The cable extends into the charging gun housing, and the charging gun head is installed at the front end of the housing. The charging gun head is the part that connects the charging gun to the charging interface of the new energy vehicle. The design of the charging gun head must comply with relevant standards, such as national standards, European standards, or American standards, to ensure compatibility and safety. The charging gun head contains charging pins that are electrically connected to the cable.

[0003] Among them, Chinese utility model patent with patent number ZL202421046048.1 discloses a charging gun with a fixed wire structure, and specifically discloses the following technical solution: the two ends of the charging gun body are respectively equipped with a charging gun head and a tail cover, the charging gun body is provided with a wire cavity, and a wire clamping structure for clamping the cable is provided in the wire cavity. The wire clamping structure includes an upper clamping cover and a lower clamping cover. The upper clamping cover and the lower clamping cover are screwed together to form a ring for the cable to pass through. Multiple protruding nails are fixed on the inner ring wall of the upper clamping cover and the inner ring wall of the lower clamping cover. The cable is interference-clamped between the upper clamping cover and the lower clamping cover. An arc-shaped mounting groove is opened on the side wall of the charging gun body. The arc-shaped mounting groove connects to the wire cavity, and a hand-mounted cover can be detachably fastened at the arc-shaped mounting groove.

[0004] In the above-mentioned charging gun assembly process, after the clamping cable cover is installed, the clamping cable lower cover is inserted radially along the clamping cable cover through the arc-shaped mounting groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0040] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a structurally improved charging gun includes a charging gun housing 1, a charging gun head 2, a cable 3, a tail cap 4, and a cable fixing assembly 5. The charging gun head 2 is installed at the front end of the charging gun housing 1.

[0041] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the charging gun housing 1 has a rearward-opening housing cavity 11 inside, the cable 3 extends into the housing cavity 11, the cable fixing assembly 5 is located inside the housing cavity 11, and the tail cap 4 is installed at the rear opening of the housing cavity 11.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the wire fixing assembly 5 includes two wire clamping blocks 51 that are opposite each other on the outside of the cable 3, and each wire clamping block 51 has a wedge-shaped protrusion 512 on its clamping surface 511.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, each wire clamping block 51 has a screw mounting hole 513 in the middle part. The charging gun housing 1 has a stud 52 corresponding to each wire clamping block 51 in the housing cavity 11. Each wire clamping block 51 is equipped with a locking screw 53 that passes through the corresponding screw mounting hole 513, and each locking screw 53 is threadedly connected to the corresponding stud 52. The inner wall of the housing cavity 11 abuts against each wire clamping block 51, and the two wire clamping blocks 51 cooperate to clamp the cable 3.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is fitted around the cable 3, located between the cable fixing assembly 5 and the tail cap 4. The soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is locked and secured between the charging gun housing 1 and the tail cap 4. The inner wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the cable 3, and the outer wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the housing cavity 11. It should be noted that the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 in this embodiment can be a silicone ring; however, the above materials do not constitute a limitation on this embodiment, that is, the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 in this embodiment can also be injection molded from other soft rubber materials.

[0045] It should be noted that, for the charging gun housing 1 of this embodiment, the housing cavity 11 corresponding to the position of the cable fixing assembly 5 adopts a constricted structure, that is, the inner wall of the housing cavity 11 at this position gradually tightens inward from back to front; when the cable fixing assembly 5 of embodiment 1 is installed, each clamping block 51 is placed into the housing cavity 11, and each clamping block 51 is clamped and fixed to the stud 52 position of the charging gun housing 1 by the locking screw 53. During this process, the inner wall of the housing cavity 11 will push against each clamping block 51 inward and make each clamping block 51 press down on the cable 3. At this time, the two clamping blocks 51 cooperate to clamp and fix the cable 3, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the cable 3 and prevent the cable 3 from moving or rotating relative to the charging gun housing 1.

[0046] It should be emphasized that in the wire fixing assembly 5 of this embodiment, each wire pressing block 51 is pressed and fixed by locking screws 53, and each wire pressing block 51 presses the cable 3 by means of the inward pushing action of the inner wall of the housing cavity 11; compared with the wire fixing assembly 5 of the prior art, the wire fixing assembly 5 of this embodiment is simpler in structure and easier to install.

