[0031] The charging port door 4 has an opening position away from the charging interface 21 and a closing position close to the charging interface 21, and in the closing position, the charging port door 4 is used to shield the charging interface 21, and in the opening position, the charging port door 4 can avoid the charging interface 21;

[0032] The detection assembly 5 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 3, and is used to detect the closing position and the opening position of the charging port door 4, when the charging port door 4 is in the closing position, the lighting lamp 3 is closed; when the charging port door 4 is in the opening position, the lighting lamp 3 is turned on.

[0033] By the technical scheme, the charging structure comprises the illuminating lamp 3, the illuminating lamp 3 is arranged on the charging support 2 and located at the side of the charging interface 21, so that when the electric vehicle needs to be charged at night, the illuminating lamp 3 can be used for lighting to facilitate the user to connect the charging gun to the charging interface 21 to charge the electric vehicle, and in this process, the user does not need to hold a lighting device, which facilitates the user to take and move the charging gun, thereby meeting the charging demand of the electric vehicle at night or in an environment with insufficient brightness. Specifically, when the user opens the charging port door 4 to make the charging port door 4 located at the open position, the charging port door 4 avoids the charging interface 21, and at the same time, the illuminating lamp 3 is turned on, at this time, the brightness at the charging interface 21 is sufficient, which facilitates the user to connect the charging gun to the charging interface 21. After the electric vehicle is charged, the user pulls out the charging gun from the charging interface 21, and then closes the charging port door 4 to make the charging port door 4 located at the closed position, and the illuminating lamp 3 is turned off to not affect the normal use of the electric vehicle. In addition, when the electric vehicle is charging, the illuminating lamp 3 is kept on to remind the user that the vehicle is charging at this time and the vehicle is in a non-drivable state, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the user.

[0034] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the detection assembly 5 can comprise a magnetic sensor 51 and a magnetic piece 52, one of the magnetic sensor 51 and the magnetic piece 52 is connected to the charging port door 4, and the other is connected to the vehicle body 1 or the charging support 2. The magnetic sensor 51 can be, for example, a Hall effect sensor, a magnetoresistive sensor or a fluxgate sensor, and the magnetic piece 52 can be, for example, a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0035] For example, the magnetic sensor 51 can be connected to the charging port door 4, and the magnetic piece 52 can be connected to the vehicle body 1, so that when the electric vehicle does not need to be charged or the charging is completed, the charging port door 4 is located at the closed position, at this time, the magnetic sensor 51 and the magnetic piece 52 are arranged opposite to each other, at this time, the magnetic sensor 51 can detect the magnetic field of the magnetic piece 52 and convert it into an electric signal, and the illuminating lamp 3 can receive the electric signal to be in the closed state. For example, a circuit can be arranged between the magnetic sensor 51 and the illuminating lamp 3, and a normally open contact can be arranged on the circuit, so that the circuit is in the normally open state and the illuminating lamp 3 is in the normally closed state.

[0036] When the electric vehicle needs to be charged, the charging port door 4 is opened, and the magnetic sensor 51 and the magnetic piece 52 are arranged in a staggered manner, at this time, the magnetic sensor 51 can detect the magnetic field of the magnetic piece 52 and convert it into an electric signal, the normally open contact is closed to make the circuit in the on state, and the illuminating lamp 3 is switched to the open state.

[0037] It can be understood that in some other possible alternative embodiments not shown in the drawings, the magnetic inductor 51 can be connected to the vehicle body 1, and the magnetic member 52 can be connected to the charging port door 4.
