[0078] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0079] Referring Figures 1 to 11 , the present application provides a charging port assembly 100. The charging port assembly 100 can be integrated on a vehicle 10, for example, and is used to assemble and connect a charging interface for connecting an external charging connector 200 that is electrically connected to the power supply of the vehicle 10 itself. Thus, after the charging interface is connected to the external charging connector 200 and the external charging connector 200 is electrically connected to a charging pile, the charging pile is used to charge the power supply of the vehicle 10 itself.

[0080] The charging port assembly 100 can also be used as a part of the charging pile to connect with the charging interface. In this embodiment, under the usage scenario where the charging port assembly 100 is integrated on the vehicle 10, the concept of the charging port assembly 100 of the present application is exemplarily described.

[0081] The charging port assembly 100 provided by some embodiments of the present application includes: a mounting base 110 and a water collecting device 120.

[0082] Referring Figure 2 , the mounting base 110 is formed with a base through hole 110a for forming a charging port. The charging port mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to the opening where the external charging connector 200 of the charging port assembly 100 is inserted to connect with the charging interface. As a part of the opening of the charging port assembly 100, the base through hole 110a can allow the external charging connector 200 to be inserted from one side of the mounting base 110.

[0083] In the present application, the side of the mounting base 110 where the external charging connector 200 is inserted is defined as the outer side of the mounting base 110, and the other side opposite to the side where the external charging connector 200 is inserted is defined as the inner side of the mounting base 110. When the mounting base 110 is integrated on the vehicle 10, the outer side of the mounting base 110 is close to the outside of the vehicle 10, and the inner side of the mounting base 110 is close to the inside of the vehicle 10. The charging interface connected to the internal power supply of the vehicle 10 is assembled on the inner side of the mounting base 110.

[0084] The water collecting device 120 is formed with a water collecting tank body 121. The water collecting tank body 121 is arranged on the inner side of the mounting base 110 and is used to receive the fluid medium that enters the inner side of the mounting base 110 from the base through hole 110a. For the fluid medium, it may be, for example, water, water vapor, etc. that enter the water collecting tank body 121 from the outer side of the mounting base 110.

[0085] With the above solution, by providing a water collecting tank body 121 inside the mounting base 110, water entering from the charging port can be collected, thereby preventing the water flow from flowing along the body wall of the charging compartment towards the vehicle body and avoiding the accumulation of water vapor inside the vehicle body.

[0086] In some embodiments, the water collecting device 120 is provided with a drainage channel 120a communicating with the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121 to drain the water collected by the water collecting tank body 121 through the drainage channel 120a.

[0087] In some embodiments, at least part of the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121 is disposed between the base through hole 110a and the drainage channel 120a, that is, water can enter the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121 from the base through hole 110a for collection and can be discharged through the drainage channel 120a.

[0088] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , at least part of the mounting base 110 is located inside the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121. Water vapor can converge inside the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121, and the water vapor between the water collecting tank body 121 and the mounting base 110 can be discharged from the drainage channel 120a.

[0089] In this way, by providing the drainage channel 120a on the water collecting tank body 121, even if external water vapor enters the inside of the mounting base from the base through hole 110a, it can be discharged from the drainage channel 120a, avoiding the accumulation of water vapor inside the charging port assembly 100, thereby improving the safety of using the charging port.

[0090] In some embodiments, the base through hole 110a penetrates the mounting base 110 along a first straight line direction. In a second straight line direction perpendicular to the first straight line direction, the length of the body wall of the mounting base 110 forming the base through hole 110a is less than the length of the body wall of the water collecting tank body 121. This setting can ensure that the water collecting tank body 121 can surround the body wall of the mounting base 110 forming the base through hole 110a, thereby ensuring that the water collecting tank body 121 can collect fluid media.

[0091] The present application does not limit the contour shape of the drainage channel 120a. For example, the drainage channel 120a is a rectangular groove formed at the bottom of the water collecting tank body 121 and extending along the second straight line direction. Or, reference Figure 11 , the drainage channel 120a can also be configured as a plurality of through holes penetrating the water collecting tank body 121.

[0092] In some embodiments, the water collecting device 120 has a guiding inner wall 121a for guiding water to the drainage channel 120a, and the guiding direction of the guiding inner wall 121a intersects obliquely with the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a.

[0093] Reference Figures 1 to 11 As shown, for the convenience of introduction, the upper, lower, left, right, front, and rear orientations are adopted in the corresponding drawings to facilitate the introduction of the relative position relationship between various parts of the present application, and it should not be construed as a limitation of the absolute position. Among them, the above-mentioned first linear direction can correspond to the front-rear direction in the drawings, and the second linear direction can correspond to the left-right direction in the drawings.

