Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] A charging connection device refers to a component or device used to connect a vehicle to a vehicle charging device (or external power source) to replenish the vehicle's electrical energy. The vehicle can refer to an electric vehicle. The charging connection device includes components such as the vehicle charging device or external power source, a power socket, a power plug, a charging cable, a charging gun, and a charging base (also called a vehicle socket). The charging gun and charging base constitute the vehicle interface, which is the component that connects the charging cable to the vehicle. The charging base is a structure fixedly installed on the vehicle and interconnected with the vehicle's onboard charger or onboard rechargeable energy storage system via wires. The charging gun is the movable part of the vehicle interface that connects to the charging cable. The onboard charger or onboard rechargeable energy storage system includes a battery.

[0045] The charging gun can be inserted into the charging socket to charge the vehicle's battery, thereby connecting the vehicle charging equipment and the vehicle to transfer power from the vehicle charging equipment to the vehicle's battery.

[0046] The charging dock can be fixedly mounted on the vehicle body using a mounting bracket. In related technologies, the mounting bracket is a plate-like structure with mounting through holes. The charging dock is assembled into these holes and bolted to the vehicle body to establish the connection between the charging dock and the vehicle. However, since the charging gun and charging dock are part of the conductive charging connection device for electric vehicles, they need to withstand frequent use and operation by the user. The mounting bracket in related technologies has relatively low strength, and deformation can occur during the insertion and removal of the charging gun and charging dock. This leads to low reliability of the charging dock device and may cause problems such as the inability to supply power to the vehicle.

[0047] This application provides a charging dock device that can solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging dock device 01 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the mounting bracket 10 in the charging dock device 01 shown is as follows. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the support structure 12 from another perspective. The charging base device 01 may include a mounting bracket 10 and a charging base 20. The mounting bracket 10 may include a mounting plate 11, a support structure 12, and a connecting plate 13.

[0049] Mounting plate 11 has mounting holes k1. Charging base 20 is mounted on mounting plate 11, and a portion of charging base 20 is located in mounting hole k1, which can be a through hole. A portion of the structure of charging base 20 can contact the surface of mounting plate 11, and charging base 20 can be fixedly connected to mounting plate 11. Charging base 20 has a charging port that can protrude through mounting hole k1 so that the charging port can be connected to a charging gun. Charging base 20 also includes wires that can extend into the vehicle body to connect to electrical structures such as batteries located inside the vehicle body.

[0050] The support structure 12 surrounds the edge of the mounting plate 11 and can be connected to the mounting plate 11. The end of the support structure 12 away from the mounting plate 11 can be connected to the connecting plate 13. The support structure 12 can be used to support the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 can be fixedly connected to the vehicle body. For example, the connecting plate 13 and the vehicle body can be fixedly connected by at least one of welding and bolting.

[0051] Because the mounting plate 11 has mounting holes k1 for assembling the charging base 20, the strength of the mounting plate 11 is lower than that of a plate without holes. This is because holes in the plate can cause stress concentration when the plate is under stress, thus increasing the risk of plate deformation. In this embodiment, the support structure 12 provides support to the mounting plate 11 from multiple directions, forming a surrounding support for the mounting plate 11. This can improve the mechanical strength of the edges of the mounting plate 11, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the mounting plate 11, and also improving the connection stability between the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13. In this way, the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13 can be connected by the support structure 12 to increase the stability and reliability of the charging base device 01 during use. This ensures that the mounting bracket 10 has sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the stress applied by the outside during installation and use. Furthermore, after being subjected to impacts during normal use, the surrounding support of the mounting plate 11 by the support structure 12 reduces the deformation of the mounting plate 11 under stress, preventing the charging gun from failing to supply power to the vehicle.

