[0022] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0023] As Figs. 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a kind of charging piles of charging cable storage, including charging pile main body 1, and charging gun 2, the charging pile main body 1 is equipped with the slot assembly 3 for charging gun 2 insertion, the charging gun 2 is connected with charging cable 4, winding reel 5 is rotationally arranged in charging pile main body 1, winding reel 5 is connected with the drive mechanism 6 that can drive winding reel 5 rotation to make winding reel 5 winding charging cable 4, the slot assembly 3 is equipped with the first stop mechanism 8 that can control drive mechanism 6 stop working when charging gun 2 is separated from slot assembly 3, the second stop mechanism 9 that can control drive mechanism 6 stop working when winding reel 5 winds charging cable 4 to predetermined length is equipped between charging cable 4 and charging pile main body 1.

[0024] Charging gun 2 can transmit power from charging pile to electric vehicle through charging cable 4.Charging gun 2 is placed on charging pile main body 1, slot assembly 3 provides a fixed insertion point for charging gun 2, ensure that charging gun 2 is properly arranged when not in use.Winding reel 5 can wind and release charging cable 4, keep charging cable 4 orderly arranged.Drive mechanism 6 can drive winding reel 5 rotation, to control the winding and unwinding of charging cable 4.The first stop mechanism 8 can control drive mechanism 6 stop working when charging gun 2 is separated from slot assembly 3, so that the user can smoothly insert charging gun 2 into electric vehicle.At the same time, the first stop mechanism 8 can release the control of drive mechanism when charging gun 2 cooperates with slot assembly 3, to realize the automatic storage of charging cable 4.The second stop mechanism 9 can control drive mechanism stop working when charging cable reaches predetermined length, to prevent overwinding.

[0025] In an embodiment, a control unit 7 is provided in the charging pile main body 1.The control unit 7 is electrically connected with the first stop mechanism 8, the second stop mechanism 9 and the drive mechanism 6, to form a control circuit, to coordinate the work of components.

[0026] Through the setting of winding reel 5 and drive mechanism 6, when it is necessary to recover charging cable 4, drive mechanism 6 can drive winding reel 5 rotation, to make winding reel 5 wind charging cable 4, to realize the recovery of charging cable 4, to ensure that charging cable 4 is properly stored, to reduce safety hazards.Through the setting of the first stop mechanism 8, when the user finishes charging and inserts charging gun 2 into slot assembly 3, the first stop mechanism 8 releases the disconnection of control circuit, the control unit 7 starts drive mechanism 6, to realize the automatic recovery of charging cable 4, to reduce user operation steps, to improve use convenience.Through the setting of the second stop mechanism 9, when charging cable 4 is wound to predetermined length, the second stop mechanism 9 disconnects the control circuit, to prevent overwinding, to ensure safety.

[0027] The second stop mechanism 9 comprises a magnetic element 91 arranged on the charging cable 4 and a magnetic induction element 92 arranged in the charging pile body 1, and the magnetic induction element 92 is electrically connected with the driving mechanism 6.

[0028] In an embodiment, when the charging cable 4 reaches the preset winding length, the magnetic element 91 approaches or contacts the magnetic induction element 92. After the magnetic induction element 92 detects the position of the magnetic element 91, it sends a signal to the control unit 7, and the control unit 7 controls the driving mechanism 6 to stop working, thereby stopping the rotation of the winding reel 5, avoiding damage to the charging cable 4 or mechanical failure of the winding reel 5 due to excessive winding, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0029] The charging pile body 1 is provided with a receiving and releasing opening 11 for the charging cable 4 to extend into the charging pile body 1, and the magnetic induction element 92 is arranged close to the receiving and releasing opening 11.

[0030] The receiving and releasing opening 11 provides a channel for the charging cable 4 to enter and exit the charging pile body 1, ensuring that the charging cable 4 can be smoothly wound or unwound. When the charging cable 4 is wound to a predetermined length, the magnetic element 91 on the charging cable will pass through the magnetic induction element 92 near the receiving and releasing opening 11, triggering a signal to the control unit 7, thereby stopping the work of the winding reel 5. Arranging the magnetic induction element 92 close to the receiving and releasing opening 11 can improve the control accuracy and reduce the situation that the second stop mechanism 9 stops the work of the winding reel 5 too early or too late.

[0031] The magnetic element 91 is externally sleeved with a protective sleeve.

[0032] By sleeving the magnetic element 91 with a protective sleeve (not shown in the figure), the mechanical damage or wear of the magnetic element 91 caused by collision with the receiving and releasing opening 11 during the winding and unwinding of the charging cable 4 is prevented, and the service life of the magnetic element 91 is prolonged.

[0033] The magnetic induction element 92 is a Hall element.

[0034] The Hall element can detect the change of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic element 91. When the magnetic element 91 passes near the Hall element, the Hall element will output a corresponding electrical signal to the control unit 7, thereby controlling the driving mechanism 6 to stop working, ensuring that the charging cable 4 will not be wound too much. The Hall element does not need to be in direct contact with the magnetic element 91 to complete the detection, reducing mechanical wear and improving system reliability.

[0035] The first stop mechanism 8 comprises a press switch 81 arranged on the socket assembly 3, and the charging gun 2 is provided with a pressing part 82 capable of pressing the press switch 81 when the charging gun 2 cooperates with the socket assembly 3, and the press switch 81 is electrically connected with the control unit 7.

[0036] The pressing switch 81 is installed on the socket assembly 3, when the charging gun 2 is inserted into the socket assembly 3, the top pressing part 82 will physically press the pressing switch 81. When the charging gun 2 is separated from the socket assembly 3, the top pressing part 82 is away from the pressing switch 81. When the pressing switch 81 is pressed or reset, it can send a corresponding electrical signal to the control unit 7, so that the control unit 7 can control the driving mechanism 6 to stop working when the charging gun 2 is separated from the socket assembly 3.

[0037] The driving mechanism 6 comprises a driving motor.

[0038] The driving motor drives the winding reel 5 to rotate, which has good durability and reliability.

[0039] The first pulley 12 and the second pulley 13 are rotatably arranged in the charging pile body 1, the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 13 are arranged side by side, and the charging cable 4 passes between the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 13 and is wound around the upper part of the first pulley 12.

[0040] Through the cooperation of the first pulley 12 and the second pulley 13, when the charging cable 4 enters and exits the charging pile body 1, the charging cable 4 can move along the predetermined path through the guidance of the pulley, which reduces the risk of wear and tear and prolongs the service life of the cable. By winding the charging cable 4 around the upper part of the first pulley 12, the charging cable 4 is guided while ensuring that the charging cable 4 will not be excessively bent or subjected to unnecessary tension.

[0041] In use, the user pulls the charging gun 3, and the pulley system assists in pulling out the charging cable 4. When the charging gun is not in use, the driving motor drives the winding reel 5 to wind the charging cable back into the charging pile, which not only saves space, but also effectively avoids the common problem of winding the charging cable in traditional charging piles, making the appearance of the charging pile more neat and convenient to maintain.
