The sealing protection cover is made of a hard rubber cover, one end of which is movably connected to the lamp housing. By bending the other end, the entire hard rubber cover can be moved away from the charging port. The hard rubber cover can then be rotated to avoid the open side of the charging port, so that the charging cable can be plugged into the circuit connector to achieve electrical connection and charging.

[0004] In the prior art, the entire hard plastic cover needs to be pulled away from the charging port for a certain distance and rotated at a certain angle, and the connection between the hard plastic cover and the lamp housing is relatively loose, resulting in poor sealing effect and low waterproof level, which makes outdoor use inconvenient. Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer and more specific, the present application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment proposes that the present application provides a waterproof sealing structure for a charging port, which is used to be arranged on a bottom shell 100 with a charging port 120. A cover connection hole 110 is also provided on the bottom shell 100. The cover connection hole 110 is arranged at a certain distance from the charging port. For the convenience of structural description, the direction of the line connecting the midpoint of the cover connection hole 110 and the midpoint of the charging port 120 is the direction of opening the cover. The inner side of the charging port 120 is the internal space of the headlight. A connector 121 is provided on the inner side of the charging port 120. The connector 121 can be a charging connector such as a USB female connector, a Type-C female connector or a Micro-USB female connector. The connector can be embedded in the charging port 120, or it can be located at the inner hole of the charging port 120 and docked with the charging port 120, so that the charging cable can be inserted into the connector to achieve electrical connection.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the charging port waterproof cover structure of this embodiment mainly includes: a flexible connection part 200, a flexible cover plate part 300 and a blocking part 400. The flexible connection part 200, the flexible cover plate part 300 and the blocking part 400 are integrally formed by injection molding, and the material is silicone. The silicone molded cover structure is relatively soft and can be easily elastically deformed by hand bending, so as to facilitate the sealing and opening of the charging port 120; and the silicone cover structure is durable and has outstanding sealing performance. The flexible connection part 200 is connected to the bottom shell 100; in the specific structure, the flexible connection part 200 is connected to the cover connection hole 110, and the flexible connection part 200 passes through the cover connection hole 110 and is embedded in the cover connection hole 110. Since the flexible connection part 200 also adopts silicone material, it can be squeezed and deformed by the cover connection hole 110 and embedded in the cover connection hole 110, and the effect of sealing the cover connection hole 110 is achieved during the squeezing process. The front end of the flexible connection part 200 is connected to the flexible cover part 300. After the flexible connection part 200 is connected to the cover connection hole 110, it will not move in the front-to-back direction during the process of the flexible cover part 300 being bent in the flip direction. In this way, the flexible connection part 200 is filled in the cover connection hole 110 without moving to ensure stable sealing performance. The blocking part 400 is connected to the flexible cover part 300 and is spaced a certain distance from the flexible connection part 200 in the flip direction. The blocking part 400 is embedded in the charging hole 120 through the elastic deformation of the flexible cover part 300 to block the charging hole 120. The blocking part 400 is also made of silicone material, so it can be squeezed and deformed by the inner wall of the charging hole 120 and embedded in the charging hole 120, and the charging hole 120 is sealed during the squeezing process.

