Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of electronic technology, and in particular relates to a terminal bracket, a connector gun, and a connector for connecting to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] A plug-in gun is an electronic device used in new energy vehicles. It can be connected to the charging port of a new energy vehicle to perform charging or discharging functions.

[0003] In related technologies, the connector gun has a terminal bracket inside the gun head to support the terminals. During the operation of the connector gun, heat is generated at the terminals, and a temperature sensor is installed inside the gun head to monitor the temperature at the terminals.

[0004] However, the distance between the temperature sensor and the terminal is relatively large, and there is a terminal bracket between them, which results in a high delay in temperature monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides a terminal bracket, a connector gun, and a connector for connecting to a vehicle, which can effectively improve and reduce temperature monitoring delay. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a terminal bracket, including a disk body, terminal sockets, and sensor sockets;

[0007] Both the terminal socket and the sensor socket are located on the disk body and extend through opposite sides of the disk body. The terminal socket and the sensor socket are adjacent to each other and are connected to each other.

[0008] In one implementation of this disclosure, a channel is provided between the terminal socket and the sensor socket;

[0009] The terminal socket and the sensor socket are connected through the channel.

[0010] In another implementation of this disclosure, the channel is an elongated through hole, and the length direction of the channel is consistent with the depth direction of the terminal socket and the sensor socket.

[0011] In another implementation of this disclosure, the terminal bracket further includes a terminal insert and a sensor insert;

[0012] Both the terminal insert and the sensor insert are located on the same side of the disk body and are connected to the disk body respectively. The end of the terminal insert is connected to the terminal socket, and the end of the sensor insert is connected to the sensor socket.

[0013] In another implementation of this disclosure, the terminal plug and the outer wall of the sensor plug are connected;

[0014] The channel passes through the walls of the terminal insert and the sensor insert respectively, so that the channel connects the terminal insert and the sensor insert.

[0015] In another implementation of this disclosure, the channel is an elongated through hole, and the length direction of the channel is consistent with the length direction of the terminal insert and the sensor insert.

[0016] In another implementation of this disclosure, the length of the channel is less than the length of the terminal insert and the length of the sensor insert.

[0017] In another implementation of this disclosure, the terminal bracket further includes a limiting member;

[0018] The limiting member is located at the end of the sensor socket, and the limiting member is connected to the wall of the sensor socket.

[0019] In another implementation of this disclosure, the limiting member is an annular structure, the outer wall of the limiting member is connected to the wall of the sensor socket, and the inner diameter of the limiting member is smaller than the inner diameter of the sensor socket.

[0020] In a second aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a plug-in gun, including: a gun head housing, terminals, a temperature sensor, and the terminal bracket described in the first aspect;

[0021] The terminal bracket is located inside the gun head housing;

[0022] The terminal is inserted into the terminal socket;

[0023] The temperature sensor is plugged into the sensor socket.

[0024] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a plug-in device for connecting to a vehicle, including the plug-in gun described in the second aspect.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure are:

[0026] The terminal bracket provided in this embodiment can be used in a connector gun. The terminal bracket includes a disc body and terminal sockets and sensor sockets located on the disc body. The terminal sockets are used to insert the connector gun's terminals, and the sensor sockets are used to insert the connector gun's temperature sensor. Because the terminal sockets and sensor sockets are adjacent, the distance between the terminals and the temperature sensor is relatively short. Furthermore, because the terminal sockets and sensor sockets are interconnected, heat transfer between the terminals and the temperature sensor is not isolated.

[0027] In other words, the terminal bracket provided in this embodiment can provide a mounting base for the terminal and the temperature sensor. On the one hand, it makes the distance between the terminal and the temperature sensor closer, and on the other hand, it ensures that there is no isolation in the heat transfer between the terminal and the temperature sensor. Through these two points, the delay in temperature monitoring is effectively reduced. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 For a schematic diagram of the connector provided in this disclosure, see [link to schematic diagram]. Figure 1 The plug-in gun includes a head housing 100 and a body housing 500. The head housing 100 and the body housing 500 are detachably connected.

