[0028] In the existing technology, the hollow cylindrical metal body on the inner wall of the DC line plug is flush with the plane of the plug head.

There is a possibility of arcing, which can easily cause the product to short-circuit and burn out.

[0029] In view of this, the present application proposes an arc-proof DC line plug, comprising: a DC line 1 and a plug 2, the DC line 1 comprising a positive line 101 and a negative line 102, the plug 2 comprising an outer tube 210, an insulator 220 and a terminal 230, the outer tube 210 being arranged on the outside of the insulator 220, the terminal 230 being arranged inside the insulator 220, the negative line 102 being welded to the outer tube 210, the positive line 101 being welded to the terminal 230, and the distance from the terminal 230 to the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1 being greater than the distance from the outer tube 210 to the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1.

[0030] In the examples of this application, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The arc-proof DC line plug includes a DC line 1 and a plug 2 , wherein the DC line 1 includes a positive line 101 and a negative line 102 .

[0031] refer to Figure 2 The plug 2 includes an outer tube 210 , an insulator 220 and a terminal 230 . The outer tube 210 is arranged outside the insulator 220 , and the terminal 230 is arranged inside the insulator 220 .

[0032] refer to Figure 3 The insulator 220 is a cylindrical structure made of insulating material. A circular receiving hole 221 is provided inside the insulator. The receiving hole 221 is used to accommodate the center pin 310 inside the socket 3 so that the center pin 310 can be inserted into the insulator 220. An receiving groove 222 is provided on the side of the receiving hole 221 corresponding to the inside of the insulator 220, and the above-mentioned terminal 230 is arranged in the receiving groove 222.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The outer tube 210 is a cylindrical structure made of metal material. The outer tube 210 is sleeved on the outside of the insulator 220 and is fixedly connected to the insulator 220. A plurality of annular anti-slip grooves 211 are provided on the end of the outer side of the outer tube 210 away from the DC line 1 to prevent the plug 2 from withdrawing by itself when the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 3.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The terminal 230 is an elongated structure as a whole. One end of the terminal 230 is a tuning fork-shaped elastic structure. The tuning fork-shaped end of the terminal 230 is used to contact and connect with the center pin 310. The tuning fork-shaped end of the terminal 230 is symmetrically provided with a protrusion 231 facing inward, which is used to clamp the outer side of the center pin 310.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The other end of the terminal 230 is a square structure, and the other end of the terminal 230 extends to the outside of the insulator 220. A connecting hole 232 is opened in the middle of the other end of the terminal 230, and the connecting hole 232 is used to connect to the DC line 1.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two card slots 233 are set on the terminal 230 between the tuning fork-shaped structure and the connecting hole 232, and card blocks 223 are set inside the insulator 220 corresponding to the two card slots 233. The terminal 230 is inserted into the insulator 220, and the terminal 230 is fixed in the insulator 220 through the snap-fitting between the two card blocks 223 and the card slots 233.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The negative wire 102 is connected to the end of the outer tube 210 close to the DC wire 1 by welding. A notch 224 is provided on the outer side of the insulator 220 close to the end of the DC wire 1. The notch 224 is used to limit the position of the negative wire 102 and facilitate welding of the negative wire 102. The positive wire 101 passes through the connection hole 232 in a hook shape and hooks onto the terminal 230. The positive wire 101 is then fixedly connected to the terminal 230 by welding. A shell (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outside of the connection between the DC wire 1 and the plug 2. The shell wraps the connection between the DC wire 1 and the plug 2, making the connection between the DC wire 1 and the plug 2 more stable.

[0038] refer to Figure 4 The distance between the terminal 230 and the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1 is greater than the distance between the outer tube 210 and the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1. When the plug 2 is inserted into the socket 3, the outer tube 210 will first contact the spring terminal 320 in the socket 3, and then the terminal 230 will contact the center pin 310 inserted into the socket 3, that is, the negative line will be connected before the positive line.

[0039] In summary, when this device is used, refer to Figure 5 , insert the plug 2 into the socket 3, the center pin 310 in the socket 3 will enter the accommodating hole 221 and enter the middle of the tuning fork-shaped structure of the terminal 230, and the spring terminal 320 in the socket 3 will abut against the outer tube 210. During this process, since the distance from the terminal 230 to the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1 is greater than the distance from the outer tube 210 to the end of the insulator 220 away from the DC line 1, the outer tube 210 will first contact the spring terminal 320 in the socket 3, and then the terminal 230 will contact the center pin 310 inserted into the socket 3, that is, the negative line will be connected before the positive line; when the plug 2 is fully inserted into the socket 3, the tuning fork-shaped structure of the terminal 230 will be clamped on the outside of the center pin 310 by the protrusion 231, and the spring terminal 320 in the socket 3 will abut against the anti-slip groove 211 on the outer tube 210, so that the plug 2 and the socket 3 are stably connected.

[0040] The technical solution of the present application is to provide an outer tube on the outside of the insulator and a terminal on the inside of the insulator, and to make the distance from the terminal to the end of the insulator away from the DC line greater than the distance from the outer tube to the end of the insulator away from the DC line, so that the negative line will be connected before the positive line, that is, the contact between the grounding outer tube of the plug and the spring terminal of the socket takes precedence over the contact between the center pin of the socket and the plug terminal, thereby preventing the generation of arcs and reducing the possibility of short circuit problems and burning of the product.
