Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0034] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in the form of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The utility model relates to a vehicle charging socket bracket, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a protective cover 1 and a connecting bracket 2, each of which is made of cast steel; the connecting bracket 2 has a fixed end 3 connected to the vehicle body 14 and a connecting end 4 detachably connected to the protective cover 1; a protective cover 1 mounting position for mounting the protective cover 1 is provided in the connecting end 4, and a socket mounting position for mounting a charging socket is provided in the protective cover 1.

[0036] The fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2 has a solid structure to enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14; the connecting end 4 of the connecting bracket 2 is a plate-like structure, and the connecting end 4 of the connecting bracket 2 is used to support the connecting protective cover 1, which is detachably connected to the vehicle body 14 through the connecting bracket 2, and the protective cover 1 is detachably connected to the vehicle body 14. The protective cover 1 has a socket mounting position for installing a charging socket, which is convenient for installing the charging socket in the protective cover 1. The protective cover 1 can be used to install the charging socket and protect the charging socket; when it is necessary to charge the vehicle and park the vehicle near the charging pile, the staff pulls out the charging gun 12 on the charging pile and docks it with the charging socket in the charging socket bracket to achieve electrical connection between the charging socket and the charging gun 12, and the charging pile is charged through The electric gun 12 and the docked charging socket supply power to the vehicle; due to frequent operation, the charging socket bracket is subject to varying degrees of wear and tear, and therefore needs to be replaced and repaired in a timely and regular manner. Due to the traditional sheet metal structure, the structural rigidity is insufficient and easy to deform, and it is fixed to the vehicle body 14 by one-piece molding and welding, which makes it non-removable and inconvenient to replace. When deformation occurs, it needs to be completely removed. The charging socket bracket made of sheet metal structure needs to go through blanking, stamping, and welding molds before it can be mass-produced, which not only increases the production difficulty and production cost, but also is not conducive to mass production. Therefore, the present application proposes a vehicle charging socket bracket, which can not only achieve lightweight but also improve rigidity. The detachable connection between the bracket 2 and the protective cover 1 can facilitate assembly and replacement, thereby reducing costs and achieving mass production.

[0037] The present application adopts a protective cover 1 and a connecting bracket 2 made of cast steel, avoiding the problems of insufficient strength, easy deformation and poor durability of the traditional integrated structure using sheet metal welding, enhancing the strength of the connecting bracket 2 and the protective cover 1, greatly improving the rigidity of the charging bracket, improving the operational stability of the user when charging and plugging in the charging gun 12, not easy to deform, and improving the wear resistance;

[0038] The protective cover 1 of the charging socket bracket can play a role in fixing the charging socket; the connecting bracket 2 is provided with a fixed end 3 connected to the vehicle body 14, and the fixed end 3 is connected to the vehicle body 14. The connecting bracket 2 is provided with a connecting end 4 that is detachable from the protective cover 1, which can not only play the role of the connecting bracket 2 supporting the protective cover 1 but also play the role of being detachable from the protective cover 1, so that when one of the connecting bracket 2 or the protective cover 1 is damaged, they can be disassembled separately, avoiding the traditional integrated structure formed by sheet metal welding. When one of the components is damaged, it is necessary to disassemble all of them, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and increases labor intensity. The present application adopts a detachable manner to achieve detachable connection between the connecting bracket 2 and the protective cover 1 and between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14, so that the charging socket bracket is easy to replace and maintain, easy to combine and assemble, and can be mass-produced, saving costs and enhancing the service life of the charging socket bracket.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2 has a protrusion 5, and the protrusion 5 is provided with at least one mounting hole 6 that passes through the connecting bracket 2 along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2. The connecting bracket 2 can be fastened to the vehicle body 14 by passing a first connecting member through the mounting hole 6.

[0040] The connection between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14 is to make the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14 compatible and enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14, a protrusion 5 is provided at the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2, and at least one mounting hole 6 is provided on the protrusion 5, and the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14 are connected by installing a first connecting member through the mounting hole 6. When the connecting bracket 2 is damaged, the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14 can be separated directly by disassembling the first connecting member, the second connecting member described below, and the third connecting member described below, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the connecting bracket 2, thereby further improving the service life of the connecting bracket 2.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection end 4 of the connection bracket 2 has support plates 15 protruding from the surface of the connection bracket 2 on both sides perpendicular to the extension direction of the connection bracket 2 on one side facing the protective cover 1 .

