Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-related technology, and more specifically, to a charging device and a scooter. Background Technology

[0002] In charging systems for electric vehicles or devices, such as electric scooters, the design of the charging port is crucial for ensuring safe operation and extending the device's lifespan. In existing technology, the charging port is typically positioned parallel to the frame, with the opening angled upwards at a certain angle. This design aims to facilitate charging for the user. However, this design has significant technical flaws: during charging, if the vehicle or device is in an open environment, rainwater or other liquids can easily enter through the charging port opening, especially if the port is not completely sealed or the rubber stopper is not securely attached, leading to severe water accumulation. Water accumulation can not only affect charging efficiency but also damage the electrical components inside the charging interface, and even pose a short-circuit risk. Furthermore, the method of fixing the rubber stopper to the charging port socket usually relies on magnetic attraction and screw connections. However, in actual use, the magnetic attraction force may be insufficient to maintain stable coverage of the rubber stopper when the vehicle is bumpy or vibrating. This results in the rubber stopper not completely covering the charging port when not in use, increasing the possibility of external impurities entering and further affecting electrical safety and device lifespan.

[0003] As a result, existing charging devices have the risk of water ingress and water retention, as well as problems with the rubber stopper not adhering firmly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a charging device and a scooter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] One aspect of this application provides a charging device mounted on a vehicle frame. The charging device includes a first cover, a charger connector, a second cover, and a rubber plug. The first cover is disposed on the vehicle frame and has a mounting groove with an opening facing the vehicle frame. The vehicle frame has a through hole communicating with the mounting groove. The charger connector is disposed on the first cover, with its charging end disposed inside the mounting groove. The second cover is disposed on the side of the vehicle frame opposite to the first cover and has a mounting hole communicating with the through hole. The rubber plug is detachably disposed on the second cover and has a first portion that is limited and connected to the second cover and a second portion that penetrates the mounting hole. The outer peripheral surface of the second portion is sealed to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole. This application avoids the risk of rainwater or splash water directly entering the charging port by placing the charger connector in the mounting cavity. Simultaneously, the seal formed by the rubber plug and the second cover ensures the charging port is tightly sealed when not charging, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. The limited connection between the rubber plug and the second cover improves the stability of the rubber plug installation. The structural design of this application significantly improves waterproof performance and reduces the risk of electrical failure.

[0007] In some embodiments, the charging end of the charger connector extends horizontally. This application employs a horizontally positioned charging end, further avoiding the risk of rainwater or splashes directly entering the charging port, thus improving the charger connector's waterproofness.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first cover includes a mounting portion and a protruding portion. The protruding portion forms a mounting groove, and the charger connector is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove. The mounting portion is disposed on the protruding portion and located at the outer edge of the groove opening. The mounting portion fits against and is connected to the vehicle frame. This application, by providing a protruding portion on the first cover to form a mounting groove, places the charger connector on the side wall of the mounting groove. This protects the charger connector and optimizes the horizontal layout of the charging port structure. The fit and connection between the mounting portion and the vehicle frame ensures the stability and sealing of the charging device, improving the structural stability and waterproof performance of the charging device.

[0009] In some embodiments, the protruding portion includes a first plate segment, a second plate segment, and two side plate segments. The first plate segment, the second plate segment, and the two side plate segments form a mounting groove. The second plate segment is disposed at the bottom end of the first plate segment, and the charger connector is disposed on the first plate segment. The second plate segment has a through hole that communicates with the mounting groove for drainage. The first plate segment of this application is used to mount and position the charger connector, and the through hole on the second plate segment allows for rapid drainage even if a small amount of water enters the mounting groove, preventing water accumulation and further enhancing the waterproof performance of the charging device.

