Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging equipment, in particular to a charging gun with a replaceable end. Background Art

[0002] A charging pile is a charging device that provides energy for electric vehicles. Its function is similar to that of a gas pump in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or on a wall and installed in public buildings (public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential parking lots or charging stations. It can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. These charging stations basically use charging guns to charge electric vehicles. However, due to their own shortcomings, the plug of the existing charging gun is prone to aging and damage.

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, it was found through search that: the authorization announcement number CN106532339B discloses a charging gun with a replaceable plug and an assembly method thereof, including a charging gun body and a plug arranged at the end of the charging gun body, the plug having a charging interface that can be electrically connected to an external device to be charged, the charging gun body and the plug are connected in a detachable manner, that is, the charging gun body has a connection interface that matches the plug, a locking ring is arranged outside the connection interface, the plug is plugged and installed at the connection interface, and the plug is locked at the connection interface by rotating the locking ring, so that the plug cannot be detached from the connection interface.

[0004] Although this solution adopts a detachable assembly method between the charging gun body and the charging plug, when the plug is damaged, it only needs to be removed from the charging gun body and replaced with a new plug, without replacing the entire charging gun, which can greatly reduce the cost of using the charging gun and reduce waste. However, there is still a disadvantage: the locking ring installed in the annular groove interferes with the card block, and the locking ring is easily affected by external force, which causes the locking ring position to shift and the plug to lose its restriction, thereby causing the replaced new plug to fall off.
