The terms used herein in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0067] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0068] Example

[0069] Figure 1 A vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The vehicle 100 may be, for example, an electric vehicle (such as a pure electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle) or a hybrid electric vehicle.

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The body sheet metal part 110 of the vehicle 100 is provided with a charging port K1, and a charging port cover assembly 120 is provided at the charging port K1. The charging port cover assembly 120 can open or close the charging port K1.

[0071] When the charging port cover assembly 120 opens the charging port K1, a charging device such as a charging gun can be used to charge the vehicle 100. After charging is completed, the charging port cover assembly 120 can close the charging port K1.

[0072] In addition, the charging port K1 can also be used as an entrance and exit for installing and maintaining the charging port cover assembly 120. For example, when the charging port cover assembly 120 needs to be installed or removed, the charging port cover assembly 120 can be installed or removed from the charging port K1.

[0073] See alsoFigure 2 , in this embodiment, the charging port cover assembly 120 includes a charging port cover 10, an actuator 20, and a dust cover 30.

[0074] Among them, the charging port cover 10 includes a charging port base 11 and a cover plate 12, and the cover plate 12 is rotatably fitted to the charging port base 11. The actuator 20 is installed on the charging port base 11 and is drivingly connected to the cover plate 12 for driving the cover plate 12 to cover or open the charging port base 11, thereby opening the charging port K1 of the vehicle 100. As Figure 2 shown, when the cover plate 12 is in the closed state, the cover plate 12 closes the charging port K1.

[0075] Next, in combination with Figures 3 to 5 exemplarily introduce the charging port base 11 of this embodiment.

[0076] Refer to Figures 3 to 5 , in this embodiment, the charging port base 11 includes a side wall 11d, a first connecting seat 11a, and a second connecting seat 11b. Both the first connecting seat 11a and the second connecting seat 11b are screw posts protruding from the side wall 11d. The so-called screw post refers to a columnar structure for connecting and locking a screw 50, and a threaded hole K4 is provided thereon for forming a threaded fit with the screw 50. In this embodiment, there are two first connecting seats 11a and one second connecting seat 11b, and the three are distributed in a triangle. Moreover, the two first connecting seats 11a are located on the same circumference centered on the center of the output shaft of the actuator 20, and the second connecting seat 11b is located on another circumference centered on the center of the output shaft of the actuator 20.

[0077] Optionally, the charging port base 11 further includes a surrounding wall 11e protruding from the side wall 11d, and the surrounding wall 11e is on the same side as the screw post protruding from the side wall 11d. The surrounding wall 11e has a circumferential notch K2, so that the surrounding wall 11e is in an overall non-closed wall-like structure. The space inside the surrounding wall 11e is used to accommodate the transmission component 40 of the charging port cover assembly 120.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 11a is connected to the surrounding wall 11e. By connecting with the surrounding wall 11e, the structural stiffness of the first connecting seat 11a can be improved.

[0079] The second connecting seat 11b is located outside the surrounding wall 11e, and the second connecting seat 11b is connected to different positions of the surrounding wall 11e through two inclined and intersecting connecting walls 11f, so that the second connecting seat 11b also has better structural stiffness.

[0080] Next, in combination with Figures 3 to 5 exemplarily introduce the actuator 20 of this embodiment.

[0081] Refer to Figures 3 to 5, the actuator 20 includes an actuator housing 21 and an internal drive structure (not shown in the figure). For example, in this embodiment, the actuator 20 is a rotary motor, the actuator housing 21 is the motor housing, and the internal drive structure mainly includes the stator and rotor of the motor. When the actuator 20 is powered on, it can output a rotational torque to drive the cover plate 12 of the charging port cover 10 (see Figure 2 ) to rotate relative to the charging port base 11 to open and close.

[0082] The actuator housing 21 includes a main housing 21d, a plurality of first connection portions 21a, and a plurality of second connection portions 21b.

[0083] In this embodiment, the main housing 21d can be generally box-shaped, and the internal drive structure of the actuator 20 is installed in the main housing 21d.

[0084] The plurality of first connection portions 21a and the plurality of second connection portions 21b are respectively ear plates protruding from the outer edge of the main housing 21d near the side wall 11d. The ear plate mentioned here is a protruding plate-like structure, and a through hole K5 is provided on the ear plate.

[0085] The number of the first connection portions 21a is more than the number of the first connection seats 11a, for example, three, and the number of the second connection portions 21b is more than the number of the second connection seats 11b, for example, two.

[0086] In this embodiment, the three first connection portions 21a are located on the same circumference (defined as the first circumference S1, see Figure 6 ), and two of the first connection portions 21a are respectively connected to the two first connection seats 11a. The two second connection portions 21b are located on the same circumference (defined as the second circumference S2, see Figure 6 ), and one of the second connection portions 21b is connected to the second connection seat 11b. The first circumference S1 coincides with the circumference where the first connection seat 11a is located, and the second circumference S2 coincides with the circumference where the second connection seat 11b is located.

[0087] In other embodiments, the number of the first connection portions 21a and the second connection portions 21b can be set to other numbers according to needs, which will not be limited here.

