Integrated damper: the damper mechanism is directly integrated into the hinge, typically by means of an eccentric cam or detent on the hinge arm to achieve the damping function.

In a specific embodiment, the first driving part and the second driving part are motors, which control the opening and closing and locking of the cover 31, respectively. The specific process is as follows: when the cover 31 is in the closed state, the telescopic locking structure 41 is in the locking position, and cooperates with the connecting structure on the hinge arm structure 32 to limit the swing of the hinge arm structure 32. When the cover 31 needs to be opened, the controller sends a signal to the second driving part to drive the telescopic locking structure 41 to move from the locking position to the unlocking position, and the hinge arm structure 32 is avoided. Then, the controller sends a signal to the first driving part to swing the hinge arm structure 32, and rotates the cover 31 from the closed state to the open state, thereby exposing the charging part 20. When the cover 31 needs to be closed, the controller sends a signal to the first driving part to drive the hinge arm structure 32 to swing, so that the cover 31 is rotated from the open state to the closed state, and the charging part 20 is shielded. Then, the controller sends a signal to the second driving part to drive the telescopic locking structure 41 to move from the unlocking position to the locking position, and cooperates with the connecting structure on the hinge arm structure 32 to limit the swing of the hinge arm structure 32.

In one embodiment, the hinge arm structure 32 is a metal material. The hinge arm structure 32 is a mechanical device for connecting the cover 31 and the main body 10 and enabling the cover 31 to rotate between a closed state and an open state. The first end of the hinge arm structure 32 is fixedly connected with the cover 31, the second end of the hinge arm structure 32 is hinged with the main body 10, and the hinge shaft penetrates through the hinge arm so that the hinge arm can rotate relatively. The hinge arm structure 32 functions to enable the cover 31 to be switched between the closed state and the open state by the driving of the first driving portion. The closed state means that the lid 31 completely covers the charging unit 20, and the open state means that the lid 31 completely exposes the charging unit 20. When the cover 31 needs to be opened or closed, the first driving part drives the hinge arm structure 32 to swing, so that the cover 31 rotates along the hinge axis. The hinge arm structure 32 also cooperates with the locking portion 40 to lock and unlock the cover 31. The locking portion 40 includes a telescopic locking structure 41 and a second driving portion. The telescopic locking mechanism 41 is a mechanical device that can be extended or contracted, having a locked position and an unlocked position.

The connecting structure is a mechanical device with a hole structure, which is matched with the end part of the telescopic locking structure 41. The end of the telescopic locking structure 41 is a mechanical device with a post structure that can be inserted into or withdrawn from the hole of the connecting structure. When the cover 31 is in the closed state, the telescopic locking structure 41 is in the locking position, and the end of the telescopic locking structure is inserted into a hole of a certain connecting structure to cooperate with the hole to limit the swing of the hinge arm structure 32, so that the locking of the cover 31 is realized. When the cover 31 needs to be opened or closed, the second driving part drives the telescopic locking structure 41 to move from the locking position to the unlocking position, and the end part of the telescopic locking structure is pulled out from the hole of the connecting structure to avoid the hinge arm structure 32, so that the cover 31 is unlocked. To facilitate the engagement of the telescopic locking structure 41 with the connecting structure, the side of the hinge arm structure 32 adjacent to the locking portion 40 is further provided with a guiding slope. The guide slope is a gradually inclined plane toward the hole structure, and can guide the end of the telescopic locking structure 41 to be smoothly inserted into or withdrawn from the hole.

In a preferred embodiment, the sealing rubber strip is arranged around the cover body in the embodiment, so that the sealing performance between the cover body and the charging part is mainly enhanced, the charging part is prevented from being influenced by moisture, dust, foreign matters and the like, and the normal operation and the service life of the charging part are ensured. Meanwhile, the sealing rubber strip can reduce friction and impact between the cover body and the charging part, prevent the cover body or the charging part from being damaged or deformed, and improve the stability and reliability of the charging cover assembly. The sealing rubber strip can stretch and deform along with the switching of the cover body between the closed state and the open state, so that the sealing rubber strip is suitable for different gap sizes and shapes, and a good sealing effect is maintained. The locking mechanism can be matched with the hinge arm structure and the locking part in a coordinated manner, so that the opening and closing of the cover body are not influenced, and the locking and unlocking of the locking part are not influenced. The sealing rubber strip can improve the safety and the protection performance of the charging port cover assembly, and prevents dangerous situations such as electric leakage, short circuit, fire and the like of the charging part.
