Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a charging cover and an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, urban road resources are strained, and electric two-wheelers are lightweight and flexible, with a broad market potential. Their replacement rate for bicycles and motorcycles is expected to continue to increase. At the same time, industries such as on-demand delivery and shared mobility are developing rapidly, and the demand for electric two-wheelers is also steadily growing.

[0003] Electric two-wheelers need to be charged by connecting to an external power source through a charging cover. In existing electric two-wheelers, the charging cover mainly consists of a center cover and a charging cap. The charging plug is installed on the center cover, which has a notch. The charging rocker arm of the charging cap passes through the notch into the center cover and is rotatably mounted inside the center cover. To avoid the notch interfering with the movement of the charging rocker arm during the rotation of the charging cap, the notch is often made as large as possible to accommodate the movement of the charging rocker arm. However, this design can easily expose the internal wiring harness through the notch. Prolonged exposure can cause the charging cables to age, affecting the charging efficiency of the electric vehicle. It can also easily allow debris to enter the vehicle body through the notch, reducing the lifespan of the electric vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a charging cover and an electric vehicle, thereby solving the problem that the charging arm on the charging cover is too large, resulting in the charging cable being exposed, due to the need to allow the charging arm on the charging cover to rotate smoothly.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one aspect of this application embodiment, a charging cover 100 is provided, including a charging cover 10, a central cover 20 and a charging cover assembly 30. A charging port 21 is provided on the central cover 20. The charging cover assembly 30 covers the charging port 21 on the inner side of the central cover 20. The charging rocker arm 11 of the charging cover 10 extends through the charging port 21 to the space between the central cover 20 and the charging cover assembly 30 and is rotatably connected to the charging cover assembly 30. The charging cover 10 can rotatably cover the charging port 21 on the outer side of the central cover 20.

[0032] Specifically, the center cover 20 is usually a body panel, and a charging port 21 is provided on the center cover 20. The charging port 21 allows the charging plug 40 at the charging cover 100 to be connected to an external power source.

[0033] The charging cover assembly 30 is located inside the central cover 20 and is positioned at the charging port 21 to completely cover the charging port 21 from the inside of the central cover 20. This shields components inside the charging cover 100 from direct sunlight, preventing them from being exposed through the charging port 21. For example, the charging cover assembly 30 can completely cover the charging port 21 from the inside of the central cover 20. This also prevents external debris from entering the central cover 20. In subsequent embodiments, the charging plug 40 at the charging port 21 will pass through the charging cover assembly 30 to connect to an external power source when charging is required. Therefore, the charging plug 40 can be exposed inside the charging port 21.

[0034] The charging cover 10 is located outside the center cover 20, and a charging rocker arm 11 is provided on it. The charging rocker arm 11 is rotatably connected to the charging cover assembly 30 via the charging port 21, so that the charging cover 10 can rotate relative to the center cover 20 to open and close the charging port 21. Specifically, for example, when the electric vehicle needs to be charged, by rotating the charging cover 10 away from the charging port 21, the charging port 21 is opened, and the charging plug 40 located at the charging port 21 can be exposed to connect to an external power source for charging; when charging is not needed, by rotating the charging cover 10 in the opposite direction, the charging cover 10 closes the charging port 21, preventing the charging plug 40 from being exposed to the outside and leaking electricity or from being damaged by impacts, rain, etc.

[0035] Since the charging cover assembly 30 blocks the charging port 21 from the inside of the central cover 20, when the charging cover 10 is rotatably connected to the charging cover assembly 30 via the charging rocker arm 11, the space between the central cover 20 and the charging cover assembly 30 can be used to accommodate the charging rocker arm 11, that is, the charging rocker arm 11 extends between the central cover 20 and the charging cover assembly 30. This avoids the negative impact of having a large notch in the charging cover assembly 30 because the charging rocker arm 11 needs to pass through the charging cover assembly 30.

[0036] In some implementations, the specific shape of the charging port 21 can be rectangular, triangular, or circular, and the specific shape is not limited.

[0037] In some implementations, the area of ​​the charging cover 10 should be equal to or greater than the opening area of ​​the charging port 21 so as to completely cover the charging port 21.

