Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an electric charging port cover and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of vehicle technology, various types of on-board equipment are constantly being updated and moving towards automation.

[0003] The charging and / or refueling caps of vehicles are also being automated. In the related art, sensors can be added to the vehicle body to automatically open or close the caps when the sensors recognize the user's instructions.

[0004] However, in actual applications, not all vehicle models can be equipped with sensors. Whether sensors can be installed is closely related to the appearance characteristics of the vehicle. Therefore, the sensor installation method and the automation of the cover are limited to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the signal sensor is arranged on the outer panel, and the signal sensor is suitable for receiving a first signal to control the outer panel to open or instruct the outer panel to close according to the first signal. Thus, the vehicle's flap device is arranged on the outer panel of the flap, thereby avoiding the problem that the signal sensor cannot be arranged on the vehicle body due to the limitation of the vehicle shape. At the same time, the signal sensor receives the signal through the outer panel, and no longer triggers the opening or closing of the outer panel of the flap device through the traditional pressing of the flap, which makes the use of the flap device more flexible and convenient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0028] At present, vehicle hatches are generally opened or closed by the traditional manual pressing method. The traditional manual pressing hatch has the following problems:

[0029] 1) The traditional manual charging port cover is opened by pressing the outer panel of the cover;

[0030] 2) Pressing the charging port cover will touch the cover outer panel. When the outer panel is dirty, touching the switch outer panel will dirty the user's hands, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0031] Based on the above problems, the charging and / or refueling caps of vehicles are gradually being automated. In the related art, a sensor can be added to the vehicle body, and when the sensor recognizes the user's instruction information, the cap is automatically opened or closed.

[0032] However, in actual applications, since the sensor is set at a certain position on the vehicle body, the setting of the sensor will be affected by the body shape, and many body shapes cannot be equipped with sensors. Therefore, the setting method of the sensor and the automatic opening or closing of the cover are limited to a certain extent.

[0033] Figures 1 to 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle cover device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the device comprises: an outer panel and a signal sensor.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer plate is the outer plate of the mouth cover in the mouth cover device. Figure 1 Outer panel in 10.

[0035] Exemplarily, the outer panel of the above-mentioned cover device is an outer panel that can be electrically controlled and can be automatically opened or closed.

[0036] It can be understood that the above-mentioned vehicle flap device is applied to a vehicle that can be powered and has an electrical connection at the flap position.

[0037] In one example, the above-mentioned cover can be a fuel filler cap of a gasoline vehicle, or a new energy cover of a new energy (electric) vehicle.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer panel is used to shield and protect the energy inlet for adding energy to the vehicle. For example, the outer panel of a gasoline vehicle is used to shield and protect the gasoline tank refueling port, so that the vehicle does not leak oil from the tank opening; similarly, the outer panel of an electric vehicle is used to shield and protect the charging port of the electric energy box; similarly, the outer panel of a hybrid vehicle is used to shield and protect the charging port of the electric energy box and the refueling port of the fuel tank.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer panel is suitable for being rotatably connected to the body of the vehicle.

[0040] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, since the outer panel is suitable for protecting the above-mentioned energy inlet, in order to facilitate the use of the above-mentioned outer panel, the outer panel can be rotatably connected to the vehicle body on one side to facilitate opening and closing.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned device also includes a hinge mechanism.

[0042] Exemplarily, the hinge mechanism is suitable for being arranged between the outer panel and the vehicle body, and the outer panel is suitable for being rotatably connected to the vehicle through the hinge mechanism.

[0043] In one example, the hinge may be a gooseneck of the flap. Figure 2 The mouth cover gooseneck 21 in the middle.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the signal sensor is disposed on the outer panel, and the signal sensor is adapted to receive a first signal to control the outer panel to be opened or closed according to the first signal.

[0045] For example, the connection method between the signal sensor and the outer panel may include any one of the following: hot melt welding, screw connection, and bonding. Figure 3 As shown, when the signal sensor is connected to the outer plate by hot melt welding, the signal sensor includes a hot melt welding point 31 on the outer plate.

