Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging port box technology, specifically to a charging port box outer panel, a charging port box, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, charging ports have gradually become a common automotive component. Based on current charging technology, vehicles often require a certain amount of time to charge. In these technologies, when the charging port is open, there is a gap between the charging port cover and the side panel. When a vehicle is charging outdoors in rain or snow, rainwater or snow can flow into the charging port through this gap, potentially causing water accumulation and leakage. Utility Model Content

[0003] One objective of this utility model is to provide an outer panel for a charging port box to solve the problem that water may accumulate inside the charging port box and cause leakage when charging outdoors in rainy or snowy conditions. Another objective of this utility model is to provide a charging port box. A third objective of this utility model is to provide a vehicle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A charging port box outer panel includes: a cover plate having a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity extending through one side surface of the cover plate to form an open opening; a baffle plate movably disposed on the cover plate, the baffle plate having a storage position and a rainproof position, wherein in the storage position the baffle plate is located within the receiving cavity, and in the rainproof position at least a portion of the baffle plate moves out from the open opening and is adapted to block above the charging port; and a driving assembly disposed within the receiving cavity and tractively connected to the baffle plate to switch between the storage position and the rainproof position.

[0006] Based on the aforementioned technical means, when the vehicle is parked and charging, the outer panel of the charging port box is in the open position, with the charging socket exposed, allowing the charging gun to be connected to the charging socket. If the vehicle is in rain or snow, the drive assembly drives the baffle from its retracted position to its rain-proof position, extending from within the cover. The baffle prevents rainwater or snow from flowing from the cover and side panels towards the charging port, reducing the probability of rainwater or snow entering the charging port box, preventing water accumulation, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving vehicle safety. Furthermore, after charging is complete, the drive assembly drives the baffle from its rain-proof position back to its retracted position, reducing the probability of friction and collision between the baffle and the base. In non-rainy or snowy environments, the baffle remains in its retracted position during charging, reducing the probability of it being exposed outside the cover, effectively reducing friction and collision between the baffle and the base, and slowing down the rate of aging caused by sun and wind exposure, thus extending the baffle's lifespan.

[0007] Furthermore, the cover plate forms a first cavity wall and a second cavity wall around the receiving cavity. The first cavity wall has the opening, the second cavity wall is connected to the first cavity wall, and the second cavity wall has a sliding groove. The baffle is slidably inserted into the sliding groove.

[0008] Based on the above technical means, the direction of movement of the baffle can be limited, avoiding swaying during the movement of the baffle and improving the reliability of the movement of the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the baffle includes an elastic element, and the side of the baffle near the opening is formed in the elastic element.

[0010] According to the above technical means, the elastic element can undergo elastic deformation, which on the one hand can improve the tightness of the fit between the baffle and the side panel, preventing rainwater from flowing into the charging port box through the gap between the baffle and the side panel, and on the other hand can prevent the baffle and the side panel from making hard contact, reducing the probability of the baffle and the side panel being damaged by force.

[0011] Furthermore, the baffle also includes a support frame, the elastic element covering at least one side of the support frame near the opening, and the support frame and / or the elastic element being connected to the drive assembly.

[0012] Based on the above technical means, the supporting frame can support the shape of the elastic element, improve the deformation resistance of the baffle, and ensure the reliable sealing of the baffle and the side panel.

[0013] Furthermore, there are multiple support frames, which are spaced apart, and the elastic element covers each support frame.

[0014] Based on the above technical means, on the one hand, the deformation resistance of the baffle can be improved, ensuring the reliable sealing of the baffle and the side panel. On the other hand, the support frame is evenly distributed, ensuring sufficient structural strength in each area of ​​the baffle. Moreover, the support frame does not need to be set as a whole structure, which can reduce the material used for the support frame and reduce its weight. This is conducive to the lightweight design of the charging port box outer panel, making the movement of the charging port box outer panel more flexible and lower in cost.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic member has an abutting protrusion on one side near the opening, the abutting protrusion extending along the length of the opening and adapted to abut against the vehicle side panel.