[0010] In some embodiments, multiple through holes are provided, with at least one through hole located in the area where the first plate segment, the second plate segment, and one of the side plate segments connect, and at least another through hole located in the area where the first plate segment, the second plate segment, and another of the side plate segments connect. This application, by providing through holes in the area where the first plate segment, the second plate segment, and the side plate segments connect, enables water inside the mounting cavity to drain rapidly when the frame is tilted, thereby improving drainage efficiency and waterproofing performance.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mounting portion includes a pair of connecting plates, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the opening of the mounting groove. This application uses symmetrically arranged mounting plates for connection to the vehicle frame, which helps ensure a stable connection between the first cover and the vehicle frame. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement of the mounting plates at the opening of the mounting groove also contributes to the compactness and aesthetics of the structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the charging device further includes a fixing member, and the first cover and the second cover are connected to the vehicle frame through the same fixing member. The use of the same fixing member to connect the first cover and the second cover in this application ensures that the structures of the first cover and the second cover are synchronously fixed to the vehicle frame, while also simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first end of the second cover in the length direction has a first limiting structure that is connected to the first portion for limiting, and a mounting hole is provided on one side of the first limiting structure. This application ensures the stability of the rubber stopper's installation on the second cover by providing the first limiting structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rubber stopper includes a third plate segment abutting against the surface of the second cover opposite to the first cover. One end of the third plate segment is a first portion, which has a second limiting structure that is limited and connected to the first limiting structure. The other end of the third plate segment is provided with an operating part. A second portion is provided on the side of the third plate segment facing the first cover, and the second portion is a protrusion that matches the shape of the mounting hole. The first portion of the third plate segment in this application forms a limiting connection with the second cover, ensuring a stable connection between the rubber stopper and the second cover. The operating part allows the user to operate the rubber stopper, improving the convenience of operation.

[0015] In some embodiments, one of the first and second limiting structures is an insert plate, and the other of the first and second limiting structures has a slot. At least a portion of the insert plate extends into the interior of the slot. Along the direction from the first cover to the second cover, the insert plate is disposed between two opposing sides of the slot. This application achieves a stable connection between the rubber stopper and the second cover through the cooperation of the insert plate and the slot, while ensuring quick installation and removal of the rubber stopper, thus improving the connection stability and ease of installation and removal of the rubber stopper.

[0016] In some embodiments, along the direction from the first cover to the second cover, another of the first and second limiting structures includes a fourth and a fifth plate segment arranged at intervals and in parallel, and a connecting segment disposed between the fourth and fifth plate segments, the fourth plate segment, the fifth plate segment, and the connecting segment forming a slot. This application, through the special structural design of the second limiting structure, ensures a stable connection between the rubber stopper and the second cover, while optimizing the structural layout of the rubber stopper, thus improving the connection stability and aesthetics of the rubber stopper.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure is an insert plate with a first connecting hole, and the second limiting structure is disposed on a plate segment between the frame and the insert plate to form a clearance hole, which communicates with the first connecting hole; or the first limiting structure has a slot, and the plate segment of the first limiting structure near the frame has a second connecting hole. This application, through the structural arrangement of the first and second limiting structures, forms a structure through which a fastener passes, facilitating the stable fixing of the second cover to the frame by the fastener, thereby ensuring that the second cover and the rubber plug are firmly fixed to the frame, and thus improving the compactness and stability of the overall structure.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rubber stopper further includes a shielding portion disposed on the surface of the second portion away from the third plate segment along the direction from the first cover to the second cover. The shielding portion is disposed inside the mounting groove and has a shielding surface spaced apart from and parallel to the charging terminal. This application further enhances the waterproof performance of the charging device by providing the shielding portion, especially in the non-charging state, where the shielding portion can effectively prevent moisture from entering the mounting cavity from the charging terminal.

