The upper connecting block 21 is provided with at least one angle adjustment through hole 22. The center distance between the angle adjustment through hole 22 and the vertical tube 20 is equal to the center distance between the threaded connecting hole 102 and the plug tube 100. The plug part 02 is sleeved on the front end of the high-voltage wire harness 03.

[0034] When the plug part 02 is inserted into the socket part 01, the vertical tube 20 is sleeved on the plug tube 100 and the upper connecting block 21 is attached to the screw hole block 101. The first threaded part 3 passes through the angle adjustment through hole 22 and connects to the threaded connecting hole 102, so that the plug part 02 can be detachably connected to the socket part 01 and the high voltage wire harness 03 can be adjusted at the outlet angle.

[0035] This type of adjustable-angle, detachable battery swapping connector features a socket housing 1 and a plug housing 2. The adjustable angle and threaded connection 102 of the screw block 101 enable the adjustment of the cable outlet angle and allow for detachable separation. Its advantages are: firstly, the connector utilizes a vertical tube 20 and a plug tube 100, combined with a threaded connection for a double-fixed structure, resulting in high connection tightness, high reliability, and good stability; secondly, the connector employs a combination of plug-in and threaded connections, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly, reducing assembly time, lowering costs, and simplifying manufacturing, while maintaining a stable connection. The connector has several advantages: 1) It maintains the original volume and dimensions of the connector; 2) It features an adjustable cable exit angle structure, allowing one product model to directly rotate the angle adjustment through-hole 22 and multiple threaded connection holes 102 to match different cable exit angles and adapt to various cable exit scenarios, significantly reducing the number of products and components, and effectively lowering management and material costs; 3) The connector's detachable and angle-adjustable structure offers strong versatility and facilitates after-sales maintenance.

Its advantages are: the structure is simple and the outlet angle adjustment accuracy is high.

[0037] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the first reinforcing ribs 26 at both ends of the upper connecting block 21 are integrally connected to the outer peripheral wall of the vertical pipe 20, and the nut of the first threaded part 3 is located in the U-shaped groove 27 between the two first reinforcing ribs 26. Its beneficial effect is that the reinforcing ribs are set at the load-bearing points, which can improve the overall structural strength.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the angle-adjusting through-hole 22 is a crescent-shaped, arc-shaped hole. The arc-shaped guide line at the center of the arc-shaped hole and the vertical tube 20 are concentrically positioned, and the distance between the arc-shaped guide line and the vertical tube 20 is equal to the center distance between the threaded connecting hole 102 and the insertion tube 100. Its beneficial effects are: the arc-shaped hole connects to multiple different threaded connecting holes 102, enabling stepless left and right adjustment of each threaded connecting hole 102. This means that different connection positions of the arc-shaped hole can be directly rotated to achieve different cable exit angles to adapt to various cable exit scenarios, covering 360° cable exit angle requirements. This significantly reduces the number of product and component types, effectively reducing management and material costs.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, the arc-shaped hole is a stepped arc through hole, and the first threaded component 3 is an internal hexagon screw. The upper stepped hole of the arc-shaped hole and the nut of the internal hexagon screw have a small clearance fit, and the lower stepped hole and the stud of the internal hexagon screw have a small clearance fit. Its advantages are: the stepped arc through hole and the internal hexagon screw design can further reduce the product size and facilitate the placement and arrangement of other components.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the two ends of the upper connecting block 21 are symmetrical about the center line of the vertical tube 20, and the rear wall and the front wall of the vertical tube 20 are coplanar and coincident. Its beneficial effect is that the structure further optimizes the size and volume of the components, making the equipment compact.

[0041] Preferred, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper connecting block 21 is also connected to the two ends of the front end of the vertical pipe 20 by two second reinforcing ribs 23. The beneficial effect is that the second reinforcing ribs 23 improve the structural strength and further improve the stability of the equipment.

[0042] Furthermore, the insertion interface 104 between the screw hole block 101 and the insertion tube 100 is connected to the vertical tube 20 with a small gap. Preferably, the inner end face of the screw hole block 101 is an arc surface 103, the insertion interface 104 is an annular insertion port, and the inner wall of the vertical tube 20 is connected to the outer wall of the vertical tube 20 with a small gap, while the outer wall is connected to the arc surface 103 with a small gap. The beneficial effect is that this arrangement enables double-sleeve positioning, improving the connection accuracy and overall strength of the structure.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a plurality of threaded connecting holes 102 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer wall of the insertion tube 100.

[0044] The floating inner plate 10 of the socket housing 1 is symmetrically provided with two vertical insertion tubes 100.

The second threaded component 032 passes through the first through hole 033 of the connecting end plate 031 and connects to the end face screw hole 41 of the power terminal 4. This allows the high-voltage wire harness 03 and the power terminal 4 to be detachably and rotatably connected. Preferably, the upper end face of the vertical tube 20 is provided with a mounting screw hole 24, and the third threaded component 7 is threaded into the mounting screw hole 24, facilitating the connection between the power terminal 4 and the high-voltage wire harness 03. Its advantages are: this arrangement facilitates the detachable installation and fixing of the connector, as well as angular rotation operations.

[0046] Preferably, the horizontal tube 25 of the plug housing 2 is further provided with a shielding element 5 for the front end of the high-voltage wiring harness 03, and an end seal 6 and a tail cap 9 are provided at the rear end. The beneficial effect is that this arrangement has a good sealing and shielding effect.
