[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0026] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 This invention describes the structure of an electric vehicle charging port.
[0027] The existing charging port structure is excellent in terms of dust and sand protection, but its waterproof performance is poor. When it rains or snows, rainwater can easily get stuck in the gaps of the charging port structure and flow into the charging port, causing a short circuit.
[0028] Therefore, this utility model provides a charging port structure for electric vehicles, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a charging port mounting plate 1 connected to the outer shell of the electric vehicle. A charging port flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the charging port mounting plate 1. The top of the charging port flip cover 2 has an arc-shaped opening and an operating handle 2013. The edge of the charging port flip cover 2 has an arc-shaped groove 2012, which communicates with the arc-shaped opening of the operating handle 2013 to guide rainwater, allowing the rainwater to flow along the arc-shaped groove 2012 and be discharged. Specifically, when rainwater seeps in from the gap between the charging port mounting plate 1 and the charging port flip cover 2, the arc-shaped groove 2012 on the edge of the charging port flip cover 2 guides the rainwater to flow along the arc-shaped groove 2012 and discharges the rainwater, thereby preventing rainwater from accumulating and flowing into the charging port.
[0029] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, the charging port flip cover 2 includes a flip cover housing 201 and a connecting frame 202. The flip cover housing 201 and the connecting frame 202 are detachably connected to facilitate the installation and removal of the flip cover housing 201 and the connecting frame 202. An operating handle 2013 is provided on the top of the flip cover housing 201, and an arc-shaped groove 2012 is provided on the edge of the flip cover housing 201 to allow rainwater to flow along the arc-shaped groove 2012 and be discharged under the action of gravity. A rotating shaft 2021 is provided on the connecting frame 202, and the charging port flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the charging port mounting plate 1 through the rotating shaft 2021.
[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, a straight-arm buckle protrusion 2011 is fixedly connected to the flip cover 201, and a straight-arm buckle groove 2022 is provided on the connecting frame 202. The straight-arm buckle protrusion 2011 and the straight-arm buckle groove 2022 are fastened together, so that the connecting frame 202 and the flip cover 201 can be detachably connected, which facilitates the installation and removal of the flip cover 201 and the connecting frame 202. Furthermore, the use of the straight-arm buckle protrusion 2011 and the straight-arm buckle groove 2022 allows the connecting frame 202 of the same specification to connect flip covers 201 of different specifications, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
[0031] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the charging port mounting plate 1 is provided with a magnetic platform 1023, and the connecting bracket 202 is provided with a magnetic groove 2024. A magnet 2023 is provided in the magnetic groove 2024. The magnet 2023 cooperates with the magnetic platform 1023 to magnetically fix the charging port flip cover 2 to the charging port mounting plate 1. Specifically, the operator does not need to use physical force to insert or fix the charging port flip cover 2. He / she can simply bring the charging port flip cover 2 close to the magnetic platform 1023, and the magnetic force will counteract the gravity and thus attract and fix it. The reverse is also true, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.
[0032] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4As shown, the magnet groove 2024 includes a groove opening 300. L-shaped fixing protrusions 100 and straight arm engaging protrusions 200 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the groove opening 300. One side of the magnet 2023 abuts against the groove opening 300, and the side of the magnet 2023 away from the groove opening 300 abuts against the L-shaped fixing protrusions 100 and the straight arm engaging protrusions 200, so that the magnet 2023 is fixed in the magnet groove 2024.
[0033] Preferably, the straight arm engaging protrusion 200 is provided with an installation slope 2001 to facilitate the installation of the magnet 2023. Specifically, one end of the magnet 2023 is first engaged between the L-shaped fixing protrusion 100 and the groove 300. The installer controls the end of the magnet 2023 away from the L-shaped fixing protrusion 100 to slide along the installation slope 2001 of the straight arm engaging protrusion 200 into the groove 300. At this time, the straight arm engaging protrusion 200 deforms. When the magnet 2023 is embedded in the groove 300, the deformation of the straight arm engaging protrusion 200 rebounds, and the straight arm engaging protrusion 200 returns to its normal position and abuts against the magnet 2023, thereby cooperating with the L-shaped fixing protrusion 100 and the groove 300 to fix the magnet 2023, so as to facilitate the operator to install and remove the magnet 2023.
[0034] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, an abutment post 2014 is fixedly connected to the flip cover 201. The end of the abutment post 2014 away from the flip cover 201 abuts against the magnet 2023. Specifically, the flip cover 201 abuts against the magnet 2023, thereby further fixing the magnet 2023 and preventing it from detaching. At the same time, the abutment post 2014 also cooperates with the straight arm buckle protrusion 2011 and the straight arm buckle groove 2022 to prevent relative displacement in the buckling direction and ensure a stable connection between the flip cover 201 and the connecting frame 202.
[0035] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, the charging port mounting plate 1 includes a structural plate 102 for fixing the charging port. A decorative plate 101 flush with the outer shell of the electric vehicle is fixedly connected to the structural plate 102. The decorative plate 101 has a charging cover recess 1011 that matches the arc groove 2012.
[0036] Preferably, the decorative panel 101 is provided with a guide post 1012, and the structural panel 102 is provided with a guide groove 1021. The guide post 1012 is inserted into the guide groove 1021 to position the decorative panel 101 and the structural panel 102 during installation. The structural panel 102 is provided with a cable routing leg 1022 for the internal cables of the electric vehicle to be routed, thereby facilitating the installation and routing by the operator.
[0037] This invention solves the problem of rainwater accumulation and inflow into the charging port by setting an arc-shaped groove 2012 on the edge of the charging port flip cover 2 to guide rainwater.
[0038] This utility model provides a magnetic suction platform 1023 on the charging port mounting plate 1 and a magnet 2023 on the charging port flip cover 2. Simply bring the charging port flip cover 2 close to the magnetic suction platform 1023, and it will be automatically attracted and fixed by magnetic force, improving the convenience of operation. In addition, the magnet 2023 cooperates with the magnet groove 2024, which facilitates the installation and removal by personnel.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
