Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of charging pile technology, and in particular relates to a charging pile with lightning protection. Background Technology

[0002] Lightning-protected charging piles are charging devices that provide energy replenishment for electric vehicles while also protecting them from lightning strikes. By installing devices such as lightning rods, surge arresters, and lightning protection grounding systems, they divert lightning current to the ground when struck by lightning, preventing damage to the charging pile equipment and ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0003] When new energy charging pile cabinets are installed outdoors, lightning rods are usually installed on the charging piles to prevent lightning strikes. The lightning rods are usually fixed to the cabinet with bolts or welded to the cabinet. Once fixed, the lightning rods are not easy to remove quickly, which affects the efficiency of maintenance or replacement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a charging pile with lightning protection. By setting up a quick-release mechanism, it solves the problem that in order to prevent lightning strikes, lightning rods are usually installed on new energy charging piles. Lightning rods are usually fixed to the cabinet with bolts or welded to the cabinet. Once fixed, the lightning rod is generally not easy to remove quickly, which affects the maintenance or replacement efficiency of the lightning rod.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a charging pile with lightning protection, including a protective cover, on which a quick-release mechanism and a buffer mechanism are provided;

[0007] The quick-release mechanism includes a cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover. A screw is rotatably connected to the protective cover, and the screws all penetrate the protective cover and the cylinder and are rotatably connected to both. A manual turntable is fitted onto the outer wall of the screw, and a limit plate is fixedly connected to the top of the screw. A sliding ring is threaded onto the outer wall of the screw. Several fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder. Connecting rods are hinged to the fixing blocks and the sliding rings. An extension plate is hinged to the end of each connecting rod away from the cylinder. A lightning rod is installed at the top of the protective cover, and the extension plates are adapted to the lightning rod. A grounding wire is inserted into the lightning rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism includes a charging pile disposed at the bottom of the protective cover. Two rectangular plates are fixedly connected to the top of the charging pile. Two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the side of the two rectangular plates that are close to each other. Two movable rectangular frames are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods. The inner walls of the two movable rectangular frames are hinged with connecting rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the protective cover is fixedly connected to two fixed rectangular frames, and the ends of the two connecting rods away from the movable rectangular frames are hinged to the two fixed rectangular frames. The ends of the two movable rectangular frames away from each other are fixedly connected to dampers, and the ends of the two dampers away from the movable rectangular frames are fixedly connected to two rectangular plates.

[0010] Furthermore, springs are wound around the outer walls of both dampers, one end of each spring is fixedly connected to two movable rectangular frames, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to two rectangular plates.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By setting up a quick-release mechanism, when it is necessary to replace the lightning rod during use, the operator can rotate the manual turntable on the outer wall of the screw. Using the principle of screw transmission, the screw drives the sliding ring to move downward along the screw axis. Since the sliding ring is connected to multiple connecting rods by a hinge, and the other end of the multiple connecting rods is hinged to the expansion plate, the multiple connecting rods will move together during the downward movement of the sliding ring, thereby driving the expansion plate to converge and retract inward, thus releasing the limiting constraint on the lightning rod and realizing a quick and convenient replacement operation. This design effectively simplifies the lightning rod replacement process and significantly improves work efficiency.

[0013] 2. By setting up a buffer mechanism, when the charging pile encounters severe weather, such as rain or hail, the protective cover will first absorb the external impact force and transmit it to the two fixed rectangular frames at the bottom. Since the two fixed rectangular frames are respectively hinged to the second connecting rod, and the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the movable rectangular frame, and the movable rectangular frame can slide along the outer wall of the sliding rod, the impact force can be transmitted through the linkage of the fixed rectangular frame and the second connecting rod at the moment the protective cover is impacted. This will push the two movable rectangular frames away from each other along the sliding rod and compress the damper on them. During this process, the damper can dissipate the impact force, and the spring on the outer wall of the damper provides a restoring force, so that the damper can quickly return to its initial state after being subjected to force, realizing the repeated buffering function. This buffer structure design can effectively absorb and disperse the external impact force, provide reliable protection for the charging pile, and ensure its stable operation in harsh environments.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a charging pile with lightning protection, including a protective cover 1, on which a quick-release mechanism 2 and a buffer mechanism 3 are provided;

[0025] The quick-release mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21 fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 1. A screw 22 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 1. The screw 22 passes through the protective cover 1 and the cylinder 21 and is rotatably connected to both the protective cover 1 and the cylinder 21. A manual turntable 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 22. A limit plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 22. A sliding ring 25 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 22. Several fixing blocks 26 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 21. A connecting rod 27 is hinged to the several fixing blocks 26 and the sliding ring 25. An extension plate 28 is hinged to the end of the several connecting rods 27 away from the cylinder 21. A lightning rod 29 is provided on the top of the protective cover 1. Several extension plates 28 are adapted to the lightning rod 29. A grounding wire 210 is inserted into the lightning rod 29.

