DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a motor lock for a charging gun includes a lock housing 1, a driving assembly and a lock tongue assembly, the driving assembly includes a driving seat 2, a driving screw 3 and a switching column 4, the driving seat 2 is slidably arranged on the lock housing 1, the driving screw 3 is rotatably mounted on the lock housing 1, the driving seat 2 has the freedom to move along the axial direction of the driving screw 3, an installation cavity 5 is opened at one end of the driving seat 2 close to the driving screw 3, one end of the driving screw 3 penetrates into the installation cavity 5, the switching column 4 is embedded in the driving seat 2, the switching column 4 is perpendicular to the driving screw 3, a locking ball 6 is arranged at one end of the switching column 4 close to the driving screw 3, the locking ball 6 moves close to or away from the driving screw 3, and the locking ball 6 The lock tongue assembly includes a lock seat 7 and an inclined driving block 8, the lock seat 7 is slidably mounted on the lock housing 1, the moving direction of the lock seat 7 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the driving seat 2, a lock tongue 9 is fixed to one end of the lock seat 7, the lock housing 1 is provided with a lock hole 10 for the lock tongue 9 to extend out, an inclined groove 11 is provided in the lock seat 7, the bottom end of the inclined driving block 8 is fixedly connected to the driving seat 2, and the high end of the inclined driving block 8 is slidably adapted in the inclined groove 11, the driving assembly also includes a motor 12 and a transmission shaft 13, the motor 12 is fixed in the lock housing 1, the transmission shaft 13 is rotatably arranged in the lock housing 1, and the output shaft of the motor 12 is connected to the driving The driving gear 14, the transmission shaft 13 is provided with a first large gear 15 and a small gear 16, the driving screw 3 is provided with a second large gear 17, the driving gear 14 meshes with the first large gear 15, the small gear 16 meshes with the second large gear 17, the motor 12 drives the transmission shaft 13 to rotate through the meshing of the driving gear 14 and the first large gear 15, the transmission shaft 13 drives the driving screw 3 to rotate through the meshing of the small gear 16 and the second large gear 17, under normal conditions, a part of the lock ball 6 passes through the switching column 4 and fits in the thread groove of the driving screw 3, so that the driving screw 3 and the driving seat 2 form a screw transmission pair, and the rotation of the driving screw 3 will be converted into the driving seat 2, so that the driving screw 3 drives the driving seat 2 to make a linear motion along the axial direction of the driving screw 3, so that the driving seat 2 drives the tilting driving block 8 to move closer to or away from the lock seat 7. Since the tilting driving block 8 slides in the tilting groove 11, and the tilting driving block 8 makes a linear motion, and the moving direction of the lock seat 7 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the tilting driving block 8, the tilting driving block 8 drives the lock seat 7 to move up and down, and then drives the lock tongue 9 to extend or retract from the lock hole 10, so as to achieve the effect of automatic locking and unlocking. The locking of the lock tongue is completed by the self-locking of the motor 12, so as to improve the locking stability and prevent the charging gun from colliding and falling off.
[0019] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 5As shown, a spring 18 is arranged in the installation cavity 5, one end of the spring 18 is fixedly sleeved on the driving screw 3, and the other end is in contact with the driving seat 2.

An operating hole 22 is opened at a position of the lock shell 1 opposite to the switching screw 21. When the motor 12 is powered off or damaged and cannot work, manual unlocking is performed through the pull rope 20, and the switching screw 21 is rotated through the operating hole 22, so that the switching screw 21 moves away from the driving screw 3, so that the locking ball 6 returns to the switching column 4 under the action of gravity, so that the locking ball 6 is separated from the thread groove of the driving screw 3. At this time, the connection between the driving screw 3 and the driving seat 2 is separated, and then the pull rope 20 is pulled to drive the driving seat 2 to move, so that the driving seat 2 moves away from the lock seat 7, and the driving seat 2 squeezes The compression spring 18 drives the tilting driving block 8 to move, and the tilting driving block 8 drives the lock seat 7 to move upward, so that the lock tongue 9 returns to the lock shell 1 to complete the unlocking. After the pull rope 20 is loosened, the driving seat 2 is reset under the reaction force of the spring 18, and the driving seat 2 drives the lock seat 7 and the lock tongue 9 to reset through the tilting driving block 8, so as to avoid the problem that the motor 12 is suddenly damaged and cannot be unlocked; after the problem of the motor 12 is solved, the driving screw 3 is adjusted, and the lock ball 6 is pushed out from the top of the switching column 4 through the driving screw 3, so that the lock ball 6 is partially adapted to the thread groove of the driving screw 3, so that the driving screw 3 and the driving seat 2 re-form a screw transmission pair, so that the motor 12 can indirectly drive the lock seat 7 to move to realize the locking and unlocking operation; in specific implementation, a stepped groove is opened inside the switching column 4, and the stepped groove includes a small diameter groove and a large diameter groove. The small diameter groove passes through the top of the switching column 4, and the lock ball 6 is adapted to the large diameter groove. The lock ball 6 partially extends out of the small diameter groove, so that the lock ball 6 will not separate from the switching column 4.
