[0028] The present utility model provides the following description with reference to the drawings to help a comprehensive understanding of various embodiments of the present utility model as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to assist in understanding, but these details should be regarded as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, the directional descriptions involved, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0030] It should be understood that when an element (e.g., the first element) is "connected" to another element (e.g., the second element), the element can be directly connected to the other element, or there can be an intermediate element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0031] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a battery box with a charging interface, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, which includes a box body 100 and a cover body 200 that is movably provided on the box body 100. The box body 100 has a plurality of battery compartments 110 for accommodating batteries. One or more battery compartments 110 can be provided, usually two battery compartments 110 are configured, and one battery can be placed in each battery compartment 110. The battery compartment 110 forms an opening on the top surface of the box body for taking and placing the battery, that is, the user puts the battery into the battery compartment 110 or takes out the battery in the battery compartment 110 through this opening.

[0032] A charging interface 120 is further provided on the surface of the box body 100. The charging interface 120, the charging circuit, and the battery in the battery compartment 110 can be electrically connected in sequence. When the charging interface 120 is connected to an external power source, the battery in the battery compartment 110 can be charged to extend the battery life. Of course, the charging interface 120 can also be connected to other electrical devices. When the charging interface 120 is connected to an external power source, it can supply power to other electrical devices so that other electrical devices can be powered on and work.

[0033] Since the cover body 200 can be opened and closed relative to the box body 100, when the cover body 200 is closed, the cover body 200 seals the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120, isolating and protecting the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120, which can reduce the entry of dust, play a certain dust-proof role, avoid damage to the charging interface 120 during use, and is not easily short-circuited due to external interference, improving the safety of use. When the cover body 200 is opened, the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120 are exposed, and the charging interface 120 can be normally used.

[0034] In some embodiments, the charging interface 120 is located on the top surface of the box body 100. Therefore, both the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120 form openings on the top surface of the box body 100, making the distribution of the openings more compact. The cover body 200 can seal the openings of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120 by covering the top surface of the box body 100, the volume of the cover body 200 can be smaller, and the sealing effect of the cover body 200 is more stable.

[0035] In other embodiments, the charging interface 120 is located on the side surface or the bottom surface of the box body 100. The cover body 200 includes a first cover body part and a second cover body part. The first cover body part is used to seal the battery compartment 110 on the top surface of the box body 100, and the second cover body part is used to seal the charging interface 120 on the side surface or the bottom surface of the box body 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, the battery box with a charging interface further includes a wire 121 and a connector 122. One end of the wire 121 is connected to the charging interface 120, and the other end is connected to the connector 122. When wiring is required, the connector 122 can be docked with a socket, interface, or other connector that matches it to save the wiring process and facilitate the connection of the circuit.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connector 122 can be a terminal connector or other connector.

[0038] In some embodiments, a lock 300 is provided on the cover 200. The lock 300 has a locked state and an unlocked state. A positioning structure adapted to the lock 300 is provided on the box body 100. When the cover 200 is closed, if the lock 300 is in the locked state, the lock 300 is locked and cooperated with the positioning structure to limit the opening of the cover 200. The cover 200 can then maintain the state of covering the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120 and will not be opened randomly, and the battery in the battery compartment 110 will not fall out randomly. If the lock 300 is in the unlocked state, the lock 300 is disengaged from the positioning structure, and the cover 200 can be freely opened or closed.

[0039] In some embodiments, the lock 300 includes a lock rod 310 located inside the cover 200 and rotatable relative to the cover 200, and a limiting rod 320 provided on the side of the lock rod 310. The positioning structure includes a sleeve 400 provided on the top surface of the box body 100. The sleeve 400 is provided with a jack 410 into which the lock rod 310 can be inserted, and the inner wall of the jack 410 is provided with a limiting groove 420 into which the limiting rod 320 can be inserted. The lock rod 310 realizes the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state by rotating relative to the cover 200.

[0040] After the lock rod 310 is inserted into the jack 410 and the limiting rod 320 is inserted into the limiting groove 420, if the limiting rod 320 rotates to be misaligned with the limiting groove 420, the limiting rod 320 cannot be withdrawn from the sleeve 400 through the limiting groove 420, and the lock rod 310 remains inserted into the jack 410. The lock 300 is then locked and cooperated with the positioning structure to limit the opening of the cover 200. If the limiting rod 320 rotates to be aligned with the limiting groove 420, the lock rod 310 can be removed from the jack 410, the lock 300 is disengaged from the positioning structure, and the cover 200 can be freely opened or closed.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cover 200 is provided with a through hole. The lock rod 310 is inserted through the through hole and can rotate in the through hole. A rotating head 330 is provided on the outer side of the cover 200, and the lock rod 310 is connected to the rotating head 330. The user can rotate the lock rod 310 by operating the rotating head 330, thereby switching the lock 300 between the locked state and the unlocked state, which is more convenient to operate.

[0042] In some embodiments, one end of the cover 200 is rotatably connected to the box body 100, and the cover 200 rotates relative to the box body 100 to open and close. Thus, the cover 200 is not easily lost after being opened, and the rotational connection restricts the position of the cover 200 covering the box body 100, enabling the cover 200 to accurately cover the box body 100.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the cover 200 is detachably fixed to the box body 100. When it is fixed to the box body 100, it seals the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120. When it is detached from the box body 100, the opening of the battery compartment 110 and the charging interface 120 are opened.

[0044] In some embodiments, the charging interface 120 is a Type-C interface, which is very common, and a charger with a Type-C interface can be used to supply power to the charging interface 120. Of course, the charging interface 120 can also be selected from other interfaces such as a Micro-USB interface, an Apple Lightning interface, a DC power input interface, etc.

[0045] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a gas water heater, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, including a gas water heater main body 500 and the battery box with a charging interface in any of the above embodiments. For the specific description of the battery box with a charging interface, reference can be made to the above embodiments, and details will not be repeated here. The box body 100 is fixed to the gas water heater main body 500.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cover 200 can be exposed outside the gas water heater main body 500 to facilitate opening or closing the cover 200. The box body 100 can be fixed to the bottom of the gas water heater main body 500.

[0047] In some embodiments, the gas water heater main body 500 includes electrical appliances and a power converter 510, and the charging interface 120, the power converter 510, and the electrical appliances are connected in sequence. When the charging interface 120 is connected to the power supply, the power converter 510 converts the input power into the power required by the electrical appliances to ensure the stable operation of the electrical appliances. For example, the power converter 510 steps down, steps up, or stabilizes the input power. Correspondingly, the power converter 510 includes, but is not limited to, a step-down module, a step-up module, and a voltage stabilization module.

[0048] The electrical appliances are the devices in the gas water heater main body 500 that require electricity, such as a circuit board, an ignition controller 520, a lighting lamp, a speaker, etc.
