DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0045] In this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used to distinguish one element from another and do not imply order or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, identical reference numerals in different drawings denote identical or similar elements. The above definitions are intended solely to explain and illustrate this disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the disclosure.

[0046] According to the specific embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 1 to 10As shown in, a safety lock assembly is provided, which includes: a lock body 100; a fixing base 200, a movable gap 230 is formed between the fixing base 200 and the lock body 100, and one of the lock body 100 and the fixing base 200 is provided with a mounting groove 110, and the other of the lock body 100 and the fixing base 200 is provided with a first locking portion 210 and a second locking portion 220, and the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 are spaced apart along the first direction; a locking member 120, the locking member 120 is movably mounted in the mounting groove 110, and when the lock body 100 is moved relative to the fixing base 200 along the first direction under the action of external force, the locking member 120 can be inserted into or out of the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220 to lock the movement of the lock body 100; and a biasing member 130, the biasing member 130 is arranged in the mounting groove 110, and is used to lock the locking member 120 in the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220.

[0047] Through the above technical solution, in the safety lock assembly provided by the present invention, one of the lock body 100 and the fixing seat 200 is provided with a mounting groove 110, and the other is provided with a locking portion, and a locking member 120 that can be inserted into or removed from the locking portion is installed in the mounting groove 110. The locking member 120 is inserted into or removed from the locking portion under the drive of the lock body 100 or the fixing seat 200, so that locking and unlocking between the lock body 100 and the fixing seat 200 can be achieved. When the safety lock assembly provided by the present invention is applied to the technical field of vehicle charging port assembly, the lock body 100 and the fixing base 200 can be fixed to the vehicle body 800 and the charging base 400, respectively. Since the charging port assembly is usually installed inside the vehicle body 800, the user can control the insertion or removal of the lock body 100 relative to the locking portion to achieve locking and unlocking of the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800, thereby achieving control of the position of the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800, and finally achieving control of the position of the charging interface 410 on the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800. The operation is simple and the reliability of use is high.

[0048] It should be noted that in the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the lock body 100 can be provided with a mounting groove 110 and a locking member 120 can be installed in the mounting groove 110, and the fixing seat 200 can be provided with a locking portion. Obviously, the mounting groove 110 can also be provided on the fixing seat 200 and a locking member 120 can be installed, and the lock body 100 can be provided with a locking portion, which can also achieve the above-mentioned technical effects. The present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this. In addition, when the safety lock assembly is applied to the technical field of vehicle charging port assembly, the fixing seat 200 can be installed on either the vehicle body 800 or the charging seat 400, and the lock body 100 can be installed on the other of the charging seat 400 and the vehicle body 800. The present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0049] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the locking portion can be constructed in any suitable form to improve the safety of the safety lock assembly. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in , the locking portion may include a first locking portion 210 and a second locking portion 220, and the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 may be spaced apart along the first direction. In this way, when the locking member 120 moves along the first direction driven by the lock body 100 (i.e., under the action of an external force), the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 can be inserted into or removed from the locking member 210, so that the lock body 100 can switch between three states: in the unlocked state, the locking member 120 extends out of the mounting slot 110 and is pressed against the fixing seat 200 by the action of the biasing member 130, at which time the lock body 100 can move relative to the fixing seat 200; in the first locked state, the lock body 100 moves along the first direction under the action of the first external force (at which time the lock body 100 moves along the first direction). Figure 1 The locking member 120 moves to the first locking portion 210, and the locking member 120 is inserted into the first locking portion 210. At this time, the lock body 100 is fixed to the first locking portion 210 relative to the fixing seat 200; in the second locking state, the lock body 100 moves along the first direction under the action of the second external force (at this time, the lock body 100 moves along Figure 1 The lock body 100 moves in the first direction under the action of the third external force (at this time, the lock body 100 moves in the first direction). Figure 1 The locking member 120 moves toward the second locking portion 220 and is inserted into the second locking portion 220. At this time, the lock body 100 is fixed to the second locking portion 220 relative to the fixing seat 200. When the lock body 100 and the fixing base 200 are fixed to the vehicle body 800 and the charging base 400 respectively, since the charging port assembly is usually installed inside the vehicle body 800, the user can control the lock body 100 to switch between three states to achieve control of the position of the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800, and thereby achieve control of the position of the charging interface 410 on the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800. That is, the lock body 100 can move in a first direction toward the outside of the vehicle body 800 under the action of external force. When the lock body 100 is locked in the first locking part 210, the charging interface 410 is located inside the vehicle body 800. When the lock body 100 disengages from the first locking part 210 and continues to move and is locked in the second locking part 220, the charging interface 410 is completely exposed outside the vehicle body 800 to enable vehicle charging operations. This avoids the abnormal exposure of the charging interface 410 due to user misoperation or poor road conditions, thereby improving the service life of the charging port assembly.

