This patent application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. CN202220698691.7 filed in China National Intellectual Property Administration on March 28th, 2022 and entitled as “PLUG TERMINAL AND PLUG OF ENERGY STORAGE HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTOR AND ENERGY STORAGE HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTOR”, and claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. CN202220698643.8 filed in China National Intellectual Property Administration on March 28th, 2022 and entitled as “INSERTING FOOLPROOF AND ROTATABLE ENERGY STORAGE HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTOR”, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of energy storage high-voltage connectors, in particular to a plug terminal for a plug of an energy storage high-voltage connector, a plug equipped with the plug terminal and an energy storage high-voltage connector equipped with the plug.
The plug terminal of the existing energy storage high-voltage connector is a 90° special-shaped elbow, which is generally formed by riveting two pipes with different diameters. Specifically, the riveting end of a straight pipe is flattened and a hole is opened, and then the other straight pipe is abutted and riveted with this hole to form a 90° special-shaped elbow. At present, the energy storage high-voltage connector is required to be capable of being charged and discharged quickly. In order to achieve this requirement, the energy storage high-voltage connector needs to be able to carry more current. However, the existing special-shaped elbow is riveted by two pipes. A connection point is formed at the riveted position, which will increase the contact resistance and will result in the problem of high temperature rise after passing through a large current. In addition, two pipes with different diameters need to be purchased separately. The two pipes need to be cut and riveted during production, resulting in high processing cost of a plug terminal.
The anti-contact pointer and the shell of the plug of the existing energy storage high-voltage connector are two separate injection-molded parts, and the anti-contact pointer needs to be assembled to the shell for use. This situation requires high machining accuracy and assembly accuracy of the anti-contact pointer and the shell. The problem of poor concentricity between the anti-contact pointer and the plug terminal due to the fact that it is easy for the anti-contact pointer to loosen often occurs, which leads to the problem that the anti-contact pointer of the plug and the anti-contact finger cap of the socket cannot be aligned and leads to the problem that the insertion is not smooth or even impossible. Moreover, the anti-contact pointer and the shell need to be injection molded twice, which results in the problem of high production cost of the plug. In addition, the plug-in pipe body of the plug terminal and the wiring pipe body are interconnected, which will not prevent water vapor from entering the plug-in pipe body and reaching the wire in the wiring pipe body and will easily lead to the oxidation of the wire conductor.
With the development, the vacant space in the existing cabinet becomes less and less, the limited space has more and more restrictions on wiring, and the requirements are getting higher and higher. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the plug has the function of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes, and it is also necessary to have the function of wiring in different directions after the plug is inserted into the socket. However, the existing energy storage high-voltage connectors are connected in the manner of mutual insertion of shaft hole. Although the connectors can rotate with respect to each other after insertion, the connectors have no function of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes. In order to prevent the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes, the existing energy storage high-voltage connector will be provided with anti-fool structures such as bumps and chutes which are matched with each other on the shaft hole structure inserted into each other, so as to realize the function of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes. However, after the plug is inserted into the socket, the chutes will limit the circumferential movement of the bumps and make the plug unable to rotate. Therefore, the existing energy storage high-voltage connector can only have one of the functions of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes and being able to rotate 360 degrees after being inserted, and cannot meet the requirements of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes and being able to rotate 360 degrees after being inserted at the same time.
One of the objects of the present disclosure is to design a plug terminal, a plug and an energy storage high-voltage connector, solving the problems that after the existing plug terminal is used, the temperature rise is too high after passing through a large current and the processing cost is too high.
The present disclosure is realized by the following technical scheme.
The present disclosure provides a plug terminal, wherein the plug terminal is arranged as a 90° elbow formed by bending the middle section of a single pipe, comprising a plug-in pipe body, a flat pipe section and a wiring pipe body which are connected in sequence; the axis of the plug-in pipe body is intersected with and is perpendicular to the axis of the wiring pipe body; and the flat pipe section is arranged as a continuous flat pipe structure formed by pressing some pipe sections of the single pipe.
