Due to the limitations of shape, layout, structure and other reasons, water will accumulate in the internal space of most charging port covers.

[0003] In order to discharge the accumulated water in the charging port cover in time and smoothly, the bottom of the cabin of the existing charging port cover is usually provided with a long drainage hose, one end of the drainage hose is connected to the bottom of the cabin of the charging port cover, and the other end is connected to the wheel hub sheet metal through a sealing component and sealed and fixed. In order to ensure the reliability of the drainage process, additional components are required to fix the two ends of the drainage hose during assembly and connection. This form of drainage structure requires a large installation space and has more assembly steps, and has the problem of complex structure and difficult assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a charging port cover assembly and a vehicle, which solve the problem that the drainage structure of the existing charging port cover is relatively complex and difficult to assemble.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging port cover assembly for assembly and connection with a fuel filler port or a charging port of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a side outer panel and a wheel hub cover panel, the side outer panel has an installation position corresponding to the fuel filler port or the charging port, and the wheel hub cover panel is provided with a through hole corresponding to the installation position, and the charging port cover assembly comprises: a main body, suitable for being set at the installation position, the main body having an accommodating cavity for accommodating the fuel filler port or the charging port; a drainage component, connected to a side of the main body close to the wheel hub cover panel, the drainage component is provided with a drainage channel corresponding to the through hole, the drainage channel is connected to the accommodating cavity, the wheel hub cover panel is located at a position around the through hole to form an abutment position, the main body abuts and cooperates with the abutment position through the drainage component to form a seal, and water in the drainage channel flows out through the through hole.

[0007] Beneficial effect: A drainage component is arranged on the main body, and the drainage channel inside the drainage component is connected with the accommodating cavity. When the charging port cover assembly is assembled, the drainage component moves together with the main body, and directly abuts with the abutting position of the wheel hub cover plate, so that the accumulated water in the drainage channel can be directly discharged out of the vehicle through the through hole. At this time, the installation process of the charging port cover assembly can be completed by assembling and connecting the main body with the side outer panel, which effectively shortens the length of the drainage component and simplifies the structure, and also eliminates the connecting parts between the drainage component and the wheel hub cover plate, simplifies the installation steps, and effectively solves the problem that the drainage structure of the existing charging port cover is relatively complicated and difficult to assemble.

[0014] In a possible implementation of the present application, the drain pipe is penetrated through the wheel hub cover plate through a through hole.

[0015] Beneficial effect: The drainage pipe arranged in this form can directly send the accumulated water to the outside of the hub cover plate, which can prevent the accumulated water from entering the space between the side outer plate and the hub cover plate, and can also reduce the external accumulated water from entering the accommodating cavity along the drainage pipe.

[0016] In a possible implementation of the present application, the abutment includes a mating section and a sealing section. The mating section is connected to the main body and has a through hole for the drainage pipe to pass through. One end of the sealing section is connected to the mating section, and the other end is suitable for abutting against the wheel hub cover plate.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0040] Combine the following Figures 1 to 7 , describing an embodiment of the present application.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a charging port cover assembly is provided, which is used for being assembled and connected with the fuel port or charging port of a vehicle, the vehicle includes a side outer panel 3 and a wheel hub cover plate 4, the side outer panel 3 has an installation position corresponding to the fuel port or charging port, the wheel hub cover plate 4 is provided with a through hole 401 corresponding to the installation position, the charging port cover assembly includes: a main body 1 and a drainage component 2, the main body 1 is suitable for being set at the installation position, the main body 1 has an accommodating cavity 101 for accommodating the fuel port or charging port; the drainage component 2 is connected to a side of the main body 1 close to the wheel hub cover plate 4, the drainage component 2 is provided with a drainage channel 201 corresponding to the through hole 401, the drainage channel 201 is connected with the accommodating cavity 101, the wheel hub cover plate 4 is located at the periphery of the through hole 401 to form an abutment position, the main body 1 abuts and cooperates with the abutment position through the drainage component 2 to form a seal, and the water in the drainage channel 201 flows out through the through hole 401.

