Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a charging dock mounting bracket and a charging dock including the charging dock mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, charging docks for new energy vehicles typically include a housing, a mounting bracket, terminals, and an electronic lock. The terminals are housed within the housing, and the housing and electronic lock are fixed to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a mating cavity that allows the charging gun to be inserted. The terminals extend into the mating cavity for mating with the mating terminals of the inserted charging gun. The electronic lock has a retractable locking lever, and a locking lever hole is formed on the mounting bracket to allow the locking lever to pass through. When the charging gun is mated with the charging dock, the locking lever extends and engages with a pin hole on the charging gun to lock the charging gun to the charging dock, preventing accidental detachment of the charging gun from the charging dock.

[0003] In existing technology, to facilitate the extension and retraction of the locking bar relative to the mounting bracket, a clearance fit is typically used between the locking bar and the locking bar hole on the mounting bracket. Rainwater or washing water can easily enter and accumulate in the locking bar hole of the mounting bracket. In cold regions, such as Northern Europe, this accumulated water can quickly freeze, freezing the locking bar and the mounting bracket together, preventing the locking bar from extending or retracting, which can cause the electronic lock to malfunction.
