DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0026] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0027] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second", are used to distinguish one element from another element and do not have order and importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same mark in different drawings represents the same element.

[0028] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic lock is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the electronic lock includes a position sensor 1, a locking assembly 2 and a driving mechanism 3. The locking assembly 2 is provided with a positioning portion 210 for cooperating with the position sensor 1 so as to detect the position of the locking assembly 2 through the position sensor 1; the driving mechanism 3 includes an electromagnetic coil assembly 310 for driving the locking assembly 2 to move.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, that is, the electronic lock provided by the present disclosure, the electronic lock realizes the movement of the locking assembly 2 by electromagnetic drive to realize the locking or unlocking of the electronic lock. Compared with the related art, for example, the method of driving the transmission gear driven by a motor, the electronic lock provided by the present disclosure is simpler in structure and has a smaller space occupancy rate, which is conducive to the overall lightweight design of the electronic lock; and by adaptively adjusting the number of turns of the coil of the electromagnetic coil assembly, for example, the magnitude of the electromagnetic force can be adjusted, so that the movement efficiency of the locking assembly can be adaptively improved, and the applicability and convenience of the electronic lock can be improved, so as to reduce or even avoid the problem that the locking assembly 2 is not completely withdrawn when the gun is drawn. In addition, the locking assembly 2 is also provided with a positioning portion 210 that cooperates with the position sensor 1, so that the position of the locking assembly 2 can be detected by the position sensor 1, and the position of the locking assembly 2 can be fed back in time, so as to be used for, for example, the judgment that the gun can be drawn, and the problem that the charging gun cannot be pulled out due to the incomplete withdrawal of the locking assembly 2 can also be avoided.

[0030] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the position sensor 1 can have a first contact point 110 and a second contact point 120 arranged at intervals along a first direction parallel to the moving direction of the locking component 2. The locking component 2 has a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the positioning portion 210 is connected to the first contact point 110, and in the unlocked position, the positioning portion 210 is connected to the second contact point 120. This enables the position sensor 1 to perform positioning detection on the electronic lock and timely feedback of the current position of the locking component 2. It can also avoid the problem of being unable to pull out the charging gun due to the locking component 2 not being fully withdrawn. Specifically, when, for example, the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position, the locking rod 220 of the locking assembly 2 can be extended to the outside of the housing 9, so that the locking rod 220 can be used to limit the lock of, for example, a charging gun (not shown in the figure), thereby avoiding the accidental removal of the charging gun. When, for example, the locking assembly 2 is in the unlocked position, the locking rod 220 of the locking assembly 2 can be retracted to the inside of the housing 9. At the same time, the position sensor 1 can also transmit the signal that the locking assembly 2 is in the unlocked position to, for example, a controller (not shown in the figure), so that the driver can make a decision to remove the gun under the control of the controller through prompt operations such as voice prompts.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that the specific structure of the position sensor 1 is not specifically limited in the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art may select a contact sensor or a proximity sensor known in the art, etc., the purpose of which is to detect the position of the locking assembly 2 through the position sensor 1. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0032] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 may include a coil bracket 311 and an electromagnetic coil 312 arranged on the coil bracket 311. The locking assembly 2 is movably connected to the coil bracket 311, so that the locking assembly 2 can be moved by electromagnetic drive. The structure is simple and the space occupancy rate is smaller, which is conducive to the overall lightweight design of the electronic lock.

[0033] It should be noted that the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 can drive the locking assembly 2 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, and can also be used to drive the locking assembly 2 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, or, after the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 drives the locking assembly 2 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, the locking assembly 2 can be automatically reset from the unlocked position to the locked position by means of, for example, an elastic reset member 4 after power is cut off, or after the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 drives the locking assembly 2 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, the locking assembly 2 can be automatically reset from the locked position to the unlocked position by means of, for example, an elastic reset member 4 after power is cut off. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0034] For example, illustratively, in some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, an elastic reset member 4 can be arranged between the locking assembly 2 and the coil bracket 311, and the elastic reset member 4 is used to provide a reset elastic force for the locking assembly 2 to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position, so that the locking assembly 2 can be automatically reset by the elastic reset member 4 after the electromagnetic coil 312 is powered off, that is, the locking assembly 2 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the structure is simple and easy to use.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 2 may include a sliding member 230, which is movably connected to the coil bracket 311, and the material of the sliding member 230 may be a metal member such as copper, aluminum or iron, so that it is easy to realize that after the electromagnetic coil 312 is energized, the sliding member 230 constructed as a metal member can be driven to move under the action of electromagnetic force, and then the locking rod 220 fixedly connected thereto can be driven by the sliding member 230 to pass through the housing 9 along its own axial direction, so as to realize the locking operation of the electronic lock.

