Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of power plugs, and particularly relates to a power plug with temperature monitoring. Background Art

[0002] When a new energy vehicle is charged through slow charging at home, the power cord plug of the vehicle needs to be connected to the charging socket at home. Since there may be problems such as poor plug-in contact, socket quality, and overload between the power plug and the plugged-in socket, it is easy to cause the temperature at the plug-in point to rise. In order to avoid problems such as plug aging and fire caused by excessive temperature, a temperature sensor is provided inside the plug. Once the temperature is too high, the power converter for charging will cut off the power. However, at present, this temperature sensor is set inside the plug, and the heat conduction performance of the insulation structure of the plug itself is very poor, and it takes a long time for the temperature to reach the temperature sensor. Therefore, when the temperature sensor reaches the power-off temperature, the temperature at the plug-in point has already reached the power-off standard. In this case, it is very easy to cause a fire or damage to the socket and the plug. For this reason, we propose a power plug with temperature monitoring. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a power plug with temperature monitoring, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A power plug with temperature monitoring includes an insulating plug housing. A plug-in conductive structure is fixedly installed at the plug-in end of the insulating plug housing. Pull-out stoppers are fixedly installed at both the plugging and unplugging sides of the insulating plug housing. An insulating outer wire tube is fixedly connected to the lower end of the insulating plug housing. An oil storage tank is provided inside the insulating plug housing, and a temperature sensing structure is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the oil storage tank.

[0006] Further, the plug-in conductive structure includes a grounding metal sheet, a neutral wire metal sheet, a live wire metal sheet, and connecting wires. The grounding metal sheet, the neutral wire metal sheet, and the live wire metal sheet are all fixedly installed on the insulating plug housing, and the grounding metal sheet, the neutral wire metal sheet, and the live wire metal sheet all pass through the oil storage tank and are electrically connected to the connecting wires.

[0007] Further, the temperature sensing structure includes a temperature sensor and a transmission wire, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the transmission wire.

[0008] Further, there are three connecting wires in total, which are respectively electrically connected to the grounding metal sheet, the neutral wire metal sheet, and the live wire metal sheet. The three connecting wires and the transmission wire are all wrapped in the insulating outer wire tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the inside of the oil storage tank is in a sealed state and filled with insulating oil.

[0010] Furthermore, the grounding metal sheet, neutral wire metal sheet, live wire metal sheet and temperature sensor probe do not contact each other inside the oil storage tank.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In the utility model, when the power plug with temperature monitoring encounters problems such as poor plug-in contact, socket quality and overload, the temperatures on the grounding metal sheet, neutral wire metal sheet and live wire metal sheet rise, and then are conducted and diffused to the insulating oil in the oil storage tank through the grounding metal sheet, neutral wire metal sheet and live wire metal sheet, so that the temperature sensor probe can timely detect the temperatures on the grounding metal sheet, neutral wire metal sheet and live wire metal sheet and cut off the power in time for protection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] As Figure 1-2 shown, a power plug with temperature monitoring includes an insulating plug housing 1. A plug-in conductive structure 2 is fixedly installed at the plug-in end of the insulating plug housing 1. Pull-out flaps 3 are fixedly installed at both the plugging and unplugging sides of the insulating plug housing 1. An insulating outer wire tube 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the insulating plug housing 1. An oil storage tank 5 is provided inside the insulating plug housing 1. A temperature sensing structure 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the oil storage tank 5;

[0018] The plug-in conductive structure 2 includes a grounding metal sheet 201, a neutral wire metal sheet 202, a live wire metal sheet 203, and connecting wires 204. The grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203 are all fixedly installed on the insulating plug housing 1, and the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203 all pass through the oil storage tank 5 and are electrically connected to the connecting wires 204; the temperature sensing structure 6 includes a temperature sensing probe 601 and a transmission wire 602, and the temperature sensing probe 601 is electrically connected to the transmission wire 602; there are three connecting wires 204 in total, and they are respectively electrically connected to the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203. The three connecting wires 204 and the transmission wire 602 are all wrapped in the insulating outer conduit 4. The other ends of the connecting wires 204 and the transmission wire 602 are both connected to the power converter; the inside of the oil storage tank 5 is in a sealed state and filled with insulating oil; the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, the live wire metal sheet 203, and the temperature sensing probe 601 do not contact each other inside the oil storage tank 5.

[0019] It should be noted that the present utility model is a power plug with temperature monitoring. When in use, the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203 are plugged into a household socket. If problems such as poor contact, socket quality, and overload occur after plugging, resulting in an increase in the temperature at the plugging point, the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203 will first heat up. At this time, the temperature will be quickly transmitted to the insulating oil in the oil storage tank 5 through the grounding metal sheet 201, the neutral wire metal sheet 202, and the live wire metal sheet 203, so that the insulating oil quickly heats up. Because the heat conduction ability of the insulating oil is very fast, the temperature sensing probe 601 can quickly sense the temperature rise, which greatly speeds up the rate at which the temperature sensing probe 601 senses the temperature and can feedback the high temperature faster, thus avoiding losses caused by excessive temperature.

[0020] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
