Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging guns, and in particular to a replaceable pin assembly for a charging interface of a charging gun. Background Art

[0002] A charging gun (also called a charging gun head or charging gun handle) usually refers to a connector part used by electric vehicles or electric devices for charging. It is a key component in an electric vehicle charging system and is usually used to connect a charging pile and an electric vehicle's charging port to transfer electrical energy from the power grid to the electric vehicle's battery.

[0003] The pins (or plugs) of the charging gun charging interface are crucial components in the charging system. They are responsible for transmitting current from the charging pile to the battery of the electric vehicle. The design of the pins not only affects the current transmission efficiency, but is also directly related to the safety and durability of charging. Different charging standards and interface types use pins of different numbers, shapes and functions.

[0004] The existing charging gun design usually requires the shell to be disassembled to access the pins. Special tools are required to remove the shell, and the operation is complicated, especially for non-professionals. It may not be easy to complete, which affects the convenience of maintenance. Certain skills or experience are required to replace the pins. For some users or maintenance personnel, the operation process may be cumbersome and may damage other components (such as seals, cables, etc.), resulting in additional maintenance costs.

[0005] In summary, the prior art lacks a technology for automatically replacing the pins of a charging gun. Summary of the invention

[0009] Preferably, the pin limit seat is symmetrically structured and has multiple inclined blocks that are slidably fitted throughout. One end of the inclined block located in the pin limit seat is connected and fixedly provided with a limit block. The limit block is movably plugged into the outer wall of the pin A. A spring A is connected and fixedly provided on the limit block, and the other end of the spring A is connected and fixedly provided with the inner wall of the pin limit seat.

[0010] Preferably, an electric push rod A is fixedly connected to the outer side of the pin limiting seat, and a push ring is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod A, and the push ring is arranged in sliding contact with the outer wall of the inclined block.

[0011] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed frame, a rack is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, an electric push rod B is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, and the other end of the electric push rod B is fixedly connected to the moving block.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of placement holes are provided on the pin socket, and the open end of the pin socket is movably plugged into the protective cover.

[0015] Preferably, one end of the pin sleeve is connected and fixedly provided with an electric push rod C, one end of the electric push rod C is connected and fixedly provided with the inner wall of the placement hole, two fixing plates are connected and fixedly provided on the outer side of the pin sleeve, a plurality of guide rods are connected and fixedly provided on one side of the fixing plate, a clamping head is slidably provided on the guide rod, one end of the clamping head is provided with a conical structure, the outer wall of the clamping head is provided with a movably contacting arrangement with one end of the pin B, a spring B is connected and fixedly provided on the clamping head, and the other end of the spring B is connected and fixedly provided with the fixing plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] By setting the pin sleeve, the new pin B can be placed. After the old pin A is removed, the pin B on the pin sleeve is automatically driven to be inserted into the pin limit seat, and then the spring A will drive the limit block to automatically limit the pin B, so as to realize the automatic installation of the charging gun pin. The entire pin installation process does not require manual intervention, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency and reduces the labor cost, can further reduce the errors in manual operation, and improve the accuracy and reliability of pin installation;

[0019] By setting up an adjustment mechanism, the pin holder can be automatically turned while driving the pin holder to move, thereby improving the efficiency of pin replacement, thereby improving the convenience and speed of operation. At the same time, the pin holder can be folded up when not in use, which is convenient for reducing space occupancy and may enhance the overall safety of the system. The protective cover can seal the opening of the pin holder, which can effectively protect the new pin from external dust, pollution or damage, ensuring the safe storage and convenient replacement of spare pins.

[0041] Then, the electric push rod C801 is used to drive the connected pin sleeve 8 to move, so that the pin sleeve 8 inserts the pin B9 into the pin hole 101, and then one end of the pin B9 passes through the pin limit seat 2 and is inserted into the conductive sleeve 103, and then the electric push rod A204 drives the push ring 205 to move. At this time, under the action of the spring A203, the limit block 202 is inserted into the pin B9 to limit its installation;

[0042] Then, the pin holder 7 is retracted to the lower side of the charging gun body 1 and paused, and then a new pin B9 is inserted into the pin sleeve 8. At this time, under the action of the spring B805, the clamping head 804 will move to clamp and limit the new pin B9 for standby use, and then continue to drive the pin holder 7 to move so that one end of it is inserted into the protective cover 401.
