[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In order to facilitate understanding of the charging port protection device and vehicle provided by the utility model, its application background is first explained. The charging system with a charging port is an indispensable structure on energy vehicles. With the continuous improvement of automobile safety requirements, a protective cover is generally set at the position of the vehicle charging port to prevent the intrusion of rainwater.

[0029] In the related art, the protective cover generally includes a box body and a cover body; the box body is provided with an opening corresponding to the position of the charging port; the cover body is hinged on the box body for opening or closing the opening, and the cover body and the box body are crimped to achieve sealing.

[0030] Although the sealing cover of the above structure can play a certain waterproof role, the sealing effect is limited. When it rains or when washing the car, water will still penetrate from the matching point between the cover body and the box body, and the protective effect is difficult to guarantee.

[0031] Based on the above problems, the utility model provides a charging port protection device and a vehicle, which have the advantage of better protection effect.

[0032] Combine the following Figures 1 to 3 The utility model describes a charging port protection device and a vehicle.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A charging port protection device comprises a box body 1, a protective door 2 and a stopper 3; wherein the box body 1 has an inner cavity for accommodating the charging port, and an opening 10 and a door frame surrounding the outside of the opening 10 are provided on the box body 1, and the opening 10 corresponds to the position of the charging port, so that the staff can connect the charging connector with the charging port through the opening 10 on the box body 1; one side of the protective door 2 is hinged to the box body 1, and the other side opposite to it can rotate around the hinge axis to close or open the opening 10, when the opening 10 is closed, the protective door 2 is crimped with the door frame to achieve sealing; the stopper 3 is arranged around the inner side of the door frame, and the stopper 3 protrudes from a side of the door frame for cooperating with the protective door 2.

[0034] In an actual application scenario, the charging port is located in the inner cavity of the box body 1, and the position of the charging port corresponds to the position of the opening 10 on the box body 1, so that the staff can charge the vehicle from the opening 10. After charging is completed, the protective door 2 is rotated around the hinge axis to close the opening 10. The protective door 2 is crimped with the door frame to achieve sealing. When it rains or when washing the car, some water may penetrate through the fitting between the protective door 2 and the door frame. At this time, the stopper 3 can block the penetrated water, thereby effectively preventing the penetrated water from directly entering the box body 1. Compared with the related technology, the charging port can be more effectively protected.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the box body 1 is a rectangular structure as a whole, and the rectangular opening 10 is provided on one surface of the box body 1, and the door frame is arranged around the outside of the opening 10. Correspondingly, the protective door 2 is a rectangular structure as a whole, and one side of the protective door 2 is hinged to the box body 1 through a hinge 4, so that the protective door 2 can swing left and right around the hinge axis to realize the opening and closing of the opening 10 on the box body 1. A flange is formed on the side of the protective door 2 facing the opening 10 of the box body 1, and the shape of the flange is consistent with the shape of the door frame on the box body 1, and the position of the flange corresponds to the position of the door frame on the box body 1. When the protective door 2 is closed, the flange is crimped onto the door frame to achieve sealing, and the stopper 3 is accommodated in the space formed on the inner side of the flange.

[0036] It is understandable that the box body 1 and the protective door 2 include but are not limited to the shapes listed above. Based on different needs and application scenarios, the shapes of the box body 1 and the protective door 2 can be selected. For box bodies 1 and protective doors 2 of different shapes, the shape of the stopper 3 will also be different accordingly. In the embodiment of the utility model, other shapes of box bodies 1 and protective doors 2 are no longer listed one by one. The protective door 2 and the box body 1 are not limited to the matching methods listed above. In other embodiments, the protective door 2 can also swing up and down around the hinge axis to realize the opening and closing of the opening 10 on the box body 1. No matter what form the protective door 2 and the box body 1 are matched, as long as the protection of the charging port can be achieved. In addition, the specific materials of the box body 1, the protective door 2 and the stopper 3 can be selected according to actual needs and application scenarios, and no specific restrictions are made in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0037] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 One side of the stopper 3 is connected to the box body 1. Specifically, the two can be integrally formed, and the other side is bent toward the outside of the door frame, so that the stopper 3 is formed as an L-shaped folded plate structure as a whole, and the L-shaped corner of the stopper 3 is formed as a water guide groove. When it rains or when washing the car, some water may penetrate through the matching part of the protective door 2 and the door frame. The stopper 3 can block the infiltrated water. At the same time, the infiltrated water will be temporarily stored in the water guide groove and flow downward under the guidance of the water guide groove, effectively avoiding the problem of water seepage into the interior of the box body 1, and further improving the protection effect of the charging port.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of the utility model, when the protective door 2 is closed, the side of the stopper 3 away from the box body 1 can be crimped and matched with the protective door 2 to prevent water from passing through the gap between the stopper 3 and the protective door 2, thereby further improving the protective effect.

[0039] Although the stopper 3 can block water seepage and effectively prevent water from entering the box body 1, an important reason for water seepage into the box body 1 is that the sealing performance of the joint between the protective door 2 and the box body 1 is poor. Therefore, it is still particularly important to improve the sealing performance of the joint between the protective door 2 and the box body 1.

