Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, specifically to a socket, vehicle, and charging pile with auxiliary plugging / unplugging function. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicle technology, new energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular. During the use of electric vehicles, charging is an unavoidable issue for users, and a good charging experience is the consistent pursuit of electric vehicle manufacturers.

[0003] However, with the development of charging technology, especially high-power charging, charging guns and cables have become increasingly complex and heavier, leading to a deterioration in the user experience. Specifically, inserting and removing the charging gun from its socket or empty slot requires significant arm strain, causing considerable inconvenience, particularly for women with less strength. Existing technologies for assisting with charging gun insertion and removal require improvements not only to the charging socket structure but also to the charging gun itself, resulting in limited versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Currently, when using a charging gun, users need to exert considerable force to pull out and insert the gun, resulting in a poor user experience. Existing charging gun sockets with auxiliary insertion / removal functions require compatibility with charging guns that employ special structures (non-standard charging guns), leading to poor universality.

[0005] Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention provides a socket with an auxiliary plugging and unplugging function, including a socket body, a receiving module, a driving component and a controller;

[0006] The socket body is a base with a socket cavity. The receiving module is used to receive an entry signal or exit signal sent by the insertion / extraction detection sensor, an arrival signal sent by the arrival detection sensor, and a request signal sent by the request trigger module to remove the target object from the socket cavity. The controller is used to output a corresponding drive control signal according to the signal sent by the receiving module. The drive component can adjust its working state according to the drive control signal to drive the target object into or out of the socket cavity.

[0007] The insertion / removal detection sensor is used to detect signals of the target object entering or exiting the opening end of the socket cavity; the positioning detection sensor is used to detect signals of the target object being inserted into a preset position in the socket cavity; and the request triggering module is used to receive a request signal to remove the target object from the socket cavity.

[0020] The driving member has a first state that protrudes into the inner cavity of the socket and a second state that does not protrude into the inner cavity of the socket. The driving member can switch between the first state and the second state under the drive of the driving mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes mounting through holes;

[0022] The mounting through hole is provided on the side wall of the socket cavity, the driving member is wholly or partially housed in the mounting through hole, and the driving mechanism is provided on the outer side wall of the socket cavity.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a pneumatic motor, a hydraulic motor, and an electric motor.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving element includes a driving cam.

[0025] Furthermore, the distance the target object moves within the socket cavity is an integer multiple of the single movement distance of the target object in the first state.

[0030] The drive mechanism can switch its operating state according to the received drive control signal to adjust the drive component to the second state.

[0031] Furthermore, there are multiple driving components, which are spaced apart along the sidewall of the socket cavity.

[0049] Example:

[0050] This specification discloses a socket with auxiliary plugging and unplugging function, which can be applied in various scenarios where assisted plugging and unplugging is required, such as car wash water guns and fuel nozzles. This specification is not limited to these. This specification uses the charging gun socket as an example for illustration.

[0051] Figure 1(a) is a perspective view of the charging gun socket from one viewing angle provided in the embodiment of this specification, and Figure 1(b) is a perspective view of the charging gun socket from another viewing angle provided in the embodiment of this specification. As shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b), the socket with auxiliary insertion and removal function proposed in the embodiment of this specification includes a socket body 1, a receiving module, a driving component, and a controller. The socket body 1 is a base with a socket cavity. The receiving module is used to receive the entry signal or exit signal sent by the insertion and removal detection sensor 2, the position signal sent by the position detection sensor 3, and the request signal sent by the request trigger module to remove the target object 4 from the socket cavity. The controller is used to output a corresponding driving control signal according to the signal sent by the receiving module. The driving component can adjust its working state according to the driving control signal to drive the target object 4 into or out of the socket cavity.

[0052] Among them, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 is used to detect the signal of the target object 4 entering or exiting the opening end of the socket cavity, the position detection sensor 3 is used to detect the signal of the target object 4 being inserted into the preset position of the socket cavity, and the request trigger module is used to receive the request signal to remove the target object 4 from the socket cavity.

[0053] The receiving module, driving component, and controller are all mounted on the socket body 1; the receiving module and driving component are electrically connected to the controller.

