[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] A current detection structure for a high-current plug for a charging gun includes a base plate 1, a plug body 5 on the top of the base plate 1, an arc-shaped insulating plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, an insulating baffle 3 on the front side of the arc-shaped insulating plate 4, a negative power line 6 and a positive power line 7 respectively on the top of the base plate 1, an ammeter 10 installed inside the positive power line 7, a plugging mechanism 8 on the top of the base plate 1, and a conductive mechanism 9 on the top of the base plate 1.

[0028] The insertion mechanism 8 includes a fixed sleeve 801, a pull plate 802, a support plate 803, and two slides 804. The front side of the fixed sleeve 801 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pull plate 802, the bottom of the pull plate 802 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 803, and the side of the slide 804 near the support plate 803 is fixedly connected to the support plate 803. The pin body 5 is movably disposed inside the fixed sleeve 801, and the bottom of the pin body 5 contacts the top of the support plate 803.

[0029] In this embodiment: Based on the PTFE base plate 1, the positioning blocks 2 on both sides of the base plate 1 can be fixed to the external testing platform by external bolts. During testing, the pin body 5 is placed into the PTFE fixing sleeve 801, with the bottom contacting the PTFE support plate 803. The PTFE pull ring 11 is held to drive the pull plate 802, causing the slide 804 to slide backward along the slide groove 14 of the base plate 1, pushing the pin to engage between the first and second beryllium copper retaining rings 901 and 903. The retaining rings are fixed by the bracket 904. The bottom bracket 904 is connected to the base plate 1, and the top bracket 904 is connected to the PTFE fixing frame 902 to ensure stability. After engagement, the glass fiber reinforced plastic insulating baffle 3 is inserted between the limiting plate 15 and the arc-shaped insulating plate 4 of the same material by holding the pull block 16 to form a protective space. The fixing sleeve 801 and the support plate 803 are located within the baffle notch 17 to avoid... Without interference, the positive power line 7 and negative power line 6 are connected to the detection power supply. The ammeter 10 inside the positive power line 7 measures the current, and the temperature sensor 13 on the mounting bracket 902 touches the pin to measure the temperature. The current reflects the conductivity of the pin body 5, and the temperature monitors for potential overheating. Utilizing the good insulation properties of polytetrafluoroethylene and glass fiber reinforced plastic, safe and stable detection is achieved. This method is suitable for small manufacturers with limited costs. It solves the problem that some small-scale charging gun high-current pin manufacturers are limited by the high cost of automated testing equipment and still use the traditional method of manually inserting the high-current pin of the charging gun into the equipment for testing. During operation, it is necessary to manually align the pin with the socket, apply force to insert and pull it, and pass in a large current. However, the high-current pin of the charging gun is mostly made of smooth and hard metal, which is easy to slip when held, making insertion and removal inconvenient and posing safety hazards such as burns and electric shock.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the conductive mechanism 9 includes a first retaining ring 901, a fixing frame 902, a second retaining ring 903, and two supports 904. The two supports 904 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903, respectively. The bottom of the bottom support 904 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, the bottom of the fixing frame 902 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the surface of the top support 904 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing frame 902. The pin body 5 is engaged between the interior of the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the front side of the negative power line 6 is electrically connected to the rear side of the first retaining ring 901, and the front side of the positive power line 7 is electrically connected to the rear side of the second retaining ring 903.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 902, and a temperature sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 12. The bottom of the temperature sensor 13 is in contact with the top of the pin body 5.

[0033] In this embodiment: the conductive mechanism 9 fixes the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903 to the bracket 904 and the fixing frame 902. The beryllium copper retaining rings ensure stable conductive contact of the pin body 5. It is electrically connected with the positive power line 7 and the negative power line 6 to form a detection circuit. The ammeter 10 monitors the current in real time to reflect the conductivity of the pin body 5. The temperature sensor 13 on the fixing frame 902 directly contacts the pin and can accurately detect abnormal heating, so as to realize the simultaneous detection of conductivity and safety hazards.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the base plate 1 are provided with sliding grooves 14, the slide 804 is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 14, and the front side of the pull plate 802 is fixedly connected with a pull ring 11.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, limit plates 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 1. The insulating baffle 3 is inserted between the limit plate 15 and the opposite side of the arc-shaped insulating plate 4. The first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903 are both located between the opposite side of the arc-shaped insulating plate 4 and the insulating baffle 3. The arc-shaped insulating plate 4 and the insulating baffle 3 are both made of glass fiber reinforced plastic.