[0016] According to the above technical means, the contact area between the abutting protrusion and the side panel is small, which can increase the contact pressure in the contact area between the elastic element and the side panel. The shape of the elastic element is easier to fit the side panel, improving the tightness of the fit between the elastic element and the side panel, and preventing rainwater from flowing into the charging port box from the gap between the baffle and the side panel.

[0017] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes: a motor; a lead screw, which is drivenly connected to the motor; a slider, which is sleeved on the lead screw and threadedly connected to the lead screw, and a baffle connected to the slider; and a guide member, which is movably connected to the slider, and the slider is movable relative to the guide member along the axial direction of the lead screw.

[0018] Based on the above technical means, it is possible to move the baffle between the storage position and the rainproof position, and to guide the slider to improve the stability of the movement.

[0019] Furthermore, the baffle has a clearance opening on the side near the slider, and the slider is located within the clearance opening.

[0020] Based on the above technical means, the material and weight of the baffle can be reduced, the cost can be lowered, and the space occupied by the baffle and drive components can be reduced, thereby improving the space utilization of the charging port box outer panel.

[0021] A charging port box includes: a base with a charging port; an adapter arm rotatably connected to the base; and an outer panel of the charging port box, wherein the cover plate is connected to the adapter arm and the outer panel of the charging port box is adapted to cover the charging port.

[0022] A vehicle includes: a body structure including a side panel; a charging port box, wherein the base is disposed on the side panel, and the baffle abuts against the side panel at the rainproof position.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] (1) When the vehicle is parked and charging, the outer panel of the charging port box is in the open position, and the charging socket is exposed from the charging port, allowing the charging gun to be connected to the charging socket. If the vehicle is in a rainy or snowy environment, the drive assembly drives the baffle from the storage position to the rainproof position, with the baffle extending from inside the cover. The baffle prevents rainwater or snow from flowing from the cover and side panels to the charging port, reducing the probability of rainwater or snow entering the charging port box, avoiding water accumulation in the charging port box, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving vehicle safety. In addition, after charging is complete, the drive assembly drives the baffle from the rainproof position to the storage position, which reduces the probability of friction and collision between the baffle and the base. Furthermore, in non-rainy or snowy environments, the baffle remains in the storage position during charging, reducing the probability of the baffle being exposed outside the cover, which effectively reduces the probability of friction and collision between the baffle and the base, and also reduces the rate of aging of the baffle due to sun and wind, extending the service life of the baffle.

[0025] (2) It can limit the direction of movement of the baffle, prevent the baffle from shaking during movement, improve the reliability of the movement of the baffle, and help improve the rain protection effect of the baffle in the rain protection position;

[0026] (3) The elastic element can undergo elastic deformation, which on the one hand can improve the tightness of the fit between the baffle and the side panel, and prevent rainwater from flowing into the charging port box through the gap between the baffle and the side panel. On the other hand, it can prevent the baffle and the side panel from making hard contact, and reduce the probability of the baffle and the side panel being damaged by force.

[0027] (4) The supporting frame can support the shape of the elastic element, improve the deformation resistance of the baffle, and ensure the reliable sealing of the baffle and the side panel.

[0028] (5) On the one hand, it can improve the deformation resistance of the baffle and ensure the reliable sealing of the baffle and the side panel. On the other hand, the support frame is evenly distributed, ensuring sufficient structural strength in each area of ​​the baffle. Moreover, the support frame does not need to be set as an integral structure, which can reduce the material used for the support frame and reduce the weight of the support frame. This is conducive to the lightweight setting of the charging port box outer panel, making the movement of the charging port box outer panel more flexible and the cost lower.

[0029] (6) The small contact area between the protrusion and the side panel increases the contact pressure between the elastic element and the side panel, and the shape of the elastic element is easier to fit the side panel, improving the tightness of the fit between the elastic element and the side panel, and preventing rainwater from flowing into the charging port box from the gap between the baffle and the side panel.

