Detailed Implementation
[0054] Because the waterproof height of charging piles is limited, they are easily damaged by immersion in deep water.
[0055] In view of this, this solution provides a lifting charging pile, including a charging body 100 and a lifting mechanism 200.
[0056] The following combination Figures 1-5 The structure and shape of the lift-type charging pile provided in this embodiment are described in detail below:
[0057] The lifting mechanism 200 includes an upper support frame 210, a lower support frame 220, and a drive unit 230. The upper support frame 210 is located above the lower support frame 220 and connected to the charging body 100. One end of the drive unit 230 is connected to the upper support frame 210, and the other end is connected to the lower support frame 220. When the water level reaches the upper threshold height, the drive unit 230 increases the distance between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220, thereby increasing the height of the charging body 100 above the ground. When the water level reaches the lower threshold height, the drive unit 230 drives the charging body 100 to reset via the upper support frame 210.
[0058] In this solution, when the water level reaches the upper threshold height, the drive unit 230 increases the distance between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220, which allows the upper support frame 210 to increase the height of the charging body 100 above the ground, thereby avoiding the problem of the charging pile being damaged by water accumulation.
[0059] In addition, managers can determine whether to raise the charging body 100 based on the environment of the charging pile and the expected weather data. When it is determined that the charging body 100 needs to be raised in advance, the drive unit 230 increases the distance between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220, so that the upper support frame 210 can increase the ground clearance of the charging body 100.
[0060] More details regarding the shape and structure of the lifting mechanism 200:
[0061] The lifting mechanism 200 also includes a sensing element 240 connected to the drive unit 230; when the water level reaches the upper threshold height, the upper sensing end of the sensing element 240 is triggered, thereby causing the drive unit 230 to extend; when the water level reaches the lower threshold height, the lower sensing end of the sensing element 240 is triggered, thereby causing the drive unit 230 to retract and reset.
[0062] Regarding the shape and structure of the drive unit 230, specifically:
[0063] The drive unit 230 includes a support rod 231 connected to the lower support frame 220 and a telescopic push rod 232 connected to the upper support frame 210; the telescopic end of the telescopic push rod 232 is connected to the support rod 231; the telescopic push rod 232 drives the support rod 231 to move so that the upper support frame 210 moves in the vertical direction.
[0064] Regarding how to increase the minimum height of the charging unit 100 from the ground:
[0065] At least one overhead support 221 is provided on the lower support frame 220; when the charging body 100 is reset, the top of the overhead support 221 abuts against the bottom of the charging body 100, so that the overhead support 221 replaces the drive unit 230 to bear the weight of the charging body 100.
[0066] Regarding the impact on the charging unit 100 caused by the upper support frame 210 moving during its movement:
[0067] At least one lifting frame 211 is provided at the bottom of the upper support frame 210, and the lifting frame 211 is fitted onto the outer surface of the charging body 100.
[0068] Regarding how to prevent damage to the sensing element 240 from causing the lifting mechanism 200 to malfunction:
[0069] The sensing elements 240 connected to the two drive units 230 are simultaneously turned on or off.
[0070] In this embodiment, the lower support frame 220, in cooperation with the overhead support 221, lifts the charging body 100, maintaining a set height between the charging body 100 and the installation position. Water accumulation at the installation position within this set height will not affect the charging pile. When the water level reaches the upper threshold height, the upper sensing end of the sensing element 240 is triggered. Consequently, the telescopic push rod 232, in cooperation with the support rod 231, increases the distance between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220. Simultaneously, the upper support frame 210, through the lifting frame 211, moves the charging body 100 upward. During this process, the lifting frame 211 lifts and moves the charging body 100, preventing damage caused by changes in the force direction on the charging body 100. The upward movement of the charging body 100 further increases the distance between it and the installation position, preventing water accumulation from entering the charging body 100 and causing damage. When the water level reaches the lower threshold height, the lower sensing end of the sensing element 240 is triggered, and then the telescopic push rod 232, with the cooperation of the support rod 231, drives the distance between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220 to decrease. At the same time, the upper support frame 210 drives the charging body 100 to reset by supporting the frame 211.
[0071] To prevent rainwater from seeping into the charging body 100 due to heavy rain, this solution also includes a rainproof mechanism 300.
[0072] Specifically, regarding the shape and structure of the rainproof mechanism 300;
[0073] The rainproof mechanism 300 includes a folding rainproof cover 310 and a follower unit 320 located on the upper support frame 210. When the charging body 100 rises, the follower unit 320 drives the folding rainproof cover 310 to unfold so that the folding rainproof cover 310 covers the charging body 100. When the charging body 100 falls back to its original position, the follower unit 320 drives the folding rainproof cover 310 to fold.
