Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging port structure technology, specifically to a charging cover module and a vehicle body device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the charging cover assembly and the vehicle body are mostly fixedly connected structures. Due to the long cumulative dimensions of the vehicle body and the charging cover assembly, the gap between the external connector in the charging cover assembly and the vehicle body fluctuates greatly after the charging cover assembly is installed on the vehicle body. In particular, the gap between the external connector in the charging cover assembly and the vehicle body in the front-rear direction often shows problems such as larger gap in the front and smaller gap in the back, which reduces the assembly pass rate of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a charging cover module and a body assembly to improve the vehicle assembly yield.

[0004] This application provides a charging cover module, including:

[0005] An inner connector, one end of which is used for rotatably connecting with the vehicle body, and the other end of which is used for holding the vehicle body, the inner connector has two adjustment holes, the two adjustment holes are spaced apart along the translation direction, and the translation direction is parallel to the rotation axis of the inner connector;

[0006] An outer connector is snapped into the inner connector and is movable relative to the inner connector along the translational direction;

[0007] Two sets of adjustment components correspond one-to-one with the two adjustment holes. Each set of adjustment components includes an adjustment seat, a linkage, and a locking component. Each adjustment seat is connected to the side of the inner connector away from the outer connector and is located on the side of the corresponding adjustment hole away from the other adjustment hole. The adjustment seat has a threaded hole, the central axis of which is parallel to the rotation axis of the inner connector. The linkage is connected to the outer connector and passes through the corresponding adjustment hole. The linkage can move relative to the inner connector in the translational direction within the corresponding adjustment hole. One end of the locking component is threaded to the threaded hole, and the other end of the locking component is used to push against the corresponding linkage.

[0008] When the aforementioned charging cover module is assembled onto the vehicle body, the two locking components can be rotated to move the linkage component and the outer connector relative to the inner connector, thereby changing the position of the outer connector relative to the vehicle body and adjusting the gap between the outer connector and other components on the vehicle body, thus improving the vehicle assembly pass rate.

[0009] In some embodiments, the locking element includes:

[0010] The screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole;

[0011] A pusher body is connected to one end of the screw, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the pusher body along the radial direction of the screw is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the screw in the radial direction. The pusher body is used to push against the corresponding linkage component.

[0012] Therefore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the pusher along the radial direction of the screw is larger than that of the screw, which allows the pusher to uniformly apply the forward thrust generated by the screw rotation to the linkage, thereby improving the stability of the linkage driving the outer connecting part to move relative to the inner connecting part.

[0013] In some embodiments, the linkage member has a guide hole on the side facing the corresponding adjusting seat, and the locking member further includes:

[0014] A guide body, connected to the side of the pusher body opposite to the screw, is used to insert into the guide hole.

[0015] Therefore, the insertion and matching of the guide hole and the guide body can prevent the locking part from shaking during the process of pushing the linkage, thereby improving the stability of the force applied by the locking part to the linkage.

[0016] In some embodiments, a rotating hole is provided on the side of the screw away from the pusher body. The rotating hole is used to accommodate a rotating tool so that the locking member rotates under the drive of the rotating tool.

[0017] Therefore, the rotating hole can be inserted and fitted with an external rotating tool to reduce the difficulty of rotating the locking part.

[0018] In some embodiments, the axial length of the screw is less than the axial depth of the threaded hole.

[0019] Therefore, the axial length of the screw is less than the axial depth of the threaded hole, which allows the screw to be completely housed within the threaded hole. This avoids collisions with external components and helps improve the stability of the locking mechanism's rotation and extend its service life.

[0020] In some embodiments, the inner connector and the two adjusting seats are an integral structure, and / or the screw, the pusher and the guide are an integral structure.

[0021] Therefore, the integrated internal connector and two adjustment seats, and / or the integrated locking component, can reduce the processing difficulty of the charging cover module and help reduce the production cost of the charging cover module.

[0022] In some embodiments, reinforcing members are provided on opposite sides of the linkage member, and the reinforcing members are respectively connected to the linkage member and the external connecting member.

[0023] Therefore, the stability of the connection between the linkage and the external connector can be improved by using reinforcement components.

[0024] In some embodiments, a clearance groove is provided on the side wall of the adjustment hole, and the clearance groove is located on the side of the inner connector opposite to the outer connector.

[0025] Therefore, the clearance groove can form a working space around the linkage, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the external and internal connecting parts.

[0026] In some embodiments, the inner connector has a retaining groove and a retaining hole. The retaining groove is located on the side of the inner connector opposite to the outer connector, and the retaining hole penetrates the bottom wall of the retaining groove. The outer connector includes:

[0027] An outer connecting plate is connected to the linkage component and covers the inner connecting component;

[0028] An insert body is connected to the outer connecting plate and inserted into the retaining hole;

[0029] A protrusion is connected to the side of the insert body away from the outer connecting plate to press against the bottom wall of the retaining groove, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the protrusion gradually increases along the direction close to the outer connecting plate.

