Patent document 1: international publication No. 2012/153413
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
On the other hand, even if no external force or impact load is applied, the lid of the charging port may be deformed. For example, when external charging is performed under intense sun, the resin portion of the cap is easily softened, and the cap may be deformed by thermal creep. In this case, the lid cannot be normally closed, and if the lid is forcibly closed, there is a concern that the structure around the lid and the charging port is damaged. In particular, in the case where the hinge arms and the hinges of the cover are made of resin, there is a technical problem in that failure due to such thermal creep becomes easily apparent.
Disclosure of Invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a charging port structure that is capable of correcting the position of a cover with a simple structure in view of the above-described problems. The present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to locate the operational effects that are derived from the respective configurations shown in the "specific embodiment" described later and that cannot be obtained by the prior art, as other objects of the present invention.
Technical means for solving the technical problems
The charging port structure of the present invention is a charging port structure including a laterally opened cover that openably closes an opening portion of a charging port of a vehicle, and includes: a rib formed on the hinge arm of the cover and protruding along the extending direction of the hinge arm; and a rib receiving portion which is provided inside the opening portion, is formed so as to face the hinge arm, and, when the relative position of the lid with respect to the opening portion is lowered at the time of opening the lid, the rib receiving portion cooperates with the rib by abutting against the rib during closing of the lid, and lifts the lid upward.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
According to the charging port structure of the present invention, the position of the cover can be corrected with a simple structure.

Detailed Description
[1. Structure ]
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle 10 to which a charge port structure as an embodiment is applied. The vehicle 10 is provided with a charging port 11 incorporating a connection terminal 20 (charging connector) for external charging. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the charging port 11 is disposed rearward of a side portion of the vehicle 10. Alternatively, the charging port 11 is disposed in a front side portion (fender portion), a rear surface (rear hatch portion), a front surface (hood portion), or the like of the vehicle 10. The charging gun and the charging cable are connected to the connection terminal 20 of the charging port 11, whereby the vehicle-mounted battery is charged. The in-vehicle battery is a secondary battery that accumulates electric power supplied to a running motor and various auxiliary devices mounted on the vehicle 10.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of the charging port 11 in an exploded manner. The charging port 11 includes: an opening 13 formed in the outer panel 12; a bracket 14 forming a receiving portion for receiving the connection terminal 20 inside the opening 13; and a laterally opened cover 15 for openably and closably closing the opening 13. The bracket 14 is a resin member extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the edge of the opening 13, and is fixed to the outer panel 12. The bracket 14 is erected in a tubular shape from the outer panel 12 toward the inside of the vehicle 10 so as to surround the periphery of the connection terminal 20, and forms a housing portion. The outer end portion of the bracket 14 in the vehicle width direction is formed as an insertion hole having a shape (for example, a rounded quadrangle) corresponding to the opening 13. On the other hand, the cross-sectional shape of the vehicle width direction inner end portion 19 is formed in a shape (for example, a gourd shape) surrounding the connection terminal 20.
The cover 15 is a cover-like member rotatably supported by the bracket 14 and closing the opening 13 of the charging port 11 in an openable and closable manner. The cover 15 is composed of an outer member made of a planar metal plate formed in a size to cover the opening 13 and an inner member made of resin to cover the back surface of the outer member, and the inner member is provided with a hinge arm 16 rotatably supported by the bracket 14 via a hinge 18. The hinge arm 16 is a wrist-shaped member extending from one of the rear sides (an end portion on the upper left in fig. 3) of the cover 15 toward the inside (inside of the housing portion) of the opening portion 13. A hinge 18 is provided at an end of the hinge arm 16 on the side remote from the cover 15.
As shown in fig. 3, the overall shape of the hinge arm 16 is a shape that connects the cover 15 and the hinge 18 while being gently curved. The hinge 18 is located on the inner side of the vehicle 10 than the opening 13, and is located at a position away from the edge of the opening 13 (for example, a position that is not visible from the outer side of the vehicle 10 when the cover 15 is opened). The curved shape of the hinge arm 16 prevents interference between the hinge arm 16 and the edge of the opening 13 when the cover 15 is opened and closed. Further, the cover 15 and the hinge arm 16 may have reinforcing structures such as ribs and grooves formed on the surfaces thereof for the purpose of securing strength.
