[0017] The specific implementation scheme of the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4The liquid-cooled charging gun for new energy vehicles shown in the figure includes a gun housing 6, the front end of the gun housing 6 is connected to a charging plug 12, and the inner cavity of the plug 12 is provided with two main terminals 8 and multiple secondary terminals 11. The inner cavity of the gun housing 6 is coaxially provided with two independent cooling pipes 7 with the two main terminals 8. The cooling pipe 7 includes a main shell 71 in the shape of an "up" with a through cavity inside. The four ends of the main shell 71 are set as openings. The rear end of the main terminal 8 is inserted into the lower horizontal front end opening of the main shell 71. The lower rear end opening of the main shell 71 is connected to the input pipe 73. The inner cavity of the main shell 71 The opening on one side close to the main terminal 8 is sealed with a heat-conducting tube 78. A temperature sensor 79 is provided between the main terminal 8 and the heat-conducting tube 78. One end of the heat-conducting tube 78 opens toward one side of the input pipe 73. The top opening of the main shell 71 is sealed with a headless screw 77. The upper horizontal rear end opening of the main shell 71 is connected to the output pipe 75. The output pipe 75 and the input pipe 73 are arranged relatively parallel to each other up and down. The coolant flows from the input pipe 73 into the heat-conducting tube 78 in the horizontal inner cavity at the lower part of the main shell 71, then flows upward into the vertical inner cavity of the main shell 71 and flows away from the horizontal output pipe 75.

[0019] Specifically, a cooling tube 7 is provided at the rear end of each main terminal 8. The internal pipelines of the two cooling tubes 7 are not connected. The cooling tubes 7 cool the main terminals 8 one-to-one, which makes the cooling efficiency higher. A temperature sensor is provided between the rear end of the main terminal 8 and the cooling tube 7. According to the temperature feedback, the flow rate of the coolant inside the cooling tube 7 can be changed to improve the efficiency of heat exchange.

[0020] like Figure 2 The lower rear end opening of the main housing 71 is threadedly connected to one end of a sleeve 72, an input pipe 73 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the sleeve 72, and a cover pipe 74 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the input pipe 73 near the main housing 71. This facilitates disassembly and connection and ensures a good sealing effect.

[0021] The outer circumference of the connection end of the output pipe 75 is provided with an adapter 76, which is threadedly connected to the corresponding opening of the main housing 71. The connection method is simple and occupies a small volume.

[0022] The opening of the heat-conducting tube 78 extends to the junction of the upper sidewall near the input end and the vertical sidewall on the output end of the inner cavity of the main housing 71. The heat-conducting tube 78 is made of a metal material with high thermal conductivity. The extended opening increases the contact area of ​​the coolant. The narrow passage between the upper opening of the heat-conducting tube 78 and the inner wall of the cooling tube 7 increases the coolant pressure, stabilizing the coolant flow.

[0023] In addition, a waterproof ring 9 is provided at the installation point between the plug 12 and the gun housing 6. A circuit board 4 connected to the internal terminal is provided on the top of the gun housing 6. The top of the circuit board 4 is covered with a waterproof sticker 5. The rear part of the gun housing 6 is a handle 3. The rear end of the handle 3 is a cable 1, and a cable pressure block 2 is provided on the cable 1.

[0024] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-4, when using this charging gun, plug the connector at the other end of cable 1 into the charging pile, hold the handle 3, and insert the plug 12 into the charging port of the electric vehicle. The temperature sensor 79 detects the temperature of the main terminal 8, and the coolant power device connected to the cooling pipe 7 adjusts the speed. The coolant inside the cooling pipe 7 flows to cool the main terminal 8.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, as well as some embodiments of its application, and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