[0030] Therefore, the above configuration allows the inner and outer connectors to form a locking fit, which is simple to process and has low manufacturing cost.

[0031] This application also provides a vehicle body device, including:

[0032] The vehicle body is equipped with a charging port;

[0033] In the aforementioned charging cover module, one end of the inner connector is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the other end of the inner connector is used to hold the vehicle body.

[0034] When the inner connector holds the vehicle body, the inner connector is housed in the charging port, and the outer connector covers the charging port.

[0035] In the aforementioned body assembly, rotating the two locking components can drive the linkage component and the outer connecting component to move relative to the inner connecting component, thereby changing the position of the outer connecting component relative to the vehicle body and adjusting the gap between the outer connecting component and other components on the vehicle body, thus improving the assembly pass rate of the vehicle in which the body assembly is located.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between the two; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements. In the description of this application, it should be noted that "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] The embodiments of this case will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a charging cover module 100, including an inner connector 110, an outer connector 120, and two sets of adjustment components 130. One end of the inner connector 110 is used for rotatable connection with the vehicle body, and the other end of the inner connector 110 is used for holding the vehicle body. The inner connector 110 has two adjustment holes 110a, which are spaced apart along the translational direction, which is parallel to the rotation axis of the inner connector 110. The outer connector 120 is engaged with the inner connector 110 and is movable relative to the inner connector 110 along the translational direction. Two sets of adjustment components 130 correspond one-to-one with two adjustment holes 110a. Each set of adjustment components 130 includes an adjustment seat 131, a linkage 132, and a locking component 133. Each adjustment seat 131 is connected to the side of the inner connector 110 away from the outer connector 120 and is located on the side of the corresponding adjustment hole 110a away from the other adjustment hole 110a. The adjustment seat 131 has a threaded hole 131a. The central axis of the threaded hole 131a is parallel to the rotation axis of the inner connector 110. The linkage 132 is connected to the outer connector 120 and passes through the corresponding adjustment hole 110a. The linkage 132 can move relative to the inner connector 110 in the translational direction within the corresponding adjustment hole 110a. One end of the locking component 133 is threaded to the threaded hole 131a, and the other end of the locking component 133 is used to push against the corresponding linkage 132.

[0046] When the aforementioned charging cover module 100 is assembled onto the vehicle body, the two locking parts 133 can be rotated to drive the linkage part 132 and the outer connector 120 to move relative to the inner connector 110, thereby changing the position of the outer connector 120 relative to the vehicle body and adjusting the gap between the outer connector 120 and other parts on the vehicle body, thereby improving the vehicle assembly pass rate.

[0047] It should be noted that when adjusting the relative position of the outer connector 120 with respect to the inner connector 110, the two locking members 133 rotate in the same direction. Specifically, when one locking member 133 rotates, it moves away from the corresponding linkage member 132, so that a gap is formed between the locking member 133 and the corresponding linkage member 132. When the other locking member 133 rotates, it moves closer to the corresponding linkage member 132, so that the locking member 133 pushes against the corresponding linkage member 132, thereby causing the linkage member 132 to drive the outer connector 120 to move. Two locking members 133 can be configured to rotate in opposite directions to achieve movement in the same direction. For example, one locking member 133 can be rotated clockwise to move it away from the corresponding linkage member 132, and the other locking member 133 can be rotated counterclockwise to push against the corresponding linkage member 132. Alternatively, one locking member 133 can be rotated counterclockwise to move it away from the corresponding linkage member 132, and the other locking member 133 can be rotated clockwise to push against the corresponding linkage member 132.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the locking member 133 includes a screw 1331 and a pusher 1332. The screw 1331 is threadedly connected to a threaded hole 131a, and the pusher 1332 is connected to one end of the screw 1331. The cross-sectional area of ​​the pusher 1332 along the radial direction of the screw 1331 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the screw 1331 in the radial direction. The pusher 1332 is used to push against the corresponding linkage member 132.

[0049] In this embodiment, the radial cross-sections of both the pusher 1332 and the screw 1331 are circular.

[0050] Therefore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the pusher 1332 along the radial direction of the screw 1331 is greater than that of the screw 1331, which enables the pusher 1332 to uniformly apply the forward pushing force generated by the screw rotation to the linkage 132, thereby improving the stability of the linkage 132 in driving the outer connector 120 to move relative to the inner connector 110.

[0051] In some embodiments, the linkage 132 has a guide hole 132a on the side facing the corresponding adjusting seat 131, and the locking member 133 further includes a guide body 1333. The guide body 1333 is connected to the side of the pusher 1332 away from the screw 1331 and is used to insert into the guide hole 132a.

