Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power transmission, in particular to a stable plugging structure of a connector. Background Art
[0002] With the development of power electronic devices and the continuous expansion of application fields, high-current connectors, as an indispensable part of the power transmission system, play an important role in industrial automation, new energy vehicle charging facilities, data centers and other scenarios. High-current connectors are required to have high reliability, stability and safety.
[0003] At present, the plugging structures of high-current connectors widely used in the market mostly adopt a simple elastic piece type limiting mechanism to realize the connection and fixation between the plug and the socket. Although this limiting method has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, there are some deficiencies in the actual use process. First, due to the long-term action of the plugging and unplugging force on the elastic piece, it is easy to deform or fatigue, resulting in a decrease in the contact pressure, and then making the connection between the plug and the socket unstable, and even loosening; second, frequent plugging and unplugging will cause the elasticity of the elastic piece to weaken, shortening the service life of the connector; the most crucial is that in some harsh environments (such as vibration, temperature change, etc.), if the plug and the socket become loose due to the failure of the elastic piece, it may cause arc discharge or other safety accidents.
