Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of vehicle charging sockets, and in particular relates to a display component, a socket component and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] During the charging process of new energy vehicles, charging indicators are typically installed on the vehicle's charging socket to provide users with timely and convenient information about the charging status. However, this method only conveys limited information, has a limited interaction method, and provides a poor user experience.

[0003] An existing Chinese utility model patent, authorized with publication number CN201975843U, discloses an electric vehicle charging socket with a charging status display. The socket features five display screens adjacent to the charging port, each capable of displaying charging status and fault information. The individual display screens on the charging socket are separated from one another, and the color of the charging socket panel differs significantly from that of the display screens. This creates a cluttered display interface, hindering users' ability to quickly access critical charging information and resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, the separation of the multiple display screens fragments the display, diminishing the overall aesthetics.

[0004] The existing Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216436318U discloses a charging socket assembly with a 360-degree circular display screen on the socket panel of the charging socket assembly. The center of the display screen has a rectangular avoidance hole for avoiding the socket. The circular display screen in this charging socket assembly can more fully utilize the space on the socket panel, making the display area larger and capable of displaying more information. At the same time, the display interface is relatively simple, helping users to quickly pay attention to charging information. However, this large-sized and specially structured display screen requires customization and development of corresponding drivers, which is costly. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the examples.

[0039] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the basic concept of the present invention is to use a dark, light-transmitting cover plate to cover the front of the display screen to make the display interface simpler while reducing costs.

[0040] Embodiment 1 of the socket assembly provided by the present invention: The socket assembly is an AC / DC integrated structure. Figure 1 , including a socket panel 1, a DC tail cover 2, an AC tail cover 3 and a display component.

[0041] See attached Figure 2 The front of the socket panel 1 has a DC charging interface 11 and an AC charging interface 12. The DC tail cover 2 is installed at the position corresponding to the DC charging interface 11 on the back of the socket panel 1, and the AC tail cover 3 is installed at the position corresponding to the AC charging interface 12 on the back of the socket panel 1. A lock gun groove structure 13 for cooperating with the lock gun structure on the charging gun is correspondingly provided above the DC charging interface 11 and the AC charging interface 12. The lock gun groove structure 13 protrudes from the front face of the socket panel 1.

[0042] See attached Figure 3 Combined with the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The display assembly includes a base 4, a display screen 5, a cover plate 6 and a control circuit board 7.

[0043] The base 4 serves as the foundation for the display screen 5, cover plate 6, and control circuit board 7. These components are assembled onto the base 4 to form a display assembly, which is then integrally mounted to the front of the socket panel 1. The display screen 5 is embedded in the front of the base 4, while the cover plate 6 and control circuit board 7 are fixedly mounted to the front and back of the base 4, respectively.

[0044] The cover plate 6 is a single dark, light-transmitting plate, specifically a plastic plate or a glass plate. The shape of the cover plate 6 matches the shape of the front surface of the base 4, and can cover and shield the front surface of the base 4 and the display screen 5 mounted thereon, so that the front surface of the display assembly forms a unified appearance. In this embodiment, the entire cover plate 6 is a dark, light-transmitting portion.

[0045] When the display screen 5 is in the off state, the front of the display assembly is a single dark panel that is simple and aesthetically pleasing. When the display screen 5 is in the display state, the display screen 5 emits light and displays patterns and characters. Only the patterns and characters can be displayed from the front of the display assembly through the cover plate 6. The user can visually experience an effect similar to that of a full screen covering the front of the substrate 4. This makes the display panel on the front of the display assembly relatively simple, allowing the user to notice charging information more quickly and efficiently, improving the user experience, and making the display effect of the display assembly more aesthetically pleasing. When the display screen 5 is in the display state, the area on the cover plate 6 that displays patterns and characters is the information display area 61 shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Multiple display screens 5 can be provided based on information display requirements. Multiple display screens 5 can be provided at any location on the front of the base 4 that is covered by the cover plate 6. Multiple display screens 5 can display different information in different zones, increasing information diversity and making it easier to personalize the display of charging information, enhancing visual impact and enriching the user experience. Some display screens 5 can display only patterns, while others can display only characters. Display screens 5 with different display contents can also be arranged as needed so that patterns and characters correspond to each other. This can reduce the design cost of the display interface of the display screen 5.

[0047] In addition, the display screen 5 can be a touch screen, and the user can directly perform setting operations such as one-click charging stop and scheduled charging on the display screen, thereby improving the user's interactive experience.

[0048] Because each display screen 5 is covered by a dark, light-transmitting cover plate 6, the user can observe the display effect of a single large screen from the front of the display assembly. However, compared to a single large screen, the combination of separate small screens can effectively reduce the cost of the display assembly. Moreover, each display screen 5 can be a square or rectangular finished display screen 5, further reducing the cost of the display assembly.

