Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of charging devices, and particularly to a charging socket. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical equipment that needs to be moved frequently is usually equipped with batteries. It is powered by the batteries when in use and needs to be recharged when the battery is depleted. For example, some cargo containers in ports need to consume electricity to maintain specific temperature, humidity or other environmental parameters to meet the transportation requirements of the goods. Therefore, energy storage devices need to be installed inside the containers, and the containers need to be recharged before arriving at or leaving the port.

[0003] The charging device includes at least a charging plug and a charging socket. The charging plug is electrically connected to the battery of the electrical device via a cable, and the charging socket is electrically connected to the power grid via a cable; or the charging plug is electrically connected to the power grid via a cable, and the charging socket is electrically connected to the battery of the electrical device via a cable. When charging the electrical device, the charging plug must be plugged into the charging socket, and the charging plug must be unplugged from the charging socket after charging is complete.

[0004] In existing technologies, the charging plug and socket are mainly plugged and unplugged manually. This requires aligning the charging plug with the charging socket and applying external force to make the charging plug and the charging socket fit together, which is quite cumbersome. For larger charging devices, the force between the charging plug and the charging socket is stronger, making it even more inconvenient to plug and unplug the charging plug. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a charging socket that can automatically plug and unplug the charging plug and the charging socket, making it convenient to plug and unplug the charging plug and the charging socket.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a charging socket, the charging socket comprising:

[0008] support;

[0009] The socket body is fixedly mounted on the bracket and is used to connect and cooperate with the charging plug.

[0010] A movable base, which is slidably mounted on a bracket, is used to place and support the charging plug;

[0011] A driving mechanism connected to the movable base, the driving mechanism being used to drive the movable base to slide along a direction parallel to the socket body to move closer to or further away from the socket body;

[0012] A transition seat is slidably disposed on the bracket, the charging plug has a supporting portion, and the transition seat is capable of abutting against the supporting portion on the side facing the socket body;

[0013] A clutch mechanism is provided on the transition seat; when the charging plug is inserted into the socket body, the clutch mechanism is fixedly connected to the movable seat; when the charging plug is pulled out of the socket body, the clutch mechanism is disconnected from the movable seat.

[0014] In this solution, the socket body of the charging socket is supported by a bracket. The socket body is connected to the charging plug to supply power to the charging plug. When the charging plug is plugged in, the charging plug is placed on the moving base manually or automatically by a robotic arm. The drive mechanism can drive the moving base to move closer to the socket body, so that the charging plug on the moving base moves toward the socket body and is connected to the socket body, thus realizing the automatic plugging and power supply of the charging plug.

[0015] After the charging plug is inserted, the drive mechanism stops moving. The movable seat is fixed at the end of the charging plug away from the socket body, fixing the charging plug to the socket body and preventing it from loosening or falling off due to its own weight or external force during charging. When the charging plug needs to be unplugged after charging is complete, the clutch mechanism is fixedly connected to the movable seat, making the transition seat fixedly connected to the movable seat. At this time, the drive mechanism drives the movable seat to move away from the socket body, thereby driving the transition seat to move synchronously. The transition seat abuts against the side of the charging plug facing the socket body, causing the charging plug to move away from the socket body to pull it out of the socket body. After the charging plug is pulled out of the socket body, the clutch mechanism is disengaged from the movable seat, so that the transition seat no longer moves with the movable seat. At this time, the drive mechanism can drive the movable seat to continue moving away from the socket body, making the charging plug further away from the socket body and the transition seat, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the charging plug and the socket body or the transition seat when taking the charging plug off or off the movable seat, facilitating manual or robotic arm automatic picking and placing of the charging plug.

[0016] Therefore, the charging socket of this solution can automatically plug and unplug the charging plug, eliminating the need for manual plugging and unplugging. This makes plugging and unplugging the charging plug more effortless and convenient, especially suitable for situations where the force between the charging plug and the charging socket is relatively large. A clutch mechanism controls the connection between the transition seat and the moving seat, allowing a single drive mechanism to insert or remove the charging plug from the socket body, reducing the number of drive mechanisms and thus contributing to the miniaturization of the charging socket. Simultaneously, the clutch mechanism allows the charging plug to move independently with the moving seat when not inserted into the charging socket, adjusting the distance between the charging plug and the socket body and the transition seat, facilitating the placement and removal of the charging plug on the moving seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the movable seat includes a supporting base and a sliding rod. The supporting base is used to place the charging plug. The sliding rod is arranged parallel to the socket body. The bracket is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the sliding rod. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to the supporting base. The driving mechanism is connected to the sliding rod to drive the sliding rod to slide axially along the guide hole.

[0018] In this design, the mobile base includes a support base and a slide rod. The charging plug is placed on the support base, and the slide rod is connected to the support base and the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism can drive the support base to slide along the axial direction of the slide rod through the slide rod. The slide rod can be slidably engaged with the guide hole on the bracket, making the mobile base slide more stably and smoothly.

[0019] Furthermore, the clutch mechanism includes a clamping assembly and a trigger. The clamping assembly is disposed on the transition seat and is used to fix the slide rod. The trigger is fixedly connected to the bracket and is directly opposite the clamping assembly. When the charging plug moves away from the charging socket to disengage from the charging socket, the clamping assembly moves to contact the trigger, and the clamping assembly releases the slide rod.

