Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a charging port assembly for an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a charging dock end cover covers at a charging dock body. Fig. 2 shows a schematic block diagram of a charging port assembly for an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a charging stand end cap is engaged with an engaging structure of a hinge arm. Fig. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line a-a in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the charging port assembly includes a charging base 1 for forming a charging chamber 11 and a cover plate 2 for opening or closing the charging chamber 11, the charging base 1 includes a charging base body 12 and a charging base end cover 13 for covering a port 121 of the charging base body 12, and the charging base 1 and the cover plate 2 are hinged to each other through a hinge arm 3. The hinge arms 3 may be of plastic construction. The structures of the charging stand 1, the cover plate 2 and the hinge arm 3 are the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.

The hinge arm 3 is provided with a clamping structure 31, and the charging base end cover 13 is provided with a side structure 131 capable of being clamped on the clamping structure 31. As shown in fig. 3, the charging-stand end cover 13 is configured to be able to be clipped on the clipping structure 31 of the hinge arm 3 through the side structure 131 after being taken off from the charging-stand body 12.

According to the utility model discloses a scheme is through setting up joint structure 31 on hinge arm 3, makes charging seat end cover 13 break away from traditional string rope structure, and direct joint can be on joint structure 31 when taking off this charging seat end cover 13. Therefore, the scheme breaks through the technical conventional design in the field, creatively designs a new placing mode of the charging seat end cover 13, avoids using a hanging rope, and prevents the hanging rope from being broken due to long-time bending.

As shown in fig. 1, the hinge arm 3 has an upward facing upper surface 32, and the snap structure 31 is provided on the upper surface 32 of the hinge arm 3. Therefore, the charging device can be prevented from being placed on the clamping structure 31 when the charging base end cover 13 is placed on the clamping structure. The latch structure 31 defines a latch slot 312 with an upward facing opening, and the side structure 131 of the charging dock endcap 13 is configured to mate with the latch slot 312. Thus, the charging seat end cover 13 can be placed on the clamping structure 31. The above-mentioned "upward" means an upward direction when the charging port assembly is mounted on the vehicle, that is, an upward direction when the charging port assembly is in a use state.

This joint structure 31 sets up in hinge arm 3 and is close to apron 2 position department, so, can further prevent to influence placing of external charging device when charging seat end cover 13 places on joint structure 31.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic enlarged view at a shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the locking structure 31 includes two protrusions 311 disposed on the upper surface 32 of the hinge arm 3, and the two protrusions 311 are disposed opposite to each other and together define the locking groove 312. Here, the locking groove 312 also corresponds to a gap between the two protrusions 311. The structure of the protrusion 311 may be configured as a flat plate-like structure. The height of the protrusion 311 is higher than or equal to one third of the height of the side structure 131 of the charging base end cover 13. Therefore, the side structure 131 of the charging base end cover 13 can be prevented from being clamped in the clamping grooves 312 defined by the two protrusions 311 because the height of the clamping grooves 312 is too low, and the clamping is not firm. The clamping structure 31 in this embodiment is very simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the clamping groove 312 with the upward opening is defined by a simpler structure. When the charging base end cover 13 is placed on the clamping structure 31, the side structure 131 of the charging base end cover 13 is clamped in the gap between the two protrusions 311, which is very convenient for the user to take and place.

In one embodiment, the latch structure 31 can be disposed on the hinge arm 3 by a fastener, for example, the two protrusions 311 can be mounted on the hinge arm 3 by two screws respectively. Thus, the clamping structure 31 is convenient to repair and replace.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a charging stand end cap according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line B-B in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the charging dock end cover 13 has a side structure 131, and the side structure 131 is flat. Thus, when the straight side structure 131 is used for clamping the clamping groove 312, the design of the clamping structure 31 is simpler and more convenient, and the straight clamping groove 312 has a simpler structure and is firmer than the clamping groove 312 with a radian or other curved surfaces.

Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the side structure 131 may have other shapes, such as an arc shape with a curvature, and when designing the clamping structure 31, the clamping groove 312 defined by the clamping structure 31 is also necessarily an arc shape matching with the side structure 131, and the width of the clamping groove 312 matches with the thickness of the side structure 131.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations and modifications can be made, consistent with the principles of the invention, which are directly determined or derived from the disclosure herein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