[0026] By setting up a quick-release mechanism 2, when the lightning rod 29 needs to be replaced during use, the operator can rotate the manual turntable 23 on the outer wall of the screw 22. Utilizing the thread transmission principle, the screw 22 drives the sliding ring 25 to move downwards along the screw axis. Since the sliding ring 25 is connected to multiple connecting rods 27 by a hinge, and the other end of the multiple connecting rods 27 is hinged to the extension plate 28, the multiple connecting rods 27 will move in tandem during the downward movement of the sliding ring 25. This will cause the extension plate 28 to converge and retract inwards, thereby releasing the limiting constraint on the lightning rod 29 and achieving a quick and convenient replacement operation. This design effectively simplifies the replacement process of the lightning rod 29 and significantly improves work efficiency.

[0027] The buffer mechanism 3 includes a charging pile 31 located at the bottom of the protective cover 1. Two rectangular plates 32 are fixedly connected to the top of the charging pile 31. Two sliding rods 33 are fixedly connected to the side of the two rectangular plates 32 that are close to each other. Two movable rectangular frames 34 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods 33. The inner walls of the two movable rectangular frames 34 are hinged with connecting rods 35. Two fixed rectangular frames 36 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 1. The ends of the two connecting rods 35 that are away from the movable rectangular frames 34 are hinged to the two fixed rectangular frames 36. The ends of the two movable rectangular frames 34 that are away from each other are fixedly connected with dampers 37. The ends of the two dampers 37 that are away from the movable rectangular frames 34 are fixedly connected to the two rectangular plates 32. Springs 38 are wound around the outer walls of the two dampers 37. One end of the two springs 38 is fixedly connected to the two movable rectangular frames 34, and the other end of the two springs 38 is fixedly connected to the two rectangular plates 32.

[0028] By setting up a buffer mechanism 3, when the charging pile 31 encounters severe weather, such as rain or hail, the protective cover 1 will preferentially bear the external impact force and transmit the force to the two fixed rectangular frames 36 at the bottom. Since the two fixed rectangular frames 36 are respectively hinged to the second connecting rod 35, and the other end of the second connecting rod 35 is hinged to the movable rectangular frame 34, and the movable rectangular frame 34 can slide along the outer wall of the sliding rod 33, the impact force can be transmitted through the linkage of the fixed rectangular frame 36 and the second connecting rod 35 at the moment the protective cover 1 is impacted, thereby pushing the two movable rectangular frames 34 away from each other along the sliding rod 33 and compressing the damper 37 on them. In this process, the damper 37 can consume the impact force, and at the same time, the spring 38 on the outer wall of the damper 37 provides a restoring force, so that the damper 37 can quickly return to the initial state after being subjected to force, realizing the repeated buffering function. This buffer structure design can effectively absorb and disperse the external impact force, provide reliable protection for the charging pile 31, and ensure its stable operation in harsh environments.

[0029] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: During use, when the lightning rod 29 needs to be replaced, the operator can rotate the manual turntable 23 on the outer wall of the screw 22. Utilizing the thread transmission principle, the screw 22 drives the sliding ring 25 to move downwards along the screw axis. Since the sliding ring 25 is connected to multiple connecting rods 27 via hinges, and the other ends of the multiple connecting rods 27 are hinged to the extension plate 28, the multiple connecting rods 27 will move in tandem during the downward movement of the sliding ring 25. This will cause the extension plate 28 to contract inwards, thereby releasing the limiting constraint on the lightning rod 29 and achieving a quick and convenient replacement operation. This design effectively simplifies the lightning rod 29 replacement process and significantly improves work efficiency. When the charging pile 31 encounters severe weather, such as rain or hail, the protective cover 1 should be the first to withstand the external impact force and redirect it. The impact force is transmitted to the two fixed rectangular frames 36 at the bottom. Since the two fixed rectangular frames 36 are respectively hinged to the second connecting rod 35, and the other end of the second connecting rod 35 is hinged to the movable rectangular frame 34, and the movable rectangular frame 34 can slide along the outer wall of the sliding rod 33, the impact force can be transmitted through the linkage of the fixed rectangular frames 36 and the second connecting rod 35 at the moment the protective cover 1 is impacted. This will push the two movable rectangular frames 34 away from each other along the sliding rod 33 and compress the damper 37 on them. In this process, the damper 37 can consume the impact force. At the same time, the spring 38 on the outer wall of the damper 37 provides the restoring force, so that the damper 37 can quickly return to the initial state after being subjected to force, realizing the repeated buffering function. This buffer structure design can effectively absorb and disperse the external impact force, provide reliable protection for the charging pile 31, and ensure its stable operation in harsh environments.
