[0056] Furthermore, a protection switch 425 electrically connected to the motherboard 422 is installed within the installation space 421, and the protection switch 425 is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 42 on the side away from the control panel 41. By setting up the protection switch 425, the operation of the circuit can be better protected. For example, when a component is short-circuited, the current can be actively disconnected to protect other components, and the protection will automatically disconnect when the current is too high, thus playing a protective role.

[0057] Furthermore, an antenna 427 electrically connected to the motherboard 422 is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet 42 to facilitate network connectivity and other operations such as online billing within the cabinet 42.

[0058] In one embodiment, the control panel 41, on the side away from the cabinet 42, is equipped with an indicator light 412 and an emergency stop button 413 electrically connected to the motherboard 422, and the indicator light 412, emergency stop button 413, and card reader 411 are arranged vertically in sequence. The indicator light 412 is used to conveniently indicate the status of the charging station 100 to the user, such as charging in progress, charging stopped, or in a faulty state, while the emergency stop button 413 can be used to quickly stop charging for settlement of charging fees.

[0059] It should be noted that the electrical connection and interaction between the signal light 412, the emergency stop button 413, the card reader 411, and the motherboard 422 all use existing technologies.

[0060] In one embodiment, the gunstock bracket 22 includes a horizontal bar 221 and a vertical bar 222. One end of the horizontal bar 221 is connected to the outer wall of the pile body 2, and the other end of the horizontal bar 221 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical bar 222. A snap-fit ​​position is formed between the vertical bar 222 and the pile body 2, and the charging gun module 3 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​position.

[0061] The bracket includes a horizontal bar 221 and a vertical bar 222. The wire can be wound around the horizontal bar 221, and the vertical bar 222 forms a snap-fit ​​position with the pile body 2, which can snap the charging gun module 3 into the snap-fit ​​position, making it convenient to put away the charging gun module 3 and store the wire. Specifically, the charging gun 31 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​position.

[0062] In one embodiment, the charging pile 2 and the base 1 are integrally formed. This makes the structure between the charging pile 2 and the base 1 more stable and compact, and further reduces the assembly steps of the charging pile 100.

[0063] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
