Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug bracket technology, specifically a novel high-current plug bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Anderson connectors are industrial connectors primarily used for high-current connections and battery charging, widely used in electric vehicles, sightseeing vehicles, forklifts, golf carts, etc. However, for charging these electric vehicles, existing high-current chargers mainly come in two types based on their charging plugs: standard Chinese chargers and REMA chargers. Both types of chargers are manufactured with only one type of charging plug. For different types of lithium battery packs, especially those in electric forklift power systems, there is a problem of incompatibility between the charging socket and the plug of the device being charged, causing significant inconvenience in practical use. Furthermore, because lithium battery packs draw a large current during charging, improper connection methods can easily lead to insufficient current during high-current charging and discharging, causing overheating, aging of the wire insulation, and even fire hazards.
[0003] Currently, high-current plugs generally use a fastener-fixed bracket connection for installation. However, this design has significant limitations in long-term use: on the one hand, the fasteners are susceptible to corrosion due to environmental factors, which directly makes the high-current plug difficult to disassemble, hindering subsequent maintenance; on the other hand, each time a high-current plug is replaced, special tools are required to disassemble and install the fasteners, which not only increases the number of steps but also significantly reduces overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel high-current plug bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 This is a schematic diagram of a novel high-current plug bracket according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the novel high-current plug bracket includes a mounting bracket 1, within which a plug socket 5 is installed. The mounting bracket 1 includes a mounting panel 2, a fixing base 3, and a snap-fit assembly 4. The mounting panel 2 has a flat plate structure with a connector 21 on its surface. The shape and size of the connector 21 are designed according to the compatible plug socket 5 to ensure that the plug socket 5 can be smoothly inserted. The rear surface of the mounting panel 2 is located at the connector 2. A fixing base 3 is fixedly connected at one point. The fixing base 3 is a block structure with a fixing port 31 inside that communicates with the connector 21. The shape and size of the fixing port 31 are adapted to the outer wall of the plug socket 5 to provide installation space for the plug socket 5. A snap fastener assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the fixing base 3. The outer wall of the plug socket 5 is provided with locking ridges 51 and locking openings 52 on the two side surfaces and the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. The plug socket 5 is installed inside the fixing port 31, and the plug socket 5 is locked by cooperating with the snap fastener assembly 4 through the locking ridges 51 and locking openings 52.
[0023] Specifically, during installation, the plug socket 5 is inserted into the front connector 21 of the mounting panel 2, and the plug socket 5 is gradually moved towards the fixing port 31. During the insertion process, the latching assembly 4 will undergo elastic deformation. Since the latching assembly 4 includes a first elastic latching strip 41 and a second elastic latching strip 42, the first elastic latching strip 41 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rear end face of the fixing base 3, and the second elastic latching strip 42 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the rear end face of the fixing base 3. When the plug socket 5 is inserted, the first elastic locking strip 41 and the second elastic locking strip 42 will open slightly to the sides and up and down respectively. As the plug socket 5 is further inserted, the inwardly bent locking plate 43 fixedly connected to the surface of the first elastic locking strip 41 will engage with the locking ridges 51 on both sides of the plug socket 5. The locking plate 43 will fit tightly against the locking ridges 51, playing a lateral limiting role. At the same time, the locking block 44 fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the second elastic locking strip 42 will engage with the locking openings 52 on the upper and lower surfaces of the plug socket 5, achieving longitudinal limiting. Thus, the plug socket 5 is firmly locked by the locking ridges 51 and locking openings 52 in cooperation with the buckle assembly 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, the latching assembly 4 includes a first elastic latching strip 41 and a second elastic latching strip 42. One end of the first elastic latching strip 41 is firmly welded to the left and right sides of the rear end face of the fixing base 3, and the other end is a free end. A latching plate 43, which is bent inward and locks in conjunction with the locking ridge 51, is fixedly connected to its surface. When the plug 5 is inserted into the fixing port 31 from the front end of the mounting panel 2, the latching plate 43 is squeezed by the locking ridge 51 of the plug 5, causing the first elastic latching strip 41 to undergo elastic deformation and generate an outward elastic force. When the plug 5 is inserted into place, the latching plate 43 and the locking ridge 51 fit tightly together. The elastic force of the first elastic latching strip 41 makes the latching plate 43 press tightly between the two locking ridges 51, preventing the plug 5 from shifting in the left and right directions. One end of the second elastic latching strip 42 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the rear end face of the fixing base 3, and the other end is a movable end. A latching block 44 that cooperates with the locking port 52 is fixedly connected to its inner wall surface. When the plug socket 5 is inserted, the locking block 44 is squeezed by the edge of the locking opening 52 of the plug socket 5, causing the second elastic locking strip 42 to undergo elastic deformation. After the plug socket 5 is fully inserted, the locking block 44 is locked into the locking opening 52, and the elastic force of the second elastic locking strip 42 makes the locking block 44 tightly locked in the locking opening 52, restricting the movement of the plug socket 5 in the vertical direction.
[0025] In this embodiment, an annular snap-fit plate 23 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the mounting panel 2 at the edge of the connector 21. The annular snap-fit plate 23 has a ring-shaped structure, with its inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the connector 21, and its outer diameter designed according to the size of the sealing sleeve 6. The sealing sleeve 6 is made of a material with good sealing performance, such as rubber, and has a snap-fit part at one end that is adapted to the annular snap-fit plate 23.
[0026] During installation, the snap-fit part of the sealing sleeve 6 is placed on the annular snap-fit plate 23, and a tight snap-fit is achieved through the interference fit between the two. The function of the sealing sleeve 6 is to protect the connector 21, prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the connector 21, and avoid corrosion or short circuits caused to the connector 21 and the plug socket 5.
[0027] In this embodiment, mounting holes 22 are provided on both sides of the connector 21 on the surface of the mounting panel 2. The mounting holes 22 are circular through holes, and their diameter is selected according to the size of the mounting bolts used. When installing the entire plug bracket onto the equipment, the plug bracket is fixedly installed by passing the bolts through the mounting holes 22 and tightening them with the corresponding threaded holes on the equipment.
[0028] In this embodiment, the mounting panel 2, the fixing base 3, and the snap-fit assembly 4 adopt a one-piece molding structure design, that is, these three parts are manufactured in one piece through processes such as injection molding or die casting. This one-piece molding structure eliminates the connection gaps between the mounting panel 2, the fixing base 3, and the snap-fit assembly 4, resulting in higher structural stability compared to traditional spliced structures.
[0029] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
