Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable connectors, and in particular to a high-current female connector with temperature sensing. Background Technology

[0002] Cable connectors are used to connect two active devices to transmit current or signals. A connector consists of a plug and a connector, which are respectively connected to a cable. By inserting the plug into the connector, conductivity is established between the two cable segments, thus enabling the flow of current or signals. The plug typically includes a plug conductor with an insulating sleeve on the outside. Similarly, the connector includes a connector core and an insulating sleeve on the outside of the connector core. In use, the plug is inserted into the connector, establishing conductivity between the plug conductor and the connector conductor, thus enabling the cable connector to function.

[0003] However, with the development of power systems, especially the increase in high-current applications, cable connectors are prone to overheating during operation due to excessive current or poor contact. Overheating not only affects connector performance but can also lead to equipment damage or even safety accidents. Most existing cable connectors lack temperature monitoring capabilities, making it impossible to monitor their operating temperature in real time, hindering timely detection and handling of overheating issues, and posing significant safety hazards.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution: a high-current female connector with temperature sensing, comprising a connector housing, a connector conductor disposed within the connector housing, and a temperature measuring probe, wherein the temperature measuring probe is used to collect the temperature of the connector conductor, and the temperature measuring probe is fixed by a fixing device.

[0006] By employing the aforementioned technical solution and installing a temperature probe within the connector housing, the temperature data of the connector conductors can be collected in real time, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the connector's operating status. This design effectively prevents connector damage or safety accidents caused by overheating, improving the reliability and safety of equipment operation, and is particularly suitable for high-current applications.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a mounting hole is provided on the connector housing, a screw hole is provided on the connector conductor, one end of the temperature probe is disposed in the screw hole and fixed to the connector conductor by threads, and a sealing structure for sealing the mounting hole is also provided in the mounting hole.

[0008] The above technical solution involves providing mounting holes on the connector housing and threaded holes on the connector conductor, allowing the temperature probe to be fixed by threads. This ensures tight contact between the temperature probe and the connector conductor, improving the accuracy of temperature acquisition. Simultaneously, the sealing structure within the mounting holes prevents dust and moisture from entering, enhancing the connector's sealing performance and durability.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sealing structure includes a rubber plug, the rubber plug having a perforation through which the temperature probe passes, and the outer periphery of the rubber plug sealing the mounting hole.

[0010] The above technical solution uses a rubber plug as the sealing structure. The perforations on the plug allow the temperature probe to pass through, while the outer circumference of the rubber plug effectively seals the mounting hole. This design not only ensures the sealing performance of the connector housing but also prevents external environmental corrosion of the connector's internal structure, extending the connector's service life.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it further includes a connecting screw disposed outside the connector housing, the connecting screw being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector conductor, a locking nut being disposed on the connecting screw, and a temperature measuring pad being disposed on the connecting screw. The temperature measuring pad includes a pad sleeved on the connecting screw and a probe fixedly connected to the pad, and the temperature measuring pad is locked by the locking nut.

[0012] The above technical solution enables rapid installation and fixation of the connector by installing a connecting screw and a locking nut on the outside of the connector housing. The temperature sensing pad is locked with the locking nut to ensure tight contact with the connecting screw, thereby accurately collecting temperature data of the connector conductor and improving the reliability of temperature monitoring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the top end of the connector conductor is provided with an insulating cap.

[0014] By using the above technical solution, an insulating cap is installed at the top of the connector conductor, which can effectively prevent operators from accidentally touching the connector conductor and avoid the risk of electric shock.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it further includes a dust cover for covering the opening of the connector housing; one end of the dust cover is hinged to one end of the connector housing; the other end of the dust cover is detachably connected to the connector housing.

[0016] The above technical solution effectively covers the opening of the connector housing by setting a dust cover, preventing external contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering the connector. One end of the dust cover is hinged to the connector housing, while the other end is detachable, facilitating operation and maintenance and improving the connector's protective performance and practicality.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model achieves real-time monitoring of the operating temperature of high-current connectors by incorporating a temperature probe and a temperature-sensing pad, effectively solving the problem of traditional connectors lacking temperature detection functionality. The temperature probe is fixed to the connector conductor by threads, ensuring accurate temperature acquisition; the temperature-sensing pad is tightly contacted with the connecting screw by a locking nut, further improving the reliability of temperature monitoring. This design can promptly detect connector overheating, preventing equipment damage or safety accidents caused by overheating, and is particularly suitable for high-current applications, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the connector.

[0019] 2. This utility model enhances the sealing performance of the connector by using mounting holes and rubber plugs on the connector housing, preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior and extending the service life of the connector. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 2This embodiment discloses a high-current female connector with temperature sensing, including a connector housing 1 and a connector conductor 2 disposed within the connector housing 1. The connector conductor 2 is used to mate with the conductor of the male connector.

[0029] A temperature sensing device is also provided on the connector conductor 2. The temperature sensing device includes a temperature probe 3 for collecting the temperature of the connector conductor 2 during operation. In this embodiment, a mounting hole 4 is provided on the connector housing 1, and a screw hole 5 is provided on the connector conductor 2. One end of the temperature probe 3 is disposed in the screw hole 5 and is fixed to the connector conductor 2 by threads. A sealing structure for sealing the mounting hole is also provided in the mounting hole 4. The temperature probe 3 collects the temperature on the connector conductor 2 and is connected to an external data acquisition module through a wire.

[0030] The sealing structure includes a rubber plug 6, which has a through hole 61 for the temperature probe 3 to pass through. The outer periphery of the rubber plug 6 seals the mounting hole 4. The rubber plug 6 ensures the airtightness of the connector housing 1 and prevents dust and moisture from entering the connector housing 1 from the mounting hole 4 and contacting the connector conductor 2.

[0031] A connecting screw 7 is located outside the connector housing 1. The connecting screw 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector conductor 2.