[0052] Therefore, the insertion and cooperation of the guide hole 132a and the guide body 1333 can prevent the locking member 133 from shaking during the process of pushing the linkage member 132, thereby improving the stability of the force applied by the locking member 133 to the linkage member 132.

[0053] In this embodiment, the guide hole 132a passes through the opposite sides of the linkage member 132 along the translation direction, so that the guide body 1333 can be fully inserted into the guide hole 132a, so that the pusher body 1332 pushes against the linkage member 132.

[0054] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a rotating hole 1331a is provided on the side of the screw 1331 away from the pusher 1332. The rotating hole 1331a is used to accommodate a rotating tool so that the locking member 133 rotates under the drive of the rotating tool. The radial cross-section of the rotating hole 1331a is polygonal.

[0055] Therefore, the rotating hole 1331a can be inserted into an external rotating tool to reduce the difficulty of rotating the locking part 133.

[0056] In some embodiments, the axial length of the screw 1331 is less than the axial depth of the threaded hole 131a.

[0057] Therefore, the axial length of the screw 1331 is less than the axial depth of the threaded hole 131a, which allows the screw 1331 to be completely housed within the threaded hole 131a. This avoids collisions between external components and the screw 1331, and helps to improve the stability of the locking member 133's rotation and the service life of the locking member 133.

[0058] In some embodiments, the inner connector 110 and the two adjusting seats 131 are an integral structure, and the screw 1331, the pusher 1332, and the guide 1333 are an integral structure. In other embodiments, only the inner connector 110 and the two adjusting seats 131 may be an integral structure, or only the screw 1331, the pusher 1332, and the guide 1333 may be an integral structure.

[0059] Therefore, the integrated internal connector 110, the two adjustment seats 131, and the integrated locking component 133 can reduce the processing difficulty of the charging cover module 100 and help reduce the production cost of the charging cover module 100.

[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, reinforcing members 134 are provided on opposite sides of the linkage 132, and the reinforcing members 134 are respectively connected to the linkage 132 and the external connector 120. Exemplarily, there can be multiple reinforcing members 134 on each side of the linkage 132, and the number of reinforcing members 134 on opposite sides of the linkage 132 can also be different.

[0061] Therefore, the stability of the connection between the linkage 132 and the external connector 120 can be improved by the reinforcing member 134.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the side wall of the adjustment hole 110a is provided with a clearance groove 110b, which is located on the side of the inner connector 110 away from the outer connector 120.

[0063] Therefore, the clearance groove 110b can form a working space around the linkage 132, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the outer connector 120 and the inner connector 110.

[0064] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the inner connector 110 has a retaining groove 110c and a retaining hole 110d. The retaining groove 110c is located on the side of the inner connector 110 away from the outer connector 120, and the retaining hole 110d penetrates the bottom wall of the retaining groove 110c. The outer connector 120 includes an outer connecting plate 121, an insert body 122, and a protrusion 123. The outer connecting plate 121 is connected to the linkage 132 and covers the inner connector 110. The insert body 122 is connected to the outer connecting plate 121 and inserted into the retaining hole 110d. The protrusion 123 is connected to the side of the insert body 122 away from the outer connecting plate 121 to press against the bottom wall of the retaining groove 110c, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the protrusion 123 gradually increases along the direction close to the outer connecting plate 121.

[0065] Therefore, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the inner connector 110 and the outer connector 120 to form a retaining fit, which is simple to process and has low manufacturing cost.

[0066] In this embodiment, there can be multiple retaining grooves 110c, retaining holes 110d, insert bodies 122 and protrusions 123. Multiple retaining grooves 110c, multiple retaining holes 110d, multiple insert bodies 122 and multiple protrusions 123 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the connection between the inner connector 110 and the outer connector 120.

[0067] Please see Figure 5 This application embodiment also provides a vehicle body device 1000, including a vehicle body 200 and the aforementioned charging cover module 100 (e.g. Figure 1 (As shown). The vehicle body 200 has a charging port 200a. One end of the inner connector 110 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 200, and the other end of the inner connector 110 is used to hold the vehicle body 200. When the inner connector 110 holds the vehicle body 200, the inner connector 110 is housed in the charging port 200a, and the outer connector 120 covers the charging port 200a.

[0068] In the aforementioned body assembly 1000, the two locking members 133 can be rotated to drive the linkage member 132 and the outer connecting member 120 to move relative to the inner connecting member 110, thereby changing the position of the outer connecting member 120 relative to the vehicle body 200, adjusting the gap between the outer connecting member 120 and other components on the vehicle body 200, thereby improving the assembly pass rate of the vehicle in which the body assembly 1000 is located.
