Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle charging pile technology, specifically to a high-efficiency waterproof electric vehicle charging pile. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations, as an important supporting facility, are being used more and more widely. Charging stations are usually fixed on the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential parking lots. They can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent No. CN219329448U discloses an electric vehicle charging pile; the electric vehicle charging pile includes a base plate, a shell, a sensing component, and multiple sockets; the multiple sockets are all fixed on the base plate, the shell covers the multiple sockets, and each of the multiple sockets includes a socket body and a conductive sheet disposed within the socket body. The surface of the shell is provided with multiple holes corresponding to the positions of the conductive sheets. The sensing component is fixedly disposed on the socket and corresponds to the position of the conductive sheet. By setting the sensing component in the electric vehicle charging pile, it is possible to detect in a timely manner whether there is a plug in the corresponding socket, and to promptly remind the user when the electric vehicle stops charging because the plug is loose or unplugged, effectively avoiding unnecessary losses.
[0004] Based on the above information, when existing electric vehicle charging stations are used in outdoor environments, the charging plugs are usually exposed. In heavy rain, the charging station's plug is easily splashed with rainwater, which may not only cause leakage and threaten the user's personal safety, but also damage the electronic components inside the charging station and shorten its service life. Therefore, we propose a highly efficient waterproof electric vehicle charging station. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a highly efficient waterproof electric vehicle charging station to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when existing electric vehicle charging stations are used in outdoor open-air environments, the charging plug is usually exposed. In heavy rain, the charging station's socket is easily splashed with rainwater, which may not only cause leakage and threaten the user's personal safety, but also damage the electronic components inside the charging station and shorten its service life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency waterproof electric vehicle charging pile, comprising a charging pile body, a charging socket provided on the outer wall of the charging pile body, a waterproof mechanism provided on the outer wall of the charging pile body, and the waterproof mechanism including a shield fixedly installed on the top of the charging pile body, a protective cover rotatably installed on the outer wall of the charging pile body, and a through groove and heat dissipation holes provided on the outer wall of the protective cover, and a warning mechanism for reminding to close the protective cover on the top of the charging pile body.
[0007] Furthermore, the shield has an inverted U-shaped cross-section, covers the upper part of the charging pile body, and has a length greater than the upper part of the charging pile body. The ends of the shield are designed with a bevel.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the shield is provided with a flow guide groove. The cross-section of the flow guide groove is designed in an inverted U-shape, and the flow guide grooves are distributed at equal intervals, and the bottom of the flow guide groove is designed to be open.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective cover covers the charging socket and is made of transparent material. The through groove is located at the bottom of the protective cover and is designed to fit one end of the charging socket with an opening for the plug wire to pass through. The bottom of the protective cover is provided with a protrusion, which is located on the side of the protective cover away from the charging socket.
[0010] Furthermore, the heat dissipation holes have a parallelogram cross-section and are located on both sides of the outer wall of the protective cover, and are distributed at equal intervals.
[0011] Furthermore, the warning mechanism includes a warning light fixedly installed on the top of the shield, and a first wire is provided at the bottom of the warning light, and a first conductive sheet is fixedly installed at the end of the first wire. A second conductive sheet and a connecting guide sheet are fixedly installed inside the charging pile body.
[0012] Furthermore, the first conductive sheet is fixedly installed inside the charging pile body, and the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are symmetrically arranged. The end of the second conductive sheet is fixedly connected to a second wire, and the second wire is connected to the power supply. The connecting guide is arranged parallel to the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet, and the length of the connecting guide is greater than the distance between the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet.
[0013] Furthermore, a push rod is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting guide plate away from the first and second conductive plates, and a return spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod. The push rod has a T-shaped cross-section, and the end of the push rod away from the connecting guide plate is located outside the charging pile body. A first magnetic block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shield, and a second magnetic block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective cover. When the protective cover is open, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other. When the protective cover is open, the outer wall of the end of the protective cover fits against the outer wall of the end of the push rod.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This highly efficient waterproof electric vehicle charging station significantly improves its waterproof performance through a unique waterproof mechanism. The shield effectively covers the upper part of the charging station body, initially blocking rainwater from directly hitting the charging station body. The drainage channels on the outer wall of the shield guide rainwater in an orderly manner, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the shield and overflowing onto the charging station body. The transparent protective cover completely covers the charging socket, preventing rainwater from splashing onto the socket without affecting the observation of the charging status. The through-slot design facilitates the passage of plug wires, ensuring normal charging operation and further preventing rainwater from entering the protective cover, greatly reducing the risk of leakage and equipment damage caused by rainwater.
[0016] 2. The parallelogram-shaped heat dissipation holes on both sides of the outer wall of the protective cover can promote the circulation of air between the inside and outside of the protective cover without affecting waterproofing. This allows the heat generated during charging to be dissipated in a timely manner, avoiding the impact of heat accumulation on the normal operation and service life of the charging pile, thus achieving an effective balance between waterproofing and heat dissipation.
[0017] 3. The warning mechanism effectively reminds users to close the protective cover in a timely manner, further ensuring the waterproof effect. When the protective cover is opened, its outer wall at the end fits against the end of the push rod, pushing the connecting guide plate to move, so that the connecting guide plate simultaneously contacts the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate. At this time, the circuit where the warning light is located is connected, and the warning light illuminates, reminding the user to close the protective cover. When the protective cover is closed, under the action of the return spring, the push rod drives the connecting guide plate to return to its original position, and the connecting guide plate separates from the first and second conductive plates. The warning light goes out, which can reduce the situation where rainwater enters due to the user forgetting to close the protective cover, and improve the reliability and safety of the charging pile.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency waterproof electric vehicle charging pile, including a charging pile body 1, a charging socket 2 provided on the outer wall of the charging pile body 1, a waterproof mechanism provided on the outer wall of the charging pile body 1, and the waterproof mechanism includes a shield 3 fixedly installed on the top of the charging pile body 1, a protective cover 4 rotatably installed on the outer wall of the charging pile body 1, and a through groove 402 and a heat dissipation hole 401 opened on the outer wall of the protective cover 4.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shield 3 has an inverted U-shaped cross-section and covers the upper part of the charging pile body 1. The length of the shield 3 is greater than the upper part of the charging pile body 1. The end of the shield 3 has a sloping design. The outer wall of the shield 3 has a guide groove 301. The guide groove 301 has an inverted U-shaped cross-section and is evenly distributed. The bottom of the guide groove 301 is open.
