在快换连接器的插座与插头进行配接时，会将接地定位销插入接地定位孔中，从而使得接触弹簧与接触环相互接触，一方面，通过接地定位销和接地定位孔的配合实现快换连接器的插座与插头的连接与定位，另一方面，通过接触环与接触簧的接触实现插座与插头的等电位。
相较于现有技术，由于本发明将第二接地结构内置于接地定位孔内，将第一接地结构套接于接地定位销的外周，从而在接地定位销插入接地定位孔中后，此种接地结构内置于接地定位孔中，从而能够改善现有的快换连接器的整体界面布局，节省了快换连接器的界面空间，将快换连接器更小型化，减少零部件数量，减少快换连接器的重量，节省材料利用，从而节约成本。此外，还能够保证接地结构之间的稳定接触关系，避免存在间隙而导致接触不良的情形出现。
同时，由于接地定位销的结构强度比传统的接地极柱的结构强度要高，因此，本发明的第一接地结构集成于接地定位销上，第二接地结构内接于接地定位孔中的技术方案，能够保证接地结构具有较高的强度，同时能够保证插座与插头的可靠接触。

具体实施方式
下面参照附图来描述本发明的优选实施方式。本领域技术人员应当理解的是，这些实施方式仅仅用于解释本发明的技术原理，并非旨在限制本发明的保护范围。本领域技术人员可以根据需要对其作出调整，以便适应具体的应用场合。
需要说明的是，在本发明的描述中，术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。
此外，还需要说明的是，在本发明的描述中，除非另有明确的规定和限定，术语“安装”、“相连”、“连接”应做广义理解，例如，可以是固定连接，也可以是可拆卸连接，或一体地连接；可以是机械连接，也可以是电连接；可以是直接相连，也可以通过中间媒介间接相连，可以是两个元件内部的连通。对于本领域技术人员而言，可根据具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
如图1至图3所示，为了解决现有的具有等电位连接功能的快换连接器体积大、质量偏重的问题。本发明提供了一种快换连接器，该快换连接器包括插座1和插头2，其中，插座1上设有接地定位销11，接地定位销11的外周套设有环状的第一接地结构，插头2上设有接地定位孔21，接地定位孔21内连接有第二接地结构，接地定位销11能够插入接地定位孔21中进行定位，且在接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，第一接地结构与第二接地结构相接触。可以理解的是，接地定位销11与接地定位孔21配合连接，接地定位销11不仅能够插入接地定位孔21中，还能够由接地定位孔21中拔出，接地定位销11适用于与电池相连，接地定位孔21适用于与车身相连，从而实现接地。
优选地，第二接地结构为接触弹簧23，例如，为冠簧、扭簧、弹簧触指、线簧中的一种，可以理解的是，接触弹簧23为环状结构，此外，第一接地结构只要为环状，且能够与接触弹簧23等电位连接即可，如为接触环13。在接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，接触环13的外圈与接触弹簧23的内圈相接触，从而提高接触的可靠性。
此外，插座1上还设有定位销12，插头2上还设有定位孔22，定位销12能够插入定位孔22中进行定位，从而能够在接地定位销11与接地定位孔21配合连接的基础上，定位销12与定位孔22也配合连接，进而能够实现两处定位，提高插座1与插头2的连接可靠性。可以理解的是，定位销12不仅能够插入定位孔22中，还能够由定位孔22中拔出。
为了便于说明，下文本发明的第二接地结构将以接触弹簧23为例进行介绍，环状的第一接地结构以接触环13进行介绍。
在快换连接器的插座1与插头2进行配接时，会将定位销12插入定位孔22中，并将接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中，从而使得接触弹簧23与接触环13相互接触，一方面，通过定位销12和定位孔22、接地定位销11和接地定位孔21的配合实现快换连接器的插座1与插头2的连接与定位，另一方面，通过接触环13与接触弹簧23的接触实现插座1与插头2的等电位。