When the above arrangement structure is used, the plug terminal is a 90° elbow formed by bending the middle section of a single pipe, wherein the flat pipe section is a continuous flat pipe structure formed by pressing some pipe sections of the single pipe. Compared with the existing plug terminal formed by riveting two types of pipes, the plug terminal is formed by pressing and bending a single pipe, which not only reduces the multi-point connection of the terminal to lower the impedance of the whole plug terminal, so as to solve the problem that the temperature rise is too high after passing through a large current, but also reduces the types of manufacturing materials and assembly times of the plug terminal to reduce the processing cost. At the same time, the structural reliability of the plug terminal can be improved to a certain extent.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the flat pipe section is arranged as a flat pipe structure formed by pressing along the axial direction of the plug-in pipe body.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the flat pipe section is arranged toward the side of the wiring pipe body far from the plug-in pipe body.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the outer diameter of the plug-in pipe body is smaller than that of the wiring pipe body. The inner diameter of the plug-in pipe body is smaller than that of the wiring pipe body.
The present disclosure further provides a plug, comprising a shell and the plug terminal described above, wherein the plug terminal is arranged in the shell.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the shell comprises a plug housing, the plug terminal is arranged in the plug housing, and a plug rotary spring terminal is inserted into the plug-in pipe body.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the plug anti-contact pointer and the plug housing are assembled in a split manner. Specifically, one end of the flat pipe section connected with the plug-in pipe body is provided with a through hole, the axis of the through hole is collinear with the axis of the plug-in pipe body, and a plug anti-contact pointer extending into the plug-in pipe body is inserted into the through hole.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the plug anti-contact pointer and the plug housing are integrally molded. Specifically, a plug anti-contact pointer coaxially arranged with the plug-in pipe body is arranged in the plug-in pipe body, and the peripheral wall of the plug-in pipe body is provided with a piercing hole; the plug anti-contact pointer is fixedly connected with a connecting post extending along the side of the plug anti-contact pointer, the connecting post is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the plug housing through the piercing hole, and the connecting post is integrally molded with the plug anti-contact pointer and the inner wall of the plug housing.
When the above structure is used, the plug anti-contact pointer is integrally molded with the plug housing, so that the concentricity of the plug anti-contact pointer and the plug-in pipe body of the plug terminal can be ensured, and the possibility that the plug anti-contact pointer is loosened due to assembly problems can be eliminated. The smoothness when the plug is inserted into the socket can be maintained for a long time, and the one-time molding process can be reduced, so that the production cost can be reduced.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the plug housing comprises an internal mold and an external mold, the internal mold is sleeved on the plug terminal and is integrally molded therewith, and the external mold is sleeved on the internal mold and is integrally molded therewith; the connecting post is integrally molded with the internal mold.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the plug-in pipe body is provided with two piercing holes distributed in the radial direction, and each of the piercing holes penetrates through the connecting post.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the tail of the plug anti-contact pointer is in sealing connection with the inner wall of the plug terminal to seal off the plug-in pipe body from the wiring pipe body.
When the above structure is used, the gap between the plug-in pipe body of the plug terminal and the wiring pipe body is blocked by the tail of the plug anti-contact pointer, so that the water vapor entering from the plug-in pipe body cannot reach the wiring pipe body through the inside of the plug terminal, resulting in oxidation of the wire conductor.
The present disclosure further provides an energy storage high-voltage connector, comprising a socket and the plug described above, wherein the plug and the socket are detachably inserted together, and the plug terminal installed in the plug is connected with a socket terminal installed in the socket.

In this way, there are no fool-proof structures such as bumps and chutes which are matched with each other at the inserting part of the plug housing and the socket housing. The plug can rotate 360 degrees after being inserted, so as to facilitate wiring in different directions in the cabinet. Fingers are also arranged in a plurality of first through slots arranged in the plug housing, and guide blocks are arranged at the ends of the fingers. Meanwhile, a convex ring arranged on a second plug barrel of the socket housing is provided with second through slots corresponding to the guide blocks one by one, so that the plug housing can only be inserted into the socket housing at a specific angle. Because the number of the second through slots is equal to the number of the first through slots, all the second through slots and all the guide blocks are axially aligned one by one in the circumferential direction. In this way, the plug housing and the socket housing have a fool-proof function, and only by changing the set number and the design angle of the second through slots of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the wrong insertion of the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be effectively prevented. After the plug is inserted to the socket, the axial distance between the convex ring and the guide block is equal to or greater than 0, so that the plug can rotate 360 degrees while having the fool-proof function.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the energy storage high-voltage connector is provided with a negative electrode member and a positive electrode member cooperating with each other, and compared with the positive electrode member, the negative electrode member is provided with a different number of the second through slots and/or is provided with a different angle between two adjacent second through slots.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: the fingers are elastic, the surface of the guide block adjacent to the convex ring is provided as a slope surface, when the plug is pulled out in the axial direction, in the case that the second through slot and the corresponding guide block are mutually staggered in the circumferential direction, the top of the convex ring abuts against the slope surface, so that the fingers bend and deform outward and slide from the top of the convex ring to finally detach the second plug barrel from the jack.
