[0039] The charging port assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 - 9 As shown, the charging port assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: an assembly main body 10, a microswitch 20, a limiting member 30 and a blocking member 40.

[0041] Specifically, the assembly main body 10 is installed in the installation opening 210 of the vehicle body, and the microswitch 20 is installed on the assembly main body 10. The limiting member 30 is provided on the assembly main body 10, and the limiting member 30 stops at one side of the microswitch 20 along the first direction to limit the microswitch 20, and the first direction is perpendicular to the penetration direction of the installation opening 210. The blocking member 40 is provided on the assembly main body 10, and the blocking member 40 extends beyond the limiting member 30 in the first direction away from the assembly main body 10.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, a charging seat 300 for charging is provided at the installation opening 210. The assembly main body 10 can close the installation opening 210 to reduce the entry of external moisture, dust, etc. into the charging seat 300 to protect the charging seat 300. The assembly main body 10 can also open the installation opening 210 to connect the charging seat 300 with a charging pile, etc. for charging.

[0043] The microswitch 20 is used to detect the opening and closing state of the installation opening 210 and transmit the detection result to the vehicle-mounted system. For example, in some embodiments, as Figures 2 - 4 shown, a protrusion 122 is provided at one end of the assembly main body 10 close to the microswitch 20. When the assembly main body 10 closes the installation opening 210, the protrusion 122 contacts the trigger part 21 of the microswitch 20. When the assembly main body 10 opens the installation opening 210, the protrusion 122 is separated from the trigger part 21 of the microswitch 20, realizing the detection function of the microswitch 20 for the opening and closing state of the installation opening 210. The microswitch 20 is electrically connected to the vehicle-mounted system through a cable 22, enabling the microswitch 20 to transmit the information on the opening or closing of the installation opening 210 to the vehicle-mounted system and display it on the instrument in the cockpit, so that the driver can judge the opening and closing state of the installation opening 210 through the instrument display information.

[0044] The limiting member 30 and the blocking member 40 can both be connected to the assembly main body 10 through bolts, buckles, etc., which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. They can also be integrally formed with the assembly main body 10, such as by injection molding, with high connection strength. The limiting member 30 limits the movement of the microswitch 20 in the first direction, reducing the possibility of the limiting member 30 shaking or even falling off.

[0045] The penetrating direction of the installation opening 210 can be parallel to the width direction of the vehicle body or at a certain angle. The first direction is perpendicular to the penetrating direction of the installation opening 210. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the penetrating direction of the installation opening 210 is parallel to the width direction of the vehicle body ( Figure 1 the left - right direction in Figure 1 ), the first direction is parallel to the length direction of the vehicle body ( Figure 1 the front - back direction in Figure 1 ), and the limiting member 30 stops at the front side of the microswitch 20 to block the forward movement of the microswitch 20, such as forward shaking. Another example is that in some embodiments, the penetrating direction of the installation opening 210 is parallel to the width direction of the vehicle body, and the first direction is parallel to the height direction of the vehicle body ( Figure 1 the up - down direction in

[0046] ), and the limiting member 30 stops at the upper side of the microswitch 20 to block the upward movement of the microswitch 20, such as shaking. In some related technologies, during the process of installing the assembly main body into the installation opening, the assembly main body needs to cooperate with the edge of the installation opening to completely close the installation opening. The limiting member provided on the assembly main body and stopping at one side of the microswitch is likely to collide and deform with the edge of the installation opening. For example, if the operator operates improperly, causing the limiting member to frequently collide with the edge of the installation opening, the deformation of the limiting member leads to the failure of the limit function, easily causing the microswitch to shift or even fall off. Furthermore, after the assembly main body is installed in the installation opening, whether the assembly main body is in the state of opening or closing the installation opening, the protrusion of the assembly main body is separated from the trigger part or the trigger strength is insufficient, and the instrument always shows that the installation opening is in the open state, resulting in the failure of the detection function of the microswitch and increasing the rework rate of defective products.