[0046] In one example, the signal sensor corresponds to the sensing area of ​​the signal sensor on the outer plate, such as Figure 1 The sensing area 11 of the signal sensor in the vehicle. It can be understood that in an actual application scenario, when the user uses the vehicle's flap device, the user can send a first signal to the vehicle's flap device within the sensing area 11 of the signal sensor.

[0047] Furthermore, the signal sensor can be installed and connected to the hinge by hot-melt welding, screw connection, bonding, etc.

[0048] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first signal includes: an instantaneous signal between the user and the external panel.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first signal is used to indicate that the outer panel is opened or closed.

[0050] In one example, the instantaneous signal may include: a non-contact instantaneous signal, such as a waving gesture signal; or a short contact signal, such as a tapping signal or a slight touch signal.

[0051] It should be noted that the instantaneous signal does not include a press signal. It is understandable that the instantaneous signal refers to a signal that is executed in a very short time. For example, a tapping signal or a short touch signal. The press signal is a signal that requires a certain length of time and a large contact force, and is not an instantaneous signal.

[0052] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the signal sensor is arranged on a side of the outer panel facing the interior of the vehicle when the outer panel is closed.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal sensor is arranged inside the cover. Figure 3 The signal sensor 32 in.

[0054] In one example, if Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the signal sensor 32 is mounted on the hinge structure (such as the cover gooseneck 21), and the signal harness (such as Figure 3 12) is arranged on the hinge structure, and the through hole near the rotation center 35 of the base 33 is passed through to connect with the wiring harness outside the vehicle (such as Figure 3 12) connection, the outlet of signal harness 12 is Figure 4 The outlet is 36.

[0055] In one example, the signal sensor is specifically used to receive the first signal of the outer panel and convert the first signal into a first electrical signal, so that the vehicle controls the outer panel to open or close through the first electrical signal.

[0056] Exemplarily, the first signal and the first electrical signal are different signals. The first signal is a signal executed by a user of the vehicle to which the vehicle cover device belongs (for example, a knocking signal or a short touch signal), and the first electrical signal is an electrical signal converted by the signal sensor based on the first signal.

[0057] In one example, the first electrical signal includes any one of the following: at least one capacitance sensing signal, at least one acceleration signal, and at least one stress strain signal.

[0058] In the present application, the vehicle's flap device includes an outer panel and a signal sensor, and the outer panel is suitable for being rotatably connected to the vehicle body. Specifically, the signal sensor is arranged on the outer panel, and the signal sensor is suitable for receiving a first signal to control the outer panel to open or instruct the outer panel to close according to the first signal. Thus, the vehicle's flap device is arranged on the outer panel of the flap, thereby avoiding the problem that the signal sensor cannot be arranged on the vehicle body due to the limitation of the vehicle shape. At the same time, the signal sensor receives the signal through the outer panel, and no longer triggers the opening or closing of the outer panel of the flap device through the traditional pressing of the flap, which makes the use of the flap device more flexible and convenient.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the signal sensor is disposed between an outer plate of the mouth cover and a hinge of the mouth cover.

[0060] Exemplarily, the sensor harness of the signal sensor is connected to the signal harness.

[0061] Exemplarily, the hinge is used to assist the flap in rotating when opening and closing.

[0062] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned vehicle cover device further includes a base 33. The above-mentioned base 33 is used to connect the vehicle body and the outer panel and fix the outer panel.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor, and the above device also includes an elastic body. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the figure, there is a capacitive sensor 52 and an elastic body 51 , and the elastic body 51 is located above the sensing area of ​​the capacitive sensor 52 .

[0064] Exemplarily, there is a first gap between the capacitive sensor and the outer plate, and the elastic body is disposed in the first gap.

[0065] exist Figure 5In the welding method of capacitive sensors, hot melt welding is used. Figure 5 The hot melt welding via 54 required for hot melt welding is included.

