Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of vehicle socket technology, and particularly relates to a socket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, for new energy vehicles, compared to the external discharge solution using an discharge gun, directly using a socket is more convenient and its application is becoming more widespread.

[0003] Currently, sockets typically consist of a socket base, a socket, a micro switch, and a safety shutter assembly. The socket has a socket hole, the socket is installed inside the socket base and is arranged opposite to the socket hole, and the safety shutter assembly covers the socket hole. During plug insertion, the plug prongs push the safety shutter assembly, which moves and makes contact with the micro switch, energizing the socket.

[0004] However, for the above structure, when the protective door moves and triggers the micro switch, it can only confirm that the protective door has moved, but cannot confirm that the pin has been inserted into the socket. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a socket and a vehicle that can solve the technical problems existing in the related art. The technical solutions of the socket and the vehicle are as follows: In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a socket, the socket including a socket base, a socket, a transmission assembly and a micro switch; The socket has a connected socket, a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity, the second receiving cavity being located in a first direction of the first receiving cavity, the first direction being perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug; The sleeve is located within the first receiving cavity and is arranged opposite to the insertion hole; The micro switch is located inside the second receiving cavity; The transmission component is at least partially located within the socket, and is configured to abut against the pins of a plug inserted into the socket. The transmission component is capable of moving along the first direction under the actuation of the pins, triggering the micro switch to put the micro switch in a triggered state.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the transmission assembly is slidably connected to the socket.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the first receiving cavity has a slide rail structure that extends along the first direction; The transmission component has a groove structure on the side opposite to the insertion hole. The groove structure is adapted to the slide rail structure and engages with the slide rail structure.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the first receiving cavity has a plurality of slide rail structures, which are arranged at intervals and extend in the same direction; The transmission assembly has multiple groove structures, and each groove structure corresponds to a different slide rail structure.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the first receiving cavity has two abutment platforms, which extend along the first direction respectively; The transmission assembly has limiting protrusions on both sides, and each limiting protrusion is slidably connected to an abutment platform.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the socket has a clearance through hole that communicates with the second receiving cavity, and the clearance through hole is used for the passage of the connecting wire harness of the micro switch.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a snap-fit ​​structure is provided within the second receiving cavity, the snap-fit ​​structure including a base and a plurality of snaps; The base has a receiving groove that receives a portion of the micro switch to radially limit the micro switch. The plurality of latches are connected to the opening of the receiving groove, and the plurality of latches are used to axially limit the micro switch.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the transmission assembly includes a slider and a drive element, wherein the drive element is a spring; The driving component is connected to the socket and the sliding component respectively. The driving component is used to drive the sliding component to slide along a second direction so that the micro switch returns to the untriggered state. The second direction is the opposite of the first direction.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the wall surface of the second receiving cavity opposite to the slider has two spring mounting posts, which are distributed on both sides of the micro switch. The driving component includes two springs, one end of each spring is fitted onto a spring mounting post, and the other end is connected to the sliding component.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the socket is a standard five-hole socket, and the first direction is the direction from the three-hole portion of the socket to the two-hole portion.

[0015] Secondly, this disclosure provides a vehicle that includes the sockets in the first aspect and possible implementations thereof.

[0016] The technical solution provided in this disclosure includes at least the following beneficial effects: This disclosure provides a socket in which, as the prongs are gradually inserted into the socket sleeve, the prongs abut against the portion of the transmission component located within the socket sleeve. This causes the transmission component to slide under the braking of the prongs, ultimately triggering a micro switch and keeping the micro switch in a triggered state. The socket thus achieves the ability to sense the insertion of the prongs into the socket sleeve. Furthermore, an external discharge energy storage device (such as an electric vehicle) equipped with this socket can control its own energy storage battery to discharge to the socket sleeve when it senses the signal that the external prongs are inserted into the socket sleeve and connected to it, thereby achieving a safe external discharge function.

