[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 The figure shows an AC charging gun socket for new energy vehicles, including a socket body 10, which is used to fix and support the entire charging gun socket. The socket body 10 has a charging gun connection interface inside. It also includes a lock body and a latch 23. One end of the lock body is connected to the top outside of the socket body 10; the latch 23 is located at the bottom of the other end of the lock body, extending into the socket body 10, and its shape matches the charging gun's lock hole. A locking component and an unlocking component are vertically arranged on the upper part of the lock body. The locking component presses down on the other end of the lock body, causing the latch 23 to engage with the charging gun's lock hole. The unlocking component pulls up on the other end of the lock body, causing the latch 23 to disengage from the charging gun's lock hole. Specifically, a cylindrical groove is provided in the top center of the socket body 10, through which the latch 23 passes.
[0026] The locking component of this utility model presses down on the other end of the lock body, thereby causing the locking tongue 23 to engage with the charging gun lock hole for locking. The unlocking component pulls up on the other end of the lock body, thereby causing the locking tongue 23 to disengage from the charging gun lock hole and unlock. The overall structure of the European standard AC charging gun empty seat is simple, can be unlocked manually, is easy to maintain and has a low cost, improving user experience and product reliability.
[0027] In this preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the empty seat body 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11; the lock body includes a hinge pin 21 and a swing rod 22. The two ends of the hinge pin 21 are rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 11, and the swing rod 22 is fixed to the right end of the outer ring surface of the hinge pin 21; the top of the lock tongue 23 is fixed to the bottom of the right end of the swing rod 22.
[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the locking component includes a convex cylinder 31, a spring 32, and a concave groove 33. The top of the mounting groove 11 is covered with a top cover 12. The convex cylinder 31 is longitudinally arranged at the top right end of the rocker arm 22 of the lock body, and the concave groove 33 is longitudinally arranged at the top inner part of the top cover 12. The bottom of the spring 32 is engaged with the outer periphery of the convex cylinder 31, and the top of the spring 32 is engaged with the concave groove 33.
[0029] Specifically, the spring 32 provides the necessary elasticity and restoring force for the movement of the locking tongue 23; the top cover 12 is provided with four slots, and the empty seat body 10 is provided with four buckles at corresponding positions, and the buckles of the empty seat body 10 are engaged with the slots of the top cover 12.
[0030] On the right end of the above lock body lever 22, in the same vertical plane, spring 32 and lock tongue 23 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Even after moving up and down several times, it can still accurately align with the lock hole. The locking component is spring 32, which can automatically press down the right end of the lever 22 and insert the lock tongue 23 into the charging gun lock hole.
[0031] In this preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The unlocking component is a lever 41, and the longitudinal section of the lever 41 is L-shaped. The right end of the lever 41 is horizontally fixed to the middle of the left end of the hinge post 21 of the lock body.
[0032] Furthermore, the top cover 12 has a longitudinal through-hole 42 on the left side, and the top of the lever 41 extends upward out of the lever 42; the L-shaped angle of the lever 41 is greater than 90 degrees, and when the lever 41 is moved to the left, the right end of the swing arm 22 of the lock body swings upward.
[0033] Specifically, the L-shaped horizontal portions of the right-end lever 22 and the left-end actuating lever 41 of the lock body are located in the same horizontal plane; the actuating hole 42 is an oblong hole. The L-shaped angle of the actuating lever 41 is 105-120 degrees. Only by pushing the actuating lever 41 to the left can the downward vertical force be generated.
[0034] In another embodiment, the unlocking element is a longitudinally arranged linkage ring. The lower part of the linkage ring is fitted onto the right side of the rocker arm 22 of the lock body, and the upper part of the linkage ring extends out of the top cover 12. Specifically, the longitudinal section of the linkage ring is rectangular; pulling the top of the linkage ring upward compresses the spring 32, causing the latch 23 to disengage from the lock hole.
[0035] In this preferred embodiment, see Figure 1-3 The inner wall of the empty seat body 10 is coaxially provided with a protruding ring 13. The slot formed by the inner wall of the empty seat body 10 and the protruding ring 13 is matched with the charging connector of the European standard AC charging gun.
[0036] Furthermore, a mounting platform 14 is radially provided on the other side of the convex ring 13 of the empty seat body 10, and bolts 15 are respectively provided at the four corners of the mounting platform 14.
[0037] Furthermore, a waterproof pad 16 is provided on the right side of the mounting platform 14. The four corners of the waterproof pad 16 are screwed onto the bolts 15 with nuts and thus fixed to the mounting platform 14.
[0038] Specifically, the empty seat is fixed to the mounting frame of the charging station by bolts 15 at the four corners of the mounting platform 14; the waterproof pad 16 is located between the empty seat body 10 and the charging station, and has the effect of buffering and waterproofing.
[0039] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0040] When the user inserts the charging gun into the empty slot, the charging gun's locking hole corresponds to the locking tongue 23 on the locking block. As the charging gun is inserted deeper, the locking tongue 23 is pushed out, moving upwards along with the rocker arm 22, and the spring 32 is compressed. After the charging gun is fully inserted, the locking tongue 23 is completely aligned with the locking hole. Under the restoring force of the spring 32, the locking tongue 23 moves downwards to return to its original position, and the locking tongue 23 is inserted into the charging gun's locking hole, thus locking the charging gun.
[0041] When the user needs to remove the charging gun, first operate the unlocking handle at the top of the lever 41 on the lock body; move the handle at the top of the unlocking lever 41 to the left, with the hinge pin 21 as the pivot, drive the right end of the swing rod 22 to move upward, overcome the elastic force of the spring 32, move the bolt 23 upward, compress the spring 32, and separate the bolt 23 from the lock hole to achieve unlocking. At this time, the user can easily remove the charging gun.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
