The invention relates to the technical field of
new energy automobile connectors, and discloses a self-locking U-shaped connector for a
new energy automobile, which comprises a socket end and a plug end, the plug end is inserted into the socket end, a self-
locking mechanism is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the plug end, an auxiliary matching rod is connected to one side, far away from the plug end, of the self-
locking mechanism, and the auxiliary matching rod is connected with the socket end. A reset mechanism is arranged on the self-
locking mechanism, and a control mechanism is connected between the auxiliary matching rod and the reset mechanism. Through the arrangement of the self-locking mechanism, in the continuous
butt joint process of the socket end and the plug end, rotation of the auxiliary matching rod can drive the self-locking
assembly to rotate synchronously, then through continuous meshing of the clamping rod and the
ratchet groove in the inner side of the
ratchet wheel ring, the auxiliary matching rod can rotate in the opposite direction, and continuous locking is achieved; according to the utility model, the existing single-point locking mode is changed, so that the locking is stable, and the problems of poor contact and even loosening easily caused by abrasion of the existing single-point locking latch hook and deformation of the boss are solved.
