Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging pile equipment technology, specifically to a DC charging pile. Background Technology

[0002] The number of electric vehicles worldwide is increasing rapidly, leading to a significant increase in demand for charging infrastructure. Charging stations, as essential supporting infrastructure for the development of electric vehicles, have significant social and economic benefits. DC charging stations for electric vehicles are mainly used in public charging stations. Installing charging stations with a certain pressure in such public places places high demands on public safety, environmental integration, human-machine interaction, and ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0003] A utility model patent with publication number CN217672222U discloses a dual-gun DC charging pile housing using a sheet metal structure, which is welded as a whole. The charging pile has three openable door sections: a front cabinet door and two side cabinet doors. It also features obtuse-angle connections at several points, including the side panel folds, cable fixing plates and cable clamp bases, and the charging gun holder and cable rack. However, while the two side cabinet doors facilitate airflow to remove heat, they cannot actively expel heat, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency. The main cabinet frame door has grid notches, causing heat to be evenly distributed throughout the cabinet during airflow, leading to overheating of the wiring and affecting usability. Furthermore, the side doors open from the outside, reducing overall safety and increasing the number of limit switches required, making the door control procedures and management more complex.

Electrical components (not shown in the figure) connected to a power source are disposed in the rear chamber. The air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5 are respectively hinged and can be opened and closed on both sides of the cabinet frame 1 to enable opening and closing of the rear chamber and heat dissipation. Both the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5 are provided with internal unlocking mechanisms that can be opened and closed to the partition assembly 2. An exhaust fan (not shown in the figure) is disposed on the air outlet side cabinet door 5. The front cabinet door 3 is hinged and can be opened and closed on the front side of the cabinet frame 1 to enable opening and closing of the front chamber 1.1. An external unlocking assembly 6 is disposed on the front cabinet door 3. When inspection and maintenance are required, the front cabinet door 3 is opened using the external unlocking component 6. Internal unlocking mechanisms, which connect to the partition assembly 2, are installed on both the air inlet side door 4 and the air outlet side door 5. This means both the air inlet side door 4 and the air outlet side door 5 employ internal unlocking structures, requiring them to be opened from within the cabinet frame 1, significantly improving security. An exhaust fan is installed on the air outlet side door 5, increasing the airflow rate from the air inlet side door 4 to the air outlet side door 5, accelerating the removal of heat from electrical components, and thus improving heat dissipation efficiency.

One end of the limit switch is connected to the power supply, and the other end is connected to the terminal control device. In this embodiment, the limit switch is used to monitor the open and closed status of the front cabinet door 3. When the limit switch transmits the signal that the front cabinet door 3 is open to the terminal control device, the terminal control device issues a stop charging command to avoid charging safety accidents during charging pile inspection and maintenance. After the front cabinet door 3 is open, the operator can push or pull the handle 9 to open or close the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5. Therefore, in this embodiment, the monitoring of the front cabinet door 3, the air inlet side cabinet door 4, and the air outlet side cabinet door 5 can be realized by using only the limit switch of the front cabinet door 3, which greatly reduces the number of limit switches used and simplifies the control procedures and management requirements of the front cabinet door 3, the air inlet side cabinet door 4, and the air outlet side cabinet door 5.

[0028] Handles 9 are provided on both the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5; through holes adapted to the handles 9 are provided on the front partition 2.1 to facilitate the opening and closing of the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5 through the handles 9.

[0029] The cabinet frame 1 includes a frame body and an outer panel disposed on the outside of the frame body; the outer panel is an integral bent outer panel, which is adapted to the outer periphery of the frame body, thereby achieving protection of the frame body and its interior.

[0030] The DC charging pile also includes a charging gun holder 10; the charging gun holder 10 is provided on both sides of the cabinet frame 1; the charging gun holder 10 is connected to electrical components.

[0031] The DC charging pile also includes a base 11; the base 11 is located at the bottom of the cabinet frame 1; multiple through holes are provided on the base 11 to facilitate heat dissipation and prevent water accumulation at the bottom of the cabinet frame 1.

[0032] When the DC charging pile described in this embodiment needs to be inspected and maintained, the front cabinet door 3 is opened by the external unlocking component 6. The internal unlocking is provided on both the air inlet cabinet door 4 and the air outlet cabinet door 5, which can be opened and closed by the partition component 2. That is, both the air inlet cabinet door 4 and the air outlet cabinet door 5 adopt the internal unlocking structure, which needs to be opened from inside the cabinet frame 1, greatly improving the safety. After the front cabinet door 3 is opened, the operator can push or pull the handle 9 to open or close the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5. In this embodiment, the monitoring of the front cabinet door 3, the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5 can be realized by using the limit switch of the front cabinet door 3, which greatly reduces the number of limit switches used and simplifies the control procedures and management requirements of the front cabinet door 3, the air inlet side cabinet door 4 and the air outlet side cabinet door 5.

[0033] The DC charging pile described in this embodiment has high heat dissipation efficiency, and its principle is as follows: An exhaust fan is installed on the air outlet side cabinet door 5, which increases the air flow rate from the air inlet side cabinet door 4 to the air outlet side cabinet door 5, accelerates the removal of heat from the electrical components, and thus improves the heat removal efficiency. The partition assembly 2 divides the cabinet frame 1 into a front chamber 1.1, a rear upper chamber 1.2, and a rear lower chamber 1.3. Electrical components that are prone to generating heat are placed in the rear upper chamber 1.2. The heat generated during their operation is concentrated in the rear upper chamber 1.2. With the combined action of the air intake assembly 4.2, the air outlet assembly 5.2, and the exhaust fan, the heat can be quickly discharged, solving the problem of heat distribution throughout the cabinet causing the wiring to overheat and affect its use. Electrical components are also located in the front chamber 1.1 and the rear lower chamber 1.3, but they generate little heat. The heat dissipation requirements of the electrical circuits of the components can be met by the spatial structure inside the cabinet and the heat dissipation through conduction with the air in the space. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the air intake assembly 4.2 and the air exhaust assembly 5.2 for heat dissipation.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