[0042] The charging port cover assembly of the present embodiment is applied, and a drainage component 2 is provided on the main body 1. The drainage channel 201 inside the drainage component 2 is connected with the accommodating chamber 101. When the charging port cover assembly is assembled, the drainage component 2 moves together with the main body 1 and directly abuts with the abutment position of the wheel hub cover plate 4. Then, the accumulated water in the drainage channel 201 can be directly discharged out of the vehicle through the through hole 401. At this time, the main body 1 is assembled and connected with the side outer panel 3 to complete the installation process of the charging port cover assembly, which effectively shortens the length of the drainage component 2 and simplifies the structure. At the same time, the connecting parts between the drainage component 2 and the wheel hub cover plate 4 are omitted, thereby simplifying the installation steps and effectively solving the problem that the drainage structure of the existing charging port cover is relatively complex and difficult to assemble.

[0043] It should be noted that the abutment position refers to the position used for abutment and cooperation with other components; the installation position of the side outer panel 3 refers to the installation position for installing the charging port cover assembly, and the structure at the installation position can be flexibly selected according to needs and is not strictly limited here.

[0044] In the related art, since the through hole 401 of the wheel hub cover plate 4 is not arranged corresponding to the installation position of the side outer panel 3, the charging port cover needs to be connected to the through hole 401 of the wheel hub cover plate 4 through a longer hose. The hose in this drainage form not only has a longer drainage path, but also the soft material is easy to bend and cause blockage, resulting in poor drainage performance of the overall structure.

[0045] The charging port cover assembly of the present embodiment arranges the through hole 401 of the wheel hub cover plate 4 corresponding to the mounting position of the side outer plate 3. The through hole 401 is located in the upper area of ​​the vehicle tire, and the drainage requirement can be met by using a drainage component 2 with a shorter overall length. At the same time, since the drainage component 2 is shorter in length, the length of the drainage channel 201 inside it is also shorter, and the drainage component 2 is not easy to bend and clog, and the accumulated water in the accommodating cavity 101 can be quickly and effectively discharged to the outside of the vehicle, thereby effectively improving the drainage reliability of the accommodating cavity 101.

[0046] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, there is no limitation on the connection method between the main body 1 and the drainage component 2. It can be two separate components connected by fastening components, welding, etc., or it can be an integral component that is integrally formed, which can be flexibly selected.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the drainage assembly 2 includes an abutment 202 and a drainage pipe 203. The main body 1 abuts against the hub plate 4 through the abutment 202. The drainage pipe 203 passes through the abutment 202 and has a drainage channel 201. The abutment 202 can form an effective seal at the abutment position to prevent accumulated water from entering the space between the side outer panel 3 and the hub plate 4. The drainage pipe 203 can discharge the accumulated water directly through the through hole 401 to prevent the accumulated water from contacting the abutment 202. The overall structure is simple and reliable.

[0048] It should be noted that, in some other implementations, only the abutment member 202 may be provided without providing the drainage pipe 203 , and a drainage channel 201 is formed inside the abutment member 202 , so that the drainage function can be achieved while abutting and sealing.

[0049] There is no limitation on the connection method between the abutment member 202 and the drainage pipe 203 , and they may be fixedly connected via a connection member, or may be fixedly connected via a snap-fit, plug-in or other structure.

[0050] For example, Figure 6 As shown, a drain port 102 is provided at the lowest position of the accommodating chamber 101 , and the accommodating chamber 101 is connected with the drain channel 201 of the drain pipe 203 through the drain port 102 to ensure that all the accumulated water in the accommodating chamber 101 can be drained.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body 1 and the abutment 202 are an integrated structure. In this form, no independent connecting parts are required to connect the main body 1 and the abutment 202, which can reduce the steps during assembly. At the same time, there are fewer seams between the main body 1 and the abutment 202, which can effectively prevent accumulated water from entering the space between the side outer panel 3 and the wheel hub cover plate 4 through the seams between the two components.

[0052] There is no limitation on the molding method of the main body 1 and the abutment member 202 , and the two can be molded into an integrated structure at one time, or can be connected to form an integrated structure by welding or other methods.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the abutment 202 is an elastic member, and the abutment 202 has an initial state in which it is not abutted against the wheel hub plate 4, and a sealed state in which it abuts against the wheel hub plate 4 and at least a portion of it is elastically deformed. This form of abutment 202 has a better sealing effect. After the abutment 202 abuts against the wheel hub plate 4, it can continue to be in close contact with the abutment position under the action of its own elastic force, thereby ensuring the sealing reliability.

[0054] It should be noted that the abutment 202 is an elastic member, which means that at least a part of the abutment 202 is elastic. The abutment 202 as a whole may be elastic, or the part where the abutment 202 and the abutment position cooperate may be elastic, as long as the sealing reliability can be improved.