[0066] It is understandable that, when the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor, the first signal needs to be converted into an electrical signal first, and then the vehicle controls the opening or closing of the outer panel through the electrical signal. Specifically, the principle of converting the first signal into an electrical signal is: by sensing the change in dielectric constant, receiving the first signal, and converting the first signal into a first electrical signal.

[0067] Furthermore, when there is a first gap between the capacitive sensor and the above-mentioned outer plate, the first gap contains air. When the dielectric constant of the air changes, the capacitive sensor may incorrectly identify the signal. For example, the user does not actually send a signal to the capacitive sensor, and the change in dielectric constant caused by the air flow leads to the generation of a signal. At this time, the capacitive sensor recognizes the signal as an error signal.

[0068] Furthermore, the above-mentioned problem of incorrect identification signal can be avoided by filling the first gap with an elastic body.

[0069] In one example, the material of the elastic body may be rubber.

[0070] In this way, the occurrence of a situation where the final capacitive signal recognition error due to the presence of air in the first gap can be avoided, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the recognition signal.

[0071] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned device also includes a drive motor.

[0072] Exemplarily, the drive motor is suitable for being arranged at the connection between the outer panel and the vehicle body.

[0073] Exemplarily, the driving motor is electrically connected to the signal sensor to drive the outer panel to rotate.

[0074] Exemplarily, the driving motor is used to drive the outer panel of the cover device to open or close. Figure 1 As shown, the drive motor 13.

[0075] It is understandable that the opening or closing of the outer panel is performed by the drive motor, but the drive motor may not have the function of controlling the opening or closing of the outer panel of the cover device. In the embodiment of the present application, the above is controlled by other units other than the drive motor in the vehicle.

[0076] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned device also includes a controller.

[0077] Exemplarily, the controller is electrically connected to the signal sensor.

[0078] In one example, the controller and the signal sensor are electrically connected via a signal harness.

[0079] It can be understood that the above-mentioned signal harness is used to transmit signals between the above-mentioned signal sensor, the above-mentioned drive motor and the above-mentioned controller.

[0080] It can be understood that the signal harness is located at the end of the signal sensor and can be used to transmit the signal of the signal sensor.

[0081] Exemplarily, the controller is adapted to receive and process the first signal from the signal sensor, and send the processed first signal to the drive motor, so as to control the outer panel to open or close via the drive motor.

[0082] Exemplarily, the processed first signal is: after receiving the first signal sent by the user, the signal sensor processes the first signal into a first electrical signal.

[0083] In one example, the controller is used to receive the first electrical signal received and processed by the signal sensor, convert the first electrical signal into a first control signal, and send the first control signal to the drive motor.

[0084] Exemplarily, the first control signal is used to control the outer panel to open or to control the outer panel to close.

[0085] Furthermore, the first electrical signal is transmitted to the controller through a signal harness, and then transmitted to the drive motor by the controller through the signal harness.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the driving motor is used to drive the outer panel to open or drive the outer panel to close according to the first control signal.

[0087] It can be seen from the above content that the driving motor can drive the outer panel to open or close, and after receiving the first control signal sent by the controller, the driving motor can drive the outer panel to open or close.

[0088] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, when the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor, the capacitive sensor includes: a printed circuit board.

[0089] Exemplarily, the printed circuit board is arranged inside the capacitive sensor. Figure 1 As shown, a printed circuit board 71.

[0090] Exemplarily, the capacitive electrodes of the capacitive sensor are arranged on the printed circuit board.

[0091] Exemplarily, the capacitor electrode is used to receive the first signal, convert the first signal into a first capacitor signal, and transmit the first capacitor signal to the controller through the signal harness.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, the capacitive sensor can be built into the PCBA, and the capacitive electrodes are arranged on the PCBA.

[0093] In one example, if Figure 7 As shown, the signal sensor is composed of a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) 71, a wiring harness, a glue potting area 72, and a capacitive sensor housing 73. At the same time, the hot melt welding point of the capacitive sensor is 74.