[0049] The front of the display screen 5 and the back of the cover plate 6 are arranged in close contact, thereby ensuring that the patterns and characters on the display screen 5 can be clearly displayed. To achieve this purpose, the display screen 5 can be first tightly bonded to the back of the cover plate 6, and then the cover plate 6 is fixed to the base 4. When bonding and fixing the display screen 5, it is important to ensure that the bonding position corresponds to the receiving groove 43 on the base 4 for accommodating the display screen 5. Alternatively, the display screen 5 can be first fixed in the receiving groove 43, and then the cover plate 6 is fixed to the front of the base 4. The back of the display screen 5 and the bottom of the receiving groove 43 are fixed by gluing, specifically, glue, to prevent the display screen 5 from being compressed and ensure the long-term stable operation of the display screen 5. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the back of the display screen 5 and the bottom of the receiving groove 43 can also be bonded by sponge double-sided tape. The sponge double-sided tape has the ability to elastically deform. After the cover plate 6 is installed in place, the sponge double-sided tape can be elastically compressed, thereby making the front of the display screen 5 tightly attached to the back of the cover plate 6.

[0050] The front side of the substrate 4 is dark in color. When the display screen 5 is illuminated, the dark substrate 4 can absorb scattered light from around the display screen 5, thus preventing the occurrence of color bleeding. In addition to setting the substrate 4 itself to a dark color, a light-absorbing layer can also be provided on the front side of the substrate 4 to achieve the purpose of light absorption.

[0051] In this embodiment, the base 4 and the cover 6 are preferably black, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides better shielding effects of the cover 6 and light absorption effects of the base 4. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the base 4 and the cover 6 may also be dark colors such as tan or dark gray.

[0052] The display component is provided with two sets of avoidance channels that pass through the cover plate 6, the base 4 and the control circuit board 7 from front to back. The two sets of avoidance channels correspond to the DC charging interface 11 and the AC charging interface 12 on the socket panel 1 and are used to avoid the DC charging gun and the AC charging gun respectively.

[0053] Each set of avoidance channels includes a plug avoidance channel 9 and a lock gun avoidance channel 8. The lock gun avoidance channel 8 is located above the plug avoidance channel 9. During use, the plug of the charging gun passes through the plug avoidance channel 9 and is inserted into the corresponding charging interface, and the lock gun structure on the charging gun penetrates into the lock gun avoidance channel 8 and locks with the lock gun groove structure 13.

[0054] The gun lock groove structure 13 is located between the gun lock avoidance channel 8 and the plug avoidance channel 9, see the attached Figure 4 The gun-lock avoidance passage 8 and the plug-lock avoidance passage 9 on the base body 4 and the control circuit board 7 are vertically connected through an opening. The gun-lock recess structure 13 is located at the opening connecting the gun-lock avoidance passage 8 and the plug-lock avoidance passage 9. The space on the base body 4 for accommodating the gun-lock recess structure 13 is an accommodating space 41. The upper surface of the gun-lock recess structure 13 is flush with the lower wall of the gun-lock avoidance passage 8, and the lower surface of the gun-lock recess structure 13 is flush with the upper wall of the plug-lock avoidance passage 9, to ensure a compact structure.

[0055] After the display assembly is mounted on the socket panel 1, the positive end surface of the locking gun groove structure 13 is flush with the front surface of the base 4. Figure 5 The lock gun avoidance channel 8 and the plug avoidance channel 9 on the cover plate 6 are not connected to each other. The portion of the cover plate 6 located between the lock gun avoidance channel 8 and the plug avoidance channel 9 and separating the lock gun avoidance channel 8 from the plug avoidance channel 9 is a shielding portion 63. The shielding portion 63 covers and blocks the lock gun groove structure 13 from the front, thereby preventing the lock gun groove structure 13 from being exposed, further improving the integrity of the front appearance of the display component.

[0056] The cover plate 6 is attached to the front of the base 4 by gluing. The adhesive 10 is positioned along the edges of the cover plate 6 and the edges of the plug escape channel 9 and the gun lock escape channel 8, thereby achieving a certain sealing effect. Positioning flanges 42 are provided along the four edges of the front of the base 4. The inner contour of the positioning flange 42 matches the edge contour of the cover plate 6, thereby positioning the cover plate 6 during installation. The height of the positioning flange 42 is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the cover plate 6 and the adhesive 10. After installation, the front of the cover plate 6 is flush with the positive end face of the flange 42, improving its aesthetics. The flange 42 also protects the edge of the cover plate 6, preventing it from being knocked and cracked.

[0057] The base 4 is provided with a cable hole 44 for routing the display screen 5's cables to the back side of the base 4. The cable hole 44 is specifically located at the bottom of the receiving groove 43. A corresponding position on the control circuit board 7 is also provided with a cable hole 71 for the cable to pass through. The end of the cable passes through the cable hole 71 and reaches the back side of the control circuit board 7, where it is connected to the back side of the control circuit board 7 via a connector. Since the front side of the control circuit board 7 needs to be in contact with the base 4, most of the electronic components on the control circuit board 7 are mounted on its back side. This arrangement not only facilitates the fixed installation of the control circuit board 7, but also makes it easy to connect the display screen 5's cables after the control circuit board 7 is fixed.

