Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a charging gun according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a housing 1, a charging plug 2 is disposed at one end of the housing 1, a cable 3 is connected to the other end of the housing 1, a communication pin 21 and positive and negative overcurrent pins 22 are disposed in the charging plug 2, the communication pin 21 and the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22 are electrically connected to the cable 3, and the length of the communication pin 21 is shorter than the length of the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22.

In the charging gun, the length of the communication needle 21 is set to be shorter than the length of the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22; when the charging gun is inserted into the charging pile, the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22 are contacted firstly, and the communication pin 21 is contacted later; when the charging gun is pulled out, the communication needle 21 is disconnected firstly, and the positive and negative electrodes are disconnected after the pins 22 are overflowed; when a control circuit of the charging pile is set to be communicated with the communication pin 21, the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22 are electrified, otherwise, the charging pile is not electrified; therefore, when the charging gun is plugged and pulled out, the positive electrode overcurrent pins 22 and the negative electrode overcurrent pins 22 are not electrified firstly in the contact or separation process with the charging pile, and the phenomenon that contact pins are damaged by arc discharge is effectively avoided. The schematic diagram of the electrical connection principle between the charging gun and the charging pile and between the charging gun and the battery pack is shown in fig. 5.

Referring to fig. 3, in this embodiment, a micro switch 4 is disposed on the housing 1, the cable 3 is electrically connected to the micro switch 4, and the micro switch 4 is electrically connected to the communication pin 21 and the positive and negative overcurrent pins 22, respectively. When the charging gun is inserted into the charging pile, the microswitch 4 is communicated, and the charging plug 2 is electrified and can charge the battery pack; when the charging gun is pulled out, the microswitch 4 is pressed down, the microswitch 4 is disconnected by the downward force, and the charging plug 2 is powered off at the moment. So set up, can further improve the security that the rifle that charges used.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, a main chamber 11, a control chamber 12, and a cable chamber 13 are provided in the housing 1. Wherein, the main chamber 11 is communicated with the cable chamber 13; the charging plug 2 is arranged at one end of the main cavity 11; the microswitch 4 is arranged in the control chamber 12; the cable 3 is connected in the cable chamber 13 and is fixed by the cable lock.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the cable 3 is installed in the cable chamber 13 through an end cap 6, a sealing cavity 131 is disposed in the cable chamber 13, the diameter of the sealing cavity 131 is larger than the diameter of the main body of the cable chamber 13, a step is formed between the sidewall of the sealing cavity 131 and the sidewall of the cable chamber 13, a top block 7 is disposed in the sealing cavity 131, a silicone waterproof pad 8 is disposed between the top block 7 and the end cap 6, and both the top block 7 and the silicone waterproof pad 8 are sleeved on the cable 3. So set up, can effectively improve the waterproof dustproof performance at rifle cable outlet position that charges. The top block 7 is made of hard plastic materials.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the silicone waterproof pad 8 is located inside the gap between the end cover 6 and the housing 1, and the gap between the end cover 6 and the housing 1 is shielded by the silicone waterproof pad 8, so that external water and dust are prevented from entering the interior of the housing 1 from the gap between the end cover 6 and the housing 1.

Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, a plurality of sealing ribs 81 are disposed on both the inner side and the outer side of the silicone waterproof pad 8, and the sealing ribs 81 are disposed around the inner side or the outer side of the silicone waterproof pad 8. Through setting up sealed muscle 81, can make between waterproof cushion of silica gel 8 and sealed chamber 131 inner wall, the end cover 6 inner wall to and between waterproof cushion of silica gel 8 and the cable 3 good sealing contact, further improve the waterproof dustproof performance at rifle cable outlet port position that charges. The cross section of the sealing rib 81 is preferably triangular, that is, the width of the root part of the sealing rib 81 is larger than that of the tip end of the sealing rib, so that the tip end of the sealing rib 81 has better flexibility, and the sealing rib 81 is more in close sealing contact with the sealing cavity 131, the end cover 6 and the cable 3.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the end cover 6 is fixedly mounted at the end of the housing 1 through a plurality of locking screws 9, and an end cover sealing ring 10 is further disposed between the end cover 6 and the end of the housing 1, so as to further improve the waterproof and dustproof effects at the cable outlet of the charging gun. The end cover sealing ring 10 is made of silica gel.

When the charging gun of this embodiment installs cable 3, with kicking block 7 card in the sealed chamber 131 of the cable chamber 13 of charging gun, a terminal surface of kicking block 7 is close to the step, and waterproof cushion of silica gel 8 is crowded to its another terminal surface, and end cover 6 passes through locking screw 9 and locks on casing 1, crowds the other terminal surface of waterproof cushion of silica gel 8 simultaneously. Under the condition of locking, the silica gel waterproof cushion block 8 expands, and the multiple circles of sealing ribs 81 on the inner side and the outer side of the silica gel waterproof cushion block respectively seal the whole cable 3 circle and the whole end cover 6 circle, so that the effect of taking up the wire for sealing is achieved, and the sealing between the end cover 6 and the shell 1 is realized by using the end cover sealing ring 10. Through the structure, the cable outlet of the charging gun can achieve the waterproof and dustproof performance of IP 67.

After the charging gun is plugged and pulled for a long time, the contact pins in the charging plug 2 are easy to damage, and need to be replaced at the moment. The existing integrated charging gun needs to be integrally replaced with a new one when a contact pin is damaged, and the used maintenance cost is high. In order to solve the above problem, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, a split structure is adopted between the charging plug 2 and the housing 1 of the charging gun, and the charging plug 2 and the housing 1 are connected by a thread. Set up like this, when the contact pin damages and need to be changed and maintain, only need with charging plug 2 from casing 1 unscrew, the charging plug 2 of renewal can, and need not the rifle that charges that wholly changes the renewal, practiced thrift use and maintenance cost. Furthermore, a positioning screw hole is provided at an end portion of the housing 1, and the charging plug 2 is fixed and positioned at one end of the housing 1 by a positioning screw 23 inserted into the positioning screw hole. The charging plug 2 is connected in a reinforcing mode through the positioning screws 23, and the charging plug 2 is prevented from loosening in the using process.

Further, referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, a seal ring 5 is further provided between the end surface of the connection between the charging plug 2 and the housing 1. Through setting up sealing washer 5, can make to be connected more firmly between charging plug 2 and the casing 1, further avoid charging plug 2 not hard up to appear to can play the waterproof effect of charging gun head portion.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