[0019] Another aspect of this application provides a scooter including a frame and the aforementioned charging device. The frame is angled to both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the charging device is mounted on the frame. By mounting the charging device on the frame, with the frame angled to both the horizontal and vertical directions, this application optimizes the layout of the charging device while ensuring its waterproof performance, thus improving the waterproof performance and safety of the electric scooter when charging outdoors.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This application avoids the risk of rainwater or splashes directly entering the charging port by placing the charger connector inside the mounting cavity. Simultaneously, the sealing connection between the rubber plug and the second cover ensures a tight seal of the charging port when not charging, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. The limiting connection between the rubber plug and the second cover improves the stability of the rubber plug installation. The structural design of this application significantly improves waterproof performance and reduces the risk of electrical failure. Attached Figure Description

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] In order to solve the problems of easy water ingress and water retention in existing charging devices and the problem of poor adhesion of rubber plugs, this utility model provides a charging device that is installed on the frame 10 of a scooter for charging the scooter.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the charging device includes a first cover 20, a charger connector 40, a second cover 30, and a rubber plug 50. The first cover 20 and the second cover 30 are disposed on opposite sides of the frame 10. The charger connector 40 is disposed on the first cover 20, and the rubber plug 50 is detachably disposed on the second cover 30.

[0044] The first cover 20 has a mounting groove 210 with an opening facing the frame 10. The charging end 410 of the charger connector 40 is disposed inside the mounting groove 210 and extends horizontally. The frame 10 has a through hole 110 communicating with the mounting groove 210. The second cover 30 has a mounting hole 310 communicating with the through hole 110. The rubber plug 50 has a first part 510 that is limited and connected to the second cover 30 and a second part 520 that penetrates the mounting hole 310. The outer peripheral surface of the second part 520 is sealed to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 310. Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the second part 520 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 310 to form an interference fit to ensure the sealing of the structural components.

[0045] The first cover 20 of this application is disposed on the side of the frame 10 facing the ground, so that the frame 10 can form a shield to cover the first cover 20 and thus form a certain waterproof effect; similarly, the second cover 30 and the rubber plug 50 of this application are disposed on the side of the frame 10 away from the ground, so that the rubber plug 50 can be directly operated during manual charging, which is conducive to improving waterproofness and ease of operation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40 is a plug-in end for connecting to the charger. External power is used to charge the scooter through the charger and the charger connector 40. The through hole 110 on the frame 10 allows the charger to pass through and be plugged into the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40. When charging is not needed, the rubber plug 50 is inserted into the mounting hole 310 and limited to the second cover 30. The rubber plug 50 is used to block the mounting hole 310 and thus the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40, so as to prevent water from entering the interior of the mounting groove 210.

[0047] Specifically, the rubber stopper 50 is made of a material that can undergo elastic deformation. This allows the second part 520 of the rubber stopper 50 to be inserted into the mounting hole 310 and form an interference fit through elastic deformation. This interference fit then seals the mounting hole 310, achieving a waterproof effect.

[0048] In this embodiment, by placing the charger connector 40 within the mounting cavity and extending it horizontally, the risk of rainwater or splashes directly entering the charging port is avoided. Simultaneously, the interference fit between the rubber plug 50 and the second cover 30 ensures a tight seal of the charging port when not charging, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. The limiting connection between the rubber plug 50 and the second cover 30 improves the stability of the rubber plug 50 installation. The structural design of this application significantly improves waterproof performance and reduces the risk of electrical failure.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first cover 20 includes an installation portion and a protrusion portion. The protrusion portion forms an installation groove 210. The charger connector 40 is disposed on the side wall of the installation groove 210. The installation portion is disposed on the protrusion portion and located at the outer edge of the groove opening of the installation groove 210. The installation portion fits against and is connected to the frame 10.

[0050] The protruding part is configured to provide an installation position for the charger connector 40. The protruding part is connected to the frame 10 through the installation part to fix the first cover 20 to the frame 10.

[0051] This application forms a mounting groove 210 by providing a protrusion on the first cover 20, and places the charger connector 40 on the side wall of the mounting groove 210. This not only protects the charger connector 40, but also optimizes the horizontal layout of the charging port structure. The fit and connection between the mounting part and the frame 10 ensures the stability and sealing of the charging device, and improves the structural stability and waterproof performance of the charging device.

