It should be noted that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a structure for reducing the temperature rise of high-power contacts includes: a female contact 1 and a male contact 2. After being plugged in, the female contact and the male contact have two parallel current channels, namely, elastic spring contact and end surface floating contact. The female contact includes a tubular base 1-1 and an elastic spring 1-2. A female hole is provided in the tubular base. Three elastic spring installation grooves 2-2 are provided on the side wall of the female hole. A bottom contact plane 2-1 is provided at the bottom of the female hole. The three elastic springs are installed in the elastic spring installation grooves.

[0023] The male head of the contact piece includes a cylindrical base 3-1 and a spring retainer 3-3, wherein the spring retainer is arranged at the step of the cylindrical base and is limited by the insulating mounting plate 3-2. The insulating mounting plate can slide relative to the cylindrical base and drive the cylindrical base to move by compressing the spring retainer.

[0024] In some embodiments, the cylindrical base is provided with an installation step 3-1-3, a cylindrical contact surface 3-1-2 and a top contact plane 3-1-1; the diameter of the cylindrical contact surface is larger than the diameter of the installation step, the length of the cylindrical contact surface is larger than the depth of the female head hole, and the top contact plane cooperates with the bottom contact plane of the female head hole to achieve current conduction.

[0025] When the structure of reducing the temperature rise of high-power contacts of the present application is working, the male contact is inserted into the bottom of the female hole of the female contact, the cylindrical contact surface of the male contact contacts the elastic spring, and the top contact plane of the male contact fits with the bottom contact plane of the female contact; because the length of the cylindrical contact surface is greater than the depth of the female hole, the spring retaining ring is compressed by continuing to insert it through the insulating mounting plate, and the compressed spring retaining ring provides continuous thrust to the cylindrical base of the male contact, so that the planar contact position of the top contact plane and the bottom contact plane of the female hole can maintain stable and effective fit under vibration conditions. Its working state is as follows Figure 5 .

[0026] The technical solution of the present application combines the end face contact method of the floating contact and the circumferential contact method of the pinhole to create a new contact piece structure that combines the two contact methods.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
