[0019] The embodiments of this utility model 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 utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 The present invention describes a charging socket 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be installed in a vehicle.

[0021] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the charging socket 1, as shown in the example Figures 1-8 As shown, the charging socket 1 may include: a socket body 10, a power terminal 20, a temperature sensor 30, and a heat-conducting structure 40. The power terminal 20 is disposed on the socket body 10. The temperature sensor 30 includes a temperature detection end 31, which is disposed on the socket body 10. The heat-conducting structure 40 is sleeved on the temperature detection end 31. The heat-conducting structure 40 is in contact with both the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31, and the heat-conducting structure 40 is thermally conductively engaged with both the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31.

[0022] It should be noted that the charging socket of a new energy vehicle generates a lot of heat during the charging process. Temperature sensors are generally used to monitor the heating of the charging socket. The temperature sensor and the power terminal of the existing charging socket are separated by plastic to improve insulation, but this will affect the heat transfer efficiency between the power terminal and the temperature sensor, which will reduce the accuracy of the temperature sensor in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal. When the temperature of the power terminal is too high, the temperature sensor cannot provide feedback in time, which will affect the charging safety of the vehicle.

[0023] Based on this, this application proposes a charging socket 1. The charging socket 1 may include a socket body 10, and a power terminal 20 may be disposed on the socket body 10. The power terminal 20 may be fixed to the socket body 10 by means of snap-fit, bolt connection, etc. During the charging process of the charging socket 1, the power terminal 20 generates a large amount of heat due to the high voltage and high current. A temperature sensor 30 may be arranged near the power terminal 20, and the temperature sensor 30 may be used to monitor the temperature change of the power terminal 20 during the charging process. The temperature sensor 30 may include a temperature detection end 31, which may be used to monitor the temperature change of the power terminal 20. The temperature detection end 31 may be disposed on the socket body 10, and the temperature detection end 31 may be disposed on the socket body 10 by means of snap-fit, etc. The heat-conducting structure 40 can be sleeved on the temperature detection end 31. The heat-conducting structure 40 can have good thermal conductivity. The heat-conducting structure 40 can be arranged around the temperature detection end 31 in the circumferential direction. The heat-conducting structure 40 can be in contact with both the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31. The heat-conducting structure 40 can be thermally connected with both the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31, which is beneficial to the effect of transferring the heat released by the power terminal 20 to the temperature detection end 31 through the heat-conducting structure 40. Thus, the temperature sensor 30 can be used to monitor the temperature change of the power terminal 20.

[0024] In this embodiment, by setting the heat-conducting structure 40 to make contact with both the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31 for heat transfer, it is beneficial to improve the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, and to improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20. When the temperature of the power terminal 20 is too high, the temperature sensor 30 can promptly report the status of the power terminal 20, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the charging socket 1.

[0025] As an example, the thermally conductive structure 40 can be made of thermally conductive silicone, ceramic or other materials. The thermally conductive structure 40 can have good thermal conductivity and insulation. The thermally conductive structure 40 can protect the temperature detection terminal 31, which helps to reduce the probability of the temperature detection terminal 31 being broken down by the high voltage of the power terminal 20, which helps to extend the service life of the temperature sensor 30, and further improves the reliability of the charging socket 1.

[0026] As an example, temperature sensor 30 can be used to monitor temperature changes of power terminal 20 during charging. Temperature sensor 30 can be an NCT (Negative Temperature Coefficient). Temperature sensor 30 can also have a wire 32, and temperature detection end 31 can be connected to the wire 32. When temperature detection end 31 is provided in socket body 10, the arrangement direction of temperature detection end 31 and wire 32 can be parallel to the axial direction of power terminal 20. Temperature detection end 31 can include temperature detection chip and fixing structure 311. Temperature detection chip can be connected to wire 32, and fixing structure 311 can wrap temperature detection chip and the connection part between temperature detection chip and wire 32, so that temperature detection end 31 and wire 32 are constructed as an integral structure, which helps to improve the integrity of temperature sensor 30. Fixing structure 311 can be made of fixing adhesive.

