[0053] Example 1

[0054] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a charging port cover provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a base 2; an upper cover 1, which is rotatably connected to the base 2 through a hinge arm 3; a light group 4, which is arranged on the back of the base 2 and is electrically connected to the vehicle control circuit, for indicating the connection, disconnection and various charging states of the charging circuit; the base 2 is made of black translucent material.

[0055] The upper cover 1 includes an outer plate 11 and an inner plate 12, and the outer plate 11 is clamped to the outer side of the inner plate 12. The hinge arm 3 includes a connecting arm 31, a main arm 32 and a rotating arm 33. The main arm 32 is connected between the connecting arm 31 and the rotating arm 33, and the connecting arm 31, the main arm 32 and the rotating arm 33 form a U-shaped structure. After the connecting arm 31 and the inner plate 12 are integrally formed, they serve as a movable component. The rotating arm 33 extends into the movable space set at the end of the base 2, is hinged to one end of the base 2 through the hinge shaft 3 and rotates in the movable space to realize the opening and closing movement of the cover. The main arm 32 and the rotating arm 33 are provided with weight-reducing holes, and reinforcing ribs are connected in the weight-reducing holes, which not only reduce the weight of the hinge arm 3 but also increase the strength of the hinge arm 3. The base 2 is connected to the charging port seat 7 through a sealing soft rubber sleeve.

[0056] In detail, a plurality of first clamping parts 121 are arranged on the edge of the outer side surface of the inner plate 12, and second clamping parts 111 are arranged on the inner side surface of the outer plate 11 corresponding to the first clamping parts 121, and the outer plate 11 and the inner plate 12 are connected together through the first clamping parts 121 and the second clamping parts 111. Specifically, a protruding structure is arranged on the upper surface of the first clamping part 121, and a groove is arranged on the upper surface of the second clamping part, and the protruding structure is clamped in the groove to realize the clamping connection between the outer plate 11 and the inner plate 12.

[0057] The inner plate 12 is provided with a plurality of obliquely crossed strip structures 123 between the two side clamping members 121 to increase the rigidity.

[0058] A guide member 122 is provided on the inner side surface of the inner plate 12 at one end away from the hinge arm 3 , and a guide groove 26 is provided at a corresponding position of the guide member 122 on the base 2 to guide the opening and closing of the charging port cover.

[0059] The light-emitting lamp group 4 is electrically connected to the vehicle control circuit, receives the state of the charging circuit transmitted by the vehicle control circuit and displays the state. A protruding structure 42 is arranged around the light-emitting surface 41 of the light-emitting lamp group 4, and the protruding structure 42 is connected to the back of the base 2, and forms a receiving cavity with the base 2, and the light-emitting surface 41 is placed in the receiving cavity. Since the protruding structure 42 forms an opaque light-shielding wall, the light emitted by the light-emitting surface 41 is projected to the outside of the vehicle through the translucent base 2, playing the role and effect of the charging indicator light. When the light-emitting lamp group 4 is not lit, since there is no light source inside the vehicle, a darkroom effect is formed, the appearance is visually black, and the internal structure of the vehicle is shielded, so that the appearance is simple and complete, and the effect of hidden charging indication is achieved. The present invention has no exposed structure, no connection gap, no need for waterproof sealing, and no need to consider the appearance matching of the gap step difference, which effectively solves the technical problems that the charging indicator light protrudes from the surface of the cover and is easy to accumulate dust, affecting the appearance quality, and there is a risk of water leakage if the seal is not tight.

[0060] Furthermore, the charging port cover also includes a sealing gasket 5; the sealing gasket 5 is arranged between the light group 4 and the base 2, and the middle part of the sealing gasket 5 is hollowed out.

[0061] The sealing gasket 5 is made of elastic opaque material and is crimped between the raised structure 42 and the base 2. On the one hand, the sealing gasket 5 can effectively prevent water, dust and foreign matter from entering the light-emitting surface, ensuring the brightness and purity of the light source. On the other hand, the sealing gasket 5 and the raised structure 42 form a light-shielding space, and the light-emitting surface 41 is located in the light-shielding space, so that light can only pass through the hollow area of ​​the sealing gasket 5, and the light is projected to the outside of the car through the base 2 made of translucent material (such as PC+TPE material), playing the role and effect of a charging indicator light.

