[0029] This application provides a vehicle charging device, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a vehicle charging device, including a charging platform 1 and a protective device 2. The protective device 2 can be disposed above the charging platform 1, and the protective device 2 can provide a protective space for the charging platform 1. The vehicle charging device can be a wired charging device or a wireless charging device. In this application, a wireless charging device will be used as an example for description.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The charging platform 1 is used to charge the vehicle. The charging platform 1 can be quadrilateral in shape. The charging platform 1 has a first side 11 and a second side 12, as well as a third side 13 and a fourth side 14. The vehicle can drive into or out of the charging platform 1 from the second side 12, the third side 13 and the fourth side 14.

[0032] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 2The protective device 2 may include a support component 21, a drive component 22 and a folding component 23. The drive component 22 and the folding component 23 may be disposed on the support component 21. The folding component 23 is connected to the drive component 22 and is disposed above the charging platform 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support assembly 21 is used to support the drive assembly 22 and the folding assembly 23. The support assembly 21 may include a support plate 211 and an adjusting plate 212. The support plate 211 is disposed on the top of the charging platform 1, preferably near the first side 11 of the charging platform 1, and is perpendicular to or approximately perpendicular to the charging platform 1. The adjusting plate 212 is disposed near the top of the support plate 211 and extends toward the second side 12 of the charging platform 1. The adjusting plate 212 is perpendicular to or approximately perpendicular to the support plate 211, that is, parallel to or approximately parallel to the charging platform 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 The drive assembly 22 may include a drive mechanism 221 and a transmission mechanism 222. The drive mechanism 221 is connected to the transmission mechanism 222. The drive mechanism 221 is, for example, a motor, and is used to drive the transmission mechanism 222. As an example, the drive mechanism 221 may be located near the top of the support plate 211, and the transmission mechanism 222 may be located on the adjustment plate 212.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The folding component 23 may include a foldable protective element 231, which may be made of a flexible material or formed of multiple plate-like materials, and has waterproof and sun-proof functions. The transmission mechanism 222 is connected to the protective element 231, and the drive mechanism 221 drives the protective element 231 to extend to an extended state or to retract to a stored state through the transmission mechanism 222. In the extended state, the projected area of ​​the protective element 231 on the support component 21 is larger than that in the stored state.

[0036] In this application, the drive mechanism 221 drives the protective component 231 to extend to the extended state or to retract to the stored state through the transmission mechanism 222. When the charging station 1 is charging the vehicle, the drive mechanism 221 drives the protective component 231 to extend to the extended state through the transmission mechanism 222. The protective component 231 can effectively block rainwater intrusion or resist direct sunlight, significantly reducing the safety risks caused by environmental factors and creating a stable and reliable charging environment for the vehicle charging process. When the charging station 1 is idle, the drive mechanism 221 drives the protective component 231 to retract to the stored state through the transmission mechanism 222. This can prevent the protective component 231 from being exposed to the external environment for a long time and cause wear and tear, extend the service life of the protective component 231, and ensure the reliability and durability of the protective device 2.

[0037] In one specific implementation, please refer to the following: Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 222 may include a rotating shaft 2221 and a sliding member 2222. The rotating shaft 2221 is connected to the drive mechanism 221, and the sliding member 2222 is connected to both the rotating shaft 2221 and the protective member 231. The sliding member 2222 may be connected to the end of the protective member 231 away from the first side 11 of the charging platform 1, and preferably connected to the middle position of the end of the protective member 231 away from the first side 11 of the charging platform 1. The drive mechanism 221 can drive the sliding member 2222 to move via the rotating shaft 2221, so that the sliding member 2222 drives the protective member 231 to extend or retract. When the protective member 231 needs to extend, the drive mechanism 221 drives the sliding member 2222 to move towards the second side 12 of the charging platform 1 via the rotating shaft 2221. When the protective member 231 needs to retract, the drive mechanism 221 drives the sliding member 2222 to move towards the first side 11 of the charging platform 1 via the rotating shaft 2221.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 2221 may be provided with an external thread 2223, and the sliding member 2222 may be provided with an internal thread 2224. The sliding member 2222 may be sleeved on the rotating shaft 2221. The rotating shaft 2221 and the sliding member 2222 are connected by the external thread 2223 and the internal thread 2224. The driving mechanism 221 drives the rotating shaft 2221 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding member 2222 to move.

