The temperature contact chamber 120 is located inside the quick-connect connector body 100 so that the liquid inside the quick-connect connector body 100 can contact the temperature contact chamber 120.

[0048] Specifically, the temperature sensor plug 200 is integrated on the quick-connect connector body 100, and the insertion direction of the temperature sensor plug 200 to the external line is consistent with the insertion direction of the quick-connect connector body 100, which makes it easier for workers to connect the connector and reduces production costs.

[0049] The temperature plug slot 110 has a temperature contact chamber 120 at its bottom. The temperature contact chamber 120 extends into the interior of the plug body, so that the liquid inside the plug body can come into contact with the temperature contact chamber 120. The temperature probe 210 of the temperature sensor plug 200 is located inside the temperature contact chamber 120, so that the temperature sensor plug 200 can monitor the temperature of the liquid inside the plug body in real time.

[0050] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the temperature sensor plug 200 includes a temperature probe 210 and a temperature terminal plug 220; the temperature probe 210 is disposed on the temperature terminal plug 220, and one end of the temperature terminal plug 220 is inserted into the temperature insertion slot 110.

[0051] The temperature terminal plug 220 is L-shaped.

[0052] Specifically, the temperature probe 210 is mounted on the temperature terminal plug 220. One end of the temperature terminal plug 220 can be inserted into the temperature socket 110. A temperature sealing ring 230 is provided on the temperature terminal plug 220 to fit the temperature socket 110, ensuring the sealing between the temperature socket 110 and the temperature terminal plug 220, thus providing dust and water protection and protecting the temperature probe 210 on the temperature terminal plug 220. The temperature probe 210 can be an NTC temperature sensor (Negative Temperature Coefficient Sensor).

[0053] In addition, those skilled in the art can choose the type of temperature probe 210 according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0054] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the temperature plug slot 110 is provided with a plurality of temperature slots 111, and the temperature terminal plug 220 is provided with a temperature buckle 221 for matching the temperature slots 111.

[0055] Specifically, multiple temperature slots 111 are provided on the temperature plug slot 110, and multiple temperature clips 221 are provided on the temperature terminal plug 220. The temperature slots 111 and temperature clips 221 ensure the connection stability between the temperature plug slot 110 and the temperature terminal plug 220.

[0056] Among them, the temperature buckle 221 adopts an elastic buckle. This design makes it easier for the temperature terminal plug 220 to be plugged into the temperature insertion slot 110, and improves the connection stability between the temperature buckle 221 and the temperature slot 111 after plugging.

[0057] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the temperature plug slot 110 is provided with a foolproof mounting slot 112 that is adapted to the temperature terminal plug 220.

[0058] Specifically, a foolproof mounting slot 112 is provided on the temperature plug slot 110. There is one foolproof mounting slot 112, which is located between multiple temperature slots 111. The foolproof mounting slot 112 can be adapted to the outer contour of the temperature terminal plug 220, so that when the temperature terminal plug 220 is inserted into the temperature plug slot 110, the connection can be completed quickly.

[0059] The temperature plug 110 has multiple temperature limiting grooves 113, and the temperature terminal plug 220 has multiple temperature limiting blocks 222 that are adapted to the temperature limiting grooves 113. The cooperation between the temperature limiting grooves 113 and the temperature limiting blocks 222 can limit the rotation of the temperature terminal plug 220 and ensure the stability of the connection between the temperature terminal plug 220 and the temperature plug 110.

[0060] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the sealing quick-connect plug includes a pagoda connector structure 130, which is disposed at one end of the quick-connect body 100; a first sealing ring 140 is disposed on the pagoda connector structure 130.

[0062] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the sealing quick-connect plug also includes a locking retaining ring 300. The other end of the quick-connect body 100 is provided with a plurality of locking buckles 150 and a plurality of locking positioning blocks 160. The locking retaining ring 300 is provided with a locking groove 310 for fitting with the locking buckle 150, and a locking positioning groove 320 for fitting with the locking positioning block 160. A second sealing ring 330 is provided between the locking retaining ring 300 and the quick-connect body 100.

[0063] Specifically, a locking ring 300 is sealed to the other end of the quick-connect body 100. Multiple second sealing rings 330 are provided inside the quick-connect body 100, and a sealing ring 340 is provided between adjacent sealing rings. When the locking ring 300 is inserted into the quick-connect body 100, the end of the locking ring 300 can abut against the second sealing ring 330 to ensure the sealing between the locking ring 300 and the quick-connect body 100.

[0064] In addition, multiple locking buckles 150 are provided on the quick connector body 100, and locking grooves 310 for matching the locking buckles 150 are provided on the locking retaining ring 300. By providing the locking buckles 150 and locking grooves 310, the connection stability between the quick connector body 100 and the locking retaining ring 300 can be improved.

[0065] Meanwhile, multiple locking positioning blocks 160 are provided on the quick-connect connector body 100, and locking positioning grooves 320 are provided on the locking retaining ring 300 for matching the locking positioning blocks 160. Through the setting of locking positioning blocks 160 and locking positioning grooves 320, users can easily connect locking buckles 150 and locking slots 310.

[0066] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, it should be noted that a connector anti-disengagement latch 400 is provided on the locking ring 300. When the external pipeline is connected to the locking ring 300, the connector anti-disengagement latch 400 can engage with the external pipeline to prevent it from coming off. The side wall of the external pipeline is provided with an anti-disengagement groove that matches the connector anti-disengagement latch 400. Furthermore, when the external pipeline is inserted into the locking ring 300 and fully engaged, the outer wall of the external pipeline cooperates with multiple second sealing rings 330 to ensure the sealing between the quick-connect connector body 100 and the external pipeline.

[0067] See Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, it should be noted that the connector anti-detachment lock 400 has a two-layer structure. The upper layer is provided with an anti-detachment plate 410 that can engage with the external pipeline fittings and an anti-detachment hook 420 that can be adapted to the locking ring 300. A first slide 350 is provided on the locking ring 300, and the anti-detachment hook 420 slides within the first slide 350. The end of the first slide 350 near the connector anti-detachment lock 400 can prevent the anti-detachment hook 420 from disengaging from the first slide 350. The anti-detachment hook 420 and the first slide 350 cooperate to prevent the connector anti-detachment lock 400 from disengaging from the locking ring 300. The second layer of the connector anti-detachment lock 400 is provided with a locking hook 43. The locking ring 300 has a second slide rail 360 and a driving arc plate 440. A locking block 361 is provided at the end of the second slide rail 360 away from the anti-detachment lock buckle 400. When the external pipe fitting is inserted into the locking ring 300, the external pipe fitting can drive the driving arc plate 440 to move. The driving arc plate 440 drives the anti-detachment lock buckle 400 to move as a whole, so that the locking hook 430 engages with the locking block 361 in the second slide rail 360, so that the anti-detachment lock buckle 400 is fixed, thereby making the anti-detachment plate 410 engage with the anti-detachment groove on the external pipe fitting, ensuring that the external pipe fitting will not fall off.

[0068] This embodiment provides a battery cooling pipeline, including a quick-connect connector with an integrated temperature sensor.
