[0022] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, various large-capacity electric devices have been widely used. Among them, the charging of large-capacity electric devices requires the use of electrical connectors to achieve electrical connection with charging posts or other charging devices. However, current electrical connectors do not have safety protection measures, which makes it easy for spark discharge to occur at the moment of plugging and unplugging the electrical connector, causing point damage to the connector, and seriously causing damage to the equipment; and during use, there is a possibility of accidental unplugging or loosening, which poses a safety hazard.

[0024] Based on this, the present application provides an electrical connector that can solve the problem of insufficient safety in the use of the electrical connector.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is an electrical connector, comprising a connector body 1 and a safety component 2; the connector body 1 has a plug-in end and an operating end on the outside, and the plug-in end is used to output current;

[0026] The safety component 2 includes a touch switch 21, the main body of the touch switch 21 is arranged in the inner cavity of the connector body 1, the touch switch 21 has an activated state and an disconnected state, and the trigger end of the touch switch 21 is located at the operating end;

[0027] When the touch switch 21 enters an activated state, the touch switch 21 controls the plug end to stop outputting current;

[0028] When the touch switch 21 enters the disconnected state, the touch switch 21 stops controlling the plug-in terminal to stop outputting current.

[0029] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the utility model is that: a safety component 2 is added to the connector body 1, and when the plug end is inserted into or unplugged from the plugged device, the user operates the trigger end of the touch switch 21 at the operating end to make the touch switch 21 enter the activated state, so that the plug end stops outputting current, thereby avoiding the occurrence of spark discharge. After the plug end is plugged into the plugged device, the user operates the trigger end of the touch switch 21 at the operating end to make the touch switch 21 enter the disconnected state, so that the plug end can charge the plugged device with normal output current.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, further, the safety component 2 further includes a swing rod 22, which is swingably disposed in the inner cavity of the connector body 1, and one end of the swing rod 22 is provided with a clamping head 221 located at the plugging end, and one end of the swing rod 22 away from the clamping head 221 is provided with a pressing plate 222 located at the operating end, and the pressing plate 222 is used to control the touch switch 21 to enter an activated state or a disconnected state;

[0031] When the touch switch 21 enters the activated state, the clamp head 221 is not engaged with the device plugged into the plug end;

[0032] When the touch switch 21 enters the off state, the clamping head 221 is clamped with the device plugged into the plug end.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the user controls the activation state and disconnection state of the touch switch 21 by operating the pressing plate 222. When the touch switch 21 is in the activation state, it can not only avoid the occurrence of spark discharge, but also prevent the clamp head 221 from affecting the normal connection or separation of the plug-in terminal with the plugged device. When the touch switch 21 is in the disconnected state, it can not only not affect the normal output current of the plug-in terminal, but also allow the clamp head 221 to be connected with the plugged device to avoid the occurrence of accidental removal or loosening of the electrical connector.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, further, a groove 11 is provided on the connector body 1 , and the pressing plate 222 is located in the groove 11 .

[0035] From the above description, it can be known that the pressing plate 222 is placed in the groove 11 to avoid misoperation.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, further, the connector body 1 includes a plug needle seat 12 and a plug body 13 which are ultrasonically welded together.

[0037] From the above description, it can be known that the plug needle seat 12 and the plug body 13 are formed into an integrated connector body 1 by ultrasonic welding, which can save screw fixation and enhance the overall strength and waterproof ability of the connector body 1.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the plug end is provided with a current output pin 3 and a communication pin 4. Preferably, the number of the current output pins 3 is two, and the number of the communication pins 4 is six.

[0039] From the above description, it can be known that the current output pin 3 is used to charge the plug device, and the communication pin 4 is used to judge in real time whether the plug-in state between the plug end and the plug device is good. If the plug-in state is not good, the current output pin 3 cannot output current, and if the plug-in state is good, the current output pin 3 can output current. The safety of the use of the electrical connector is further guaranteed.
