Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sockets, and more particularly to a socket assembly for vehicles and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, vehicle-mounted discharge systems typically connect the socket directly to a high-voltage power source and rely on the vehicle's start-stop status to control the socket's power supply. When the vehicle is powered on, the socket's power is directly connected via a relay; when the vehicle is turned off, the power is forcibly cut off. However, this solution lacks the ability to detect the socket's load status in real time. The system can only determine power demand through mechanical switches or manual operation, resulting in the socket remaining energized even when no equipment is connected, causing energy waste and low energy efficiency. Furthermore, the prolonged energization of the socket leads to contact oxidation, leakage risks, and potential safety hazards from accidental contact. Therefore, improving the safety of vehicle-mounted sockets has become the technical problem addressed in this application. Utility Model Content

[0005] According to the embodiments of this application, the vehicle socket assembly has a trigger device disposed in the second cavity. The trigger element on the trigger device is movable in the insertion direction of the pin. When cooperating with the pin, the socket is energized only when the pin is inserted into the socket and drives the trigger element to move in the insertion direction of the pin to trigger the micro switch 3. This avoids continuous energization when there is no load, reducing energy waste and the risk of contact oxidation. At the same time, the socket is not energized when the pin is not inserted or removed, eliminating the risk of accidental human contact and effectively improving the safety of the vehicle socket.

[0012] The socket assembly for a vehicle according to some embodiments of this application further includes: a safety door, wherein multiple safety doors are configured, and adjacent safety doors are connected by an elastic member. The safety door is provided with a slide corresponding to the second insertion hole. In the unplugged state, the safety door faces the second insertion hole.

[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 A socket assembly 100 for a vehicle is described according to an embodiment of this application.

[0021] According to an embodiment of this application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a housing 1, a sleeve 2, a micro switch 3, and a triggering device 4. A partition 11 is provided inside the housing 1, dividing the interior of the housing 1 into a first cavity 12 and a second cavity 13. The sleeve 2 is disposed on the partition 11 and located in the first cavity 12. A first insertion hole 21 suitable for insertion with a pin is formed on the sleeve 2. The micro switch 3 is disposed in the second cavity 13 and is adapted to connect to a discharge device to selectively control the discharge device to be turned on or off. The triggering device 4 is disposed in the second cavity 13 and located between the sleeve 2 and the micro switch 3. The triggering device 4 is provided with a movable trigger member 42, which is movably disposed in the insertion direction of the pin. At least a portion of the trigger member 42 extends to the bottom of the sleeve 2. The trigger member 42 is adapted to move in the insertion direction of the pin after the pin is inserted into or removed from the sleeve 2, thereby triggering the micro switch 3 and controlling the discharge device to be turned on or off.

[0022] It is understandable that the socket 2 is located in the first cavity 12, and the trigger element 42 of the triggering device 4 extends to the bottom of the socket 2. The trigger element 42 is movable in the insertion direction of the pin. When the pin is not inserted, the trigger element 42 is in the initial position and cannot touch the micro switch 3. When the pin is inserted into the socket 2, the bottom of the pin will directly act on the trigger element 42, pushing the trigger element 42 towards the micro switch 3. At the same time, the micro switch 3 is connected to the discharge device. The on / off state of the micro switch 3 directly determines whether the discharge device supplies power. When the pin is not inserted, the trigger element 42 does not touch the micro switch 3, the discharge device is in the off state, and the socket has no voltage output. Only when the pin is inserted into the bottom of the socket 2, the trigger element 42 is pushed to the position that touches the micro switch 3, and the circuit will be connected, thus avoiding energy waste and contact issues. The long-term energization causes risks of oxidation and leakage. At the same time, since the trigger device 4 is built into the housing 1 and only mechanically connected to the end of the pin, the trigger device 4 is isolated from the external environment. This avoids the problem of accidental power-on caused by foreign object collision or human error when the trigger device 4 is external. The socket will only be energized after the pin is inserted into the bottom of the socket 2 and the trigger 42 pushes the micro switch 3 to conduct. This effectively avoids the danger of electric shock caused by human error in touching the energized contacts. The dual-cavity structure is isolated by the partition 11. The socket 2 in the first cavity 12 and the micro switch 3 and trigger device 4 in the second cavity 13 are physically separated to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from affecting the electrical components. Even if the socket 2 is worn or has other faults, the fault can be prevented from spreading and affecting the normal operation of the micro switch 3, further ensuring electrical safety.

