TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and particularly relates to a use method of an isolated water-cooled large-current direct-current charging device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, the demand for large-current direct-current charging technology is increasing. Large-current direct-current charging can achieve fast charging, greatly shorten the charging time of electric vehicles, and improve the convenience of use. However, a large amount of heat is generated during the large-current charging process, which will cause serious damage to the charging equipment and electric vehicles if not effectively dissipated.
[0003] Traditional charging plugs have many limitations in terms of heat dissipation. Most ordinary charging plugs use natural cooling or air cooling. During large-current charging, the natural cooling efficiency is low, and it is difficult to quickly remove heat, resulting in a sharp rise in internal temperature of the plug, affecting the performance and life of electrical components, and even causing safety hazards. Although the air cooling method improves the heat dissipation effect to some extent, it requires additional fans and other equipment, increasing the size and cost of the charging plug, and the noise and dust accumulation problems caused by the operation of the fan cannot be ignored.
[0004] At the same time, electrical insulation and safety protection are crucial during large-current transmission. The structural design of traditional charging plugs cannot provide reliable insulation and isolation in a large-current environment. Once insulation failure occurs, it is easy to cause safety accidents such as short circuit and electric shock, threatening personnel and equipment safety.
[0005] In addition, the fixation and protection of the cable also face challenges during large-current charging. The electromagnetic force and heat generated when large current passes through the cable can cause the cable to loosen and wear, affecting the stability and safety of charging. Moreover, the locking mechanism of the charging plug and the charging socket is not stable enough, and may loosen or disconnect during the charging process due to external forces, interrupting the charging process and even damaging the charging equipment.

[0017] An advantage of the present application is that: Charging contact and water cooling cooperation: The main charging contact is cooperatively arranged with the water cooling device, and the main terminal installation groove is cooperatively arranged with an annular bearing plate for bearing and protecting the water cooling device. When a large current passes through the main charging contact, a large amount of heat will be generated, and the water cooling device can timely take away the heat to prevent the main charging contact from being damaged or having performance degradation due to overheating. The annular bearing plate ensures the stable installation of the water cooling device, so that it can continuously and effectively play a role, thereby prolonging the service life of the main charging contact and the water cooling device.
[0018] Sealing and separation ensure water cooling and electrical safety: The rear end of the main charging contact is provided with a sealing ring, and a separation plate is cooperatively arranged to divide the end region into a water cooling installation module and a cable connection module. The sealing ring prevents the water cooling liquid from leaking into the cable connection area, avoiding electrical faults such as short circuit caused by liquid leakage. The separation plate further clearly defines the functional division of the two modules, so that the water cooling device and the cable connection do not interfere with each other, ensuring the water cooling effect and electrical safety of the entire charging plug.
[0019] Water cooling circulation system: The water cooling device includes a first liquid cooling box, which is internally provided with a liquid cooling water flow channel and constitutes a water cooling circulation through a liquid cooling water inlet pipeline and a liquid cooling water delivery pipeline. The liquid cooling water continuously flows in the water cooling circulation, can continuously and effectively absorb the heat generated during the charging process, and take the heat out of the charging plug, so as to ensure that the temperature inside the charging plug is always maintained within a reasonable range, and the charging process is stably carried out.
[0020] Second liquid cooling box enhances heat dissipation effect: The liquid cooling water delivery pipeline is also connected with a second liquid cooling box, which further expands the heat dissipation area of the water cooling and enhances the heat dissipation effect. Especially during large current charging, the temperature inside the charging plug can be reduced more quickly and effectively, and the safety and efficiency of the charging are improved.

[0021] The cable limiting module has multi-level limiting precision fixing: the arc-shaped limiting unit is internally provided with limiting protrusions, and a limiting arc plate is arranged between the two limiting protrusions, and a plurality of limiting blocks are arranged on the limiting arc plate. This multi-level limiting structure can more accurately control the position of the cable, prevent the movement of the cable in the horizontal and vertical directions, and improve the reliability of the cable fixing. At the same time, the limiting blocks on the upper and lower sides of the limiting protrusions are arranged in a relative inclined surface structure, which can guide the installation of the cable, make the cable more easily enter the limiting position, and the inclined surface structure can better disperse the stress and reduce the damage to the cable when the cable is subjected to external force.
