Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electronic lock housing assembly, an electronic lock, and a charging dock assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, new energy vehicles are equipped with charging sockets for use with charging guns to charge the vehicle's battery. To prevent the charging gun from accidentally separating from the charging socket during charging, an electronic lock is usually installed on the charging socket. During charging, the electronic lock locks the charging gun inserted into the charging socket, preventing accidental separation and ensuring charging safety.

[0003] In existing technology, electronic locks typically include a movable base and a locking lever fixed to the movable base. When the movable base moves to the locked position, the locking lever engages with a pin hole on the charging gun inserted into the charging base to prevent the charging gun from being pulled out of the charging base. When the movable base moves to the unlocked position, the locking lever disengages from the pin hole on the charging gun inserted into the charging base, allowing the charging gun to be pulled out of the charging base.

[0004] In existing technologies, to accurately determine the position of the moving base of an electronic lock, a microswitch needs to be installed in the lock's housing. When the moving base moves to the locked position, the microswitch is activated; when it moves to the unlocked position, the microswitch is deactivated. However, simply switching the microswitch on and off cannot meet the diverse needs of determining the moving base's position. For example, in some products, the position of the moving base needs to be determined by changes in the circuit's resistance. Therefore, some electronic locks use a combination of "gold fingers" and a circuit board (PCB). While this method is novel and cheaper than a switch, it is difficult to assemble, carries the risk of loosening and detachment, and requires precise positioning of both components.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic lock is provided, comprising: the aforementioned electronic lock housing assembly, a lock rod, a switch element, and a drive assembly. The electronic lock housing assembly has a through pin hole formed in the wall of the housing. A first terminal and a second terminal each have a first front end and a second front end, respectively. The lock rod movably passes through the pin hole and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The switch element is movably disposed in the housing and is movable between a bridging position in simultaneous electrical contact with the first and second front ends and a disconnected position separated from at least one of the first and second front ends. The drive assembly is disposed in the inner cavity and is used to drive the lock rod to move between the locked position and the unlocked position and to drive the switch element to move between the bridging position and the disconnected position.

[0011] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the locking lever is driven to the locked position by the driving assembly, the switching element is driven to the bridging position by the driving assembly; when the locking lever is driven to the unlocked position by the driving assembly, the switching element is driven to the disconnected position by the driving assembly.

[0012] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal and the second terminal further have a first rear end and a second rear end, respectively.

[0013] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the switching structure is removed and the switch is in the bridging position, the resistance of the path between the first rear end and the second rear end is the resistance of the first resistor; and when the switching structure is removed and the switch is in the disconnected position, the resistance of the path between the first rear end and the second rear end is the sum of the resistances of the first resistor and the second resistor.

[0014] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the switching structure is not removed and the switch is in the bridging position, the circuit between the first rear end and the second rear end is connected; and when the switching structure is not removed and the switch is in the disconnected position, the circuit between the first rear end and the second rear end is disconnected.

[0015] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the electronic lock further includes: a movable base disposed within the inner cavity of the housing and operatively engaged with the drive assembly to move between the locked position and the unlocked position under the drive assembly, wherein the locking rod and the switch are fixed on the movable base and move with the movement of the movable base.

[0016] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the switching element includes a first conductive spring and a second conductive spring.

[0017] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the movable seat moves to the locked position, the first conductive spring contacts the first front end and the second conductive spring contacts the second front end to bridge the first front end and the second front end, and when the movable seat moves to the unlocked position, at least one of the first conductive spring contacts and the first front end and the second conductive spring contacts and the second front end separates.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a charging dock assembly is provided, comprising: a charging dock; and the aforementioned electronic lock, which is fixedly mounted on the charging dock. When the movable seat of the electronic lock is moved to the locked position, the locking lever of the electronic lock engages with a charging gun inserted into the charging dock to prevent the charging gun from being pulled out of the charging dock. When the movable seat is moved to the unlocked position, the locking lever disengages from the charging gun inserted into the charging dock to allow the charging gun to be pulled out of the charging dock.

[0020] In the foregoing exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the electronic lock of the present invention has a removable switching structure on the terminals injection-molded into the housing wall. This switching structure has an indicator extending into the inner cavity. Whether the switching structure has been removed is determined by whether the indicator is visible, thereby deciding whether a resistor needs to be installed in subsequent production and assembly. When the indicator is not visible, i.e., the switching structure has been removed, a resistor needs to be installed on and between the terminals; the microswitch is a resistance switch. When the indicator is visible, i.e., the switching structure has not been removed, no resistor needs to be installed on or between the terminals; the microswitch is a switching switch.

[0021] Furthermore, the electronic lock of this invention does not require the addition of a circuit board (PCB). It can freely switch between a resistive switch and a digital switch simply by removing the switching structure. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, and cost-effective, and it optimizes the internal space arrangement of the electronic lock housing.
