[0016] Compared with the prior art, the discharge assembly of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The discharge assembly provided by the present utility model is applied to an electric vehicle and includes a base, a connection unit and a cover plate. The base is disposed at the discharge port of the discharge assembly. The cover plate is connected to the base through the connection unit, and the cover plate can rotate through the connection unit to close or open the discharge port; the discharge assembly further includes an electromagnetic locking unit disposed on the base and a metal member disposed on the cover plate. The electromagnetic locking unit is connected to the controller of the electric vehicle, and the controller can energize or de-energize the electromagnetic locking unit so that the cover plate has a first state of being locked with the base and a second state in which the locked state with the base is released.

[0018] With the cooperation of the electromagnetic locking unit and the metal part, the cover plate has two states. The first state is that under the action of the controller, the electromagnetic locking unit on the base is powered on, generating a magnetic field. This magnetic field causes the metal part to be adsorbed and locked by the electromagnetic locking unit. Since the metal part is arranged on the cover plate, in this case, the cover plate is tightly adsorbed to the base, making the cover plate unable to be opened, avoiding the internal damage of the discharge port or the theft of the cover plate.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a discharge assembly. As shown in Figures 1-7 the figure, the discharge assembly is applied to an electric vehicle and includes a base 1, a connection unit 2, and a cover plate 3. The base 1 is arranged at the discharge port of the discharge assembly. The cover plate 3 is connected to the base 1 through the connection unit 2, and the cover plate 3 can rotate through the connection unit 2 to close or open the discharge port; the discharge assembly further includes an electromagnetic locking unit 4 arranged on the base 1 and a metal part 5 arranged on the cover plate 3. The electromagnetic locking unit 4 is connected to the controller of the electric vehicle, and the controller can energize or de-energize the electromagnetic locking unit 4 so that the cover plate 3 has a first state of being locked with the base 1 and a second state in which the locked state with the base 1 is released.

[0038] As a tool for energy storage, when an electric vehicle supplies power to external devices, it has a discharge port. A discharge assembly is arranged at this discharge port to protect the discharge port, prevent sundries, etc. from entering the discharge port, and of course also eliminate some potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to set a discharge assembly at the discharge port.

[0039] In the discharge assembly provided in this embodiment, it includes a base 1, a connection unit 2, and a cover plate 3. Among them, the middle of the base 1 has a notch. When the base 1 is fixed on the electric vehicle, the discharge port of the discharge assembly is exactly located at this notch. The cover plate 3 cooperates with the base 1 through the connection unit 2. Under the action of the connection unit 2, the cover plate 3 can rotate relative to the base 1, so that this notch is opened or covered, and then the discharge port is opened or closed. In this embodiment, one end of the cover plate 3 is connected to one end of the base 1 through the connection unit 2. Then, under the action of the connection unit 2, the other end of the cover plate 3 can rotate and open relative to the other end of the base 1.

[0040] In view of the situation that the traditional cover plate is easily opened, resulting in damage to the inside of the discharge port or theft of the cover plate, on the basis of the traditional structure, the discharge assembly in this embodiment also adds an electromagnetic locking unit 4 and a metal part 5, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the electromagnetic locking unit 4 is snap-fitted onto the base 1, and the metal part 5 is snap-fitted onto the cover plate 3. Moreover, the electromagnetic locking unit 4 is connected to the controller of the electric vehicle through a wire harness. The controller can energize or de-energize the electromagnetic locking unit 4 so that the cover plate 3 has a first state of being locked with the base 1 and a second state in which the locked state with the base 1 is released. Among them, the metal part 5 can be an iron sheet or the like.

