[0026] In addition, in the actual production design of the outer casing 100, the end face of the OBD interface on the outer casing 100 and the bottom of the receiving groove 110 are connected by an arc-shaped connection structure. Thus, during the process of the OBD interface going from the closed state to the open state, it is ensured that the sliding connecting plate 300 can smoothly pull the cover 400 into the receiving groove 110.

[0027] As the technical scheme of the embodiment, further Figure 4 The receiving frame 600 shown in the figure includes a receiving bracket 610 provided outside the interface of the outer shell 100, two upper sliding rods 620 respectively slidingly connected with the upper sliding groove 510, and a lower sliding rod 630 provided below the upper sliding rod 620. The number of the lower sliding rod 630 is two. The lower sliding rod 630 and the upper sliding rod 620 are parallel to the axis direction of the outer shell 100. The receiving bracket 610 is perpendicular to the axis direction of the outer shell 100. The receiving bracket 610, the upper sliding rod 620, and the lower sliding rod 630 are integrally formed. In addition, a lower sliding groove 120 is provided on the outer shell 100. The lower sliding groove 120 is provided below the upper sliding groove 510 and corresponds to the position of the lower sliding rod 630. The lower sliding rod 630 slides in the lower sliding groove 120. The receiving bracket 610 is a U-shaped bracket. The contact surface of the receiving bracket 610 for supporting the OBD connector is a special-shaped surface, which can be designed according to the orthographic projection contour shape of the OBD connector. A plurality of teeth are provided on one side of the outer shell 100 corresponding to the upper sliding rod 620. The upper sliding rod 620 is engaged with the driving gear 530. The length of the teeth on the inner side wall of the upper sliding rod 620 is less than / equal to the length of the teeth on the two side walls of the sliding connecting plate 300. Specifically, the diameter ratio of the addendum circle of the driving gear 530 to the driven gear 540 is 2:1. The length of the teeth on the inner side wall of the upper sliding rod 620 is half of the length of the teeth on the two side walls of the sliding connecting plate 300. The diameter ratio of the addendum circle of the driving gear 530 to the driven gear 540 is 1:1. The length of the teeth on the inner side wall of the upper sliding rod 620 is equal to the length of the teeth on the two side walls of the sliding connecting plate 300.

[0028] As the technical scheme of the embodiment, further Figure 6 The sealing strip 700 is attached to the edge of the cover 400 corresponding to one side of the inner socket 200 by strong glue. The lower end of the cover 400 is provided with a protruding portion 410. The inner side of the protruding portion 410 is provided with a groove 411 suitable for pressing a magnet. The lower side of the OBD interface of the outer shell 100 is attached to the groove 411 by strong glue. The magnet attached to the groove 411 has a magnetic pole opposite to that of the magnet of the protruding portion 410. The outer shell 100 and the cover 400 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction.

[0029] When the OBD connector needs to be inserted, as Figure 7As shown, the staff picks up the protrusion 410, separates the mutually attracted magnets, pulls out the supporting frame 600 outward, drives the driving gear 530 to rotate counterclockwise, drives the driven gear 540 to rotate counterclockwise, drives the sliding connecting plate 300 to slide away from the OBD interface, drives the cover 400 to slide into the containing chute 110, opens the cover 400, hides the cover 400 from the OBD interface, and keeps the OBD interface open at all times. Meanwhile, the supporting frame 600 can support the OBD connector to avoid damage to the outer shell 100 caused by reverse insertion of the connector.

[0030] After pulling out the OBD connector, only need to push the supporting frame 600, the supporting frame 600 drives the driving gear 530 to rotate clockwise, the driven gear 540 rotates clockwise, and the sliding connecting plate 300 slides towards the OBD interface, thereby pushing the cover 400 out of the containing chute 110. When the cover 400 completely slides out of the containing chute 110, the cover 400 is rotated 90° by gravity to cover the OBD interface, and the cover 400 is closed.

[0031] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, when the OBD interface is in the closed state, a sliding buffer groove is formed on the upper slide rod 620 corresponding to the driving gear 530 to ensure that the supporting frame 600 does not drive the driving mechanism 500 to rotate when pulled out, thereby opening the cover 400, preventing the cover 400 from being stuck with the supporting frame 610, and ensuring that the supporting frame 610 does not block the cover 400 from closing with the OBD interface when the cover 400 is closed.
