Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a new energy electric vehicle charging cable, in particular to a new energy electric vehicle charging cable with a current protection function. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles can generally be charged directly by connecting the corresponding plug to the corresponding socket and turning on the power. However, if the plug and socket are plugged in for a long time for charging, it will inevitably cause the plug or wire to generate more heat, thereby increasing the safety risks of charging. Therefore, the current new energy vehicle charging power cord will have a built-in temperature switch or temperature sensor in the plug to monitor the temperature inside the power cord plug in real time during charging, so as to ensure the safety of charging. However, this method has some disadvantages: for example, the corresponding component fixing slots need to be designed inside the plug, and the inner frame of the plug needs to be re-molded; the wires need to be connected to the temperature switch or temperature sensor during the production process, which has low production efficiency; adding components such as temperature switches and temperature sensors will increase costs, and the accuracy of temperature switches and temperature sensors is uneven, which will cause functional failure after repeated charging and discharging for a period of time, and there are safety risks after multiple charges. Summary of the invention

[0003] Since the current new energy electric vehicle charging plug has the above disadvantages during the charging process, it is urgent to develop a better product structure and method to avoid the above problems. This new energy electric vehicle charging line with current protection function still uses a traditional household plug as the charging plug. No parts are added inside the plug. Now the household plug technology is mature, and most of the processes can be produced by automated equipment, with high production efficiency and stable product quality. This technology is to add a connector with current protection function to the body of the charging power line. When the current is overloaded during the charging process, the fuse in the connector will automatically cut off the wire core, thereby disconnecting the circuit and will not continue charging. It is necessary to manually replace the new fuse again to restore the normal charging function.

[0004] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0005] A new energy electric vehicle charging cable with a current protection function comprises a connector, wherein the connector comprises a shell, wherein the shell comprises an upper cover and a lower cover, wherein a fuse is arranged in the shell, wherein a first fuse terminal is arranged at one end of the fuse, and a second fuse terminal is arranged at the other end, wherein the fuse is connected to a live wire of a plug through the first fuse terminal and the second fuse terminal; a ground wire and a neutral wire of the plug are respectively located on both sides of the fuse, a first partition rib is arranged between the ground wire and the fuse, and a second partition rib is arranged between the neutral wire and the fuse.

[0006] The wire cores are isolated by the ribs to ensure that the creepage distance between each pole meets the standard requirements. The product will not short-circuit with the other pole during power-on, ensuring that the product meets the standard requirements. At the same time, the fuse is set between the two ribs to ensure that the position of the fuse will not move during the product falling or moving, ensuring the safety of the product.

[0007] A fuse positioning groove is formed between the first partition rib and the second partition rib, and the fuse positioning groove is used to position the fuse.

[0008] The fuse positioning groove comprises a first fuse terminal mounting groove and a second fuse terminal mounting groove, the first fuse terminal is mounted in the first fuse terminal mounting groove, and the second fuse terminal is mounted in the second fuse terminal mounting groove.

[0009] The first fuse terminal installation slot and / or the first fuse terminal installation slot are both provided with positioning posts, and the positioning posts are used to limit the fuse terminal to prevent the fuse terminal from moving to the side away from the fuse. The positioning posts are used to block and limit the terminal, and the terminal is prevented from moving left and right to avoid potential safety hazards in the product.

[0010] A wire inlet and a wire outlet are provided between the upper cover and the lower cover. The wire inlet is provided with an inlet circular sealing ring, which is used to seal the gap between the wire and the wire inlet. The wire outlet is provided with an outlet circular sealing ring, which is used to seal the gap between the wire and the wire outlet.

[0011] A first sealing strip and a second sealing strip are arranged between the upper cover and the lower cover, and the live wire, the ground wire, and the neutral wire are all located between the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip, and the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip are both used to seal the gap between the upper cover and the lower cover. The first sealing strip and the second sealing strip are installed on both sides of the housing, and when the upper and lower covers are fastened, the sealing strips play a waterproof and dustproof role.

[0012] The shell is sealed all around by means of an inlet circular sealing ring, an outlet circular sealing ring, a first sealing strip and a second sealing strip to ensure that the product meets the requirements for waterproofing and dustproofing after assembly.

[0013] The upper cover and the lower cover are integrally structured on one side, and are buckled with a baffle on the other side. The upper cover and the lower cover are completed by injection molding on a set of molds, so that the upper cover and the lower cover are connected together on one side and can be turned over and closed.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The charging plug can use a traditional household plug, and no parts are added inside the plug. Now the technology of household plugs is mature, and most of the processes can be produced by automated equipment, with high production efficiency and stable product quality.

[0016] 2. Add a connector with current protection function directly to the body of the charging power cord. When the current is overloaded during charging, the fuse in the connector will automatically cut off the wire core, thereby disconnecting the circuit and no longer charging.

[0017] 3. The connector is a detachable structure. When charging is needed again, professionals can replace the fuse with a new one to restore normal charging function.

[0018] 4. This connector is waterproof and dustproof and can be used normally even outdoors or in rainy days.

[0019] 5. This connector is designed with a flip-top structure. The entire product can be completed with a set of molds, with low development costs. The upper and lower covers can be directly fastened, and the assembly efficiency is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
