As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0036] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0037] Combination Figure 1-7 , an embodiment of the utility model provides a charging port assembly.

[0038] See also Figure 1-4 The charging port assembly includes: a side outer panel 1, a wheel housing sealing plate 2, a charging port cover body 3, a mounting bracket and a charging seat assembly; the side outer panel 1 is provided with a mounting port 11; the wheel housing sealing plate 2 is arranged on the inner side of the side outer panel 1 and is arranged along the outer peripheral sealing edge of the mounting port 11; the charging port cover body 3 is installed on the mounting port 11, and the charging port cover body 3 includes a charging port door 32, and the charging port door 32 is provided with a rotating part 321 and the door is opened and closed by rotating the rotating part 321; the mounting bracket is installed on the wheel housing sealing plate 2 and is located on the side of the mounting port 11, and the mounting bracket avoids the rotating part 321 in the depth direction of the charging port (the depth direction of the charging port is different for different models, but basically it is roughly the same as the width direction of the vehicle); the charging seat assembly is installed on the mounting bracket, and the charging seat assembly corresponds to the charging port cover body 3 and avoids the rotating part 321 in the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0039] In this embodiment, an installation opening 11 which is adapted to the shape of the charging port cover body 3 is opened on the side outer panel 1 for the charging port cover body 3 to be installed. The wheel arch cover plate 2 can be sealed and connected to the side outer panel 1 to seal the edge of the side outer panel 1. An opening of the same shape is set on the wheel arch cover plate 2 at the position corresponding to the installation opening 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotating portion 321 can be a gooseneck structure, and the rotating portion 321 usually protrudes from the outside of the charging port cover body 3; when the charging port cover body 3 is installed on the mounting port 11, the rotating portion 321 is usually first inserted into the mounting port 11 from the side, and then the charging port cover body 3 is completely embedded in the mounting port 11. Therefore, it is necessary to reserve an accommodating space for the rotating portion 321 on the inner side of the wheel arch cover plate 2 near the mounting port 11; and when the charging port door 32 on the charging port cover body 3 is rotated to open or close, the rotating portion 321 rotates on the inner side of the wheel arch cover plate 2; therefore, the reserved accommodating space must also be able to meet the movement requirements of the rotating portion 321.

[0041] Based on this, on the one hand, the present embodiment improves the structure of the mounting bracket so that the mounting bracket can avoid the rotating part 321 in the depth direction of the charging port. When the charging port cover body 3 is installed in the mounting port 11, the rotating part 321 can avoid the mounting bracket after entering the inner side of the mounting port 11, and when the charging port cover body 3 is opened and closed, the rotating part 321 does not interfere with the mounting bracket. On the other hand, the present embodiment installs the charging seat assembly on the side of the mounting bracket away from the charging port cover body 3, and the position of the charging seat assembly avoids the rotating part 321 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and the charging seat assembly does not need to be set deeper in the depth direction of the charging port. Therefore, the present embodiment achieves a small-size design of the charging port while avoiding the problem of the deep position of the charging seat assembly, that is, it will not affect the performance of the vehicle shape, nor will it cause inconvenience in charging.

[0042] In a preferred improvement scheme of an installation bracket, the installation bracket may include a first bracket 4 and a second bracket 5 which are separately arranged; the first bracket 4 is installed on the wheel arch cover plate 2 and is located on the upper side of the installation opening 11; the second bracket 5 is installed on the wheel arch cover plate 2 and is located on the lower side of the installation opening 11; the rotational motion trajectory of the rotating part 321 is located between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5.

[0043] In this preferred improved scheme, the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 can both be set as a strip-shaped bent plate structure, and the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 can be fixed to the wheel house cover plate 2 by screw connection or welding, and the fixed first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the mounting opening 11 in the vehicle height direction; in this way, the space between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 forms a accommodating space; it should be understood that after the charging port cover body 3 is installed on the mounting opening 11, the rotating part 321 is located between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5, and when the charging port door 32 is rotated to close or open, the rotation trajectory of the rotating part 321 is located in the accommodating space between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5, and is located on one side of the mounting opening 11 in the vehicle length direction (refer to Figure 2 shown).

[0044] In this preferred improvement, the space between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 can also be used to avoid other circuit structures and circuit routing on the charging port cover body 3.

[0045] Combination Figure 7 In one embodiment, the charging port cover body 3 also includes a charging port box body 31, which is installed on the mounting port 11, and the side of the charging port box body 31 facing the depth direction of the charging port is located between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5; the rotating portion 321 on the charging port door 32 is rotatably connected to the side of the charging port box body 31 facing the depth direction of the charging port, and the charging port door 32 covers the side of the charging port box body 31 away from the depth direction of the charging port.

[0046] In this embodiment, the charging port box body 31 can be a hollow annular box structure, the shape of the mounting port 11 is adapted to the shape of the charging port box body 31, the charging port box body 31 is installed in the mounting port 11 from the outside of the mounting port 11, and a clamping structure can be provided in the mounting port 11 to clamp and fix the outside of the charging port box body 31 to ensure the stability of the installation. The edge of the charging port box body 31 on one side facing the depth direction of the charging port is protruded toward the outer side of the annular direction for the rotating part 321 of the charging port door 32 to be rotatably connected, and the charging port door 32 covers the side of the charging port box body 31 away from the depth direction of the charging port, so that the charging port door 32 can be rotated to open and close the door through the rotating part 321.