A rib 1 is provided on the surface of the hinge arm 16. The position of the rib 1 is set, for example, at the lower portion of the hinge arm 16. In the example shown in fig. 3, a rib 1 is formed that protrudes downward in a rib shape from a lower end surface 17 (lower surface portion) of the hinge arm 16 and protrudes along the extending direction of the hinge arm 16. On the other hand, the bracket 14 is correspondingly formed with the rib receiving portion 2. In the example shown in fig. 4, the rib receiving portion 2 is provided so as to protrude from the bracket 14 at a position below the hinge arm 16 supported by the hinge 18.
The rib receiving portion 2 is a portion for lifting up the cover 15 in cooperation with the rib 1 when the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the opening 13 (bracket 14) is lowered due to, for example, thermal deformation of the hinge arm 16. The rib receiving portion 2 is provided at a position below the rib 1 in closing the cover 15 on the inner side of the opening portion 13, and is provided opposite to the lower end face 17 of the hinge arm 16. Thereby, the rib 1 on the side of the lowered cover 15 comes into contact with the rib receiving portion 2. In addition, in a state where the relative position of the cover 15 to the bracket 14 is not lowered, the rib receiving portions 2 are arranged at predetermined intervals with respect to the ribs 1. Thus, for example, in a state where the hinge arm 16 is not thermally deformed, as shown in fig. 6 (a), the rib 1 is not in contact with the rib receiving portion 2.
As shown in fig. 3 and 5, the rib 1 is formed in an overall shape of an arc when the cover 15 is viewed from a direction parallel to the rotation axis C (rotation center) of the cover 15. That is, the rib 1 extends in an arc shape substantially coaxial with the rotation axis C of the cover 15. The two-dot chain line in fig. 5 indicates an arc corresponding to the extending direction of the rib 1. By associating the shape of the rib 1 with the rotation center of the cover 15 in this way, the position of the contact portion between the rib 1 and the rib receiving portion 2 is hardly changed when the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the bracket 14 is lowered irrespective of the rotation state of the cover 15, and the function of the rib receiving portion 2 to lift the cover 15 is stabilized.
The rib 1 of the present embodiment is set to a shape in which the upward movement amount of the cover 15 increases with closing of the cover 15 in a state of contact with the rib receiving portion 2. The protruding dimension of the rib 1 with respect to the lower end face 17 of the hinge arm 16 is set to be larger on the lid 15 side than on the hinge 18 side. In the example shown in fig. 6 (B), the protruding dimension H on the hinge 18 side is set 1 Minimum, cover 15Side projection dimension H 2 Maximum. In addition, the protruding dimension gradually increases as advancing from the hinge 18 side to the lid 15 side. Thereby, the rib lower surface 5 (lower end surface of the rib 1) is inclined with respect to the lower end surface 17 of the hinge arm 16. In other words, the rib 1 has the rib lower surface 5 as an inclined portion formed to gradually increase toward the cover 15 side in the extending direction of the hinge arm 16.
A rib support surface 6 is formed at the upper end of the rib receiving portion 2. The rib support surface 6 is a planar portion that abuts against the rib lower surface 5 when the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the bracket 14 is lowered, and is disposed so as to face the rib lower surface 5. In the example shown in fig. 6 (B), in a cross section along the extending direction of the rib 1, the rib supporting surface 6 is arranged orthogonal to the wall-shaped rib receiving portion 2 erected from the bracket 14, and the rib receiving portion 2 and the rib supporting surface 6 are integrally connected in an L-shaped cross section. The rib support surface 6 is formed in a smooth planar shape slidable with respect to the rib lower surface 5.
Fig. 6 (C) shows a state in which the rib lower surface 5 of the rib 1 is in contact with the rib support surface 6 of the rib receiving portion 2 when the cover 15 is closed in a state in which the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the bracket 14 is lowered due to thermal deformation of the hinge arm 16. At this time, the position of the lower end surface 17 of the hinge arm 16 is shifted upward from the rib supporting surface 6 by the protruding dimension H 1 Is a position of (c). Subsequently, as the cover 15 is gradually closed, the cover 15 gradually moves upward. Finally, as shown in fig. 6 (D), the position of the lower end surface 17 of the hinge arm 16 is maximized to be moved upward from the rib supporting surface 6 by the protruding dimension H 2 Is a position of (c).
As shown in fig. 3 and 5, a guide 3 protruding toward the closing direction of the cover 15, that is, toward the housing portion is provided on the back surface side (inner side) of the cover 15. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the guide 3 is formed in a flat columnar shape having a quarter circle cross-sectional shape. Alternatively, the columnar structure may be formed in a flat columnar shape having a cross section of a quadrangle (for example, a rectangle or trapezoid with one or more corners rounded). In addition, in a posture in which the cover 15 is attached to the vehicle 10, the lower surface side of the guide 3 is formed in a smoothly curved shape. Hereinafter, this curved portion will be referred to as the guide lower surface 7.
