AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing charging port structure and cover design are not suitable for vehicles with a compact front structure and limited space, resulting in the cover taking up a lot of space when flipped, affecting the overall neatness and aesthetics of the vehicle.

Method used

The cover plate adopts an arc or folded structure, which, together with the base and the fixing frame, forms a receiving space. This makes the cover plate occupy less space when it is flipped. The receiving space is formed by the connection between the cover plate and the base, avoiding the flipping action of the cover plate and improving the space utilization rate.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the space requirement when the cover is flipped, improves the overall neatness and aesthetics of the vehicle during charging, and is suitable for compact models.

Abstract

This application relates to the field of vehicle charging and discharging technology, providing a device and vehicle with charging and / or discharging functions. The device includes a base, a mounting bracket, and a cover. The mounting bracket is disposed on the base. The mounting bracket includes an end plate and a connector extending from the end plate toward the base and connected to the base. The end plate has an opening for charging and / or discharging. The connector is recessed to form a receiving space; alternatively, the connector and the base enclose the receiving space. The cover has an arc-shaped or folded structure, and has a retracted state with the end plate open, and a blocking state covering the end plate. When the cover is in the retracted state, the end of the cover closest to the base faces the receiving space. The cover has a smaller flip angle and occupies less space when flipped. The cover is stored in the receiving space, effectively improving the neatness of the cover storage and space utilization during charging and / or discharging, making it suitable for use in vehicles with a compact front structure and limited space.