[0055] Specifically, the abutment member 202 is made of soft rubber material, and can form an effective seal after abutting against the hub cover plate 4 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the drain pipe 203 is penetrated through the through hole 401 in the hub plate 4. The drain pipe 203 arranged in this form can directly send the accumulated water to the outside of the hub plate 4, which can prevent the accumulated water from entering the space between the side outer plate 3 and the hub plate 4, and can also reduce the external accumulated water from reversely entering the accommodating cavity 101 along the drain pipe 203.

[0057] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the through hole 401 is larger than the outer diameter of the drain pipe 203 so that the drain pipe 203 can be quickly inserted into the through hole 401 during assembly.

[0058] It should be noted that the aperture of the through hole 401 may also be equal to the outer diameter of the drain pipe 203, or the through hole 401 and the drain pipe 203 may be interference fit. This kind of fit can reduce the amount of external water that enters the space between the side outer panel 3 and the hub cover plate 4 through the through hole 401.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the abutment 202 includes a mating section 2021 and a sealing section 2022. The mating section 2021 is connected to the main body 1 and has a through hole 20211 for the water supply and drainage pipe 203 to pass through. One end of the sealing section 2022 is connected to the mating section 2021, and the other end is suitable for abutting against the wheel hub plate 4. The structure is simple and reliable, and is easy to process and manufacture.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the sealing section 2022 is trumpet-shaped with its opening facing the hub cover plate 4 . This type of sealing section 2022 has better sealing reliability when abutting against the hub cover plate 4 .

[0061] Specifically, the trumpet shape of the sealing section 2022 can be a cone-shaped trumpet shape, or a trumpet shape that gradually bends outward and has an arc, which can be flexibly selected.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the drain pipe 203 and the perforation 20211 are interference fit, which can not only fix the position of the drain pipe 203 in the perforation 20211, but also maintain a sealed state between the drain pipe 203 and the perforation 20211 to prevent water leakage.

[0063] Exemplarily, the drain pipe 203 is formed of a hard material, including but not limited to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), etc. The size range of the drain pipe 203 is an outer diameter of 6.5-7.5 mm, an inner diameter of 3.5-4.5 mm, and a length of 50 to 80 mm. The size of the drain pipe 203 is preferably an outer diameter of 7 mm, an inner diameter of 4 mm, and a length of 65 mm.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the drain pipe 203 close to the main body 1 is folded outward to form a platform 2031, and the mating section 2021 is located at the periphery of the perforation 20211 to form a slot 20212 that cooperates with the platform 2031. The platform 2031 cooperates with the slot 20212 to effectively prevent the drain pipe 203 from moving in a direction away from the main body 1, thereby preventing the drain pipe 203 from falling out.

[0065] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, a stopper 20213 is also provided at the edge of the opening of the slot 20212 to prevent the drain pipe 203 from escaping from the slot 20212 . Preferably, the stoppers 20213 are arranged at intervals along the opening contour of the slot 20212 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the charging port cover assembly further includes a cover body 5, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cover body 5 is swingably disposed at the opening of the accommodating cavity 101 of the main body 1 .

[0067] The following is a description of the assembly process of the charging port cover assembly of this embodiment:

[0068] Insert the drain pipe 203 into the abutment 202, and insert the base 2031 of the drain pipe 203 into the slot 20212 of the matching section 2021; place the main body 1 into the corresponding installation position of the side outer panel 3, and at the same time, pass the drain pipe 203 into the through hole 401 of the hub package plate 4; continue to push the main body 1 into the installation position, and abut the sealing section 2022 of the abutment 202 against the periphery of the through hole 401 of the hub package plate 4; assemble and connect the main body 1 and the side outer panel 3, and the assembly is completed.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the other hand, a vehicle is provided, which includes: a vehicle body and the above-mentioned charging port cover assembly, the vehicle body includes a side outer panel 3 and a wheel hub cover plate 4, the side outer panel 3 has an installation position, the wheel hub cover plate 4 is provided with a through hole 401 corresponding to the installation position, the charging port cover assembly is provided at the installation position corresponding to the through hole 401, and the charging port cover assembly is abutted and matched with the wheel hub cover plate 4.

[0070] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large car, a small car, a special-purpose car, etc. For example, according to the car model, the car in this application may be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or other models. Generally, a vehicle is provided with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, so that the wheels rotate, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.
