[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Moreover, the reference numerals and / or letters in the various examples can be repeated in different instances in this disclosure for the sake of simplicity and clarity and do not indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or spatial orientations of the various embodiments discussed. In addition, the present disclosure provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0036] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0037] In the related art, in order to ensure that the charging seat and the charging port are in position, the charging seat is generally installed on the vehicle body, and the charging port is installed on the charging port position on the fender. Since the fender can be adjusted in the X direction, the charging port and the charging seat cannot be completely centered from the perspective of the size chain, which will cause the rubber of the charging seat and the charging port cover to be squeezed, affecting the appearance of the vehicle, and there are many complaints about this in the market.

[0038] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application disclose a charging seat positioning tool and a charging seat installation method, which can solve the technical problem that the charging seat and the charging port cannot be centered, thereby avoiding the rubber of the charging seat and the charging port cover not being attached or being squeezed and deformed, and avoiding increasing the overall weight of the vehicle.

[0039] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first aspect of the present application, a charging seat positioning tool 1000 is provided for installing a charging seat 2000 on a vehicle, which comprises a tool main body 100, a connecting structure 200 and a positioning structure 300. The tool main body 100 is used to carry and move the charging seat 2000; the connecting structure 200 is used to connect the charging seat 2000 and the tool main body 100, so that the tool main body 100 can drive the charging seat 2000 to move synchronously when the tool main body 100 moves; and the positioning structure 300 is arranged on the tool main body 100 and used to abut against the wall of the charging port 3100 on the fender 3000 of the vehicle body, so as to realize accurate positioning of the charging seat 2000.

[0041] In one embodiment, the positioning structure 300 comprises at least two positioning blocks 310 which are spaced apart and arranged on different sides of the tool main body 100. Each positioning block 310 positions the tool main body 100 from a different direction, so as to ensure that the tool main body 100 can be arranged in the charging port 3100 in a centered manner.

[0042] Generally, when the orientation of the two positioning blocks 310 is different, the positioning of the tool body 100 can be completed, and the more positioning blocks 310 can help to improve the positioning efficiency and positioning accuracy of the tool body 100.

[0043] In one embodiment, the shape of the tool body 100 is the same as that of the charging port 3100 on the wing panel 3000, and at least one positioning block 310 is arranged on each side of the tool body 100. By arranging multiple positioning blocks 310, the tool can be more stable when connected to the wing panel 3000.

[0044] In one embodiment, the positions of the positioning blocks 310 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the cooperation structure for fixing the charging port cover 4000 on the wing panel 3000. In this way, the positioning and installation of the tool body 100 can be completed without adding other structures to the wing panel 3000, and after the installation of the charging seat 2000 is completed and the charging seat positioning tool 1000 is removed, the vehicle will not be additionally structured, and the total weight of the vehicle will not be increased.

[0045] Referring to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the positioning block 310 includes a fastening part 311 and a positioning part 312. The first end of the fastening part 311 is used to connect with the cooperation structure, and the positioning part 312 is located at the second end of the fastening part 311, and the height of the positioning part 312 is greater than the height of the fastening part 311. The height of the fastening part 311 and the height of the positioning part 312 are designed to ensure that there is a 0.1mm reserved gap between the fastening part 311 and the wing panel 3000 during assembly, thereby avoiding interference during installation. The length of the fastening part 311 is greater than the length of the positioning part 312, and the positioning part 312 and the fastening part 311 are in a stepped shape. An adjustment distance 313 can be formed on the fastening part 311 to facilitate position adjustment during the centering installation of the tool body 100. In general processing, the adjustment distance 313 is usually set to 5mm, which can facilitate the assembly of the positioning block 310 and will not cause the tool body 100 to be unstable after installation. After the centering adjustment of the tool body 100 is completed, the positioning block 310 and the cooperation structure for fixing the charging port cover 4000 on the wing panel 3000 can be connected together to fix the tool body 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, positioning holes are arranged on the positioning blocks 310, and the matching structure also has matching holes for fixing the charging port cover 4000. During processing, the positioning holes need to be perpendicular to the mounting surface of the positioning blocks 310, to ensure effective installation of the pins and facilitate the transfer process. The positioning blocks 310 and the matching structure can be fixed by pins, that is, the pins are inserted into the positioning holes on the positioning blocks 310 and the matching holes in the matching structure to complete the connection. When all the positioning blocks 310 are connected to the matching structure by pins, the positioning and fixing of the tool body 100 can be achieved due to the different directions of the pins. Of course, the connection of the positioning blocks 310 and the matching structure by pins is only one embodiment in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, temporary fixing between the positioning blocks 310 and the matching structure can also be achieved by using bolts, buckle structures, or yin-yang stickers.