[0020] In this design, the clutch mechanism includes a clamping assembly and a trigger. The clamping assembly is disposed on the transition seat and fixedly connected to the slide rod, allowing the transition seat to move with the slide rod. The trigger is fixedly connected to the bracket and faces the clamping assembly. The trigger limits the travel of the transition seat as it moves with the moving seat. When the transition seat moves with the moving seat to the point where the charging plug is pulled out of the socket body, the clamping assembly contacts the trigger, causing the clamping assembly to release the slide rod and disengage the transition seat from the moving seat. When the moving seat supports the charging plug and moves towards the socket body until the abutting part of the charging plug abuts against the transition seat on the side facing the socket body, the moving seat continues to move upward, and the charging plug pushes the transition seat towards the socket body, causing the clamping assembly to disengage from the trigger. The clamping assembly is then re-fixed to the slide rod so that when the moving seat moves away from the socket body, it can move the transition seat to pull the charging plug out of the socket body.

[0021] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping block and an elastic element. The clamping block is slidably disposed on the transition seat along the radial direction of the slide rod. A limiting groove that mates with the clamping block is provided on the periphery of the slide rod. The elastic element abuts between the clamping block and the transition seat and provides a force to the clamping block in the direction of the slide rod. When the clamping block contacts the trigger element, the trigger element pushes the clamping block away from the limiting groove.

[0022] In this solution, the clamping assembly includes a clamping block and an elastic element. The elastic element acts on the clamping block, driving the clamping block to insert into the limiting groove, so that the clamping block remains connected to the slide rod. Thus, when the slide rod moves, it can drive the clamping block and the transition seat to move. When the charging plug is pulled out of the socket body, the clamping block moves to the trigger element, and the trigger element pushes the clamping block away from the limiting groove, releasing the connection between the transition seat and the slide rod. When the moving seat moves the charging plug toward the socket body, the abutment part abuts against the transition seat, driving the transition seat to move, so that the trigger element disengages from the clamping block, and the clamping block is inserted into the limiting groove under the action of the elastic element, realizing the connection between the transition seat and the moving seat.

[0023] Furthermore, the trigger includes a push rod, which is arranged parallel to the slide rod; the clamping block has an inclined driving surface on the side facing the push rod, the driving surface is inclined in the direction close to the push rod and away from the support base, and the push rod can slide and abut against the driving surface to push the clamping block to slide.

[0024] In this design, the trigger element includes a push rod, which is fixed relative to the bracket. When the clamping block moves with the transition seat to the push rod, the push rod abuts against the driving surface of the clamping block. As the clamping block continues to move towards the push rod, the push rod slides along the inclined driving surface and presses against the clamping block, causing the clamping block to slide away from the slide rod, thereby disengaging the slide rod from the limiting groove and releasing the connection between the transition seat and the moving seat. The sliding contact between the push rod and the inclined driving surface makes the movement of the clamping block more stable and smooth, and also facilitates the clamping block's disengagement from the push rod when the abutting part moves towards the socket body and pushes the transition seat.

[0025] Furthermore, the transition seat is provided with a sliding groove extending radially along the slide rod, the clamping block is slidably installed in the sliding groove, one end of the elastic member abuts against the side of the clamping block away from the slide rod, and the other end of the elastic member away from the clamping block abuts against the side wall of the sliding groove.

[0026] In this design, the clamping block and the elastic element are installed in the sliding groove of the transition seat, which makes the clamping block more stable when sliding radially along the slide rod, and at the same time facilitates the installation of the elastic element to provide a force towards the slide rod for the clamping block.

[0027] Furthermore, the transition seat is provided with a clearance hole, which extends through the transition seat parallel to the axial direction of the slide rod, and the slide rod is slidably fitted into the clearance hole.

[0028] In this design, the transition seat has a clearance hole, and the slide rod can slide into the clearance hole, so that when the clamping block is disengaged from the limiting groove, the slide rod can slide smoothly relative to the transition seat; at the same time, the transition seat guides the slide rod through the clearance hole, making the moving seat more stable when it moves.

[0029] Furthermore, a clamping block is provided on each of the opposite sides of the slide rod, and a limiting groove is provided on each of the opposite sides of the slide rod. The two clamping blocks are respectively engaged with the two limiting grooves, and an elastic member is abutted on the opposite side of each of the two clamping blocks. The top rod is disposed between the two clamping blocks.

[0030] In this design, clamping blocks are provided on both sides of the slide rod. The clamping blocks can engage with two limiting grooves from both sides of the slide rod, making the clamping components more securely connected to the slide rod. When the clamping blocks contact the top rod, the top rod pushes the two clamping blocks outward from the opposite side of the two clamping blocks at the same time, so that the two clamping blocks disengage from the two limiting grooves simultaneously. Thus, only one top rod is needed to push the two clamping blocks, making the structure of the charging socket more compact.

[0031] After the push rod is inserted between the two clamping blocks, the two clamping blocks clamp the push rod under the action of the elastic element, so that the transition seat is temporarily fixed on the push rod, and the transition seat is not easy to move when the slide rod slides relative to the transition seat. When assembling the charging socket, the two clamping blocks can clamp the slide rod around its periphery, and the two clamping blocks clamp the slide rod with a certain clamping force.