[0050] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the locking member 120 can be locked relative to the lock body 100 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the safety lock assembly includes a biasing member 130, which can be set in the installation groove 110 and is used to lock the locking member 120 in the first locking part 210 or the second locking part 220. The biasing member 130 is used to provide the locking member 120 with a pressure force toward the first locking part 210 or the second locking part 220, so that the locking member 120 remains inserted in the first locking part 210 or the second locking part 220, thereby achieving the locking of the locking member 120 relative to the lock body 100.

[0051] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the locking member 120 can be movably mounted in the mounting slot 110 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the mounting slot 110 can be installed with a connecting seat 111, the locking member 120 is hinged to the connecting seat 111, and the rotation axis of the locking member 120 is perpendicular to the first direction, so that the locking member 120 can rotate around the hinge point with the connecting seat 111, and when the locking member 120 is away from one end of the connecting seat 111 and rotates around the rotation axis and toward the fixed seat 200, the locking member 120 can extend out of the mounting slot 110 to be inserted into the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, and when the locking member 120 is away from one end of the connecting seat 111 and rotates around the rotation axis and away from the fixed seat 200, the locking member 120 can disengage from the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220.

[0052] The locking member 120 can be locked in the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the mounting groove 110 has a bottom groove wall, and the biasing member 130 can be arranged between the bottom groove wall and the locking member 120, and press against the bottom groove wall and the locking member 120 respectively, so as to provide the locking member 120 with a pressure force toward the fixing seat 200, that is, a biasing force, so that the locking member 120 extends out of the mounting groove 110 and remains inserted into the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, and finally realizes the reliable locking of the lock body 100 relative to the fixing seat 200.

[0053] The biasing member 130 may be configured in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations thereto. As an exemplary embodiment, the biasing member 130 may be configured as a torsion spring. When the locking member 120 presses against the fixing base 200 and moves toward the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, the torsion spring is in a compressed state. When the locking member 120 moves to the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, the locking member 120 can remain inserted into the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220 under the action of the torsion spring, thereby achieving a reliable locking position relative to the fixing base 200.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the locking member 120 can also be movably connected to the mounting slot 110 through a driving member. In this case, the driving member can be arranged between the locking member 120 and the lock body 100 to drive the locking member 120 to move in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. That is, during the movement of the lock body 100 along the first direction, the locking member 120 can be inserted into or removed from the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 as needed under the action of the driving member to realize the switching of the lock body 100 between the three states. The driving member can also be constructed in any suitable form, such as a push-pull motor, an electric telescopic rod, and an electric switch, etc., and the present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0055] In addition, in some other possible embodiments, the biasing member 130 is arranged between the slot wall of the mounting slot 110 and the locking member 120. In this case, the biasing member 130 can be constructed as a spring, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slot wall of the mounting slot 110, and the other end is fixedly connected to the locking member 120. When the locking member 120 is subjected to a push force, the locking member 120 can be disengaged from the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220. At this time, the spring is subjected to a compression force. When the lock body 100 moves to the first locking state or the second locking state relative to the fixed seat 200, the locking member 120 pops out from the mounting slot 110 under the action of the elastic force of the spring and is inserted into the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220. At this time, the locking member 120 can be reliably inserted into the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220 under the action of the elastic force of the spring, so as to reliably remain in the first locking state or the second locking state to prevent the lock body 100 from moving relative to the fixed seat 200.

