Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle charging technology, specifically providing a vehicle charging port mounting assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As an essential component of electric and hybrid vehicles, the charging port assembly requires a design that not only meets assembly needs but also combines aesthetics, durability, and safety. Current charging port assemblies are typically fixed to the vehicle body using mounting brackets. These brackets, as lifecycle components, must withstand repeated insertions and removals of the charging port during daily charging without deformation or damage. Furthermore, they must prevent serious damage even in the event of a charging port malfunction or misoperation, thus effectively preventing safety hazards. Therefore, the mounting brackets must possess high design strength and rigidity to meet usage requirements. However, excessively high local strength can hinder the arrangement of force transmission paths on the wheel arch outer panel and easily lead to localized stress concentration. This can cause the wheel arch outer panel to deform easily, resulting in a poor fit between the deformed wheel arch outer panel and the side panel outer panel. Additionally, it can lead to localized water leakage or abnormal noises during vehicle operation, making its design quite challenging.

[0003] Furthermore, based on daily parking habits, the charging port assembly needs to be located at the rear of the vehicle to meet the user's charging needs after reversing into a parking space. However, the rear of the vehicle often needs to accommodate necessary components such as tires. Since the charging port assembly is located in the dry / wet separation area of ​​the vehicle body, its placement space is limited. Therefore, existing charging port assemblies are designed directly in either the wet or dry area, which greatly restricts the location and design of the charging port. At the same time, market demand is also a factor in structural design. Achieving platform-based design and accommodating the installation needs of various domestic and international vehicle models and different charging components is also difficult for existing charging port mounting brackets to meet. Especially when considering user convenience during charging, maximizing the opening angle of the charging port cover, designing a shallow charging port, and optimizing user visibility and ease of operation during charging, the existing charging port assembly installation structure cannot simultaneously meet multiple requirements.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new vehicle charging port mounting assembly and a vehicle to address the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, specifically the issue that the poorly designed installation structure of existing charging port assemblies fails to adequately meet usage requirements, this invention provides a vehicle charging port mounting assembly. The assembly includes a side panel, a charging port assembly, a charging port mounting component, a rear wheel arch cover, and a rear wheel arch cover reinforcing plate. The reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear wheel arch cover. The charging port mounting component includes a mounting bracket and a receiving support member forming a receiving cavity. The mounting bracket is disposed within the receiving cavity and fixedly connected to the receiving support member. The receiving support member is disposed between the side panel and the rear wheel arch cover. The charging port assembly includes a charging port. The device comprises a cover assembly and a charging port assembly. The charging port cover assembly can conceal the charging port assembly. A first mounting opening is provided on the outer side panel. The charging port cover assembly is disposed in the first mounting opening, and the shape of the first mounting opening matches the shape of the outer part of the charging port cover assembly so that the outer part of the charging port cover assembly can conceal the first mounting opening and thus conceal the charging port assembly. A second mounting opening is provided on the receiving support member. A third mounting opening is provided on the outer rear wheel cover. A fourth mounting opening is provided on the reinforcing plate of the outer rear wheel cover. The charging port assembly can be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket by passing through the fourth mounting opening, the third mounting opening, and the second mounting opening in sequence.

[0006] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the shape of the outer edge of the receiving support member matches a portion of the shape of the inner side surface of the side panel, so that the receiving support member can be fitted and connected to the inner side surface of the side panel.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the receiving support member and the side panel are bonded together by vibration damping adhesive.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the mounting bracket includes a mounting plate and mounting legs extending inward along the mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with a through hole. The charging port assembly is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the charging port of the charging port assembly is located at the through hole. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the receiving support member through the mounting legs.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the mounting feet are fixedly connected to the receiving support member by welding.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the receiving support member is fixedly connected to the rear wheel arch outer plate by welding, and / or the rear wheel arch outer plate is fixedly connected to the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate by welding.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, the vehicle charging port mounting assembly further includes a D-pillar reinforcing plate, which is fixedly connected to the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, a portion of the edge shape of the side panel matches a portion of the edge shape of the D-pillar reinforcement plate to be connected by edge binding adhesive; and / or a portion of the edge shape of the side panel matches a portion of the edge shape of the rear wheel arch panel to be connected by edge binding adhesive.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle charging port mounting assembly, a first drainage hole is provided on the receiving support member, and a second drainage hole is provided on the outer plate of the rear wheel arch. The first drainage hole and the second drainage hole are connected by a drainage pipe so as to drain the water in the receiving support member to the outside of the vehicle.

