Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery charging, and in particular to a lithium battery charging connection method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy batteries, new energy vehicles and other electrical appliances represented by lithium batteries have been increasingly widely used. In the technological process from lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries, thanks to the continuous improvement of battery energy density, more and more energy can be stored and released within a smaller and smaller battery volume framework.

[0003] As the capacity of batteries continues to increase, the technical requirements for charging circuits are becoming more stringent within the limited charging time. For example, the charging voltage and charging current are getting higher and higher. Therefore, during the charging process, it is necessary to ensure that the lithium battery charging connector must always remain in a fixed position to avoid slipping and causing leakage.

The unlocking compression spring is located between the annular groove retaining ring and the spring retaining ring. An elastic plug rod is also provided at the rear right side of the inner wall of the retaining sleeve

[0031] The lithium battery charging connection method comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step 1, insert the locking plug body:

[0033] Step 2, unlock the moving claw assembly so that it loses its locked position:

[0034] Step 3: Pull out the plug body.

[0035] As a further implementation:

[0036] Step 1:

[0037] Step 1.1, initial insertion:

[0038] Align the socket body and the lock hole assembly with the plug body and the lock body assembly, and then push the lock body assembly backwards to insert it into the lock hole assembly;

[0039] The rotating lock core, the sliding lock core, and the unlocking sleeve move backward along the circular rear cavity until the sliding lock core is stopped by the central cylinder;

[0040] Step 1.2, turn the lock head to rotate backwards:

[0041] Continue to push the plug body and the lock body assembly backward, the rotating lock core and the unlocking sleeve overcome the damping of the reset compression spring and move backward relative to the sliding lock core, the lock hole push rod, and the lock hole chamber.

[0042] at the same time,

[0043] The driven thread groove is rotated by the driving plug, and then drives the rotating inner cylinder, the widened circular cavity, the side hole plug, the front connecting ring, the rotating outer cylinder, and the rotating lock head to overcome the torsion of the reset torsion spring and rotate;

[0044] That is, the rotating lock head rotates and steps backward along the spiral track;

[0045] Step 1.3, the rotating lock is locked by the one-way claw:

[0046] Continue to push the plug body and the lock body assembly backward, the rotating lock head rotates backward step by step until it is inserted into the one-way thread groove, and drives the lock head body and the spindle insertion hole to retreat along the compression spring spindle by squeezing the one-way inclined surface; the rotating lock head continues to rotate backward step by step until it slides over the lock head body, at which time the lock head body and the spindle insertion hole pop out and reset under the action of the lock head compression spring;

[0047] After stopping, the plug body and the lock body assembly are pushed back, and the reset compression spring pushes the rotating lock core and the unlocking sleeve forward, but the rotating lock head is stuck by the lock head body and cannot rotate forward.

[0048] Step 2, an embodiment of unlocking the movable claw assembly so that it loses the locking position:

[0049] Continue to push the lock body assembly backward, so that the rotary lock core and the unlocking sleeve continue to retreat, and the rotary lock head slides out of the one-way thread groove;

[0050] Then,

[0051] The unlocking sleeve triggers the moving claw assembly to lose its locked position:

[0052] The elastic insertion rod and the rear damping member squeeze the rack inclined surface, thereby pushing the driving rack and the front damping member to move leftward to the retracted position until the rear damping member is inserted behind the front damping member and locked;

[0053] The driving rack drives the driven gear and the first bevel gear to rotate, the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear, the transmission spindle, and the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear drives the sliding rack, the connecting rod, and the one-way claw to retreat;

[0054] The backward displacement of the one-way claw causes it to lose its effective locking position for the rotary lock.

