[0002] Electrical connectors, as important connecting components in electrical systems, are widely used in fields such as integrated circuits and electric vehicles.

[0003] Currently, electrical connectors primarily use sockets and plugs for mechanical connection. The contact resistance between the plug and socket depends on the normal force and contact area on the contact surfaces. After repeated insertion and removal, the elasticity of the socket's contacts decreases or slight plastic deformation occurs, causing a decrease in normal force, leading to an increase in contact resistance, or even an open circuit. If the contact resistance between the socket and plug is too high, a large amount of heat will be generated after current flows, causing thermal failure of the connector, or even fire.

[0050] This invention provides an electrical connector for use with a plug 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the electrical connector includes a housing 101 and a plug-in structure. A cavity is formed inside the housing 101, and the housing 101 includes an end that communicates with the cavity and the external environment. The plug-in structure includes a first valve 102 and a second valve 104. The first valve 102 is located at the end and isolates the cavity from the external environment. The first valve 102 has a sealing interface 103 for making tight contact with the plug 100 when it is connected. The second valve 104 is located inside the housing 101 and is spaced apart from the first valve 102. The first valve 102 and the second valve 104 divide the cavity from the inside to the outside into a first sub-cavity 01 and a second sub-cavity 02. The first sub-cavity 01 is filled with a liquid conductive medium. The second valve 104 is used to abut against the plug 100 after the plug 100 is connected through the sealing interface 103, so as to release the liquid conductive medium into the second sub-cavity 02 and make contact with the plug 100.

[0051] Specifically, when the connector 100 is inserted, it first enters the second sub-cavity 02 through the sealed interface 103 of the first valve 102, and then abuts against the second valve 104, causing the liquid conductive medium in the first sub-cavity 01 to flow into the second sub-cavity 02 and come into contact with the connector 100, thereby establishing a connection between the liquid conductive medium and the connector 100. Because the sealed interface 103 can make tight contact with the connector 100 when it is inserted, the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 will not flow out through the sealed interface 103, but will instead make full contact with the connector 100.

[0052] It can be understood that after the connector 100 comes into contact with the second valve 104, the liquid conductive medium discharged is sufficient to reach the liquid level threshold of the second sub-cavity 02, thus enabling it to contact the connector 100; or the second sub-cavity 02 stores a liquid conductive medium other than the liquid conductive medium discharged from the first sub-cavity 01, and the superposition of the two liquid conductive media allows the conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 to reach the liquid level threshold, thus enabling it to contact the connector 100; or the discharged liquid conductive medium is sufficient to reach the liquid level threshold of the second sub-cavity 02, and the second sub-cavity 02 also stores a liquid conductive medium other than the liquid conductive medium discharged from the first sub-cavity 01, so that the conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 can exceed the liquid level threshold, thereby improving the contact effect between the liquid conductive medium and the connector 100. The two liquid conductive media can be of the same type; the conductive medium can fully contact the connector 100 when it reaches the liquid level threshold.

[0053] In this embodiment, the diameter of the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102 can be equal to the diameter of the plug 100, allowing the plug 100 to be inserted and to make tight contact with the sealing interface 103. In one embodiment, the sealing interface 103 may also be provided with an elastic sealing ring. When the plug 100 is not inserted, the diameter of the elastic sealing ring is smaller than that of the plug 100. When the plug 100 is inserted, the elastic sealing ring can be expanded by the plug 100 to allow the plug 100 to be inserted and to maintain tight contact with it. This not only secures the plug 100 but also prevents the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 from flowing out of the sealing interface 103. Furthermore, when the sealing interface 103 is provided with an elastic sealing ring, the diameter of the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102 can be larger than the diameter of the plug 100. The elastic sealing ring provides a sealing effect and eliminates stress between the sealing interface 103 and the plug 100.

[0054] Specifically, electrical connectors can be connected to external cables to connect the liquid conductive medium to the external cables, thereby enabling the liquid conductive medium to access external circuits. This is possible when there is only one end and only one connector is inserted into the end (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this connector can be connected to an external circuit through a liquid conductive medium.

[0055] The electrical connector of this embodiment establishes an electrical connection by using a liquid conductive medium to contact the plug 100. Since the main materials of the socket and plug are nickel-plated copper or tin-plated copper, after long-term use, the inner copper will diffuse to the surface of the plating. The copper that diffuses to the surface is easily oxidized by air, forming copper oxide deposits with poor conductivity, thereby increasing the contact resistance. In addition, the contact resistance may also increase due to the possible decrease in the positive pressure of the contact surface when the socket and plug are connected. Compared with ordinary sockets, the electrical connector of this embodiment uses the fluidity of liquid to reduce the contact resistance when connected to the plug 100, and can also release the contact stress with the plug 100, avoiding the situation where the socket and plug are momentarily loosened and cause a partial circuit break during large vibrations or collisions.

