Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and in particular to a flip-top structure for a magnetic charging port. Background Technology

[0002] Electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers are common modes of transportation. They are powered by their own batteries, which supply power to the motors. Therefore, consumers need to charge their electric vehicles frequently. To protect the charging structure and prevent corrosion of the connectors caused by rainwater, a flip-top structure is usually installed at the charging port. Most flip-top structures use mechanical mechanisms such as spring clips and locking tongues to control the opening and closing of the flip-top. However, after prolonged use, the connecting structure will wear down, resulting in the flip-top not closing properly. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes a flip-top structure for a magnetic charging port, including a flip-top assembly 5 and a charging panel 3.

[0032] The charging panel 3 is integrated on the outer plastic part 1; a mesh decorative part 11 is provided in the middle of the outer plastic part 1; a snap-fit ​​part 31 connected to the flip cover assembly 5 is provided at the bottom of the charging panel 3; the flip cover assembly 5 is rotatably connected to the snap-fit ​​part 31.

[0033] During the rotation of the flip-cover assembly 5, the opening and closing states of the charging panel 3 are switched. When the flip-cover assembly 5 is closed, its outer central cover 2 and the mesh decorative piece 11 are sealed to form a waterproof component. When the flip-cover assembly 5 is opened, the central cover 2 opens, exposing the charging panel 3. The flip-cover assembly 5 flips downward relative to the charging panel 3 and opens. After opening, the flip-cover assembly 5 forms a supporting plane to support the charger and cable. In this embodiment, when the flip-cover assembly 5 is fully opened, it forms a 90° perpendicular structure with the decorative piece 11. At this time, after connecting the charger to the charging port, the flip-cover assembly 5 can act as a supporting platform, allowing the charger to be placed directly on the opened flip-cover assembly 5. The second connector on the flip-cover assembly 5 can be magnetically attracted to the charger, keeping the charger in a fixed position and preventing it from falling. After the charger connector is inserted into the charging port, it can charge the electric vehicle.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-4As shown, a ring of clips is provided along the edge of the outer plastic part 1 for engaging and fixing with the exterior decorative parts of the electric vehicle; a waterproof rubber strip is provided at the connection between the center cover 2 and the decorative part 11; when the center cover 2 is closed, a waterproof structure is formed. The center cover 2 and the outer plastic part 1 can form an integral whole, forming a waterproof structure when the flip cover assembly 5 is closed, preventing rainwater from entering the charging port.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the charging panel 3 includes a snap-fit ​​component 31 and a mounting base 32; the charging panel 3 is a thin plate structure with a mounting groove 7 in the middle; the mounting groove 7 is used to connect with the charging interface; the mounting base 32 is located above the mounting groove 7 and is used to install the first connector 6; two pairs of snap-fit ​​components 31 are symmetrically arranged and are all installed at the bottom of the charging panel 3; the snap-fit ​​component 31 is an open slot.

[0036] In this embodiment, positioning grooves 33 are provided on all four corners of the mounting base 32. The positioning grooves 33 are used to install and fix the corresponding positioning parts on the back of the decorative part 11. This fixing method can avoid the screws from being exposed, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 6-7 As shown, the flip cover assembly 5 includes a retainer 51, a connecting shaft 52, and a panel 53. The retainer 51 is connected to the back of the panel 53 via a crank 58. The connecting shaft 52 extends outward from both ends of the retainer 51. The connecting shaft 52 engages with the latching member 31 to maintain a rotatable connection. The connecting shaft 52 is hollow in the middle, forming a deformation section. When the latching member 31 is assembled with the connecting shaft 52, the connecting shaft 52 deforms, thereby locking into the groove of the latching member 31. After locking, it resets and forms a stable assembly structure with the latching member 31. When the flip cover assembly 5 is opened and closed repeatedly, this part experiences minimal wear, and the connecting shaft 52 will not detach from the latching member 31, resulting in a longer service life and enhanced safety.

[0038] In this embodiment, a raised blocking member 54 is provided around the panel 53; the blocking member 54 is provided with several slots 55; the blocking member 54 and the slots 55 are used for fixed installation with the connecting seat 4 on the back of the center cover 2. The connecting seat 4 is set as an inclined surface; the inclined connecting seat 4 can play a role in guiding water; when the flip cover assembly 5 is opened for charging, if it rains, a small amount of rainwater will flow down along the inclined surface of the connecting seat 4 during the flipping process of the flip cover assembly 5, avoiding water droplets from accumulating near the charging port.

[0039] In this embodiment, a second connector 57 is provided on the panel 53; the second connector 57 cooperates with the first connector 6 to maintain magnetic attraction. The first connector 6 is a magnet, and the second connector 57 is an iron block; or, the first connector 6 is an iron block, and the second connector 57 is a magnet.

[0040] In use, push the bottom of the center cover 11, near the connecting shaft 52; at this time, the first connecting piece 6 and the second connecting piece 57 separate, and the flip cover assembly 5 can be easily opened. Connect the charger to the charging port to charge the electric vehicle. During charging, the charger can be placed on the flip cover assembly 5; the second connecting piece 57 will magnetically attract the charger body, preventing it from falling off. After charging is complete, unplug the charger. Push the flip cover assembly 5 upwards; the first connecting piece 6 and the second connecting piece 57 will magnetically attract each other, thus sealing the decorative piece 11 and forming a waterproof structure. This invention requires no complex buckles or locks; operation is completed with a simple flip or close, making it very convenient and quick. Compared to mechanical structures such as spring buckles and latches, the magnetic structure itself has no easily worn parts that require repeated movement, resulting in less wear and a longer lifespan.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