[0052] In summary, this application provides a charging dock device, including a mounting bracket and a charging dock. The mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a support structure, and a connecting plate. The support structure provides support to the mounting plate from multiple directions, forming a circumferential support, which enhances the mechanical strength of the mounting plate, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance. It also improves the connection stability between the mounting plate and the connecting plate. Thus, the support structure connects the mounting plate and the connecting plate, increasing the stability and reliability of the charging dock device during use. This ensures the mounting bracket has sufficient mechanical strength to withstand external stresses during installation and use. Furthermore, after being subjected to impacts during normal use, the circumferential support of the mounting plate by the support structure reduces deformation under stress, thereby improving the reliability of the charging dock device.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the support structure 12 from another perspective shows that, in an optional embodiment, the support structure 12 may include opposing first flange structure 121 and first support plate 122, as well as opposing second support plate 123 and third support plate 124. The first flange structure 121 and first support plate 122 may be arranged opposite each other along a first direction D1, and the second support plate 123 and third support plate 124 may be arranged opposite each other along a second direction D2. There is an included angle between the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, that is, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are not parallel; for example, the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are perpendicular.

[0054] The second support plate 123 and the third support plate 124 are respectively located on both sides of the first support plate 122 in the target direction. The target direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first flange structure 121 and the first support plate 122, and is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The two ends of the first support plate 122 in the target direction can be fixedly connected to the second support plate 123 and the third support plate 124 respectively, thereby further enhancing the stability of the support structure 12.

[0055] The first flange structure 121 can be connected to the edge of the mounting plate 11. The first support plate 122, the second support plate 123, and the third support plate 124 are all connected to the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13, respectively. Since the charging socket 20 includes a housing 21 and wires at least partially located within the housing 21, and the wires can be connected to the battery in the vehicle, the connection of the first flange structure 121 to the edge of the mounting plate 11 can improve the mechanical strength of the mounting plate 11 while avoiding the wires of the charging socket 20, thereby improving the compatibility between the mounting bracket 10 and the charging socket 20. The flange process used to form the first flange structure 121 is a stamping process. The flange process can be applied to the processing of metal sheets. Specifically, the flange process involves using the stamping action of a die to form a straight wall or flange with a certain angle along a closed or open curved edge of the flat or curved portion of the sheet. This forming method is not limited to simple edge flanging but also includes more complex shape processing, such as inner hole flanging and outer edge flanging. The types of flanging processes include vertical flanging, horizontal flanging, and inclined flanging.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the mounting plate 11 may have a first edge b1, a second edge b2, a third edge b3 and a fourth edge b4 connected end to end, and a first flange structure 121 may be connected to the first edge b1 of the mounting plate 11, so that the first edge b1 of the mounting plate 11 can be supported more, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of the mounting plate 11.

[0057] The second support plate 123 supports the second edge b2 of the mounting plate 11, the first support plate 122 supports the third edge b3 of the mounting plate 11, and the third support plate 124 supports the fourth edge b4 of the mounting plate 11, thereby further improving the mechanical strength of the mounting plate 11.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In an optional embodiment, the support structure 12 may further include a first arc-shaped transition plate 125 and a second arc-shaped transition plate 126; the first arc-shaped transition plate 125 is connected to the first support plate 122 and the second support plate 123 respectively; the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 is connected to the first support plate 122 and the third support plate 124 respectively. The first arc-shaped transition plate 125 may also be connected to the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13 respectively, and the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 may also be connected to the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13 respectively. The cross-sections of the first arc-shaped transition plate 125 and the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 parallel to the first direction D1 may both be arc-shaped. The first arc-shaped transition plate 125 and the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 can smoothly transition the corners where the multiple support plates (first support plate 122, second support plate 123 and third support plate 124) of the support structure 12 are connected, so as to reduce the abrupt shape changes at the connection of adjacent support plates. Because adjacent support plates extend in different directions, the connection point between these two adjacent support plates is usually a stress concentration point. Over time, the connection point may experience yielding, fatigue, or even fracture. Therefore, a smooth transition connection method can reduce the stress concentration points on the support structure 12, prevent cracks from forming in the mounting bracket 10 during installation or use, and improve the stability and safety of the mounting bracket 10.

