Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging pile technology, specifically a protective structure for home charging piles. Background Technology

[0002] A charging station is a facility that provides power to electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It is usually fixed to the ground or wall and connected to the electric vehicle via cables and plugs. It converts the alternating current or direct current from the power grid into electrical energy suitable for the electric vehicle's battery pack, thereby charging the electric vehicle.

[0003] Existing home charging stations are directly exposed to the external environment after installation, resulting in poor protection. In this case, the charging station may be damaged by accidental touches or impacts from external objects. This will not only cause economic losses to the owner of the charging station, but may also affect the normal charging of electric vehicles. Utility Model Content

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a protective structure for a home charging pile, including a mounting plate 100 and a charging pile body 101. The charging pile body 101 is mounted on the outer surface of the mounting plate 100. A base plate 102 is mounted on the outer surface of the mounting plate 100 below the charging pile body 101. A protective cover 103 is mounted on the outer surface of the mounting plate 100 above the charging pile body 101 via a lifting mechanism 200. The protective cover 103 and the base plate 102 can form a closed shell to protect the charging pile body 101. A first cable 104 is connected to the bottom of the charging pile body 101 via a winding mechanism 300, and a charging gun 105 is mounted at the end of the first cable 104.

[0027] When the vehicle needs to be charged, the protective cover 103 can be raised by the lifting mechanism 200 to expose the charging pile body 101. At this time, the charging gun 105 is pulled out from the charging pile body 101, and the first cable 104 is released and extended through the winding mechanism 300. Then the vehicle can be charged using the charging gun 105.

[0028] After charging is completed, the first cable 104 can be wound up by the winding mechanism 300 to reduce its space occupation and avoid a messy appearance. After the charging gun 105 is reinserted into the charging pile body 101, the protective cover 103 is lowered by the lifting mechanism 200, so that it closes with the base plate 102 to form a relatively closed cavity. At this time, the charging pile body 101, the first cable 104 and the charging gun 105 are all protected by the base plate 102 and the protective cover 103, which can prevent accidental touch by others or impact from foreign objects, as well as aging caused by sun and wind, thus improving service life.

[0029] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 200 includes two fixing blocks 201 respectively installed on both sides of the mounting plate 100. A threaded rod 202 is rotatably installed between the two fixing blocks 201 on the same side. A nut 203 is installed on the outer surface of the threaded rod 202, and a connecting block 204 is installed on the outer surface of the nut 203. The ends of the two connecting blocks 204 are respectively connected to the two sides of the protective cover 103. The mounting plate 100 is provided with a drive mechanism 400 that is in transmission cooperation with the two threaded rods 202.

[0030] When the drive mechanism 400 drives the two threaded rods 202 to rotate simultaneously, it can drive the two nuts 203 to move along the length of the threaded rods 202 at the same time, and through the connecting block 204, it can achieve the purpose of driving the protective cover 103 to rise and fall.

[0031] Preferably, the winding mechanism 300 includes a first conduit 301 installed at the bottom of the charging pile body 101, a winding reel 302 rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the first conduit 301, and the first cable 104 wound inside the winding reel 302. An electric slip ring is installed on the outer surface of the first conduit 301, the output end of the electric slip ring is connected to the first cable 104, and a second cable is connected to the bottom of the charging pile body 101. The second cable is disposed inside the first conduit 301 and connected to the input end of the electric slip ring.

[0032] The second cable supplies power to the first cable 104, and under the action of the slip ring, the first cable 104 is kept energized while maintaining its winding capability.

[0033] Preferably, the drive mechanism 400 includes a mounting groove 401 formed inside the mounting plate 100. A dual-axis motor 402 is installed inside the mounting groove 401. Both output shafts of the dual-axis motor 402 are connected to a drive shaft 403. The end of the drive shaft 403 extends to the outside of the mounting plate 100 and is equipped with a first bevel gear 404. The bottom of both threaded rods 202 is equipped with a second bevel gear 405, and the first bevel gear 404 and the second bevel gear 405 are meshed together.

[0034] When the dual-axis motor 402 is started, its two output shafts simultaneously drive the two transmission shafts 403 to rotate. The two transmission shafts 403 drive the two first bevel gears 404 to rotate. Since the first bevel gears 404 and the second bevel gears 405 mesh with each other, the purpose of simultaneously driving the two threaded rods 202 to rotate can be achieved.

[0035] Preferably, a second conduit 500 is installed on the upper surface of the charging pile body 101, a through hole 501 is opened on the top of the protective cover 103, the second conduit 500 is disposed in the through hole 501, and a third cable is connected to the top of the charging pile body 101, the third cable being disposed in the second conduit 500.

[0036] The third cable supplies power to the charging pile body 101. The second conduit 500 can protect the third cable and prevent the inner wall of the through hole 501 from abrading the surface of the third cable when the protective cover 103 is raised or lowered.

[0037] Preferably, the outer surface of the mounting plate 100 is provided with a T-shaped groove 600 along the lifting direction of the protective cover 103, and a T-shaped slider 601 is provided inside the T-shaped groove 600, which is connected to the protective cover 103.

[0038] By setting the T-shaped groove 600 and the T-shaped slider 601, the protective cover 103 can be raised and lowered more smoothly and stably, and the connection strength between the protective cover 103 and the mounting plate 100 can be improved, thereby enhancing its resistance to deformation and thus improving the protective effect.

[0039] Preferably, a handle 700 is mounted on the outer surface of the winding reel 302.

[0040] The handle 700 allows for easy manual rotation of the reel 302 to wind up the first cable 104, improving operational portability.

[0041] Preferably, mounting blocks are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 100.

[0042] The mounting plate 100 can be fixed to the wall using bolts for installation.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
