[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The following describes an off-vehicle power supply structure according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0027] The off-vehicle power supply structure of the embodiment of the utility model includes a rear cross beam 1, an exterior panel 2 and a decorative cover 3. The rear cross beam 1 is provided with a wire hole 111 for the wire harness 7 to pass through. The exterior panel 2 is connected to the top of the rear cross beam 1, and a receiving cavity for receiving the power supply connector 9 is defined between the exterior panel 2 and the rear cross beam 1. The receiving cavity is connected to the wire hole 111, and a power supply hole 21 connected to the receiving cavity is provided on the exterior panel 2. The decorative cover 3 is detachably connected to the exterior panel 2 and closes the power supply hole 21.

[0028] According to the off-vehicle power supply structure of the embodiment of the utility model, the in-vehicle wiring harness 7 can be extended into the accommodating cavity through the wire hole 111 and electrically connected to the power supply connector 9. Under the cover of the decorative cover 3, the power supply connector 9 is hidden in the accommodating cavity to ensure the waterproof performance of the power supply connector 9. When power is needed, it is only necessary to open the decorative cover 3, and the external electrical appliance can be electrically connected to the power supply connector 9 through the power supply hole 21 to complete the power supply function. In addition, the power supply connector 9 is set on the rear cross beam 1 of the roof, and there is no need to open the charging port to draw power, which can meet the power supply needs in the driving state and the parking state, and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios; there is no need to configure a luggage rack, and it is applicable to many car models, and the user experience is high.

[0029] It should be noted that the wiring harness 7 may also be first connected to the power connector 9, and then the wiring harness 7 passes through the wire hole 111 from top to bottom and enters the vehicle to be electrically connected to the power supply in the vehicle.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear cross beam 1 of the roof includes an upper plate 11 connected to the exterior panel 2. The upper plate 11 is provided with a wire hole 111. The upper surface of the upper plate 11 is recessed downward at the wire hole 111 to form a groove 112. The space of the groove 112 forms a receiving cavity.

[0031] That is, by recessing the upper plate 11 at the wire hole 111 to form a groove 112 for accommodating the power connector 9, there is no need to perform convex deformation on the outer decorative plate 2 at the wire hole 111, and the appearance of the outer decorative plate 2 is more beautiful.

[0032] Specifically, the upper plate 11 is a sheet metal, and the groove 112 can be formed by stamping, and the wire hole 111 is set on the bottom surface of the groove 112.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a notch 113 is formed on one side of the groove 112 , and the surface at the notch 113 is connected to the bottom surface of the groove 112 , and the surface at the notch 113 extends downwardly and obliquely relative to the bottom surface of the groove 112 .

[0034] Therefore, when the decorative cover 3 is in the open state and external rainwater enters the groove 112 through the power intake hole 21, it will automatically flow out from the notch 113, thereby effectively avoiding the accumulation of rainwater in the groove 112 and increasing the risk of rainwater entering the vehicle through the wire hole 111, thereby effectively ensuring the waterproof sealing effect of the external power intake structure.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the upper plate 11 is tilted downward from the front to the rear of the vehicle, and the thickness of the upper plate 11 is bent upward to form a water flow groove. The groove 112 and the notch 113 are both located in front of the water flow groove. Rainwater flowing into the groove 112 can flow directly out of the water flow groove along the notch 113 to achieve drainage operation, effectively preventing rainwater from accumulating in other positions of the vehicle body.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the off-vehicle power supply structure further includes a sealing strip 4 sandwiched between the upper plate 11 and the exterior panel 2 , and at least a portion of the sealing strip 4 surrounds the groove 112 and avoids the notch 113 .

[0037] The sealing strip 4 separates the gap between the upper plate 11 and the outer panel 2 and the groove 112, further ensuring the reliability of the connection sealing between the upper plate 11 and the outer panel 2, effectively preventing rainwater entering the gap between the upper plate 11 and the outer panel 2 from flowing into the groove 112, and further ensuring the waterproof sealing effect of the external power supply structure.

[0038] Specifically, the middle portion of the sealing strip 4 is generally U-shaped, and the middle portion is bonded to the outer edge of the groove 112 along the circumference of the groove 112, and the two end portions of the sealing strip 4 extend away from each other along the length direction of the rear cross beam 1 of the roof. The sealing strip 4 can be a rubber strip or a sealing structural adhesive, and the sealing structural adhesive realizes the bonding of the upper plate 11 and the exterior panel 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rear roof beam 1 also includes a lower plate 12, which is connected to the bottom of the upper plate 11. A chamber connected to the wire hole 111 is defined between the lower plate 12 and the upper plate 11. The lower plate 12 is provided with a mounting hole 121 connected to the chamber and for the wiring harness 7 to pass through.