[0041] Specifically, with the cooperation of the electromagnetic locking unit 4 and the metal part 5, the cover plate 3 has two states. The first state is: under the action of the controller, the electromagnetic locking unit 4 on the base 1 is energized, and it generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field causes the metal part 5 to be adsorbed and locked by the electromagnetic locking unit 4. Since the metal part 5 is arranged on the cover plate 3, in this case, the cover plate 3 is tightly adsorbed to the base 1, making the cover plate 3 unable to be opened, avoiding the situation that the inside of the discharge port is damaged or the cover plate is stolen. The second state is: under the action of the controller, the electromagnetic locking unit 4 on the base 1 is de-energized, and the generated magnetic field disappears, then the adsorption force of the electromagnetic locking unit 4 on the metal part 5 disappears. At this time, the cover plate 3 can be easily opened, facilitating discharging to external devices.

[0042] The discharge unit provided in this embodiment realizes the self-locking function of the cover plate 3 through the cooperation of the electromagnetic locking unit 4 and the metal part 5, making this discharge assembly suitable for use outside the vehicle, avoiding the situation that the inside of the discharge port is damaged or the cover plate is stolen after the cover plate 3 is randomly opened, and improving the user experience.

[0043] In addition, regarding how the controller controls the energization and de-energization of the electromagnetic locking unit 4, it can be set in advance according to the needs of the user. For example, when the electric vehicle is unlocked, at this time the controller stops energizing the electromagnetic locking unit 4, and then the cover plate 3 can be opened; on the contrary, when the electric vehicle is in the locked state, the controller supplies power to the electromagnetic locking unit 4, and then the cover plate 3 cannot be opened.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the electromagnetic locking unit 4 includes an electromagnet and a control module. The control module is communicatively connected to the controller, and the controller can control the electromagnet to be energized or de-energized through the control module.

[0045] Specifically, after the electromagnet and the control module are encapsulated together, they are snap-fitted to the bottom of the base 1. The electromagnet can generate a magnetic field after being energized. In this embodiment, the controller issues a command to the control module according to the state of the electric vehicle, and the control module controls the electromagnet to be energized or de-energized according to this command.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the base 1 includes a base body 11. At least part of the base body 11 is recessed inward. The cover plate 3 can be fitted in the recess, and the recess has an opening 12 corresponding to the discharge port.

[0047] Specifically, the general outline of the base 1 is a quadrilateral structure, the middle of the quadrilateral is recessed inward, and at the recess, there is an opening 12; in this way, when using the discharge assembly provided in this embodiment, the base body 11 is fixed on the vehicle body, and the opening 12 at the recess corresponds to the discharge port. When the discharge port is needed, the cover plate 3 can be opened.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a buffer block 13 is provided on the base 1, and the buffer block 13 is snap-fitted at the recess. One buffer block 13 can be provided, or two or three buffer blocks 13 can be provided. The material can be selected from rubber and other materials with certain elasticity; in addition, in order to realize the snap-fitting of the buffer block 13, grooves corresponding to the number of buffer blocks 13 are provided on the base body 11, and the buffer block 13 is arranged in the corresponding groove, and its upper surface extends out of the groove. When the cover plate 3 is matched with the base 1, the buffer block 13 plays a buffering role in the closing of the cover plate 3.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the discharge assembly further includes a seal 6, as Figure 7 shown, the seal 6 is arranged at the recess and is arranged around the opening 12; the cover plate 3 presses the seal 6 tightly and then cooperates with the base 1. At the above-mentioned recess, a fixing groove is arranged around the opening 12, and the seal 6 is arranged in the fixing groove.

[0050] In the case of rain, when the discharge port is needed, the cover plate 3 is opened, and an external device is inserted into the discharge port. The seal 6 can effectively isolate the rainwater dripping from the top. After the rainwater is collected at the seal 6, it will flow out of the vehicle, so that the discharge port can be opened and used in rainy days; when the discharge port is not used, the cover plate 3 is closed, and the cover plate 3 is tightly pressed against the base 1 to squeeze the seal 6, thereby realizing the sealing fit of the two, and also playing a role in preventing rainwater from leaking. That is to say, the setting of the seal 6 increases the overall waterproof performance of the cover plate 3.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the connection unit 2 includes a rotating shaft 21, the rotating shaft 21 is snap-fitted on the base 1, and one side of the cover plate 3 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 through a shaft hole 31.