The guide 3 is disposed on the other side (the end on the lower right side in fig. 3) opposite to the side of the cover 15 to which the hinge arm 16 is connected. In addition, a guide receiving portion 4 is formed in the bracket 14. In the example shown in fig. 4, the guide receiving portion 4 is provided in a recessed manner at a position (a side away from the hinge 18) opposite to the side of the bracket 14 where the hinge 18 is provided. The guide receiving portion 4 is disposed at a position that abuts against the guide 3 during closing of the cover 15, and is formed in a shape that engages with the guide 3 in a state where the cover 15 closes the charging port 11. Thereby, the lowering of the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the opening 13 is restricted.
The guide 3 of the present embodiment is set to a shape in which the upward movement amount of the cover 15 increases with closing of the cover 15 in a state of contact with the guide receiving portion 4. As shown in fig. 7 (a), in the present embodiment, the shape of the guide lower surface 7 (lower end surface of the guide 3) is formed in a complete shape bulging downward, and the guide bearing surface 8 can be in contact with the guide lower surface 7. The longitudinal dimension, i.e., the thickness dimension, of the guide 3 shown in fig. 7 (a) is set to increase as it progresses from the inside to the outside of the vehicle 10. In addition, the shape of the guide lower surface 7 is a smoothly inclined curved surface shape. The guide support surface 8 is a planar portion that abuts against the guide lower surface 7 when the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the bracket 14 is lowered, and is disposed so as to face the guide lower surface 7. The guide support surface 8 is formed in a smooth surface shape slidable with respect to the guide lower surface 7. The positional relationship of the guide support surface 8 and the guide lower surface 7 is set such that, for example, when the cover 15 is closed while the rib support surface 6 is brought into contact with the rib lower surface 5, the guide support surface 8 is brought into contact with the guide lower surface 7.
Fig. 7 (B) shows a state in which the guide lower surface 7 of the guide 3 is in contact with the guide support surface 8 of the guide receiving portion 4 when the cover 15 is closed in a state in which the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the bracket 14 is lowered due to thermal deformation of the hinge arm 16. That is, as a result of the rib 1 and the rib receiving portion 2 lifting the cover 15 upward, the guide lower surface 7 contacts the guide support surface 8. Subsequently, as the cover 15 is gradually closed, the cover 15 gradually moves upward. Finally, as shown in fig. 7 (C), the entire guide 3 is inserted into and engaged with the inside of the guide receiving portion 4.
[2. Action, effect ]
(1) As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the charging port structure described above is provided with the rib 1 and the rib receiving portion 2. The rib 1 is provided so as to protrude in the extending direction of the hinge arm 16 of the cover 15 (in a rib shape from the hinge arm 16), and the rib receiving portion 2 is formed inside the opening 13 (in the present embodiment, the bracket 14 for supporting the hinge arm 16). When the relative position of the cover 15 with respect to the opening 13 (bracket 14) is lowered, the rib receiving portion 2 contacts the rib 1 during closing of the cover 15, and thereby cooperates with the rib 1 to raise the cover 15 upward.
With such a structure, for example, when the cover 15 moves downward due to thermal deformation of the hinge arm 16, the cover 15 can be lifted during closing of the cover 15, and the cover 15 can be brought close to the correct position. Therefore, the charging port structure capable of correcting the position of the lid 15 can be provided with a simple structure, and breakage of the lid 15 and the vicinity of the charging port 11 can be prevented.
(2) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the rib 1 is extended in an arc shape almost coaxial with the rotation center of the cover 15. This makes it possible to set the contact position between the rib 1 and the rib receiving portion 2 at a substantially constant position when the cover 15 is closed, and to stabilize the function of lifting the cover 15 by the rib receiving portion 2. In addition, since the contact position of the rib 1 with respect to the rib receiving portion 2 is hardly changed, the size of the rib receiving portion 2 can be reduced, the formability and the degree of freedom of design of the bracket 14 can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
(3) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 (B), the rib 1 is formed in a shape such that the amount of movement of the cover 15 upward increases as the cover 15 is closed. This allows the cover 15 to be gradually lifted up during the closing of the cover 15, and the position of the cover 15 can be corrected without difficulty. Further, since the load for correction is distributed over a wide range of the hinge arms 16, breakage of the cover 15 and the hinge arms 16 can be prevented.
