[0038] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a charging connector with a button is provided, which mainly consists of a male connector body 2, a female connector 9, a shaft pin 3, an unlock button 4, a compression spring 5, a cable 7, a pin 6, and an outer rubber coating 8.

[0039] The end of the cable 7 is connected to multiple pins 6. The male connector body 2 has multiple pin holes, including L1 pin hole 2-1, PE pin hole 2-2, N pin hole 2-3, T pin hole 2-4, M pin hole 2-5, G pin hole 2-6, CP pin hole 2-7, L2 pin hole 2-8 and L3 pin hole 2-9.

[0040] The multiple pins 6 of the cable 7 are inserted into the multiple pin holes of the male connector body 2 one by one, and the assembly between the cable 7 and the male connector body 2 is wrapped with rubber 8.

[0041] The unlocking button 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the male connector body 2. Specifically, the side wall of the male connector body 2 has a groove 2-12, and a slot 2-11 is formed within the groove 2-12. The unlocking button 4 is rotatably mounted in the groove 2-12 on the side wall of the male connector body 2 via a pin 3. One end of the unlocking button 4 abuts against or separates from the female connector 9, and the other end of the unlocking button 4 abuts against a compression spring 5, which is located within the slot 2-11. The side wall of the male connector body 2 has a pin hole 2-10, and the unlocking button 4 has a pin hole 4-1. The pin 3 passes through the pin hole 2-10 and the pin hole 4-1. One end of the unlocking button 4 near the side of the groove 2-12 has a latch 4-2, and the other end has a limit post 4-3. The limit post 4-3 is sleeved with the compression spring 5, and the latch 4-2 engages with the slot 9-1 on the female connector 9.

[0042] The male connector body 2 is fitted onto the female connector 9. One end of the unlocking button 4 abuts against the female connector 9 to lock it in place. After the female connector 9 is fitted into the male connector body 2 and locked, a sealing ring 1 is provided between the end of the female connector 9 and the male connector body 2. The sealing ring 1 is placed in the male connector body 2 through a groove 2-13. The female connector 9 has multiple pinhole matching blocks, which are inserted into the pinholes and engage with the pins 6 one-to-one. The middle position of the female connector 9 is set as a syringe 10, and the main pin 6 in the middle of the pins 6 engages with the syringe 10.

[0043] The working process of this embodiment will be further described below:

[0044] Insert the compression spring 5 into the slot 2-11 of the male connector body 2, then align the limiting post 4-3 of the unlock button 4 with the compression spring 5 and insert it into the groove 2-12 of the male connector body 2, and insert the shaft pin 3 into the shaft pin hole 2-10 of the male connector body 2 and the shaft pin hole 4-1 of the unlock button 4; then insert the sealing ring 1 into the groove 2-13 of the male connector body 2.

[0045] The assembled pins 6 and cables 7 are inserted into the nine pin holes of the male connector body 2. After assembly, the semi-finished product is wrapped with rubber 8.

[0046] When charging and discharging are required, insert the male connector body 2 and the female connector 9. At this time, you will hear a "click" sound (that is, the latch 4-2 and the slot 9-1 are locked). The unlock button 4 is reset, the male connector body 2 is locked, and the male connector body 2 and the female connector 9 are sealed by the compression sealing ring 1.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model using the disclosed methods and techniques, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of this utility model without departing from its technical solution should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
