Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] With the development of technology, electric bicycles have become an important means of transportation for people. The emergence of electric bicycles has facilitated people's lives, and moreover, electric bicycles are energy-saving, emission-reducing, and environmentally friendly. However, there are also some problems in the use of electric bicycles. For example, the charging connector of an electric bicycle is exposed to the external environment and is easily affected by substances such as dust and moisture, resulting in poor charging or even inability to charge. These problems not only affect the normal use of electric bicycles but also may shorten the service life of electric bicycles and increase the user's usage cost. Therefore, how to solve the dust-proof problem of the charging connector of electric bicycles has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. This charging female socket realizes the protection of the connection terminals of the charging female socket through a protection mechanism, effectively reducing the influence of external substances on the connection terminals and improving the charging reliability.

[0022] Figure 1 Schematic structural diagram of the charging female socket provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 For Figure 1 exploded decomposition diagram of the protection mechanism in; The charging female socket of the present application is applied to the body of an electric bicycle, and the following will introduce the specific structure of the charging female socket in detail.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment provides a charging socket with a protection function, including: a frame body 100, including: a panel part 110 and a body part 120 connected to each other. The panel part 110 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112. The body part 120 is connected to the second surface 112. First mounting seats 113 and second mounting seats 114 are arranged at intervals along the upper edge of the panel part 110; a protection mechanism 200, including: a flip cover 210, a pin 220 and a torsion spring 230. The flip cover 210 is pivotally connected to the first mounting seat 113 and the second mounting seat 114 through the pin 220. The torsion spring 230 is sleeved on the pin 220. One abutting end of the torsion spring 230 abuts against the flip cover 210, and the other abutting end of the torsion spring 230 abuts against the panel part 110. The flip cover 210 is pivotally connected to the first mounting seat 113 and the second mounting seat 114 through the pin 220, realizing the flexible rotation of the flip cover 210, which is convenient for opening and closing; by sleeving the torsion spring 230 on the pin 220, the flip cover 210 always has a force tending to close, thus facilitating the reset of the flip cover 210 when charging ends.

[0024] For example, one end of the first mounting seat 113 and the second mounting seat 114 extends out of the first surface 111. Such a setting can reduce the interference of the frame body 100 on the flip cover 210, thus ensuring the smooth flipping of the flip cover 210. A first insertion hole is provided in the first mounting seat 113, and a second insertion hole is provided in the second mounting seat 114. In this way, it is convenient for the pin 220 to be inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some examples, the pin 220 includes: a first part 221 and a second part 222 connected in sequence. The first part 221 is inserted into the first mounting seat 113, and the second part 222 is inserted into the second mounting seat 114. The diameter of the first part 221 is larger than that of the second part 222, and the torsion spring 230 is sleeved on the second part 222. Such a setting facilitates the installation of the torsion spring 230.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some examples, between the first mounting seat 113 and the second mounting seat 114, a convex block 115 is arranged on the upper edge of the panel part 110. The convex block 115 and the second mounting seat 114 form a first abutting groove 116, and the other abutting end of the torsion spring 230 is located in the first abutting groove 116. Such a setting can improve the connection stability between the torsion spring 230 and the panel part 110.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some examples, one end of the convex block 115 close to the first surface 111 is set as an inclined surface 1151. Such a setting can reduce the contact of the convex block 115 with the flip cover 210, thus avoiding the interference with the flip cover 210.

[0028] Please refer toFigure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, the first surface 111 is provided with a plugging opening 117, a waterproof rib 118 is arranged around the plugging opening 117 on the first surface 111, a retaining wall 2121 corresponding to the plugging opening 117 is arranged on the flip cover 210, and an avoidance groove 2122 matching with the waterproof rib 118 is arranged around the retaining wall 2121 on the flip cover 210. With such an arrangement, when the flip cover 210 is closed, the sealing performance of the charging female socket can be improved, and effectively prevent external dust and moisture from entering through the plugging opening 117.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, mounting holes are provided at opposite ends of the panel portion 110. In this way, the charging female socket is fixedly mounted to the body of the electric bicycle through the mounting holes.

[0030] For example, the mounting hole is a counterbore.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, the flip cover 210 includes a pivot portion 211 and a covering portion 212 connected to each other. The pivot portion 211 has a pivot groove 2111 and a second abutting groove 2112 that communicate with each other. Both the pivot groove 2111 and the second abutting groove 2112 extend along the direction from the first mounting seat 113 to the second mounting seat 114. At least part of the pin 220 and the torsion spring 230 are inserted into the pivot groove 2111, and one abutting end of the torsion spring 230 is inserted into the second abutting groove 2112. With such an arrangement, the connection stability between the torsion spring 230 and the pivot portion 211 can be improved.

[0032] For example, the flip cover 210 further includes a contact portion located on the side of the covering portion 212 away from the pivot portion 211. The contact portion is used to facilitate the user's contact and facilitate flipping the flip cover 210. Among them, the contact portion is an arc-shaped groove recessed in the direction away from the first surface 111.

[0033] For example, the pivot portion 211, the covering portion 212 and the contact portion are of an integrally formed structure.