[0023] Currently, for new energy vehicles, using a socket is more convenient and increasingly widely used compared to external discharge methods using a discharge gun. A typical socket consists of a socket base, a socket, a micro switch, and a protective door assembly. The socket has a socket hole, the socket is installed inside the socket base and positioned opposite the socket hole, and the protective door assembly covers the socket hole. During plug insertion, the plug prongs push the protective door assembly, which moves and contacts the micro switch, energizing the socket. However, current sockets are relatively thick, resulting in limited flexibility in socket placement.

[0024] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a socket that can be used in vehicles for supplying power to external electrical appliances, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the socket includes a socket base 1, a socket 2, a transmission assembly 3, and a micro switch 4.

[0025] Specifically, see Figure 1 The socket 1 includes a base 101 and a cover plate 102. The base 101 has a top opening and internally has a first receiving cavity 1010 and a second receiving cavity 1011 that are connected. The cover plate 102 has insertion holes 11 extending through both sides and can cover the top opening of the base 101. When the base 101 and the cover plate 102 are assembled, the socket 1 has interconnected insertion holes 11, a first receiving cavity 1010, and a second receiving cavity 1011. The insertion holes 11 are used for inserting the pins of the socket, and the axial direction of the insertion holes 11 is the insertion direction of the pins. The first receiving cavity 1010 is located in the insertion direction of the insertion holes 11, and the second receiving cavity 1011 is located in a first direction of the first receiving cavity 1010, which is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pins. The insertion holes 11 can be two-hole, three-hole, or five-hole. Figure 1 The five-hole socket shown allows the socket to be compatible with different types of electrical appliances. In implementation, the base 101 and the cover 102 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection or a threaded connection; this disclosure does not limit the specific connection method. In some examples, the socket 11 is a standard five-hole socket; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The first direction is the direction from the three-hole portion of the socket 11 to the two-hole portion. Specifically, it is the direction from the N-pole hole in the three-hole portion to the N-pole hole in the two-hole portion.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 2 is installed within the first receiving cavity 1010, and the sleeve 2 is arranged opposite to the socket 11, that is, the sleeve 2 is located in the insertion direction of the socket 11, so that the pin can be smoothly inserted into the sleeve 2 after passing through the socket 11 to obtain power. It is easy to understand that the type and size of the sleeve 2 are adapted to the socket 11. In implementation, the sleeve 2 can be installed in the first receiving cavity 1010 by a snap-fit ​​connection, or the sleeve 2 can be installed in the first receiving cavity 1010 by a threaded connection or adhesive connection to improve the connection stability between the sleeve 2 and the sleeve holder 1. This embodiment does not limit the specific method used.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the transmission assembly 3 is installed inside the socket 1, located at the transition position between the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011. At least a portion of the transmission assembly 3 is located within the first receiving cavity 1010. The micro switch 4 is installed within the second receiving cavity 1011. At least a portion of the transmission assembly 3 located within the first receiving cavity 1010 is located within the socket 2, allowing it to abut against the pin inserted into the socket 2. It is easy to understand that when the pin is not inserted into the socket 2, the transmission assembly 3 and the micro switch 4 are not in contact or are at a distance greater than the trigger distance. As the pin is gradually inserted into the socket 2, the transmission assembly 3 can move along the first direction towards the second receiving cavity 1011 under the actuation of the pin. During this process, the transmission assembly 3 gradually approaches the micro switch and eventually triggers the micro switch 4. When the pin is not removed from the socket, the relative position of the transmission assembly 3 inside the socket remains fixed, so that the micro switch 4 remains in the triggered state. The specific structure of the transmission assembly 3 will be described in detail below, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The microswitch 4 can be electrically connected to the vehicle's control module. When triggered, the microswitch 4 sends an electrical signal to the control module. Upon receiving this signal, the control module sends a power-on signal to the EMS (Energy Management System). Upon receiving the power-on signal, the EMS controls the high-voltage power supply component to energize the high-voltage wiring harness connected to the socket, thus powering the socket. When not triggered, the microswitch 4 cannot send an electrical signal to the control module. When the control module does not receive an electrical signal, it will not send a power-on signal to the EMS, and the high-voltage wiring harness connected to the socket remains de-energized, thus de-energizing the socket. In some examples, the microswitch 4 can be a contact microswitch. This type of microswitch can be triggered and send an electrical signal to the control module as long as it comes into contact with the transmission component 3. In some examples, the microswitch 4 can be a push-button microswitch. This type of microswitch requires deformation under the actuation of the transmission component 3 to be triggered and send an electrical signal to the control module. In other examples, the micro switch 4 can also be a capacitive micro switch. For this type of micro switch, as long as the distance between the transmission component 3 and the micro switch is less than the trigger distance, the micro switch can be in the triggered state and send an electrical signal to the control module. The specific type of micro switch 4 can be selected by the technician according to actual needs. Unless otherwise specified in this article, the micro switch 4 usually refers to a push-button micro switch, the specific structure of which will be described in detail below.

