Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In pure electric or hybrid vehicles, a charging port is usually installed on the vehicle to charge the power battery. A charging port bracket is also installed to support the charging port, thereby constraining and fixing the charging port and related wiring harnesses at the charging port, and ensuring the performance of the charging port to a certain extent.

[0003] However, existing charging port brackets are easily affected by road surface excitation during vehicle operation, which can lead to fatigue damage and reduce the performance of the charging port brackets. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a vehicle that can, to a certain extent, ensure the reliability of the charging port bracket, thereby improving the performance of the charging port bracket and facilitating the fixing of the charging port using the bracket. This solves the technical problems of charging port brackets being prone to fatigue damage and having poor performance in the prior art.

[0006] According to the vehicle embodiment of this utility model, by connecting the charging port fixing component to the fixing bracket of the fixing battery pack, the fixing point of the charging port fixing component is changed to the fixing bracket. This allows the fixing bracket to support the charging port fixing component, which to some extent avoids fatigue damage to the charging port fixing component during vehicle operation, extends the service life of the charging port fixing component, improves the positional stability of the charging port fixing component, and ensures the protective performance of the charging port fixing component to a certain extent. At the same time, changing the fixing point of the charging port fixing component to the fixing bracket can also prevent other structural components on the vehicle (such as the cargo box) from obstructing the fixing point of the charging port fixing component, which helps to reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost of the charging port fixing component.

[0007] In some embodiments, the charging port fixing component includes a charging port bracket and a charging port cover connected to each other.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first bracket is provided with at least one mounting hole, and the first bracket is detachably connected to the fixed bracket by a fastener passing through the mounting hole; wherein, the mounting hole is an elongated hole.

[0010] In some embodiments, the charging port cover includes a first protective plate and a second protective plate connected to each other. The first protective plate is connected to the charging port bracket, and the second protective plate extends toward the charging port of the battery pack.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0035] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can be a plug-in hybrid or a pure electric vehicle.

[0036] In the context of the major trend towards new energy vehicles in commercial vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are more suitable for commercial vehicle operation scenarios. Firstly, PHEVs are cheaper than pure electric vehicles, lowering the purchase threshold for users. Secondly, PHEVs eliminate "range anxiety," meeting users' all-weather usage needs. Thirdly, PHEVs offer better reliability and reduce maintenance costs, further improving operational efficiency and uptime. Fourthly, PHEVs are driven by both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine; the continuous power of the internal combustion engine and the stronger low-speed torque of the electric motor provide greater power, making them more adaptable to various complex operating conditions.

[0037] Most importantly, plug-in hybrid vehicles offer superior fuel economy. Their energy consumption is significantly lower than that of gasoline vehicles, saving users considerable expenses in daily operation. Furthermore, compared to pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids have lower purchase costs, smaller battery packs, and lower maintenance and replacement costs. Additionally, plug-in hybrids are often lighter than pure electric vehicles, giving them a greater advantage in terms of cargo capacity under compliant conditions.

[0038] Therefore, more and more users are choosing plug-in hybrid vehicles.

[0039] In a specific example, the vehicle in this application is a light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, which can achieve multiple driving modes such as pure electric, pure gasoline, and hybrid power.

[0040] Among them, since the hybrid mode of plug-in hybrid vehicles can reduce the cost of vehicle use, users use the hybrid mode more often. However, in the hybrid mode, the vehicle battery needs to be charged frequently. Therefore, a charging port needs to be installed on the vehicle, and a charging port bracket needs to be installed to constrain and fix the charging port and related wiring harness.

[0041] However, the applicant discovered that existing charging port brackets are generally installed in a position near the outside of the vehicle's driver's side. This makes the charging port bracket susceptible to road surface stress during vehicle operation. Because the charging port bracket itself has a certain weight, stress concentration occurs near the welded joints of the charging port bracket and the connection between the charging port bracket and the vehicle frame under the action of gravity, which leads to fatigue damage of the charging port bracket and affects its service life and performance.

