[0027] A self-balancing scooter, also known as an electric self-balancing scooter or a self-balancing scooter, is a personal mobility device based on dynamic stabilization technology. It can be driven on a variety of terrains, including flat ground, slopes, and grassy areas, offering high flexibility. Furthermore, it is electrically powered, produces no exhaust emissions, and is environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.

[0028] A charging connector is generally provided on the body of the balancing vehicle to charge the balancing vehicle. Part of the charging connector is located inside the balancing vehicle, and part of the charging connector protrudes from the surface of the balancing vehicle.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the charging connector of the balance car includes: a female socket inner frame 100, a magnetic attraction part (not shown) and a dust cover 200.

[0030] The female base inner frame 100 has a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 disposed opposite to each other.

[0031] It is worth noting that when the balancing car charging connector is installed on the balancing car, part of the female seat inner frame 100 and the back 210 of the dust cover 200 are set on the body of the balancing car, that is, the first surface 110 is set toward the inside of the body of the balancing car, and the second surface 120 is set toward the outside of the body of the balancing car.

[0032] See Figure 1 An escape groove is provided at one end of the female base inner frame 100 , and the escape groove is used to accommodate the bending portion 220 described below, so that the dust cover 200 fits more closely to the female base inner frame 100 .

[0033] There are multiple magnetic members and they are installed on the female base inner frame 100. There are two magnetic members, which are spaced apart along the length of the female base inner frame 100. The two magnetic members cooperate with the magnet sheet 240 described below to ensure that the panel portion 230 of the dust cover 200 can be more firmly attached to the second surface 120.

[0034] Among them, the magnetic component is installed on the inner frame 100 of the female seat, and the end of the magnetic component away from the magnet sheet 240 extends out of the inner frame 100 of the female seat. In this way, the magnetic component can be threadedly connected to the end of the magnetic component away from the magnet sheet 240 through a nut, thereby fixing the magnetic component in the inner frame 100 of the female seat.

[0035] The dust cover 200 includes: a back 210, a bending portion 220 and a panel portion 230. The back 210 is arranged on one side of the first surface 110. The bending portion 220 is connected between the back 210 and the panel portion 230. The panel portion 230 can be optionally covered on one side of the second surface 120. The panel portion 230 is provided with magnet pieces 240 with the same number as the magnetic parts. The magnet pieces 240 are magnetically engaged with the magnetic parts. The panel portion 230 is configured to cover the second surface 120.

[0036] In the dust cover 200 , the thickness of the panel portion 230 is greater than the thickness of the back portion 210 , so that the panel portion 230 has enough space to accommodate the magnet piece 240 . In addition, the length of the panel portion 230 is greater than the length of the back portion 210 .

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a shift block 231 is provided at one end of the panel portion 230 away from the bent portion 220. In this way, the panel portion 230 can be shifted by the shift block 231 to separate the panel portion 230 from the second surface 120 of the female base inner frame 100.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, a guide column 130 is provided on the first surface 110 of the mother base inner frame 100, and a mounting seat 140 is provided on the second surface 120 of the mother base inner frame 100. The mother base inner frame 100 also has a through hole 150, which passes through the guide column 130 and is connected to the mounting seat 140. Part of the magnetic attraction part is passed through the through hole 150, and the back 210 is sleeved on the guide column 130.

[0039] See Figure 1 The number of guide posts 130 and mounting bases 140 are both two.

[0040] See Figure 4 A positioning hole is provided on the back 210, which is loosely fitted with the guide post 130, and the guide post 130 does not extend from the positioning hole. The end of the magnetic element away from the magnet sheet 240 extends out of the positioning hole to facilitate installation and fixation.

[0041] Continue reading Figure 4 A avoidance hole is opened on the panel part 230, and the avoidance hole is connected to the receiving cavity 232 described below. The avoidance hole is used to accommodate the mounting seat 140 when the dust cover 200 is covered on the inner frame 100 of the female seat, thereby allowing the magnetic attraction part to fit with the magnet sheet 240, which is conducive to enhancing the magnetic attraction effect.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 140 is provided with a mounting groove 141 that communicates with the through hole 150. The mounting groove 141 is bowl-shaped, and a portion of the magnetic member is shaped to match the shape of the mounting groove 141. The end of the magnetic member near the magnet sheet 240 is roughly bowl-shaped, which can increase the magnetic attraction area with the magnet sheet 240, thereby enhancing the magnetic attraction effect.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the panel portion 230 has a receiving cavity 232, and the magnet piece 240 is located in the receiving cavity 232. In this configuration, the receiving cavity 232 receives the magnet piece 240, thereby improving the connection stability between the magnet piece 240 and the dust cover 200.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Any person skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, use the methods and technical contents disclosed above to make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present application, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure and principle of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
