[0037] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an easy-to-maintain charging station includes a base 1;
[0039] The base 1 is provided with a charging component 11;
[0040] The base 1 is also provided with a protective cover 2 to protect the charging component 11;
[0041] The protective cover 2 includes a cover body 21 and a cover door 22 disposed on the cover body 21. The cover door 22 is rotatably connected to the cover body 21. The cover door 22 is provided with a monitor 3. The monitor 3 is mounted on the cover door 22 via a bracket 31. The cover door 22 is also provided with an image acquisition port 221. The monitor 3 acquires images through the image acquisition port 221. Furthermore, both the monitor 3 and the bracket 31 are located inside the cover body 21.
[0042] The bracket 31 is engaged with the door 22 along the first horizontal direction, and the monitor 3 is engaged with the bracket 31 along the second horizontal direction. The first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction.
[0043] The charging component 11 is a common electronic component in the prior art, used to realize the charging function. The monitor 3 is a common monitoring device in the prior art, used to monitor the parking space, or to identify the parking space or vehicle.
[0044] Monitor 3 is typically electrically connected to a host computer to transmit parking space information or related data. The host computer can be a computer used for parking space management or charging management.
[0045] The cover 22 can be rotatably connected to the cover body 21 via a hinge. The hinge includes a shaft and a first rotating arm and a second rotating arm rotatably connected to the shaft. The first rotating arm is fixed to the cover body 21 by screws, and the second rotating arm is fixed to the cover 22 by screws.
[0046] The door 22 can also be rotatably connected to the cover 21 via other components. A lock can be installed between the cover 21 and the door 22, and a sealing ring can also be installed between the door 22 and the cover 21.
[0047] The cover 21 can be fixed to the base 1 with screws, or the cover 21 can be installed on the base 1 in other ways, or the cover 21 can be placed directly on the base 1.
[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover 22 is provided with a mounting base 222 installed on the bracket 31, the mounting base 222 is welded to the cover 22, and the bracket 31 is snapped into the mounting base 222.
[0049] Typically, both the cover body 21 and the cover door 22 have a thin thickness. The mounting base 222 should not be fixed to the cover door 22 with screws. The mounting base 222 is welded to the cover door 22, so that the mounting base 222 and the cover door 22 have a high connection strength and the mounting base 222 is not easy to fall off.
[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting base 222 is provided with an upper slot 2221 and a lower slot 2222, the upper slot 2221 and the lower slot 2222 being disposed opposite to each other. The bracket 31 is provided with an upper hook 311 that mates with the upper slot 2221 and a lower hook 312 that mates with the lower slot 2222. A damping layer may be provided in the upper slot 2221 and the lower slot 2222. The damping layer may be a rubber layer. For example, the damping layer may be bonded to the upper slot 2221 and the lower slot 2222 to increase the friction between the upper hooks 311 and between the lower slots 2222 and the lower hooks 312, thereby preventing the bracket 31 from being misaligned relative to the mounting base 222.
[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 31 includes a vertical portion 313, and the upper hook 311 and the lower hook 312 are both installed on the vertical portion 313. The upper hook 311 and the lower hook 312 are both integral with the vertical portion 313.
[0052] The bracket 31 also includes a horizontal part 314 for mounting the monitor 3. The horizontal part 314 and the vertical part 313 are an integral structure, and one end of the horizontal part 314 abuts against the cover 22.
[0053] The horizontal part 314 is provided with a slot 315, the cross-sectional shape of the slot 315 is a trapezoid that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, and the monitor 3 is provided with a plug 316 that mates with the slot 315.
[0054] The end of the horizontal part 314 that contacts the door 22 is the front end, and the end opposite to the front end is the rear end. The slot 315 passes through the front end of the horizontal part 314 but does not pass through the rear end of the horizontal part 314.
[0055] In some embodiments, the insert 316 is fixed to the monitor 3 by screws, and the end of the slot 315 away from the door 22 is provided with a limiter that defines the position of the monitor 3 relative to the door 22.
[0056] The limiter can be a screw, or the limiter can be part of the horizontal part 314 body. That is, when the slot 315 does not penetrate the rear end of the horizontal part 314, the part of the rear end of the horizontal part 314 located in the slot 315 forms the limiter, which is used to limit the position of the monitor 3 relative to the horizontal part 314. After assembly, the limiter and the door 22 together limit the position of the monitor 3.
[0057] The limiter defines the position of the monitor 3 by means of the insert 316, and causes one end of the monitor 3 to abut against the door 22.
[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a support rib 317 is provided between the horizontal part 314 and the vertical part 313. The horizontal part 314, the vertical part 313, and the support rib 317 are an integral structure. The upper hook 311 and the lower hook 312 are both provided with a damping layer.
[0059] In some embodiments, the cover 22 is provided with a water-blocking cover 223, which is disposed above the image acquisition port 221 and welded to the cover 22. The water-blocking cover 223 is mainly used to shield rainwater and prevent rainwater from contaminating the image acquisition head of the monitor 3.
[0060] In some embodiments, during the assembly process, with the door 22 in the open state, the monitor 3 is first inserted into the horizontal part 314, that is, the insert block 316 is inserted into the slot 315, thus completing the assembly of the monitor 3 and the bracket 31.
[0061] Then, install the bracket 31 equipped with the monitor 3 onto the mounting base 222, that is, the upper hook 311 engages with the upper slot 2221, and the lower hook 312 engages with the lower slot 2222. Then push the bracket 31 to align the monitor 3 with the image capture port 221, thus completing the assembly of the monitor 3 and the bracket 31.
[0062] During normal use, although the monitor 3 is installed using a snap-fit method, the charging pile usually does not need to be moved. Therefore, this fixing solution can meet the fixing requirements of the monitor 3. Alternatively, a damping layer can be set up so that there is greater friction between the upper hook 311 and the upper slot 2221, the lower hook 312 and the lower slot 2222, and the insert 316 and the slot 315. During long-term use, the monitor 3 is less likely to become misaligned.
[0063] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.
[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.
[0065] When implementing the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter technical solution and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, these details are still within the scope of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model without departing from it.