[0036] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the elastic reset member 4 can be a spring disposed between the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311. In this way, by fixing the two ends of the spring to the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311 respectively, it is possible to make it possible for the sliding member 230 and the locking rod 220 thereon and the linkage plate structure 211 to move synchronously to the position as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The extended position shown, that is, the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position, wherein it should be noted that the spring is in an extended state at this time; and when, for example, the electromagnetic coil 312 is powered off, the spring automatically resets from the extended state to the initial length, so that the sliding member 230 and the locking rod 220 thereon and the linkage plate structure 211 can be automatically reset under the action of the spring, that is, the locking assembly 2 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, with a simple structure and high convenience in use.

[0037] In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the locking assembly 2 and the driving mechanism 3 into the housing 9 of the electronic lock, it should be noted that when the sliding member 230 is inserted into the coil bracket 311, the spring is at its initial length at this time, so that by operably pressing, for example, the linkage plate structure 211 of the locking assembly 2, the spring is in a compressed state, which makes it easier to install the locking assembly 2 and the driving mechanism 3 into the housing 9. After the locking rod 220 of the locking assembly 2 is inserted into the first opening 910 of the housing 9, the linkage plate structure 211 of the locking assembly 2 can be released, so that the spring can automatically recover from the compressed state to the initial length, thereby completing the installation operation of the locking assembly 2 and the driving mechanism 3 into the housing 9.

[0038] Of course, it should be noted that the specific external structure of the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311 is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. For example, the sliding member 230 may include, for example, a cylindrical sliding sleeve, and correspondingly, the coil support 311 may include a cylindrical connecting sleeve that can cooperate with the sliding sleeve, and a guide rod 231 is extended outward from one end of the sliding sleeve, and a guide hole 313 for sliding cooperation with the guide rod 231 is provided in the connecting sleeve, which is conducive to ensuring that the sliding member 230 can stably slide in the coil support 311. At the same time, for example, a spring sleeve is arranged on the guide rod 231, which can also improve the connection reliability between the spring and the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311. The overall structure is simple and easy to install and manufacture. Of course, the specific external structures of the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311 are exemplary. In other embodiments, the external structures of the sliding member 230 and the coil support 311 may also be constructed as matching rectangular or elliptical shapes, etc. Those skilled in the art may adaptively design according to actual application requirements, with the aim of stably inserting the sliding member 230 in the coil support 311 and enabling the sliding member 230 to move under the action of electromagnetic force after the electromagnetic coil 312 is energized. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0039] In addition, it should be noted that, in order to ensure a high reliability of connection between the locking rod 220 and the sliding member 230, in some embodiments, the locking rod 220 and the sliding member 230 may be connected by, for example, tight fit, and a limit ball 11 may be provided between the locking rod 220 and the sliding member 230, thereby ensuring a high reliability of connection between the locking rod 220 and the sliding member 230. Alternatively, the locking rod 220 and the sliding member 230 may also be constructed as one body, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0040] In addition, in some embodiments, the material of the coil bracket 311 can be a plastic part such as polyethylene or engineering plastic, so as to ensure that the coil bracket 311 has high insulation and ensure that the electronic lock can work stably.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the coil support 311 may be provided with a wear-resistant part 7 that is in sliding contact with the sliding part 230, thereby avoiding the problem of direct contact between the sliding part 230 constructed as, for example, a metal part and the coil support 311 constructed as, for example, a plastic part, causing wear of the coil support 311.

[0042] The wear-resistant part 7 may be, for example, an annular bushing structure adapted to the above-mentioned sliding sleeve and the connecting sleeve, and in order to ensure that the annular bushing has a high structural strength, the material may be, for example, stainless steel. Of course, the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wear-resistant part 7 is exemplary, and those skilled in the art may also design it adaptively according to actual application requirements, the purpose of which is to avoid the problem of direct contact between the sliding part 230 and the coil support 311 to cause wear of the coil support 311. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting structure 5 can also be provided on the locking assembly 2, and a limiting matching structure 6 is provided on the coil bracket 311. The limiting structure 5 and the limiting matching structure 6 cooperate to limit the moving direction of the locking assembly 2, which is beneficial to ensure the stable operation of the electronic lock.