[0088] The first connection portion 21a and the first connection seat 11a can be connected by a locking screw 50, and the second connection portion 21b and the second connection seat 11b can be connected by a locking screw 50. When connecting, the ear plate serving as the first connection portion 21a or the second connection portion 21b is supported on the screw post serving as the first connection seat 11a or the second connection seat 11b one by one, and the locking screw 50 passes through the through hole K5 of the ear plate and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole K4 of the screw post, thereby locking the ear plate on the screw post.

[0089] Due to differences in the charging port covers 10 of vehicle models or different installation requirements, the installation angle of the actuator 20 relative to the charging port base 11 of different charging port covers 10 may vary. In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of first connection portions 21a and second connection portions 21b that are concentric and numerous in number, when the actuator 20 needs to adjust the installation angle, the connection between the two first connection portions 21a and the two first connection seats 11a can still be maintained, as well as the fastening connection between one second connection portion 21b and the second connection seat 11b, ensuring that three-point fastening can still be achieved after rotation and ensuring connection reliability. That is, the actuator housing 21 in this embodiment can adapt to multiple different installation angle requirements, has a certain degree of versatility, reduces the need for different types of molds, and thus reduces the mold cost.

[0090] Continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 , in this embodiment, the actuator housing 21 is connected to the side of the surrounding wall 11e facing away from the side wall 11d, and the actuator housing 21, the side wall 11d, and the surrounding wall 11e enclose an accommodation space Q1. The accommodation space Q1 has an opening K3 corresponding to the circumferential notch K2 of the surrounding wall 11e. The dust cover 30 is detachably attached to cover the opening K3.

[0091] In this embodiment, the actuator 20 is drivingly connected to the cover plate 12 through a transmission assembly 40. The transmission assembly 40 includes a driving gear 41, a driven gear 42, and a transmission shaft 43. The driving gear 41 and the driven gear 42 are respectively accommodated in the accommodation space Q1.

[0092] The actuator 20 is drivingly connected to the driving gear 41. The driving gear 41 meshes with the driven gear 42. The driven gear 42 is connected to the transmission shaft 43, and the transmission shaft 43 is connected to the cover plate 12. In this way, the rotation output by the actuator 20 can be transmitted to the cover plate 12 (as can be seen in Figure 2 ), for driving the cover plate 12 to rotate and open / close.

[0093] The actuator housing 21 further includes clamping posts 21e respectively located on both sides of the opening K3, and each clamping post 21e extends toward the side wall 11d and outwards of the surrounding wall 11e. The number of clamping posts 21e on both sides can be one or more, so as to facilitate different dust covers 30 to be clamped to the clamping posts 21e at appropriate positions, improving the versatility of the actuator housing 21.

[0094] The dust cover 30 includes a cover body 31 and two clamping portions 32 (also seen in Figure 7 ). The two clamping portions 32 are respectively connected to both ends of the cover body 31 in the extending direction. The cover body 31 covers the opening K3 of the accommodation space Q1, and the two clamping portions 32 are respectively clamped to the clamping posts 21e located on both sides of the opening K3. The dust cover 30 closes the opening K3 of the accommodation space Q1, which can prevent dust, sediment, or other sundries from entering the accommodation space Q1 and causing the driving of the driving gear 41 and the driven gear 42 to jam.

[0095] Optionally, the clamping portion 32 includes a column section 32a and a hook portion 32b, the column section 32a is protruding from the side of the cover body 31 close to the opening K3, and the hook portion 32b is connected to the end of the column section 32a away from the cover body 31 and clamped on the side of the clamping column 21e away from the cover body 31.

[0096] The matching structure of the dust cover 30 and the clamping column 21e can also be seen in Figure 8 .

[0097] See also Figure 8 In this embodiment, optionally, the dust cover 30 is integrally molded by two-color injection molding technology, and the dust cover 30 includes an integrally molded hard rubber part 30a and a soft rubber part 30b, and the soft rubber part 30b is located on the side of the hard rubber part 30a away from the outlet K3.

[0098] The parting line L1 between the hard rubber part 30a and the soft rubber part 30b is shown in FIG. Figure 7 , the soft rubber part 30b is Figure 7 The part located at the upper right corner of the parting line L1 is a part of the cover body 31. The hard rubber part 30a is the other part except the soft rubber part 30b, including another part of the cover body 31 and two clamping parts 32. The hardness of the hard rubber part 30a is high to ensure that the dust cover 30 maintains its basic shape and ensures reliable connection with the actuator housing 21 and the charging port base 11.

[0099] See also Figure 9 In this embodiment, the soft rubber portion 30b is located on a side closer to the body sheet metal 110. When the charging port cover assembly 120 is installed in or removed from the charging port K1 of the vehicle 100, even if the distance between the charging port cover assembly 120 and the body sheet metal 110 is small, the soft rubber portion 30b can also deform to avoid being blocked by the edge of the charging port K1, thereby making it easier for the charging port cover assembly 120 to be installed in or removed from the charging port K1.

[0100] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred implementation modes, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
