[0002] A charging station is a device that provides high-quality charging services to electric vehicle users.

[0003] In typical charging stations, users can activate the device by scanning a QR code. Upon activation, the cooling system kicks in. However, during rain, some rainwater can seep into the device through the ventilation holes. Traditionally, to prevent rainwater from entering, angled louvers are used at the ventilation openings to redirect the rainwater and prevent direct entry. However, when the rain stops, these angled louvers reduce the amount of outside air entering the charging station, hindering heat dissipation and affecting normal operation. Therefore, modifications and optimizations are needed. Utility Model Content

[0028] This utility model provides an outdoor charging pile with a rainproof structure, including a base 1 and a charging pile body 2, which is fixedly installed above the base 1. A window is provided on one side wall of the charging pile body 2. The rainproof structure includes a heat dissipation frame 8 installed on the side wall and louver blades 14 installed inside the heat dissipation frame 8. The louver blades 14 are located at the window position. An electric telescopic rod 9 is also fixedly installed on the side wall. The electric telescopic rod 9 is located on one side of the heat dissipation frame 8. A rack 11 is connected to the end of the electric telescopic rod 9. A gear 12 is rotatably installed on the side of the heat dissipation frame 8 near the rack 11, and the rack 11 and the gear 12 mesh with each other. A connecting shaft 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the gear 12. One end of the connecting shaft 13 extends to the inside of the heat dissipation frame 8 and is connected to the louver blades 14, so that the electric telescopic rod 9 can drive the louver blades 14 to rotate.

[0029] A rain sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the charging pile body 2, and a display and control integrated machine 18 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the charging pile body 2. The display and control integrated machine 18 is electrically connected to the rain sensor 3 and the electric telescopic pole 9.

[0030] The rain sensor 3 monitors rainfall and transmits the information to the display and control unit 18. The display and control unit 18 is designed to allow users to scan the QR code inside and control the device's operation. When the rain sensor 3 detects rain, it transmits the information to the display and control unit 18, which then activates the electric telescopic rod 9. This activation moves the rack 11, which, due to the meshing between the rack 11 and gear 12, drives the gear 12 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 12, in turn, drives the connecting shaft 13, which in turn rotates the louver blades 14. For example, the louver blades 14 can be tilted downwards, thus changing the direction of rainwater flow.

[0031] When the rain sensor 3 does not detect rain, it will transmit the information that no rain is falling to the display and control unit 18. The display and control unit 18 controls the rotation of the louver blades 14 by controlling the electric telescopic rod 9. For example, it controls the louver blades 14 to be set horizontally, so that the gap between the louver blades 14 reaches the maximum size and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the charging pile.

[0032] By activating the electric telescopic rod 9, the rack 11 is moved, which in turn causes the louver blades 14 to rotate. Compared to traditional devices, this device can change the size of the heat dissipation holes and the direction of rainwater flow by rotating the louver blades 14. The heat dissipation holes can be understood as the gaps between the louver blades 14, preventing rainwater from entering the device. Compared to traditional devices that use tilted louvers to block rainwater from entering the device, resulting in a smaller area of ​​heat dissipation holes, this device can not only effectively block rainwater from entering, but also increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation holes when the rain stops, increasing the air intake and exhaust volume, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency inside the device. At the same time, by changing the direction of rainwater flow, it also prevents rainwater from entering the device.

[0033] In some embodiments, a push block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 9, and the push block 10 is fixedly connected to the rack 11. When the display control unit 18 starts the electric telescopic rod 9, the electric telescopic rod 9 controls the push block 10 to move. When the push block 10 moves, it drives the rack 11 to move. When the rack 11 moves, since the rack 11 and the gear 12 mesh with each other, the rotation of the rack 11 drives the rotation of the gear 12. When the gear 12 rotates, it drives the rotation of the connecting shaft 13. When the connecting shaft 13 rotates, it drives the rotation of the louver blades 14.

[0034] In some embodiments, a protective shell 6 is also fixedly installed on the side wall of the charging pile body 2, and an electric telescopic rod 9 is disposed inside the protective shell 6. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 9 extends towards the bottom of the protective shell 6, and the bottom of the protective shell 6 is provided with a through hole for the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 9 to enter and exit. The protective shell 6 is used to protect the electric telescopic rod 9 and can prevent rainwater from affecting the normal operation of the electric telescopic rod 9.

[0035] In some embodiments, a housing 7 is also fixedly installed on the side wall of the charging pile body 2, and the gear 12 and rack 11 are located inside the housing 7. The housing 7 is used to protect the gear 12 and rack 11.

