[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 The socket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be installed in a vehicle 200 and can be used as a discharge socket. The vehicle 200 can be a new energy vehicle or a fuel-powered vehicle.

[0048] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a socket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 10 and a socket panel 20. The base 10 has a plug interface 101, and the socket panel 20 is disposed on the base 10, forming an installation space between the socket panel 20 and the base 10. The socket panel 20 has a plurality of sockets 21 for installing plugs of electrical equipment. The socket panel 20 can be installed in any location inside the vehicle, such as the center console, dashboard, trunk, seat back, or under the seat, to facilitate the use of electrical equipment inside the vehicle.

[0049] The socket 100 also includes a contact module 30, which is located in the installation space. The contact module 30 includes a contact element 31 and a connecting terminal 32. The contact element 31 is correspondingly arranged with the socket 21. It should be noted that the contact element 31 has a contact portion 313, and the plug of the electrical device can be inserted into the contact portion 313 through the socket 21. One end of the connecting terminal 32 is connected to the contact element 31, and the other end of the connecting terminal 32 extends into the socket 101. The other end of the connecting terminal 32 can be connected to a component in the vehicle 200, such as a control device, which can be an on-board charger or a power distribution box, etc.

[0050] In other words, by cooperating with the base 10 and the socket panel 20, and installing the contact module 30 in the installation space between the base 10 and the socket panel 20, an integral modular socket 100 is formed. The plug interface 101 of the base 10 is directly connected to the control device in the vehicle 200 through the connection terminal 32, which facilitates the quick plugging and connection of the socket 100 to the vehicle 200.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the socket 100 is modularly designed by setting a base 10 on one side of the socket panel 20 and defining an installation space, and integrating the contact module 30 in the installation space. The socket 10 can be directly plugged in and installed through the connection terminal 32 without the need for a large number of external wire harnesses, reducing the installation space requirements of the socket 100, facilitating the installation and fixing of the socket 100, and making the overall structure more reliable after plugging in and fitting, thus improving the stability of the product.

[0052] In some embodiments, the socket 100 further includes a fuse 40, which is disposed in the installation space and is connected to the contact 31, or to the connection terminal 32, or to both the contact 31 and the connection terminal 32. The fuse 40 is provided so that when the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current of the fuse 40, the circuit is cut off by melting the fusible element in the fuse 40, thereby preventing damage to electrical equipment or causing a fire.

[0053] Therefore, the fuse 40 is integrated into the socket 100, reducing wiring harness connections. At the same time, when the fuse 40 is damaged, only the socket 100 needs to be disassembled, without having to disassemble the entire electrical control assembly for replacement and repair. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the fuse 40, reduces maintenance costs, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0054] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the socket 100 has the contact module 30 and the fuse 40 integrated in the installation space, realizing the modular design of the socket 100 and further improving the stability of the product; in addition, the integrated design of the fuse 40 facilitates the repair or replacement of the fuse 40 when it is damaged, reducing maintenance costs.

[0055] It is understood that the connecting terminal 32 can be a laminated copper busbar flexible connector, a braided flexible connector, a wire, a copper busbar, or other metal conductors. The connecting terminal 32 may be provided with a wrapping piece on the outside. The connecting terminal 32 can be snapped into the base 10 through the wrapping piece, thereby facilitating the fixing of the connecting terminal 32 in the installation space. In addition, the connecting terminal 32 is used for electrical connection, and the base 10 can be fixedly connected to the housing of the control device or other parts of the vehicle, such as by snapping or bolting.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base 10 is provided with a locking member 14, which can engage with the control device. After engagement, by moving the locking member 14, the locking member 14 can be engaged with the control device again, thereby enhancing the reliability of the connection between the socket 100 and the control device and preventing the socket 100 from becoming loose due to vibration or external force during use.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting terminal 32 includes a first connecting terminal 321, the contact 31 includes a first contact 31a, one end of the fuse 40 is connected to the first connecting terminal 321 by a fastener, and the other end of the fuse 40 is connected to the first contact 31a by a fastener. That is, the fuse 40 is connected between the first connecting terminal 321 and the first contact 31a. The first connecting terminal 321, the fuse 40 and the first contact 31a are all directly connected by fasteners, thereby realizing the conduction of the circuit without the need for a wiring harness. This can reduce material and process costs, improve the reliability of the connection, and eliminate the design of the wiring harness. It can also improve the compactness of the structure, reduce the size of the overall structure, and make the socket 100 more compact and easier to install.

[0058] The first connection terminal 321 can be a live wire terminal, and the first contact 31a is a live wire contact copper busbar. The live wire terminal and the live wire contact copper busbar are connected by the fuse 40, which improves safety and effectively protects the circuit and equipment.

[0059] Furthermore, since the first connection terminal 321 is directly connected to the fuse 40, and the fuse 40 is directly connected to the contact 31, the wiring harness and copper block are eliminated, reducing costs, and the number of contact breaks is reduced, thus improving the current transmission efficiency.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fuse 40 extends in the vertical direction, and the first connecting terminal 321 extends in the front-back direction. The extension direction of the fuse 40 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first connecting terminal 321. This helps to reduce the size of the socket 100 in the front-back and vertical directions, avoids excessive front-back length or excessive vertical size, and makes the overall structure more compact.

