Detailed Implementation

[0048] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0049] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the vehicle's outer contour. Specifically, the direction pointing from the external environment to the vehicle's outer contour is an inward direction, and vice versa. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements, which this disclosure will not repeat.

[0050] According to a specific embodiment of this disclosure, a charging port assembly is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the charging port assembly includes: a base plate 1 with a charging port 11; a cover plate 2 adapted to the charging port 11 to open or close the charging port 11; a first drive mechanism 3 connected to the cover plate 2 to drive the cover plate 2 to open or close the charging port 11; a charging terminal 4; and a second drive mechanism 5 that drives the charging terminal 4 to move between a charging position and a waiting-to-charge position. When the charging terminal 4 is in the charging position, the charging gun of an external charging device can be connected to the charging terminal 4 through the charging port 11.

[0051] Through the above technical solution, in the charging port assembly provided in this disclosure, when the vehicle needs to be charged, the first drive mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to switch to the open position, and the second drive mechanism 5 drives the charging terminal 4 to switch to the charging position. At this time, the charging port 11 is open, and the charging gun can connect to the charging terminal 4 to charge the vehicle. This simplifies the charging operation steps and makes it more convenient for users. In addition, the first drive mechanism 3 can automatically open or close the cover plate 2 to open the charging port; the second drive mechanism 5 can automatically switch the charging terminal 4 between the charging position and the waiting-to-charge position. This improves the convenience of user charging and enhances the automation level of the charging port assembly. After charging is completed, the second drive mechanism 5 can drive the charging terminal 4 to switch to the waiting-to-charge position. At this time, the charging gun cannot connect to the charging terminal 4, that is, the charging terminal 4 and the charging port 11 are at least partially staggered. This prevents rainwater or dust from directly contacting the charging terminal 4 when the cover plate 2 fails to close the charging port 11 in time. Furthermore, when the vehicle is in motion or parked, the charging terminal 4 can be pre-switched to the charging position. This prevents rainwater or dust from directly contacting the charging terminal 4 even if the cover 2 accidentally opens the charging port 11. Therefore, the charging port assembly disclosed herein simplifies the charging process and reduces the probability of the charging terminal 4 coming into contact with rainwater or dust.

[0052] In the specific embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second driving mechanism 5 includes a second driving member 51 and a second transmission member 52. The second driving member 51 is connected to the second transmission member 52, and the second transmission member 52 is connected to the charging terminal 4 so that the charging terminal 4 can move along a first direction; wherein, the second transmission member 52 extends along the first direction. In this way, the second driving member 51 can smoothly drive the charging terminal 4 to move along the first direction through the second transmission member 52.

[0053] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the charging port assembly may further include a guide rail 6, with the charging terminal 4 cooperating with and connected to the guide rail 6. The guide rail 6 is arranged parallel to the second transmission member 52. In this way, the guide rail 6 can guide the charging terminal 4 to move along the first direction, preventing the charging terminal 4 from shifting or displacing.

[0054] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second drive mechanism 5 may further include a nut 53, which is connected to the charging terminal 4. The second transmission component 52 is a lead screw, and the nut 53 is connected to the lead screw. Thus, the second drive mechanism 5 can drive the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the nut 53 to move, and the nut 53 can drive the charging terminal 4 to translate, achieving precise movement of the charging terminal 4. Of course, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the second transmission component 52 may also be a rack or a pulley. Thus, the rotation of the second drive component 51 can drive the rack to translate, and the rack can then drive the charging terminal 4 to translate.

[0055] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second drive mechanism 5 may include a first support seat 54 and a second support seat 55, wherein the first support seat 54 is used to support the lead screw and can be fixed to the vehicle body or other fixed components; the second support seat 55 is used to support the guide rail 6 and can be fixed to the vehicle body or other fixed components, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0056] In the specific embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first drive mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to move between an open position and a closed position. When the cover plate 2 is in the closed position, the cover plate 2 closes the charging port 11. When the cover plate 2 is in the open position, the cover plate 2 moves away from the seat plate 1 and opens the charging port 11. The cover plate 2 and the charging terminal 4 are located on the same side of the seat plate 1. Thus, when the charging terminal 4 is in the charging position, the cover plate 2 needs to be staggered from the charging port 11 so that the charging terminal 4 can be exposed to the seat plate 1 through the charging port 11. In this way, when the charging terminal 4 is in the charging position, the cover plate 2 can also be hidden, that is, the cover plate 2 is hidden in the seat plate 1. This can prevent the cover plate 2 from being damaged by external forces when the vehicle is charging, and prevent people from accidentally touching the cover plate 2.