[0094] In some embodiments, the drainage channel 120a is located below the base through hole 110a.

[0095] Moreover, in the present application, the directions of the inner side and the outer side of the mounting base 110 correspond to the front-rear direction, and the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a corresponds to the left-right direction. Here, the directions of the inner side and the outer side of the mounting base 110 indicating the front-rear direction are only for the convenience of introducing the specific embodiments of the present application, and there is no absolute corresponding relationship between the two. Similarly, there is no absolute corresponding relationship between the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a and the left-right direction.

[0096] Reference Figure 6 , the guiding inner wall 121a extends obliquely in the front-rear direction, and the guiding direction of the guiding inner wall 121a is inclined to the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a. In the figure, it is shown that the guiding inner wall 121a is inclined to the up-down direction from the end far away from the drainage channel 120a to the end close to the drainage channel 120a, and the end of the guiding inner wall 121a far away from the drainage channel 120a is higher than its end close to the drainage channel 120a, so that the water inside the water collecting tank body 121 can flow along the guiding inner wall 121a to the drainage channel 120a.

[0097] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 , if the inclination angle between the guiding direction and the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a is too small, water vapor in the water collecting tank body 121 is likely to accumulate; since the base through hole 110a extends basically in the front-rear direction, and the water collecting tank body 121 needs to collect the water introduced at the base through hole 110a, the water collecting tank body 121 should at least cover the inner wall surface of the mounting base 110 in the front-rear direction. At this time, if the inclination angle between the guiding direction and the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a is too large, it is difficult to balance the dimensions of the water collecting tank body 121 in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

[0098] In the present application, the value range of the inclination angle α between the water guiding direction of the water guiding inner wall 121a and the extending direction of the drainage channel 120a can be further limited to be 5° to 30°. For example, the inclination angle value can be 10°, so as to facilitate the drainage of the water in the water collecting tank 121 while facilitating the control of the size of the water collecting tank 121.

[0099] In some embodiments, the base through hole 110a is arranged within the area covered by the water collecting device 120. Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the base through hole 110a is located above the water collecting device 120, and the projections of the left and right wall surfaces and the front and rear wall surfaces of the water collecting tank 121 in the horizontal plane are all located outside the peripheral wall of the base through hole 110a or coincide with the peripheral wall of the base through hole 110a, so that the water entering the inside of the mounting base 110 from the base through hole 110a can fall into the water collecting tank 121 and be discharged along the drainage channel 120a.

[0100] In some embodiments, the water collecting device 120 is provided with a first opening 121b and a second opening 121c that respectively open the water collecting tank 121 in different first directions and second directions. Among them, the drainage channel 120a is arranged on the opposite side of the first opening 121b. The base through hole 110a is at least partially arranged inside the second opening 121c.

[0101] The first direction and the second direction in the present application are only for expressing the relative positional relationship, and they only indicate the general orientation, rather than the absolute geometric relationship.

[0102] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 , when the charging port assembly 100 is assembled to the vehicle 10, the first direction can be the up-down direction, and the first opening 121b is arranged above the water collecting tank 121. Thus, the drainage channel 120a is arranged on the opposite side of the first opening 121b, that is, the drainage channel 120a is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting tank 121, so that the water collected in the water collecting tank 121 can be fully discharged from the drainage channel 120a.

[0103] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 , the second direction can be the front-back direction, and the second opening 121c is arranged at the rear side of the water collecting tank 121. The base through hole 110a is at least partially arranged inside the second opening 121c, that is, the mounting base 110 is at least partially located in the space defined by the water collecting tank 121 in the left-right direction.

[0104] In a specific solution, the water collecting tank body 121 can be configured to be fixedly installed on the installation base 110 at the second open end 121c, and at least a part of the installation base 110 extends into the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121 from the second open end 121c. This setting can make the base through hole 110a located between the first open end 121b and the second open end 121c, ensuring that the water collecting tank body 121 has a good collecting effect on the water that seeps into the inner side of the installation base 110 from the base through hole 110a.

[0105] In some embodiments, the water collecting device 120 is provided with a front wall surface 121d opposite to the second open end 121c, and the front wall surface 121d is provided with an avoidance notch 121e communicating with the first open end 121b.