[0074] In order to realize the unfolding and retraction of the folding rain cover 310 according to the lifting control of the charging body 100, the shape and structure of the follower unit 320 are specifically as follows:
[0075] The follower unit 320 includes an extension rod 321 connected to the upper support frame 210, a drive telescopic cylinder 322 mounted on the lower support frame 220, a follower telescopic cylinder 323, and a series pipe 324 located between the drive telescopic cylinder 322 and the follower telescopic cylinder 323, connecting the two. One end of the follower telescopic cylinder 323 is mounted on the lower support frame 220, and the other end is connected to the folding rain cover 310. The telescopic end of the drive telescopic cylinder 322 is connected to the extension rod 321. When the upper support frame 210 drives the drive telescopic cylinder 322 to extend and the charging body 100 to rise, the transmission medium in the follower telescopic cylinder 323 enters the drive telescopic cylinder 322 through the series pipe 324, causing the telescopic end of the follower telescopic cylinder 323 to retract, thereby causing the follower telescopic cylinder 323 to drive the folding rain cover 310 to unfold. When the upper support frame 210 drives the drive telescopic cylinder 322 to retract and the charging body 100 to descend and reset, the transmission medium in the drive telescopic cylinder 322 enters the follower telescopic cylinder 323 through the series pipe 324, so that the telescopic end of the follower telescopic cylinder 323 extends, and then the follower telescopic cylinder 323 drives the folding rain cover 310 to fold.
[0076] In this embodiment, when the upper support frame 210 drives the extension cylinder 322 to extend and the charging body 100 to rise, the transmission medium in the follower cylinder 323 enters the drive cylinder 322 through the series pipe 324, causing the extension end of the follower cylinder 323 to retract. This, in turn, causes the follower cylinder 323 to unfold the folding rain cover 310, which completely covers the charging body 100, thus separating external rainwater from the charging body 100. When the upper support frame 210 drives the extension cylinder 322 to retract and the charging body 100 to descend and reset, the transmission medium in the drive cylinder 322 enters the follower cylinder 323 through the series pipe 324, causing the extension end of the follower cylinder 323 to extend. This, in turn, causes the follower cylinder 323 to fold the folding rain cover 310. The retracted folding rain cover 310 exposes part of the structure of the charging body 100 to the outside, allowing the exposed structure of the charging body 100 to perform charging operations.
[0077] To prevent the charging pile and the electric vehicle connection components from obstructing the folding rain cover 310 from covering the charging body 100, this solution also includes a connector unit 400. The connector unit 400 includes a female plug 410, a male socket 420, and a charging plug 430. The female plug 410 is located at the output end of the charging body 100. One end of the male socket 420 is inserted into the female plug 410, and the other end is connected to the input end of the charging plug 430. When the charging body 100 rises, it moves the female plug 410 upwards, causing the male socket 420 to separate from the female plug 410. When the charging body 100 descends and resets, it moves the female plug 410 downwards, causing the male socket 420 to engage with the female plug 410.
[0078] To prevent rainwater from seeping in after the female plug 410 and male socket 420 are disconnected, a separation sealing unit is provided between the female plug 410 and the male socket 420.
[0079] Regarding the shape and structure of the separation sealing unit, the preferred options are:
[0080] The separation sealing unit includes a first sealing plate, a second sealing plate, and a return spring;
[0081] The first sealing plate is connected to the end of the female plug 410 that is inserted into the male socket 420, and the first sealing plate has multiple first sealing holes. The second sealing plate is slidably inserted into the inside of the male socket 420, and one side of the second sealing plate has multiple second sealing holes. One end of the return spring is connected to the second sealing plate, and the other end is connected to the male socket 420. When the male socket 420 is connected to the female plug 410, the female plug 410 drives the second sealing plate to move along the male socket 420 through the first sealing plate. During this process, the pins of the male socket 420 are inserted into the female plug 410 through the first sealing holes and the second sealing holes. When the male socket 420 is disconnected from the female plug 410, the first sealing plate closes multiple first sealing holes by restoring its own elastic deformation. At the same time, the return spring drives the second sealing plate to seal the end of the male socket 420 inserted into the female plug 410 by restoring its own elastic deformation. The second sealing plate also closes multiple second sealing holes by restoring its own elastic deformation to prevent rainwater from seeping in after the female plug 410 and the male socket 420 are disconnected.
[0082] In this embodiment, when the charging body 100 rises, the charging body 100 drives the female plug 410 to move upward, and the male socket 420 is connected to the fixed part of the drive telescopic cylinder 322, so that the male socket 420 is separated from the female plug 410, thereby folding the rain cover 310 to obtain space to cover the charging body 100.
[0083] When the charging body 100 descends and resets, the charging body 100 drives the female plug 410 to move downward, thereby allowing the male socket 420 to connect with the female plug 410, so that the charging body 100 can continue to perform charging operations through the connector unit 400.
[0084] To ensure the stability of the charging unit during lifting and lowering:
[0085] The lifting mechanism 200 includes two drive units 230; the rainproof mechanism 300 includes two follower units 320; the two drive units 230 are evenly distributed around the vertical axis of the charging body 100; the two follower units 320 are evenly distributed around the vertical axis of the charging body 100.
[0086] In this embodiment, two drive units 230 and two follower units 320 are provided between the upper support frame 210 and the lower support frame 220, thereby providing multi-point support during the lifting and lowering process of the upper support frame 210, and through reasonable layout, the force on the upper support frame 210 driving the charging body 100 to be lifted and lowered is balanced.
[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
