[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a charging gun liquid cooling device, which includes a host end 1 and a cooling end 2. The liquid outlet of the host end 1 and the liquid inlet of the cooling end 2, as well as the liquid inlet of the host end 1 and the liquid outlet of the cooling end 2, are connected by pipes to form a cooling liquid circulation path;

[0030] The cooling end 2 includes a heat exchange coil 21, and the cables pass through the interior of the heat exchange coil 21. The liquid inlet and outlet ends of the heat exchange coil 21 are respectively equipped with a liquid injection pipe 22 and a liquid return pipe 23. The cooling end 2 is installed at the wire end of the charging gun, and the power wires pass through the interior of the heat exchange coil 21.

[0031] The main engine end 1 includes a machine chamber 11, and a liquid tank 16 is installed inside the machine chamber 11 through a pad, and a coolant is provided inside the liquid tank 16. A liquid pump 114 for pumping the coolant inside the liquid tank 16 is installed on one side of the machine chamber 11, and the liquid inlet end of the liquid pump 114 is connected to the liquid outlet end at the bottom of one side of the liquid tank 16. The liquid outlet end of the liquid pump 114 is installed with a liquid outlet pipe 112, and the liquid outlet end of the liquid outlet pipe 112 is installed through-and-through on one side of the machine chamber 11, and a return pipe 111 is installed at the liquid inlet end at the top of one side of the liquid tank 16, and the liquid outlet end of the return pipe 111 is installed through-and-through on one side of the machine chamber 11.

[0032] The cooling fluid flows in a swirl pattern inside the charging gun, exchanging heat with the inside of the charging gun, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation of the charging gun. At the same time, the setting of the heat exchange coil 21 expands the contact area with the wire to improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat exchange coil 21 on the charging gun.

[0033] A flow meter 113 is installed at the vertical pipe end of the liquid outlet pipe 112, and temperature sensors 110 are installed on both sides of the top of the liquid tank 16, and the temperature sensors 110 are non-contact temperature sensors.

[0034] Three filters 12 are embedded on the other side of the machine compartment 11. Three axial fans 17 are installed on the side of the machine compartment 11 close to the filter 12, and one axial fan 17 is installed opposite to one filter 12. A control panel 13 is installed on one side of the top of the machine compartment 11. The control panel 13 consists of a display and buttons.

[0035] During use, the coolant is pumped from the inside of the liquid tank 16 by the liquid pump 114 and transported to the inside of the liquid filling pipe 22 through the liquid outlet pipe 112. After the coolant passes through the inside of the heat exchange coil 21, it returns to the inside of the liquid tank 16 through the return pipe 23 and the reflux pipe 111. It flows in a swirling manner inside the charging gun through cooling, exchanges heat with the inside of the charging gun, and thus effectively dissipates heat for the charging gun. At the same time, the setting of the heat exchange coil 21 expands the contact area with the wire to improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat exchange coil 21 on the charging gun.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figure 1-6 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model, is different from the first embodiment in that:

[0038] A row of three heat dissipation components 19 are rotatably installed inside the liquid tank 16, and the driving end of the heat dissipation component 19 is located at the top of the liquid tank 16. At the same time, the driving ends of the two connected heat dissipation components 19 are engaged with each other. A driving motor 14 for driving a heat dissipation component 19 to rotate is installed on the top of the machine chamber 11, and the driving end of the driving motor 14 is connected to the driving end of the middle heat dissipation component 19.

[0039] An air guide bin 18 is welded to one side of the liquid tank 16 close to the axial fan 17, and the cross-section of the air guide bin 18 is trapezoidal. The setting of the air guide bin 18 guides the wind blowing toward it, so that the airflow blows to both sides of the liquid tank 16, thereby improving the effect of avoiding the liquid tank 16 from being blown and dissipated by the wind. The liquid tank 16 and the air guide bin 18 are both welded by aluminum alloy plates. The liquid tank 16 is made of aluminum alloy plates. The aluminum alloy absorbs the temperature in the coolant for heat exchange. The axial fan 17 pumps the external airflow into and blows it onto the liquid tank 16 inside the machine compartment 11 to dissipate heat from the liquid tank 16, thereby realizing heat exchange and cooling of the coolant.

[0040] The heat dissipation assembly 19 includes a heat-conducting shaft 191 rotatably mounted inside the liquid tank 16 via a bearing, and the top end of the heat-conducting shaft 191 is located above the top of the liquid tank 16. A gear 193 is sleeved on the top end of the heat-conducting shaft 191, and a row of heat-conducting fins 192 are sleeved on the outside of the heat-conducting shaft 191 and located inside the liquid tank 16. Under the meshing transmission action of the two connected gears 193, the three heat-conducting shafts 191 rotate simultaneously.

[0041] The heat conducting plate 192 is driven to rotate inside the liquid tank 16. As the heat conducting plate 192 continuously stirs the coolant, the coolant does not need to be shaken inside the liquid tank 16, which is beneficial to the dissipation of heat inside the coolant. In addition, during the shaking process, the coolant will contact the inner wall surface of the liquid tank 16, further exchanging heat and cooling the coolant, effectively improving the cooling effect of the coolant, thereby improving the coolant's own temperature will not rise excessively when the coolant is circulated for a long time, thereby ensuring the heat exchange and cooling effect of the coolant.

[0042] Handle frames 15 are installed on both sides of the top of the cabin 11.

[0043] During use, the liquid tank 16 is made of aluminum alloy plate, and the aluminum alloy absorbs the temperature in the coolant to exchange heat;

[0044] The driving motor 14 drives the central heat-conducting shaft 191 to rotate. Under the meshing transmission action of the two connected gears 193, the three heat-conducting shafts 191 rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the heat-conducting plate 192 to rotate inside the liquid tank 16. As the heat-conducting plate 192 continuously stirs the coolant, the coolant does not need to be shaken inside the liquid tank 16, which is conducive to the dissipation of heat inside the coolant.

[0045] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
