Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor charging pile technology, and in particular to a charging pile with waterproof function. Background Technology
[0002] Charging piles function similarly to gas pumps at gas stations. They can be fixed to the ground or walls and installed in public buildings, residential parking lots, or charging stations. They can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. The input end of the charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. People can use a specific charging card to swipe on the human-machine interface provided by the charging pile to perform operations such as selecting the charging method, charging time, and printing fee data.
[0003] Existing charging stations typically include a casing, a charging module housed within the casing, and a charging interface connected to the charging module. The casing has an openable door for accessing the charging interface and maintaining the internal equipment. During operation, the door is opened to connect the charging interface to the electric vehicle's charging port, enabling power transfer. In charging stations with basic waterproofing features, waterproof strips are often installed along the door's edges; the seal created by the strips when the door is closed prevents rainwater from entering.
[0004] Existing charging stations have significant deficiencies in their waterproof design regarding protection against rainwater during door opening. When a user opens the charging station door to begin charging, traditional waterproof strips and similar structures cannot form a dynamic waterproof barrier simultaneously. Rainwater can then directly enter the charging station through the open door, contacting electrical components such as the charging interface and charging module, potentially leading to short circuits, electrical leaks, and other safety hazards. This severely impacts the normal operation of the charging station and the safety of the user. Furthermore, prolonged rainwater intrusion accelerates the aging of internal components, reduces the overall lifespan of the charging station, and increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a waterproof charging pile, aiming to improve the problem that existing charging piles cannot be waterproofed during use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a waterproof charging pile, comprising a shell, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the shell, support columns fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the shell, a control box fixedly connected inside the shell, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the right side of the control box, a storage wheel rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft, a charging cable sleeved on the outer side of the storage wheel, a charging head fixedly connected to the front side of the charging cable, a locking block fixedly connected to the right side of the inside of the shell, a protective shell fixedly connected to the inside of the shell, a worm gear rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, a worm rotatably connected to the inside of the protective shell, and a crank fixedly connected to the front side of the worm.

A trapezoidal fixing block two is fixedly connected to the middle of the metal plate. A rotating shaft five is fixedly connected to the middle of the trapezoidal fixing block two. A connecting rod two is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating shaft five. As a further description of the above technical solution: The charging head is snapped into the inner wall of the card block; As a further description of the above technical solution: Both the worm gear and the worm are rotatably connected inside the protective shell; As a further description of the above technical solution: The outer side of the worm gear is meshed with the outer side of the worm. As a further description of the above technical solution: The second support column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the outer side of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0007] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the air pump starts and drives the slide and the second rotating shaft to move horizontally. At the same time, the first trapezoidal fixing block drives the metal plate to complete the folding action. With the fifth rotating shaft and the first trapezoidal fixing block fixed on the same side, the metal plate is horizontally fixed inside the shell, so that a waterproof baffle is formed simultaneously during the opening process, effectively achieving the protective effect of preventing rainwater from entering.
[0008] 2. In this utility model, the forward and reverse rotation of the crank handle drives the charging cable to be retracted and the position of the charging head to be adjusted. With the help of the locking block to position and fix the charging head, the length of the charging head can be freely adjusted and the charging cable can be quickly stored. While saving the internal space of the charging pile, it effectively prevents the charging cable from getting tangled and improves the convenience of charging operation. Attached Figure Description
