[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 , there is shown a ventilation cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In an exemplary embodiment, the ventilation cover assembly 1100 includes a ventilation cover 1 and a cover 2, and the cover 2 is detachably connected to the ventilation cover 1.

[0038] As shown in conjunction with Figure 2 , the ventilation cover 1 is provided with a filling port 101. The filling port 101 corresponds to the liquid inlet part 1200, and a filling gun 2000 can be placed at the filling port 101.

The ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 includes a plurality of covers 2, for example, including a first cover 210 and a second cover 220. Each cover 2 can be used to be installed at the corresponding filling port 101, or interchangeability can be achieved. As Figure 1 shown, after the cover 2 is connected to the ventilation cover plate 1, it can cover the filling port 101. If the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is an integral structure, the filling gun 2000 will be blocked; while in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the cover 2 is disassembled from the ventilation cover plate 1, the filling port 101 and the liquid inlet part 1200 are exposed.

[0040] The ventilation cover plate 1 has an outer peripheral edge 102. Exemplarily, in the space, the X-axis direction is the front-back direction, and the outer peripheral edge 102 can be the front edge of the ventilation cover plate 1. Exemplarily, the cover 2 can have a complementary edge 202. After the cover 2 is installed on the ventilation cover plate 1, the complementary edge 202 can be continuous with the outer peripheral edge 102. The front edge of the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is complete and continuous, and thus the overall shape is complete and smooth.

[0041] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the cover 2 includes a clamping member 21. The clamping member 21 can be clamped to the ventilation cover plate 1. The clamping position of the clamping member 21 is inside the outer peripheral edge 102 of the ventilation cover plate 1. Exemplarily, the position of the clamping member 21 is inside the complementary edge 202. By configuring the position of the clamping member 21, the appearance of the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is ensured to be coherent and complete.

[0042] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 4 , the cover 2 further includes a cover body 23. Along the Z-axis direction, the clamping member 21 can be located below the cover body 23. After the cover 2 is installed, the cover body 23 can completely cover the clamping member 21. Further, during the installation process of the cover 2, the cover body 23 can also cover the clamping member 21.

[0043] By providing the detachable cover 2, both the overall use function of the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is ensured, and the filling operation can be carried out. The cover 2 of the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is convenient to disassemble and install, and can be used in the vehicle 1000 with a compact layout.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the ventilation cover plate 1 includes an installation groove body 11 for opening the filling port 101. The inner side wall 111 of the installation groove body 11 and the outer peripheral edge 102 can be arranged opposite to each other along the X-axis direction. The installation groove body 11 can further include two side walls, and the side walls are connected between the inner side wall and the outer peripheral edge 102. A guide groove 103 is opened on the inner side wall 111. Figure 2The filling port 101 shown is suitable for installing the first cover 210. The first cover 210 is installed in the installation groove 11. Refer to Figure 1 , the surfaces of the first cover 210 and the ventilation cover plate 1 are substantially flush. The outer shape of the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is coherent and complete.

[0045] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , among the multiple covers 2, the first cover 210 and the second cover 220 can both include limit teeth 22, and the limit teeth 22 are inserted through the corresponding guide grooves 103. When installing the cover 2, the limit teeth 22 can be first aligned with the guide grooves 103 and then at least partially inserted, and then the cover 2 can be pressed to engage the engaging member 21 with the installation groove 11. The cover 2 is installed smoothly, and the guide groove 103 can also fix the limit teeth 22 in the Z-axis direction after installation. When disassembling the cover 2, the engaging member 21 can be first unhooked, and then the limit teeth 22 can be disengaged from the guide groove 103.

[0046] In some embodiments, two guide grooves 103 are provided on the inner side wall 111, and the two guide grooves 103 are spaced apart, for example, located on both sides of the filling port 101 along the Y-axis direction. The integrity of the inner side wall 111 can be ensured between the two guide grooves 103, and the structural strength of the installation groove 11 is good. The two limit teeth 22 of the cover 2 are correspondingly inserted through the two guide grooves 103, and a relatively stable fit can be achieved.

[0047] Exemplarily, the engaging positions of the two engaging members 21 of the cover 2 are on both sides of the filling port 101. The cover 2 can achieve four-point positioning with the ventilation cover plate 1, and a relatively stable and firm installation state can be achieved based on a relatively simple structure.