[0047] In one embodiment, the charging seat assembly includes: a charging seat bracket 6 and a charging seat 7; the upper and lower sides of the charging seat bracket 6 are respectively installed on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5; the charging seat 7 is installed on the charging seat bracket 6 and corresponds to the charging port cover body 3; wherein the charging seat bracket 6 avoids the rotating part 321 in the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0048] In this embodiment, the charging seat bracket 6 is a thin plate-shaped structure, and the upper and lower sides of the charging seat bracket 6 are respectively installed on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5. The size of the charging seat bracket 6 in the length direction of the vehicle body is smaller than the size of the mounting opening 11 in the length direction of the vehicle body (refer to Figure 4 ), by reducing the size of the charging stand bracket 6 in the length direction of the vehicle body as much as possible, the charging stand bracket 6 can avoid the movement trajectory of the rotating part 321 in the length direction of the vehicle body, thereby avoiding structural interference between the charging stand bracket 6 and the rotating part 321 when the rotating part 321 rotates.

[0049] In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning pins may be provided on the charging seat 7, and a plurality of corresponding pin holes may be provided on the charging seat bracket 6. The charging seat 7 is inserted into the plurality of pin holes through the plurality of positioning pins, and the charging seat 7 may be tightened from the outside by bolts, so that the charging seat 7 can be fixed on the charging seat bracket 6. The charging seat 7 corresponds to the charging port cover body 3, so that charging can be performed after the charging port cover body 3 is opened.

[0050] In one embodiment, at least one mounting column may be provided on each of the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5; the mounting column is arranged to be inclined downward in the vehicle width direction, and the charging seat bracket 6 is installed on the mounting column to be inclined upward in the vehicle width direction.

[0051] In this embodiment, the charging seat bracket 6 is installed on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5. Due to the limitation of the processing space, it is usually necessary to install the charging seat bracket 6 on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 in an inclined upward direction in the vehicle width direction; therefore, mounting columns (that is, the first mounting column 41 and the second mounting column 51) are arranged on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5. Specifically, two mounting columns inclined downward in the vehicle width direction can be arranged on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5, that is, four mounting columns are arranged and can be distributed in the four corners; correspondingly, four mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the four mounting columns are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the charging seat bracket 6; based on this, the charging seat bracket 6 is installed in an inclined upward direction in the vehicle width direction, so that the four mounting columns and the four mounting holes are matched and connected to achieve fixation.

[0052] Furthermore, because the charging seat bracket 6 is installed upwardly and tilted in the vehicle width direction, in the actual operation process, after the mounting hole of the charging seat bracket 6 and the mounting column are preliminarily matched and positioned, it is necessary to hold the charging seat bracket 6 to prevent the charging seat bracket 6 from tilting and sliding, and then continue to fix the mounting hole and the mounting column, which makes the operation of the installation process not convenient enough. Therefore, in this embodiment, at least one protrusion 52 (preferably two) is provided on the second bracket 5, and at least one corresponding positioning hole is provided on the charging seat bracket 6. The charging seat bracket 6 is pre-hung on the protrusion 52 through the positioning hole, which can prevent the charging seat bracket 6 from sliding due to gravity; at least one protrusion can also be provided on the charging seat bracket 6, and at least one positioning hole is correspondingly provided on the second bracket 5, and the protrusion corresponds to the positioning hole one by one. In this way, after the mounting hole of the charging seat bracket 6 and the mounting column are preliminarily matched and positioned, the matching protrusion 52 and the positioning hole can ensure that the charging seat bracket 6 will not slide, that is, the charging seat bracket 6 can be fixed without holding it, which improves the convenience of operation for the operator.

[0053] In one embodiment, the charging seat bracket 6 includes charging seat brackets 6 of multiple different specifications; the charging seat brackets 6 of multiple different specifications are all provided with mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the mounting columns; the charging seat brackets 6 of different specifications are provided with bracket openings for adapting to charging seats 7 of different specifications.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to be compatible with a variety of charging seat assemblies of different specifications, the charging seat bracket 6 of each charging seat assembly only needs to open the installation holes according to the positions of the installation columns on the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5, that is, the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 of this embodiment can be compatible with a variety of charging seat brackets 6 of different specifications for installation; and the charging seat brackets 6 of different specifications are provided with bracket openings for adapting to charging seats 7 of different specifications, so as to adapt to charging seats 7 of different specifications. Based on this, the present application uses the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 as the installation parts of the charging seat assembly, which can be compatible with a variety of charging seat assemblies of different specifications for installation.

[0055] Furthermore, the charging port cover body 3 further includes a cover plate 33; the cover plate 33 is clamped in the charging port box body 31, and the outer edge of the cover plate 33 may be provided with multiple buckles, and the charging port box body 31 may be provided with multiple bayonet holes, and the cover plate 33 is clamped in the multiple bayonet holes on the charging port box body 31 through the multiple buckles to achieve installation. It should be understood that the specifications of the cover plate 33 can be selected according to the shape of the bracket opening of the charging seat bracket 6, that is, the cover opening on the cover plate 33 and the bracket opening are adapted.

[0056] Based on this, the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5 of the present application can be adapted to a variety of charging seat assemblies of different specifications. At the same time, the cover plate 33 can also be selected according to the specifications of the charging seat bracket 6, and the differentiation of small parts is used to achieve solution sharing, which effectively saves costs. Figure 5and Figure 6 The structures of Group A and Group B are shown.

[0057] It should be noted that the charging port assembly of the present application is based on an example of being arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. In different vehicle models, the charging port assembly may be located on the front or rear side of the vehicle body. In this case, those skilled in the art can adaptively adjust the vehicle body direction based on which the charging port assembly is installed based on the above embodiment.

[0058] An embodiment of the utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the above charging port assembly.

[0059] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
