DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention is described in detail below, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. 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.

[0032] The present invention provides an electric vehicle converter quick replacement device through improvement. The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a quick replacement device for an electric vehicle converter, including a converter body 1, to which two cables 2 for input and output are connected, respectively, and the two cables 2 are connected to the converter body 1 through a quick-release connection mechanism, and the quick-release connection mechanism includes a plug 4 connected to one end of the cable 2 and a plug shell 5 arranged on the outside of the converter body 1, one side of the plug 4 is provided with a plurality of conductive plugs 6, and a partition 11 is fixed on the inner side of the plug shell 5, and a plug tube 7 is fixed on one side of the partition 11 at a position corresponding to each conductive plug 6, and the inner side of each plug tube 7 is symmetrically provided with two conductive plugs electrically connected to the converter body 1. The conductive clip 9 connected thereto; a rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected thereto through the center position of the partition 11, a tightening and locking mechanism is arranged between one end of the rotating rod 10 and the plug 4, and a clip pressing mechanism for driving each pair of conductive clips 9 to be merged is arranged between the other end of the rotating rod 10 and the partition 11, a driving mechanism for driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate is arranged at the other end of the rotating rod 10, and the driving mechanism comprises two brackets 303 fixed on the inner side of the plug shell 5 and a worm gear 302 fixed at one end of the rotating rod 10, a worm 301 meshing with the worm gear 302 is rotatably connected between the two brackets 303, and an anti-loosening adjustment mechanism is arranged between the worm gear 301 and the plug shell 5.

[0034] Further, the tightening and locking mechanism includes a first extension rod 102 fixed to one side of the plug 4 and a guide groove 101 provided at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 10, one end of the first extension rod 102 is rotatably connected to a first roller 103 that is rollingly adapted to the guide groove 101, the guide groove 101 includes an orientation groove 1011, a tightening spiral groove 1012, and an annular locking groove 1013 provided at the outer side of the rotating rod 10, and both ends of the tightening spiral groove 1012 are smoothly connected to one end of the orientation groove 1011 and the annular locking groove 1013 respectively;

[0035] By tightening the locking mechanism, the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 can be smoothly combined and separated, and there is no need to use strong pulling force during disassembly and assembly, which reduces the difficulty of disassembly and assembly and improves the convenience of replacing the converter body 1. In addition, the first roller 103 can be locked through the annular locking groove 1013 therein to prevent it from loosening, thereby avoiding the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 from loosening and falling off, thereby improving the connection reliability.

[0036] Furthermore, the clip pressing mechanism includes a plurality of slide bars 201 slidably inserted in the interior of the partition 11 and extending to the inner side of each insert tube 7, a push ring 208 fixed to the outer side of the rotating rod 10 relative to one end of the guide groove 101, one end of each slide bar 201 is fixed with two pressing bars 202, and the other end of each slide bar 201 is fixed with a connecting plate 204, one end of the connecting plate 204 is elastically connected to one side of the partition 11 through a first spring 205, and the other side of the connecting plate 204 is fixed at the position corresponding to the first extension bar 102. A second extension rod 206 is fixed, one end of the second extension rod 206 is rotatably connected to a second roller 207 that rolls with one end of a propulsion ring 208, the propulsion ring 208 includes a bottom surface 2081, a spiral propulsion surface 2082, and a top surface 2083, both ends of the spiral propulsion surface 2082 are smoothly connected to one end of the bottom surface 2081 and the top surface 2083, and the spiral propulsion surface 2082 and the top surface 2083 are aligned with the annular locking groove 1013, and the orientation groove 1011 and the tensioning spiral groove 1012 are aligned with the bottom surface 2081;

[0037] Through the clip pressing mechanism, after the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 are fully combined, the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9 are combined and connected. When disassembling, the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9 can be separated before the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 begin to separate. Therefore, the generation of electric sparks during the plugging and unplugging process of the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 can be effectively avoided, so there will be no electric sparks flying outward, which improves safety.

[0038] Furthermore, the anti-loosening adjustment mechanism includes a square rod 304 that penetrates and slides inside the worm 301, and a fixing ring 306 that is fixed on the outer side of the plug shell 5 at a position corresponding to the square rod 304. A rotating cylinder 305 that extends to the outer side of the plug shell 5 is fixed at one end of the square rod 304. The rotating cylinder 305 is rotatably connected to the plug shell 5, and a knob 308 is fixed at one end of the rotating cylinder 305. A plurality of directional slides 309 are arranged on the outer side of the knob 308. A folding handle 310 is rotatably connected to one end of the knob 308. Positioning grooves 307 that are equal in number and matched with the directional slides 309 are opened on the inner side of the fixing ring 306.

