Gun seat, charging gun assembly and charging device

Abstract

This application discloses a gun holder, a charging gun assembly, and a charging device. The gun holder includes a housing and a gun sleeve. The gun sleeve is at least partially disposed within a mounting cavity and has an insertion hole for inserting a charging gun. One of the gun sleeve and the housing has a first wall, and the other has a second wall opposite to the first wall. A pivot is provided on the first wall, and a shaft hole and a guide member communicating with the shaft hole are provided on the second wall. During the assembly of the gun sleeve into the housing, the pivot can slide into the guide member and move along the guide member into the shaft hole. The pivot is rotatably connected to the shaft hole. In this application example, the gun sleeve, which can rotate relative to the housing, allows the opening of the insertion hole of the gun sleeve to face the ground more when the gun sleeve is in the first position. This allows the gun sleeve to shield the charging gun, reducing the possibility of moisture entering the charging gun through the gap between the gun holder and the charging gun. When the gun sleeve is in the second position, the charging gun can be easily inserted into the insertion hole.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging technology, and in particular to a gun holder, a charging gun assembly, and a charging device. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicle charging stations, or electric vehicle charging piles, are devices that provide electrical energy to electric vehicles, enabling them to store sufficient power to support their operation. The charging gun holder serves as a fixed socket for the charging gun, which users can install next to the charging pile body to place and secure the charging gun, according to their needs. The charging gun is the charging device that connects the charging pile and the electric vehicle; it is also the tool that transmits power from the power source to the vehicle battery. It comes with a cable of varying lengths, ranging from five to ten meters, for insertion into the vehicle's charging port to charge the battery. To facilitate insertion of the charging gun into the holder, the holder typically has a horizontally positioned insertion hole. However, during use, rainwater can easily enter the gap between the holder and the charging gun, affecting the safe operation of the charging gun. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a gun holder, a charging gun assembly, and a charging device, which aims to improve the problem of water easily entering the gun holder during use.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, one technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a gun holder for inserting a charging gun, the gun holder comprising:

[0005] The housing has a mounting cavity; and

[0006] The holster is at least partially disposed within the mounting cavity and has an opening for inserting a charging gun; one of the holster and the housing has a first wall and the other has a second wall disposed opposite to the first wall; the first wall is provided with a pivot, and the second wall is provided with a pivot hole and a guide member communicating with the pivot hole.

[0007] During the assembly of the holster into the housing, the pivot can slide into the guide and move along the guide to the shaft hole. The pivot is rotatably connected to the shaft hole. The holster has a first position with the charging gun inserted and a second position without the charging gun inserted. The holster can rotate between the first and second positions under the influence of the charging gun.

The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this application. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0036] Charging stations are used to charge new energy vehicles and other equipment. Since the charging gun's mount is typically mounted on the side wall of the charging station, it is usually oriented horizontally for user convenience when operating from the side. During use, water can enter the charging gun along the mount, potentially affecting its safety.

