[0029] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present application can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present application can be completely conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0030] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0031] A charging base for charging is provided on the body of an electric vehicle. The existing charging port box can be clamped on the side panel outer plate beside the charging base through a clamping structure. In the current electric vehicle charging scenario, due to insufficient light at night, it is often difficult for the charging gun to accurately insert into the charging base, which brings inconvenience to users, and users cannot intuitively judge the charging state after the charging gun is inserted. To overcome this problem, the prior art usually adds a lighting lamp and an indicator lamp in the charging port box. However, adding a lighting lamp and an indicator lamp separately not only increases the types of parts, but also increases the production cost of a single vehicle, and prolongs the manufacturing time during the assembly process, further increasing the cost.

[0032] Therefore, the present application provides a charging port box, which integrates the lighting and charging indication dual functions of the lamp assembly on the charging port box, not only solves the lighting requirement for night charging, but also can intuitively display the charging state. Thus, the number of parts is effectively reduced, the cost of a single vehicle is reduced, the assembly time is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging port box, as Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, it includes: a box body 1, the box body 1 has a receiving space 101 for receiving a charging dock 4; a light-emitting component 2, a first cavity 102 with a first opening is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and the light-emitting component 2 is embedded in the first cavity 102 through the first opening. The light-emitting component 2 has a first side wall 205 and a second side wall 206. The first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206 are located outside the first cavity 102, and the first side wall 205 faces the receiving space 101, and the second side wall 206 faces away from the receiving space 101. Among them, a light-emitting light source is provided inside the light-emitting component 2, and the light-emitting light source is used to display the charging state of the charging dock 4, and the light of the light-emitting light source can pass through the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206 and diverge outward.

[0035] The box body 1 of the charging port box can be made of high-strength ABS plastic or metal material, ensuring its durability and impact resistance. The shape and size of the box body 1 can be adapted according to the design of the charging dock 4. The box body 1 can be connected to the vehicle body side panel beside the charging dock 4. The box body 1 is a structure with a receiving space 101, which can accommodate the charging dock 4 to protect the charging dock 4 from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, water vapor, etc. A first cavity 102 with a first opening is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and the light-emitting component 2 can be embedded in the first cavity 102 through this first opening. The light-emitting component 2 includes two side walls. The first side wall 205 faces the receiving space 101 (i.e., the charging dock 4), while the second side wall 206 faces away from the receiving space 101. A light-emitting light source, such as an LED light strip or an LED panel, is installed inside the light-emitting component 2. The light-emitting light source inside the light-emitting component 2 is used to display the charging state of the charging dock 4. For example, when the charging dock 4 is charging, the light-emitting light source can be displayed as green; when the charging is completed or the charging dock 4 is in the standby state, the light-emitting light source can be displayed as white; when the charging dock 4 fails, the light-emitting light source can be displayed as red. The light of the light-emitting component 2 diverges outward through the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206. Since the first side wall 205 faces the receiving space 101, it ensures that the area where the charging dock 4 is located is effectively illuminated at night or in a dim environment, facilitating the user to locate the charging port and perform plugging and unplugging operations. At the same time, the second side wall 206 faces away from the receiving space 101, and the light transmitted by the second side wall 206 can directly enter the user's line of sight, enabling the user to clearly observe the charging state indication.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the charging port box integrates the charging state indication and lighting functions. The light-emitting light source of the charging port box is used to display the charging state of the charging dock 4. Its light can illuminate the area of the charging dock 4 through the first side wall 205 of the light-emitting component 2 and project the charging state indication to the human eye through the second side wall 206, thus achieving the dual effects of lighting and charging indication. This can reduce the types of parts, simplify the manufacturing process, and shorten the production working hours.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the charging port box further includes: a box cover 3, one side edge of the box cover 3 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and the box cover 3 is used to block or expose the range where the accommodation space 101 is located; a first opening is provided on the side of the box body 1 facing the box cover 3.

[0038] The box cover 3 is dimensionally adapted to the box body 1, and one side edge of the box cover 3 is connected to the box body 1 through a rotational connection structure, which can be a hinge connection, a rotating shaft connection or any other mechanical structure that allows the box cover 3 to rotate. The rotational connection ensures that the box cover 3 can be smoothly opened and closed. The box cover 3 is used to close the accommodation space 101 of the box body 1 when the charging base 4 is not in use, so as to protect the charging base 4 from dust, moisture or other external factors. When it is necessary to use the charging base 4 for charging, the user can open the box cover 3 to expose the charging base 4, which is convenient for charging operations. The first opening is provided on the side of the box body 1 facing the box cover 3, so that after the user opens the box cover 3, the light emitted by the light emitting component 2 can be projected into the human eye unobstructed, which is convenient for the user to clearly observe the position of the charging base 4 and the indication of the charging state.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the light emitting component 2 further includes a lamp shade 201. Two adjacent side walls on the lamp shade 201 are a first side wall 205 and a second side wall 206. A second cavity 202 is formed inside the lamp shade 201, and a light emitting source is arranged in the second cavity 202; a plurality of concave and convex structures are uniformly arranged on the inner surface of the second cavity 202.

