[0002] An electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that is powered by a vehicle-mounted power source and travels by driving wheels through an electric motor. The vehicle-mounted power source is mainly a storage battery. In order to maintain sufficient driving range of the electric vehicle, the storage battery needs to be charged frequently.

[0003] When charging the storage battery on the electric vehicle, the charging of the electric vehicle is usually carried out by inserting a charging gun in a parking lot into the charging port of the electric vehicle.

[0055] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The emergency mechanism 5 comprises an emergency plate 51, an emergency shaft 52, an emergency gear one 53 and an emergency gear two 54. The emergency shaft 52 is rotatably installed in the lower cover 1 close to the pin shaft 41. The emergency gear one 53 is rotatably installed on the emergency shaft 52.

[0056] With reference to Figure 4 An emergency block one 521 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the emergency shaft 52 close to the emergency gear one 53. An emergency block two 531 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the emergency gear two 54. The emergency block one 521 and the emergency block two 531 are in contact.

[0057] With reference to Figure 5 An emergency slot 522 is formed in the end of the emergency shaft 52 away from the emergency gear one 53. An emergency post is fixedly installed on the side wall of the emergency plate 51, and the emergency post is inserted into the emergency slot 522.

[0058] With reference to Figure 6When the pin shaft 41 rotates under the drive of the electric gear four 315, the pin shaft 41 drives the emergency gear two 54 to rotate, so that the emergency gear two 54 drives the emergency gear one 53 to rotate, thereby making the emergency gear one 53 rotate around the emergency shaft 52 and drive the emergency block two 531 to rotate around the emergency shaft 52.

[0061] When the electric lock in the locked state is damaged, the emergency plate 51 is rotated to rotate the emergency shaft 52, thereby making the emergency shaft 52 drive the emergency gear one 53 to rotate through the emergency block one 521, so that the emergency gear one 53 drives the emergency gear two 54 to rotate, thereby driving the pin shaft 41 to rotate, thereby making the insertion column 43 retract into the lower cover 1, thereby releasing the positioning state.

[0062] Embodiment two:

[0063] With reference to Figure 7 And Figure 8The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment one is that the pin shaft 41 is slidably connected with the electric control gear four 315, the emergency mechanism 5 comprises an emergency block 55, an emergency gear 56 and a disengaging plate 57, the emergency gear 56 is installed at the end of the pin shaft 41 away from the electric control gear four 315. The emergency block 55 is slidably installed in the lower cover 1 close to the emergency gear 56, and one end of the emergency block 55 extends out of the lower cover 1, the emergency block 55 is fixedly installed with an emergency rack 551 close to the emergency gear 56, the emergency rack 551 is separated from the emergency gear 56 in the initial state, and the emergency rack 551 is engaged with the emergency gear 56 when emergency unlocking is needed. The disengaging plate 57 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the emergency block 55, the disengaging plate 57 is fixedly installed with a disengaging block 571 on the side wall, the pin shaft 41 is fixedly installed with a limiting plate 58 close to the disengaging block 571, and the side wall of the disengaging block 571 is in contact with the side wall of the limiting plate 58. The pin shaft 41 is further sleeved with a spring 510, one end of the spring 510 is in contact with the side wall of the limiting plate 58, and the other end is in contact with the lower cover 1.

[0064] With reference to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the emergency gear 56 is connected with the pin shaft 41 through a connecting piece 59.

[0065] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the connecting piece 59 comprises a connecting tooth 591 and a connecting claw 592, the connecting tooth 591 is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the emergency gear 56, one end of the connecting claw 592 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the pin shaft 41, and the other end is inserted into the tooth groove of the connecting tooth 591. The side wall of the pin shaft 41 is fixedly installed with a connecting piece 593 close to the connecting claw 592, the connecting piece 593 is an elastic piece, and one end of the connecting piece 593 is in contact with the side wall of the connecting claw 592. The side wall of the pin shaft 41 is fixedly installed with a limiting column 413 on the other side of the connecting claw 592, and the side wall of the limiting column 413 is in contact with the side wall of the connecting claw 592.

[0066] With reference to Figure 9 and Figure 11When the electric lock works normally, the electric control gear four 315 drives the pin shaft 41 to rotate counterclockwise, the connecting claw 592 is inserted into the tooth groove of the connecting tooth 591, and the rotation of the connecting claw 592 is limited by the limiting column 413, so that the connecting claw 592 drives the connecting tooth 591 to rotate, thereby driving the emergency gear 56 to rotate, since the emergency gear 56 is separated from the emergency gear 56, the emergency gear 56 does not act at this time, and the pin shaft 41 drives the insertion column 43 to extend out of the lower cover 1, thereby positioning. When the pin shaft 41 drives the insertion column 43 to retract, the pin shaft 41 drives the connecting claw 592 to rotate reversely relative to the connecting tooth 591, so that the pin shaft 41 drives the connecting claw 592 to rotate relative to the connecting tooth 591, and the claw tip of the connecting claw 592 slides along the side wall of the connecting tooth 591, so that the emergency gear 56 does not rotate, at this time, the emergency gear 56 is separated from the emergency gear 56, and the emergency gear 551 does not act. When the insertion column 43 is unlocked, the pin shaft 41 stops rotating.