[0058] See attached Figure 4 , vertical edges 46 are provided on the edges of the back side of the base 4 and the edges of the gun lock avoidance channel 8, the accommodating space 41, and the plug avoidance channel 9 on the base 4, so that the base 4 forms a thin shell structure with an open rear end, and the shape of the control circuit board 7 is consistent with the opening area surrounded by the above-mentioned vertical edges 46. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control circuit board 7 also constitutes a sealing plate for closing the opening area. During the assembly process, after the control circuit board 7 is installed in the opening area, glue is poured into the base 4, so that the control circuit board 7 can be fixedly connected to the base 4, and the sealing between the control circuit board 7 and the vertical edge 46 and the sealing of the openings on the control circuit board 7 can be achieved.

[0059] See attached Figure 4 The back of the base 4 is provided with a plurality of fixing posts 45. The control circuit board 7 is provided with avoidance through-holes 72 for avoiding the fixing posts 45. The end faces of the fixing posts 45 are provided with threaded holes. The fixing posts 45 are used to fix the display assembly to the socket panel 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the fixing posts 45 constitute a mounting structure. Figure 2The socket panel 1 is provided with mounting holes 14 corresponding to the fixing columns 45 for the bolts to pass through. The bolts pass through the mounting holes 14 from the back of the socket panel 1 and are then installed into the threaded holes on the fixing columns 45. Installing the bolts from the back of the socket panel 1 can ensure the integrity of the front of the display assembly. The fixing columns 45 not only connect the display assembly and the socket panel 1, but also maintain the distance between the display assembly and the socket panel 1. In order to facilitate installation, a countersunk groove 15 can be provided at the mounting hole 14 on the socket panel 1. During assembly, the fixing column 45 is first inserted into the countersunk groove 15 so that the threaded hole on the fixing column 45 is aligned with the mounting hole 14, which facilitates the installation of the bolts.

[0060] A communication line 73 is provided on the control circuit board 7 , and a through hole 16 for the communication line 73 to pass through is provided on the socket panel 1 . After the communication line 73 passes through the through hole 16 , it is connected to the vehicle controller inside the vehicle for communication.

[0061] An interface indicator light is provided on the front of the base 4, surrounding the plug clearance channel 9. This indicator light indicates the location of the charging port in low light conditions, facilitating user operation. The charging indicator light comprises multiple lamp beads arranged along the contour of the plug clearance channel 9 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 7. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the charging indicator light can also be a curved light strip, which is more aesthetically pleasing and simplifies wiring to the control circuit board 7.

[0062] See attached Figure 3 The interface indicator light is also covered by the cover 6 from the front. When charging is needed, for example, after the charging cover of the vehicle is opened, the interface indicator light lights up. The area on the cover 6 where the interface indicator light can be displayed is the interface indication display area 62.

[0063] Embodiment 2 of the socket assembly provided by the present invention: See attached Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7 , Attachment Figure 8 , Attachment Figure 9 and attached Figure 10 The socket assembly only has a DC charging interface 11, so it only has one set of avoidance channels, see the attached Figure 8 In this embodiment, six display screens 5 are provided. All six display screens 5 are rectangular finished display screens 5 and are arranged around the plug avoidance channel 9 and the gun lock avoidance channel 8 on the base 4. The remaining structure of the socket assembly in this embodiment is similar to that of the socket assembly embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0064] Embodiment 3 of the socket assembly provided by the present invention: This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, and differs from embodiment 1 in that, in this embodiment, the cover plate includes a dark light-transmitting area and a dark light-opaque area with the same color on the front side. The dark light-transmitting area corresponds to the display screen, and the range of the dark light-transmitting area is the same as the display range of the display screen. In this embodiment, the dark light-transmitting area constitutes a dark light-transmitting part.

[0065] The cover plate in this embodiment can be processed in two ways. In one embodiment, the cover plate is made of a transparent glass plate with black ink sprayed on the back. The ink sprayed on the dark light-transmitting area is light-transmitting ink, ensuring that the content to be displayed can be displayed through the cover plate, while the ink sprayed on the dark opaque area is opaque ink, preventing lateral light leakage from the display screen and affecting normal display.

[0066] In another embodiment, the cover plate can also be made by combining an opaque dark plastic plate and a translucent dark plastic plate, with the translucent dark plastic plate being inlaid on the opaque dark plastic plate, and ensuring that the front colors of the opaque dark plastic plate and the translucent dark plastic plate are consistent. The opaque dark plastic plate forms a dark opaque area, and the translucent dark plastic plate forms a dark translucent area, thereby also achieving the display effect of the previous embodiment.

[0067] Embodiment 4 of the socket assembly provided by the present invention: This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, and differs from embodiment 1 in that an interface indicator light is not provided in this embodiment, and an indicator or lighting light may be provided elsewhere to indicate the location of the charging interface to the user in dark conditions.