[0042] Meanwhile, installing the charging port bracket near the driver's side of the vehicle makes disassembly and replacement inconvenient and costly due to obstruction by the cargo box during later maintenance. This results in time-consuming and labor-intensive charging port bracket installation, leading to high initial production costs and high maintenance costs for the entire vehicle, which is detrimental to controlling the overall vehicle price reduction target.

[0043] To solve the above problems, combined with Figures 1-3 As shown, this application proposes a vehicle.

[0044] The vehicle of an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a charging port, a battery pack, and a charging port fixing member 200.

[0046] The battery pack is adapted to be connected to the vehicle chassis via a mounting bracket 100 (the specific structure of the mounting bracket 100 can be found in [reference needed]). Figure 1 The battery pack is electrically connected to the charging port. This can be understood as the battery pack being connected to the vehicle's chassis and electrically connected to the charging port to replenish the battery pack's power.

[0047] In a specific example, when the vehicle needs to be charged, the plug of the charging gun (or charging cable) is inserted into the charging port to transfer electrical energy from an external power source to the battery pack.

[0048] It should be noted that by connecting the battery pack to the vehicle chassis via the fixing bracket 100, not only can the battery pack be fixedly connected to the chassis, but the connection difficulty between the battery pack and the chassis can also be reduced. This makes it easier to use the vehicle chassis to support the battery pack, improves the positional stability of the battery pack, and to a certain extent ensures the working performance of the battery pack.

[0049] The specific structure of the fixing bracket 100 can be adapted to the size and shape of the battery pack and the structure of the chassis, and this application does not impose specific restrictions. The specific connection method between the fixing bracket 100 and the battery pack and chassis is also not specifically restricted in this application, and welding, bonding, snap-fitting or bolt connection can be used.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the charging port fixing component 200 is connected to the fixing bracket 100, and the charging port fixing component 200 is used to fix the charging port. This can be understood as connecting the charging port fixing component 200 to the fixing bracket 100 and using the charging port fixing component 200 to fix the charging port, thereby improving the positional stability of the charging port and ensuring the performance of the charging port to a certain extent.

[0051] It is worth noting that this application connects the charging port fixing member 200 to the fixing bracket 100 for fixing the battery pack, so as to use the fixing bracket 100 to support the charging port fixing member 200, improve the positional stability of the charging port fixing member 200, and thus facilitate the fixing of the charging port using the charging port fixing member 200, thereby ensuring the working performance of the charging port fixing member 200 to a certain extent.

[0052] Meanwhile, by connecting the charging port fixing component 200 to the fixing bracket 100 of the fixed battery pack, the charging port fixing component 200 can be protected from road surface excitation during vehicle operation to a certain extent, thereby avoiding fatigue damage to the charging port fixing component 200. On the one hand, it extends the service life of the charging port fixing component 200 and greatly improves its durability. On the other hand, it can also improve the positional stability of the charging port fixing component 200, thereby ensuring the working performance of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent.

[0053] In addition, by connecting the charging port fixing component 200 to the fixing bracket 100 for fixing the battery pack, compared to fixing the charging port fixing component 200 to the vehicle frame, the fixing point of the entire charging port fixing component 200 can be moved outward. This avoids the cargo box from obstructing the disassembly of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent, reduces the difficulty of disassembling the charging port fixing component 200, and thus reduces the difficulty and cost of later maintenance of the charging port fixing component 200, which is conducive to controlling the price reduction target of the whole vehicle.

[0054] In summary, the charging port fixing component 200 of this application can not only stably fix the charging port, but also avoid fatigue damage to it during vehicle operation to a certain extent, while reducing its own maintenance difficulty.

[0055] As can be seen from the above structure, in the vehicle of this utility model embodiment, the charging port is fixed by setting the charging port fixing member 200 to improve the positional stability of the charging port and to a certain extent guarantee the performance of the charging port.