When the above arrangement structure is used, the fingers with elasticity can bend and deform to a certain extent in the radial direction, so that the ends of the fingers can be far from the axis of the jack. Meanwhile, the surface of the guide block adjacent to the convex ring is provided as a slope surface, so that the guide block can slide from the top of the convex ring by jacking the fingers through the convex ring when pulling out the plug. In this way, the plug can be pulled out from all directions without the guide block withdrawing from the corresponding second through slot.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structures are particularly used: one end face of the guide block far from the convex ring and one end face of the convex ring far from the guide block are provided as planes perpendicular to the axis of the jack.
When the above arrangement structure is used, one end face of the guide block far from the convex ring and one end face of the convex ring far from the guide block are provided as planes perpendicular to the axis of the jack, so that the violent insertion of the plug can be effectively prevented, and the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes can be effectively avoided.
Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used: a first plug barrel protruding in the axial direction is arranged in the jack, the plug-in pipe body of the plug terminal is integrally located in the first plug barrel, and the first plug barrel is detachably inserted into the second plug barrel in the axial direction.

The present disclosure has the following advantages and beneficial effects.
In the present disclosure, the plug terminal is a 90° elbow formed by bending the middle section of a single pipe, wherein the flat pipe section is a continuous flat pipe structure formed by pressing some pipe sections of the single pipe. Compared with the existing plug terminal formed by riveting two types of pipes, the plug terminal is formed by pressing and bending a single pipe, which not only reduces the multi-point connection of the terminal to lower the impedance of the whole plug terminal, so as to solve the problem that the temperature rise is too high after passing through a large current, but also reduces the types of manufacturing materials and assembly times of the plug terminal to reduce the processing cost.

Compared with the existing plug terminal formed by riveting two types of pipes, the plug terminal is formed by pressing and bending a single pipe, which not only reduces the multi-point connection of the terminal to lower the impedance of the whole plug terminal, so as to solve the problem that the temperature rise is too high after passing through a large current, but also reduces the types of manufacturing materials and assembly times of the plug terminal to reduce the processing cost. At the same time, the structural reliability of the plug terminal can be improved to a certain extent.

The plug nut 8 is sleeved on the plug wire clamping cap 7, and the top of the plug nut is screwed with the bottom of the plug housing 1 to fasten the wiring pipe body 3c, the plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6 and the plug wire clamping cap 7 together. The plug housing 1 is sleeved with a plug waterproof ring 10 on a part of the structure of the plug-in pipe body 3a. A plug rotary spring terminal 9 is inserted into the plug-in pipe body 3a. A plug anti-contact pointer 2 extending into the plug-in pipe body 3a is inserted into the plug-in pipe body 3a through a through hole 3d. The plug anti-contact pointer 2 passes through the plug rotary spring terminal 9 without protruding out of the plug housing 1. The plug button 4 is movably inserted into the plug housing 1. A plug spring 5 for resetting the plug button 4 is sleeved on the plug button 4. When the plug button 4 is used in cooperation with the plug spring 5, the plug can be locked with the socket when the plug is connected with the socket.
This embodiment further provides a plug on the basis of the above embodiment 1 or 2. The following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, the plug comprises the plug terminal in any of the above embodiments, wherein the plug terminal used by the plug in this embodiment is of a second basic structure.
As shown in
The plug anti-contact pointer 2 and the plug housing 1 are integrally molded by injection molding.
Specifically, a cavity 1a1 is provided inside the plug housing 1. The plug-in pipe body 3a, the flat pipe section 3b and the upper half section of the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3 are integrally arranged in the cavity. A plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6 is sleeved on the lower half section of the wiring pipe body 3c. A plug wire clamping cap 7 is sleeved on the plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6. The plug nut 8 is sleeved on the plug wire clamping cap 7, and the top of the plug nut is screwed with the bottom of the plug housing 1 to fasten the wiring pipe body 3c, the plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6 and the plug wire clamping cap 7 together. The plug housing 1 is sleeved with a plug waterproof ring 10 on a part of the structure of the plug-in pipe body 3a. A plug rotary spring terminal 9 is inserted into the plug-in pipe body 3a. A plug anti-contact pointer 2 coaxially arranged with the plug-in pipe body 3a is arranged in the plug-in pipe body 3a, and the peripheral wall of the plug-in pipe body 3a is provided with a plurality of circular piercing holes 3a1. At the same time, the plug anti-contact pointer 2 is fixedly connected with a cylindrical connecting post 2a extending laterally along the radial direction in the position near the tail of the plug anti-contact pointer. The connecting post 2a is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the cavity of the plug housing 1 after passing through the piercing holes 3a1 in the radial direction. The connecting post 2a is integrally molded with the plug anti-contact pointer 2 and the inner wall of the cavity of the plug housing 1. A piercing hole 3a1 penetrate through a connecting post 2a correspondingly. The plug anti-contact pointer 2 passes through the plug rotary spring terminal 9 without protruding out of the plug housing 1. The plug button 4 is movably inserted into the plug housing 1. A plug spring 5 for resetting the plug button 4 is sleeved on the plug button 4. When the plug button 4 is used in cooperation with the plug spring 5, the plug can be locked with the socket when the plug is connected with the socket.
