Since the gap between the flow guide member II and the interior of the terminal is small and the resistance is large, the liquid can only flow along the upper plane of the flow guide member II to the head of the flow guide member II, and then flow to the lower plane of the flow guide member II through the gap between the vertical protrusion of the head of the flow guide member II and the terminal, and then flow out from the liquid outlet pipe at the tail of the terminal.

[0006] Furthermore, one end of the L-shaped joint is connected to the terminal through a thread and communicates with the guide member I, and the other end of the L-shaped joint is communicated with the liquid inlet pipe through the fastener I.

[0008] Furthermore, there is a certain gap between the guide member II and the terminal head.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide member II is L-shaped, and is provided with a through hole for the guide member I to pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide member II comprises a square plate with a through hole formed thereon, a vertical protrusion being provided at one end of the square plate and a transverse protrusion being provided at the other end, and a certain gap being present between the transverse protrusion and the terminal head.

The utility model provides a liquid-cooled terminal that can cool the contact part of the male and female terminals.

The tail of the terminal 1 is connected with the liquid outlet pipe 6 through the fastener II8, and the tail of the terminal 1 is threadedly connected to the fastener II8. The tail of the terminal 1 is connected to the cable conductor 9. The head of the terminal 1 is threadedly provided with an anti-tentacle contact cap 10. The liquid inlet pipe 2, the L-shaped joint 3, and the guide piece I4 are sequentially connected along the flow direction of the coolant, and there is a certain gap between the guide piece II5 and the head of the terminal 1.

[0025] In the utility model, the outer wall of the terminal 1 is the contact part between the male terminal and the female terminal, and the guide member II5 is L-shaped. The guide member II5 includes a square plate 51. A vertical protrusion 52 is provided at one end of the square plate 51, and a transverse protrusion 53 is provided at the other end.