[0062] Furthermore, the charging port cover also includes a light-transmitting film 6; the light-transmitting film 6 is arranged between the sealing gasket 5 and the base 2, and the light-transmitting film 6 transmits the light of the light-emitting lamp group 4; the light of the light-emitting lamp group 4 passes through the hollow area of ​​the sealing gasket 5, the light-transmitting film 6 and the base 2 in sequence; the light-transmitting film 6 sets a pattern 61 at the corresponding position of the hollow area of ​​the sealing gasket 5.

[0063] The upper surface and the lower surface of the light-transmitting film 6 are connected to the base 2 and the sealing gasket 5 respectively by pasting. The light-transmitting film can be provided with various patterns, such as LOGO, icons, etc., at the corresponding position of the hollow area of ​​the sealing gasket 5 according to the personalized display of the brand and the creativity. The light-emitting lamp group 4 transmits the pattern set on the light-transmitting film 6 through the translucent base 2, forming a light-emitting pattern on the outer surface of the base, which plays the role and effect of a charging indicator light.

[0064] Furthermore, the pattern is printed on the light-transmitting film 6 by means of black and white paint, wherein the area printed with white paint is light-transmitting and the area printed with black paint is light-impermeable.

[0065] The luminous pattern is printed on the light-transmitting film 6 with paint. Compared with the traditional injection-molded charging indicator light, it is not limited by the process of the lamp housing, and more complex patterns can be achieved, which is conducive to the creative expression of the modeling.

[0066] Furthermore, a capacitive switch is integrated on the light-emitting surface of the light group 4, and the capacitive switch is connected to the vehicle control circuit for controlling the unlocking of the charging gun and the opening and closing of the charging port cover; the sensing surface of the capacitive switch is integrated on the light-emitting surface 41 of the light group; the touch surface of the capacitive switch is arranged on the surface of the base 2 corresponding to the position where the light of the light group 4 is transmitted through the base 2.

[0067] The charging gun and the charging port cover are both electrically connected to the vehicle control circuit, and the vehicle control circuit is used to control the unlocking of the charging gun or the opening and closing of the charging port cover according to the signal of the capacitor switch.

[0068] Specifically, a touch protrusion is set on the inner side surface of the inner plate 12 at the corresponding position of the touch surface of the capacitive switch, and a layer of conductive fiber is set on the surface of the touch protrusion. By pressing the upper cover 1 to make the touch protrusion contact with the touch surface on the base 2, the capacitive switch control cover is opened.

[0069] When operating the capacitor switch, the vehicle control circuit identifies the status of the charging gun and the charging port cover to unlock the charging gun and open or close the charging port cover.

[0070] The control steps are as follows: the touch surface of the capacitive switch is touched, the capacitive switch is connected to the vehicle control circuit, and the vehicle control circuit identifies the status of the charging gun and the charging port cover:

[0071] (1) If the charging port cover is in the closed state, the vehicle control circuit controls the charging port cover to open;

[0072] (2) If the charging gun is in the inserted state, the vehicle control circuit controls the charging gun to unlock;

[0073] (3) If the charging gun is unplugged and the charging port cover is open, the vehicle control circuit controls the charging port cover to close.

[0074] By controlling the sensing distance between the sensing surface and the touch surface, the luminous LOGO mapped by the base 2 is integrated into a touch switch, which has both a charging indicator light and a switch function, so that the charging port cover, the charging indicator light and the charging switch can be highly integrated. The user's visual effect is seamless, with no connection seams, no physical buttons, no need to consider waterproof sealing, and no need to consider gap step difference appearance matching, making the charging port cover concise and complete, with a strong sense of technology, which is more in line with the development trend of new energy vehicles.

[0075] In some embodiments, the back side of the base 2 is configured to be stepped, including a first step 21 and a second step 22; the height of the first step 21 is less than the height of the second step 22; a lamp group connecting component 23 is provided on the back side of the first step 21, and the light-emitting lamp group 4 is fixed in the space enclosed by the lamp group connecting component 23, the back side of the first step 21 and the side of the second step 22.

[0076] The base 2 is arranged in a stepped shape, and the light group 4 is arranged on the back of the first step 21 with a lower height, so as to reduce the space occupied by the light group 4 inside the vehicle and reduce interference with the layout of the interior space of the vehicle body.