[0054] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the charging gun socket and the charging gun being plugged in, as provided in the embodiments of this specification. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, when the target object 4 just enters the socket cavity, it triggers the insertion / removal detection sensor 2. The sensor sends an entry signal to the controller, which includes the direction of movement of the target object 4. At this time, the target object 4 is moving towards the bottom of the socket cavity. The drive assembly can switch from its current state to a working state that applies a force to the target object 4 in the same direction as its movement, under the control of the controller. In other words, when the charging gun head is inserted into the charging socket cavity, the charging socket cavity provides a pulling force to the charging gun to enter the charging socket cavity, causing the charging gun to automatically insert into the charging socket cavity or with a smaller insertion force.

[0055] Specifically, as soon as the target object 4 exits the socket cavity, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 sends a withdrawal signal to the controller. The withdrawal signal includes the direction of movement of the target object 4, which is towards the opening end of the socket cavity. The drive assembly can then stop operating under the control of the controller.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the interaction between the charging gun socket and the charging gun as provided in the embodiments of this specification. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly drags the charging gun tip into the inner cavity of the charging socket until the tip is fully inserted and triggers the positioning sensor 3. Once the charging gun is fully inserted, the drive assembly stops operating. When the charging gun is fully inserted, it triggers the positioning sensor 3 located at the bottom of the socket cavity. The positioning sensor 3 sends a positioning signal to the controller. The drive assembly stops operating upon receiving the corresponding drive control signal from the controller.

[0057] In some embodiments, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 is disposed on the socket body 1, and is electrically and / or communicatively connected to the receiving module. For example, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 includes an optocoupler sensor; the optocoupler sensor is disposed on the inner wall of the socket cavity, and is located near the opening end of the socket cavity. Alternatively, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 can also be disposed in other areas outside the socket body 1, for example, the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 can be disposed on the target object 4 (charging gun body).

[0058] In some embodiments, the position detection sensor 3 is disposed on the socket body 1, and the position detection sensor 3 is electrically and / or communicatively connected to the receiving module. For example, the position detection sensor 3 includes a contact signal switch disposed at the bottom of the socket cavity.

[0059] In some embodiments, the request triggering module is disposed on the socket body 1, and the request triggering module is electrically connected and / or communicatively connected to the receiving module.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1(b), in some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a drive mechanism 5 and a drive member 6. The drive mechanism 5 is electrically connected to the controller, and the drive mechanism 5 is drively connected to the drive member 6 via an output shaft. Specifically, the drive mechanism 5 includes, but is not limited to, a pneumatic motor, a hydraulic motor, and an electric motor. The drive member 6 has a first state protruding into the inner cavity of the socket and a second state not protruding into the inner cavity of the socket. The drive member 6 can switch between the first state and the second state under the drive of the drive mechanism 5. Specifically, the drive member 6 includes, but is not limited to, a drive cam, a rack, etc.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1(a) and 1(b). A mounting through hole is provided on the side wall of the socket cavity. The driving component 6 is wholly or partially housed within the mounting through hole. The driving component 6 can be as follows: Figure 2 The driving cam shown in the diagram, 6, is perpendicular to the axial direction of the socket cavity. The driving mechanism 5 is located on the outer wall of the socket cavity and is adjacent to the mounting through hole. The output shaft of the driving mechanism 5 is located outside the mounting through hole and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the socket cavity. The driving component 6 can also be other types, and the connection relationship between the driving component 6, the driving mechanism 5, and the socket cavity can be configured according to actual needs.

[0062] In some embodiments, the distance the target 4 moves within the socket cavity is an integer multiple of the single movement distance of the target 4 in the first state.

[0063] Figure 4(a) is a schematic diagram of the position of the drive cam in the first state provided by the embodiment of this specification, and Figure 4(b) is a schematic diagram of the position of the drive cam in the second state provided by the embodiment of this specification. Specifically, as shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), in the first state, the drive cam protrudes into the inner cavity of the socket, and the drive cam contacts the charging gun inserted into the inner cavity of the socket to drive the charging gun to move towards the bottom of the inner cavity of the socket. In the second state, the drive cam 6 does not protrude into the inner cavity of the socket.