[0047] In one embodiment, the tool body 100 is smaller than the charging port 3100, so that the tool body 100 can be completely accommodated into the charging port 3100 on the fender 3000, and the tool body 100 also has a certain amount of movement in the charging port 3100 for adjustment, which is more convenient during installation.

[0048] Each positioning block 310 protrudes outward from the outer wall of the tool body 100, and the contour line formed by the outer wall of each positioning block 310 is consistent with the inner wall contour line of the charging port 3100. When positioning and installing the charging seat 2000, the tool body 100 and the positioning blocks 310 are located in the charging port 3100. Then the tool body 100 moves together with the positioning blocks 310 until the contour line formed by the outer wall of each positioning block 310 completely coincides with the inner wall contour line of the charging port 3100, which can be regarded as the tool body 100 being adjusted to the center position. Of course, to ensure that the tool body 100 is just at the center position at this time, the length of the positioning blocks 310 protruding from the tool body 100 can be changed to achieve this.

[0049] In one embodiment, the shape of the tool body 100 can also be the same as that of the charging port 3100, and the size of the tool body 100 can also be the same as that of the charging port 3100. At this time, the positioning blocks 310 are only used to connect with the matching structure to achieve the fixation of the tool body 100, and the centering of the tool body 100 can be achieved by itself. Specifically, when connecting the tool body 100 to the fender 3000, the tool body 100 is moved to the charging port 3100, and since the outer contour line of the tool body 100 is completely consistent with the inner contour line of the charging port 3100, the tool body 100 is just centered at this time.

[0050] In one embodiment, the charging base positioning tool 1000 further comprises handles 500 and / or clamping structures 400 for clamping the fender 3000, both of which are mounted on the tool body 100. The handles 500 are usually provided in pairs, which are elongated to facilitate the operator to keep the balance of the tool body 100 and control the orientation of the tool body 100. After the tool body 100 is moved to be centered with the charging port 3100, the fender 3000 can be clamped by the clamping structures 400 first, at which time the tool body 100 is preliminarily connected with the fender 3000, the operator can then leave the handles 500 with both hands, and then connect the positioning block 310 with the matching structure to complete the fixation of the tool body 100 on the fender 3000, after which the connection of the charging base 2000 with the vehicle body can be conveniently performed.

[0051] In one embodiment, the clamping structure 400 comprises a limiting groove 410. The clamping structure 400 is movably connected with the tool body 100, and when the clamping structure 400 moves relative to the tool body 100, the limiting groove 410 is engaged with the fender 3000 to limit the tool body 100. When the limiting groove 410 is engaged with the fender 3000, the preliminary positioning of the tool body 100 is completed, and when the limiting groove 410 is disengaged from the fender 3000, the tool body 100 can move along the axial direction of the charging port 3100. In order to ensure the stability of the clamping structure 400 and ensure that the clamping structure 400 can definitely clamp the fender 3000, the height of the limiting groove 410 is designed to be slightly greater than the thickness of the fender 3000, so that there is still a reserved gap of 0.2 mm after the clamping structure 400 is assembled with the fender 3000, which can avoid the interference with the fender 3000 when the clamping structure 400 is rotated or slid, and thus the installation is not possible.

[0052] In one embodiment, the clamping structure 400 comprises a rotating rod 420, a first limiting piece 430 and a second limiting piece 440. The rotating rod 420 is rotatably connected with the tool body 100, and the first limiting piece 430 and the second limiting piece 440 are oppositely arranged and respectively mounted on both ends of the rotating rod 420 to form the limiting groove 410. When the rotating rod 420 rotates, it has at least one position at which the limiting groove 410 and the fender 3000 have a coinciding part in the axial direction of the charging port 3100, at which time the fender 3000 is located in the limiting groove 410, and the fender 3000 can be clamped by the first limiting piece 430 and the second limiting piece 440. The distance between the first limiting piece 430 and the second limiting piece 440 is greater than the thickness of the fender 3000, and is usually about 0.2 mm greater than the thickness of the fender 3000.

