Description

Technical Field

At present, electric vehicle charging technology is developing towards high efficiency and high power transmission to meet the needs of fast charging of the new generation of electric vehicles. Among charging equipment, the charging stand is a key component that connects the power supply to the electric vehicle battery, and its performance directly affects the charging efficiency and safety. The standard charging stand needs to be able to carry high current while ensuring stable and reliable power transmission so that electric vehicles can be charged in a shorter time.

[0003] The ultra-high power transmission of electric vehicles on the market is mainly achieved through the liquid-cooled cables and liquid-cooled guns at the charging end to increase the charging current power; however, it is still difficult to achieve ultra-high power transmission at the load-end charging station. At present, some companies have begun to use copper rods, copper bars, aluminum rods, aluminum bars and other metal components as current-carrying conduction terminals in the charging station to achieve high-power transmission, ensuring sufficient current-carrying capacity and low resistance. However, relying on rigid metal components as current-carrying components, the vibration of the vehicle during the driving of electric vehicles makes it easy for the current-carrying components to produce tiny relative movements, resulting in wear and loosening of the plug-in points at both ends, and even bending of the current-carrying components. The stress concentration at the bending point causes a sudden change in resistance, which reduces the charging efficiency and increases the overall energy consumption of the system.

[0022] Embodiment 1: Reference Figures 1 to 3The present invention proposes a charging seat current-carrying terminal structure and a manufacturing method thereof, comprising: a plurality of load-sharing cables 1, wherein the load-sharing cables 1 are provided with first connection ports 11 at opposite ends thereof; A plurality of connection terminals 2, each of which is provided with a second connection port 21, and the second connection port 21 is fixedly connected to the first connection port 11; The busbar 3 is provided with a terminal face portion 31, and the end of the terminal 2 away from the second connection port 21 is also provided with a third connection port 22, and a plurality of the terminal 2 are fixedly connected to the terminal face portion 31 of the busbar 3 through the third connection port 22, wherein the busbar 3 is used to be connected to an external current-carrying component.

[0023] In the above embodiment, the sharing cables 1 are arranged in such a way that the two ends of each sharing cable 1 are respectively connected to the first connection port 11 of a terminal 2 and the second connection port 21 of another terminal 2, forming a continuous current-carrying path. In this way, the current load can be effectively dispersed and the current carrying capacity of the charging station can be improved. In addition, the terminal surface 31 of the bus 3 is designed to accommodate the third connection ports 22 of multiple terminals 2, so as to realize the parallel connection of multiple sharing cables 1, further enhancing the current transmission efficiency of the current-carrying terminal structure. Preferably, the terminal 2 of the present application is set to three. In practical applications, this structural design can adapt to charging requirements of different powers and ensure the stability and reliability of the charging station.

[0024] By using several load-sharing cables 1 to replace traditional rigid metal components as current-carrying parts, the flexibility and seismic resistance of the structure are significantly improved by dispersing the conductive path, so that during the driving of the electric vehicle, the load-sharing cables 1 have a certain degree of softness, which can effectively absorb and alleviate the vibration stress caused by the vibration of the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of wear and loosening of the connection ports and plug points, and can also effectively prevent the current-carrying parts from bending and causing sudden changes in resistance. The configuration of multiple load-sharing cables 1 allows the current to be evenly distributed, which not only improves the current-carrying capacity of the terminals, but also reduces the loss caused by resistance, ensuring efficient transmission during the charging process. Therefore, by using multiple load-sharing cables 1 in parallel, the problems of difficult fixing, difficult bending and wiring, large size, and difficult heat dissipation of oversized cables can be effectively avoided.

[0025] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the wiring terminal 2 is a copper tube terminal, the second connection port 21 is cylindrical, the second connection port 21 is sleeved on the outside of the first connection port 11, and the second connection port 21 is crimped and fixed to the first connection port 11.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the inner diameter of the copper tube terminal is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first connection port 11, so that the copper tube terminal can be tightly sleeved on the outside of the first connection port 11. In this way, a good electrical contact is formed between the copper tube terminal and the first connection port 11, and the cylindrical structure of the copper tube terminal also provides sufficient mechanical strength to withstand large currents and mechanical stresses. In addition, the material of the copper tube terminal is selected as copper because copper has good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, which helps to improve the stability and service life of the entire charging station current-carrying terminal structure.

[0027] In one example, a connection transition portion 4 is disposed around the connection between the second connection port 21 and the first connection port 11 . The connection transition portion 4 is filled with solder, and the solder is fixedly connected to the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 .

[0028] In the above embodiment, the connection transition portion 4 can ensure that the connection between the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 is more firm and reliable. The filling of solder not only enhances the stability of the electrical connection, but also improves the strength of the mechanical connection. In practical applications, it can effectively prevent the connection from loosening or breaking due to excessive current or mechanical stress, thereby ensuring the performance stability and safety of the current-carrying terminal of the charging seat during long-term use. In addition, the use of solder also simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0029] refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the connection terminal 2 is an ultrasonic welding terminal, the second connection port 21 is flat, and the second connection port 21 is fixed to the first connection port 11 by welding.