Preferably, two piercing holes 3a1 are provided in the plug-in pipe body 3a, and the two piercing holes 3a1 are symmetrically distributed along the radial direction of the plug-in pipe body 3a.
The molding process of the plug anti-contact pointer 2 and the plug housing 1 is as follows:
Because the plug anti-contact pointer 2 is integrally molded with the plug housing 1, during molding, the rubber material can flow into the part where the plug-in pipe body 3a is connected with the flat pipe section 3b in the plug terminal 3 to form the tail 2b of the plug anti-contact pointer 2, so that the tail 2b is hermetically connected with the inner wall of the plug terminal 3 to seal off the plug-in pipe body 3a from the wiring pipe body 3c. In this way, even if the inner wall of the flat pipe section 3b uses a misfitting flattened structure, or uses a flattened structure that fits the inner wall, but there is a gap through which airflow can pass, the inner wall can be blocked by the tail 2b, thus ensuring the non-connectivity between both ends of the plug terminal 3.
In this embodiment, the plug anti-contact pointer 2 and the plug housing 1 are integrally molded by injection molding, so that the concentricity of the plug anti-contact pointer 2 and the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 can be ensured, and the possibility that the plug anti-contact pointer 2 is loosened due to assembly problems can be eliminated. The smoothness when the plug is inserted into the socket can be maintained for a long time, and the one-time molding process can be reduced, so that the production cost can be reduced. The gap between the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 and the wiring pipe body 3c is blocked by the tail 2b of the plug anti-contact pointer 2, so that the water vapor entering from the plug-in pipe body 3a cannot reach the wiring pipe body 3c through the inside of the plug terminal 3, resulting in oxidation of the wire conductor.

This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment 6. Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, the energy storage high-voltage connector has both the function of preventing the wrong insertion of the positive and negative electrodes and the function of rotating 360 degrees after being inserted, as shown in
The energy storage high-voltage connector comprises a plug and a socket which are detachably inserted together. After the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug terminal 3 installed in the plug is connected with the socket terminal 13 installed in the socket. One end of the plug inserted into the socket is the inserting end. In this embodiment, the situation in which the plug and the socket of the plug terminal which use the first basic structure are inserted into each other are described first.
The plug comprises a plug housing 1, a plug anti-contact pointer 2, a plug terminal 3, a plug wire clamping cap 7, a plug nut 8 and a plug rotary spring terminal 9. A circular jack 1c extending in the axial direction is arranged at the inserting end of the plug housing 1. A first circular plug barrel 1a2 coaxial with the jack 1c is arranged at the bottom position of the hole in the jack 1c. An annular space into which a second plug barrel 11a of the socket is inserted is formed between the outer wall of the first plug barrel 1a2 and the inner wall of the jack 1c. The end of the first plug barrel 1a2 extends out of the jack 1c. The plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 is coaxially arranged in the first plug barrel 1a2. The end of the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 does not protrude out of the first plug barrel 1a2. A plug anti-contact pointer 2 arranged coaxially is inserted in the plug-in pipe body of the plug terminal 3. The plug wire clamping cap 7 is sleeved on the wiring pipe body of the plug terminal 3. The plug nut 8 is sleeved on the plug wire clamping cap 7, and the top of the plug nut is screwed with the bottom of the plug housing 1 to fasten the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3 and the plug wire clamping cap 7 together. A plug rotary spring terminal 9 is arranged in the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3.