[0022] Locking device operation and safety protection: the locking device includes a locking protection shell and a pressing shell, and the pressing shell is connected with a lock strip through bolts, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate. A connecting block is arranged below the connection between the pressing shell and the lock strip, and a telescopic column is arranged inside the connecting block below the pressing shell. The telescopic column is arranged in cooperation with the lock strip, which can provide stable support and guidance during locking and unlocking to ensure the accurate action of the lock strip. A reset spring is arranged at the end of the lock strip, which can automatically reset the lock strip after unlocking, facilitating the next locking operation and improving the convenience of the locking device.
[0023] Linkage and current interruption ensure operation safety: a linkage block is arranged on one side of the lock strip, and a current interrupter is arranged below the linkage block. When the lock strip operates, the current interrupter is driven to work through the linkage block, realizing the current on-off control during the locking and unlocking of the charging plug and the socket. A lifting switch is arranged on one side of the top of the current interrupter, and a connecting rib plate is arranged on the other side. The connecting rib plate extends towards the side of the lifting switch. The lifting switch, the connecting rib plate and the linkage block are arranged in cooperation, which can cut off or connect the current in time during the locking or unlocking process, avoiding the generation of electric arc when the connection is unstable, ensuring the safety of the operator and protecting the charging equipment.
[0024] The application also provides a use method of the isolated water-cooled large-current direct-current charging device, characterized in that the use method comprises the following steps: Step one: open the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact of the charging plug, carefully align the plug contact of the charging plug with the corresponding interface of the charging socket, and slowly insert to ensure that the plug contact is completely and accurately connected with the socket interface; Step two: operate the locking device, press the pressing shell downward, and the lock strip connected with the pressing shell moves downward. The lock strip is connected with the pressing shell through bolts. During the pressing process, the telescopic column in the connecting block acts in cooperation with the lock strip to ensure the stable descent of the lock strip. Step three: when the lock strip moves to the appropriate position, the reset spring at the end of the lock strip acts to firmly lock the lock strip with the corresponding locking structure on the charging socket, ensuring that the charging plug and the charging socket will not be separated during the charging process. Step four: During the locking process, the linkage block on one side of the locking strip moves; the current interrupter is arranged below the linkage block, when the linkage block moves to a specific position, the lifting switch at the top of the current interrupter is triggered, through the action of the connecting rib plate, the current interrupter is in the normal conduction state, allowing current to pass through the charging circuit for charging operation; Step five: When the charging starts, the water cooling system is started, the cooling liquid enters the liquid cooling water inlet pipeline into the liquid cooling water flow channel of the first liquid cooling box, and the heating components such as the main charging contact are cooled, and the cooling liquid after absorbing heat flows to the second liquid cooling box through the liquid cooling water conveying pipeline, and is further cooled or circulated back to the cooling source in the second liquid cooling box, forming a continuous water cooling cycle, ensuring that the temperature inside the plug is within a safe range during charging; Step six: Under the condition that the locking is firm and the water cooling system is normal, the large current passes through the cable line in the cable connection module, is transmitted to the charging socket through the main charging contact and the secondary charging contact, and direct current charging is performed for the equipment; Step seven: When the charging is completed, first press the lifting switch at the top of the current interrupter, through the action of the connecting rib plate and the linkage block, the current interrupter cuts off the charging circuit and stops the current transmission; Step eight: Press the lower pressing shell downward to overcome the elastic force of the reset spring at the end of the locking strip, so that the locking strip moves upward and releases the locking state with the charging socket; Step nine: Slowly pull out the charging plug from the charging socket, and cover the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact after pulling out the charging plug to protect the contact from the influence of the external environment.
[0025] Another beneficial effect of the present application is: Precise docking guarantee: In step one, it is clearly required to carefully align the plug contact of the charging plug with the corresponding interface of the charging socket and slowly insert it to ensure complete and accurate docking. This precise docking operation effectively avoids electric sparks caused by poor contact, greatly reduces the risk of electrical fire caused by contact problems, and ensures the safety of the operator and the equipment.
