[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, charging stations, as charging equipment for electric vehicles, have also entered people's daily lives.
[0003] Currently, the side of charging piles facing users typically uses a flat glass panel for decoration and light transmission. However, flat glass panels have certain limitations in terms of display, such as glare and limited viewing angles. They are also relatively weak in impact resistance, and are prone to cracking or damage, especially when subjected to external impacts. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a charging pile. This charging pile improves impact resistance and enhances the user experience. The technical solution of the charging pile is described below.
[0005] This utility model embodiment provides a charging pile, including: irregular curved glass, bracket, light-emitting element and top cover;
[0006] The irregularly shaped curved glass is fixed to the bracket, and the bracket is fixed to the upper cover;
[0007] The top cover has a light-transmitting part, and the bracket has an opening corresponding to the position of the light-transmitting part. The side of the light-transmitting part facing the irregular curved glass forms a space with the irregular curved glass at the opening. The light-emitting element is disposed on the side of the light-transmitting part away from the irregular curved glass.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the irregular curved glass has at least two consecutive V-shaped curved surface structures.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the top cover includes a body and a light-transmitting portion, wherein the body and the light-transmitting portion are an integral structure.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the light-transmitting portion is made of a transparent material.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the irregularly shaped curved glass is connected and fixed to the bracket by adhesive bonding.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the distance between any position of the light-transmitting portion and the corresponding position of the irregularly shaped curved glass is equal.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the light-emitting element is an LED matrix light panel.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the top cover has a first annular groove on the side facing the irregular curved glass, and the bracket has an annular rib located within the first annular groove, thereby forming a drainage gap between the bracket and the top cover.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the charging station further includes a lower cover and a sealing ring;
[0016] The lower cover has a receiving cavity, and the upper cover seals the opening side of the receiving cavity;
[0017] The sealing ring is disposed between the upper cover and the lower cover.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the lower cover also has a second annular groove, the second annular groove including a first outer groove wall and a first inner groove wall; the upper cover has a third annular groove on the side opposite to the irregular curved glass, the third annular groove including a second outer groove wall and a second inner groove wall;
[0019] The second outer groove wall is located within the second annular groove, the first inner groove wall is located within the third annular groove, and the sealing ring is clamped between the first inner groove wall and the bottom of the third annular groove.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment include at least the following:
[0021] The charging pile provided in this embodiment of the utility model achieves both decoration and light transmission display using irregularly shaped curved glass by fixing the irregularly shaped curved glass to the upper cover with a bracket, and setting the light-emitting element on the side of the light-transmitting part of the upper cover away from the irregularly shaped curved glass. Since irregularly shaped curved glass has better visibility and impact resistance than flat glass, the charging pile provided in this embodiment of the utility model can improve impact resistance and enhance the user experience.
[0022] Meanwhile, due to the limitations of the irregular curved glass forming process, its bending external dimensional tolerance is relatively large. By forming a space between the side of the light-transmitting part facing the irregular curved glass and the opening of the irregular curved glass at the position of the light-transmitting part of the bracket, the light-transmitting area can be avoided. This can prevent the corresponding dimensional matching problems caused by the direct connection between the irregular curved glass and the bracket and the tolerance problem of the irregular curved glass.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] In related technologies, charging piles are used to connect to electric vehicles to charge them. The user-facing side of the charging pile is typically decorated with a flat glass panel for both decoration and light transmission. However, current light transmission displays mainly use LED strips, which have a small luminous area and are not easy for users to see. Furthermore, the poor visibility and impact resistance of flat glass panels detract from the user experience.
[0045] In order to solve the problems existing in the related technologies, this utility model provides a charging pile that can increase the display area while improving the impact resistance and improving the user experience.
[0046] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a charging pile provided for an embodiment of the present utility model includes a complete structural diagram and a disassembled structural diagram of the charging pile. Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of a charging pile provided for an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of the portion circled by the dashed line. See also... Figures 1-3 The charging station includes: irregularly shaped curved glass 1, bracket 2, light-emitting element 3, and top cover 4.
