[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between various components in a certain specific posture.

[0048] The charging port cover assembly is generally installed on the side panel assembly of the vehicle. Due to the processing technology of the side panel assembly and other reasons, after the side panel assembly is completed, there will inevitably be a certain amount of tolerance accumulation in the length, height and width directions of the vehicle. These tolerance accumulations will make it difficult to align the structure on the charging port cover that is connected to the side panel assembly with the structure on the side panel assembly that is connected to the charging port cover, making it difficult to install the charging port cover on the side panel assembly.

[0049] Therefore, the charging port cover assembly has a technical problem that it is difficult to install on the side panel assembly. The embodiment of the present application provides a charging port cover assembly and a vehicle, which can at least solve the technical problem that the charging port cover assembly is difficult to install on the side panel assembly to a certain extent.

[0050] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connection assembly 100 is used to connect the side panel assembly 200 and the charging port cover assembly 300 of the vehicle, and the connection assembly 100 includes a first mounting seat 110, a first connecting member 120, a second mounting seat 130 and a second connecting member 140.

[0052] The first mounting seat 110 is used to be fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 200; the first connecting member 120 extends along the Y direction and is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110; the second mounting seat 130 is used to be fixedly connected to the charging port cover assembly 300; the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and the second mounting seat 130; wherein, when the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 are not locked, the first connecting member 120 is movable relative to the first mounting seat 110 along the X direction and / or the Z direction; when the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 are locked, the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 130 are fixedly connected via the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 140.

[0053] It should be noted that the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] When in use, the first mounting seat 110 is fixedly mounted on the side enclosure assembly 200. The first mounting seat 110 and the side enclosure assembly 200 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolt connection, clamping, etc., which are not limited here. In some embodiments, the side enclosure assembly 200 includes a side enclosure reinforcement plate 210 and a side enclosure assembly body 220 that are fixedly connected. The side enclosure reinforcement plate 210 is provided with a mounting boss 211 for mounting the first mounting seat 110, and the first mounting seat 110 is welded on the mounting boss 211.

[0055] The first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 along the X direction, or the first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 along the Z direction, or the first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 along both the X direction and the Z direction, which is not limited in the present application. With such a design, after the first connecting member 120 is installed on the first mounting seat 110, the first connecting member 120 can move in the X direction, or the first connecting member 120 can move in the Z direction, or the first connecting member 120 can move in the X direction and the Z direction at the same time. Therefore, by moving the first connecting member 120, the tolerance accumulation of the side enclosure assembly 200 in the X direction and / or the Z direction can be absorbed.

[0056] In some implementations, the first connector 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 along both the X and Z directions. To facilitate the introduction of the present application, the present application is described below by taking "the first connector 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 along both the X and Z directions" as an example.

[0057] The charging port cover assembly 300 includes a cover assembly body and a base 310. The cover assembly body is installed on the base 310. The cover assembly body includes components such as a driving mechanism, a charging port cover, and a transmission mechanism. Under the coordinated action of the driving mechanism, the transmission mechanism, etc., the charging port cover can be driven to move, so that the charging port cover can be switched between a covered state that shields the base 310 and an open state that does not shield the base 310. In the open state, the charging gun can be inserted into the charging port in the base 310 to charge the vehicle. In the closed state, the charging port cover can prevent external rain, dust, etc. from entering the base 310 and contaminating the charging structure in the base 310. The structure of the cover assembly body is diverse and is not limited in this application.

[0058] When the connecting assembly 100 is used, the second mounting seat 130 is fixedly connected to the base 310 of the charging port cover assembly 300. The second mounting seat 130 and the charging port cover assembly 300 can be fixedly connected by welding, bolt connection, clamping, etc., which are not limited here.

[0059] The second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and the second mounting seat 130. The first connecting member 120 extends along the Y direction, so that when the second connecting member 140 rotates, the second connecting member 140 moves along the Y direction. Therefore, the second connecting member 140 can absorb the tolerance accumulation of the side panel assembly 200 in the Y direction. And after such a design, when the second connecting member 140 is locked with the first connecting member 120, due to the threaded cooperation between the second connecting member 140 and the second mounting seat 130, the second mounting seat 130 will not move along the Y direction, and the second mounting seat 130 will be fixed, ensuring the stability of the charging port cover assembly 300.

