Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging heads for new energy vehicles, and more specifically, to an automatic adjusting charging head for new energy vehicles. Background Art
[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source (or use conventional automotive fuels and adopt new on-board power devices). They utilize advanced power control and drive technologies to form a new technical architecture and design that is different from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in this category rely on battery energy storage systems and need to be connected to an external power source through a charging head (charging gun) to replenish power.
[0003] When using an existing charging head, the user usually needs to hold the handle, align the pin in the socket of the charging head with the socket of the car socket, then gently insert the charging head into the charging socket of the car, and operate the button to lock it, so that the charging head can charge the car, and confirm its charging through the car dashboard or the screen of the charging station.
[0004] In actual use of the prior art, the pins of the charging head need to be precisely aligned with the sockets in the car charging socket. Since it is difficult to align them accurately at night, in insufficient light or in a narrow space, the user needs to try repeatedly to align them. Repeated attempts are not only time-consuming, but also cause anxiety or irritability in the user, affecting the user experience. Therefore, an automatically adjustable charging head for new energy vehicles is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment provides an automatically adjustable charging head for a new energy vehicle, comprising a charging head shell 1 and a charging head 101, the charging head shell 1 is rotatably connected to the charging head 101, and an adjustment component 2 is arranged inside the charging head shell 1.
[0032] Specifically, the adjustment component 2 includes a groove 201 opened inside the charging head housing 1, the inner wall of the groove 201 is fixedly connected to the motor 202, the output shaft end of the motor 202 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 203, one end of the charging head 101 can be rotatably inserted into the groove 201 and fixedly connected to a fixed rod 205, the outer surface of the fixed rod 205 is fixedly connected to a driven gear 204, and the driving gear 203 and the driven gear 204 are meshed.
[0033] Furthermore, when the user attempts to dock the charging head 101 with the new energy vehicle socket, if the initial attempt fails to align accurately, the built-in motor 202 will be activated by the sensor 4, causing the motor 202 to drive the driving gear 203 to rotate. Since the driving gear 203 is meshed with the driven gear 204, when the driving gear 203 rotates, it will drive the driven gear 204 to rotate. When the driven gear 204 rotates, it will drive the fixing rod 205 to rotate. The fixing rod 205 drives the charging head 101 to perform fine-tuning rotation, so as to automatically adjust the angle of the charging head 101, ensuring that the socket 102 and the pin 103 can be accurately aligned with the corresponding socket 102 of the car socket to achieve seamless connection.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The interior of the charging head shell 1 is rotatably connected to the charging head 101, and the outer surface of the charging head shell 1 is provided with a lighting assembly 3.
[0036] Specifically, the lighting assembly 3 includes two fixing plates 301 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the charging head shell 1, and the outer surfaces of the fixing plates 301 are fixedly connected to two night-time lighting lamps 302. The outer surface of the charging head shell 1 is fixedly connected to a handle 303, one end of the handle 303 is fixedly connected to a telescopic tube 304, one end of the telescopic tube 304 is fixedly connected to a cable 305, the outer surface of the handle 303 is sleeved with an anti-slip sleeve, and the outer surface of the handle 303 is fixedly connected to a plurality of anti-slip bumps 306.
[0037] Furthermore, two groups of night lights 302 on the surface of the charging head housing 1 provide sufficient lighting for the charging process in a low-light environment, helping the user to clearly identify the socket position and improve the accuracy of the connection. At the same time, the cooperation between the telescopic tube 304 and the cable 305 enhances the flexibility of the charging head, reduces the stress of the cable 305 during use, avoids damage caused by excessive bending of the cable 305, and allows the charging head 101 to move freely within a certain range.
[0038] Working principle: When in use, the user holds the handle 303, and the anti-slip bumps 306 on the surface of the handle 303 can enhance the stability of the grip, and ensure a firm grip even when the hands are wet or sweaty, thereby improving the safety and comfort of operation. At this time, when the user tries to dock the charging head 101 with the new energy vehicle socket, if the first attempt fails to accurately align, the built-in motor 202 will be activated by the sensor 4, so that the motor 202 drives the driving gear 203 to rotate. Since the driving gear 203 is meshed with the driven gear 204, when the driving gear 203 rotates, it will drive the driven gear 204 to rotate. When the driven gear 204 rotates, it will drive the fixing rod 205 to rotate. The fixing rod 205 drives the charging head 101 to perform fine-tuning rotation, so as to automatically adjust the angle of the charging head 101, to ensure that the socket 102 and the pin 103 can be accurately aligned with the corresponding socket 102 of the car socket to achieve seamless connection, thereby reducing the difficulty of manual alignment in low light, at night or in a narrow space.
[0039] At the same time, two groups of night lights 302 on the surface of the charging head housing 1 provide sufficient lighting for the charging process in a low-light environment, helping the user to clearly identify the socket position and improve the accuracy of the connection. At the same time, the cooperation between the telescopic tube 304 and the cable 305 enhances the flexibility of the charging head, reduces the stress of the cable 305 during use, avoids damage caused by excessive bending of the cable 305, and allows the charging head 101 to move freely within a certain range.
[0040] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
