Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses an integrated locking structure for AC / DC charging bases, including a DC charging base 10, an AC charging base 20, and a locking mechanism 30. The locking mechanism 30 includes an electronic lock 31, a DC-end locking rod 32, an AC-end locking rod 33, and a linkage mechanism 34. The DC-end locking rod 32 is connected to the top end of the electronic lock 31 and passes through the DC charging base 10. The linkage mechanism 34 is connected to the DC-end locking rod 32, and the AC-end locking rod 33 is connected to the linkage mechanism 34 and passes through the AC charging base 20. First, it should be noted that the electronic lock 31 in this application is a known structure disclosed in the market, and will not be described in detail here. In actual use, when the top rod of the electronic lock 31 drives the DC-end locking rod 32 to push out, the linkage mechanism 34 can simultaneously drive the AC-end locking rod 33 to push out. In this way, the locking requirements of the AC and DC ends of the locking gun are met.

The AC end locking rod 33 is connected to the third hinge rod 343. Under the drive of the current end locking rod, the first hinge rod 341, the second hinge rod 342, and the third hinge rod 343 move in coordination, thereby driving the AC end locking rod 33 to run.

[0029] In addition, in order to enable the DC charging base 10 and AC charging base 20 to cooperate with the DC end locking rod 32 and AC end locking rod 33, this application provides a first locking hole 11 on the DC charging base 10, and the DC locking rod is movably disposed in the first locking hole 11.
