one side of the guide rails;
[0013] The drive motor is fixedly installed inside the housing;
[0014] A lead screw is located between the two guide rails, and one end of the lead screw is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor.
[0015] The sliding slider has its two ends respectively locked onto the two guide rails, and its middle part is threadedly connected to the lead screw. One end of the wire box is fixed to the bottom of the slider, so that the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the slider and the wire box to move on the guide rails.
[0016] Preferably, the positioning sensor is located on the lower side of the cable box, above the infrared positioning sensor, and moves with the cable box. When the infrared positioning sensor detects the positioning sensor, the drive motor stops rotating, thereby stopping the cable box from moving. Preferably, the cable box is a rectangular cable box.
[0017] Preferably, a stop infrared sensor is provided on the side of the housing away from the charging interface, and a stop infrared sensor element is fixedly provided at one end of the cable box. When the cable box drives the stop infrared sensor element to extend or retract to a certain distance from the stop infrared sensor, the drive motor stops rotating.
[0018] Preferably, the drive motor stops rotating when the stop infrared sensor extends to a distance of 55mm from the stop infrared sensor.
[0019] Preferably, the housing is provided with a linear slide rail parallel to the guide rail, and the upper surface of the wire box is provided with a pulley, which is slidably engaged on the linear slide rail.
[0020] Preferably, the box body is symmetrically provided with two linear slide rails parallel to the guide rails, and pulleys are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the wire box, and the two pulleys are slidably locked on the two linear slide rails; preferably, a vertical fixing plate is fixedly provided on the surface of the wire box, and the pulleys are rotatably mounted on the vertical fixing plate.
[0021] Preferably, the outer side of the enclosure is provided with an accordion dust cover at the enclosure opening. One end of the accordion dust cover is fixed to the periphery of the enclosure opening, and the other end is fixed to the other end of the cable box and the periphery of the charging interface. Thus, the other end of the cable box and the charging interface are indirectly connected through the accordion dust cover.

[0025] 2) The cable box of this utility model sets the extension distance by using a positioning infrared sensor and a positioning sensor, so that the charging interface can be extended or retracted by a specific distance according to the user's needs, avoiding the charging interface from extending or retracting too far or too short, and thus becoming more applicable.

[0029] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic charging pile of this utility model includes a housing 11, a charging interface 12, a junction box 13, and a drive mechanism. An opening is provided on one side of the housing 11. The charging interface 12 is telescopically mounted at the opening of the housing 11 via the junction box 13. The drive mechanism is located inside the housing 11. One end of the junction box 13 is fixedly connected to the drive mechanism, and the other end of the junction box 13 extends through the opening and is indirectly connected to the charging interface 12. The drive mechanism moves the junction box 13, thereby causing the charging interface 12 to telescopically extend or retract at the opening. The other end of the junction box 13 is indirectly connected to the charging interface 12 via a accordion dust cover; alternatively, the other end of the junction box 13 can be directly and fixedly connected to the charging interface 12.
[0031] In this example, the wire box 13 is a rectangular wire box. On the one hand, the wire box 13 can drive the charging interface 12 to move in extension and retraction under the action of the drive mechanism. On the other hand, the inside of the wire box 13 is used to store the wires on the coil and the wires for electrical connection.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism includes two parallel guide rails 141, a drive motor 142, a lead screw 143, and a slidable slider 144. The guide rails 141 are fixedly mounted on the bottom plate inside the housing 11. The drive motor 142 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 11, for example, on the side wall inside the housing 11. The lead screw 143 is located between the two guide rails 141, and one end of the lead screw 143 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 142, so that the rotation of the motor shaft of the drive motor 142 drives the lead screw 143 to rotate. Both ends of the slider 144 are respectively engaged on the two guide rails 141, and the lead screw 143 passes through the middle of the slider 144, with the middle of the slider 144 threadedly connected to the lead screw 143, so that the rotation of the lead screw 143 driven by the drive motor 142 causes the slider 144 to move on the guide rails 141. In this example, one end of the junction box 13 is fixedly mounted on the slider 144. For example, the bottom of one end of the junction box 13 is fixed to the upper surface of the slider 144 by screws, or the bottom of one end of the junction box 13 is integrally formed with the slider 144; this is not limited here. The drive motor 142 drives the lead screw 143 to rotate, thereby causing the slider 144 and one end of the junction box 13 to move on the guide rail 141, thereby causing the charging interface 12 at the other end of the junction box 13 to extend in and out at the box opening.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a linear slide rail 145 parallel to the guide rail 141 is provided inside the housing 11, and a pulley 146 is provided on the upper surface of the wire box 13, which is slidably engaged on the linear slide rail 145. Further, in this example, two linear slide rails 145 parallel to the guide rail 141 are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 11, and pulleys 146 are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the wire box 13, with each pulley 146 slidably engaged on one of the two linear slide rails 145. The number of slide rails 145 and pulleys 146 is variable, as long as they provide a stable, limiting, and guiding function for the wire box 13. Furthermore, a vertical fixing plate 147 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the wire box 13, and the pulley 146 is rotatably mounted on this vertical fixing plate 147. The linear guide rail 145 and pulley 146 enable the wire box 13 to move linearly more stably and reduce the pressure of the wire box 13 on the guide rail 141. That is, the pressure-dividing form drives the wire box 13 to perform linear transmission, which can effectively increase the product life.