[0039] Reference Figure 3The adjusting plate 212 may be provided with a groove 2121, and the sliding member 2222 may be provided in the groove 2121. The groove 2121 matches the sliding member 2222 to limit the movement trajectory of the sliding member 2222. The adjusting plate 212 not only supports the sliding member 2222 but also guides it, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the sliding member 2222, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the protective member 231. In this embodiment, the sliding member 2222 may be trapezoidal, and the groove 2121 may also be trapezoidal, with the shape of the sliding member 2222 matching the shape of the groove 2121.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 222 may further include a first connecting member 2225 and a first guide member 2226. The first connecting member 2225 is disposed between the sliding member 2222 and the protective member 231. The sliding member 2222 can be connected to the protective member 231 through the first connecting member 2225. The first guide member 2226 is disposed on the side of the adjusting plate 212 facing the protective member 231. The first guide member 2226 is disposed between the first connecting member 2225 and the sliding member 2222. The first connecting portion can be slidably connected to the first guide member 2226, and the sliding portion can also be slidably connected to the first guide member 2226. The first guide member 2226 has a guiding function, further ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the first connecting member 2225 and the sliding member 2222, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the protective member 231.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The folding assembly 23 may also include a storage section 232, which is located near the first side 11 of the charging platform 1 and can be positioned on top of the support assembly 21. One end of the protective member 231 is stored in the storage section 232, and the other end of the protective member 231 is connected to the transmission mechanism 222, i.e., the other end of the protective member 231 is connected to the first connecting member 2225. The driving mechanism 221 drives the protective member 231 to be stored in the storage section 232 through the transmission mechanism 222. The storage section 232 protects the protective member 231, preventing it from being exposed to the external environment for a long time and causing wear and tear, thus extending the service life of the protective member 231.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3The protective device 2 may further include a guide assembly 24, which is disposed on both sides of the protective member 231 in the telescopic direction. The guide assembly 24 may include a second guide member 241, a second connector 242, and a fixing member 243. The second guide member 241 can be connected to the storage part 232 through the fixing member 243. The second guide member 241 extends along the telescopic direction of the protective member 231 and may be cylindrical. The second connector 242 may be sleeved on the second guide member 241 and may be slidably disposed on the second guide member 241. The second connector 242 is also connected to the protective member 231, and preferably the second connector 242 is connected to the edge of the protective member 231 near the third side 13 or the fourth side 14 of the charging platform 1. When the drive mechanism 221 drives the protective member 231 to extend or retract through the transmission mechanism 222, the second connector 242 slides along the second guide member 241 to prevent the protective member 231 from shifting or twisting, and further ensures the stability and accuracy of the movement of the protective member 231.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two guide components 24, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the protective member 231 in the telescopic direction of the protective member 231, that is, the two guide components 24 are respectively disposed at both ends of the protective member 231 perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the protective member 231. The second guide members 241 of the two guide components 24 are respectively connected to both ends of the storage part 232 through the fixing members 243. Each second guide member 241 may be provided with one or more second connecting members 242. In this embodiment, each second guide member 241 is provided with one second connecting member 242, and the second connecting member 242 is connected to the end of the protective member 231 away from the storage part 232.

[0044] In one specific implementation, please refer to the following: Figure 4 The charging platform 1 may have a mounting groove 15 on its interior or lower surface. An electromagnetic coil 3 may be installed in the mounting groove 15. The electromagnetic coil 3 may be electrically connected to a power supply 5 via a wire 4, and the power supply 5 may supply power to the electromagnetic coil 3 via the wire 4. The power supply 5 may be fixed to the top of the charging platform 1, and the power supply 5 may be positioned close to the first side 11 of the charging platform 1, particularly close to the middle of the first side 11. The top of the charging platform 1 may have a charging area 7 corresponding to the electromagnetic coil 3. The charging area 7 is preferably positioned close to the middle of the charging platform 1. The charging area 7 is the vehicle charging area, and the vehicle needs to be parked in the charging area 7 when it needs to be charged.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4An inclined plate 6 may be provided at the edge of the charging platform 1. For example, there may be three inclined plates 6, which are respectively located near the second side 12, the third side 13, and the fourth side 14 of the charging platform 1. The inclined plates 6 facilitate the vehicle's entry into or exit from the charging platform 1 and prevent the vehicle from scraping against the charging platform 1. In some embodiments, the edge of the charging platform 1 may also be an inclined structure, and the second side 12, the third side 13, and the fourth side 14 of the charging platform 1 may be inclined structures, which also facilitates the vehicle's entry into or exit from the charging platform 1 and prevents the vehicle from scraping against the charging platform 1.

[0046] The middle position of the charging platform 1 can be slightly higher than the surrounding areas, that is, the middle of the charging platform 1 is higher than the surrounding areas. This facilitates the drainage of rainwater, prevents water from accumulating near the charging area 7, and prevents key components such as the electromagnetic coil 3 and the power supply 5 from getting damp and short-circuiting.

[0047] As an example, the working principle and usage process of the vehicle charging device in this application are as follows:

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When a vehicle is charging in charging area 7 during rainy or sunny weather, the drive mechanism 221 is activated. The drive mechanism 221 drives the rotating shaft 2221 to rotate and drives the sliding member 2222 to slide along the inner wall of the groove 2121 toward the charging area 7. Simultaneously, it pulls the first connecting member 2225 and the protective member 231 to move synchronously. During this process, the first connecting member 2225 slides smoothly along the surface of the first guide member 2226, and the second connecting member 242 moves smoothly along the surface of the second guide member 241. The protective member 231 will gradually extend and unfold from the storage part 232. After being fully unfolded, the fully unfolded protective member 231 can effectively isolate rainwater or sun exposure, build a stable protective barrier for the power supply 5 and the charging vehicle below, and ensure a safe and reliable charging environment.

[0049] When protection is not required, the drive mechanism 221 reverses its rotation, and the protective component 231 retracts and folds in an orderly manner into the storage section 232. The storage section 232 will preserve the protective component 231 stored inside, reduce external interference, and extend the service life of the protective component 231.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 When the vehicle is charging, the power source 5 transmits electrical energy to the electromagnetic coil 3 through the connecting wire 4. The electromagnetic coil 3 converts the electrical energy into high-frequency electromagnetic waves through the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the electromagnetic coil 3 is precisely aligned with the vehicle's built-in receiver located in the charging area 7, the receiver uses electromagnetic coupling technology to efficiently convert the captured electromagnetic waves into DC power, providing a stable and safe power supply for the vehicle's power battery.

[0051] The above provides a detailed description of a vehicle charging device provided by this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
