HIGH-CURRENT CONNECTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18626495 titled 'HIGH-CURRENT CONNECTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The abstract describes a high-current connector for an electric vehicle, consisting of a housing, a screen housing, and a high-current contact device. The screen housing is located within the housing, and the high-current contact device is within the screen housing. The screen housing includes a deep-drawn first screen housing shell and a first catch spring connected to the shell without gaps. The housing has a projection facing the housing interior, and the first catch spring blocks movement of the screen housing along a certain axis by striking the projection.
- The high-current connector includes a housing, a screen housing, and a high-current contact device.
- The screen housing is located within the housing and contains the high-current contact device.
- The screen housing features a deep-drawn first screen housing shell and a first catch spring connected to the shell without gaps.
- The housing has a projection that the first catch spring strikes to block movement of the screen housing along a specific axis.
- The design prevents unwanted movement of the screen housing within the connector.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Charging stations - Industrial machinery
Problems Solved: - Secure high-current connection - Prevent unwanted movement of components
Benefits: - Reliable high-current transmission - Enhanced safety - Durable design
Commercial Applications: Title: High-Current Connector for Electric Vehicles: Commercial Uses and Market Implications This technology can be utilized in electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and industrial equipment, enhancing their performance and safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the high-current connector improve safety in electric vehicles? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this connector in industrial machinery?
Original Abstract Submitted
A high-current connector for an electric vehicle includes a housing, a screen housing and a high-current contact device. The housing surrounds a housing interior, in which the screen housing is arranged. The screen housing delimits a screen housing interior, in which the high-current contact device is arranged. The screen housing has a deep-drawn first screen housing shell and a first catch spring extending away from the screen housing interior and connected to the first screen housing shell without gaps. The housing has a projection at a side facing the housing interior. The first catch spring extends along a first axis and the projection is orientated inclined relative to the first axis. The first catch spring blocks, with a first catch face orientated inclined relative to the first axis, a movement of the screen housing along the first axis by the first catch face striking the projection.
