Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AC charging pile technology, and in particular to an easy-to-use AC charging pile with lighting function for nighttime use. Background Technology

[0002] AC charging stations, also known as slow charging stations, are charging devices that provide AC power to onboard chargers for electric vehicles. AC charging stations are equipped with nighttime lighting functions, such as LED lights, to help users quickly identify the charging station and start charging at night or in low-light environments.

[0003] According to the Chinese patent "A Simple Vertical AC Charging Pile" authorization announcement number "CN218141088U", when it is necessary to perform human-computer interaction operation on the charging pile, the dust cover can be flipped up. In the dark or in a dimly lit place, the corresponding button can be pressed to turn on the first light on the dust cover to illuminate the area below.

[0004] The aforementioned application requires flipping up the dust cover so that the first light illuminates the AC charging pile, which makes it difficult to quickly identify the AC charging pile at night, thus affecting the user's ability to use the AC charging pile at night.

[0005] Therefore, a nighttime-use AC charging station with lighting function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-use AC charging station with lighting function for nighttime use in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. This improves the problem that the dust cover needs to be flipped up so that the first light can illuminate the AC charging station, which makes it difficult to quickly identify the AC charging station at night.

[0007] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: a night-useful AC charging pile with lighting function, comprising: a mounting column; and a lighting mechanism, wherein the lighting mechanism includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting column, a lighting lamp fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame, a locking block fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed frame, a transparent plate clamped to the surface of the locking block, a silicone ring fixedly connected to the rear end of the transparent plate, and two pressure blocks provided inside the mounting column, with a first spring fixedly connected to the end of each pressure block. Through the fixed frame, locking block, and transparent plate, the surface of the lighting lamp is enclosed, allowing the lighting lamp to illuminate the AC charging pile at night, thus facilitating quick identification of the AC charging pile by users at night and ensuring the effectiveness of using the AC charging pile at night. The first spring and pressure blocks press down on the silicone ring, thereby sealing the connection between the fixed frame and the transparent plate, preventing dust and rainwater from adhering to the surface of the lighting lamp, ensuring the lifespan of the lighting lamp surface, and thus ensuring the lighting effect of the lighting lamp on the AC charging pile.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the transparent plate is slidably connected with several locking rods. A second spring is fixedly connected to the end of each locking rod, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent plate. The surface of the locking rod engages with the inner wall of the locking block. Through the second spring and the locking rods, the transparent plate is locked to the front end of the fixed frame, thereby sealing the front end of the fixed frame and preventing dust from entering the interior of the fixed frame.

[0009] Preferably, both sides of the transparent plate are embedded with blocking blocks, the ends of which contact the ends of the clamping rods. These blocking blocks seal both sides of the transparent plate, ensuring the clamping rods are stably engaged within the blocks.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting rope is fixedly connected to one side of the block, and the other end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to one side of the transparent plate. The connecting rope effectively restrains the block, preventing the risk of loss.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the card block is frustum-shaped.

[0012] Preferably, slide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame, and the inner wall of the pressure block is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rods. The slide rods limit the movement of the pressure block, preventing it from shifting during movement.

[0013] Preferably, a sliding rope is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure block, and a rubber block is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rope. The surface of the rubber block is embedded in the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By using a fixed frame, clips, and a transparent panel, the surface of the lighting fixture is enclosed, and the lighting fixture illuminates the AC charging pile at night. Compared to the existing method where the dust cover on the AC charging pile needs to be flipped up to allow the lighting fixture to illuminate the AC charging pile, this method allows the lighting fixture to automatically illuminate the AC charging pile at night, making it easier for users to quickly identify the AC charging pile at night and ensuring the effectiveness of using the AC charging pile at night.

[0016] 2. The first spring and the pressure block press the silicone ring, thereby sealing the connection between the fixed frame and the transparent plate. This prevents dust and rainwater from adhering to the surface of the lighting lamp, ensuring the lifespan of the lighting lamp surface and thus guaranteeing the lighting effect of the lighting lamp on the AC charging pile.

[0022] 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.

[0023] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1-4As shown, an easy-to-use AC charging station with lighting function for nighttime use includes: a mounting column 1; a lighting mechanism 2, the lighting mechanism 2 including a fixed frame 21 fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting column 1, a lighting lamp 22 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 21, a locking block 23 fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed frame 21, a transparent plate 24 locked to the surface of the locking block 23, a silicone ring 25 fixedly connected to the rear end of the transparent plate 24, two pressure blocks 28 provided inside the mounting column 1, a first spring 210 fixedly connected to the end of the pressure block 28, and the surface of the locking block 23 is frustum-shaped.