[0044] The limiting structure 5 and the limiting matching structure 6 can be constructed in any suitable manner according to actual application requirements. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking assembly 2 may include a locking rod 220, the positioning portion 210 is a linkage plate structure 211 arranged on the locking rod 220, the limiting matching structure 6 includes a sliding rod 610 arranged on the coil bracket 311 and extending along the axial direction parallel to the locking rod 220, and the limiting structure 5 includes a through hole 510 arranged on the linkage plate structure 211 and slidingly matched with the sliding rod 610. The structure is simple and easy to install and manufacture.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the slide bars 610 can be arranged in pairs and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the locking bar 220 with respect to the axial direction of the locking bar 220, so as to further improve the reliability of the electronic lock.

[0046] Of course, the specific embodiments of the above-mentioned limiting structure 5 and limiting matching structure 6 are exemplary. In other embodiments not shown in the figure, the limiting structure 5 may also include, for example, a first limiting protrusion formed on one of the above-mentioned sliding sleeve and the connecting sleeve, and correspondingly, the limiting matching structure 6 may include a first limiting groove formed on the other and capable of matching with the first limiting protrusion, and the first limiting protrusion and the first limiting groove may be arranged in a plurality of intervals along the circumference of the sliding sleeve and the connecting sleeve, so as to ensure that the overall electronic lock has a higher reliability;

[0047] Alternatively, in some other embodiments not shown in the figure, the limiting structure 5 may further include, for example, a second limiting protrusion formed on the side wall surface of the linkage plate structure 211, and correspondingly, the limiting matching structure 6 may include a second limiting groove formed on the inner wall of the housing 9 and capable of matching with the second limiting protrusion. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0048] In addition, it should be noted that the specific appearance and structure of the locking rod 220 and the linkage plate structure 211 are not specifically limited in the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can design them adaptively according to actual application requirements. For example, the locking rod 220 can be Figure 1 The cylindrical shape shown in the figure, the linkage plate structure 211 can be a rectangular plate structure fixedly connected to the rod body of the cylindrical locking rod 220 by, for example, welding, and its purpose is to limit the lock of, for example, a charging gun (not shown in the figure) through the locking rod 220, and to connect with the first contact point 110 or the second contact point 120 of the position sensor 1 through the linkage plate structure 211 to detect the position of the locking assembly 2 through the position sensor 1. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0049] In addition, in order to ensure that the locking rod 220 and the linkage plate structure 211 have a long service life, the locking rod 220 and the linkage plate structure 211 can be made of, for example, stainless steel.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic lock may further include an unlocking member 8, which is used to drive the locking assembly 2 to move so that the locking assembly 2 is switched from a locked position to an unlocked position, wherein the unlocking member 8 may include a pull rope 810, one end of the pull rope 810 is fixedly connected to the positioning portion 210, that is, fixedly connected to the linkage plate structure 211, and the other end passes through the second opening 920 of the outer shell 9. In this way, the electronic lock can be unlocked by pulling the pull rope 810, which is highly convenient to use.

[0051] The material of the pull rope may be, for example, a plastic pull rope or a fiber pull rope, which not only ensures that the pull rope has a high strength, but also facilitates installation and arrangement due to its good bending properties, and is highly convenient to use.

[0052] In addition, it should be noted that since the locking rod 220 of the locking assembly 2 is movably inserted into the first opening 910 of the outer shell 9, and the positioning portion 210, the position sensor 1 and the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 are all located in the outer shell 9, the outer shell 9 can protect the internal components and ensure that each component can work stably.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the coil support 311 can be bonded to the housing 9 by, for example, glue filling, or, for example, a connecting protrusion can be formed on the inner wall surface of the housing 9, and a mounting groove structure for matching and connecting with the connecting protrusion can be adaptively formed on the coil support 311, so that the coil support 311 can be stably connected to the housing 9 by, for example, snap-fitting. Of course, the above-mentioned fixed connection methods of the coil support 311 and the housing 9 are all exemplary, and those skilled in the art can also design them adaptively according to actual application requirements, with the purpose of ensuring that the coil support 311 is stably connected to the housing 9. The present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an electronic connector 10 can also be provided on the housing 9, and the electronic connector 10 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 and the position sensor 1 respectively, so that not only can the electromagnetic coil assembly 310 and the position sensor 1 be powered by the electronic connector 10 respectively, but also the position signal of the locking assembly 2 detected by the position sensor 1 can be transmitted to, for example, a controller (not shown) via the electronic connector 10, so that it can be used to facilitate the driver to make a decision to draw the gun under the control of the controller through prompt operations such as voice prompts, so as to avoid the problem of being unable to draw the charging gun due to, for example, the locking assembly 2 not being fully withdrawn.