[0023] In short, by setting the trigger device 4 inside the second cavity 13, the trigger element 42 on the trigger device 4 is movable in the insertion direction of the pin. When cooperating with the pin, the micro switch 3 is only energized when the pin is inserted into the socket 2 and drives the trigger element 42 to move in the insertion direction of the pin. This avoids continuous energization when there is no load, reducing energy waste and the risk of contact oxidation. At the same time, the socket is not energized when the pin is not inserted or removed, eliminating the risk of accidental human contact and effectively improving the safety of the vehicle socket.

[0024] According to some embodiments of this application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle includes a triggering device 4 comprising a base 41 disposed within a second cavity 13, a guide portion 411 formed on the base 41, a trigger member 42 cooperating with the guide portion 411 and moving in the insertion direction of the pin, the trigger member 42 being provided with a first abutting portion 421 extending into the socket 2 and a second abutting portion 422 for cooperating with a micro switch 3.

[0025] A guide portion 411 is provided on the base 41. The trigger 42 cooperates with the guide portion 411 to move along the insertion direction of the pin, ensuring that the action of the trigger 42 is controlled by the insertion and removal of the pin, avoiding false triggering caused by unexpected external forces such as vehicle bumps or external collisions. The first abutment portion 421 of the trigger 42 extends into the sleeve 2 and directly contacts the bottom of the pin; the second abutment portion 422 corresponds to the micro switch 3. When the pin is inserted, the first abutment portion 421 receives the thrust of the pin, transmits it along the guide portion 411 and converts it into axial displacement of the trigger 42, thereby pushing the second abutment portion 422 to touch the micro switch 3, realizing circuit conduction; after the pin is removed, the trigger 42 loses the thrust, resets to its original position, and the micro switch 3 disconnects the circuit.

[0026] According to some embodiments of the present application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle has a guide portion 411 configured as a guide hole formed in a base 41, a trigger member 42 having a guide post 423 for engaging with the guide hole, the guide hole extending in the insertion direction and the guide post 423 being movably disposed in the extension direction of the guide hole; a first abutment portion 421 is disposed on the top of the guide post 423 and extends in the same direction as the extension direction of the guide post 423, and a second abutment portion 422 protrudes from the side surface of the guide post 423.

[0027] The guide hole and guide post 423 form a sliding structure, limiting the trigger 42 to move only axially, preventing the trigger 42 from wobbling or shifting radially. The cylindrical surface of the guide post 423 forms a surface contact with the inner wall of the guide hole, resulting in a large contact area and uniform force distribution, preventing jamming. The first abutment part 421 is located at the top of the guide post 423 and can be coaxial with the bottom of the pin, ensuring that the pin insertion force is directly transmitted axially to the trigger 42. The second abutment part 422 is located on the side of the guide post 423, corresponding to the position of the micro switch 3. The micro switch 3 is activated by the axial displacement of the trigger 42. At the same time, the presence of the first abutment part 421 and the second abutment part 422 improves the contact effect with the pin and the micro switch 3, avoiding the risk of the trigger 42 slipping off from the pin and the micro switch 3, and improving the stability of the circuit conduction of the socket assembly 100.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, a spring 412 is provided in the guide hole, which can be used to reset the trigger device 4.

[0029] According to some embodiments of this application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle has a housing 1 with multiple sets of second insertion holes 14, and multiple plug sleeves 2 are constructed. The first insertion hole 21 of the plug sleeve 2 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each set of second insertion holes 14. Multiple guide holes and multiple triggers 42 are formed on the base 41, and each trigger 42 corresponds to one plug sleeve 2. The second abutting portions 422 of two adjacent triggers 42 extend toward each other and overlap.

