[0002] Electric vehicles are vehicles that use onboard power as a power source, use motors to drive wheels, and comply with various requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. With the gradual improvement of global environmental awareness, the popularity of electric vehicles is also gradually increasing. However, since electric vehicles need to be charged for energy replenishment, how to charge electric vehicles is currently an important issue and a major problem that hinders the popularization of electric vehicles.

[0003] When charging an electric vehicle, the charging gun needs to be connected to the charging socket. In order to ensure the connection strength between the charging gun and the charging socket, a locking groove is provided on the charging socket, and a locking block that cooperates with the locking groove is provided on the charging gun. The cooperation between the locking block and the locking groove prevents the charging gun from loosening relative to the charging socket during the charging process of the electric vehicle.

[0004] However, in actual use, it was found that during the process of plugging and unplugging the charging gun, the locking block would repeatedly rub the charging socket, causing the charging socket to easily wear, thereby affecting the service life of the charging socket. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to extend the service life of the charging socket, the present application provides a flip-top crimping type DC socket for charging an electric vehicle.

[0006] The present application provides a flip-top crimping DC socket for charging an electric vehicle, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flip-top crimping DC socket for charging an electric vehicle is used to charge the electric vehicle in conjunction with a charging gun and a power source, and comprises a socket body, the socket body comprising an accommodating cavity, the socket body being provided with a locking groove that cooperates with the charging gun, and characterized in that the socket body is provided with a supporting portion for providing support for the locking groove, the supporting portion being adapted to the shape of the locking groove, a clamping plate being provided at one end of the supporting portion close to the opening of the accommodating cavity, and the socket body being provided with a clamping groove for the clamping plate to be engaged.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, through the setting of the support part, the strength of the socket body can be effectively improved without affecting the structure of the socket body itself, and the service life of the socket body can be effectively extended; through the setting of the clamping plate, not only the contact area between the support part and the socket body is increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the support part and the socket body, but also the direct friction between the charging gun and the socket body is effectively reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the socket body and extending the service life of the socket body.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of fixed arc plates are provided on the support portion, and a fixed arc groove for the fixed arc plates to be engaged is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the locking groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, with the cooperation of the fixed arc plate and the fixed arc groove, the contact area between the support part and the socket body is further increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the support part and the socket body, making it difficult for the support part to separate from the socket body.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes an electrical connection terminal, which includes two DE terminals and one PE terminal. The electrical connection terminal is plugged into the charging gun, and the socket body is provided with an engaging sleeve for engaging the electrical connection terminal.

[0013] Preferably, a socket torsion spring is provided in the electrical connection terminal.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the socket torsion spring, mechanical damping can be provided for the DC socket, thereby reducing the shaking of the electrical connection terminal of the charging gun during the insertion or removal process, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the DC socket.

[0015] Preferably, a flap is rotatably connected to the socket body, and the flap is used to control the connection and closure of the accommodating cavity with the outside world. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the socket body, a rotating through hole cooperating with the rotating shaft is provided on the flap, and a control torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft for controlling the flap to rotate in a direction away from the socket body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the flip cover can provide protection for the DC socket when the DC socket is idle. By controlling the setting of the torsion spring, the flip cover can remain in an open state in the absence of other external forces, which makes it easy for the charging gun to be embedded in the socket body. During the charging process, the flip cover is not easy to collide with the charging gun, which makes it difficult for the charging gun to separate from the flip cover to a certain extent.

[0017] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided on the side of the flip cover facing the accommodating cavity.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the rubber pad, when the flip cover is closed, foreign matter and water are not easy to enter the accommodating cavity to cause damage to the DC socket, thereby effectively protecting the DC socket.

[0019] Preferably, a hydrophobic hole is provided at the bottom of the socket body, and the hydrophobic hole is communicated with the accommodating cavity.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the drain hole, if water accidentally enters the DC socket, it can be discharged from the drain hole, thereby further providing protection for the DC socket.

[0021] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. Through the arrangement of the support part and the clamping plate, the strength of the socket body can be effectively improved without affecting the structure of the socket body itself, and the direct friction between the charging gun and the socket body can be reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the socket body and extending the service life of the socket body;