[0038] Optionally, a receiving groove 31 is provided on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 near the center cover 20. The receiving groove 31 is located at the edge of the charging port 21, and the charging rocker arm 11 extends through the charging port 21 into the receiving groove 31.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 31 is provided on the charging cover assembly 30. The receiving groove 31 is located on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 facing the center cover 20. This allows the internal space of the receiving groove 31 to accommodate the charging rocker arm 11, facilitating the placement of the charging rocker arm 11 between the center cover 20 and the charging cover assembly 30. In addition, it also allows the portion of the charging cover assembly 30 outside the receiving groove 31 to be as close as possible to the inner surface of the center cover 20, avoiding the charging cover assembly 30 occupying too much internal space.

[0040] Based on this, the receiving slot 31 can be set at the edge of the charging port 21, so as to provide a certain convenience when the charging rocker arm 11 extends through the edge of the charging port 21 into the space between the center cover 20 and the charging cover assembly 30.

[0041] In some embodiments, the volume of the receiving slot 31 can be larger than the volume of the charging rocker arm 11, which can also provide a certain amount of space for the movement generated by the charging rocker arm 11.

[0042] Optionally, at least a portion of the opening of the receiving slot 31 corresponds to the charging port 21.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the smooth extension of the charging rocker arm 11 on the charging cover 10 into the receiving groove 31 via the charging port 21, a portion of the opening of the receiving groove 31 can be aligned with the charging port 21. This allows the corresponding opening of the receiving groove 31 to be exposed within the charging port 21, meaning the receiving groove 31 communicates with the charging port 21 through its opening. The exposed opening of the receiving groove 31 within the charging port 21 allows the charging rocker arm 11 to extend smoothly into the receiving groove 31 via the charging port 21 and this opening. Simultaneously, the depth of the receiving groove 31 from its opening to its bottom provides ample space for the movement of the charging rocker arm 11. Of course, in some embodiments, the entire opening of the receiving groove 31 can be exposed within the charging port 21.

[0044] Optionally, a mounting groove 32 covered by the central cover 20 is provided on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 near the central cover 20, and a mounting post 12 is provided on the charging rocker arm 11, which is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 32.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a mounting groove 32 is provided on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 facing the central cover 20. There can be two mounting grooves 32, distributed on opposite sides of the opening of the receiving groove 31, and the mounting groove 32 is connected to the receiving groove 31. A mounting post 12 is provided on the side of the charging rocker arm 11 away from the charging cover 10. When the charging rocker arm 11 extends into the receiving groove 31, the mounting post 12 on the charging rocker arm 11 can be installed in the mounting groove 32, and the mounting post 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 32. That is, when it is necessary to open the charging cover 10, rotating the charging cover 10 causes the mounting post 12 on the charging rocker arm 11 to rotate within the mounting groove 32, allowing the charging cover 10 to rotate away from the charging port 21.

[0046] Optionally, it also includes a charging plug 40. A through hole 33 corresponding to the charging port 21 is provided on the charging cover assembly 30. The charging plug 40 is inserted into the through hole 33. A limiting protrusion 34 is provided on the wall of the through hole 33. The limiting protrusion 34 is located on the side of the charging plug 40 away from the charging port 21, and the charging plug 40 is fixedly connected to the limiting protrusion 34 by fasteners.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a through hole 33 is provided on the charging cover assembly 30, and the charging port 21 communicates with the through hole 33. The charging plug 40 can pass through the charging cover assembly 30 via the through hole 33, so that its external electrical connection part is exposed in the charging port 21. It should be understood that the charging plug 40 will be fixed in the through hole 33 to provide the stability required during charging. Therefore, the inner wall of the through hole 33 should fit against the periphery of the charging plug 40 to prevent the components inside the charging cover 100 from being exposed through the through hole 33.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 A limiting protrusion 34 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 33. The limiting protrusion 34 can limit the charging plug 40 inserted into the through hole 33. The limiting protrusion 34 is located on the side away from the charging port 21. In this way, when the charging plug 40 is connected to an external power source, the limiting protrusion 34 can limit its movement and improve its durability. The charging plug 40 is installed from the side close to the charging port 21 to the side away from the charging port 21, and then the charging plug 40 is fixed to the limiting protrusion 34 with fasteners. During charging, the external plug is inserted into the charging plug 40 in the axial direction of the charging port 21, and the limiting protrusion 34 can limit and fix the charging plug 40.