[0037] This application addresses the aforementioned problems by providing a gun holder for inserting a charging gun. The gun holder includes a housing and a gun sleeve, with a mounting cavity formed in the housing. The gun sleeve is at least partially disposed within the mounting cavity and has an insertion hole for inserting the charging gun. One of the gun sleeve and the housing has a first wall, and the other has a second wall opposite to the first wall. A pivot is provided on the first wall, and a shaft hole and a guide member communicating with the shaft hole are provided on the second wall. During the assembly of the gun sleeve into the housing, the pivot can slide into the guide member and move along the guide member into the shaft hole, and the pivot is rotatably connected to the shaft hole. The gun sleeve has a first position for inserting the charging gun and a second position for not inserting the charging gun, and the gun sleeve can rotate between the first and second positions under the influence of the charging gun. The opening of the insertion hole faces the ground more when the gun sleeve is in the first position than when it is in the second position. In this example, by using a holster that can rotate relative to the housing, the holster can be in the first position when the charging gun is inserted into it. At this time, the opening of the holster's insertion hole is set to face the horizontal plane, so that moisture is not easily allowed to enter the insertion hole, thereby reducing the possibility of the charging gun getting wet.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The gun holder 20 in this application can be used for the charging device 100, which can be the charging pile mentioned above. The charging device 100 includes a body 101 and a gun holder 20. The charging device 100 may also include a charging gun 11.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The gun holder 20 in this application can be used for the charging gun assembly 10, wherein the gun holder 20 can be used to insert the charging gun 11 so that the charging gun 11 can be fixed in a preset position of the charging device 100.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6This application discloses an example of a gun holder 20 for inserting a charging gun 11. The gun holder 20 includes a housing 21 and a gun sleeve 22. The housing 21 has a mounting cavity 213, and the gun sleeve 22 is at least partially disposed within the mounting cavity 213. The gun sleeve 22 has an insertion hole 221 for inserting the charging gun 11. One of the gun sleeve 22 and the housing 21 has a first wall 214, and the other has a second wall 222 disposed opposite to the first wall 214. A pivot 215 is provided on the first wall 214, and a shaft hole is provided on the second wall 222. 2221 and a hollow guide 2222 connecting the shaft hole 2221; during the assembly of the holster 22 to the housing 21, the pivot 215 can slide into the guide 2222 and move along the guide 2222 into the shaft hole 2221; the holster 22 has a first position with the charging gun 11 inserted and a second position without the charging gun 11 inserted, and the holster 22 can rotate between the first position and the second position under the influence of the charging gun 11, and the opening of the insertion hole 221 is more ground-facing when the holster 22 is in the first position than when it is in the second position.

[0041] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The housing 21 can be mounted on a charging station. The housing 21 can be a single, integral structure or composed of multiple parts. Optionally, the housing 21 may include a bottom shell 211 and an upper shell 212, wherein the bottom shell 211 can be mounted on the charging station, and the upper shell 212 can be connected to the side of the bottom shell 211 facing away from the charging station. A mounting cavity 213 is provided on the housing 21, and the holster 22 is at least partially inserted into the mounting cavity 213. The mounting cavity 213 is a cavity formed on the housing 21, and the holster 22 can be at least partially mounted within it. This not only restricts the position of the holster 22 relative to the housing 21, improving the stability of the holster 22, but also reduces the possibility of the holster 22 detaching from the housing 21. The holster 22 can rotate within the mounting cavity 213, allowing it to move between a first position and a second position. The first wall 214 can be one of the inner wall surfaces of the mounting cavity 213. A rotating shaft 215 is provided on the first wall 214. The rotating shaft 215 can be formed by a protrusion provided on the first wall 214.

[0042] The holster 22 is used to cooperate with the charging gun 11. The holster 22 is connected to the housing 21 so that the holster 22 and the housing 21 can form a gun base 20 structure. The holster 22 can be provided with an insertion hole 221. The insertion hole 221 has an opening, and the charging gun 11 can be inserted into the insertion hole 221 through the opening so that the charging gun 11 is fixed on the gun base 20. The second wall 222 can be the outer wall surface of the holster 22. The second wall 222 is provided with a shaft hole 2221. The shaft hole 2221 can be a countersunk hole or a through hole directly opened on the second wall 222. Alternatively, a protruding post or other intermediate member can be provided on the second wall 222, and a countersunk hole or a through hole can be opened on the intermediate member so that the intermediate member serves as a shaft hole. When the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213, the rotating shaft 215 can be inserted into the shaft hole 2221 so that the holster 22 can rotate between a first position and a second position. In other examples, the first wall 214 can be an inner wall of the mounting cavity 213, and the second wall 222 can be an outer wall of the holster 22. Optionally, the first wall 214 can also be a wall of the holster 22 or a wall of the housing 21. For ease of description, the following will use the example of the first wall 214 being a wall of the housing 21 and the second wall 222 being a wall of the holster 22.

