Therefore, sensor-based lighting technology that integrates environmental perception and equipment status linkage has become an important research direction in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a charging pile with an inductive lighting system includes a charging pile cabinet 1, a control module, a limit switch 2, a light control switch 3, an infrared sensor 4, and a light strip 5. The control module is located inside the charging pile cabinet 1. The limit switch 2, the light control switch 3, the infrared sensor 4, and the light strip 5 are all electrically connected to the control module and are arranged in series. The limit switch 2 is located at the top inside the charging pile cabinet 1 and is corresponding to the cabinet door 11. The light control switch 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the cabinet door 11. The infrared sensor 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the charging pile cabinet 1. The light strip 5 is fixedly installed at the top inside the charging pile cabinet 1.

[0026] This invention provides a charging pile with an inductive lighting system, which enables the light and infrared sensing modules (i.e., light-controlled switch 3 and infrared sensor 4) to operate only when the charging pile cabinet is opened. This avoids unnecessary power consumption during non-operational periods, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs. Compared with traditional continuous lighting solutions, it reduces standby power consumption and significantly improves energy efficiency. Furthermore, it allows for layered sensing logic: power is activated first when the cabinet door is opened, followed by light sensing, and finally infrared sensing, reducing the probability of false triggering and ensuring the effectiveness of the trigger signal.

[0027] Specifically, when the cabinet door is opened, the limit switch 2 is reset and electrically connected to the control module. At this time, the control module outputs DC power, which powers the inside of the charging pile cabinet 1. Then, the light control switch 3 determines whether to turn on based on the brightness of the outdoor environment. Then, the infrared sensor 4 detects whether there are operators. If the outdoor environment is dark and there are operators, that is, when the light control switch 3 and the infrared sensor 4 sense the signal at the same time, the light strip is lit.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution, a mounting plate 12 is fixedly installed inside the charging pile cabinet 1, and the control module is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 12. In a preferred embodiment, a mounting plate is provided inside the charging pile cabinet 1, and the control main board 61, the first relay 62, the second relay 63, and the third relay 64 are all fixedly installed on the mounting plate 45 for easy fixing and maintenance.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, the control module includes a control motherboard 61 and a first relay 62, a second relay 63 and a third relay 64 electrically connected to the control motherboard 61. The first relay 62 is electrically connected to the light control switch 3, the infrared sensor 4 is electrically connected to the second relay 63, and the light strip 5 is electrically connected to the third relay 64. The first relay 62, the second relay 63 and the third relay 64 are connected in series.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, the control circuit of the charging pile is as follows:

[0031] The light control switch 3 and the infrared sensor 4 are connected in parallel to a single-phase AC power supply. The neutral and live wires of the output terminals are electrically connected to the coils of the first relay 62 and the second relay 63, respectively. The live wire of the lamp strip 5 is connected in parallel with the live wires of the light control switch 3 and the infrared sensor 4. The neutral wire is connected to the power supply neutral wire of the lamp strip through the normally open contact of the third relay 64. The DC power output of the control main board 61 is sequentially and series-connected to the normally open contacts of the first relay 62, the normally open contacts of the second relay 63, and the coils of the third relay 64.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, the infrared sensor 4 is configured as an active infrared sensor. In a preferred embodiment, using an active infrared sensor to detect operators has the advantages of high detection accuracy of target objects, strong environmental adaptability, and fast response speed.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the limit switch 2 is configured as an access control limit switch. In a preferred embodiment, the limit switch 2 is an access control limit switch, which can detect the position status of the cabinet door. When the door is opened, the access control limit switch resets, and after the control module collects the signal, the charging pile cabinet is powered on.

[0034] Based on the above technical solution, the light strip 5 is magnetically fixed at the top inside the charging pile cabinet 1. Furthermore, the light strip 5 is configured as an LED light. In a preferred embodiment, the use of an LED light strip and magnetic fixation provides good lighting performance and facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the limit switch 2 is fixedly installed inside the charging pile cabinet 1 at the top and on one side of the light strip 5 by fasteners. Preferably, the fasteners are bolts.

[0036] During operation: When the cabinet door 11 of the charging pile cabinet 1 is opened, the access control limit switch resets and is electrically connected to the control main board 61 inside the charging pile cabinet 1. The control main board 61 outputs 12V DC power. The light control switch 3 and the active infrared sensor are connected in parallel to 220V single-phase AC power. The neutral and live wires of the light control switch 3 are electrically connected to the coil of the first relay 62KA1 701, and the neutral and live wires of the active infrared sensor are electrically connected to the coil of the second relay 63KA2 702. The 12V DC power output from the control main board 61 is connected to the normally open contact of the first relay 62KA1 701, then connected in series to the normally open contact of the second relay 63KA2 702, and then connected to the power supply coil of the third relay 64KA3 703. The live wire of the magnetic LED light strip is connected in parallel with the live wires of the light control switch 3 and the active infrared sensor, and the neutral wire is connected to the power supply neutral wire of the magnetic LED light strip through the normally open contact of the third relay 64KA3 703. The magnetic LED light strip will only light up when the cabinet door 11 of the charging pile cabinet 1 is opened and when both the light control switch 3 and the active infrared sensor detect the signal. If only one of them detects the signal, the light strip will not light up, which improves the accuracy of the sensing and saves energy.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims within this utility model.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