[0060] It should be noted that the axes of the internal threads or external threads for threaded matching on the first connecting member 120, the second connecting member 140 and the second mounting seat 130 are coaxially arranged and parallel to the Y direction, ensuring the smooth rotation of the second connecting member 140 without jamming.

[0061] When the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 are not locked, the first connecting member 120 is not fixed, so the first connecting member 120 can move in the X direction and / or the Z direction. When the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 are locked, the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 are fixed, so that the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 130 are fixedly connected, so that the charging port cover assembly 300 is fixedly mounted on the side enclosure assembly 200.

[0062] The connecting component 100 can be used according to the following steps: first, fix the first mounting seat 110 equipped with the first connecting member 120 on the processed side panel assembly 200; then, install the second mounting seat 130 equipped with the second connecting member 140 on the charging port cover assembly 300, and then align the second connecting member 140 with the first connecting member 120. After alignment, rotate the second connecting member 140 so that the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and tighten the second connecting member 140, so that the side panel assembly 200 and the charging port cover assembly 300 are fixedly connected together.

[0063] Since the first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110, before the second connecting member 140 is locked with the first connecting member 120, the first connecting member 120 can move in the X direction and / or Z direction to absorb the accumulated tolerances of the side panel assembly 200 and the first mounting seat 110 in the vehicle length direction and height direction respectively; since the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and the second mounting seat 130, and the first connecting member 120 extends along the Y direction, during the process of locking the second connecting member 140 with the first connecting member 120, the second connecting member 140 can move in the Y direction relative to the second mounting seat 130 to absorb the accumulated tolerances of the side panel assembly 200 and the first mounting seat 110 in the vehicle width direction. The connecting component 100 facilitates the connection between the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120, so that the charging port cover assembly 300 can be smoothly installed on the side panel assembly 200, which facilitates the installation of the charging port cover assembly 300, helps to reduce the requirements for the dimensional accuracy of the side panel assembly 200, facilitates the processing of the side panel assembly 200, and helps to reduce the requirements for the installation accuracy of the first mounting seat 110, facilitating the installation of the first mounting seat 110.

[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting seat 110 has a mounting cavity 110a and an avoidance hole 110b connected to the mounting cavity 110a, and the first connecting member 120 includes a connected positioning portion 121 and a connecting portion 122, the positioning portion 121 is located in the mounting cavity 110a, the size of the positioning portion 121 is larger than the size of the avoidance hole 110b, the size of the avoidance hole 110b is larger than the size of the connecting portion 122, the connecting portion 122 is located outside the mounting cavity 110a through the avoidance hole 110b, and is connected to the second connecting member 140.

[0065] The size of the positioning portion 121 is larger than the size of the avoidance hole 110b, and the positioning portion 121 cannot extend out of the installation cavity 110a through the avoidance hole 110b, and the positioning portion 121 is always located in the installation cavity 110a. The size of the avoidance hole 110b is larger than the size of the connecting portion 122, so that the connecting portion 122 can be located in the avoidance hole 110b, and the connecting portion 122 can move a certain distance in the X direction or a certain distance in the Z direction in the avoidance hole 110b. Through the design of the connecting portion 122 and the avoidance hole 110b, it is achieved that the first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110 in both the X direction and the Z direction, so that before the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 140 are locked, the first connecting member 120 can move in both the X direction and the Z direction, thereby ensuring the freedom of the first connecting member 120. Such a design helps to simplify the structure of the first mounting seat 110 and the first connecting member 120 , facilitates the processing of the first mounting seat 110 and the first connecting member 120 , and reduces the processing cost of the connecting assembly 100 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the avoidance hole 110 b is a circular hole, the connecting portion 122 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the connecting portion 122 is smaller than the diameter of the avoidance hole 110 b.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 120 is a bolt, the positioning portion 121 is a nut of the bolt, the nut is located in the installation cavity 110a, the connecting portion 122 is a screw rod of the bolt, the screw rod extends out of the installation cavity 110a through the avoidance hole 110b, and is threadedly connected to the second connecting member 140.

