Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power sockets, and more particularly to a rainproof automobile power socket. Background Art
[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. The characteristic of these vehicles is that their power sources are significantly different from those of traditional gasoline and diesel engine vehicles.
[0003] Traditional fuel vehicles produce a large amount of exhaust emissions during driving, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, etc., which cause serious pollution to air quality. New energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, produce almost no exhaust emissions during driving, which can significantly reduce air pollution and improve environmental quality. The new energy vehicle charging socket is an important component connecting new energy vehicles with charging stations or charging piles. It allows electric vehicles to obtain electricity from the power grid or other energy storage devices to replenish or fill their on-board batteries.
[0004] At present, since charging piles are usually set up in open-air areas that are convenient for parking and charging vehicles, the outdoor rainfall environment will affect the power socket when charging new energy vehicles. Although the charging sockets of current new energy vehicles usually have a high waterproof level, external rainfall will also corrode the waterproof layer of the socket, resulting in a reduction in the service life of the power socket, so it needs to be improved and optimized. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a rainproof car power socket, which has the advantage of good rainproof effect.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] 1. The utility model rotates the cover to shield the charging head from rain, and after rotating to the corresponding position, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring will drive the fixed head to reset.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the utility model provides a rainproof car power socket, including a mounting plate 1, a socket housing 2 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the mounting plate 1, a charging head 3 is fixedly mounted inside the socket housing 2, a rotating rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the upper front side of the socket housing 2, and a cover plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 5;
[0029] Rotating plates 6 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the socket housing 2. Both sets of rotating plates 6 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5. A second fixing hole 8 is fixedly opened on the left side wall of the socket housing 2. Three sets of fixing holes 7 are opened on the outer wall of the rotating plate 6. Control blocks 9 are fixedly mounted on the left and right outer walls of the socket housing 2. A fixed head 10 is movably mounted inside the control block 9. The fixed head 10 and the inner wall of the control block 9 are elastically connected by a return spring 11.
[0030] A sleeve 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the left control block 9, one end of the left control block 9 is movably connected to the connecting rod 12, one end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed head 10, the other end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 13, and the clamping plate 13 is fixedly connected to the control knob 14.
[0031] When the user needs to use the car power socket, the user first installs the mounting plate 1 with the bolts, and then pulls the cover plate 4 upwards. At this time, the cover plate 4 will rotate through the rotating rod 5. When the rotating rod 5 rotates, the rotating plate 6 rotates synchronously. When the rotating plate 6 rotates, the outer wall of the fixing hole 7 will conflict with the dome surface of the fixing head 10, further causing the fixing head 10 to be accommodated inside the control block 9. At this time, the return spring 11 is squeezed, and the user can now rotate the cover plate 4 90° or 180°. When rotating 90°, the cover plate 4 is in rainproof mode, and when rotating 180°, the cover plate 4 is completely opened, and after rotating to the corresponding position, the elastic potential energy of the return spring 11 will drive the fixing head 10 to reset. The fixing head 10 is made to enter the interior of the fixing hole 7. At this time, the position of the cover plate 4 is preliminarily fixed. When rainproof operation is required, the user opens the cover plate 4 to 90°, so that the cover plate 4 and the socket shell 2 are perpendicular, and the user presses the control knob 14 inward to make the card plate 13 enter the interior of the sleeve 15, and then rotates the control knob 14 to make the card plate 13 rotate inside the sleeve 15. At this time, the protrusion 16 is engaged in the slot 17, and after the user releases the control knob 14, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 11 will increase the friction between the protrusion 16 and the slot 17, and the fixing head 10 will enter the interior of the fixing hole 2 8, stopping the rotation of the rotating plate 6, so that the cover plate 4 can perform rainproof operations for a long time.
[0032] By rotating the cover 4, the cover 4 can shield the charging head 3 from rain, and after rotating to the corresponding position, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 11 will drive the fixed head 10 to reset. At this time, the position of the cover 4 is preliminarily fixed, and the protrusion 16 is engaged in the slot 17 by pressing and rotating the control knob 14. Compared with the traditional device, the device controls the opening range of the cover 4 so that the cover 4 can be fixed when it is perpendicular to the socket shell 2, so that the cover 4 can shield the charging head 3 from rain for a long time, effectively avoiding a large amount of rainwater from falling directly on the charging head 3, preventing rainwater short circuit, and also reducing rainwater erosion and improving service life.
[0033] The left and right sides of the top of the socket housing 2 are both provided with drainage grooves 23, and the rear sides of the two sets of drainage grooves 23 are both provided with drainage ports 18;
[0034] Side drip plates 19 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the cover plate 4 , and a front drip plate 20 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the cover plate 4 .
