Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible connection technology, specifically a copper strip flexible connection for a charging pile. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, charging piles, as an important supporting facility for electric vehicles, are receiving increasing attention for their performance and reliability. Inside the charging pile, flexible connections used to connect different components play a crucial role. In particular, copper strip flexible connections in charging piles are widely used due to their excellent conductivity and mechanical flexibility. However, in practical use, traditional copper strip flexible connections in charging piles have some significant problems.
[0003] Traditional charging pile copper strip flexible connections typically consist of a copper strip body, fixed sections at both ends of the copper strip body, and insulating sealing sleeves fitted onto the copper strip body. While this structure can meet the basic requirements for current transmission to some extent, its protective measures are still insufficient. Specifically, the assembly between the insulating sealing sleeve and the copper strip body often leaves a certain gap, failing to achieve a good seal. These gaps provide pathways for dust, moisture, and other impurities from the external environment to enter. Especially for charging piles used outdoors or in harsh environments, this design flaw can lead to serious consequences, such as poor electrical contact and accelerated corrosion, thereby affecting the overall performance and lifespan of the charging pile.
[0004] Based on the above background, this patent proposes an improved copper strip flexible connection for charging piles. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides a copper strip flexible connection for charging piles.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a copper strip flexible connector for a charging pile, including a copper strip body, fixed sections located at both ends of the copper strip body, and an insulating sealing sleeve fitted on the copper strip body, and also includes an elastic cable tie. A sealing step one is provided on one end of the copper strip body near the fixed section, and a sealing step two is provided on the inner wall of the insulating sealing sleeve. After the insulating sealing sleeve is fitted onto the copper strip body, the sealing step one and the sealing step two are fitted together, and cable tie grooves for binding the elastic cable tie are provided at both ends of the insulating sealing sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, a ring of fitting groove is provided on one side surface of the sealing step one, and a fitting step is provided on the sealing step two to fit into the aforementioned fitting groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing section is provided with several stress relief grooves at intervals on one end of the copper strip body.
[0009] Further, the length of the stress release groove is 1 / 3-12 of the length of the fixed section.
[0010] Further, the width of the stress release groove is 2-5mm.
[0011] Further, the first and second waist-shaped holes are arranged on the fixed section and are communicated through the slot.
[0012] Further, the outer wall of the copper belt body is provided with heat dissipation ribs at intervals.
[0013] The utility model discloses the beneficial effect is:
[0014] 1. Improve the seal of copper belt body and insulation seal sleeve: the copper belt flexible connection of the application sets a circle of sealing step one on the one end of copper belt body close to the fixed section, and sets a circle of sealing step two on the inner wall of insulation seal sleeve, when the insulation seal sleeve is sleeved on the copper belt body, sealing step one and sealing step two are arranged in close contact, can effectively block the gap between copper belt body and insulation seal sleeve, greatly reduce the possibility of dust, water and other impurities from both ends. Compared with the situation that impurities easily enter due to the existence of gap in the prior art, the sealing performance of the copper belt flexible connection is significantly improved, and the copper belt body inside is better protected.
[0015] 2. Enhance the connection stability: the elastic band groove for bundling the elastic band is arranged at both ends of the insulation seal sleeve, and the both ends are bundled tightly by using the elastic band, which further enhances the connection tightness between the insulation seal sleeve and the copper belt body. This structure design not only can ensure that the sealing step one and the sealing step two always maintain good contact state, maintain the sealing effect, but also can prevent the insulation seal sleeve from displacement or loosening in use to some extent, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the copper belt flexible connection, and enabling it to operate more stably in the process of power transmission.
[0016] 3. Improve the conductivity and service life: since the entry of dust, water and other impurities is effectively prevented, the influence of dust accumulation on the surface of copper belt on the conductivity is avoided, and the problems of oxidation and corrosion of copper belt caused by water are avoided, thereby ensuring the good conductivity of the copper belt body, improving the efficiency and stability of power transmission. At the same time, the damage of copper belt caused by impurity erosion is reduced, the service life of copper belt flexible connection is prolonged, the maintenance cost and replacement frequency of equipment are reduced, which is of great significance to the long-term stable operation of power system and other related equipment.