[0059] That is, by using a transition plate with a uniform and gentle shape change, the support structure 12 can bear pressure evenly and is easy to stamp and form, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the support structure 12, and making the thickness of the multiple support plates and multiple transition plates (first arc transition plate 125 and second arc transition plate 126) in the support structure 12 more uniform.

[0060] The multiple support plates of the support structure 12 can all be plate-shaped structures. In this way, compared with the column-shaped support structure 12, the connection area between the plate-shaped support structure 12 and the mounting plate 11 is larger. At the same time, the connection area between the plate-shaped support structure 12 and the connecting plate 13 is also larger. Thus, the stress between the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate can be evenly distributed through the mounting structure 12, avoiding stress concentration on the mounting bracket.

[0061] Multiple support plates and the first flange structure can ensure the support strength of the support structure 12 to the mounting plate 11. Furthermore, the support structure 12 and the mounting plate 11 are an integral structure, which can improve the connection stability between the support structure 12 and the mounting plate 11.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In an optional embodiment, the support structure 12 may further include a first reinforcing rib 127 and a second reinforcing rib 128; the first reinforcing rib 127 is connected to the second support plate 123, and the second reinforcing rib 128 is connected to the third support plate 124. The first reinforcing rib 127 can enhance the rigidity and strength of the second support plate 123 to further improve the support capacity of the second support plate 123.

[0063] In this embodiment, a portion of the second support plate 123 can be wavy, so that each protrusion on the second support plate 123 forms a hollow first reinforcing rib 127. This saves material and further reduces the weight of the support structure 12. Of course, the first reinforcing rib 127 can also be a long strip rib attached to the surface of the second support plate 123, or be configured in other forms; this embodiment does not limit this. The number of first reinforcing ribs 127 can be one, two, three, or more; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0064] Similarly, a second reinforcing rib 128 can be provided on the third support plate 124. The shape, arrangement and number of the second reinforcing rib 128 can be similar to or the same as the first reinforcing rib 127. This application embodiment will not elaborate on this.

[0065] Since the second support plate 123 and the third support plate 124 bear greater stress than the first support plate 122 during the use of the mounting bracket 10, reinforcing ribs can be provided only on the second support plate 123 and the third support plate 124, without the need to provide reinforcing ribs on the first support plate 122, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the mounting bracket 10.

[0066] Furthermore, the first support plate 122 also has a weight-reducing through hole k6, which is used to reduce the overall weight of the mounting bracket 10 and reduce the amount of material used in manufacturing the mounting bracket 10, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the mounting bracket 10.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the support structure 12 may further include a second flange structure 129. The second support plate 123 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the second support plate 123 is connected to the first support plate 122, and the second flange structure 129 is connected to the second end of the second support plate 123. That is, the second flange structure 129 is connected to the edge of the second support plate 123 away from the first support plate 122. The second flange structure 129 can be used to enhance the mechanical strength of the edge of the second support plate 123. The edge of the second support plate 123 away from the first support plate 122 also has two notches h1, which are located at the two ends of the second flange structure 129, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the second flange structure 129 by stamping.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 In one optional embodiment, at least one of the plurality of support plates and the plurality of transition plates of the support structure 12 has at least one through hole k2, which can be used to pass through a wiring harness on the vehicle, the wiring harness on the vehicle including at least one of power lines and signal lines. The opening size of the through hole k2 is smaller than the opening size of the weight reduction through hole k6.

[0069] Since the support structure 12 is located between the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 13, and the support structure 12 includes a plate-shaped support plate and a transition plate, when the wiring harness on the vehicle needs to pass through the area where the mounting bracket 10 is located, it may need to bypass the mounting bracket 10. Therefore, by providing a through hole k2 on the support structure 12, the wiring harness can pass through the through hole k2 to the mounting bracket 10, thereby reducing the impact of the mounting bracket 10 on the arrangement of the wiring harness on the vehicle and also reducing the wiring difficulty of the wiring harness on the vehicle.