[0032] When the clamping points of the two clamping blocks on the slide rod are located on the side of the limiting groove away from the support base, the moving seat moves towards the socket body and drives the transition seat to move as the charging plug is inserted into the socket body. The transition seat moves in this direction to the limiting point and then stops moving. The slide rod can continue to move relative to the transition seat to slide relative to the clamping blocks, so that the limiting groove moves to align with the clamping blocks and the clamping blocks are inserted into the limiting groove. This makes it easier for the slide rod to drive the transition seat to move away from the socket body to pull the charging plug out of the socket body.

[0033] When the clamping points of the two clamping blocks on the slide rod are located on the side of the limiting groove near the support base, the moving seat moves away from the socket body. The slide rod drives the transition seat to move until the top rod is squeezed between the two clamping blocks. At this time, the transition seat stops moving, and the slide rod continues to move until the charging plug can be placed on the support base. Then the moving seat moves towards the socket body until the limiting groove and the clamping block are aligned and the abutting part abuts against the transition seat. At this time, the transition seat moves together with the moving seat, so that the clamping block disengages from the top rod and is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0034] Therefore, in this solution, the transition socket does not require precise positioning during installation. The position of the transition socket can be automatically calibrated during subsequent plug insertion and removal operations, which facilitates the installation of the transition socket. At the same time, it can automatically calibrate the travel deviation of the transition socket and the moving seat during the plug insertion and removal operations, ensuring that the charging socket can accurately realize the automatic plug insertion and removal of the charging plug.

[0035] Furthermore, the transition seat is provided with a transition cavity, which extends through the transition seat along the axial direction of the socket body; the socket body can slide along the axial direction to fit into the transition cavity.

[0036] In this design, the socket body is slidably fitted into the transition cavity, that is, the transition seat is sleeved on the outside of the socket body. The transition seat is guided and limited by the socket body, thereby slidably setting the transition seat on the bracket, making the transition seat more stable when sliding.

[0037] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes an electric actuator, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. One end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the bracket, and the end of the first connecting rod away from the bracket is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod. The end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the movable seat. The electric actuator is rotatably connected to the bracket, and the driving end of the electric actuator is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod to drive the first connecting rod to rotate relative to the bracket.

[0038] In this design, the drive mechanism pushes the first link to rotate around the bracket via an electric actuator. The first link, through a second link, drives the movable seat to move axially along the socket body. The electric actuator is rotatably connected to the bracket and the first link to prevent jamming when it pushes the first link to rotate. The first link is rotatably connected to the second link, and the second link is rotatably connected to the movable seat to prevent jamming when the first link rotates and causes the movable seat to slide. This arrangement allows the drive mechanism to drive the movable seat to move linearly even without being collinear with it, thus facilitating a reduction in the overall length of the charging socket and promoting miniaturization.

[0039] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] The charging socket of this invention enables automatic insertion and removal of the charging plug from the charging socket, eliminating the need for manual insertion and removal of the charging plug. This makes plug insertion and removal more effortless and convenient, especially suitable for situations where the force between the charging plug and the charging socket is relatively large. A clutch mechanism controls the connection between the transition seat and the moving seat, allowing the charging plug to be inserted into or removed from the socket body with a single drive mechanism. This reduces the number of drive mechanisms required, thus contributing to the miniaturization of the charging socket. Simultaneously, the clutch mechanism allows the charging plug to move independently with the moving seat when not inserted into the charging socket, adjusting the distance between the charging plug and the socket body and the transition seat, facilitating the placement and removal of the charging plug on the moving seat.

[0055] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] This embodiment provides a charging socket 1000, see reference. Figure 1 The charging socket 1000 is used to connect with Figure 2 The charging plug 2000 shown is plugged in to provide power. Specifically, the charging socket 1000 can be located at the charging end and connected to the power grid, and the charging plug 2000 can be located at the electrical device and electrically connected to the electrical device via a cable; alternatively, the charging socket 1000 can be located at the electrical device and electrically connected to it, while the charging plug 2000 is located at the charging end and connected to the power grid. The electrical connection between the electrical device and the power grid is achieved by plugging in the charging plug 2000 and the charging socket 1000 to charge the electrical device.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the charging socket 1000 includes a bracket 100, a socket body 200, a movable base 300, a drive mechanism 400, a transition base 500, and a clutch mechanism 600. The bracket 100 is fixedly mounted on the electrical device or charging terminal and supports the socket body 200, the movable base 300, the drive mechanism 400, the transition base 500, and the clutch mechanism 600. The socket body 200 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 100 and is used to connect and cooperate with the charging plug 2000 to conduct current.