[0052] The general outline of the cover plate 3 is a quadrilateral structure. On one side of the quadrilateral structure, a connecting portion 32 extends, and the connecting portion 32 has a shaft hole 31, as Figure 3 shown; on the base body 11, there is an installation groove 14 for installing the rotating shaft 21, as Figure 7As shown, after the rotating shaft 21 passes through the shaft hole 31, one end is fixed on one side wall of the installation groove 14, and the other end is fixed on the other side wall of the installation groove 14. Under the action of the rotating shaft 21, the cover plate 3 can rotate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the cover plate 3.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the connecting unit 2 further includes a first elastic member 22 and a second elastic member 23 sleeved on the rotating shaft 21. After the cover plate 3 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 21, the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic member 23 are respectively located on both sides of the shaft hole 31. Among them, both the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic member 23 are springs. Of course, the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic member 23 can also be other elastic structures.

[0054] When the cover plate 3 is opened relative to the base 1, if no external force is applied to the cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 will close under the action of the return force of the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic member 23; in this embodiment, when the cover plate 3 is opened, a discharge port is required. When the plug of an external device is inserted into the discharge port, the cover plate 3 is buckled on the back of the plug, which not only provides support for the cover plate 3, but also plays a role in blocking part of the rain when it rains.

[0055] The discharge assembly provided in this embodiment has the functions of preventing theft and damage due to the addition of the electromagnetic locking unit 4 and the metal part 5; and the addition of the sealing member 6 makes the discharge assembly have a waterproof function. Therefore, the discharge assembly provided in this embodiment can be applied not only inside the vehicle but also outside the vehicle.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] This embodiment provides an electric vehicle, as Figure 8 shown, the electric vehicle includes a vehicle body 8 and the discharge assembly described in Embodiment 1, and the discharge assembly is arranged on the vehicle body 8.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the electric vehicle further includes a plurality of claws 7, and the plurality of claws 7 are arranged at the bottom of the base 1, and the discharge assembly is clamped on the vehicle body 8 through the claws 7.

[0059] More specifically, the discharge assembly is clamped on the vehicle body 8 through the claws 7, and can be clamped on the outer sheet metal of the vehicle body 8 or on the guard plate of the vehicle body 8; the setting of the claws 7 makes the cooperation between the discharge assembly and the vehicle body not require screws or bolts, etc., making the cooperation simpler and the installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0060] In addition, the discharge assembly can be arranged in the cargo box, but it should be noted that when the discharge assembly is arranged in the cargo box, inside the cargo box A drain hole needs to be set, and the water flowing down from the seal 6 can be discharged through the drain hole.

[0061] In the electric vehicle provided in this embodiment, the discharging assembly includes an electromagnetic locking unit 4. The electromagnetic locking unit 4 is connected to the controller of the electric vehicle by a wiring harness. The electromagnetic locking unit 4 includes an electromagnet and a control module. The control module interacts with the controller of the electric vehicle. When the electric vehicle is running or the electric vehicle is locked, the controller gives a locking signal to the electromagnetic locking unit 4, and the electromagnetic locking unit 4 is powered on. The electromagnet attracts the metal part 5 on the cover plate 3. At this time, the cover plate 3 is closely fitted with the base 1, and the cover plate 3 cannot be opened casually, which has the functions of anti-theft and anti-destruction. When the in-vehicle switch of the electric vehicle or the switch of the vehicle remote control key is unlocked, the vehicle controller receives the unlocking signal and outputs an instruction to the electromagnetic locking unit 4 at the same time. At this time, the electromagnet is powered off, and the cover plate 3 can be opened and can be connected to external devices.

[0062] In summary, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, on the premise of no conflict, the above-mentioned advantageous technical features can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0063] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention.
