[0034] For example, electronic devices such as earphones, smart badges, wearable cameras, etc. are usually equipped with a charging case to achieve the functions of storage and charging for the electronic devices. However, as an accessory for electronic devices, the charging case lacks interestingness in use. Moreover, the volume size of the charging case needs to match the electronic device, resulting in limited battery life.

[0035] This disclosure provides a charging case. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a charging case in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the charging case 1 includes a main body structure 12, a rotating member 11 and a power storage module. A charging compartment 123 is provided in the main body structure 12 to accommodate the terminal device 2 and supply power to the terminal device 2. The rotating member 11 is movably assembled to the main body structure 12 so that the rotating member 11 and / or the main body structure 12 make relative rotational movements under a force state. One of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 is provided with a magnetic member 14, and the other is provided with an induction coil 15. The induction coil 15 cuts the magnetic lines of force formed by the magnetic member 14 during the movement of the rotating member 11, and the power storage module is electrically connected to the induction coil 15.

[0036] Since the charging case 1 is provided with a rotating member 11, the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12 of the charging case 1 can perform relative rotational movement under a force, and the user can apply a force to the rotating member 11 or the main body structure 12 when using the charging case 1 to obtain a fun decompression function similar to that of a fingertip gyro. In addition, one of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 is provided with a magnetic member 14, and the other is provided with an induction coil 15. By using the induction coil 15 to cut the magnetic force lines of the magnetic member 14 during the relative rotational movement of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11, an electric current can be generated. After the above electric current is collected, it can be used to increase the battery life of the charging case 1 and the electronic device 3 using the above charging case 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the main body structure 12 can be the part that can complete the main functions of the charging case 1, and the rotating member 11 can be the part used to realize relative rotation. During the relative rotation of the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12, at least one of the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12 can be in a rotating state.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 can achieve relative rotation through means such as a bearing 13 and a rotating shaft. The following is an exemplary description:

[0039] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional exploded structure of an electronic device 3 in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an electronic device 3 in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the charging case 1 further includes a bearing 13. One of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 is fixedly connected to the inner ring 131 of the bearing 13, and the other is fixedly connected to the outer ring 132 of the bearing 13. During use, the rotating member 11 can be manually rotated, and through the smooth rotation of the bearing 13, the fingertip gyro function of the charging case 1 can be realized. The bearing 13 has a simple structure, so it also helps to simplify the movable connection between the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12 and optimize the space configuration.

[0040] In some embodiments, in the axial direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member 11, the bearing 13, the magnetic member 14, and the induction coil 15 can be located in different axial sections. On the one hand, it can avoid the structural interference between the bearing 13 and the magnetic member 14 and the induction coil 15, and on the other hand, it can also avoid the bearing 13 interfering with the induction coil 15 cutting the magnetic force lines of the magnetic member 14.

[0041] For example, the rotating member 11 may be an annular structure disposed around the periphery of the main body structure 12 to rotate around the periphery of the main body structure 12. A limiting structure may be provided on the inner surface 113 of the rotating member 11 facing the main body structure 12 to achieve fixation with the outer ring 132 of the bearing 13. When the magnetic member 14 is assembled in the recess of the inner surface 113, a part of the magnetic member 14 may protrude from the recess, and the magnetic member 14 protruding from the recess cooperates with the limiting structure to jointly achieve the limiting fixation of the outer ring 132 of the bearing 13 in the axial direction of the rotation of the rotating member 11. The main body structure 12 may include a support surface flush with the upper surface of the magnetic member 14 facing the outer ring 132 of the bearing 13, and the inner ring 131 of the bearing 13 may be fixedly assembled with the above support surface.

[0042] In some other embodiments, the charging case 1 may further include a mounting shaft, the mounting shaft is assembled to one of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11, and the other of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft to rotate around the mounting shaft, so as to achieve the relative rotation of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 through the mounting shaft. Among them, the rotation connection scheme can be selected according to the specific structures and assembly schemes of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11, so as to make the rotating connection member adapt to the assembly method of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11. For example, the rotating member 11 is located in the middle of the main body structure 12, the rotating member 11 includes an operating part exposed outside the main body structure 12, the mounting shaft is fixedly assembled to the rotating member 11, and the main body structure 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft. During use, the user can grasp the operating part and swing the main body structure 12 to achieve the relative rotation between the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11.

[0043] In other embodiments, the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 may also be rotatably connected by means of a pin shaft, gear meshing, etc., which can be selected according to the specific structures and assembly schemes of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rotating member 11 may include an annular structure disposed around the periphery of the main body structure 12 to rotate around the periphery of the main body structure 12, so as to improve the overall aesthetics of the charging case 1 and the convenience of applying force for relative rotation by means of the annular structure surrounding the main body structure 12.

