Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging terminal technology, and mainly to a terminal structure for assembling a liquid cooling tube in a charging gun. Background Technology

Currently, liquid-cooled charging guns use clamps to connect the power terminal and the liquid-cooling tube, securing them together. However, using clamps limits internal assembly space and makes operation inconvenient; uneven clamp contraction can also cause the liquid-cooling tube to detach from the terminal.

[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 a terminal structure for assembling a liquid cooling tube 30 in a charging gun, including a connecting terminal 10, a plug end 11, and a connector end 13. The connecting terminal 10 is arranged horizontally, with the plug end 11 and connector end 13 located at the left and right ends of the connecting terminal 10 in the axial direction, respectively. It also includes a liquid cooling tube 30 and a positioning element. The liquid cooling tube 30 is inserted into the connecting terminal 10 through the connector end 13, and the positioning element is fitted onto the insertion end of the outer ring surface of the liquid cooling tube 30. The positioning element is used to fix the liquid cooling tube 30 onto the power terminal 20. Specifically, the connecting terminal 10 is cylindrical.

[0026] In this preferred embodiment, a three-way connector 12 is vertically arranged in the middle of the outer ring surface of the connecting terminal 10, and a power terminal 20 is inserted inside the connecting terminal 10. A series connector is arranged in the middle of the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20 at the three-way connector 12. The left end of the liquid cooling pipe 30 is sleeved on the right end of the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20.

[0027] This invention features a positioning element at the left end of the connection point on the outer circumference of the liquid cooling pipe 30, which secures the liquid cooling pipe 30 to the power terminal 20. The connection is stable and not easily detached, and assembly between the power terminal 20 and the liquid cooling pipe 30 is convenient. Coolant flows through the connection point of the tee connector 12 of the power terminal 20 without leakage; at least two power terminals 20 connected in series are cooled, preventing accelerated aging due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and extending service life.

[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the positioning element is a retaining ring 41. Several spring pieces 42 are arranged obliquely in a circumferential array on the left end face of the retaining ring 41, and the spring pieces 42 are inclined at 15-45 degrees toward the axis of the retaining ring 41.

[0029] Furthermore, the angle at which several reeds 42 are tilted toward the axis of the retaining ring 41 is 30 degrees.

[0030] The above positioning component uses a snap ring 41. The spring plate 42 of the snap ring 41 is inclined towards the axis of the snap ring 41, which can decompose the radial component force and clamp the liquid cooling tube 30 onto the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20. The snap ring 41 is also easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0031] In this preferred embodiment, an external thread 14 is provided on the right end of the outer ring surface of the connecting terminal 10, and a nut 44 is threadedly connected to the external thread 14 of the connecting terminal 10. The nut 44 is used to provide a fastening effect for the snap ring 41.

[0032] Furthermore, a sealing ring 43 is fitted on the outer ring surface of the liquid cooling pipe 30 and the left end of the retaining ring 41. The sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41 are both located on the radial inner side of the nut 44.

[0033] The liquid cooling tube 30 passes through the sealing ring 43 and is inserted into the terminal, providing excellent sealing performance. After the liquid cooling tube 30 is inserted into the tail end of the power terminal 20, the sealing performance is good and it is not easy to fall off. The positions of the sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41 correspond to the positions of the nut 44. Tightening the nut 44 can further compress the sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41. The entire assembly process is simple to operate, structurally stable, and quick and efficient.

[0034] In this preferred embodiment, an annular step is provided at the right end of the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20, and the left end of the liquid cooling pipe 30 is sleeved on the annular step of the power terminal 20.

[0035] Furthermore, a sealing ring 43 groove and a retaining ring 41 groove are sequentially provided on the annular step of the power terminal 20. The positions of the sealing ring 43 groove and the retaining ring 41 groove correspond to the positions of the sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41, respectively, to provide a snap-fit ​​positioning function during connection.

[0036] In this preferred embodiment, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 15 is radially provided on the left side of the outer ring surface of the connecting terminal 10, and the connecting terminal 10 is connected to the charging gun body through the snap-fit ​​protrusion 15; specifically, there are two snap-fit ​​protrusions 15, of which the right snap-fit ​​protrusion 15 is provided with a notch, which matches and connects with the charging gun body.

[0037] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] First, fit the sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41 onto the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20 body, inserting them from right to left until they are fully inserted. Then, fit the nut 44 onto the outer ring surface of the liquid cooling pipe 30 from left to right. Next, pass the liquid cooling pipe 30 through the retaining ring 41 and the sealing ring 43, and then insert it into the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20 body; insert it to the bottom of the annular step, so that the left part of the liquid cooling pipe 30 passes through the sealing ring 43 and the retaining ring 41. Finally, tighten the nut 44 onto the right end external thread 14 of the connecting terminal 10, so that the retaining ring 41 clamps the liquid cooling pipe 30, while preventing the retaining ring 41 from retracting and causing the liquid cooling pipe 30 to retract as well.

[0039] The sealing ring 43 and the snap ring 41 can be first fitted onto the outer ring surface of the power terminal 20, and the nut 44 can be temporarily fitted onto the outer ring surface of the liquid cooling pipe 30; then they can be connected and assembled, which is quicker and more convenient.