[0058] The movable base 300 is slidably mounted on the bracket 100 and is used to place and support the charging plug 2000. A drive mechanism 400 is connected to the movable base 300 and is used to drive the movable base 300 to slide along a direction parallel to the socket body 200 to move closer to or away from the socket body 200. When the charging plug 2000 is plugged in, it is placed on the movable base 300 manually or automatically by a robotic arm. The drive mechanism 400 can drive the movable base 300 to move closer to the socket body 200, causing the charging plug 2000 on the movable base 300 to move towards the socket body 200, so that the charging plug 2000 is plugged into and engages with the socket body 2000, thus achieving automatic plugging and power extraction of the charging plug 2000. After the charging plug 2000 is plugged in, the drive mechanism 400 stops moving, and the movable seat 300 is fixedly set at the end of the charging plug 2000 away from the socket body 200, fixing the charging plug 2000 to the socket body 200, so that the charging plug 2000 is not easy to loosen and fall off the socket body 200 due to its own weight or external force during charging.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the transition seat 500 is slidably disposed on the bracket 100, and the clutch mechanism 600 is disposed on the transition seat 500. The charging plug 2000 has a supporting part 2100. When the charging plug 2000 is inserted into the socket body 200, the clutch mechanism 600 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 300, and the transition seat 500 can abut against the side of the supporting part 2100 facing the socket body 200. When the charging plug 2000 needs to be unplugged after charging is complete, the clutch mechanism 600 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 300, which makes the transition seat 500 fixedly connected to the movable seat 300. At this time, the drive mechanism 400 drives the movable seat 300 to move away from the socket body 200, thereby driving the transition seat 500 to move synchronously. The transition seat 500 abuts against the side of the holding part 2100 of the charging plug 2000 facing the socket body 200, driving the charging plug 2000 to move away from the socket body 200 to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200. When the charging plug 2000 is pulled out of the socket body 200, the clutch mechanism 600 is disengaged from the moving seat 300, so that the transition seat 500 no longer moves with the moving seat 300. At this time, the drive mechanism 400 can drive the moving seat 300 to continue moving away from the socket body 200, so that the charging plug 2000 is further away from the socket body 200 and the transition seat 500, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the charging plug 2000 and the socket body 200 or the transition seat 500 when the charging plug 2000 is picked up or put down from the moving seat 300, making it convenient for manual or robotic arm to pick up and put down the charging plug 2000.

[0060] Therefore, the charging socket 1000 of this embodiment can automatically plug and unplug the charging plug 2000 from the charging socket 1000 without manual plugging and unplugging. This makes plugging and unplugging the charging plug 2000 easier and more convenient, especially suitable for situations where the force between the charging plug 2000 and the charging socket 1000 is relatively large. A clutch mechanism 600 controls the connection between the transition seat 500 and the moving seat 300, so that a single drive mechanism 400 can drive the charging plug 2000 to be inserted into or removed from the socket body 200, reducing the number of drive mechanisms 400 and thus contributing to the miniaturization of the charging socket 1000. Simultaneously, the clutch mechanism 600 allows the charging plug 2000 to move independently with the moving seat 300 when not inserted into the charging socket 1000, adjusting the distance between the charging plug 2000 and the socket body 200 and the transition seat 500, thereby facilitating the placement and removal of the charging plug 2000 on the moving seat 300.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 The bracket 100 is a frame component. The bracket 100 has a hollow inner cavity for the socket body 200 to be installed. The upper side of the socket body 200 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the inner cavity of the bracket 100.

[0062] In this embodiment, a plurality of connecting bolts 110 are provided on the upper side of the bracket 100, and the socket body 200 is connected to the bracket 100 through the connecting bolts 110.

[0063] Specifically, the connecting bolt 110 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 100, and the connecting bolt 110 is threadedly engaged with the socket body 200 to securely connect the socket body 200. A buffer spring 120 is sleeved on the connecting bolt 110, with its opposite ends abutting against the bracket 100 and the socket body 200 respectively. This ensures a stable engagement between the socket body 200 and the threads of the connecting bolt 110, while also reducing vibration of the socket body 200 when the charging plug 2000 is plugged in or unplugged, thus making the socket body 200 more stable and reliable.

[0064] In addition, in other embodiments, the socket body 200 may also be connected to the bracket 100 in other suitable ways.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the socket body 200 is generally cylindrical. A plug portion 210 protrudes from one end of the socket body 200 facing the charging plug 2000, and a socket hole 211 is provided along the axial direction of the plug portion 210. A pin 2200 protrudes from one side of the charging plug 2000 facing the socket body 200 and mates with the socket hole 211. The pin 2200 is inserted into the socket hole 211 to achieve electrical connection between the charging plug 2000 and the socket body 200.

[0066] In addition, in other embodiments, a pin 2200 may be provided on the plug portion 210, and a socket 211 may be provided on the charging plug 2000.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, a limiting cylinder 2300 protrudes from one end of the charging plug 2000 facing the socket body 200. The limiting cylinder 2300 is coaxially arranged with the plug portion 210 and surrounds the pin 2200 to reduce the possibility of bending damage to the pin 2200 during the charging plug 2000's handling, transportation, and operation. When the charging plug 2000 mates with the socket body 2000, the plug portion 210 is inserted into the limiting cylinder 2300. The interaction between the plug portion 210 and the limiting cylinder 2300 guides and limits the charging plug 2000, making the engagement between the charging plug 2000 and the socket body 2000 more stable and reliable.

[0068] In this embodiment, the abutment portion 2100 is radially protruding on the outer periphery of the limiting cylinder 2300. The abutment portion 2100 is an annular shape coaxial with the limiting cylinder 2300. The transition seat 500 extends above the abutment portion 2100 on the side facing the charging plug 2000 and can abut against the abutment portion 2100, so that when the transition seat 500 moves downward, the charging plug 2000 can be pulled out from the socket body 200.

[0069] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the abutment portion 2100 may also be configured in other suitable forms. For example, in some embodiments, the abutment portion 2100 may not be configured as a ring, but rather as one, two, or more protrusions arranged around the periphery of the charging plug 2000. In some embodiments, the abutment portion 2100 may not protrude radially along the charging socket 1000. For instance, the abutment portion 2100 may be the end face of the limiting cylinder 2300 facing the socket body 200, and the transition seat 500 may extend above the end of the charging plug 2000 and directly opposite the abutment portion 2100, as long as the transition seat 500 does not interfere with the pins 2200 of the charging plug 2000.

