Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle charging sockets, and more specifically, to a novel waterproof vehicle charging socket. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicle charging sockets must be designed for various usage scenarios. In rainy or wet conditions, liquid must be prevented from entering the socket and causing electrical leakage. However, existing European standard charging sockets for electric vehicles do not offer sufficient waterproof sealing to address this issue.

[0003] The sealing of existing sockets mainly relies on three types of mating: the mating of the sealing ring with the housing and flange, the mating of the terminal sealing ring with the terminal and the socket housing, and the mating of the wire sealing body with the housing and the tail cap. This method uses an internal shielding connection, which increases the height of the tail cap, requires more material, and is therefore more expensive. The wiring harness is also longer inside the housing, making the tail cap prone to detachment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a new type of waterproof vehicle charging socket, which is expected to solve the problems of poor sealing and complex materials used in existing sockets.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] The fastener is fixed to the housing by the connector, and the terminal sealing ring is installed between the inner hole of the housing and the power terminal;

[0011] The wiring harness of the temperature sensor passes through the tail cap sealing body and exits the housing. An interference fit is formed between the wiring harness and the tail cap sealing body. The tail cap is installed on the housing.

[0012] Among them, the housing sealing ring forms an interference fit with the housing and flange, the terminal sealing ring forms an interference fit with the housing inner hole and the terminal, and the sealing body forms an interference fit with the mounting hole and the wire harness. All of these can form a good sealing effect and prevent liquid from entering.

[0013] This utility model uses a sealing ring to seal the shell and flange, preventing water from seeping into the shell along the flange surface;

[0014] The terminals and housing are sealed with a sealing ring to prevent water from seeping into the housing from the front end of the housing along the terminals;

[0015] The housing and tail cap are sealed with a sealing ring to prevent water from seeping into the housing through the temperature sensor wiring harness;

[0016] The temperature sensor wiring harness is sealed to the housing using a sealing body to prevent water from seeping into the housing from the tail cap.

[0017] The above waterproofing measures are sufficient to ensure the waterproofing effect of the socket.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the connecting component includes a bushing and a screw;

[0019] The housing is provided with screw holes, and the bushing is installed in the screw holes of the housing;

[0020] The fastener has a screw hole, and the screw passes through the screw hole of the fastener and is installed in the bushing.

[0026] In the DC socket unit, the housing sealing ring is a DC housing sealing ring; the housing is a DC housing, the terminal sealing ring is a DC terminal sealing ring, the power terminal is a DC power terminal, the thermally conductive silicone is a DC thermally conductive silicone, the fixing component is a DC fixing component, the tail cover sealing body is a DC tail cover sealing body, and the tail cover is a DC tail cover.

[0027] In the AC socket unit, the housing sealing ring is an AC housing sealing ring; the housing is an AC housing; the terminal sealing ring is an AC terminal sealing ring; the power terminal is an AC power terminal; the thermally conductive silicone is AC thermally conductive silicone; the fixing component is an AC fixing component; the tail cover sealing body is an AC tail cover sealing body; and the tail cover is an AC tail cover.

[0028] In actual production and use, DC charging sockets and AC charging sockets are usually installed next to each other. Therefore, socket units that include both DC and AC socket units are more suitable for vehicle charging.

[0029] A further technical solution is that the DC tail cover includes a first DC tail cover and a second DC tail cover;

[0030] The wire harness passes through the first DC tail cover sealing body and exits the housing. The first DC tail cover is provided with a sealing ring and is installed on the housing.

[0031] The second DC tail cover is installed on the first DC tail cover.

[0032] The first DC tail cover, the sealing body, and the second DC tail cover are sealed together. The sealing body is located between the first DC tail cover and the second DC tail cover, which can effectively prevent water from entering the housing along the wire harness.

[0033] A further technical solution is that the DC waterproof vehicle charging socket also includes a temperature sensor sealing body;

[0034] The temperature sensor wiring harness passes through the temperature sensor sealing body, which is installed in the housing.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a novel waterproof vehicle charging socket. Through the cooperation of the sealing ring with the housing and flange, the terminal sealing ring with the terminal and the socket housing, the tail cover sealing ring with the tail cover and the housing, the temperature sensor sealing wire with the housing, the sealing wire with the housing and the tail cover, and the housing having a drainage knot for protection, the sealing performance is greatly guaranteed and the reliability of the seal is improved. Furthermore, by placing the shielding ring externally, this application reduces the amount of tail cover material used, lowers component costs, and makes the tail cover shorter, thus reducing the likelihood of tail cover detachment.
