The utility model is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is to be noted that the features in the following embodiments and examples may be combined with each other without conflict.

It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and the drawings only show the components related to the present invention rather than the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and proportion of the components in actual implementation may be changed freely, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.

Some exemplary embodiments of the utility model have been described for illustrative purposes, and it is to be understood that the utility model may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides an electrical connector 10, by which a battery is connected to an external large power supply or consumption device for charging and discharging the battery, particularly, a vehicle-mounted battery, through the electrical connector 10. The electrical connector 10 includes a male end 100 and a female end 200. When in use, the male terminal 100 is inserted into the female terminal 200, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the external power supply device or the power consumption device and the battery.

As shown, the male terminal 100 includes a male terminal base 110 and a first protrusion 120 protruding from a surface 101 of the male terminal base 110, and a first contact portion 130 is disposed on at least one side of the first protrusion 120. The female terminal 200 includes a female terminal base 210, a first groove 220 is formed by recessing from a surface 201 of the female terminal base 210, the shape of the first groove 220 matches with the first protrusion 120, and a second contact portion 230 corresponding to the first contact portion 130 is disposed on a sidewall of the first groove 220. The first boss 120 may be inserted into the first groove 220, and the first contact portion 130 contacts the second contact portion 230 to achieve electrical connection. When the first protrusion 120 contacts the first groove 220 at an included angle, the first protrusion 120 can smoothly fall into the first groove 220, thereby completing the contact and achieving the electrical connection.

In the prior art, a structure in which a jack terminal is fitted to a jack is used. The male end is provided with a plurality of plugging terminals, the female end is provided with a plurality of corresponding plugging holes, and when the male end is inserted into the female end, the plugging segments and the plugging holes are required to be in one-to-one correspondence, so that connection can be smoothly completed. Generally, the plug terminals are long, the plug holes are correspondingly hole-shaped, and the plug terminals can smoothly reach the preset positions under the guidance of the hole-shaped structures, so that the electrical connection is realized. The connection can be smoothly completed only when the angle between the plug terminal and the jack is substantially straight, that is, the plug terminal is over against the jack. If the angle is deviated, interference can be generated between the plugging segment and the plugging hole, thereby preventing the plugging action from being implemented. In the present application, when the male end 100 and the female end 200 form an included angle therebetween, the plugging and unplugging operations can be smoothly completed. For example, as shown, the male end 100 and the female end 200 are not initially parallel, and are at an angle α, with the tips of the two being closer together than the other portions, and correspondingly, the first projection 120 and the first slot 220. When the male end 100 and the female end 200 are further close to each other, the first side surface 121 of the first boss 120 close to the top end first contacts with the first side wall 221 of the first groove 220 close to the top end, so as to form a contact line, and as the male end 100 and the female end 200 continue to approach, and as the contact line forms a barrier, the male end 100 and the female end 200 rotate relative to each other with the contact line as a rotating shaft, so that the first boss 120 can smoothly fall into the first groove 220 to form a fit.

When the first protrusion 120 contacts the first groove 220 in an included angle manner, in order to enable the first protrusion 120 to smoothly fall into the first groove 220, the length of the first groove 220 should be greater than the length of the first protrusion 120 (the length is the length along the length direction of the edge of the included angle), and the included angle between the side surface of the first protrusion 120 where the first contact portion 130 is disposed and the surface 101 where the first protrusion 120 is located is not greater than 90 °. For example, as shown in the drawings, the length of the first protrusion 120 along the length direction from the first side surface 121 to the opposite surface thereof is smaller than the corresponding length of the first groove 220, so that, after the first side surface 121 contacts the first side wall 221 and the first protrusion 120 and the first groove 220 rotate relatively, no interference is formed between the opposite side surface of the first side surface 121 and the side wall of the first groove 220, and the relative rotation between the first protrusion 120 and the first groove 220 is prevented from being blocked, so that the first protrusion 120 smoothly falls into the first groove 220. In some embodiments, the first opening 222 is formed on the first groove 220 and penetrates through the side wall of the female base 210 at a position opposite to the first side wall 221, which is more favorable for the first protrusion 120 to fall into the first groove 220, and the processing is simpler. Also in this configuration, the male end 100, in addition to being capable of being angularly inserted into the female end 200, may also insert the first boss 120 into the first slot 220 from the first opening 222 along the length of the first slot 220. The edges of the first opening 222 may be chamfered.

