[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses an AC quick-plug charging socket, including an insulator 10, a panel 20 and a tail cover 30. The panel 20 is arranged at the front end of the insulator 10, and is provided with four screw holes 60 for fixing with the vehicle body. The tail cover 30 is arranged at the rear side of the insulator 10, and is used to seal the rear end of the insulator 10 and the wiring harness connected to the vehicle body.

[0033] A circuit board 40 is arranged in the insulator 10, and 5 power holes 41 are opened on the circuit board 40, and each power hole 41 is provided with a copper ring and a power contact 42. The step of the power contact 42 is stuck in the power hole 41, and its front end extends toward the panel 20 for connecting the charging plug, and its rear end extends toward the tail cover 30 for connecting with the wiring harness connected to the vehicle body. The power contact 42 is fixed to the wiring harness by ultrasonic welding, and the welding resistance is small and the temperature rise is low, which avoids the risk of high temperature burning of the charging socket. The copper ring is arranged on the inner wall of the power hole 41. When the power contact 42 is inserted into the power hole 41, the step of the power contact 42 will be clamped on the inner wall of the copper ring. A copper layer connected to the copper ring is also arranged inside the circuit board 40, and 4 chip resistors 43 and 8 signal pins 44 connected to the copper layer are arranged on the circuit board 40. The 8 signal pins 44 are connected to the eight-core plug-in 45, and the eight-core plug-in 45 is connected to the vehicle control system through a signal line. The heat generated by the power contact 42 after being energized and heated is transferred to the chip resistor 43 through the copper-clad ring and the copper-clad layer, and then transferred to the control system through the signal pin 44 and the eight-core plug-in 45, so as to monitor the socket temperature. The invention has low cost, high measurement accuracy, simple assembly and high automation, and can meet the requirements of manufacturers and host manufacturers.

[0034] The insulator 10 is made of insulating material, and is provided with a guide column 14 and a fixing column 15 therein, and a guide hole 46 and a fixing hole 47 are correspondingly provided on the circuit board 40. During assembly, the guide hole 46 on the circuit board 40 is aligned with the guide column 14 on the insulator 10 and inserted to ensure the installation angle of the circuit board 40; at the same time, the fixing hole 47 on the circuit board 40 will cooperate with the fixing column 15 on the insulator 10, and the front end of the fixing column 15 is in the shape of an open pin.

An outer convex rib 51 is provided outwardly on the rear side of the plug-in rubber ring 50. The end face of the step groove 16 of the insulator 10 and the outer wall end face of the annular groove 21 of the panel 20 tighten the outer convex rib 51 on both sides of the outer convex rib 51, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the connection between the panel 20 and the insulator 10. Lugs and assembly holes are provided at the corresponding ends of the insulator 10 and the panel 20 so as to be fixed by screw connection. A plurality of inner convex ribs 52 are provided on the inner wall of the plug-in rubber ring 50 so that when the charging plug is inserted into the plug-in post, the inner convex ribs 52 fit the outer wall of the charging plug to seal and prevent water, dust and other foreign matter from entering during the charging state. During assembly, the plug-in rubber ring 50 is first put on the insulator 10, and then the annular groove 21 of the panel 20 is aligned with the plug-in rubber ring 50 and inserted, and then screwed to achieve the installation between the panel 20 and the insulator 10.

[0036] A sealing ring 31 cooperating with the insulator 10 is provided on the side of the tail cover 30 adjacent to the insulator 10 to ensure the sealing effect between the tail cover 30 and the insulator 10. A buckle 32 is provided on the side of the tail cover 30 protruding toward the insulator 10, and a boss 17 is correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the insulator 10. The buckle 32 and the boss 17 form a snap fit to realize the assembly of the tail cover 30 and the insulator 10. Five fixed tubes 33 for the wire harness to pass through are provided at the rear end of the tail cover 30.

There are also a number of mounting holes 39 on the tail cover 30, and corresponding connecting holes 18 are set on the insulator 10. The mounting holes 39 and the connecting holes 18 are connected by screws 60 to ensure the stable connection between the tail cover 30 and the insulator 10. During assembly, first fix the connection between the wiring harness and the power contact 42 by ultrasonic welding, and then put the back cover 35 and the sealing rubber ring 34 on the wiring harness; assemble the tail cover 30 to the insulator 10, and pre-install it by snapping the buckle 32 with the boss 17. At this time, due to the existence of the sealing ring 31, there will be a gap between the tail cover 30 and the insulator 10; insert the power contact 42 inward from the fixing tube 33 of the tail cover 30, and the power contact 42 successively passes through the fixing tube 33, the claw 38, and the power hole 41 to reach the plug-in column. At this time, the claw 38 is stretched open, and when the power contact After the step of 42 passes over the claw 38, the claw 38 retracts, causing the power contact 42 to be unable to retreat, thereby limiting the power contact 42 and the wiring harness in the axial direction; the rear cover 35 and the sealing rubber ring 34 are pushed into the fixed tube 33 along the wiring harness, so that the wedge-shaped clamping platform 36 of the rear cover 35 is clamped into the clamping mouth 37 of the fixed tube 33, thereby fixing the rear cover 35 and the fixed tube 33, and the sealing rubber ring 34 is used for sealing between the wiring harness and the fixed tube 33; then the screw 60 is passed through the mounting hole 39 and the connecting hole 18 to achieve fastening, thereby completing the assembly between the tail cover 30 and the insulator 10.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
