With the above-mentioned design, the guiding cone 1152 can be used to provide a guiding function during the process of plugging the charging plug 110 with its first plugging end 115 to the power supply socket 120. For example, the charging plug 110 may be formed with a substantially conical nose type structure using the guiding cone 1152, and the guiding cone 1152 may be designed to provide a tolerance of substantially 10mm to 30mm, such as 10mm, 12mm, and 25mm, depending on the particular structure and size. In other embodiments, the guiding cone 1152 may have other structures, such as a cambered surface structure. In addition, based on different specific configuration options and sizes, the allowable error provided by the guiding cone 1152 can be smaller than 10mm, such as 8mm and 6mm, or larger than 30mm, such as 33mm and 50mm, all without being limited by the present embodiment.

Through the above design, during the charging plugging process, the first plugging end 115 of the charging plug 110 is plugged into the plugging groove 1241 of the second plugging end 124 of the power supply socket 120 by the guiding cooperation of the guiding conical surface 1152 and the guiding flared structure 12412. Accordingly, the guiding bell-mouth structure 12412 can be used to provide a guiding function, so that the charging plug 110 and the power supply socket 120 can be adaptively adjusted and positioned during the plugging process. Here, the surface shape of the guide flare structure 12412 may preferably correspond to the surface shape of the guide cone 1152, for example, when the guide cone 1152 is in the form of a slope, the guide flare structure 12412 may also be in the form of a slope, and the size of the guide flare structure 12412 may be equal to or slightly larger than the size of the guide cone 1152.

In the charging socket assembly 100 of the present invention, the charging male terminal (power supply core 12411) and the charging female terminal (hole 1151) are respectively disposed in the charging plug 110 and the power supply socket 120. On the basis, the charging insertion action is roughly realized in two steps, namely, the structure insertion is performed in advance, errors are corrected in the structure insertion process, the positioning errors of the vehicle-carrying tray 310 are compensated through self-adaptive positioning between the insertion structures, the insertion of the charging male connector and the charging female connector is completed after the errors are corrected, a high-precision insertion working surface is provided for the insertion of the charging male connector and the charging female connector, and the accuracy and the reliability of the charging insertion process are guaranteed.
The tolerance is formed in consideration of the lateral and vertical errors between charging plug 110 and power supply socket 120 due to the lateral and vertical positioning accuracy of cart tray 310. Because the positioning accuracy of the stereo garage for conveying the vehicle carrying tray 310 to the parking space 320 is rough (compared with the accuracy required by the charging plugging action), taking the error range of the existing stereo garage as an example, the left and right positioning errors are +/-10 mm, the upper and lower positioning errors caused by the deformation of the vehicle carrying tray 310 and other factors are +/-10 mm, and the front and rear positioning errors are +/-20 mm, the plugging action of the charging plugging component 100 can cause the possibility of the plugging failure due to the positioning error of the vehicle carrying tray 310. Therefore, in this embodiment, by using at least one of the above designs regarding the buffer connection member 112, the guiding conical surface 1152, the bell mouth structure 11511, the bell mouth structure 12412, etc., the utility model provides a charging plug-in assembly 100 can solve the contradiction between the coarse positioning accuracy of the car carrying tray 310 and the high positioning accuracy of the charging plug-in action, so that the charging plug-in assembly has a good error correction function.