[0056] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the locking member 120 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific limitation on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, the locking member 120 can be constructed as a locking rod, one end of which can be hinged to the connecting seat 111 through a hinge shaft, and the other end of the locking rod can be rotatably connected to a roller 121, and the rotation axis of the roller 121 is parallel to the hinge shaft. Since the locking member 120 will be pressed against the fixing seat 200 during the movement along the first direction toward the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, the provision of the roller 121 can reduce the friction between the locking member 120 and the fixing seat 200, thereby avoiding the locking member 120 from breaking due to the large friction.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the locking member 120 may choose not to be provided with the roller 121, but instead an arc-shaped contact surface may be provided at the end where the locking member 120 and the fixing seat 200 are pressed. This can also achieve the purpose of reducing the friction between the locking member 120 and the fixing seat 200. The present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0058] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in , the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 can be respectively constructed as a card slot, which is recessed from the surface of the lock body 100 or the fixing base 200 away from the installation slot 110, and the card slot can be formed with a guide slope, which is used to guide the locking member 120 to be inserted into or out of the card slot, wherein the guide slope can be set to gradually slope downward from the surface of the fixing base 200 along the first direction, so that when the roller 121 moves along the first direction, it first contacts the top of the guide slope, and then falls into the card slot under the action of the guide slope and abuts against the card slot wall on the side opposite to the guide slope, and is then restricted in the card slot, preventing the lock rod from crossing the card slot due to excessive speed when moving along the first direction, thereby failing to achieve the locking purpose. In addition, when the locking member 120 is driven by the lock body 100 to disengage from the first locking portion 210 or the second locking portion 220, the roller 121 can gradually disengage from the groove under the action of the guide slope, thereby improving the reliability of the roller 121 disengaging from the groove.

[0059] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure has a mounting groove 110 disposed on the lock body 100, and a first locking portion 210 and a second locking portion 220 disposed on the fixing base 200. In embodiments not shown in the present disclosure, the mounting groove 110 may also be disposed on the fixing base 200, and the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 may be disposed on the lock body 100, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0060] In the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure, the lock body 100 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown in FIG, the lock body 100 may include a main body 101 and an operating portion 102. The main body 101 has a first end and a second end facing each other. A mounting groove 110 may be provided near the first end, and the operating portion 102 may be connected to the second end. The mounting groove 110 is provided near the first end so that when the lock body 100 is in the initial position, the locking member 120 is located behind the first locking portion 210 in the first direction. In this way, the locking member 120 can be sequentially locked in the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 under the influence of the lock body 100. In addition, a stepped surface 103 may be formed between the operating portion 102 and the main body 101. When the safety lock assembly provided by the present disclosure is applied in the technical field of charging port assemblies, the lock body 100 is disposed within the seat 420. The provision of the stepped surface 103 can prevent the lock body 100 from falling out of the seat 420 when moving toward the outside of the vehicle body 800, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the lock body 100.

[0061] Among them, the safety lock assembly can also include a reset member 300, which is connected to the lock body 100 and is used to provide an elastic force along the first direction to the lock body 100. That is, when the user applies an external force to the lock body 100 and pushes the lock body 100 toward the position of the reset member 300 to drive the locking member 120 to disengage from the first locking part 210, the user removes the external force, and the lock body 100 can drive the locking member 120 back to its original position under the action of the reset member 300, so as to continue to move and fall into the second locking part 220.

