A quick disconnect device for a high voltage wire harness of an electric vehicle as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that: The disengagement mechanism comprises guide slide bars (16) fixed on both sides of the plug (1); a slider (17) slidably connected to the guide slide bars (16) is provided on the socket (2); a compression spring (18) is sleeved on the guide slide bars (16) for driving the slider (17) to slide on the guide slide bars (16) in a direction away from the plug (1); one end of the compression spring (18) is fixed on the plug (1), and the other end of the compression spring (18) is a free end.
8. A high-voltage wire harness quick release device for electric vehicles as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that: The plug hole (4) on the socket (2) is retracted into the internal cavity of the socket (2); the internal cavity of the socket (2) is slidably connected with an insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19) that closes the plug interface of the socket (2); the insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19) is provided with an escape hole that exposes the plug hole (4); when the plug (1) pops out of the socket (2), the insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19) closes the plug interface of the socket (2).
9. A quick disconnect device for a high voltage wire harness of an electric vehicle as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that: The internal cavity of the socket (2) is provided with a push spring (20) for driving the insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19) to move toward the plug interface of the socket (2), an inner insulating sleeve fixed on the socket (2), and an outer insulating sleeve fixed on the insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19), the inner insulating sleeve and the outer insulating sleeve being coaxially slidably connected to each other, and the push spring (20) is located inside the inner insulating sleeve and the outer insulating sleeve.
10. A high voltage wire harness quick release device for electric vehicles as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that: A plurality of arc-extinguishing plates spaced apart from each other are arranged in the avoidance hole of the insulating arc-extinguishing plug (19).