[0056] In one embodiment, the number of ends and plug-in structures are the same and there are multiple of them, with each plug-in structure corresponding to each end.

[0057] For example, the housing 101 may have two ends, in which case there are also two plug-in structures, that is, the number of the first valve 102 and the second valve 104 are also two each, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector can connect two plugs 100, thus establishing an electrical connection between the two plugs 100. In one embodiment, the end of the housing 101 may include three valves, in which case the number of the first valve 102 and the second valve 104 are also three, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, the connector can connect to three plugs 100, thus establishing an electrical connection between the three plugs 100. It should be understood that... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two cases of the specific number of ends, first valve 102 and second valve 104 are only shown as examples. In fact, there can be multiple valves to establish a connection between multiple connectors.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second valve 104 may include a valve body 1041 and a valve core. A transition chamber 03 is formed in the valve body 1041. The transition chamber 03 communicates with the first sub-cavity 01. The valve core is used to connect the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02 when it abuts against the plug 100, so that the liquid conductive medium flows into the second sub-cavity 02.

[0059] It is understood that the valve core is located inside the valve body 1041. In the initial state, the valve core isolates the transition chamber 03 from the second sub-cavity 02 and can have elasticity. When the connector 100 abuts against the valve core and causes the valve core to contract, the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02 are connected.

[0060] In one embodiment, the valve core may include a valve cap 1042 and a spring 1043. The spring 1043 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the valve body 1041. The valve cap 1042 is connected to the second end. The valve cap 1042 is used to isolate the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02, and retracts and compresses the spring 1043 when it abuts against the connector 100 to connect the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02.

[0061] It can be understood that one end of the spring 1043 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1041, and the other end is fixedly connected to the valve cap 1042. In the initial state, due to the elastic force of the spring 1043, the valve cap 1042 is located between the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02, thus isolating the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02. Figure 4 As shown; when the connector 100 abuts against the valve cap 1042, the valve cap 1042 retracts under the pressure of the connector 100 and compresses the spring 1043, thereby connecting the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02. A schematic diagram of the connector 100 abutting against the valve cap 1042 can be found in the diagram. Figure 5 As shown.

[0062] In one embodiment, the valve core may include a valve cap 1042, a spring 1043, and a valve tube 1044, such as Figure 6 As shown, the spring 1043 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the valve body 1041. The valve cap 1042 is connected to the second end. The valve cap 1042 is used to isolate the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02. When it abuts against the connector 100, it retracts and compresses the spring 1043 to connect the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02. A portion of the transition chamber 03 is formed in the cavity of the valve tube 1044. The spring 1043 passes through the cavity of the valve tube 1044. One end of the valve tube 1044 is fixedly connected to the valve cap 1042, and the end connected to the valve cap 1042 has a through hole 1045.

[0063] It is understood that the liquid conductive medium inside the cavity of valve tube 1044 can flow through the through hole 1045 to the transition chamber 03 outside the cavity of valve tube 1044. In the initial state, due to the elastic force of spring 1043, valve cap 1042 is located between transition chamber 03 and second sub-cavity 02, isolating transition chamber 03 and second sub-cavity 02. Figure 6 As shown; when the connector 100 abuts against the valve cap 1042, under the pressure of the connector 100, the valve cap 1042 and the valve tube 1044 retract and compress the spring 1043, thereby connecting the transition chamber 03 and the second sub-cavity 02. A schematic diagram of the connector 100 abutting against the valve cap 1042 can be found in the diagram. Figure 7 As shown.

[0064] The valve tube 1044 and the valve cap 1042 can be integrally formed. The valve tube 1044 can be used to limit the movement direction of the spring 1043. For example, the diameter of the valve tube 1044 can be set so that the movement direction of the spring 1043 is parallel to the movement direction of the connector 100. In addition, the valve tube 1044 can also be used to limit the maximum depth of the connector 100 when it is inserted. For example, the length of the valve tube 1044 can be set so that when the connector 100 reaches the maximum depth, the first sub-cavity 01 and the second sub-cavity 02 can still be connected through the transition chamber 03.

[0065] In one embodiment, the first valve 102 is further provided with a liquid injection port 1021 for injecting a liquid conductive medium.

