Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric bicycle charging equipment, and specifically to an electric bicycle charging station. Background Technology

[0002] With the growing awareness of environmental protection and the increasing severity of urban traffic congestion, electric bicycles have become the preferred mode of transportation for short-distance travel due to their convenience, environmental friendliness, and affordability. As the number of electric bicycles continues to increase, the demand for charging is also becoming more prominent. Currently, numerous electric bicycle charging stations have been widely deployed in the market to meet users' charging needs. However, existing electric bicycle charging stations have significant design flaws, lacking effective rain protection and lighting functions.

[0003] The lack of rain protection exposes charging stations to numerous safety hazards in rainy weather. When rainwater splashes into or seeps into the charging interface or internal circuitry, it can easily cause short circuits, damaging the charging station and rendering it unable to charge electric bicycles properly. In severe cases, short circuits can even cause electrical fires, damaging nearby electric bicycles and buildings, and endangering lives. Furthermore, long-term rainwater erosion accelerates the aging of internal electronic components, shortening the charging station's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] The lack of lighting significantly inconveniences users when using charging stations at night or in dimly lit environments. Users struggle to clearly see the charging station's interface, the location of the charging ports, and the charging status of their electric bicycles, leading to operational difficulties and potentially damaging the charging station or bicycle due to misoperation. Furthermore, insufficient lighting poses safety risks to users in the charging area, increasing the risk of collisions, falls, and other accidents.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-3 An electric bicycle charging station provided in this application embodiment includes: a housing 100, a support frame 200, a battery 300, a charging component 400, and a light strip 500.

[0038] The outer casing 100 includes: a bottom shell 101 and a cover plate 102. The bottom shell 101 includes: a column 1011 and a base plate 1012. The base plate 1012 extends outward from the top of the column 1011. The cover plate 102 covers the upper side of the base plate 1012. The light strip 500 is disposed on the outer periphery of the cover plate 102 and is electrically connected to the battery 300.

[0039] The support frame 200 includes: an upright frame 201 and a horizontal frame 202. The upright frame 201 is disposed inside the column 1011. The horizontal frame 202 is located between the base plate 1012 and the cover plate 102 and is connected to the top of the upright frame 201. The battery 300 is disposed on the upright frame 201.

[0040] The charging assembly 400 includes a winding mechanism 401, a cable 402, and a charging connector 403. The winding mechanism 401 is mounted on the horizontal frame 202. One end of the cable 402 is connected to the winding mechanism 401, and the other end is wound around the horizontal frame 202 and connected to the charging connector 403. A through hole is provided on the base plate 1012. The winding mechanism 401 is used to drive the cable 402 to be stored between the base plate 1012 and the cover plate 102 or to be lowered to the outside of the base plate 1012. The cable 402 is electrically connected to the battery 300.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 101, cover plate 102, and cover plate 102 together define an installation space. The support frame 200 is disposed within this installation space, so that the entire shell 100 effectively protects the equipment mounted on the support frame 200. This effectively prevents rainwater from splashing into or seeping into the equipment, causing short circuits, equipment damage, or electrical fires, thus effectively extending the service life of the equipment. A light strip 500 is provided on the outer periphery of the cover plate 102. The light strip 500 can be turned on in the dark or in low light conditions to provide illumination for the user and prevent dangerous accidents such as falls caused by insufficient light. In addition, the winding mechanism 401 can drive the cable 402 to be wound up, so as to lower the cable 402 and the charging connector 403 to the bottom plate 1012 for the user to charge, or to store the cable 402 and the charging connector 403 in the installation space, providing protection for the cable 402 and the charging connector 403, preventing rainwater from splashing into or seeping into the cable 402 and the charging connector 403, causing short circuits and other problems that could damage the equipment.

[0042] It is worth noting that the cover plate 102 of this application is preferably made of transparent acrylic material so that the light emitted by the light strip 500 can fully illuminate the surrounding environment and ensure sufficient light.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 To utilize abundant solar energy resources, in some embodiments, the electric bicycle charging station further includes a photovoltaic panel 700 and a photovoltaic inverter 800. The photovoltaic panel 700 is disposed on the top of the cover plate 102, and the photovoltaic inverter 800 is disposed on the support frame 201. The photovoltaic panel 700 and the photovoltaic inverter 800 are electrically connected, and the photovoltaic inverter 800 is electrically connected to the battery 300. The photovoltaic inverter 800 converts the solar energy absorbed by the photovoltaic panel 700 into electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the battery 300 to charge the battery 300. Furthermore, by storing the energy in the battery 300, the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 700 can be converted into usable energy, improving the overall utilization rate of solar energy.