[0070] Reference Figures 3 to 6 In this embodiment, the movable base 300 includes a support base 310 and a slide rod 320. The support base 310 is used to place the charging plug 2000. The slide rod 320 is arranged parallel to the socket body 200 and is fixedly connected to the support base 310. The drive mechanism 400 is connected to the slide rod 320 to drive the slide rod 320 to slide axially, thereby moving the support base 310 and the charging plug 2000.

[0071] In this embodiment, the support base 310 is horizontally positioned and located below the socket body 200, allowing the charging plug 2000 to rest on top of the support base 310 under its own weight. The support base 310 has a mounting opening 311 directly opposite the socket body 200. The charging plug 2000 can be inserted into the mounting opening 311, which positions the charging plug 2000, facilitating the insertion of the charging plug 2000 into the socket body 200 by the movable base 300.

[0072] The charging plug 2000 is fitted with a positioning ring 700. The inner ring of the positioning ring 700 is aligned with the mounting port 311. The charging plug 2000 passes through both the inner ring of the positioning ring 700 and the mounting port 311.

[0073] The lower side of the positioning ring 700 abuts against the upper side of the support base 310. The abutting part 2100 is annular and protrudes radially from the charging plug 2000 around its periphery. The lower side of the abutting part 2100 fits against the upper side of the positioning ring 700, and the upper side of the abutting part 2100 is directly opposite the transition seat 500 and abuts against it. Thus, the positioning ring 700 is provided between the charging plug 2000 and the support base 310 to make the charging plug 2000 more stable when placed on the support base 310. At the same time, when the support base 310 drives the charging plug 2000 to insert into the socket body 200, the force of the support base 310 can be evenly distributed on the abutting part 2100, making the connection between the charging plug 2000 and the socket body 200 more stable.

[0074] In addition, in other embodiments, the charging socket 1000 may also be provided with a protruding structure that abuts against the positioning ring 700.

[0075] In other embodiments, the positioning ring 700 may be omitted, and the charging plug 2000 may be placed directly on the support base 310.

[0076] A cable management bracket 330 protrudes downwards from the side of the support base 310 opposite to the socket body 200. The end of the cable management bracket 330 away from the support base 310 is horizontally bent and extends below the support base 310. The portion of the cable management bracket 330 facing the support base 310 has a cable management groove 331 that is directly opposite the mounting opening 311. The lower end of the charging plug 2000 is directly opposite the cable management groove 331. The cable connected to the charging plug 2000 can pass through the cable management groove 331, thereby constraining the cable and reducing cable swaying when the charging plug 2000 is plugged in or unplugged.

[0077] Reference Figures 4 to 6 The bracket 100 is provided with a guide hole 140, which is coaxially arranged with the slide rod 320. The slide rod 320 and the guide hole 140 on the bracket 100 can be slidably engaged. The guide hole 140 guides and limits the slide rod 320, making the moving seat 300 slide more stably and smoothly.

[0078] Specifically, the bracket 100 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 130, which is set parallel to the support base 310, and the guide hole 140 is opened on the mounting plate 130.

[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 130 is positioned above the support base 310 and below the socket body 200, allowing the mounting plate 130 to stably guide the slide rod 320 through the guide hole 140 while preventing the overall length of the slide rod 320 from becoming excessive. In other embodiments, the mounting plate 130 may also be positioned below the support base 310 or above the socket body 200.

[0080] In this embodiment, two slide rods 320 are provided, respectively located on opposite sides of the socket body 200. Correspondingly, the mounting plate 130 has two guide holes 140, with each slide rod 320 passing through one guide hole 140. Thus, the two slide rods 320 are guided and limited by the two guide holes 140, preventing the movable seat 300 from tilting, rotating, or experiencing other abnormalities, thereby facilitating stable sliding of the movable seat 300.

[0081] In addition, in other embodiments, the slide bar 320 and the guide hole 140 may be configured in other suitable quantities.

[0082] In other embodiments, the movable seat 300 may not be equipped with the slide bar 320, and the drive mechanism 400 may be connected to the support base 310 through other suitable components or directly to the support base 310.

[0083] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the transition seat 500 is disposed above the support base 310 so that the transition seat 500 abuts against the support portion 2100 from above. In other embodiments, the transition seat 500 may also be disposed below the support base 310, and a portion of the transition seat 500 extends upward above the support portion 2100.

[0084] A transition cavity 510 is provided inside the transition seat 500, and the transition cavity 510 passes through the transition seat 500 along the axial direction of the socket body 200. The socket body 200 can slide along the axial direction to fit into the transition cavity 510, that is, the transition seat 500 is sleeved on the outside of the socket body 200. The transition seat 500 is guided and limited by the socket body 200, thereby slidably setting the transition seat 500 on the bracket 100, making the transition seat 500 more stable when sliding.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transition seat 500 includes an abutment sleeve 520 and a mounting portion 530. The abutment sleeve 520 is coaxially sleeved outside the socket body 200, and the inner cavity of the abutment sleeve 520 is the transition cavity 510. The mounting portion 530 is connected to the outer peripheral side of the abutment sleeve 520 and protrudes outward along the radial direction of the abutment sleeve 520. The clutch mechanism 600 is disposed in the mounting portion 530.