[0053] In one embodiment, the clamping structure 400 comprises a sliding block, a first limiting sheet 430 and a second limiting sheet 440. The sliding block is in sliding connection with the tool main body 100, the first limiting sheet 430 and the second limiting sheet 440 are oppositely arranged, and the first limiting sheet 430 and the second limiting sheet 440 are respectively installed at two ends of the sliding block to form the limiting groove 410. The fender 3000 is located on the moving path of the sliding block, and when the sliding block moves relative to the tool main body 100, it has at least one position such that the limiting groove 410 and the fender 3000 have a coinciding portion in the axial direction of the charging port 3100, at this time the fender 3000 is located in the limiting groove 410, and the first limiting sheet 430 and the second limiting sheet 440 can form clamping on the fender 3000. The distance between the first limiting sheet 430 and the second limiting sheet 440 is greater than the thickness of the fender 3000, and generally the distance between the first limiting sheet 430 and the second limiting sheet 440 is about 0.2mm more than the thickness of the fender 3000.

[0054] In one embodiment, the tool main body 100 is also provided with a avoiding groove 110, and the position of the avoiding groove 110 corresponds to the position of the mounting hole 2100 of the charging seat 2000. Since after the fender 3000 is connected with the vehicle body, the space between the fender 3000 and the vehicle body is relatively small, and the working tool can only be inserted into the space at the charging port 3100, the avoiding groove 110 is provided so that the working tool can be twisted to tighten the fastener from this position. The avoiding groove 110 is greater than or equal to the size of the working tool, and generally the charging seat 2000 is connected with the vehicle body by screws, so in this embodiment, only the diameter of the avoiding groove 110 needs to be greater than or equal to the diameter of the screwdriver. Of course, in other embodiments, when the charging seat 2000 is connected with the vehicle body by using other structures or is fastened by using other structures, the size of the avoiding groove 110 should be adjusted according to the working tool used.

[0055] In one embodiment, the tool main body 100 is a frame structure, that is, the external contour line is consistent with the inner wall contour line of the charging port 3100, and an opening 120 is further provided in the middle. The opening 120 can facilitate observation of the charging seat 2000, and can also observe the stability of the connecting structure 200 connected with the charging seat 2000. When connecting the charging seat 2000 with the vehicle body, the cooperation between the working tool and the fastener can also be observed through the opening 120. The provision of the opening 120 also reduces the overall weight of the tool main body 100, making it more convenient to operate and control.

[0056] By the above embodiment, the application has the following beneficial effects or advantages: the charging base positioning tool 1000 disclosed by the application can adjust the position of the charging base 2000 by using the tool main body 100, so that the charging base 2000 and the charging port 3100 can be centered, the size chain of the charging base 2000 and the charging port cover 4000 is shortened, the rubber of the charging base and the charging port cover is prevented from not being attached or being extruded and deformed, the problem of interference between the charging base and the charging port cover is effectively solved, market complaints are reduced, and the precision of the docking of the charging base and the charging port and the use experience satisfaction are improved. The charging base positioning tool 1000 is used for assembling the charging base 2000, the charging base positioning tool 1000 can be self-positioned on the fender 3000, the charging base 2000 is positioned on the charging base positioning tool 1000, and is fixed by being tightly screwed. The charging base positioning tool 1000 is designed to include the positioning structure 300 and the clamping structure 400, so as to ensure the accurate positioning of the charging base 2000 in the X, Y and Z directions. After the adjustment is completed, the tool main body 100 can be directly disassembled, that is, the charging base 2000 and the charging port 3100 are centered, and the overall weight of the vehicle is not increased.

[0057] Based on the same inventive concept, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second aspect embodiment of the application discloses a charging base mounting method of the charging base positioning tool 1000 based on any one of the above-mentioned first aspect embodiments, which includes the following steps:

[0058] S1, connect the charging base 2000 and the charging base positioning tool 1000 through the connecting structure 200.