[0052] Specifically, the protruding portion includes a first plate segment 220, a second plate segment 230, and two side plate segments 240. The first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230, and the two side plate segments 240 form an mounting groove 210. The second plate segment 230 forms a bottom plate. The first plate segment 220 and the two side plates are disposed on the first plate segment 220 to form a surrounding plate. The bottom plate and the surrounding plate cooperate to form the mounting groove 210.

[0053] The first plate segment 220 is a vertically arranged plate segment, and the second plate segment 230 is arranged perpendicular to the first plate segment 220. Of course, in a specific embodiment, the first plate segment 220 can be a vertically arranged plate segment, and the second plate segment 230 can be a horizontally arranged plate segment.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second plate segment 230 is disposed at the bottom end of the first plate segment 220, and the charger connector 40 is disposed on the first plate segment 220. The second plate segment 230 has a through hole 260, which communicates with the mounting groove 210 for drainage. The first plate segment 220 is used to mount and position the charger connector 40, and the through hole 260 on the second plate segment 230 allows even a small amount of water to drain quickly into the mounting groove 210, preventing water accumulation and further enhancing the waterproof performance of the charging device.

[0055] The charger connector 40 is disposed on the first plate segment 220 for easy installation and fixation, ensuring that the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40 remains perpendicular to the first plate segment 220. This application uses a hole to be made in the first plate segment 220, thereby fixing at least a portion of the charger connector 40 in the hole and allowing the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40 to extend into the mounting groove 210.

[0056] In this embodiment, the through hole 260 is used to achieve drainage, such as... Figure 7 As shown, multiple through holes 260 are provided. At least one through hole 260 is provided in the area where the first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230 and one of the side plate segments 240 are connected. The first through hole 260 is provided in the corner area where the first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230 and one of the side plate segments 240 are connected. At least another through hole 260 is provided in the area where the first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230 and one of the side plate segments 240 are connected. The second through hole 260 is provided in the corner area where the first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230 and the other side plate segment 240 are connected.

[0057] Of course, the structure is not limited to the above-mentioned structure with two through holes 260. More through holes 260 can also be provided to improve drainage efficiency. For example, at least one other through hole 260 can be provided in the central area of ​​the second plate segment 230.

[0058] This application provides a through hole 260 in the area where the first plate segment 220, the second plate segment 230 and the side plate segment 240 are connected, thereby enabling water inside the mounting cavity to be quickly discharged when the frame 10 is in an inclined state, thus improving drainage efficiency and waterproof performance.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting part is fixed to the protruding structure and the mounting part is mounted on the frame 10.

[0060] Specifically, the mounting part includes a pair of connecting plates 250, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slot of the mounting groove 210, and the mounting plates are connected to the frame 10.

[0061] This application uses symmetrically arranged mounting plates for connection with the frame 10, which helps to ensure a stable connection between the first cover 20 and the frame 10. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement of the slots in the mounting groove 210 also contributes to the compactness and aesthetics of the structure.

[0062] In this embodiment, the mounting part and the protruding structure can be an integral structure, which helps to ensure the structural strength of the first cover 20; the mounting part and the protruding structure can also be fixedly connected by welding, such as laser welding.

[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting structure and the frame 10 can be fixed by fasteners such as screws. The two connecting plates 250 are respectively installed on the frame 10, and the two mounting plates are connected to the frame 10, which helps to improve the stability of the installation of the first cover 20.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the charging device also includes a fixing member 60, and the first cover 20 and the second cover 30 are connected to the frame 10 through the same fixing member 60.

[0065] The first cover 20 and the second cover 30 of this application are connected by the same fastener 60, which ensures that the first cover 20 and the second cover 30 are synchronously fixed to the frame 10, and also simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency.

