[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the power switching device 11 is plugged into the cavity 14 and electrically connected to the first energy unit and the second energy unit through positive and negative electrodes, and the power switching device 11 has adjustable first and second positions, and when the power switching device 11 switches between the first position and the second position, the series-parallel forms of the first energy unit and the second energy unit can be switched so that the power storage system 10 outputs two different voltages.
[0043] The power switching device 11 includes a housing 111, a plug-in unit housed in the housing 111, and a power switching component 113 that is adjustably connected to the plug-in unit. The housing 111 is provided with a receiving space (not labeled) for housing the plug-in unit and the power switching component 113.

The output terminal 1123 has a positive output 1123a and a negative output 1123b. The output terminal 1123 is respectively connected to the first plug 1121 and the second plug 1122. That is, the positive terminal 1121a in the first plug 1121 or the positive terminal 1122a in the second plug 1122 is electrically connected to the positive output 1123a in the output terminal 1123, and the negative terminal 1121b in the first plug 1121 or the negative terminal 1122b in the second plug 1122 is electrically connected to the negative output 1123b in the output terminal 1123, so as to ensure that the power supply device connected to the first plug 1121 and the second plug 1122 completes power output through the output terminal 1123.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positive electrodes 12a, 13a, the negative electrodes 12b, 13b, the positive terminals 1121a, 1122a, and the negative terminals 1121b, 1122b are arranged in a line and inserted correspondingly one by one, and the electrodes / terminals with opposite polarities are arranged alternately. Furthermore, the output terminal 1123 is arranged substantially parallel to the first plug 1121 and the second plug 1122, and is respectively arranged on different side walls of the housing 111; to facilitate the connection between the first plug 1121, the second plug 1122, and the output terminal 1123.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 and combine with Figure 4As shown, the power switching component 113 includes a switching member 114 and a control member 115. In the present invention, the switching member 114 is used to electrically connect the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122 and can switch the coupling form of the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122. Specifically, the switching member 114 is housed in the housing 111, and the housing 111 is provided with a rail / slide groove structure (not shown) for housing the switching member 114. The switching member 114 is slidably connected in the rail / slide groove structure and can move along the rail / slide groove structure between a first position and a second position under the action of the control member 115, and further adjust the coupling form of the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the switching member 114 includes a first switching member 1142 and a second switching member 1143 connected by an elastic member 1141. Further, the first switching member 1142 has a first connection terminal 1144 and a protrusion (not labeled) for connecting the elastic member 1141. The first connection terminal 1144 has a first connection portion 1144a for connecting the first plug-in 1121 and / or the second plug-in 1122 and a second connection portion 1144b extending toward the second switching member 1143 for connecting the second switching member 1143.
[0048] The second switching member 1143 has a structure substantially the same as that of the first switching member 1142, that is, the second switching member 1143 has a second connection terminal 1145 and a protrusion (not labeled) disposed toward the first switching member 1142, and the second connection terminal 1145 also has a third connection portion 1145a for connecting the first plug-in 1121 and / or the second plug-in 1122 and a fourth connection portion 1145b extending toward the first switching member 1142 for connecting the first switching member 1142. Preferably, both the first connection terminal 1144 and the second connection terminal 1145 are integrally formed and are in an "L" shape and respectively cover the outer walls of the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143.
[0049] Specifically, the elastic member 1141 is connected between the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 through a protrusion. Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, when the elastic member 1141 is in the natural elongation state, the switching member 114 is in the first position; when the switching member 114 is in the first position, the first connecting portion 1144a of the first connecting terminal 1144 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1121a and 1122a in the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122, so that the positive electrodes 12a and 13a in the first energy unit and the second energy unit are electrically connected; the negative terminals 21b and 22b in the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122 are electrically connected through the third connecting portion 1145a of the second switching member 1143, so that the negative electrodes 12b and 13b in the first energy unit and the second energy unit are electrically connected; and at this time, the second connecting portion 1144b and the fourth connecting portion 1145b are separated (as Figure 3 shown).
[0050] Furthermore, the positive output 1123a in the output terminal 1123 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1121a or the positive terminal 1122a through an electrical connection structure such as a wire; the negative output 1123b is electrically connected to the negative terminal 1121b or the negative terminal 1122b through an electrical connection structure such as a wire; so that the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in parallel, and a low voltage (i.e., nV) output is realized through the output terminal 1123 (as Figure 8 , Figure 9 shown).
