These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0064] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0065] With the increasing electrification of charging port covers, motors are usually installed inside. However, the addition of motors will make the overall size of the charging port cover larger. Furthermore, the vehicle body needs to make structural adjustments to accommodate the motors, which is also a challenge for the structural space design of the vehicle body.

[0066] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment discloses a vehicle comprising a vehicle body and a charging port assembly. Specifically, the vehicle can be a new energy electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid vehicle. It can be any vehicle equipped with a battery and a charging port assembly.

[0067] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the charging port assembly includes a side panel 1, a charging port sealing plate 2, a charging base 3, and a charging port cover assembly. The charging port assembly is located at the rear of the vehicle body, and the side panel 1 is specifically the rear fender of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the charging port assembly can also be located at the front of the vehicle body, in which case the side panel 1 is specifically the front fender of the vehicle.

[0068] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the side panel 1 has an installation opening, and the charging port sealing plate 2 is basin-shaped, specifically elongated basin-shaped, with a pointed end near the rear of the vehicle; that is, the charging port sealing plate 2 is pentagonal, with two right angles rounded at the corners. The shape of the installation opening is the same as the outer contour of the charging port sealing plate 2. The charging port sealing plate 2 is located inside the installation opening and is fixed and sealed to the side panel 1. Specifically, the charging port sealing plate 2 has connecting ears 25 at both ends, and the connecting ears 25 have positioning holes. The positioning fixture has positioning pins. During welding, the positioning pins of the positioning fixture are inserted into the positioning holes for positioning. After welding is completed, the positioning fixture is removed. The space between the charging port sealing plate 2 and the side panel 1 is filled with sealant. Specifically, the side of the charging port sealing plate 2 facing the side panel 1 has a sealing groove 21, and the sealant is filled in the sealing groove 21; the sealing groove 21 provides a cavity for the sealant, allowing sufficient sealant to seal the charging port sealing plate 2 and the side panel 1. The sealing with sealant can achieve dry and wet separation; that is, the dry area on the outside of the charging port sealing plate 2 is separated from the wet area inside the cavity of the charging port sealing plate 2.

[0069] The side of the charging port sealing plate 2 away from the side panel 1 is fixedly connected to the wheel cover outer plate 6, specifically by welding, or more specifically by spot welding. The two sides of the charging port sealing plate 2 are connected to the side panel 1 and the wheel cover outer plate 6 respectively, so that the position of the charging port sealing plate 2 is fixed and not easy to shake, so as to install the charging base 3 and the charging port cover assembly, etc.

[0070] Reference Figure 2-4, the charging base 3 is at least partially disposed within the pelvic cavity of the charging port cover plate 2 and is located at the first end of the pelvic cavity. The charging base 3 is used for electrically connecting with the plug connector to charge the battery. Specifically, one end of the charging base 3 with the charging port is located within the pelvic cavity, and the other end is located outside the pelvic cavity and is connected to the charging wire led out from the battery, so that the plug connector can charge the battery through the charging base 3 and the charging wire.

[0071] As Figure 4-6 shown, the charging port assembly further includes a reinforcing plate 5 which provides mounting points for the charging base 3. The reinforcing plate 5 is disposed within the pelvic cavity, specifically at the first end of the pelvic cavity. The end of the reinforcing plate 5 is fixed to the charging port cover plate 2, and the charging base 3 is fixed to the reinforcing plate 5. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing plate 5 is "U" shaped, and the leg edges of the reinforcing plate 5 are fixed to the charging port cover plate 2, specifically by welding, screwing or riveting. Both ends of the leg edges are fixed to the charging port cover plate 2. The charging base 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the reinforcing plate 5. Specifically, the charging base 3 is first hooked or clamped to the reinforcing plate 5 and then fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 5. Preferably, in this embodiment, a pre-hanging hole 52 is provided on the top surface of the reinforcing plate 5, and a hook is provided on the charging base 3, and the hook can be hung on the pre-hanging hole 52 to realize the hanging connection of the charging base 3 on the reinforcing plate 5. A connection hole is also provided on the top surface. After the hanging connection is in place, the reinforcing plate 5 and the charging base 3 are fixedly connected by a screw 53 passing through the connection hole. Fixing the charging base 3 on the reinforcing plate 5 can improve the structural strength of the installation, thus ensuring the stability of the charging base 3.

[0072] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 , a maintenance hole 51 is provided on the side surface of the reinforcing plate 5, which is specifically located on the side surface close to the first end of the charging port cover plate 2. The maintenance hole 51 can be used during disassembly for easy maintenance.

