[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] like Figure 2-9As shown, this embodiment provides a charging gun cooling system, which includes a head cooling assembly 1, a liquid input pipe 3 and a liquid output pipe 4. The head cooling assembly 1 includes a support frame 11 and a cooling cavity 12, the cooling cavity 12 is provided with a liquid inlet 121 and a liquid outlet 122, the support frame 11 is configured to accommodate the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200, the cooling cavity 12 is provided on the support frame 11, and the cooling cavity 12 is configured to be located between the first terminal 100 and the second terminal 200; the liquid input pipe 3 is connected to the liquid inlet 121; the liquid output pipe 4 is connected to the liquid outlet 122; the outer surface of the liquid input pipe 3 is used to lay the first cable 400, and the outer surface of the liquid output pipe 4 is used to lay the second cable 500, the first cable 400 is used to connect to the connecting end of the first terminal 100, and the second cable 500 is used to connect to the connecting end of the second terminal 200. Optionally, the connection between the first cable 400 and the first terminal 100 and between the second cable 500 and the second terminal 200 can be ultrasonic welding. In some embodiments, the first terminal 100 is a positive terminal, and the first cable 400 is a positive cable; the second terminal 200 is a negative terminal, and the second cable 500 is a negative cable.

[0049] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned configuration enables the heat generated at the connection between the first cable 400 and the first terminal 100 and the connection between the second cable 500 and the second terminal 200 to be transferred to the cooling cavity 12, and the coolant entering the cooling cavity 12 from the liquid inlet 121 flows out from the liquid outlet 122 after absorbing the heat, thereby taking the heat away, thereby reducing the temperature of the connection between the first cable 400 and the first terminal 100 and the connection between the second cable 500 and the second terminal 200; and by laying the first cable 400 along the liquid input pipe 3 and the second cable 500 along the liquid output pipe 4, the temperature of the entire first cable 400 and the entire second cable 500 can also be reduced, thereby improving the charging efficiency and reducing the harm to the charging gun.

[0050] Combination Figure 5As shown, in order to prevent the coolant from entering the cooling cavity 12 from the liquid inlet 121 and immediately entering the liquid outlet 122, in this embodiment, as a preference, the cooling cavity 12 includes a first liquid storage area 1201, a second liquid storage area 1202, and a connecting area 1203 connecting the first liquid storage area 1201 and the second liquid storage area 1202; the liquid inlet 121 connects the first liquid storage area 1201; the liquid outlet 122 connects the second liquid storage area 1202, the first liquid storage area 1201 is configured to be adjacent to the connection end of the first terminal 100, and the second liquid storage area 1202 is configured to be adjacent to the connection end of the second terminal 200. This arrangement allows the heat generated at the connection end of the first terminal 100 and the connection end of the second terminal 200 to enter the cooling cavity 12 through the side walls of the first liquid storage area 1201 and the second liquid storage area 1202, respectively, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0051] Furthermore, a guide member 1231 is provided on the inner wall of the cooling cavity 12, and the guide member 1231 is located in the connecting area 1203 and extends to a predetermined height in the height direction of the cooling cavity 12. With the arrangement of the above structure, the coolant can flow along the side walls of the first liquid storage area 1201, the second liquid storage area 1202 and the connecting area 1203 as much as possible, thereby improving the flow path of the coolant, thereby expanding the contact area between the flowing coolant and the cooling cavity 12, and improving the cooling effect of the cooling cavity 12 on the connecting ends of the second terminal 200 and the connecting ends of the first terminal 100 on both sides.