[0036] In some embodiments, a groove 19 is formed inside the charging pile body 2. A second motor 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the groove 19 and is electrically connected to the display and control all-in-one machine 18. A circular plate 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft of the second motor 20. A protrusion 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the circular plate 21. A sleeve 23 is movably fitted onto the outer surface of the protrusion 22. The outer side of the sleeve 23 is movably connected to the side of the groove 19. A connecting block 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the sleeve 23. One end of the connecting block 24 extends to the outer side of the charging pile body 2 and is movably connected to the charging pile body 2. A moving rod 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 24. A cleaning pad 26 is movably fitted onto the outer surface of the moving rod 25 and is in contact with the outer surface of the display and control all-in-one machine 18.

[0037] When needed, the second motor 20 is first started via the display control unit 18. When the second motor 20 starts, it drives the circular plate 21 to rotate. The rotation of the circular plate 21 drives the rotation of the protrusion 22. As the protrusion 22 rotates, the rotation of the sleeve 23 is restricted by the inner side of the groove 19. Therefore, the rotation of the protrusion 22 drives the sleeve 23 to move left and right. The left and right movement of the sleeve 23 drives the connecting block 24 to move left and right. The left and right movement of the connecting block 24 drives the moving rod 25 and the cleaning pad 26 to move left and right, thereby cleaning the surface of the display control unit 18. When the cleaning pad 26 becomes dirty, it can be removed from the moving rod 25 for cleaning or replacement.

[0038] By starting the second motor 20, the circular plate 21 is driven to rotate. As the circular plate 21 rotates, the protrusion 22 rotates, which in turn causes the cleaning pad 26 to move left and right. Compared with traditional devices, this device wipes water stains on the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18 by moving the cleaning pad 26 left and right. Compared with traditional devices that dry the water stains on the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18 by blowing hot air, this device, by moving the cleaning pad 26 back and forth, can avoid water stains generated by heating remaining on the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18, while also cleaning the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18, improving cleaning efficiency, and avoiding heating the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18, which would raise the temperature of the display control all-in-one machine 18 and affect its operation.

[0039] The charging pile body 2 has a first motor 15 fixedly installed at the bottom inside, and a fan blade 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft of the first motor 15. When the first motor 15 is started, it will drive the fan blade 16 to rotate, and as the fan blade 16 rotates, it will dissipate heat from the inside of the device.

[0040] A filter 17 is fixedly installed between the two sides inside the charging pile body 2, located on the outside of the fan blades 16. The filter 17 is positioned opposite the heat sink 8. When air is blown from inside the charging pile to the outside space, the fan blades 16 rotate to create airflow. The air passes through the gaps between the filter 17 and the louver blades 14 and is then exhausted from the charging pile, achieving a heat dissipation effect. The design of the filter 17 prevents a large amount of dust from entering the device and affecting the use of the internal components.

[0041] Connecting cables 4 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the charging pile body 2. A charging gun 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting cable 4, and one end of the charging gun 5 extends into the interior of the charging pile body 2 and is movably connected to the charging pile body 2. By inserting the charging gun 5 into the charging port of the new energy vehicle, it is convenient to charge the new energy vehicle.

[0042] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0043] When the rain sensor 3 detects rain, it transmits the rain information to the display and control unit 18. The display and control unit 18 then activates the electric telescopic rod 9. When the electric telescopic rod 9 is activated, it drives the push block 10 to move. When the push block 10 moves, it drives the rack 11 to move. When the rack 11 moves, since the rack 11 and the gear 12 mesh with each other, the rotation of the rack 11 drives the rotation of the gear 12. When the gear 12 rotates, it drives the rotation of the connecting shaft 13. When the connecting shaft 13 rotates, it drives the rotation of the louver blades 14, thereby changing the direction of rainwater flow through the louver blades 14.

[0044] Furthermore, the second motor 20 can be started by the display control all-in-one machine 18. When the second motor 20 is started, it will drive the circular plate 21 to rotate. When the circular plate 21 rotates, it will drive the protrusion 22 to rotate. When the protrusion 22 rotates, since the rotation of the sleeve 23 is restricted by the inside of the groove 19, the sleeve 23 will move left and right as the protrusion 22 rotates. When the sleeve 23 moves left and right, it will drive the connecting block 24 to move left and right. When the connecting block 24 moves left and right, it will drive the moving rod 25 and the cleaning pad 26 to move left and right, thereby cleaning the surface of the display control all-in-one machine 18.