[0048] In some embodiments, the installation groove 11 is provided with a card slot 104 for engaging the engaging member 21. By providing the card slot 104, it is helpful to more accurately position the engaging member 21, and then accurately position the cover 2 and the ventilation cover plate 1. The slot opening of the card slot 104 can communicate with the filling port 101, and the filling port 101 is also provided on the peripheral edge 102. The structure at the filling port 101 is relatively simple and convenient for filling.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the bottom wall 112 of the installation groove 11 is provided with a limit boss 113. At the same time, refer to Figure 3, the cover 2 is provided with a limiting groove 201, and the limiting groove 201 matches the shape of the limiting boss 113 for guiding the engaging part 21 to be inserted into the clamping groove 104. Since the engaging part 21 is located inside the supplementary edge 202, when installing the cover 2, the operator cannot see the engaging part 21. When the limiting tooth 22 has a relative deviation from the guide groove 103, the cover 2 has a rotational deviation in the XY plane compared to the ideal pose, and the engaging part 21 may be misaligned. By providing the limiting boss 113, it helps to accurately position the cover 2, avoid installation deviation, and is also beneficial to avoid damage to the engaging part 21.

[0050] The ventilation cover plate 1 may include a plate body 13, and the installation groove body 11 is recessed in the plate body 13. The plate body 13 has an outer peripheral edge 102. In the XY plane, the position of the installation groove body 11 corresponds to the outer peripheral edge 102, and along the Y-axis direction, the position of the installation groove body 11 is designed according to the liquid inlet part 1200 to be matched.

[0051] In some embodiments, the ventilation cover plate 1 includes a convex rib 12, and the convex rib 12 is juxtaposed with the outer peripheral edge 102. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the cover 2 may include a supplementary convex rib 26. As shown in Figure 1 , after the cover 2 is installed, the supplementary convex rib 26 can be continuous with the convex rib 12. After the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 is assembled to the vehicle 1000, it will also cooperate with other body parts. The convex rib 12 is beneficial to realize assembly and also helps to prevent dust and water.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, the position of the limiting boss 113 corresponds to the convex rib 12, and the ventilation cover plate 1 has a compact structure and high space utilization rate. The limiting groove 201 corresponds to the position of the supplementary convex rib 26.

[0053] In some embodiments, the inner side wall 111 is substantially opposite to the outer peripheral edge 102 along the X-axis direction. Along the X-axis direction, the bottom dimension of the limiting boss 113 is larger than the top dimension. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting boss 113 in the XZ plane is generally trapezoidal, and the two waists can also be arcs. The limiting groove 201 can be smoothly buckled on the limiting boss 113, and the cover 2 can be smoothly installed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cover 2 includes a cover body 23 and a sealing strip 24. The sealing strip 24 is arranged along the periphery of the cover body 23, and the cover body 23 and the ventilation cover plate 1 clamp the sealing strip 24. The sealing strip 24 can be a foam structure, which is beneficial to the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100 to achieve effects such as pressing, preventing abnormal noise, sound insulation, dust prevention, and waterproofing.

[0055] Optionally, the outer peripheral contour of the first cover 210 is generally rectangular. The sealing strip 24 can be arranged on three sides, and the supplementary edge 202 can be left vacant to ensure the sealing state of the other three sides. When actually installing the ventilation cover plate assembly 1100, it can have a certain inclination.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 , the outer peripheral contour of the second cover 220 along the XY plane is generally trapezoidal, and the sealing strip 24 is arranged along the periphery of the cover body 23 of the second cover 220.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cover 2 further includes a retaining wall 25 that surrounds the sealing strip 24. The retaining wall 25 helps to limit the shape of the sealing strip 24 after being clamped and ensures the service life.

[0058] Exemplarily, the engaging member 21 is located inside the inner circle of the sealing strip 24 and is completely covered by the cover body 23. The sealing strip 24 is outside the engaging member 21, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect.

[0059] Exemplarily, the limiting teeth 22 are fixed to the cover body 23 or the retaining wall 25, which is convenient for connection, and the overall thickness of the ventilation cover assembly 1100 is relatively thin.

[0060] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an automobile 1000, which includes a ventilation cover assembly 1100 and also includes a liquid inlet portion 1200. The ventilation cover assembly 1100 at least partially covers the liquid inlet portion 1200.

[0061] On the one hand, the structure of the automobile 1000 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is compact, and the refueling of the oil and liquid is ensured. On the other hand, the automobile 1000 including the ventilation cover assembly 1100 can have a more sufficient installation layout space.

[0062] The technical features of the above-disclosed embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0063] The above-disclosed embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation to the patent protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the patent protection scope required by the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