[0052] Furthermore, two guide members 1231 are provided, and are arranged opposite to each other up and down, so that the coolant entering the cooling cavity 12 through the upper liquid inlet 121 needs to pass through the upper guide member 1231 before entering the upper liquid outlet 122, and the coolant entering the cooling cavity 12 through the lower liquid inlet 121 needs to pass through the lower guide member 1231 before entering the lower liquid outlet 122, and this arrangement further optimizes the flow path of the coolant. Among them, the material of the cooling cavity 12 can be thermally conductive ceramic. Among them, the cooling cavity 12 includes a box body 123 and a box cover 124, and the box cover 124 is arranged behind the box body 123 to form a sealed cavity for containing the coolant. Preferably, the box body 123 is provided with a stop bar for stopping the box cover 124. Furthermore, the length of the guide member 1231 is consistent with the length of the stop bar, and the guide member 1231 is also used to stop the box cover 124. Preferably, the box cover 124 is provided with a sealing groove in the circumference, and when the box cover 124 is placed in the box body 123, the sealing groove and the inner wall of the box body 123 are surrounded to form an end sealing cavity, and the annular sealing member is arranged in the end sealing cavity. Optionally, a pressing plate is connected to the support frame 11, and presses the box cover 124 against the stop strip and the guide member 1231, wherein the pressing plate is not shown.

[0053] During use, when the liquid input pipe 3 or the liquid output pipe 4 is blocked, the cooling system of the charging gun will be unable to perform cooling work, thereby causing the temperature of the first terminal 100 and the second terminal 200 to rise, causing damage to the charging gun. In this embodiment, as a preference, there are two liquid inlets 121 and two liquid outlets 122, each of which is connected to a liquid input pipe 3, and each of which is connected to a liquid output pipe 4. The two liquid inlets 121 are arranged in the first liquid storage area 1201 along the height direction of the cooling cavity 12; the two liquid outlets 122 are arranged in the second liquid storage area 1202 along the height direction of the cooling cavity 12. This arrangement allows the other liquid input pipe 3 or liquid output pipe 4 to continue to transmit coolant when one of the liquid input pipes 3 or the liquid output pipe 4 is blocked, without affecting the cooling work of the first terminal 100 and the second terminal 200, thereby improving the smoothness of the charging work. Optionally, the liquid inlet 121 and the liquid input pipe 3 as well as the liquid outlet 122 and the liquid output pipe 4 are connected via a throat clamp.

[0054] Optionally, the box cover 124 is provided with four mounting holes, and the two liquid inlets 121 and the two liquid outlets 122 are respectively installed in the four mounting holes. This arrangement provides guidance for the installation of the liquid inlets 121 and the liquid outlets 122, and improves the installation efficiency.

[0055] Combination Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the head cooling assembly 1 also includes a first heat conductive member 13, and the first heat conductive member 13 is configured to be arranged between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the cooling cavity 12 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the cooling cavity 12. In some embodiments, the first heat conductive member 13 is made of a heat conductive material having elasticity or buffering properties, preferably a heat conductive silicone. The provision of the first heat conductive member 13 improves the efficiency of heat transfer between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the cooling cavity 12 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the cooling cavity 12, and on the other hand, avoids rigid collision between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the cooling cavity 12 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the cooling cavity 12.

[0056] Furthermore, the head cooling assembly 1 also includes a second heat conductor 14; the second heat conductor 14 is configured to be arranged between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the support frame 11 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the support frame 11.

Optionally, the material of the first heat conductor 13 is heat-conducting nylon. The provision of the second heat conductor 14 improves the heat transfer efficiency between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the support frame 11 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the support frame 11 on the one hand, and avoids rigid collision between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the support frame 11 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the support frame 11 on the other hand.

[0057] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the head cooling assembly 1 further includes a temperature detection member 15, the second heat conducting member 14 is provided with a mounting groove, and the temperature detection member 15 is arranged in the mounting groove for detecting the temperature of the connection end of the first terminal 100 and / or the temperature of the connection end of the second terminal 200. This arrangement can accurately detect the temperature of the first terminal 100 and / or the second terminal 200 to avoid the occurrence of dangerous accidents.

[0058] Preferably, the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200 are both flat and have a planar cable connecting surface 101; the cable connecting surface 101 is arranged perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first terminal 100 and the second terminal 200.

