[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging piles, and more specifically, to a rainproof and energy storage charging pile for new energy vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing global focus on environmental protection and sustainable development, the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) has entered a fast track, becoming an important direction for replacing traditional fuel vehicles. Leveraging their low emissions and environmentally friendly advantages, NEVs are gradually replacing traditional fuel vehicles, driving the transformation of the global transportation energy structure. However, the widespread adoption of NEVs has also brought new challenges, one of which is the construction of charging infrastructure.
[0003] To meet the ever-increasing charging demands of new energy vehicles, the construction of charging stations has become a core issue for current and future development. The widespread adoption of charging stations is particularly important in public places, urban roads, and highways. At the same time, the design and construction of charging stations must not only consider factors such as charging speed and intelligent management, but also address many environmental challenges, especially the impact of rain, humid weather, and extreme climates on charging facilities.
[0004] In outdoor environments, the charging slots for plugs are often exposed during charging, making them prone to dust and water accumulation. When the plug is inserted, it can become contaminated, leading to equipment malfunction, shortened lifespan, and even electrical safety hazards. Furthermore, the lack of protective devices after insertion makes the plug susceptible to water ingress and corrosion during rainy weather. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a rainproof and energy-storage charging pile for new energy vehicles, including a charging pile body 1 and a solar photovoltaic panel 2 located on top of the charging pile body 1. The solar photovoltaic panel 2 can store energy on sunny days, and the stored electrical energy can be used for charging pile lighting and other projects. This solution also includes a plug storage device and a plug protection device installed on the charging pile body 1. When the charging pile is not in use, the plug 3 is inserted into the plug storage device for storage, providing a safe and clean storage space for the plug 3. The plug protection device covers the outside of the plug 3, providing rain protection on rainy days and also offering some degree of dust protection.
[0023] The charging pile body 1 is provided with a cavity 4 for installing the plug storage device. The storage cavity 4 is provided with a clearance groove 5 that communicates with the outside. The plug storage device includes a storage body 6 with a plug interface 7 and a drive mechanism for driving the storage body 6 to rotate. The drive mechanism drives the storage body 6 to rotate until the plug interface 7 is completely overlapped or completely misaligned with the clearance groove 5. When storing, the plug 3 passes through the clearance groove 5 and is inserted into the plug interface 7.
[0024] In the above scheme, a photoelectric sensing structure 13 is provided on the charging pile body 1 and located on one side of the clearance groove 5. After the plug 3 is pulled out, the photoelectric sensing structure 13 senses that the plug 3 has been pulled out, and the drive mechanism is activated, thereby driving the storage body 6 to rotate until the plug interface 7 is completely misaligned with the clearance groove 5. At this time, the plug interface 7 is in the cavity 4 and is protected by the closed cavity 4. Compared with being exposed, the plug interface 7 is cleaner, and rainwater will not accumulate in rainy weather, providing a clean storage environment for the plug 3. Correspondingly, when the plug 3 is inserted, the photoelectric sensing structure 13 senses that the plug 3 is inserted, and the drive motor 10 is activated, driving the storage body 6 to rotate until the plug interface 7 is completely aligned with the clearance groove 5.
[0025] The storage body 6 is cylindrical, and the cavity 4 has an arc-shaped surface that fits into the cylindrical storage body 6. The cylindrical shape of the storage body 6 ensures a good fit with the inner wall of the cavity 4, preventing rainwater, dust, and other contaminants from entering the cavity 4.
[0026] A positioning plate 8 is provided inside the cavity 4. Several guide blocks 9 are arranged circumferentially on the top of the storage body 6. An annular limiting groove (not shown in the figure) is correspondingly provided on the positioning plate 8. The guide blocks 9 are inserted into the annular limiting groove and are slidably connected with the annular limiting groove. When the storage body 6 rotates, the cooperation between the guide blocks 9 and the annular limiting groove ensures the stability of the rotation of the storage body 6.
[0027] The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 10, a drive wheel 11 connected to the output end of the drive motor 10, and a driven wheel 12 meshing with the drive wheel 11. The diameter of the driven wheel 12 is smaller than the diameter of the drive wheel 11. The rotation of the drive motor 10 drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 12 meshing with it to rotate. Because the diameter of the driven wheel 12 is smaller than the diameter of the drive wheel 11, the switching of the connector 7 is made faster.
[0028] The plug protection device includes a protective cover 14 rotatably connected to the charging pile body 1. The bottom of the protective cover 14 is provided with a magnetic notch 15, and a corresponding magnet block 16 is provided on the charging pile body 1. In use, the protective cover 14 is rotated upward, and then the plug 3 is pulled out. After releasing the protective cover 14, the protective cover 14 naturally falls to fit against the surface of the charging pile body 1. At the same time, the magnet block 16 and the magnetic notch 15 are attracted to each other, preventing the protective cover 14 from being blown by air in strong winds, thus ensuring the protective effect in rainy weather.
[0029] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