[0056] Meanwhile, by connecting the charging port fixing component 200 to the fixing bracket 100 for fixing the battery pack, the fixing point of the charging port fixing component 200 is changed to the fixing bracket 100. On the one hand, this avoids fatigue damage to the charging port fixing component 200 during vehicle operation to a certain extent, extends the service life of the charging port fixing component 200, and improves the positional stability of the charging port fixing component 200, thus ensuring the protective performance of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent. On the other hand, it also allows the fixing point of the entire charging port fixing component 200 to be moved outward, thereby avoiding other structural components on the vehicle (such as the cargo box) from obstructing the fixing point of the charging port fixing component 200. This helps to reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost of the charging port fixing component 200 and facilitates the control of the overall vehicle price reduction target.

[0057] Understandably, compared to the prior art which connects the fixing component of the charging port to the vehicle frame, this application sets the fixing point of the charging port fixing component 200 on the fixing bracket 100 of the battery pack, so as to ensure the reliability of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent and reduce the maintenance difficulty of the charging port fixing component 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the charging port fixing component 200 includes a charging port bracket 210 and a charging port cover 220 connected to each other. The charging port bracket 210 is connected to the fixing bracket 100, and the charging port cover 220 is fitted around the outer periphery of the charging port to fix the charging port. Specifically, by connecting the charging port bracket 210 to the fixing bracket 100, the charging port fixing component 200 is connected to the fixing bracket 100, reducing the difficulty of connecting the charging port fixing component 200 to the fixing bracket 100. By fitting the charging port cover 220 around the outer periphery of the charging port and fixing the charging port, the charging port is fixed using the charging port fixing component 200, reducing the difficulty of fixing the charging port with the charging port fixing component 200, thereby improving the positional stability of the charging port and ensuring the performance of the charging port to a certain extent.

[0059] It should be noted that by configuring the charging port fixing component 200 to include the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220 that are connected to each other, the molding difficulty of the charging port fixing component 200 can be reduced, and a part of the charging port fixing component 200 can be connected to the fixing bracket 100 and another part of the charging port fixing component 200 can fix the charging port, thereby ensuring the performance of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent.

[0060] In some embodiments, the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220 are connected by welding or bonding. This not only achieves a fixed connection between the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220, but also ensures the connection strength of the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220 to a certain extent, making the relative position of the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220 stable. As a result, when the charging port bracket 210 is connected to the fixed bracket 100, the charging port cover 220 can be stably fitted onto the outer periphery of the charging port to fix the charging port, thus ensuring the fixing effect of the charging port fixing member 200 to a certain extent.

[0061] In a specific example, the charging port bracket 210 is welded to the charging port cover 220. This ensures the connection strength between the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220 while also reducing the connection cost between them.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the charging port bracket 210 is formed as a hollow connecting tube. That is, the charging port bracket 210 is formed as a connecting tube with a hollow interior. This simplifies the structure of the charging port bracket 210, and the connecting tube can be directly manufactured using a one-piece molding process. While improving the structural strength of the charging port bracket 210, it also eliminates the need for welding between multiple side plates of the connecting tube, reducing the molding difficulty of the charging port bracket 210. The hollow interior also reduces the weight of the charging port bracket 210, achieving a lightweight design while maintaining its structural strength.

[0063] Therefore, it can be understood that, compared with the complex bracket structure and multiple right-angle transitions in the prior art, this application sets the charging port bracket 210 as a connecting pipe, which solves the problems of the bracket being heavy, having many sub-components, and requiring a large amount of manufacturing costs in production, and is conducive to controlling indicators such as weight reduction and price reduction in vehicle development.

