The connection bracket plays a role in supporting and fixing the charging socket 4, ensuring that the charging socket 4 will not loosen or fall off due to external force during use or driving. The plurality of connection brackets can evenly disperse the forces from different directions, thereby improving the stability of the entire assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a relief portion 3 is formed between the multiple connection brackets, and the charging socket 4 includes a connected mounting plate 41 and a socket body 42, the mounting plate 41 is connected to each connection bracket, and the socket body 42 is located in the relief portion 3. In other words, the relief portion 3 provides a mounting space for the socket body 42, ensuring that the charging socket 4 is normally assembled without being affected by the surrounding structure, and the charging socket 4 is firmly connected to the vehicle body 200 through the mounting plate 41, which improves the stability of the overall structure and makes the charging socket assembly 100 more durable and reliable.

[0030] According to the charging socket assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of connecting brackets are arranged circumferentially of the charging socket 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the charging socket 4, reducing the difficulty of installing the charging socket 4, improving the adjustment convenience of the charging socket 4, making it easy to operate, saving installation time, and improving the convenience of the charging socket 4.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the multiple connection brackets at least include: a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, the first bracket 1 is formed with a first fixing portion 11, and the first bracket 1 is connected to the vehicle body 200 through the first fixing portion 11, and the second bracket 2 is formed with a second fixing portion 21, and the second bracket 2 is connected to the vehicle body 200 through the second fixing portion 21. It can be understood that the multiple connection brackets include the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, and the charging socket 4 is connected to the vehicle body 200 through the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The first fixing portion 11 and the second fixing portion 21 ensure the stable connection between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 and the vehicle body 200, thereby enhancing the stability of the charging socket 4 and improving the safety of the vehicle. In addition, if a bracket is damaged or needs to be replaced, only the bracket with the problem needs to be dealt with in a targeted manner.

[0032] Preferably, the first fixing portion 11 is formed as a welding plate, and the first bracket 1 is welded to the vehicle body 200 through the welding plate. The second fixing portion 21 is formed as a fixing hole, and the second bracket 2 is connected to the vehicle body 200 by fasteners penetrating the mounting hole. It can be understood that welding is a very strong, stable and durable connection method, which can provide the charging socket assembly 100 with extremely high structural strength and stability, reduce the risk of loosening, and do not require additional fasteners, simplifying the installation process; the second bracket 2 is connected to the vehicle body 200 using fasteners for easy disassembly and maintenance, and allows adjustment during the assembly process. In this way, the stability of the charging socket assembly 100 is guaranteed, while taking into account maintainability.

[0033] In other embodiments, the connecting brackets may also include three, four, five, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the second bracket 2 is formed with a flange 22, which is adapted to the shape of the vehicle body 200, and the second fixing portion 21 is formed on the flange 22. In other words, the flange 22 increases the rigidity of the second bracket 2, increases the connection area between the second bracket 2 and the vehicle body 200, and improves the connection stability of the charging socket assembly 100. In addition, the flange 22 helps to ensure that the bracket can be correctly aligned with the corresponding position on the vehicle body 200 during installation, simplifies the installation process and improves the installation accuracy. As a result, not only the functionality and durability of the charging socket assembly 100 are enhanced, but also the assembly convenience and the overall quality of the final product are taken into consideration.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the first bracket 1 is formed with a first mounting portion 12, the second bracket 2 is formed with a second mounting portion 23, the mounting plate 41 is formed with a third mounting portion 43 and a fourth mounting portion 44, the charging socket 4 is connected to the first bracket 1 through the first mounting portion 12 and the third mounting portion 43, and the charging socket 4 is connected to the second bracket 2 through the second mounting portion 23 and the fourth mounting portion 44. Thus, the charging socket 4 is connected to the vehicle body 200 through the first mounting portion 12, the second mounting portion 23, the third mounting portion 43 and the fourth mounting portion 44, which increases the connection stability, reduces the risk of failure of the entire assembly due to single point damage, and the mounting portions cooperate with each other to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the installation.

[0036] Preferably, if Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting portion 12, the second mounting portion 23, the third mounting portion 43 and the fourth mounting portion 44 are all formed as mounting holes, the charging socket 4 is connected to the first bracket 1 by fasteners passing through the mounting holes, and the charging socket 4 is connected to the second bracket 2 by fasteners passing through the mounting holes. Through multiple mounting holes and fixed by fasteners, it can be ensured that the charging socket assembly 100 is firmly connected to the vehicle body 200 and is not easy to loosen or shift. The multi-point fixed structure helps to evenly disperse the forces from different directions, thereby improving the overall mechanical strength and durability.

[0037] Furthermore, appropriate washers or other shock-absorbing materials may be selected through the fastener connection to reduce the impact of vibration on the charging socket 4 and increase its service life.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are arranged spaced apart, and a relief portion 3 is defined between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. Therefore, the structural design of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 is reasonable, and air circulation is allowed in the relief portion 3, which helps to take away the heat generated during the charging process, keep the temperature in the charging socket 4 always within a safe range, and the relief portion 3 can protect the charging socket 4 from physical damage.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a weight-reducing hole 24 is formed on at least one of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. In this way, while ensuring the structural strength of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the weight of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 is reduced, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the weight-reducing hole 24 can increase air circulation and help heat dissipation.

[0040] Preferably, in order to increase connection strength and durability, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are both metal parts.