(4) In the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 (B), the rib supporting surface 6 is formed on the rib receiving portion 2. The rib support surface 6 is formed in a planar shape that abuts the lower end (the rib lower surface 5) of the rib 1. By supporting the lower end of the rib 1 with a surface in this way, the pressure acting between the rib lower surface 5 and the rib support surface 6 can be reduced, and the cover 15 can be easily lifted. Further, by supporting the lower end of the rib 1 in a somewhat wider area, the rib 1 can be prevented from falling off from the rib receiving portion 2, and the function of lifting the cover 15 by the rib supporting portion 2 can be stabilized.
(5) As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the above-described charging port structure is provided with a guide 3 and a guide receiving portion 4. The guide 3 protrudes from the cover 15 in the closing direction of the cover 15. The guide receiving portion 4 is disposed at a position that abuts against the guide 3 during closing of the cover 15, and is formed to regulate the relative position of the cover 15 (e.g., to engage with the guide 3) in a state where the cover 15 closes the charging port 11. Here, if the rib 1 and the rib receiving portion 2 are in the "first cover-raised configuration", the guide 3 and the guide receiving portion 4 are referred to as the "second cover-raised configuration". By adding such a cover lifting structure, the cover 15 can be more reliably brought close to the correct position, and the position correction effect of the cover 15 can be improved. Further, since the load for correction of the second cover lifting structure is distributed to the whole of the cover 15, breakage of the cover 15 and the hinge arm 16 can be prevented.
(6) In the above-described embodiment, when the relative position of the cover 15 to the bracket 14 is lowered, the rib receiving portion 2 lifts up at least the cover 15 to a position where the guide 3 can abut against the guide receiving portion 4. That is, the first cover lifting structure lifts the cover 15 upward, and then the second cover lifting structure lifts the cover 15 further upward. This can increase the upward lifting dimension of the cover 15, and can improve the position correction effect of the cover 15.
(7) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the guide 3 is formed in a shape such that the amount of movement of the cover 15 upward increases as the cover 15 is closed. In this way, in the second cover-lifting structure, the cover 15 can be gradually lifted up during closing of the cover 15, and the position of the cover 15 can be corrected without fail. Therefore, the charging port structure capable of correcting the position of the lid 15 can be provided with a simple structure, and breakage of the lid 15 and the vicinity of the charging port 11 can be prevented.
[3. Modification ]
The above-described embodiments are merely examples, and are not meant to exclude the application of various modifications and techniques not explicitly shown in the present embodiments. The structures of the present embodiment can be variously modified and implemented within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. In addition, selection and selection can be appropriately performed as needed, or combination can be appropriately performed.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, although the rib 1 is formed at the lower end face 17 of the hinge arm 16, the position at which the rib 1 is formed is not limited to the lower end face 17 of the hinge arm 16. The same operation and effect as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained by providing at least the rib 1 so as to protrude in a rib shape from the hinge arm 16 and forming the rib receiving portion 2 capable of abutting against the rib 1 in advance on the bracket 14 side.
In the above-described embodiment, the structure in which the rib receiving portion 2 and the guide receiving portion 4 are formed in the bracket 14 has been described, but the bracket 14 may be omitted. In this case, the rib receiving portion 2 and the guide receiving portion 4 are formed in the housing portion, whereby the same operations and effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. The guide 3 and the guide receiving portion 4 can be omitted. By forming the rib 1 at least in the hinge arm 16 of the cover 15 and providing the rib receiving portion 2 at a position facing the rib 1 inside the opening portion 13, the cover 15 can be lifted upward during closing of the cover 15, and the position of the cover 15 can be corrected appropriately with a simple structure.
In the above-described embodiment, the rib 1 is illustrated as having a structure in which the amount of movement of the cover 15 upward with closing of the cover 15 in the state of contact with the rib receiving portion 2 (see (a) to (D) of fig. 6), but the rib receiving portion 2 may be illustrated as having a structure in which the amount of movement of the cover 15 upward with closing of the cover 15 in the state of contact with the rib 1 is increased. In this case, for example, the rib supporting surface 6 of the rib receiving portion 2 is an inclined portion formed so as to gradually increase in the extending direction of the hinge arm 16 toward the cover 15.
In the above-described embodiment, the guide 3 is illustrated as having a structure in which the upward movement amount of the cover 15 increases and decreases with closing of the cover 15 in a state of contact with the guide support portion 4 (see (a) to (C) of fig. 7), but the guide receiving portion 4 may be illustrated as having a structure in which the upward movement amount of the cover 15 increases with closing of the cover 15 in a state of contact with the guide 3. In this case, for example, the guide support surface 8 of the guide receiving portion 4 is an inclined portion formed so as to protrude upward as going inward in the vehicle width direction.