[0047] Figure 2 This is a partial exploded view of the insertion gun, combined with... Figure 2 In this embodiment, the connector gun also includes a terminal 200, a temperature sensor 300, and a terminal bracket 400. The terminal bracket 400 is located inside the gun head housing 100, and both the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300 are inserted into the terminal bracket 400.

[0048] In the above implementation, the terminal bracket 400 is used to provide a mounting base for the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300 (see [link]). Figure 3 Terminal 200 is used for electrical connection with the charging port of new energy vehicles, and temperature sensor 300 is used to monitor the temperature of terminal 200.

[0049] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the terminal bracket, combined with... Figure 4 In this embodiment, the terminal bracket includes a disk body 10, a terminal socket 20, and a sensor socket 30. The terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 are both located on the disk body 10 and extend through opposite sides of the disk body 10. The terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 are adjacent to each other and are connected to each other.

[0050] The terminal bracket provided in this embodiment can be applied to a connector gun. The terminal bracket includes a disc 10, and terminal sockets 20 and sensor sockets 30 located on the disc 10. The terminal sockets 20 are used to insert terminals 200 of the connector gun, and the sensor sockets 30 are used to insert temperature sensors 300 of the connector gun. Because the terminal sockets 20 and 30 are adjacent, the distance between the terminals 200 and the temperature sensors 300 is relatively short. Furthermore, because the terminal sockets 20 and 30 are connected, heat transfer between the terminals 200 and the temperature sensors 300 is not isolated.

[0051] In other words, the terminal bracket provided in this embodiment can provide a mounting base for the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300. On the one hand, it makes the distance between the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300 closer, and on the other hand, it ensures that there is no isolation in the heat transfer between the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300. Through these two points, the delay in temperature monitoring is effectively reduced.

[0052] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, a channel 40 is provided between the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30, and the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 are connected through the channel 40.

[0053] In the above implementation, the channel 40 is opened inside the disk body 10 and is located between the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30. The channel 40 is connected to the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 respectively, thereby realizing the mutual connection between the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30.

[0054] When terminal 200 heats up, hot air can be transmitted through channel 40 to temperature sensor 300 inside sensor socket 30, so that temperature sensor 300 can quickly sense the temperature change.

[0055] It is worth noting that although the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 are interconnected, the terminal 200 located in the terminal socket 20 and the temperature sensor 300 located in the sensor socket 30 are independent of each other. The terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300 do not directly contact each other, nor do they indirectly contact each other through solid heat-conducting media such as heat-conducting fillers, thus ensuring that there is no mutual interference between them.

[0056] In this embodiment, channel 40 is an elongated through hole, and the length direction of channel 40 is consistent with the depth direction of terminal socket 20 and sensor socket 30.

[0057] For example, both the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 are round holes. The depth direction of the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30 is the direction in which the terminal 200 is inserted and the direction in which the temperature sensor 300 is inserted, which is also the axial direction of the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30.

[0058] In the above implementation, the channel 40 is designed as a long strip through hole, which can effectively increase the connection area between the terminal socket 20 and the sensor socket 30, thereby facilitating heat transfer.

[0059] Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the terminal bracket. Figure 5 The perspective is Figure 4 A-direction perspective, combined Figure 5 In this embodiment, the terminal bracket further includes a terminal insert 50 and a sensor insert 60. The terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60 are both located on the same side of the disk body 10 and are respectively connected to the disk body 10. The end of the terminal insert 50 is connected to the terminal socket 20, and the end of the sensor insert 60 is connected to the sensor socket 30.

[0060] In the above implementation, the terminal sleeve 50 is used to accommodate the terminal 200, and the sensor sleeve 60 is used to accommodate the temperature sensor 300. Since the terminal sleeve 50 and the terminal socket 20 are connected, the internal space of the terminal sleeve 50 can be considered as a continuation of the terminal socket 20. Correspondingly, since the sensor sleeve 60 is connected to the sensor socket 30, the internal space of the sensor sleeve 60 can be considered as a continuation of the sensor socket 30. That is to say, the terminal 200 can be inserted into both the terminal sleeve 50 and the terminal socket 20 simultaneously, and the temperature sensor 300 can be inserted into both the sensor sleeve 60 and the sensor socket 30 simultaneously.