[0017] In addition to the purposes, features and advantages described above, the utility model has other purposes, features and advantages. The utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0026] This utility model provides a copper strip flexible connection for a charging pile.
[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-5The copper strip flexible connector of the charging pile includes a copper strip body 1, fixed sections 2 located at both ends of the copper strip body 1, and an insulating sealing sleeve 3 fitted on the copper strip body. It also includes an elastic cable tie 4. A sealing step 5 is provided on one end of the copper strip body near the fixed section. A sealing step 6 is provided on the inner wall of the insulating sealing sleeve. After the insulating sealing sleeve is fitted on the copper strip body, the sealing step 5 and the sealing step 6 are fitted together. Cable tie grooves 7 for binding the elastic cable tie are provided on both ends of the insulating sealing sleeve.
[0028] In the above technical solution, by setting elastic cable ties and providing a sealing step one on the copper strip body and a sealing step two on the inner wall of the insulating sealing sleeve, the sealing step one and sealing step two fit snugly after the insulating sealing sleeve is fitted onto the copper strip body. Cable tie grooves are provided at both ends of the insulating sealing sleeve for securing the elastic cable ties. This structural design effectively prevents dust, water, and other impurities from entering through the connection between the insulating sealing sleeve and the copper strip body, improving the sealing performance of the copper strip flexible connection, protecting the copper strip body from external impurities, and ensuring its good conductivity. Furthermore, the elastic cable ties further enhance the connection stability between the insulating sealing sleeve and the copper strip body, preventing displacement or loosening of the insulating sealing sleeve during use, ensuring the overall reliability of the copper strip flexible connection structure, extending its service life, and improving the stability and safety of the charging pile during operation.
[0029] Specifically, a ring of fitting groove 8 is provided on one side surface of the sealing step one, and a fitting step 9 is provided on the sealing step two to fit into the fitting groove.
[0030] In this embodiment, a fitting groove is provided on one side surface of the sealing step one, and a fitting step is provided on the sealing step two to fit into the fitting groove. This fitting structure further enhances the tightness of the fit between the sealing step one and the sealing step two, resulting in a superior sealing effect. Through the cooperation of the fitting groove and the fitting step, the entry of impurities such as dust and water can be better prevented, further protecting the copper strip body.
[0031] Specifically, the fixing section is provided with several stress relief grooves 10 at intervals on one end of the copper strip body.
[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of stress relief grooves are provided at intervals on one end of the fixed section located on the copper strip body. The stress relief grooves can effectively release the stress generated by external forces such as tension, compression or vibration during the use of the copper strip flexible connector, and avoid stress concentration in a certain part of the copper strip. This can prevent the copper strip from deforming, breaking or other damage due to stress concentration, improve the fatigue resistance and mechanical strength of the copper strip flexible connector, and extend its service life.
[0033] Specifically, the length of the stress relief groove is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the length of the fixed section.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length of the stress relief groove is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the length of the fixed section. Limiting the length of the stress relief groove within this range ensures effective stress relief while avoiding weakening the mechanical strength of the fixed section due to an excessively long groove. A suitable length allows stress to be reasonably distributed across the fixed section, satisfying the stress relief requirements while ensuring the fixed section has sufficient strength to withstand external forces and maintain the overall structural stability of the copper strip flexible connection.
[0035] Specifically, the width of the stress relief groove is 2-5mm.
[0036] In this embodiment, the width of the stress relief groove is 2-5mm. Limiting the width of the stress relief groove to this reasonable range of 2-5mm ensures that the stress relief groove has sufficient space to accommodate and disperse stress, effectively achieving the function of stress relief.
[0037] Specifically, the fixed section is provided with a first waist-shaped hole 11 and a second waist-shaped hole 12, and the first waist-shaped hole 11 and the second waist-shaped hole 12 are connected by a slot 13.
[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing holes on the fixing section are two interconnected first oblong holes and second oblong holes, which can adaptively adjust the fixing position.
[0039] Specifically, heat dissipation protrusions 14 are provided at intervals on the outer wall of the copper strip body.
[0040] In this embodiment, heat dissipation protrusions are spaced apart on the outer wall of the copper strip body. The heat dissipation protrusions increase the heat dissipation surface area of the copper strip body, which can accelerate the dissipation rate of heat generated by the copper strip during operation.
[0041] Attention all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
