Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging adapter technology, specifically to a new energy vehicle adapter. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry globally, more and more consumers are choosing cars powered by clean energy. However, due to the lack of unified charging interface standards between different countries and car brands, inconsistencies in standards frequently lead to charging compatibility issues, significantly hindering the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles. To address this problem, a variety of adapter products have emerged on the market. These adapters can convert between different charging interfaces, such as converting Chinese standard charging interfaces to American or European standard charging interfaces, to adapt to corresponding charging guns or charging stations. This improves the convenience and flexibility of charging.
[0003] While existing adapters can perform basic conversion functions, their fixed connection means they can only convert between specific interfaces, limiting their application and impacting the user's charging experience. Therefore, this invention proposes a quick-detachable and flexibly switchable adapter for new energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model provides a new energy vehicle adapter that allows users to quickly disassemble and switch between different charging interfaces through the cooperation of the quick-connect component and the connecting part, thus solving the problem that existing adapters can only achieve the conversion of a specified interface.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 The specific implementation of the new energy vehicle conversion connector includes an adapter sleeve 1, an output connector 2 and an input connector 3. One end of the output connector 2 and the input connector 3 is provided with a connecting part 4 that connects and cooperates with the adapter sleeve 1. Both ends of the adapter sleeve 1 are provided with quick-release components 5 that cooperate with the connecting part 4. The other ends of the output connector 2 and the input connector 3 are respectively provided with a plug 21 and an interface 31 that connect to the external vehicle charging port and the external charging gun.
[0023] The quick-connect assembly and connector 4 work together to enable rapid connection and disconnection of the adapter sleeve 1 with the output connector 2 and input connector 3. The plug 21 and interface 31 connect to the external vehicle charging port and charging gun respectively, achieving efficient current transmission and ensuring a safe and stable charging process. By replacing different output connectors 2 and input connectors 3, compatibility conversion between different connectors can be achieved to meet various charging needs.
[0024] The quick-release assembly 5 includes a sliding sleeve 51, a ball bearing 52, and a return spring 53. The sliding sleeve 51 is slidably mounted on both ends of the adapter sleeve 1 via the return spring 53. Several limiting grooves 11 are arranged around both ends of the adapter sleeve 1. The ball bearing 52 is slidably mounted within the limiting grooves 11. The connecting part 4 has a fixing groove 41 that mates with the ball bearing 52. The return spring 53 pushes the sliding sleeve 51 to slide, pushing the ball bearing 52 into the limiting groove 11 and pressing it tightly. This ensures a tight fit between the ball bearing 52 and the fixing groove 41, firmly locking the connecting part 4 onto the adapter sleeve 1, thus achieving a quick connection between the connecting part 4 and the adapter sleeve 1. When separation is required, simply push the sliding sleeve 51 in the opposite direction to release the ball bearing 52 from the sliding sleeve 51's restriction, easily separating the connecting part 4 from the adapter sleeve 1, thus completing the quick disassembly operation.
[0025] The inner side of the sliding sleeve 51 is provided with a guide portion 511 that mates with the ball 52. The guide portion 511 guides the ball 52 into the limiting groove 11, thereby pressing the ball 52 tightly within the limiting groove 11, ensuring that the ball 52 can precisely mate with the fixed groove 41, further improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The outer side of the sliding sleeve 51 is provided with an anti-slip groove 512. The anti-slip groove 512 is used to increase the friction on the outer side of the sliding sleeve 51, preventing hand slippage during operation and improving operational safety.
[0026] The adapter sleeve 1 has several conductive posts 12 inside, and the connecting part 4 has a conductive sleeve 42 that mates with the conductive posts 12. Both the plug 21 and the interface 31 have conversion circuits that connect to the conductive sleeve 42. In use, the plug 21 is connected to the charging gun, and the conversion circuit of the interface 31 transmits the current to the conductive sleeve 42, then to the output connector 2 through the conductive posts 12, and finally to the vehicle charging port through the conversion circuit on the plug 21, achieving seamless current conversion and ensuring charging efficiency and safety.
[0027] One side of the interface 31 is provided with a fixing slot 311 for cooperating with an external charging gun. The fixing slot 311 is used to cooperate with the external charging gun to complete a firm connection with the external charging gun, so as to prevent the interface 31 from becoming loose during charging and accidentally disconnecting from the external charging gun, thus ensuring the safety of the charging process.
[0028] A pivot 211 is provided on one side of the plug 21. A swing plate 212 and a torsion spring 213 are fitted around the outside of the pivot 211. The two ends of the torsion spring 213 abut against the swing plate 212 and the plug 21, respectively. One end of the swing plate 212 has a latch 214 that engages with an external vehicle charging port. The pivot 211 and the torsion spring 213 allow the swing plate 212 to swing within a certain angle. The latch 214 at one end of the swing plate 212 engages with the external vehicle charging port, ensuring a tight connection between the plug 21 and the charging port, preventing accidental detachment during charging and improving safety. When it is necessary to unplug the plug 21, simply press the swing plate 212 lightly to disengage the latch 214 from the vehicle charging port for easy separation. This design not only simplifies the operation process but also enhances the stability and safety of the charging connection, providing users with a convenient and reliable charging experience.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the cooperation of the quick-release component 5 and the connecting part 4, users can quickly replace different output connectors 2 and input connectors 3, thereby achieving flexible conversion between various charging interfaces 31. Furthermore, by cooperating with the plug 21 and interface 31 with external vehicle charging ports and charging guns respectively, current transmission is completed, giving the adapter higher compatibility and convenience, thus improving the user experience.
