Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, in particular to a power supply plug structure and a pet electronic device. Background Art

[0002] At present, pet electronic devices such as pet drinking fountains, pet feeders, pet toilets, and pet nests require external power supply to function normally, and generally, a cable is connected to an external power socket from the side of the pet electronic device.

[0003] In order to facilitate the storage of cables and the replacement of cables of different lengths, plug-in charging cables are generally used for power supply. However, when pets are playing, the charging cables are easily pulled out by the pets, causing the pet electronic devices to lose power, resulting in a poor experience for the pets and pet owners. In particular, naughty and active pets may knock over pet electronic devices. For example, the liquid in the pet water dispenser or pet feeder flows to the charging cable interface due to the collision of the pet. If there is liquid in the charging cable interface, there is a risk of leakage when the charging cable is plugged into the charging cable interface, which is a potential safety hazard and will also accelerate the aging of pet electronic devices.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0029] The utility model provides a power supply plug structure for connecting an external power source with a pet electronic device 10, so as to supply power to a pet electronic device 10 without a battery, or to supply power or charge a pet electronic device 10 with a battery.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5A power supply plug structure of an embodiment of the utility model is used to connect an external power supply to a pet electronic device 10, including a power supply interface 1 and a power supply connection line 2. The power supply interface 1 is arranged at the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 and the power supply interface 1 faces the horizontal plane; the power supply connection line 2 includes a plug 21, a cable 22 and a power connector 23 which are electrically connected in sequence. The plug 21 is used to adapt to the power supply interface 1 and is plugged with the power supply interface 1 to achieve electrical connection. The power connector 23 is used to electrically connect to an external power supply. The plugging direction of the plug 21 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 are at an angle of 80°-100°; the plug 21 is a USB Type-C plug and the power supply interface 1 is a USB Type-C interface.

[0031] Specifically, compared with the prior art, since the power supply interface 1 is at the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 and is arranged facing the horizontal plane, it is not easy for the pet to contact the power supply interface 1; if the pet collides with the pet electronic device 10, the liquid in the pet electronic device 10 will flow to the side along the direction of gravity, and will not easily flow to the power supply interface 1 at the bottom; even if there are liquids such as water droplets on the power supply interface 1, since the power supply interface 1 faces the horizontal plane when the pet electronic device 10 is placed on the horizontal plane, the water droplets will flow to the horizontal plane along the direction of gravity, and will not easily remain in the power supply interface 1, thereby improving the moisture-proof performance of the power supply interface 1 to reduce safety hazards. The angle between the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 is 80°-100°, that is, the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is at a certain angle to the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22, so that the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is not in the same direction as the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22. Therefore, the force direction of pulling the cable 22 is not in the same direction as the plugging direction of the plug 21. If the pet accidentally pulls the cable 22, it is not easy to disconnect the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1, that is, it is not easy to disconnect the power supply plug structure, and the pet electronic device 10 is not easy to be powered off. Therefore, the power supply plug structure not only improves the connection reliability between the external power supply and the pet electronic device 10, but also has certain moisture-proof and safety performance.

[0032] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 The horizontal plane can be the ground, a desktop, or other surfaces for placing the pet electronic device 10 according to different usage environments.

[0033] It can be understood that the cable 22 includes a conductor and a protective layer covering the surface of the conductor, and the protective layer can be an insulating plastic layer; the protective layer can also be a braided layer. Compared with the insulating plastic layer, the braided layer improves the strength of the protective conductor and is not easily bitten by pets to avoid exposure of the covered conductor; at the same time, the braided layer provides better visual and tactile effects through a unique braided texture.

[0034] It can be understood that the power connector 23 can be a power plug 21 directly connected to an external power socket, or the power connector 23 can include a power adapter and a USB connector, and the electrical connection between the power connector 23 and the external power socket is achieved through the connection between the USB connector and the power adapter.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 , the angle between the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 is R, and R is 80°-100°, so that the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is at a certain angle to the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22, that is, the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is not in the same direction as the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22. Specifically, when the angle between the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 is 80°-100°, it is easy for the cable 22 to extend from the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 to the outside of the pet electronic device 10, and it is convenient for the power connector 23 connected to the cable 22 to be electrically connected to the external power supply.

[0036] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the power supply interface 1 is vertically oriented toward the horizontal plane, and the angle between the plug-in direction of the plug 21 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 is 90°. That is, the plug-in direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is at right angles to the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22, and the force of pulling the cable 22 will not be vector-decomposed in the plug-in direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1, that is, the force of pulling the cable 22 and the force of plugging the plug 21 in the power supply interface 1 do not affect each other, so even if the pet accidentally pulls the cable 22, it only causes the pet electronic device 10 to move, and does not cause the pet electronic device 10 to be powered off.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the power supply plug structure of the embodiment of the utility model, the power supply connection line 2 also includes a plug protective cover 24, which is sleeved on the plug 21 and exposes the plug-in portion of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1. It can be understood that when the plug 21 is plugged into the power supply interface 1, if the plug is plugged too hard, it will cause wear to the plug 21. Putting the plug protective cover 24 on the plug 21 can protect the plug 21 from damage when it is plugged hard, thereby increasing the service life of the plug 21 and extending the service life of the power supply connection line 2. In at least one embodiment, the plug protective cover 24 is made of silicone material.

