[0001] This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202120839630.3 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on April 22, 2021, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] Field of Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of motor vehicles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a temperature sensing assembly and a charging socket device. Background Art

[0003] Explanation of related technologies Currently, with advancements in science and technology, as well as increased public awareness of environmental protection, hybrid and pure electric vehicles are widely recognized by many consumers. Like traditional electric vehicles, they require recharging via a plug-in socket and can be connected to the vehicle's external fuel supply. The charging socket consists of a connector. One end of the connector is fitted to an external charging gun, and the other end is used for crimping (or crimping or pressing) with a wire, thereby achieving an electrical connection. To meet user needs, charging sockets are equipped with a fast charging interface to reduce the user's charging time. The fast charging interface must withstand high voltage and high current in a short period of time. Increased resistance at the crimped (or crimped) portion between the wire and the connector, or the occurrence of overcurrent in a short period of time, can cause a rapid increase in temperature, posing a significant potential safety hazard. In conventional technology, a temperature sensor was set on a circuit board inside the charger to detect the temperature of the connection terminals. This allowed for the detection of the temperature inside the charging socket, particularly the temperature at the crimped portion between the wire and the connection terminal, in time, and measures were taken in response to the detected actual temperature. Such measures eliminated potential safety hazards in time, improving vehicle safety. However, the temperature sensor is located away from the connection terminals, and the heat from the connection terminals is transmitted to the temperature sensor via the air. The values ​​detected by this temperature measurement method are not sufficiently accurate in terms of responding in time and eliminating potential safety hazards in time. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0014] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a limiting protrusion (or limiting ridge) is formed on the inner wall of the alignment slot, and the limiting protrusion abuts against (or is in contact with) the heat conduction structure, thereby limiting the movement range of the heat conduction structure in the alignment slot.

[0015] In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the heat conduction structure is a heat conduction adhesive cured part (or a heat conduction adhesive cured part, a portion where a heat conduction adhesive has hardened, or a heat conduction adhesive cured part).

[0016] In another exemplary aspect of the present invention, the heat conduction structure is composed of (or formed from) a ceramic material.

[0017] Another aspect of the present invention provides a charging socket device comprising a housing, at least one connection terminal provided in the housing, and the above-mentioned temperature sensing assembly. The housing is provided with mounting holes for installing the connection terminal, the temperature sensing assembly is fixedly connected to the housing, and the contact surface of the heat conduction structure is in close thermal contact (or tight thermal contact) with the connection terminal.

[0018] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a temperature sensing assembly is removably connected to a housing, the housing having a first connection hole for connecting the temperature sensing assembly, the circuit board having a second connection hole corresponding to the first connection hole, and a charging socket device further comprising a fastener, the fastener being connected such that it is fixed through the second connection hole to the first connection hole.

[0025] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, the embodiments described herein are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0026] In the following detailed descriptions, numerical specifics may be provided for illustrative purposes, but such specific details are solely for the purpose of ensuring a full understanding of the embodiments of this disclosure. It will be apparent that one or more embodiments can be realized without such specific details. In other examples, well-known structures and devices are shown schematically for the sake of simplicity in the drawings.

[0027] In the following sections, the present invention will be described in more detail, along with accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the technical challenges, technical solutions, and advantageous effects achieved by the present invention become clearer. The specific embodiments described herein are used solely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and do not particularly limit it.

[0028] When an element is described as being "fixed to" or "set on," it means that it can be directly or indirectly attached to another element. Similarly, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, it means that the first element can be directly or indirectly attached to the second element.

[0029] The azimuth, azimuth angles, or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "length," "width," "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside" are merely for convenience in explaining the present invention and are intended to make the explanation easier to understand, and should be understood as being based on the accompanying drawings. It is not explicitly or implicitly stated that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or that it must be configured or operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and do not explicitly or implicitly indicate relative importance or the number of related technical features. Therefore, features defined together with "first" and "second" explicitly or implicitly indicate that they also include one or more embodiments of that feature. In the description of this invention, "multiple" means two or more unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the present invention provides a temperature sensing assembly 2 for detecting the temperature of a connection terminal 12. The temperature sensing assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21, a temperature sensor 22 provided on the circuit board 21 and electrically connected to the circuit board 21, and a thermal conduction structure 23 that encloses (or wraps) the temperature sensor 22. The thermal conduction structure 23 has a contact surface 231 that is in close thermal contact with the connection terminal 12. The contact surface 231 of the thermal conduction structure 23 is in close fit with the surface of the connection terminal 12, and the heat from the connection terminal 12 is transferred via the thermal conduction structure 23 to the temperature sensor 22 which is provided to enclose (or wrap) the thermal conduction structure 23. The temperature sensor 22 can obtain timely and accurate actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12 via the thermal conduction structure 23, effectively improving the accuracy of the detection data. Therefore, safety is improved because users can take timely (or prompt) action to eliminate potential safety hazards in accordance with the actual (or real) temperature data obtained at the connection terminals.