[0040] The lamp shade 201 can be a cube structure, and the cube structure has a plurality of side walls, and two adjacent side walls are the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206 respectively. The first side wall 205 faces the accommodation space 101 where the charging base 4 is located, ensuring that the light can directly irradiate the charging base 4. The second side wall 206 is opposite to the first side wall 205, facing away from the accommodation space 101 and facing the user, so that the user can clearly see the indication of the charging state.

[0041] A second cavity 202 is formed inside the lamp shade 201, and the light emitting source is arranged in the second cavity 202. The lamp shade 201 can provide additional protection for the light emitting source, preventing damage to the light emitting source by external factors such as dust and moisture, and extending the service life of the light emitting source. The lamp shade 201 can be made of a transparent or semi-transparent material to ensure that the light can effectively penetrate through, which can be plastic, glass or other suitable transparent materials. The light emitting component 2 integrating the lamp shade 201 reduces the number of parts, which is convenient for simplifying the assembly process and reducing the production cost. Moreover, the lamp shade 201 can make the light distribution more uniform, reduce the glare situation, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by too strong light and improving the safety of use.

[0042] On the inner surface of the lamp shade 201, i.e., the side facing the light-emitting source, a plurality of concave and convex structures are evenly arranged. These concave and convex structures can be regularly arranged patterns, such as grids, lines or honeycombs, or irregularly distributed geometric shapes, which can change the light propagation path. The setting of the concave and convex structures enables the light emitted by the light-emitting source to undergo multiple refractions and reflections inside the lamp shade 201, thereby achieving a more uniform and soft light distribution, enlarging the illumination area, and reducing the direct light directly hitting the user's eyes, thus avoiding glare and improving the comfort of the user during use.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the longitudinal section of the second cavity 202 is trapezoidal, and the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206 are arranged on two sides of the trapezoid with acute angles; the first cavity 102 further includes a second opening opposite to the first opening, and the acute angle end of the lamp shade 201 can enter the first cavity 102 through the second opening and extend out through the first opening.

[0044] The longitudinal section of the second cavity 202 is designed to be trapezoidal, that is, when observed in a plane perpendicular to the placement direction of the light-emitting component 2, its shape is similar to a trapezoid. The acute angle ends of the trapezoid respectively correspond to the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206, and these two side walls constitute the main light-emitting surface of the light-emitting component 2. The acute angle end of the lamp shade 201 can enter the inside of the first cavity 102 through the second opening of the first cavity 102. After the lamp shade 201 is completely installed in place, its acute angle end will extend out from the first opening of the first cavity 102, so that the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206 are located outside the first cavity 102, facilitating the light of the light-emitting component 2 to irradiate the required area. And the trapezoidal block-shaped lamp shade 201 enables it to pass through the second opening, the first cavity 102 and the first opening more smoothly in sequence during the installation process.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 shown, the light-emitting source includes a lamp bead 203 and a circuit board 204. The lamp bead 203 is electrically connected to the circuit board 204. The circuit board 204 is located in the second cavity 202 and is arranged opposite to its acute angle. The circuit board 204 can be electrically connected to an external power supply through a wire 5 passing through the lamp shade 201.

[0046] The light-emitting light source is composed of a lamp bead 203 and a circuit board 204. The lamp bead 203 is the core component for emitting light and can be a single LED lamp bead or an array composed of multiple LED lamp beads. The circuit board 204 is located in the second cavity 202 and is electrically connected to the lamp bead 203, responsible for supplying power to the lamp bead 203 and controlling its working state. The position of the circuit board 204 is set opposite to the acute angle of the second cavity 202, which can make full use of the space of the second cavity 202 and help the light of the lamp bead 203 shine more concentratedly on the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206. The circuit board 204 is connected to an external power supply through a wire 5 passing through the lamp shade 201. These wires 5 can be led out from one side of the lamp shade 201 and connected to the power interface of the charging port box or an independent power adapter. The connection part between the circuit board 204 and the wire 5 is sealed with the lamp shade to protect the circuit board 204.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lamp shade 201 includes a pair of third side walls 207 arranged oppositely. The third side walls 207 are provided with first clamping parts 209. In the first cavity 102 of the box body 1, a pair of first docking parts 103 are provided, and the pair of first clamping parts 209 are respectively clamped and connected with the pair of first docking parts 103.

[0048] The lamp shade 201 includes a pair of third side walls 207 arranged oppositely. These two third side walls 207 are located on both sides of the first side wall 205 and the second side wall 206, forming a closed lamp shade 201 structure. On the side of the third side wall 207 facing away from the second cavity 202, a first clamping part 209 is provided, which can be a protrusion, a groove or other structures capable of realizing clamping connection. In the first cavity 102 of the box body 1, a pair of first docking parts 103 are provided, and the first docking parts 103 correspond to the first clamping parts 209 on the lamp shade 201. When the lamp shade 201 is embedded in the first cavity 102 of the box body 1, the first clamping part 209 on the lamp shade 201 is clamped with the first docking part 103 on the box body 1, thereby realizing a firm connection and ensuring that the lamp shade 201 can be firmly installed on the box body 1 and will not loosen even when slightly vibrated during use. The clamping connection method makes the installation and disassembly process of the lamp shade 201 simple and fast without the need for additional tools.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, at least one of the third side walls 207 is provided with a guiding block 210, and a limiting slideway 104 is also provided in the first cavity 102 of the box body 1. The guiding block 210 is slidably connected with the limiting slideway 104.