[0029] Using the technical solution provided in this embodiment, in the socket, as the pin is gradually inserted into the sleeve 2, the pin abuts against the portion of the transmission component 3 located inside the sleeve 2, causing the transmission component 3 to slide under the braking of the pin and ultimately trigger the micro switch 4, keeping the micro switch 4 in the triggered state. The socket thus realizes the sensing that the pin has been inserted into the sleeve. Furthermore, an external discharge energy storage device (such as an electric vehicle) equipped with this socket can control its own energy storage battery to discharge to the sleeve when it senses the signal that the external pin has been inserted into the socket and connected to the sleeve, thereby realizing a safe external discharge function. Furthermore, inside the socket 1, the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011 respectively accommodate the socket 2 and the micro switch 4. The second receiving cavity 1011 is located in the first direction of the first receiving cavity 1010, and the first direction is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin. That is, the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011 are distributed on a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin, which can reduce the overall thickness of the socket, thereby making the socket more versatile in terms of installation location in the vehicle and improving the flexibility of socket layout.

[0030] The following is a detailed description of the socket's specific structure: In some examples, the second receiving cavity 1011 is connected to the side of the first receiving cavity 1010. See also Figure 3 The seat 101 has a cube-like structure. The cube structure has a first receiving cavity 1010 and multiple retaining ribs inside. The insert 2 can be arranged in the first receiving cavity 1010 and is limited and fixed by the multiple retaining ribs. One side wall of the seat 101 has a protrusion that extends in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction (i.e., the first direction). The interior of the protrusion forms a second receiving cavity 1011, and the second receiving cavity 1011 is connected to the side of the first receiving cavity 1010.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, the transmission assembly 3 is slidably connected to the socket 1. See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 The transmission assembly 3 is capable of sliding relative to the socket 1 in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is the opposite of the first direction. In implementation, as the transmission assembly 3 slides relative to the socket 1 along the first direction, it gradually moves towards the second receiving cavity 1011, causing the micro switch 4 to be in a triggered state. As the transmission assembly 3 slides relative to the socket 1 along the second direction, it gradually moves towards the first receiving cavity 1010, causing the micro switch to return to an untriggered state.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, the transmission assembly 3 includes a slider 31 and a drive member 32. The slider 31 is at least partially located within the first receiving cavity 1010 and is slidably connected to the seat 101. The slider 31 can move along the first direction toward the second receiving cavity 1011 under the actuation of the pin, triggering the micro switch 4. The drive member 32 is connected to both the socket 1 and the slider 31. The drive member 32 drives the slider 31 to slide along the second direction, so that the micro switch 4 returns to the untriggered state. The second direction and the first direction are opposite to each other.

