The rain is raging, how can the charging pile be "waterproof"?

author:Huayuan system

Friends in the south, have you been immersed in the continuous rainy season recently, as if the sky has opened the "infinite loop" mode, and the rain has become a constant melody every day? As we all know, the rainy season is always accompanied by continuous rain, abundant rainfall and high humidity, which often lasts for several weeks, causing many inconveniences to people's lives.

However, in such weather, should we also consider the charging piles that silently serve us? Will they survive the rainy season? For charging station operators, this is undoubtedly a question worth pondering.

During the rainy season, charging piles face no small challenges. First of all, the continuous rainfall may cause damage to the circuit system of the charging station, causing equipment failure or short circuit. Secondly, the high humidity environment is easy to rust the metal parts inside the charging pile, which will affect its service life. In addition, rainwater may also seep into the interior through the gaps or interfaces of the charging pile, causing equipment damage and even causing safety accidents.

So, how do we ensure the safe and stable operation of charging piles during the rainy season?

First of all, starting from the design and production of the charging pile, waterproof materials and waterproof design are used to ensure that the equipment can work normally in the rainy environment. At the same time, waterproof seals are set at the interface and gaps of the charging pile to prevent rainwater from seeping in.

Secondly, strengthen the daily maintenance and inspection of charging piles. Regularly check the waterproof performance of the charging pile, and fix the problem in time. At the same time, for the old charging pile, it is necessary to update it in time to ensure the safety and stability of the equipment.

In addition, there are also measures that can be taken by charging station operators to reduce the impact of the rainy season on charging piles. For example, set up a rain shelter or build a rainproof facility around the charging pile to reduce the direct flushing of the equipment by rainwater. At the same time, strengthen the construction of the drainage system in the charging station yard to ensure that the rainwater can be discharged in time to avoid damage to the charging pile.

Of course, in addition to the above measures, we can also improve the waterproof performance of charging piles through scientific and technological means. For example, the intelligent monitoring system is used to monitor and warn the charging pile in real time, and take timely measures to deal with abnormal situations once they are found. At the same time, the Internet of Things technology is used to realize the remote management and control of charging piles to improve the management efficiency and safety of equipment.

In short, in the rainy season, we need to pay more attention to the safety and stability of charging piles. By taking a series of measures to ensure the normal operation of the equipment in the rainy environment, it provides more convenient and safe charging services for electric vehicle users. At the same time, it is also hoped that the charging station operators can strengthen the daily maintenance and inspection of equipment to ensure that the charging piles can survive the rainy season unharmed.

On rainy days, the "waterproof test" of the charging pile!

In the rainy season, the humid air and continuous rain have brought severe tests to the charging pile. However, modern charging piles are designed with the complex environment of outdoor use in mind, and most of them have IP protection levels, like a layer of invisible "raincoat" to effectively resist the invasion of rain.

The dustproof and waterproof capability is marked as "IPXX", where the first X represents the dustproof level and the second X represents the waterproof level. This means that the charging station is not only effectively protected against dust, but also against splashing water from all directions. Most of the charging piles on the market have reached the protection level of IP54 or higher, providing safe and reliable charging guarantee for electric vehicle users.

However, the protection level is only the basic guarantee for the selection of charging piles, and the performance in practical applications is more important. In order to further improve the waterproof ability of charging piles, many charging station operators will also set up sheltering facilities such as canopies to provide additional protection for charging piles.

In the face of the challenges of the rainy season, if the charging pile unfortunately "stops", how should operators respond? First of all, they need to inspect each pile equipment to confirm the damage under the premise of ensuring safety. At the same time, other supporting facilities in the station yard also need to be fully inspected to ensure their normal operation.

If the operator has purchased insurance in advance, then they should promptly report to the insurance agency to deal with the relevant losses. At present, a variety of insurance schemes have been launched in the market for the operation of charging stations, including property insurance, product insurance, site insurance, public liability insurance, etc. These insurance solutions provide comprehensive coverage for charging stations, allowing operators to reduce losses in the face of force majeure.

When using charging piles during the rainy season, users also need to pay attention to some safety precautions. Although electric vehicles, charging cables and charging piles are waterproof, it is still recommended to charge at a charging station with some protective equipment in bad weather or when lightning and thunder are roaring. When choosing a charging location, you should choose a place to park on higher ground to avoid the battery being soaked in water. At the same time, before charging, you need to make sure that there is no stagnant water in the charging gun and the charging port of the vehicle, and if there is stagnant water, it needs to be wiped clean before charging.

During the charging process, users also need to pay attention to protecting the vehicle's charging port to avoid prolonged exposure. When inserting and unplugging the charging cable, make sure that the muzzle of the gun is facing down to prevent rain from splashing into the tip. When charging during a thunderstorm, you should try to avoid charging in an open place to prevent lightning from causing damage to the device.

After the charging is completed, the user should not pull out the gun head directly, but should first carry out the settlement operation to make the charging pile power off and then pull out the gun. This avoids electrification during the gun drawing. At the same time, the tip of the gun should be put back in place and not littered. If you have any other questions, you should call the customer service number or contact the operator in time to deal with it.

In short, the rainy season is a "waterproof test" for charging piles. By purchasing charging piles with high protection levels, strengthening the construction of supporting facilities for charging stations, purchasing relevant insurance, and paying attention to safety precautions, we can ensure the safe and stable operation of charging piles in the rainy season, and provide more convenient and safe charging services for electric vehicle users.