[0064] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the charging port bracket 210 includes a first bracket 211 and a second bracket 212 connected to each other. The first bracket 211 is connected to the fixed bracket 100, and the second bracket 212 extends toward the charging port. The charging port cover 220 is connected to the second bracket 212. By connecting the first bracket 211 to the fixed bracket 100, the charging port bracket 210 is connected to the fixed bracket 100, thereby connecting the charging port fixing member 200 to the fixed bracket 100 and reducing the difficulty of connecting the charging port fixing member 200 to the fixed bracket 100. By setting the second bracket 212 to extend toward the charging port, when the charging port cover 220 is connected to the second bracket 212, the charging port cover 220 can be positioned close to the charging port, allowing the charging port cover 220 to fit around the outer periphery of the charging port and fix it. This improves the positional stability of the charging port and reduces the difficulty of fixing the charging port to the charging port using the charging port fixing member 200.

[0065] In addition, by connecting the charging port cover 220 to the second bracket 212, the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210 can be connected, and the difficulty of connecting the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210 can be reduced, thereby reducing the molding difficulty of the charging port fixing part 200.

[0066] It should be noted that by setting the charging port bracket 210 to include a first bracket 211 and a second bracket 212 that are connected to each other, the molding difficulty of the charging port bracket 210 is reduced, and the charging port cover 220 connected to the charging port bracket 210 can be set close to the charging port so as to fix the charging port using the charging port cover 220.

[0067] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 extend in different directions. This allows the second bracket 212 to extend toward the charging port when it is connected to the first bracket 211, thereby allowing the charging port cover 220 connected to the second bracket 212 to be positioned close to the charging port for easy fixing of the charging port.

[0068] In specific examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the charging port bracket 210 is formed in an "L" shape so that the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 extend in different directions.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 are connected to each other by welding or bonding. This not only achieves a fixed connection between the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212, but also ensures the connection strength of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 to a certain extent, making the relative position of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 stable. This improves the structural stability of the charging port bracket 210, making it easier to use the charging port bracket 210 to support the charging port cover 220. This allows the charging port cover 220 to be stably fitted onto the outer periphery of the charging port to fix the charging port, thus ensuring the fixing effect of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent.

[0070] In a specific example, the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 are welded together. While ensuring the connection strength of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212, the connection cost of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 can also be reduced.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 211 has at least one mounting hole 2111, and the first bracket 211 is detachably connected to the fixed bracket 100 by fasteners passing through the mounting holes 2111. In other words, the first bracket 211 and the fixed bracket 100 are detachably connected through at least one mounting hole 2111 and the fasteners, thus enabling the charging port fixing component 200 and the fixed bracket 100 to be detachably connected. This not only achieves a fixed connection between the charging port fixing component 200 and the fixed bracket 100, but also reduces the difficulty of connecting the charging port fixing component 200 and the fixed bracket 100, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the charging port fixing component 200, facilitating subsequent maintenance or replacement of the charging port fixing component 200, and further reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost of the charging port fixing component 200.

[0072] In some embodiments, the fastener is a fastening bolt or fastening screw, which passes through the mounting hole 2111 and is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 100, so as to realize the detachable connection between the first bracket 211 and the fixed bracket 100 by using the mounting hole 2111 and the fastener.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 211 is provided with multiple mounting holes 2111. The multiple mounting holes 2111 cooperate to increase the connection strength between the first bracket 211 and the fixed bracket 100, so that the first bracket 211 can be stably connected to the fixed bracket 100. This makes it easier to use the fixed bracket 100 to support the first bracket 211, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting the charging port fixing component 200, improving the positional stability of the charging port fixing component 200, and ensuring the performance of the charging port fixing component 200 to a certain extent.

[0074] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the assembly hole 2111 is an elongated hole. Due to differences in equipment, processes, and other factors, the assembly hole 2111 may encounter deviations in position and size during actual processing. By setting the assembly hole 2111 as an elongated hole, the elongated hole can accommodate such deviations, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connection between the first bracket 211 and the fixed bracket 100, and reducing the difficulty of connection.

[0076] Of course, in some other embodiments, the assembly hole 2111 can be a circular hole or a square hole, etc.

