The method of discharging the battery is to connect by coupling a set of sockets arranged at the motorcycle battery end and a set of plugs arranged at the wire harness assembly end, and to power the motorcycle. Therefore, a plurality of pins need to be arranged inside the plug to communicate with the cable, or the battery, or the charger, or the motorcycle, or to perform potential clamping or interlocking, to provide charging or discharging status to the connected device, thereby ensuring safety and reliability.

[0003] Currently, the pins or spring terminals arranged are connected to the cable by welding or crimping. When connected by welding, the high temperature of the soldering iron easily melts the fastening device of the plastic shell, causing positional deviation, resulting in uncontrolled plug-in force and poor contact, and low welding efficiency. When connected by crimping, due to the spacing and space limitations between terminals, direct crimping is not possible, and the pin with a rivet foot needs to be crimped to the cable before being manually inserted and assembled, which can easily cause the pin to fall off or retreat, and the consistency of the product assembly is not easy to guarantee, and the assembly efficiency is low. Therefore, the utility model provides a connecting device for the internal terminal and cable of the charging and discharging plug or socket for electric vehicles to meet the needs. SUMMARY

[0031] In Example 1, as Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, with a cable 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the housing 1; a connecting assembly for connecting the cable 2 to the housing 1, and the connecting assembly is connected to both the housing 1 and the cable 2; the housing 1 and the cable 2 are fixed together by the connecting assembly, which includes a plurality of pins 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the housing 1, each pin 3 being inserted into a cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301, the outer wall of which has a first spacing groove 303, one end of which is fixedly connected to a first guide portion 302, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a first connecting plate 304, one end of which is fixedly connected to a first crimping portion 305. Specifically, the electrical... One end of cable 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of housing 1 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes several pins 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of housing 1. The pins 3 are cylindrical, made of metal, and conductive. The outer wall of the pins 3 is inserted into the inner wall of a cylindrical sleeve terminal 301. The cylindrical sleeve terminal 301 is a hollow cylinder made of metal. A first spacing groove 303 is formed on the outer wall of the cylindrical sleeve terminal 301, penetrating both ends of the cylindrical sleeve terminal 301. The guide portion is flared, with the smaller diameter end of the guide portion fixedly connected to one end of the cylindrical sleeve terminal 301. The first spacing groove 303 also penetrates the guide portion. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the cylindrical sleeve terminal 301. At the other end, the other end of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first crimping part 305. The first crimping part 305 is U-shaped and is crimped onto one end of the cable 2. When the operator needs to assemble this device, one end of the cable 2 needs to be crimped onto the first crimping part 305 by the machine. Under the pressure of the machine, the two ends of the U-shaped first crimping part 305 will deform inward, becoming an "8" shape that completely secures the two wires in the cable 2. At this time, the first crimping part 305 and one end of the cable 2 will be connected together. Then, the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 of the crimped cable 2 is inserted into the corresponding coupling end of the pin 3. The cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 has an outwardly chamfered guide portion, through... The guide section facilitates quick and easy manual insertion of the cylindrical pin terminal 301 into the corresponding coupling end of the pin 3. When the cylindrical pin terminal 301 is inserted into the pin 3 through the first guide section 302, its diameter is smaller than that of the pin 3. Under tension, the outer wall of the cylindrical pin terminal 301 deforms, expanding the diameter of the cylindrical pin. After the cylindrical pin terminal 301 is fully inserted into the pin, the spring action provided by the deformation of the cylindrical pin terminal 301 makes the inner wall of the cylindrical pin terminal 301 fit more closely with the outer wall of the pin 3, thus making the connection between the two more reliable. The above structure makes the assembly process faster and more convenient for workers, improves production efficiency, and ensures the yield rate of products.

[0032] In Example 2, asFigure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, components identical or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are represented by reference numerals corresponding to those in Embodiment 1. A plurality of springs 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the housing 1. Bullet-shaped pin terminals 401 are sleeved on the springs 4. A second spacer groove 403 is formed on the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401. A second guide portion 402 is fixedly connected to one end of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401, and a second connecting plate 404 is fixedly connected to the other end of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401. A second crimping portion 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting plate 404. Specifically, a plurality of springs 4 are fixedly connected to one end of the housing 1. On the outer wall, the inner wall of the spring 4 is fitted onto the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401. The bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 is hollow bullet-shaped and made of metal. A second spacer groove 403 penetrating both ends is formed on the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401. The outer wall of the larger diameter end of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 404. The second crimping part 405 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the second connecting plate 404. The second crimping part 405 is U-shaped and is crimped onto one end of the cable 2. During assembly, the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 and the cable 2 need to be connected first. One end is crimped by a machine. Under the pressure of the machine, the first crimping part 305, shaped like a "U", deforms inward at both ends, becoming an "8" shape that completely secures the two wires in the cable 2. At this time, the first crimping part 305 is connected to one end of the cable 2. Then, the crimped bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 is inserted into the corresponding coupling hole of the spring 4. The bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 has a second guide part 402 with an inward chamfer. The second guide part 402 facilitates and allows for quick and easy manual insertion of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 into the corresponding coupling hole of the spring 4. When the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 passes through the second guide part 402... During the insertion of the guide part 402 into the spring 4, its diameter is larger than that of the spring 4. Under the action of the extrusion force, the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 will deform. After being fully inserted, under the tension provided by the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401, the inner wall of the spring 4 and the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 are tightly fitted together, making the connection between the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 and the spring 4 reliable. The above structural design not only allows the workers to fix the cable 2 to the outer wall of the housing 1 more quickly during the assembly process, but also eliminates the need to worry about damage to the housing 1 caused by welding or crimping, thus affecting the product yield.

[0033] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: In use, when several pins 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1, one end of the cable 2 needs to be crimped onto the first crimping part 305 by a machine. The "U"-shaped first crimping part 305 will deform inwards at both ends under machine pressure, pressing and fixing one end of the cable 2 onto the inner wall of the first crimping part 305. Then, the cylindrical sleeve terminal 301, with the crimped cable 2 inserted, is fitted into the corresponding coupling end of the pin 3. 301 has an outwardly chamfered guide portion, which facilitates quick and easy manual insertion of the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 into the corresponding coupling end of the insert pin 3. When the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 is inserted into the spring 4 pin via the first guide portion 302, its diameter is smaller than that of the insert pin 3. Under tension, the outer wall of the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 deforms, expanding the diameter of the cylindrical pin. After the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 is fully inserted into the spring 4 pin, the springback provided by the deformation of the cylindrical sleeve pin terminal 301 causes the cylindrical sleeve... The inner wall of the pin terminal 301 fits more closely to the outer wall of the pin 3, making the connection between them more reliable. When several springs 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1, the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 needs to be crimped to one end of the cable 2 by a machine first, and then the crimped bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 is inserted into the corresponding coupling hole of the spring 4. The bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 has an inwardly chamfered second guide portion 402, which facilitates and allows for quick and easy connection of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401. 1. Manually insert the bullet-shaped pin terminal 4 into the corresponding coupling hole. When the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 is inserted into the pin 4 through the second guide part 402, its diameter is larger than that of the pin 4. Under the action of the squeezing force, the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 will deform. After being fully inserted, under the tension provided by the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401, the inner wall of the pin 4 and the outer wall of the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 are tightly fitted together, making the connection between the bullet-shaped pin terminal 401 and the pin 4 more reliable.

To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