[0094] The following describes the application scenario where the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor through Example 1:

[0095] Example 1: When the vehicle's flap is in a closed state, when the user briefly touches the detection area of ​​the outer panel of the flap without pressure, the capacitive sensor receives the pressure-free touch signal of the detection area (i.e., the first signal mentioned above), and senses the capacitance change of the detection area through the capacitive electrode. The capacitive electrode converts the touch signal into a first capacitive signal, and transmits the first capacitive signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the controller mentioned above) through the signal harness at the end of the capacitive sensor. After receiving the first capacitive signal, the vehicle controller converts the first capacitive signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor opens the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0096] When the vehicle's flap is in an open state, when the user briefly touches the detection area of ​​the outer plate of the flap without pressure, the capacitive sensor receives the pressure-free touch signal of the detection area (i.e., the first signal mentioned above), and senses the capacitance change of the detection area through the capacitive electrode. The capacitive electrode converts the touch signal into a first capacitive signal, and transmits the first capacitive signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the controller mentioned above) through the signal harness at the end of the capacitive sensor. After receiving the first capacitive signal, the vehicle controller converts the first capacitive signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor closes the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0097] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the outer plate includes a first sensing area and a second sensing area corresponding to the signal sensor, and the first electrical signal includes a first sub-signal corresponding to the first sensing area and a second sub-signal corresponding to the second sensing area;

[0098] The signal sensor is specifically used to: receive the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal in a predetermined order within a predetermined time period; the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal in the predetermined order are used to indicate that the outer panel is opened or closed.

[0099] Exemplarily, the predetermined duration may be preset for the vehicle or may be user-defined.

[0100] It is understandable that the predetermined time period may be a shorter time period. In one application scenario, when the sensor includes two sensing areas, the two sensing areas receive two touch signals from the user in a shorter time period, for example, when the sensing area is a capacitive sensing area, the capacitive sensing area receives two touch signals from the user in sequence within 2 seconds, and then the two sub-capacitance signals of the two capacitive sensing areas may indicate that the flap is open or closed.

[0101] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned predetermined order may be preset for the vehicle or may be customized by the user.

[0102] In an example, the predetermined order may be to first receive the first sub-signal of the first sensing area and then receive the second sub-signal of the second sensing area; or to first receive the second sub-signal of the second sensing area and then receive the first sub-signal of the first sensing area.

[0103] It is understandable that in order to prevent the user from accidentally triggering the sensor corresponding area of ​​the outer panel and thereby accidentally triggering the opening or closing of the cover, at least two sensors can be set, and at least two sensors receive the first signal in a predetermined order within a predetermined time.

[0104] In one example, the predetermined order corresponding to the at least two sensors can be used as the password order for opening the cover. For example, when the number of the at least two sensors is 4 capacitive sensors, the touch order corresponding to the 4 sensors can be: the first sensor, the second sensor, the third sensor, the fourth sensor; or the first sensor, the third sensor, the second sensor, the fourth sensor; or the fourth sensor, the second sensor, the third sensor, the first sensor, and so on. Any type of order for receiving the first signal can be set.

[0105] The following is a description of the three types of signal sensors and the outer panel opening and closing methods of different types of signals.

[0106] The first one is that the type of the first signal is a capacitive signal, and the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor.

[0107] Optionally, the first signal includes at least two capacitive sensing signals, the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor, the capacitive sensor includes a first capacitive sensing area and a second capacitive sensing area, and the first electrical signal includes a first sub-capacitive signal and a second sub-capacitive signal.

[0108] The capacitive sensor is specifically used to: receive the first sub-signal of the first capacitive sensing area and the second sub-signal of the second capacitive sensing area in a predetermined order within a predetermined time period; convert the first sub-signal into a first sub-capacitance signal and convert the second sub-signal into a second sub-capacitance signal, and transmit the first sub-capacitance signal and the second sub-capacitance signal to the controller.

