Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive body parts technology, and more specifically, it relates to a novel charging port cover. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of new energy vehicles and continuous improvements in battery technology, various ultra-high charging efficiencies have become mainstream, making charging a common occurrence in daily life. This necessitates the repeated opening and closing of the charging port cover. Currently, the most common solution for charging port covers is to connect the fast-charging cover and the slow-charging cover separately using a binding wire. The cover is fixed to the charging port by the friction between the cover and the inner wall of the charging port. This connection method carries the risk of detachment, leaving the charging port uncovered. To ensure connection strength, users typically forcefully push the cover into the charging port to guarantee sufficient friction. However, when it's time to remove the cover, the significant friction can cause problems. This method of fixing the cover with a binding wire also requires drilling a hole near the vehicle's charging port to secure the wire. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new type of charging port cover. By setting a slow charging cover and a fast charging cover, when either end of the charging port needs to be used, it is only necessary to press the control plate of the corresponding cover. When it is necessary to close the cover, grasp its fixing frame and press it onto the charging port, and the buckle can be inserted into the fixing slot to complete the locking.

[0004] The novel charging port cover includes a charging fixing plate, on which a slow charging port and a fast charging port are fixedly mounted. Both the slow charging port and the fast charging port have fixed locking slots on their top outer walls. The slow charging port and the fast charging port are hinged together by a pivot. A torsion spring is fixedly mounted on the pivot, with both ends of the torsion spring fixedly connected to the slow charging port and the fast charging port respectively. Both the slow charging port and the fast charging port include a fixing frame. A control plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front part of the fixing frame. A compression spring is fixedly connected to the rear of the control plate, and a sealing pressure plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the compression spring. The sealing pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the fixing frame.

[0005] Preferably, an extension frame is fixedly connected to the top of the control panel, and a locking rod is rotatably connected to the rear of the extension frame.

[0006] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the sealing pressure plate.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting frame extends inward from the inner wall of the front part of the fixed frame, a top frame is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the fixed frame, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the upper part of the top frame, a second torsion spring is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, a buckle is fixedly connected to the other end of the second torsion spring, the rear end of the buckle is rotatably connected to the rotating rod, and an avoidance slot is fixedly opened on the outer side of the top frame.

[0008] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buckle, a pressing bevel is fixedly provided at the front end of the buckle, and a locking groove is fixedly provided at the rear of the pressing bevel.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. By setting up slow charging cover and fast charging cover, the slow charging port and fast charging port are sealed. When you need to use either charging port, just press the control plate of the corresponding cover, and the cover will fold over to the other cover. The two sets of covers work together to avoid the situation of having to find a place to put the cover after it is removed. When you need to close the cover, grab its fixing frame and press it on the charging port. The buckle will then insert into the fixing slot to lock it.

[0011] 2. When any cover is opened, the torsion spring pulls the opened cover to the back of the closed cover, eliminating the need to throw the removed cover around like in existing technologies, which could damage the cover or the vehicle body.

[0012] 3. By setting a sealing ring, the sealing ring seals and blocks the charging port when the cover is closed, preventing external dust and rainwater from falling into the charging port. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a novel charging port cover includes a charging fixing plate 4, which is fixed to the vehicle's charging functional area. The charging fixing plate 4 is fixedly equipped with a slow charging port 401 and a fast charging port 402. Both the slow charging port 401 and the fast charging port 402 have a fixing slot 403 fixedly opened on their top outer walls. The fixing slot 403 is designed to allow the charging gun to be firmly locked onto the corresponding charging port during charging, preventing the charging gun from accidentally falling off. The cover also includes a slow charging cover 1 and a fast charging cover 2. By setting the slow charging cover 1 and the fast charging cover 2, the slow charging port 401 and the fast charging port 402 are sealed. When either charging port needs to be used, simply press the control plate 6 of the corresponding cover, and the cover will fold towards the other cover. The two sets of covers cooperate with each other, avoiding the need to find a place to put the cover after it is removed. When the cover needs to be closed, grasp its fixing frame 5 and press it onto the charging port; the buckle 10 will then insert into the fixing slot 403 to lock it in place.