[0106] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 , the front wall surface 121d is formed at the rear side of the water collecting tank body 121, and the rear side wall of the installation base 110 forming the installation through hole is located between the front wall surface 121d and the second open end 121c, so that the water entering the inner side of the installation base 110 from the base through hole 110a can at least fall into the water collecting tank body 121 and can be discharged from the drainage channel 120a at the bottom of the water collecting tank body 121. When the charging port assembly 100 is integrated into the vehicle 10, the avoidance notch 121e can avoid the charging interface of the vehicle 10 so that it can face the charging port; or, the avoidance notch 121e can avoid the external charging connector 200 so that it can be connected to the charging interface of the vehicle 10.

[0107] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes: a first sealing ring 130.

[0108] Wherein, the first sealing ring 130 is arranged on the side of the body wall of the installation base 110 forming the charging port away from the water collecting tank body 121 and surrounds the charging port. It is used to form a layer of seal for the charging port. When the charging interface is inserted into the charging port to charge the vehicle 10, the first sealing ring 130 is used to prevent water vapor in the external environment from entering the inner side of the installation base 110.

[0109] In some embodiments, the installation base 110 further includes: a connecting member 116 and a covering member 111. Among them, the connecting member 116 is connected to the water collecting tank body 121, and the connection method between the two is, for example, interference fit, snap connection, threaded connection, etc. The covering member 111 is arranged on one side of the connecting member 116 along the direction in which the charging connector 200 is inserted into the charging port from the outside of the installation base 110. Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7, the cover 111 is generally an assembly on the side of the connecting member 116 away from the water collecting tank body 121, arranged on the outside of the mounting base 110, and may be provided with, for example, patterns or flat surfaces for making the mounting base 110 more beautiful.

[0110] The charging port penetrates through the mounting base 110 and the cover 111, that is, when the charging connector 200 is inserted into the charging port, it can pass through the cover 111. The first sealing ring 130 is arranged around the outer periphery of the part of the cover 111 penetrated by the charging port, and is arranged on the side of the cover 111 away from the connecting member 116, so that the first sealing ring 130 can form a seal between the charging connector 200 and the cover 111.

[0111] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , the connecting member 116 includes an interface portion 114 and a mounting portion 115.

[0112] Among them, the interface portion 114 forms a base through hole 110a, that is, referring to Figures 1 to 2 , the interface portion 114 is specifically a structural member of the mounting base 110 located on the left side of the cover 111, that is, the interface portion 114 can be at least a part of the connecting member 116. The mounting portion 115 forms a mounting surface 115a for connecting with an external structure. The interface portion 114 and the mounting portion 115 are integrally formed. When the charging port assembly 100 is used for assembly on the vehicle 10, the mounting portion 115 can specifically be a skin. Through the scheme of integrally forming the skin outside the vehicle 10 and the interface portion 114 for mounting the charging interface, the assembly gap between the skin and the rest of the charging port assembly 100 can be reduced, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the charging port assembly 100.

[0113] In some embodiments, the mounting base 110 and the cover 111 are fixedly connected, and the connection method can be, for example, snap-fastening. The connecting member 116 is provided with a mounting groove body 112 recessed inward, and the charging port is at least formed at the bottom of the groove body of the mounting groove body 112. The part of the cover 111 forming the receiving groove body 113 is embedded in the mounting groove body 112. The cover 111 is provided with a receiving groove body 113 recessed toward the mounting base 110, and the charging port is at least formed at the bottom of the groove body of the receiving groove body 113.

[0114] The base through hole 110a is provided at the bottom of the groove body of the mounting groove body 112, that is, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the bottom of the groove body of the mounting groove body 112 is located on the left side of the mounting groove body 112, and the base through hole 110a penetrates through the mounting groove body 112 in the front-rear direction. The bottom of the groove body of the receiving groove body 113 is located at the rear side of the receiving groove body 113, so that the charging port penetrates through the mounting groove body 112 and the receiving groove body 113 in the front-rear direction. That is, the charging port includes both the base through hole 110a formed in the mounting base 110 and the part penetrating through the cover 111.

[0115] During actual assembly, the charging interface of the vehicle 10 can be fixed to the mounting base 110, and the charging interface is blocked by the covering member 111 and does not directly contact the mounting base 110. When inserting the charging connector 200, the covering member 111 can be used for buffering to prevent damage to the charging interface, the mounting base 110, etc. caused by violent plugging.

[0116] In some embodiments, a drain channel 110b is formed in the mounting base 110 between the first sealing ring 130 and the water collecting device 120, and the drain channel 110b is communicated with the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121.

[0117] Reference Figure 5 , the drain channel 110b is located below the first sealing ring 130 and above the water collecting tank body 121. The drain channel 110b is also located between the mounting base 110 and the covering member 111. Even if the first sealing ring 130 is partially damaged and the sealing effect is reduced, and water in the external environment enters from the charging port, it can flow into the water collecting tank body 121 through the drain channel 110b.

