DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete manner.
[0039] As mentioned in the background technology: Currently, as the design of electric vehicles enters the high-end stage, more and more new models are beginning to use electric charging port cover structures to enhance the technological sense of the entire vehicle.
[0040] Due to the narrow top and wide bottom appearance of the vehicle and the limited size of the charging port cover opening, the charging port cover is generally arranged vertically upward, so that there is a water pocket structure in the shell of the charging port. In order to facilitate the discharge of accumulated water in the water pocket structure, it is usually necessary to set a drainage hole in the lower part of the shell, and the drainage hole is connected to a drainage pipe.
[0041] However, the dust-proof effect of the drain pipe is not very good.
[0042] In order to solve the technical problems raised above, the present application provides a charging port assembly and a vehicle, wherein the charging port assembly includes a shell, a cover plate and a plugging member, the shell is used to be installed at the charging port of the vehicle, the cover plate is installed on the shell and is used to plug the opening of the shell; the lower end of the shell has a drain port, the plugging member is installed on the shell, and the plugging member is configured to close the drain port in a natural state, and to open the drain port under the push of the liquid when there is liquid in the shell, so as to discharge the liquid in the shell through the drain port. When there is liquid in the shell, the liquid pushes the plugging member to open the drain port, so that the liquid in the shell can be discharged. When there is no liquid in the shell, the plugging member closes the drain port, so as to prevent dust from the outside from entering the shell through the drain port, thereby ensuring the dustproof effect of the charging port assembly.
[0043] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0044] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of the present application discloses a charging port assembly, including a shell 100 , a cover plate 200 and a blocking member 300 .
[0045] The housing 100 is used to be installed at a charging port of a vehicle, and the cover plate 200 is installed on the housing 100 and is used to block the opening of the housing 100 .
[0046] The lower end of the shell 100 has a drain port 110, and the sealing member 300 is installed on the shell 100. The sealing member 300 is configured to close the drain port 110 in a natural state, and to open the drain port 110 under the push of the liquid when there is liquid in the shell 100, so as to discharge the liquid in the shell 100 through the drain port 110.
[0047] Exemplarily, the shell 100 has a accommodating cavity, the accommodating cavity has a charging port, the opening of the accommodating cavity is arranged obliquely upward, the cover plate 200 is hinged at the opening of the accommodating cavity, and because the opening of the accommodating cavity is arranged obliquely upward, the lower end of the accommodating cavity forms a water pocket structure, and the drain outlet 110 is arranged at the lowest end of the water pocket structure.
[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is liquid in the shell 100, the liquid pushes the sealing member 300 to open the drain port 110, so that the liquid in the shell 100 can be discharged. When there is no liquid in the shell 100, the sealing member 300 closes the drain port 110, thereby preventing dust from the outside from entering the shell 100 through the drain port 110, thereby ensuring the dust-proof effect of the charging port assembly.
[0049] In some embodiments, the blocking member 300 includes a blocking cover 310 . The blocking cover 310 is installed on the housing 100 , and the blocking cover 310 is elastic.
[0050] The blocking cover 310 is configured to close the drain port 110 in a natural state, and to deform under the push of liquid when there is liquid in the housing 100 to open the drain port 110 so as to discharge the liquid in the housing 100 .
[0051] Exemplarily, the blocking cover 310 is glued to the housing 100 .
[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is no liquid in the shell 100, the sealing cover 310 closes the drain port 110. When there is liquid in the shell 100, the liquid abuts against the sealing cover 310 through the drain port 110, and under the push of the liquid, the sealing cover 310 is driven to deform, so that the drain port 110 is in an open state, and the liquid in the shell 100 is discharged. After the liquid is discharged (a small amount of liquid will remain in the shell 100, and the liquid is not enough to drive the sealing cover 310 to deform, and a small amount of liquid will not affect the normal use of the charging port), the sealing cover 310 will return to its initial state and close the drain port 110, thereby preventing external dust from entering the shell 100 through the drain port 110, thereby ensuring the dustproof effect of the charging port assembly.
[0053] In some embodiments, a surface of the blocking cover 310 facing away from the drain outlet 110 has at least one notch 311 .