[0047] In this application, by providing a stopper 40 that extends away from the assembly main body 10 in a first direction perpendicular to the penetration direction of the installation opening 210, such that the stopper 40 is closer to the edge of the installation opening 210 than the limiting member 30 during the installation of the assembly main body 10 into the installation opening 210. Even if there are problems such as improper operation by the operator, it is the stopper 40 that will collide with the edge of the installation opening 210, rather than the limiting member 30, thereby reducing the possibility of the limiting member 30 colliding with and deforming at the edge of the installation opening 210. This is conducive to protecting the limiting member 30 and thus protecting the microswitch 20, ensuring the reliable limiting function of the limiting member 30 for the microswitch 20. During installation, the microswitch 20 is not easily displaced or even detached, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the charging port assembly 100. Also, after the assembly main body 10 is installed in the installation opening 210, the function of the microswitch 20 to detect the opening and closing state of the installation opening 210 is not easily invalidated, facilitating the driver to judge the opening and closing state of the charging port assembly 100, improving the user experience, and reducing the rework rate of defective products. During the installation or repair of the charging port assembly 100, the detection function of the microswitch 20 is not easily invalidated, reducing after-sales problems in the market.

[0048] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the stopper 40 extends forward beyond the limiting member 30 in the front-rear direction, such that the stopper 40 is closer to the front side edge of the installation opening 210 than the limiting member 30 during the installation of the assembly main body 10 into the installation opening 210.

[0049] According to the charging port assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the stopper 40 can protect the limiting member 30 during the installation of the assembly main body 10 into the installation opening 210, reducing the possibility of the limiting member 30 colliding with and deforming, thereby facilitating the protection of the microswitch 20, reducing the risk of the microswitch 20 being displaced or even detached, and ensuring the normal detection function of the microswitch 20 after the assembly main body 10 is installed in the installation opening 210.

[0050] Such as Figure 1 shown, according to the vehicle 500 of the embodiment of the present utility model, it includes a body outer panel 200, a charging seat 300, and the charging port assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model. The body outer panel 200 is provided with an installation opening 210, and the charging seat 300 is disposed inside the body outer panel 200 and opposite to the installation opening 210. In this application, the outer side refers to the side of the body outer panel 200 facing away from the vehicle body, and the inner side refers to the side of the body outer panel 200 facing towards the vehicle body.

[0051] Since the charging port assembly 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model has the above beneficial technical effects, in the vehicle 500 according to the embodiments of the present utility model, the stopper 40 can protect the limiting member 30 during the process of installing the assembly main body 10 into the installation port 210, reducing the possibility of the limiting member 30 being collided and deformed, thereby facilitating the protection of the micro switch 20 and reducing the risk of the micro switch 20 being displaced or even falling off. After the assembly main body 10 is installed in the installation port 210, the detection function of the micro switch 20 is normal.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 5 - 7 shown, in the direction perpendicular to the first direction, part of the limiting member 30 and the stopper 40 are arranged on the same side of the micro switch 20, so that in this direction, it is not easy for the limiting member 30 to hit the edge of the installation port 210 before the stopper 40, reducing the possibility of the limiting member 30 being collided and deformed without the stopper 40 playing a role, and increasing the protection reliability of the stopper 40 for the limiting member 30.

[0053] For example, in some embodiments, as Figures 6 - 7 shown, the first direction is the front-back direction, and a part of the limiting member 30 stops at the front side of the micro switch 20. Compared with the other part of the limiting member 30 being arranged on the right side of the micro switch 20 and the stopper 40 being arranged on the left side of the micro switch 20, arranging the other part of the limiting member 30 and the stopper 40 together on the left side of the micro switch 20 can make it not easy for the limiting member 30 to collide before the stopper 40 in the left-right direction, and the protection effect on the limiting member 30 is better.

[0054] Again, in some embodiments, the first direction is the front-back direction, and a part of the limiting member 30 stops at the front side of the micro switch 20. Compared with the other part of the limiting member 30 being arranged on the upper side of the micro switch 20 and the stopper 40 being arranged on the lower side of the micro switch 20, arranging the other part of the limiting member 30 and the stopper 40 together on the upper side of the micro switch 20 can make it not easy for the limiting member 30 to collide before the stopper 40 in the up-down direction, and the protection effect on the limiting member 30 is better.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 - 7 shown, there are multiple stoppers 40. Multiple stoppers 40 and part of the limiting member 30 are all arranged on one side of the micro switch 20 along the second direction, and two stoppers 40 are respectively arranged on both sides of the limiting member 30 along the third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0056] There are multiple stoppers 40, and two stoppers 40 are respectively arranged on both sides of the limiting member 30 along the third direction, that is, at least one stopper 40 is arranged on each side of the limiting member 30 along the third direction.

