Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a charging port cover, in particular to a charging port cover for a new energy vehicle. Background Art

[0002] For a new energy vehicle, a charging port usually needs to be designed with a charging port cover for decoration and protection of the power interface. The charging port covers in the prior art usually adopt a side - flip or up - flip structure.

[0003] For the charging port cover with a side - flip structure, during charging, the charging port cover opens horizontally around its own axis, and the charging gun can be inserted for charging. After charging, the charging gun is pulled out, and the charging port cover closes horizontally around its own axis. During the charging process, the upper part of the charging gun is an open structure. When charging in an open area without a carport and in rainy weather, rainwater will wet the charging gun. Even if the waterproof level between the charging gun and the charging interface is relatively high, there is still a possibility of water seepage between the charging gun and the charging interface, resulting in electric leakage in case of heavy rain.

[0004] For the charging port cover with an up - flip structure, during charging, the charging port cover flips up around its own axis to open, and the charging gun can be inserted for charging. After charging, the charging gun is pulled out, and the charging port cover closes down around its own axis. During the charging process, although the upper part of the charging gun is blocked by the charging port cover, there is a gap between the charging port cover and the charging port trim panel. When charging in an open area without a carport and in rainy weather, even if the charging port cover can block rainwater, when the rain is heavy, rainwater will leak from the gap between the charging port cover and the charging port trim panel, and there is also a risk of electric leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a charging port cover for a new energy vehicle to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

[0006] The present invention provides a charging port cover for a new energy vehicle, including a charging port trim panel and a charging port cover plate. A charging port is provided on the charging port trim panel. The back of the charging port trim panel has a sealing and limiting plate and mounting seats. The number of the mounting seats is two, and the two mounting seats are respectively located at the upper ends of the left and right sides of the charging port. The charging port cover plate is rotatably connected to the two mounting seats. The sealing and limiting plate is located above the charging port, and a sealing rubber strip is fixedly provided on the charging port cover plate.

[0007] In the above - mentioned charging port cover for a new energy vehicle, preferably, the opposite sides of the two mounting seats have limiting bosses, and a right - angle flanging structure is formed at one end of the charging port cover plate connected to the mounting seat. When the right - angle flanging structure abuts against the limiting bosses, the charging port cover plate is in the maximum opening position.

[0008] In the aforementioned new energy vehicle charging port cover, preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip is "D"-shaped, and the sealing strip is fixedly adhered to the right-angle flanging structure.

[0009] In the aforementioned new energy vehicle charging port cover, preferably, both sides of the charging port cover plate are provided with rotating shafts, and the rotating shafts are hingedly connected to the mounting seats.

[0010] In the aforementioned new energy vehicle charging port cover, preferably, the sealing limit plate is provided with an occlusion part, the occlusion part is parallel to the charging port decorative panel, and the bottom surface of the occlusion part is lower than the top surface of the charging port.

[0011] In the aforementioned new energy vehicle charging port cover, preferably, a water guide groove is fixedly provided on the back surface of the charging port decorative panel. The water guide groove is composed of a horizontal section, a first inclined section, and a second inclined section. One end of the horizontal section is connected to the upper end of the first inclined section, the other end of the horizontal section is connected to the upper end of the second inclined section, and the horizontal section is arranged directly below the occlusion part.

[0012] In the aforementioned new energy vehicle charging port cover, preferably, the first inclined section and the second inclined section are arranged in a "V" shape.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, by arranging a sealing limit plate on the back surface of the charging port decorative panel and a sealing strip on the charging port cover plate in the present invention, when the charging port cover plate is in the open state, the sealing strip and the sealing limit plate are pressed against each other to form a sealing surface, so that rainwater cannot flow onto the charging interface, preventing electric leakage at the position of the charging interface.

[0014] The charging port cover plate of the present invention is an upward-flipping structure, and can also shield rain for the charging gun when the charging port cover plate is in the open state. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Specific embodiments

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention: As Figures 1-7 shown, a charging port cover of a new energy vehicle includes a charging port trim 1 and a charging port cover 2. A charging port 3 is provided on the charging port trim 1. The back of the charging port trim 1 has a sealing and limiting plate 4 and a mounting seat 5. The number of mounting seats 5 is two, and the two mounting seats 5 are respectively located at the upper ends of the left and right sides of the charging port 3. The charging port cover 2 is rotatably connected to the two mounting seats 5. The sealing and limiting plate 4 is located above the charging port 3, and a sealing strip 6 is fixedly provided on the charging port cover 2.

