Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging pile technology, and in particular to a protective device and charging equipment for a charging pile. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of new energy vehicles, the number and deployment range of charging piles, as an important energy supply facility, are constantly expanding.
[0003] Since charging stations are generally located outdoors, they are easily affected by weather conditions such as rain, snow, and scorching sun, which can easily damage them. There is now a protective device for charging stations that adds a large cover on top of the charging station to cover it from above, thereby reducing the impact of weather conditions such as rain, snow, and scorching sun on the charging station.
[0004] However, in windy weather, this type of protective device can easily be blown off and damaged. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a protective device and charging equipment for charging piles, which aims to reduce the risk of damage to the protective device of charging piles in windy weather.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a protective device for charging piles, the protective device comprising:
[0007] Flexible shielding components;
[0008] A winding mechanism, located at the top of the charging pile, drives one end of the flexible shield to be connected to the winding mechanism, thereby causing the flexible shield to be at least partially wound around the winding mechanism; and
[0009] A telescopic mechanism is provided at the top of the charging pile and drives the other end of the flexible shield to unfold in a direction away from the winding mechanism, so that the flexible shield forms a shielding space that shields at least one side of the charging pile.
[0010] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism includes a folding arm assembly, the folding arm assembly comprising:
[0011] The first arm has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is rotatably disposed on one side of the winding mechanism, and the second end extends in a direction away from the winding mechanism.
[0012] The second arm has a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other. The third end is rotatably connected to the second end, and the fourth end is connected to the flexible shielding member. Rotation of the first and second arms causes the fourth end to move closer to or further away from the first end.
[0013] An elastic element, elastically connecting the first arm and the second arm, has a tendency to drive the fourth end away from the first end.
[0014] In one embodiment, the elastic element is a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the second end, and the other end of which is connected to the third end.
[0015] In one embodiment, two folding arm assemblies are symmetrically arranged, and the two folding arm assemblies can be folded toward each other.
[0016] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism further includes a support member that fits against the flexible shield and extends along the width direction of the flexible shield, and both ends of the support member are rotatably connected to a fourth end of one of the folding arm assemblies.
[0017] In one embodiment, the winding mechanism includes:
[0018] A bracket assembly is fixed to the top of the charging pile;
[0019] A roller shaft is rotatably mounted on the support assembly, and the flexible shielding member is at least partially wrapped around the roller shaft;
[0020] A drive assembly drives the roller shaft to rotate.
[0021] In one embodiment, the driving component includes:
[0022] The motor, located on the bracket assembly, has a rotatable output shaft;
[0023] A drive gear, disposed on the output shaft and rotating synchronously with the output shaft; and
[0024] A driven gear is disposed on the roller shaft and rotates synchronously with the roller shaft, and the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear.
[0025] In one embodiment, each end of the roller is provided with a drive assembly, and the motors of the two drive assemblies rotate synchronously.
[0026] In one embodiment, the protective device further includes a protective cover having an open protective space, the winding device being disposed inside the protective space, one end of the flexible shielding member being wound around the winding device, and the other end of the flexible shielding member extending through the opening to the outside of the protective space.
[0027] This utility model also proposes a charging device, comprising:
[0028] Charging piles; and
[0029] The aforementioned protective device for the charging pile is located on the top of the charging pile.
[0030] The protective device in this invention includes a flexible shield, a winding mechanism, and a telescopic mechanism. The flexible shield has a certain degree of flexibility and can be wound and unfolded. The winding mechanism is used to wind up the flexible shield, and the telescopic mechanism is used to unfold it. When the flexible shield is unfolded, a shielding space is formed below it, providing shelter from rain, snow, and sun, reducing the risk of damage to the charging pile and extending its service life. When the shield is not needed, the flexible shield can be retracted through the winding mechanism, which does not occupy extra space, reduces wind resistance, and is less prone to damage in windy weather, thus extending the service life of the protective device itself. In addition, users can manually or automatically control the winding and telescopic mechanisms to unfold and retract the flexible shield, eliminating the need for manual unfolding or retraction, making operation more convenient and faster.

[0047] This utility model proposes a protective device for charging piles.
[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the charging device provided by this utility model. Figure 2 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the charging device provided by this utility model. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the protective device for a charging pile provided by this utility model.
[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the protective device of the charging pile 10 includes:
[0050] Flexible shielding component 100;
[0051] A winding mechanism 200, located at the top of the charging pile 10, drives one end of the flexible shield 100 to at least partially wind the flexible shield 100 around the winding mechanism 200; and
[0052] The telescopic mechanism 300 is located on the top of the charging pile 10 and drives the other end of the flexible shield 100 to unfold the flexible shield 100 in a direction away from the winding mechanism 200, so that the flexible shield 100 forms a shielding space that shields at least one side of the charging pile 10.