The arrangement of the rear cooling assembly 2 allows the heat at the connection between the first cable 400, the second cable 500 and the first conductive member 300 to be taken away by the liquid input pipe 3, thereby reducing the temperature at the connection and reducing the charging risk.

[0060] Combination Figure 8-Figure 9As shown, regarding the structure of the connection box 21, in this embodiment, specifically, the connection box 21 includes a box body 211 and a cover body 212, the box body 211 is provided with a first lower through groove 2111, a second lower through groove 2112 and a third lower through groove 2113; the cover body 212 is provided with a first upper through groove 2121, a second upper through groove 2122 and a protrusion 2123; when the cover body 212 is covered on the box body 211, the first lower through groove 2111 and the first upper through groove 2121 are arranged to form a first channel; the second lower through groove 2112 and the second upper through groove 2122 are arranged to form a second channel; the third lower through groove 2113 and the protrusion 2123 are arranged to form a third channel; the liquid output pipe 4 and / or the liquid input pipe 3 penetrate into the connection box 21 through the second channel and pass out from the first channel; the first conductive member 300 penetrates into the connection box 21 through the third channel. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the liquid output tube 4, the liquid output tube 4, the first conductive member 300 and the cable, and the structure with the semi-enclosed through groove or protrusion is conducive to the production of the box body 211 and the cover body 212. On the other hand, the cooperation between the protrusion 2123 and the third lower through groove 2113 can also effectively prevent the box body 211 and the cover body 212 from being misaligned during installation.

[0061] In this embodiment, preferably, the first cable 400 and the second cable 500 are both connected via the second conductive member 401 and the first conductive member 300.

Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided at the end of the second connection column, the through hole and the positioning groove are connected, and when the cover body 212 is covered on the box body 211, the first connection column is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0063] Optionally, the connection box 21 further includes a first sealing ring 213, a second sealing ring 214 and a third sealing ring 215; the first sealing ring 213, the second sealing ring 214 and the third sealing ring 215 are used to seal the first channel, the second channel and the third channel respectively. In this embodiment, the internal space of the connection box 21 is isolated from the external environment by means of the arrangement of the first sealing ring 213, the second sealing ring 214 and the third sealing ring 215, so as to prevent the connection between the internal first conductive member 300 and the first cable 400 or the second cable 500 from being damp, thereby improving the safety performance of the cooling system.

Through the above arrangement, the heat generated by the connection end of the first terminal 100 and the connection end of the second terminal 200 can be effectively extracted, and the temperature of the connection end of the first terminal 100 and the temperature of the connection end of the second terminal 200 can be effectively reduced; in addition, the heat generated by the first cable 400 and the second cable 500 themselves can also be taken away by the coolant, so that the temperature is reduced.

[0072] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200 are both flat and have a planar cable connection surface 101, one end of the first cable 400 is distributed and fixed to the cable connection surface 101 of the first terminal 100, and one end of the second cable 500 is distributed and fixed to the cable connection surface 101 of the second terminal 200. With the above arrangement, a stable and good connection with the first cable 400 or the second cable 500 can be easily achieved.

[0073] Preferably, the head cooling assembly 1 also includes a first heat conductive member 13 and a second heat conductive member 14, the first heat conductive member 13 covers the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and exposes the cable connecting surface 101 and / or covers the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and exposes the cable connecting surface 101; the second heat conductive member 14 is arranged between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the support frame 11 and / or between the connecting end of the second terminal 200 and the support frame 11, and the first heat conductive member 13 and the second heat conductive member 14 are both U-shaped and the openings are arranged opposite to each other. This arrangement allows the heat generated by the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200 to be dissipated by heat transfer, and the cooling effect is obvious. Due to the connection of the first cable 400 or the second cable 500, the second heat conductive member 14 and the cable connecting surface 101 cannot fit tightly.

With the aid of the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the heat-conducting structure can cover the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200, thereby expanding the heat transfer area between the connecting end of the first terminal 100 and the connecting end of the second terminal 200, thereby making it easier to transfer heat and achieving a better cooling effect.
