Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of charging technology, and more specifically, to a liquid-cooled charging gun suitable for high-voltage and low-temperature environments. Background Art
[0002] As the share of new energy vehicles in the market continues to rise, high-power fast charging technology has gradually become a key means to solve the bottleneck of battery life. However, high-power charging can easily cause the charging cable and charging gun to heat up. Therefore, liquid-cooled charging guns have appeared on the market. Liquid cooling can cool the charging gun, solving the heat dissipation problem during high-current and high-voltage charging, and effectively alleviating the charging concerns of new energy vehicle users.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors found that the existing liquid-cooled charging gun mainly transports the coolant to the cooling chamber of the charging gun, and then circulates it back to complete liquid cooling. However, after the coolant has been used for a long time, impurities are likely to remain in the cooling chamber, and most coolant delivery pipelines are fixedly connected to the cooling chamber, which makes it inconvenient to clean the cooling chamber. Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure is studied and improved to provide a liquid-cooled charging gun suitable for high-pressure and low-temperature environments, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a liquid-cooled charging gun suitable for high-voltage and low-temperature environments. This solution can quickly connect and remove the coolant pipeline and the charging gun, facilitate the cleaning of the cooling chamber inside the charging gun, reduce the problem of poor coolant circulation caused by impurity accumulation, ensure the liquid cooling effect, and provide a sealing component to ensure the sealing of the delivery pipe when idle, prevent dust and impurities from entering the delivery pipe, and reduce the problem of coolant pollution.
[0006] 2. Technical solution
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.
[0008] A liquid-cooled charging gun suitable for use in high-voltage and low-temperature environments, comprising a gun head, a protective cover being clamped and provided on the outside of the bottom end of the gun head, a charging cable being provided through the middle of the protective cover, and a delivery tube being provided through both sides of the protective cover, two connectors being fixedly connected to the end surface of the bottom end of the gun head, one end of each connector being fixedly connected to an extrusion sleeve, one end of each delivery tube being provided with a threaded sleeve on the front side, and one end of each delivery tube being fixedly connected to a fixing ring on the outside, and a sealing mechanism being fixedly connected to the interior of the fixing ring;
[0009] The sealing mechanism includes four sliding blocks arranged in an annular array, the inner side of the sliding block is provided with a pressure groove, and the outer side of the sliding block is slidably connected to a pair of guide rods, and the outer side of the guide rod is sleeved with a reset spring.
[0010] Furthermore, a bolt is threadedly connected to the connection between the protective cover and the gun head, and the top end of the charging cable is fixedly connected to the gun head.
[0011] Furthermore, the two connectors are connected through each other, and the outer surface of the connector fits the inner surface of the delivery pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the threaded sleeve is movably connected to the outer side of the delivery pipe, and the other end of the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the connector.
[0013] Furthermore, the sides of two adjacent sliding blocks are in contact with each other, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the fixing ring.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0018] (1) This solution is to connect the delivery pipe to the connector by setting a connector and then move the threaded sleeve toward the connector and rotate the threaded sleeve to connect it with the connector thread to complete the connection and fixation of the delivery pipe and the connector. Conversely, the threaded sleeve can be rotated in the opposite direction to separate the connector from the delivery pipe. The cleaning liquid is injected into any connector, and the cleaning liquid passes through the cooling cavity and flows out from the other connector to complete the cleaning work. Compared with the existing technology, the coolant pipeline and the charging gun can be quickly connected and removed, which is convenient for cleaning the cooling cavity inside the charging gun, reducing the problem of poor coolant circulation caused by impurity accumulation, and ensuring the liquid cooling effect.
[0019] (2) By setting a sealing mechanism, when the extrusion sleeve enters the interior of the delivery pipe, it squeezes the pressure groove, causing the sliding block to slide outward, the four sliding blocks to separate, and the delivery pipe to be in a smooth state. When the extrusion sleeve moves from the interior of the delivery pipe, the sliding block is reset under the action of the reset spring, and the four sliding blocks fit together, so that the delivery pipe is in a sealed state. Compared with the existing technology, a sealing component is set to ensure the sealing of the delivery pipe in an idle state, prevent dust and impurities from entering the interior of the delivery pipe, and reduce the problem of coolant pollution.

[0030] See Figure 3 The two connectors 5 are connected through, and the outer surface of the connector 5 fits with the inner surface of the delivery tube 4. The two delivery tubes 4 are respectively connected to the two connectors 5, so that the extrusion sleeve 6 enters the interior of the delivery tube 4.