[0061] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the first connecting terminal 321 is provided with a first connecting flange 3211, and the first connecting flange 3211 is provided with a connecting hole for fasteners to pass through. By providing a flange structure at one end of the first connecting terminal 321, the end is bent, thereby facilitating the cooperation between the first connecting terminal 321 and the fuse 40.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting terminal 32 further includes a second connecting terminal 322, and the contact 31 further includes a second contact 31b. The second contact 31b has an extension 311. One end of the second connecting terminal 322 is connected to the extension 311 by a fastener, thereby realizing the conduction of the circuit without the need for a wire harness. This can reduce material and process costs, improve the reliability of the connection, and eliminate the wire harness design, thereby improving the compactness of the structure, reducing the overall size of the structure, and making the socket 100 smaller and easier to install.

[0063] In addition, the second contact 31b is designed to be extended, so that the second connection terminal 322 and the second contact 31b can be directly connected, reducing contact breaks, significantly reducing the resistance in the circuit, and improving the current transmission efficiency.

[0064] The second connection terminal 322 can be a neutral terminal, and the second contact 31b is a neutral contact copper busbar. The neutral terminal and the neutral contact copper busbar are directly connected.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the structure of the second connecting terminal 322 is the same as that of the first connecting terminal 321. One end of the second connecting terminal 322 is provided with a second connecting flange, and the second connecting flange is provided with a connecting hole for fasteners to pass through. That is, the end of the second connecting terminal 322 is bent to facilitate the cooperation between the second connecting terminal 322 and the contact member 31.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting terminal 32 further includes a third connecting terminal 323, and the contact 31 further includes a third contact 31c. The third connecting terminal 323 is installed between the first connecting terminal 321 and the second connecting terminal 322, and the third connecting terminal 323 is connected to the third contact 31c via a wire harness or fastener. The third connecting terminal 323 can be a ground terminal, which is arranged between the live terminal and the neutral terminal.

[0067] like Figures 3-5As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting structure 312 is provided on the side of the contact 31 away from the connecting terminal. The limiting structure 312 is used to limit the nut 34 on the contact 31. By setting the limiting structure 312, the nut 34 is directly integrated on the contact 31. When the connecting terminal 32 or the fuse 40 is installed, the fastener can be directly connected to the nut 34 after passing through the connecting hole, which makes the installation more convenient and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the limiting structure 312 includes multiple limiting ribs 3121, which are arranged at intervals along a circumference and define a limiting space between them. The limiting space is used to accommodate the nut 34, thereby facilitating the forming of the limiting mechanism 312 and the installation of the nut 34. The limiting ribs 312 can be formed by stamping copper busbars, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture.

[0069] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the contact module 30 further includes a detection device 33, which is connected to two contacts 31. The detection device 33 is provided with an indicator light 331, which is used to indicate to the user whether the socket 100 is working properly. The detection device 33 can be a circuit board.

[0070] Specifically, the two contacts 31 are the first contact 31a and the second contact 31b, respectively. The second contact 31b is the neutral wire contact copper busbar, and the first contact 31a is the live wire contact copper busbar. The detection device 33 is connected to the neutral and live wire contact copper busbars. The detection device 33 is also connected in series with a diode 332, an indicator light 331, and a voltage divider resistor 333. When the plug of the electrical equipment is inserted into the contact portion 313 of the two contacts 31, when there is a voltage difference between the neutral and live wire contact copper busbars, the circuit of the detection device 33 is connected. After passing through the voltage divider resistor 333, the indicator light 331 is lit after being applied with the rated voltage. The light source is transmitted to the socket panel 20 and can be perceived by the user, so that the user can confirm that the socket 100 is working normally. The diode 332 can make the current conduction unidirectionally.

[0071] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the socket 100 further includes a protection module 50, which is disposed in the installation space. The protection module 50 includes a safety door 51 and a limiting seat 52. The limiting seat 52 is disposed on the seat 10, and the safety door 51 is movably disposed on the limiting seat 52. The safety door 51 is arranged opposite to the socket panel 20. An elastic member 53 is also provided between the safety door 51 and the limiting seat 52. The elastic member 53 is used to limit the safety door 51 to the position of blocking the socket 21.

[0072] When the plug is not inserted into the socket 21, the safety door 51 is positioned to block the socket 21 under the elastic force of the elastic element 53. When the plug is inserted into the socket 21, a certain force can be applied to the safety door 51 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 53, allowing the safety door 51 to move. The safety door 51 will not obstruct the normal function of the socket 100, and the plug can be inserted into the socket 100. This can achieve safety protection for the user and prevent fingers and wires from touching the socket.

[0073] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the limiting seat 52 is provided with a sliding groove 522, and the safety door 51 is provided with a slider 512. The slider 512 is inserted into the sliding groove 522 and can slide along the sliding groove 522, thereby realizing the sliding cooperation between the safety door 51 and the limiting seat 52, thereby guiding the movement of the safety door 51 and reducing the impact of the safety door 51's displacement on the protective effect. In addition, the limiting seat 52 is provided with a clearance position 523, which corresponds to the position of the contact part 313, so that the limiting seat 52 will not interfere with the cooperation between the plug and the contact part 313.