[0077] Specifically, the light group connection component 23 includes a first light group connection member 231, a second light group connection member 232 and a third light group connection member 233; the first light group connection member 231 and the second light group connection member 232 are arranged opposite to each other; the first end of the first light group connection member 231 and the first end of the second light group connection member 232 are both fixed to the side of the second step 22, and the third connection member 233 is arranged between the second end of the first light group connection member 231 and the second end of the second light group connection member 232; the upper end of the first light group connection member 231, the upper end of the second light group connection member 232 and the upper end of the third light group connection member 233 are all fixed to the back side of the first step 21; the first light group connection member 231, the second light group connection member 232, the third light group connection member 233, the back side of the first step 21 and the side side of the second step 22 are surrounded by a square space.

[0078] The lamp group connecting component 23 forms a receiving space for the light group 4 by means of the back side of the first step 21 and the side of the second step 22, which is more stable than fixing the lamp group connecting component 23 on a single plane to form the receiving space.

[0079] Furthermore, the first lamp group connecting member 231 and the second lamp group connecting member 232 are both provided with lamp group clamping holes 2311 ; lamp group buckles 43 clamped in the lamp group clamping holes 2311 are arranged on both sides of the light emitting lamp group 4 .

[0080] The light assembly 4 is connected to the base 2 by the light assembly buckle 43 being connected to the connecting hole 2311 .

[0081] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of base connectors 24 are disposed around the sides of the base 2 , and the base is connected to the side panel metal opening via the base connectors 24 .

[0082] Specifically, the base connector 24 is a buckle structure, and the base 2 is buckled to the side panel opening through the buckle. The edge of the base 2 is provided with a buckle quick release hole 28 at the corresponding position of the buckle, and the buckle is destroyed through the buckle quick release hole 28 to facilitate the removal of the base 2 from the side panel.

[0083] The base 2 is provided with a limit buffer block 29 at one end away from the hinge arm 3, which is used to limit the upper cover 1 from passing through and protect the mouth cover.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, a first drainage hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the side of the base 2; a second drainage hole 13 is provided on the same side of the first drainage hole 25 of the upper cover 1; a third drainage hole 34 is provided on the same side of the first drainage hole 25 of the hinge arm 3; the second drainage hole 13 and the third drainage hole 34 are both connected to the first drainage hole 25 when the upper cover 1 is covered on the base 2.

[0085] The second drain hole 13 is used to drain the water that has entered the upper cover 1, and the third drain hole 34 is used to drain the water that has entered the hinge arm 3. When the upper cover 1 and the base 2 are in the open state, the water in the upper cover 1 is drained to the outside of the vehicle through the second drain hole 13, and the water in the hinge arm 3 is drained to the outside of the vehicle through the third drain hole 34. When the upper cover 1 and the base 2 are in the closed state, the water in the upper cover 1 and the hinge arm 3 is drained into the first drain hole 25 through the second drain hole 13 and the third drain hole 34 respectively. The first drain hole 25 is connected to the drainage pipe outside the cover through a drainage pipe to drain the water that has entered the cover to the outside of the vehicle.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] This embodiment provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned charging port cover.

[0088] The hidden charging indicator light and charging switch structure are innovatively designed. By using a black translucent base, in combination with a light-transmitting membrane, a sealing pad, and a light-emitting lamp group, the traditional exposed charging indicator light is hidden on the back of the base. The light-emitting lamp group transmits the LOGO pattern printed on the light-transmitting membrane through the translucent base, forming a light-emitting LOGO pattern on the outer surface of the base, which plays the role and effect of a charging indicator light. At the same time, the capacitive switch is integrated into the light-emitting lamp group, the light-emitting surface is set as the capacitive switch sensing surface, and the position of the base light-emitting LOGO is set as the touch surface. By controlling the distance from the capacitive switch to the base surface, the base light-emitting LOGO also has a touch switch function, canceling the traditional physical button switch, no exposed structure, no connection gap, and no need for waterproof sealing, effectively solving the problem of dust accumulation in the gap and avoiding the risk of water seepage. The black translucent base forms a darkroom effect with the interior of the vehicle body, and the back structure can be completely hidden. The overall simplicity and beauty improve the appearance. The LOGO pattern is printed on the light-transmitting membrane, breaking through the limitations of the traditional injection molding process, and can achieve complex and diverse light-emitting LOGO designs, which is conducive to brand personalized display and creative expression.
