Abstract
The present invention relates to a connector in an electric vehicle charger, and more particularly, to a connector in an electric vehicle charger, in which a structure thereof is improved for simplifying the same, minimizing a number of components, enabling to secure reliability in stages of mounting, charging, and coupling/decoupling, and improving durability, a water proof performance, and user's convenience.
Claims20
A connector in an electric vehicle comprising:
- an outer housing;
- a terminal assembly including a terminal housing slidably mounted in the outer housing to be movable forward or backward;
- a handle mounted to the outer housing for receiving a cable electrically connected to the terminal assembly therein;
- a slider connected to the terminal assembly and slidably mounted in the outer housing to be movable forward or backward,
- a lever mounted to the outer housing to be rotatable in a first direction or a second direction for making the slider to move forward or backward;
- a first locking unit for preventing the slider from moving backward when the slider is moved forward;
- a second locking unit for securing the slider in response to an electric, signal selectively when the slider is moved forward;
- and
- an unlocking button for separating the first locking unit from the slider by pressing the first locking unit.