[0029] The slow-charging cover 1 and the fast-charging cover 2 are hinged together by a pivot. A torsion spring 3 is fixedly mounted on the pivot, with both ends of the torsion spring 3 fixedly connected to the slow-charging cover 1 and the fast-charging cover 2, respectively. When either cover is opened, the torsion spring pulls the opened cover over the back of the closed cover, eliminating the need to carelessly discard the removed covers, which could damage the covers or the vehicle body, as is done with existing technologies. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the slow charging cover 1 and the fast charging cover 2 include a fixed frame 5. A control plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front part of the fixed frame 5. A compression spring 7 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the control plate 6. A sealing pressure plate 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the compression spring 7. The sealing pressure plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the fixed frame 5.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown, an extension frame 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the control panel 6, and a locking rod 602 is rotatably connected to the rear of the extension frame 601. When the control panel 6 is pressed, it drives the locking rod 602 to move forward, causing the locking rod 602 to disengage from the latch 10, thereby opening the cover plate here.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, a sealing ring 801 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the sealing plate 8. By setting the sealing ring 801, when the cover is closed, the sealing ring 801 seals and blocks the charging port, preventing external dust and rainwater from falling into the charging port.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, a limiting frame 501 extends inward from the inner front wall of the fixed frame 5. By setting the limiting frame 501, the control plate 6 is limited to prevent it from accidentally sliding off the fixed frame 5 and causing damage. A top frame 502 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the fixed frame 5. A rotating rod 503 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the top frame 502. A torsion spring 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 503. A buckle 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the torsion spring 9. The rear end of the buckle 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 503. An clearance slot 504 is fixedly opened on the outer side of the top frame 502. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring 9, the buckle 10 maintains an open tendency. The clearance slot 504 slides in contact with the extension frame 601, allowing the control plate 6 to slide backward inside the fixed frame 5 until the locking rod 602 disengages from the buckle 10.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, a locking block 1001 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buckle 10, and a pressing bevel 1002 is fixedly provided at the front end of the buckle 10. The pressing bevel cooperates with the locking rod 602. When the locking rod 602 moves forward, it presses the pressing bevel 1002, causing the buckle 10 to press down and insert the locking block 1001 into the fixed slot 403. A slot 1003 is fixedly provided at the rear of the pressing bevel 1002. The slot 1003 cooperates with the locking rod 602 to limit and fix the locking rod 602, preventing the locking rod 602 from accidentally disengaging from the buckle 10.

[0034] The usage process is as follows: Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown:

[0035] 1. When fast charging of the vehicle is required, press the control plate 6 on the fast charging cover 2. At this time, the compression spring 7 is compressed, and the fast charging cover 2 drives the locking rod 602 to move backward continuously. The locking rod 602 gradually disengages from the slot 1003, and the buckle 10 is lifted upward under the drive of the second torsion spring 9 and disengages from the fixed slot 403 to complete the unlocking.

[0036] 2. Driven by the torsion spring 3, the fast charging cover 2 folds over to the rear of the slow charging cover 1, and the fast charging port 402 is fully opened;

[0037] 3. After charging is complete, grab the fixing frame 5 of the fast charging cover 2, flip it to the position of the fast charging port 402 and press it down. As the fixing frame 5 moves backward, the sealing plate 8 first contacts the fast charging port 402. The control plate 6 moves forward continuously in the fixing frame 5 and drives the locking rod 602 to contact and press the inclined edge 1002, pressing the buckle 10 downward into the fixing slot 403. Under the push of the compression spring 7, the locking rod 602 continues to move forward and falls into the slot 1003, completing the locking of the fast charging cover 2.

[0038] 4. Similarly, the process of opening and closing the slow charging cover 1 is the same as above.

[0039] This invention uses a slow-charging cover 1 and a fast-charging cover 2 to seal the slow-charging port 401 and the fast-charging port 402. When either port needs to be used, simply press the control plate 6 of the corresponding cover, and the cover will fold over to the other cover. The two sets of covers work together to avoid the need to find a place to put the cover after it is removed. When the cover needs to be closed, grasp its fixing frame 5 and press it onto the charging port. The buckle 10 will then be inserted into the fixing slot 403 to lock it in place. When either cover is opened, the torsion spring pulls the opened cover over the back of the closed cover, eliminating the need to throw the removed cover around like in the prior art, which could damage the cover or the vehicle body. By using a sealing ring 801, the charging port is sealed and protected when the cover is closed, preventing dust and rainwater from entering the charging port.
