[0002] Electric vehicle charger ports often have covers to conceal them. To access the charger port, the lower end of the cover is rotated outwards, opening the port for charging. Currently, openings or protrusions are typically required on the electric vehicle surface to accommodate the cover, which affects the overall integrity and aesthetics of the vehicle. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing electric vehicle chargers, such as the need for pre-reserved openings in the cover and the presence of protrusions on the electric vehicle, which affect the overall integrity and aesthetics of the vehicle. It provides a new charging flip cover structure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model achieves this through the following technical solution:

[0005] A charging flip cover structure includes a charger and a flip cover, and a mounting base embedded in an electric vehicle. The mounting base has a cavity, and a locking block is disposed within the cavity. The charger is detachably connected to the mounting base, and the charging port of the charger passes through the cavity. The flip cover is located within the cavity, and its inner wall is rotatably connected to the upper side of the charger. A magnet is disposed on the flip cover for engaging with the locking block. The flip cover and the charger are configured in a used state and a closed state. In the used state, the upper end of the flip cover rotates towards the charger and opens the cavity, so that the flip cover is located above the charging port. In the closed state, the lower end of the flip cover rotates towards the charger and closes the cavity. The flip cover is flush with the outer surface of the mounting base, and the magnet engages with the locking block.

[0006] The inner wall of the flip cover is rotatably connected to the upper side of the charger, allowing for the assembly of the flip cover without the need for a pre-reserved installation structure on the outside of the mounting base. At the same time, since the flip cover is flush with the outer surface of the mounting base when closed, it improves the overall continuity and aesthetics of the electric vehicle. The flip cover seals the cavity through the mutual attraction of magnets and locking blocks, improving the stability of the flip cover when closed and covering the charger, thus achieving sealed protection for the charger.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-described charging flip cover structure, the number of magnets is set to several and symmetrically distributed on the inner wall of the flip cover, and the number of locking blocks corresponds one-to-one with the number of magnets.

[0008] The multiple magnets and locking blocks enable multi-point fixation between the flip cover and the mounting base, further improving the stability of the flip cover covering the charger.

[0009] Preferably, in the above-described charging flip cover structure, a docking platform is provided at the bottom of the cavity, the locking block is detachably mounted on the docking platform, and an extension post corresponding to the docking platform is provided on the inner wall of the flip cover near the lower side. The end of the extension post is provided with a groove, and the magnet is disposed in the groove. In the closed state, the extension post is connected to the end of the docking platform, and the magnet is attracted to the locking block.

[0010] The docking platform provides an installation position for the locking block, and also enables modular installation of the fixing base and the locking block, which facilitates production and maintenance of the locking block. The extension column is set on the inner wall of the flip cover near the lower side, making the flip cover lighter at the top and heavier at the bottom. Under its own weight, the flip cover can be more stably maintained in the closed state. The magnet is set in the extension column through a groove, which has the advantages of simple structure and easy replacement and installation of magnets.

One end of the torsion spring abuts against the inner wall of the sleeve, and the other end of the torsion spring passes through the sleeve and inserts into and abuts against the abutment notch. The mounting block rotates around the middle of the I-beam frame, and the torsion spring pushes the mounting block to rotate and reset towards the charging port of the charger.

[0014] When the electric vehicle's charging plug is removed from the charger's charging port, the mounting block uses a torsion spring to rotate the flip cover towards the charging port of the charger, thus closing the cavity. This eliminates the need for manual reset by the user, improving the user experience.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-described charging flip cover structure, the flip cover is inclined, the upper end of the flip cover is inclined toward the charger, and the outer surface of the flip cover is provided with markings.

[0016] The markings indicate the direction of the flip cover rotation when opening or closing the cavity. The flip cover is tilted, making it easier to push and further improving the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the present invention:

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, a charging flip cover structure includes a charger 1 and a flip cover 2, and a mounting base 3 embedded in an electric vehicle. The mounting base 3 has a cavity 31, and a locking block 4 is provided in the cavity 31. The charger 1 is detachably connected to the mounting base 3, and the charging port of the charger 1 passes through the cavity 31. The flip cover 2 is located in the cavity 31, and the inner wall of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the charger 1. The flip cover 2 is provided with a magnet 5 for engaging with the locking block 4. The flip cover 2 and the charger 1 are in a used state and a closed state. In the used state, the upper end of the flip cover 2 rotates towards the charger 1 and opens the cavity 31, so that the flip cover 2 is above the charging port. In the closed state, the lower end of the flip cover 2 rotates towards the charger 1 and closes the cavity 31. The outer surface of the flip cover 2 is flush with the outer surface of the mounting base 3, and the magnet 5 engages with the locking block 4.

[0027] Preferably, the number of magnets 5 is set to several and symmetrically distributed on the inner wall of the flip cover 2, and the number of locking blocks 4 corresponds one-to-one with the number of magnets 5.

[0028] Preferably, a docking platform 32 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 31, and the locking block 4 is detachably mounted on the docking platform 32. An extension post 21 corresponding to the docking platform 32 is provided on the inner wall of the flip cover 2 near the lower side. A groove 211 is opened at the end of the extension post 21, and the magnet 5 is disposed in the groove 211. In the closed state, the extension post 21 is connected to the end of the docking platform 32, and the magnet 5 is attracted to the locking block 4.