[0024] An AC charging station is provided at the front end of the mounting column 1. The wires at the rear end of the lighting lamp 22 pass through the fixing frame 21 and extend into the mounting column 1, so that the wires at the rear end of the lighting lamp 22 are connected to the power supply module in the mounting column 1. A brightness sensor is embedded at the front end of the mounting column 1. The lighting lamp 22 is an LED lamp component. LED lamps have the characteristics of high brightness, low power consumption, long life and easy control.

[0025] AC charging stations mainly consist of the charging station body, electrical module, and metering module. The charging station body typically uses a metal or plastic shell to protect the internal equipment and provides waterproofing and dustproofing. The front of the charging station body uses an anti-glare glass component, which undergoes a special process to reduce glare reflection from external light, improving screen visibility under different lighting conditions. Its relatively smooth surface also prevents dust accumulation, helping to keep the screen clean and ensuring clear visibility of the displayed content. The electrical module includes contactors, fuses, and leakage current protectors, used to control the circuit's continuity and protect the equipment. The metering module records the charging amount for billing purposes.

[0026] According to the installation process of the charging pile, the mounting column 1 is installed in the community parking lot or other locations, and the charging pile body is installed on the mounting column 1 and the corresponding wires are connected. The wires of the lighting 22 in the fixing frame 21 are connected to the power supply module of the mounting column 1, and the fixing frame 21 is installed on the mounting column 1 with bolts. When night falls, the brightness sensor on the mounting column 1 senses the dim light and automatically turns on the lighting 22. Users can then identify the AC charging pile from a distance and park their cars in a safe area near the AC charging pile. The charging plug on the AC charging pile is then plugged into the car's charging port. After scanning the QR code on the AC charging pile with their mobile phone, the AC charging pile directly transmits the AC power provided by the grid to the car's on-board charger. The on-board charger then converts the AC power into DC power to charge the electric vehicle's power battery. Unlike DC charging piles, AC charging piles do not have the function of power conversion and the charging power is relatively low.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, a number of locking rods 26 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the transparent plate 24. A second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rod 26. The other end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transparent plate 24. The surface of the locking rod 26 is engaged with the inner wall of the locking block 23. Blocks 213 are embedded in both sides of the transparent plate 24. The end of the block 213 contacts the end of the locking rod 26. A connecting rope 214 is fixedly connected to one side of the block 213. The other end of the connecting rope 214 is fixedly connected to one side of the transparent plate 24.

[0028] The transparent plate 24 is snapped into the locking block 23, so that the outer surface of the silicone ring 25 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed frame 21. The locking rod 26 is loosened, and the elastic force of the second spring 27 pushes the locking rod 26 upward and snaps into the locking block 23. At this time, the blocking block 213 is embedded and installed into the inner wall of the transparent plate 24, thereby locking the transparent plate 24 at the front end of the fixed frame 21. The elastic force of the first spring 210 pushes the pressure block 28 to move, so that the pressure block 28 always abuts against the inner surface of the silicone ring 25, thereby keeping the silicone ring 25 tightly attached to the fixed frame 21, thus protecting the lighting lamp 22.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, slide rods 29 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 21. The inner wall of the pressure block 28 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rods 29. A sliding rope 211 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure block 28. A rubber block 212 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rope 211. The surface of the rubber block 212 is embedded in the inner wall of the fixed frame 21.

[0030] Pull the rubber block 212 to move the sliding rope 211 and pull the two pressure blocks 28 closer to each other, thus releasing the pressure on the silicone ring 25.

[0031] In use, pulling the two rubber blocks 212 causes the sliding rope 211 to move and pull the two pressure blocks 28 closer together, locking the transparent plate 24 into the locking block 23. This causes the outer surface of the silicone ring 25 to abut against the inner wall of the fixed frame 21. Loosening the rubber blocks 212 causes the elastic force of the first spring 210 to push the pressure block 28 to move, keeping the pressure block 28 in contact with the inner surface of the silicone ring 25. This keeps the silicone ring 25 tightly attached to the fixed frame 21. Loosening the locking rod 26 causes the elastic force of the second spring 27 to push the locking rod 26 upward and lock it into the locking block 23. At this time, the blocking block 213 is embedded into the inner wall of the transparent plate 24, locking the transparent plate 24 at the front end of the fixed frame 21, thus protecting the lighting lamp 22. When night falls, the lighting lamp 22 automatically turns on to illuminate the AC charging pile.

[0032] It should be noted that the mounting column 1, lighting lamp 22, charging pile body, fixing frame 21 and transparent plate 24 mentioned above are all components with relatively mature existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the mounting column 1, lighting lamp 22 and charging pile body can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0033] 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.
