[0002] A charging cable assisted retrieval system is a user-friendly structural device that assists in pulling out and retrieving charging cables due to their weight and length. Currently, commonly used auxiliary devices include spring balancers and swing arm balancers. These adjustment methods have the following limitations: Spring balancers, due to the increasing force of the spring and the material of the spring itself, cause significant tension on the user when the cable is pulled to the end, resulting in a poor user experience; Swing arm balancers are located on top of the charging station and typically consist of two arms, with the main arm being longer. For aesthetic reasons, the swing arm balancer generally cannot protrude from the charging station in its initial state. Therefore, swing arms are mainly used on larger charging stations and are difficult to adapt to smaller ones.

[0033] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements for this application, intended to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the content of this application. Various partial modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the embodiments shown, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the claims.

[0034] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the charging pile swing arm device according to some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the charging pile swing arm device according to other embodiments of this application.

[0036] This application provides a charging pile swing arm device 100, with reference to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a base 110; a spring 120, the first end of which is connected to the base 110; a swing arm 130, the first end of which is connected to the second end of the spring 120; a connector 140, which is connected to the second end of the swing arm 130; and a rotating assembly 150, which is connected to the connector 140 and is configured to rotate about the axis of the connector 140. The rotating assembly 150 is provided with a knot structure 160 for connecting a cable clamp.

[0037] In this application's technical solution, the charging gun's cable is connected to the knot structure 160 via a cable clamp. When using the charging gun, the cable can drive the rotating component 150 to rotate, increasing the flexibility of the cable's movement when pulling out and retracting. The cable drives the swing arm 130 to swing, and the bending deformation of the spring 120 allows the swing arm 130 to swing in all directions, further increasing the flexibility of the cable's use. Different spring specifications and swing arm length combinations can be matched according to different cable weights to achieve a balance between spring force and cable weight, resulting in very low pull-out and retraction force and an excellent user experience. The swing arm 130 can automatically return to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 120, and the elastic force of the spring 120 is smaller than the retraction force of a traditional coil spring balancer, resulting in a higher user experience.

[0038] refer to Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the base 110 is a connecting structure used to fix the spring 120 and fix the spring 120 to the charging pile. Specifically, the base 110 includes a connecting portion 110 for connecting to the charging pile body and a fixing portion 112 for fixing the spring 120. The connecting portion 110 may have a plurality of connecting holes for connecting to the charging pile body. The fixing portion 112 has a fixing ring for fixing the first end of the spring 120. The fixing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the spring 120 to fix the spring 120.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the swing arm 130 is a hollow cylindrical structure (i.e., a circular tube structure). The diameter of the swing arm 130 may be greater than or less than the diameter of the spring 120.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the diameter of the swing arm 130 is smaller than the diameter of the spring 120, and the second end of the spring 120 is fitted onto the outer wall of the first end of the swing arm 130. Alternatively, the diameter of the swing arm 130 is larger than the diameter of the spring 120, and the first end of the swing arm 130 is fitted onto the outer wall of the second end of the spring 120.
