[0030] Below, refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 , an optional implementation scheme according to the present utility model is described in detail.

[0031] The present embodiment provides an adjustable charging port cover, comprising: an outer cover plate 1, a mounting plate 2 and at least one group of adjustment mechanisms 3, wherein the mounting plate 2 is arranged on the outer cover plate 1, and at least one group of adjustment mechanisms 3 is arranged on opposite sides of the mounting plate 2; the adjustment mechanism 3 comprises a first booster 31, a second booster 32 and an abutment portion 33, the abutment portion 33 is fixedly arranged on the outer cover plate 1 and passes through the mounting plate 2, the second booster 32 is arranged on the mounting plate 2, the first booster 31 passes through the second booster 32 and moves along the axial direction of the first booster 31, and the first booster 31 is movably abutted against the abutment portion 33.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the outer cover 1 covers the vehicle body to cover or expose the charging port, and the mounting plate 2 is arranged inside the outer cover 1 and connected to the vehicle body, wherein the mounting plate 2 and the outer cover 1 can be connected by snap-fit ​​connection, but is not limited thereto. According to the need for adjusting the position of the outer cover 1, at least one set of adjustment mechanisms 3 can be symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides or the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 2 to achieve the position adjustment of the outer cover 1.

[0033] Specifically, when the left-right gap or the upper-lower gap of the outer cover 1 needs to be adjusted, the first booster 31 can be pushed or rotated to make the first booster 31 move linearly inside the second booster 32 and abut against the abutment 33, and then the abutment 33 is pushed to a suitable position by the first booster 31. Since the abutment 33 is fixedly provided on the outer cover 1, the outer cover 1 is actually moved by the first booster 31, thereby changing the position relationship of the outer cover 1 relative to the mounting plate 2, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the gap between the outer cover 1 and the surrounding parts.

[0034] Based on the above structure, taking the adjustment of the left and right gaps of the outer cover 1 as an example, during assembly, the first booster 31 is first pre-installed on the mounting plate 2 through the second booster 32, and then the first booster 31 is pushed or rotated to move it to a position close to the second booster 32. When assembling the outer cover 1, first observe whether the initial assembly position of the outer cover 1 meets the appearance requirements. If the outer cover 1 needs to move to the left, first move the first booster 31 on the right side of the mounting plate 2 to abut against the abutment 33, and then continue to push or rotate the first booster 31 to push the abutment 33 to the left to a suitable position. If the movement is excessive, move the first booster 31 on the right side in the opposite direction to move outward by an appropriate distance, so that the first booster 31 is away from the abutment 33, and then move the adjustment mechanism 3 on the left side of the mounting plate 2 so that the first booster 31 on the left pushes the abutment 33 on the left to fine-tune to the right, and repeat the above process until the outer cover 1 is in a suitable position. In other embodiments, if the upper and lower gaps of the outer cover plate 1 need to be adjusted, the adjustable mechanism 3 can be arranged on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 2 .

[0035] For example, the first booster 31 can be a bolt with an external thread, and the second booster 32 can be a nut with an internal thread, but it is not limited thereto, as long as the relative movement of the two can be achieved. Through the threaded cooperation of the bolt and the nut, the conversion between rotational motion and linear motion can be achieved, ensuring the stability and accuracy during the adjustment process, and improving the reliability and service life of the entire adjustment mechanism 3.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first booster 31 includes a limiting portion 312, which is disposed at one end of the first booster 31 and located between the abutting portion 33 and the second booster 32. One side of the limiting portion 312 is movably abutted against the abutting portion 33, and the other side is movably abutted against the second booster 32.

[0037] Based on the above structure, when the first booster 31 is pushed or rotated inward, one side of the limiting portion 312 can be movably abutted against the abutment portion 33, and when the first booster 31 is pushed or rotated outward, one side of the limiting portion 312 can be movably abutted against the second booster 32.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first booster member 31 also includes a protrusion 313, which is arranged at one end of the limiting portion 312 close to the abutting portion 33, and the abutting portion 33 is provided with a positioning hole 331. The protrusion 313 and the positioning hole 331 are located on the same axis and pass through the positioning hole 331. The cooperation between the protrusion 313 and the positioning hole 331 can play a role in positioning and guiding, thereby ensuring that the limiting portion 312 can abut against the abutting portion 33, thereby realizing the subsequent adjustment of the gap of the outer cover plate 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the size of the limiting portion 312 is preferably larger than the aperture of the positioning hole and the inner diameter of the second booster 32. Therefore, when the first booster 31 is rotated, the limiting portion 312 can only move between the second booster 32 and the abutment portion 33, so that the first booster 31 will not separate from the second booster 32 during the adjustment process, thereby playing a role of limiting and supporting, preventing the first booster 311 from excessively penetrating into the abutment portion 33, and avoiding excessive tightening of the first and second boosters 31 and 32 to damage the abutment portion 33.

