DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] A self-locking and anti-dropping battery charging connector for a power exchange cabinet, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a battery swap cabinet 1, a revolving door 2, a battery 3, a charging interface 4, a plug 5 and a self-locking mechanism 6. The revolving door 2 is rotatably connected to the front left side of the battery swap cabinet 1. A handle is provided on the front side of the revolving door 2 for easy gripping of the revolving door 2. A battery 3 is placed inside the battery swap cabinet 1. The charging interface 4 is connected to the upper middle side of the battery 3. The plug 5 is clamped on the charging interface 4. The plug 5 is connected to the battery swap cabinet 1. The battery swap cabinet 1 is provided with a self-locking mechanism 6 that can self-lock the plug 5.
[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the self-locking mechanism 6 includes a mounting seat 61, a sleeve 62, a limiting frame 63, a first telescopic spring 64 and a locking frame 65. The mounting seat 61 is connected to the rear side of the power exchange cabinet 1, and the front sides of the left and right parts of the mounting seat 61 are connected to the sleeve 62. The inside of the sleeve 62 is slidably connected with the limiting frame 63, and the front side of the limiting frame 63 is an inclined surface. The first telescopic spring 64 is connected between the limiting frame 63 and the adjacent sleeve 62. The locking frame 65 is connected to the lower part of the plug 5, and the limiting frame 63 is clamped with the locking frame 65, and the limiting frame is squeezed together with the locking frame.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a protective mechanism 7 is also included, and the protective mechanism 7 includes a protective cover 71, a guide frame 72 and a second telescopic spring 73. The protective cover 71 is slidably connected to the locking frame 65, and the protective cover 71 is in contact with the charging interface 4. The upper sides of the front and rear parts of the locking frame 65 are connected to the guide frames 72, and the lower sides of the guide frames 72 are provided with limit blocks for easy positioning. The guide frames 72 are slidably connected to the protective covers 71, and a second telescopic spring 73 is connected between the guide frames 72 and the protective covers 71.
[0023] When using the device, first place the battery swap cabinet 1 in the charging area of the battery 3, then hold the handle to open the revolving door 2, then place the battery 3 on the battery swap cabinet 1, and then insert the plug 5 into the charging port 4, so that the locking frame 65 contacts the limiting frame 63, the limiting frame 63 moves backward on the sleeve 62, and the first telescopic spring 64 is squeezed and contracted. When the plug 5 is connected to the charging port 4, the limiting frame 63 moves forward on the sleeve 62, and the first telescopic spring 64 is restored, so that the limiting frame 63 is connected to the locking frame 65, so that the plug 5 can be self-locked, reducing the risk of accidental detachment of the plug 5 and avoiding short circuits or other safety hazards during charging. When the plug 5 is inserted into the charging interface 4, the protective cover 71 contacts the charging interface 4. Under the action of the second telescopic spring 73, the protective cover 71 fits tightly against the charging interface 4, thereby preventing dust from entering the charging interface 4, reducing pollution and corrosion inside the charging interface 4, and extending the service life of the charging interface 4. When the battery 3 needs to be taken out, the plug 5 can be moved upward, driving the locking frame 65 to move upward, so that the limiting frame 63 moves forward and backward, and the first telescopic spring 64 shrinks and rebounds, so that the limiting frame 63 no longer contacts the locking frame 65, and the protective cover 71 no longer contacts the charging interface 4, thereby making the plug 5 detach from the charging interface 4, and then the battery 3 can be taken out.
