Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector technology, and more specifically to a connector for new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the electrification and intelligence levels of vehicles are constantly improving. As the core control unit of new energy vehicles, the stability and reliability of the battery management system are directly related to the performance and safety of the entire vehicle. In this system, a large number of electrical connectors used for transmitting signals, data and low-voltage power are widely used for interconnection between the battery control unit and components such as the cell sampling module, high-voltage monitoring module, and vehicle controller. These connectors need to withstand the harsh environment of vibration, high and low temperature cycles and potential chemical corrosion during long-term vehicle operation. Therefore, the mechanical reliability and ease of operation of their connection are of paramount importance.

[0003] Currently, signal connectors used in battery control units generally employ mechanical snap-fit ​​locking structures to ensure connection reliability. Common structures include single- or double-sided press-fit snaps, threaded tightening, lever locking, etc. These structures can usually indicate the locking position through a "click" sound or a clear tactile feel when inserted, and they have certain advantages in vibration resistance and anti-loosening.

[0004] To achieve high reliability, existing mechanical locking structures often include a main locking mechanism and a secondary safety mechanism to prevent accidental unlocking.

[0005] However, significant shortcomings are revealed during the pull-out operation when maintenance, repair, or replacement is required: the user cannot perform the pull-out operation in a continuous, natural motion. Instead, the user must manually operate each of these spatially separate and logically independent unlocking structures one by one. Only after all mechanical locking points have been released can the user hold the connector body to perform the final axial pull-out action. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a connector for new energy vehicles.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This type of connector for new energy vehicles includes:

[0009] Connector plugs connect to power cables and signal cables and are inserted into connector sockets on devices to transmit power and signals;

[0010] The plug assembly is fixed to the outside of the connector plug and can be plugged into the connector socket;

[0011] A locking element is disposed on the surface of the connector socket. During the mating process between the mating assembly and the connector socket, the locking element can be inserted into the locking engagement part inside the mating assembly to connect the mating assembly and the connector plug.

[0012] When separating the connector plug and connector socket, the trigger assembly is operated by manually rotating and pushing the trigger assembly continuously. The trigger structure inside the trigger assembly can trigger the locking member, and after triggering, the pressing part on the surface of the trigger assembly is pressed, causing the locking member to separate from the locking engagement part of the plug assembly.

[0013] Preferably, the connector socket is provided with a mating seat in the middle.

[0014] Preferably, the plug-in assembly includes an insulating block, the surface of which has a plug hole, and the inner side of the plug hole has a slot.

[0015] Preferably, the insulating block has a sliding groove three on the side near the socket, and a through hole is formed on the inner side of the sliding groove three, which communicates with the socket.

[0016] Preferably, a slide rail is provided on one side of the socket, and a groove is provided on the side of the insulating block near the slide rail.

[0017] Preferably, the locking member includes a locking rod inserted into the surface of the connector socket, the end of the locking rod is provided with a locking block, a first spring is also provided on one side of the locking rod, a support block is fixed to the end of the first spring, and a protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the support block.

[0018] Preferably, the triggering component includes a pressing part, the inner side of which is provided with a pressure plate, and the inner side of the triggering component is also provided with a paddle, which can push the protrusion during the process of pushing the triggering component.

[0019] Preferably, the rear surface of the insulating block has a mounting cavity, and a pushing component is provided in the mounting cavity.

[0020] Preferably, the pushing component includes a fixed plate, a second spring is fixed to the surface of the fixed plate, a slider is fixed to the end of the second spring, a groove is formed on one side wall of the slider, a third spring is connected in the groove, a limit block is fixed to the end of the third spring, a second sliding groove is formed on the outer wall of the insulating block, a second locking groove is formed on the side of the insulating block near the second sliding groove, and the limit block can be locked in the second locking groove.

[0021] When the plug assembly is plugged into the connector socket, the pressure bar on the surface of the connector socket is inserted into the mounting cavity, and as the plug assembly moves closer to the connector socket, the end of the pressure bar presses against the slider, which slides in the mounting cavity while compressing the second spring.

[0022] A groove is provided on one side wall of the slider, and a third spring is connected in the groove. A limit block is fixed to the end of the third spring. During the sliding of the slider in the mounting cavity, the third spring in the groove is in a compressed state, and the surface of the limit block coincides with the arc surface of the outer wall of the slider.

[0023] When the slider slides to the second slot position, the limiting block is pushed into the second slot by the third spring. Under the restriction of the limiting block, the slider cannot continue to slide. At this time, the second spring is in a compressed and stored state.

[0024] When separating the connector plug and connector socket, it should be noted that a trigger plate is provided on the inner side of the ring structure.

