[0053] In addition, as shown in Figures 1-5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the low-voltage connection assembly 30 comprises a first interlocking piece 31 and a second interlocking piece 32, the first interlocking piece 31 is arranged in the first mounting hole 11, and the second interlocking piece 32 is movable between a first position and a second position.

[0058] According to the connector assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the high-voltage connection assembly 20 is arranged in the second mounting hole 12 of the shell 10, the first interlocking member 31 is arranged in the first mounting hole 11 of the shell 10, when the high-voltage connection assembly 20 is connected with the terminal 200, the second interlocking member 32 is adapted to move from the first position to the second position to be connected with the first interlocking member 31, when the high-voltage connection assembly 20 is disconnected with the terminal 200, the high-voltage connection assembly 20 blocks the movement of the second interlocking member 32 to the second position, which can facilitate the judgment of whether the high-voltage connection assembly 20 is virtually connected with the terminal 200, and the risk of arc or electric shock caused by the false connection of the low-voltage connection assembly 30 due to the false connection of the high-voltage connection assembly 20 and the terminal 200 is avoided, so that the safety risk of live operation is avoided, and the connection detection of the high-voltage connection assembly 20 and the terminal 200 can be realized only through the low-voltage connection assembly 30, which is simple in structure and is conducive to reducing the production cost.

[0059] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the second interlocking member 32 is located at the second position, the second interlocking member 32 can block the movement of the high-voltage connection assembly 20 in the direction of being separated from the second mounting hole 12 (for example, the upward direction as shown in Figure 2 ), so that the installation of the high-voltage connection assembly 20 in the second mounting hole 12 is reliable, and the problems such as falling off are avoided, and the problems such as electric shock caused by the removal of the high-voltage connection assembly 20 from the second mounting hole 12 by the personnel during the working process are avoided, the risk of live operation of the personnel is effectively prevented, and the safety is ensured.

[0060] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the directions such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front" and "back" in the utility model are based on the direction relationship shown in the drawings, and are not limited to the direction in the actual application process.

[0062] When the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 is disconnected from the terminal 200 and the second interlocking part 32 is in the first position, the outer wall of the limiting part 326 can abut against the outer wall of the high-voltage connecting assembly 20, so that the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 blocks the movement of the second interlocking part 32 towards the second position, avoiding the connection of the first interlocking part 31 and the second interlocking part 32, meeting the required limiting requirement, and the structure of the second interlocking part 32 is simple, facilitating operation and reducing production cost. Figure 2 When the second interlocking part 32 is in the second position, the limiting part 326 can abut against the end (for example, the upper end as shown in the front view) of the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 away from the second mounting hole 12, so that the second interlocking part 32 blocks the movement of the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 towards the direction of disengaging from the second mounting hole 12, avoiding the disengagement of the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 from the second mounting hole 12 and causing safety problems, meeting the required limiting requirement, and the structure of the second interlocking part 32 is simple, facilitating operation and reducing production cost.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 2-5 , Figure 7 and Figure 13 , the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 comprises a connecting part 21, which is arranged in the second mounting hole 12, so that the connecting part 21 can be connected to the terminal 200 opposite to the second mounting hole 12, meeting the connection requirement of the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 and the terminal 200.

[0064] In addition, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 , the high-voltage connecting assembly 20 further comprises an elastic part 22, which is arranged on the connecting part 21, and the elastic part 22 can drive the connecting part 21 to move towards the direction of disengaging from the second mounting hole 12. When the connecting part 21 is disconnected from the terminal 200, as shown in Figure 2 , the connecting part 21 can be lifted by the driving action of the elastic part 22, and when the second interlocking part 32 is in the first position, the outer wall of the limiting part 326 can abut against the outer wall of the connecting part 21, so that the connecting part 21 can block the movement of the second interlocking part 32 towards the second position; when the connecting part 21 is connected to the terminal 200, as shown in Figure 3As shown, by moving the connecting piece 21 towards the second mounting hole 12 to be connected with the terminal 200, the elastic piece 22 can be compressed, so that the connecting piece 21 can be staggered with the limiting portion 326 in the height direction, the second interlocking piece 32 can be moved from the first position towards the second position, and the limiting portion 326 can abut against one end of the connecting piece 21 away from the second mounting hole 12, to ensure the reliable fixation of the connecting piece 21.

[0065] Therefore, the limiting of the second interlocking piece 32 can be realized by the height difference between the free state of the elastic piece 22 and the flattened state of the connecting piece 21, so as to facilitate the judgment of whether the connecting piece 21 is virtually connected with the terminal 200, to avoid the risk of arc or electric shock caused by the false connection of the low-voltage connecting assembly 30 due to the virtual connection of the connecting piece 21 and the terminal 200, and the position of the connecting piece 21 can be controlled by the elastic piece 22, so as to have a simple structure and reduce the production cost.

[0071] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 5 The high-voltage connecting assembly 20 further comprises a flat washer 23, which is sleeved on the connecting piece 21 and located between the terminal 200 and the elastic piece 22.

When the connecting piece 21 is arranged in the second mounting hole 12 and the connecting piece 21 is disconnected with the terminal 200, the first limiting protrusion 211 and the second limiting protrusion 121 cooperate to block the movement of the connecting piece 21 in the direction of separating from the second mounting hole 12, thereby realizing the pre-assembly function of the connecting piece 21, avoiding the disengagement of the connecting piece 21 from the second mounting hole 12, facilitating the subsequent connection of the connecting piece 21 with the terminal 200, and being beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.
