[0002] Due to the need for external charging, new energy vehicles have added a charging port cover component. This cover must maintain the same color as the surrounding parts, so the raw material of the component needs to be painted. This component is usually fixed to the vehicle body door using tooling, and painted at the same time as the vehicle body is painted. The existing technology that uses gravity self-locking is not suitable for large-sized charging covers. In order to ensure the color difference between the charging cover and the surrounding parts, the component needs to be close to the surrounding vehicle body. The farther away from the vehicle body, the easier it is for the appearance to deviate. The existing installation method will cause the charging port cover to be far away from the door, and the tooling structure is complex, the assembly workload is large, the tooling fixation and the position of the vehicle body painting are highly demanding and difficult to adapt, which increases the difficulty of process development.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN223083013U, published on July 11, 2025, discloses a screw cover spraying device, including a spraying device housing, a constraint component, a fixing component, and a connecting component.