[0030] In the above embodiment, when the terminal 2 adopts an ultrasonic welding terminal, the connection between the terminal 2 and the second connection port 21 is more precise and firm. The flat design of the second connection port 21 is not only convenient for close cooperation with the terminal 2, but also can better disperse the welding stress during the welding process, thereby reducing the damage to the connection part caused by stress concentration. In addition, compared with traditional welding methods, ultrasonic welding technology has the advantages of fast welding speed, small heat-affected zone, and high welding strength, which further improves the reliability and durability of the current-carrying terminal of the charging seat. Through the application of this structural design and welding technology, the current-carrying terminal of the charging seat has been significantly improved in terms of current transmission efficiency and long-term stability.

[0031] In one embodiment, the third connection port 22 is flat, and a first connection hole 23 is formed in the third connection port 22. A second connection hole 32 corresponding to the first connection hole 23 is formed on the terminal surface 31 of the bus 3. A first connecting member 5 is inserted into the first connection hole 23 and the second connection hole 32 to fix the terminal 2 to the bus 3.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the first connecting member 5 can be a bolt, a screw or other forms of fasteners. Through this connection method, the connection between the terminal 2 and the bus 3 is not only firm and reliable, but also easy to disassemble and maintain. In addition, the flat third connection port 22 design also helps to disperse the stress during connection and reduce damage to the connection parts caused by long-term use or current shock. This structural design enables the current-carrying terminal of the charging seat to maintain stable connection performance when subjected to large currents, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the entire charging system.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, a mounting portion 33 is extended from one end face of the terminal surface portion 31 away from the first connecting member 5, and the mounting portion 33 is provided with a mounting hole 34. The mounting hole 34 is penetrated by a second connecting member 6, and the second connecting member 6 is detachably connected to the external current-carrying component so that the bus 3 is fixedly connected to the external current-carrying component.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the second connecting member 6 can be a bolt, a screw or other forms of fasteners. This design allows the busbar 3 to be quickly connected and disconnected from external current-carrying components, which is convenient for the installation, maintenance and upgrading of the equipment. At the same time, the provision of the mounting portion 33 increases the flexibility of the connection, so that the busbar 3 can adapt to external current-carrying components of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the scope of application and compatibility of the charging station current-carrying terminal. In this way, the charging station current-carrying terminal is not only optimized in structure, but also more diversified in function, meeting the use requirements in different scenarios.

[0035] refer to Figure 6 The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a charging seat current-carrying terminal structure, which is used to manufacture a charging seat current-carrying terminal structure as described in any one of the above items, comprising: S1: providing a plurality of load-sharing cables 1 and wiring terminals 2, and providing first connection ports 11 at two opposite ends of the load-sharing cables 1 and providing a second connection port 21 at one end of the wiring terminals 2; S2: contacting the first connection port 11 with the second connection port 21, and fixing the first connection port 11 with the second connection port 21 by crimping or welding; S3: Provide a busbar 3 and a first connector 5, set a terminal face portion 31 on the busbar 3, and set a third connection port 22 on the other end of the terminal 2, open a first connection hole 23 on the third connection port 22, open a second connection hole 32 on the terminal face portion 31, overlap the third connection port 22 to the terminal face portion 31, and insert the first connector 5 into the first connection hole 23 and the second connection hole 32; S4: Provide a second connector 6, set a mounting portion 33 on an end face of the bus 3 away from the terminal face portion 31, and open a mounting hole 34 on the mounting portion 33, insert the second connector 6 into the mounting hole 34, so that the bus 3 can be detachably connected to the external current-carrying component.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the load-sharing cable 1 and the wiring terminal 2 are fully prepared in S1 to ensure that their quality and specifications meet the design requirements. Connection ports are respectively set at both ends of the load-sharing cable 1 and one end of the wiring terminal 2. These ports are the key parts of the subsequent connection. In step S2, the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 are firmly connected by crimping or welding to ensure the stability and conductivity of the connection. In step S3, the preparation and installation of the bus 3 and the first connector 5 are the core links in the entire production process. It is necessary to accurately overlap the third connection port 22 with the wiring terminal surface 31, and ensure the alignment of the first connection hole 23 and the second connection hole 32 to facilitate the insertion of the first connector 5. Finally, in step S4, the installation of the second connector 6 needs to accurately pass through the installation hole 34 of the bus 3 to ensure the detachable connection between the bus 3 and the external current-carrying component, which not only facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement, but also improves the flexibility and practicality of the entire charging seat current-carrying terminal structure. Through the above steps, a charging seat current-carrying terminal structure that meets the design requirements can be efficiently manufactured.