[0062] The reset member 300 can be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this. As an exemplary embodiment, the reset member 300 can be constructed as a spring, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the lock body 100 and the other end fixedly connected to the wall of the mounting slot 110, thereby providing an elastic force along the first direction for the lock body 100. Furthermore, the reset member 300 can also be constructed as an elastic member such as a rubber member, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0063] Based on the above solution, the present disclosure provides a charging port assembly, referring to Figures 2 to 7As shown in FIG, the charging port assembly includes a charging base 400, a drive structure 500, and the aforementioned safety lock assembly. The charging base 400 is provided with a charging interface 410, a lock body 100 is mounted on the charging base 400, and a fixing base 200 is used to be fixed to the vehicle body 800. The drive structure 500 is arranged behind the charging base 400 and is used to push the charging base 400 and the lock body 100 to move in a first direction away from the drive structure 500. In other words, when the charging port assembly provided by the present disclosure is in use, the drive structure 500 can push the charging base 400 and drive the lock body 100 to move in the first direction. In this way, when the charging port assembly provided by the present disclosure is applied to a vehicle, the charging port assembly can be hidden inside the vehicle. When the charging base 400 is pressed by the user, the charging base 400 can contact the drive structure 500 and move toward the outside of the vehicle under the push of the drive structure 500, so that the user can continue to pull the charging base 400, thereby making the charging interface 410 on the charging base 400 completely exposed to the outside of the vehicle. In addition, the driving structure 500 can also be configured to push the charging base 400 toward the outside of the vehicle after receiving a command that the vehicle needs to be charged. When no command that the vehicle needs to be charged is received, the driving structure 500 does not operate and the charging base 400 is securely hidden inside the vehicle.

[0064] In the charging port assembly provided herein, as an exemplary embodiment, the lock body 100 can be mounted on the charging base 400, and the fixing base 200 can be used to fix to the vehicle body 800. In this way, the position of the charging port 410 can be controlled by controlling the position of the charging base 400 relative to the vehicle body 800. When the charging port 410 is fully exposed outside the vehicle body, charging can be performed. In other embodiments, the lock body 100 can also be mounted on the vehicle body 800, and the fixing base 200 can be fixed to the charging base 400, and the above-mentioned effects can also be achieved. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0065] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, the charging interface 410 can be provided on the charging base 400 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the charging seat 400 can be provided with at least one charging interface 410 on at least one side wall in the second direction. In this way, after the charging interface 410 pops out, the vehicle can be charged by inserting a charging gun adapted therewith into the charging interface 410. The charging interface 410 can be set to any suitable number according to actual needs, such as one, two, three or four. On the one hand, after one of the charging interfaces 410 fails, charging can be carried out through other charging interfaces 410 to improve the reliability of vehicle charging. On the other hand, multiple charging interfaces 410 can be set to different types, such as fast charging interfaces and slow charging interfaces, to meet the different charging needs of users.

[0066] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, the charging seat 400 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figures 4 to 7 As shown in, the charging base 400 may include a base body 420 and an end cover plate 430, and the base body 420 may be formed with: an operating groove 421, the operating groove 421 is recessed from the bottom surface of the base body 420 away from the fixed base 200, and the operating groove 421 passes through the side end surface of the base body 420 in the first direction; a receiving groove, the receiving groove is recessed from the bottom surface of the base body 420 away from the fixed base 200 and extends along the first direction; and a connecting groove, the connecting groove connects the operating groove 421 and the receiving groove, and an abutment surface is formed between the connecting groove and the receiving groove; the end cover plate 430 can be connected to the base body 420 and cover the operating groove 421, the lock body 100 includes a connected main body 101 and an operating part 102, a step surface 103 is formed between the main body 101 and the operating part 102, the main body 101 is accommodated in the receiving groove and the operating part 102 extends into the operating groove 421 through the connecting groove portion, and the step surface 103 stops at the abutment surface.