[0068] Since the positioning portion 121 of the first connecting member 120 is located in the installation cavity 110a, and the first connecting member 120 can move in the X direction and the Z direction, there is a certain gap between the positioning portion 121 of the first connecting member 120 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 110a to ensure that the movement in the X direction and the Z direction can be realized. Under the action of these gaps, the first connecting member 120 can actually rotate to a certain angle, but in order to ensure that the second connecting member 140 can rotate relative to the first connecting member 120 to realize the movement of the second connecting member 140 in the Y direction, after the first connecting member 120 rotates to a certain angle, the first connecting member 120 will be unable to continue to rotate under the action of the inner wall of the first mounting seat 110. Therefore, the positioning portion 121 can be configured to abut against the inner wall of the first mounting seat 110 when the first connecting member 120 rotates with the second connecting member 140, so that the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 can rotate relative to each other.

[0069] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting assembly 100 also includes a limit member 150, which is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 110a and fixedly connected to the positioning portion 121. The limit member 150 is configured to abut against the inner wall of the first mounting seat 110 when the first connecting member 120 rotates with the second connecting member 140, so that the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 can rotate relative to each other.

[0070] The limit member 150 is fixedly connected to the nut. After the first connecting member 120 rotates a certain angle, the limit member 150 will contact the inner wall of the first mounting seat 110, so that the first connecting member 120 cannot continue to rotate, so that the second connecting member 140 can rotate and move relative to the first connecting member 120, so that the second connecting member 140 can move in the Y direction, thereby realizing the locking of the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first mounting seat 110 includes a base 111 and a limit seat 112 spaced apart along the Y direction; the base 111 is used to be fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 200; the limit seat 112 is fixedly connected to the base 111, and together with the base 111 forms an installation cavity 110a, and the limit seat 112 has an avoidance hole 110b.

[0072] The base 111 and the limiting seat 112 can be fixedly connected by bolt connection, welding, etc. The first mounting seat 110 is composed of the base 111 and the limiting seat 112, which can facilitate the installation of the first connecting member 120. After such a design, the connecting portion 122 of the first connecting member 120 can be passed through the avoidance hole 110b first, and then the base 111 and the limiting seat 112 are fixedly connected, and the positioning portion 121 is located between the base 111 and the limiting seat 112.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 111 includes a fixed plate 1111 and a first flange 1112 which is arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed plate 1111 and fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1111, and the fixed plate 1111 is used to be fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 200; the limiting seat 112 is located on the inner side of the first flange 1112, and the limiting seat 112 includes two spaced connecting plates 1121 and a limiting plate 1122 arranged between the two connecting plates 1121, the limiting plate 1122 is fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 1121, and the connecting plate 1121 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1111, and the fixed plate 1111, the first flange 1112, the two connecting plates 1121 and the limiting plate 1122 together form an installation cavity 110a.

[0074] The first flange 1112 is arranged around the edge of the fixing plate 1111, and the first flange 1112 can improve the structural strength of the base 111. The two limit plates 1122 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1121, and the limit plates 1122 are arranged between the two connecting plates 1121, and the limit plates 1122 are fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 1121.

[0075] In some embodiments, the base 111 and the limiting seat 112 are integrally formed by a stamping process, and the base 111 and the limiting seat 112 are fixedly connected by welding.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second connecting member 140 is sleeved outside the first connecting member 120 , and the second mounting seat 130 is sleeved outside the second connecting member 140 .

[0077] The outer circumference of the connecting portion 122 of the first connecting member 120 is provided with a first external thread (not shown in the figure), and the second connecting member 140 is provided with a first internal thread (not shown in the figure) adapted to the specification of the first external thread. The connecting portion 122 and the second connecting member 140 are threadedly connected by the first internal thread and the first external thread. The outer circumference of the second connecting member 140 is provided with a second external thread, and the second mounting seat 130 is provided with a second internal thread adapted to the second external thread. The second connecting member 140 and the second mounting seat 130 are threadedly connected by the second external thread and the second internal thread. The first external thread, the first internal thread, the second external thread and the second internal thread are coaxially arranged to ensure that the second connecting member 140 can move along the Y direction.

