As shown in Fig. 4, the locking device 230 is arranged in the cavity formed by the female end assembly housing 220 and the female end locking member 210. The locking device is used to control the movement of the sliding member 2314 in the wedge-shaped gap between the first locking portion 122 and the second locking portion 213 when the male end locking member 120 is inserted into the female end locking member 210, so as to lock or release the male end locking member 120 and the female end locking member 210.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figs. 4 and 7, the locking device 230 comprises a holder 231 and a driving assembly 232, the holder 231 comprises a sliding member mounting portion 2311 and a limiting portion 2312, the sliding member mounting portion 2311 is provided with one or more through holes 2313, and each through hole 2313 is provided with a sliding member 2314; one end of the driving assembly 232 is opposite to the side of the limiting portion 2312 away from the sliding member mounting portion 2311, and the other end of the driving assembly 232 is fixed on the inner side surface of the female end assembly housing 220, and the driving assembly 232 is used to drive the holder 231 to move the sliding member 2314 in the wedge-shaped gap.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the sliding member 2314 is a rotary body with a central symmetry structure, for example, a steel ball, a cylindrical workpiece, etc. Specifically, when the sliding member 2314 is a cylindrical workpiece, the corresponding through hole 2313 can be provided in the form of a strip-shaped slot.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 4, the driving assembly 232 comprises: a resilient component 2321, one end of which is connected to the side of the limiting portion 2312 away from the sliding member mounting portion 2311, and the other end of which is fixed to the inner side of the female end assembly housing 220; and an output component 2322, one end of which is opposite to the side of the limiting portion 2312 away from the sliding member mounting portion 2311, and the other end of which is fixed to the inner side of the female end assembly housing 220.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 4, the resilient component 2321 can comprise: a spring guide rod 23211, which is fixed to the inner side of the female end assembly housing 220; and a spring 23212, which is sleeved on the spring guide rod 23211, one end of which is fixed to the inner side of the female end assembly housing 220, and the other end of which is connected to the side of the limiting portion 2312 away from the sliding member mounting portion 2311. It can be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the resilient component 2321 can also be in other forms, for example, it can be a telescopic rod.

[0036] Specifically, the first mounting seat 110 and the male end locking piece 120 are fixedly connected together to form an integral whole. The female end locking piece 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the female end assembly housing 220 close to the male end assembly 100. The sliding member 2314 is placed in the through hole 2313. The assembly of the sliding member 2314 and the retainer 231 can move in the narrow space formed by the female end locking piece 210 and the driving assembly 232. The first locking surface and the second locking surface form a wedge-shaped gap, and the angle of the wedge-shaped gap is set to ensure that a clamping state can be formed when cooperating with the sliding member 2314.

[0037] The spring 23212 is arranged between the retainer 231 and the inner bottom surface of the female end assembly housing 220. In the default state, the retainer 231 is pushed by the spring 23212, thereby driving the sliding member 2314 to be pushed in the wedge-shaped gap formed by the first locking surface and the second locking surface to form a clamping state, thereby ensuring that the male end assembly 100 cannot be pulled out. The spring guide rod 23211 is arranged inside the female end assembly housing 220, and has a guiding effect on the spring 23212. The output component 2322 is arranged at a position close to the middle of the inside of the female end assembly housing 220. The female end assembly housing 220 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 240, so that the female end assembly 200 as a whole can be fixed to a mechanical arm or an automatic charging gun head. One end of the through hole 2313 is tightened to ensure that the sliding member 2314 will not fall out in the non-docking state.

[0038] The specific action of the secondary connection device in the above embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0039] Specifically, before the automatic charging mechanical arm does not plug the gun, or before the end of plugging the gun, the secondary connection device locks the automatic charging gun head by mechanical clamping, keeps the connection between the automatic charging gun head and the mechanical arm, and the specific state is shown in FIG. 8.