[0067] Among them, the setting of the operating groove 421 is used on the one hand to provide a gripping space for the user to pull out the charging base 400, and on the other hand to provide an operating space 441 for the user to push the lock rod to move relative to the charging base 400. That is to say, after the charging base 400 falls into the first locking part 210 under the action of the driving structure 500, it is necessary to push the lock body 100 to move along the first direction relative to the charging base 400 to unlock it, and at the same time, it is necessary to pull the charging base 400 to move along the first direction. When the end cover plate 430 covers the operating groove 421, the user can manually reach into the operating groove 421 to grasp the end cover plate 430, and at the same time press the operating part 102 of the lock body 100 to achieve the above purpose. In addition, the setting of the accommodating groove is used to provide an installation space for the lock body 100, and the lock body 100 can be inserted into the accommodating groove to achieve a movable connection with the charging base 400; the setting of the connecting groove can enable the operating part 102 of the lock body 100 to extend out of the accommodating groove to the operating groove 421, so that the user can push the lock body 100 to move; the setting of the abutment surface can contact with the step surface 103 to prevent the lock rod from falling out of the accommodating groove, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the lock rod relative to the charging base 400.

[0068] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, an active gap 230 can be formed between the fixing base 200 and the lock body 100, and the base body 420 can further include an actuating flange 422, which is connected to the groove wall of the accommodating groove and extends along the first direction. The actuating flange 422 is located in the active gap 230 and is used to actuate the locking member 120 to disengage from the first locking portion 210. Specifically, when the locking member 120 needs to disengage from the first locking portion 210, an external force is applied to the operating portion 102 of the lock body 100 to push the lock body 100 to move relative to the charging base 400 in the first direction, and the lock body 100 drives the locking member 120 to disengage from the first locking portion 210. The locking member 120 is pressed against the surface of the fixing seat 200 under the action of the biasing member 130, and the lock body 100 is continued to be pushed until the locking member 120 is in contact with the actuating flange 422. The locking member 120 compresses the biasing member 130 under the action of the external force and the actuating flange 422 and moves toward the mounting groove 110. At this time, the locking member 120 is lifted and does not contact the surface of the fixing seat 200, and then the charging seat 400 is pulled toward the outside of the vehicle body. In this way, the locking member 120 can be driven by the charging seat 400 to cross the first locking portion 210 and move toward the second locking portion 220, thereby realizing the locking of the charging seat 400 at different positions.

[0069] In which, the safety lock assembly may include a reset member 300, which is arranged in the accommodating groove, and one end of the reset member 300 is connected to the lock body 100 and the other end is connected to the groove wall of the accommodating groove. In this way, after the locking member 120 passes over the first locking portion 210, the external force applied to the lock body 100 is removed, and the lock body 100 can drive the locking member 120 away from the actuating flange 422 under the action of the reset member 300, and continue to press against the surface of the fixing base 200 under the action of the biasing member 130, so that it can smoothly fall into the second locking portion 220, thereby realizing the locking of the charging base 400 on the second locking portion 220.

[0070] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in , the charging port assembly may also include a handle plate 440, which is connected to the base body 420 and accommodated in the operating groove 421. An operating space 441 is formed between the handle plate 440 and the end of the lock body 100 to facilitate the user to manually pull the charging base 400 to move.

[0071] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, the charging seat 400 can be movably connected to the vehicle body 800 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 7As shown in , the charging port assembly may include a mounting plate 610 and a slide rail assembly 700, the slide rail assembly 700 includes a sliding seat and a slide rail that are slidably connected, the charging seat 400 is installed on the slide rail, the fixed seat 200 and the slide seat are fixed on the mounting plate 610, so as to be fixed to the vehicle body 800 through the mounting plate 610, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the charging seat 400 and the vehicle body 800, and being able to lock the charging seat 400 in a position where the charging seat 400 is completely located inside the vehicle body 800.

[0072] In the charging port assembly provided in the present disclosure, the driving structure 500 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 7 As shown in , the driving structure 500 can be configured as a trigger, which is arranged on the slide and is used to contact the slide rail to provide a force for the charging base 400 to move toward the first locking portion 210. In actual use, by applying an external force to the charging base 400 so that the charging base 400 compresses the trigger, after the external force is removed, the charging base 400 can be ejected under the action of the trigger and move until the locking member 120 falls into the first locking portion 210. In the present disclosure, the trigger can be any existing component that can achieve ejection, and the present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this. In addition, since the present disclosure does not involve improvements in the principle and structure of the trigger, it will not be described here.