[0055] Step 3, pull out the plug body:

[0056] Step 3.1, locking the rear damper:

[0057] Pull out the plug body and lock body assembly forward;

[0058] The rear damping member, the elastic plug rod, the retaining sleeve and the spring retaining ring are locked by the front damping member to maintain a static posture, the driving rack is kept in the left retracted position, and the moving claw assembly continues to fail, that is, loses the locking position; the rear annular groove and the annular groove retaining ring move forward with the rotating lock core and squeeze the unlocking compression spring;

[0059] The rotary lock core moves forward and rotates to reset, and the rotary lock head retreats along the spiral track in steps 1 and 2;

[0060] When the rotary lock head retreats to the locked position, due to the retreat of the one-way claw, the rotary lock head no longer retreats to the one-way thread groove and is locked by the lock head body 34g, but slides in front of the spiral bevel;

[0061] Step 3.2, slide out the rear damper:

[0062] Continue to pull out the plug body and lock body assembly forward;

[0063] The left side of the elastic plug rod is slightly deformed backwards, so that the rear damping member slides out from the right side of the front damping member, and the unlocking sleeve is pulled forward and reset together with the rotating lock core;

[0064] The top pressure spring is stretched to realize the reset of the lock hole push rod and the movable claw assembly.

[0065] Beneficial effects:

[0066] The lithium battery charging connector described in the present invention realizes the plug-in connection between the socket body and the plug body through the plug-in fixation of the lock hole assembly and the lock body assembly.

[0067] The lithium battery charging connector of the present invention is easy to operate and can be plugged in by simply pushing it backwards:

[0068] The lock body assembly is pushed backward to be inserted into the lock hole assembly; the rotating lock core moves backward and is rotated by the sliding lock core, so that the rotating lock head rotates backward along a spiral track and is finally locked by the one-way claw. The lithium battery charging connector described in the present invention is simple to operate and can be unlocked by pushing it backward again and can be easily pulled out by pulling it forward:

[0069] First, push back to unlock:

[0070] Continue to push the lock body assembly backward, so that the rotating lock core and the unlocking sleeve continue to retreat, and the unlocking sleeve triggers the moving claw assembly to cause it to lose the locking position: the elastic plug rod and the rear damping member squeeze the rack ramp, thereby pushing the driving rack and the front damping member to move left to the retracted position until the rear damping member is inserted behind the front damping member and locked; the driving rack drives the driven gear and the first bevel gear to rotate, and the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear, the transmission spindle, and the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear drives the sliding rack, the connecting plug rod, and the one-way claw to retreat; the backward displacement of the one-way claw causes it to lose its effective locking position for the rotating lock head;

[0071] Then, pull forward:

[0072] The plug body and the lock body assembly are pulled out forward; the movable claw assembly fails continuously, i.e. the locking position is lost; the rotating lock core moves forward and rotates to reset, and when the rotating lock head retreats to the locking position, due to the retreat of the one-way claw, the rotating lock head no longer retreats to the one-way thread groove and is stopped by the lock head body, but slides in front of the spiral bevel.

[0137] Continue to push the plug body p and the lock body assembly q backward, the rotating lock head 42h rotates and steps backward until it is inserted into the one-way thread groove 34c, and drives the lock head body 34g and the core shaft insertion hole 34h to retreat along the compression spring core shaft 34e by squeezing the one-way inclined surface 34i;

[0138] The rotating lock 42h continues to rotate backward stepwise until it slides over the lock body 34g, at which time the lock body 34g and the spindle insertion hole 34h pop out and reset under the action of the lock compression spring 34f;

[0139] After stopping, the plug body p and the lock body assembly q are pushed back, and the return compression spring 42j pushes the rotating lock core 4 and the unlocking sleeve 6 forward, but the rotating lock head 42h is blocked by the lock head body 34g and cannot rotate forward. Further, a specific embodiment of the unlocking sleeve 6 is given below:

[0140] The unlocking sleeve 6 comprises a rear annular groove 61 formed on the rear half of the outer wall of the rotating inner cylinder 42a, an annular groove retaining ring 62 formed on the rear end of the rear annular groove 61, a retaining sleeve 63 rotatably sleeved on the rear annular groove 61, a spring retaining ring 64 formed on the front half of the inner wall of the retaining sleeve 63 and sleeved in the rear annular groove 61, and an unlocking compression spring 65 wound around the rear annular groove 61, wherein the unlocking compression spring 65 is located between the annular groove retaining ring 62 and the spring retaining ring 64, and an elastic plug rod 66 is further provided at the rear right side of the inner wall of the retaining sleeve 63, and a rear damping member 66a which is locked and matched with the front damping member 24b is provided at the lower left side of the elastic plug rod 66;

[0141] Based on the improved technical solution of the unlocking sleeve 6, an embodiment of step 2, unlocking the movable claw assembly 3 so that it loses the locked position, is given below:

[0142] Continue to push the lock body assembly q backward, so that the rotary lock core 4 and the unlocking sleeve 6 continue to retreat, and the rotary lock head 42h slides out from the one-way thread groove 34c;

[0143] Then,

[0144] The unlocking sleeve 6 triggers the moving claw assembly 3 to lose the locked position:

[0145] The elastic insertion rod 66 and the rear damping member 66a squeeze the rack inclined surface 24a, thereby pushing the driving rack 24 and the front damping member 24b to move leftward to the retreat position until the rear damping member 66a is inserted behind the front damping member 24b and locked;

[0146] The driving rack 24 drives the driven gear 31b and the first bevel gear 31c to rotate, and the first bevel gear 31c drives the second bevel gear 32c, the transmission spindle 32b, and the driving gear 32d to rotate, and the driving gear 32d drives the sliding rack 33c, the connecting rod 33d, and the one-way claw 34 to retreat;

[0147] The backward displacement of the one-way claw 34 causes it to lose its effective locking position for the rotary lock head 42h.

[0148] The lithium battery charging connection method further comprises the step 3 of pulling out the plug body p:

[0149] Step 3.1, locking the rear damping member 66a:

[0150] Pull out the plug body p and the lock body assembly q forward;

[0151] The rear damping member 66a, the elastic plug rod 66, the retaining sleeve 63, and the spring retaining ring 64 are locked by the front damping member 24b to maintain a static posture, the driving rack 24 is kept in the left retracted position, and the moving claw assembly 3 continues to fail, that is, loses the locking position;

[0152] The rear annular groove 61 and the annular groove retaining ring 62 move forward with the rotating lock core 4 and squeeze the unlocking compression spring 65;

[0153] The rotary lock core 4 moves forward and rotates to reset, and the rotary lock head 42h retreats along the spiral track in steps 1 and 2;

[0154] When the rotating lock head 42h retreats to the locked position, due to the retreat of the one-way claw 34, the rotating lock head 42h no longer retreats to the one-way thread groove 34c and is locked by the lock head body 34g, but slides in front of the spiral inclined surface 34b;

[0155] Step 3.2, the rear damping member 66a slides out:

[0156] Continue to pull out the plug body p and the lock body assembly q forward;

[0157] The left side of the elastic plug rod 66 is slightly deformed backwards, so that the rear damping member 66a slides out from the right side of the front damping member 24b, and the unlocking sleeve 6 is pulled forward and reset together with the rotating lock core 4;

[0158] The top pressure spring 26 is stretched to realize the reset of the lock hole push rod 2 and the movable claw assembly 3.

[0159] As a further implementation:

[0160] The elastic insert rod 66 is made of metal material, preferably memory metal, so that it can produce a slight deformation under the action of stress and return to its original posture after the stress disappears.

[0161] Thanks to the above improved technical solution, the elastic insertion rod 66 enables the rear damping member 66a to maintain its posture within a certain stress range, thereby maintaining effective locking cooperation with the front damping member 24b.

[0162] Step 3.1, rear damper is locked.

[0163] The elastic force of the unlocking compression spring 65 is the forward stress exerted on the spring retaining ring 64, the retaining sleeve 63, the elastic insert rod 66 and the rear damping member 66a. At this time, the elastic insert rod 66 can withstand the smaller stress without deformation and maintain the locking fit with the front damping member 24b.

[0164] In step 3.2, the rear damping member 66a is sliding out.

[0165] The unlocking compression spring 65 is fully compressed, and the annular groove retaining ring 62 directly and rigidly squeezes the spring retaining ring 64, the retaining sleeve 63, the elastic insert rod 66, and the rear damping member 66a. At this time, the elastic insert rod 66 bends and deforms forward under the larger rigid stress, and then smoothly slides over the front damping member 24b.

[0166] As a further implementation:

[0167] The front damping member 24b and the rear damping member 66a are made of metal material.

[0168] The front damping member 24b and the rear damping member 66a are made of non-slip and wear-resistant non-metallic materials.

[0169] Furthermore, the front damping member 24b and the rear damping member 66a are made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0170] As a further implementation:

[0171] The rotation angle of the driven drum 42 under normal conditions.

[0172] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
