Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of charging accessories for electronic devices, and in particular to a charging device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology in recent years, electronic devices have become one of the indispensable devices in modern people's lives. For example, people often carry mobile phones, tablets, cameras and other electronic devices with them when traveling, and the use of the functions of these electronic devices depends on sufficient power. Charging devices, as an accessory for charging electronic devices, have gradually become an essential item in people's work and life. Users even carry charging devices with them when they go out to achieve the purpose of charging their electronic devices at any time. Existing charging devices are generally equipped with a retractable data cable. In order to facilitate the storage of the data cable plug when not in use, it is generally processed on the housing of the charging device, such as injection molding a storage slot. However, since the shell is generally a two-dimensional plate structure, the injection molding of a three-dimensional groove structure and perforation structure on the shell requires a complex mold structure design, resulting in a complex injection molding process. In particular, when the extension direction of the portion where the groove structure is located is at an angle to the length direction of the shell, the shell, the groove structure, or the connection between the two is prone to deformation during the mold opening and demolding process, resulting in a low yield of the finished product, a certain degree of processing difficulty, and increased processing costs. In addition, since the groove structure needs to accommodate the plug of the data cable, the volume and groove depth are relatively large, and the groove structure processed on the inner side of the shell will cause the shell to be more obviously uneven, which is easy to be damaged during transportation or installation due to the unevenness of the shell.

In particular, when describing "a certain element", the present application does not limit the number of the element to one, but may also include multiple elements.

[0027] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present application provides a charging device 10 that can be used to charge electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. The charging device 10 includes a main body 12 and a storage portion 14. The main body 12 includes a retractable and movable charging connector 16. The storage portion 14 is used to store the charging connector 16. The storage portion 14 and the main body 12 are separately arranged and connected to each other. The present application divides the outer shell of the charging device 10 into a storage portion 14 for storing the charging connector 16 and a main body 12 for installing other components, so that the storage portion 14 and the main body 12 are relatively independent, simplifying the component structure and reducing the difficulty of injection molding processing. The two parts can be independently processed and then assembled and connected, reducing the component damage rate.

[0028] Specifically, the main body 12 includes a mounting portion 20 and a mounting port 18 provided on the mounting portion 20. The mounting portion 20 is, for example, provided around the mounting port 18, and the mounting portion 20 corresponds to the receiving portion 14. The receiving portion 14 is installed in the mounting portion 20 via the mounting port 18. Preferably, the mounting portion 20 is provided at one end in the length direction of the main body 12. The mounting portion 20 is, for example, a component of the main body 12. For example, the main body 12 includes a main body and a mounting portion 20. The mounting portion 20 is connected to one end of the main body, and the mounting portion 20 and the main body are an integrally formed structure. The mounting port 18 is provided at the end of the mounting portion 20, that is, the mounting port 18 is provided at the end of the mounting portion 20 away from one end of the main body, or in other words, the mounting port 18 is opened at one end in the length direction of the main body 12, and the mounting portion 20 is correspondingly provided around the periphery of the mounting port 18. Optionally, the mounting portion 20 is surrounded to form an installation space 22 , and an outer end of the installation space 22 forms the installation port 18 , and the receiving portion 14 is installed in the installation space 22 through the installation port 18 .

[0029] The receiving portion 14 is at least partially located within the mounting space 22. That is, when the receiving portion 14 is installed within the mounting space 22, the receiving portion 14 can be entirely installed within the mounting space 22. In this case, the outer end surface of the receiving portion 14 can be set to be flush with the outer end surface of the mounting portion 20, or the outer end surface of the receiving portion 14 can be lower than the outer end surface of the mounting portion 20. Alternatively, the receiving portion 14 can be partially located within the mounting space 22, with the other portion protruding outside the mounting port 18. The mounting port 18 is provided at one end of the main body 12, so that the end of the main body 12 located at the mounting port 18 does not need to have an end wall structure, thereby simplifying the injection molding process and injection molding structure.

[0030] Preferably, the dimension of the mounting portion 20 at the end away from the mounting port 18 is larger than the dimension of the mounting portion 20 at the end adjacent to the mounting port 18. This dimension can be understood as the diameter of the mounting portion 20 at corresponding locations along its extension, away from the mounting port 18 and at both ends of the mounting port 18, or the cross-sectional area of the mounting portion 20 along its extension, away from the mounting port 18 and at both ends of the mounting port 18. For example, the cross-sectional area of the mounting portion 20 along its extension gradually decreases toward the mounting port 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting portion 20 is designed as a gradually tapering arc-shaped structure, making the charging device 10 compact and smaller in size, giving the user a visually smaller perception of size.

[0031] In this embodiment, the storage portion 14 is a box-shaped structure with one end open. Specifically, the storage portion 14 includes a base 24 and side portions 26 connected to the periphery of the base 24. The base 24 and the side portions 26 enclose a storage space 28 for storing the charging connector 16. The storage space 28 is located on the side of the storage portion 14 away from the main body 12, so that the storage space 28 is connected to the outside. The charging connector 16 can be stored in the storage space 28 when not in use. When the charging connector 16 is needed, it can be directly taken out of the storage space 28.