[0030] (7) It can not only move the baffle between the storage position and the rainproof position, but also guide the slider to improve the stability of the movement;

[0031] (8) It can reduce the material and weight of the baffle, reduce costs, and facilitate the reduction of the space occupied by the baffle and drive components as a whole, thereby improving the space utilization of the charging port box outer panel. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0045] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0046] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0047] According to embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle includes a body structure, the body structure includes a side panel 5, the side panel 5 can be located on the left or right side of the body structure, the charging port box 3 is disposed inside the side panel 5, and the charging port box 3 includes a base 2, an adapter arm 4 and a charging port box outer panel 1.

[0048] The base 2 is provided with a charging port 6. The adapter arm 4 is rotatably connected to the base 2. The outer panel 1 of the charging port box is connected to the adapter arm 4. The outer panel 1 of the charging port box is driven by the adapter arm 4 to move between an open position and a closed position. When the charging port 6 is open, the charging port 6 is open. When the charging port box is closed, the outer panel 1 of the charging port box covers the charging port 6.

[0049] The base 2 can be equipped with a charging socket. When in the open position, the charging socket is exposed from the charging port 6, and the charging gun can be connected to the charging socket to charge the vehicle. When in the closed position, the outer panel 1 of the charging port box covers the charging socket, which can prevent rainwater and other impurities from entering the charging port box 3, improve the cleanliness of the charging port box 3, and avoid problems such as short circuit, corrosion or collision damage to the charging socket.

[0050] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The following describes the outer panel 1 of the charging port box according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a charging port box outer panel 1 is provided, which includes a cover plate 100, a drive assembly 200 and a baffle 300.

[0052] The cover plate 100 has a receiving cavity 110, which extends through one side surface of the cover plate 100 to form an opening 120. A baffle 300 is movably disposed on the cover plate 100, and the baffle 300 has a retracted position and a rainproof position. In the retracted position, the baffle 300 is located within the receiving cavity 110. In the rainproof position, at least a portion of the baffle 300 is moved out from the opening 120 and is adapted to block the charging port 6. A drive assembly 200 is disposed within the receiving cavity 110 and is drively connected to the baffle 300 to switch between the retracted position and the rainproof position.

[0053] Specifically, the cover 100 is connected to the adapter arm 4. When the outer panel 1 of the charging port box is in the open position, the opening 120 is located on the side of the cover 100 facing the side panel 5.

[0054] For example, in a vehicle, the outer panel 1 of the charging port box can be flipped upward relative to the base 2, that is, the axis of rotation of the outer panel 1 of the charging port box extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle; or, the outer panel 1 of the charging port box can be flipped sideways relative to the base 2, that is, the axis of rotation of the outer panel 1 of the charging port box extends along the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0055] When the vehicle is parked and charging, the outer panel 1 of the charging port box is in the open position, and the charging socket is exposed from the charging port 6, allowing the charging gun to be connected to the charging socket. If the vehicle is in rain or snow, the drive assembly 200 drives the baffle 300 to move from the storage position to the rain-proof position. The baffle 300 extends from the cover 100 and abuts against the side panel 5. The baffle 300 can prevent rainwater or snow from flowing from the cover 100 and the side panel 5 to the charging port 6, reducing the probability of rainwater or snow entering the charging port box 3, avoiding water accumulation in the charging port box 3, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving vehicle safety.

[0056] Furthermore, after charging is complete, the drive assembly 200 moves the baffle 300 from the rain-proof position to the storage position, reducing the probability of friction and collision between the baffle 300 and the base 2. In non-rainy or snowy environments, the baffle 300 remains in the storage position during charging, reducing the probability of the baffle 300 being exposed outside the cover 100. This effectively reduces the probability of friction and collision between the baffle 300 and the base 2, and also slows down the rate of aging of the baffle 300 due to sun and wind exposure, extending the service life of the baffle 300.