[0073] Based on the above scheme, refer to Figures 8 to 10 As shown in , the present disclosure provides a vehicle, including a body 800, and the vehicle also includes the above-mentioned charging port assembly. The body 800 is formed with a accommodating cavity 810 and is provided with an opening. The charging port assembly is installed in the accommodating cavity 810 through the opening. The charging port assembly has all the technical features of the above-mentioned charging port assembly, so they are not repeated here.

[0074] The charging port assembly includes a charging base 400 and a safety lock assembly. The charging base 400 is provided with a charging interface 410. The charging base 400 can have a first position, a second position and a third position. In the first position (refer to Figure 8 ), the charging interface 410 is located in the accommodating cavity 810; in the second position (refer to Figure 9 ), the charging base 400 partially extends out of the accommodating cavity 810 through the opening, the charging interface 410 is located in the accommodating cavity 810, and the safety lock assembly locks the charging base 400 in the second position; in the third position (refer to Figure 10), the charging interface 410 is exposed outside the accommodating cavity 810, and the safety lock assembly locks the charging base 400 in the third position. That is to say, the charging base 400 can switch between the first position, the second position and the third position relative to the vehicle body 800 under the action of the safety lock assembly, thereby realizing the switching of the charging interface 410 relative to the vehicle body 800 between the first position, the second position and the third position. When the charging base 400 is in the third position, the charging interface 410 is exposed outside the accommodating cavity 810 to enable vehicle charging operations. Before the charging base 400 reaches the third position, it needs to pass through the first position and the second position in sequence, and when the charging base 400 passes through the second position, the safety lock assembly can lock the charging base 400 in the second position. Only after being unlocked can the charging base 400 move to the third position and be locked by the safety lock assembly. In this way, the abnormal exposure of the charging interface 410 due to user misoperation or poor road conditions can be avoided.

[0075] In the initial state, the locking member 120 is located at the rear side of the first locking portion 210 in the first direction and is pressed against the surface of the fixing seat 200 under the action of the biasing member 130 (refer to FIG. Figure 2 ); When the user presses the charging base 400 to move the charging base 400 in the first direction until it contacts the driving structure 500 configured as a push button, when the user removes the force, the charging base 400 moves in the first direction under the action of the push button until the locking member 120 falls into the first locking portion 210. At this time, the charging base 400 is locked in the position of the first locking portion 210 (refer to Figure 5 ); by applying a pressing force to the operating portion 102, the lock body 100 overcomes the elastic force of the reset member 300 and moves, so that the locking member 120 moves relative to the charging base 400 to disengage the first locking portion 210, so that the charging base 400 is unlocked from the first locking portion 210; by the actuating flange 422 provided on the charging base 400, the locking member 120 is lifted to a state where it is not in contact with the surface of the fixing base 200 and is maintained in this state, at which time the biasing member 130 is compressed, and by applying a pulling force to the charging base 400 to pull the charging base 400 to continue to move in the first direction, The locking member 120 is driven to pass over the first locking portion 210, and the pulling force applied to the operating portion 102 is removed. The lock body 100 drives the locking member 120 to move to the original position under the action of the reset member 300. At this time, the locking member 120 is located between the first locking portion 210 and the second locking portion 220 and continues to press against the surface of the fixing base 200 under the action of the biasing member 130; the charging base 400 is continued to be pulled along the first direction until the locking member 120 falls into the second locking portion 220. At this time, the charging base 400 is locked in the position of the second locking portion 220 (refer to Figure 6), which is the position required for vehicle charging, and the position where the charging interface 410 is completely exposed outside the vehicle body 800; after charging is completed, a thrust is applied to move the charging seat 400 toward the accommodating cavity 810 inside the vehicle, and the locking member 120 can compress the biasing member 130 under the guidance of the guiding slope to sequentially disengage the second locking portion 220 and the first locking portion 210, thereby finally realizing the retraction of the charging seat 400.