[0035] Therefore, the present embodiment proposes a charging port waterproof cover structure, in which the flexible cover part 300 is connected to the charging hole 120 of the bottom shell 100 through the flexible connection part 200, and the blocking part 400 on the flexible cover part 300 is arranged at a distance from the flexible connection part 200. When the charging port waterproof cover structure seals the charging hole 120, the blocking part 400 is embedded in the charging hole 120 through the elastic deformation of the flexible cover part 300 to seal the charging hole 120. Since the flexible connection part 200 is elastic, after being connected to the bottom shell 100, the connection can be squeezed to achieve a better seal; the blocking part 400 can be inserted into the charging hole 120 through the bending deformation of the flexible cover part 300 to seal the charging hole 120. The sealing performance of the charging hole 120 is improved, so that the waterproof level of the charging hole 120 of the headlight can reach IPV8 by using the present charging port waterproof cover structure, which has a waterproof effect when used outdoors and is convenient for users to perform outdoor riding lighting. During the process of opening the charging port 120 , the flexible cover portion 300 is relatively soft and can be bent directly outward to fold and deform outward to open the charging port 120 , so that the charging port 120 can allow the charging cable to be inserted for charging.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, further, the flexible connection part 200 of this embodiment is provided with a first sealing boss 211, and the first sealing boss 211 is embedded in the cover connection hole 110 by extrusion. The first sealing boss 211 is integrally formed with the flexible connection part 200, so that the first sealing boss 211 is fixed on the flexible connection part 200 more stably, and the first sealing boss 211 can adopt a semicircular structure. After the flexible connection part 200 is inserted into the cover connection hole 110, the first sealing boss 211 is squeezed and filled in the cover connection hole 110, which is equivalent to the role of a sealing ring to stably seal the cover connection hole 110 and improve the waterproof level.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, further, the flexible connection part 200 of this embodiment also includes: a connection column 210 and a locking end 220. The front end of the connection column 210 is fixedly connected to the flexible cover plate part 300, and the first sealing boss 211 is arranged on the connection column 210. The outer diameter of the first sealing boss 211 is larger than the outer diameter of the connection column 210, so as to play the effect of blocking the cover connection hole 110. The locking end 220 is connected to the connection column 210, and the locking end 220 passes through the cover connection hole 110 by extrusion and is located in the bottom shell 100 and abuts against the inner wall of the bottom shell 100. During the installation process, the locking end 220 is first compressed and deformed and then enters the cover connecting hole 110. At this time, a relatively large external force needs to be applied to pull the locking end 220, so that the entire locking end 220 is pulled to the inner side of the cover connecting hole 110. After the entire locking end 220 protrudes from the inner opening of the cover connecting hole 110, it is not squeezed by the inner wall of the cover connecting hole 110 and restores its original shape, thereby resting on the inner wall outside the cover connecting hole 110. When the flexible cover plate part 300 is pulled toward the outside with a smaller force, the locking end 220 is not easy to enter the cover connecting hole 110 inside the bottom shell 100. Therefore, the entire flexible cover plate part 300 is not easy to detach from the bottom shell 100. The retaining function is realized by the locking end 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the waterproof sealing structure of the charging port and the bottom shell 100.

[0038] Through the connecting column 210, the flexible cover part 300 and the clamping end 220 clamp the bottom shell 100, the flexible cover part 300 abuts against the outer side of the bottom shell 100 to limit the position, and the clamping end 220 abuts against the inner side of the bottom shell 100 to limit the position, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the end surface of the locking end 220 of this embodiment that is away from the flexible cover plate portion 300 is set as a tapered surface 221. In the specific structure, the rear end surface of the locking end 220 is a tapered surface 221, so that in the process of installing the locking end to the cover connection hole 110, the tapered surface 221 first enters the cover connection hole 110 and then guides, so that the locking end 220 is gradually pressed and passes through the cover connection hole 110 to enter the inside of the bottom shell 100. The end surface of the locking end 220 facing the flexible cover plate portion 300 is arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the connecting column 210; in the specific structure, the front end surface of the locking end 220 is arranged as a vertical end surface 222. When the locking end 220 passes through the cover connecting hole 110 and enters the interior of the bottom shell 100, when the charging port waterproof sealing structure is pulled outward, the vertical end surface 222 directly abuts against the inner wall of the bottom shell 100 and will not be pulled into the cover connecting hole 110, thereby realizing the anti-retraction function through the vertical end surface 222.