[0025] like Figure 1AAs shown, the housing includes a decorative frame 1 and a bottom shell 6, the decorative frame 1 is located on the outside of the bottom shell 6, the first charging interface 81 and the second charging interface are located on the inside of the bottom shell 6, for example, the first charging interface 81 and the second charging interface 82 are abutted against the bottom shell 6, and the bottom shell 6 is provided with a first opening 61 and a second opening 62, the first opening 61 exposes the first charging interface 81, and the second opening 62 exposes the second charging interface 82. The decorative frame 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11, and the image sensor 7 is provided in the mounting hole 11 of the decorative frame 1. In some embodiments, the decorative frame 1 has a sensor opening, and the sensor opening is an opening provided on the decorative frame 1 for transmitting image signals, and the image sensor 7 receives image signals via the sensor opening. Exemplarily, the sensor opening includes a first part corresponding to the first charging interface 81 and a second part corresponding to the second charging interface 82, wherein the interface shielding component shields the first part but not the second part, or the interface shielding component shields the second part but not the first part. The sensor opening can be circular, square or other shapes, and can match the shape of the image sensor 7. Exemplarily, the sensor opening may also be provided with a filter or other filtering elements to prevent interference light signals from affecting the image signal.

[0026] Exemplarily, the shell is a structure for fixing and protecting the internal components of the charging socket 100. The decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6 can be made of metal, plastic or other materials, and have certain strength and durability. The decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6 can be circular, square or other shapes, and can be coordinated with the appearance or style of the vehicle.

A lock or other connecting element can also be provided between the decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6 to facilitate its disassembly or installation. For example, in some embodiments, when the charging socket 100 needs to be replaced or repaired, the decorative frame 1 can be separated from the bottom shell 6 by unfastening the lock or other connecting element, thereby exposing the internal components of the charging socket 100.

[0027] Exemplarily, the first type of charging gun and the second type of charging gun include an AC charging gun and a DC charging gun. Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1CAs shown, the first charging interface 81 includes a seven-hole AC interface, the second charging interface 82 includes a nine-hole DC interface, the first type of charging gun is an AC charging gun, and the second type of charging gun is a DC charging gun. In other embodiments, the types of the first charging interface and the second charging interface can also be interchanged or changed. For example, the first charging interface and the second charging interface are both AC charging interfaces or DC charging interfaces, but the specifications of the first charging interface and the second charging interface are different, corresponding to two different specifications of AC charging guns or two different specifications of DC charging guns.

[0028] In some embodiments, the interface shielding assembly is disposed between the decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6, and the interface shielding assembly includes a baffle 2, a bracket 4 and a driver 5, wherein the baffle 2 and the driver 5 are disposed on the bracket 4. Figure 1B , Figure 1C and Figure 2As shown, the driver 5 is electrically connected to the controller 203, and the controller 203 is configured to: when the first signal is received, the driver 5 drives the bracket 4 to rotate so that the baffle 2 shields the second charging interface 82, and when the second signal is received, the driver 5 drives the bracket 4 to rotate so that the baffle 2 shields the first charging interface 81. Exemplarily, the driver 5 includes a solenoid valve, and optionally, the solenoid valve is a rotary electromagnet, and the rotary electromagnet can respond to the output voltage controlled by the controller 203 and rotate a certain angle according to the output voltage value. The rotation angle of the baffle 2 driven by the driver 5 to drive the bracket 4 can be adjusted according to actual conditions to achieve the best shielding effect. For example, in some embodiments, the rotation angle of the baffle 2 can be 90 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees, etc. In some embodiments, the controller 203 controls different voltage values ​​output to the rotary electromagnet, and the output voltage can control the working state of the rotary electromagnet, thereby driving the rotation direction and angle of the bracket 4. For example, in some embodiments, when the controller 203 outputs 0V, the rotary electromagnet is turned off, the rotary electromagnet does not drive the bracket 4, and the baffle 2 does not rotate; when the controller 203 outputs 5V, the rotary electromagnet works, and the bracket 4 rotates 90 degrees clockwise; when the controller 203 outputs 10V, the rotary electromagnet works, and the bracket 4 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise. In other embodiments, the controller 203 can also output other types of signals to the driver 5, such as current, frequency, or pulse. The current signal is a different current value output by the controller 203. The current signal can control the magnetic field strength of the driver 5, thereby controlling the rotation speed and torque of the bracket 4. The frequency signal is a different frequency value output by the controller 203. The frequency signal can control the number of switching times of the driver 5, thereby controlling the number and period of rotation of the bracket 4. The pulse signal is a different pulse width value output by the air. The pulse signal can control the switching time of the driver 5, thereby controlling the rotation time and distance of the bracket 4.

