EV Charging Socket Inner Core Structure for Fast Terminal Repair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric vehicle charging sockets are inconvenient to disassemble for terminal repairs or replacements, leading to time-consuming and costly processes with a risk of damage to components.
Innovation Solution
The electric vehicle charging socket features a detachable inner core frame connected to the vehicle body via snap-fit or threaded connections, allowing for independent repair or replacement of the electric connection device without removing the entire socket, along with anti-misinstallation structures and temperature control for safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the direct current inner core and the alternating current inner core are fixed on a same stand by means of welding or crimping, then the charging socket has a stable and reliable structure, but when terminals need to be repaired or replaced, the entire stand must be demounted together with the inner cores, making repair inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The charging socket is divided into separate modules: the stand and each inner core (direct current and alternating current) are independent components that can be assembled and disassembled separately. This segmentation allows the inner cores to be replaced without removing the stand, resolving the contradiction between structural stability and ease of repair.
2Reliability
If the direct current inner core and the alternating current inner core are fixed on a same stand by means of welding or crimping, then the charging socket has a stable structure, but the repair process is time-consuming and laborious and increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the charging socket into a stand and separable inner cores with independent connection interfaces, the design enables quick replacement of only the faulty inner core without dismantling the entire assembly, significantly reducing repair time while maintaining structural integrity.
3Reliability
If the direct current inner core and the alternating current inner core are fixed on a same stand by means of welding or crimping, then the charging socket has a stable structure, but improper operation during disassembly may cause damage to the inner cores or the stand
Solution Approach 1:
The segmented design with standardized connection interfaces between the stand and inner cores allows for controlled disassembly without excessive force, reducing the risk of damage to components during repair operations while maintaining structural stability during normal use.