[0043] The guide member 2222 is connected to the shaft hole member 2221. The guide member 2222 is at least partially hollow, so that the guide member 2222 can form a channel on the second wall 222 to accommodate the rotating shaft 215. Optionally, the guide member 2222 can be a groove formed on the second wall 222. One end of the guide member 2222 is connected to the shaft hole member 2221, and the other end extends away from the shaft hole member 2221, so that the rotating shaft 215 can move towards the shaft hole member 2221 along the channel formed by the guide member 2222. Optionally, two elongated protrusions can be provided at intervals on the second wall 222, and the guide member 2222 can be formed by the two protrusions. The rotating shaft can move towards the shaft hole member 2221 along the area between the two elongated protrusions. When the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213, the rotating shaft 215 can be slidably connected to the guide member 2222 and move along the guide member 2222 into the shaft hole 2221. The guide member 2222 can be used to limit and guide the rotating shaft 215 so that the rotating shaft 215 can only move along the trajectory formed by the guide member 2222 towards the shaft hole 2221. Optionally, the end of the guide member 2222 away from the shaft hole 2221 can extend to the edge of the second wall 222 so that the rotating shaft 215 can enter the guide member 2222 from the edge of the second wall 222 and move along the guide member 2222 towards the shaft hole 2221.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5The holster 22 is rotatably connected to the housing 21 between a first position and a second position, so that the opening of the insertion hole 221 of the holster 22 can be relatively changed. When the holster 22 is in the first position, the opening of the insertion hole 221 of the holster 22 faces the ground. The opening of the insertion hole 221 of the holster 22 can be parallel to the ground, or the opening of the insertion hole 221 can be set at a certain angle with the ground. Generally speaking, the plane where the opening of the insertion hole 221 is located is set downward. The plane where the opening of the insertion hole 221 is located can also be set at a first angle 5α with the horizontal plane, wherein the first angle 5α is less than 90°.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the holster 22 is in the second position, the angle between the plane where the opening of the holster 221 is located and the horizontal plane is the second angle 6α. The second angle 6α is greater than the first angle 5α, so that the holster 22 is more facing the ground when it is in the first position than when it is in the second position.

[0046] When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221 through the opening of the socket 221, the gun sleeve 22 will tend to move towards the first position under the gravity of the charging gun 11 and the charging cable. When the gun sleeve 22 rotates to the first position, since the opening of the socket is set towards the ground, the gun sleeve 22 can be placed on the charging gun 11 above or diagonally above it. This allows the gun sleeve 22 to shield the end of the charging gun 11. When rainwater flows along the gun base 20 towards the charging gun 11, the water can flow along the outer surface of the gun sleeve 22 towards the handle of the charging gun 11. Water is less likely to enter the end of the charging gun 11, thereby reducing the problem of water entering the end of the charging gun 11 and affecting the reliability of the charging gun 11.

[0047] When the charging gun 11 is removed from the socket 221, the force acting on the holster 22 decreases. At this time, the holster 22 can be returned to the second position so that the opening of the socket 221 faces a more convenient direction for user operation. In this application example, the holster 22 can be rotated from the first position to the second position automatically or manually. When rotating the holster 22 from the first position to the second position automatically, a spring, mechanical push, or other means can be used to rotate the holster 22 relative to the housing 21. Alternatively, the holster 22 can be tilted towards the second position when the charging gun 11 is pulled out of the socket 221 by adjusting the counterweights of different parts of the holster 22.

[0048] In this example, by using a rotating shaft 215 set on the first wall 214 and a shaft hole 2221 set on the second wall 222, the relative position of the holster 22 on the housing 21 can be restricted by the rotating shaft 215 and the shaft hole 2221, reducing the possibility of the holster 22 falling off the housing 21. On the other hand, the rotation trajectory of the holster 22 can be restricted, improving the stability of the rotation trajectory of the holster 22.

[0049] The first wall 214 can be the inner wall surface of the mounting cavity 213, and the second wall 222 can be the outer wall surface of the holster 22. In this example, the mounting cavity 213 can have two opposing first walls 214, and the holster 22 can have two opposing second walls 222. The two second walls 222 on the holster 22 are respectively set one-to-one with the two first walls 214 of the mounting cavity 213. When the holster 22 is installed in the mounting cavity 213, the first wall 214 is opposite to the corresponding second wall 222, so that the pivot 215 on the first wall 214 can be inserted into the shaft hole 2221 on the corresponding second wall 222, thereby limiting the holster 22 from two directions to improve the structural stability of the holster 22.