[0027] As an example, along the arrangement direction of the temperature sensing terminal 31 and the wire 32, the distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 is L3, satisfying the relationship: 0.5mm ≤ L3 ≤ 1mm. Exemplarily, the distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 can be 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, etc. The distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 can be within the range of 0.5mm to 1mm. Any value, including the endpoint value, is an optional distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 in this invention. If the distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 is less than 0.5mm, the protective effect of the fixing structure 311 on the temperature sensing chip is affected. If the distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature sensing terminal 31 is greater than 1mm, the ability of the temperature sensing chip to detect the temperature of the power terminal is affected. Therefore, the distance between the end of the fixing structure 311 and the corresponding end of the temperature detection end 31 is between 0.5mm and 1mm, which is beneficial to improve the protection effect of the fixing structure 311 on the temperature detection chip while ensuring the ability of the temperature detection chip to detect the temperature of the power terminal.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the heat-conducting structure 40 defines a mounting groove 41 with one end open, at least a portion of the temperature sensing end 31 is fitted into the mounting groove 41, and the temperature sensing end 31 is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 41.

[0029] The heat-conducting structure 40 can define a mounting groove 41 with one end open. At least a portion of the temperature sensing end 31 can be assembled into the mounting groove 41. At least a portion of the temperature sensing end 31 can extend into the mounting groove 41 through its open end. A portion of the structure of the temperature sensing end 31 can be assembled into the mounting groove 41, or the entire structure of the temperature sensing end 31 can be assembled into the mounting groove 41. This embodiment of the application uses the example of the entire structure of the temperature sensing end 31 being assembled into the mounting groove 41. The temperature sensing end 31 can contact the inner wall of the mounting groove 41, which is beneficial for further achieving the heat transfer effect between the temperature sensing end 31 and the heat-conducting structure 40. The power terminal 20 can contact the outer wall of the heat-conducting structure 40, which is beneficial for further improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40, the power terminal 20, and the temperature sensing end 31. This is beneficial for further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20, and for further improving the reliability of the charging socket 1.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the heat-conducting structure 40 has a bottom wall 411 of the mounting groove 41, and the bottom wall 411 has a wiring hole 4111 that communicates with the mounting groove 41.

[0031] The heat-conducting structure 40 has a bottom wall 411 of a mounting groove 41. The bottom wall 411 can be located on the side of the mounting groove 41 away from the open end. The bottom wall 411 can have a wiring hole 4111 formed therein. The wiring hole 4111 can penetrate the bottom wall 411 along the thickness direction of the bottom wall 411 and can communicate with the mounting groove 41. The temperature sensor 30 can have a wire 32 connected to the temperature detection end 31. When the temperature detection end 31 is assembled in the mounting groove 41, the wire 32 can be located on the side of the temperature detection end 31 facing the bottom wall 411. The wire 32 can pass through the wiring hole 4111, and the end of the wire 32 away from the temperature detection end 31 can extend out of the mounting groove 41 through the wiring hole 4111, so that the wire 32 of the temperature sensor 30 can be connected to other components. By setting the heat-conducting structure 40 to have wiring holes 4111, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of the wire 32 bending in the mounting groove 41, to allow the wire 32 to extend better, to extend the service life of the wire 32, and to further extend the service life of the temperature sensor 30.

[0032] As an example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there can be two wires 32, which can be arranged opposite each other and spaced apart, and can be symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the temperature sensing end 31. There can also be two wiring holes 4111, with each wire 32 corresponding to one of the two wiring holes 4111. Each wire 32 has a corresponding wiring hole 4111, and each wire 32 can pass through the corresponding wiring hole 4111. The wiring holes 4111 can limit the movement of the wires 32, which helps to reduce the probability of the temperature sensing end 31 rotating relative to the heat-conducting structure 40, and further improves the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20.