[0118] In some embodiments, the two ends of the drain channel 110b are respectively connected between the space defined by the water collecting tank body 121 and the space defined by the mounting groove body 112. That is, reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the drain channel 110b is formed in the concave part of the mounting groove body 112, and the drain channel 110b is located in the space where the water collecting tank body 121 can accumulate water, or the drain channel 110b is located directly above the space where the water collecting tank body 121 can accumulate water, so that the water flowing through the drain channel 110b can fall into the water collecting tank body 121 and be discharged from the drain channel 120a. And, the drain channel 110b is located in the space jointly limited by the mounting groove body 112 and the receiving groove body 113, that is, the drain channel 110b is located between the mounting groove body 112 and the receiving groove body 113 in the up and down direction. Thus, when water vapor enters the front side of the receiving groove body 113 and does not enter the rear side of the mounting groove body 112, it can be discharged from the drain channel 110b to the water collecting tank body 121.

[0119] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes a door panel 140.

[0120] Wherein, the door panel 140 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 110 or the covering member 111 and at least has a closed position and an open position relative to the covering member 111. When the door panel 140 is in the closed position, it covers the outside of the mounting base 110 to close the charging port. When the door panel 140 is in the open position, the charging port is open to insert the charging connector 200 into the charging port.

[0121] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes a second sealing ring 150.

[0122] Wherein, the second sealing ring 150 is disposed between the covering member 111 and the door panel 140.

When the door panel 140 is in the closed position, the second sealing ring 150 is in contact with the covering member 111 and the door panel 140 respectively.

[0123] Reference Figure 6 , one side of the door panel 140 is hinged to the covering member 111 through a hinge shaft, so that the door panel 140 can rotate relative to the covering member 111. When the vehicle 10 is not being charged, the door panel 140 is rotated to the closed position to enclose the space between the mounting base 110 and the door panel 140. The second type of sealing member can improve the sealing performance between the covering member 111 and the door panel 140. In this way, through the cooperation of the first type of sealing member and the second type of sealing member, the overall sealing performance of the charging port assembly 100 is further improved. And even if water vapor enters the interior of the charging port assembly 100, it can be discharged through the drainage channel 120a. Therefore, the use safety of the charging port assembly 100 can be improved.

[0124] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , a torsion spring 143 is disposed between the door panel 140 and the covering member 111, so that under the elastic force of the torsion spring 143, the door panel 140 has a tendency to remain in the closed position or the open position relative to the covering member 111.

[0125] When the door panel 140 rotates to the open position, the charging connector 200 can be inserted into the charging port to charge the vehicle 10.

[0126] In some embodiments, the second sealing ring 150 is fixedly disposed on one side of the covering member 111 close to the door panel 140 along the direction in which the charging connector 200 is inserted into the charging port from the outside of the mounting base 110. That is, the second sealing ring 150 does not move with the rotation of the door panel 140.

[0127] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the door panel 140 includes an outer door panel 142 and an inner door panel 141. Wherein, the outer door panel 142 is fixedly disposed on the side of the inner door panel 141 away from the covering member 111, and the outer door panel 142 and the inner door panel 141 are fixed by means of snap connection or the like. In this way, when the outer door panel 142 is damaged due to external force collision or the like, the outer door panel 142 can be separately removed for repair or replacement.

[0128] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes: a lighting lamp 170. Wherein, reference Figure 2, the lighting lamp 170 is fixed at the assembly position on the covering member 111 around the charging port, and is used to provide light during charging to indicate that the vehicle 10 is in a charging state.

[0129] In some embodiments, one charging port may be provided on the charging port assembly 100, or two or more than two charging ports may be provided, which can be set according to actual needs. Correspondingly, the number of lighting lamps 170 can be one, or two or more than two.

[0130] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes a power-off switch 180. Refer to Figure 2 , the power-off switch 180 is fixedly arranged in the corresponding groove on the covering member 111. The power-off switch 180 can be a low-voltage power-off switch 180, or a high-voltage power-off switch 180, or a combination of a low-voltage power-off switch 180 and a high-voltage power-off switch 180. When charging the vehicle 10, the power between the charging connector 200 and the vehicle 10 can be cut off by pressing the power-off switch 180.

[0131] In some embodiments, the charging port assembly 100 further includes a latch 160. The latch 160 is arranged on the door panel 140 and / or the covering member 111, and is used to lock the door panel 140 in the closed position. The structure of the latch 160 will not be elaborated here.