[0109] Example 2: Assume that the vehicle's flap device includes two capacitive sensing areas, namely the first capacitive sensing area and the second capacitive sensing area, and the preset time for the above two capacitive sensing areas to receive the first signal is 2S, and the preset order is that the second capacitive sensing area first receives the touch signal (i.e., the first signal), and the first capacitive sensing area then receives the touch signal (i.e., the first signal). When the vehicle's flap is in a closed state, when the user touches the detection area of ​​the outer plate of the flap without pressure within 2S, the second capacitive sensing area and the first capacitive sensing area of ​​the capacitive sensor sequentially receive the pressure-free touch signal of the detection area (i.e., the above-mentioned first sub-signal and second sub-signal), and sense the capacitance change of the detection area through the capacitive electrode, and the capacitive electrode converts the touch signal into the first sub-capacitive signal and the second sub-capacitive signal, and transmits the first sub-capacitive signal and the second sub-capacitive signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through the signal harness at the end of the capacitive sensor. After receiving the first capacitive signal, the vehicle controller converts the first sub-capacitive signal and the second sub-capacitive signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor opens the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0110] When the vehicle's flap is in an open state, when the user touches the detection area of ​​the outer plate of the flap without pressure within 2S, the second capacitive sensing area and the first capacitive sensing area of ​​the capacitive sensor receive the pressure-free touch signal of the detection area (i.e., the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal mentioned above) in turn, and sense the capacitance change of the detection area through the capacitive electrode, and the capacitive electrode converts the touch signal into the first sub-capacitance signal and the second sub-capacitance signal, and transmits the first sub-capacitance signal and the second sub-capacitance signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through the signal harness at the end of the capacitive sensor. After receiving the first capacitive signal, the vehicle controller converts the first sub-capacitance signal and the second sub-capacitance signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor closes the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0111] In this way, when the capacitive sensor corresponds to multiple capacitive sensing areas, the opening and closing states of the cover can be more accurately controlled by the preset time length and the preset order of the capacitive sensing areas receiving signals.

[0112] Second, the type of the first signal is an acceleration signal, and the signal sensor is an acceleration sensor.

[0113] Alternatively, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, when the first signal is the at least one acceleration signal, the signal sensor is the acceleration sensor 81.

[0114] Exemplarily, the acceleration of the acceleration action is greater than a preset acceleration threshold.

[0115] like Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an acceleration sensor. Fig. 9 81, the acceleration sensor 81, is used to detect the acceleration action of the outer panel within a preset range, receive the acceleration signal corresponding to the acceleration action and convert the acceleration signal into a first electrical signal, and send the first electrical signal to the controller.

[0116] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned preset acceleration threshold value may be preset or user-defined. It is understandable that the acceleration sensor will sense the acceleration only when the acceleration of the acceleration action is greater than the preset acceleration threshold value.

[0117] It can be understood that the above-mentioned acceleration action may include a relatively gentle and fast-changing action, such as a tapping action.

[0118] Furthermore, the acceleration sensor can measure an acceleration signal indicated by the acceleration sensor corresponding to an acceleration change within a preset range.

[0119] Exemplarily, the above preset range refers to the sensing area of ​​the acceleration sensor. It is understandable that the acceleration sensor can continuously receive and sense the external acceleration changes, but it needs to sense the external acceleration changes within the preset range of the acceleration sensor.

[0120] Exemplarily, the above preset range may be preset or user-defined.

[0121] Example 3: When the vehicle's flap is in a closed state, if the user briefly and lightly taps the detection area of ​​the flap's outer panel, the acceleration sensor receives an acceleration signal corresponding to the acceleration action in the detection area, and the microcontroller built into the acceleration sensor converts the acceleration signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through the signal harness at the end of the acceleration sensor. After receiving the first electrical signal, the vehicle controller converts the first electrical signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor opens the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0122] When the flap of the vehicle is in an open state, when the user briefly and lightly taps the detection area of ​​the outer panel of the flap, the acceleration sensor receives the acceleration signal corresponding to the acceleration action in the detection area, and the microcontroller built into the acceleration sensor converts the acceleration signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through the signal harness at the end of the acceleration sensor. After receiving the first electrical signal, the vehicle controller converts the first electrical signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor closes the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0123] Thirdly, the type of the first signal is an instantaneous stress signal, and the signal sensor is a stress sensor.