[0033] In practice, it is easy to understand that when the pin is inserted into the socket 2, it presses the slider 31 and keeps its relative position inside the socket fixed, so that the micro switch 4 remains in the triggered state. When the pin is pulled out of the socket 2, the slider 31 can move along the second direction under the drive of the drive member 32 and stop at the position where the pin was not inserted, so that the micro switch 4 returns to the untriggered state.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the slider 31 has a plate-like structure, with one side wall of the slider 31 recessed towards the other side wall to form a protruding structure. See also Figure 4 And refer to Figure 2 The protruding structure has an abutment surface facing the micro switch 4, and the distance from the abutment surface to the micro switch gradually decreases along the first direction. That is, when the slider 31 moves along the first direction under the braking of the pin, the abutment surface gradually approaches the micro switch 4 and eventually squeezes and triggers the micro switch 4.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, the transmission assembly 3 and the socket 1 are slidably connected by the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide groove.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom surface of the first receiving cavity 1010 has a slide rail structure 12, which extends along a first direction. The slide rail structure 12 is plate-shaped and arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface of the first receiving cavity 1010. Multiple mounting ribs are provided inside the first receiving cavity 1010 to fix the mounting sleeve 2. The first end of the slide rail structure 12 is connected to the mounting ribs, and the second end extends to the transition position between the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011. The sliding member 31 has a groove structure 314 on the side opposite to the insertion hole 11. The shape and size of the groove structure 314 are adapted to the shape and size of the slide rail structure 12. When the sliding member 31 is fitted onto the slide rail structure 12, the sliding member 31 and the sleeve seat 1 can achieve a sliding connection through the cooperation of the slide rail structure 12 and the groove structure 314, thus improving the sliding stability between them.

[0037] Optionally, the cross-section of the slide rail structure 12 can be rectangular, the slide groove structure 314 can be a rectangular groove, and the slide rail structure 12 and the slide groove structure 314 can be a clearance fit.

[0038] Optionally, see [link to relevant documentation] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first receiving cavity 1010 may be provided with multiple slide rail structures 12, which are arranged at intervals and extend along the first direction. Correspondingly, the sliding member 31 has multiple sliding groove structures 314, which correspond one-to-one with the multiple slide rail structures 12. In this way, by providing multiple slide rail structures 12, the sliding stability between the sliding member 31 and the socket 1 can be further improved.

[0039] For example, there can be two slide rail structures 12 and two slide groove structures 314.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, the transmission assembly 3 and the socket 1 are slidably connected via the abutment platform 13.

[0041] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom surface of the first receiving cavity 1010 has two abutment platforms 13, which are distributed on both sides of the first receiving cavity 1010 perpendicular to the first direction and extend along the first direction respectively. The sliding member 31 has limiting protrusions 315 on both sides, each limiting protrusion 315 corresponding to abutment platform 13 in a sliding connection. Thus, combined with the cooperation of the slide rail structure 12 and the slide groove structure 314, by setting the abutment platforms 13 and limiting protrusions 315, the sliding member 31 can be prevented from rotating around a straight line parallel to the first direction, that is, the slide rail structure 12 can be prevented from dislodging from the slide groove structure 314, thereby improving the sliding stability between the sliding member 31 and the socket 1.

[0042] In some examples, the limiting protrusion 315 has an abutment surface on the side near the insertion hole 11, and the abutment surface may be arranged parallel to the cover plate 102. In some examples, the distance between the abutment surface and the cover plate 102 gradually increases or decreases in the first direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the drive element 32 in the transmission assembly 3 can be an elastic element, for example, a spring.

[0044] like Figure 7As shown, the driving element 32 includes two springs, namely a first spring 321 and a second spring 322. The first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are distributed on both sides of the micro switch 4. One end of each spring is connected to the socket 1, and the other end is connected to the slider 31. In implementation, when the plug is not inserted into the socket, the two springs can be in a compressed state, so that the slider 31 abuts against the mounting rib in the socket 1. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the driving element 32 always exerts a pushing force on the slider 31 in the second direction. Under the action of this pushing force, when the plug is not inserted into the socket 2 (i.e., when the plug of the appliance is pulled out of the socket), the slider 31 is driven by the driving element 32 and slides in the second direction, so that the micro switch 4 returns to the untriggered state.