[0054] Exemplarily, a surface of the cover plate 200 facing away from the drain outlet 110 has a notch 311 , and an extending direction of the notch 311 is consistent with a deformation trajectory of the cover plate 200 .
[0055] Exemplarily, the notch 311 is located in the middle of the sealing cover 310 so that the sealing cover 310 can be deformed more easily under the push of the liquid.
[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing at least one notch 311 on the side of the sealing cover 310 away from the drain outlet 110, the sealing cover 310 can be more easily deformed under the push of liquid, thereby ensuring that most of the liquid in the shell 100 can be discharged through the drain outlet 110.
[0057] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, the charging port assembly further includes a connector 320 , which is configured to install the blocking cover 310 on the housing 100 .
[0058] Exemplarily, the connecting member 320 is a screw.
[0059] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the connecting piece 320 , it is convenient to install the blocking cover 310 on the housing 100 .
[0060] In some embodiments, the connecting member 320 is a connecting column 321, the connecting column 321 is connected to the blocking cover 310, and the shell 100 has a connecting hole, and the connecting column 321 is plugged into the shell 100 through the connecting hole.
[0061] Exemplarily, the connecting column 321 is a cylinder, and the connecting column 321 is interference fit with the connecting hole.
[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the connecting piece 320 and the connecting hole, and by inserting the connecting column 321 into the connecting hole, the blocking cover 310 can be installed on the shell 100, which facilitates the installation of the blocking cover 310.
[0063] In some embodiments, the end of the connecting column 321 facing away from the blocking cover 310 has an elastic protrusion 322 , and after the connecting column 321 is inserted into the connecting hole, the elastic protrusion 322 and the blocking cover 310 clamp the housing 100 .
[0064] Exemplarily, the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of the connecting column 321. When the connecting column 321 is inserted into the connecting hole, the elastic protrusion 322 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole, and the elastic protrusion 322 is deformed. After the elastic protrusion 322 passes through the connecting hole, the elastic protrusion 322 returns to its initial state and abuts against the end of the connecting hole.
[0065] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the elastic protrusion 322 , the stability of the blocking cover 310 installed on the housing 100 is improved.
[0066] In some embodiments, the connection column 321 and the blocking cover 310 are integrally formed.
[0067] By adopting the above technical solution, the production cost of the blocking cover 310 is reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the charging port assembly.
[0068] In some embodiments, the housing 100 has a receiving groove 120 at the drain outlet 110 for receiving the blocking member 300 .
[0069] Exemplarily, the receiving groove 120 is completely embedded with the blocking member 300 .
[0070] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the receiving groove 120 , the blocking member 300 is hidden, thereby preventing the blocking member 300 from protruding relative to the housing 100 , thereby providing a certain degree of protection for the blocking member 300 .
[0071] In some embodiments, the blocking member 300 includes a hinged cover hinged on the shell 100, and the hinged cover is configured to close the drain port 110 in a natural state, and to rotate relative to the shell 100 under the push of the liquid when there is liquid in the shell 100, thereby opening the drain port 110 and discharging the liquid in the shell 100 through the drain port 110.
[0072] By adopting the above technical solution, when there is liquid in the shell 100, the liquid pushes the sealing member 300 to open the drain port 110, so that the liquid in the shell 100 can be discharged. When there is no liquid in the shell 100, the sealing member 300 closes the drain port 110, thereby preventing dust from the outside from entering the shell 100 through the drain port 110, thereby ensuring the dust-proof effect of the charging port assembly.
[0073] An embodiment of the present application also discloses a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and a charging port assembly according to any one of the above embodiments installed on the vehicle body.
[0074] Among them, the structure and principle of the charging port assembly have been clearly explained in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here one by one.
[0075] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vehicle is charged on a rainy day, liquid from the outside may enter the housing 100 through the opening of the housing 100, and the liquid pushes the blocking member 300 to open the drain port 110, so that the liquid in the housing 100 can be discharged. When there is no liquid in the housing 100, the blocking member 300 closes the drain port 110, thereby preventing dust from the outside from entering the housing 100 through the drain port 110, thereby ensuring the dustproof effect of the charging port assembly.