[0066] It is understandable that, to avoid insufficient liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02, which would prevent adequate contact with the connector 100, an injection port 1021 can be opened in the first valve 102 to inject additional liquid conductive medium. Figure 1 For example, in the embodiment, the first valve 102 with an injection port 1021 can be referred to. Figure 8 As shown. In addition, the injection port 1021 can also be used to extract the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02.

[0067] In one embodiment, the liquid conductive medium may be a low-melting-point conductive medium.

[0068] It is understood that low-melting-point conductive media are solid at low temperatures and liquid at high temperatures. Therefore, the temperature of the low-melting-point conductive media can be increased during the insertion process of the connector 100 to keep it in a liquid state, and the temperature can be decreased after insertion is complete or before insertion to keep it in a solid state. This ensures its stability, improves the stability of its connection with the connector 100, and prevents the low-melting-point conductive media from overflowing. Examples of low-melting-point conductive media include mercury, gallium, sodium-potassium alloys, and tin-bismuth alloys.

[0069] This invention also provides an electrical connection device, including a plug 100 and an electrical connector of any of the above embodiments.

[0070] This invention also provides an electrical connection method for use in an electrical connection device. The method includes inserting a plug 100 into the sealed interface 103 of a first valve 102 and abutting against a second valve 104 to release a liquid conductive medium into a second sub-cavity 02 and into contact with the plug 100.

[0071] It is understood that when the connector 100 is inserted, it first enters the second sub-cavity 02 through the sealed interface 103 of the first valve 102, and then abuts against the second valve 104, causing the liquid conductive medium in the first sub-cavity 01 to flow into the second sub-cavity 02 and come into contact with the connector 100, thereby establishing a connection between the liquid conductive medium and the connector 100. Because the sealed interface 103 can make tight contact with the connector 100 when it is inserted, the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 will not flow out through the sealed interface 103, but will instead make full contact with the connector 100.

[0072] In one embodiment, the first sub-cavity 01 is filled with a low-melting-point conductive medium. Before inserting the connector 100 into the sealed interface 103 of the first valve 102 and abutting against the second valve 104, the method further includes heating the first sub-cavity 01 to convert the low-melting-point conductive medium into the liquid conductive medium.

[0073] It is understandable that low-melting-point conductive media are solid at low temperatures and liquid at high temperatures. Therefore, the temperature of the low-melting-point conductive media can be increased during the insertion of the connector 100, causing it to be in a liquid state. Due to the low melting point characteristic of the low-melting-point conductive media, it can be easily stored at low temperatures and can achieve low-resistance connections at higher temperatures.

[0074] In one embodiment, when the first valve 102 is provided with a liquid injection port 1021, the method further includes injecting a liquid conductive medium into the second sub-cavity 02 through the liquid injection port 1021.

[0075] It is understandable that, in order to avoid insufficient liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02, which would prevent it from making full contact with the connector 100, additional liquid conductive medium can be injected through the injection port 1021 after the first valve 102 is inserted into the connector 100.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further includes heating the electrical connector to obtain a liquid conductive medium, then pulling the connector 100 away from the second valve 104 to stop the second valve 104 from releasing the liquid conductive medium into the second sub-cavity 02, and finally extracting the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 through the injection port 1021, and then pulling the connector 100 out of the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102.

[0077] It is understandable that when the connector 100 is inserted into the electrical connector, the low-melting-point conductive medium inside the electrical connector may be solid due to the influence of the external ambient temperature. At this time, the connector 100 is fixed inside the electrical connector by the low-melting-point conductive medium and cannot be pulled out. Therefore, the low-melting-point conductive medium can be converted into a liquid state by heating, and then the connector 100 can be pulled away from the second valve 104 so that the second valve 104 stops releasing the liquid conductive medium into the second sub-cavity 02. Then, the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 is extracted through the injection port 1021. After the liquid conductive medium is extracted, the connector 100 is pulled out from the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102. This can prevent the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 from flowing out with the connector 100 when the connector 100 is pulled out from the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102.

[0078] In one embodiment, if the low-melting-point conductive medium in the electrical connector is liquid, the connector 100 can be directly pulled away from the second valve 104 so that the second valve 104 stops releasing the liquid conductive medium into the second sub-cavity 02. Finally, the liquid conductive medium in the second sub-cavity 02 is extracted through the injection port 1021, and then the connector 100 is pulled out of the sealing interface 103 of the first valve 102.

[0079] This invention also provides an electrical connection device, which includes the electrical connection apparatus of any of the above embodiments, and a controller. The controller includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of any of the above electrical connection methods.