[0061] For example, the terminal sleeve 50 and the terminal socket 20 are arranged coaxially, and the sensor sleeve 60 and the sensor socket 30 are arranged coaxially.

[0062] This design facilitates the insertion of the terminal 200 and the temperature sensor 300.

[0063] See also Figure 5 In this embodiment, the outer walls of the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60 are connected, and the channel 40 passes through the cylinder walls of the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60 respectively, so that the channel 40 connects the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60.

[0064] In the above implementation, the channel 40 is opened at the connection between the cylinder wall of the terminal plug 50 and the cylinder wall of the sensor plug 60. The channel 40 is connected to the internal space of the terminal plug 50 and the internal space of the sensor plug 60, thereby realizing the mutual communication between the internal space of the terminal plug 50 and the internal space of the sensor plug 60.

[0065] For example, channel 40 is an elongated through hole, and the length direction of channel 40 is consistent with the length direction of terminal plug 50 and sensor plug 60.

[0066] In the above implementation, the channel 40 is designed as a long strip through hole, which can effectively increase the connection area between the terminal plug 50 and the sensor plug 60, thereby facilitating heat transfer.

[0067] In this embodiment, the length of channel 40 is less than the length of terminal insert 50 and sensor insert 60.

[0068] In the above implementation, since the length of the channel 40 is less than the length of the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60, the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60 are partially connected by their cylindrical walls and are not completely penetrated by the channel 40, which effectively ensures the structural stability of the terminal insert 50 and the sensor insert 60.

[0069] For example, the first end of the terminal sleeve 50 is connected to the terminal socket 20, and the second end of the terminal sleeve 50 is away from the terminal socket 20. One end of the channel 40 in the longitudinal direction is located at the terminal socket 20, and the other end of the channel 40 in the longitudinal direction extends away from the terminal socket 20 until it extends to the second end of the terminal sleeve 50.

[0070] See you again Figure 5 In this embodiment, the terminal bracket also includes a limiting member 70, which is located at the end of the sensor socket 30 and is connected to the hole wall of the sensor socket 30.

[0071] In the above implementation, the limiting member 70 is set at the end of the sensor socket 30, which can limit the temperature sensor 300 inserted in the sensor socket 30.

[0072] During the installation of temperature sensor 300, the end of temperature sensor 300 connected to the cable is inserted into the second end of sensor insert 60 until that end of temperature sensor 300 abuts against limiting member 70, and the cable of temperature sensor 300 can pass through the space between limiting member 70 and the hole wall of sensor insert 30.

[0073] In this embodiment, the limiting member 70 is an annular structure. The outer wall of the limiting member 70 is connected to the hole wall of the sensor socket 30, and the inner diameter of the limiting member 70 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sensor socket 30.

[0074] In the above implementation, the limiting member 70 is set as a ring-shaped structure, so that the end face of the ring-shaped structure can abut against the temperature sensor 300, thereby ensuring the contact area and improving the stability of the limiting. In addition, the inner hole of the ring-shaped structure can facilitate the insertion of the cable of the temperature sensor 300.

[0075] For example, the ring-shaped structural component can be a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a square ring, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0076] In other embodiments, the limiting member 70 is a long strip-shaped plate structure. The two ends of the plate structure are connected to the hole wall of the sensor socket 30, respectively. The temperature sensor 300 abuts against one plate surface of the plate structure, and the cable of the temperature sensor 300 passes between the plate structure and the hole wall of the sensor socket 30.

[0077] This disclosure provides a plug-in device for connecting to a vehicle. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the connector that connects to the vehicle. Figure 6 The plug-in device that connects to the vehicle includes Figure 1 The plug-in gun shown includes... Figures 2-5 The terminal bracket shown.

[0078] Because the plug-in device for connecting to the vehicle includes Figures 2-5 The terminal bracket shown indicates that the plug-in device for connecting to the vehicle has... Figures 2-5 The full benefits of the terminal bracket shown will not be elaborated here.

[0079] In this embodiment, the plug-in device for connecting to the vehicle further includes a cable 600, a plug 700, and a power supply device 800. The cable 600 is connected to both the plug gun and the plug 700, and the plug 700 can be connected to the power supply device 800.
