[0032] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 The present invention provides an embodiment of a side door switch structure for a charging pile, comprising a charging pile body 1, a front door 2 rotatably connected to the front end of the charging pile body 1, a side door body 3 rotatably connected to the right side of the charging pile body 1, a plurality of cooling fans 14 fixedly connected to the left side of the side door body 3, and a dustproof plate 15 installed inside the side door body 3.
[0034] Specifically, the charging pile body 1 is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles and other equipment, and is the main structure of the entire device. The front door 2 is rotatably connected to the front end of the charging pile body 1 and can be closed during normal use to protect the internal components. The side door body 3 is rotatably connected to the right side of the charging pile body 1. A cooling fan 14 is installed on the side door body 3 to dissipate heat from the interior. A dustproof plate 15 is installed inside the side door body 3 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the charging pile body 1 through airflow.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-3The charging pile body 1 is equipped with a linkage component, which includes a fixed frame 4 and two fixed blocks 5. The fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the charging pile body 1. The two fixed blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the left side of the side door body 3. The two fixed blocks 5 are located at the upper and lower ends of the fixed frame 4, respectively. A push rod 6 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 4. Two connecting rods 7 are rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the push rod 6. The other end of each of the two connecting rods 7 is rotatably connected to a sliding frame 8. A pin 9 is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two sliding frames 8. The two pins 9 are respectively engaged inside the two fixed blocks 5. A fixed rod 11 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 4. The push rod 6 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the fixed rod 11. A spring 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed rod 11. A moving block 13 is fixedly connected to the front end of the push rod 6. Two sliding rods 10 are fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 4. The two sliding frames 8 are slidably connected to the outer periphery of the two sliding rods 10, respectively. The front end of the fixed rod 11 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the push rod 6, and the rear end of the fixed rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed frame 4.
[0036] Specifically, the fixing bracket 4 is fixed inside the right side of the charging pile body 1 to support the linkage component. The fixing block 5 is fixed on the left side of the side door body 3 and cooperates with the latch 9 to lock and unlock the side door body 3. The push rod 6 slides inside the fixing bracket 4 and drives other components to move through external force. The connecting rod 7 connects the push rod 6 and the sliding bracket 8, converting the linear motion of the push rod 6 into the linear motion of the sliding bracket 8. The sliding bracket 8 slides on the sliding rod 10, driving the latch 9 to move. When the latch 9 is engaged inside the fixing block 5... The side door body 3 cannot be opened. When it is detached from the fixing block 5, the side door body 3 can be opened. The fixing rod 11 provides a sliding track and support for the push rod 6. The spring 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixing rod 11. When the front door 2 is closed and the moving block 13 is squeezed, the spring 12 is compressed. When the front door 2 is opened, the spring 12 releases pressure and the push rod 6 is reset. The moving block 13 is fixed to the front end of the push rod 6. When squeezed by the front door 2, it drives the push rod 6 to move. The slide rod 10 is fixed inside the fixing frame 4 and provides sliding guidance for the sliding frame 8.
[0037] Reference Figures 4-6 The side door body 3 is equipped with an installation component, which includes two locking blocks 18. Both locking blocks 18 are slidably connected inside the side door body 3. The rear ends of both locking blocks 18 are fixedly connected to pull rods 19. Springs 20 are sleeved on the outer periphery of both pull rods 19. The rear end of the dustproof plate 15 has two slots 16, and the two locking blocks 18 are respectively locked into the two slots 16. The side door body 3 has two limiting slots 17, and the two pull rods 19 are slidably connected into the two limiting slots 17. The rear ends of both pull rods 19 are fixedly connected to limiting blocks 21. The rear ends of the two limiting blocks 21 are fixedly connected to handles 22. The front ends of the two springs 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two locking blocks 18, and the rear ends of the two springs 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the two limiting slots 17.
[0038] Specifically, the locking block 18 slides inside the side door body 3 and cooperates with the locking groove 16 at the rear end of the dustproof plate 15 to realize the installation and fixation of the dustproof plate 15. The pull rod 19 connects the locking block 18 and the handle 22. By pulling the handle 22, the locking block 18 can be moved. The second spring 20 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pull rod 19. When the handle 22 is pulled to make the locking block 18 disengage from the locking groove 16, the second spring 20 is stretched. When the handle 22 is released, the second spring 20 releases the tension and makes the locking block 18 re-engage into the locking groove 16. The limiting groove 17 is opened inside the side door body 3 to provide sliding guidance for the pull rod 19 and limit the range of motion of the pull rod 19. The limiting block 21 is fixed to the rear end of the pull rod 19 to prevent the pull rod 19 from coming out of the limiting groove 17. The handle 22 makes it convenient for the user to pull the pull rod 19 and operate the movement of the locking block 18.
[0039] Working principle: When the front door 2 is closed, it squeezes the moving block 13, causing the moving block 13 to fit against the front end of the fixed frame 4. This drives the push rod 6 to move on the fixed rod 11, which in turn drives the sliding frame 8 to move on the sliding rod 10 via the connecting rod 7. This causes the latch 9 to engage inside the fixed block 5, preventing the side door body 3 from opening when the front door 2 is closed. When the front door 2 is opened, the spring 12 releases its pressure, causing the push rod 6 to reset. This, in turn, drives the sliding frame 8 via the connecting rod 7, causing the latch 9 to disengage from the fixed block 5, thus opening the side door body 3 and improving safety.
[0040] When the dust cover 15 needs to be cleaned or replaced, the handle 22 can be pulled, which will move the locking block 18 through the pull rod 19, causing the locking block 18 to leave the slot 16 of the dust cover 15, thus freeing the dust cover 15 from restraint. The dust cover 15 can then be removed for cleaning or replacement. When installing the dust cover 15, first pull the handle 22, which will pull the locking block 18 into the limiting groove 17 through the pull rod 19. Then reset the dust cover 15. At this time, release the handle 22, which will release the tension of the spring 20, allowing the locking block 18 to be re-locked into the slot 16, thus completing the installation and improving the efficiency of cleaning or replacing the dust cover 15.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