[0055] It should be noted that the above-mentioned controller can be, for example, a vehicle terminal, that is, for example, an automotive electronic control unit (ECU), or it can also be a separately arranged controller such as a single-chip microcomputer or a PLC. The corresponding control connection method and the corresponding signal transmission method of the above-mentioned controller can be implemented by a controller known in the art, and the present disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 1As shown, the housing 9 may include a cover body 930 and a shell body 940 that are detachably connected, and an inwardly concave groove structure 950 is formed on the outer wall surface of the shell body 940. In this way, a PCB board (not shown in the figure) is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the groove structure 950 located in the accommodating cavity 960 of the shell body 940, and the connecting pin 130 of the position sensor 1 is electrically connected to the PCB board, so that the position sensor 1 can be stably arranged in the shell body 940 with high reliability.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic connector 10 can be arranged on the cover 930, and can be electrically connected to the low-voltage pin of the position sensor 1 and the electromagnetic coil 312 of the electromagnetic coil assembly 310, for example, by means of a wire (not shown in the figure), so that power supply operation and signal transmission operation can be achieved through the electronic connector 10. Among them, the specific structure of the electronic connector 10 is not specifically limited in this disclosure, and its purpose is to be able to achieve power supply and signal transmission. Those skilled in the art can choose any well-known connector structure in the art, and this disclosure does not make specific limitations on this. In addition, those skilled in the art can also adaptively adjust the PIN pin of the connector according to actual application requirements to meet the actual control circuit connection requirements, and this disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the specific appearance structure and material of the housing 9 are not specifically limited in the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can design it adaptively according to actual application requirements. For example, the appearance structure of the housing 9 can be constructed as follows: Figure 1 The rectangular shape shown may also be configured as a cylindrical shape not shown in the figure. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0059] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle is also provided, comprising the above-mentioned electronic lock. The vehicle can avoid the problem of being unable to pull out the charging gun due to the locking component not being completely withdrawn by being provided with the above-mentioned electronic lock. In addition, the above-mentioned vehicle also has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned electronic lock, which will not be described in detail in the present disclosure.

[0060] It should be noted that the above-mentioned vehicle may be, for example, a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments, the present disclosure exemplarily describes the working process of the electronic lock, which is as follows:

[0062] Under the control of, for example, a controller, current is transmitted to the electromagnetic coil 312 through the electronic connector 10 to realize power supply operation. When the electromagnetic coil 312 is energized, it can drive the sliding member 230 to move under the action of electromagnetic force, and at the same time, the locking rod 220 and the linkage plate structure 211 are synchronously driven to move synchronously through the sliding member 230, so that the locking rod 220 can be extended to the outside of the housing 9, that is, the locking assembly 2 can be switched from the unlocked position to the locked position, so that the locking rod 220 can limit the lock of, for example, a charging gun (not shown in the figure) to avoid the problem of accidentally pulling out the charging gun; at the same time, when the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position, the linkage plate structure 211 can be connected with the first contact point 110 of the position sensor 1, so that the signal that the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position can be transmitted to the controller through the position sensor 1, so that under the control of the controller, the driver is reminded through a prompt operation such as a voice prompt that the locking assembly 2 is in the locked position at this time;

[0063] When the electromagnetic coil 312 is powered off, the spring automatically resets from the extended state to the initial length, thereby driving the sliding member 230, the locking rod 220 and the linkage plate structure 211 to reset, so that the locking rod 220 can be withdrawn into the housing 9, that is, the locking assembly 2 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position. At the same time, when the locking assembly 2 is in the unlocked position, the linkage plate structure 211 can be connected with the second contact point 120 of the position sensor 1, so that the signal that the locking assembly 2 is in the unlocked position can be transmitted to the controller through the position sensor 1, so that under the control of the controller, the driver can be reminded through prompt operations such as voice prompts that the locking assembly 2 is in the unlocked position at this time. In this way, the driver can pull out the charging gun again to avoid the problem of being unable to pull out the gun due to the locking rod 220 not being completely withdrawn. The overall structure is simple and easy to use.

[0064] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0065] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0066] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