[0086] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the lower part of the abutting sleeve 520 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper part of the abutting sleeve 520, so that the inner wall of the transition cavity 510 forms a first step 521. In the socket body 200, the outer diameter of the plug-in part 210 is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper part of the socket body 200, so that the plug-in part 210 and the upper part of the socket body 200 form a second step 220. When the abutting sleeve 520 moves upward to the upper limit position, the first step 521 and the second step 220 abut against each other to prevent the transition seat 500 from moving further upward.

[0087] The lower part of the transition cavity 510 is adapted to the limiting cylinder 2300. That is, when the charging plug 2000 moves upward, the limiting cylinder 2300 can be inserted into the lower part of the transition cavity 510, so that the annular end face of the lower end of the abutting sleeve 520 can abut against the annular supporting part 2100, so that when the transition seat 500 moves downward, it acts on the supporting part 2100 to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200.

[0088] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the transition seat 500 may also be configured in other suitable forms. For example, in some embodiments, the transition seat 500 may not have a transition cavity 510 to be fitted over the socket body 200, and the transition seat 500 may only include a portion for mounting the clutch mechanism 600 and a portion for abutting the support portion 2100.

[0089] Reference Figures 7 to 9 In this embodiment, the clutch mechanism 600 includes a clamping assembly 610 and a trigger. The clamping assembly 610 is disposed on the transition seat 500 and is used to fix the slide bar 320 so that the transition seat 500 can move with the slide bar 320. The trigger is fixedly connected to the bracket 100 and is directly opposite the clamping assembly 610.

[0090] The trigger limits the travel of the transition seat 500 as it moves with the movable seat 300. When the transition seat 500 moves with the movable seat 300 to the point where it pulls the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200, the clamping assembly 610 contacts the trigger, causing the clamping assembly 610 to release the slide bar 320 to disconnect the transition seat 500 and the movable seat 300. Meanwhile, when the movable seat 300 supports the charging plug 2000 and moves towards the socket body 200, until the charging plug 2000 is pushed against... When the holding part 2100 abuts against the transition seat 500 on the side facing the socket body 200, the moving seat 300 continues to move upward, and the charging plug 2000 pushes the transition seat 500 towards the socket body 200, so that the clamping assembly 610 disengages from the trigger and the clamping assembly 610 is re-fixed to the slide bar 320, so that when the moving seat 300 moves away from the socket body 200, it will drive the transition seat 500 to move to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200.

[0091] In other embodiments, the clutch mechanism 600 may also detect the position of the clamping assembly 610 and release the connection between the clamping assembly 610 and the slide bar 320 in other ways. For example, in some embodiments, the clamping assembly 610 is driven by an electrically controlled drive to fix the clamping connection to the slide bar 320. The bracket 100 is provided with a position sensor or a trigger switch. When the transition seat 500 moves down to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200, the position sensor or trigger switch sends an electrical signal to control the clamping assembly 610 to release the slide bar 320.

[0092] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 610 includes a clamping block 611 and an elastic member 612. The clamping block 611 is slidably disposed on the mounting portion 530 of the transition seat 500 along the radial direction of the slide rod 320. A limiting groove 321 that cooperates with the clamping block 611 is provided on the periphery of the slide rod 320. The elastic member 612 abuts against the clamping block 611 and the transition seat 500 and provides a force to the clamping block 611 in the direction of the slide rod 320, driving the clamping block 611 to be inserted into the limiting groove 321, so that the clamping block 611 and the slide rod 320 remain connected. When the slide rod 320 moves, it can drive the clamping block 611 and the transition seat 500 to move.

[0093] When the charging plug 2000 is pulled out of the socket body 200, the clamping block 611 moves to the trigger and contacts the trigger. The trigger pushes the clamping block 611 away from the limiting groove 321, releasing the connection between the transition seat 500 and the slide rod 320. When the moving seat 300 moves the charging plug 2000 toward the socket body 200, the abutment part 2100 abuts against the abutment sleeve 520 of the transition seat 500, causing the transition seat 500 to move upward, causing the trigger to disengage from the clamping block 611. Under the action of the elastic member 612, the clamping block 611 inserts into the limiting groove 321, reconnecting the transition seat 500 and the moving seat 300.

[0094] Therefore, in this embodiment, the connection between the clamping assembly 610 and the slide bar 320 is controlled by the trigger, so that when the charging plug 2000 needs to be pulled out of the socket body 200, the transition seat 500 can be fixedly connected to the slide bar 320 through the clamping assembly 610, and the drive mechanism 400 can drive the transition seat 500 to move down through the moving seat 300 to pull out the charging plug 2000; after the charging plug 2000 is pulled out of the socket body 200, the trigger causes the clamping assembly 610 to release the slide bar 320, and the connection between the transition seat 500 and the slide bar 320 is released, so that the transition seat 500 does not move when the moving seat 300 continues to move down, so that the charging plug 2000 continues to move down relative to the transition seat 500 to disengage from the transition cavity 510, avoiding interference between the charging plug 2000 and the transition seat 500 when picking up and putting down the charging plug 2000.

[0095] Reference Figures 7 to 10In this embodiment, the trigger includes a push rod 620, which is parallel to the slide rod 320 and fixedly mounted on the bracket 100. The push rod 620 is located below the transition seat 500. The clamping block 611 has an inclined driving surface 6114 on the side facing the push rod 620. The driving surface 6114 is inclined in the direction close to the push rod 620 and away from the support base 310 (i.e., the driving surface 6114 is inclined obliquely upward in the direction close to the push rod 620).