[0034] Continue as Figure 3As shown, two adjustable-distance positioning infrared sensors 151 are provided inside the housing 11. In this example, the positioning infrared sensors 151 are located on one side of the guide rail 141. A positioning sensor 152 that can move with the wiring box 13 is fixedly provided on the wiring box 13. In this example, the positioning sensor 152 is located on the lower side of the wiring box 13, above the infrared positioning sensors 151, and moves with the wiring box 13. The positions of the positioning infrared sensors 151 and the positioning sensor 152 are not limited here, as long as the positioning sensor 152 can move with the wiring box 13 and can sense the positioning infrared sensors 151. The positioning infrared sensors 151 can sense the positioning sensor 152. When the positioning infrared sensors 151 sense the positioning sensor 152, the drive motor 142 stops rotating, thereby stopping the wiring box 13 from moving. In this example, the distance between the two positioning infrared sensors 151 is 0mm to 200mm, preferably 200mm. The telescopic distance between the junction box 13 and the charging interface 12 is controlled by adjusting the distance between the positioning infrared sensors 151.
[0035] Continue as Figure 3 As shown, a stop infrared sensor 161 is provided on the side of the housing 11 away from the charging interface 12. A stop infrared sensor 162 is fixedly provided on one end of the wiring box 13, that is, the stop infrared sensor 161 is fixed, and the stop infrared sensor 162 moves with the wiring box 13. The positions of the stop infrared sensor 161 and the stop infrared sensor 162 are not limited here, as long as the stop infrared sensor 162 can move with the wiring box 13 and can sense the stop infrared sensor 161. When the stop infrared sensor 161 senses that the wiring box 13 causes the stop infrared sensor 162 to extend or retract to a certain distance from the stop infrared sensor 161, the drive motor 142 stops rotating, thereby causing the wiring box 13 to stop moving, preventing the wiring box 13 from retracting too deeply when it retracts into the housing 11. In this example, when the stop infrared sensor 162 extends to a distance of 55mm from the stop infrared sensor 161, the drive motor 142 stops rotating, thereby stopping the junction box 13 from moving.
[0036] In this example, continue as follows Figure 1As shown, an accordion dust cover 17 is provided on the outside of the housing 11 at the opening. One end of the accordion dust cover 17 is fixed to the periphery of the opening, and the other end is fixed to the periphery of the charging interface 12 and the outer end of the other end of the junction box 13. That is, the other end of the junction box 13 is indirectly connected to the charging interface 12 through the accordion dust cover 17. Thus, the junction box 13 drives the accordion dust cover 17 to extend and retract, which in turn drives the charging interface 13 to extend and retract together. Alternatively, the other end of the accordion dust cover 17 can be fixedly connected to the periphery of the charging interface 12, and the other end of the junction box 13 can be fixedly connected to the charging interface 12, so that the junction box 13 drives the charging interface 12 to extend and retract, which in turn drives the accordion dust cover 17 to extend and retract together. The accordion dust cover 17 can extend and retract with the charging interface 12, and effectively isolate dust and moisture. Side doors 18 are provided on both sides of the box 11 adjacent to the box opening, so that the internal structure of the box 11 can be adjusted or repaired by opening the side 18. The position and number of side doors are not limited here, as long as the internal structure of the box 11 can be observed after opening the side door.
