[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A usage scenario of a power connector 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, the power connector 100 can be fixedly mounted on an external component 200. The external component 200 can be a circuit board, or a copper busbar, an aluminum busbar, etc., which can transmit power. The power connector 100 can be electrically connected to the external component 200. The power connector 100 can be plugged in with the power plug 300. A first socket 111 can be provided on the power connector 100, and the power plug 300 can be inserted into the first socket 111 along the insertion direction, so that the power plug 300 is electrically connected to the power connector 100; the power plug 300 can also be pulled out from the first socket 111 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction. Similarly, the power plug 300 can be fixedly mounted on the external component 200.

[0029] The direction in which the power plug 300 is inserted into the first socket 111 may be defined as the insertion direction, and the insertion direction may coincide with the extension direction of the power plug 300. Figure 1 As shown, the plug-in direction can be Figure 1 The Z direction shown in FIG. has a first side and a second side opposite to each other in the insertion direction; Figure 1 As shown, on the power connector 100, the side facing the power connector is the first side, and the side facing away from the power connector is the second side, that is, the side facing away from the Z direction arrow is the first side, and the side facing the Z direction arrow is the second side. The first jack 111 can be opened on the first side of the power connector 100.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the fixing method during the fixed connection and fixed installation. For example, the fixing method may include, but is not limited to, welding fixing, integral molding fixing, buckle fixing, and screw fixing.

[0031] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the power connector 100 may include a housing 10 and a conductive component 20. The housing 10 is provided with an insertion surface 112 and a mounting surface 121. The insertion surface 112 is located on a first side of the housing 10. The mounting surface 121 is located on one side of the insertion surface 112 in the insertion direction and is spaced apart from the insertion surface 112. The mounting surface 121 is fixed to the external element 200. The insertion surface 112 is provided with a first plug hole 111, and a second plug hole 123 is provided on a second side of the housing 10. The first plug hole 111 and the second plug hole 123 are opposite to each other. A first space 113 and a second space 124 are provided in the housing 10, and the first plug hole 111, the first space 113, the second space 124 and the second plug hole 123 are arranged in sequence along the insertion direction and are connected to each other. The first space 113 is connected to the first plug hole 111, and the second space 124 is connected to the first space 113 and the second plug hole 123. A first inner wall surface 114 and a second inner wall surface 122 perpendicular to the insertion direction are formed inside the first space 113 .

[0032] The conductive component 20 may include a base and a plurality of elastic arms 241 extending obliquely. The base is accommodated in the first space 113 and is confined between the first inner wall surface 114 and the second inner wall surface 122. There may be a gap between the periphery of the base and the inner peripheral wall of the first space 113, that is, the base is spaced apart from the inner peripheral wall of the first space 113 in the radial direction. A guide channel 232 is provided on the base, and the guide jack may be connected to the first jack 111 and the second jack 123. The cross section of the guide channel 232 may be circular, and the guide channel 232 gradually shrinks along the insertion direction, that is, the diameter of the guide channel 232 gradually decreases in the insertion direction. The power plug 300 may be inserted into the guide channel 232 through the first jack 111, and the guide channel 232 and the second jack 123 are penetrated, so that the power plug 300 can be plugged into the power connector 100. When the power plug 300 is inserted into the guide channel 232, the power plug 300 can abut against the inner wall of the guide channel 232 to push the base to move in a radial direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. A plurality of elastic arms 241 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the guide channel 232 and extend into the second space 124, and the plurality of elastic arms 241 can abut against the power plug 300.

[0033] It is understood that the conductive component 20 can be made of a conductive metal material, for example, the conductive component 20 can be made of a copper alloy. The elastic arm 241 can be electrically connected to the base. The elastic arm 241 abuts against the power plug 300 to achieve electrical connection with the conductive component 20, thereby achieving current flow with the power connector 100.

[0034] It can be understood that the base can be a structure with a circular cross section, and the radial direction of the base is the direction of any diameter of the cross section of the base. Similarly, the shell 10 can be a structure with a circular cross section, and the radial direction of the shell 10 can be the direction of any diameter of the cross section of the shell 10.

[0035] The axial direction of the base portion coincides with the axial direction of the housing 10 and coincides with the insertion direction.

[0036] It can be understood that the first inner wall surface 114 and the second inner wall surface 122 can clamp the base to limit the movement of the base in the insertion direction. The inner wall of the guide channel 232 can be an inclined surface or an arc surface to achieve gradual contraction in the insertion direction.

[0037] When the guide channel 232 deviates from the power plug 300, the power plug 300 abuts against the inner wall of the guide channel 232 during the process of being plugged into the power connector 100, and the inner wall guide base of the guide channel 232 moves in the radial direction, so that the guide channel 232 can be gradually aligned with the power plug 300, so that the power plug 300 can pass through the guide channel 232 to achieve electrical connection with the power connector 100. In this way, the error of the size and installation position of the power connector 100 and the power plug 300 can be reduced, and the influence on the plugging of the power plug 300 and the power connector 100 can be reduced, and the convenience and stability of the connection between the power plug 300 and the power connector 100 can be improved.