[0077] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the charging port cover 220 includes a first protective plate 221 and a second protective plate 222 connected to each other. The first protective plate 221 is connected to the charging port bracket 210, and the second protective plate 222 extends toward the charging port of the battery pack. The second protective plate 222 is provided with a clearance opening 2221 to avoid the charging port. Specifically, by connecting the first protective plate 221 to the charging port bracket 210, the charging port cover 220 is connected to the charging port bracket 210, reducing the difficulty of connecting the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210. By setting the second protective plate 222 to extend toward the charging port of the battery pack, the second protective plate 222 can be positioned close to the charging port, so that the charging port can be located at the clearance opening 2221 on the second protective plate 222, thereby securing the charging port using the second protective plate 222.

[0078] In other words, in the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, the first protective plate 221 is used to connect the charging port bracket 210 to achieve a fixed connection between the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210, and the second protective plate 222 is used to fix the charging port to achieve the charging port using the charging port cover 220 and reduce the difficulty of fixing the charging port.

[0079] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first protective plate 221 is connected to the second bracket 212 to realize the connection between the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210. This reduces the difficulty of connecting the charging port cover 220 and the charging port bracket 210, and also allows the charging port cover 220 to be set close to the charging port, making it easier to fix the charging port using the charging port cover 220.

[0080] In some embodiments, the charging port cover 220 is formed using a bending process. While achieving the connection between the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, it also allows the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 to be formed as a single piece. This reduces the molding difficulty of the charging port cover 220 and improves the structural stability of the charging port cover 220, thereby ensuring the performance of the charging port cover 220 to a certain extent.

[0081] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 can also be formed as separate parts. The first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 are processed and formed separately, and then welded or bonded, etc., so as to form a stable charging port cover 220.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 extend in different directions. This is so that when the first protective plate 221 is connected to the second bracket 212, the second protective plate 222 can extend toward the charging port, thereby allowing the charging port to be located at the clearance 2221 on the second protective plate 222, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the charging port using the second protective plate 222.

[0083] In specific examples, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 are fitted together to form an "L" shape, so that the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 extend in different directions.

[0084] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second protective plate 222 is provided with a fixing hole 2222. The charging port passes through the clearance opening 2221 and is fixedly connected to the second protective plate 222 through the fixing hole 2222. This achieves a fixed fit between the charging port and the second protective plate 222, making it easier to fix the charging port using the second protective plate 222 and improving the fixing effect, thereby improving the positional stability of the charging port.

[0085] Meanwhile, by using the fixing hole 2222 to achieve a fixed fit between the charging port and the second protective plate 222, the difficulty of connecting the charging port and the second protective plate 222 can also be reduced.

[0086] In some embodiments, a connector is adapted to be assembled in the fixing hole 2222. The connector passes through the fixing hole 2222 and is fixedly connected to the charging port to achieve a fixed connection between the charging port and the second protective plate 222.

[0087] The connecting parts mentioned here are fastening bolts or fastening screws, which are inserted through the fixing hole 2222 and fixedly connected to the charging port.

[0088] It should be noted that by using fastening bolts or screws to fix the charging port to the second protective plate 222, a detachable connection can also be formed between the charging port and the second protective plate 222, reducing the difficulty of connecting the charging port and the second protective plate 222. This reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the charging port fixing component 200, making it easier to maintain or replace the charging port fixing component 200 in the future, and further reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost of the charging port fixing component 200.

[0089] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second protective plate 222 is provided with multiple fixing holes 2222. The multiple fixing holes 2222 work together to increase the connection strength between the charging port and the second protective plate 222, so that the charging port can be stably connected to the second protective plate 222. This makes it easier to use the second protective plate 222 to fix and support the charging port, improve the positional stability of the charging port, and ensure the performance of the charging port to a certain extent.

[0090] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the charging port cover 220 also includes a reinforcing plate 223, which connects the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222. This ensures the relative position of the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 is stable, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the charging port cover 220 and guaranteeing its performance to a certain extent.

[0091] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 223 is connected to the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 by welding, bonding or other connection methods to increase the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, thereby enabling the reinforcing plate 223 to effectively increase the structural strength and structural stability of the charging port cover 220 and improve the working performance of the charging port cover 220.