[0049] Optionally, the charging plug 40 is used to connect the charging cable 50, and the charging cover assembly 30 is provided with a cable clip 37 for fixing the charging cable 50 on the side opposite to the charging cover 10.

[0050] Specifically, one end of the charging plug 40 is fixed inside the through hole 33, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the other end of the charging plug 40 is connected to the charging cable 50. The charging cover assembly 30 is used to cover the charging cable 50 from being exposed through the charging port 21. A cable clip 37 is provided on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 away from the charging port 21. The cable clip 37 is used to fix the charging cable 50 connected to the charging plug 40 and prevent the charging cable 50 from shaking. On the one hand, this can prevent the charging cable 50 from bending, which would reduce its lifespan; on the other hand, it can ensure that the charging cable 50 is placed in a straight line, reducing the amount of charging cable used and saving costs.

[0051] Optionally, a first adsorption element 60 is provided on the charging cover assembly 30, and a second adsorption element 70 is provided on the charging cover 10, with the first adsorption element 60 and the second adsorption element 70 cooperating to adsorb.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a first adsorption member 60 is provided on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 near the central cover 20, and a second adsorption member 70 is provided on the side of the charging cover 10 near the charging port 21. The first adsorption member 60 and the second adsorption member 70 cooperate to adsorb, so that the charging cover 10 can be fixed relative to the charging cover assembly 30 when not charging.

[0053] In some embodiments, the adsorption of the first adsorption member 60 and the second adsorption member 70 can be the adsorption of a magnet and a metal sheet, or the adsorption of magnets together. The specific adsorption method is not limited.

[0054] Optionally, the charging cover assembly 30 is provided with an installation port 35 exposed through the charging port 21. Limiting baffles 38 are provided on opposite sides of the installation port 35. The first adsorption member 60 covers the installation port 35 through the limiting baffles 38. Positioning protrusions 36 are provided on the charging cover assembly 30 to clamp the first adsorption member 60 on opposite sides.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting opening 35 communicating with the charging port 21 is provided on the charging cover assembly 30. The mounting opening 35 is close to the through hole 33, and a limiting baffle 38 is provided in the hole wall on the side of the charging cover assembly 30 near the charging port 21. A positioning protrusion 36 is also provided in the hole wall. One side of the first suction member 60 is limited in the hole wall where the mounting opening 35 is located by the limiting baffle 38, and the other side is fixed in the hole wall by the positioning protrusion 36. When the charging cover 10 is closed, the second suction member 70 applies a suction force towards the charging port 21. The limiting baffle 38 and the positioning protrusion 36 fix the first suction member 60 in the mounting opening 35, preventing the first suction member 60 from shaking.

[0056] Optionally, the charging cover 10 is provided with a positioning groove 13 that corresponds to the mounting port 35, and the second adsorption member 70 is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 13.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, at the end of the charging cover 10 away from the charging rocker arm 11, on the side near the charging port 21, a positioning groove 13 corresponding to the mounting port 35 is provided. The second suction member 70 is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 13. The fixing method can be any fixing method such as plugging or riveting, which is not limited here.

[0058] The fasteners mentioned above can be screws, pins, or other components that can be used for connection, without specific limitations.

[0059] In another aspect of this application, an electric vehicle is provided, including a vehicle body and a charging cover 100 of any of the above-described types, the charging cover 100 being mounted on the vehicle body.

[0060] The aforementioned charging cover 100 is fixed to the vehicle body via the central cover 20. The specific fixing method is not limited. The charging cover assembly 30 covers the charging port 21 inside the central cover 20, thereby shielding the charging cable 50, improving the charging efficiency of the electric vehicle, and extending the service life of the electric vehicle.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art.