[0057] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first driving mechanism 3 includes a first driving member 31 and a first transmission member 32. The first driving member 31 drives the cover plate 2 to move in a second direction via the first transmission member 32 to open or close the charging port 11. In this way, the first driving member 31 can drive the cover plate 2 to move smoothly via the first transmission member 32.

[0058] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first transmission member 32 can be a rack connected to the cover plate 2. In this way, the first driving member 31 can drive the cover plate 2 to translate via the rack, reducing the complexity of the cover plate 2's movement, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. Of course, the first driving mechanism 3 can also drive the cover plate 2 to switch between an open and closed position by swinging or rotating; this disclosure does not impose excessive limitations on this.

[0059] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the first drive mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 33 for mounting the first drive member 31. The mounting base 33 is provided with a guide groove 331 that cooperates with the first transmission member 32. The guide groove 331 extends along the second direction. In this way, the mounting base 33 can provide a mounting base for the first drive member 31, and the guide groove 331 can guide the movement of the second transmission member 52, preventing the cover plate 2 from shifting and causing the charging port 11 to fail to open and close properly.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail 6 can extend along a first direction, and the first driving member 31 is connected to the charging terminal 4, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Here, since the first driving mechanism 3 is connected to the charging terminal 4, the charging terminal 4 will drive the first driving mechanism 3 and the cover plate 2 to move together when it moves. Thus, when the cover plate 2 is in the open position, the charging terminal 4 drives the cover plate 2 to move, so that the cover plate 2 can be staggered from the charging port when it is in the charging position. Therefore, by connecting the first driving mechanism 3 to the charging terminal 4 and cooperating with the driving of the first driving mechanism 3 and the second driving mechanism 5, the user can directly insert the external charging gun into the charging terminal 4, which improves the operability and automation of the charging port assembly, and does not require an additional driving structure to drive the cover plate 2 to be staggered from the charging port 11, thereby effectively simplifying the structure of the charging port assembly.

[0061] Optionally, refer to Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first drive mechanism 3 is connected to the charging terminal 4 so that after the first drive mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to move to the open position, the second drive mechanism 5 drives the charging terminal 4 to move to the charging position. In this way, after the first drive mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to open the charging port 11 and the cover plate 2 moves away from the base plate 1, the second drive mechanism 5 drives the charging terminal 4 to the charging position, thus achieving a simultaneous staggered arrangement of the cover plate 2 and the charging port 11.

[0062] Of course, in some other embodiments of this disclosure, the first drive mechanism 3 may not move with the charging terminal 4. In this case, the charging port assembly may include a third drive mechanism. In the open position, the third drive mechanism can drive the cover plate 2 to move to a position offset from the charging port 11. In this way, the charging terminal 4 can also be connected to the charging gun in the charging position. Here, this disclosure only uses the example of the first drive mechanism 3 being connected to the charging terminal 4 for illustrative purposes.

[0063] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there can be two charging terminals 4, which are spaced apart along a first direction. Each charging terminal 4 includes a first charging terminal 41 and a second charging terminal 42. Along the first direction, the first charging terminal 41, the first driving mechanism 3, and the second charging terminal 42 are arranged sequentially. Here, since the first driving member 31 is located between the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42, when the cover 2 is in the open position, the second driving mechanism 5 can quickly connect the first charging terminal 41 to the charging gun, or quickly connect the second charging terminal 42 to the charging gun, thus improving the response speed of the charging port assembly. Here, at the charging position, either the first charging terminal 41 or the second charging terminal 42 can be arranged directly opposite the charging port 11. This allows for one of the two terminals to be positioned opposite the charging port 11, which, compared to both terminals being simultaneously opposite, allows for a smaller charging port 11, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. Furthermore, when the second drive mechanism 5 moves the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42, the first charging terminal 41, the cover plate 2, and the second charging terminal 42 can be sequentially arranged to face the charging port 11.

