Abstract

A power storage connector includes a socket, a sleeve and a plug. The socket includes a fixed plate, a connecting unit and a fixing component configured on the fixed plate, and a limiting structure configured around the outer side of the connecting unit. The sleeve includes a limited component and a fixing structure configured on the outer sidewall and the inner sidewall of the connecting portion respectively. When the sleeve sleeves on the connecting unit, the limited component is located in the limiting structure and configured to move along the limiting structure, so that the sleeve is capable of rotating on the connecting unit. The plug includes a plug case detachably coupled and linked with the sleeve. The plug case drives the sleeve to rotate to engage the fixing structure and the fixing component, so as to connect and fix the plug to the socket.

Claims (13)

1 . A power storage connector, comprising:

a socket, comprising a fixed plate, a connecting unit, a limiting structure and a fixing component, the fixed plate having a plane and the connecting unit protruding outward from the plane, the limiting structure being configured around the outer side of the connecting unit, the fixing component being configured on the plane and on the same side of the connecting unit;

a sleeve, configured to sleeve the outside of the connecting unit, the sleeve comprising a limited component and a fixing structure, the limited component being configured on the inner sidewall of the sleeve and the fixing structure being configured on the outer sidewall of the sleeve and corresponding to the fixing component, when the sleeve sleeves the connecting unit, the limited component is located in the limiting structure and configured to move along the limiting structure, so that the sleeve is capable of rotating on the connecting unit; and

a plug, comprising a plug case detachably coupled and linked with the sleeve, the plug case be configured to drive the sleeve to rotate and engage the fixing structure and the fixing component, so as to connect and fix the plug to the socket at different angles.

2 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve comprises a positioning groove, and the plug case comprises a rib structure matching the positioning groove, when the plug is connected to the socket, the rib structure is arranged in the positioning groove, and the plug case drives the sleeve to rotate through the rib structure.

3 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the limiting structure further comprises a first ring structure and a second ring structure, and a hollow structure is formed between the first ring structure and the second ring structure, the limited component matches the hollow structure and is configured to move along the hollow structure.

4 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the fixing structure comprises two arc structures protruding from an outside wall of the sleeve, and a gap is formed between the two arc structures, the fixing component is configured to be arranged in the gap.

5 . The power storage connector of claim 4 , wherein when the sleeve sleeves the connecting unit, an installing distance is formed between the fixing component and the outside wall of the sleeve, and the fixing structure has a height which is larger than the installing distance.

6 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve comprises a securing slot, the plug case comprises a securing hole, and the plug comprises a securing component configured to move in the securing hole, the securing component is configured to be arranged in the securing slot, so as to connect the plug case to the sleeve.

7 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the power storage connector comprises a first seal ring and the connecting unit comprises a groove, the first seal ring is configured in the groove and protrudes from the outside wall of the connecting unit, when the plug is connected to the socket, the first seal ring is configured to seal the gap between the connecting unit and the plug case.

8 . The power storage connector of claim 1 , wherein the plug further comprises a first plug terminal and a second plug terminal, the first plug terminal is located in the plug case, and the second plug terminal is vertically coupled to the first plug terminal.

9 . The power storage connector of claim 8 , wherein the first plug terminal comprises a bump structure and the second plug terminal comprises a hole, the size of bump structure is larger than the hole, and the bump structure is riveted to the hole.

10 . The power storage connector of claim 8 , wherein the power storage connector comprises a second seal ring and a third seal ring, and the plug comprises a back cover connected to the plug case and perpendicular to the first plug terminal, and the second plug terminal is configured in the back cover, the second seal ring is configured in a joint between the plug case and the back cover, and the third seal ring is configured in the back cover.