[0067] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 When in the locked state and the electric lock fails, the emergency block 55 is pushed into the lower cover 1, so that the disengaging block 571 abuts against the side wall of the limiting plate 58, and the limiting plate 58 is pushed away from the emergency gear 56, thereby driving the pin shaft 41 to move away from the electric control gear four 315, so that the pin shaft 41 slides along the rotation axis of the electric control gear four 315, and the pin shaft 41 is connected with the electric control gear four 315, so that the pin shaft 41 can rotate relative to the electric control gear four 315.

[0068] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the process that the disengaging block 571 controls the pin shaft 41 to slide through the limiting plate 58, the emergency gear 551 gradually moves from the direction away from the emergency gear 56 to contact the emergency gear 56, then the emergency gear 551 is engaged with the emergency gear 56, and in the process that the emergency gear 551 continues to move into the lower cover 1, the emergency gear 551 drives the emergency gear 56 to rotate, so that the emergency gear 56 drives the connecting tooth 591 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting claw 592 inserted into the tooth groove of the connecting tooth 591 to rotate, at this time, the connecting claw 592 is limited by the limiting column 413 and cannot rotate, thereby making the connecting tooth 591 drive the pin shaft 41 to rotate, thereby making the pin shaft 41 drive the insertion column 43 to retract to the unlocking position, completing the unlocking action.

[0069] Referring to Figure 12 The side wall of the electric control gear four 315 is fixedly installed with a connecting block 316, and the side wall of the side of the connecting block 316 away from the electric control gear four 315 is fixedly installed with a connecting shaft 317.

[0070] Referring to Figure 9The pin shaft 41 is provided with a butt joint groove 411 near one end of the electric control gear four 315, the butt joint groove 411 is provided with a sliding groove 412 on the groove bottom wall, the connecting column is inserted into the butt joint groove 411, and the connecting shaft 317 is slidingly installed in the sliding groove 412.

[0071] With reference to Figure 9 and Figure 12 The electric control gear four 315 drives the pin shaft 41 to rotate through the connecting block 316, so that the pin shaft 41 drives the connecting rod 42 to rotate, thereby realizing the positioning and unpositioning states. When the pin shaft 41 slides along the connecting shaft 317 to separate the connecting block 316 from the butt joint groove 411, the connecting shaft 317 is still located in the sliding groove 412, and the pin shaft 41 can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 317.

[0072] The working principle of the embodiment of the application is as follows: when the electric lock works normally, the electric control gear four 315 rotates under the action of the motor 311, so that the electric control gear four 315 drives the pin shaft 41 to rotate through the connecting block 316, thereby driving the pin shaft 41 to drive the connecting rod 42 to rotate, thereby driving the insertion column 43 to extend out of the lower cover 1 and complete the positioning. At this time, in the process of rotating the pin shaft 41, the pin shaft 41 drives the connecting claw 592 to slide along the connecting tooth 591, so that the emergency gear 56 does not rotate. When the insertion column 43 is retracted, the pin shaft 41 drives the connecting claw 592 to rotate, so that the connecting claw 592 is inserted into the tooth groove of the connecting tooth 591 and drives the connecting tooth 591 to rotate, thereby driving the emergency gear 56 to rotate. At this time, the emergency rack 551 on the emergency block 55 is in the initial position, and the emergency rack 551 is not engaged with the emergency gear 56, so that the emergency rack 551 does not act.

[0073] When the electric lock in the locked state fails, the emergency block 55 is pushed into the lower cover 1, so that the disengaging block 571 drives the limiting plate 58 to move, thereby separating the butt joint groove 411 from the connecting block 316, and the emergency rack 551 on the emergency block 55 is engaged with the emergency gear 56, so that the emergency rack 551 drives the emergency gear 56 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting tooth 591 to rotate. At this time, the connecting claw 592 is inserted into the tooth groove of the connecting tooth 591, so that the connecting tooth 591 can drive the connecting claw 592 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting claw 592 to drive the pin shaft 41 to rotate, thereby driving the insertion column 43 to retract into the lower cover 1, thereby unblocking the state.

[0074] The above is the preferred embodiment of the application, which does not limit the protection scope of the application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