[0039] Through the anti-loosening adjustment mechanism, the worm 301 of the driving mechanism can be rotated during disassembly and assembly, and can be automatically locked after installation, thereby preventing the worm 301 from rotating. Therefore, when the electric vehicle is driving, vibration can be prevented from causing the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 to fall off, and the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9 to fall off.

[0040] Furthermore, a limiting plate 312 is fixed to one end of the square rod 304 relative to the rotating cylinder 305, and one end of the limiting plate 312 is elastically connected to one end of the worm 301 through a limiting spring 311;

[0041] When the disassembly and assembly are completed, the knob 308 is released, and the limit spring 311 applies a thrust to the limit plate 312. The limit plate 312 is driven by the thrust to drive the square rod 304 to slide on the inner side of the worm 301. The square rod 304 drives the knob 308 to move toward the inside of the fixing ring 306 through the rotating cylinder 305, so that the multiple directional slides 309 on the outside of the knob 308 slide into the inside of each positioning groove 307, thereby limiting the knob 308 and preventing the knob 308 from rotating when the electric vehicle is driving.

[0042] Furthermore, a circular hole 210 is formed at one end of each conductive plug 6, and a circular protrusion 209 corresponding to the circular hole 210 is formed at one side of each conductive clip 9;

[0043] When the conductive clip 9 is pressed against one side of the conductive plug 6, the round protrusion 209 on one side of the conductive clip 9 can extend into the inner side of the round hole 210 on the conductive plug 6, which can improve the firmness of the connection between the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9, prevent relative sliding between the two, and improve the connection stability of the circuit.

[0044] Furthermore, a sealing frame 12 located outside the plurality of conductive plugs 6 is fixed on one side of the plug 4, and a sealing ring 13 is provided on the inner side of the plug shell 5 at a position corresponding to the sealing frame 12;

[0045] The sealing ring 13 seals the gap between the sealing frame 12 and the plug housing 5 to prevent water and dust, and prevent electric sparks from flying outward.

[0046] Furthermore, each conductive clip 9 is an elastic copper sheet;

[0047] After the pressure rod 202 leaves one side of the conductive clip 9 , the conductive clip 9 can be reset under the action of its own elastic force, thereby automatically separating from the conductive plug 6 to disconnect the circuit, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the plug 4 .

[0048] Working principle: When installing the cable 2 and the converter body 1, the plug 4 at one end of the cable 2 is inserted into the inner side of the plug shell 5 located outside the converter body 1, and the sealing frame 12 on one side of the plug 4 extends into the inner side of the plug shell 5. At the same time, multiple conductive plugs 6 on one side of the plug 4 are respectively inserted into the inner side of each plug tube 7, and each conductive plug 6 extends between the two conductive clips 9 at the corresponding position. At this time, the conductive plug 6 does not contact the two conductive clips 9 on both sides of it. At the same time, the first extension rod 102 of the tightening locking mechanism on one side of the plug 4 drives the first roller 10 3 moves to the inner side of the orientation groove 1011. As the plug 4 is inserted into the inner side of the plug shell 5, the first roller 103 moves along the orientation groove 1011 to one end of the tightening spiral groove 1012, that is, the connection between the tightening spiral groove 1012 and the orientation groove 1011 (at this time, the second roller 207 is located in contact with the bottom surface 2081). At this time, the outer side of the sealing frame 12 on one side of the plug 4 is in contact with the sealing ring 13, and the sealing ring 13 seals the gap between the sealing frame 12 and the plug shell 5, plays a waterproof and dustproof role, and can prevent electric sparks from splashing outwards;

[0049] Then, the knob 308 of the anti-loosening adjustment mechanism is rotated, and the knob 308 drives the square rod 304 to rotate through the rotating cylinder 305, and the square rod 304 drives the worm 301 to rotate, and the worm 301 drives the worm wheel 302 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate, and the rotating rod 10 drives the guide groove 101 to rotate, thereby driving the directional groove 1011, the tightening spiral groove 1012, and the annular locking groove 1013 to rotate. When the tightening spiral groove 1012 rotates, the first roller 103 can move toward one end of the annular locking groove 1013 through the rolling cooperation with the first roller 103, so that the first roller 103 slides from the tightening spiral groove 1012 to the inner side of the annular locking groove 1013 (when the first roller 103 is located inside the tightening spiral groove 1012, the second roller 20 7 is still in contact with the bottom surface 2081, when the first roller 103 slides into the inner side of the annular locking groove 1013, the second roller 207 can contact the spiral propulsion surface 2082), so that the first roller 103 applies a force pointing to the inner side of the plug shell 5 to the first extension rod 102 and the plug 4, so that the plug 4 is completely pulled into the innermost end of the plug shell 5, thereby completing the combined installation between the plug 4 and the plug shell 5. When the first roller 103 slides from the tightening spiral groove 1012 into the inner side of the annular locking groove 1013, the annular locking groove 1013 can lock the first roller 103, thereby preventing the first roller 103 from moving in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the first extension rod 102 and the plug 4 from moving in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 from falling off, and improving the connection reliability;

