[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, various electronic devices are becoming more and more popular. As an important component connecting power and electronic devices, plugs are used more and more frequently. However, existing plugs generally overheat during use, which not only reduces the service life of the plugs, but also poses great safety hazards. Although some plugs are currently designed with cooling functions, the effect is not ideal and there are still certain safety hazards.

[0003] Although some plugs on the market have tried to introduce cooling functions, the effects of these products are often limited and fail to fundamentally solve the problem. Some even increase safety hazards due to design defects. This situation has prompted researchers to continuously explore and propose new improvement plans, such as improving the heat dissipation efficiency by optimizing the heat dissipation structure of the plug, or using new materials to reduce the heat generated by the plug when it is working.

For example, although the optimization of the heat dissipation structure can theoretically improve the heat dissipation efficiency, in the actual manufacturing process, it may be affected by factors such as cost control and design complexity, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the final product. Although the adoption of new materials has broad prospects, its application in plug manufacturing may be limited by problems such as high cost, insufficient material stability, and immature processing technology. In addition, the introduction of any new technology requires rigorous testing to verify its reliability, and this process often requires a lot of time and financial investment.

[0026] The vehicle-mounted liquid-cooled connector described in this embodiment achieves electrical conduction through the conductive component 200. At the same time, the conductive component 200 is cooled in real time through the cooling component 100 during its operation, so that the temperature of the conductive component 200 can always be kept at a low state, thereby avoiding problems such as shortened service life and increased use risks caused by overheating of the plug. Most importantly, the structural setting of the cooling groove 116 can surround and cool the conductive component 200 from multiple directions, thereby greatly improving the cooling effect. Compared with the current conventional plug structure, the present application has significant advantages such as constant use temperature, reduced safety hazards, long service life and low use cost.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cooling component 100 is disposed inside the cubic shell, and the cable 230 passes through the shell and enters the cooling groove 116 in the box body 110, and the conductive component 200 is disposed on the other side of the shell along the first direction X, and is electrically connected to the cable 230 in the cooling groove 116.

The two extensions 115 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the main body 114 and are symmetrically arranged along the first direction X, so that the cooling effect of the two cooling grooves 116 can be uniform and stable. Here, an extension portion 115 is taken as an example to introduce the specific structure: specifically, any of the extension portions 115 includes a connecting end 1151 and a stop end 1152, the connecting end 1151 is fixedly connected to the edge of the main body 114, and extends along the first direction X in a direction away from the main body 114, the stop end 1152 is respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 114 in the extension direction of the connecting end 1151, the stop end 1152 is parallel to the main body 114, and extends along the third direction Z, the main body 114, the connecting end 1151 and the stop end 1152 together enclose the cooling groove 116.