[0040] Based on the above structure, when the first booster 31 is moved, the protrusion 313 is inserted into the positioning hole 331 as the first booster 31 moves, and can slide axially along the positioning hole 331. The positioning hole 331 acts as a guide rail, which can ensure that the abutment part moves along a preset path under the action of the first booster 31 without deviation or shaking, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment.

[0041] In some embodiments, a mounting portion 21 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 2, and the mounting portion 21 is combined with the mounting plate by welding or integral molding. The second booster 32 is fixedly sleeved in the mounting portion 21, and the second booster 32 is embedded in the mounting portion 21 by die-casting or welding. Preferably, a convex ring is provided on the outer wall of the second booster 32, and the mounting portion 21 has a groove matching the convex ring to ensure that the second booster 32 will not loosen in the mounting portion 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second boosting member 32 and the positioning hole 331 of the abutting portion 33 are located on the same axis, which ensures that the movement direction of the first boosting member 31 is consistent with the expected adjustment direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, a rotating portion 311 is provided at one end of the first booster 311 away from the limiting portion 312 , so that an operator can use an adapter tool to screw the first booster 31 in or out to achieve rotation of the first booster 31 in the second booster 32 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the length of the first booster 311 is greater than the distance between the second booster 32 and the abutment portion 33, so that the first booster 31 has sufficient space to rotate in and out, ensuring that the outer cover 1 has a larger position adjustment range to adapt to different charging environments and user needs.

[0045] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 22 is provided on the mounting plate 2, and the abutment portion 33 is located in the limiting groove 22, which can limit the movement range of the abutment portion 33, ensuring that the abutment portion 33 can only move within a preset range, thereby avoiding the abutment portion 33 from derailing due to accidental impact or misoperation.

[0046] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 332 are provided at the bottom of the abutment portion 33 to enhance the strength and rigidity of the abutment portion 33 and disperse the pressure when the abutment portion 33 is subjected to force, so that the abutment portion 33 is not prone to bending, deformation or breakage when subjected to the force of the first booster member 31, thereby ensuring that the shape is maintained well after long-term use, reducing the risk of deformation, and extending the durability and service life of the structure.

[0047] This embodiment also discloses a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and an adjustable charging port cover as described in any of the above schemes, wherein the adjustable charging port cover is hinged to the vehicle body.

[0048] Based on the above structure, taking the adjustment of the left and right gaps between the outer cover plate 1 and the surrounding parts as an example, at least one set of adjustment mechanisms 3 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting portion 2. During assembly, the first booster 31 is first pre-installed on the mounting plate 2 through the second booster 32, and the first booster 31 is rotated by a tool such as an inner hexagonal wrench, and the first boosters 31 on both sides are screwed to the position where the limiting portion 312 abuts against the second booster 32, forming a stable connection foundation. Then, when assembling the outer cover plate 1 or adjusting the left and right clearances of the outer cover plate 1, first observe whether the initial assembly position of the outer cover plate 1 meets the clearance requirements. If the outer cover plate 1 needs to move to the left, first turn the first booster 31 on the right side of the mounting plate 2, and the limiting portion 312 and the protrusion 313 at one end of the first booster 31 will move linearly along the positioning hole 331 on the abutment portion 33, so that the protrusion 313 is inserted into the positioning hole 331, and the limiting portion 312 is abutted against the abutment portion 33 on the outer cover plate 1. Then, continue to rotate the first booster 31, so that the annular surface 312 pushes the abutment portion 33 and the outer cover plate 1 to move to the left to a suitable position. If the movement is excessive, reversely turn the first booster 31 on the right side to rotate outward by an appropriate distance, so that the limiting portion 312 is away from the abutment portion 33, reduce the thrust on the abutment portion 33, and then adjust the position of the outer cover plate 1 through the adjustment mechanism 3 on the left side of the mounting portion 2. The first booster 31 on the left side is turned to push the abutment portion 33 on the left side to drive the outer cover 1 to move to the right. The above process is repeated until the outer cover 1 is in a suitable position. Finally, the first boosters 31 on both sides are tightened and locked.

[0049] Similarly, if it is necessary to adjust the upper and lower gaps between the outer cover plate 1 and the surrounding parts, it is only necessary to install the adjustment mechanism 3 on the upper and lower sides of the mounting portion 2, and use similar operating steps to move the first booster 31 up and down to change the position of the abutment portion 33, thereby accurately adjusting the upper and lower relative positions of the outer cover plate 1.

[0050] This embodiment has the following effects based on the above scheme: by arranging the adjustment mechanism 3 symmetrically on the left and right or up and down on the mounting plate 2, when the outer cover 1 is installed or the outer cover 1 is deformed, according to the actual situation of the outer cover 1, the first booster 31, the second booster 32 and the abutment 33 are precisely matched to achieve the left and right or up and down clearance adjustment between the outer cover 1 and the surrounding parts, ensuring that the outer cover 1 fits perfectly with the charging port, avoiding functional failure caused by interference, and ensuring a good appearance clearance.

[0051] The preferred specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above. It should be understood that ordinary technicians in this field can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the utility model without creative work. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by technicians in this technical field based on the concept of the utility model through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the existing technology should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