[0066] The first cover 20, the frame 10, and the second cover 30 all have connecting fixing holes to facilitate fitting with the fixing component 60.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fastener 60 is a bolt. The fastener 60 forms the first cover 20, the frame 10 and the second cover 30 into an installation whole, thereby fixing the first cover 20 and the second cover 30 to the frame 10, so as to ensure the stability of the installation of the first cover 20 and the second cover 30, and also to ensure the relative position setting of the first cover 20 and the second cover 30.

[0068] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the first end of the second cover 30 in the length direction has a first limiting structure 320 that is limited and connected to the first part 510, and the mounting hole 310 is disposed between the first limiting structure 320 and the second end of the second cover 30.

[0069] This application ensures the stability of the rubber stopper 50 when installed on the second cover 30 by setting the first limiting structure 320.

[0070] In this embodiment, the rubber stopper 50 includes a third plate segment 530, which abuts against the surface of the second cover 30 away from the first cover 20. One end of the third plate segment 530 is a first part 510, which has a second limiting structure that is limited and connected to the first limiting structure 320. The other end of the third plate segment 530 is provided with an operating part. The second part 520 is disposed on the side of the third plate segment 530 facing the first cover 20, and the second part 520 is a protrusion that matches the shape of the mounting hole 310.

[0071] The operating part can be a handle structure, such as a columnar protrusion, provided on the third plate segment 530, for the user to install or remove the rubber stopper 50; the operating part can also be a handle groove provided at the other end of the third plate segment 530, for the user to install or remove the rubber stopper 50.

[0072] Specifically, when the third plate segment 530 is provided with a handle groove, the handle groove is provided facing the second cover 30 and can be inserted into by the user's fingers. The handle groove and the second cover 30 cooperate to form an operating part, so that when it is necessary to remove or install the rubber stopper 50, it is convenient to remove or install the rubber stopper 50, which helps to improve the convenience of operation.

[0073] In another embodiment, instead of providing a corresponding structure forming operation part on the third plate segment 530 as described above, the second cover 30 may have a groove on the side facing the third plate segment 530, and the other end of the third plate segment 530 may be covered by the groove forming operation part, so that an operation part is provided at the other end of the third plate segment 530.

[0074] Specifically, the second end of the second cover 30 may be provided with a clearance portion 330, and the mounting hole 310 is disposed between the first limiting structure 320 and the clearance portion 330. The clearance portion 330 is a groove, located on the side away from the first limiting structure 320, to facilitate fitting with the rubber stopper 50 and to facilitate operation of the rubber stopper 50 at the clearance portion 330, thereby enabling the installation and removal of the rubber stopper 50. The design of the clearance portion 330 in this application facilitates the detachable operation of the rubber stopper 50, and the structural design of this application improves the positioning accuracy and ease of use of the rubber stopper 50.

[0075] The third plate segment 530 covers a part of the clearance portion 330 to expose the other part of the clearance portion 330, thereby facilitating the formation of a handle structure for operating the rubber stopper 50. The handle structure facilitates manual operation of the rubber stopper 50 and is an operating part located at the other end of the third plate segment 530.

[0076] The first part 510 of the third plate segment 530 of this application forms a limiting connection with the second cover 30, ensuring a stable connection between the rubber stopper 50 and the second cover 30; the operating part provided at the other end of the third plate segment 530 allows the rubber stopper 50 to be operated for disassembly and assembly, improving the convenience of operation.

[0077] The second part 520 extends inward toward the mounting groove 210 to seal the mounting hole 310 for waterproofing.

[0078] In this embodiment, one of the first limiting structure 320 and the second limiting structure is an insert plate, and the other of the first limiting structure 320 and the second limiting structure has a slot. At least a portion of the insert plate extends into the interior of the slot. Along the direction from the first cover 20 toward the second cover 30, the insert plate is disposed between two opposite sides of the slot. This application achieves a stable connection between the rubber stopper 50 and the second cover 30 through the cooperation of the insert plate and the slot, while ensuring the quick installation and removal of the rubber stopper 50, thus improving the connection stability and ease of installation and removal of the rubber stopper 50.