[0064] When the user needs to unplug the charging gun, the user presses the mechanical button 7 of the charging gun to trigger the request trigger module. Here, the request trigger module can be the gun end signal switch 8. The drive mechanism 5 drives the drive cam 2 to rotate in the opposite direction and exit the charging gun head 6 until the gun head 6 triggers the optocoupler sensor 3 again. At this time, the drive cam returns to the second state shown in Figure 4(b).

[0065] In practical applications, when the charging gun leaves the socket cavity, there is a possibility that the drive cam may not return to the second state shown in Figure 4(b). To enable the drive cam to automatically return to the second state, in some embodiments, a return-to-center detection sensor is also provided on the socket. The return-to-center detection sensor is electrically and / or communicatively connected to the controller and is located on the socket body 1 or the drive assembly. Specifically, the return-to-center detection sensor includes a pressure sensor, which is located on the output shaft. Other types of sensors can also be used herein.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the controller receives a signal from the insertion / removal detection sensor 2 indicating that the target object 4 has exited the opening of the socket cavity, it sends a return-to-center status detection request to the return-to-center detection sensor. The return-to-center detection sensor, in response to the return-to-center status detection request, detects the return-to-center status of the drive unit 6 and sends the return-to-center status detection result to the receiving module. The receiving module receives the return-to-center status detection result returned by the return-to-center detection sensor and sends the return-to-center status detection result to the controller. The controller sends a corresponding drive control signal to the drive mechanism 5 according to the return-to-center status detection result sent by the receiving module. The drive mechanism 5 switches its operating state according to the received drive control signal to adjust the drive unit 6 to the second state.

[0067] In some embodiments, there are multiple drive components, which are spaced apart along the sidewall of the socket cavity so as to apply forces to the target 4 from multiple directions simultaneously in the same direction as its movement.

[0068] To prevent the target object 4 from shifting under the force of the driving component and failing to align properly with the interface located at the bottom of the socket cavity, multiple insertion and removal assistance modules can be arranged in a circular array of one row and multiple columns along the circumferential direction on the side wall of the charging socket cavity, with the axis of the circular array coinciding with the axis of the socket cavity.

[0069] To further reduce the load on the user's arm when inserting or removing the target object 4 from the socket, a multi-row, multi-column circular array can also be used in this paper. As the number of drive components in the circular array increases, the force on the target object 4 is greater, so the load on the user's arm when inserting or removing the target object 4 from the socket is also smaller. By adjusting the number, arrangement, and force provided by the drive components, automatic insertion and removal can also be achieved.

[0070] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the embodiments of this specification and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the embodiments of this specification. Other types of sensors can also be applied in this document.

[0071] This specification also proposes a charging pile, including a charging gun and a charging socket, wherein the charging socket is a socket with auxiliary plugging and unplugging function as proposed in the above embodiments.

[0072] This specification also provides an embodiment of a vehicle, including a charging socket, which is a socket with auxiliary plugging and unplugging function as described in the above embodiment.

[0073] As can be seen from the above-described embodiments of the socket, vehicle, and charging pile with auxiliary plugging / unplugging function, the embodiments of this specification have the following beneficial effects:

[0074] 1. The socket with auxiliary insertion and removal function proposed in the embodiments of this specification includes a socket body 1 and an insertion and removal detection sensor 2, a position detection sensor 3, a receiving module, a driving component and a controller disposed on the socket body 1. Without making any changes to the target object 4 (such as a national standard charging gun head), users can more easily and effortlessly drag the target object 4 into and out of the socket cavity, thereby realizing the function of assisted insertion and removal of the target object 4, which has extremely high versatility.

[0075] 2. The socket with auxiliary insertion and removal function proposed in the embodiments of this specification can assist the target object 4 in inserting and removing it from the socket cavity. In scenarios where the target object 4 is heavy and the user's arm needs to bear a large load, it can achieve a smaller insertion and removal force or automatically insert and remove it from the socket cavity, greatly improving the user experience.