[0030] Multiple sets of second insertion holes 14 on the housing 1 correspond one-to-one with multiple sockets 2. Each socket 2 is provided with a corresponding first insertion hole 21. Multiple guide holes and triggers 42 provided on the base 41 also match the sockets 2 one-to-one, ensuring that the load connection state of each socket 2 does not interfere with each other. When a socket 2 is inserted with a pin, only the corresponding trigger 42 is activated. The second abutment portions 422 of two adjacent triggers 42 extend toward each other and overlap. When any pin is inserted into the corresponding socket 2 and pushes the trigger 42 to move, the displacement of the trigger 42 will be transmitted to the adjacent trigger 42 through the overlapping second abutment portions 422, realizing the synchronous action of multiple triggers 42, thereby triggering the micro switch 3 and controlling the discharge device to conduct. This prevents the micro switch 3 from being triggered normally due to the failure of a trigger 42 due to wear, jamming, or other reasons. The adjacent trigger 42 that is overlapped with it can still be connected through the second abutment portions 422, thus preventing the entire socket assembly 100 from failing due to a single point of failure. According to some embodiments of this application, in a vehicle socket assembly 100, in two adjacent triggers 42, the edge of the second abutment portion 422 of one of them is formed with a mating notch 4221, and the edge of the second abutment portion 422 of the other is formed with a mating protrusion 4222 that engages with the notch.

[0031] The second abutment portions 422 of two adjacent triggers 42 are engaged with the mating protrusions 4222 through a mating notch 4221. When any pin is inserted into the corresponding sleeve 2 to push the trigger 42 to move, the mating protrusion 4222 of its second abutment portion 422 will embed into the mating notch 4221 of the adjacent trigger 42. Through mechanical engagement, the displacement is transmitted to the adjacent trigger 42, realizing the synchronous linkage of multiple triggers 42 and jointly triggering the micro switch 3. At the same time, this engagement structure also prevents the trigger 42 from rotating: the engagement of the notch and the protrusion restricts the circumferential degree of freedom of the trigger 42, which can only move linearly along the pin insertion direction under the constraint of the guide hole.

[0032] According to some embodiments of this application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle has a base 41 with a positioning groove 413 for accommodating a micro switch 3, the positioning groove 413 being located between two adjacent triggers 42.

[0033] The positioning groove 413 on the base 41 is used to accommodate the micro switch 3 and is located between two adjacent triggers 42. The second abutment part 422 only needs to move within a short distance to touch the micro switch 3 located in the middle, reducing the loss in the force transmission path. At the same time, the positioning groove 413 forms a physical limit on the micro switch 3, restricting its displacement under conditions such as vehicle vibration and bumps, preventing loosening or displacement due to vehicle vibration, and preventing circuit failure caused by poor contact of the micro switch 3. At the same time, it makes the linkage between the trigger 42 and the micro switch 3 tighter, making it difficult for foreign objects to invade the critical area between them, reducing trigger failure problems caused by environmental factors, and ensuring the reliable operation of the socket assembly 100 in complex vehicle environments.

[0034] The socket assembly 100 for a vehicle according to some embodiments of this application further includes an insulating plate 5 disposed in a first cavity 12, wherein a through hole 51 is formed on the insulating plate 5 and the through hole 51 is located between a first insertion hole 21 and a second insertion hole 14 in the insertion direction.

[0035] An insulating plate 5 is disposed within the first cavity 12, and a through hole 51 is located on the insertion path between the first insertion hole 21 and the second insertion hole 14. This makes the insulating plate 5 an essential device during the insertion of the pin, forcing the pin to connect with the sleeve 2 through the through hole 51, while simultaneously physically isolating the sleeve 2 from the outside world. This ensures that live parts are not directly exposed. When the pin is not inserted, the insulating plate 5 completely covers the live area of ​​the sleeve 2, blocking the possibility of direct contact between the human body or foreign objects and the sleeve 2, thus avoiding the risk of electric shock. During insertion, the guiding effect of the through hole 51 ensures that the pin accurately connects with the sleeve 2, preventing abnormal discharge caused by misalignment. The electric arc generated at the moment of insertion and removal of the pin is confined within the first cavity 12 by the insulating plate 5, preventing the arc from spreading to the outside and causing a fire or short circuit, thus ensuring the electrical safety of the vehicle. The insulating plate 5 also prevents leakage due to aging of the sleeve 2 or damage from external forces. The high insulation performance of the insulating plate 5 can prevent current from being conducted to the housing 1 or other components, reducing the safety hazards caused by leakage.