[0050] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some examples, a guide surface 2151 is provided on the rotating shaft 215. The guide surface 2151 is used to guide and cooperate with the inner wall surface of the guide member 2222 when the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213. The included angle between the guide surface 2151 and the horizontal plane is a third included angle 8α, and the third included angle 8α is not less than the second included angle 6α.

[0051] The guide surface 2151 can be a plane on the rotating shaft 215, or optionally, a wall surface on the side wall of the rotating shaft 215. The guide surface 2151 is used to abut against the inner wall surface of the guide member 2222 when the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213, so that the guide surface 2151 can limit and guide the guide member 2222, thereby allowing the holster 22 to move along the extension direction of the guide surface 2151 to a preset position within the mounting cavity 213. In this example, the guide surface 2151 can guide and cooperate with the inner wall surface of the guide member 2222, meaning that the guide surface 2151 can be parallel to the inner wall surface of the guide member 2222, thereby allowing the guide member 2222 and the rotating shaft 215 to mutually limit each other. When the rotating shaft 215 moves to the shaft hole 2221, the holster 22 can rotate around the rotating shaft 215, thereby allowing the holster 22 to move towards the second position.

[0052] The angle between the guide surface 2151 and the horizontal plane is the third included angle 8α, meaning that the plane containing the guide surface 2151 and the horizontal plane form the third included angle 8α. The third included angle 8α is not less than the second included angle 6α. When the holster 22 is aligned with the mounting cavity 213 and the guide member 2222 is set along the third included angle 8α, the holster 22 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 213 along the direction of the guide surface 2151. At this time, the rotating shaft 215 can be embedded in the guide member 2222, and the inner wall surfaces of the guide surface 2151 and the guide member 2222 are in contact with each other. Continue to move the holster 22 so that the rotating shaft 215 moves to the shaft hole 2221. At this time, the holster 22 can be rotated to move the holster 22 to the second position direction. In this example, the guide 2222 can cooperate with the guide surface 2151 to move the holster 22 along a preset trajectory to a preset position on the housing 21. Since the third included angle 8α is not less than the second included angle 6α, when the holster 22 is rotated to the second position, the guide surface 2151 can be offset from the guide 2222. At this time, the rotating shaft 215 cannot move outward along the guide 2222, thus limiting the rotating shaft 215 at the shaft hole 2221.

[0053] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some examples, a rotating track 2223 is also provided on the second wall 222, and a guide block 216 is also provided on the first wall 214. The guide block 216 is slidably connected to the rotating track 2223 to limit the range of rotation of the holster 22 between the first position and the second position.

[0054] The rotating track 2223 can be a groove formed on the second wall 222, and the guide block 216 can be a protrusion set on the first wall 214. When the holster 22 rotates between the first position and the second position, the guide block 216 can rotate along the rotating track 2223. Through the cooperation of the guide block 216 and the rotating track 2223, the rotation trajectory of the holster 22 can be restricted, thereby improving the structural stability of the holster 22. In this example, the rotating track 2223 can be an annular track surrounding the shaft hole 2221, or it can be a semi-annular or smaller arc track.

[0055] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9In some examples, the rotating track 2223 has a first end, the rotating track 2223 is disposed on the second wall 222, the guide block 216 is disposed on the first wall 214, the first end of the rotating track 2223 communicates with one side of the guide member 2222, and as the rotating shaft 215 moves along the guide member 2222 into the shaft hole 2221, the guide block 216 moves with the rotating shaft 215 within the guide member 2222, wherein the rotating track 2223 is close to the opening of the first end of the guide member 2222.

