Detailed Implementation

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0045] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] like Figure 13 As shown, the cover module 700 is located on the rear side of the vehicle, roughly at the intersection of the side panel area 910, the bumper area 920, and the taillight area 930. When charging is initiated after parking, the cover module 700 is opened, exposing the internal charging bracket 200, allowing the charging head on the charging pile to engage with the plug-in module 800 inside the charging bracket 200, thus initiating the charging process.

[0047] It should be noted that:

[0048] Side panel area 910 refers to the area where the side panel 100 is located, bumper area 920 refers to the area where the rear bumper of the vehicle body is located, and taillight area 930 refers to the area where the taillights and taillight panel 500 are located.

[0049] Because the charging bracket 200 is located at the intersection of the side panel area 910, bumper area 920, and taillight area 930, the installation environment is exceptionally complex. On the one hand, the charging bracket 200 needs to reliably seal with the side panel 100 and taillight panel 500; on the other hand, it requires dry and wet separation at the charging bracket 200 location. During implementation, the applicant discovered that the side panel 100 has a non-regular surface contour, making it difficult to mold the charging bracket 200 to a structure that perfectly matches the side panel 100, posing significant challenges to the sealing fit between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. The large gap between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100 makes it difficult to achieve the desired sealing effect using only sealant, resulting in connection between the dry and wet areas.

[0050] Therefore, this application provides a charging port mounting structure for automobiles, please refer to... Figures 1 to 5 The charging port mounting structure for automobiles includes a side panel 100, a charging bracket 200, a frame 330, and a sealing assembly 300. Among them:

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the charging bracket 200 has a first through hole 211.

[0052] The first through hole 211 is used to allow the car's charging head to pass through and be plugged into the plug module 800. Therefore, the first through hole 211 is equivalent to a charging port. The plug module 800 is connected to the battery module on the car to charge the battery module after the charging head is plugged into the plug module 800.

[0053] like Figure 5As shown, the frame 330 is disposed between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. The sealing assembly 300 is located between the frame 330, the charging bracket 200, and the side panel 100 to ensure a sealing fit between the frame 330, the charging bracket 200, and the side panel 100. The frame 330, located between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200, fills the gap between them. The frame 330 and the sealing assembly 300 seal the connection between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. The frame 330 also supports the sealing assembly 300, preventing insufficient sealing strength caused by using a simple sealing body.

[0054] The charging port mounting structure for automobiles has a frame 330 between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200. The frame 330 and the sealing component 300 achieve a reliable seal between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. This solves the problem of unreliable sealing caused by a large distance between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200. At the same time, it also ensures reliable dry and wet separation of the charging bracket 200, preventing liquid from entering the dry area due to poor sealing performance.

[0055] Alternatively, the frame 330 may be made of nylon or plastic.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The frame 330 is provided with a fixing part 331 and a filling part 332. The fixing part 331 is used to fix the frame 330 to the charging bracket 200, and the filling part 332 has a filling groove 3321 with the opening facing the side panel 100. The sealing assembly 300 includes a first sealing body 310, one side of the first sealing body 310 is located in the filling groove 3321, and the other side of the first sealing body 310 is connected to the side panel 100.

[0057] The fixing part 331 is located on the side of the frame 330 facing the charging bracket 200, and the fixing part 331 is fixed to the charging bracket 200. The opening of the filling groove 3321 faces the side panel 100, and the first sealing body 310 is disposed between the filling part 332 and the side panel 100. With this arrangement, a reliable seal is achieved between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket through the joint arrangement of the frame 330 and the first sealing body 310.

[0058] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the frame 330 has a fixing part 331 on the side facing the charging bracket 200, and the frame 330 is fixed on the charging bracket 200 by means of the fixing part 331.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The frame 330 is also provided with a baffle 333, which is arranged adjacent to the filling part 332. The baffle 333 extends toward one side of the side panel 100, and the distance between the baffle 333 and the side panel 100 is smaller than the distance between the filling part 332 and the side panel 100.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the baffle 333 and the filling part 332 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the distance between the baffle 333 and the side panel 100 is smaller than the distance between the filling part 332 and the side panel 100. The baffle 333 is used to make the first sealing body 310 as much as possible located on one side of the frame 330, so that the opposite sides of the first sealing body 310 can fit tightly against the frame 330, the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200, and achieve a better sealing effect.

