Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging bases for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a split-type liquid-cooled charging base for new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the government's policy support for new energy, new energy vehicles are developing rapidly. These vehicles require efficient, fast, and safe charging. To shorten charging time, existing fast charging technologies use high-power charging (such as fast DC charging). However, the connection between the charging gun and the charging socket's power terminals generates a significant amount of heat. This has several drawbacks: First, the resistance of the charging socket's DC terminals is directly proportional to temperature rise; continuous heating affects terminal performance and reduces charging speed. Second, the continuous temperature increase of electronic components may cause overheating and component failure, potentially even leading to combustion and posing a safety risk, impacting charging safety. Third, the continuous high temperature of electronic components within the charging socket causes frequent equipment shutdowns, hindering stable operation, resulting in low charging efficiency, and potentially affecting component lifespan in the long run.

[0031] The cooling module 03 includes a liquid cooling box 1 made of thermally conductive material and a thermally conductive pad 2. The axial positioning hole 100 of the liquid cooling box 1 surrounds and connects to the positioning platform 020. The liquid cooling box 1 is positioned in front of the adapter copper busbar 3 connecting the power cable 06. The two ends of the thermally conductive pad 2 are respectively attached to the box cover 11 and the adapter copper busbar 3 of the liquid cooling box 1.

The thermally conductive silicone pad 6 facilitates the connection between the two adapter copper busbars 3 and the cover plate 2, and at the same time, it has high thermal conductivity and can achieve good cooling function.

[0032] The set screw 05 passes through the end shaft hole of the power terminal 04 connected to the adapter copper busbar 3, and presses the liquid cooling box 1 forward to fix it against the back of the vertical plate 02;

[0033] The two inlet and outlet ports 12 of the liquid cooling box 1 are connected to the coolant circuit. The heat generated by the copper busbar 3 is conducted to the coolant in the liquid cooling box 1 through the thermal pad 2 and the box cover 11, thereby achieving heat dissipation.

[0034] This new energy vehicle split-type liquid-cooled charging base has an independent cooling module 03, which dissipates heat from the internal copper busbar 3 and its connections.

Second, the cooling module 3 is equipped with a liquid cooling box 1 made of thermally conductive material. The liquid cooling box is fixed inside the vertical plate 02. This structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, allowing for quick replacement of parts and convenient maintenance. Third, the liquid cooling box is positioned by the positioning platform 020 and axially fixed by the set screws 05.

The two axial positioning holes 100 respectively surround and fit two cylindrical positioning platforms 020. The circumferential contours of the box plate 11 and the heat sink 10 are the same.

[0041] The heat sink 10 is divided into left and right end cavities by an axial positioning hole 100 and connected by a central channel. The left and right end cavities of the heat sink 10 are respectively provided with a number of fins 103.

[0042] Two liquid inlet and outlet ports 12 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right end cavities, and the lower end of the fins 103 is inclined towards the liquid inlet and outlet ports 12. The beneficial effect is that this arrangement allows the coolant in the cooling channel 104 to flow fully around the power terminals, achieving rapid and efficient heat dissipation.

[0043] Furthermore, the inlet and outlet ports 12 are vertical pipes, and each inlet and outlet port 12 is threaded with a water nozzle 4. The water nozzle 4 is connected to the coolant circuit through a water pipe 5.
