Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging pile protection technology, and in particular to an outdoor protective structure for charging piles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, charging stations, as an important supporting facility, are being used more and more widely in outdoor environments. However, charging stations face various environmental challenges when operating outdoors for extended periods, such as vehicle collisions, rain erosion, dust accumulation, and poor internal heat dissipation. These factors can all affect the stability and lifespan of the charging stations.

[0003] In the high temperatures of summer, charging stations exposed to sunlight for extended periods experience a rapid increase in internal temperature. The performance of internal electronic components and circuits operating under such conditions is affected, leading to reduced charging efficiency and potentially overheating and damage, shortening the charging station's lifespan and, in severe cases, causing fires and other safety hazards. For example, some existing charging stations, operating in hot weather, suffer from poor heat dissipation, resulting in excessively high internal temperatures and causing charging module malfunctions, preventing them from charging electric vehicles properly. Furthermore, outdoor charging stations are typically installed in parking lots, roadsides, and other areas with high pedestrian and vehicle traffic, making them susceptible to impacts from vehicles or other objects. Impacts to the charging station's outer casing can deform or crack, exposing internal components and creating safety hazards. Currently, some charging stations on the market lack effective collision protection measures, making them easily damaged after impacts and resulting in high repair costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an outdoor protective structure for charging piles to solve the problem of insufficient anti-collision performance of outdoor charging piles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an outdoor protective structure for charging piles, comprising: a protective shell, wherein the charging pile body is disposed inside the protective shell;

[0006] A ventilation assembly is installed on both sides of the protective housing and is used for heat dissipation.

[0007] A collision avoidance assembly is installed on both sides of the protective shell, and the collision avoidance assembly is used to prevent the protective shell from being subjected to external impacts.

[0008] Preferably, the ventilation assembly includes a set of slide rails symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the protective shell, a sliding cover slidably installed between the set of slide rails, a handle fixedly installed on one side of the sliding cover, ventilation plates are provided on both symmetrical sides of the protective shell, and the sliding cover abuts against the ventilation plates.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding cover is the same length and width as the ventilation plate.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-collision assembly includes anti-collision seats installed on both sides of the protective shell, a first sliding plate and a second sliding plate are slidably installed on one side of the anti-collision seat, a plurality of connecting shafts are rotatably installed between the first sliding plate and the second sliding plate, and rollers are fixedly installed on the connecting shafts.

[0011] Preferably, the top and bottom of one side of the anti-collision seat are provided with sliding grooves. The first sliding plate is slidably installed in the sliding groove on the side close to the sliding cover. Several connecting blocks are fixedly installed on one side of the first sliding plate. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the several connecting blocks. The connecting plate is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The second sliding plate is slidably installed in the sliding groove on the side away from the sliding cover. Several connecting blocks are also fixedly installed on one side of the second sliding plate.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of return springs are fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate, and the other side of the return springs is fixedly installed on one side of the slide groove.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of bearings are fixedly installed on one side of the first slide plate and one side of the second slide plate, and the connecting shaft is rotatably installed between two of the bearings.

[0014] Preferably, a receiving cavity is provided on one side of the anti-collision seat, and the receiving cavity is adapted to the roller.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This type of outdoor protective structure for charging piles incorporates anti-collision components. First, the rolling mechanism of the rollers effectively alters the impact direction of vehicles or objects, converting direct collisions into lateral sliding friction, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the protective shell and the main body of the charging pile from frontal impacts. Second, the sliding of the first and second sliding plates within the grooves, combined with a return spring, forms a multi-stage buffer system. Spring deformation absorbs and disperses impact energy, preventing structural deformation caused by sudden, massive impacts. Third, the symmetrically arranged sliding mechanism and connecting shaft ensure balanced force on both sides, preventing tilting damage to the overall structure caused by unilateral impacts. Furthermore, the retractable roller design increases the buffer stroke, effectively reducing friction loss in conjunction with bearing rotation. Finally, the automatically resetting spring mechanism allows the anti-collision components to return to their initial state after each impact, providing continuous protection without manual intervention. This significantly improves the charging pile's anti-collision performance and long-term durability in environments with frequent vehicle traffic, while reducing the frequency and cost of repairs due to impacts.

[0017] 2. This type of outdoor protective structure for charging piles features ventilation components. The sliding cover and ventilation plate work together to flexibly adjust the ventilation area. It can achieve dust and water protection by completely closing the ventilation plate, and precisely control the air intake by adjusting the sliding cover position via a sliding rail when heat dissipation is needed. The symmetrically arranged ventilation components form a two-way convection channel, which, combined with the internal space of the protective shell, naturally creates a through-draft effect, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and effectively preventing the charging pile body from overheating and degrading due to prolonged operation. The precise fit of the equal length and width of the sliding cover and ventilation plate ensures uniform ventilation gaps in any open or closed state, preventing rainwater penetration while ensuring smooth airflow. The overall structure is simple and reliable. While ensuring protective performance, the adjustable ventilation significantly extends the service life of the charging pile body in harsh outdoor environments, reduces the failure rate caused by poor heat dissipation, and lowers maintenance costs.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outdoor protective structure for the charging pile includes: a protective shell 1, inside which the charging pile body 2 is disposed; a ventilation component, which is installed on both sides of the protective shell 1 and is used for heat dissipation; and an anti-collision component, which is installed on both sides of the protective shell 1 and is used to prevent the protective shell 1 from being subjected to external impacts.