[0042] The purpose of the connecting end 4 of the connecting bracket 2 having a support plate 15 protruding toward the protective cover 1 is to facilitate the fixed installation of the protective cover 1 between the support plates 15 on both sides. The support plates 15 on both sides can support the two side surfaces of the protective cover 1, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the connecting bracket 2 and the protective cover 1, preventing the protective cover 1 from shifting in the connecting bracket 2, ensuring that the protective cover 1 can stably support the charging socket, and further improving the service life of the connecting bracket 2 and the protective cover 1.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, a protective cover 1 installation position for installing the protective cover 1 is formed between the support plates 15. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the installation position of the protective cover 1 has a first connecting hole 7 for connecting the protective cover 1 , and a second connecting piece is passed through the first connecting hole 7 to fasten the support plate 15 to the side end of the protective cover 1 .

When in use, the protective cover 1 is directly extended between the support plates 15 on both sides, and the second connecting member is passed through the first connecting hole 7 to connect the connecting bracket 2 with the protective cover 1. When one of the protective cover 1 or the connecting bracket 2 is damaged, the first connecting member and the second connecting member and the third connecting member described below are removed, and then one of them can be replaced or repaired. Through the detachable connection method, the connecting bracket 2 and the protective cover 1 are easy to assemble and repair, and the service life is further improved.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the support plates 15 are respectively provided with second connection holes 8 for connecting the protective cover 1 , and third connection members are passed through the second connection holes 8 , which can fasten the two ends of the protective cover 1 perpendicular to the extension direction of the protective cover 1 to the support plates 15 .

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 15 has a second connecting hole 8 for connecting to the protective cover 1, and the second connecting hole 8 is used to install a third connecting member. When in use, the third connecting member is installed in the second connecting hole 8 to fasten the support plate 15 and the two side surfaces of the protective cover 1, thereby increasing the connection strength between the support plate 15 and the connecting bracket 2 and realizing the detachability between the support plate 15 and the connecting bracket 2.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 1 has an installation cavity 9 for installing the charging socket, a plug-in frame for connecting the charging socket is connected to the installation cavity 9, and a plug-in hole for adapting to the charging socket is provided in the plug-in frame.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a schematic diagram of one structure of the protective cover 1, in this embodiment, the protective cover 1 is designed as a hollow block structure, the three sides of the protective cover 1 wrap the charging socket, and a groove connected to the outside is opened at the bottom end of the protective cover 1, and the groove forms an installation channel for installing the charging cable 13 and the charging socket. When in use, the charging socket is installed in the plug-in frame in the installation cavity 9 along the installation channel, and the charging socket can be plugged into the plug-in hole of the plug-in frame. Further, bolt holes can be set around the plug-in hole of the plug-in frame, and the charging socket is fixedly connected to the plug-in frame by passing bolts through the bolt holes.

[0049] The present application does not impose any specific limitation on the structure of the plug-in rack, and any of the following implementations may be adopted:

[0050] Embodiment 1: The plug-in frame includes a connecting plate, which protrudes from the side wall around at least two sides of the mounting cavity 9, and the interior of the connecting plate is formed with a plug hole for connecting the charging socket. The shell corresponding to the charging socket on the connecting plate has a bolt hole for connecting the shell of the charging socket, and the shell of the charging socket is connected to the connecting plate by bolts inserted into the bolt holes, so that the charging socket is fixedly connected to the mounting cavity 9 of the protective cover 1.

[0051] Embodiment 2: The plug-in frame includes a fixing plate, which is connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 1 in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the protective cover 1. The fixing plate is a rectangular structure and a circular plug-in hole for connecting the charging socket is provided in the center of the fixing plate. Bolt holes are arranged at intervals in the outer circumferential direction of the plug-in hole of the fixing plate. When in use, the shell of the charging socket is connected to the fixing plate by inserting bolts into the bolt holes, so that the charging socket is fixedly connected to the installation cavity 9 of the protective cover 1.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting bracket 2 includes a first connecting bracket 2 and a second connecting bracket 2 , and the first connecting bracket 2 and the second connecting bracket 2 are telescopically connected along the extending direction of the connecting bracket 2 .

