[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be fully described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention through specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid leakage detection system for a liquid-cooled charging gun. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a liquid leakage detection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the leakage detection system 100 is arranged in the liquid-cooled charging gun 10, and the leakage detection system 100 includes a leakage detection module 200, a leakage detection circuit 300 and a control module 400; the leakage detection module 200 is used to receive leakage; the leakage detection circuit 300 is electrically connected to the leakage detection module 200, and is used to transmit a reference detection signal to the leakage detection module 200 and receive a leakage signal output by the leakage detection module 200, and the leakage signal is different under different leakage states; the control module 400 is electrically connected to the leakage detection circuit 300, and is used to receive the leakage signal and determine the leakage state according to the leakage signal.

[0036] Specifically, the liquid-cooled charging gun 10 is a connection device for high-power charging stations to charge cars. The liquid-cooled charging gun 10 contains a refrigerant to avoid the problem of heat damage to the device due to excessive power. In addition, the refrigerant is a conductive liquid. If the refrigerant leaks, there will be safety hazards. Furthermore, if it rains or snows, snow water and other substances leak into the liquid-cooled charging gun 10, there will also be safety hazards. A leakage detection system 100 is set in the liquid-cooled charging gun 10, which can detect the leakage status of the weak points where the liquid-cooled charging gun 10 contacts the car interface, thereby improving safety and stability.

[0037] Specifically, the leakage detection module 200 in the embodiment of the present invention is a leakage detection circuit board, which is arranged at the weak point of leakage in the connector part of the liquid-cooled charging gun 10, and is used to receive and collect leakage. After the leakage detection circuit 300 transmits the reference detection signal to the leakage detection module 200, due to the different conductivity of different liquids, the electrical signal fed back to the leakage detection circuit 300 by the leakage detection module 200 is different. The electrical signal is transmitted to the control module 400 after being processed by the leakage detection circuit 300. The control module 400 determines the leakage situation and / or distinguishes the type of leakage according to the received electrical signal.

[0038] Among them, the liquid leakage detection system 100 includes a liquid leakage detection module 200, a liquid leakage detection circuit 300 and a control module 400. The liquid leakage detection module 200 is used to obtain liquid leakage. Exemplarily, the liquid leakage can be a conductive refrigerant or water.

Further, the liquid leakage state at least includes a water leakage state, a refrigerant leakage state and a non-leakage state, and different liquid leakage signals are output based on the liquid leakage state. The control module 400 is electrically connected to the liquid leakage detection circuit 300, and determines different liquid leakage states based on different liquid leakage signals received by the liquid leakage detection circuit 300.

[0039] Exemplarily, when the liquid leakage state is a water leakage state, that is, the liquid leakage detection module 200 is used to obtain the current water leakage. The liquid leakage detection circuit 300 outputs a reference detection signal to the liquid leakage detection module 200, and the liquid leakage detection module 200 outputs a water leakage signal to the liquid leakage detection circuit 300 based on the obtained reference detection signal and the current water leakage state. The control module 400 then determines that there is a current water leakage based on the water leakage signal obtained by the liquid leakage detection circuit 300.

[0040] Exemplarily, when the leakage state is a refrigerant leakage state, the leakage detection module 200 is used to obtain the refrigerant leakage currently flowing. The leakage detection circuit 300 outputs a reference detection signal to the leakage detection module 200, and the leakage detection module 200 outputs a refrigerant leakage signal to the leakage detection circuit 300 based on the obtained reference detection signal and the current refrigerant leakage state. The control module 400 then determines that there is a refrigerant leakage flow situation based on the refrigerant leakage signal obtained by the leakage detection circuit 300.

[0041] Exemplarily, when the liquid leakage state is a non-leakage state, that is, the liquid leakage detection module 200 does not obtain the current leaking liquid. The liquid leakage detection circuit 300 outputs a reference detection signal to the liquid leakage detection module 200, and the liquid leakage detection module 200 outputs a non-leakage signal to the liquid leakage detection circuit 300 based on the obtained reference detection signal and the current non-leakage state. The control module 400 then determines that the current situation is a non-leakage situation based on the non-leakage signal obtained by the liquid leakage detection circuit 300.

[0042] In summary, the leakage detection system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is arranged in the liquid-cooled charging gun, and the leakage detection system includes a leakage detection module, a leakage detection circuit and a control module; the leakage detection circuit is used to transmit a reference detection signal to the leakage detection module and receive a leakage signal output by the leakage detection module; the control module then receives the leakage signal and determines the leakage state according to the leakage signal.

[0049] The detection circuit 320 includes an amplifying subcircuit 322, which is used to amplify the signal transmitted to the detection circuit 320 to ensure the stability of the transmitted signal. Specifically, the amplifying subcircuit 322 is located between the second connection terminal 200B and the control module 400, and the leakage voltage signal transmitted by the second connection terminal 200B is amplified by the amplifying subcircuit 322. The control module 400 receives the amplified leakage voltage signal, and the leakage situation of the leakage detection system 100 is judged more accurately and stably.
