Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of charging guns, and particularly relates to a waterproof charging gun and its production process. Background Art

[0002] At present, new energy vehicles have advantages such as low pollution, low energy consumption, and low noise, and are increasingly widely used in life. Charging connection products for new energy vehicles, such as charging guns, have also developed rapidly. For the charging gun products currently on the market, due to the different gun body structures and technical requirements of each manufacturer, the waterproof performance at the gun head is uneven. As a result, when the charging gun is used in harsh conditions such as rain, immersion, waterlogging, dust ingress, and rolling, the protection performance of the gun head fails, leading to internal water ingress and dust ingress, causing damage.

[0003] In the patent No. CN106256594B, a charging gun with high strength and high waterproof structure is disclosed, including an integrally formed gun body, a charging gun head, conductive PIN pins, a cable, a housing, a mechanical lock, and a button. Among them, the charging gun head is arranged at the front end of the gun body, the conductive PIN pins are placed inside the charging gun head, and a sealing material is poured at the end of the conductive PIN pins. After solidification, a sealing layer for sealing the conductive PIN pins is formed. The cable is arranged at the tail of the gun body, the housing is placed above the gun body, and the mechanical lock and the button are installed inside the housing. By pouring liquid soft glue into the conductive PIN pins, a sealing layer is formed after the liquid soft glue solidifies, so as to improve the waterproof performance at the front end.

[0004] However, due to the structural requirements of the charging gun, it necessarily has at least two openings at the front end and the rear end for installing components such as the gun head and the cable. Merely improving the waterproof performance at the front end is difficult to meet the waterproof requirements of the charging gun, and as the use time increases, its waterproof effect will become worse and worse, affecting the use.

[0010] In one embodiment, the power cord sheath is sleeved on the cable. The power cord sheath comprises a plugged part and a protection part which are communicated with each other. The plugged part is inserted into the wire pressing assembly and closes the rear opening. The protection part is frustum-shaped, the bottom surface of the protection part with a larger area is connected to the plugged part, and a limiting ring is arranged on the plugged part, and there is a gap between the limiting ring and the protection part.

[0011] In one embodiment, a waterproof assembly is sleeved on the charging interface. The waterproof assembly comprises a waterproof sleeve, a connecting handle, and a connecting ring. The waterproof sleeve cooperates with the charging interface. The connecting handle is arranged between the waterproof sleeve and the connecting ring. The connecting ring is sleeved on the plugged part and is located between the limiting ring and the protection part.

[0012] Meanwhile, the production process of the waterproof charging gun provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0013] S1: Cleaning. Use flowing clear water to clean the inside of the main housing of the charging gun. Inject clear water through the front opening, rear opening, and top opening respectively and clean for 10 - 15 seconds. After cleaning, blow dry with cold air for standby.

[0014] S2: Pretreatment. Seal the front opening and the top opening. Inject glycerol into the main housing of the charging gun through the rear opening until the internal space of the main housing of the charging gun is filled with glycerol. Then pour out the glycerol evenly so that a layer of glycerol film is adsorbed on the inner surface of the main housing of the charging gun.

[0015] S3: Prepare the sealing glue. Pour the sealing glue into the vacuum tank evenly while stirring the sealing glue in the vacuum tank until all the glue is poured in. Then continue stirring for 3 - 5 minutes, and then evacuate the vacuum tank to obtain the usable sealing glue.

[0016] S4: Assembly. Assemble the charging interface, PCB assembly module, and power cord assembly onto the main housing of the charging gun. Slip the power cord sheath onto the cable, and complete the wiring inside the main housing of the charging gun to form a semi - finished product.

[0017] S5: Glue injection. Pour the sealing glue obtained in S3 into the main housing of the charging gun obtained in S4. The glue injection flow rate is 5 - 25 g / s until the inside of the main housing of the charging gun is filled with the sealing glue to complete the glue injection.