[0047] It should be further emphasized that, for the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 that is locked between the tail cap 4 and the charging gun housing 1, since the inner wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the cable 3 and the outer wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the housing cavity 11, the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 can effectively achieve waterproof sealing at the rear opening of the housing cavity 11, thereby effectively improving the waterproof performance of the charging gun; compared with the prior art, the charging gun with the structural improvement of this embodiment has better waterproof performance.

[0048] In summary, the improved charging gun of this embodiment has the advantages of novel design, good waterproof performance, simple wiring structure and convenient installation.

[0049] Example 2, as Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that: the inner wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is provided with a plurality of inner protrusions 61 arranged sequentially and at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 3, and the outer wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is provided with a plurality of outer protrusions 62 arranged sequentially and at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 3.

[0050] The inner wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the cable 3 through multiple inner protrusions 61. This structural design enables the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 and the cable 3 to have multiple waterproof structures, so as to effectively ensure the sealing and waterproof performance between the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 and the cable 3.

[0051] Similarly, the outer wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is in close contact with the inner wall of the outer shell cavity 11 through multiple outer protrusions 62. This structural design enables the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 and the charging gun shell 1 to have multiple waterproof structures, so as to effectively ensure the sealing and waterproof performance between the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 and the charging gun shell 1.

[0052] Example 3, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that the tail cover 4 is in the shape of a round sleeve, the tail cover 4 is fitted around the cable 3, and the tail cover 4 is fastened to the rear end of the charging gun housing 1.

The soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is limited and locked between the outer shell block 12 and the protrusions 41.

[0054] It should be noted that the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 in this embodiment 3 is limited and locked by the outer shell block 12 and the protrusion 41 of the tail cover 4, which has the advantage of convenient installation.

[0055] Example 4, as Figures 7 to 9As shown, the difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 3 is that: the tail cover 4 has four inwardly protruding buckles 42 inside, and the rear end of the charging gun housing 1 has buckle holes 14 corresponding to each buckle 42. The tail cover 4 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the rear end of the charging gun housing 1, and each buckle 42 is fastened into the corresponding buckle hole 14; the end of the protrusion 41 is provided with a backhoe part 411, and the backhoe part 411 of the protrusion 41 abuts against the rear end of the charging gun housing 1 outward.

[0056] During the process of attaching the tail cap 4 to the rear end of the charging gun housing 1, the four fastening positions 42 of the tail cap 4 are respectively fastened into the corresponding fastening holes 14. Since the backhoe part 411 of the protrusion 41 is located on the inner side of the rear end of the charging gun housing 1 and the backhoe part 411 faces outward and abuts against the rear end of the charging gun housing 1, the function of the backhoe part 411 is to prevent the fastening positions 42 of the tail cap 4 from popping open, thereby preventing the tail cap 4 from falling off during use.

[0057] Example 5, as Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the rear end of the outer wall of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is provided with a positioning protrusion 63, the positioning protrusion 63 and the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 are an integral structure, and the rear edge of the charging gun housing 1 is provided with a positioning groove 13 corresponding to the positioning protrusion 63 of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6, and the positioning protrusion 63 of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is embedded in the positioning groove 13 of the charging gun housing 1.

[0058] During the process of installing the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 into the housing cavity 11, the charging gun with the improved structure in this embodiment 5 can achieve accurate and rapid positioning of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 by cooperating with the alignment protrusion 63 and the alignment groove 13.

[0059] Example 6, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this sixth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the rear end of the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 is provided with an extension 64 that passes through the tail cap 4 and extends to the rear end side of the tail cap 4. The extension 64 and the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 are an integral structure.

[0060] The extension 64 in this embodiment can effectively increase the contact connection between the soft rubber waterproof ring 6 and the cable 3, and the extension 64 is snapped into the inside of the tail cap 4. This structural design can further improve the waterproof performance of the charging gun in this embodiment.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
