Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-6 A flip-top DC socket for charging an electric vehicle comprises a housing 1 and a flip-top body 2. Stainless steel bolt pads are arranged at the four corners of the flip-top body 2 to connect it with the vehicle body to play a waterproof, vibration-eliminating and loose-proof role. A flip-top 3 is arranged at the outer end of the flip-top body 2. A torsion spring is arranged at the rotation connection between the flip-top 3 and the flip-top body 2. A rubber pad is arranged on the inner side of the flip-top 3. The ribs on the rubber pad are matched with the end surface of the flip-top body 2 to improve the waterproof effect. A card connector adapted to the flip-top 3 is arranged on the flip-top body 2 to improve the sealing performance between the flip-top 3 and the flip-top body 2 after closing, reduce the entry of water vapor, and play a dustproof and waterproof effect. A damping is arranged at the hinged connection of the flip-top 3 to play an opening buffer.
[0023] Among them, an integrated PCB board 6 is installed inside the flip cover body 2, and a plurality of signal terminals 7, DC terminals 8 and PE terminals 9 are installed on the integrated PCB board 6. A claw is provided at the tail of the signal terminal 7, and the claw is interference fit with the signal terminal 7. Waterproof rubber is provided on the signal terminal 7, DC terminal 8 and PE terminal 9. The waterproof rubber cooperates with the flip cover body 2 and the shell 1 to waterproof the internal cavity. By changing the large waterproof rubber in the current structure into a plurality of small waterproof rubbers and installing them separately, the waterproof ring is retracted, which improves the waterproof effect and facilitates its assembly. Temperature sensors 62 are also provided at both ends of the integrated PCB board 6. The outer side of the temperature sensor 62 is coated with thermal conductive silicone 61. After the thermal conductive silicone 61 is sleeved on the integrated PCB board 6, the integrated PCB board 6 is placed in the shell 1. The setting of the thermal conductive silicone 61 can provide relatively stable heat transfer.

Compared with the existing method of connecting the PE transfer spring 64 and the socket terminal 11 through a wire, the connection circuit is provided on the integrated PCB board 6, thereby facilitating the assembly of the socket;
[0025] A DC socket pressure plate 4 and a square wire 10 are installed inside the shell 1. The DC socket pressure plate 4 is pressed on the integrated PCB board 6 and is connected and fixed by self-tapping screws. The outer ring of the DC socket pressure plate 4 is provided with a waterproof ring 5. The waterproof ring 5 is installed inside the shell 1 and the shell 1 has a sealed waterproof structure. The shell 1 is connected to the flip cover body 2 by a snap buckle, and the square wire 10 is connected to the DC terminal 8 by ultrasonic welding.
[0026] In this embodiment: by pre-installing the electronic components into the inside of the flip cover body 2 and the shell 1 respectively, the flip cover body 2 and the shell 1 are snap-connected again, so that the internal signal terminal 7 is connected to the signal plug 12, the DC terminal 8 is connected to the square wire 10, and finally the signal plug 12 is assembled to the socket terminal 11 to complete the electrical connection with the integrated PCB board 6, so that the socket is assembled. The signal part in the socket adopts a stamping snap conductive connection, and the original fixed structure is applied to the conductive connection, which greatly saves costs. At the same time, the original split wiring harness assembly is now assembled using a pressure plate snap structure to achieve rapid installation, automatic production, and save assembly time.