The socket comprises a socket housing 11 and a socket terminal 13. The inserting end of the socket housing 11 is provided with a second circular plug barrel 11a which is detachably inserted in the annular space and is coaxially arranged with the socket 1c. The socket terminal 13 is coaxially installed in the second plug barrel 11a. The end of the socket terminal 13 is connected with a socket anti-contact finger cap 12 which is used in cooperation with the plug anti-contact pointer 2. The second plug barrel 11a is inserted into the annular space, and the socket terminal 13 is inserted into the plug rotary spring terminal 9. The plug anti-contact pointer 2 extends into the second plug barrel 11a and is inserted into the socket anti-contact finger cap 12. The hole wall of the jack 1c is provided with a plurality of first through slots which are arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction and extend in the radial direction, such as two first through slots shown in
The outer wall of the inserting end of the second plug barrel 11a near the end is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion forms a convex ring 11b coaxial with the jack 1c around the circumferential direction of the second plug barrel 11a. The axial distance between the convex ring 11b and the guide block 1b1 is equal to or greater than 0, so that the convex ring 11b will not restrict the movement of the guide block 1b1 in the circumferential direction after the plug is inserted into the socket. The radius of the outer circular surface of the convex ring 11b is larger than the radial distance between the radial inner side surface of the guide block 1b1 and the axis of the jack 1c. The convex ring 11b is provided with a plurality of second through slots 11c which are arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction and extend in the axial direction. The slot bottom of the second through slot 11c is the outer wall of the second plug barrel 11a. The radial distance between the slot bottom of the second through slot 11c and the axis of the second plug barrel 11a is less than or equal to the radial distance between the radial inner side surface of the guide block 1b1 and the axis of the jack 1c.
The number of the second through slots 11c is equal to the number of the first through slots, and all the second through slots 11c and all the guide blocks 1b1 are axially aligned one by one in the circumferential direction. For example, on the plug housing 1, the included angle between two fingers is 60 degrees. Similarly, on the socket housing 11, the included angle between two second through slots 11c of the second plug barrel 11a is 60 degrees. In practical products, the energy storage high-voltage connector is provided with a negative electrode member and a positive electrode member cooperating with each other. When the negative electrode member is compared with the positive electrode member, there is a different number of the second through slots 11c and/or a different angle between two adjacent second through slots 11c, so as to distinguish the positive electrode from the negative electrode and avoid the wrong insertion of the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
In this embodiment, the situation in which the plug and the socket of the plug terminal which use the second basic structure are inserted into each other are described. In order to avoid repetition of contents, only the obvious differences from the plug of the plug terminal using the first basic structure are described here.

A circular jack 1c extending in the axial direction is arranged at the inserting end of the plug housing 1 in the external mold 1b. A first circular plug barrel 1a2 coaxial with the jack is arranged at the bottom of the hole in the jack 1c. The first plug barrel 1a2 is the part of the internal mold 1a located in the jack 1c for wrapping the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3. An annular space is formed between the outer wall of the first plug barrel 1a2 and the inner wall of the jack 1c, that is, between the outer wall of the internal mold 1a and the inner wall of the external mold 1b, into which the second plug barrel 11a of the socket is inserted. The end of the first plug barrel 1a2 extends out of the jack 1c. The plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 is coaxially arranged in the first plug barrel 1a2. The end of the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3 does not protrude out of the first plug barrel 1a2. A plug anti-contact pointer 2 arranged coaxially is provided in the plug-in pipe body 3a of the plug terminal 3. The plug anti-contact pointer 2 does not protrude out of the first plug barrel 1a2. The plug wire clamping cap 7 is sleeved on the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3. The plug nut 8 is sleeved on the plug wire clamping cap 7, and is screwed with the bottom of the external mold 1b of the plug housing 1 through the internal thread at the top to fasten the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3 and the plug wire clamping cap 7 together. A plug rotary spring terminal 9 is fixed in the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3.
In this embodiment, the plug housing 1 is provided with a circular jack 1c, and the socket housing 11 is provided with a second circular plug barrel 11a. In this way, there are no fool-proof structures such as bumps and chutes which are matched with each other at the inserting part of the plug housing 1 and the socket housing 11. The plug can rotate 360 degrees after being inserted, so as to facilitate wiring in different directions in the cabinet. Fingers are also arranged in the first through slots arranged in the plug housing 1, and guide blocks 1b1 are arranged at the ends of the fingers. Meanwhile, a convex ring 11b arranged on a second plug barrel 11a of the socket housing 11 is provided with second through slots 11c corresponding to the guide blocks 1b1 one by one, so that the plug housing 1 can only be inserted into the socket housing 11 at a specific angle. Because the number of the second through slots 11c is equal to the number of the first through slots, all the second through slots 11c and all the guide blocks 1b1 are axially aligned one by one in the circumferential direction. In this way, the plug housing 1 and the socket housing 11 have a fool-proof function, and only by changing the set number and the design angle of the second through slots 11c of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the wrong insertion of the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be effectively prevented. After the plug is inserted to the socket, the axial distance between the convex ring 11b and the guide block 1b1 is equal to or greater than 0, so that the plug can rotate 360 degrees while having the fool-proof function.