[0096] When the clamping block 611 moves with the transition seat 500 to the push rod 620, the push rod 620 abuts against the driving surface 6114 of the clamping block 611. As the clamping block 611 continues to move toward the push rod 620, the push rod 620 slides along the inclined driving surface 6114 and squeezes the clamping block 611, driving the clamping block 611 to slide away from the slide rod 320 and compress the elastic member 612, thereby causing the slide rod 320 to disengage from the limiting groove 321 and disconnect the transition seat 500 from the moving seat 300.

[0097] In this embodiment, the push rod 620 slides and abuts against the inclined drive surface 6114, making the push rod 620 push the clamping block 611 to move more stably and smoothly. At the same time, when the abutment part 2100 moves toward the socket body 200 and pushes the transition seat 500 to move upward, the clamping block 611 can smoothly disengage from the push rod 620, thereby facilitating the elastic member 612 to drive the clamping block 611 to insert into the limiting groove 321.

[0098] In this embodiment, the end of the push rod 620 facing the driving surface 6114 is conical, so that the upper end of the push rod 620 abuts against the driving surface 6114 and slides along the driving surface 6114 to push the clamping block 611. In other embodiments, the push rod 620 may also be configured with other suitable shapes.

[0099] In this embodiment, the transition seat 500 is disposed above the mounting plate 130, and the top rod 620 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 130. When the transition seat 500 moves to the point where the first step 521 abuts against the second step 220, there is a gap between the upper end of the top rod 620 and the clamping block 611 in the vertical direction, so that the slide rod 320 can drive the transition seat 500 to move down a certain distance to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200.

[0100] In addition, in other embodiments, the push rod 620 may also be installed at other positions of the bracket 100, as long as the push rod 620 can abut against the drive surface 6114 to push the clamping block 611 to move away from the limiting groove 321 when the transition seat 500 moves down.

[0101] In other embodiments, the trigger may also be configured in other suitable forms. For example, in some embodiments, the trigger is a protrusion disposed on the inner wall of the bracket 100 cavity, extending below the clamping block 611 and directly opposite the driving surface 6114. In some embodiments, the trigger is an electric actuator 410, a cylinder, or other linear drive horizontally disposed inside the bracket 100, the trigger being directly opposite the clamping block 611 and capable of pushing the clamping block 611 out of the limiting groove 321.

[0102] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 530 of the transition seat 500 is provided with a sliding groove 531 extending radially along the slide rod 320, and the clamping block 611 is slidably mounted in the sliding groove 531. One end of the elastic member 612 abuts against the side of the clamping block 611 away from the slide rod 320, and the other end of the elastic member 612 away from the clamping block 611 abuts against the side wall of the sliding groove 531. The clamping block 611 and the elastic member 612 are mounted in the sliding groove 531 of the transition seat 500, which makes the clamping block 611 more stable when sliding radially along the slide rod 320, and at the same time facilitates the installation of the elastic member 612 to provide a force towards the slide rod 320 for the clamping block 611.

[0103] In this embodiment, the width of the sliding groove 531 is similar to the width of the clamping block 611, making the clamping block 611 more stable when sliding in the sliding groove 531. A top cover plate 540 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting part 530, and the top cover plate 540 closes the upper side of the sliding groove 531 to prevent the clamping block 611 and the elastic member 612 from easily detaching from the sliding groove 531.

[0104] The mounting part 530 has a clearance hole 532, which is parallel to the axis of the slide rod 320 and passes through the transition seat 500. The slide rod 320 is slidably fitted into the clearance hole 532, so that when the clamping block 611 is disengaged from the limiting groove 321, the slide rod 320 can slide smoothly relative to the transition seat 500. At the same time, the transition seat 500 guides the slide rod 320 through the clearance hole 532, making the moving seat 300 more stable when it moves.

[0105] In this embodiment, the clearance hole 532 is connected to the sliding groove 531 so that the clamping block 611 can be moved to the slide rod 320 and inserted into the limiting groove 321.

[0106] In this embodiment, each slide bar 320 is provided with a clamping block 611 on each of its opposite sides, and each slide bar 320 is provided with a limiting groove 321 on each of its opposite sides. The two clamping blocks 611 can be engaged with the two limiting grooves 321 from both sides of the slide bar 320, so that the clamping assembly 610 is more securely connected to the slide bar 320.

[0107] Each of the two clamping blocks 611 has an elastic element 612 abutting against its opposite side. A push rod 620 is positioned between the two clamping blocks 611, and the driving surfaces 6114 of the two clamping blocks 611 are positioned on their opposite sides. When the clamping blocks 611 contact the push rod 620, the push rod 620 simultaneously pushes the two clamping blocks 611 outward from their opposite sides, causing the two clamping blocks 611 to disengage from the two limiting grooves 321 at the same time. Thus, only one push rod 620 is needed to push the two clamping blocks 611, making the structure of the charging socket 1000 more compact.

[0108] After the push rod 620 is squeezed between the two clamping blocks 611, the two clamping blocks 611 clamp the push rod 620 under the action of the elastic element 612, so that the transition seat 500 is temporarily fixed on the push rod 620, and the transition seat 500 is not easy to move when the slide rod 320 slides relative to the transition seat 500.