[0053] The connecting bracket 2 includes a first connecting bracket 2 and a second connecting bracket 2. The second connecting bracket 2 is plugged into the first connecting bracket 2, and the second connecting bracket 2 can be extended and retracted in the extension direction relative to the first connecting bracket 2. Specifically, a plurality of first positioning holes are arranged in the extension direction along the length direction of the first connecting bracket 2, and a plurality of second positioning holes are arranged in the extension direction along the length direction of the second connecting bracket 2. Through the docking of the first positioning holes and the second positioning holes, the relative position between the first connecting bracket 2 and the second connecting bracket 2 can be adjusted. When the length of the first connecting bracket 2 and the second connecting bracket 2 needs to be lengthened, after the second connecting bracket 2 is pulled out of the first connecting bracket 2 to reach a predetermined length, the corresponding first positioning holes and the second positioning holes are matched and then fastened by bolts, thereby realizing the adjustable length between the first connecting bracket 2 and the second connecting bracket 2.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are a plurality of staggered weight-reducing holes 10 along the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2 ; the weight-reducing holes 10 penetrate in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2 .

[0055] The connecting bracket 2 has a plurality of weight-reducing holes 10 in the extending direction. The shape of the weight-reducing holes 10 is not limited by the present embodiment and may have a variety of styles, such as the triangle used in the present application, or a square or a circle. The present application adopts the triangular weight-reducing holes 10, and the weight-reducing holes 10 are staggered along the extending direction of the connecting bracket 2, such as Figure 1 As described, the first weight-reducing hole 10 near the fixed end 3 along the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2 is in the shape of an upright triangle, the second weight-reducing hole 10 is in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the third weight-reducing hole 10 is in the shape of an upright triangle, and so on, to achieve weight-reducing holes 10 staggered along the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2. The purpose of setting the weight-reducing holes 10 is to reduce the weight of the entire connecting bracket 2 and to ensure that the strength and rigidity of the connecting bracket 2 are not affected. Through CAE analysis, and the application can reasonably design the casting structure, the application improves the rigidity of the overall charging socket without increasing the weight of the product through a large number of lightweight and weight-reducing structural designs.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2 has a weight-reducing mounting hole 11 , and the weight-reducing mounting hole 11 is opened along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting bracket 2 and communicates with the weight-reducing hole 10 .

[0057] The weight-reducing mounting hole 11 is close to the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2. In order to further increase the weight-reducing design of the connecting bracket 2, compared with the traditional sheet metal structure, the lightweight design of the connecting bracket 2 is further improved without increasing the overall weight. The weight-reducing mounting hole 11 is located at Figure 2 The upper and lower sides of the connecting bracket 2 are in the orientation shown, and the weight-reducing mounting hole 11 can be connected to the weight-reducing hole 10; further, the Figure 2 The front end surface of the azimuth connection bracket 2 is also provided with a weight-reducing installation hole 11 , and the weight-reducing installation hole 11 can penetrate the connection bracket 2 along the extension direction of the connection bracket 2 .

[0058] As a preferred implementation, the thickness of the connecting bracket 2 gradually increases from the connecting section to the fixing end 3 along the extending direction of the connecting bracket 2 .

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting bracket 2 is in the shape of a long strip, and the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2 has a solid structure, the purpose is to facilitate the connection strength between the connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle body 14. The side of the fixed end can be irregularly shaped, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side of the fixed end facing the protective cover has a plurality of wavy edges;

[0060] The connecting end 4 of the connecting bracket 2 is a flat plate structure, the purpose of which is to facilitate a planar connection with the side of the block-shaped protective cover 1; the thickness refers to the width value of the connecting bracket 2 perpendicular to the extension direction. In order not to affect the weight of the connecting bracket 2 and to increase the connection strength of the connecting bracket 2, the thickness of the connecting bracket 2 is gradually reduced from the side of the fixed end 3 to the side of the connecting end 4.

[0061] The present application also relates to a commercial vehicle, which adopts the above-mentioned vehicle charging socket bracket, the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body 14, the charging socket is connected to the socket mounting position of the protective cover 1, and the charging cable 13 is connected to the charging socket so as to be electrically connected to the charging gun 12 through the charging socket.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixed end 3 of the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the vehicle body 14, and can be connected to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body 14 or the rear suspension bracket of the cab, depending on the structure of the vehicle model; the connecting end 4 of the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the protective cover 1, and the charging gun 12 of the vehicle body 14 extends from one side of the protective cover 1 into the protective cover 1 and is electrically connected to the charging socket in the protective cover 1, and the other side of the charging socket is connected to the charging cable 13.