[0036] In this embodiment: the slide 804 slides along the slide groove 14 to make the push of the pin body 5 more stable, the pull ring 11 is easy to operate, the limiting plate 15 cooperates with the arc-shaped insulating plate 4 to limit the insulating baffle 3 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, and wraps the conductive first retaining ring 901 and second retaining ring 903 to form a protective space. The arc-shaped insulating plate 4 and the insulating baffle 3 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic effectively isolate the live parts, improve the safety of operation, and avoid the risk of electric arc exposure.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the insulating baffle 3 has a notch 17 inside, and the fixing sleeve 801 and the support plate 803 are both located inside the notch 17. A pull block 16 is fixedly connected to the front side of the insulating baffle 3, and positioning blocks 2 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the base plate 1.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixed sleeve 801, pull plate 802, support plate 803, slide 804, pull ring 11, fixed frame 902, bracket 904 and base plate 1 are all made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903 are both made of beryllium copper.

[0039] In this embodiment: the notch 17 of the insulating baffle 3 avoids conflict with the fixing sleeve 801 and the support plate 803; the pull block 16 facilitates the insertion and removal of the insulating baffle 3; the positioning block 2 ensures the stable installation of the base plate 1; the fixing sleeve 801, pull plate 802, support plate 803, slide 804, pull ring 11, fixing frame 902, bracket 904 and base plate 1 made of polytetrafluoroethylene have excellent insulation; the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903 made of beryllium copper combine conductivity and elasticity, making it convenient to snap the pin body 5; the overall structure has low cost and reliable insulation, which is suitable for the low-cost testing needs of small manufacturers, and the operation is safe and convenient.

[0040] Working principle: The base plate 1, made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), serves as the primary support component. Positioning blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the base plate 1, facilitating the use of external bolts for fixation to the external testing platform. During testing, the pin body 5 is placed inside the PTFE-made fixing sleeve 801. The bottom of the pin body 5 contacts the top of the PTFE-made support plate 803. By holding the PTFE-made pull ring 11, the pull plate 802 is moved, causing the slide 804, whose bottom is fixedly connected to the support plate 803, to slide backward along the grooves 14 on both sides of the base plate 1. This pushes the pin body 5 between the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903, made of beryllium copper, and achieves engagement. The first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903... The retaining ring 903 is fixed by the bracket 904. The bottom bracket 904 is connected to the base plate 1, and the top bracket 904 is fixed to the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene fixing frame 902. The bottom of the fixing frame 902 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1 to ensure the stability of the conductive mechanism 9. After the pin body 5 is engaged, the glass fiber reinforced plastic insulating baffle 3 is inserted between the limiting plate 15 and the glass fiber reinforced plastic arc-shaped insulating plate 4 on the opposite side using the hand pull block 16. At this time, the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903 are located between the arc-shaped insulating plate 4 and the insulating baffle 3 to form a protective space. The fixing sleeve 801 and the support plate 803 are located within the notch 17 opened inside the insulating baffle 3 to avoid interference. By connecting the positive power line 7 and the negative power line 803, the conductive mechanism 9 can be connected to the base plate 1. The power supply line 6 is connected to the power source. The ammeter 10 installed inside the positive power line 7 is used to detect the circuit current. A temperature sensor 13 is installed on the support frame 12 fixed to the top of the mounting bracket 902. Its bottom contacts the top of the pin body 5 to monitor the temperature. The ammeter 10 can directly reflect the conductivity of the pin body 5 by observing the change in current. Temperature detection is necessary because if the pin has defects such as excessive contact resistance when a large current passes through, it will cause abnormal heating. Abnormal temperature can detect safety hazards in time. Through the good insulation of polytetrafluoroethylene material and glass fiber reinforced plastic, safe and stable detection of the high current pin body 5 of the charging gun is achieved. It is suitable for manufacturers of small charging guns with limited production costs to monitor the high current pin body 5. The high-current charging gun pin body 5 is tested for power-on. After the test is completed, the test power is turned off, the insulating baffle 3 is pulled up to remove it, and the pull ring 11 can be pulled forward to move the fixing sleeve 801 forward, which in turn moves the pin body 5 forward, disengaging the first retaining ring 901 and the second retaining ring 903, making it easy to disassemble the pin body 5. This solves the problem that some small-scale charging gun high-current pin manufacturers are limited by the high cost of automated testing equipment and still use the traditional method of manually inserting the high-current charging gun pin into the equipment for testing. During operation, it is necessary to manually align the pin with the socket, apply force to insert and pull it, and apply a high current. However, the high-current charging gun pins are mostly made of smooth and hard metal, which is easy to slip when held, making insertion and removal inconvenient and posing safety hazards such as burns and electric shock.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