相较于现有技术，由于本发明将接触弹簧23内置于接地定位孔21内，将接触环13套接于接地定位销11的外周，从而在接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，此种接地结构内置于接地定位孔21中，从而能够改善现有的快换连接器的整体界面布局，节省了快换连接器的界面空间，将快换连接器更小型化，减少零部件数量，减少快换连接器的重量，节省材料利用，从而节约成本。此外，通过接触环13的设置，能够提供与接触弹簧23之间的稳定接触关系，避免在接地定位销11与接触弹簧23直接配合的情形下，由于存在间隙而导致接触不良的情形出现。
同时，由于接地定位销11的结构强度比传统的接地极柱的结构强度要高，因此，本发明的接触环13集成于接地定位销11上，接触弹簧23内接于接地定位孔21中的技术方案，能够保证接地结构具有较高的强度，同时能够保证插座1与插头2的可靠接触。
另一方面，相较于传统的方案，由于本发明的快换连接器的接地结构非外置，在插头2与插座1配接时，能够减少接触点位，进而有效保护接触环13与接触弹簧23在换电过程中的机械磕碰。
其中，接触弹簧23装配于接地定位孔21内的具体实施方式包括多种，如图5所示，本发明将以以下几种可能的实施方式为例进行说明。
一是，接触弹簧23与接地定位孔21过盈配合连接。二是，接地定位孔21的内壁形成有环形凸起211，接触弹簧23的外壁形成有环形凹槽231，环形凸起211能够适配地装入环形凹槽231中，以形成限位，保证接触弹簧23在接地定位孔21中的稳固性。三是，接地定位孔21的内壁形成有第一环形凸台212，如第一环形凸台212位于接地定位孔21的内壁下部，接触弹簧23的底端搭载在第一环形凸台212上，也即接触弹簧23的底端搭载在第一环形凸台212在接地定位孔21轴向方向上的接触面上，以防接触弹簧23由接地定位孔21中掉落。可以理解的是，上述的接地定位孔21的内壁下部指的是，在插头2与插座1配接好后，接地定位孔21靠近地面的一侧，当然，也可以根据接触弹簧23的具体形式、大小，适当调整第一环形凸台212的位置，如第一环形凸台212位于接地定位孔21的内壁中部等。
其中，上述三种实施方式可以是三种独立的实施方式，也可以将上述三种实施方式进行任意组合，如本发明的快换连接器同时具备上述三种实施方式。
此外，作为一种可能的实施方式，如图6所示，快换连接器还包括环形止挡件3，环形止挡件3可拆卸地套设于接地定位销11的外周，接地定位销11的外壁形成有第二环形凸台111，如第二环形凸台111位于接地定位销11的外壁上部，接触环13卡接于第二环形凸台111与环形止挡件3之间。可以理解的是，上述的接地定位销11的外壁上部指的是，在插头2与插座1配接好后，接地定位销11远离地面的一侧。
其中，环形止挡件3可拆卸地套设于接地定位销11的外周的具体实施方式包括多种，例如，接地定位销11上设有环形槽，环形槽中设有密封环，环形止挡件3通过密封环紧固于接地定位销11上，也即密封环设于环形止挡件3与接地定位销11之间；或者，环形止挡件3与接地定位 销11之间通过螺钉连接等。
第二环形凸台111位于接地定位销11的外壁上部时，其装配方式为，首先从接地定位销11的下部装入接触环13，然后装上环形止挡件3，在环形止挡件3固定好后，接触环13卡接于第二环形凸台111与环形止挡件3之间，从而形成固定与限位。通过此种设置方式，能够在保证接触环13的稳固性的前提下，还能够便于接触环13的维修与更换。当然，可替换地，第二环形凸台111还可以位于接地定位销11的外壁下部，此时环形止挡件3位于接地定位销11的外壁上部，这些简单的变换均在本发明的保护范围之内。
作为一种优选的实施方式，接触弹簧23与接触环13的材质相同。以防止不同材质的金属接触产生化学腐蚀。例如，接触弹簧23与接触环13采用铜、镍、锌中的一种材质。
