Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging gun technology, specifically to a universally adjustable charging gun device. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, charging stations have become a widely used and important supporting infrastructure. However, in actual use, there is a problem that charging guns at charging stations are often discarded by users without being returned, which poses many challenges to the management and maintenance of charging stations.
[0003] First, carelessly discarding the charging gun will cause it to come into contact with the ground, accelerating the wear and tear on the charging cable and reducing its lifespan. Furthermore, the charging cable lying on the ground can easily trip pedestrians or vehicles, posing a safety hazard. Additionally, improperly returning the charging gun to its designated location will also affect the normal operation of the charging station, preventing subsequent users from easily accessing the charging gun.
[0004] Currently, although some charging stations on the market are equipped with charging gun holders, these devices still have many shortcomings in actual use. For example, some devices cannot effectively prevent users from returning the charging gun to its proper position, or cannot effectively secure it after it has been returned, causing the charging gun to easily fall off. In addition, some charging stations have long and heavy charging gun cables, which users often find inconvenient to put back properly after use.
[0005] Therefore, a universal adjustable charging gun device is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a universally adjustable charging gun device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A universal adjustable charging gun device includes a mounting plate, a slide rail fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate, a slider slidably mounted on the surface of the slide rail, a movable plate fixedly mounted on the surface of the slider, a rotating arm hinged to the surface of the movable plate, a motor fixedly mounted at one end of the rotating arm, the output end of the motor driving the rotating arm, an air pump fixedly mounted at one end of the rotating arm, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the other side of the rotating arm, a charging gun fixedly mounted at one end of the cylinder, and a plug-in connector on the surface of the charging gun.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate, and a lead screw is provided at the output end of the motor.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a nut is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the movable plate, and the nut is threadedly connected to the lead screw.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movable plate surface is hinged to a hydraulic cylinder, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to a rotating arm.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a hydraulic pump is fixedly provided on the surface of the movable plate, and the hydraulic pump is connected to the hydraulic cylinder for transmission.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the charging gun is provided with an identification camera, which is electrically connected to the input terminal of the controller.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the controller is an ARM microprocessor, and motor one, motor two, air pump and hydraulic pump are electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] In this invention, the controller controls the hydraulic pump to extend the hydraulic cylinder, thereby causing the first rotating arm to rotate and unfold. At the same time, the second motor drives the second rotating arm to rotate and unfold. By recognizing the car charging port, the first motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the nut to move, indirectly causing the moving plate to slide laterally on the slide rail surface via the slider. When the charging gun approaches the charging port, the vehicle's charging port will automatically open. This is a built-in function of the vehicle. When the plug is aligned with the socket, the air pump is activated to extend the cylinder, thereby causing the plug to be inserted. Attached Figure Description