[0029] Preferably, the charger 1 is rotatably provided with a mounting block 6 on its upper side, and a snap-fit ​​block 61 is provided on the mounting block 6. The inner wall of the flip cover 2 is provided with a cover plate 22 that covers the outside of the mounting block 6. The cover plate 22 has a snap-fit ​​hole 221. The snap-fit ​​block 61 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 221 for snap-fit ​​engagement. The flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the charger 1 through the mounting block 6.

[0030] Preferably, the charger 1 is provided with an I-beam frame 7, and an abutment notch 71 is provided on the inner side wall of the end of the I-beam frame 7. The mounting block 6 is provided with a sleeve 62 that is movably fitted in the middle of the I-beam frame 7. A torsion spring 63 is placed in the sleeve 62 and fitted in the middle of the I-beam frame 7. One end of the torsion spring 63 abuts against the inner wall of the sleeve 62, and the other end of the torsion spring 63 passes through the sleeve 62 and is inserted into and pressed against the abutment notch 71. The mounting block 6 rotates around the middle of the I-beam frame 7, and the torsion spring 63 pushes the mounting block 6 to rotate and reset towards the charging port of the charger 1.

[0031] Preferably, the flip cover 2 is inclined, with the upper end of the flip cover 2 tilted towards the charger 1, and the outer surface of the flip cover 2 is provided with a mark 23.

[0032] Preferably, the inner wall of the cavity 31 is provided with an outlet 311 and a positioning groove 312. The front end of the charger 1 is provided with an ear block 11 and a fastener 8. The rear end of the charger 1 extends out from the outlet 311. The ear block 11 is inserted into the positioning groove 312 for mating and is connected to the fixing seat 3 through the fastener 8.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the fixing base 3 is triangular in shape and its width gradually decreases upward along the height direction. The front end of the fixing base 3 is inclined. The front opening of the cavity 31 is located at the front end of the fixing base 3. The outlet 311 and the positioning groove 312 are distributed on the rear inner wall of the cavity 31, and the positioning groove 312 surrounds the outside of the outlet 311.

[0034] There are two docking platforms 32, and the front side of the docking platform 32 is provided with an assembly hole. The two docking platforms 32 are respectively distributed at the two corners of the cavity 31 near the positioning groove 312 on the rear side. The upper side of the docking platform 32 is connected to the lower side of the positioning groove 312.

[0035] The number of locking blocks 4 corresponds one-to-one with the number of docking platforms 32. The rear end of the locking block 4 is inserted into the assembly hole for mating, and the front end of the locking block 4 protrudes from the docking platform 32. This allows the fixing base 3 and the locking block 4 to be separated for modular production and installation, which facilitates production.

[0036] Both the ear block 11 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 312 have threaded holes. When the rear end of the charger 1 is passed through the outlet 311 and the ear block 11 is inserted into the positioning groove 312, the fastener 8 is passed through the threaded hole and tightened to fix the charger 1 to the fixing base 3. At the same time, because the docking platform 32 is connected to the positioning groove 312, the docking platform 32 can support the front end of the charger 1, thereby improving the stability of the charger 1.

[0037] More specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the lower inner wall of the flip cover 2 has two integrally formed extension posts 21. The front end of the extension posts 21 away from the flip cover 2 has a groove 211, in which the magnet 5 is embedded. The lower surface of the extension posts 21 has a weight-reducing groove, which reduces the overall weight and size of the flip cover 2, making it easier for the user to push the flip cover 2.

[0038] The inner wall of the flip cover 2 is also integrally formed with a square-shaped cover plate 22, and the left, right and lower sides of the cover plate 22 have through-holes 221. The mounting block 6 includes an inclined plate and a sleeve 62 fixed on the upper side of the inclined plate. The lower end of the inclined plate extends away from the sleeve 62 along the height direction. The left, right and lower sides of the inclined plate have locking blocks 61. The locking blocks 61 have relief surfaces, which play a relief role when the cover plate 22 is fastened to the outside of the inclined plate and the locking blocks 61 are inserted into the locking holes 221, thereby improving the smoothness of the assembly of the flip cover 2 and the mounting block 6.

[0039] The I-beam frame 7 is located on the upper side of the charger 1. The I-beam frame 7 is placed in a horizontal direction. The torsion spring 63 and the sleeve 62 are sleeved on the horizontal axis of the I-beam frame 7. The flip cover 2 rotates around the horizontal axis of the I-beam frame 7 to approach or move away from the upper side of the charger 1.

[0040] The inner wall of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the charger 1, so that the flip cover 2 can be assembled without reserving an installation structure on the outside of the fixing base 3. In the closed state, the outer surface of the flip cover 2 is flush with the front outer surface of the fixing base 3, which improves the overall smoothness and aesthetics.

[0041] When charging is needed, simply push the upper end of the flip cover 2 into the cavity 31 to open the cavity 31, exposing the charging port of the charger 1. Then, plug the charging plug into the charging port of the charger 1 to begin charging. After charging is complete and the charging plug is unplugged, the flip cover 2 rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the torsion spring 63 to reset and close the cavity 31. This is further secured by the cooperation of the locking block 4 and the magnet 5, thus achieving a sealed protection for the charger 1.

[0042] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