[0014] In addition, the present invention also provides a vehicle, the vehicle including the vehicle charging port mounting assembly described in any of the above preferred technical solutions.

[0015] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in the technical solution of the present invention, the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention includes a side panel outer plate, a charging port assembly, a charging port mounting component, a rear wheel arch outer plate, and a rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate. The rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear wheel arch outer plate. The charging port mounting component includes a mounting bracket and a receiving support member forming a receiving cavity. The mounting bracket is disposed in the receiving cavity and fixedly connected to the receiving support member. The receiving support member is disposed between the side panel outer plate and the rear wheel arch outer plate. The charging port assembly includes a charging port cover assembly and a charging port assembly. The charging port cover assembly is capable of covering... The charging port assembly is concealed. A first mounting opening is provided on the outer side panel. The charging port cover assembly is disposed in the first mounting opening, and the shape of the first mounting opening matches the shape of the outer part of the charging port cover assembly so that the outer part of the charging port cover assembly can cover the first mounting opening, thereby covering the charging port assembly. A second mounting opening is provided on the receiving support member. A third mounting opening is provided on the outer rear wheel cover. A fourth mounting opening is provided on the reinforcing plate of the outer rear wheel cover. The charging port assembly can be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket by passing through the fourth mounting opening, the third mounting opening, and the second mounting opening in sequence.

[0016] This invention secures the charging port assembly by combining the mounting bracket and the receiving support member. The addition of the receiving support member increases the local strength of the area, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the side panel in that region. This effectively prevents noise caused by vibration during vehicle operation and deformation of the area due to pressure during maintenance. It also isolates the passenger compartment from the charging area, preventing water leakage. Furthermore, this design allows the charging port assembly to be positioned closer to the side panel, effectively satisfying the shallow opening design of the charging port. This arrangement is not limited by the molding of the rear wheel arch cover, which is more ergonomic during charging. It significantly reduces the impact of the charging port assembly's shape on the rear wheel arch cover during structural development, effectively shortening the development cycle of the rear wheel arch cover and facilitating platform design.

[0017] Furthermore, by adding the receiving support member, the present invention can effectively achieve the design requirement of dry and wet separation, so that the space between the side panel and the receiving support member changes from a dry area to a wet area. This realizes the arrangement path of the charging port assembly from a wet area to a dry area and then back to a wet area. Since the installation area where the charging port cover assembly is located is always in the wet area, the sealing between the charging port cover assembly and the side panel and between the charging port cover assembly and the charging port assembly is also effectively eliminated, thereby effectively saving arrangement space and sealing costs.

[0018] Furthermore, this invention adds a reinforcing plate to the rear wheel arch outer panel and connects it to the D-pillar reinforcing plate. This increases local strength and stiffness while also connecting to the force transmission path of the vehicle body. This effectively isolates the influence of the charging port assembly on the modal characteristics of the rear wheel arch outer panel, thereby improving the durability and NVH characteristics of this area. This, in turn, helps improve the bending and torsion resistance of the entire vehicle. It also meets the durability requirements of the charging port assembly, which needs to undergo repeated plugging and unplugging, with the lowest cost and lightest weight, ensuring the reliability of charging performance.

[0019] Furthermore, by providing the third mounting port on the outer panel of the rear wheel arch, the present invention allows the charging port assembly to first enter the mounting area from below the outer panel of the rear wheel arch and pre-attach to the mounting bracket during assembly, thereby effectively improving the installation efficiency of the charging port assembly. Then, by tightening the fixing bolts through the first mounting port on the outer panel of the side panel, the size of the charging port cover assembly can be reduced, thus better optimizing the overall vehicle layout. Simultaneously, when the charging port assembly requires maintenance, it can be disassembled and installed from below the outer panel of the rear wheel arch without disassembling the charging port cover assembly, effectively simplifying maintenance operations, improving maintenance efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0020] Furthermore, the present invention also achieves a better connection effect by setting the shape of the outer edge of the receiving support member to match a portion of the inner surface of the side panel, so that the receiving support member can fit snugly to the inner surface of the side panel. In addition, the receiving support member and the side panel are connected by bonding with vibration damping adhesive, leaving a certain gap during connection. During the painting and baking process, the expansion properties of the vibration damping adhesive absorb the gap, thereby absorbing the body tolerance, and at the same time, it can also provide strong support for the side panel, thereby effectively improving the strength and rigidity of the side panel in this area, so as to effectively reduce structural noise and the problem that the area is prone to deformation due to pressure during vehicle maintenance operations.

