[0019] Embodiment 1 As Figures 1-3 shown, Figure 1 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a floating connection terminal; Figure 2 is an exploded state diagram of a floating connection terminal; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a floating connection terminal. The floating connection terminal includes a carrier 1, a floating member 2, and a first conducting member 3. The first conducting member 3 is disposed between the carrier 1 and the floating member 2, and the floating member 2 can drive the first conducting member 3 to move relative to the carrier 1.

[0020] The carrier 1 has a first receiving groove 11. The first conducting member 3 is located in the first receiving groove 11, and the floating member 2 can drive the first conducting member 3 to move within the first receiving groove 11 to achieve position adjustment.

[0021] The carrier 1 further has a first through hole 12 which is axially formed and communicates with the first receiving groove 11. The floating member 2 has a connecting body 21 and a movable body 22. The connecting body 21 passes through the first through hole 12 and can move within the first through hole 12; the movable body 22 is disposed on the outer peripheral edge of the connecting body 21, and the first conducting member 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the movable body 22, and the movable body 22 can drive the first conducting member 3 to move within the first receiving groove 11.

[0022] Referring also together to Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown in Figure 4 is a three-dimensional structure diagram of the first conducting member 3; Figure 5 is another three-dimensional structure diagram of the first conducting member 3. The first conducting member 3 includes a support ring 31, a plurality of first elastic pieces 32 and a plurality of second elastic pieces 33. The plurality of first elastic pieces 32 are spaced apart and disposed at one end of the support ring 31, and the plurality of first elastic pieces 32 are distributed along the peripheral edge of the end of the support ring 31. At the same time, the plurality of first elastic pieces 32 are all opened in the direction of the inside of the support ring 31; the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 are spaced apart and disposed at the other end of the support ring 31, and the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 are distributed along the peripheral edge of the end of the support ring 31. At the same time, the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 are all opened in the direction of the inside of the support ring 31. The plurality of first elastic pieces 32 abut against one side wall of the first receiving groove 11 and one side of the outer surface of the movable body 22, and the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 abut against the other opposite side wall of the first receiving groove 11 and the other side of the outer surface of the movable body 22. Specifically, the support ring 31, the plurality of first elastic pieces 32 and the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 together form a second receiving groove 30, the movable body 22 is located in the second receiving groove 30, and the support ring 31, the plurality of first elastic pieces 32 and the plurality of second elastic pieces 33 all abut against the outer surface of the movable body 22. In specific applications, the shape of the second receiving groove 30 is adapted to the shape of the movable body 22 to facilitate their assembly. At the same time, the first conducting member 3 forms a wrapping form around the movable body 22, thereby enhancing the stability of their connection and increasing the contact area between them.

[0023] The first elastic piece 32 has a first arc surface 321 which is disposed at one end of the first elastic piece 32 close to the support ring 31, and the first arc surface 321 abuts against one side wall of the first receiving groove 11. Further, the first elastic piece 32 further has a second arc surface 322 which is disposed at one end of the first elastic piece 32 far from the support ring 31, and the protruding direction of the second arc surface 322 is opposite to the protruding direction of the first arc surface 321, and the second arc surface 322 abuts against the outer surface of the movable body 22.

[0024] The second elastic piece 33 has a third arc surface 331, and the third arc surface 331 is arranged at one end of the second elastic piece 33 close to the support ring 31, and the third arc surface 331 abuts against the other opposite side wall of the first receiving groove 11. Further, the second elastic piece 33 also has a fourth arc surface 332, and the fourth arc surface 332 is arranged at one end of the second elastic piece 33 far from the support ring 31, and the protruding direction of the fourth arc surface 332 is opposite to the protruding direction of the third arc surface 331, and the fourth arc surface 332 abuts against the outer surface of the movable body 22.

[0025] In specific applications, the first elastic piece 32 can have a plurality of first arc surfaces 321 and a plurality of second arc surfaces 322. Similarly, the second elastic piece 33 can also have a plurality of third arc surfaces 331 and a plurality of fourth arc surfaces 332.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first conducting member 3 is of an integral structure. When in use, the first conducting member 3 can be expanded so that its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the movable body 22. After the first conducting member 3 moves to the corresponding position, the external force is removed to make the first conducting member 3 retract, and finally it is sleeved on the outer surface of the movable body 22. In addition, another assembly method can also be adopted. For example, in the initial state, the first conducting member 3 is in a flattened state, and then the first conducting member 3 is directly attached along the outer peripheral edge of the movable body 22. After assembling by using this assembly method, there will be a notch on the support ring 31, and later it can be disassembled through this notch. Of course, the support ring 31 can also be closed finally to eliminate this notch.

[0027] As Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is the split state diagram of the first conducting member 3. In another embodiment, the first conducting member 3 can be cut axially so that the first conducting member 3 is divided into two parts. During assembly, only these two parts need to be sleeved on the outer surface of the movable body 22. For the convenience of installation and disassembly, the connection between the two can be achieved by setting the structure of the clamping block and the clamping groove.

[0028] As Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 is another split state diagram of the first conducting member 3. In another embodiment, the first conducting member 3 can be cut radially so that the first conducting member 3 is divided into two parts. During assembly, only these two parts need to be sleeved on the outer surface of the movable body 22. For the convenience of installation and disassembly, the connection between the two can be achieved by setting the structure of the clamping block and the clamping groove.

[0029] Please review Figure 2 and Figure 3, the floating connection terminal further includes a second conduction member 4. The connecting body 21 is axially provided with a second through hole 211, and the second conduction member 4 is disposed in the second through hole 211. An external pin is inserted into the second conduction member 4 and pushes the second conduction member 4 to expand outward, so that the contact area between the second conduction member 4 and the inner wall of the second through hole 211 is larger, thereby improving the current conduction performance. Further, the floating connection terminal further includes a fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 is sleeved on one end of the connecting body 21. At the same time, a clamping connection is formed among the fixing member 5, one end of the connecting body 21, and one end of the second conduction member 4 to improve the connection effect between the second conduction member 4 and the connecting body 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, both the first conduction member 3 and the second conduction member 4 are made of materials with high conductivity and high yield strength.

[0031] In summary, the second receiving groove 30 of the first conduction member 3 wraps the floating member 2, increasing the contact area between the first conduction member 3 and the floating member 2. During use, a larger current can flow between the carrier 1 and the floating member 2, thereby improving its current-carrying capacity and charging efficiency.

[0032] Embodiment 2 As Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 is a sectional view of the use scenario of the floating connection terminal. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the structure of the carrier 1 has changed, but its function is similar. The carrier 1 in this embodiment is changed in combination with the use scenario. In addition, two first receiving grooves 11 are provided in the carrier 1. Correspondingly, two floating members 2, two first conduction members 3, and two second conduction members 4 are provided. One floating member 2, one conduction member 3, and one second conduction member 4 form a group, and one group corresponds to one first receiving groove 11. In addition, this embodiment lacks the fixing member 5 compared with Embodiment 1.

[0033] The above is only the embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
