[0045] As mentioned earlier, with the booming development of the electric vehicle industry, the demand for charging piles is increasing. Existing charging piles are mainly divided into fixed and mobile types. Fixed charging piles are usually installed in specific locations, such as parking lots and highway service areas. While they can provide stable charging services for electric vehicles, after charging, the charging piles occupy a large space, and the management of charging cables is not flexible enough, easily leading to problems such as cable tangling and damage, affecting the lifespan and safety of the charging piles. While mobile charging piles offer some flexibility, in practical applications, the storage and management of their charging cables also present many inconveniences. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of automatic charging pile parking space device that can improve the convenience of managing the charging cables of mobile charging piles. To this end, this application proposes an automatic charging pile parking space device that can be used to dock mobile charging piles and improve the convenience of managing the charging cables of the charging guns.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the automatic charging pile parking space device 1 in this embodiment is a device specifically designed for electric vehicle charging. It is mainly used to solve the problems of parking of charging piles, management of charging cables 40, and convenient use of charging guns during the charging process of electric vehicles. It includes: a support frame 10, a cable winding and unwinding mechanism 20, a charging gun hanging arm 30, and a charging gun.

[0047] The support frame 10 is the basic support structure of the entire device, used to support and accommodate other components. It can be fixed to the ground or track by welding, bolting, or other methods. In some embodiments, the automatic charging pile parking space device 1 of this embodiment can be applied to a parking lot including an elevated rail system. The support frame 10 can be located at the end of the branch track of the elevated rail system. In this embodiment, the end of each branch track corresponds to each parking space in the parking lot.

[0048] The support frame 10 includes a first accommodating space 50 and a second accommodating space 51, which are separated by a vertically arranged partition. The first accommodating space 50 is provided with a charging pile docking part 14 for docking with the mobile charging pile 3. In some embodiments, the charging pile docking part 14 includes a first interface (not shown in the figure) connected to the charging busbar and a second interface (not shown in the figure) connected to the charging gun. When... Figures 1 to 3When the mobile robot 2, as shown, carries the mobile charging pile 3 to the corresponding track position of the charging pile docking part 14, it can insert the mobile charging pile 3 into the charging pile docking part 14 by lifting the mobile charging pile 3. The mobile charging pile 3 is connected to the charging busbar through the first interface and to the charging gun through the second interface. The second accommodating space 51 includes an upper accommodating space 511 and a lower accommodating space 512, which are separated by a partition 15. The partition 15 has a through hole 141 for the charging gun to pass through.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support frame 10 includes a top support plate 11, a surrounding support plate 12, and a bottom support plate 13, which together form the first accommodating space 50 and the second accommodating space 51. In some embodiments, the bottom support plate 13 is provided with a docking hole 131, through which the mobile charging pile 3 is inserted into the charging pile docking part 14.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom of the support base plate 13 is provided with two fixing members 132 parallel to the track. The two fixing members 132 are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the track, so that the track is secured between the two fixing members 132. The fixing members 132 can be connected to the support base plate 13 by bolts, clips, etc., and the support frame 10 is fixed by being secured to the track. This embodiment ensures the stable installation of the support frame 10 on the track, prevents displacement or shaking of the equipment during use, and improves the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0051] The cable winding mechanism 20 is installed in the upper accommodating space 511 to automatically wind up and wind up the charging cable 40, ensuring orderly management of the cable and preventing tangling.

[0052] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cable winding and unwinding mechanism 20 includes: a winding / unwinding motor 21, a driving wheel 22, and a driven wheel 23 sleeved on the driving wheel 22. The driving wheel 22, driven by the winding / unwinding motor 21, drives the driven wheel 23 to rotate. The driven wheel 23 is wound with a charging cable 40, and is used to wind and unwind the charging cable 40 during rotation. This embodiment achieves automatic winding and unwinding of the charging cable 40, improving the efficiency and convenience of cable management.

