[0019] The following is a further non-limiting detailed description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: an electric vehicle charging pile cable, comprising a charging plug 1, a cable 3 is connected to one side of the charging plug 1, a charging socket 2 is arranged on one side of the charging plug 1, the charging socket 2 is arranged on the external electric vehicle, a round hole 21 is evenly opened on one side of the charging socket 2, a conductive terminal 22 is installed inside the round hole 21, a terminal guide column 11 is evenly arranged on one side of the charging plug 1, the terminal guide column 11 is electrically connected to the conductive terminal 22, a notch 111 is opened on the terminal guide column 11, the terminal guide column 11 has elastic deformation ability, the inner wall of the terminal guide column 11 is made of conductive material, when in use, the charging plug 1 is first inserted into the charging socket 2, so that the terminal guide column 11 and the conductive terminal 22 are mutually sleeved, at this time, the notch 111 is squeezed, so that the conductive part of its inner wall starts to conduct electricity, and charging can start at this time, and at the same time, a certain squeezing force is exerted on the conductive terminal 22 to prevent it from falling off;

[0021] The inner wall of the terminal guide column 11 is provided with a receiving groove 112, and a tightening strip 16 is slidably provided inside the receiving groove 112. One end of the tightening strip 16 on each terminal guide column 11 is commonly connected to the flexible belt 12. A winding roller 15 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the charging plug 1 through a bearing. The flexible belt 12 is wound around the outer wall of the winding roller 15. When charging, the winding roller 15 is rotated forward to wrap the flexible belt 12 around its outer wall, and the flexible belt 12 can be tightened at the same time. One end of the flexible belt 12 pulls and drives the tightening strip 16 to tighten, so that the gap 111 is tightly closed. At this time, power is turned on and a certain connection resistance is generated to prevent the charging plug 1 from falling off. At the same time, since no external fixing parts are required, the charging process is convenient. When charging is completed, the winding roller 15 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the flexible belt 12. The terminal guide column 11 will form a gap 111 due to the elastic restoring force. At this time, the charging plug 1 can be easily removed, which is convenient for reducing friction during plugging and unplugging, thereby increasing the service life of the charging plug 1.

[0022] A worm gear 183 is connected to one side of the winding roller 15 by welding. The worm gear 183 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the charging plug 1. A connecting shaft 182 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of one side of the charging plug 1. A worm 181 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 182. The worm 181 is screwed with the worm gear 183. When charging, the terminal guide column 11 and the conductive terminal 22 are first plugged into each other, and then the worm 181 is driven to rotate. The worm 181 drives the worm gear 183 to rotate. Since the worm gear mechanism has a self-locking performance, it can prevent its reversal, so that the terminal guide column 11 is always closed during charging to prevent it from being disconnected;

[0023] One end of the connecting shaft 182 is connected to a toothed disc 18, and a guide rail 17 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the charging plug 1. The inner wall of the guide rail 17 is slidably connected to a control pull bar 14, and the control pull bar 14 is meshed with the toothed disc 18. By pulling the control pull bar 14, the toothed disc 18 can be controlled to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 182 to rotate, so that the worm 181 rotates, and the rotary drive is converted into a linear drive. Since the rotary drive will generate torque during disassembly, the terminal guide column 11 and the conductive terminal 22 will become loose, but when it becomes a linear drive force, it will follow the direction of plugging and unplugging the plug. The direction of the force is not torsion but linear, and the cooperation between the terminal guide column 11 and the conductive terminal 22 will not be loosened due to torque due to frequent plugging and unplugging. At the same time, since it is not directly driven, the hidden danger of electric shock during plugging and unplugging can be avoided;

[0024] A through hole 13 is provided on one side of the charging plug 1. A control pull bar 14 is bent and passes through the through hole 13. One end of the control pull bar 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the charging plug 1. When disassembling, the control pull bar 14 is pulled outward to move. When charging, the control pull bar 14 is pushed inward to move, which can drive the worm 181 to rotate forward or reverse. At the same time, when charging, the control pull bar 14 is embedded inside it to prevent children from touching it by mistake.

[0025] A lateral limit assembly 4 is correspondingly provided on both sides of the charging plug 1. The lateral limit assembly 4 includes a contact plate 47. A U-shaped groove 41 is provided on one side of the charging plug 1. The inner wall of the U-shaped groove 41 is rotatably connected to a support arm 45 through a bearing. An adjustment shaft 46 is sleeved inside one end of the support arm 45. Contact plates 47 are connected to both ends of the adjustment shaft 46. The contact plate 47 contacts the side wall of the charging socket 2. When the angle of the support arm 45 is adjusted, the contact plate 47 will be attached to the charging socket 2 for clamping, so as to prevent the left and right shaking of the charging plug 1 and the charging socket 2. When charging is completed, the support arm 45 is manually pulled toward the edge so that the contact plate 47 no longer blocks the movement of the charging plug 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the charging process from the outer ear.

[0026] One side of the U-shaped groove 41 is recessed inwardly to form an extension groove 42, and a square block 43 is slidably installed inside the extension groove 42. The square block 43 and the support arm 45 are a matching structure, and a shift block 44 is connected to the top of the square block 43. By pulling the shift block 44, the square block 43 blocks the movement of the support arm 45, thereby limiting the lateral position of the charging plug 1, so that it always faces forward and is clamped, increasing the force point, and preventing the loosening phenomenon caused by the force applied by shaking left and right when plugging and unplugging;

[0027] The length of the terminal guide column 11 is greater than the depth of the circular hole 21, and the flexible belt 12 does not contact the side wall of the charging socket 2. The conductive terminal 22 has a small thermal expansion and contraction performance. When the conductive terminal 22 is heated and expanded, the gap 111 is opened. When the circuit is short-circuited, due to the increase of current, the conductive terminal 22 is heated and expanded to force the terminal guide column 11 to open, so that the conductive material on the inner wall of the terminal guide column 11 is separated, and the internal power circuit is directly disconnected, which is convenient for preventing short-circuit damage to the car and improving safety.
