[0033] In the prior art, mobile power supplies can generally only be used to power or charge electronic devices, and cannot provide users with more convenient functions (such as cigarette lighting). However, mobile power supplies with cigarette lighting functions on the market, such as the patent with application number 202022023018.7, have an exposed cigarette lighter port. It is easy to accidentally touch the heating switch and activate the cigarette lighting function while carrying the mobile power supply. The heating wire heats up quickly and may ignite combustibles near the cigarette lighter port in a short period of time, resulting in certain safety hazards during the use of the mobile power supply.

[0034] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the cigarette lighter port of the mobile power supply is exposed and there is a safety hazard, the present application provides a mobile power supply with a battery cell and a cigarette lighter function, which can avoid the safety hazard caused by accidentally touching the switch and ensure the safe use of the mobile power supply.

[0036] It should be noted that the elastic switch 42 is a normally open switch, that is, it is in a closed state under normal conditions. When in use, press and hold the switch cap 5, and slide the switch cap 5 in a direction away from the cigarette lighter port 31 until the elastic switch 42 is changed to an open state under the pressure of the slider 51, and the heating control circuit is turned on, so that the heating element 41 heats up and reaches the cigarette lighting temperature. At this time, the cigarette lighter port 31 is exposed, which is convenient for users to use. When the cigarette lighting function is not needed, the switch cap 5 covers the cigarette lighter port 31 to make the cigarette lighter port 31 in a closed state, avoiding the safety hazards caused by accidentally touching the switch, and ensuring the safety of the mobile power supply. This mobile power supply can not only supply power to external devices, but also realize the cigarette lighting function, while improving the safety of the use process.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic switch 42 includes a contact piece 421 and a spring piece 422. The spring piece 422 and the contact piece 421 are located on the same side of the heating main board 4. One end of the spring piece 422 is connected to the heating main board 4, and the other end is suspended. The orthographic projection of the suspended part of the spring piece 422 on the heating main board 4 at least partially covers the contact piece 421. Figure 4 As shown, when in use, the slider 51 moves along with the switch cap 5 toward the direction close to the spring sheet 422 , and the spring sheet 422 is in contact with the contact sheet 421 under the squeezing force of the slider 51 , so that the heating control circuit is turned on.

[0038] Furthermore, the suspended portion of the spring sheet 422 is tilted relative to the heat generating mainboard 4, and the orthographic projection of the slider 51 on the longitudinal center plane 8 at least partially covers the orthographic projection of the spring sheet 422 on the longitudinal center plane 8. The slider 51 can abut against the spring sheet 422 during the sliding process and exert pressure on the spring sheet 422, so that the suspended portion of the spring sheet 422 moves toward the direction close to the contact sheet 421.

[0039] Furthermore, a first slide groove 32 is provided on the support plate 3, and one end of the slider 51 close to the support plate 3 passes through the first slide groove 32 and is provided with a hook 511, so that the slider 51 maintains smoothness during sliding, and the slider 51 is not easy to disengage from the first slide groove 32.