[0053] In some implementations, such as Figure 6As shown, the cable winding mechanism 20 also includes a pressure plate 24 sleeved on the driven wheel 23, used to guide the charging cable 40 of the charging gun to be evenly wound on the driven wheel 23. The pressure plate 24 can be fixed to the driven wheel 23 by bolts, clips, or other means to ensure that the charging cable 40 is evenly distributed during winding, preventing cable overlap and uneven winding, and extending the cable's service life.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cable retraction mechanism 20 further includes a conveying assembly 25 passing through the through hole 141. The conveying assembly 25 is adjacent to the pressure plate 24 and is angled towards the pressure plate 24. The conveying assembly 25 provides a sliding channel for the charging cable 40 of the charging gun and changes the transport direction of the charging cable 40. In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 25 can be fixed to the partition barrier and support base plate 13 near the through hole 141 by bolts, clips, or other means. This embodiment provides a smooth sliding channel for the charging cable 40, facilitating cable retraction and management, and reducing friction and wear of the cable during movement.

[0055] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the conveying assembly 25 is provided with multiple rollers 251. The rollers 251 can be installed on the conveying assembly 25 by means of shafts, bearings, etc. The multiple rollers 251 form the sliding channel, which is used to change the transport direction when transporting the charging cable 40 of the charging gun, and reduce the friction between the charging cable 40 and the conveying assembly 25, thereby improving the service life of the cable and the transport efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 25 has two overlapping inlet rollers 251 at one end near the pressure plate 24. The charging cable 40 passes through the sliding channel formed between the two inlet rollers 251 to reduce friction between the charging cable 40 and the conveying assembly 25, thereby improving the cable's service life and conveying efficiency. The conveying assembly 25 also has an outlet roller 251 at the end away from the pressure plate 24, used to change the transport direction when transporting the charging cable 40 of the charging gun.

[0057] In some embodiments, a clamping plate 26 is further provided above the driven wheel 23 for fixing the driven wheel 23 and the wire clamping plate 24. The clamping plate 26 can be fixed to the support frame 10 by bolts, clips, or other means. This embodiment ensures a stable connection between the driven wheel 23 and the wire clamping plate 24, preventing loosening during the winding of the charging cable 40 and improving the reliability of the device.

[0058] In this embodiment, the charging gun hanging arm 30 is installed in the lower accommodating space 512 to suspend and support the charging gun, making it convenient to retrieve and return the charging gun.

[0059] The charging gun in this embodiment is used to provide charging services for electric vehicles. One end is a charging cable 40, and the other end is a gun head 41. The charging cable 40 is wound around a cable winding mechanism 20, and the gun head 41 is inserted into one end of a hanging arm. One end of the charging gun hanging arm 30 is used to insert the charging gun head 41, and the other end is equipped with a rotating shaft 31, which can drive the charging gun head 41 to rotate around the rotating shaft 31 to achieve storage and retrieval of the charging gun. In some embodiments, the charging gun hanging arm 30 is connected to a control unit. When a charging trigger command is received from the control unit, the charging gun hanging arm 30 drives the gun head 41 to rotate to a state perpendicular to the ground. In some embodiments, the end of the charging gun hanging arm 30 used to insert the gun head 41 is equipped with a sensor unit to detect whether the gun head 41 has been inserted and returned to its original position. When it is detected that the gun head 41 has been inserted and returned to its original position after being retrieved, the charging gun hanging arm 30 drives the gun head 41 to rotate from a state perpendicular to the ground back to a state parallel to the ground.

[0060] The automatic charging pile parking space device 1 proposed in this application has the following advantages: First, the layered layout of the support frame 10 places the cable winding and unwinding mechanism 20 and the charging gun hanging arm 30 in different accommodating spaces, making full use of space and reducing the overall area occupied by the device. Second, the cable winding and unwinding mechanism 20 can automatically complete the winding and unwinding operation of the charging cable 40, reducing manual intervention and improving charging efficiency. Third, the rotating design of the charging gun hanging arm 30 increases the flexibility of storing and retrieving the charging gun. Fourth, through reasonable cable management and a stable support structure, safety hazards caused by cable problems can be reduced, ensuring the safety and reliability of the charging process.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them.