[0044] Please see Figure 6In some embodiments, the electric bicycle charging station further includes a mounting bracket 900, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the cover plate 102, and the photovoltaic panel 700 is mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 900. This arrangement has two advantages: First, the photovoltaic panel 700 itself has a certain weight. If it were directly fixed to the cover plate 102, the concentrated weight might cause the cover plate 102 to deform or crack, leading to water leakage. The mounting bracket 900, by distributing the load, reduces direct pressure on the surface of the cover plate 102, protecting it. Second, the photovoltaic panel 700 generates heat by absorbing solar energy during operation, and increased temperature leads to decreased power generation efficiency. After the mounting bracket 900 supports the photovoltaic panel 700, a natural ventilation channel is formed at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 700, allowing heat to be carried away through air convection, thus lowering the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panel 700. This not only maintains high-efficiency power generation but also extends its service life.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the electric bicycle charging station further includes a photosensor 600, which is disposed on the cover plate 102 and electrically connected to the battery 300. This application uses the photosensor 600 to detect ambient light intensity, thereby controlling the battery 300 to supply power to the light strip 500 for illumination. This effectively saves energy and avoids resource waste caused by prolonged operation of the light strip 500.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the winding mechanism 401 includes: a motor (not shown in the drawings) and a roller 4011. The motor is mounted on the horizontal frame 202 and is electrically connected to the battery 300. The roller 4011 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor and is rotatably connected to the horizontal frame 202. One end of the cable 402 is fixedly connected to the roller 4011, and the other end is sequentially wound around the roller 4011, the horizontal frame 202, and connected to the charging connector 403. When charging is required, the motor is started, causing the roller 4011 to rotate clockwise and gradually lower the cable 402 until the charging connector 403 is a certain distance from the ground. The charging device is then connected to the charging connector 403. After charging is completed, the motor is started, causing the roller 4011 to rotate counterclockwise and gradually wind the cable 402 until the charging connector 403 is stored inside the housing 100. This design allows the charging connector 403 to be stored inside the housing 100 when charging is not needed, preventing accidental electric shock or other safety accidents caused by user contact, and also preventing damage to the charging connector 403 caused by rain splashes.

[0047] It is worth noting that when charging is required, this application preferably uses a motor to lower the charging connector 403 to a distance of 0.6 meters from the ground. If the charging connector 403 is lowered directly to the ground, rainwater can easily enter the charging connector 403, causing a leakage accident. The "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" stipulates that the saddle height of an electric bicycle shall not be less than 0.635 meters. Therefore, this application sets the minimum height of the charging connector 403 to 0.6 meters, which can better charge the electric bicycle, shorten the connection distance, and also has a certain waterproof effect.

[0048] To accommodate diverse user charging needs, in some embodiments, the electric bicycle charging station further includes a charging cabinet 1000. The upright 1011 has an opening 10111, the charging cabinet 1000 is located at the opening 10111, and the charging cabinet 1000 is fixedly connected to the upright 201. The charging cabinet 1000 has a door, which is rotatably connected to the charging cabinet 1000. The charging cabinet 1000 contains a charging interface and is electrically connected to the battery 300. The charging cabinet 1000 has multiple independent charging compartments, each equipped with different types of charging interfaces to accommodate the charging needs of different devices and improve the ease of use of the device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the electric bicycle charging station further includes a controller 1100 and a button. A through hole 10112 is provided on the column 1011. The button and the controller 1100 are respectively mounted on the frame 201, with the button protruding from the through hole 10112. The controller 1100 is electrically connected to both the button and the battery 300. When a user needs to charge the electric bicycle using the charging connector 403, pressing the button causes the controller 1100 to automatically control the winding mechanism 401 to lower the charging connector 403 to a certain height, facilitating charging. After charging is complete, the user simply presses the button again, and the controller 1100 automatically controls the winding mechanism 401 to retract the charging connector 403 into the housing 100, preventing accidental electric shock and improving the safety of the device.

[0050] Because rainwater accumulates in the recessed or flat areas at the top of the cover plate 102, forming puddles, the weight of the accumulated water increases significantly with the amount of water, exceeding the load-bearing limit of the cover plate 102. This can cause the cover plate 102 to deform, bend, or even collapse entirely. Therefore, in some embodiments, the cover plate 102 is provided with a drainage channel 1021 that extends through its upper and lower top surfaces, and the drainage channel 1021 protrudes from the bottom plate 1012. Rainwater flows to the ground promptly through the drainage channel 1021, ensuring that no rainwater accumulates on the top of the cover plate 102, further guaranteeing the safety of the device.

[0051] In some embodiments, the top surface of the cover plate 102 is gradually inclined downward from the center to the outer periphery. The inclined top surface facilitates the rapid collection of rainwater into the drainage channel 1021, which then falls to the ground, further preventing rainwater from accumulating on the top of the cover plate 102.

[0052] In summary, the electric bicycle charging station provided in this embodiment has both lighting and rain protection functions. The device as a whole has high safety and convenience, while the tree-shaped outer shell 100 has high aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the device incorporates photovoltaic power generation technology, which can maximize the utilization of solar energy resources, making it energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
