[0002] In the prior art, the liquid cooling system of a charging gun is as shown in Chinese Patent 202121608179.0, which discloses a charging gun and specifically discloses that the cooling method for positive and negative terminals is to cool a pair of positive and negative terminals through a single liquid cooling unit, with low cooling efficiency and complex assembly.

[0003] In view of the above prior art, German Patent DE102016204895B4 discloses a charging connector for coupling with a corresponding connection device and transmitting electric energy.