[0025] When the trigger assembly is rotated, it drives the trigger plate to move synchronously. When the trigger assembly rotates to the aforementioned stop position, the trigger plate pushes the limiting block located in the second slot as it passes through the second slide. When the limiting block is pushed, it squeezes the third spring. The limiting block moves into the groove inside the slider and retracts. At this time, the limiting block loses its limiting function. At the same time, the second spring quickly changes from the stored state to the released state. The second spring pushes the slider, and the slider pushes the pressure rod. The pulling force of the user's hand, combined with the pushing force of the second spring, greatly offsets the static friction and holding force between the plug and the connector socket, making the final pull-out action faster and easier, and the whole process is smooth without any jerking.

[0026] Preferably, the inner side of the trigger component is further provided with a recessed groove, the surface of the recessed groove is provided with protruding teeth, the outer wall of the insulating block is provided with a mounting groove, and a gear is connected to the mounting groove through a rotating shaft, the gear meshing with the protruding teeth.

[0027] (1) The present invention integrates a plug-in component and a rotatable trigger component on the outside of the plug. During the unplugging operation, the operator can trigger the trigger component sequentially by a single continuous triggering action (rotating, axially pushing and finally pressing in sequence) and release the locking component. This design makes the unlocking process unnecessary for the operator to change the grip position or perform multiple discrete steps. All unlocking procedures can be completed in a continuous and smooth gesture, and the plug can be directly pulled out. This significantly improves the continuity and efficiency of maintenance operations in narrow spaces. The present invention effectively solves the problem of cumbersome steps and discontinuous operation caused by the need to operate multiple independent locking components layer by layer in the prior art by optimizing the unlocking structure design.

[0028] (2) Based on further improvements to the trigger component, during the manual rotation of the trigger component, the trigger plate on it will accurately touch the push component located inside the plug component and in a pre-stored energy state, so that the push component can instantly switch from the stored energy state to the released state, and apply an axial thrust to the connector socket during this process. This thrust causes the plug component and the connector plug to generate a clear spring-opening tendency to separate from the connector socket. When the operator completes the unlocking and pulls out, the pre-set separation tendency greatly offsets the static friction and holding force between the plug and the connector socket, so that the final pull-out action is faster and less strenuous, and the whole process is smooth without any sense of jerkiness, further improving the continuity and efficiency of operation.

[0029] (3) Based on the plug-in assembly, by setting a gear on the outside of the plug-in assembly and configuring a convex tooth structure that meshes precisely with it on the inside of the trigger assembly, the accuracy and feedback of the operation process are significantly improved. When the trigger assembly is manually rotated, the meshing transmission of the gear and the convex tooth provides the operator with a clear sense of stage and damping, realizing precise and orderly control of the rotation process, effectively avoiding slippage or free rotation during operation. This improvement makes the mechanical action of the trigger locking part easier for the operator to clearly perceive, thereby further enhancing the reliability of the operation while achieving continuous unlocking.

[0062] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] The mechanical snap-fit ​​structure of connectors used in existing new energy vehicles, while ensuring connection reliability, relies on manually releasing multiple independent locking points, such as the main locking mechanism and the secondary safety mechanism, one by one for removal. This discontinuous operation mode of "unlocking step by step and then pulling out axially" reduces maintenance efficiency and increases operational complexity and the risk of misoperation within the space-constrained battery pack. To solve this technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0064] This application provides a connector for new energy vehicles, including: a connector plug 100, a connector socket 400, a trigger component 200, a plugging component 300, and a locking component 600;

[0065] The core improvement of the technical solution lies in the design of an integrated continuous trigger unlocking mechanism;

[0066] This mechanism allows users to smoothly release all locking mechanisms with a natural, continuous hand movement (a combination of rotation, pushing, and pressing) without changing grip points or performing multiple discrete steps, and ultimately separate the connector plug 100 from the connector socket 400, thereby significantly improving the consistency, intuitiveness, and overall efficiency of pulling out the connector plug 100.

[0067] Specifically: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a mating seat 500 is provided in the middle of the connector socket 400, and a connector plug 100 is inserted into one side of the mating seat 500.

[0068] The connector plug 100 has a plastic shell on the outside and a cable hole inside for inserting cables. The cable hole has a contact structure. Cables used for power transmission and signal transmission in new energy vehicles are inserted into the cable hole. The end of the cable contacts the contact structure to achieve signal transmission.

[0069] When the connector plug 100 is inserted into the connector socket 400, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a groove is provided at the end of the connector plug 100, which can be adapted to the contour of the surface of the mating seat 500. The mating seat 500 is also provided with a contact structure that cooperates with the contact structure in the cable hole. After the connector plug 100 is inserted into the mating seat 500, the contact structures inside the two come into contact, thereby realizing the transmission of power or signal.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the connector socket 400 has two locking elements 600 and two pressure rods 410 symmetrically arranged on its surface;

[0071] In practice, the connector socket 400 is fixedly connected to the electrical equipment inside the new energy vehicle. The various electrical devices inside the new energy vehicle transmit power and signals through the cooperation between the cables, connector plugs 100 and docking seats 500. This part is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0072] When the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400 are inserted, in order to make the insertion of the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400 more secure and safer, a plugging assembly 300 is connected to the outside of the connector plug 100. The plugging assembly 300 and the locking member 600 on the surface of the connector socket 400 are engaged and connected, making the insertion and disconnection of the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400 more reliable.