[0045] In some embodiments, a first assembly portion 1211 is provided in an edge region of the main body structure 12, and a second assembly portion 111 is provided on a side of the rotating member 11 facing the main body structure 12. One of the magnetic member 14 and the induction coil 15 is mounted on the first assembly portion 1211, and the other is mounted on the second assembly portion 111. By respectively arranging the magnetic member 14 and the induction coil 15 in the edge region of the main body structure 12 and on the side of the rotating member 11 facing the main body structure 12, an electromagnetic induction structure basis with corresponding positions and no other structural separation in space can be obtained, avoiding interference to the formation of induced current caused by position deviation or structural interference, and improving the structural and functional reliability.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the first assembly portion 1211 includes a limiting wall 1211a facing the rotating member 11, and a supporting wall 1211b extending from the limiting wall 1211a towards the rotating member 11. Limiting protrusions 1211c are respectively provided at one end of the supporting wall 1211b away from the limiting wall 1211a and at one end of the limiting wall 1211a away from the supporting wall 1211b. By forming the limiting wall 1211a and the supporting wall 1211b in two directions, the limiting and fixing of the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15 is realized, improving the structural fixing reliability. In addition, the use of the limiting protrusions 1211c can also simplify the limiting structure and avoid affecting the electromagnetic induction effect due to excessive coating of the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15.

[0047] The above rotating member 11 may include an outer surface 112 and an inner surface 113 disposed opposite to the outer surface 112. The second assembly portion 111 includes a recess provided on the inner surface 113 to accommodate part of the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15 structure, reducing the space occupied by the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15.

[0048] Among them, the rotating member 11 may include an arc-shaped outer surface 112 to match the appearance of the main body structure 12 and obtain a smooth appearance surface. The recess provided on the rotating member 11 may include a bottom surface 1111 inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the rotating member 11, so that the distance between the bottom surface 1111 of the recess and the outer surface 112 is substantially the same, which helps to increase the structural strength of the rotating member 11 and avoid excessive depth of the recess at a thinner part of the rotating member 11 resulting in structural damage. In addition, in order to improve the assembly stability of the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15, the magnetic member 14 or the induction coil 15 may include an inclined surface matching the inclination angle of the bottom surface 1111 of the recess.

[0049] Figure 4 It is a schematic perspective view of a charging case 1 in another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figures 2 - 4As shown, the main body structure 12 includes a base 121 and a cover 122, and the base 121 and the cover 122 enclose a charging bin 123. The rotating member 11 is movably assembled to the base 121 and / or the cover 122 to achieve relative rotational movement through the cooperation between the rotating member 11 and the base 121 and / or the cover 122.

[0050] In some embodiments, the base 121 may be provided with a first assembly portion 1211 and a third assembly portion 1212. The first assembly portion 1211 is disposed around the third assembly portion 1212. The third assembly portion 1212 and the cover 122 enclose the charging bin 123. A second assembly portion 111 is provided on one side of the rotating member 11 facing the main body structure 12. One of the magnetic member 14 and the induction coil 15 is mounted on the first assembly portion 1211, and the other is mounted on the second assembly portion 111. The first assembly portion 1211 and the second assembly portion 111 are corresponding in position and are the basis of an electromagnetic induction structure without other structural partitions in space, avoiding interference to the formation of induced current caused by position deviation or structural interference, and improving the structural and functional reliability. The first assembly portion 1211 is disposed around the third assembly portion 1212, avoiding interference of the charging bin 123 and the terminal device 2 assembled in the charging bin 123 to the electromagnetic induction effect.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the magnetic member 14 may be an annular magnet, and the coil includes an annular coil. The central axes of the annular magnet and the annular coil are respectively parallel or coincident with the rotation axis of the rotating member 11, so as to match the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 through the annular magnet and the annular coil, which helps to optimize the spatial layout and improve the electromagnetic induction effect at the same time.

[0052] In some embodiments, in the rotation axis direction of the rotating member 11, the induction coil 15 includes a first end portion 152 and a second end portion 151 which are oppositely arranged. The first end portion 152 protrudes from the magnetic member 14, and at least a part of the magnetic member 14 protrudes from the second end portion 151. Through the staggered distribution of the induction coil 15 and the magnetic member 14 in the rotation axis direction of the rotating member 11, the induction coil 15 can efficiently cut the magnetic force lines of the magnetic member 14 during the relative rotation of the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12, improving the power storage efficiency.

[0053] It should be noted that the above power storage module may include a current collecting unit and a power supply unit which are conductively connected, so as to collect the current in the induction coil 15 through the current collecting unit and charge the terminal device 2 through the power supply unit.

[0054] The present disclosure further provides an electronic device 3, and the electronic device 3 includes: a terminal device 2 and the above charging box 1. The terminal device 2 can be received in the charging bin 123 in the charging box 1 for storage and charging, and the terminal device 2 can also be taken out from the charging box 1 for use.

[0055] Since the above charging case 1 is provided with a rotating member 11, the rotating member 11 and the main body structure 12 of the charging case 1 can perform relative rotational movement under a stressed state, and the user can apply force to the rotating member 11 or the main body structure 12 when using the charging case 1 to obtain a fun stress relief function similar to that of a fingertip gyro. In addition, one of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11 is provided with a magnetic member 14, and the other is provided with an induction coil 15. By using the induction coil 15 to cut the magnetic field lines of the magnetic member 14 during the relative rotational movement of the main body structure 12 and the rotating member 11, an electric current can be generated. After the above electric current is collected, it can be used to increase the battery life of the charging case 1 and the electronic device 3 using the above charging case 1.

[0056] It should be noted that the above terminal device 2 can be a wearable device such as a headset, a smart badge, a wearable camera, etc., or a mobile phone, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a medical terminal, etc. The present disclosure does not limit this.
