Abstract
Description
Portable charging module with continuous power supply OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable charging module with continuous power supply designed to overcome limitations in conventional charging devices. It is an innovative solution that improves mobility, electrical safety, and power availability in domestic, outdoor, or portable environments, providing technical advantages not previously known in the prior art. TECHNICAL SECTOR The present invention falls within the electricity sector, specifically in the technical field, within the subfield related to the production, distribution, storage, conversion and supply of electrical energy, especially in circuits or systems for the supply or distribution of electrical energy and systems for the storage of electrical energy, specifically in constant current supply systems without interruption, as well as in portable electrical energy storage systems and even in circuits or systems for wireless supply or distribution of electrical energy. STATE OF THE ART In the current state of technology, users of portable electronic devices, especially in the home environment, face functional limitations when using these devices while connected to a power source. This limitation is largely due to the short length of conventional charging cables, which restricts mobility and negatively impacts convenience and usability during everyday use. Furthermore, existing solutions in the form of external batteries or portable power sources have a significant drawback: their operation depends on a prior charge. This condition prevents their immediate availability in unforeseen situations, compromising both their effectiveness and their actual usefulness in times of need. Based on these shortcomings identified in current solutions, the present invention proposes a portable charging module with continuous power supply that offers a substantial improvement. This system allows for continuous power from the conventional electrical grid while simultaneously charging an internal battery that can be used as an independent power source when needed. In this way, the need to provide a separate charging point for an auxiliary device is eliminated, while preserving the functionality of the main power outlet, thus preventing the loss of a power supply point. To date, there is no evidence of the existence on the market or in known technical documents of a portable charging module with continuous power supply that incorporates the structural, technical and functional characteristics described in this document, as set out in the attached claims. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to create a portable charging module with continuous power supply that represents a substantial innovation within the field of portable power supply systems, by effectively resolving the limitations detected in the state of the art, the characterizing details that make this possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description. The module that is the subject of the invention consists of a portable battery that incorporates, in an integrated manner (without an intervening cable), a male plug for connection to an electrical outlet, at least one female plug that allows for continuous power supply to an external device, and at least one additional output port, which can be of different types (for example, a male or female socket, or an inductive system). The battery is designed to operate in dual mode, both connected to and disconnected from the electrical grid, guaranteeing power supply in both cases. Through this configuration, the invention provides a technical solution that allows for a portable power source to be readily available at all times, without the need to check for prior charging and without sacrificing access to a conventional power outlet during operation. This significantly improves energy availability and user autonomy in home or work environments. This solution is useful for maintaining the autonomy of electronic devices during their daily use, optimizing the use of space and improving energy efficiency in a practical, continuous and convenient way for the user. This invention relates to a battery that may comprise a casing housing a rechargeable accumulator. This casing may have a prismatic configuration and dimensions compatible with standard power outlets, facilitating its installation and connection, as well as its easy handling and portability in various environments, including domestic, outdoor, or portable settings. In this context, the casing can be made from durable, lightweight, and non-conductive materials, such as high-strength plastics, insulating metals, or composite materials. This choice of materials would contribute to improving the device's mechanical durability, ensuring optimal electrical safety, and facilitating portability, without affecting its functionality or compromising its performance. On the other hand, the male plug can be located on the back of the battery and internally connected to the rechargeable battery, allowing for automatic recharging when connected to the mains. This ensures that the system remains charged and ready for immediate use. In addition, it can also incorporate an internal battery charging control system, configured to interrupt the battery charging when it reaches one hundred percent of its capacity (or a lower predefined, safety value), redirecting the incoming current directly to the female socket, avoiding unnecessary charging cycles. Additionally, the design incorporates one, or optionally, several female sockets on the accessible faces of the module, allowing other electrical devices to be connected and powered, even when the system is connected to the mains electricity supply, without interrupting its operation or the internal charging process of the battery. Similarly, the device may include at least one output port on one of the visible sides of the casing, such as USB, USB-C, or others. This integration would allow for the simultaneous charging of electronic devices using compatible cables, expanding the system's functionality and versatility in everyday situations. Additionally, the casing could incorporate a visual indicator that displays the battery's charge level. This feature would provide the user with a clear, real-time reference on the amount of available energy, thus facilitating efficient device management. Conveniently, this internal external battery charging control system can include an automated mechanism that reactivates the battery charging when its level drops below a defined or configurable threshold, allowing the system's autonomy to be preserved and reducing energy consumption in case of low usage. Likewise, the male plug and the female plug can be manufactured in different versions, so that the pins of the male