[0051] Please refer to Figure 10 and combine with Figure 6 shown. When the elastic member 1141 is in the compressed state under the control of the control member 115, the switching member 114 is in the second position. Then, when the switching member 114 is in the second position, the second connecting portion 1144b in the first switching member 1142 is connected to the fourth connecting portion 1145b in the second switching member 1143, so that the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are connected as a conductive whole through the second connecting portion 1144b and the fourth connecting portion 1145b. Two terminals with opposite polarities and adjacent settings in the first plug-in 1121 and the second plug-in 1122 are electrically connected through the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143. That is, at this time, the first connecting portion 1144a is separated from the positive terminal 1121a in the first plug-in 1121, the third connecting portion 1145a is separated from the negative terminal 1122b in the second plug-in 1122, and the adjacent negative terminal 1121b and the positive terminal 1122a are electrically connected through the combination of the first connecting portion 1144a, the third connecting portion 1145a, the second connecting portion 1144b and the fourth connecting portion 1145b.
[0052] Further, the positive output 1123a in the output terminal 1123 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1121a through an electrical connection structure such as a wire; the negative output 1123b is electrically connected to the negative terminal 1122b through an electrical connection structure such as a wire; so that the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in series, and a high voltage (i.e., 2nV) output is achieved through the output terminal 1123 (as Figure 11 , Figure 12 shown).
[0053] The control member 115 is used to drive the switching member 114 to move in the rail / slider structure, so that the switching member 114 can be switched between the first position and the second position. In the present invention, the control member 115 includes a switching button 116, a return button 117, and a return shaft 118 for connecting the switching button 116 and the return button 117.
[0054] Specifically, the switching button 116 is used to control the sliding of the switching member 114 between the first position and the second position, and has an initial position corresponding to the first position and a switching position corresponding to the second position. Further, the switching button 116 includes a pressing part and a switching part 1161 connected to the pressing part. The pressing part penetrates through the housing 111 to drive the switching part 1161 to move between the initial position and the switching position under the pressing action.
[0055] The switching part 1161 extends outward along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the pressing part. In the present invention, the switching part 1161 has two clamping walls 1162 extending toward the switching member 114 and arranged in parallel, and the distance between the two clamping walls 1162 is smaller than the length of the switching member 114 at the first position.
[0056] When the switching button 116 is in the initial position, both clamping walls 1162 are located above the switching member 114, and the switching member 114 is in the first position; when the switching button 116 moves to the switching position under the pressing action, the switching member 114 is clamped between the two clamping walls 1162, and the switching member 114 is in the second position.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 13 and combine with Figure 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inclined guide surface 1163 facing the switching member 114 is provided at each end of each clamping wall 1162, and the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are provided with abutting surfaces 1146 corresponding to the inclined guide surface 1163; with such a setting, when the switching button 116 is pressed and moved from the initial position to the switching position, the clamping wall 1162 can slide along the inclined guide surface 1163 and the two side walls where the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are away from each other under the cooperation of the inclined guide surface 1163 and the abutting surface 1146 and be clamped on both sides in the length direction of the switching member 114.
[0058] Furthermore, limiting structures 1147 are provided on both side walls of the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 that face away from each other, and the clamping wall 1162 is provided with positioning structures 1164 corresponding to the limiting structures 1147; with such a setting, when the switching button 116 moves to the switching position, the separation of the switching button 116 from the switching member 114 can be effectively prevented, ensuring the stability of the clamping between the switching button 116 and the switching member 114. Preferably, the limiting structure is a limiting groove, and the positioning structure 1164 is a positioning protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove.
[0059] The return button 117 penetrates through the housing 111 to control the switching button 116 to return from the switching position to the initial position through the return rotation shaft 118 under the pressing action. Further, a part of the return rotation shaft 118 is received in the receiving space of the housing 111, including a positioning shaft rotatably fixed in the housing 111 and a first fin and a second fin extending radially outward from the positioning shaft and located on the same plane, and the switching button 116 is provided with a first abutting groove corresponding to the first fin, and the return button 117 is provided with a second abutting groove corresponding to the second fin.