[0057] A plurality of stoppers 40 and partial limiters 30 are both arranged on one side of the microswitch 20 along the second direction, making it difficult for the limiter 30 to hit the edge of the mounting opening 210 before the stopper 40 in the second direction. Moreover, by surrounding both sides of the limiter 30 along the third direction with a plurality of stoppers 40, it is difficult for the limiter 30 to hit the edge of the mounting opening 210 before the stopper 40 in the third direction, providing a better protection effect for the limiter 30.

[0058] The stopper 40 extends beyond the limiter 30 in the first direction away from the assembly main body 10. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other pairwise, which is conducive to making it difficult for the limiter 30 to hit the edge of the mounting opening 210 before the stopper 40 in the three-dimensional space, further enhancing the protection effect on the limiter 30.

[0059] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 5 - 7 As shown, the first direction is the front-back direction, the second direction is the left-right direction, the third direction is the up-down direction. There are two stoppers 40. Both of the two stoppers 40 and the partial limiter 30 are arranged on the left side of the microswitch 20, and the two stoppers 40 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the limiter 30, and the stopper 40 extends forward beyond the limiter 30.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 - 7 As shown, both the stopper 40 and the partial limiter 30 are arranged on one side of the microswitch 20 along the second direction. In the third direction, the stopper 40 extends beyond the edge of the microswitch 20 in the direction away from the limiter 30. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other pairwise. This makes it difficult for the limiter 30 to hit the edge of the mounting opening 210 before the stopper 40 in the second direction, and makes it difficult for the microswitch 20 to hit the edge of the mounting opening 210 before the stopper 40 in the third direction, which is conducive to directly protecting the microswitch 20 while protecting the limiter 30 by the stopper 40, reducing the risk of the microswitch 20 shifting.

[0061] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 5 - 7 As shown, both the stopper 40 and the partial limiter 30 are arranged on the left side of the microswitch 20, and the stopper 40 extends upward beyond the edge of the microswitch 20.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the stopper 40 is arranged at an interval from the microswitch 20, so that when the stopper 40 collides with the edge of the mounting opening 210, the impact force received by the stopper 40 is not easily transmitted to the microswitch 20, reducing the risk of the microswitch 20 moving and improving the installation stability of the microswitch 20.

[0063] The limiter 30 may include structures such as hooks or grooves to limit the microswitch 20, which is conducive to simplifying the structure. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, such asFigures 6 - 7 As shown, the limiting member 30 includes an arm portion 31 and a hook portion 32. The arm portion 31 extends along a first direction and is located on one side of the microswitch 20 along a second direction. The hook portion 32 is located on one side of the arm portion 31 along the second direction and abuts against the end face of the microswitch 20 that is away from the assembly main body 10 along the first direction.

[0064] A portion of the arm portion 31 close to the hook portion 32 can be deformed relative to the portion away from the hook portion 32, which is convenient for pressing the microswitch 20 along the first direction towards the hook portion 32 to deform the arm portion 31, and installing the microswitch 20 to the inner side of the arm portion 31 along the second direction until it is installed in place. After the microswitch 20 is installed in place, the arm portion 31 returns to its original state, and the hook portion 32 abuts against the end face of the microswitch 20 that is away from the assembly main body 10 along the first direction, which is convenient for installation. The structures of the arm portion 31 and the hook portion 32 are relatively simple and easy to manufacture.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 5 - 6 shown, in the penetrating direction of the installation opening 210, a reinforcing rib 33 is provided on the outer side of the blocking member 40. The reinforcing rib 33 is connected to the assembly main body 10, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the blocking member 40, making the blocking member 40 not easily deformed or even broken, having better impact resistance, not easily having the problem that the blocking member 40 is broken and the limiting member 30 is impacted, and having a better protection effect on the limiting member 30.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 - 6 shown, in the penetrating direction of the installation opening 210, a reinforcing rib 33 is provided on the outer side of the limiting member 30, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the limiting member 30, making the limiting member 30 not easily deformed or even broken, so that the limiting member 30 can more stably abut against one side of the microswitch 20 along the first direction, and the limiting effect of the limiting member 30 on the microswitch 20 is better.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 6 shown, the cross-sectional area of the blocking member 40 perpendicular to the first direction gradually decreases in the direction away from the assembly main body 10. The blocking member 40 is installed on the assembly main body 10 and the cross-sectional area of the end of the blocking member 40 close to the assembly main body 10 perpendicular to the first direction is larger, making the blocking member 40 not easily deformed or even separated from the assembly main body 10, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength and installation strength of the blocking member 40.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 4 and Figures 7 - 9As shown, the assembly main body 10 includes a hinge box 11 and a cover body 12. The hinge box 11 is provided with an installation cavity 113 for installing the microswitch 20 and a receiving cavity 111 for receiving the hinge 121 of the cover body 12. The installation cavity 113 is located on one side of the receiving cavity 111 along the first direction. One end of the installation cavity 113 facing away from the receiving cavity 111 is provided with a cavity opening, and part of the limiting member 30 is stopped at the cavity opening. Installing the microswitch 20 on the hinge box 11 instead of the cover body 12 is beneficial to hiding the microswitch 20 in the installation opening 210 after the assembly main body 100 is installed in the installation opening 210, so that the microswitch 20 is not exposed during the process of the cover body 12 opening or closing the installation opening 210, and the concealment of the microswitch 20 is better.