[0053] The protective device in this utility model includes a flexible shield 100, a winding mechanism 200, and a telescopic mechanism 300. The flexible shield 100 has a certain degree of flexibility and can be wound and unfolded. The winding mechanism 200 is used to wind the flexible shield 100, and the telescopic mechanism 300 is used to unfold the flexible shield 100. When the flexible shield 100 is unfolded, a shielding space is formed below it, which serves to protect against rain, snow, and sun, reducing the risk of damage to the charging pile 10 and extending its service life. When the shielding is not needed, the flexible shield 100 can be retracted by the winding mechanism 200, which does not occupy extra space, reduces wind resistance, and is less likely to be damaged in windy weather, thus extending the service life of the protective device itself. In addition, users can manually or automatically control the winding mechanism 200 and the telescopic mechanism 300 to unfold and retract the flexible shield 100, eliminating the need for manual unfolding or retraction, making operation more convenient and faster.
[0054] The flexible shield 100 can be made of flexible materials, such as canvas, waterproof cloth, soft plastic, rubber, etc. The shielding space formed by the flexible shield 100 after it is unfolded can be located at least one of the front, rear, left, and right sides of the charging pile 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the flexible shield 100 is used to shield the front of the charging pile 10.
[0055] The telescopic mechanism 300 can be implemented in various forms, such as an electric push rod or a lead screw and nut mechanism. The telescopic mechanism 300 can be positioned below or above the flexible shielding member 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 300 is located below the flexible shielding member 100, so that the flexible shielding member 100 also protects the telescopic mechanism 300, extending its service life. The winding mechanism 200 can either have the motor 221 directly drive the rollers to wind up the flexible shielding member 100, or it can use a coil spring to drive the rollers to wind up the flexible shielding member 100.
[0056] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 300 includes a folding arm assembly 310, the folding arm assembly 310 comprising:
[0057] The first arm 311 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is rotatably disposed on one side of the winding mechanism 200, and the second end extends in a direction away from the winding mechanism 200.
[0058] The second arm 312 has a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other. The third end is rotatably connected to the second end, and the fourth end is connected to the flexible shielding member 100. The fourth end can move closer to or further away from the first end by rotating the first arm 311 and the second arm 312.
[0059] The elastic element 313 elastically connects the first arm 311 and the second arm 312, and has a tendency to drive the fourth end away from the first end.
[0060] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic mechanism 300 includes a folding arm assembly 310, which includes a first arm 311, a second arm 312, and an elastic member 313. The first end of the first arm 311 is rotatably disposed on one side of the winding mechanism 200. The second end of the first arm 311 is rotatably connected to the third end of the second arm 312. The fourth end of the second arm 312 is connected to a flexible shielding member 100, allowing the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 to be folded or extended. When the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 are folded, the fourth end of the second arm 312 approaches the first end of the first arm 311, causing the end of the flexible shield 100 away from the winding mechanism 200 to retract, allowing the flexible shield 100 to be wound up by the winding mechanism 200. When the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 are extended, the fourth end of the second arm 312 moves away from the first end of the first arm 311, causing the flexible shield 100 to move away from the winding mechanism 200, thus enabling the flexible shield 100 to unfold. The telescopic mechanism 300 is telescopically extended by folding the two arms, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to arrange. Furthermore, when the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 are folded together, the space occupied by the telescopic mechanism 300 is greatly reduced, improving the structural compactness of the protective device. This further reduces the wind resistance of the protective device in windy weather, lowering the risk of wind damage. The elastic element 313 has a tendency to drive the fourth end away from the first end. That is, in the natural state of the elastic element 313, the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 are extended, so that the telescopic mechanism 300 can unfold the flexible shield 100 without manual control. As long as the winding mechanism 200 releases the flexible shield 100, the flexible shield 100 can unfold under the drive of the folding arm assembly 310. This allows the user to control only the winding mechanism 200, further improving the convenience of the protective device during use.
[0061] In one embodiment, the elastic element 313 is a tension spring, with one end of the tension spring connected to the second end and the other end of the tension spring connected to the third end.
[0062] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the elastic element 313 is disposed at the rotatable connection between the second end and the third end. The elastic element 313 is a tension spring, which has a compact structure and is easy to arrange. Specifically, a receiving groove is provided at both the second end and the third end, and the elastic element 313 is hidden in the receiving groove, which further improves the structural compactness of the folding arm assembly 310.
[0063] In one embodiment, two folding arm assemblies 310 are symmetrically arranged, and the two folding arm assemblies 310 can be folded toward each other.
[0064] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment of the invention, two folding arm assemblies 310 are provided. The two folding arm assemblies 310 fold or unfold simultaneously. During folding, the two folding arm assemblies 310 move towards each other, ensuring that both folding arm assemblies 310 are located below the flexible shield 100. This prevents either folding arm assembly 310 from extending beyond the flexible shield 100, thereby reducing the space occupied by the protective device and ensuring the protective effect of the flexible shield 100 on the telescopic device. The two folding arm assemblies 310 are symmetrically arranged, resulting in a more balanced force applied to the flexible shield 100. This makes the unfolding of the flexible shield 100 more uniform and smooth, avoiding a situation where one side is fully unfolded while the other side is not fully unfolded.
