Description

Technical Field

[0002] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the charging port cover hinge device 01 in the prior art includes a charging port cover 02 and a hinge structure 04. The charging port cover 02 is arranged at one end of the hinge structure 04. The inner surface of the charging port cover 02 is provided with a lock 05 and a limiting structure 06. The other end of the hinge structure 04 is fixed to a hinge mounting seat 07. Figure 1 As shown, the front logo 03 of the vehicle body is fixed on the outer surface of the charging port cover 02 by double-sided adhesive. Figure 2 As shown, the front logo 03, hinge structure 04, lock 05 and limit structure 06 are all made on the charging port cover 02. Figure 3 As shown, the hinge mechanism 04 has a pin 08 passing through the hinge mounting seat 07 and is clamped by a retaining spring 09 at the end of the pin 08. This structure has the following problems:

[0003] 1. The pin shaft 08 passes through the hinge mounting seat 07, and the pin shaft 08 shakes inside the hinge mounting seat 08, thereby causing the charging port cover 02 to shake during the opening / closing process.

[0004] 2. The installation and operation space of the retaining spring 09, the pin shaft 08 and the hinge structure 04 is limited, the assembly man-machine skills are poor, and the assembly reliability is poor.

[0005] 3. In order to prevent shrinkage on the surface of the charging port cover 02 that would affect the appearance, the root thickness of the hinge structure 04, the lock 05 and the limiting structure 06 is only 0.8mm. Although there are reinforcing ribs at the root, the strength is still insufficient.

[0006] 4. The position of the lock buckle 05 deviates from the hinge structure 04, causing the locking spring to be deformed due to unbalanced force, resulting in locking failure, and the root of the lock buckle is too thin and prone to breakage. Summary of the invention