[0079] The slot has a U-shaped groove structure to facilitate the insertion and connection of the insert plate and the slot, so as to achieve the limiting connection between the second cover 30 and the rubber plug 50.

[0080] Specifically, along the direction from the first cover 20 toward the second cover 30, the other of the first limiting structure 320 and the second limiting structure includes a fourth plate segment 511 and a fifth plate segment 512 arranged at intervals and in parallel, and a connecting segment 513 disposed between the fourth plate segment 511 and the fifth plate segment 512, the fourth plate segment 511, the fifth plate segment 512 and the connecting segment 513 forming a slot.

[0081] This application ensures a stable connection between the rubber stopper 50 and the second cover 30 through a special structural design of the second limiting structure, while optimizing the structural layout of the rubber stopper 50 and improving the connection stability and aesthetics of the rubber stopper 50.

[0082] like Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the second cover 30 is connected to the frame 10 by a fastener 60, and the corresponding first limiting structure 320 is an insert plate or a slot.

[0083] When the first limiting structure 320 is an insert plate, the insert plate has a first connecting hole. The second limiting structure is set on the plate segment between the frame 10 and the insert plate to form a clearance hole 514. The clearance hole 514 is connected to the first connecting hole so that when the second cover 30 needs to be fixed, the fixing member 60 passes through the clearance hole 514 and the first connecting hole in sequence to fix the second cover 30.

[0084] When the first limiting structure 320 has a slot, the plate segment of the first limiting structure 320 near the frame 10 has a second connecting hole, and the fastener 60 is connected and fixed with the second connecting hole.

[0085] In this embodiment, the present application forms a structure through which the fixing member 60 passes by by means of the first limiting structure 320 and the second limiting structure, so that the second cover 30 can be stably fixed to the frame 10 by the fixing member 60, thereby ensuring that the second cover 30 and the rubber plug 50 are firmly fixed to the frame 10, thereby improving the compactness and stability of the overall structure.

[0086] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the rubber stopper 50 also includes a shielding portion 540. Along the direction from the first cover 20 toward the second cover 30, the shielding portion 540 is disposed on the surface of the second portion 520 away from the third plate segment 530. The shielding portion 540 is disposed inside the mounting groove 210 and has a shielding surface that is spaced apart from and parallel to the charging end 410.

[0087] The shielding part 540 is used to shield the charging end 410 of the charger connector 40 to achieve further waterproofing.

[0088] This application further enhances the waterproof performance of the charging device by providing the shielding part 540. In particular, when not charging, the shielding part 540 can effectively prevent moisture from entering the mounting cavity from the charging end 410.

[0089] In this embodiment, the shielding surface and the charging end 410 are arranged in a spaced and parallel structure. The shielding surface is a vertical surface. The structure of the shielding surface can further shield the charging end 410 to achieve waterproof protection.

[0090] In another embodiment, this application also provides a scooter.

[0091] Among them, the scooter is an electric scooter.

[0092] Specifically, the scooter includes a frame 10 and the aforementioned charging device. The frame 10 is angled to both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the charging device is located on the frame 10.

[0093] This application optimizes the layout of the charging device by placing the charging device on the frame 10, with the frame 10 set at an angle to both the horizontal and vertical directions. This also ensures the waterproof performance of the charging device and improves the waterproof performance and safety of the electric scooter when charging outdoors.

[0094] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0095] This application avoids the risk of rainwater or splashes directly entering the charging port by placing the charger connector 40 in the mounting cavity. Simultaneously, the sealing connection between the rubber plug 50 and the second cover 30 ensures a tight seal of the charging port when not charging, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. The limiting connection between the rubber plug 50 and the second cover 30 improves the stability of the rubber plug 50 installation. The structural design of this application significantly improves waterproof performance and reduces the risk of electrical failure.