[0033] As an example, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the socket body 10 may include a first body 11 and a second body 12. The first body 11 and the second body 12 may be arranged along the axial direction of the power terminal 20. The first body 11 may be fixedly connected to the second body 12 by bolts. The first body 11 may have a first mounting hole, and the heat-conducting structure 40 may be mounted in the first mounting hole. When the heat-conducting structure 40 is mounted in the first mounting hole, along the arrangement direction of the first body 11 and the second body 12, the first body 11 may have an end wall formed on the side of the heat-conducting structure 40 away from the second body 12. The end wall may have a clearance hole 113, which may penetrate the end wall along the thickness direction. There can be two clearance holes 113. When the temperature sensor 30 is assembled on the first body 11, the clearance holes 113 can be set corresponding to the wiring holes 4111. The clearance holes 113 can be connected to the wiring holes 4111. The two wires 32 can pass through the corresponding wiring holes 4111 and the corresponding clearance holes 113 in sequence. This is beneficial to further reduce the probability of the wires 32 bending, to further extend the wires 32, to further extend the service life of the wires 32, to further extend the service life of the temperature sensor 30, and to further realize the limiting function of the temperature sensor 30. It is also beneficial to further reduce the probability of the temperature detection end 31 rotating relative to the heat conduction structure 40.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the socket body 10 has a first mounting hole 111 and a second mounting hole 112. The first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 are adjacent and connected. The power terminal 20 passes through the first mounting hole 111. The heat-conducting structure 40 is assembled in the second mounting hole 112 and extends into the first mounting hole 111 to contact the power terminal 20.

[0035] The socket body 10 may have a first mounting hole 111 and a second mounting hole 112 (i.e., the first assembly hole in the above embodiment). Both the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 may extend along the height direction of the socket body 10. When the charging socket 1 is used as described above, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 may be formed. Figure 3 When setting the direction, the height direction of the socket body 10 is as follows: Figure 3 The first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 can be adjacent and connected, that is, the socket body 10 has a sidewall located between the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112. The first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 can share the sidewall, and the sidewall forms a communication port connecting the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112. The power terminal 20 can pass through the first mounting hole 111, and the heat-conducting structure 40 can be assembled in the second mounting hole 112. The heat-conducting structure 40 can extend into the first mounting hole 111 through the communication port and contact the power terminal 20, which is beneficial to further realize the heat transfer effect between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20, which is beneficial to further improve the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20, which is beneficial to further improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20, and which is beneficial to further improve the reliability of the charging socket 1.

[0036] As an example, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 112 can be arranged along the first direction to facilitate the connection of the wire 32 of the temperature sensor 30 to other components. When the charging socket 1 is as follows... Figure 2 When setting the direction, the first direction can be... Figure 2 The X-direction in the middle is perpendicular to the height direction of the socket body 10.

[0037] As an example, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the socket body 10 may include a first body 11 and a second body 12. The first body 11 and the second body 12 may be arranged along the height direction of the socket body 10. The first body 11 may be fixedly connected to the second body 12 by bolts. The first body 11 may have a first mounting hole 111 and a second mounting hole 112. When the heat-conducting structure 40 is assembled into the second mounting hole 112, the heat-conducting structure 40 may abut against the second body 12, and the second body 12 may limit the heat-conducting structure 40. The second body 12 may have a third mounting hole 121. The third mounting hole 121 may extend along the height direction of the socket body 10. The second mounting hole 112 and the third mounting hole 121 may be correspondingly arranged along the height direction of the socket body 10, and the second mounting hole 112 and the third mounting hole 121 may be connected. The power terminal 20 may be assembled into the second mounting hole 112 and the third mounting hole 121.

[0038] As an example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second body 12 may have a first elastic structure 122. The first elastic structure 122 may be disposed on the inner wall of the third mounting hole 121. The first elastic structure 122 may be disposed near the end of the third mounting hole 121 away from the second mounting hole 112. The first elastic structure 122 may deform radially along the third mounting hole 121. The first elastic structure 122 may have a first limiting part 1221, and the power terminal 20 may have a second limiting part 21. The first limiting part 1221 and the second limiting part 21 may be mutually limiting. When the power terminal 20 extends into the third mounting hole 121, the first elastic structure 122 may be mutually limiting with the power terminal 20. The first elastic structure 122 may abut against the power terminal 20 and limit the power terminal 20 in the third mounting hole 121, thereby achieving the effect of the power terminal 20 being disposed in the socket body 10.