[0018] S6: Fixing. Assemble the wire pressing component onto the main housing of the charging gun obtained in S5, and slide the power cord sheath to install it inside the wire pressing component for fixing to obtain a waterproof charging gun.

[0019] In one embodiment, S5 specifically includes the following steps: S5.1: Place the main housing of the charging gun vertically with the rear opening facing up. Then pour the sealing glue into the main housing of the charging gun from the side opening. The glue injection flow rate is 5 - 15 g / s. Stop pouring the glue until the sealing glue overflows from the top opening, and then insert the sealing plug into the top opening for sealing and fixing. Then shake the main housing of the charging gun. The shaking time is 15 - 30 seconds and the shaking speed is 1 circle / s to complete the initial glue injection. S5.2: After the initial glue injection is completed, pour the sealing glue into the main housing of the charging gun from the top opening. The glue injection flow rate is 10 - 25 g / s until the main housing of the charging gun is filled with the sealing glue to complete the glue injection operation.

[0020] In one embodiment, S4 further includes the following sub - steps: S4.1 After slipping the power cord sheath onto the cable and before completing the wiring inside the main housing of the charging gun, assemble the waterproof component onto the power cord sheath for fixing.

[0021] In the present invention, the integrated PCB assembly module, the wiring positions inside the power cord assembly and the charging interface are all located inside the main housing of the charging gun, and then sealed glue is poured in to wrap and cover. After the glue solidifies, the wiring positions cannot move or rotate inside the main housing of the charging gun, ensuring the stability of the wiring positions and improving the protection performance inside the main housing of the charging gun to IP67, and enhancing the mechanical strength of the overall charging gun assembly.

[0022] In the present invention, glycerol is used to form a glycerol film inside the main housing of the charging gun, which can improve the flow of the sealed glue on the inner wall of the housing when injecting the glue, improve the filling effect of the glue, and reduce the generation of dead corners.

[0023] In the present invention, through the arrangement of the rear opening and the top opening, the overall glue injection is divided into two steps. If the glue is directly injected from one direction, blockage and air bubbles are likely to occur. By adopting a two-step glue injection process, first ensure the glue injection for the internal structure of the front opening part, and then inject from the rear opening. This can not only improve the glue injection effect, reduce air bubbles, but also effectively reduce the generation of dead corners, enabling the glue to fill the inside of the main housing of the charging gun and ensuring the waterproof effect.

[0107] Test the waterproof charging guns obtained in Examples 2 - 7 respectively according to the GB4208 - 2008 standard for the degree of protection of enclosures, and charging guns with a protection performance up to IP67 are obtained.

[0108] For Examples 2-7 and the comparative example (a conventional waterproof charging gun purchased on the market), the obtained waterproof charging guns were respectively subjected to multiple service life tests in accordance with the GB4208-2008 standard for the degree of protection provided by enclosures. The tests were conducted three times a day to simulate the water ingress scenario under heavy rain weather. Based on the average number of rainy days per year being 122 days (1 / 3 of the annual rainfall time), the test lasted for 400 days, and the following results were obtained:

[0109] Item Test Time (days) Test Result Comparative Example 210 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 210th day of the test Example 2 310 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 310th day of the test Example 3 298 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 298th day of the test Example 4 305 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 305th day of the test Example 5 381 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 381st day of the test Example 6 390 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 390th day of the test Example 7 386 Internal water ingress damage occurred on the 386th day of the test

[0110] According to the above data, it can be concluded that after multiple tests, the waterproof effect of the comparative example was lost, and the test termination time was 210 days. A total of 630 tests were conducted, which is equivalent to 1890 days of use time (630 days of rainfall time within 1890 days).

[0111] However, the service life of Examples 2-7 was significantly longer than that of the comparative example. The fastest damaged Example 3 also experienced 2682 days of use time, far exceeding that of the comparative example. In particular, for Examples 5-7, the service life was greater than 3429 days, and the waterproof effect was very ideal.

[0112] It should be noted that in the present invention, the connection methods not described between components can adopt the commonly used connection methods in the field.