[0092] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the charging port cover 220 includes two reinforcing plates 223. The first protective plate 221 has a first side connected to the second protective plate 222 and two second sides adjacent to the first side. The two reinforcing plates 223 are respectively connected to the two second sides and connected between the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 to realize the cooperative connection between the two reinforcing plates 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, thereby facilitating the use of the reinforcing plates 223 to increase the connection strength between the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222.

[0093] In a specific example, the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 are made by a stretch bending forming process. After the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 are formed, a reinforcing plate 223 is then set to form a structurally stable charging port cover 220.

[0094] In some embodiments, an opening is formed between the first protective plate 221, the second protective plate 222 and the two reinforcing plates 223 to form an accommodating space, in which at least part of the charging port is located. The charging port can also be protected by the charging port cover 220, which can extend the service life of the charging port to a certain extent.

[0095] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 223 is provided with weight reduction holes 224 (not shown in the example figure). The weight reduction holes 224 can not only reduce the weight of the reinforcing plate 223, but also reduce the manufacturing cost of the reinforcing plate 223, thereby achieving a lightweight design of the charging port cover 220, which is beneficial to the control of indicators such as weight reduction and price reduction in vehicle development.

[0096] The weight reduction hole 224 on the reinforcing plate 223 can be one or more, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0097] In other embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a weight-reduction hole 224 is provided between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222. This also enables the charging port cover 220 to be lightweight, which is beneficial for controlling indicators such as weight reduction and price reduction in vehicle development.

[0098] The weight reduction hole 224 between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222 can be one or more, and this application does not impose specific restrictions.

[0099] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the reinforcing plate 223 is spaced apart from the first protective plate 221 and / or the second protective plate 222, so as to form a weight-reducing hole 224 between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, and reduce the forming difficulty of the weight-reducing hole 224.

[0100] In some other embodiments, weight-reducing holes 224 (not shown in this example figure) are provided on the reinforcing plate 223 and between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222. This increases the number of weight-reducing holes 224 and improves the weight-reduction effect.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the charging port fixing component 200 includes an adapter plate 230, through which the first protective plate 221 is connected to the charging port bracket 210. This reduces the difficulty of connecting the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210 and helps to improve the connection strength. At the same time, the adapter plate 230 can also be used to disperse the relative vibration between the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210, so that the relative position of the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210 is stable, thus ensuring the fixing performance of the first protective plate 221 to the charging port to a certain extent.

[0102] In a specific example, the first protective plate 221 is connected to the second bracket 212 via an adapter plate 230.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first protective plate 221 is provided with a first mounting hole 2211, and the adapter plate 230 is provided with a second mounting hole 231 facing the first mounting hole 2211. The first protective plate 221 and the adapter plate 230 are fixedly connected by bolts or screws passing through the first mounting hole 2211 and the second mounting hole 231.

[0104] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second bracket 212 is provided with a third mounting hole 2121 that is directly opposite the second mounting hole 231. The second bracket 212 and the adapter plate 230 are fixedly connected by bolts or screws passing through the third mounting hole 2121 and the second mounting hole 231, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210 and reducing the connection difficulty.

[0105] In the description of this utility model, features defined as "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, used to distinguish the descriptive features, without any order or emphasis.

[0106] Of course, in some other embodiments, the adapter plate 230 can also be welded to the first protective plate 221 and the second bracket 212 respectively to achieve the welding fit between the charging port bracket 210 and the charging port cover 220.

[0107] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 230 is formed of at least one of steel plate, copper plate or aluminum plate, so that the adapter plate 230 itself has a certain structural strength, thereby facilitating the connection between the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210 through the adapter plate 230.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adapter plate 230 extends along the length and width directions of the first protective plate 221, respectively. This increases the area of ​​the adapter plate 230, thereby increasing the contact area between the adapter plate 230 and the first protective plate 221, so that the first protective plate 221 can be stably connected to the charging port bracket 210 using the adapter plate 230.

