Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dust covers, and in particular to a dust cover for a plug connector for new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels and adopt new on-board power devices), and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

[0003] Currently, a large number of connectors (such as...) are used in new energy vehicles. Figure 1 As shown, during transportation, the connector's mating parts need to be protected to prevent damage or dust from entering and causing inconvenience. However, existing dust covers are simply fitted onto the connector, resulting in poor fixation and reduced practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0005] A dust cover for a plug connector of a new energy vehicle, comprising a cover body;

[0006] The cover has a shell-like structure with an opening at the bottom and sliding fit with the connector. The side wall of the cover has multiple receiving cavities that correspond to the connector. The cover slides with the connector through the receiving cavities.

[0007] Each cavity has an arc-shaped surface formed on both sides, and the arc-shaped surfaces between two adjacent cavities on opposite sides of the cover cooperate to form a cover removal groove.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the side wall of the cover is inclined outward from top to bottom, and abutment grooves are provided at the four corners of the cover, with the upper part of the abutment grooves inclined inward.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the upper edge of the cover is chamfered.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an extension is provided horizontally on the outer side of the lower part of the cover.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by the interlocking arc surfaces between two adjacent receiving cavities on opposite sides of the cover to form a cover removal groove, the receiving cavity can be used to protect the structure of the connector. The arc surface can play a foolproof role, while the cover removal groove can facilitate the staff to quickly put the cover on or remove the cover from the connector. The structure of the cover is cleverly utilized, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the cover.

[0012] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 2-4 A dust cover for a plug connector of a new energy vehicle, comprising a cover body 1;

[0024] The cover 1 has a shell-like structure with an opening at the lower end and sliding fit with the connector. The side wall of the cover 1 has multiple receiving cavities 2 that correspond to the connector. The cover 1 slides with the connector through the receiving cavities 2.

[0025] Each receiving cavity 2 has an arc-shaped surface 3 formed on both sides. The arc-shaped surfaces 3 between two adjacent receiving cavities 2 on opposite sides of the cover 1 cooperate to form a cover-removing groove 4.

[0026] The cover 1 is placed on the part of the connector that needs to be protected. The receiving cavity 2 can protect the structure of the connector. The arc surface 3 can prevent the connector from being fooled. The cover removal slot 4 can make it easy for the staff to quickly put the cover 1 on the connector or remove it from the connector. The cover 1's own structure is cleverly utilized, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the cover 1.

[0027] A further solution: The sidewall of the cover 1 is inclined outward from top to bottom, and the four corners of the cover 1 are respectively provided with abutment grooves 5, and the upper part of the abutment grooves 5 is inclined inward.

[0028] It allows the cover 1 to be quickly placed on the connector, and the upper part of the abutment groove 5 can abut against the connector to generate a relative force, so that the cover 1 is stuck and fixed on the connector, thus improving stability.

[0029] A further option: The upper edge of the cover 1 is chamfered 6.

[0030] It can provide cushioning protection for the upper part of the connector.

[0031] A further solution: An extension 7 is provided horizontally on the outer side of the lower part of the cover 1.

[0032] It can make full contact with other parts of the connector, effectively protecting the structure of the connector's user end.

[0033] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