[0038] The housing 10 may include a cover body 11 and a base 12. The cover body 11 may include a first plate ring 115 and a first barrel 116.

The first barrel 116 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first plate ring 115, the first barrel 116 extends in an insertion direction, and the first barrel 116 surrounds the outer side of the base. The diameter of the first barrel 116 is greater than the diameter of the base, so that there is a gap between the periphery of the base and the inner wall of the first barrel 116. The first space 113 is located in the cover body 11, and the second side of the first plate ring 115 forms a first inner wall surface 114.

[0039] The base 12 may include a second plate ring 125 and a second barrel 126. The second plate ring 125 extends in a radial direction, and the second plate ring 125 is fixedly connected to the first barrel 116 to connect the cover 11 to the base 12. The first space 113 is formed between the first plate ring 115 and the second plate ring 125, and the first side of the second plate ring 125 forms a second inner wall surface 122, and the second side forms a mounting surface 121. The diameter of the second plate ring 125 may be equal to the diameter of the first barrel 116. The second barrel 126 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second plate ring 125, and the second barrel 126 extends in the insertion direction, and the second space 124 is formed in the second barrel 126. The diameter of the second barrel 126 is smaller than the diameter of the second plate ring. The second jack 123 is opened on the second side of the second barrel 126.

[0040] A plurality of buckling portions 117 extend from the second side of the first barrel portion 116, and the plurality of buckling portions 117 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction and are all fixedly connected to the first barrel portion 116.

Each buckling portion 117 can be plugged into a corresponding slot 127, so that the plurality of buckling portions 117 are buckled to the second plate ring 125.

[0041] It can be understood that the latching portion 117 can interfere and fix with the inner wall of the slot 127 to achieve a fixed connection between the base 12 and the cover 11 .

[0042] Please also read Figure 4 In the first embodiment, the housing 10 can be fixedly connected to the external component 200 by soldering. At this time, the retaining portion 117 protrudes out of the second side of the second plate ring 125 along the insertion direction. The second barrel 126 can pass through the external component 200, and the second sides of the plurality of retaining portions 117 can abut against the external component 200, so that there is a gap between the mounting surface 121 on the second plate ring 125 and the external component 200, and the tin material can pass through the gap and connect with the mounting surface 121 and the external component 200.

[0043] Please also read Figure 5 In the second embodiment, the housing 10 can be fixedly connected with the external element 200 by means of interference fixation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base may include a first plane 21, a second plane 22, and a guide ring 231.

[0049] The number of the fixing rings 25 can be defined as N, where N is an integer greater than one; and the number of the abutment members 24 is N-1. The N fixing rings 25 are sequentially from the first fixing ring 25 to the Nth fixing ring 25 along the insertion direction. The first fixing ring 25 is located between the first ring portion 234 and the second ring portion 242 that is most adjacent to the first ring portion 234, and the Nth fixing ring 25 is located between the second inner wall surface 122 and the second ring portion 242 that is most adjacent to the second inner wall surface 122. The embodiments of the present application can be illustrated based on the case where N is equal to 5.

[0050] On the first fixing ring 25, a plurality of fixing protrusions 251 may correspond to a plurality of first fixing holes 235 one by one, and each fixing protrusion 251 may penetrate a corresponding first fixing hole 235 to achieve the fixing of the first fixing ring 25 and the guide member 23; the guide ring 231 may penetrate the hollow of the first fixing ring 25 and the hollow of the first second ring portion 242 along the insertion direction.

[0051] On the second to Nth fixing rings 25, the plurality of fixing protrusions 251 may correspond to the plurality of second fixing holes 243 on the second ring portion 242 which is most adjacent to the fixing ring 25 and located on the first side of the fixing ring 25, and each fixing protrusion 251 may be penetrated with a corresponding second fixing hole 243 to achieve the fixation of the fixing ring 25 and the abutment 24 which is most adjacent to the fixing ring 25 and located on the first side of the fixing ring 25. The plurality of elastic arms 241 on each abutment 24 may pass through the hollow part of the fixing ring 25 which is most adjacent to the abutment 24 and located on the second side of the second ring portion 242.

[0052] The periphery of each fixing ring 25 can be provided with a plurality of limiting openings 252, and the plurality of limiting openings 252 can be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction. The periphery of each second ring portion 242 is bent to form a plurality of lugs 244, and each lug 244 extends in the opposite direction of the insertion direction. On each second ring portion 242, a plurality of lugs 244 can be inserted into a plurality of limiting openings 252 on the fixing ring 25 which is most adjacent to the second ring portion 242 and is located on the first side of the second ring portion 242, so as to strengthen the fixation between the fixing ring 25 and the adjacent abutment 24. In this way, on the first fixing ring 25 to the N-1th fixing ring 25, a corresponding lug 244 is inserted into each limiting opening 252.

