Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to an automobile cover plate structure. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use batteries as a power source. Such vehicles rely entirely on battery packs for power, do not require fuel engines, and have zero emissions and low noise, making important contributions to environmental protection. The drive motors of new energy vehicles mostly use AC asynchronous motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors, which are powered by power batteries. New energy vehicles mainly include the following categories: Pure electric vehicles: Use built-in batteries as the only power source. The cruising range is affected by the battery capacity and is suitable for short-distance travel and medium- and low-distance driving. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV): These vehicles have both internal combustion engines and electric motors, and can achieve two modes of pure electric driving and internal combustion engine driving. When the battery power is insufficient, it can be charged through an external power supply. Fuel cell vehicle (FCEV): Uses hydrogen as fuel, and converts hydrogen and oxygen into electricity through fuel cells to supply electric motors to drive the vehicle. Fuel cell vehicles have the characteristics of zero emissions, short refueling time, and long cruising range, but the current cost is relatively high. Solar car: Uses solar energy as the main energy source, stores part of the electricity in batteries or power batteries, and uses it to drive the vehicle. Although this type of car has a limited range, it can be effectively charged using solar energy in outdoor environments. In recent years, the Chinese government has strongly supported the development of the new energy vehicle industry and introduced a series of preferential policies, such as exemption from purchase tax, subsidies for car purchases, and free license plates, to encourage consumers to buy and use new energy vehicles. At the same time, major manufacturers have also launched various types of new energy vehicles to meet the needs of different consumers. In the future, with the advancement of battery technology, the improvement of charging facilities, and the adjustment of relevant policies, new energy vehicles will become one of the mainstream means of transportation.

[0003] The charging port cover is installed on the charging port to protect the internal circuit and prevent water from splashing into the charging port. It is usually made of conductive materials to ensure good conductivity. At the same time, the cover should have good sealing to prevent dust, impurities, water and other substances from entering the charging port. The design and selection of the charging port cover should take many factors into consideration. First, it is necessary to ensure that the cover can completely cover and seal the charging port to prevent water from splashing in. Secondly, the material of the cover should have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term use. In addition, the size and shape of the cover also need to be adapted to the size and shape of the charging port for easy installation and use. In some public places, such as parking lots, charging stations, etc., the design and selection of the charging port cover is particularly important. If the design of the charging port cover is unreasonable, it may cause users to encounter various problems during use, such as failure to charge normally, slow charging speed, etc. Therefore, the design and selection of a suitable charging port cover is the key to ensuring safe and fast charging of electric vehicles.

[0004] Existing charging covers are all hinged on the vehicle body, which requires a large space when the cover is opened and is inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 In this embodiment, a car cover structure is proposed, which is used to be modified on the car body to protect the fuel inlet or charging port of the car. The car cover structure may include:

[0031] The mounting shell 4 is mounted inside the vehicle body and corresponds to the position of the opening opened on the vehicle body panel 1, and forms a mounting cavity. The vehicle body panel 1 is the surface of the vehicle body, and the opening is an open notch structure opened on the vehicle body panel 1. The opening can be a rectangular, circular or other structure, which can be set according to actual needs. The vehicle body panel 1 is the epidermis structure of the vehicle body, and the details are not repeated here. The charging port 5 or the refueling port is mounted on the mounting shell 4 and is inside the cavity. Specifically, a fixing ring can be connected to the charging line or the refueling pipe, and the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 4. Specifically, a through hole is opened on the mounting shell 4, and the charging line or the refueling pipe is fixedly connected to the fixing ring. The charging port 5 or the refueling port passes through the through hole, and the fixing ring is fixed to the mounting shell 4 by screws or bonding, thereby completing the fixed installation of the charging port 5 or the refueling port. The mounting shell 4 can be an aluminum alloy structure or other materials, and can be fixedly connected to the connecting surface of the vehicle body panel 1 by screws. The connecting surface of the vehicle body panel 1 is the opposite surface of the vehicle surface, and the details are not repeated here.

[0032] The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and can also be installed on the mounting shell 4. The rotating shaft 12 is generally arranged vertically and rotates through the end of the open mouth, so that the charging plug or the refueling gun can be given way to avoid operational interference. Of course, a horizontal arrangement is not excluded, and the details are not repeated here.