[0026] Reliable locking mechanism: Steps two to three operate the locking device, and the lower pressing shell, the locking strip, the reset spring and other components cooperate to firmly lock the charging plug and the charging socket. This reliable locking structure ensures that the charging plug will not be accidentally separated due to external force during charging, preventing the risk of electric shock caused by plug falling off, and providing stable safety protection for the charging process.
[0027] Current blocking protection: Steps four and seven set up the current blocking device and its triggering mechanism. During the locking process, the linkage block moves to trigger the current blocking device to be in the normal conduction state; after the charging is completed, the lifting switch is pressed to cut off the charging circuit. This design enables precise control of the on-off of the current, and when the charging is completed or an abnormal situation occurs, the current can be quickly cut off to avoid safety accidents caused by continuous current flow.
[0028] Efficient water-cooled heat dissipation: Step five describes the operation process of the water-cooling system in detail. The cooling liquid enters from the liquid cooling water inlet pipeline, flows through the first liquid cooling box and the second liquid cooling box in turn, cools the heating components such as the main charging contact, and forms a continuous water-cooling cycle. This efficient heat dissipation method can timely remove the heat generated during charging, effectively reduce the internal temperature of the plug, prevent the charging efficiency from being reduced and the equipment from being damaged due to overheating, and ensure the stability and efficiency of the large-current direct-current charging.
[0029] Stable current transmission: Step six points out that under the condition that the locking is firm and the water-cooling system is normally running, the large current can be stably transmitted to the charging socket through the cable line in the cable connection module, through the main charging contact and the secondary charging contact. Reliable locking structure and water-cooling system provide a stable physical environment and suitable temperature conditions for current transmission, reduce interference and loss in the current transmission process, and ensure the smooth progress of the charging process.
[0030] When the charging plug is in operation, the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact is opened, the charging plug is held by hand, the plug contact is carefully aligned with the corresponding interface of the charging socket, and the plug contact is inserted slowly and smoothly to ensure that the plug contact and the socket interface are completely and accurately connected, and to avoid poor contact or damage to the components due to inaccurate connection. The lower pressing shell is pressed downward by hand, and the connected locking strip is moved downward synchronously. The locking strip is connected to the lower pressing shell by a bolt, and in the pressing process, the extension column in the connecting block cooperates with the locking strip to ensure that the locking strip descends smoothly and prevents jamming or deviation.
[0031] When the locking strip moves to the appropriate position, the reset spring at the end of the locking strip starts to work, and the spring force makes the locking strip firmly locked with the corresponding locking structure on the charging socket, ensuring that the charging plug and the charging socket will not be separated due to external force during the charging process, and ensuring the safety and stability of the charging process. During the locking process, the linkage block on one side of the locking strip moves with the movement of the locking strip. The linkage block is provided below the locking strip, and when the linkage block moves to a specific position, it triggers the lifting switch at the top of the current blocking device, and through the action of the connecting rib plate, the current blocking device is in the normal conduction state, allowing the current to pass through the charging circuit and preparing for subsequent charging operation.
[0032] When the charging starts, the water cooling system is started. The cooling liquid enters the liquid cooling water flow channel of the first liquid cooling box from the liquid cooling water inlet pipeline, cools the heat generating components such as the main charging contact, and the cooling liquid after absorbing heat flows to the second liquid cooling box through the liquid cooling water delivery pipeline, is further cooled or circulated back to the cooling source in the second liquid cooling box, forms a continuous water cooling cycle, effectively reduces the internal temperature of the plug, and ensures that the internal temperature of the plug is always within a safe range during the charging process. In the case of firm locking and normal operation of the water cooling system, a large current passes through the cable line in the cable connection module, is transmitted to the charging socket through the main charging contact and the secondary charging contact, and direct current charging is performed on the equipment. After the charging is completed, the lifting switch at the top of the current breaker is pressed down first, the current breaker cuts off the charging circuit through the action of the connecting rib plate and the linkage block, the current transmission is stopped, and the operation safety is ensured.
[0033] The lower shell is pressed downward again, the locking strip is moved upward against the elastic force of the reset spring at the end of the locking strip, and the locking state with the charging socket is released. The charging plug is slowly pulled out of the charging socket, and the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact is covered in time after being pulled out, so that the contact is protected from the influence of the external environment and the service life of the plug is prolonged.

