Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figure 1-6 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An electric vehicle battery pack overcharge protection device comprises a shell 1, wherein the outer walls at both ends of the front and rear of the shell 1 are both provided with shutters 4, the inner bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a slide groove 18, the inner wall of the slide groove 18 is slidably connected with a charging protector 12, the left and right ends of the charging protector 12 are respectively provided with a connection end 2 16 and a connection end 11, a side door 8 is provided on the rear end outer wall of the shell 1 through a plurality of combination pages 10, a locking assembly 19 is provided between the side door 8 and the shell 1, the side door 8 and the outer wall at the left end of the shell 1 are both provided with rectangular openings 25, the two groups of rectangular openings 25 are respectively aligned with the connection end 2 16 and the connection end 11, the side door 8 and the outer wall of the shell 1 near the rectangular opening 25 are both provided with dust shield assemblies 9, a rectangular groove 13 is provided inside the charging protector 12, and the inner walls at the left and right ends of the rectangular groove 13 are respectively provided with There are metal plate 2 15 and metal plate 3 21, the front end outer wall of the charging protector 12 is installed with a motor 7, the output end of the motor 7 passes through the inside of the rectangular groove 13, and the output end of the motor 7 is installed with a metal tube 23, the outer walls of the metal tube 23 are respectively installed with metal rod 1 20 and metal rod 2 22, the other end of the metal rod 1 20 is installed with a metal plate 14, the other end of the metal rod 2 22 is installed with a metal plate 4 24, the metal plate 4 24 is in contact with the metal plate 3 21, the metal plate 14 is in contact with the metal plate 2 15, a control board 17 is installed on the top of the charging protector 12, the left end outer wall of the shell 1 is respectively installed with a signal light 1 5 and a signal light 2 6, the control board 17 is electrically connected to the motor 7, the signal light 1 5 and the signal light 2 6, and the output end of the motor 7 is an insulator.

[0028] Furthermore, the dust shield assembly 9 includes rectangular blocks 91, two groups of rectangular blocks 91 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the shell 1 near the front and rear ends of the rectangular opening 25, and the other two groups of rectangular blocks 91 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the side door 8 near the front and rear ends of the rectangular opening 25. A rotating shaft 92 is installed between each two groups of rectangular blocks 91, and a baffle 94 is installed on the outer wall at the lower end of the rotating shaft 92, and the baffle 94 completely blocks the rectangular opening 25.

[0029] Furthermore, a torsion spring 93 is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft 92 and the rectangular block 91, and a groove 95 is provided on the outer wall of the baffle 94. When the connection end 11 and the connection end 16 are needed, the baffle 94 can be pushed outward.

At this time, the control board 17 controls the output end of the motor 7 to rotate, and the output end of the motor 7 drives the metal plate 4 24 and the metal plate 1 14 to contact the metal plate 3 21 and the metal plate 2 15 respectively through the metal tube 23, the metal rod 22 and the metal rod 1 20, so that The charging protector 12 starts to work, and the signal light 15 lights up. When the charging protector 12 detects that the battery pack is fully charged, the control board 17 controls the output end of the motor 7 to rotate, and the output end of the motor 7 drives the metal plate 4 24 and the metal plate 1 14 to leave the metal plate 3 21 and the metal plate 2 15 respectively through the metal tube 23, the metal rod 22 and the metal rod 1 20, thereby forming a circuit break and stopping charging. At this time, the signal light 2 6 lights up, and the user can understand the charging status according to the prompt of the signal light. When the charging protector 12 needs to be repaired, the locking assembly 19 can be opened to open the side door 8, so that the charging protector 12 can be taken out.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