[0037] In one embodiment, the step of bringing the first connection port 11 into contact with the second connection port 21 and fixing the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 by crimping specifically includes: A copper tube terminal is used as the wiring terminal 2, and the second connection port 21 of the wiring terminal 2 is sleeved on the outside of the first connection port 11, and the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 are pressed and connected by a crimping pliers; Provide a tin bar, and surround a connecting transition portion 4 at a connection between an end of the second connecting port 21 and the first connecting port 11, and wrap the tin bar around the connecting transition portion 4; The tin bar is heated to a preset temperature by a high-frequency eddy current heating device, so that the tin bar is melted and completely fills the connecting transition portion 4; Stop heating to allow the melted tin bar to cool and solidify naturally, thereby forming a firm connection with the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21; The step of contacting the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 and fixing the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 by welding specifically includes: An ultrasonic welding terminal is used as the connection terminal 2, and the second connection port 21 of the connection terminal 2 is overlapped on the outer side of the first connection port 11; Using ultrasonic welding equipment to enable the welding head to clamp the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 with a preset pressure; Applying ultrasonic vibration to the welding head at a preset frequency and a preset amplitude, so that the contact surfaces of the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 are rubbed at high speed to generate heat and melt; The welding head is made to maintain the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 with a preset pressure for a preset time to ensure that the molten material is evenly diffused; The ultrasonic vibration is stopped to allow the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21 to cool and solidify naturally.

[0038] In the above embodiments, each step specifically includes two types of fixed connection methods of the first connection port 11 and the second connection port 21, namely, crimping or welding. In the crimping method, the use of the crimping pliers ensures the tightness and stability of the connection, while the molten filling of the tin bar further enhances the conductivity and durability of the connection part. In the welding method, the use of ultrasonic welding terminals achieves rapid and uniform melting through the heat generated by high-frequency vibration, ensuring the strength and reliability of the connection part. The selection of these two connection methods not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures product quality and safety. In addition, by optimizing the design of the terminal block 2, the contact resistance can be further reduced and the overall current conduction efficiency can be improved. In practical applications, crimping or welding methods can be flexibly selected according to different usage environments and requirements to achieve the best electrical connection effect.

[0039] In one embodiment, the step of overlapping the third connection port 22 to the wiring terminal surface 31 and inserting the first connection member 5 into the first connection hole 23 and the second connection hole 32 specifically includes: Performing surface pretreatment on the terminal face portion 31 and the third connection port 22 using a plasma processing device; Align the first connecting hole 23 with the second connecting hole 32, and insert the first connecting member 5 into the first connecting hole 23 and the second connecting hole 32; After the third connection port 22 is fixedly connected to the wiring terminal surface portion 31 , the wiring terminal 2 and the busbar 3 are encapsulated with a preset insulating material.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the plasma treatment device cleans and activates the surface of the terminal face 31 and the third connection port 22 by generating plasma, thereby improving the surface adhesion and chemical activity. The pretreatment step is essential to ensure a good electrical connection between the terminal 2 and the busbar 3, and can remove the oxide layer and impurities on the surface, providing a clean and active interface for subsequent fixed connection.

[0041] The use of a preset insulating material to encapsulate the terminal block 2 and the busbar 3 can not only protect the electrical connection from the influence of the external environment, such as humidity, dust and chemical corrosion, but also provide additional mechanical protection to prevent physical damage. The selection of the encapsulation material needs to consider factors such as its insulation performance, temperature resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength to ensure long-term and stable protection of the electrical connection.

[0042] In one embodiment, the manufacturing method further includes the step of performing a mechanical strength test on the current-carrying terminal structure of the charging seat, including: The load-sharing cable 1 and the busbar 3 are clamped by a force measuring device, and a gradually increasing mechanical load is applied to the load-sharing cable 1 and the busbar 3 in opposite directions; Obtaining the relative displacement between the load-sharing cable 1 and the bus bar 3 under various mechanical load conditions; If the sharing cable 1 and the bus 3 are not loose, and the relative displacement is within a preset range, the mechanical strength of the current-carrying terminal structure of the charging seat is determined to be qualified; if any of the conditions is not met, the mechanical strength of the current-carrying terminal structure of the charging seat is determined to be unqualified.

[0043] In the above embodiment, through the mechanical strength test, it can be ensured that the current-carrying terminal structure of the charging seat can withstand certain mechanical stresses without damage or performance degradation in actual use. This testing step is an indispensable part of the entire production process and is directly related to the reliability and safety of the product. During the test, the gradually enhanced mechanical load simulates the tension and pressure that may occur in actual use, ensuring the stability and durability of the product under extreme conditions. Through this series of tests, unqualified products can be screened out, ensuring that only the current-carrying terminal structure of the charging seat that meets the mechanical strength standards can enter the market, thereby providing consumers with safer and more reliable products.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