[0060] Specifically, when the switching button 116 is in the initial position, the return rotation shaft 118 is in a freely rotatable state, and the return button 117 can move up and down along its extending direction; and at this time, the switching member 114 is in the first position, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in parallel, and the electrical energy storage system 10 can achieve low-voltage output.
[0061] When the switching button 116 moves from the initial position to the switching position, the first abutting groove drives the first fin to rotate about the positioning shaft, so that the second fin abuts against the second abutting groove to drive the return button 117 and the switching button 116 to move in opposite directions. When the switching button 116 is positioned at the switching position, the switching portion 1161 of the switching button 116 is clamped at both ends of the switching member 114 in the length direction, and the positioning structure 1164 on the clamping wall 1162 is clamped with the limiting structure on the switching member 114 to limit the switching position of the switching button 116 and move the switching component 321 from the first position to the second position; the return button 117 is clamped and positioned between the housing 111 and the end of the second fin. At this time, the switching member 114 is in the second position, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in series, and the electrical energy storage system 10 can achieve high-voltage output.
[0062] Further, when it is necessary to control the switching button 116 to return to the initial position, the return button 117 is pressed. The return button 117 drives the second fin and the first fin to rotate about the positioning shaft through the second abutting groove. The first fin drives the switching button 116 to move from the switching position to the initial position, so that the limiting structure is separated from the positioning structure, and the switching portion 1161 is disengaged from the end of the switching member 114, further causing the switching member 114 to return from the second position to the first position, completing the switching of the coupling state of the electrical energy switching component 113 to the first plug 1121 and the second plug 1122.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 14 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the electrical energy storage system 10' according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the electrical energy storage system 10' has substantially the same structure as the electrical energy storage system 10, and the difference is only that: the positive electrodes 12a', 13a' and the negative electrodes 12b', 13b' in the first energy unit and the second energy unit are arranged in an up-and-down arrangement.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 15 As shown, which is a schematic structural diagram of the electrical energy storage system 10'' according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the electrical energy storage system 10'' has substantially the same structure as the electrical energy storage system 10 and the electrical energy storage system 10', and the difference is only that: the positive electrodes 12a'', 13a'' and the negative electrodes 12b'', 13b'' in the first energy unit and the second energy unit are all arranged front and back along the insertion direction of the electrical energy switching devices 11, 11' and the energy unit, and the negative electrodes 12b'', 13b'' are parallel to the positive electrodes 12a'', 13a''.
[0065] Further, in the second and third embodiments, the arrangement form of the plugs in the power switching devices 11 and 11' can be adjusted according to the arrangement form of the positive and negative electrodes in the first energy unit and the second energy unit, as long as it is ensured that when the power switching devices 11 and 11' are in the first position, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in parallel, and when the power switching devices 11 and 11' are in the second position, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in series. That is, the arrangement form of the plugs in the power switching devices 11 and 11' can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and no limitation is imposed herein.
[0066] The present invention also provides a power tool (not shown). The power tool includes a tool body and a power switching device 11 for electrically connecting the tool body and a power supply device.
[0067] In the present invention, the tool body has a plug portion for connecting the power switching device 11, and two connection pieces with opposite polarities are respectively connected to the positive output 1123a and the negative output 1123b with the same polarity in the output terminal 1123 of the power switching device 11 to ensure the normal input of the working voltage.
[0068] In the present invention, if the rated voltage of the power tool is nV, then the power tool can be connected to different power supply devices with energy units having an output voltage of n / 2V or nV through the power switching device 11.
[0069] Specifically, the power tool can be connected to a dual-voltage power supply device or a single-voltage power supply device having two energy units with an output voltage of n / 2V. And in this embodiment, each energy unit with an output voltage of n / 2V has two output electrodes with opposite polarities.
[0070] Further, when the power tool is electrically connected to the dual-voltage power supply device / single-voltage power supply device through the power switching device 11, the power switching device 11 is respectively electrically connected to the output electrodes of the two energy units with an output voltage of n / 2V through the positive terminal 21a and the negative terminal 21b in the first plug 1121 and the positive terminal 1122a and the negative terminal 1122b in the second plug 1122.