[0070] For example, the mounting bracket 10 also includes at least one wire threading clip, which may be made of plastic and can be fitted into the wire threading hole k2 to fix the wire harness passing through the wire threading hole k2.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, the first support plate 122, the second support plate 123, the third support plate 124, the first transition plate, and the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 each have at least one through hole k2, which can improve the layout flexibility of the wiring harness in the vehicle.

[0072] In an alternative embodiment, the angle between the plurality of support plates in the support structure 12 and the mounting plate 11 is an obtuse angle, thereby improving the stability of the mounting bracket 10.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 The support structure 12 shown can be Figure 2 The diagram shows another view of the support structure 12. In an optional embodiment, the first flange structure 121 includes a connected first plate 1211 and a first hook 1212. The first plate 1211 is connected to the mounting plate 11, and the first hook 1212 is located at the edge of the first plate 1211 away from the mounting plate 11. The charging base 20 includes a wire connected to the first hook 1212. Please refer to... Figure 5In one exemplary embodiment, the cross-section of the first plate 1211 in the first direction D1 can be "L" shaped. Since the wire of the charging base 20 can be located between the first edge b1 of the mounting plate 11 and the vehicle body, by setting the first plate 1211 at the first edge b1 of the mounting plate 11, the surface of the first plate 1211 that may contact the wire is relatively smooth, which can reduce the wear of the wire by the mounting bracket 10 during installation and use.

[0074] Furthermore, by providing a first hook 1212 on the first plate 1211 to fix the wire of the charging base 20, the stability of the charging base 20 can be improved, and the compatibility between the mounting bracket and the charging base can be further enhanced. For example, the first hook 1212 has a fixing through hole, in which a wire threading clip can be fitted, and the wire threading clip can guide the charging base 20 to fix the wire and prevent wire vibration.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a charging dock 20 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 The charging dock 20 shown includes some of its structures, such as the encapsulation housing 21. The charging dock 20 may also include... Figure 6 The wires, terminals, and other structures not shown in the diagram can be used as... Figure 2 The diagram shows another perspective of the support structure 12. In an optional embodiment, the mounting plate 11 may include a second plate 111 and a second hook 112, and the charging base 20 may also include a housing 21 and a snap-fit ​​component 22; the mounting hole k1 may be located on the second plate 111, and the second hook 112 may be located at the edge of the mounting hole k1; the housing 21 is connected to the wire, the snap-fit ​​component 22 is located on the side of the housing 21 near the edge of the mounting hole k1, and the snap-fit ​​component 22 is fixedly connected to the housing 21, and snap-fitted to the second hook 112. The housing 21 and the snap-fit ​​component 22 may be welded together, bolted together, or the housing 21 and the snap-fit ​​component 22 may be an integral structure, and both the housing 21 and the snap-fit ​​component 22 may be made of plastic. Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​22 is located at the edge of the package housing 21.

[0076] During the installation of the charging dock device 01, the mounting bracket 10 can be fixedly connected to the vehicle body first, and then the charging dock 20 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 10. The mounting plate 11 of the mounting bracket 10 also has a plurality of first connection through holes k3, and the encapsulation shell 21 of the charging dock 20 has second connection through holes k4 corresponding to the plurality of first connection through holes k3. The charging dock device 01 also includes a plurality of fixing bolts, which can be located in the first connection through holes k3 and the second connection through holes k4, so as to fix the mounting bracket 10 and the charging dock 20 by bolt connection. For example, the number of first connection through holes k3 is 4, and the number of first connection through holes k3 can also be 3, 5 or more, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0077] In related technologies, vehicles are typically equipped with two charging ports: a fast charging port and a slow charging port. The fast charging port is usually located in the front grille, while the slow charging port is typically located in the side panel. Separate charging port placement can negatively impact the user experience. The mounting bracket 10 in this embodiment provides a mounting surface for the integrated fast and slow charging port charging base 20, allowing the fast and slow charging ports to be located in the same position, thus improving the user experience.