[0057] It should be noted that if water enters the cover plate 100, it can be drained through drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Furthermore, control buttons can be provided on the vehicle body structure, door lock key, or user's mobile terminal. Users can control the drive assembly 200 to move the baffle 300 to the rainproof position. Before the charging port box outer panel 1 switches from the open to the closed position, the drive assembly 200 automatically moves the baffle 300 to the storage position. After the baffle 300 is in the storage position, the charging port box outer panel 1 moves back to the rainproof position, thus automatically resetting the baffle 300.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 100 forms a first cavity wall 130 and a second cavity wall 140 around the receiving cavity 110. The first cavity wall 130 is provided with an opening 120. The second cavity wall 140 is connected to the first cavity wall 130 and is provided with a sliding groove 150. The baffle 300 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 150.

[0059] For example, when the outer panel 1 of the charging port box is in the open position, the first cavity wall 130 is located on the side of the cover plate 100 near the side panel 5. The second cavity wall 140 and the first cavity wall 130 can be arranged adjacent to each other along the circumference of the cover plate 100, and at least a portion of the side of the baffle 300 near the second cavity wall 140 is inserted into the slide groove 150; or, the second cavity wall 140 is the upper or lower side wall of the cover plate 100, and the baffle 300 can be provided with a protrusion located on the side of the baffle 300 near the second cavity wall 140, and the protrusion is slidably disposed in the slide groove 150.

[0060] By setting the slide groove 150, the movement direction of the baffle 300 can be limited, preventing the baffle 300 from shaking during movement, improving the movement reliability of the baffle 300, and helping to improve the rain-blocking effect of the baffle 300 in the rain-blocking position.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the baffle 300 is provided with an elastic element 320, and the side of the baffle 300 near the opening 120 is formed in the elastic element 320. The elastic element 320 can be made of silicone or rubber.

[0062] When the outer panel 1 of the charging port box is in the open position, the baffle 300 moves to the rainproof position, and the elastic element 320 abuts against the side panel 5. The elastic element 320 can undergo elastic deformation, which on the one hand can improve the tightness of the fit between the baffle 300 and the side panel 5, preventing rainwater from flowing into the charging port box 3 through the gap between the baffle 300 and the side panel 5, and on the other hand can prevent the baffle 300 and the side panel 5 from making hard contact, reducing the probability of the baffle 300 and the side panel 5 being damaged by force.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the baffle 300 also includes a support frame 310, and an elastic element 320 covers at least one side of the support frame 310 near the opening 120. The support frame 310 is connected to the drive assembly 200, or the elastic element 320 is connected to the drive assembly 200, or both the support frame 310 and the elastic element 320 are connected to the drive assembly 200.

[0064] The supporting frame 310 can be made of metal.

[0065] By setting the support frame 310, the shape of the elastic element 320 can be supported, the deformation resistance of the baffle 300 can be improved, and the reliable sealing of the baffle 300 and the side panel 5 can be guaranteed.

[0066] Specifically, there are multiple support frames 310, which are spaced apart, and each support frame 310 is covered by an elastic element 320. This improves the deformation resistance of the baffle 300, ensuring a reliable seal between the baffle 300 and the side panel 5. Furthermore, the even distribution of the support frames 310 ensures sufficient structural strength in all areas of the baffle 300. Since the support frames 310 do not need to be a single, integral structure, the material used and weight of the support frames 310 can be reduced, facilitating a lighter design for the charging port box outer panel 1. This allows for more flexible movement of the charging port box outer panel 1 and lower costs.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member 320 has an abutting protrusion 330 on one side near the opening 120. The abutting protrusion 330 extends along the length direction of the opening 120 and is adapted to abut against the vehicle side panel 5. The length of the abutting protrusion 330 is greater than the size of the charging port 6 in the length direction of the opening 120.

[0068] The side of the elastic member 320 near the opening 120 can be constructed as a slope or an arc surface to form an abutting protrusion 330, or the side of the elastic member 320 near the opening 120 can be partially raised to form an abutting protrusion 330.

