Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle charging technology, specifically a 7kW AC electric vehicle charging pile. Background Technology
[0002] Public AC charging stations face the core contradiction of "too many vehicles, too few charging stations." Currently, 7kW AC chargers are the mainstream charging equipment in residential areas and commercial venues, and the need for technological upgrades is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Current AC charger systems face significant technical bottlenecks: In terms of communication, traditional equipment often uses a single 4G module, which is susceptible to network signal fluctuations and lacks a local Bluetooth near-field control channel; in terms of security, mechanical charging gun locking mechanisms are vulnerable to forced entry, and cabinets with IP54 or lower protection ratings are ill-suited for complex outdoor environments; in short, traditional AC charger systems are unstable and have poor adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a 7kW AC electric vehicle charging pile. The communication module of this system adopts a 4G and Bluetooth dual-mode communication architecture, and the communication module is electrically connected to the control module. This structural design enables automatic switching between the two modes, ensuring the continuity of charging command transmission. In addition, the charging gun adopts a mechanically interlocked electronic lock, which improves safety and solves the technical problems of unstable performance and poor adaptability of existing AC charging systems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a 7kW AC electric vehicle charging pile, comprising a cabinet body, wherein a control module, a communication module, a power module, a user interaction module, and a safety protection module are integrated and installed within the cabinet body. The control module and the communication module are electrically connected via an RS485 bus. The control module is electrically connected to the power module via internal cables, and the power module is electrically connected to the charging gun. The communication module consists of a 4G unit module and a Bluetooth module forming a dual-mode communication architecture, automatically switching to Bluetooth control mode when the 4G signal strength is below -85dBm. The user interaction module includes a card reader and a display screen. The card reader is electrically connected to the control module, and the safety protection module is mechanically connected to the charging gun.
[0006] Furthermore, the power module includes an EMI filter, an AC / DC converter, and an LLC resonant circuit connected in sequence, wherein the output of the LLC resonant circuit is connected to a temperature-compensated current sensor.
[0007] Furthermore, the safety protection module includes a mechanically interlocked electronic lock, which is driven by a PWM signal and has a built-in triaxial accelerometer. When the sensor detects abnormal vibration, it triggers an emergency stop.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a display panel installed on the front of the main body of the cabinet, which is electrically connected to the control module via an FPC cable.
[0009] Furthermore, a wall-mounted mounting plate is installed on the back of the main cabinet body for wall mounting.
[0010] Furthermore, a column is installed at the center of the bottom of the main body of the cabinet for column-type installation, and a base is installed at the lower end of the column.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a 7kW AC electric vehicle charging pile, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The system's communication module adopts a 4G and Bluetooth dual-mode communication architecture. This design can automatically switch to Bluetooth mode when the 4G signal strength is below -85dBm, ensuring the continuity of charging command transmission. The power module achieves a conversion efficiency of 94% through a three-stage processing architecture of EMI filter, AC / DC converter and LLC resonant circuit. Combined with a temperature-compensated current sensor to calibrate the output in real time, it significantly improves the accuracy of power utilization and enhances the stability of performance.
[0013] 2. The system's safety protection module is mechanically interlocked with the charging gun via a PWM-driven electronic lock. The built-in three-axis acceleration sensor can trigger an emergency stop within 20ms when abnormal vibrations greater than 5g are detected. It also provides two installation modes: wall-mounted (load-bearing capacity 50kg) and column-mounted (adjustable anchor bolt base), to adapt to different scenario requirements and expand the applicability of equipment deployment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

The card reader 501 is electrically connected to the control module 2, and the safety protection module 6 is mechanically connected to the charging gun 7; The safety protection module 6 includes a mechanically interlocked electronic lock 601. The electronic lock 601 is driven by a PWM signal and has a built-in three-axis accelerometer 602. When the sensor 602 detects abnormal vibration, it triggers an emergency stop action.
[0022] In the above embodiment, a wall-mounted mounting plate 101 is installed on the back of the cabinet body 1 for wall-mounted installation. Mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the wall-mounted mounting plate 101. The wall-mounted mounting plate 101 is fixed to the wall through these holes. The cabinet body 1 is quickly inserted and installed onto the wall-mounted mounting plate 101 from bottom to top, completing the wall-mounted installation. Example
[0023] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the main body 1 of the 7kW AC electric vehicle charging pile can be wall-mounted as in Embodiment 1 or column-mounted. Specifically, a column 102 is installed at the center of the bottom of the main body 1 for column-mounted installation, and a base 103 is installed at the lower end of the column 102. Mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the base 103. The column 102, mounted on the base 103, is fixed to the ground through these holes, and the main body 1 is then installed on the column 102, completing the column-mounted installation.
[0024] The working principle of the above embodiment 1 or embodiment 2 is as follows:
[0025] During operation, the system is seamlessly controlled by the control module 2 via a dual-mode communication architecture. When the 4G unit module 301 detects a signal strength below -85dBm, the Bluetooth module 302 is automatically activated to ensure uninterrupted command transmission. The power module 4 employs a three-stage processing architecture. After the EMI filter 401 eliminates grid harmonics, the AC / DC converter 402 and LLC resonant circuit 403 achieve a conversion efficiency of 94%. The temperature-compensated current sensor 404 calibrates the output accuracy in real time. The safety protection module 6 forms a mechanical interlock with the charging gun 7 via a PWM-driven electronic lock 601. The built-in triaxial accelerometer 602 triggers an emergency stop circuit to disconnect the output within 20ms when it detects abnormal vibrations greater than 5g. The user interaction module 5's card reader 501 supports the ISO / IEC 14443 protocol, and the display screen 502 displays the charging voltage / current curve in real time. All data is synchronously exchanged with the main control module 1 via an RS485 bus. The indicator light panel 8 is installed on the front of the main body 1 of the cabinet. When in standby mode, the blue light is always on; when charging, the yellow light is always on; when fully charged, the yellow light turns to green and stays on; and when a fault occurs, the red light stays on.
[0026] The system supports two installation modes: wall-mounted and column-mounted. The wall-mounted mode utilizes a rear-mounted mounting plate 101 with reinforcing ribs to distribute stress, achieving a maximum load capacity of 50kg. The column-mounted mode employs a column 102 with a flange-type base 103, and adjustable anchor bolts to adapt to different foundation conditions. These two installation modes cater to users' diverse installation needs, increasing installation flexibility.
