Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present utility model relate to the technical field of electric vehicles, and particularly to a fixing module for an electronic lock pull rope. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a charging seat for docking with a charging gun is provided on a new energy electric vehicle to supply electrical energy to an on-vehicle battery. To prevent the charging gun from accidentally separating from the charging seat during the charging process, an electronic lock is usually installed on the charging seat. During charging, the electronic lock locks the charging gun inserted into the charging seat onto the charging seat. At the same time, to avoid the problem that the electronic lock cannot be electrically unlocked in case of a failure, a manual unlocking structure such as a pull rope is generally added to the electronic lock. When the electronic lock fails and cannot be electrically unlocked, the switch of the electronic lock can be reset to the unlocked position by pulling the pull rope, thereby achieving manual unlocking.

[0003] In the related art, one end of the pull rope extends into the interior of the housing of the electronic lock to be connected to a switch inside the housing, and the other end (generally called the tail end) usually has a finger loop and generally freely hangs outside the housing of the electronic lock.

[0004] However, during actual use, the pull rope is prone to shaking and being caught in the sheet metal structure of the vehicle body, which easily causes the pull rope of the electronic lock to be stuck and affects the normal use of the electronic lock. Summary of the Utility Model

Specifically, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the fixing module 10 includes a housing 11 and a button 12 movably disposed within the housing 11. The button 12 is connected to the tail end of the electronic lock pull rope 2 for pulling the electronic lock pull rope 2. By pressing the button 12, the electronic lock pull rope 2 is pulled, thereby realizing the unlocking operation of the electronic lock 1. At the same time, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, in the fixing module 10, the housing 11 is provided with at least one snap member 13 for conveniently and quickly fixing the fixing module 10 to the surface of the vehicle body or vehicle body parts (such as the surface of the vehicle body or vehicle body parts of a new energy vehicle). According to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the fixing module 10 is detachably fixed to the surface of the vehicle body or vehicle body parts through at least one snap member 13.

[0027] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the housing 11 is made of an insulating material such as plastic, is substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped, and has a groove 14. The button 12 is made of an insulating material such as plastic, has a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the button 12 is movably disposed in the groove 14. At the same time, a rope passing hole is formed at one end of the housing 11, and the tail end of the electronic lock pull rope 2 enters the groove 14 of the housing 11 through this rope passing hole and is connected to the button 12 disposed in the groove 14. More specifically, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the figure, the tail end of the electronic lock pull rope 2 is fixed to the clamping portion 122 on the bottom surface of the button 12 by, for example, being clamped, as Figure 4 shown. Of course, in other embodiments, the tail end of the electronic lock pull rope 2 can also be fixed to the button in other suitable ways, which is not limited herein.

[0028] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, at least one snap member 13 includes four snap members 13, and the four snap members 13 are protruding portions respectively protruding outward from the four outer side surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped housing 11. With such a structure, the housing 11 can be conveniently and quickly fixed to the vehicle body through these four snap members, thereby fixing the entire fixing module 10 to the vehicle body. Of course, in other embodiments, other suitable fixing structures can also be adopted between the housing 11 of the fixing module 10 and the vehicle body according to design requirements.

[0029] Specifically, asFigures 1 to 5 As shown, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the button 12 is configured to be able to move between a first position P1 (as shown) and a second position P2 (as shown) within the groove 14 of the housing 11. When the button 12 is in the first position P1, the electronic lock pull cord 2 is in an initial state where it has not been pulled. When the button 12 is in the second position P2, the electronic lock pull cord 2 is in an unlocked state where it has been pulled to unlock the electronic lock 1. More specifically, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the figure, the button 12 is further configured to be able to move linearly in a sliding manner between the first position P1 and the second position P2 within the groove 14 of the housing 11. Figure 2 as shown in Figure 4 the figure, between a first position P1 and a second position P2 (as shown in the figure). When the button 12 is located at the first position P1, the electronic lock pull cord 2 is in an initial state where it has not been pulled. When the button 12 is located at the second position P2, the electronic lock pull cord 2 is in an unlocked state where it has been pulled to unlock the electronic lock 1.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 particularly Figure 4 as shown in the figure, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model, the fixing module 10 further includes: an elastic member 15, the elastic member 15 is disposed within the housing 11 and elastically acts on the button 12. Specifically, the fixing module 10 includes a pair of elastic members 15, the pair of elastic members 15 are disposed within the groove 14 of the housing 11 and are respectively located on both sides of the button 12. One end of each elastic member 15 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 14 of the housing 11, and the other end abuts against the lug 121 on the corresponding side of the button 12. According to the present utility model, when no external force is applied to the button 12, the elastic member 15 supports the button 12 at the first position P1 (as shown in Figure 2 the figure); when an external force is applied to the button 12 (for example, when the operator's finger extends into the groove 14 and presses the button 12), the elastic force of the elastic member 15 is overcome to move the button 12 from the first position P1 within the groove 14 of the housing 11 to the second position P2; when the external force applied to the button 12 is cancelled (for example, when the operator removes the finger from the groove 14), the button 12 moves back from the second position P2 to the first position P1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 15. With such a structure, after unlocking, the button 12 in the fixing module 10 automatically resets under the action of the elastic member 15, so that the electronic lock pull cord 2 can automatically return to the initial state. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the elastic member 15 is a tension spring.
