Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shore power plugs and sockets, and particularly relates to a connection mechanism of a shore power plug and socket. Background Art

[0002] Shore power plugs are widely used in mines, docks, ports, wharves and the steel manufacturing industry with harsh environments. Previously, ships docked at docks, ports and locks had to generate electricity using ship auxiliary engines 24 hours a day to meet the electricity demand of the ships. The technology of connecting ships to shore power means that during the period when the ship is docked at the port, the generator on the ship is stopped and land power is used instead. The power provided by the port for shore power should be able to ensure that all the necessary electrical facilities on the ship can meet the electricity demand after docking.

[0003] There is a prior art with the publication number CN209571640U and the name of a connection mechanism of a shore power plug and socket. The connection mechanism includes an embedding groove on the socket body. A guiding groove is provided on the inner wall of the embedding groove and corresponds to a guiding boss at the head end of the plug body. An arc groove is provided at the rear side of the guiding boss, and the arc groove can embed a positioning ball on the socket body. When the plug and socket are inserted and combined, the guiding boss on the plug is aligned with the guiding groove on the socket, so that the plug is inserted into the embedding groove of the socket. When the plug is inserted in place, the positioning ball embeds into the arc groove to position the plug. Through the guiding of the guiding boss and the guiding groove, and the precise positioning of the positioning ball and the arc groove, the head of the plug can accurately insert into the embedding groove of the socket and be precisely positioned, with easy insertion, small insertion and separation force, accurate positioning and convenient operation.

[0004] However, the above shore power plug and socket are plugged and fixed. The shore power connection operation is completed by the corresponding clamping connection of the guiding boss on the plug and the guiding groove on the socket. However, the plug and the cable connected to the rear of the plug are often relatively heavy, and there is a lack of a pressing connection component when the plug is connected to the socket. Under the action of the gravity of the cable, the plug is likely to fall off and separate from the socket, affecting the normal charging of the ship and reducing the charging efficiency of the ship. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model solves the problems in the related art and provides a connection mechanism of a shore power plug and socket.