[0045] Optionally, a spring mounting post 03 may be provided inside the socket 1 to improve the connection stability between the drive component 32 and the socket 1. See Figure 7 Two spring mounting posts 03 are provided on the wall surface of the second receiving cavity 1011 away from the first receiving cavity 1010. Both spring mounting posts 03 are cylindrical and extend along the first direction. The two spring mounting posts 03 are distributed on both sides of the micro switch 4.

[0046] For example, the spring mounting post 03 and the socket 1 can be integrally formed components. This can improve the overall strength of the spring mounting post 03.

[0047] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 2 The socket 1 has a clearance through hole 1012.

[0048] Specifically, the clearance through-hole 1012 is located on the bottom wall of the socket 1 and communicates with the second receiving cavity 1011. This clearance through-hole 1012 allows the connecting wire harness of the micro switch 4 to pass through. Exemplarily, the clearance through-hole 1012 can be a circular hole or a square hole; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this. In other examples, the clearance through-hole 1012 can be arranged on the side wall of the second receiving cavity 1011. In this way, the connecting wire harness of the micro switch 4 can extend from a direction parallel to the length and width of the socket, reducing the overall thickness of the socket and thus allowing for a wider range of installation options within the vehicle, improving the flexibility of socket placement.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, the socket 1 also has a snap-fit ​​structure 02 inside, which is used to insert the micro switch 4.

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, a snap-fit ​​structure 02 is provided inside the second receiving cavity 1011. The snap-fit ​​structure 02 includes a base 021 and multiple latches 022. The base 021 has a receiving groove that accommodates a portion of the micro switch 4, thereby radially limiting the micro switch 4. See also... Figure 2 and Figure 6 The micro switch 4 includes a body and a contact head. The contact head can move into the body to maintain the triggered state. The body is cubic in shape, and the contact head is a columnar structure with a hemispherical top.

[0051] In this context, the radial direction of the micro switch 4 refers to the direction in which the axis of the contact head points towards the outer peripheral wall.

[0052] In one example, the receiving groove is a square groove that is adapted to the shape and size of the body. In this way, the micro switch 4 is assembled in the receiving groove and is limited by the groove wall in the radial and circumferential directions, which can improve the connection stability between the micro switch 4 and the socket 1.

[0053] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure 02 includes multiple snap fasteners 022, see further. Figure 6 Multiple snap-fits 022 are connected to the opening of the receiving groove, and the multiple snap-fits 022 are used for axial limiting micro switch 4.

[0054] In this context, the axial direction of the micro switch 4 refers to the direction of the axial axis of the contact head.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 6 The snap-fit ​​structure 02 includes two snap-fits 022, which are arranged opposite each other at the opening of the receiving groove. The protruding part of each snap-fit ​​022 abuts against the upper wall surface of the micro switch 4 body, while the bottom of the receiving groove abuts against the lower wall surface of the body. This limits the micro switch 4 in the axial direction, improving the connection stability of the micro switch 4 in the socket.

[0056] The technical solutions provided in this disclosure have at least the following beneficial effects: This disclosure provides a socket in which, as the prongs are gradually inserted into the socket sleeve 2, the prongs abut against the portion of the transmission component 3 located within the socket sleeve 2. This causes the transmission component 3 to slide under the braking of the prongs, ultimately triggering a micro switch 4 and keeping the micro switch 4 in a triggered state. The socket thus senses the insertion of the prongs into the socket sleeve. Furthermore, an external discharge energy storage device (e.g., an electric vehicle) equipped with this socket can control its own energy storage battery to discharge to the socket sleeve when it senses the signal that the external prongs are inserted into the socket and connected to the socket sleeve, thereby achieving a safe external discharge function. Furthermore, for this socket, inside the socket 1, the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011 respectively accommodate the socket 2 and the micro switch 4. The second receiving cavity 1011 is located in the first direction of the first receiving cavity 1010, and the first direction is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin. That is, the first receiving cavity 1010 and the second receiving cavity 1011 are distributed on a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin, which can reduce the overall thickness of the socket, thereby making the socket more versatile in terms of installation location in the vehicle and improving the flexibility of socket layout.

[0057] This disclosure also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned socket.

[0058] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this disclosure and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