[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the protective cover 4 covers the charging socket 2, and the protective cover 4 is made of transparent material. The through groove 402 is located at the bottom of the protective cover 4, and the through groove 402 is designed to fit the charging socket 2 with one end open for the plug wire to pass through. The bottom of the protective cover 4 is provided with a protrusion 403, and the protrusion 403 is located on the side of the protective cover 4 away from the charging socket 2. The heat dissipation hole 401 has a parallelogram cross-section, and the heat dissipation hole 401 is opened on both outer walls of the protective cover 4, and the heat dissipation hole 401 is distributed at equal intervals.
[0029] When it rains, the shield 3 can fully cover the upper part of the charging pile body 1, providing initial protection against falling rainwater and preventing it from directly hitting the upper part of the charging pile body 1. Simultaneously, the evenly spaced drainage channels 301 on the outer wall of the shield 3 collect and guide the rainwater to the openings at the bottom of the channels 301, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the shield 3 and overflowing onto the charging pile body 1. During charging, the protective cover is opened by pulling the protrusion 403, the charging plug is inserted into the socket, and then the protective cover is closed to begin charging. The transparent protective cover 4 completely covers the charging socket 2, allowing the user to observe the charging process while also blocking external rain. When water splashes onto the socket, the plug wire passes through the groove 402 at the bottom of the protective cover 4. The groove 402 fits the opening at one end of the charging socket 2, which, while ensuring normal charging operation, further reduces the possibility of rainwater entering the interior of the protective cover 4, thus continuously protecting the charging socket 2 and effectively preventing rainwater intrusion. At the same time, the heat dissipation holes 401 with parallelogram-shaped cross sections on the outer walls of both sides of the protective cover 4 can promote the circulation of air between the inside and outside of the protective cover 4 without affecting waterproofing, and dissipate the heat generated during charging in a timely manner, avoiding the impact of heat accumulation on the normal operation and service life of the charging pile, thus achieving an effective balance between waterproofing and heat dissipation.
[0030] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 and Figure 6Based on Embodiment 1, a warning mechanism is also disclosed, the specific structure of which is as follows: The top of the charging pile body 1 is provided with a warning mechanism for reminding the closing of the protective cover 4. The warning mechanism includes a warning light 5 fixedly installed on the top of the cover 3, and a first wire 501 is provided at the bottom of the warning light 5. A first conductive sheet 502 is fixedly installed at the end of the first wire 501. A second conductive sheet 601 and a connecting guide 7 are fixedly installed inside the charging pile body 1. The first conductive sheet 502 is fixedly installed inside the charging pile body 1, and the first conductive sheet 502 and the second conductive sheet 601 are symmetrically arranged. A second wire 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the second conductive sheet 601, and the second wire 6 is connected to the power supply. The connecting guide 7 is connected to the first conductive sheet 601. The first conductive sheet 502 and the second conductive sheet 601 are arranged in parallel, and the length of the connecting guide 7 is greater than the distance between the first conductive sheet 502 and the second conductive sheet 601. A push rod 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting guide 7 away from the first conductive sheet 502 and the second conductive sheet 601, and a return spring 801 is sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod 8. The push rod 8 has a T-shaped cross section, and the end of the push rod 8 away from the connecting guide 7 is located outside the charging pile body 1. A first magnetic block 302 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shield 3, and a second magnetic block 404 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the protective cover 4. When the protective cover 4 is open, the first magnetic block 302 and the second magnetic block 404 are attracted to each other. When the protective cover 4 is open, the outer wall of the end of the protective cover 4 is in contact with the outer wall of the end of the push rod 8.
[0031] The warning mechanism achieves its warning function through the coordination of mechanical linkage and circuit switching. When the user opens the protective cover 4, the second magnetic block 404 on the outer wall of the protective cover 4 will attract the first magnetic block 302 on the inner wall of the shield 3, keeping the protective cover 4 open. At this time, the outer wall of the end of the protective cover 4 is in contact with the end of the push rod 8 located outside the charging pile body 1, pushing the push rod 8 into the charging pile body 1. The push rod 8 drives the connecting guide plate 7 to move synchronously. Since the length of the connecting guide plate 7 is greater than the distance between the first conductive plate 502 and the second conductive plate 601, the connecting guide plate 7 will move synchronously with the first conductive plate 502 and the second conductive plate 601. When the first conductive plate 502 and the second conductive plate 601, which are symmetrically arranged, come into contact, the circuit where the warning light 5 is located is turned on, and the warning light 5 on the top of the shield 3 lights up, reminding the user to close the protective cover 4. When the user closes the protective cover 4, the protective cover 4 separates from the push rod 8, and the return spring 801 sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod 8 returns to its original deformation, pushing the push rod 8 to move to the outside of the charging pile body 1. The push rod 8 drives the connecting guide plate 7 to reset, and the connecting guide plate 7 separates from the first conductive plate 502 and the second conductive plate 601. The circuit where the warning light 5 is located is disconnected, and the warning light 5 goes out, completing one warning cycle.