[0078] Because the fast and slow charging integrated charging base 20 is relatively heavy, during the installation process, the charging base 20 and the mounting bracket 10 can be initially connected by the snap-fit ​​connector 22 on the charging base 20 and the second hook 112 on the mounting bracket 10. Then, the mounting bracket 10 and the charging base 20 are connected by fixing bolts. In this way, the snap-fit ​​connector 22 and the second hook 112 assist in the installation, reducing the installation difficulty of the charging base device 01 and improving the assembly efficiency of the charging base device 01. For example, there can be two second hooks 112.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one optional embodiment, the second hook 112 includes a third plate 1121, a fourth plate 1122, and a first reinforcing member 1123. One end of the third plate 1121 is connected to the mounting plate 11, and the other end of the third plate 1121 is connected to the fourth plate 1122. An angle is formed between the surface of the fourth plate 1122 and the surface of the third plate 1121. The first reinforcing member 1123 is located at the connection between the third plate 1121 and the fourth plate 1122. The surfaces of the third plate 1121 and the fourth plate 1122 are not parallel. The second hook 112 has a snap-fit ​​through hole k7, which can be formed by the third plate 1121 and the fourth plate 1122. The snap-fit ​​member 22 may include a snap-fit ​​hook, which can be fitted into the snap-fit ​​through hole k7.

[0080] For example, the third plate 1121 and the fourth plate 1122 have a first connection and a second connection, which are located on both sides of the snap-fit ​​hole. Both the first and second connections are provided with a first reinforcing member 1123. That is, two first reinforcing members 1123 can be provided on one second hook 112. The first reinforcing member 1123 can strengthen the strength and stability of the bending point of the second hook 112. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 10 is formed from a single piece of plate using a stamping and multiple bending process. The first reinforcing member 1123 can be a stamped reinforcing rib structure.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In an optional embodiment, the charging base 20 may further include a positioning pin 23, which is located on the side of the encapsulation housing 21 facing the mounting plate 11 and is fixedly connected to the encapsulation housing 21; the second plate 111 also has a positioning hole k5, in which the positioning pin 23 is located. During the installation of the charging base device 01, the relative positions of the mounting bracket 10 and the charging base 20 can be fixed by the cooperation of the positioning pin 23 and the positioning hole k5, which can achieve the following two effects: firstly, it can prevent the mounting bracket 10 and the charging base 20 from moving relative to each other during the bolt connection; secondly, since the charging base 20 integrates a fast charging port and a slow charging port, the positioning pin 23 can be used to achieve precise positioning of the charging base 20, avoiding the problem of incorrect assembly of the fast charging port and the slow charging port.

[0082] For example, the mounting plate 11 may have two positioning holes k5, which may be located on both sides of the first mounting through hole.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 The support structure 12 shown can be Figure 2 The diagram shows another perspective view of the support structure 12. In an optional embodiment, the connecting plate 13 includes a fifth plate body 131 and a boss structure 132 located on the fifth plate body 131. The boss structure 132 can be located on the side of the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 opposite to the mounting plate 11, and the boss structure 132 is connected to the second arc-shaped transition plate 126. Since the area of ​​the connecting plate 13 on the side of the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 opposite to the mounting plate 11 is large, the strength of the connecting plate 13 can be strengthened by the boss structure 132. At least a portion of the side of the fifth plate body 131 opposite to the mounting plate 11 can be welded to the vehicle body.

[0084] The fifth plate 131 may also have a third connecting through hole k8, and the vehicle body may have a fourth connecting through hole corresponding to the third connecting through hole k8. The fixing bolt may be located in the third connecting through hole k8 and the fourth connecting through hole to connect the fifth plate 131 and the vehicle body by means of bolt connection.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, the corners of the mounting bracket 10 are rounded to avoid stress concentration at the corners.