[0056] When the holster 22 rotates between the first and second positions, the guide block 215 can be rotated by the guide member 2222 into the rotating track 2223. In this example, the rotating track 2223, the guide member 2222, and the shaft hole member 2221 are all located on the second wall 222. The rotating track 2223 connects to the guide member 2222, so that when the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213, the guide block 216 and the rotating shaft 215 can move together along the guide member 2222. When the rotating shaft 215 is at the shaft hole member 2221, the guide block 216 moves to the position of the rotating track 2223 corresponding to the guide member 2222. At this time, rotating the holster 22 allows the guide block 216 to move into the rotating track 2223. In this example, by using the rotating track 2223 that connects to the guide member 2222, the guide block 216 can move simultaneously along the guide member 2222 to a preset position when assembling the holster 22, which helps to simplify the assembly of the holster 22 and the housing 21 and improve assembly efficiency.

[0057] In some examples, the rotating track 2223 also has a second end opposite to the first end. When the holster 22 rotates between the first and second positions, the guide block 216 can move relative to the opening at the first end of the rotating track 2223 and the second end of the rotating track 2223; wherein, the second end of the rotating track 2223 is used to restrict the guide block 216 from moving out of the rotating track 2223. In this example, the position of the rotating track 2223 can be the maximum rotation position when the guide block 216 rotates away from the guide member 2222, and thus the range of movement of the guide block 216 can be limited by the cooperation of the rotating track 2223 and the guide block 215.

[0058] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8In some examples, the guide surface 2151 is located on the side wall of the rotating shaft 215, and the side wall of the rotating shaft 215 has an arc surface 2152 connecting the guide surface 2151. When the holster 22 rotates between the first position and the second position, the arc surface 2152 is used to rotate and engage with the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 2221. In this example, the arc surface 2152 can be a side surface of the rotating shaft 215 that is adapted to the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 2221. By using the arc surface 2152, the rotational resistance between the rotating shaft 215 and the shaft hole 2221 can be reduced. By setting the guide surface 2151 as the side wall of the rotating shaft 215, the side wall of the rotating shaft 215 and the side wall of the guide 2222 can be adapted to each other, thereby improving the stability of the movement stroke when the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213.

[0059] Please see Figures 5 to 8 In some examples, a first elastic limiting part 2111 is also provided on the inner wall of the housing 21. When the holster 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the first elastic limiting part 2111 elastically abuts against the holster 22.

[0060] The first elastic limiting part 2111 is a structure provided on the housing 21 that can generate an elastic force on the holster 22. The first elastic limiting part 2111 can be a spring clip, an elastic buckle, or other structures. When the holster 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the first elastic limiting part 2111 elastically abuts against the holster 22, preventing the holster 22 from continuing to rotate, thereby making the maximum rotational position of the holster 22 within the housing 21 the second position. In some examples, when the holster 22 is inserted into the mounting cavity 213, the holster 22 can move along... Figure 8 When the holster is rotated counterclockwise, the first elastic part can elastically deform, allowing the holster 22 to continue rotating towards the second position. When the holster 22 moves to the second position, the first elastic limiting part 2111 blocks the rotation path of the holster 22, preventing the holster 22 from rotating along the same path. Figure 8 Rotate clockwise away from the first position.

[0061] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some examples, the housing 21 has a relief groove 217, and the first elastic limiting part includes an elastic connecting piece 2112 and a protrusion 2113. The elastic connecting piece 2112 is at least partially suspended in the relief groove 217, and the protrusion 2113 protrudes from the side of the elastic connecting piece 2112 facing the mounting cavity. When the holster 22 is in the second position, the protrusion 2113 abuts against the holster 22 to prevent the holster 22 from continuing to rotate away from the first position.

[0062] The elastic connecting piece 2112 is a deformable sheet structure connected to the housing 21. The elastic connecting piece 2112 can generate elastic deformation when subjected to external force. The protrusion 2113 is a protrusion or bump structure that protrudes from the elastic connecting piece 2112 towards the mounting cavity.

[0063] The clearance groove 217 is a recessed groove or through groove formed on the housing 21. The elastic connecting piece 2112 is at least partially suspended within the clearance groove 217, so that the clearance groove 217 forms a space for the elastic connecting piece 2112 to deform. When the holster 22 rotates from the first position to the second position, the protrusion 2113 can abut against the holster 22 to limit the holster 22 and prevent it from continuing to rotate away from the first position. Thus, the protrusion 2113 can limit the range of movement of the holster 22. Optionally, when the holster 22 needs to move further away from the first position beyond the protrusion 2113, the holster 22 can squeeze the protrusion 2113 to deform the elastic connecting piece 2112, thereby causing the holster 22 to detach from the protrusion 2113.