[0074] like Figures 6-9 As shown, in some examples, the safety door 51 has a slot 511 on the side near the limiting seat 52, and the limiting seat 52 has a protrusion 521 on the side near the mounting door 51. The protrusion 521 and the slot 511 are arranged opposite to each other, such as... Figure 8 As shown, a latching protrusion 521 is arranged on each side of the slide groove 522, and two corresponding latching slots 511 are arranged on the rear side of the safety door 51. When the socket 100 is not in use, that is, when no plug is inserted into the socket 21, the latching protrusion 521 and the latching slot 511 are arranged alternately. When a foreign object is inserted into a single socket 21, the safety door 51 will shift, and the latching protrusion 521 can be locked into the latching slot 511. Thus, the safety door 51 and the limit seat 52 will not slide relative to each other, further realizing the protection of the user.

[0075] Of course, the card slot 511 can also be set on the limit seat 52, and the card protrusion 521 can be set on the safety door 51.

[0076] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the socket 100 further includes a signal module 60, which is installed in the installation space. The signal module 60 includes a micro switch 61 and a signal contact terminal 62. One end of the micro switch 61 is connected to one end of the signal contact terminal 62, and the other end of the signal contact terminal 62 extends into the plug interface 101 for connecting to a control device in the vehicle. The contacts of the micro switch 61 can be closed when the plug is inserted into the socket 21. By providing the micro switch 61 in the socket 100, the on / off state of the circuit can be controlled. When the plug is not inserted into the socket 21, the contacts of the micro switch 61 are open, thus disconnecting the circuit. When the plug is inserted into the socket 21, the contacts of the micro switch 61 are closed, thus connecting the circuit. Here, the plug can directly contact the micro switch 61 when it is inserted into the socket 21, causing the contacts of the micro switch 61 to close, or it can indirectly contact the micro switch 61.

[0077] In some examples, one end of the micro switch 61 is located adjacent to the safety door 51. When the plug is inserted into the socket 21 and the safety door 51 is moved to the open position, the safety door 51 can squeeze the micro switch 61, causing the contacts of the micro switch 61 to close.

[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the seat 10 includes: a seat body 11 and a support member 12. The seat body 11 has a plug-in interface 101, and the support member 12 is disposed on the side of the seat body 11 near the socket panel 20 (e.g., Figure 10 (As shown on the front side), the support member 12 is connected to the base body 11, for example by snap-fit ​​or fastener connection, and the support member 12 is connected to the socket panel 20, for example by snap-fit ​​or fastener connection, thereby mounting the socket panel 20 on the base body 10. At least a portion of the fuse 40 and the contact module 30 are mounted on the support member 12, thereby assembling the entire socket 100.

[0079] like Figure 10 As shown, the socket 100 also includes a protective sleeve 13, which is located between the socket body 11 and the support member 12. The protective sleeve 13 can be snapped into the socket body 11. The protective sleeve 13 has multiple holes 131, and multiple connection terminals 32 are correspondingly installed in the multiple holes 131. This not only protects the connection terminals 32, but also further fixes the connection terminals 32, reduces the probability of the connection terminals 32 shaking, and improves the stability of the structure.

[0080] Referring to the accompanying drawings, in some specific embodiments, the contact 31 includes a first contact 31a, a second contact 31b, and a third contact 31c. The first contact 31a is a live wire contact copper busbar, and the contact portion on the first contact 31a is a live wire contact portion 313a. The second contact 31b is a neutral wire contact copper busbar, and the contact portion on the second contact 31b is a neutral wire contact portion 313b. The third contact 31c is a ground wire contact terminal, and the contact portion on the third contact 31c is a ground wire contact portion 313c. The first connecting terminal 321 is a live wire terminal, the second connecting terminal 322 is a neutral wire terminal, and the third connecting terminal 323 is a ground wire terminal.

[0081] The assembly of the socket 100 is as follows: the third connecting terminal 323 is soldered with a wire harness; the third connecting terminal 323 and the signal contact terminal 62 are inserted into the slot of the protective sleeve 13; the protective sleeve 13 is then assembled into the socket body 11 by a snap fastener; the other end of the soldered wire harness of the third connecting terminal 323 is riveted with a wire lug and screwed to the third contact 31c; the second connecting terminal 322 is connected to the extension 311 of the second contact 31b by a bolt; the first connecting terminal 321 is connected to the fuse 40 by a bolt; and then the fuse 40 is... The other end is connected to the first contact 31a by a bolt; the micro switch 61 connected to the signal contact terminal 62 is placed into the support component 12, the third contact 31c is placed into the support component 12, and then the second contact 31b and the first contact 31a are placed into the support component 12. The base body 11 is then snapped into the support component 12. The limit seat 52, the upper safety door 51, the lower safety door 51, and the elastic element 53 are then placed into the support component 12 in sequence. Finally, the socket panel 20 is snapped into the support component 12.

[0082] The vehicle 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a socket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