[0047] The irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is fixed on the bracket 2; see also Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging pile with a top cover and a bracket, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The bracket 2 is fixed on the top cover 4. That is to say, the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is fixed on the top cover 4 by the bracket 2, so that the irregularly shaped curved glass 1, the bracket 2 and the top cover 4 form a whole.
[0048] For example, the irregular curved glass 1, the bracket 2 and the top cover 4 can have the same shape to facilitate connection and fixation.
[0049] The top cover 4 has a light-transmitting part 41, and the bracket 2 has an opening 21 corresponding to the position of the light-transmitting part 41. The side of the light-transmitting part 41 facing the irregular curved glass 1 and the irregular curved glass 1 form a space 00 at the opening 21. Due to the limitations of the molding process of the irregular curved glass 1, its bending external dimensional tolerance is relatively large. By setting this space 00, it avoids the corresponding dimensional matching problems caused by the direct connection between the irregular curved glass 1 and the bracket 2 and the tolerance problem of the irregular curved glass 1.
[0050] The light-emitting element 3 is disposed on the side of the light-transmitting part 41 away from the irregular curved glass 1, so that when the light-emitting element 3 emits light, light can be emitted through the light-transmitting part 41, the opening 21 and the irregular curved glass 1 for the user to observe and obtain.
[0051] The charging pile provided in this embodiment of the utility model achieves both decoration and light transmission display using the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 by fixing the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 to the upper cover 4 using the bracket 2, and setting the light-emitting element 3 on the side of the light-transmitting part 41 of the upper cover 4 away from the irregularly shaped curved glass 1. Since the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 has better visibility and impact resistance than flat glass, the charging pile provided in this embodiment of the utility model can improve impact resistance and enhance the user experience.
[0052] In some embodiments, the charging station may be a wall-mounted charging station.
[0053] In this embodiment of the utility model, the irregular curved glass 1 is the structure of the charging pile that directly faces the user, and its main function is decoration and light transmission display.
[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 ,in Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an irregularly shaped curved glass in a charging pile, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. The irregularly shaped curved glass 1 has at least two continuous V-shaped curved surface structures 11. See also... Figure 4 Each V-shaped curved surface structure 11 has a bend 111, which is the low point of the irregular curved glass 1. From this bend 111, the bend extends upwards along both sides, with one side corresponding to the bottom edge of the irregular curved glass 1 and the other side corresponding to a side edge of the irregular curved glass 1. See also... Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment of the utility model, the middle part of the side of the irregular curved glass 1 is the highest point of the glass, which is higher than the middle position of the bottom edge of the irregular curved glass 1.
[0055] Furthermore, compared to spherical curved glass, this irregularly shaped curved glass can alter the stress distribution pattern, allowing external forces to be dispersed and transferred through the V-shaped bends, preventing stress concentration at a single point or area. This enhances the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the glass, strengthens structural stability, and makes it more adaptable to external loads. Simultaneously, the continuous V-shaped curved surface can adjust the light propagation path through multiple refractions and reflections, resulting in more uniform light distribution, reduced glare, and an expanded field of view or the creation of unique visual perspectives, thus improving the user experience.
[0056] In some embodiments, the irregular curved glass 1 and the bracket 2 are connected and fixed by adhesive bonding.
[0057] For example, the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 can be connected to the support 2 by adhesive. However, due to the presence of the opening 21 in the support 2, the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is not connected to the support 2 by adhesive only in areas outside the opening 21. For instance, adhesive is applied to the surface of the support 2, and the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is pressed onto the support 2, thus connecting the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 and the support 2 together by adhesive. Therefore, there are no gaps between the support 2 and the irregularly shaped curved glass 1, making it difficult for external water to enter between them.
[0058] In some embodiments, the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is made of tempered glass. Tempered glass has higher light transmittance, which helps users see the light emitted by the light-emitting element 3 more clearly.
