AI Technical Summary
Existing charging ports for electric vehicles often require manual reattachment of dust covers after use, leading to potential exposure to dust and water, especially in high-capacity charging systems like CCS2, where forgetfulness can leave the socket unprotected.
A self-closing dust cover mechanism integrated with the charging port that automatically shuts when the charging cover is closed, utilizing a hinge, fastener, and wheel system to ensure the dust cover locks into place without manual intervention.
Prevents dust and water ingress by ensuring the dust cover automatically closes after use, maintaining socket integrity and preventing damage during charging sessions.

Abstract
Description
1 TARIFF A charging port with an automatic dust cover. Technical Area 5 This invention is used in high-capacity charging sockets for electric vehicles, which can be plugged in and installed. The dust cover and charging cover are removable and are removed during charging. It's related to a charging port that automatically shuts off when the power is turned off. Previous Technique To charge electric vehicles, the covers located at the charging port must be opened. and then the dust cover on the socket is removed and the charging cable is inserted. is installed. After charging, in some cases the user needs to reattach the dust cover after 15 minutes. They might forget to put it back in place. This situation affects high-capacity charging (CCS2). leaving the socket unprotected from rain and dust and preventing a potential problem It opens. If the dust cover is not closed, it may remain outside the socket. Therefore, nowadays, the dust cover opens automatically when the charging port is closed. Solutions are needed to ensure its closure. 20 International patent number WO2023098819A1, which falls under the prior art. the document describes a self-closing electric vehicle dust cover. The mechanism is described. The invention involves self-locking and return. A dustproof device with spring-loaded functions and a charger are provided. 25 Dustproof device; a dustproof cover mounting bracket, a dustproof cover, a dustproof cover fastening mechanism and a dustproof lid It consists of a locking mechanism. Dustproof cover, fastening. It is hinged onto the mounting bracket via its mechanism. and rotated by the locking mechanism to the locking position 30 It is brought in. The lid locking mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket. 2 It is fitted with a dustproof cover and is attached in an interlocking manner, and the cover by ensuring it is locked in the open position, the lid returns to its locking position. It prevents dust. The dustproof cover is secured by a spring without the need for manual fastening. is moved by and is spontaneously in the open position It can be locked in place; this means the charging gun head can be easily attached to the charging socket. 5 It ensures that it is attached. The cap lock is secured with the help of the charging gun head. It can be opened, and after the lid is removed, the lid automatically closes again. It can be locked in place. Additionally, the dustproof cover can be opened manually and left unlocked. It can be brought in, and in this case the lid automatically springs back to charge. It can be fixed to the socket. 10 Brief Description of the Invention The aim of this invention is to create a device that moves in sync with the charging port and the charging port. a charging port 15 that has a dust cover that closes automatically when closed to accomplish. Detailed Description of the Invention The “Automatic Shut-Off Dust 20” project was carried out to achieve the purpose of this invention. The "Charging Port with Cover" is shown in the attached figures; Figure 1. Front view of a charging port, which is the subject of the invention. Figure 2. The subject of the invention, a charging port with the dust cover closed and the charging cover open. This is what it looks like in that position. 25 Figure 3.

It contains a wheel (7). The subject of the invention is a housing (2) located on the vehicle, which includes a charging port (1). Access to the sockets on it is provided via the charging cover (4). High-capacity socket inputs on the housing (2) and the said socket 30 There is at least one dust cover (3) that closes the inlets. 4 The subject of the invention is the dust cover (3) located on the end parts of the charging port (1) and the body. (2) by entering into the high-capacity socket located on the body (2) closing the inlet and the connector attached to the charging cover (4) at one end (6) is connected. Dust cover (3) when charging cover (4) is closed 5 During the rotational movement on the hinge (5) axis, the connection It is pulled through element (6) towards the sockets on the body (2) and It snaps into place on the housing (2) when the charging cover (4) is closed. The subject of the invention is a charging cover (4) located in a charging port (1) hinged on the vehicle 10 (5) It performs opening and closing movement on the axis and connects when closing. by pulling the element (5) the dust cover closes the sockets (2) on the body It provides. The charging cover (4) near the hinge (5) from the other end The connecting element (6) is attached to the dust cover (3). The subject of the invention is a connector (6) located in a charging port (1) with dust at one end. It is a wire or cord that is connected to the cover (3) at one end and to the charging cover (4) at the other end. After the connecting element (6) is attached to the dust cover (3) inside the housing (2) It lies straight and passes through the wheel (7) and the charging cover (4) hinge (5) is located It is connected to the end.