plug are configured to fit different international or national power socket standards, and the contacts of the female plug are compatible with those standards. This arrangement allows the portable charging module with continuous power supply to be directly connected to electrical infrastructures in multiple countries without requiring additional adapters, thus promoting its functionality in diverse geographical contexts. Finally, the female plug may incorporate a cover designed to protect the contacts when the plug is not in use, helping to prevent the entry of foreign particles during transport and providing an additional safety measure against possible accidental tampering. This cover can act as a protective element both in mobile conditions, for example when the module is carried in a pocket, and in situations where it is desired to limit access to the plug contacts for safety reasons, especially in the presence of children. To use the portable charging module with continuous power supply, the user must connect it to a power outlet and, once charged, use it to power or recharge other devices, without interrupting the operation of the main power source.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION. The portable charging module with continuous power supply, the subject of this invention, comprises at least one portable battery (1) that integrates a male plug (2) arranged for connection to a power outlet. It also includes at least one female plug (3) that allows continuous current flow to external devices, as well as at least one output port (4). The battery (1) is designed to be operational both when connected to and disconnected from the electrical grid, allowing its use as a power source in both states. The output port can be USB, USB-C, or any other type of output port compatible with conventional electronic devices. In a preferred embodiment, the battery (1) comprises a housing (1.1) that contains a rechargeable accumulator, said housing (1.1) being prismatic in shape and designed with dimensions suitable for connection to standard power outlets. This configuration facilitates handling and transport of the device, optimizing the user experience and improving its versatility both at home and in outdoor environments. Preferably, the housing (1.1) is made of a durable, lightweight, and non-conductive material, such as high-strength plastic, insulating metal, or composite materials. This ensures adequate durability and ease of transport, while also guaranteeing the electrical safety of the device without compromising its structural functionality. This choice of materials allows the module to be robust and suitable for prolonged use, while maintaining a manageable weight. In another preferred configuration, the male plug (2) is located on the back of the battery (1) and connected to the rechargeable battery, allowing for automatic recharging when connected to the mains electricity supply. This arrangement ensures that the battery (1) is constantly charged and ready for use without the need for additional manual intervention, providing convenience to the user. In another preferred embodiment, the female socket (3) is arranged on one of the accessible faces of the battery (1), allowing the connection of electrical devices both when the male socket (2) is connected to the mains power supply and when it is disconnected. This arrangement allows the module to function as a DC power outlet, ensuring power availability at all times. Furthermore, when the male socket (2) is connected, this configuration allows the battery to be recharged without interrupting the power flow to the external device, ensuring a continuous supply even during battery recharging, without interrupting the use of the socket. Typically, the output port (4) is located on one of the accessible sides of the battery (1), allowing the simultaneous connection of one or more electronic devices using compatible cables. This arrangement facilitates the charging of multiple devices, improving efficiency and user convenience, and optimizing module usage by enabling the simultaneous power supply to several devices. Typically, the casing (1.1) incorporates a visual charge indicator (1.2) that displays the battery's charge status. This indicator allows the user to know the amount of charge remaining in real time, providing the necessary information to optimally manage battery charging and ensure its availability when needed. In another embodiment, the housing (1.1) incorporates an internal external battery charging control system that prevents overcharging of the battery once it reaches 100% capacity. This prevents overcharging the battery when it is not in regular use, thus maintaining greater autonomy for the external battery. In other words, once the battery is fully charged, the electricity flows directly to the power outlet without passing through the external battery, avoiding unnecessary charging cycles and extending the system's lifespan. In another preferred embodiment, the male plug (2) and the female plug (3) can be manufactured in different versions, in which the pins of the male plug (2) are adapted to different international or national power socket standards, and the contacts of the female plug (3) are compatible with these standards, allowing direct connection to electrical infrastructures in multiple countries. This configuration facilitates the use of the module in diverse geographical environments, eliminating the need for additional external adapters and increasing the versatility of the system. Preferably, the female socket (3) may incorporate a cover (5), configured to cover the contacts when not in use, in order to prevent the entry of foreign particles during transport and provide an additional safety measure against accidental tampering. This cover (5) can help preserve the integrity of the female socket (3) under mobile conditions, such as when the module is carried in a pocket or bag, and can also act as passive protection in environments where there is a risk of unintentional contact, especially in the presence of children. Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as its preferred embodiment, it is deemed unnecessary to provide a more extensive explanation so that any person skilled in the art may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it. It is noted that, within its essential characteristics, it may be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and these will equally attain the protection sought, provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed, or modified. It is also noted that this invention may be subject to multiple variations in its form, materials, or arrangement of components, without this implying a deviation from its essential principle, and such variations will be included within the scope of protection claimed.
