VEHICLE CHARGING PORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343135 titled 'VEHICLE CHARGING PORT
The vehicle charging port described in the patent application includes an opening in a body, a charging inlet with a recess for a charging connector, and a lid for opening and closing the recess and the opening. A water-stopping member is inserted into the recess when the opening is closed, movable in a direction orthogonal to the direction of insertion.
- Opening in body for charging inlet
- Charging inlet with recess for connector
- Lid for opening and closing
- Water-stopping member in recess
- Movable in orthogonal direction
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle charging stations - Home charging units for electric vehicles - Public charging infrastructure
Problems Solved: - Preventing water ingress into the charging port - Ensuring safe and efficient charging of electric vehicles
Benefits: - Increased safety during charging - Protection of electrical components from water damage - Enhanced durability of charging ports
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Vehicle Charging Port for Electric Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in the development of electric vehicle charging stations, home charging units, and public infrastructure, catering to the growing market of electric vehicles.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the water-stopping member prevent water ingress into the charging port?
- The water-stopping member is inserted into the recess when the opening is closed, creating a barrier against water entry.
2. What are the advantages of having a movable water-stopping member in the charging port?
- The movable water-stopping member allows for flexibility in adapting to different charging connector sizes and shapes.
Original Abstract Submitted
the vehicle charging port of the present disclosure includes an opening formed in a body, a charging inlet having a recess into which a charging connector is inserted, and a lid for opening and closing the recess and the opening. the vehicle switching port comprises a water-stopping member inserted into the recess along the inner surface of the recess when the opening is closed, wherein the water-stopping member is movable in a direction orthogonal to the direction of insertion into the recess.
