[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] With the popularity of electric bicycles, the demand for charging is growing. However, there are some problems with traditional electric bicycle charging connectors during use. The design of charging connectors is often simple, and the plugging and unplugging operations are not convenient enough, especially for users with less strength or in certain special environments, plugging and unplugging the charger may be more laborious. Moreover, the structure and material of some connectors are unreasonable, which can easily lead to wear and damage during plugging and unplugging, affecting the service life and charging safety.
[0025] The male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector is conveniently pulled out from the female seat through the power-assisting mechanism, so that the user can pull out the male plug with less effort; the power-assisting part has a first arc surface, a pressing arc surface and a second arc surface, and the middle part of the pressing arc surface protrudes away from the direction of the rotation axis. When the power-assisting part rotates toward the vehicle body, the pressing arc surface applies a force to the vehicle body, and then the male plug leaves the female seat under the force to achieve pulling out.
[0026] Figure 1 A structural diagram of a male plug of an electric bicycle charging connector provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 An exploded structural diagram of a male plug of an electric bicycle charging connector provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the use of the male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a male plug of an electric bicycle charging connector, including: a male plug body 100 and a power assist mechanism 200 .
[0027] Among them, the male plug body 100 includes: a housing 110 and an insertion end housing 120 provided on the housing 110. The housing 110 has a rotation axis 130; a boosting mechanism 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 110; the boosting mechanism 200 includes: two boosting parts 210 arranged at intervals. The two boosting parts 210 are located on both sides of the housing 110 and perpendicular to the rotation axis 130. The boosting part 210 has a first arc surface 211, a pressing arc surface 212 and a second arc surface 213. The pressing arc surface 212 is smoothly connected to the first arc surface 211 and the second arc surface 213, and the middle of the pressing arc surface 212 protrudes in a direction away from the rotation axis 130.
[0028] In the boosting part 210, through the first arc surface 211 and the second arc surface 213, smooth transition and operation fluency during the plugging and unplugging process are achieved.
[0029] When the male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector in this embodiment is in use, the male plug has been inserted into the female seat. At this time, the pressing arc surface 212 of the boosting part 210 contacts the vehicle body surface where the female seat is located. The boosting part 210 is rotated in the direction of the vehicle body surface where the female seat is located, and the pressing arc surface 212 of the boosting part 210 exerts a force on the vehicle body surface where the female seat is located; under this force, the male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector gradually moves away from the female seat, so as to realize the extraction of the male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector from the female seat.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in some embodiments, the boosting mechanism 200 further includes: a lifting part 220, and the lifting part 220 is connected to the two boosting parts 210.
[0031] With such a setting, it is convenient for the user's hand to contact the boosting mechanism 200, so as to exert a force on the boosting mechanism 200 and realize the extraction operation of the male plug of the electric bicycle charging connector.
[0032] Specifically, the lifting part 220 includes: a first arm 221, a lifting arm 222 and a second arm 223. The lifting arm 222 is respectively connected to the first arm 221 and the second arm 223. The first arm 221 is connected to one boosting part 210, and the second arm 223 is connected to the other boosting part 210. In this way, through the first arm 221 and the second arm 223, a uniform boosting effect is provided from both sides.
[0033] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in some embodiments, anti-slip ridges 224 are provided on the inner walls of the first arm 221, the lifting arm 222 and the second arm 223. In this way, through the anti-slip ridges 224, the contact stability between the user's hand and the boosting mechanism 200 is improved.
[0034] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, limiting bumps are respectively provided at both ends of the housing 110. The limiting bumps can respectively limit the first arm 221 and the second arm 223, thereby restricting the further rotation of the boosting mechanism 200.
[0035] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in some embodiments, the housing 110 is provided with a rotating hole 111, and the boosting part 210 is provided with a rotating unit 214. The rotating unit 214 is disposed through the rotating hole 111.
[0036] In this way, when the rotating unit 214 of the boosting part 210 is disposed through the rotating hole 111, the boosting mechanism 200 can rotate relative to the housing 110. In addition, the above mechanism can also realize the detachable connection between the boosting mechanism 200 and the housing 110, facilitating the installation of the boosting mechanism 200 and the housing 110.
[0037] Specifically, the rotating unit 214 includes: a shaft body 2141 and a pressing piece 2142. The shaft body 2141 is connected to the boosting part 210, the pressing piece 2142 is connected to the shaft body 2141, the shaft body 2141 is disposed through the rotating hole 111, and the pressing piece 2142 abuts against the inner surface of the rotating hole 111. The central axis of the shaft body 2141 is the rotation axis 130.
[0038] By providing the pressing piece 2142 on the shaft body 2141 and the pressing piece 2142 abutting against the inner surface of the rotating hole 111, it is realized that the rotating unit 214 is not easily separated from the rotating hole 111, thereby improving the connection stability between the boosting mechanism 200 and the housing 110. And, the pressing piece is an eccentric structure relative to the shaft body 2141, that is, both opposite ends of the pressing piece 2142 protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body 2141, but the protruding part of one end of the pressing piece 2142 is more than that of the other end of the pressing piece 2142. In this way, it is convenient to detachably install the rotating unit 214 in the rotating hole 111.
