Background
As a new energy automobile driven by pure electric power, compared with an internal combustion engine automobile using petroleum as fuel, the electric automobile not only greatly reduces the pollution to the atmospheric environment, but also relieves the dependence and consumption of people on natural resources, so that the new energy automobile mainly using electric power becomes an important trend of automobile technology development, and has already occupied a certain proportion and continuously increased in the automobile market along with the continuous development and perfection of the electric automobile technology.
However, electric vehicles do not have a long development history like fuel vehicles, and a gas station which is visible everywhere can provide sufficient and stable power support for the electric vehicles, and is limited by a charging technology, so that the charging of the electric vehicles becomes a great technical problem, and is limited by a site and has a long charging time.
Therefore, the quick-change battery box synchronously arranged on the electric automobile is produced, but in the process of replacing and disassembling the battery pack, a circuit connecting system on the quick-change battery box is exposed, so that impurities in the air enter the quick-change battery box, particularly in the process of replacing and disassembling the battery pack in rainy days, water vapor and granular impurities in the air are easier to enter the quick-change battery box, the short circuit phenomenon is easy to occur due to poor contact of the circuit, and great potential safety hazards exist when the battery pack on the quick-change battery box is frequently replaced and disassembled.
Therefore, there is a need for a sealing structure of an electrical connector used in a quick-change battery box to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional quick-change electrical connector thereon.