In some embodiments, the first boss 120 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and opposite side surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped are provided with the first contact portions 130. The number of the first contact portions 130 on each side surface may be one or more, and when plural, they are spaced apart from each other without interference. In some embodiments, as shown, the first boss 120 is tower-shaped, that is, along the length direction of the first boss 120, the side of the first boss 120 where the first contact portion 130 is disposed is stepped, and one first contact portion 130 is disposed on each step, and correspondingly, the first groove 220 is also tower-shaped, that is, the two opposite sides of the first groove 220 along the length direction thereof are stepped, and one second contact portion 230 is disposed on each step. The first boss 120 is formed in a tower shape, so that the space occupied by the first boss 120 can be reduced, and the structure is more compact. In addition, through the cooperation of tower structure, when inserting between public end 100 and the female end 200, can appear interfering between the two, can not realize the cooperation, can effectively prevent to insert conversely, improved the security, prolonged life.

The first contact portion 130 and the second contact portion 230 are both metal sheets. In some embodiments, the metal sheet at the first contact portion 130 is an elastic sheet, that is, the elastic sheet has a certain gap 131 with the first boss 120 in a natural state. When the first protrusion 120 falls into the first groove 220, the elastic sheet is forced to compress toward the first protrusion 120, so as to be more beneficial to contact with the metal sheet on the second contact portion 230.

Along with the improvement of the intelligent degree of the battery, when the battery is electrically connected with the power supply equipment or the power consumption equipment, not only power transmission but also data transmission is realized, at the moment, at least two connecting assemblies are generally needed, one connecting assembly is used for realizing power transmission, and the other connecting assembly is used for realizing data transmission. Therefore, in some embodiments, a second boss 140 parallel to the first boss 120 may be further disposed at the male end 100, and a second groove 240 matched with the second boss 140 is disposed at the female end 200 to form a pair of connecting components, so as to achieve electrical connection. Wherein the first boss 120 may be configured to enable data transmission and the second boss 140 may be configured to enable power transmission. Since a plurality of pins are required for data transmission, a plurality of first contact portions 130 (one contact portion corresponds to one pin) may be disposed on at least one side surface of the first boss 120, and correspondingly, a plurality of second contact portions 230 may be disposed on corresponding sidewalls of the first groove 220 for data transmission. The second protrusion 140 and the second groove 240 may be matched in a similar manner to the first protrusion 120 and the first groove 220, that is, two first electrode contacts are respectively disposed on two side surfaces of the second protrusion 140, and are respectively used as a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and corresponding second electrode contacts 242 are respectively disposed on side walls of the second groove 240 corresponding to the two side surfaces, so as to implement power transmission. Meanwhile, when the first boss 120 is matched with the first groove 220 in an included angle manner, an included angle is formed between the second boss 140 and the second groove 240, and when the first boss 120 smoothly falls into the first groove 220, the second boss 140 does not interfere with the second groove 240 and can smoothly fall into the second groove 240, that is, the length of the second groove 240 is greater than that of the second boss 140; alternatively, in another embodiment, as shown, similar to the first slot 220, the second slot 240 extends through to the sidewall of the female end base 210 to form a second opening 240, and the edge of the second opening 240 may be chamfered. In some embodiments, for better electrical connection, two second bosses 140 may be provided, one for positive connection and the other for negative connection, so as to increase the contact area and avoid poor contact. In some embodiments, the second boss 140 for power transmission requires a small number of pins, and thus, to simplify the structure, the second boss 140 may be in a thin plate shape as shown in the drawing, may be formed of metal as a whole, or may be metal-coated on most of the surface of the second boss 140 to further increase the contact area. When two second bosses 140 are provided, the two second bosses 140 may be parallel to the first boss 120, and the relative positions of the two second bosses 140 and the first boss 120 are not limited, and may be provided on the same side of the first boss 120 or on both sides of the first boss 120 (as shown in the figure). In some embodiments, both sides of the second boss 140 in a length direction thereof may be provided to be inclined. It should be understood that the purpose of the first boss 120 and the second boss 140 is interchangeable, the first boss 120 may be used for power transmission and the second boss 140 may be used for data transmission.