[0109] When assembling the charging socket 1000, two clamping blocks 611 can clamp around the slide rod 320, and the two clamping blocks 611 clamp the slide rod 320 with a certain clamping force. When the clamping point of the two clamping blocks 611 on the slide rod 320 is located on the side of the limiting groove 321 away from the support base 310, the moving seat 300 moves towards the socket body 200 to insert the charging plug 2000 into the socket body 200, which drives the transition seat 500 to move. The transition seat 500 moves to the upper limit point and then stops moving. The slide rod 320 can continue to move relative to the transition seat 500 to slide relative to the clamping blocks 611, so that the limiting groove 321 moves to align with the clamping blocks 611, so that the clamping blocks 611 are inserted into the limiting groove 321, so that the slide rod 320 can subsequently drive the transition seat 500 to move away from the socket body 200 to pull the charging plug 2000 out of the socket body 200.

[0110] When the clamping points of the two clamping blocks 611 on the slide rod 320 are located on the side of the limiting groove 321 near the support base 310, the moving seat 300 moves away from the socket body 200. The slide rod 320 drives the transition seat 500 to move until the top rod 620 is squeezed between the two clamping blocks 611. At this time, the transition seat 500 stops moving, and the slide rod 320 continues to move downward until the charging plug 2000 can be placed on the support base 310. Then the moving seat 300 moves towards the socket body 200 until the limiting groove 321 is aligned with the clamping block 611 and the abutment part 2100 abuts against the transition seat 500. At this time, the transition seat 500 moves together with the moving seat 300, so that the clamping block 611 disengages from the top rod 620 and is inserted into the limiting groove 321.

[0111] Therefore, in the charging socket 1000 of this solution, the transition seat 500 does not need to be precisely positioned during installation. During the subsequent plugging and unplugging of the charging plug 2000, the position of the transition seat 500 can be automatically calibrated, which facilitates the installation of the transition seat 500. At the same time, it can automatically calibrate the travel deviation of the transition seat 500 and the moving seat 300 during the plugging and unplugging operation, ensuring that the charging socket 1000 can accurately realize the automatic plugging and unplugging of the charging plug 2000.

[0112] In addition, in other embodiments, each slide bar 320 may be provided with only one limiting groove 321, and correspondingly, each slide bar 320 may be provided with only one clamping block 611.

[0113] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the clamping block 611 is U-shaped, including a first end 6111, a second end 6112, and a connecting section 6113. The first end 6111 is used to insert into the limiting groove 321, and the second end 6112 is provided with a driving surface 6114 to abut against the push rod 620. The first end 6111 and the second end 6112 are arranged parallel to each other, and the connecting section 6113 connects the first end 6111 and the second end 6112. This allows the first end 6111 and the second end 6112 to face the same side, and the slide rod 320 and the push rod 620 can be arranged adjacent to each other, making the clamping block 611 shorter and the overall structure of the charging socket 1000 more compact.

[0114] Combination Figure 8 The mounting part 530 has a guide block 533 protruding from the bottom wall of the sliding groove 531. The guide block 533 is inserted into the U-shaped opening of the two opposing clamping blocks 611 to guide and limit the two clamping blocks 611 when they move closer to or away from the slide rod 320.

[0115] Reference Figure 8 In this embodiment, the elastic element 612 is specifically a metal spring. In other embodiments, the elastic element 612 may also be a compression spring, a torsion spring, or other suitable elastic element 612.

[0116] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12The mounting section 530 is also provided with multiple mounting grooves 534, in which ball bearings 535 are rolled. The mounting grooves 534 are connected to the transition cavity 510, so that the ball bearings 535 protrude inward from the inner wall of the transition cavity 510. A guide groove 230 is provided on the outer periphery of the socket body 200. The guide groove 230 extends along the axial direction of the socket body 200. The part of the ball bearings 535 protruding from the transition cavity 510 cooperates with the guide groove 230. Thus, during the movement of the transition seat 500, the ball bearings 535 roll along the guide groove 230, making the transition seat 500 slide more stably and smoothly relative to the socket body 200.

[0117] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 400 includes an electric actuator 410, a first connecting rod 420, and a second connecting rod 430. One end of the first connecting rod 420 is rotatably connected to the bracket 100, the end of the first connecting rod 420 away from the bracket 100 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 430, and the end of the second connecting rod 430 away from the first connecting rod 420 is rotatably connected to the slide rod 320 of the movable seat 300. The electric actuator 410 is rotatably connected to the bracket 100, and the driving end of the electric actuator 410 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 420 to drive the first connecting rod 420 to rotate relative to the bracket 100.

[0118] The electric actuator 410 pushes the first connecting rod 420 to rotate around the bracket 100. The first connecting rod 420, through the second connecting rod 430, drives the movable seat 300 to move axially along the socket body 200. The electric actuator 410 is rotatably connected to the bracket 100 and the first connecting rod 420 to prevent the electric actuator 410 from jamming when pushing the first connecting rod 420 to rotate. The first connecting rod 420 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 430, and the second connecting rod 430 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 300 to prevent jamming when the first connecting rod 420 rotates and causes the movable seat 300 to slide. This arrangement allows the drive mechanism 400 to drive the movable seat 300 to move linearly even when it is not collinear with the movable seat 300, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall length of the charging socket 1000 and contributing to the miniaturization of the charging socket 1000.

[0119] In addition, in other embodiments, the drive mechanism 400 may be configured in other suitable forms. For example, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 400 may be a linear drive mechanism such as a motor screw mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, or a cylinder, with its drive end directly connected to the support base 310 or the slide bar 320 to drive the moving seat 300 to move linearly.

[0120] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the structure, features and principles of the present invention patent application are included within the scope of the present invention patent application.