The difference between the first angle and the second angle may be less than 90 degrees. Thus, among the N-1 abutments 24 arranged from the first side toward the second side, the first abutment 24 ranked as the first, and the other abutments 24 whose sequence number has a difference from one equal to an integer multiple of two, have the same placement angle, which is one of the first angle and the second angle; the remaining all abutments 24 have the same placement angle, which is the other of the first angle and the second angle.

[0054] When the power plug 300 is plugged into the power connector 100, among the multiple abutting members 24 arranged at the first angle, the abutting piece on the abutting member 24 with a smaller sequence number first abuts against the power plug 300, and the power plug 300 continues to move from the first side to the second side. At this time, the elastic arm 241 on the abutting member 24 with a smaller sequence number can first scrape off the stains on the power plug 300, reducing the probability that the abutting member 24 with a larger sequence number will have a poor contact due to abutting against the stains on the power plug 300, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the power plug 300 and the power connector 100. Similarly, among the multiple abutting members 24 arranged at the second angle, the elastic arm 241 on the abutting member 24 with a smaller sequence number can first scrape off the stains on the power plug 300, reducing the probability that the abutting member 24 with a larger sequence number will have a poor contact due to abutting against the stains on the power plug 300, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the power plug 300 and the power connector 100.

[0055] In some embodiments, a plurality of notches 245 are provided on the peripheral wall of each second ring portion 242, and the plurality of notches 245 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. A plurality of spring pieces 246 are fixedly connected to the periphery of each second ring portion 242, and each spring piece 246 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding notch 245. Each spring piece 246 is bent away from the insertion direction and abuts against the fixing ring 25 which is most adjacent to the second ring portion 242 and located on the first side of the second ring portion 242, so that the second ring portion 242 and the fixing ring 25 abutting against the spring piece 246 are spaced apart.

[0056] Meanwhile, in the insertion direction, the thickness of each fixing protrusion 251 may be smaller than the thickness of the corresponding second ring portion 242 .

[0057] It can be understood that when the power plug 300 abuts against the multiple elastic arms 241, the power plug 300 can apply pressure to the abutment member 24 along the insertion direction, and at this time, at least part of the fixing ring 25 in the conductive component 20 can press the spring sheet 246 located on the second side thereof, so that at least part of the adjacent second ring portion 242 and the fixing ring 25 are close to each other; the spring sheet 246 can be elastically deformed after being pressed, and buffer the pressure applied by the power plug 300, thereby reducing the probability of the conductive component 20 being damaged due to the insertion of the power plug 300. At the same time, the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation of the multiple spring sheets 246 can drive the first ring portion 234 to approach the first inner wall surface 114, and drive the Nth fixing ring 25 to approach the second inner wall surface 122, so that the first plane 21 and the second plane 22 of the base can respectively maintain contact with the first inner wall surface 114 and the second inner wall surface 122, so that the conductive component 20 can remain fixed to the housing 10 when the power plug 300 is not inserted.

[0058] When the fixing protrusion 251 abuts against the corresponding second ring portion 242, the fixing ring 25 where the fixing protrusion 251 is located cannot further press the spring piece 246 on the corresponding second ring portion 242. In this way, when the conductive component 20 is compressed by pressure, the spring piece 246 on the second ring portion 242 is prevented from being over-pressed by the adjacent fixing ring 25 and undergoing plastic deformation, thereby reducing the probability that the first inner wall surface 114 and the second inner wall surface 122 cannot clamp the conductive component 20 due to damage of the spring piece 246, thereby increasing the service life of the power connector 100.

[0059] Through the power connector 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the power plug 300 is plugged into the power connector 100, the second side of the power plug 300 can abut against the inner wall of the guide ring 231, and the conductive component 20 can be driven to move in the radial direction through the guidance of the guide ring 231 and the push of the power plug 300, so as to adjust the position of the base, so that the guide channel 232 can move from a position deviated from the power plug 300 to a position aligned with the power plug 300. As the power plug 300 moves, the power plug 300 can pass through the guide channel 232, and the power plug 300 can maintain abutment with the multiple elastic arms 241, so as to achieve electrical connection between the power plug 300 and the power connector 100.

[0060] Obviously, by clamping the base portion with the first inner wall surface 114 and the second inner wall surface 122, the conductive component 20 can be kept fixed when aligned with the guide channel 232 of the power plug 300, and when the power plug 300 deviates from the guide channel 232, the conductive component 20 can be moved under the push of the power plug 300, so as to align the conductive component 20 with the power plug 300. In this way, the errors in the size and installation position of the power connector 100 and the power plug 300 can be reduced, and the influence on the plugging of the power plug 300 and the power connector 100 can be reduced, and the convenience and stability of the connection between the power plug 300 and the power connector 100 can be improved.

[0061] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present application. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the above embodiments of the present application should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present application is defined by the attached claims rather than the above description, and therefore it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present application.