[0032] To further illustrate this embodiment with reference to Figures 1 to 3, the contact surface 231 of the heat conduction structure 23 is complementary to the shape of the connection terminal 12, so that the contact surface 231 fits more tightly with the surface of the connection terminal 12, and the area of ​​the contact surface 231 between them increases. In this way, the heat conduction structure 23 more effectively transfers the heat of the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. This helps the temperature sensor 22 to obtain more accurate actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12, and contributes to an efficient improvement in the accuracy of the detection data. There are no particular restrictions on the specific structure and material of the heat conduction structure 23.

[0033] Alternatively, the heat conduction structure 23 may be a heat conduction adhesive cured part (or "a heat conduction part provided by curing or curing adhesive", "a part provided by curing a heat conduction adhesive", or "a heat conduction part provided by curing adhesive"). The heat conduction adhesive cured part is elastically deformable and can elastically contact the connection terminal 12. This allows the contact surface 231 of the heat conduction structure 23 to fit more tightly with the surface of the connection terminal 12. Alternatively, the heat conduction structure 23 may be made of a ceramic material. The ceramic material has good thermal conductivity and can quickly transfer the heat generated by the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. The ceramic material does not deform easily and can ensure reliable contact between the contact surface 231 and the connection terminal 12, thereby ensuring that there is no gap between the contact surface 231 and the surface of the connection terminal 12. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency and the accuracy of temperature sensing data are not negatively affected.

[0034] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the circuit board 21 includes a fixing portion 211. The fixing portion 211 is provided on the side wall of the circuit board 21 and protrudes from the side wall. The temperature sensor 22 is electrically connected to the fixing portion 211, and the temperature sensor 22 is securely (or firmly) attached to the circuit board 21 via the fixing portion 211. Alternatively, the heat conduction structure 23 is configured to enclose (or wrap around) at least a portion of the fixing portion 211, and the heat conduction structure 23 is fixed in place on the circuit board 21. This helps the heat conduction structure 23 to more effectively transfer (or transmit) the heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. Preferably, the heat conduction structure 23 interferes with (or engages with or contacts) at least a portion of the temperature sensor 22 and the fixing portion 211, thereby allowing the heat conduction structure 23 to more effectively transfer (or transmit) the heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. This helps the temperature sensor 22 to more accurately acquire the actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12, effectively improving the accuracy of the detection data.

[0035] Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 5, in this embodiment, the heat conduction structure 23 is provided with a fixing slot (or fixing slot or fixing hole) 232 for which a fixing part 211 is positioned. The fixing part 211 is partially positioned in the fixing slot 232 of the heat conduction structure 23, thereby fixing the heat conduction structure 23 to a predetermined position on the circuit board 21. The temperature sensor 22 is provided in the fixing slot 232 and interferes with (or engages with or contacts) the heat conduction structure 23, ensuring that the heat conduction structure 23 transfers (or transmits) the heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. Therefore, the temperature sensor 22 can accurately obtain the actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12. Alternatively, the heat conduction structure 23 is provided with a mounting slot (or mounting slot or installation slot) 233 formed in the bottom wall of the fixing slot 232. The temperature sensor 22 is inserted into the mounting slot 233 and is completely enclosed (or wrapped) by the mounting slot 233 of the heat conduction structure 23, thereby allowing the heat conduction structure 23 to more effectively transfer (or transmit) heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. This means that the temperature sensor 22 contributes to obtaining more accurate real (or actual) temperature data of the connection terminal 12. Therefore, safety is improved as the user can take timely (or without delay) appropriate action according to the real (or actual) temperature data obtained of the connection terminal to eliminate potential safety hazards in time (or without delay).

