Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a flip-top structure for a protective cover of the charging port of an electric vehicle grille. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicle charging ports are typically located in the center of the grille and require protection. This is usually achieved through a hinged flip-top design. However, current grille charging port protective covers are generally larger and heavier, and their flipping and repositioning mechanisms are not smooth, affecting practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem of the aforementioned structure's inconvenient use, this utility model provides a flip-top structure for the charging port protective cover of an electric vehicle grille.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A flip-top structure for a protective cover for an electric vehicle grille charging port includes a protective cover and a fixing base. The protective cover is located in the middle of the fixing base. The protective cover is rotatably connected to the mounting base of the fixing base via a shaft. The mounting base includes a tension spring holder and a rotating shaft. The rod of the rotating shaft passes through the shaft hole a and the shaft hole b of the mounting base. One end of the tension spring is locked on the tension spring holder, and the other end of the tension spring is locked into the locking hole of the rotating shaft.

[0006] The rotating shaft includes a chuck and a rod. An upper card and a lower card are provided on the left side of the rod, and the upper card and the lower card are on the same vertical plane. A locking block is provided in the middle of the rod. An upper locking groove and a lower locking groove are provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole b. A stop block is provided at the bottom of the middle of the shaft hole b.

[0007] The shaft is curved.

[0008] The mounting base has a convex ring in the shaft hole a, a tension spring holder on the convex seat, the lower part of the tension spring holder is circular, the upper part of the outer wall is provided with a stop body, the stop body is semi-circular, the rear part of the fixing base is provided with a protective seat, the protective seat is connected to the mounting base, the inner wall of the protective seat is provided with a limiting groove, the protective seat is provided with a square hollow, and the edge of the fixing base is provided with a mounting hole.

[0009] The protective cover has protruding posts on its surface and limiting posts on its back.

[0010] The technical solution of this utility model has a novel structure and a clever and simple design. The rod of the rotating shaft is connected on one side by the cooperation of the upper card and the upper slot, as well as the lower card and the lower slot. At the same time, the card block drives the stop block to rotate. This makes the force even, and the opening and resetting are very smooth, making it easier to use. It will not become stuck and difficult to pull after a long period of use due to partial force. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 11 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, a flip-top structure for a protective cover of an electric vehicle grille charging port includes a protective cover 2 and a fixing base 1. The protective cover 2 is located in the middle of the fixing base 1. The protective cover 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base of the fixing base 1 via a shaft. The mounting base includes a tension spring retainer 5 and a rotating shaft 3. The rod of the rotating shaft 3 passes through the shaft hole a of the mounting base and the shaft hole b6 of the shaft. One end of the tension spring 4 is engaged on the tension spring retainer 5, and the other end of the tension spring 4 is engaged in the retaining hole of the rotating shaft 3.

[0020] The rotating shaft 3 includes a chuck and a rod. The left side of the rod is provided with an upper card and a lower card, which are on the same vertical plane. A locking block is provided in the middle of the rod. The inner wall of the shaft hole b6 is provided with an upper locking groove and a lower locking groove. A stop block is provided at the bottom of the middle of the shaft hole b6.

[0021] The shaft is curved.

[0022] The mounting base has a convex ring in the shaft hole a, and a tension spring holder 5 is on the convex seat. The lower part of the tension spring holder 5 is circular, and a stop body is provided on the upper part of the outer wall. The stop body is semi-circular. A protective seat is provided at the rear of the fixing seat 1. The protective seat is connected to the mounting base. A limiting groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the protective seat. The protective seat has a square hollow. The fixing seat has mounting holes on its edge.

[0023] The protective cover 2 has protruding posts on its surface and limiting posts on its back.

[0024] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figures 10 and 11, during use, the fixing base 1 is installed by engaging the mounting post on the grille through the mounting hole. The convex ring and convex seat of the mounting base are to ensure that the two ends of the tension spring are on the same horizontal plane. Because the middle part of the tension spring has thickness, a certain distance is required. The shaft body is connected to the upper clip and upper slot, as well as the lower clip and lower slot on one side. At the same time, the locking block drives the stop block to rotate. This ensures even force distribution, and opening and resetting are very smooth, making it easier to use. It will not become stuck and difficult to pull due to partial force after prolonged use. The limiting post is locked in the limiting groove 7. The protective cover 2 has a latch on the right side with a buckle. The main body of the buckle body 8 is round and is fitted inside the cylinder 10 of the mounting lower cover 9. The rear end of the cylinder 10 is provided with a stop block 11, which is located on the cylinder 10. The mounting lower cover 9 is covered by an mounting upper cover. The diameters of the buckle body 8 and the cylinder 11 decrease from bottom to top. The back of the fixing seat 1 is provided with a mounting post, and the mounting lower cover 9 is provided on the mounting post. A circular opening is provided on one side of the mounting post, through which the buckle body 8 passes. The middle of the buckle opening is rectangular, and the two sides are slots. The head of the buckle body 8 is T-shaped and passes through the buckle opening to be engaged in the slots. The buckle body 8 is rotated to engage the buckle opening.

[0025] It should be understood that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not sufficient to limit the technical solution of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, within the spirit and principles of the present utility model, additions, subtractions, substitutions, transformations or improvements can be made based on the above description, and all such additions, subtractions, substitutions or improvements should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