[0038] Reference Figure 5In the power supply plug structure of the embodiment of the utility model, the plug protective cover 24 includes a protective portion 241 and a connecting portion 242 connected in sequence, the protective portion 241 is sleeved on the plug 21 and exposes the plug-in portion of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1, and the connecting portion 242 is provided with a through hole, and the cable 22 is inserted into the through hole. It can be understood that the cable 22 is inserted into the through hole of the connecting portion 242 of the plug protective cover 24 to prevent the protective portion 241 of the plug protective cover 24 from falling off and being lost.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the plug 21 is a USB Type-C plug and the power supply interface 1 is a USB Type-C interface; in at least one embodiment of the present invention, the plug 21 is a Micro USB plug and the power supply interface 1 is a Micro USB interface; in at least one embodiment of the present invention, the plug 21 is a DC plug and the power supply interface 1 is a DC interface. It can be understood that different plugs 21 and power supply interfaces 1 can be configured according to different usage scenarios, but the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 need to be adapted to ensure electrical connection, so as to realize power supply to the pet electronic device 10.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4A pet electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a housing 101, a power structure 102 and a power supply plug structure in the above embodiment. The power structure 102 is arranged inside the housing 101, and a power supply interface 1 of the plug structure is connected to the power structure 102 and exposed on the surface of the housing 101. The power supply interface 1 is arranged at the bottom of the housing 101 and the power supply interface 1 faces the horizontal plane. Specifically, the power supply plug structure is connected to the power structure 102 to connect an external power source to the pet electronic device 10 to supply power to the pet electronic device 10. Since the power supply interface 1 is at the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 and is arranged facing the horizontal plane, it is not easy for the pet to contact the power supply interface 1; if the pet collides with the pet electronic device 10, the liquid in the pet electronic device 10 flows to the side along the direction of gravity and is not easy to flow to the power supply interface 1 at the bottom; even if there are liquids such as water droplets in the power supply interface 1, since the power supply interface 1 is arranged facing the horizontal plane, the water droplets will also flow to the horizontal plane along the direction of gravity and are not easy to remain in the power supply interface 1, thereby improving the moisture-proof performance of the power supply interface 1 to reduce safety hazards. Furthermore, the angle between the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22 is 80°-100°, that is, the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is at a certain angle to the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22, so that the plugging direction of the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1 is not in the same direction as the connection direction of the plug 21 and the cable 22. Therefore, the force direction of pulling the cable 22 is not in the same direction as the plugging direction of the plug 21. If the pet accidentally pulls the cable 22, it is not easy to disconnect the plug 21 and the power supply interface 1, that is, it is not easy to disconnect the power supply plug structure, so the pet electronic device 10 is not easy to be powered off.

[0041] In at least one embodiment, the power structure 102 is a circuit board, and power is supplied to the circuit board through the power plug structure so that the circuit board controls the operation of the pet electronic device 10 .

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the pet electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, a receiving groove 1011 is provided at the bottom of the housing 101, and the power supply interface 1 is provided on the inner surface of the receiving groove 1011. When the plug 21 is plugged into the power supply interface 1, the receiving groove 1011 is used to receive the plug 21 so that the plug 21 does not contact the horizontal plane. It can be understood that the receiving groove 1011 receives the plug 21 so that the plug 21 does not contact the horizontal plane, reduces the friction between the plug 21 and the horizontal plane, and improves the service life of the plug 21, thereby extending the service life of the power supply connection line 2.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In the pet electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, a wire groove 1012 is further provided at the bottom of the housing 101, and the wire groove 1012 is communicated with the receiving groove 1011. When the plug 21 is plugged into the power supply interface 1, the wire groove 1012 is used to receive the cable 22. Specifically, the wire groove 1012 receives the cable 22, thereby reducing the friction between the cable and the horizontal surface, and at the same time, the cable has a storage function, and the cable is led out from the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 to the outside in a standardized manner, thereby avoiding contact with other components at the bottom of the pet electronic device 10 and causing entanglement.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the utility model, a wire groove 1012 and a stopper 1013 are further provided at the bottom of the housing 101. The wire groove 1012 is connected to the receiving groove 1011. The stopper 1013 is arranged at intervals in the wire groove 1012. When the plug 21 is plugged into the power supply interface 1, the stopper 1013 positions the cable 22 in the wire groove 1012. Specifically, the setting of the stopper 1013 facilitates lifting the pet electronic device 10, and the cable is not easy to fall from the wire groove 1012. More preferably, a plurality of wire grooves 1012 are provided at the bottom of the housing 101, and the plurality of wire grooves 1012 are connected to the receiving groove 1011, and each wire groove 1012 is arranged in a different direction. By arranging the wire grooves 1012 in different directions, it is convenient for the user to select the wire groove 1012 in the direction closer to the position where the external power supply is connected, without moving the pet electronic device 10.

[0045] It is understandable that the pet electronic device 10 can be a pet water dispenser, a pet feeder, a pet toilet, or a pet nest. In other embodiments, it can also be configured as a pet electronic device 10 with other electronic functions according to different usage scenarios.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
