[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a charging socket for new energy vehicles, including a housing 1; the housing 1 has a first through hole 10 and a second through hole 11 spaced apart, a controller 12 is provided on the inner side of the housing 1, a light bar display 13 electrically connected to the controller 12 is provided on the outer side of the housing 1, and a charging stop button 14 electrically connected to the vehicle battery management system is provided; the housing 1 is also provided with a protective mechanism 15 for blocking the first through hole 10 or the second through hole 11.

[0036] Specifically, the charging socket is installed on the vehicle body and communicates with the interior of the vehicle. A cover is provided on the surface of the vehicle body to conceal or open the charging socket. Opening the cover allows charging through the socket, while closing the cover provides waterproofing and dustproofing. The vehicle's fast charging port is aligned with the first through-hole 10 for fast charging devices; the slow charging port is aligned with the second through-hole 11 for slow charging devices. When a user selects one charging port to connect the charging gun, the protective mechanism 15 can block the other through-hole to prevent foreign objects from entering and damaging the other charging port during charging. For example, when the user selects fast charging mode, the first through-hole 10 is occupied by the charging gun. The protective mechanism 15 covers the second through-hole 11 to protect the slow charging port, preventing external foreign objects from entering and improving safety.

[0037] Furthermore, during vehicle charging, the controller 12 can monitor the vehicle's charging status in real time and display the charging status to the user via the indicator light 13. Specifically, it can detect the status of the electronic lock. When the charging gun is not inserted, the indicator light 13 displays a solid white light; after the charging gun is inserted, the indicator light 13 displays a flashing white light for 2 seconds, allowing the user to determine if the charging gun is properly connected. When the charging gun is inserted but the charging state has not yet begun, the indicator light 13 displays a flashing yellow light; after entering the charging state, if a charging fault occurs, the indicator light 13 displays a flashing red light to alert the user of the fault; during normal charging, the indicator light 13 displays a breathing green light, which periodically brightens and dims, along with a SOC (State of Charge) indicator to show the current charging progress; after charging is complete, the indicator light 13 displays a solid green light for 3 seconds to indicate that charging is complete. This enriches the functionality of the charging socket, allowing users to monitor the charging status by observing the charging indicator light, eliminating the need to check the vehicle's instrument panel, making it more convenient. Furthermore, the charging stop button 14 is located on the outer surface of the housing 1. The charging stop button 14 is electrically connected to the vehicle battery management system. Users can operate the charging stop button 14 to disconnect the temperature signal, causing the vehicle battery management system to actively send a stop charging command to quickly terminate the charging process. This further ensures the safety of the charging process and the convenience of user operation, eliminating the need to move to the charging equipment location to stop the charging operation.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective mechanism 15 includes a slide rail 151 disposed on the inner side of the housing 1, a protective panel 152 slidably disposed on the slide rail 151, and a groove 153 opened on the housing 1; the protective panel 152 is provided with a slider 1521 that moves along the groove 153 and moves synchronously with itself.

[0039] Specifically, the user can slide the slider 1521 within the slide groove 153, thereby causing the protective panel 152 to slide along the slide rail 151. This allows the protective panel 152 to block the first through hole 10 or the second through hole 11, providing protection for the charging interface. The operation is simple. Furthermore, the travel of the slider 1521 within the slide groove 153 can limit the sliding position of the protective panel 152. For example, when the slider 1521 slides to the top of the slide groove 153, the protective panel 152 can completely cover the first through hole 10, effectively preventing the intrusion of foreign objects such as dust and water.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, two slide rails 151 are provided, and a first through hole 10 and / or a second through hole 11 are provided between the two slide rails 151. One side of the protective panel 152 is slidably connected to one slide rail 151, and the other side of the protective panel 152 is slidably connected to the other slide rail 151. This can improve the stability and reliability of the protective panel 152. With the cooperation of the two slide rails 151, the protective panel 152 can slide more smoothly, and the operation is smoother.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the slider 1521 is provided with an operating block 1522 for the user to grip or push and pull. To facilitate the user's operation of the protective panel 152, the operating block 1522 can be a protrusion with an anti-slip texture to ensure that the user can operate it stably.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a first magnetic attraction part 1531 is provided at one end of the slide groove 153, and a second magnetic attraction part 1532 is provided at the other end of the slide groove 153; a first magnetic element (not shown in the figure) that attracts the first magnetic attraction part 1531 is provided at one end of the slider 1521, and a second magnetic element (not shown in the figure) that attracts the second magnetic attraction part 1532 is provided at the other end of the slider 1521.

[0043] Specifically, magnetic attraction ensures that the slider 1521 is stably positioned within the groove 153, thereby fixing the position of the protective panel 152. When the slider 1521 slides to one end of the groove 153 and engages with the first magnetic attraction part 1531, the protective panel 152 covers the first through hole 10. When the slider 1521 slides to the other end and engages with the second magnetic attraction part 1532, the protective panel 152 covers the second through hole 11. This also fixes the position of the protective panel 152, preventing it from shifting due to vibration or other external forces during use.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 16, which are used to fix bolts, thereby securely mounting the housing 1 on the vehicle body.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] A new energy vehicle is also provided, including a charging socket as described in Example 1. The charging socket's protective mechanism 15 improves charging safety and the lifespan of the charging interface. At the same time, the charging socket is highly functional, capable of monitoring the vehicle's charging status and allowing for one-button stopping of charging from the vehicle, making it convenient to use.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