[0073] As one specific embodiment of the plug-in assembly 300 (first description):

[0074] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the plug assembly 300 has a hole in the middle to accommodate the connector plug 100. The connector plug 100 is inserted into the hole and fixed with bolts, so that the connector plug 100 and the plug assembly 300 are fixed together and can move synchronously.

[0075] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the plug-in assembly 300 includes an insulating block 380, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, an insertion hole 310 is provided on the surface of the insulating block 380, and a slot 3110 is provided on the inner side of the insertion hole 310.

[0076] As a specific embodiment of the locking element 600:

[0077] like Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown, the locking member 600 includes a locking rod 610 inserted into the surface of the connector socket 400, and a latching block 6110 is provided at the end of the locking rod 610, such as... Figure 16 As shown, a first spring 6220 is also provided on one side of the locking rod 610. A support block 620 is fixed to the end of the first spring 6220, and a protrusion 6210 is provided on the outer wall of the support block 620.

[0078] It should be noted that during the insertion process of the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400, if... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a groove is provided at the end of the connector plug 100 to mate with the mating seat 500;

[0079] During the process of the locking member 600 being inserted into the insertion hole 310 of the insulating block 380, the locking block 6110 at the end of the locking rod 610 automatically slides into the slot 3110 and is firmly locked in the slot 3110. At this time, the insulating block 380 is locked in place by the locking member 600, and pulling the plug-in assembly 300 will prevent it from disengaging from the docking seat 500 and the connector socket 400.

[0080] As a specific implementation of the triggering component 200:

[0081] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the trigger component 200 has a ring structure, which includes a pressing part 230. A pressure plate 240 is provided on the inner side of the pressing part 230, and a paddle 250 is also provided on the inner side of the ring structure.

[0082] In the first description:

[0083] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the plug-in assembly 300 also includes: an insulating block 380 with a sliding groove 360 ​​on the side near the plug hole 310, and a through hole 370 on the inner side of the sliding groove 360, which communicates with the plug hole 310.

[0084] A slide rail 320 is provided on one side of the socket 310, and a groove 330 is provided on the side of the insulating block 380 near the slide rail 320.

[0085] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the ring structure is sleeved on the outside of the plug-in assembly 300. During the process of pulling out the plug-in assembly 300, the user rotates the ring structure by hand, so that the ring structure reaches the desired position. Figure 11 and Figure 12 After the state shown, the position of the pressure plate 240 corresponds to one side of the slide groove 360, and the position of the paddle 250 corresponds to one side of the slide 320.

[0086] When the ring structure is pushed, the ring structure drives the pressure plate 240 and the lever 250 to move horizontally. The lever 250 pushes the protrusion 6210 of the support block 620 to move in the slide 320. After the pressure plate 240 moves to one side of the through hole 370 and the protrusion 6210 is blocked by the insulating block 380, the ring structure can no longer move. At this time, the operation of rotating the ring structure and pushing the ring structure to move axially has been completed.

[0087] By pressing the pressing part 230 with your hand, the pressing part 230 is a soft structure that can deform under pressure. The pressing part 230 squeezes the pressing plate 240 towards the inside of the annular structure. The pressing plate 240 is pressed into the through hole 370. After the pressing plate 240 passes through the through hole 370, it squeezes the locking block 6110 at the end of the locking rod 610. The locking block 6110 disengages from the slot 3110. Pulling the insulating block 380 can drive the connector plug 100 and the trigger assembly 200 to move synchronously and disengage from the docking seat 500 and the connector socket 400.

[0088] It should be noted that when the ring structure is rotated, the ring structure drives the paddle 250 to move. The paddle 250 moves in the slide groove 330. When the paddle 250 moves to the end of the slide groove 330, it is blocked by the insulating block 380 and cannot move further (stop position). At this time, the user can feel that the ring structure cannot be rotated further, and then the user can push the ring structure. This structural design helps the user to perceive whether the ring structure has rotated to the designated position, making it convenient to push the ring structure.

