Waterproof Micro Switch In Charging Pile

Industry News

What is a charging pile?

The function of the charging pile is similar to the gas dispenser in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or wall and installed in public buildings (public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.), residential quarters parking lots, or charging stations. It can use various waterproof sealed microswitch; it has levers and terminals to choose from; It can be based on different voltages. The level is for charging various types of electric vehicles.

The input end of the charging pile is directly connected to the AC grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: conventional charging and fast charging. People can use a specific charging card to swipe the card on the human-computer interaction interface provided by the charging pile to perform operations such as the corresponding charging method, charging time, and cost data printing. The charging pile screen can display data such as charging capacity, cost, and time.

How do we classify the types of charging piles?

Installation method classify

According to the installation method, it can be divided into floor-mounted charging piles and wall-mounted charging piles. Floor-standing charging piles are suitable for installation in parking spaces that are not close to the wall. Wall-mounted charging piles are suitable for installation in parking spaces close to the wall.

Installation location classify

According to the installation location, it can be divided into public charging piles and particular charging piles. Public charging piles are built in public parking lots (garages) and parking spaces to provide public charging services for social vehicles. The unique charging pile is the self-owned parking lot (garage) of the construction unit (enterprise), which is used by the internal personnel of the unit (enterprise).

Self-use charging piles are built in personal parking spaces (garages) to provide charging for private users. Charging piles are generally combined with the construction of parking spaces in parking lots (garages). The protection level of charging piles installed outdoors should not be lower than IP54. The protection level of charging piles installed indoors should not be lower than IP32.

The number of charging ports classifies

According to the number of charging ports, it can be divided into one charger and one charger.

The charging method classify

According to the charging method, the charging pile (bolt) can be divided into DC charging pile (bolt), AC charging pile (bolt), and AC/DC integrated charging pile (bolt).

What is the basic principle of charging piles?

The charger consists of a rectifier that can convert the input AC power into DC power and a power converter to adjust the DC power. Insert the plug with the wire into the matching socket on the electric vehicle. Charge.

The charger is equipped with a locking lever to facilitate the insertion and removal of the plug, and the lever can also provide a signal to confirm that it has been locked to ensure safety. The power converter can adjust the DC charging power online according to the communication between the charger and the onboard battery management system. The charger can display the charging voltage, current, amount, and cost.