[0109] Optionally, the thickness of the adapter plate 230 can range from 2.5mm to 3.5mm. When the thickness of the adapter plate 230 is too thin, the structural strength of the adapter plate 230 will be reduced, affecting the connection strength between the first protective plate 221 and the charging port bracket 210; when the thickness of the adapter plate 230 is too thick, the cost and weight of the adapter plate 230 will be increased.

[0110] Based on this, the thickness of the adapter plate 230 is set to a range of 2.5mm-3.5mm. This not only improves the structural strength of the adapter plate 230, but also helps to reduce the weight of the adapter plate 230 and lower its manufacturing cost, which is beneficial for controlling indicators such as weight reduction and price reduction in vehicle development.

[0111] In some embodiments, the thickness of the adapter plate 230 is 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.7mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, 3.0mm, 3.1mm, 3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, or 3.5mm, etc.

[0112] In a specific example, the adapter plate 230 is formed as a square plate with a length of 100mm, a width of 100mm, and a thickness of 3mm.

[0113] In some embodiments, the thickness of the charging port bracket 210 ranges from 2.5mm to 3.5mm. This can be understood as the thickness of both the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212 being between 2.5mm and 3.5mm. This not only improves the structural strength of the charging port bracket 210 but also helps to reduce its weight and manufacturing cost, thus facilitating weight reduction and price control in vehicle development.

[0114] In some embodiments, the thickness of the charging port bracket 210 is 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.7mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, 3.0mm, 3.1mm, 3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, or 3.5mm, etc.

[0115] In a specific example, the charging port bracket 210 is welded together from two square tubes with a thickness of 3mm. The two square tubes are the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212, respectively.

[0116] In summary, the present application changes the fixing point of the charging port fixing component 200 from the vehicle frame to the fixing bracket 100 for fixing the battery pack, and sets the charging port bracket 210 as a square tube. While ensuring the reliability of the charging port fixing component 200, it also simplifies the design structure of the charging port fixing component 200, reduces weight and cost, and makes installation and disassembly easy, fully meeting the needs of vehicle development.

[0117] The vehicle described in this application is explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The vehicle may be a light truck hybrid vehicle. The vehicle includes a charging port, a battery pack, and a charging port fixing component 200.

[0118] The battery pack is adapted to be connected to the vehicle chassis via a mounting bracket 100 (the specific structure of the mounting bracket 100 can be found in [reference needed]). Figure 1 The battery pack is electrically connected to the charging port.

[0119] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the charging port fixing component 200 includes a charging port bracket 210, a charging port cover 220, and an adapter plate 230. The charging port bracket 210 is formed as a hollow connecting tube with a thickness of 3mm. The charging port bracket 210 includes a first bracket 211 and a second bracket 212. The first bracket 211 has two mounting holes 2111 formed as elongated holes. The first bracket 211 is detachably connected to the fixing bracket 100 by fasteners passing through the mounting holes 2111. The second bracket 212 is connected to the end of the first bracket 211 away from the fixing bracket 100 and extends toward the charging port.

[0120] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the charging port cover 220 includes a first protective plate 221, a second protective plate 222, and a reinforcing plate 223. The first protective plate 221 is connected to the second bracket 212 via an adapter plate 230. The adapter plate 230 extends along the length and width directions of the first protective plate 221, and the thickness of the adapter plate 230 is 3mm. The second protective plate 222 is connected to the first protective plate 221 and extends toward the charging port of the battery pack. The second protective plate 222 is provided with a fixing hole 2222 and a clearance opening 2221 to avoid the charging port. The charging port passes through the clearance opening 2221 and is fixedly connected to the second protective plate 222 via the fixing hole 2222, so as to realize that the charging port cover 220 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the charging port for fixing the charging port.

[0121] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing plate 223 connects the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222, and a weight reduction hole 224 is provided between the reinforcing plate 223 and the first protective plate 221 and the second protective plate 222.
