==CHARGING INLET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18584501 titled 'CHARGING INLET

The abstract describes a charging inlet with a casing and a cover member that allows for the connection of a charging terminal and a terminal of a charging connector when the cover member is open. The inlet also includes a heater in the cover member that generates heat when energized, along with a heater terminal electrically connected to the heater.

* The charging inlet allows for the easy connection of a charging terminal and a charging connector terminal.
* A heater in the cover member generates heat to facilitate the charging process.
* The heater terminal on the cover member is electrically connected to the heater for efficient heat generation.
* The cover member can be opened to insert the charging connector and closed to ensure proper contact between the charging terminal and the heater terminal.
* This technology improves the efficiency and reliability of the charging process.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A charging inlet of the present disclosure includes: a casing; and a cover member. The charging inlet electrically connects the charging terminal and a terminal of a charging connector to each other by inserting the charging connector from the opening portion in a state in which the cover member is open. The charging inlet further includes: a heater provided in the cover member and heating the cover member by generating heat by energization; and a heater terminal provided on the cover member and electrically connected to the heater. The heater terminal is disposed on a surface of the cover member facing the charging terminal such that the charging terminal and the heater terminal come into contact with each other in a state in which the cover member is closed.