[0029] like Figure 1A and Figure 2As shown, the interface shielding assembly also includes a light source circuit board 3, which is arranged on the bracket 4 and has a light-emitting element. The baffle 2 includes a light guide plate, which is located on the outside of the light-emitting element, and the light guide plate is located between the decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6 and is parallel to the decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6.

Exemplarily, the light guide plate is also provided with an optical pattern, which is used to transmit the light signal. The light guide plate can be made of transparent or translucent plastic, glass or other materials, and has certain strength and toughness. The light guide plate can be round, square or other shapes, and can match the decorative frame 1 and the bottom shell 6. The optical pattern on the light guide plate can be concave-convex, striped, grid or other patterns, and can be coordinated with the light signals of different colors or brightness emitted by the light-emitting element. As shown Figure 2 As shown, the light source circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the controller 203, and the controller 203 is configured to: control the light emitting element to emit a light signal to indicate the charging status. The light emitting element may be an LED lamp or other types of lamps. The light emitting element may emit light signals of different colors or brightness to indicate different charging states. For example, in some embodiments, the light emitting element may emit a red, green, or yellow light signal to indicate a state of being charged, having been charged, or requiring operation. In other embodiments, the light emitting element may also emit light signals of other colors or brightness to indicate other meanings or functions.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the image sensor 7 is used to collect the first image signal of the charging gun to be electrically connected to the first charging interface or the second charging interface, and convert it into a digital signal to input into the controller, wherein the first image signal is emitted by the charging gun to indicate its shape, size and other image signals indicating the type of the charging gun. In some embodiments, the image sensor 7 is a CCD image sensor, and the first image signal is an infrared radiation signal of the charging gun, that is, an infrared image image emitted by the charging gun, and the infrared image image can reflect the contour, edge, angle and other features of the charging gun. The image sensor 7 receives the infrared radiation image emitted by the charging gun and converts it into a digital signal to input into the controller, thereby realizing the recognition of the type of the charging gun. In other embodiments, the image sensor 7 may also be other types of image sensors, and the first image signal may also be other types of signals. For example, in some embodiments, the image sensor 7 may be a CMOS image sensor, a laser radar or an ultrasonic wave, and the first image signal may be visible light, a laser or an acoustic wave, etc. The resolution, sensitivity and response speed of the image sensor 7 may be selected according to actual conditions to achieve the best recognition effect and performance. For example, in some embodiments, the resolution of the image sensor 7 may be 640×480, 1280×720 or 1920×1080, etc., the sensitivity may be 0.1, 0.01 or 0.001, etc., and the response speed may be 1ms, 10ms or 100ms, etc.

[0031] In some embodiments, the controller is an ECU, i.e., a vehicle control unit. An ECU is an electronic device that integrates functions such as a microprocessor, memory, input / output interface, and communication protocol, and can collect, analyze, control, and adjust various parameters of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the controller may also be other types of electronic components, such as a single-chip microcomputer, a PLC, or an FPGA. The functions, performance, and specifications of the controller may be selected according to actual conditions to achieve the best control effect and performance. For example, in some embodiments, the functions of the controller may include data acquisition, data analysis, data storage, data communication, data display, etc.; the performance may include computing speed, memory capacity, communication protocol, number of interfaces, etc.; the specifications may include size, weight, power consumption, operating temperature, etc.