[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the second connecting member 140 includes a screwing portion 141, a sleeve portion 142 and a mounting portion 143. The screwing portion 141 is used to cooperate with a screwing tool, and the screwing portion 141 is sleeved outside the first connecting member 120 and is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120; the sleeve portion 142 is sleeved outside the screwing portion 141, and the second mounting seat 130 is sleeved outside the sleeve portion 142 and is threadedly connected to the sleeve portion 142; the mounting portion 143 is sleeved outside the first connecting member 120, disposed between the screwing portion 141 and the sleeve portion 142, and fixedly connected to the screwing portion 141 and the sleeve portion 142.

[0079] The sleeve portion 142 is tubular. In these embodiments, a first internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the screwing portion 141, and a second external thread is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve portion 142. The screwing tool may be a sleeve, a screwdriver, or the like. The structure of the screwing portion 141 is diverse, and the shape of the screwing portion 141 may be a regular polygon, so that the sleeve can be sleeved outside the screwing portion 141, thereby facilitating the user to screw the second connecting member 140; a slot such as a slotted groove or a cross slot may be provided on the screwing portion 141, so that a screwdriver can be inserted into the slot, thereby facilitating the user to screw the second connecting member 140. The mounting portion 143 is fixedly connected to both the screwing portion 141 and the sleeve portion 142, connecting the screwing portion 141 and the sleeve portion 142 together.

[0080] In some embodiments, a through hole is formed on the screwing portion 141 , and a first internal thread is formed on an inner wall of the through hole.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 143 is disposed at one end of the sleeve portion 142 close to the first mounting seat 110 , and the screwing portion 141 is located at a side of the mounting portion 143 away from the first mounting seat 110 .

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 144 extending along the Y direction are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the sleeve portion 142 .

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including a side panel assembly 200, a charging port cover assembly 300 and a plurality of connecting components 100, wherein a first mounting seat 110 is fixedly connected to the side panel assembly 200, and a second mounting seat 130 is fixedly connected to a base 310 of the charging port cover assembly 300.

[0084] The arrangement of multiple connection assemblies 100 connects multiple parts of the charging port cover assembly 300 and the side enclosure assembly 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the charging port cover assembly 300 and the side enclosure assembly 200. In some embodiments, five connection assemblies 100 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the base 310 of the charging port cover assembly 300.

[0085] After such design, if there is a certain tolerance accumulation on the mounting structure for mounting the connecting component 100 on the side enclosure assembly 200, or if there is a certain tolerance between the mounting accuracy of the first mounting seat 110 and the side enclosure assembly 200, the first connecting member 120 can be moved along the X direction to absorb the tolerance accumulation in the X direction, and the first connecting member 120 can be moved along the Z direction to absorb the tolerance accumulation in the Z direction. Since the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120 and the second mounting seat 130, and the first connecting member 120 extends along the Y direction, during the process of locking the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120, the second connecting member 140 will move relative to the second mounting seat 130 in the Y direction, and then the second connecting member 140 can absorb the tolerance accumulation in the Y direction, so that the charging port cover assembly 300 can be smoothly installed on the side enclosure assembly 200, which facilitates the installation of the charging port cover assembly 300, and also helps to reduce the requirements for the dimensional accuracy of the side enclosure assembly 200, and facilitates the processing of the side enclosure assembly 200.

[0086] like Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, along the circumference of the second mounting seat 130, a plurality of slots 130a extending along the Y direction are spaced apart on the second mounting seat 130; the base 310 is provided with a mounting lug 311, and a plurality of clamping plates 3111 extending along the Y direction are spaced apart on the inner wall of the mounting lug 311, and the clamping plates 3111 are clamped in the slots 130a.

[0087] It should be noted that the card plate 3111 and the card slot 130a are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and one card slot 130a corresponds to one card plate 3111. After such a design, the second mounting seat 130 is clamped on the base 310. The card slot 130a and the card plate 3111 both extend along the Y direction, so that the second mounting seat 130 can slide along the Y direction under an external force parallel to the Y direction, and then be clamped on the card plate 3111, or be removed from the card plate 3111, which facilitates the installation and removal of the second mounting seat 130.