[0037] First refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,in, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention without the side panel outer plate installed. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention includes a side panel outer plate 11, a charging port assembly, a charging port mounting assembly 13, a rear wheel arch outer plate 14, and a rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15. The rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 (i.e., relative to the inner side of the vehicle). The vehicle of the present invention uses the charging port assembly to charge and replenish its own power. Of course, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure and type of the charging port assembly; those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure and shape of the side panel outer plate 11 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 14; those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. The charging port mounting assembly 13 includes a mounting bracket 131 and a receiving support member 132 forming a receiving cavity. The mounting bracket 131 is disposed in the receiving cavity and fixedly connected to the receiving support member 132. The receiving support member 132 is disposed between the side panel outer plate 11 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 14. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure and shape of the mounting bracket 131 and the housing support member 132, as long as the above-mentioned setting requirements can be met.

[0038] Furthermore, the charging port assembly includes a charging port cover assembly 121 and a charging socket assembly 122. When the charging port cover assembly 121 is in the open state, the charging socket assembly 122 is exposed for charging operations. When the charging port cover assembly 121 is in the closed state, the charging socket assembly 122 is covered and protected by the charging port cover assembly 121. It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the opening and closing methods of the charging port cover assembly 121, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual usage requirements. Furthermore, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the charging socket assembly 122, as long as the charging function can be achieved. A first mounting opening 111 is provided on the side outer panel 11. The charging port cover assembly 121 is disposed in the first mounting opening 111, and the shape of the first mounting opening 111 matches the shape of the outer side (i.e., the outer side of the vehicle) of the charging port cover assembly 121, so that the outer side of the charging port cover assembly 121 can cover the first mounting opening 111, thereby covering the charging port assembly 122. In addition, a second mounting opening 1321 is provided on the receiving support member 132, a third mounting opening 141 is provided on the rear wheel arch outer panel 14, and a fourth mounting opening 151 is provided on the rear wheel arch outer panel reinforcing plate 15. The charging port assembly 122 can be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 131 by passing through the fourth mounting opening 151, the third mounting opening 141, and the second mounting opening 1321 from the inside to the outside.

[0039] Continue reading Figure 1 and 2 ,like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the outer portion of the charging port cover assembly 121, i.e., the left portion in the figure, is pentagonal. The first mounting opening 111 on the side panel 11 is also pentagonal, and the edge of the first mounting opening 111 extends inward to meet the snap-fit ​​requirements of the charging port cover assembly 121, so that the charging port cover assembly 121 can be more securely filled into the first mounting opening 111. In addition, since the vehicle body design has achieved dry and wet separation, the snap-fit ​​area does not need to ensure continuous flange to guarantee waterproof effect. Therefore, process holes can be appropriately used to reduce the stamping difficulty of the side panel 11. Of course, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific location and shape of the first mounting opening 111, as long as the charging port cover assembly 121 can be connected to the first mounting opening 111 and achieve the effect of shielding the charging port assembly 122. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific fixing method of the charging port cover assembly 121, and technicians can set it themselves according to actual usage needs; preferably, the charging port cover assembly 121 is connected to the side outer panel 11 by a snap-fit ​​method, so as to effectively improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0040] Further, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in, Figure 4 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the charging port mounting assembly of the present invention. Figures 2 to 5As shown, in a preferred configuration, the main body of the receiving support member 132 is configured as a square bowl-shaped structure. A wire harness hole 1323 is provided on the side of this bowl-shaped structure to allow the wire harness to pass through. Of course, this invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific location, shape, or size of the wire harness hole 1323; those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. When the receiving support member 132 is installed, the open end of the bowl-shaped structure is located near the side panel 11, and its bottom is located near the rear wheel arch panel 14. The second mounting port 1321 is located inside the receiving support member 132, i.e., at the bottom of the bowl-shaped structure. Those skilled in the art can set the specific shape and size of the second mounting port 1321 according to actual usage requirements, as long as the charging port assembly 122 can pass through the second mounting port 1321. Furthermore, the top edge of the receiving support member 132, i.e., the edge shape of the open end of the bowl-shaped structure, matches a portion of the shape of the inner surface of the side panel 11, so that the receiving support member 132 can better fit and connect to the inner surface of the side panel 11. As a preferred arrangement, the top edge of the receiving support member 132 extends outward to form a flange structure, so that the receiving support member 132 can be fitted to the inner side surface of the side panel 11 through the flange structure, so as to further improve the tightness of the fit.