[0028] When in use, the outdoor protective structure of this charging pile consists of a protective shell 1, which serves as the main outer shell, enclosing the charging pile body 2 to block external environmental influences such as rain and dust, while providing basic protection for the charging pile body 2. The ventilation components are installed on both sides of the protective shell 1 using a convection design. Utilizing the principle of natural convection, the heat generated by the charging pile body 2 during operation is quickly expelled from the protective shell 1 through airflow, while external cool air is introduced to form a circulating cooling system, maintaining a stable internal temperature. The anti-collision components are located on both sides of the protective shell 1. Through an elastic structure, they absorb impact energy when subjected to external impacts, reducing the vibration transmitted to the protective shell 1 and the charging pile body 2, and preventing structural damage. The protective shell 1 provides sealed protection, the ventilation components achieve efficient heat dissipation through natural convection, and the anti-collision components absorb external impacts. Together, these three components ensure the safe and stable operation of the charging pile body 2 in the outdoor environment.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation assembly includes a set of slide rails 3 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the protective shell 1, a sliding cover 4 slidably installed between the set of slide rails 3, a handle 6 fixedly installed on one side of the sliding cover 4, ventilation plates 5 are provided on both symmetrical sides of the protective shell 1, and the sliding cover 4 abuts against the ventilation plate 5; the sliding cover 4 and the ventilation plate 5 are of the same length and width.

[0030] When the ventilation assembly is in operation, the slide rails 3 symmetrically installed on both sides of the protective shell 1 serve as sliding guide structures, allowing the sliding cover 4 to move horizontally along the slide rails 3. When the operator pushes the sliding cover 4 with the handle 6, the sliding cover 4 will simultaneously cover or expose the ventilation plate 5 at the corresponding position. When the sliding cover 4 completely covers the ventilation plate 5, it can block the entry of external dust and rainwater. When the sliding cover 4 slides to partially or completely separate from the area of ​​the ventilation plate 5, the opening area of ​​the ventilation plate 5 changes linearly with the displacement of the sliding cover 4, forming an adjustable ventilation channel. This structure with symmetrical layout on both sides can achieve bidirectional convection heat dissipation. External airflow enters the interior of the protective shell 1 through the exposed ventilation plate 5 area, and hot air is discharged from the ventilation plate 5 on the other side, forming a through-draft effect. The precise fit between the sliding cover 4 and the ventilation plate 5 ensures that uniform gap control can be maintained at any adjustment position, which not only meets the requirements of dust and water protection, but also allows for precise control of ventilation volume through the position of the sliding cover 4.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the anti-collision assembly includes anti-collision seats 7 installed on both sides of the protective shell 1. A first sliding plate 12 and a second sliding plate 13 are slidably installed on one side of the anti-collision seat 7. Several connecting shafts 11 are rotatably installed between the first sliding plate 12 and the second sliding plate 13. Rollers 10 are fixedly installed on the connecting shafts 11. Sliding grooves 8 are opened at the top and bottom of one side of the anti-collision seat 7. The first sliding plate 12 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 8 near the sliding cover 4. Several connecting blocks 17 are fixedly installed on one side of the first sliding plate 12. A connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the several connecting blocks 17. The connecting plate 16 is slidably installed in the slide groove 8, and the second slide plate 13 is slidably installed in the slide groove 8 on the side away from the slide cover 4. Several connecting blocks 17 are also fixedly installed on one side of the second slide plate 13. Several return springs 15 are fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 16, and the other side of the return springs 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide groove 8. Several bearings 14 are fixedly installed on one side of the first slide plate 12 and one side of the second slide plate 13. The connecting shaft 11 is rotatably installed between two bearings 14. A receiving cavity 9 is opened on one side of the anti-collision seat 7, and the receiving cavity 9 is adapted to the roller 10.

[0032] When an external object impacts the roller 10, the roller 10 rolls on the bearing 14 via the connecting shaft 11, causing the impact force to deflect and reducing the frontal impact. As the impact force increases, the first sliding plate 12 and the second sliding plate 13 slide synchronously in the grooves 8 on both sides of the anti-collision seat 7, driving the connecting plate 16 to compress the return spring 15. The spring deformation absorbs kinetic energy. The connecting block 17 rigidly connects the first sliding plate 12 and the second sliding plate 13 to the connecting plate 16, ensuring that the force on both sides is balanced. During the impact, the roller 10 will partially retract into the receiving cavity 9, forming a buffer stroke. When the impact disappears, the return spring 15 pushes the connecting plate 16 to reset, driving the first sliding plate 12, the second sliding plate 13, and the roller 10 to return to their initial positions. Throughout the process, the rolling friction of the roller 10 consumes some energy, and the spring system absorbs the main impact. The dual mechanism changes the impact direction and attenuates the impact force, achieving graded buffer protection.