[0035] When the cover 4 is performing rainproof operation, the cover 4 and the socket housing 2 are perpendicular, and when rainwater falls on the top of the cover 4, it will be discharged through the side drip plates 19 at the left and right ends of the cover 4 and the front drip plate 20 on the front side to prevent rainwater from falling into the charging head 3. At the same time, the rainwater will pass through the rear side of the cover 4 and be discharged to the inside of the drainage groove 23, and be discharged through the drainage port 18. After the charging position is completed, the user closes the cover 4. At this time, the magnetic block 1 21 and the magnetic block 2 22 are aligned with each other, and the magnetic block 1 21 and the magnetic block 2 22 are magnetically connected to fix the cover 4.
[0036] The rainwater on the top of the cover plate 4 is drained through the side drip plates 19 at the left and right ends of the cover plate 4 and the front drip plate 20 on the front side. The rainwater on the rear of the cover plate 4 is drained from the drain port 18 through the setting of the drainage groove 23. Compared with the traditional device, when the device is performing rainproof operation, rainwater will not accumulate on the top of the cover plate 4. At the same time, rainwater on the top of the socket housing 2 will also be drained from the drain port 18, thereby improving the rainproof effect and avoiding water stains.
[0037] The top of the cover plate 4 is arc-shaped to prevent rainwater from accumulating.
[0038] Among them, protrusions 16 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the clamping plate 13, and a clamping groove 17 is opened inside the sleeve 15.
[0039] The user presses the control knob 14 inward to make the clamping plate 13 enter the sleeve 15 , and then rotates the control knob 14 to make the clamping plate 13 rotate inside the sleeve 15 . At this time, the protrusion 16 is clamped in the clamping groove 17 .
[0040] Among them, magnetic blocks 1 21 are fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the front side of the cover plate 4, and magnetic blocks 2 22 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the socket shell 2, and magnetic blocks 1 21 and 22 are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0041] When the user closes the cover 4 , the first magnetic block 21 and the second magnetic block 22 are aligned with each other, and the first magnetic block 21 and the second magnetic block 22 are magnetically connected, so that the cover 4 is fixed.
[0042] One end of the fixing head 10 is dome-shaped, and the fixing head 10 is movably installed inside the fixing hole 1 7 .
[0043] When the rotating plate 6 rotates, the outer wall of the fixing hole 7 will come into contact with the dome surface of the fixing head 10 , further causing the fixing head 10 to be accommodated inside the control block 9 .
[0044] The three groups of fixing holes 7 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating plate 6 in a circle with the rotating rod 5 as the center, and the interval between each group of fixing holes 7 is 90 degrees.
[0045] The user can rotate the cover 4 90° or 180°. When rotated 90°, the cover 4 is in rainproof mode, and when rotated 180°, the cover 4 is fully opened.
[0046] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0047] When the user needs to use the car power socket, the user first installs the mounting plate 1 with the bolts, and then pulls the cover plate 4 upwards. At this time, the cover plate 4 will rotate through the rotating rod 5. When the rotating rod 5 rotates, the rotating plate 6 rotates synchronously. When the rotating plate 6 rotates, the outer wall of the fixing hole 7 will conflict with the dome surface of the fixing head 10, further causing the fixing head 10 to be accommodated inside the control block 9. At this time, the return spring 11 is squeezed, and the user can now rotate the cover plate 4 90° or 180°. When rotating 90°, the cover plate 4 is in rainproof mode, and when rotating 180°, the cover plate 4 is completely opened, and after rotating to the corresponding position, the elastic potential energy of the return spring 11 will drive the fixing head 10 to reset. The fixing head 10 is made to enter the interior of the fixing hole 7. At this time, the position of the cover plate 4 is preliminarily fixed. When rainproof operation is required, the user opens the cover plate 4 to 90°, so that the cover plate 4 and the socket shell 2 are perpendicular, and the user presses the control knob 14 inward to make the card plate 13 enter the interior of the sleeve 15, and then rotates the control knob 14 to make the card plate 13 rotate inside the sleeve 15. At this time, the protrusion 16 is engaged in the slot 17, and after the user releases the control knob 14, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 11 will increase the friction between the protrusion 16 and the slot 17, and the fixing head 10 will enter the interior of the fixing hole 2 8, stopping the rotation of the rotating plate 6, so that the cover plate 4 can perform rainproof operations for a long time.
[0048] When the cover 4 is performing rainproof operation, the cover 4 and the socket housing 2 are perpendicular, and when rainwater falls on the top of the cover 4, it will be discharged through the side drip plates 19 at the left and right ends of the cover 4 and the front drip plate 20 on the front side to prevent rainwater from falling into the charging head 3. At the same time, the rainwater will pass through the rear side of the cover 4 and be discharged to the inside of the drainage groove 23, and be discharged through the drainage port 18. After the charging position is completed, the user closes the cover 4. At this time, the magnetic block 1 21 and the magnetic block 2 22 are aligned with each other, and the magnetic block 1 21 and the magnetic block 2 22 are magnetically connected to fix the cover 4.