[0033] The cover plate 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 12 via a connecting rod 11. The structural shape of the cover plate 2 needs to match the open mouth. When the cover plate 2 covers the open mouth, it needs to form a smooth structure with the surface of the body panel 1, so as to increase the aesthetics. The outer edge of the open mouth can be provided with a circle of grooves. When the cover plate 2 covers the open mouth, the edge of the cover plate 2 can be embedded in the grooves, and the surface of the cover plate 2 forms a surface with the surface of the body panel 1, so as to increase the aesthetics of the automobile cover structure. The connecting rod 11 can be an L-shaped structure. Since the rotating shaft 12 cannot be installed on the outer surface of the body panel 1, it must be installed inside the body, so there will be a position difference on the vertical plane of the body panel 1. The connecting rod 11 includes a vertical feed portion and a parallel feed portion. The vertical feed portion is used to compensate for the position difference in the vertical direction of the body panel 1 when the cover 2 is opened and closed; the parallel feed portion is used to compensate for the position difference in the parallel direction of the body panel 1 when the cover 2 is opened and closed; when the cover 2 is opened, the cover 2 needs to be on the outside of the body panel 1, so there will be a position difference perpendicular to the surface of the body panel 1. When the cover 2 is closed, the cover 2 needs to be embedded in the inside of the body panel 1, and this position difference needs to be compensated. The position difference of the cover 2 on the vertical surface of the body panel 1 can be compensated by the connecting rod 11. The number of the connecting rods 11 can be two, so that the cover 2 has good connection stability and can avoid the position of the charging port 5. The connecting rod 11 may include an L-shaped rod 15 and a cover connecting rod 16. One end of the L-shaped rod 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12, and includes a transverse portion and a longitudinal portion. The transverse portion can compensate for the position difference on the vertical plane of the body panel 1 when the cover 2 is opened and closed, and the longitudinal portion is used to change the position difference of the cover 2 on the parallel plane of the body panel 1. One end of the cover connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the other end of the L-shaped rod 15, and the other end of the cover connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the cover 2. The cover connecting rod 16 may be a T-shaped structure, so that its connection is stable and easy to install. When the cover 2 is in an open state, the L-shaped rod 15 and the cover connecting rod 16 form a Z-shaped structure, at which the transverse portion faces the outside of the body panel 1, and the length of the transverse portion is the distance between the cover 2 and the body panel 1, so that the cover 2 is on the outside of the body panel 1, so as to facilitate refueling or charging operations. When the cover 2 is closed, the transverse portion faces the inside of the body panel 1, and the cover 2 is embedded in the open mouth and covers the cavity. The rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a multi-faceted portion 13, the number of which corresponds to the number of connecting rods 11. The rotating shaft 12 and the multi-faceted portion 13 can be integrally arranged, and the transverse portion of the L-shaped rod 15 is fixedly connected to a connecting base 14, which can be nested on the multi-faceted portion 13 and then fixedly connected by screws, making it convenient to fix the connecting rod 11.The rotating shaft 12 can be rotatably connected to the vehicle body panel 1 via the bearing 9, which can greatly reduce the rotational friction of the rotating shaft 12, and the details are not repeated here.

[0034] The driving member 3 is installed inside the vehicle body and connected to the rotating shaft 12, and is used to drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the cover plate 2 is closed and opened. The driving member 3 may include a motor 7 and a transmission member 8. The motor 7 is installed inside the vehicle body and outputs power through a reduction structure. The motor 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 12 through the transmission member 8. The transmission member 8 may be a pulley structure or a gear structure, and the details are not repeated here. When the cover plate 2 is opened and closed with the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, due to the limitation of the vehicle body panel 1, the cover plate 2 will rotate on the connecting rod 11, so that the cover plate 2 is always parallel to the surface of the vehicle body panel 1 or at a small angle, avoiding the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, thereby reducing the operating space of the cover plate 2 and facilitating use. The end of the cover plate 2 is rotatably provided with a roller 10. The setting of the roller 10 can reduce the friction between the cover plate 2 and the vehicle body panel 1, avoiding scratches on the vehicle body panel 1, and the outer surface of the roller 10 can be provided with a buffer layer, so that the vehicle body panel 1 can be protected.

[0035] The controller 6 can be arranged on the body panel 1 or on the control panel of the car. The controller 6 is electrically connected to the driving member 3, and the controller 6 can alternately control the forward and reverse rotation of the driving member 3. When the controller 6 is arranged on the body panel 1, the key control structure can also be used, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The rotating shaft 12 is connected to a sensor, which is used to sense the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 12. The sensor is electrically connected to the driving member 3. When the sensor senses that the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 12 is greater than a preset standard force, the driving member 3 stops driving. The sensor can be a torque sensor, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The driving member 3 can also be controlled by a cylinder, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