[0059] In this embodiment of the utility model, the bracket 2 serves to support and fix the irregular curved glass 1. By setting the bracket 2, the irregular curved glass 1 can be connected to the top cover 4, and the light-transmitting part 41 of the irregular curved glass 1 and the top cover forms a space 00 at the opening 21 of the bracket 2, thereby achieving avoidance in the light-transmitting area and avoiding possible size matching problems.
[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element 3 is used for light emission display.
[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The light-emitting component 3 can be an LED matrix light board. The LED matrix light board consists of a circuit board, a driver chip and multiple LED beads arranged in a matrix on the circuit board, which are used to emit light; the driver chip is used to control the lighting, extinguishing and brightness adjustment of the LED beads; the circuit board provides electrical connection and physical support for the LED beads and the driver chip to ensure stable signal transmission.
[0062] In this embodiment of the utility model, the upper cover 4 is used to support the bracket 2 and the irregular curved glass 1.
[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 ,in Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the upper cover of a charging pile according to an embodiment of the present invention. The upper cover 4 includes a body 40 and a light-transmitting part 41, which are integrally formed. That is, the body 40 and the light-transmitting part 41 are integrally injection molded.
[0064] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 41 is made of a transparent material. In the actual manufacturing process, an integral top cover structure is formed by insert injection molding of the transparent material. Since the transparent material can transmit light, the light-transmitting portion 41 allows light to pass through.
[0065] In some embodiments, the distance between any position of the light-transmitting portion 41 and the corresponding position of the irregularly shaped curved glass 1 is equal; in other words, the light-transmitting portion 41 and the corresponding irregularly shaped curved glass 1 have the same shape. This makes the charging pile more aesthetically pleasing overall.
[0066] It is important to note that due to the presence of space 00, under the influence of temperature difference, water vapor in the air will form water droplets on the inner surface of the irregular curved glass 1, which will cause water fog and affect the light transmission display.
[0067] To solve this problem of light transmission display, see [link / reference]. Figure 3The top cover 4 has a first annular groove 42 on the side facing the irregularly shaped curved glass 1, and the bracket 2 has an annular rib 22 located within the first annular groove 42, creating a drainage gap between the bracket 2 and the top cover 4. Since the annular rib 22 and the first annular groove 42 are not tightly connected, a gap exists between them, which can be considered a drainage gap. When moisture is present in the irregularly shaped curved glass 1, the moisture can be discharged along the drainage gap.
[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The charging pile provided in this embodiment of the utility model also includes a lower cover 5 and a sealing ring 6. The lower cover 5 has a receiving cavity 51, and the upper cover 4 covers the opening side of the receiving cavity 51. The receiving cavity is used to accommodate electrical devices, such as display modules. The sealing ring 6 is disposed between the upper cover 4 and the lower cover 5 to seal the lower cover 5 using the upper cover 4 and the sealing ring 6.
[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The lower cover 5 also has a second annular groove 52, which includes a first outer groove wall 521 and a first inner groove wall 522; the upper cover 4 has a third annular groove 43 on the side away from the irregular curved glass 1, which includes a second outer groove wall 431 and a second inner groove wall 432; wherein, the second outer groove wall 431 is located in the second annular groove 52, the first inner groove wall 522 is located in the third annular groove 43, and the sealing ring 6 is sandwiched between the bottom of the first inner groove wall 522 and the third annular groove 43.
[0070] When water droplets are discharged from the drainage gap, they can enter the second annular groove 52. Under the action of gravity, the water in the second annular groove 52 will flow downwards along the groove and out of the charging pile. Since the sealing ring 6 is sandwiched between the first inner groove wall 522 and the bottom of the third annular groove 43, the third annular groove 43 and the sealing ring 6 can work together to block the water, thereby preventing water from flowing into the receiving cavity 51 and damaging the charged components.
[0071] Therefore, the charging pile provided in this embodiment of the present invention can also solve the problem of condensation on the inner surface of the irregular curved glass 1 or water vapor in the space, and can effectively ensure the light transmission display of the corresponding area of the light-emitting element 3.