[0069] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 3 - 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the installation cavity 113 is located at the front side of the receiving cavity 111. The front end of the installation cavity 113 is provided with a cavity opening, and the hook 32 of the limiting member 30 is arranged at the cavity opening.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 - 4 and Figures 7 - 9 As shown, the hinge box 11 is provided with a first limiting plate 50 and a second limiting plate 60. The first limiting plate 50 and the second limiting plate 60 define the installation cavity 113. The first limiting plate 50 and another part of the limiting member 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the microswitch 20 along the second direction and are in contact with the microswitch 20. The second limiting plate 60 is arranged on one side of the microswitch 20 along the third direction and is in contact with the microswitch 20. The hinge box 11 is provided with an opening 112, and the opening 112 communicates the installation cavity 113 and the receiving cavity 111. The trigger part 21 of the microswitch 20 passes through the opening 112 so that the hinge 121 triggers the trigger part 21 when the cover body 12 is in the closed state. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0071] The microswitch 20 is limited along the second direction by the first limiting plate 50 and another part of the limiting member 30, the microswitch 20 is limited along the third direction by the second limiting plate 60 and passing the trigger part 21 through the opening 112, and the microswitch 20 is limited along the first direction by arranging the microswitch 20 on one side of the hinge box 11 along the first direction and the part of the limiting member 30 that abuts against the microswitch 20 on one side along the first direction, realizing the limitation of the microswitch 20 in three-dimensional space, making the microswitch 20 not easy to shift, reducing the possibility that the hinge 121 cannot trigger the trigger part 21 when the cover body 12 is in a certain state, and making the detection function of the microswitch 20 for the opening and closing state of the assembly main body 10 more sensitive and reliable.

[0072] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 2 - 3 and Figure 7As shown, the limiting member 30 includes an arm portion 31 and a hook portion 32. The hook portion 32 is provided at the cavity opening, and the arm portion 31 is provided on the left side of the microswitch 20 and abuts against the microswitch 20.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a reinforcing rib 33 is provided on the right side of the first limiting plate 50, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the first limiting plate 50, making the first limiting plate 50 not easily deformed and having a better limiting effect on the microswitch 20.

[0074] Next, the charging port assembly 100 and the vehicle 500 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following description is only illustrative and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0075] Such as Figures 1 - 9 As shown, the charging port assembly 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is used for the vehicle 500. The vehicle 500 includes a body outer panel 200, a charging port assembly 100, a charging seat 300, and a mounting bracket 400. The body outer panel 200 is a sheet metal part and is welded to the body of the vehicle 500. The body outer panel 200 is provided with a mounting opening 210. The charging port assembly 100 is used to open or close the mounting opening 210. The charging seat 300 is used to connect to an external charger. The mounting bracket 400 is used to mount the charging seat 300 on the body outer panel 200.

[0076] The charging port assembly 100 includes a total assembly body 10, a microswitch 20, a limiting member 30, a blocking member 40, a first limiting plate 50, and a second limiting plate 60. The total assembly body 10 includes a hinge box 11, a cover body 12, a rotary shaft pin 13, and a mounting box 14. The hinge box 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, a mounting cavity 113, and an opening 112 communicating the receiving cavity 111 and the mounting cavity 113. The cover body 12 includes a hinge 121, an outer cover 123, and an inner cover 124. The hinge 121 is provided with a protrusion 122. The microswitch 20 has a trigger portion 21. The limiting member 30 includes an arm portion 31 and a hook portion 32.