[0039] As an example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first body 11 may also have a shielding wall 114. The shielding wall 114 is located between the wire 32 and the first mounting hole 111. The shielding wall 114 can be used to separate the wire 32 from the power terminal 20, which helps to reduce the probability of the wire 32 being damaged due to scratching between the wire 32 and the power terminal 20, helps to reduce the probability of the power terminal 20 breaking down the wire 32 and causing the vehicle to be unable to charge, helps to further improve the reliability of the temperature sensor 30, helps to further improve the reliability of the charging socket 1, and helps to reduce safety hazards during vehicle charging.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the heat-conducting structure 40 is an elastic structure, and part of the heat-conducting structure 40 is compressed between the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31.

[0041] The heat-conducting structure 40 can be an elastic structure. When the heat-conducting structure 40 extends into the first mounting hole 111 to contact the power terminal 20, part of the structure of the heat-conducting structure 40 can deform. Part of the heat-conducting structure 40 can be compressed between the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31. This is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20, further improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31, further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20, and further improving the reliability of the charging socket 1.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the deformation of the heat-conducting structure 40 is L1, which satisfies the relationship: 2mm≤L1≤4mm.

[0043] When a portion of the heat-conducting structure 40 is compressed between the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, the heat-conducting structure 40 deforms. The heat-conducting structure 40 has a deformation amount L1 along the arrangement direction of the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 (i.e., the first direction). The deformation amount L1 of the heat-conducting structure 40 is the difference between the wall thickness of the heat-conducting structure 40 in its natural state and the wall thickness of the compressed portion when the portion of the heat-conducting structure 40 is compressed between the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, satisfying the relationship: 2mm≤L1≤4mm.

[0044] For example, the deformation of the heat-conducting structure 40 can be 2mm, 2.6mm, 3.1mm, 3.7mm, 4mm, etc. Any deformation within the range of 2mm to 4mm, including the endpoint values, is an optional deformation of the heat-conducting structure 40 in this invention. If the deformation of the heat-conducting structure 40 is less than 2mm, it affects the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, affecting the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20. If the deformation of the heat-conducting structure 40 is greater than 4mm, the excessive deformation may cause damage to the heat-conducting structure 40, affecting its service life. Therefore, a deformation between 2mm and 4mm is beneficial for further improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, for further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20, and for further extending the service life of the heat-conducting structure 40.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the axial direction of the power terminal 20, the contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 is L2, which satisfies the relationship: 8mm≤L2.

[0046] For example, the contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20 can be 8mm, 9.8mm, 11.65mm, 13.4mm, etc. Any contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20, including the endpoint value, is an optional contact length of the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20 in this utility model. If the contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20 is less than 8mm, the contact area between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 is small, affecting the contact heat transfer effect of the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20. Therefore, the contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20 is greater than or equal to 8 mm. The maximum value of the contact length between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 along the axial direction of the power terminal 20 is set according to the actual size of the charging socket 1, which is beneficial to enhance the heat transfer effect between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20, and is beneficial to further improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature of the power terminal 20.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the power terminal 20 has a first contact surface facing the heat-conducting structure 40, and the heat-conducting structure 40 has a second contact surface facing the power terminal 20, and the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact.

[0048] The power terminal 20 may have a first contact surface facing the heat-conducting structure 40, and the heat-conducting structure 40 may have a second contact surface facing the power terminal 20. The first contact surface and the second contact surface can contact each other, which is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the power terminal 20 and the heat-conducting structure 40, improving the stability of heat transfer when the power terminal 20 and the heat-conducting structure 40 are in contact, further improving the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection terminal 31, and further improving the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20.

[0049] As an example, both the first and second contact surfaces can be constructed as planes, which is beneficial to further increase the contact area between the power terminal 20 and the heat-conducting structure 40, to further improve the heat transfer efficiency between the heat-conducting structure 40 and the power terminal 20 and the temperature detection end 31, to further improve the accuracy of the temperature sensor 30 in monitoring the temperature change of the power terminal 20, and to further extend the service life of the heat-conducting structure 40.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, the thermally conductive structure 40 is a thermally conductive adhesive structure.

[0051] The thermally conductive structure 40 can be a thermally conductive adhesive structure or a thermally conductive rubber structure, which is beneficial to improving the insulation of the temperature sensor 30 and the power terminal 20 under various extreme working conditions, and is beneficial to further improving the reliability of the charging socket 1.