[0064] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some examples, the holster 22 is provided with a first reset member 228, which is used to generate a force on the holster 22 to move it from a first position to a second position. The first reset member 228 is connected to the holster 22 and is used to give the holster 22 a tendency to move from the first position to the second position. In this example, the corresponding first reset member 228 can be selected according to the structure and installation method of the holster 22 and the housing 21. Optionally, the first reset member 228 can be a counterweight, which can give the holster 22 a tendency to rotate towards the second position through its own weight. Optionally, the first reset member 228 can also be an elastic structure such as a torsion spring, which can give the holster 22 a tendency to rotate towards the second position through elastic reset.

[0065] In some examples, the first reset member 228 is a counterweight, which is located on the bottom of the end of the holster 22 opposite to the insertion hole 221. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 221, the holster 22 tends to move towards the first position due to the gravity of the charging gun 11 and the charging cable. When the charging gun 11 is removed, the holster 22 gradually moves towards the second position under the action of the counterweight. Optionally, the housing 21 is provided with a first elastic limiting part 2111. When the holster 22 rotates to the second position, the first elastic limiting part 2111 can prevent the holster 22 from continuing to rotate away from the first position, thereby keeping the holster 22 in the second position.

[0066] In some examples, the first reset element 228 is an elastic element. When the holster 22 is in the first position, the elastic element is compressed. After the charging gun 11 is pulled out, the elastic element, under the action of elastic restoring force, moves the holster 22 to the second position. In this example, the elastic element can be a compression spring, torsion spring, metal spring, or other elastic structure with elastic restoring capability. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the holster 22, the holster 22 is in the first position due to the weight of the charging gun 11. The holster compresses the first reset element 228, causing it to be compressed and deformed. When the charging gun 11 is pulled out of the holster 22, the force on the first reset element 228 decreases, and the first reset element exerts a force on the holster 22 to move it to the second position, thereby causing the holster 22 to return to the second position under the action of elastic force.

[0067] In some examples, the holster 22 is provided with a protrusion 227, which abuts against the first elastic limiting portion 2111 when the holster 22 moves from the first position to the second position. The protrusion 227 is used to cooperate with the first elastic limiting portion 2111, and the protrusion 227 can protrude from the surface of the holster 22. When the holster 22 rotates from the first position to the second position, the protrusion 227 abuts against the first elastic limiting portion 2111 to prevent the holster 22 from continuing to rotate away from the first position.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figures 10 to 12 Based on the aforementioned gun holder 20, this application also proposes an example of a charging gun assembly 10, which includes a charging gun 11 and a gun holder 20 as described in any of the above examples. The charging gun 11 can be connected to a charging station via a charging cable. The charging gun 11 cooperates with the gun holder 20, and the charging gun 11 can be inserted into the socket 221 of the gun sleeve 22.

[0069] In some examples, one of the gun holster 22 and the charging gun 11 of the gun holder 20 is provided with a second elastic limiting part 226, and the other is provided with a limiting hole 111. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221, the second elastic limiting part 226 is elastically inserted into the limiting hole 111.

[0070] The second elastic limiting part 226 and the limiting hole 111 are positioning mechanisms respectively provided on the gun holster 22 and the charging gun 11. The second elastic limiting part 226 can be provided on the gun holster 22, and the limiting hole 111 can be provided on the charging gun 11, or the second elastic limiting part 226 can be provided on the charging gun 11, and the limiting hole 111 can be provided on the gun holster 22. For ease of description, the following description uses the example of the second elastic limiting part 226 being provided on the gun holster 22 and the limiting block being provided on the charging gun 11. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221, the second elastic limiting part 226 can be inserted into the limiting hole 111. At this time, the second elastic limiting part 226 can prevent the charging gun 11 from moving outward from the socket 221. In this example, the second elastic limiting part 226 can be composed of elastic rubber, a spring sheet, or a combination thereof.

