Description
本發明係關於一種充電連接器,尤指一種透過特殊設計以擴大爬電距離及電氣間隙的電動車用充電連接器。 The present invention relates to a charging connector, and more particularly to a charging connector for electric vehicles that is specially designed to increase creepage distance and electrical clearance.
根據中國大陸國家標準GB 24155-2020「電動摩托車和電動輕便摩托車安全要求」,對於充電介面的爬電距離及電氣間隙作出了具體的規範,其中,動力蓄電池的爬電距離應滿足如下要求: According to the Chinese national standard GB 24155-2020 "Safety requirements for electric motorcycles and electric mopeds", specific specifications are made for the creepage distance and electrical clearance of the charging interface. Among them, the creepage distance of the power storage battery should meet the following requirements:
1.動力蓄電池連接端子間的爬電距離d1按下式(1)計算,單位為mm:
2.帶電部件與電平台之間的爬電距離d2按下式(2)計算,單位為mm:
前述式(1)、式(2)的U為動力蓄電池兩輸出端子間的最大工作電壓,單位為伏特。 U in the above formula (1) and formula (2) is the maximum operating voltage between the two output terminals of the power storage battery, in volts.
另導電部件之間的電氣間隙應不小於2.5mm。 In addition, the electrical gap between conductive parts should be no less than 2.5mm.
配合圖8所示,可知電氣間隙與爬電距離的測量方式,其揭示一載體70上的兩連接端子71、72,兩連接端子71、72分別具有一可導電表面710、720,兩可導電表面710、720的間距為電氣間隙G,兩連接端子71、72沿載體70表面的距離即為爬電距離D。
As shown in FIG8 , the measurement method of electrical gap and creepage distance can be known, which reveals two connecting
由上述可知,中國大陸對電動車用的充電介面有上述的爬電距離、電氣間隙要求。請配合參閱圖9、圖10,其揭示一種現有的電動車用連接
器,主要係在一連接器基座80內設有一負極端子81,該負極端子81內同軸且電氣隔離地設有一正極端子82,該負極端子81呈中空筒狀,其內部具有連通的一上槽室811及一下槽室812,其中上槽室811的內徑恆大於下槽室812,該上槽室811內並設有一冠簧813,該冠簧813與負極端子81電連接,且該冠簧813具有複數接觸簧片,每一接觸簧片分別朝一軸向方向延伸而構成一接觸點,在上述連接器和一對應的連接器接合時,冠簧813為負極電源的主要傳導媒介,其接觸點則作為負極端子81的可導電表面。
As can be seen from the above, mainland China has the above creepage distance and electrical clearance requirements for the charging interface of electric vehicles. Please refer to Figures 9 and 10, which disclose a conventional electric vehicle connector. It mainly comprises a
而為實現該負極端子81在其內部同軸且電氣隔離地設置該正極端子82,在其下槽室812內形狀匹配地設有一絕緣座83,並在該絕緣座83中央設置該正極端子82,透過絕緣座83的設置,正極端子82即與負極端子81相互構成電氣隔離。依上述中國大陸國家標準的要求,該類型連接器的工作電壓為50.4伏特,依前述式(1)計算,其爬電距離必須大於等於17.6mm(0.25x50.4+5),電氣間隙則須大於2.5mm。對應到上述連接器,其意味著負極端子81沿絕緣座83表面到正極端子82的爬電距離必須大於17.6mm,該冠簧813的接觸點作為負極端子81的可導電表面,其和正極端子82的電氣間隙必須大於2.5mm。然如圖11所示,根據實測結果顯示,該負極端子81由冠簧813接觸點到正極端子82的電氣間隙G1為5.375mm,恆大於標準的2.5mm,符合安全要求。但該負極端子81沿絕緣座83表面到正極端子82的爬電距離D1僅為3.8mm,遠低於17.6mm的安全要求而不符規定。
In order to realize that the
而上述連接器在外部連接方面,亦同樣面臨爬電距離不符合安全要求的問題,請參閱圖12、圖13所示,該負極端子81和正極端子82分別和一電連接片84、85連接,兩電連接片84、85的一端分別固定在負極端子81、正極端子82的底部,另端則彎折延伸至連接器基座80的底部以外,供外部電氣連接用。基於連接器的規格要求,兩電連接片84、85被配置在該連接器基座80底部
的兩相鄰位置,其間的最短距離D2為6.20mm,其符合電氣間隙必須大於等於2.5mm的要求,但爬電距離卻遠低於至少17.6mm的要求。
The above connector also faces the problem of creepage distance not meeting safety requirements in terms of external connection. Please refer to Figures 12 and 13. The
由上述可知,既有電動車用連接器在爬電距離上無法符合安全要求,故有待進一步檢討,並謀求可行的解決方案。 From the above, it can be seen that existing electric vehicle connectors cannot meet safety requirements in terms of creepage distance, so further review is needed to seek a feasible solution.