[0032] refer to Figure 2After the charging process starts, the charging port cover switch is disconnected, the controller 203 is suspended and closed by connecting the terminal of the charging port cover switch, and the low level is turned on. When the first type of charging gun is used to approach the charging socket 100 of the present application, the first type of charging gun sends a first image signal as the first signal, and the image sensor 7 receives the first signal and converts it into a digital signal and inputs it into the controller 203. The controller 203 receives the first signal and controls the driver 5 to drive the bracket 4 to rotate the baffle 2, so that the baffle 2 covers the second charging interface and exposes the first charging interface. At the same time, the controller 203 also controls the light emitting element to emit a light signal corresponding to the first type of charging gun to indicate the charging state of the first type of charging gun, and the light guide plate emits the light signal through the optical pattern of the light guide plate. In this way, the user can see that the first charging interface has been exposed, and understand the current charging state or operation prompt through the light signal emitted by the light guide plate. At the same time, the baffle shields the unused charging interface to prevent the unused charging interface from being exposed to the external environment (such as rainy and snowy weather), prevent the risk of short circuit caused by water ingress, and improve the safety of the charging process.

[0033] Continue to refer Figure 2 After the charging process starts, the charging port cover switch is disconnected, the controller 203 is suspended and closed with the terminal connected to the charging port cover switch, and the low level is turned on. When the second type of charging gun is used to approach the charging socket 100 of the present application, the first image signal emitted by the second type of charging gun is the second signal. The image sensor 7 receives the second signal and converts it into a digital signal and inputs it into the controller 203. The controller 203 receives the second signal and controls the driver 5 to drive the bracket 4 to rotate the baffle 2 so that the baffle 2 shields the first charging interface and exposes the second charging interface. At the same time, the controller 203 also controls the light emitting element to emit a light signal corresponding to the second type of charging to indicate the charging status of the second type of charging gun, and the light guide plate emits the light signal through the optical pattern of the light guide plate. In this way, the user can see that the second charging interface has been exposed, and understand the current charging status or operation prompts through the light signal emitted by the light guide plate. At the same time, the baffle shields the unused charging interface to prevent the unused charging interface from being exposed to the external environment (such as rainy and snowy weather), prevent the risk of short circuit caused by water ingress, and improve the safety of the charging process.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the charging socket 100 also includes a discharge interface, which is arranged in the shell and is used to be electrically connected to an electrical appliance, wherein the image sensor 7 is configured to: collect a second image signal of an electrical appliance plug 304 to be electrically connected to the discharge interface, and the controller 203 is configured to: when it is determined that the electrical appliance plug 304 matches the discharge interface based on the above-mentioned second image signal, control the interface shielding component to expose the discharge interface.

[0035] Exemplarily, when a user encounters a power outage, the discharge interface is used to obtain backup power. The user places the appliance plug 304 close to the sensor opening of the charging socket 100, and the image sensor 7 captures the second image through the sensor opening and converts it into a digital signal input into the controller 203. The controller 203 parses the second image signal through software to identify the type of the appliance plug 304, determines that the appliance plug 304 matches the discharge interface, and controls the interface shielding component to rotate the baffle to the discharge position to expose the discharge interface, and controls the light-emitting element to emit a corresponding light signal to indicate that the user can electrically connect the appliance plug 304 to the discharge interface.

[0036] The present application also provides an electric vehicle, comprising: a power battery; and the above-mentioned charging socket, wherein the power battery is electrically connected to the first charging interface and the second charging interface. In some embodiments, the electric vehicle is charged through the above-mentioned charging socket, thereby having similar beneficial effects as the charging socket. In some embodiments, the electric vehicle can be used as a backup power source to supply power to electrical appliances through the discharge interface. The specific process is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0037] The charging socket and electric vehicle provided by the present application have the following advantages: the charging socket provided by the present application realizes the self-identification of the charging interface to the adapted charging gun, and the user does not need to additionally identify the charging interface or open all charging interfaces, which can improve the convenience of the charging process. At the same time, the interface shielding component shields the unused charging interface to avoid the unused charging interface from being exposed to the external environment (such as rainy and snowy weather), prevents the risk of short circuit caused by water ingress, and improves the safety of the charging process. Furthermore, the charging socket of the present application also has a light-emitting element and a light guide plate, which can emit corresponding light signals during the charging process to indicate the charging status and enhance the user's visual effect and judgment. Furthermore, the image sensor and controller of the charging socket of the present application are located on the charging socket. By identifying the physical characteristics of the charging gun and the electrical appliance plug itself, there is no need to set up an additional signal generating device on the charging gun and the electrical appliance, which reduces the weight and cost of the charging gun.
