[0032] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front", "rear", "head", "tail", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model depending on the specific circumstances.

[0035] The utility model provides a flip cover device for a scooter charging port, comprising a flip cover assembly 1, a base assembly 2, and a spring assembly 3, wherein the flip cover assembly 1 is rotatably connected to the base assembly 2, the spring assembly 3 is located in the base assembly 2, and the end of the flip cover assembly 1 contacts the end of the spring assembly 3;

[0036] A positioning strip 11 is provided on the end of the flip cover assembly 1, and an arc-shaped groove 321 is provided on the end of the spring assembly 3. The positioning strip 11 contacts the arc-shaped groove 321.

[0037] The rotation of the flip cover assembly 1 can change the contact position between the arc groove 321 and the positioning bar 11 and can change the position of the force applied by the spring assembly 3 to the positioning bar 11. The utility model provides a scooter charging port flip cover device. When performing a charging operation, the user first opens the flip cover assembly 1, that is, rotates the flip cover assembly 1, which will cause the positioning bar 11 to swing, thereby changing the contact position between the positioning bar 11 and the arc groove 321, from the lower end face of the positioning bar 11 in contact with the arc groove 321 to the upper end face of the positioning bar 11 in contact with the arc groove 321. At the same time, the force applied by the spring assembly 3 to the positioning bar 11 will also be changed, from applying force to the lower end face of the positioning bar 11 to applying force to the upper end face of the positioning bar 11. Therefore, when the flip cover assembly 1 is rotated to a certain position, the spring assembly 3 applies force to the upper end face of the positioning bar 11, This will limit the flip cover assembly 1 from rotating in the opposite direction. At this time, the external force for rotating the flip cover assembly 1 can be removed, and the flip cover assembly 1 can also be kept in an open state, so that both hands are freed and the charging plug can be inserted into the charging port; when charging is completed, the charging plug is first unplugged, and then an external force in the opposite direction is applied to the flip cover assembly 1. The lower end surface of the positioning bar 11 will contact the arc groove 321, and the spring assembly 3 will apply force to the lower end surface of the positioning bar 11. Therefore, when the flip cover assembly 1 is closed, the flip cover assembly 1 will be tightly covered on the base assembly 2, solving the technical problem in the prior art that the hard cover needs to be kept in an open state with the help of external force after being opened.