[0061] like Figure 5 From the perspective shown, the baffle 333 can prevent the first sealing body 310 from overflowing to the lower left as much as possible, thereby allowing the first sealing body 310 to fill the gap between the baffle 333 and the side panel 100 and the gap between the filling part 332 and the side panel 100 as much as possible, thus achieving a better sealing effect.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The sealing assembly 300 also includes a second sealing body 320, which is located between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100, and a first sealing body 310 is located between the second sealing body 320 and the baffle portion 333.

[0063] The first sealing body 310 is located between the second sealing body 320 and the baffle 333, which means that the first sealing body 310 and the second sealing body 320 are provided on the same side of the baffle 333, thus forming two seals. The double sealing structure makes the seal between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100 more reliable.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, there is a step difference between the fixing part 331 and the filling part 332. This step difference can fill the large gap between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it enables the first sealing body 310 and the second sealing body 320 to achieve different degrees of sealing, thus ensuring the reliability of the seal.

[0065] Reference Figure 7 The second sealing body 320 can be disposed on the fixing part 331. When the second sealing body 320 is an expanding adhesive, the second sealing body 3202 mainly expands from the fixing part 331 toward one side of the side panel 100 to achieve a seal between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. Of course, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the second sealing body 320 can also be directly disposed between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. When the second sealing body 320 is an expanding adhesive, the second sealing body 320 is not easily blocked by the fixing part, so that the second sealing body 320 can freely expand evenly towards one side of the charging bracket 200 and one side of the side panel 100, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixing part 331 is provided with a fixing seat 3311 and a fixing screw 3312. Multiple fixing seats 3311 and fixing screws 3312 are provided and correspond one to one. The fixing screws 3312 fix the fixing seat 3311 to the charging bracket 200, thereby realizing the fixed cooperation between the frame 330 and the charging bracket 200.

[0067] In one embodiment, both the first sealing body 310 and the second sealing body 320 are expanding adhesives.

[0068] The expanding adhesive can expand between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100 and fill the space between them, thus achieving a better sealing effect with the support of the frame 330.

[0069] Optionally, both the first seal 310 and the second seal 320 are baffle expanding adhesive. Baffle expanding adhesive becomes harder after foaming, thereby improving the dent resistance of the outer area of ​​the side panel 100 and preventing the formation of a pressure can effect.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 The charging bracket 200 has a first through hole 211. The charging port mounting structure for automobiles also includes a casting 400, which is located on the side of the charging bracket 200 away from the side panel 100. The casting 400 has a first support portion 410, which protrudes towards one side of the charging bracket 200. The first support portion 410 has a second through hole 411, which corresponds to the first through hole 211. The charging bracket 200 has a mating portion 210, which corresponds to the first support portion 410, so that the first support portion 410 and the mating portion 210 are sealed together. The first through hole 211 is provided on the mating portion 210.

[0071] The charging stand 200 needs to withstand countless insertion and removal conflicts throughout its entire lifespan, and it also needs to be considered whether it will be damaged in the event of misinsertion or abuse. Therefore, the insertion and removal resistance of the charging stand 200 is also required to be very high.

[0072] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, the casting 400 has a first support portion 410 protruding towards the side of the charging bracket 200. The first support portion 410 is used to support the mating portion 210 of the charging bracket 200 to improve the plugging and unplugging resistance of the charging bracket 200, avoid damage after long-term plugging and unplugging, and also prevent the charging bracket 200 from being moved during the plugging and unplugging process.

[0073] Optionally, the first support portion 410 and the mating portion 210 are connected by welding.

[0074] Furthermore, welding structural adhesive and coating sealant are provided between the first support part 410 and the mating part 210, which improves the connection strength and sealing effect through double sealing and avoids shaking in the edge area.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first support portion 410 is integrally formed with the casting 400. In this case, the first support portion 410 and the casting 400 can be integrally stamped.

[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first support portion 410 may not be integrally formed with the casting 400. In this case, the first support portion 410 is supported between the charging bracket 200 and the casting 400, and also serves to support the mating portion 210 on the charging bracket 200. Of course, in this case, as... Figure 4 As shown, the casting 400 is also provided with a third through hole 430, which corresponds to the positions of the second through hole 411 and the first through hole 211, and will not be described in detail here.

[0077] Optionally, the first support portion 410 is bowl-shaped, with the rim facing away from the charging bracket 200, and the mating portion 210 matches the contour of the first support portion 410 to achieve a better sealing fit.

[0078] Optionally, casting 400 is the CD pillar of the car.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The charging port mounting structure for automobiles also includes a taillight plate 500, and the edge of the charging bracket 200 is sealed to the edge of the taillight plate 500.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the taillight panel 500 is sealed to the edge of the charging bracket 200 so that a boundary line between the dry and wet areas is formed between the charging bracket 200 and the taillight panel 500, ensuring the separation of the dry and wet areas.