[0040] In order to improve the sealing performance of the joint between the protective door 2 and the box body 1, in a specific embodiment of the utility model, a sealing gasket 5 is provided at the joint between the door frame and the protective door 2; the specific material of the sealing gasket 5 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, rubber, silicone, foam, etc. In this embodiment, the material of the sealing gasket 5 is selected as foam. The sealing gasket 5 made of foam can improve the sealing performance of the joint between the protective door 2 and the box body 1 and reduce the problem of water seepage. On the other hand, it can play a role in vibration reduction, reduce the vibration of the protective door 2 during the driving of the vehicle, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the protective door 2 caused by vibration.

[0041] There are a variety of optional connection methods for the sealing gasket 5 and the protective door 2 or the box body 1. For example, the sealing gasket 5 can be connected to the protective door 2 or to the box body 1. The sealing gasket 5 and the protective door 2 or the box body 1 can be fixed by bonding or connected by other methods.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 5 is bonded and fixed to the door frame.

[0043] In a specific application scenario, the sealing gasket 5 is arranged between the protective door 2 and the door frame. Under the pressure of the protective door 2 and the door frame, the sealing gasket 5 is deformed to achieve sealing. The sealing gasket 5 can improve the sealing effect between the protective door 2 and the door frame, and effectively prevent water from seeping in during rain or car washing. Even if a small amount of water seeps in, the stopper 3 can also block the seeped water to prevent the seeped water from directly entering the box body 1. In addition, the seeped water will be enriched and temporarily stored in the water guide groove and flow downward under the guidance of the water guide groove, and will not flow into the inside of the box body 1. In this way, the protection effect of the charging port is further improved.

[0044] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, water can be effectively prevented from penetrating into the box body 1 from the fitting point of the protective door 2 and the door frame. However, in actual applications, a drainage hole 11 is generally provided at the bottom of the box body 1 to ensure that the water penetrating into the bottom of the box body 1 is discharged in time. However, due to the existence of the drainage hole 11, the flushing water during car washing and the accumulated water splashed when the vehicle is running can easily splash into the box body 1 from the drainage hole 11, affecting the protective effect of the charging port.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The charging port protection device also includes a waterproof cover 6 arranged outside the drainage hole 11, and the waterproof cover 6 is provided with a water-permeable hole, and the water-permeable hole is offset from the drainage hole 11.

[0046] With such arrangement, the waterproof cover 6 can block the drainage hole 11. Since the drainage hole 11 and the water-permeable hole are offset from each other, the water splashed onto the waterproof cover 6 is effectively prevented from entering the box body 1 through the water-permeable hole and the drainage hole 11, thereby achieving protection for the drainage hole 11. At the same time, the water that has penetrated into the box body 1 can be discharged normally through the drainage hole 11 and the water-permeable hole.

[0047] The specific shape of the waterproof cover 6 can be designed according to the specific arrangement of the drainage holes 11 at the bottom of the box body 1. For example, when the drainage holes 11 are arranged in a linear shape, the waterproof cover 6 can be set to a rectangular parallelepiped structure. When the drainage holes 11 are arranged in a ring shape, the waterproof cover 6 can be set to a hemispherical shape, so that a single waterproof cover 6 can cover multiple drainage holes 11 at the same time. The specific arrangement position of the water-permeable hole on the waterproof cover 6 can be designed according to actual needs and application scenarios. For example, the water-permeable hole can be opened at the bottom or side of the waterproof cover 6, as long as it can be offset with the drainage hole 11.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are four drainage holes 11 which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1 . The waterproof cover 6 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure. Each waterproof cover 6 simultaneously covers two drainage holes 11 arranged in the width direction of the blocking portion 3 box body 1 .

[0049] In addition, it is found in actual application that if the water permeable hole is opened on the same side of the waterproof cover 6 relative to the opening 10 of the box body 1, the washing water can easily enter the waterproof cover 6 directly from the water permeable hole when washing the car; and if the water permeable hole is opened at the bottom of the waterproof cover 6, the splashed water can easily enter the waterproof cover 6 directly from the bottom when driving. Therefore, in this embodiment, the water permeable hole is opened on the other side of the waterproof cover 6 relative to the opening 10 on the box body 1. Such an arrangement is conducive to achieving better protection effect.

[0050] There are a variety of optional connection methods between the waterproof cover 6 and the box body 1, such as bonding, connecting with connectors or integral molding, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0051] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the charging port protection device further includes a lock 7 , and the box body 1 and the protection door 2 are locked by the lock 7 .

[0052] The specific type of lock 7 can be selected according to actual needs and application scenarios. The specific structure of each type of lock 7 can refer to the prior art. The specific structure or principle of the lock 7 is not improved in the embodiment of the utility model. Therefore, the specific structure and working principle of the lock 7 are not elaborated in the embodiment of the utility model.

[0053] The vehicle provided by the present invention is described below. The vehicle described below and the charging port protection device described above can be referenced to each other.

[0054] A vehicle comprises a charging port, wherein the charging port is located in a box body 1 of the above-mentioned charging port protection device, and the charging port corresponds to the position of an opening 10 on the box body 1.

[0055] The novelty of the present invention is that the charging port is located in the inner cavity of the box body 1, and the position of the charging port corresponds to the position of the opening 10 on the box body 1, so that the staff can charge the vehicle from the opening 10. After charging is completed, the protective door 2 is rotated around the hinge axis to close the opening 10. The protective door 2 and the door frame are crimped together to achieve sealing. When it rains or when washing the car, some water may penetrate through the fitting between the protective door 2 and the door frame. At this time, the stopper 3 can block the penetrated water, thereby effectively preventing the penetrated water from directly entering the box body 1. Compared with the related art, the charging port can be more effectively protected.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it.