[0050] On at least one third side wall 207 of the lamp cover 201, there is provided a guiding block 210. The guiding block 210 can be a protruding block structure, which is used to guide the correct position and direction of the lamp cover 201 during the installation process. Inside the first cavity 102 of the box body 1, corresponding to the position of the guiding block 210, there is provided a limiting slideway 104. The limiting slideway 104 can be a groove-like structure, which is matched with the guiding block 210, and is used to receive the guiding block 210 and limit its movement. The guiding block 210 of the lamp cover 201 is slidably connected with the limiting slideway 104 of the box body 1. When installing the lamp cover 201, the guiding block 210 slides along the limiting slideway 104 until it reaches a predetermined position. For example, after the first clamping portion 209 on the third side wall 207 is clamped with the first docking portion 103 on the box body 1, the fixing of the lamp cover 201 is completed. The sliding connection design of the guiding block 210 and the limiting slideway 104 enables the lamp cover 201 to be accurately positioned during the installation process, avoiding installation deviation. And the sliding connection method simplifies the installation process of the lamp cover 201, without complex alignment operations, improving the installation efficiency.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 6 shown, the box body 1 includes a housing 105 and a first flexible member 106. The housing 105 encloses a receiving space 101 on all four sides. A first cavity 102 is provided on the first side of the housing 105; the first flexible member 106 is provided at the outer edge of the first opening. A sealing portion 211 is provided on the fourth side wall 208 of the lamp cover 201, and the first flexible member 106 abuts against the sealing portion 211.

[0052] The box body 1 includes a housing 105 and a first flexible member 106. The housing 105 encloses a receiving space 101 on all four sides, which is used to accommodate the charging base 4. The housing 105 can be injection-molded from a rigid material, such as PP+GF30. The first side of the housing 105 faces the box cover 3 and is provided with a first cavity 102. The light-emitting component 2 is embedded in the first cavity 102 through the first opening.

[0053] The first flexible member 106 is provided at the outer edge of the first opening. Its function is to closely fit with the sealing portion 211 on the lamp cover 201 after the lamp cover 201 is installed in place, so as to provide a good sealing effect. The first flexible member 106 can be injection-molded from rubber, silica gel, TPV or other elastic materials to ensure sufficient sealing performance and durability. A sealing portion 211 is provided on the fourth side wall 208 of the lamp cover 201. The sealing portion 211 can be a rectangular block structure. The first flexible member 106 includes two connected elastic arms. The cross-section of the first flexible member 106 can be V-shaped. When the lamp cover 201 is installed on the box body 1, one side surface of the sealing portion 211 contacts one elastic arm of the first flexible member 106. Due to the elasticity of the first flexible member 106, a tight seal can be formed.

[0054] The lamp cover 201 is slidably installed into the first cavity 102 of the box body 1 along the guide block 210 and the limit slideway 104. When the lamp cover 201 is installed in place, the sealing portion 211 contacts and compresses the first flexible member 106 to form a tight seal. The cooperation between the first flexible member 106 and the sealing portion 211 can effectively prevent external substances such as dust and moisture from entering the interior of the box body 1, protecting the light-emitting component 2 and the charging base 4. The tight fit between the sealing portion 211 and the first flexible member 106 can not only improve the sealing performance but also enhance the connection stability between the lamp cover 201 and the box body 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the box body 1 further includes a second flexible member 107. The second flexible member 107 is connected to the second side edge of the housing 105, and the first side and the second side are arranged opposite to each other; the housing 105 can be hermetically connected to the charging base 4 through the second flexible member 107.

[0056] The second side of the housing 105 is arranged opposite to the first side (the side where the light-emitting component 2 is provided) and faces the vehicle body. The second flexible member 107 is connected to the second side edge of the housing 105. The second flexible member 107 can be injection-molded from rubber, silica gel, TPV or other elastic materials and can be connected to the housing 105 through secondary injection molding to ensure good sealing performance and durability.

[0057] When the box body 1 and the charging base 4 are assembled together, the second flexible member 107 contacts the edge of the charging base 4 to form a sealed connection. The sealed connection can prevent external substances such as dust and moisture from entering the interior of the box body 1 and protect the charging base 4 from damage. Align the box body 1 with the position of the charging base 4, and the second flexible member 107 contacts and compresses the edge of the charging base 4 to form a tight seal. The box body 1 and the charging base 4 can be connected by snap fasteners, screws or other fixing methods to ensure the structural stability.

[0058] The charging port box provided by the embodiment of the present application integrates the charging status indication and lighting functions by integrating the light-emitting component 2, which not only solves the lighting problem but also takes into account the function of the charging indicator light, can reduce the types of parts and lower the cost. By snap-fitting the light-emitting component 2 of the charging port box to the box body 1, the manufacturing process is simplified and the production man-hours are shortened.