[0065] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 300 further includes a support member 320, which is attached to the flexible shield 100 and extends along the width direction of the flexible shield 100. The two ends of the support member 320 are respectively rotatably connected to the fourth end of a folding arm assembly 310.
[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the invention, the telescopic mechanism 300 further includes a support member 320. Two folding arm assemblies 310 are connected to both ends of the support member 320, forming a frame structure for the entire telescopic mechanism 300. This improves the stability of the telescopic mechanism 300, and consequently, the stability of the flexible shielding member 100 during unfolding and rolling. Furthermore, the support member 320 is fitted against the lower part of the flexible shielding member 100 and extends along the width direction of the flexible shielding member 100 from one side to the other, making the flexible shielding member 100 flatter during unfolding and rolling. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support member 320 is installed near the end of the flexible shielding member 100, maintaining a certain distance from the end of the flexible shielding member 100 away from the winding mechanism 200. This allows the portion of the flexible shielding member 100 outside the support member 320 to hang naturally under gravity, providing better shielding of the space below.
[0067] In one embodiment, the winding mechanism 200 includes:
[0068] The bracket assembly 210 is fixed to the top of the charging pile 10;
[0069] A roller (not shown in the figure) is rotatably mounted on the support assembly 210, and a flexible shield 100 is at least partially wrapped around the roller.
[0070] The drive assembly 220 drives the connecting roller shaft to rotate.
[0071] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the winding mechanism 200 includes a support assembly 210, a roller shaft, and a drive assembly 220. The roller shaft is rotatably mounted on the support assembly 210, and the drive assembly 220 drives the roller shaft to rotate, thereby winding up or unwinding the flexible shielding member 100 on the roller shaft. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0072] In one embodiment, the driving component 220 includes:
[0073] Motor 221, mounted on bracket assembly 210, has a rotatable output shaft;
[0074] The drive gear 222 is located on the output shaft and rotates synchronously with the output shaft; and
[0075] Driven gear 223 is located on the roller shaft and rotates synchronously with the roller shaft. Driven gear 222 meshes with driven gear 223.
[0076] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment of the invention, the drive assembly 220 includes a motor 221, a drive gear 222, and a driven gear 223. The output shaft of the motor 221 and the roller shaft are connected via gear transmission, resulting in high operational precision and smooth transmission. This improves the stability of the flexible shielding member 100 during winding and unwinding, reducing the likelihood of the flexible shielding member 100 getting stuck. Furthermore, the transmission via the drive gear 222 and driven gear 223 allows for more flexible placement of the motor 221, improving the structural compactness of the winding device and reducing the space occupied by the winding mechanism 200.
[0077] In one embodiment, a drive assembly 220 is provided at each end of the roller shaft, and the motors 221 of the two drive assemblies 220 rotate synchronously.
[0078] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment of the utility model, a drive component 220 is provided at each end of the roller shaft. The two drive components 220 work synchronously to ensure the stability of the force at both ends of the roller shaft and to make the force applied to the flexible shield 100 more balanced, so that the unfolding and rolling of the flexible shield 100 is more uniform and smooth, and to avoid the situation where the degree of winding or release on both sides is different.
[0079] In one embodiment, the protective device further includes a protective cover 400, which has a protective space with an opening. A winding device is disposed inside the protective space. One end of a flexible shield 100 is wound around the winding device, and the other end of the flexible shield 100 extends through the opening to the outside of the protective space.
[0080] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of this utility model, the protective device further includes a protective cover 400, which covers the winding mechanism 200 and part of the flexible shielding member 100 wound on the roller, reducing the impact of rain, snow, dust and other debris in the external environment, and helping to extend the service life of the winding mechanism 200 and the flexible shielding member 100.
[0081] Combination Figures 1 to 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the rolling-up process of the flexible shielding member 100 is as follows: the motor 221 drives the drive gear 222 to rotate, the drive gear 222 drives the driven gear 223 to rotate, and the driven gear 223 drives the roller shaft to rotate in the direction of rolling up the flexible shielding member 100, so that the flexible shielding member 100 is wound around the roller shaft. During this process, the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 of the folding arm assembly 310 both rotate, so that the folding arm assembly 310 folds inward, and the elastic member 313 is stretched by force. The unfolding process of the flexible shield 100 is as follows: the motor 221 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the drive gear 222 to drive the driven gear 223 to rotate. The driven gear 223 drives the roller to rotate in the direction of releasing the flexible shield 100, so that the unwound part of the flexible shield 100 becomes loose. The elastic member 313 begins to recover its own deformation, driving the first arm 311 and the second arm 312 to rotate, so that the folding arm assembly 310 extends, thereby straightening the flexible shield 100 released by the winding mechanism 200 until the folding arm assembly 310 is fully extended, the flexible shield 100 unfolds and covers the front and top of the charging pile 10.
[0082] This utility model also proposes a charging device, comprising:
[0083] Charging pile 10; and
[0084] The protective device of the charging pile 10 is located on the top of the charging pile 10.
[0085] The specific structure of the protective device of the charging pile 10 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this charging equipment adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0086] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