[0040] In this state, the output component 2322 does not provide tension. The retainer 231 moves to the male assembly 100 under the action of the spring 23212, and the sliding member 2314 is clamped in the wedge-shaped gap composed of the first locking surface and the second locking surface. The spring force existing on the spring 23212 makes the squeezed sliding member 2314 have a larger normal pressure on the two sides of the contact surface, that is, the first locking surface and the second locking surface. When the male assembly 100 is pulled outward, the sliding member 2314 and the first locking surface will form a friction force, which prevents the male assembly 100 from moving in the plugging direction. At the same time, the friction force will drive the sliding member 2314 to move to the narrow part of the second locking surface. In this movement process, the sliding member 2314 is squeezed, thereby increasing the normal pressure of the sliding member 2314 on the first locking surface. According to the relationship between contact pressure and friction, the greater the pressure, the greater the friction. The increased friction further prevents the male assembly 100 from moving outward. That is, the greater the friction between the sliding member 2314 and the first locking surface, the more difficult it is to move the male assembly 100 outward, resulting in the male assembly 100 being unable to move outward. Therefore, the automatic charging gun head is fixed relative to the female assembly 200 when not plugging the gun and before the end of plugging the gun.

[0041] It should be noted that in an embodiment of the present application, the first guide surface can be a conical guide surface, and the second guide surface can also be correspondingly provided as a conical guide surface. When the male locking member 120 is inserted into the female locking member 210, the first guide surface and the second guide surface are in contact. Therefore, during the docking process, the two conical surfaces cooperate to correct the positioning error caused by visual guidance or mechanical arm movement, thereby improving the accuracy of repeatedly picking and placing the gun head, and ultimately realizing that the automatic charging gun head does not introduce additional positional deviation when charging the automobile charging seat again.

[0042] When it is necessary to disconnect the automatic charging gun head, such as when the mechanical arm plugs the gun and needs to disconnect and move to the next plugging position to charge the next vehicle, the power component 2322 is powered on to disconnect, and the specific state is shown in FIG. 9.

[0043] At this time, the output component 2322 generates a pulling force, and the retainer 231 pulls the sliding piece 2314 to move away from the male end assembly 100 under the action of the pulling force. Thus, the sliding piece 2314 is moved to the first locking surface wide part, so that a gap is generated among the sliding piece 2314, the first locking surface and the second locking surface. The sliding piece 2314 no longer has any friction with the first locking surface and the second locking surface. Therefore, the male end assembly 100 can be freely separated from the female end assembly 200.

[0044] It should be noted that, if the male end assembly 100 and the female end assembly 200 need to be combined again, the mechanical arm can be in a fixed path or a visual guide mode, so that the male locking piece 120 is inserted into the corresponding cavity of the female end assembly 200, thereby forming a locking state, and finally returning to the state that the male end assembly 100 is fixedly connected with the female end assembly 200.

[0045] Therefore, the secondary connection device of the automatic charging gun head can effectively avoid the situation that the automatic charging gun head falls off by locking the male end assembly and the female end assembly by the locking device.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, at least one of the guide part 212 and the second locking part 213 is a non-circular cross section in a plane perpendicular to the gun insertion direction. Thus, it is ensured that the male end assembly 100 and the female end assembly 200 will not rotate circumferentially after being connected.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5, the side surface of the second mounting part 211 is opened to form an artificial break hole 214.

[0048] Specifically, if the mechanical arm fails or the gun head needs to be manually charged, the automatic charging gun head needs to be manually taken off. For this purpose, the artificial break hole 214 reserved on the female locking piece 210 can be used to push the retainer 231 to overcome the pushing force of the spring 23212, drive the sliding piece 2314 to be separated from the first locking surface, so that the sliding piece 2314 and the first locking surface no longer generate normal pressure and friction, and thus the male end assembly 100 can be easily taken off.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, the output component 2322 is one of an electromagnet, a motor, an air cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder.

[0050] Specifically, the output component 2322 can be one of an electromagnet, a motor, an air cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the output component 2322 can also be other devices for different application scenarios. And for different output components 2322, the corresponding retainers 231 can also be different. For example, the output component 2322 is an electromagnet, and the corresponding retainer 231 can be made of a magnetically conductive material.