作为一种优选的实施方式，如图4所示，并参照图1，插座1上设有环状仓壁14，定位销12和接地定位销11设于环状仓壁14的内侧，在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，插座1、环状仓壁14与插头2之间围设形成电连接腔(图中未示出)，从而使得接地定位销11和定位销12位于电连接腔中。换句话说，环状仓壁14在插座1上是凸出设置的，环状仓壁14与插座1共同围设形成一个电连接仓，接地定位销11和定位销12设于环状仓壁14的内侧，也即接地定位销11和定位销12设于电连接仓中，在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，插头2与插座1配接，电连接仓与插头2共同形成电连接腔，此时，接地定位销11和定位销12位于电连接腔中。
其中，电连接仓与插头2共同形成电连接腔的方式包括多种，例如，插头2上可以形成凹槽结构，定位孔22、接地定位孔21等设于凹槽中，在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，环状仓壁14与凹槽的内周壁连接，从而围设形成电连接腔。或者，在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，环状仓壁14正好与插头2抵接从而围设形成电连接腔等。
若将定位销与接地定位销设置在环状仓壁外侧，在整车长期使用下， 日积月累，在环状仓壁与定位销之间会累积大量的灰尘，灰尘堆积不易清理，进而导致换电失效，且整个界面结构松散。因此，本发明将定位销12和接地定位销11设于环状仓壁14的内侧，使得在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，接地定位销11和定位销12位于电连接腔中，由于电连接腔是一个较为封闭的环境，因此，可以有效解决定位销12与环状仓壁14之间的灰尘堆积的问题，从而提升换电成功率，改善现有的快换连接器的整体界面布局，同时也节省了快换连接器的界面空间，将快换连接器更小型化，节约材料利用。
优选地，参照图1，插座1上的正极柱15和负极柱16设于环状仓壁14的内侧，从而使得在定位销12插入定位孔22中、接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，正极柱15和负极柱16位于电连接腔中，从而避免正极柱15与负极柱16脏污，避免其失效。
需要说明的是，上述实施方式仅仅用来阐述本发明的原理，并非旨在于限制本发明的保护范围，在不偏离本发明原理的条件下，本领域技术人员能够对上述实施方式进行调整，以便本发明能够应用于更加具体的应用场景。
例如，作为一种可替换的实施方式，虽然本发明的第二接地结构是以接触弹簧23进行介绍的，但这并不旨在于限制本发明的保护范围，只要能够实现插头2与插座1的等电位连接，其设置方式可以调整，如，第二接地结构可以为环状金属片或者弹片等，这些均不偏离本发明的原理，均在本发明的保护范围之内。
例如，作为一种可替换的实施方式，虽然本发明是以在接地定位销11插入接地定位孔21中后，第一接地结构的外圈与第二接地结构的内圈相接触进行介绍的，但其设置方式并非唯一，例如，第一接地结构与第二接地结构抵接等，这些均不偏离本发明的原理，均在本发明的保护范围之内。
例如，可以省去定位销12和定位孔22的设置。
例如，作为一种可替换的实施方式，接触环13套设于接地定位销11的外周的具体设置方式可以调整，如接触环13直接焊接于接地定位销11上等，这些均不偏离本发明的原理，均在本发明的保护范围之内。
在另一方面，本发明还提供了一种车辆，该车辆包括电池、车身和上述任一实施方式所述的快换连接器，其中，插座与电池相连，插头与车身相连。
在车辆拥有该快换连接器后，能够实现车辆的快换插头2与快换插座1等电位连接的同时，还能够保证插座1与插头2的可靠接触、减少零部件数量、节省材料利用、节约成本、提高换电成功率。
至此，已经结合附图所示的优选实施方式描述了本发明的技术方案，但是，本领域技术人员容易理解的是，本发明的保护范围显然不局限于这些具体实施方式。在不偏离本发明的原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对相关技术特征作出等同的更改或替换，这些更改或替换之后的技术方案都将落入本发明的保护范围之内。