[0036] The socket assembly 100 for a vehicle according to some embodiments of this application further includes a safety door 6. The safety door 6 is configured as a plurality of safety doors, and two adjacent safety doors 6 are connected by an elastic member 61. The safety door 6 is provided with a slide rail 62 corresponding to the second insertion hole 14. In the unplugged state, the safety door 6 is directly opposite the second insertion hole 14. During the plugging process, the slide rail 62 is adapted to contact the pin to drive the safety door 6 to avoid the second insertion hole 14.

[0037] Multiple safety doors 6 are connected to each other by elastic members 61. Each safety door 6 is provided with a slide rail 62 corresponding to the second insertion hole 14. In the uninserted state, the safety door 6 blocks the second insertion hole 14, isolating it from external contact. When the pin is inserted, the pin slides along the slide rail 62, and the inclined or protruding structure pushes the safety door 6 to overcome the resistance of the elastic member 61 and move it, thereby avoiding the second insertion hole 14 and allowing the pin to smoothly enter the internal sleeve 2. After the pin is pulled out, the elastic member 61 resets, and the safety door 6 re-closes the second insertion hole 14. When not inserted, the safety door 6 completely covers the second insertion hole 14, and fingers, metal objects, etc. cannot directly contact the internal live parts, greatly reducing the risk of electric shock. Even if the external force accidentally touches it, the safety door 6 can remain closed under the action of the elastic member 61. Safety door 6 forms a physical barrier to prevent foreign objects such as dust, sand, and liquid from entering the socket through the second plug hole 14, avoiding malfunctions such as poor contact and short circuits caused by the accumulation of impurities, and ensuring stable operation of the socket in complex vehicle environments.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, a socket assembly 100 for a vehicle further includes a control board 7, a plurality of sockets 2 respectively connected to the control board 7, the control board 7 being located in a first cavity 12, a light-emitting element 71 being provided on the control board 7, an indicator light mounting hole 15 being formed on the housing 1, and a light guide 8 being provided in the indicator light mounting hole 15 and having its end abutting against the light-emitting element 71.

[0039] The control board 7 is located in the first cavity 12 and is electrically connected to multiple sockets 2. It can display information such as the load connection and power-on status of each socket 2 in real time. The light-emitting element 71 on the control board 7 serves as a signal output terminal and can emit light of corresponding color or flashing frequency according to different working states. The light guide 8 is installed in the indicator light mounting hole 15 of the housing 1, with one end in close contact with the light-emitting element 71 and the other end exposed on the surface of the housing 1. Through the internal reflection principle, the light generated by the light-emitting element 71 is efficiently transmitted to the outside, realizing status visualization. It can be understood that when the pin is inserted into the corresponding socket 2, the control board 7 detects the load connection signal and triggers the light-emitting element 71 to light up. The light is transmitted to the outside through the light guide 8. The user can quickly confirm that the device has been successfully connected without opening the vehicle system interface. When not inserted, the light-emitting element 71 is off or displays a specific color, which makes it easy for the user to judge the idle status of the socket. During the power supply of the socket 2, the light-emitting element 71 continuously emits light. If there is an abnormal power outage, the light-emitting element 71 will turn off or change color to remind the user that the power supply has been interrupted, so as to avoid damage to the equipment due to unexpected power outages, and at the same time assist in troubleshooting circuit faults.

The socket assembly 100 is energized only when the plug is inserted, and is in a de-energized state when not inserted or pulled out, thus avoiding the risk of accidental contact with live contacts. At the same time, it reduces oxidation and leakage problems caused by long-term contact energization, reducing potential electrical fault hazards. In addition, the assembly can effectively avoid the waste of power caused by the socket being continuously energized when no equipment is connected. The vehicle does not need to consume extra power for idle sockets, optimizes the energy management of the whole vehicle, and extends the driving range of the vehicle to a certain extent.