[0050] When the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 are connected, the knob 308 is continuously rotated to make the rotating rod 10 continuously rotate, and the rotating rod 10 drives the propulsion ring 208 of the clip pressing mechanism to rotate synchronously. Since the spiral propulsion surface 2082 is aligned with the annular locking groove 1013, when the first roller 103 slides into the inner side of the annular locking groove 1013, the spiral propulsion surface 2082 contacts the second roller 207. At this time, the spiral propulsion surface 2082 can apply a thrust to the second roller 207 pointing to the side where the plug 4 is located. The second roller 207 slides along the surface of the spiral propulsion surface 2082 to the surface of the top surface 2083. After the second roller 207 is thrusted, it drives the connecting plate 204 to move through the second extension rod 206. The movement of the connecting plate 204 compresses the first spring 205 and pushes multiple sliding rods 201 to slide inside the partition 11 at the same time. Each slide bar 201 is synchronously extended into the inner side of the plug tube 7 at each corresponding position, and each slide bar 201 drives the two pressure bars 202 at the end to move respectively. The two pressure bars 202 located on both sides of each conductive plug 6 respectively squeeze the two conductive clips 9 on both sides, so that the two conductive clips 9 separated from each other are merged, so that the two conductive clips 9 on both sides are respectively pressed and fitted on both sides of the conductive plug 6, so that the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9 are connected, and at the same time, the cable 2 is electrically connected to the converter body 1 through the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9. Since the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9 are brought into contact and conduction only after the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 are completely merged, it can effectively prevent electric sparks from friction when the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 are plugged in, thereby protecting the circuit safety and the personal safety of the operator, and improving the safety of the converter body 1 during replacement operation;

[0051] When the cable 2 needs to be separated from the converter body 1, according to the above principle, the knob 308 of the anti-loosening adjustment mechanism is rotated in the opposite direction, driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the rotating rod 10 drives the propulsion ring 208 to reverse, and at the same time, the first spring 205 releases the elastic force. Under the elastic force of the first spring 205, when the second roller 207 rolls in the opposite direction from the top surface 2083 to contact the spiral propulsion surface 2082, the second roller 207 is pushed by the first spring 205 and slides to the bottom surface 2081 through the spiral propulsion surface 2082, thereby driving the connecting plate 20 4 and each slide bar 201 move in the opposite direction, and each slide bar 201 drives the two pressure bars 202 at the end to move in the opposite direction, so that each pressure bar 202 is separated from one side of the conductive clip 9 at the corresponding position, and each conductive clip 9 restores its original shape under the action of its own elastic force and separates from one side of the conductive plug 6 again, thereby disconnecting the connection between the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9, thereby disconnecting the circuit between the cable 2 and the converter body 1. After the circuit is disconnected, when the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 are separated, no electric sparks will be generated, thereby further improving the safety of the operation;

[0052] After the conductive clip 9 is disconnected from the conductive plug 6, the knob 308 is continuously rotated in the reverse direction, thereby driving the rotating rod 10 to continue to rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the first roller 103 can slide from the inner side of the annular locking groove 1013 into the tightening spiral groove 1012. Under the guidance of the tightening spiral groove 1012, a reverse thrust is applied to the first roller 103, thereby pushing the plug 4 to slide out from the inner side of the plug shell 5 through the first roller 103 and the first extension rod 102, so that the plug 4 and the plug shell 5 can be separated conveniently and quickly. Compared with the existing method of plugging by snapping, there is no need to apply a large pulling force to pull out the plug 4, so it is not easy to cause the wire therein to be torn off due to excessive force, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing the converter body 1;

[0053] When the disassembly and assembly are completed, the knob 308 is released, and the limit spring 311 applies a thrust to the limit plate 312. The limit plate 312 is driven by the thrust to drive the square rod 304 to slide on the inner side of the worm 301. The square rod 304 drives the knob 308 to move to the inside of the fixing ring 306 through the rotating cylinder 305, so that the multiple directional slide bars 309 on the outside of the knob 308 slide into the inside of each positioning groove 307, so that the knob 308 can be limited. Therefore, when the electric vehicle is driving, the vibration of the vehicle can be prevented from causing the knob 308 to rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the fixation between the plug 4 and the plug shell 5, and also ensuring the connection stability between the conductive plug 6 and the conductive clip 9.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