[0064] Optionally, the first driving mechanism 3 is connected to the first charging terminal 41; or the first driving mechanism 3 is connected to the second charging terminal 42; or the first driving mechanism 3 is connected to both the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42. In this way, the first charging terminal 41 and / or the second charging terminal 42 can move the cover plate 2 along the first direction by driving the first driving mechanism 3 to move along the first direction. Here, when the cover plate 2 is in the closed position, both the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42 are in the ready-to-charge position; when the first driving mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to the open position, the second driving mechanism 5 can drive either the first charging terminal 41 or the second charging terminal 42 to the charging position. This is advantageous because the first charging terminal 41, the cover plate 2, and the second charging terminal 42 are sequentially aligned with the charging port 11 in the first direction.

[0065] It should be noted that the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42 can differ in charging speed. For example, the first charging terminal 41 can charge faster than the second charging terminal 42; that is, the first charging terminal 41 can be used as a fast charging terminal, and the second charging terminal 42 as a slow charging terminal. In this implementation, the first charging terminal 41 can be constructed as a DC charging terminal, and the second charging terminal 42 can be constructed as an AC charging terminal. Of course, the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42 can also differ in shape to accommodate different types of external charging devices, such as external charging guns.

[0066] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle is provided that includes the charging port assembly described above and has all the beneficial effects of the charging port assembly described above, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the aforementioned seat plate 1 may be part of the side panel of the vehicle body, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the vehicle can be an electric vehicle, which can drive itself using electricity. Of course, the vehicle can also be a hybrid vehicle, i.e., a vehicle with two different drive systems. Here, a hybrid vehicle can be driven by electricity or by an internal combustion engine; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this. Furthermore, the vehicle of this disclosure may also include at least one of the aforementioned charging port assemblies, for example, two charging port assemblies, which may be respectively disposed on the lateral sides of the vehicle; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the first direction can be arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, i.e., the length direction of the vehicle, and the second direction can be arranged parallel to the transverse direction of the vehicle, i.e., the width direction of the vehicle, wherein the central axis of the charging port 11 extends along the second direction. This arrangement of the first direction parallel to the longitudinal direction, i.e., parallel to the length direction of the vehicle, facilitates the arrangement of the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42. The extension of the central axis of the charging port 11 along the second direction facilitates the alignment of the cover plate 2 with the charging port 11.

[0069] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a charging control method is provided, applied to the vehicle described above. The charging control method includes the following steps: acquiring charging gun distance information of an external charging device; when the distance between the charging gun and the charging port 11 is less than a target distance, controlling a first drive mechanism 3 to drive a cover plate 2 to open the charging port 11; acquiring the charging gun type; and controlling a second drive mechanism 5 to drive a first charging terminal 41 or a second charging terminal 42 to switch to the charging position according to the charging gun type. Thus, when the distance between the charging gun and the charging port 11 is less than the target distance, the first drive mechanism can be controlled to automatically open the charging port. Furthermore, by acquiring the charging gun type, the second drive mechanism can be controlled to drive the corresponding first charging terminal or second charging terminal to switch to the charging position to match the corresponding type of charging gun. Therefore, this control method can effectively shorten the user's charging operation time and improve the user experience. Here, obtaining the charging gun type can be obtaining whether the charging gun is a fast charging gun or a slow charging gun. For example, when the charging gun type is obtained as a fast charging gun, the first charging terminal 41 is controlled to switch to the charging position, and when the charging gun type is obtained as a slow charging gun, the second charging terminal 42 is controlled to switch to the charging position.

[0070] The charging process of the vehicle will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments described above. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, firstly, when the vehicle needs charging, the distance information of the charging gun of the external charging device is obtained; when the distance between the charging gun and the charging port 11 is less than the target distance, the first drive mechanism 3 is controlled to drive the cover plate 2 to open the charging port 11; the charging gun type is obtained. Here, when it is found that the charging gun is a fast charging gun, the second drive mechanism 5 drives the first charging terminal 41 to switch to the charging position, at which time the vehicle can achieve fast charging; when it is found that the charging gun is a slow charging gun, the second drive mechanism 5 drives the second charging terminal 42 to switch to the charging position, at which time the vehicle can achieve slow charging. After charging is completed, the user unplugs the charging gun, the first drive mechanism 3 drives the cover plate 2 to close the charging port 11, and the second drive mechanism 5 drives the first charging terminal 41 and the second charging terminal 42 to switch to the waiting charging position.

[0071] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0072] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0073] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