[0088] In some embodiments, four slots 130 a extending along the Y direction are defined on the outer circumference of the second mounting seat 130 .

[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the side panel assembly 200 includes a side panel assembly body 220 and a side panel reinforcement plate 210 fixedly connected to the side panel assembly body 220 , a mounting boss 211 is provided on the side panel reinforcement plate 210 , and the first mounting seat 110 is fixedly connected to the mounting boss 211 .

[0090] In some embodiments, the side enclosure reinforcement plate 210 is welded to the side enclosure assembly body 220 , and the first mounting seat 110 is fixed to the mounting boss 211 by welding.

[0091] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, a circle of second flange 221 is provided on the side enclosure assembly body 220, and a circle of limiting groove 310b is provided on the base 310, the second flange 221 is inserted into the limiting groove 310b, and has an interference fit with the inner wall of the limiting groove 310b, and the limiting groove 310b is filled with sealing materials such as foam glue, so that the side enclosure assembly body 220 and the base 310 are sealed and connected.

[0092] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a water leakage hole 310 a is provided on the base 310 , so that after rainwater leaks into the base 310 , it can be discharged through the water leakage hole 310 a .

[0093] The following describes the method of using the connection assembly 100 of the present application:

[0094] First, the connecting portion 122 of the first connecting member 120 passes through the avoidance hole 110b of the limiting seat 112 of the first mounting seat 110;

[0095] Next, the base 111 of the first mounting seat 110 is welded to the limiting seat 112, and the first connecting member 120 is movably connected to the first mounting seat 110;

[0096] Next, the first mounting seat 110 with the first connecting member 120 is welded to the mounting boss 211 of the side panel reinforcement plate 210;

[0097] Next, align the slot 130a of the second mounting seat 130 with the clamping plate 3111, and press the second mounting seat 130 so that the second mounting seat 130 is clamped on the base 310;

[0098] Next, align the second connecting member 140 with the second mounting seat 130, and rotate the second connecting member 140 along the first rotation direction so that the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected in the second mounting seat 130;

[0099] Next, the positions of the first connecting members 120 are adjusted so that the first connecting members 120 are aligned with the corresponding second connecting members 140 ;

[0100] Next, rotate the second connecting member 140 along the first rotation direction so that the second connecting member 140 is threadedly connected to the first connecting member 120, and the second connecting member 140 will move toward the limit seat 112 until the second connecting member 140 abuts against the limit seat 112 of the first mounting seat 110 and the nut of the first connecting member 120 abuts against the limit seat 112. At this point, the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 140 are locked, and the charging port cover assembly 300 is successfully fixedly installed on the side enclosure reinforcement plate 210 of the side enclosure assembly 200.

[0101] When the second connecting member 140 rotates along the first rotation direction, the limiting member 150 will abut against the inner wall of the limiting seat 112. Since the limiting member 150 is fixed to the first connecting member 120, the first connecting member 120 will not rotate with the second connecting member 140. The second connecting member 140 rotates along the first rotation direction, which will drive the first connecting member 120 to move toward the direction close to the second connecting member 140, so that the first connecting member 120 abuts against the limiting seat 112. When the second connecting member 140 rotates along the first rotation direction, the second connecting member 140 will also move toward the direction of the limiting seat 112, so the second connecting member 140 will also abut against the limiting seat 112. Finally, the second connecting member 140 and the first connecting member 120 clamp the limiting seat 112, and the first connecting member 120 and the second connecting member 140 are both fixed, thereby realizing that the charging port cover assembly 300 is fixedly installed on the side enclosure reinforcement plate 210 of the side enclosure assembly 200.

[0102] The following describes the installation method of the connection assembly 100 of the present application:

[0103] To disassemble the charging port cover assembly 300, the second connecting member 140 is rotated in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction until the second connecting member 140 is separated from the first connecting member 120. One of the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction is a clockwise direction, and the other is a counterclockwise direction.