因此本發明主要目的在提供一種電動車用充電連接器,其透過特殊的端子及絕緣構造以擴大爬電距離及電氣間隙而符合安全要求。 Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a charging connector for electric vehicles, which meets safety requirements by expanding the creepage distance and electrical clearance through special terminals and insulation structures.
為達成前述目的採取的主要技術手段係令前述電動車用充電連接器包括:一連接器基座;一第一導電端子,其一端設於該連接器基座內,另端露出於該連接器基座;該第一導電端子係呈中空筒狀,其內部具有一上槽室及一下槽室,該下槽室進一步形成有一內縮槽壁,以擴大該下槽室的內徑;一隔離件,係形狀匹配地設在該第一導電端子的下槽室內;該隔離件的表面同軸地形成有一個以上朝下凹入的環槽;一第二導電端子,係設於該隔離件的中央處,以同軸且電氣隔離地位於該第一導電端子內,該第二導電端子的一端位於該第一導電端子的上槽室內,另端穿出於該隔離件的底部以外。 The main technical means adopted to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is to make the above-mentioned electric vehicle charging connector include: a connector base; a first conductive terminal, one end of which is arranged in the connector base and the other end is exposed from the connector base; the first conductive terminal is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, and has an upper groove chamber and a lower groove chamber inside, and the lower groove chamber is further formed with a retracted groove wall to expand the inner diameter of the lower groove chamber; an isolator is arranged in the lower groove chamber of the first conductive terminal in a matching shape; the surface of the isolator is coaxially formed with an annular groove that is concave downward; a second conductive terminal is arranged at the center of the isolator, and is coaxially and electrically isolated in the first conductive terminal, one end of the second conductive terminal is located in the upper groove chamber of the first conductive terminal, and the other end passes through the bottom of the isolator.
前述連接器的第一導電端子在其下槽室形成內縮槽壁,以擴大該下槽室的內徑並相對加大位於其間所設隔離件的外徑,而延長該第一導電端子沿著該隔離件表面到第二導電端子間的爬電距離;再者,復以該隔離件上形成有自表面凹入的環槽,因此將更大幅地延長該第一導電端子沿著該隔離件表 面到第二導電端子間的爬電距離,另一方面又可擴大隔離件表面的散熱面積,而充分滿足安全要求。 The first conductive terminal of the connector has an inwardly contracted groove wall formed in its lower groove chamber to expand the inner diameter of the lower groove chamber and relatively increase the outer diameter of the isolating member disposed therein, thereby extending the creepage distance from the first conductive terminal along the surface of the isolating member to the second conductive terminal; furthermore, an annular groove recessed from the surface is formed on the isolating member, thereby significantly extending the creepage distance from the first conductive terminal along the surface of the isolating member to the second conductive terminal, and on the other hand, the heat dissipation area on the surface of the isolating member can be expanded, thereby fully meeting the safety requirements.