[0073] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 , after being installed in place, the charging port cover plate 2 is provided with a drain hole 22 at the bottom position, and a drain pipe is connected to the drain hole 22. The water flowing into the pelvic cavity due to car washing, rain, etc. will converge to the bottom of the pelvic cavity and be discharged from the drain hole 22 and the drain pipe. This prevents the water from flowing along the charging base 3 and can also protect the interior structure of the vehicle from being wet. Timely discharging the water in the pelvic cavity can also ensure that the charging base 3 and the plug connector do not short-circuit, and can also ensure that the driving component 43 is not wet, enabling the driving component 43 to effectively drive the charging port outer plate 41 to rotate.

[0074] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the charging port cover assembly includes a drive assembly 43, a mounting bracket 42, and a charging port outer plate 41. The mounting bracket 42 is mounted on the side outer plate 1 or the charging port sealing plate 2. Specifically, the shape of the mounting bracket 42 matches the mounting port, and it is installed inside the mounting port. The mounting bracket 42 is mounted on the side outer plate 1 by snap-fit. Specifically, at the edges of the mounting bracket 42 and the mounting port, one is provided with a first snap-fit ​​part, and the other is provided with a second snap-fit ​​part that snaps with the first snap-fit ​​part. One of the first snap-fit ​​part and the second snap-fit ​​part is a buckle 421, and the other is a snap-fit ​​edge 11. Preferably, in this embodiment, the buckle 421 is provided at the edge of the mounting bracket 42, and the slot is provided at the edge of the mounting port. Specifically, a buckle 421 is provided on each side of the mounting bracket 42, and a corresponding snap-fit ​​edge 11 protrudes at the corresponding position at the edge of the mounting port. This arrangement allows each edge of the side outer plate 1 to be snapped, ensuring the stability of the connection between the side outer plate 1 and the mounting bracket 42. The snap-fit ​​connection makes it easy to repair.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The drive assembly 43 is mounted on the mounting bracket 42, and the charging port outer plate 41 is mounted on the drive assembly 43. The drive assembly 43 is located inside the pelvic cavity and at the second end of the pelvic cavity. The drive assembly 43 can drive the charging port outer plate 41 to open and close. Specifically, the drive assembly 43 includes a drive member 431, and a bent rotating arm 432 is provided on the inner side of the charging port outer plate 41. The rotating arm 432 is specifically bent in an arc shape. An avoidance slot is provided on the mounting bracket 42 so that the rotating arm 432 can swing within the avoidance slot. The drive member 431 is specifically a drive motor. The output end of the drive member 431 is connected to the end of the rotating arm 432 away from the charging port outer plate 41. The two are specifically connected by a coupling, gear, or chain, etc. The drive member 431 is used to drive the charging port outer plate 41 to rotate through the rotating arm 432, so as to open or close it. Both the drive member 431 and a portion of the rotating arm 432, with the end connected to the drive member 431, are located within the pelvic cavity, and the components that drive the drive member 431 and the rotating arm 432 are also located within the pelvic cavity. After the charging port outer plate 41 is closed, most of the rotating arm 432 will also retract into the pelvic cavity. In other embodiments, the drive member 431 is an electric actuator or the like, in which case it is driven by the rotating arm 432 via gears and racks.

[0076] The charging base 3 is located at the first end of the basin, and the drive assembly 43 is located at the second end of the basin; this allows both the charging base 3 and the drive assembly 43 to be placed inside the basin, and the structure is relatively compact; it reduces the size of the charging port assembly, so that the charging port assembly can be laid out and installed in the vehicle body without structural deviation.

[0077] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The second end of the charging port cover 2 is provided with a mounting hole 23 for the wiring harness 7 to pass through. The wiring harness 7 connects the drive unit 431 and the battery. Specifically, a first connector is provided on the drive unit 431, and a second connector is provided on the wiring harness 7. The wiring harness 7 can be electrically connected to the drive unit 431 through the insertion and cooperation of the first connector and the second connector. The battery can supply power to the drive unit 431 through the wiring harness 7, so that the drive unit 431 can drive the charging port outer plate 41 to rotate. A sealing plug is provided on the mounting hole 23, and the wiring harness 7 passes through the sealing plug. The sealing plug can achieve a sealing function, so as to achieve dry and wet separation between the basin cavity and the vehicle interior.

[0078] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The charging port assembly also includes a charging port cover 44, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 42. The charging port cover 44 is used to cover the cavity. The charging port cover 44 has a clearance hole facing the plug interface of the charging base 3, and the plug can pass through the clearance hole and be inserted into the plug interface. A clearance opening is provided at the position corresponding to the clearance slot so that the rotating arm 432 can pass through.

[0079] After the charging port assembly is installed in place, when charging is required, the drive motor drives the rotating arm 432 to rotate outward so that the outer plate 41 of the charging port can be opened; the connector is plugged into the charging base 3 to charge the battery.

[0080] After charging is complete, unplug the connector, and then drive the motor to rotate the arm 432 inward so that the charging port outer plate 41 is closed.

[0081] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