[0086] In summary, this application provides a charging dock device, including a mounting bracket and a charging dock. The mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a support structure, and a connecting plate. The support structure provides support to the mounting plate from multiple directions, forming a circumferential support, which enhances the mechanical strength of the mounting plate, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance. It also improves the connection stability between the mounting plate and the connecting plate. Thus, the support structure connects the mounting plate and the connecting plate, increasing the stability and reliability of the charging dock device during use. This ensures the mounting bracket has sufficient mechanical strength to withstand external stresses during installation and use. Furthermore, after being subjected to impacts during normal use, the circumferential support of the mounting plate by the support structure reduces deformation under stress, thereby improving the reliability of the charging dock device.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 Only a partial structure of the vehicle is shown. The vehicle includes a body and a charging dock unit, which is connected to the body. The charging dock unit includes the charging dock unit in any of the above embodiments. The mounting bracket 10 in this embodiment is manufactured using an integral stamping process, which reduces the difficulty of producing, installing, and maintaining the mounting bracket 10. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 10 uses reinforcing ribs, boss structures, and flange structures to increase its mechanical strength, and the assembly efficiency of the charging dock unit is improved through the cooperation of the second hook and the snap-fit ​​parts on the charging dock. In addition, two charging ports are installed on a single bracket, improving ease of use.

[0088] In one exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the fifth plate body 131 of the connecting plate 13 includes a first sub-plate 1311, a second sub-plate 1312, a third sub-plate 1313, a fourth sub-plate 1314, and a fifth sub-plate 1315. The first sub-plate 1311 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 123, the second sub-plate 1312 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 13, the third sub-plate 1313 and the fourth sub-plate 1314 are both fixedly connected to the second arc-shaped transition plate 126 through a boss structure 132, and the fifth sub-plate 1315 is fixedly connected to the third support plate 124.

[0089] The vehicle body may include a rear wheel arch outer panel 31, a first rear wheel arch outer panel reinforcing plate 32, a second rear wheel arch outer panel reinforcing plate 33, a rear roof crossbeam connecting plate 34, and a D-pillar reinforcing plate 35. A first sub-plate 1311 can be welded to the rear wheel arch outer panel 31, a second sub-plate 1312 can be welded to the first rear wheel arch outer panel reinforcing plate 32, a third sub-plate 1313 can be welded to the second rear wheel arch outer panel reinforcing plate 33, a fourth sub-plate 1314 can be welded to the rear roof crossbeam connecting plate 34, and a fifth sub-plate 1315 can be welded to the D-pillar reinforcing plate 35.

[0090] like Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle body may also include a rear wheel arch connecting plate 36. The rear wheel arch connecting plate 36 is located on the side of the rear wheel arch outer plate 31 facing away from the mounting bracket 10. Since the rear wheel arch connecting plate 36 is made of aluminum alloy and the rear wheel arch outer plate 31 is made of steel plate, the melting points of aluminum alloy and steel plate are different. Therefore, the rear wheel arch connecting plate 36 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 31 cannot be connected by welding. The third connecting through hole k8 can be located on the first sub-plate 1311. Both the rear wheel arch connecting plate 36 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 31 have a fourth connecting through hole corresponding to the third connecting through hole k8. In this way, the fixing bracket, the rear wheel arch connecting plate 36 and the rear wheel arch outer plate 31 can be connected by fixing bolts.

[0091] In summary, this application provides a vehicle including a vehicle body and a charging dock device. The charging dock device includes a mounting bracket and a charging dock. The mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a support structure, and a connecting plate. The support structure provides support to the mounting plate from multiple directions, forming a circumferential support, which improves the mechanical strength of the mounting plate, thereby increasing its load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance. It also improves the connection stability between the mounting plate and the connecting plate. Thus, the support structure connects the mounting plate and the connecting plate, increasing the stability and reliability of the charging dock device during use. This ensures the mounting bracket has sufficient mechanical strength to withstand external stresses during installation and use. Furthermore, after being subjected to impacts during normal use, the circumferential support of the mounting plate by the support structure reduces deformation of the mounting plate under stress, thereby improving the reliability of the charging dock device.