[0069] In this way, the contact area between the abutting protrusion 330 and the side panel 5 is small, which can increase the contact pressure between the elastic element 320 and the side panel 5. The shape of the elastic element 320 is easier to fit the side panel 5, improving the tightness of the fit between the baffle 300 and the side panel 5, and preventing rainwater from flowing into the charging port box 3 from the gap between the baffle 300 and the side panel 5.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly 200 includes a motor 210, a lead screw 220, a slider 230, and a guide 240.

[0071] The lead screw 220 is connected to the motor 210 for transmission. The slider 230 is sleeved on the lead screw 220 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 220. The baffle 300 is movably connected to the slider 230. The guide member 240 is connected to the slider 230, and the slider 230 is movable relative to the guide member 240 along the axial direction of the lead screw 220.

[0072] The motor 210 can be snapped into the cover plate 100. The guide member 240 can also be snapped into the cover plate 100. The motor 210 can be connected to the lead screw 220 through the coupling 250, and the motor 210 drives the lead screw 220 to rotate through the coupling 250.

[0073] Driven by the motor 210, the lead screw 220 rotates. Since the slider 230 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 220 and the guide 240 limits the slider 230, the slider 230 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 220. By controlling the rotation direction of the motor 210 (i.e., switching between forward and reverse rotation), the slider 230 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the lead screw 220. The baffle 300 moves with the slider 230, switching between the storage position and the rainproof position.

[0074] For example, when the control button is pressed, the motor 210 drives the lead screw 220 to rotate in the forward direction. The slider 230 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 220 under the limit of the guide member 240. The slider 230 gradually approaches the side panel 5. The slider 230 pushes the baffle 300 to switch to the rainproof position. The baffle 300 presses against the side panel 5 to provide waterproofing. Before the charging port box outer panel 1 is switched from the open position to the closed position, the motor 210 drives the lead screw 220 to rotate in the reverse direction. The slider 230 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 220 under the limit of the guide member 240. The slider 230 gradually moves away from the side panel 5 and pushes the baffle 300 to switch to the storage position. After the baffle 300 is in the storage position, the charging port box outer panel 1 moves to the closed position.

[0075] In low-temperature conditions, if the vehicle is in rain or snow, the charging port box 3 may freeze. When the ice resistance is detected, the motor 210 can reduce its speed and maintain constant power, increase the output torque, and break the ice through instantaneous high torque output, so that the baffle 300 can move to the rainproof position.

[0076] For example, the guide member 240 may include a first horizontal plate 241, a second horizontal plate 242, and a guide body 243. The first horizontal plate 241 and the second horizontal plate 242 are both connected to the guide body 243, and the first horizontal plate 241 and the second horizontal plate 242 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the lead screw 220. The lead screw 220 is rotatably passed through the first horizontal plate 241 and the second horizontal plate 242. The slider 230 is located between the first horizontal plate 241 and the second horizontal plate 242, and the first horizontal plate 241 and the second horizontal plate 242 can limit the movement stroke of the slider 230.

[0077] The guide body 243 can be a rod-shaped structure, and the slider 230 is sleeved on the guide body 243 and can slide along the axial direction of the guide body 243. Alternatively, the guide body 243 has a guide groove on the side facing the slider 230, and the slider 230 extends into the guide groove. The guide body 243 and the lead screw 220 limit the slider 230 so that the slider 230 will not rotate with the lead screw 220, but will move along the axial direction of the lead screw 220.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the baffle 300 has a clearance opening 340 on the side near the slider 230, and the baffle 300 forms a connecting wall 350 in the clearance opening 340. The slider 230 is located within the clearance opening 340 and can be connected to the connecting wall 350. The connecting wall 350 and the baffle 300 can be bonded together. The connecting walls 350 are located on opposite sides of the slider 230. This increases the connection area between the baffle 300 and the slider 230, improves the connection strength between them, and helps improve the motion stability of the baffle 300.

[0079] By providing the clearance opening 340, the material and weight of the baffle 300 can be reduced, the cost can be lowered, and the space occupied by the baffle 300 and the drive assembly 200 as a whole can be reduced, thereby improving the space utilization of the charging port box outer panel 1.