[0124] Alternatively, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, when the first signal is the at least one instantaneous stress signal, the signal sensor is a stress sensor 82, and the instantaneous stress corresponding to the instantaneous stress signal is within a preset stress range.

[0125] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the instantaneous stress should be smaller than the pressing stress and belong to a gentle stress, such as knocking. At the same time, the instantaneous stress should be completed in a short time, such as 1 second.

[0126] Exemplarily, the above preset stress range may be preset by the vehicle or may be user-defined, which is not limited in the present application. It is understandable that the stress sensor will sense the instantaneous stress only when the instantaneous stress is within the preset stress range.

[0127] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 The stress sensor is used to receive the instantaneous stress signal, convert the instantaneous stress signal into the first electrical signal, and send the first electrical signal to the controller.

[0128] Furthermore, the stress sensor can measure the stress value of the stress detection area corresponding to the stress sensor, and indicate an instantaneous stress signal according to the stress value.

[0129] Exemplarily, the above preset range refers to the sensing area of ​​the acceleration sensor. It is understandable that the acceleration sensor can continuously receive and sense the external acceleration changes, but it needs to sense the external acceleration changes within the preset range of the acceleration sensor.

[0130] Exemplarily, the above preset range may be preset or user-defined.

[0131] Example 4: When the vehicle's flap is in a closed state, if the user briefly and lightly taps the detection area of ​​the flap's outer panel, the stress sensor receives an instantaneous stress signal corresponding to the tapping action in the detection area, and the microcontroller built into the stress sensor converts the instantaneous stress signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through the signal harness at the end of the stress sensor. After receiving the first electrical signal, the vehicle controller converts the first electrical signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor opens the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0132] When the vehicle's flap is in an open state, when a user briefly and lightly taps the detection area of ​​the flap outer panel, the stress sensor receives an instantaneous stress signal corresponding to the tapping action in the detection area, and the microcontroller built into the stress sensor converts the instantaneous stress signal into a first electrical signal, and transmits the first electrical signal to the vehicle controller (i.e., the above-mentioned controller) through a signal harness at the end of the stress sensor. After receiving the first electrical signal, the vehicle controller converts the first electrical signal into a first control signal, and sends the first control signal to the drive motor through the signal harness, and finally the drive motor closes the flap after receiving the first control signal.

[0133] Alternatively, if Figure 5As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned device also includes a signal feedback device electrically connected to the above-mentioned signal sensor.

[0134] Exemplarily, the signal feedback device is used to send a first feedback signal when the signal sensor receives the first signal.

[0135] Exemplarily, the first feedback signal includes at least one of the following: a sound signal, a vibration signal.

[0136] In one example, the signal feedback device may be a buzzer and / or a vibration generator. Figure 5 As shown, the feedback device 53.

[0137] Exemplarily, the signal feedback device is arranged inside the signal sensor.

[0138] It is understandable that the signal sensor can send a signal feedback to the user through the mouth cover after receiving the first signal sent by the user to the mouth cover through the built-in signal feedback device. That is, after receiving the first signal, the built-in signal feedback device is controlled to work for a period of time to notify the user that the signal has been sent.

[0139] In one example, after receiving a touch signal or a knock signal sent by the user to the flap, the signal sensor simultaneously sends a sound signal and a vibration signal through a buzzer and a vibration generator to remind the user that the user has received the information that the user needs to control the flap to open or close.

[0140] In this way, when the user issues an instruction to open or close the vehicle's flap device, the vehicle's flap device can immediately feedback to the user that the user's instruction has been received, making the vehicle's flap device more interactive.