[0077] The hinge box 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 14. The accommodation cavity 111 of the hinge box 11 is used to accommodate the hinge 121 of the cover body 12, and the mounting cavity 113 is used to mount the microswitch 20. The outer cover 123 is arranged on the outermost layer of the charging port assembly 100, facilitating operations such as painting on the outer surface of the outer cover 123. The inner cover 124 is snap-fitted to the inner side of the outer cover 123 and is fixedly connected to the hinge 121. The rotary shaft pin 13 sequentially passes through the upper box body of the hinge box 11, the hinge 121, and the lower box body of the hinge box 11 to rotatably mount the hinge 121 in the hinge box 11, enabling the cover body 12 to rotatably cover the mounting box 14. After the charging port assembly 100 is mounted in the mounting opening 210, the mounting opening 210 can be opened or closed by the cover body 12. The rotary shaft pin 13 is provided with a snap structure that cooperates with the hinge 121 to prevent detachment, reducing the risk of the rotary shaft pin 13 moving or even detaching relative to the hinge 121.

[0078] The mounting box 14 is snap-fitted into the mounting opening 210, enabling the charging port assembly 100 to be mounted on the vehicle body outer panel 200. The mounting box 14 is provided with a through opening, and the charging seat 300 passes through the through opening to be exposed outside the mounting box 14 and is covered by the cover body 12 when the cover body 12 closes the mounting opening 210.

[0079] The microswitch 20 is arranged on the front side of the hinge box 11. Compared with the related art where the microswitch is mounted on the mounting box, in this application, the microswitch 20 is hidden and invisible when the cover body 12 opens the mounting opening 210. The trigger part 21 of the microswitch 20 passes through the opening 112 at the front end of the hinge box 11. In the closed state of the cover body 12, the protrusion 122 of the hinge 121 compresses the trigger part 21, and in the opened state of the cover body 12, the protrusion 122 of the hinge 121 is separated from the trigger part 21.

[0080] The arm part 31 of the limiting member 30 is arranged on the left side of the microswitch 20 and abuts against the microswitch 20. The hook part 32 of the limiting member 30 is arranged on the front side of the microswitch 20 and abuts against the microswitch 20. There are two blocking members 40, both of which are arranged on the left side of the microswitch 20 and are spaced apart from the microswitch 20. The two blocking members 40 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the limiting member 30, and the blocking members 40 protrude forward beyond the limiting member 30 in the front-rear direction. The first limiting plate 50 is arranged on the right side of the microswitch 20 and abuts against the microswitch 20. The second limiting plate 60 is arranged on the lower side of the microswitch 20 and abuts against the microswitch 20.

[0081] During the installation of the charging base 300 and the charging port assembly 100, first, the charging base 300 is installed on the mounting bracket 400 through bolts, the mounting bracket 400 with the charging base 300 installed is welded to the vehicle outer panel 200, and the components of the charging port assembly 100 are assembled into one body. Then, the charging port assembly 100 is inserted into the mounting opening 210. Since the charging base 300 and the mounting bracket 400 are installed at the mounting opening 210 first, the installation space for the charging port assembly 100 is small, and it is easy to collide with the edge of the mounting opening 210.

[0082] However, through the blocking member 40, the limiting member 30 is protected by the blocking member 40 during the installation of the charging port assembly 100. Once there is a tendency for the charging port assembly 100 to collide with the edge of the mounting opening 210, the blocking member 40 will collide with the edge of the mounting opening 210 prior to the limiting member 30, making it difficult for the limiting member 30 to impact the edge of the mounting opening 210 and deform, ensuring the limiting effect of the limiting member 30 on the microswitch 20, making it difficult for the limiting member 30 to loosen or even fall off during the installation of the charging port assembly 100, and further making it difficult for the microswitch 20 to shift. After the charging port assembly 100 is installed, the triggering portion 21 of the microswitch 20 can be compressed by the protrusion 122 of the hinge 121 in the closed state of the cover body 12 and the compression stroke is sufficient, making the function of the microswitch 20 to detect the opening and closing state of the cover body 12 more reliable.

[0083] In this application, the blocking member 40 is provided to protect the limiting member 30. The blocking member 40 and the limiting member 30 are integrally injection-molded, with a simple and reliable structure, low mold cost investment, and good economy, and can be widely promoted and applied as a general structure.
