Abstract

A wiper ring provided includes a ring body and a number of brushes. The ring body has an outer side surface and an inner side surface opposite to the outer side surface. The wiper ring includes a mounting portion located on the outer side surface. The ring body is mounted to a cable through-hole of a charging pile via the mounting portion. The number of brushes are arranged on the inner side surface. Each of the number of brushes has an end fixed to the inner side surface of the ring body and the other end, opposite to the end, faces a center of the ring body or a defined point of the ring body. The number of brushes cooperatively form a through-hole having a diameter less than that of the cable for allowing a cable to pass through. A charging pile using same is also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wiper ring configured for being applied in a charging pile, the wiper ring comprising:
a ring body having a radial outer side surface and a radial inner side surface, the radial inner surface being opposite from the radial outer side surface in a radial direction of the ring body;
a mounting portion located on the radial outer side surface, the mounting portion being configured for coupling the wiper ring to the charging pile; and
a plurality of brushes arranged on the radial inner side surface of the ring body, each of the plurality of brushes having an end fixed to the radial inner side surface of the ring body and the other end, opposite to the end, facing a center of the ring body or a defined point of the ring body;
wherein the plurality of brushes cooperatively form a through-hole having a diameter for allowing a cable of the charging pile to pass through, and the diameter of the through-hole is less than that of the cable; and
wherein the mounting portion is a ring groove defined along a circumferential periphery of the radial outer side surface, the ring groove is plugged into by a sidewall of the cable through-hole.

2. The wiper ring of claim 1 , wherein a length of each brush is less than a distance between the radial inner side surface of the ring body and the center of the ring body or the defined point of the ring body.

3. The wiper ring of claim 1 , wherein the ring body defines a plurality of expansion grooves thereon close to the radial inner side surface, the plurality of expansion grooves both face the center of the ring body or the defined point of the ring body.

4. The wiper ring of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of expansion grooves have two width sizes, each narrow expansion groove locates between each two wider expansion grooves.

5. The wiper ring of claim 1 , wherein the ring body and the plurality of brushes are both made of flexible materials.

6. A charging pile comprising:
a base plate;
a charging pile body mounted on the base plate, a cable through-hole being defined on the charging pile body;
a winder received in the charging pile body and rotatably coupled to the charging pile body;
a cable, one end of the cable received in the charging pile body and twining around the winder, and the other end of the cable passing through the cable through-hole to expose out of the charging pile body; and
a wiper ring, comprising:
a ring body having a radial outer side surface and a radial inner side surface, the radial inner surface being opposite from the radial outer side surface in a radial direction of the ring body;
a mounting portion located on the radial outer side surface, the ring body being mounted to the cable through-hole of the charging pile via the mounting portion; and
a plurality of brushes arranged on the radial inner side surface of the ring body, each of the plurality of brushes having an end fixed to the radial inner side surface of the ring body, and the other end, opposite to the end, facing a center of the ring body or a defined point of the ring body;

wherein the plurality of brushes cooperatively form a through-hole having a diameter for allowing the cable to pass through, and the diameter of the through-hole is less than that of the cable; and
wherein the mounting portion is a ring groove defined along a circumferential periphery of the radial outer side surface, the ring groove is plugged into by a sidewall of the cable through-hole.

7. The charging pile of claim 6 , wherein a length of each brush is less than a distance between the radial inner side surface of the ring body and the center of the ring body or the defined point of the ring body.

8. The charging pile of claim 6 , wherein the ring body defines a plurality of expansion grooves thereon close to the radial inner side surface, the plurality of expansion grooves face the center of the ring body or the defined point of the ring body.

9. The wiper ring of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of expansion grooves have two width sizes, each narrow expansion groove locates between each two wider expansion grooves.

10. The charging pile of claim 6 , wherein the ring body and the plurality of brushes are both made of flexible materials.
