DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] EMBODIMENT

[0025] Combined with the drawings, Figs. 1-3 As shown in the drawings, an electric automobile single-gun charging port closing box comprises a closing box body 3 and a closing box cover 1 connected with the closing box body 3 through a hinge 4 and used for covering the front side of the closing box body 3; the rear side of the closing box body 3 is formed with a socket mounting hole 33 for accommodating a charging socket and a socket fixing hole 35 matched with the mounting hole of the charging socket, so that the charging port of the charging socket is arranged in the charging port closing box and connected with a charging plug transversely during charging; the lower side of the closing box body 3 is formed with a plurality of first through holes 34, part of the first through holes 34 are matched with fixing bolts to install the closing box body 3 on a vehicle frame, and the other part of the first through holes 34 are used as water leakage holes to drain liquid into the closing box body 3.

[0026] Preferably, the first through hole between the two first through holes 34 matched with the fixing bolt is selected as the water leakage hole. Of course, this is only a preferred embodiment, and other modes can also achieve the purpose of the utility model. Since the charging port closure box is very high from the ground, and there are other structures below it, the splashed mud is blocked by the structure below the charging port closure box; in addition, since the water leakage hole is small, almost no water can enter the charging port closure box, and due to the precision problem of the fitting surface, the water entering the charging port closure box can also be discharged through the water leakage hole, eliminating the problem of water accumulation.

[0027] Further technical solutions, the charging port closure box is a cubic structure, the socket mounting hole 33 is circular, and the plurality of socket fixing holes 35 are arranged outside the socket mounting hole 33, and the socket mounting hole 33 is arranged close to one side of the hinge.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, an electric vehicle single-gun charging port closure box comprises a closure box body 3 and a closure box cover 1 connected to one side of the opening of the front side of the closure box body 3 through a hinge 4. The rear side of the closure box body 3, i.e. the side away from the closure box cover 1, is formed with a socket mounting hole 33 for accommodating a charging socket. The shape and size of the socket mounting hole 33 are adapted to the charging socket matched therewith, and the socket mounting hole 33 is in interference fit with the charging port of the charging socket to ensure the sealing when the charging socket is inserted into the socket mounting hole 33. In this embodiment, the socket mounting hole 33 is circular. Further, a plurality of socket fixing holes 35 are formed outside the socket mounting hole 33 to cooperate with the mounting holes of the charging socket to install and fix the charging socket. The opening of the front side of the closure box body 3 is formed with an inward first lip structure 31, and the first lip structure 31 is formed with a locking piece 32 matched with a lock catch structure 5. The lock catch structure 5 is arranged on the closure box cover 1 to open and close the closure box cover 1 covering the front side of the closure box body 3.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of first through holes 34 arranged in a straight line are arranged on the front and rear sides of the lower side of the closure box body 3. In this embodiment, the first through holes 34 are arranged in three rows, and of course, other numbers of first through holes 34 can also be arranged. The interval distance between the first through holes 34 in each row is smaller than the width of the fixing bolt, so that the first through holes 34 in each row must be arranged at intervals when the fixing bolt is connected, i.e. the remaining first through holes 34 without the fixing bolt are used as water leakage holes to discharge the liquid accidentally entering the closure box body 3.

[0030] The lower side of the closure box cover 1 is also provided with two drainage ports 11 to drain the liquid inadvertently entering the closure box cover 1 through the drainage ports 11. Preferably, the rear side of the closure box cover 1, i.e. the side facing the closure box body 3, is formed with a second lip structure 12 inwardly at the opening, and the sponge strip 2 is attached to the second lip structure 12 to seal the closure box body 3 and the closure box cover 1 when they are closed, and prevent damage during the closing process.

[0031] The lock catch structure 5 includes a locking block 51 and a pull ring 52 outside the front side of the closure box cover 1, and a locking head 53 inside the front side of the closure box cover 1. During operation, the locking block 51 inside the pull ring 52 is pressed down to pop up the locking block 51 and the pull ring 52, and the pull ring 52 is pulled to open the closure box cover 1. The locking head 53 is pressed down to rotate to the rear side of the closure box body 3 to disengage the locking piece 32 and achieve unlocking. Conversely, the locking piece 32 and the locking head 53 are engaged to achieve locking. Of course, other structures that can achieve the function of the lock catch structure 5 can also achieve the function of the charging port closure box, and the utility model is not limited to this.

[0032] The charging port closure box of the utility model is a closed cuboid box shape, which can isolate foreign matter during driving. The socket mounting hole 33 is eccentrically designed near the hinge side to reduce the size of the charging port closure box, avoid interference with the lock catch structure, and improve space utilization.

[0033] Although the utility model has been described with reference to the explanatory embodiments of the utility model, the above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and the embodiments of the utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design many other modifications and embodiments, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