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, further, a guide end 230 is provided on the side of the clamping end 220 of this embodiment away from the flexible cover plate portion 300, and the outer diameter of the guide end 230 is smaller than the aperture of the cover connection hole 110. In the specific structure, the guide end 230 extends a certain length in the front-to-back direction, and the rear end of the guide end 230 can be tapered, so that when the flexible connection portion 200 is installed, the guide end 230 is first inserted into the cover connection hole 110 from front to back. Since the outer diameter of the guide end 230 is small, this process is easy to operate. And through the guidance of the guide end 230, the clamping end 220 can be directly opposite to the cover connection hole 110, and then in the process of vigorously continuing to pull the guide end 230, the guide end 230 can more easily enter the cover connection hole 110 and pass through the cover connection hole 110. Quick installation and convenient assembly are achieved.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, further, a second sealing boss 411 is provided on the blocking portion 400 of this embodiment, and the second sealing boss 411 is embedded in the charging hole 120 by extrusion. The second sealing boss 411 is integrally formed with the blocking portion 400, so that the second sealing boss 411 is more stably fixed on the blocking portion 400, and the second sealing boss 411 can adopt a semicircular structure. After being more stably inserted into the charging hole 120, the second sealing boss 411 is squeezed and filled in the charging hole 120, which is equivalent to the role of a sealing ring to stably seal the charging hole 120 and improve the waterproof level.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, further, the blocking portion 400 of this embodiment specifically includes: a blocking outer platform 410 and a blocking inner platform 420. The blocking outer platform 410 and the blocking inner platform 420 are integrally formed with the flexible cover portion 300, the front end of the blocking outer platform 410 is fixed on the flexible cover portion 300, and is used to be embedded in the charging hole 120, the second sealing boss 411 is arranged on the outer wall of the blocking outer platform 410, and the second sealing boss 411 protrudes from the outer wall of the blocking outer platform 410 from four sides. When the blocking outer platform 410 is inserted into the charging hole 120, the second sealing boss 411 is squeezed and filled in the charging hole 120, thereby realizing stable blocking of the charging hole 120 and preventing moisture from entering the bottom shell 100 from the charging hole 120. The inner blocking platform 420 is connected to the side of the outer blocking platform 410 away from the flexible cover plate 300. The inner blocking platform 420 is used to be plugged into the connector on the inner side of the bottom shell 100. The thickness of the inner blocking platform 420 is less than the thickness of the outer blocking platform 410. Therefore, a stop step is formed between the inner blocking platform 420 and the outer blocking platform 410. The blocking part 400 inserted into the charging port 120 is stopped at a predetermined position by the stop step, and will not be inserted further after it is in place. An air avoidance 421 is provided at one end of the inner blocking platform 420 away from the outer blocking platform 410. The air avoidance 421 is used to accommodate the internal plug-in structure of the connector, which facilitates the insertion of the inner blocking platform 420 into the connector, which is equivalent to extending the blocking length of the blocking part 400, so that the blocking part 400 is not easy to fall off from the charging port 120.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, further, a cover groove 130 is provided on the bottom shell 100 of this embodiment, and the cover groove 130 is located on the front end surface of the bottom shell 100, and the charging hole 120 and the cover connecting hole 110 are both arranged in the cover groove 130. The flexible cover plate portion 300 is embedded in the cover groove 130 by extrusion. Due to the flexible deformation of the silicone, the flexible cover plate portion 300 and the cover groove 130 can be relatively stably embedded, so that the waterproof sealing structure of the charging port connected to the bottom shell 100 is not easy to loosen. And because the flexible cover plate portion 300 is filled in the cover groove 130, the charging hole 120 and the cover connecting hole 110 are further blocked, thereby improving the waterproof level.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, further, in this embodiment, an outer boss 310 is provided on the flexible cover portion 300, and the outer boss 310 protrudes toward the front end, so that one side edge of the flexible cover portion 300 protrudes from the front end surface of the bottom shell 100, and a buckle position 311 is provided on the outer wall of the outer boss 310. The buckle position 311 facilitates the user's nail (finger) to buckle into the buckle position 311 to apply force to bend the flexible cover portion 300.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an edge groove 131 is opened on one side of the cover groove 130 of the bottom shell 100, and the position of the edge groove 131 is opposite to the buckle position 311, so that the buckle position 311 on the outer boss 310 is avoided by the edge groove 131, which is convenient for use.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle lamp, which includes a bottom shell 100, an outer cover 150 is arranged on the bottom shell 100, and the outer cover 150 and the bottom shell 100 are connected to form an installation space, and a light-emitting device is arranged in the installation space for illuminating. The charging port waterproof cover structure as described above is arranged on the bottom shell 100.

[0048] In summary, the charging port waterproof cover structure and the vehicle lamp in the present application improve the sealing performance of the charging port, and can make the waterproof level of the charging port of the vehicle lamp reach IPV8, so as to achieve a waterproof effect for outdoor use and facilitate users to perform outdoor riding lighting. The first sealing boss and the second sealing boss are used to improve the sealing performance, and the charging port waterproof cover structure is easy to assemble and not easy to loosen by the clamping end and the guiding end.