This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, a plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6 sleeved on the wiring pipe body of the plug terminal 3 is inserted into the plug wire clamping cap 7 of the energy storage high-voltage connector. The plug wire clamping cap 7 is sleeved on the plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6. The plug nut 8 is sleeved on the plug wire clamping cap 7, and the top of the plug nut is screwed with the bottom of the plug housing 1 to fasten the wiring pipe body 3c of the plug terminal 3, the plug T-shaped waterproof ring 6 and the plug wire clamping cap 7 together. A plug waterproof ring 10 is sleeved on the first plug barrel 1a2. A socket waterproof gasket 14 is sleeved on the socket housing 11.
This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, the plug housing 1 of the energy storage high-voltage connector is provided with a locking mechanism for locking with the socket when being inserted into the socket.
The locking mechanism comprises a plug button 4 and a plug spring 5. The plug button 4 is movably inserted into a hole provided at the side of the plug housing 1. A plug spring 5 for resetting the plug button 4 with the plug housing 1 is sleeved on the plug button 4. When the plug button 4 is used in cooperation with the plug spring 5, the plug can be locked with the socket when the plug is connected with the socket. A stopper on the plug button 4 extends into the jack 1c from the hole to prevent the plug placed at one side of the convex ring 11b from slipping off the socket. By pressing the plug button 4, the stopper can be moved radially away from the convex ring 11b to contact and lock.
This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, the finger of the energy storage high-voltage connector has elasticity. The finger and the plug housing 1 are plastic parts with an integrated structure. The surface of the guide block 1b1 adjacent to the convex ring 11b is provided as a slope surface 1b2. In this way, when the plug is pulled out in the axial direction, in the case that the second through slot 11c and the corresponding guide block 1b1 are mutually staggered in the circumferential direction, the top of the convex ring 11b abuts against the slope surface 1b2, so that the fingers bend and deform outward and slide from the top of the convex ring 11b to finally detach the second plug barrel 11a from the jack 1c.
In this embodiment, the finger with elasticity can bend and deform to a certain extent in the radial direction, so that the end of the finger can be far from the axis of the jack 1c. Meanwhile, the surface of the guide block 1b1 adjacent to the convex ring 11b is provided as a slope surface 1b2, so that the guide block 1b1 can slide from the top of the convex ring 11b by jacking the fingers through the convex ring 11b when pulling out the plug. In this way, the plug can be pulled out from all directions without the guide block 1b1 withdrawing from the corresponding second through slot 11c.
This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Further, in order to better realize the present disclosure, the following arrangement structure is particularly used.
In this embodiment, one end face of the guide block 1b1 of the energy storage high-voltage connector far from the convex ring 11b and one end face of the convex ring 11b far from the guide block 1b1 are provided as planes perpendicular to the axis of the jack 1c. The violent insertion of the plug can be effectively prevented when one end face of the guide block 1b1 far from the convex ring 11b and one end face of the convex ring 11b far from the guide block 1b1 are provided as planes perpendicular to the axis of the jack 1c.
When the energy storage high-voltage connector of the present disclosure is inserted, the finger on the plug housing 1 is aligned with and inserted into the second through slot 11c on the matching socket housing 11. The guide block 1b1 on the finger passes through the second through slot 11c from one side of the convex ring 11b and moves to the other side of the convex ring 11b. The plug housing 1 and the socket housing 11 are locked after being inserted in place. At this time, the plug can rotate 360 degrees because the guide block 1b1 is located at the other side of the convex ring 11b. When pulling out the plug, it is only necessary to pull out the plug at any angle. When the plug is pulled out, in the case that the second through slot 11c and the corresponding guide block 1b1 are mutually staggered in the circumferential direction, the top of the convex ring 11b abuts against the slope surface 1b2, so that the fingers bend and deform outward and slide from the top of the convex ring 11b to finally detach the second plug barrel 11a from the jack 1c.
The above are only the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, but the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceivable to those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present disclosure should be covered by the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
