[0021] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in the specification. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used in the specification have the same meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs. The technical and scientific terms used in the specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0023] An embodiment of the electric connection for a new energy vehicle of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 The connector body 1 has an insertion end 2, and the other end is provided for cable insertion connection. The insertion end is provided with a jack 10, and the insertion end is used to cooperate with the charging jack on the new energy vehicle. The charging jack is provided with a pin that cooperates with the jack. The connector body is hinged to a rain shield 3 through a hinge shaft 9, and the hinge shaft is provided with a torsional spring. The rain shield, as shown in Figure 4 and 5 includes a shielding portion 11 for closing the port of the insertion end, further includes a wing plate portion 12 located on both sides of the shielding portion, and further includes a hinge portion 13 hinged to the hinge shaft. The rain shield has a shielding position (as shown in Figure 1 ) that is rotated to close the port of the insertion end, and a charging position (as shown in Figure 2 ) that is rotated to leave the insertion end and contact the vehicle body to allow the insertion end to be inserted into the charging port of the vehicle body. The rain shield in the charging position is located above the insertion end and can shield rainwater. The rain shield can close the insertion end under the action of the torsional spring, and after the hinge shaft is lifted under the action of external force, the plate edge of the rain shield can be in contact with the new energy vehicle.

[0024] A soft edge 4 is provided on the plate edge of the rain shield 3 away from the hinge end, which is used to fit on the vehicle body to prevent rainwater on the vehicle body from flowing into the insertion end of the electric connector. Moreover, the soft edge can also protect the vehicle body to avoid scratching the vehicle paint. In the present embodiment, "soft" does not refer to soft cloth or the like, but refers to a material that has a certain softness and can be fitted on the vehicle body and can shield rain. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the edge 4 is made of silicone material. Since the edge is a consumable product, a pressing plate 5 for fixing the edge is provided on the rain shield. The pressing plate 5 is fixed to the rain shield by screws 6, and the screws 6 are made of plastic to avoid rusting or easily cutting the edge under stress when metal screws are used.

[0025] The connector body 1 is provided with a ring-shaped rain shield 7 at the rear of the insertion end 2 to prevent rainwater from flowing from the cable to the insertion end. The rear side of the ring-shaped rain shield is provided with drainage grooves 8. In this embodiment, the number of drainage grooves is multiple and the length of each drainage groove extends in the radial direction of the connector body, that is, the multiple drainage grooves are arranged in a planar radial manner. The purpose of providing the ring-shaped rain shield is that due to the parking position and the position or height of the charging socket of the new energy vehicle, the extension length and position of the charging pile cable are different, and rainwater will flow down along the cable. In this embodiment, the rainwater is blocked by the ring-shaped rain shield when flowing along the cable and flows out along the drainage grooves.

[0026] In use, first lift the rain shield with hand to clear the insertion end, insert the insertion end into the charging port of the new energy vehicle, at this time the rain shield will be placed on the new energy vehicle under the action of the torsional spring, at this time the rain shield is above the charging position and can block rainwater from entering the charging position. After charging is completed, pull out the insertion end, under the action of the torsional spring, the rain shield directly seals the insertion end, which not only prevents rainwater from entering, but also prevents dust from entering, so as to avoid that rainwater or dust enters the jack of the insertion end to affect the charging effect.
