DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] A lithium battery charger with power-off function, such as Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, it includes a shell 1, a connection line 2, a charging line 3, a power adapter 4, a sensing mechanism and a disconnection mechanism. The power adapter 4 is installed in the shell 1. The power adapter 4 is provided with connection terminals 31 at the right rear side and the left front side. The connection lines 2 are respectively plugged into the rear connection terminals 31, and the charging lines 3 are plugged into the front connection terminals. The power adapter 4 is provided with a sensing mechanism, and the sensing mechanism is used to sense the temperature of the power adapter 4. A disconnection mechanism is provided between the shell 1 and the sensing mechanism, and the disconnection mechanism can control the connection line 2 and the charging line 3 to be disconnected from the connection terminals 31 when the sensing mechanism senses a high temperature.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sensing mechanism includes a sliding plate 51, a pushing plate 511, an elastic member 52, a connecting plate 53 and a temperature fuse 54. The sliding plate 51 is slidably connected to the top of the power adapter 4, and the sliding plate 51 can slide up and down along the power adapter 4. An elastic member 52 is connected between the sliding plate 51 and the top of the power adapter 4, and the elastic member 52 is a pressure spring. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the sliding plate 51 are connected to the pushing plates 511, and the pushing plates 511 are L-shaped. The front and rear sides of the power adapter 4 are connected to the connecting plates 53, and a temperature fuse 54 is connected between the connecting plate 53 and the pushing plate 511, and the temperature fuse 54 pulls the pushing plate 511.

[0030] like Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, the disconnection mechanism includes a limit block 61, a connecting ring 62, an extension block 621, a guide rail 63, a sliding ring 64, an elastic member 65 and a locking block 66. The ends of the connection line 2 and the charging line 3 connected to the power adapter 4 are connected to the connecting ring 62, and the front and rear sides of the connecting ring 62 are connected to the extension blocks 621, and the two extension blocks 621 are respectively slidably connected to the connection end 31. The front and rear sides of the connection end 31 of the power adapter 4 are connected to the limit block 61, and the front and rear sides of the housing 1 are connected to two guide rails 63, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the connection end 31. The guide rail 63 is slidably connected to the sliding ring 64, and the sliding ring 64 is slidably connected to the sliding ring The locking block 66 is dynamically connected, and the locking block 66 is slidably connected to the extension block 621. The locking block 66 can only slide up and down on the sliding ring 64 and the extension block 621. When the connection line 2 and the charging line 3 are connected to the connection end 31, the extension block 621 contacts the limit block 61. At this time, the locking block 66 can be covered between the extension block 621 and the limit block 61, so that the charging line 3 and the connection line 2 are both fixed to the connection end 31. An elastic member 65 is connected between the sliding ring 64 and the guide rail 63, and the elastic member 65 is a reset spring. The locking block 66 is located at the moving track of the push plate 511, so that the movement of the push plate 511 can push the locking block 66 to move.

[0031] The sliding plate 51 , the pushing plate 511 and the connecting plate 53 are all made of copper and have strong thermal conductivity.

[0032] When the lithium battery charger is needed, the charger can be used for charging. In the initial state, the temperature fuse 54 pulls the push plate 511, the elastic member 1 52 is in a compressed state, and the locking block 66 also clamps the extension block 621 and the limit block 61, so that the locking block 66 is clamped by the limit block 61, and the elastic member 2 65 is also in a compressed state. When in use, the connecting wire 2 is connected to the power socket, and then the charging wire 3 is connected to the position of the lithium battery of the electric vehicle. After the operation is completed, the current will be charged into the lithium battery from the connecting wire 2, the power adapter 4 and the charging wire 3 in sequence. During use, if the power adapter 4 heats up due to high external temperature or short circuit, the heat can be conducted to the temperature fuse 54 through the sliding plate 51, the pushing plate 511 and the connecting plate 53. If the temperature is too high and exceeds the threshold of the temperature fuse 54, the temperature fuse 54 is blown, and the pushing plate 511 loses its The pulling force of the temperature fuse 54 resets the elastic member 1 52, thereby pushing the sliding plate 51 to move upward, and the sliding plate 51 moves upward to drive the pushing plate 511 to move upward. The pushing plate 511 moves upward and can contact the locking block 66 and push the locking block 66 to move upward. When the locking block 66 moves upward to disengage from the limit block 61, the sliding ring 64 is pushed to move in the direction away from the power adapter 4 under the action of the elastic member 2 65. The sliding ring 64 can drive the locking block 66 to move when moving, and the locking block 66 pulls the extension block 621 to move together when moving. The extension block 621 drives the connecting ring 62 to move when moving. The connecting rings 62 on both sides can respectively pull the connecting wire 2 and the charging wire 3 to separate from the connecting end 31 when moving, thereby cutting off the power of the entire device. In this way, the power can be automatically cut off when using the lithium battery charger for charging, thereby avoiding combustion and fire caused by overheating.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a limiting column 11. Four limiting columns 11 are connected to the front and rear sides of the shell 1. The four limiting columns 11 are in a rectangular array. The interface positions of the connecting wire 2 and the charging wire 3 are respectively slidably connected to the limiting columns 11 on the front and rear sides. The limiting columns 11 can limit the interface positions of the connecting wire 2 and the charging wire 3 to prevent the connecting wire 2 and the charging wire 3 from being detached and lost.

[0034] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of heat dissipation openings are evenly spaced apart in the middle of both the front and rear sides of the shell 1 for heat dissipation of the power adapter 4 inside the shell 1 .

[0035] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, a closing mechanism is also included, and the closing mechanism includes a control motor 71, a closing plate 72 and a humidity sensor 73. The control motor 71 is installed on both the front and rear sides of the power adapter 4, and the middle parts of the front and rear sides of the shell 1 are rotatably connected with the closing plate 72. The closing plate 72 can close the heat dissipation port by rotating. The closing plate 72 is located outside the shell 1 and is installed with a humidity sensor 73. The power adapter 4 is provided with a controller, and the humidity sensor 73 and the control motor 71 are electrically connected to the adapter. The control motor 71 is connected to the closing plate 72 in the middle so that the control motor 71 can control the closing plate 72 to rotate.

[0036] When the lithium battery is charged, heat can be dissipated through the heat dissipation holes on both sides of the shell 1. If the humidity is high due to rain, fog or the like, the humidity sensor 73 can sense it and send a signal to the internal controller to drive the motor 71 to rotate, thereby driving the closing plate 72 to rotate and close the heat dissipation hole, thereby preventing water mist from entering the components inside the power adapter 4 through the heat dissipation hole and causing a short circuit in the equipment.

[0037] like Fig.10 As shown, a mini fire extinguisher ball 8 is also included. The mini fire extinguisher ball 8 is installed on the top of the shell 1. When the fire temperature of the power adapter 4 is high, the mini fire extinguisher ball 8 senses the high temperature and can spray out the dry powder inside it, thereby extinguishing the fire of the power adapter 4.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