[0081] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4and Figure 10 The casting 400 is also provided with at least one second support portion 420, which protrudes toward one side of the charging bracket 200 and is used to support the edge of the charging bracket 200.

[0082] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the second support portion 420 is provided with at least one to support the edge of the charging bracket 200, thereby improving the supporting function of the charging bracket 200 and enhancing its resistance to insertion and removal. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the edge of the charging bracket 200 is located between the edge of the taillight panel 500 and the second support portion 420.

[0083] like Figure 10 As shown, there are two second support portions 420. The second support portion 420 is generally a convex column structure. There is a gap between the two second support portions 420 to better support the different positions of the edge between the charging points.

[0084] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The charging port mounting structure for automobiles also includes a wheel cover plate 600, a portion of which is located between the casting 400 and the charging bracket 200, and the wheel cover plate 600 is sealed to both the casting 400 and the charging bracket 200.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, the wheel cover plate 600, the casting 400, and the charging bracket 200 are all sealed together to improve the sealing performance of the charging bracket 200 and ensure the separation of the dry and wet areas.

[0086] The first support part 410 provides good support for the charging bracket 200, improving its resistance to plugging and unplugging. During the plugging and unplugging process, the charging bracket 200 is not easily moved. At the same time, it also prevents the side panel 100, taillight panel 500, wheel cover panel 600, etc. from being moved along with the charging bracket 200, making the structure more stable.

[0087] Optionally, a welding structural adhesive and a coated sealant are provided between the charging bracket 200 and the wheel cover plate 600 to achieve effective sealing through a double seal; a welding structural adhesive and a coated sealant are also provided between the charging bracket 200 and the casting 400, thereby achieving effective sealing through a double seal. Specifically, the welding structural adhesive is applied to the surface contact area, while the coated sealant is applied to the edge area. The implementation method is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] The charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100 are reliably sealed through the frame 330, the first sealing body 310, and the second sealing body 320. The mating part 210 of the charging bracket 200 and the first support part 410 of the casting 400 are reliably sealed through welding structural adhesive and applying sealant. The charging bracket 200 and the taillight plate 500 are reliably sealed through welding structural adhesive and applying sealant. The charging bracket 200 and the wheel arch plate 600 are also reliably sealed through welding structural adhesive and applying sealant. Of course, the charging bracket 200 and the side panel of the side panel 100 are also sealed with welding structural adhesive and applying sealant to achieve a reliable seal. This arrangement ensures a reliable seal between the charging bracket 200 and its contacting side panel 100, casting 400, taillight plate 500, and wheel arch plate 600, guaranteeing dry and wet separation.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The frame 330 is arranged in a strip shape and extends circumferentially along the charging bracket 200. The part of the charging bracket 200 away from the ground is sealed to the side panel 100 through the frame 330 and the sealing component 300. The side of the charging bracket 200 facing the ground forms a drainage part 220.

[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the frame 330 is arranged in a strip shape, extending along the joint area between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100, that is, extending along the circumference of the charging bracket 200, but not extending around the entire circumference, to achieve a sealing fit between the upper part of the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. The lower part of the charging bracket 200 can be connected to the rear sealing plate of the side panel and extend to an area that can communicate with the outside to form a drainage section 220. The side of the charging bracket 200 away from the casting 400 forms a wet area, and the liquid in the wet area can be directly discharged through the drainage section 220, thus eliminating the need to open a drainage channel or consider how to lead out the liquid through the drainage channel.

[0091] like Figure 1 From the perspective shown, the drainage section 220 is roughly located in the lower area of ​​the charging bracket 200. The side of the charging bracket 200 facing the outside of the vehicle body is the wet area, and the side facing the inside of the vehicle body is the dry area. When there is liquid in the wet area, it can be automatically drained through the drainage section 220.

[0092] This application also provides a vehicle including a charging port mounting structure for a vehicle as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0093] The vehicle adopts the aforementioned charging port installation structure for automobiles. A frame 330 is provided between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200. The frame 330 and the sealing component 300 achieve a reliable seal between the charging bracket 200 and the side panel 100. This solves the problem of unreliable sealing caused by the large distance between the side panel 100 and the charging bracket 200. At the same time, it also ensures reliable dry and wet separation of the charging bracket 200, preventing liquid from entering the dry area due to poor sealing performance.

[0094] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0095] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0096] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0097] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0098] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0099] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0100] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