[0036] Referring further to Figures 2 and 5, in this embodiment, the circuit board 21 is provided with an alignment slot 212 in the fixing portion 211. The side wall of the fixing slot 232 is inserted into the alignment slot 212, restricting the direction of movement of the heat conduction structure 23. The alignment slot 212 acts as a guide (or guide) to accurately position the heat conduction structure 23 in a predetermined location on the circuit board 21. Alternatively, a limiting projection 213 is formed (or provided) on the inner wall of the alignment slot 212. The limiting projection 213 contacts (or contacts the heat conduction structure 23 in opposition to) the heat conduction structure 23, thereby restricting the range of movement of the heat conduction structure 23 in the alignment slot 212. The limiting projection 213 provided on the inner wall of the alignment slot 21 restricts the range of movement of the heat conduction structure 23, preventing the heat conduction structure 23 from coming loose from the circuit board 21 (or falling out, sliding off, or sliding away), thus assisting in assembly. Furthermore, it contributes to the overall wrapping of the temperature sensor 22 in the mounting slot 233, allowing the heat conduction structure 23 to more effectively transfer heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22. This helps the temperature sensor 22 to obtain more accurate real (or actual) temperature data of the connection terminal 12, contributing to an effective improvement in the accuracy of the detection data.

[0037] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the present invention provides a charging socket device 1. The charging socket device 1 includes a housing 11, at least one connection terminal 12 provided in the housing 11, and the temperature sensing assembly 2 described above. The housing 11 is provided with mounting holes for mounting the connection terminal 12. The temperature sensing assembly 2 is connected to the housing 11 so as to be fixed in place for sensing the temperature of the connection terminal 12. The temperature sensing assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21, a temperature sensor 22 provided on the circuit board 21 and electrically connected to the circuit board 21, and a thermal conduction structure 23 that surrounds (or wraps or encloses) the temperature sensor 22. The thermal conduction structure 23 has a contact surface 231 that is tightly attached to the connection terminal 12, and the contact surface 231 of the thermal conduction structure 23 is in tight thermal contact with the connection terminal 12. The contact surface 231 of the heat conduction structure 23 fits snugly with the surface of the connection terminal 12, and the heat from the connection terminal 12 is transferred via the heat conduction structure 23 to the temperature sensor 22, which is wrapped or encased by the heat conduction structure 23. The temperature sensor 22 obtains the actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12 in a timely and accurate manner via the heat conduction structure 23, effectively improving the accuracy of the detection data. This allows timely action to be taken in accordance with the actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12, eliminating potential safety hazards in a timely (or without delay) manner and improving the safety of the charging socket device 1.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 6, in this embodiment, the connection method (or connection mode) between the temperature sensing assembly 2 and the housing 11 is not particularly limited. For example, a connection method such as a removable connection or a non-removable connection can be employed. Preferably, the temperature sensing assembly 2 is removablely connected to the housing 11 so as to facilitate assembly and disassembly (unassembly or deassembly). The housing 11 of the charging socket device 1 is provided with a first connection hole for connecting the temperature sensing assembly 2, and the circuit board 21 is provided with a second connection hole 214 corresponding to the first connection hole. The charging socket device 1 also includes a fastener 13. The fastener 13 is fixedly connected to the first connection hole through (or via) the second connection hole 214. Alternatively, the fastener 13 may be a screw, and the temperature sensing assembly 2 may be removably connected to the housing 11 via a threaded connection. This is convenient for assembly and disassembly (unassembly or disassembly). If any parts in the temperature sensing assembly 2 are damaged, they can be disassembled and replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0039] Referring to both Figures 4 and 7, in this embodiment, the thermal conduction structure 23 of the temperature sensing assembly 2 is provided with a first latch portion 234 connected to the housing 11 so as to be fixed to it. The housing 11 is provided with a second latch portion 111 that aligns with the first latch portion 234. The first latch portion 234 and the second latch portion 111 cooperate with each other to restrict the movement of the thermal conduction structure 23 relative to the housing 11. The contact surface 231 of the thermal conduction structure 23 is tightly and stably attached to the surface of the connection terminal 12, and the thermal conduction structure 23 contributes to transferring heat from the connection terminal 12 to the temperature sensor 22 which is enveloped (or wrapped or wrapped) by the thermal conduction structure 23. The temperature sensor 22 can obtain the actual temperature data of the connection terminal 12 in a timely and accurate manner via the thermal conduction structure 23, effectively improving the accuracy of the sensing data. Therefore, safety is improved as the user can take appropriate measures in a timely manner (or without delay) to eliminate potential safety hazards in accordance with the actual temperature data obtained at the connection terminal 12.