[0025] Specifically, the two mounting seats 5 mainly function to mount the charging port cover 2. The two sides of the charging port cover 2 have rotating shafts 9, and the rotating shafts 9 are hingedly connected to the mounting seats 5. The charging port cover 2 is of an upward-flipping structure. In this way, the charging port cover 2 can shield the charging gun 15 from rain when it is in the fully opened state. In this embodiment, the mounting seats 5 and the charging port trim 1 are integrally injection-molded, and the rotating shafts 9 and the charging port cover 2 are integrally injection-molded.

[0026] By providing the sealing and limiting plate 4 and the sealing strip 6, when the charging port cover 2 is in the fully opened state, the sealing strip 6 and the sealing and limiting plate 4 are pressed to form a sealing surface, which can prevent rainwater from flowing through the gap between the charging port cover 2 and the sealing and limiting plate 4 to the charging interface 16, thereby preventing the occurrence of electric leakage.

[0027] Furthermore, limiting bosses 7 are provided on the opposite sides of the two mounting seats 5. A right-angle flanging structure 8 is formed at one end of the charging port cover 2 connected to the mounting seats 5. When the right-angle flanging structure 8 abuts against the limiting bosses 7, the charging port cover 2 is in the maximum opening position.

[0028] The limiting boss 7 mainly limits the flipping angle of the charging port cover 2. In this embodiment, when the charging port cover 2 is in the maximum open state, the charging port cover 2 is in a horizontal state, and the right-angle flange structure 8 is in a vertical state and abuts against the limiting boss 7. When the charging port cover 2 is fully closed, the sealing strip 6 abuts against the inner wall surface of the upper edge of the charging port 3 to form a seal.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing strip 6 is preferably "D" shaped, and the sealing strip 6 is glued and fixed on the right-angle flange structure 8. The "D" shaped sealing strip 6 is convenient for production and has a good sealing effect. Of course, according to actual needs, a sealing strip with a lip or a sealing strip of other shapes with better sealing on the market can also be used instead.

[0030] Furthermore, the sealing limit plate 4 and the charging port trim 1 are integrally injection molded, and the sealing limit plate 4 consists of a horizontal portion, a transition portion and a shielding portion 10, wherein the shielding portion 10 is parallel to the charging port trim 1, and the bottom surface of the shielding portion 10 is lower than the top surface of the charging port 3.

[0031] The shielding portion 10 is mainly used to cooperate with the sealing strip 6 to prevent rainwater from passing through the gap between the two when the charging port cover 2 is in the open state.

[0032] A water channel 11 is fixedly provided on the back of the charging port trim 1. The water channel 11 is composed of a horizontal section 12, a first inclined section 13 and a second inclined section 14. One end of the horizontal section 12 is connected to the upper end of the first inclined section 13, and the other end of the horizontal section 12 is connected to the upper end of the second inclined section 14. The horizontal section 12 is arranged directly below the shielding portion 10. The first inclined section 13 and the second inclined section 14 are arranged in an "eight" shape.

[0033] When the rainfall is heavy, even if there is rainwater leakage, the rainwater will slide down the shielding portion 10 and fall into the water channel 11, flow to both ends along the horizontal section 12 of the water channel 11, and flow down to both sides along the first inclined section 13 and the second inclined section 14, without dripping onto the charging port 16.

[0034] Working principle of the present invention: When charging is needed, flip the charging port cover 2 upwards, and the maximum open position is reached when the right-angle flange structure 8 on the charging port cover 2 abuts against the limiting boss 7 on the mounting seat 5. At this time, the charging port cover 2 is in a horizontal state, and the sealing strip 6 on the right-angle flange structure 8 and the shielding portion 10 on the sealing limiting plate 4 are squeezed and deformed to prevent rainwater from passing through here. If the surplus is large and a small amount of rainwater leaks, the rainwater will slide down along the shielding portion 10 and fall into the water guide 11, flow to both ends along the horizontal section 12 of the water guide 11, and flow obliquely downward on both sides along the first inclined section 13 and the second inclined section 14, without dripping on the charging port 16.

[0035] When the charging port cover plate 2 is closed, the charging port cover plate 2 completely blocks the charging port 3. At this time, the outer wall surface of the charging port cover plate 2 is flush with the outer wall surface of the charging port trim 1, and the sealing strip 6 is squeezed against the inner wall of the upper edge of the charging port 3 to form a seal.

[0036] The structure, features and effects of the present invention have been described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings. Any changes made according to the concept of the present invention, or equivalent embodiments modified into equivalent changes, still within the spirit covered by the description and the drawings, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
