Abstract

A charging post controller with various functional modules connected by a PCB, and a charging post thereof. The controller includes a monitoring unit ( 1 ), a direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) and a mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ), wherein the monitoring unit ( 1 ) comprises a PCB ( 11 ) and an electronic circuit forming electrically connected functional modules ( 4 ), and the functional modules ( 4 ) are mounted on the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ), to form a laminated arrangement structure among the monitoring unit ( 1 ), the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) and the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ). A charging post using the controller has a relatively high degree of integration, relatively small overall volume and relatively low comprehensive cost, and is relatively easily promoted and applied.

Claims (18)

1. A charging post controller with various functional modules connected by means of a PCB, comprising a monitoring unit ( 1 ), a direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) and a mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ) which are associated with each other, the monitoring unit ( 1 ) comprising functional modules ( 4 ) formed by combining a PCB ( 11 ) and an electronic circuit, some or all of the functional modules having no independent shells and being mounted on the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ), such that a laminated arrangement structure is formed between the monitoring unit ( 1 ), the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) and the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ), the functional modules ( 4 ) being electrically connected by the PCB ( 11 ),

wherein the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ) comprises an element unit ( 32 ), a bracket ( 31 ) and a protective shell ( 36 ), and

the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ) comprises at least one rotating hinge ( 34 ) which is provided between the monitoring unit ( 1 ) and the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ), the monitoring unit ( 1 ) rotating relative to the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) when the rotating hinge ( 34 ) rotates.

2. The charging post controller of claim 1 , wherein the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) comprises unit modules ( 5 ) connected with copper bars, each of the unit modules ( 5 ) being mounted on a face or two faces of the monitoring unit ( 1 ).

3. The charging post controller of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring unit ( 1 ) comprises a main control module ( 41 ) and/or an insulation detection module ( 42 ) and/or a voltage transmission module ( 43 ) and/or a control power module ( 44 ) and/or a BMS power module ( 45 ) of a one-path or multi-path charging gun ( 7 ), the functional modules ( 4 ) being associated to form an integrated monitoring unit ( 1 ).

4. The charging post controller of claim 3 , wherein the monitoring unit ( 1 ) has an interface connected with an external energy metering module ( 46 ).

5. The charging post controller of claim 3 , wherein the monitoring unit ( 1 ) internally includes an energy metering module ( 46 ).

6. The charging post controller of claim 1 , wherein the functional modules ( 4 ) of the monitoring unit ( 1 ) are provided on the PCB and one or more additional PCBs ( 11 ).

7. The charging post controller of claim 6 , wherein the monitoring unit ( 1 ) is further provided with a wiring terminal ( 12 ) connected with a charging gun control loop and/or a charging direct-current module and/or an operation displaying unit.

8. The charging post controller of claim 6 , wherein the PCB and one or more additional PCBs ( 11 ) are combined and connected to form an integrated monitoring unit ( 1 ).

9. The charging post controller of claim 1 , wherein the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) comprises a positive component comprising at least one positive path ( 21 ) for connecting a charging module positive electrode and a power consumption module positive electrode and a negative component comprising at least one positive path ( 22 ) for connecting a charging module negative electrode and a power module negative electrode.

10. The charging post controller of claim 9 , wherein the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ) comprises a disconnect unit ( 51 ) and/or a current detection unit ( 52 ) and/or an over-current protection unit ( 53 ) on the positive path ( 21 ) and/or the negative path ( 22 ).

11. The charging post controller of claim 9 , wherein when a number of the charging loops is two or more, adjacent positive paths ( 21 ) are electrically connected with a positive power deployment unit, and adjacent negative paths ( 22 ) are electrically connected with a negative power deployment unit.

12. The charging post controller of claim 11 , further comprising retaining members ( 35 ) for limiting rotation of the monitoring unit ( 1 ) relative to the direct-current main loop unit ( 2 ).

13. The charging post controller of claim 12 , wherein the mounting and fixing unit ( 3 ) has a plurality of grounding connectors ( 33 ) thereon.

14. The charging post controller of claim 11 , wherein the positive power deployment unit and the negative power deployment unit match with each other and realize mutual power feeding of corresponding charging loops.

15. The charging post controller of claim 9 , wherein the positive path ( 21 ) and the negative path ( 22 ) are arranged in partitions according to the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes, and the positive path ( 21 ) and the negative path ( 22 ) matching with each other to form one or more charging loops.

16. A charging post comprising a cabinet ( 6 ) provided thereon with at least one charging gun ( 7 ), wherein the cabinet ( 6 ) is provided therein with the charging post controller ( 8 ) of claim 1 .
