In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrical connection device 3 is made of a flexible material. The flexible material can ensure that the electric connection device 3 can make a larger bending angle so as to be conveniently arranged in a larger area of the corner.

Furthermore, the flexible material is a multi-core cable or a braided cable or a soft row formed by overlapping a plurality of layers of thin plates. The multi-core cable and the braided cable have flexibility, are easy to bend and have excellent conductivity. The soft row's texture that the sheet stack is softer is easily deformed, also is fit for doing flexible material.

The electrical connection device 3 has at least one bending portion. The bending part is used for meeting the requirement that the electric connecting device 3 is installed on the vehicle body, and the number of the bending parts can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or more according to the specific assembling environment.

In some embodiments, the ground terminal 2 and the electrical connection means 3 have different cross-sectional areas. The specification of the grounding terminal 2 needs to meet the existing standard of the charging seat, and because the grounding terminal needs to be connected with the plug-in terminal in a plugging and unplugging contact manner, the contact area is relatively small, the contact resistance is relatively large, and the heat productivity of the terminal is relatively large, the sectional area requirement of the grounding terminal 2 is relatively large, and the requirement of the heat dissipation capacity is met. The electric connecting device 3 only conducts grounding current, and the contact area between the electric connecting device 3 and the grounding terminal 2 and the grounding device 4 is larger, so the cross section area of the electric connecting device 3 only needs to meet the use requirement. Therefore, the inventor chooses the cross-sectional area of the ground terminal 2 and the electrical connection device 3 such that the cross-sectional area of the ground terminal 2 is larger than that of the electrical connection device 3.

In some embodiments, the ground terminal 2 and the electrical connection device 3 have different cross-sectional shapes. The ground terminal 2 is required to be connected with the opposite plug terminal in a plugging and unplugging contact manner, so that the structure is generally a cylindrical terminal structure or a terminal structure with a plug, and the electric connecting device 3 only conducts the ground current, so that the cross section of the circular, polygonal or rectangular shape can be adopted according to the arrangement state of the charging seat body 1.

In some embodiments, the ground terminal 2 and the electrical connection device 3 are made of different materials. Because the grounding terminal 2 needs to be connected with the plug terminal in a plugging and pulling contact manner, and the contact resistance needs to be as small as possible, the grounding terminal 2 usually adopts copper or copper alloy with higher price, so that the corrosion resistance and the conductivity of a contact surface are ensured. The consumption of the electric connection device 3 is large, and the requirement on the electric conductivity is not high, so that the material of the electric connection device 3 can be different from that of the grounding terminal 2 under the condition of meeting the requirement, and the material of aluminum or aluminum alloy with low price can be adopted, so that the cost of the electric connection device 3 is saved.

In some embodiments, the ground terminal 2 and the electrical connection means 3 have a different metal crystal structure. Because the ground terminal 2 needs to be connected with the plug contact of the opposite plug terminal, the ground terminal 2 needs to have certain elasticity, so that the larger gripping force can be still kept after the opposite plug terminal is plugged and pulled for many times, the actual contact area of the ground terminal 2 and the opposite plug terminal is ensured, and the contact resistance is reduced. Therefore, the grounding terminal 2 is manufactured by adopting a hot forging and machining mode except that a copper material with high elasticity is selected as a raw material, so that the metal crystal structure of the grounding terminal 2 is compact, the internal stress is reduced, and the elasticity of the raw material of the grounding terminal 2 is ensured. And electric connector 3 only fixes and plays electrically conductive effect in charging seat body 1 is inside, does not need better mechanical properties, and is not high to the material and processing requirement, consequently generally uses rolling plate material cutting stamping forming, and electric connector 3's metallic crystal structure is looser, and internal stress can also be great. Therefore, because the functional requirements are different, the internal metal crystal structures of the grounding terminal 2 and the electric connection device 3 can adopt different structures, thereby reducing the material cost, optimizing the processing technology and reducing the cost of the charging seat.

In some embodiments, the electrical connection means 3 comprise at least two cross-sections of different shapes. The cross section of the electric connecting device 3 is provided with various shapes, so that the electric connecting device can be used in different installation environments, and the electric connecting device 3 can be matched with a vehicle body better.

In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the electrical connection device 3 is one or more of circular, oval, rectangular, polygonal, a-shaped, B-shaped, D-shaped, M-shaped, N-shaped, O-shaped, S-shaped, E-shaped, F-shaped, H-shaped, K-shaped, L-shaped, T-shaped, P-shaped, U-shaped, V-shaped, W-shaped, X-shaped, Y-shaped, Z-shaped, semi-arc-shaped, and wave-shaped. In practical use, the electric connecting device 3 with different sections can be adopted according to requirements.

In some embodiments, the electrical connection means 3 have a polygonal cross-sectional shape, the corners of which are all rounded or chamfered. When the cross section of the electrical connection device 3 has a corner, the corner can be rounded or chamfered to prevent the sharp part from damaging the insulating layer.

In some embodiments, the electrical connection means 3 is sheathed with an insulating layer. The insulating layer is used for insulating the contact between the electric connecting device 3 and the conductive material on the vehicle body, and avoiding short circuit caused by the contact between the two. In a specific embodiment, the material of the insulating layer comprises one of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyamide, polytetrafluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer, ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, polyurethane elastomer, styrene block copolymer, perfluoroalkoxyalkane, chlorinated polyethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polystyrene, crosslinked polyolefin, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, nitrile butadiene rubber, silicone rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, chloroprene rubber, butyl rubber, fluorine rubber, polyurethane rubber, polyacrylate rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, epichlorohydrin rubber, chlorinated polyethylene rubber, chlorosulfonated sulfur rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, polysulfide rubber, crosslinked polyethylene, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyphenylene oxide, polyester, phenolic resin, urea formaldehyde, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polymethacrylate, polyoxymethylene resin.

Many times, the charging seat has a complicated structure and many circuits, and the grounding terminal 2 is arranged in various parts and is difficult to be directly connected with the electric connecting device 3. By adopting the transition piece 5, the specific shape and size of the transition piece 5 can be designed according to the actual assembly environment in the charging stand, so that one end of the transition piece 5 is connected with the grounding terminal 2, and the other end of the transition piece is connected with the electric connection device 3.