[0071] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some examples, the second elastic limiting part 226 is provided on the gun holster 22; a through hole 225 is provided on the inner wall surface of the gun holster 22, and the second elastic limiting part 226 is inserted into the through hole 225. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221, the second elastic limiting part 226 protrudes out of the through hole 225 and is inserted into the limiting hole 111.

[0072] The through hole 225 is a countersunk hole or through hole formed on the inner wall of the holster 22. The second elastic limiting part 226 is inserted into the through hole 225 to limit the displacement of the second elastic limiting part 226 through the through hole 225. The second elastic limiting part 226 can only move along the axial direction of the through hole 225.

[0073] When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221, the second elastic limiting part 226 extends out of the through hole 225 and is inserted into the limiting hole 111 to limit the charging gun 11.

[0074] In some examples, the holster 22 is provided with a receiving cavity 223 that communicates with the insertion hole 221. One end of the through hole 225 communicates with the receiving cavity 223 and the other end communicates with the insertion hole 221. A second reset member 224 is provided in the receiving cavity 223. The second reset member 224 is connected to the end of the second elastic limiting part 226 away from the insertion hole 221. The reset member is used to generate an elastic force on the second elastic limiting part 226 in the direction of the insertion hole 221.

[0075] The receiving cavity 223 is a cavity formed on the holster 22, and the through hole 225 connects the receiving cavity 223 and the insertion hole 221. The second elastic limiting part 226 can be partially disposed in the receiving cavity 223 and partially protrude into the insertion hole 221 through the through hole 225.

[0076] The second reset member 224 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 223. The second reset member 224 is connected to the end of the second elastic limiting part 226 away from the socket 221. When the charging gun 11 is inserted into the socket 221, the charging gun 11 squeezes the second elastic limiting part 226. At this time, the second elastic limiting part 226 squeezes the second reset member 224, so that the second reset member 224 undergoes elastic deformation. When the second elastic limiting part 226 is engaged in the limiting hole 111, the second reset member 224 generates an elastic force on the second elastic limiting part 226, so that the end of the second elastic limiting part 226 away from the second reset member 224 is limited in the limiting hole 111. When the charging gun 11 needs to be removed, the charging gun 11 can squeeze the second elastic limiting part 226, so that the second elastic limiting part 226 squeezes the second reset member 224 to deform, thereby causing the second elastic limiting part 226 to contract in the direction of the accommodating cavity 223, so that the second elastic limiting part 226 moves out of the limiting hole 111.

[0077] In some examples, the second elastic limiting part 226 includes a first segment 2261 and a second segment 2262 connected to the first segment 2261. The first segment 2261 is disposed in the receiving cavity 223, and the second segment 2262 passes through the through hole 225 and protrudes into the insertion hole 221. The maximum outer circumferential diameter of the first segment 2261 is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole 225. The second reset member 224 is connected to the first segment 2261.

[0078] The first segment 2261 is connected to the second segment 2262. The first segment 2261 and the second segment 2262 can be integrally formed, or the first segment 2261 and the second segment 2262 can be separately arranged and interconnected. The first segment 2261 is disposed within the receiving cavity 223, and the second segment 2262 protrudes into the insertion hole 221. The second reset member 224 is connected to the end of the first segment 2261 away from the second segment 2262. The maximum outer diameter of the first segment 2261 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 225, so that the first segment 2261 cannot move into the insertion hole 221 through the through hole 225. In this example, by using the first segment 2261 and the second segment 2262 in cooperation, the maximum movement range of the second segment 2262 can be limited by the first segment 2261.

[0079] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application also provides an example of a charging device 100, which includes a body 101 and a gun holder 20 as in any of the above examples or a charging gun assembly 10 as in any of the above examples. The body 101 is electrically connected to the charging gun assembly 10 via wires, which can be cables or copper core cables, RVV cables (copper core PVC insulated PVC sheathed flexible wires), drag chain cables, PUR cables (special wires and cables made with polyurethane as the outer sheath material), or other cable materials with conductive materials.

[0080] In this example, the body 101 can be a charging station, and the gun mount 20 can be fixedly or detachably installed on the body 101.
