[0030] Further, the number of connecting springs 112 is seven.
[0031] Further, one end of the terminal skeleton 1 provided with the contact spring 102 is annular, and a plurality of spring grooves are uniformly distributed on the side wall. The number of contact springs 102 is the same as the number of spring grooves, and a plurality of contact springs 102 are arranged in the plurality of spring grooves, and one end of each contact spring 102 is connected to the side wall of the corresponding spring groove close to the tail connection assembly 106.
[0032] Further, the number of contact springs 102 is four, and the four contact springs 102 are arranged around the terminal skeleton 1.
[0033] Further, the contact spring 102 extends towards the direction close to the axis of the terminal skeleton 1.
[0034] It can be understood that the charging gun can be inserted into the terminal skeleton 1 from the side of the terminal skeleton 1 provided with the contact spring 102, and contact with the contact spring 102 through the spring groove to form an electrical connection. At the same time, by extending the contact spring 102 towards the direction close to the terminal skeleton 1, when the charging gun is inserted into the terminal skeleton 1, the contact spring 102 is extruded, so that the contact spring 102 is deformed, thereby increasing the stability of the charging gun and the contact spring 102.
[0035] Further, the inner wall of the terminal skeleton 1 is provided with a convex 101, the convex 101 is located away from the tail connection assembly 106 direction of the contact spring 102, and the convex 101 extends towards the direction close to the axis of the terminal skeleton 1.
[0036] It can be understood that the convex 101 is used to limit the maximum angle of insertion of the charging gun needle, which can protect the contact spring 102 from excessive deformation and plastic deformation.
[0037] Further, the outer wall of the terminal skeleton 1 is also provided with a guide column.
[0038] It can be understood that the guide column is used as a guide when the spring-type charging terminal is loaded into the charging socket, and only when the guide column and the groove on the socket shell are aligned can it be loaded.

In this way, the direction of the tail connecting assembly 106 of the tail part of the terminal is fixed, which is convenient for plugging with the male terminal of the PCB.
[0041] Further, the spring-type charging terminal further comprises a sealing ring 2, which is sleeved on the terminal skeleton 1 and located between the contact spring 102 and the tail connecting assembly 106.

That is, the sealing ring 2 is injection molded at the position where the flow guide hole 103 of the terminal skeleton 1 is formed, and when the sealing ring 2 is injection molded, the liquid glue can quickly fill the entire cavity through the flow guide holes 103. After the sealing ring is formed, the flow guide holes 103 can also play a role in fixing the sealing ring. At the same time, the part of the terminal skeleton 1 wrapped by the sealing ring 2 forms a sealed skeleton 104, which is completely wrapped by the sealing ring 2 and mainly plays a role in supporting the sealing ring 2, so that the sealing ring 2 achieves better sealing effect.
[0045] Further, the terminal skeleton 1 is further provided with a front glue sealing groove 110 and a rear glue sealing groove 111, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the sealing ring 2.
[0046] It can be understood that the front glue sealing groove 110 and the rear glue sealing groove 111 are the planes of the upper and lower molds of the injection mold of the sealing ring 2, which mainly play a role in sealing glue to prevent overflow during injection.
[0047] In the embodiment, the terminal skeleton 1 is formed by roll forming, and the structure of the dovetail buckle is formed on the end face after forming to buckle and fix the two end faces after roll forming, forming a cylindrical terminal skeleton 1.
[0048] Specifically, the terminal skeleton 1 is provided with a head dovetail buckle 107, a middle dovetail buckle 108 and a tail dovetail 109 in sequence on the end face after forming, the terminal skeleton 1 is fixed after being circled through the head dovetail buckle 107, the middle dovetail buckle 108 and the tail dovetail 109, and the terminal skeleton 1 is prevented from loosening in the plugging process.
[0049] In the embodiment, the terminal skeleton 1 is plated after being formed, the plating includes nickel plating, silver plating and tin plating, and the plating can be integral or partial, for example, the contact spring 102 is electrically connected with the tail connecting assembly 106 through plating, and the terminal can be continuously plated with the material belt.
[0050] After plating, the terminal skeleton 1 is encapsulated. After encapsulation, the sealing ring 2 is formed, the sealing ring 2 is tightly bonded with the terminal skeleton, and the protection level of IP67 can be achieved. The sealing ring 2 has two waterproof rib positions 201. When the terminal is installed in the charging socket, the waterproof rib position 201 is in interference fit with the socket shell, the waterproof rib position is deformed, and the sealing of the terminal and the socket shell is achieved.
[0051] In the embodiment, a charging socket is also provided, which includes the reed type charging terminal and the socket shell, and the reed type charging terminal is arranged in the socket shell.
[0052] As can be seen from the above, the tail connecting assembly is connected with the male terminal of the PCB through the connection mode, the tail of the terminal does not need to be crimped with the cable, and the production time is reduced. Moreover, the connection mode of the tail connecting assembly can improve the assembly efficiency, the connection is more stable and reliable, and poor contact caused by the terminal back-off is prevented. The structure of the connecting spring in the tail connecting assembly is suitable for the processing mode of stamping forming, and is beneficial to reducing the overall cost of the socket.
