[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A connection diagram of an induction sensor and a control unit provided in the embodiment of the application.
[0040] In an embodiment, the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile further comprises a control unit, the control unit is connected with the driving motor 120 and the induction sensor, and the control unit is used for driving the cover plate 110 to open or close through the driving motor 120 according to the charging state of the charging gun. The control unit receives signals from the induction sensor, and according to these signals and a preset program logic, the opening and closing of the cover plate are controlled through the driving motor, and the intelligent management improves the use convenience and reliability of the charging port cover. Through the intelligent control of the opening and closing of the cover plate by the control unit, the damage or failure of the charging cover plate caused by bad operation habits and insufficient operation force control can be effectively avoided, and the use period of the opening and closing control system of the charging cover plate is improved.
[0041] In an embodiment, the control unit can judge the charging state of the charging gun according to the diagnosis unit of the system, so as to drive the cover plate 110 to open or close through the driving motor 120, so that the user does not need to manually operate the cover plate 110 during the charging process, thereby improving the use convenience, and the automatic opening and closing function also reduces the damage risk that may be caused by forgetting to close the cover plate 110.
[0042] In an embodiment, the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile further comprises a protective sealing ring 130 arranged at the contact edge of the cover plate 110 and the base, which is used to isolate water and oxygen when the cover plate 110 is closed.
[0043] It should be noted that the protective sealing ring 130 is located at the contact edge of the cover plate 110 and the base, and its main function is to form a seal when the cover plate 110 is closed, preventing moisture and oxygen from entering the charging interface area, as moisture and oxygen can cause electrical components to corrode or short circuit, affecting battery performance and service life. The design of the protective sealing ring 130 needs to meet the electrical protection level system to ensure good sealing effect under various environmental conditions. The sealing ring produces a sealing effect through interference fit between the cover plate 110 and the base, preventing the intrusion of external moisture and oxygen, thereby improving the ability to resist failure and performance degradation over time.
[0044] In an embodiment, the protective sealing ring 130 of the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile is made of weather-resistant material, which can be fluorine rubber or thermoplastic vulcanized rubber. The weather-resistant material of the protective sealing ring is not limited in the present application.
[0045] It should be noted that fluorine rubber is a synthetic rubber containing fluorine atoms, which is known for its excellent heat resistance, oxidation resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. It has excellent stability to a variety of chemicals, including acids, bases, organic liquids (fuel, solvents, hydraulic media, etc.), and concentrated acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), etc. In addition, fluorine rubber also has good weather resistance, and can resist harmful factors such as ultraviolet light, oxygen, and ozone; thermoplastic vulcanized rubber is a material that combines the physical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastic plastics. It is usually composed of rubber particles dispersed in a thermoplastic plastic matrix, which gives thermoplastic vulcanized rubber good solvent and oil resistance. Thermoplastic vulcanized rubber can maintain the elasticity of rubber at room temperature.
[0046] In an embodiment, the cover plate 110 of the electric charging cover plate system of the automobile is made of pressure-resistant and waterproof material, and the cover plate 110 can be mainly made of aluminum alloy, with rubber sealing at the edges to isolate electronic devices from the external environment, preventing moisture, dust, and chemicals from entering the device. Since the charging cover plate 110 is exposed to the outside, using high-strength materials can protect the charging interface from being exposed to the outside. High-strength materials not only provide pressure resistance, but also adapt to various environments, greatly ensuring the normal use and extending the service life of the charging device.
[0047] In an embodiment, the charging state of the charging gun of the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile includes at least one of the following: a proximity state, a touch state and a connection state. In an embodiment, an induction sensor is installed around the charging interface. When the charging gun is close, the induction sensor sends a signal to the control unit, and after the control unit receives the signal, the control unit drives the motor 120 to automatically open the cover plate 110. Similarly, when the induction sensor detects that the charging is complete or the charging gun is pulled out, the control unit automatically closes the cover plate 110.
[0048] In an embodiment, the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile further includes a manual control button for manually controlling the opening and closing of the cover plate 110.
[0049] In an embodiment, when the system fails, the user can manually open or close the cover plate 110 through the manual control button.

The manual control button provides an intuitive operation interface for the user, even for users who are not familiar with high-tech systems, they can easily open or close the cover plate 110. The manual control button increases the reliability of the system. In the event of a problem with the automatic control system, the user can manually operate without relying on the electronic system, which reduces the inconvenience caused by system failure. When maintaining and repairing, the manual control button allows technicians to open the cover plate 110 without relying on the electric system, which is convenient for checking and repairing the charging interface and related components. Even in the case of electronic system failure, the user can still access the charging interface.
[0050] In an embodiment, the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile further includes a collection unit for collecting the presence state of obstacles in the cover plate 110 area.
[0051] In an embodiment, the acquisition unit can monitor the area of the cover plate 110 in real time to determine whether there is an obstacle, which is crucial to prevent damage to the obstacle (such as a charging gun, foreign matter, etc.) when the cover plate 110 is closed. Through this monitoring method, the system can avoid damage to the vehicle charging interface. When the acquisition unit detects an obstacle, the control unit will intelligently adjust the action of the cover plate 110 based on this information to ensure that no pressure is applied to the obstacle. When an obstacle is detected, the system can take measures to prevent accidental injury or damage. Through real-time monitoring by the acquisition unit, the system can provide a better user experience. The acquisition unit integrates various sensor technologies, such as infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, or optical sensors, to achieve accurate detection of obstacles, enabling the system to accurately identify and respond to the presence of obstacles. The acquisition unit also helps prevent system failures. By monitoring the state of the cover plate 110 area, the system can avoid mechanical failure or damage caused by foreign matter, thereby reducing maintenance needs and extending the life of the equipment.
[0052] In an embodiment, the control unit of the electric charging cover plate system 100 of the automobile further includes an anti-pinch module for controlling the cover plate 110 to stop closing or reverse movement based on the presence state.
[0053] In an embodiment, the anti-pinch module can detect an external obstruction during the operation of the electric charging port cover and control the electric charging port cover to move in the opposite direction based on a reverse drive command. Real-time external obstruction detection is performed during the reverse movement, and the electric charging port cover is controlled to move in the opposite direction again each time an external obstruction is detected. When the number of times of reverse movement again exceeds a preset number, the electric charging port cover is controlled to stop moving to avoid being pinched and causing personal injury. The anti-pinch electric charging port cover for vehicles includes a charging port cover shell and a charging port outer cover pivotally arranged on the charging port cover shell. An inductive element is arranged on the charging port outer cover, and a detection element is arranged on the charging port shell. The inductive element and the detection element cooperate to form an angle detection unit to detect the angle of the charging port cover. This design can effectively detect the small angle between the charging port outer cover and the charging port cover shell when the charging port outer cover is closed, thereby avoiding pinching small objects or fingers, and has strong practicality. The inductive element can be a magnetic induction block, and the detection element can include a microswitch, a proximity switch, an electromagnetic induction switch, a Hall sensor, etc. The cooperation of these elements can improve the detection accuracy and response speed of the anti-pinch module.