[0059] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the connecting structure 200 includes a positioning pin, one end of the positioning pin is fixed on the tool main body 100, the other end of the positioning pin can be inserted into the charging base 2000, and when the tool main body 100 moves in the plane where the charging port 3100 is located, the charging base 2000 can be moved in the plane, so as to change the position of the charging base 2000 and achieve the purpose of centering the charging base 2000 and the charging port 3100. Since the installation of the tool main body 100 may also require the tool main body 100 to move along the axis direction of the charging port 3100, the connecting structure 200 can also include a connecting head, so that the positioning pin and the connecting head are in sliding fit, so as to ensure that the positioning pin will not be separated from the charging base 2000 when the tool main body 100 moves along the axis direction of the charging port 3100.

[0060] The first connecting hole 2200 is a circular hole, and the second connecting hole 2300 is a waist-shaped hole. The corresponding connecting structure 200 is also provided with at least two connecting structures, one of which is connected with the first connecting hole 2200 for preliminary positioning, and the other connecting structure 200 is connected with the second connecting hole 2300. The waist-shaped hole can ensure that the connection is more convenient during installation, and even if there is some mechanical error, the connecting structure 200 can still successfully complete the connection with the second connecting hole 2300. The design of the waist-shaped hole increases the flexibility of the connection, and even if there is mechanical error, the connection can still be successfully completed.

[0061] Of course, the connecting structure 200 including the positioning pin and the connecting head is only one kind of connecting structure 200 in this embodiment. In other embodiments, the connecting structure 200 can also be connected with the charging base 2000 through clamping, bonding or clamping, etc. As long as the charging base 2000 can be driven to move synchronously with the tool body 100 when the tool body 100 moves.

[0062] In one embodiment, the charging base 2000 and the vehicle body are connected through fasteners, which can be screws or bolts, etc. Threaded holes are provided on the vehicle body, and mounting holes 2100 are provided on the charging base 2000 at positions corresponding to the threaded holes. The diameter of the mounting hole 2100 is greater than the diameter of the threaded hole, the screw is matched with the threaded hole, and the diameter of the screw head is equal to or greater than the diameter of the mounting hole 2100, so that when the mounting hole 2100 and the threaded hole are matched at any position, the screw can fix the charging base 2000 and the vehicle body. The mounting hole 2100 is added to the charging base 2000 to cooperate with the threaded hole on the vehicle body to ensure the precise positioning of the parts. At the same time, in order to avoid the problem of wrong hole during assembly, the diameter of the mounting hole 2100 of the charging base 2000 is designed as M+6mm (M is the size of the fastening bolt).

[0063] In one embodiment, the charging base 2000 and the vehicle body can be pre-installed first, so that the charging base 2000 is supported by the screw during the centering of the tool body 100, and the position of the tool body 100 is adjusted more conveniently. Specifically, the mounting hole 2100 on the charging base 2000 is preliminarily aligned with the threaded hole on the vehicle body, and then the screw is screwed into the threaded hole through the mounting hole 2100, but the screw head does not press the charging base 2000 tightly at this time, so that the charging base 2000 can still move relative to the vehicle body, but its weight will not be entirely borne by the tool body 100.

[0064] S2, adjust the position of the tool body 100 so that the positioning structure 300 abuts against the wall of the charging port 3100 on the wing panel 3000. While adjusting the tool body 100, the position of the charging seat 2000 is also adjusted, and when the tool body 100 is centered on the charging port 3100, the charging seat 2000 is also centered on the charging port 3100.

[0065] S3, fix the charging seat 2000 on the vehicle body by fasteners.

[0066] S4, separate the tool body 100 from the charging seat 2000, and remove the tool body 100 from the wing panel 3000.

[0067] The above method is to first pre-install the charging seat 2000 on the vehicle body and then center the tool body 100. In another embodiment, the charging seat 2000 can be connected to the tool body 100 first, and then the charging seat positioning tool 1000 is connected to the wing panel 3000, and the charging seat 2000 is fixed on the vehicle body when the wing panel 3000 is installed. This method can also ensure that the charging seat 2000 is centered on the charging port 3100 after being connected to the vehicle body. Of course, after the charging seat 2000 is installed by this method, the charging seat positioning tool 1000 also needs to be removed at the end.

[0068] The charging seat installation method of the charging seat positioning tool 1000 disclosed in the present application can adjust the position of the charging seat 2000, so as to ensure that the charging seat 2000 can be centered on the charging port 3100. After the adjustment is completed, the tool body 100 can be directly removed, which ensures that the charging seat 2000 is centered on the charging port 3100 and does not increase the weight of the vehicle as a whole.