[0040] That is, the rear cross beam 1 of the roof is generally a square beam, which effectively ensures the structural strength of the rear cross beam 1. At this time, by setting the mounting hole 121 on the lower plate 12, it is ensured that the wire harness 7 under the rear cross beam 1 of the roof passes through the cavity and the wire hole 111 to finally enter the groove 112, and it is also convenient for operators to complete the subsequent installation of the rubber sleeve 6 and the wire harness 7 through the mounting hole 121.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting hole 121 is much larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire-passing hole 111 , and the mounting hole 121 is substantially located directly below the wire-passing hole 111 .

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the off-vehicle power supply structure also includes an interior panel (not shown in the figure), which is connected below the lower panel 12, and a wire passage for accommodating the wire harness 7 is defined between the interior panel and the lower panel 12. A plurality of fasteners 5 are provided on the lower surface of the lower panel 12, and the plurality of fasteners 5 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the wire harness 7, and the plurality of fasteners 5 are fixedly connected to the wire harness 7.

[0043] That is, the wire harness 7 for power supply is hidden in the wire passage formed between the interior panel and the lower plate 12 of the rear cross beam 1 of the roof, effectively preventing the wire harness 7 from being exposed in the cabin and affecting the appearance of the vehicle. At the same time, multiple fasteners 5 limit the wire harness 7 on the lower plate 12, effectively preventing the wire harness 7 from shaking and making noise when the vehicle is driving.

[0044] Specifically, the fastener 5 can be any one of a clamp, a cable tie and a clip.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the off-vehicle power supply structure also includes a sealing ring 8 , which is sandwiched between the decorative cover 3 and the exterior decorative panel 2 .

[0046] The sealing ring 8 effectively ensures the sealing reliability of the connection between the decorative cover 3 and the outer decorative panel 2 , and effectively prevents external rainwater from entering the groove 112 through the gap between the decorative cover 3 and the outer decorative panel 2 .

[0047] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a limiting step is provided at the bottom of the power-intake hole 21, and the sealing ring 8 and the decorative cover 3 are sequentially fitted in the power-intake hole 21 from top to bottom. After the decorative cover 3 is connected to the outer decorative panel 2, the sealing ring 8 is sandwiched between the limiting step and the decorative cover 3. In addition, after the decorative cover 3 is installed on the outer decorative panel 2, the upper surface of the decorative cover 3 is smoothly connected with the upper surface of the outer decorative panel 2, thereby further ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

[0048] In some embodiments, the decorative cover 3 is snap-fitted to the outer decorative panel 2 , and / or the decorative cover 3 is pivotally connected to the outer decorative panel 2 .

[0049] That is, the decorative cover 3 can only be connected to the outer decorative panel 2. When the decorative cover 3 needs to be opened, a certain force is applied to the decorative cover 3 to completely separate the decorative cover 3, so as to completely expose the power supply hole 21, which is convenient for the power supply operation of the external electrical appliance. Alternatively, the decorative cover 3 can be pivotally connected to the outer decorative panel 2 at one end and connected to the outer decorative panel 2 at the other end, thereby ensuring that the decorative cover 3 will not be separated from the outer decorative panel 2 when the decorative cover 3 is opened, effectively reducing the probability of the decorative cover 3 being lost.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the off-vehicle power supply structure further includes a rubber sleeve 6 , which is interference-fitted in the wire hole 111 , and the wiring harness 7 is interference-fitted in the rubber sleeve 6 .

[0051] That is, the rubber sleeve 6 is clamped between the inner wall surface of the wire hole 111 and the outer wall surface of the wiring harness 7, thereby effectively preventing rainwater entering the groove 112 from entering the vehicle through the gap between the inner wall surface of the wire hole 111 and the outer wall surface of the wiring harness 7, further ensuring the appearance of the external power supply structure of the vehicle.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, an annular groove is provided on the outer circumference of the rubber sleeve 6. After the rubber sleeve 6 is fitted in the wire hole 111, the portion of the upper plate 11 forming the wire hole 111 is fitted in the annular groove.

[0053] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model includes an off-vehicle power supply structure as in any of the above embodiments.