[0141] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the outer panel is opened and an energy access device is inserted into the cover, the signal sensor is suitable for receiving the second signal.

[0142] Exemplarily, the second signal is used to control the vehicle to start a charging mode at a predetermined time.

[0143] Exemplarily, the second signal may be a signal instructing a user to start a charging mode for the vehicle at a predetermined time.

[0144] Exemplarily, the second signal may include: at least one touch signal, at least one acceleration signal, at least one instantaneous stress signal

[0145] In one example, the signal sensor is used to receive the second signal, process the second signal into a second electrical signal, and send the second electrical signal to the vehicle controller, so that the controller controls the vehicle to start the charging mode at a predetermined time.

[0146] Exemplarily, the second electrical signal may include any one of the following: at least one capacitance sensing signal, at least one acceleration signal, and at least one stress strain signal.

[0147] It is understandable that, generally, the charging costs are different in different time periods. Therefore, when an energy access device (such as an electric gun) is inserted, a second signal can be received again on the outer panel of the cover. The second signal is used to instruct the vehicle to start the charging mode at a predetermined time and actually connect to the energy of the energy access device.

[0148] It should be noted that although the structures of the present invention are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that these structures must be operated in this specific order or that all the shown structures must be executed to achieve the desired results.

[0150] In one embodiment, the signal sensor is disposed on a side of the outer panel facing the interior of the vehicle when the outer panel is closed.

[0151] In one embodiment, the signal sensor is a capacitive sensor, and the device further includes an elastic body; there is a first gap between the capacitive sensor and the outer plate, and the elastic body is arranged in the first gap.

[0152] In one embodiment, the device further comprises a driving motor; the driving motor is suitable for being arranged at the connection between the outer panel and the vehicle body; the driving motor is electrically connected to a signal sensor for driving the outer panel to rotate.

[0153] In one embodiment, the device also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the signal sensor; the controller is suitable for receiving and processing the first signal from the signal sensor, and sending the processed first signal to the drive motor, thereby controlling the outer panel to open or close through the drive motor.

[0154] In one embodiment, the device further comprises a hinge mechanism, wherein the hinge mechanism is adapted to be disposed between the outer panel and the vehicle body, and the outer panel is adapted to be rotatably connected to the vehicle through the hinge mechanism.

[0155] In one embodiment, the first signal comprises: a transient signal between a user and the external panel.

[0156] In one embodiment, the outer panel includes a first sensing area and a second sensing area corresponding to the signal sensor, and the first electrical signal includes a first sub-signal corresponding to the first sensing area and a second sub-signal corresponding to the second sensing area; the signal sensor is specifically used to: receive the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal in a predetermined order within a predetermined time period; the first sub-signal and the second sub-signal in the predetermined order are used to indicate that the outer panel is turned on or off.

[0157] In one embodiment, the device also includes a signal feedback device electrically connected to the signal sensor; the signal feedback device is used to send a first feedback signal when the signal sensor receives the first signal; the first feedback signal includes at least one of the following: a sound signal, a vibration signal.

[0158] In one embodiment, when the outer panel is opened and the energy access device is inserted into the cover, the signal sensor is adapted to receive a second signal, and the second signal is used to control the vehicle to start the charging mode at a predetermined time.

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle's flap device includes an outer panel and a signal sensor, and the outer panel is suitable for being rotatably connected to the vehicle body. Specifically, the signal sensor is arranged on the outer panel, and the signal sensor is suitable for receiving a first signal to control the outer panel to open or instruct the outer panel to close according to the first signal. Thus, the vehicle's flap device is arranged on the outer panel of the flap, thereby avoiding the problem that the signal sensor cannot be arranged on the vehicle body due to the limitation of the vehicle shape. At the same time, the signal sensor receives the signal through the outer panel, and no longer triggers the opening or closing of the outer panel of the flap device through the traditional pressing of the flap, which makes the use of the flap device more flexible and convenient.