[0089] Through the above technical solution, when pulling out the connector plug 100 and the insertion component 300, the operator can sequentially trigger the trigger component 200 and release the locking component 600 through a single, continuous triggering action (rotation drive, axial push and final press). This design allows the unlocking process to be completed in a continuous and smooth gesture without the operator changing the grip position or performing multiple discrete steps, and finally directly pulling out the connector plug 100. This significantly improves the continuity, efficiency and human-computer interaction experience of maintenance operations in narrow spaces. By optimizing the unlocking structure design, this invention effectively solves the problem of cumbersome steps and discontinuous operation caused by the need to operate multiple independent locking components layer by layer in the prior art.

[0090] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, an installation cavity 390 is provided on the rear surface of the insulating block 380, and a pushing assembly 700 is provided in the installation cavity 390.

[0091] As a specific implementation of the driving component 700:

[0092] like Figure 19 As shown, the pushing component 700 includes a fixed plate 710, and the insulating block 380 of the fixed plate 710 is fixedly connected by bolts. A second spring 720 is fixed on the surface of the fixed plate 710, and a slider 730 is fixed at the end of the second spring 720.

[0093] When the plug assembly 300 is plugged into the connector socket 400, the pressure bar 410 on the surface of the connector socket 400 is inserted into the mounting cavity 390, and as the plug assembly 300 moves closer to the connector socket 400, the end of the pressure bar 410 presses against the slider 730, and the slider 730 slides in the mounting cavity 390 while compressing the second spring 720.

[0094] A groove is provided on one side wall of the slider 730, and a third spring 7310 is connected in the groove. A limit block 7320 is fixed at the end of the third spring 7310. During the sliding of the slider 730 in the mounting cavity 390, the third spring 7310 in the groove is in a compressed state, and the surface of the limit block 7320 coincides with the arc surface of the outer wall of the slider 730.

[0095] When slider 730 slides to... Figure 6 , Figure 8 After the card slot 2 3410 position is shown, the limiting block 7320 is pushed into the card slot 2 3410 by the third spring 7310. Under the restriction of the limiting block 7320, the slider 730 cannot continue to slide. At this time, the second spring 720 is in a compressed and stored state.

[0096] When separating the connector plug 100 from the connector socket 400, it should be noted that a trigger piece 260 is provided on the inner side of the annular structure (e.g., Figure 20 As shown in the first description, the plug-in assembly 300 also includes a groove 340 formed on the outer wall of the insulating block 380;

[0097] During the rotation of the aforementioned annular structure (trigger assembly 200), the annular structure drives the trigger piece 260 to move synchronously. When the annular structure rotates to the aforementioned stop position, the trigger piece 260 pushes the limiting block 7320 located in the slot 3410 as it passes through the slide groove 340. When the limiting block 7320 is pushed, it compresses the third spring 7310. The limiting block 7320 moves towards the groove inside the slider 730 and retracts. At this time, the limiting block 7320 loses its limiting function. At the same time, the second spring 720 quickly changes from the stored state to the released state. The second spring 720 pushes the slider 730, and the slider 730 pushes the pressure rod 410. The pulling force of the user's hand, combined with the pushing force of the second spring 720, greatly offsets the static friction and holding force between the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400, thereby making the final pull-out action faster and easier, and the whole process is smooth without any jerking.

[0098] Through the above technical solution, based on further improvements to the trigger component 200, during the manual rotation of the trigger component 200, the trigger piece 260 on it will accurately touch the push component 700 located inside the plug component 300 and pre-stored in an energy-accumulating state, so that the push component 700 can instantly switch from the energy-accumulating state to the release state, and apply an axial thrust to the connector socket 400 during this process. This thrust causes the plug component 300 and the connector plug 100 as a whole to generate a clear spring-opening tendency to separate from the connector socket 400. When the operator completes the unlocking and applies force to pull out, this pre-set separation tendency greatly offsets the static friction and holding force between the connector plug 100 and the connector socket 400, so that the final pull-out action is faster and less effortful, and the whole process is smooth without any sense of jerkiness, further improving the continuity and efficiency of operation.

[0099] like Figure 20 As shown, a recessed groove 210 is also provided on the inner side of the trigger component 200, and the surface of the recessed groove 210 is provided with protruding teeth 220, such as... Figure 2As shown, the outer wall of the insulating block 380 is provided with a mounting groove 350. A gear 800 is connected to the mounting groove 350 through a rotating shaft. The gear 800 meshes with the tooth 220. During the rotation of the ring structure (trigger component 200), the tooth 22 on its inner side rotates synchronously with the ring structure. The gear 800 is driven by the meshing of the tooth 220, thereby obtaining driving torque and starting to rotate. During the meshing transmission, the rotational inertia and tooth surface friction of the gear 800 will form a smooth damping feeling, providing clear tactile feedback to the operator's fingers. When there is no external force, the meshing of the gear 800 and the tooth 220 can form a certain self-locking or positioning effect at any position due to the helix angle or static friction, preventing the ring structure from accidentally rotating or loosening due to vehicle vibration, thereby maintaining the stability of the locked state.

[0100] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