[0041] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the manufacturing method and materials of the mounting bracket 131 and the receiving support member 132. Technicians can select them according to actual usage requirements. As a preferred configuration, the receiving support member 132 can adopt a dual injection molding scheme of plastic and hot melt adhesive to better absorb tolerances and achieve better waterproof effect. In addition, the mounting bracket 131 can be made of plastic and then fixedly connected by screws.

[0042] In addition, as a preferred connection method, the supporting member 132 and the side outer panel 11 are bonded together using vibration-damping adhesive. Of course, the present invention does not limit the specific type of vibration-damping adhesive, and those skilled in the art can select it according to actual usage needs, as long as the bonding effect can be achieved. It should also be noted that the connection method of bonding with vibration-damping adhesive is only a preferred connection method, but not a limiting one, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual usage needs.

A through hole 1313 is provided in the center of the mounting plate 1311. Of course, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific shape of the mounting plate 1311 or the specific shape and number of the mounting legs 1312; technicians can set them according to actual usage requirements. The mounting plate 1311 is provided with multiple mounting holes for bolts to pass through. After the charging port assembly 122 is pre-mounted, the operator tightens the bolts through the first mounting port 111, thereby fixing the mounting plate 1311 and the charging port assembly 122 together. With the mounting plate 1311 and charging port assembly 122 in place, the through hole 1313 aligns with the first mounting port 111, and the charging port of the charging port assembly 122 is exposed through the through hole 1313. Technicians can determine the specific shape of the through hole 1313 based on the specific shape of the charging port of the charging port assembly 122. It should be noted that this invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific connection method between the charging port assembly 122 and the mounting bracket 131, or the specific connection method between the mounting bracket 131 and the receiving support member 132. Technicians can set these methods according to actual usage requirements. As a preferred connection method, the mounting leg 1312 is fixedly connected to the receiving support member 132 by welding to effectively ensure the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0044] Continue reading Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred configuration, the inner side of the receiving support member 132 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 by welding to ensure the reliability of the connection. Spot welding is preferred to improve assembly efficiency. With the receiving support member 132 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 in place, the third mounting port 141 and the second mounting port 1321 are aligned so that the charging port assembly 122 and its wiring harness can pass through. Of course, the present invention does not impose any limitations on the specific shape and size of the third mounting port 141, as long as the charging port assembly 122 can pass through the third mounting port 141 and the second mounting port 1321 in sequence and be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 131.

[0045] Furthermore, the outer side of the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 by welding to effectively ensure the reliability and stability of the connection. Spot welding is preferred to improve assembly efficiency. With the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15 in place, the fourth mounting port 151 aligns perfectly with the third mounting port 141 and the second mounting port 1321, allowing the charging port assembly 122 and its wiring harness to pass through smoothly. Of course, this invention does not impose any limitations on the specific shape and size of the fourth mounting port 151, as long as the charging port assembly 122 can pass through the fourth mounting port 151, the third mounting port 141, and the second mounting port 1321 sequentially and be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 131.

[0046] Furthermore, the vehicle charging port mounting assembly of the present invention also includes a D-pillar reinforcing plate 16, which is fixedly connected to the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 and the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15, respectively, so that the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15 can be connected to the force transmission path of the vehicle body through the D-pillar reinforcing plate 16, thereby assisting in improving the bending and torsion of the entire vehicle. The D-pillar reinforcing plate 16 is preferably fixedly connected to the rear wheel arch outer plate 14 and the rear wheel arch outer plate reinforcing plate 15 by welding to effectively ensure connection strength. It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitations on the specific structure and shape of the D-pillar reinforcing plate 16; those skilled in the art can design it according to actual usage requirements.

[0047] Furthermore, as a preferred connection method, a portion of the edge shape of the side panel 11 matches a portion of the edge shape of the D-pillar reinforcement plate 16, so that the side panel 11 and the D-pillar reinforcement plate 16 can be connected by edge binding adhesive. In addition, a portion of the edge shape of the side panel 11 matches a portion of the edge shape of the rear wheel arch panel 14, so that the side panel 11 and the rear wheel arch panel 14 can also be connected by edge binding adhesive, thereby simultaneously ensuring the reliability and aesthetics of the connection.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 5 ,like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, a first drain hole 1322 is provided on the receiving support member 132, preferably located at the lowest point of the receiving support member 132. A corresponding second drain hole 142 is provided on the rear wheel arch outer plate 14.
