Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging equipment technology, and in particular to a charging gun socket. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the safety and stability of charging gun sockets, as a key component for electric vehicle charging, are receiving growing attention. Currently, charging gun sockets on the market are typically equipped with temperature sensors to monitor the operating temperature of the connection terminals within the socket, ensuring a safe charging process.

[0003] However, in existing charging gun sockets, the temperature sensor is usually directly mounted on the outer casing, which means that the temperature sensor cannot directly contact the connection terminal during detection. This greatly reduces the accuracy of the detected values, making it impossible for operators to detect potential overheating risks in a timely manner. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] See Figure 1-2 As shown, a charging gun socket includes a housing 1, a cavity 2 formed in the housing 1, a connection terminal 3 inserted into the cavity 2, and a temperature sensor 4, which is attached to the side wall of the connection terminal 3. The connection terminal 3 is a DC terminal with a terminal power cable 16 connected to its rear end. The temperature sensor 4 is bound to the connection terminal 3 with high-temperature tape, allowing it to directly contact the side wall of the connection terminal 3 during temperature detection.

[0031] In this way, during the charging process of the charging gun socket, the temperature sensor 4 can directly detect the temperature of the connection terminal 3, which greatly improves the accuracy of temperature detection and effectively prevents the connection terminal 3 from overheating, thus improving the safety of the charging process.

[0032] Combination Figure 2As shown, the connecting terminal 3 has a crimping portion 31, which can reflect the heating temperature of the connecting terminal 3 to the maximum extent when the connecting terminal 3 heats up. A mounting groove 5 is formed on the crimping portion 31, and the temperature sensor 4 is housed in the mounting groove 5. The mounting groove 5 is circumferentially formed on the periphery of the crimping portion 31, and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 5 includes multiple mounting planes 51 arranged circumferentially around the connecting terminal 3. The temperature sensor 4 is mounted on one of these mounting planes 51. The temperature sensor 4 can be positioned on the mounting plane 51 and abut against the crimping portion 31 of the connecting terminal 3, further improving the accuracy of temperature detection.

[0033] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rear cover 6 is fitted onto the crimping part 31, and the rear cover 6 is aligned with the insertion cavity 2. The temperature sensor 4 is housed between the rear cover 6 and the mounting groove 5. A first cable outlet 7 is provided at the end of the rear cover 6 away from the insertion cavity 2. A sensor cable 8 is connected to the temperature sensor 4 and passes through the first cable outlet 7. The rear cover 6 can limit the temperature sensor 4 to prevent it from falling off the crimping part 31, while the first cable outlet 7 facilitates the sensor cable 8 to pass through the rear cover 6 and connect to the power supply.

[0034] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, a cable sealing plug 9 is also fitted onto the connecting terminal 3. The cable sealing plug 9 presses against the end of the rear cover 6 away from the insertion cavity 2. The cable sealing plug 9 has a second outlet 10 that communicates with the first outlet 7. The sensor cable 8 passes through the second outlet 10. A sealing plate 11 is also connected inside the second outlet 10. The sensor cable 8 passes through the sealing plate 11 and is press-fitted with the sealing plate 11. The cable sealing plug 9 and the sealing plate 10 are integrally molded from rubber material. The cooperation between the two can effectively improve the sealing performance of the mounting groove 5 and prevent the temperature sensor 4 from reducing its temperature detection accuracy due to the influence of the external environment.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sealing and fixing cover 12 is also fitted onto the connecting terminal 3. The sealing and fixing cover 12 covers the end of the rear cover 6 away from the insertion cavity 2. The cable sealing plug 9 is housed in the sealing and fixing cover 12. The end of the connecting terminal 3 away from the crimping part 31 passes through the sealing and fixing cover 12. The sealing and fixing cover 12 has a third cable outlet 13 that communicates with the second cable outlet 10. The rear cover 6 is provided with a locking block 14, and the sealing and fixing cover 12 is provided with a locking groove 15. The sealing and fixing cover 12 and the rear cover 6 are engaged with each other by the locking block 14 and the locking groove 15, which can prevent the cable sealing plug 9 from detaching from the rear cover 6 and further improve the sealing performance of the mounting groove 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the insertion cavity 2 includes two cavities 21 arranged side by side. Each cavity 21 is provided with a connecting terminal 3. Each connecting terminal 3 has a temperature sensor 4 attached to its side wall. The two crimping parts 31 constituting the two connecting terminals 3 and the two temperature sensors 4 are all housed in the rear cover 6.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