Step five: when the charging starts, the water cooling system is started, the cooling liquid enters the liquid cooling water flow channel 22 of the first liquid cooling box 21 from the liquid cooling water inlet pipeline 23, and the heat generated by the main charging contact 14 and other heat generating components is absorbed, and the cooling liquid flows to the second liquid cooling box 25 through the liquid cooling water conveying pipeline 24, and is further cooled or circulated back to the cooling source in the second liquid cooling box 25, so that a continuous water cooling cycle is formed, and the temperature inside the plug is ensured to be within a safe range during the charging process; Step six: under the condition that the locking is firm and the water cooling system is normally operated, a large current passes through the cable line in the cable connection module 19, is transmitted to the charging socket through the main charging contact 14 and the secondary charging contact 13, and direct current charging is performed on the equipment; Step seven: when the charging is completed, the lifting switch 43 at the top of the current breaker 42 is pressed first, the current breaker 42 is cut off through the action of the connecting rib plate 44 and the linkage block 41, and the current transmission is stopped; Step eight: the lower pressing shell 36 is pressed downward, the locking strip 37 is moved upward against the elastic force of the reset spring 40 at the end of the locking strip 37, and the locking state with the charging socket is released; Step nine: the charging plug is slowly pulled out of the charging socket, and after the charging plug is pulled out, the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact 3 is covered in time to protect the contact from the influence of the external environment.
[0059] When the charging plug is used, the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact 3 is opened, the charging plug is held by hand, the plug contact 3 is carefully aligned with the corresponding interface of the charging socket, and the plug contact 3 is inserted in a slow and smooth manner to ensure that the plug contact 3 is completely and accurately connected with the socket interface, so that poor contact or damaged components caused by inaccurate connection are avoided. The lower pressing shell 36 is pressed downward by hand, and the connected locking strip 37 is moved downward synchronously. The locking strip 37 is connected with the lower pressing shell 36 through a bolt, and in the pressing process, the extension column 39 in the connecting block 38 cooperates with the locking strip 37 to ensure that the locking strip 37 descends stably and prevents jamming or deviation.
[0060] When the locking strip 37 moves to the appropriate position, the reset spring 40 at the end of the locking strip 37 starts to work, the locking strip 37 is firmly locked with the corresponding locking structure on the charging socket by the elastic force of the spring, and the charging plug and the charging socket are prevented from being separated due to external force during the charging process, so that the safety and stability of the charging process are ensured. During the locking process, the linkage block 41 on one side of the locking strip 37 moves with the locking strip 37. The current breaker 42 is arranged below the linkage block 41, and when the linkage block 41 moves to a specific position, the lifting switch 43 at the top of the current breaker 42 is triggered, the current breaker 42 is in a normal conduction state through the action of the connecting rib plate 44, and the current is allowed to pass through the charging circuit, so that the subsequent charging operation is prepared.
[0061] When the charging starts, the water cooling system is started. The cooling liquid enters the liquid cooling water inlet pipeline 23 into the liquid cooling water flow channel 22 of the first liquid cooling box 21, and cools the heat generating components such as the main charging contact 14, and the cooling liquid after absorbing heat flows to the second liquid cooling box 25 through the liquid cooling water conveying pipeline 24, and is further cooled or circulated back to the cooling source in the second liquid cooling box 25, forming a continuous water cooling cycle, effectively reducing the internal temperature of the plug, and ensuring that the internal temperature of the plug is always within a safe range during the charging process. In the case of firm locking and normal operation of the water cooling system, a large current passes through the cable line in the cable connection module 19, is transmitted to the charging socket through the main charging contact 14 and the secondary charging contact 13, and direct current charging is performed on the equipment. After the charging is completed, the lifting switch 43 at the top of the current breaker 42 is pressed down first, the current breaker 42 is cut off through the action of the connecting rib plate 44 and the linkage block 41, the current transmission is stopped, and the operation safety is ensured.
[0062] The lower shell 36 is pressed downward again, the locking strip 37 is moved upward to overcome the elastic force of the reset spring 40 at the end of the locking strip 37, and the locking state with the charging socket is released. The charging plug is slowly pulled out of the charging socket, and the protective cover at the outlet of the plug contact 3 is covered in time after being pulled out, so that the contact is protected from the external environment and the service life of the plug is prolonged.