[0032] Preferably, the charging connector 16 and the storage portion 14 can be engaged with each other by means of snaps or magnets, so that the charging connector 16 can be snapped or magnetically fixed in the storage space 28, thereby increasing the stability of the charging connector 16 when in the storage state and preventing the charging connector 16 from accidentally falling out. In this embodiment, the charging connector 16 and the storage portion 14 are magnetically engaged. Specifically, a first magnetic member (not shown) is provided on the storage portion 14. The first magnetic member is, for example, provided on the side of the base 24 facing away from the storage space 28. A fixing groove 25 can be provided in the middle of the side of the base 24 facing away from the storage space 28. The first magnetic member can be fixedly placed in the fixing groove 25 by means of bonding, interlocking, etc.; a second magnetic member (not shown) is provided on the charging connector 16. The second magnetic member is, for example, provided inside the side wall of the charging connector 16. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnetically engaged.

[0033] The storage portion 14 and the mounting portion 20 can be detachably connected by means of snap fastening or screw fastening, so as to facilitate disassembly and maintenance. For example, a first connecting portion is provided on the outer wall of the storage portion 14, and a second connecting portion is provided on the inner wall of the mounting portion 20, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are detachably connected. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are snap-fitted. Specifically, the first connecting portion includes a first snap-fitting portion 30, which is provided on the outer wall of the storage portion 14, and the second connecting portion includes a protrusion 32 and a second snap-fitting portion 34 provided on the protrusion 32. The protrusion 32 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting portion 20, and the protrusion 32 is, for example, provided perpendicular to the inner wall of the mounting portion 20, and the first snap-fitting portion 30 and the second snap-fitting portion 34 are snap-fitted. For example, the first engaging portion 30 is a buckle protruding from the outer wall of the receiving portion 14. The buckle is located at the junction of the base 24 and the side portion 26. Two buckles are provided, one on each side of the base 24 in the width direction. The protrusion 32 is located on the bottom side of the receiving portion 14. The second engaging portion 34 is a slot provided on the protrusion 32. When the receiving portion 14 is installed in the installation space 22, the buckle engages in the slot, achieving a snap-fit fixation between the receiving portion 14 and the main body 12. Moreover, when the first engaging portion 30 and the second engaging portion 34 are snap-fitted, the receiving portion 14 is supported on the protrusion 32, that is, the protrusion 32 can play a supporting role.

[0034] In order to increase the structural strength of the protrusion 32 so that it can better support the storage portion 14, in this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 36 are provided between the protrusion 32 and the mounting portion 20. The reinforcing ribs 36 connected between the protrusion 32 and the mounting portion 20 can increase the structural stability of the protrusion 32, thereby increasing the stability of the storage portion 14.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, a retaining structure is provided between the storage portion 14 and the mounting portion 20. This retaining structure not only further strengthens the connection between the storage portion 14 and the mounting portion 20, preventing the storage portion 14 from shaking, but also restricts the installation direction of the storage portion 14, preventing the storage portion 14 from being installed upside down. Specifically, the retaining structure includes a first recessed portion 38 and a first protruding portion 40 provided on the outer sidewall of the storage portion 14, and a second protruding portion 42 and a second recessed portion 44 provided on the inner sidewall of the mounting portion 20. The first recessed portion 38 and the second protruding portion 42 form a concave-convex fit, while the first protruding portion 40 and the second recessed portion 44 form a concave-convex fit. Both the first recessed portion 38 and the first protruding portion 40 are provided on the outer surface of the side portion 26. Preferably, the first recessed portion 38 and the first protruding portion 40 are staggered in the circumferential direction of the receiving portion 14. For example, the first recessed portion 38 and the first protruding portion 40 are located on opposite sides of the receiving portion 14 in the width direction, and the first recessed portion 38 and the first protruding portion 40 are staggered in the height direction of the receiving portion 14. The second protruding portion 42 and the second recessed portion 44 are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the first recessed portion 38 and the first protruding portion 40. The first protruding portion 40 and the second protruding portion 42 are both convex structures, and the first recessed portion 38 and the second recessed portion 44 are both groove structures.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the charging device 10 further includes a circuit board 46, a charging cable 48, a hub 50, and a power supply 52. The main body 12 forms a cavity, and the circuit board 46, hub 50, and power supply 52 are all installed within the cavity. The charging cable 48 and power supply 52 are each electrically connected to the circuit board 46. The installation space 22 communicates with the cavity; from another perspective, the installation space 22 constitutes a portion of the cavity. The hub 50 and circuit board 46 are both located on the side of the cavity near the receiving portion 14, while the power supply 52 is located on the side of the cavity away from the receiving portion 14. The hub 50 is fixedly connected to the circuit board 46, for example, by screws, and the hub 50 and circuit board 46 are arranged in the thickness direction of the main body 12. The power supply 52, along with the hub 50 and circuit board 46, is arranged in the length direction of the main body 12. The circuit board 46 is fixedly connected to the main body 12. For example, a fixing post 54 is provided on the inner wall of the main body 12, and a fixing hole 56 is correspondingly provided on the circuit board 46. The circuit board 46 is screwed through the fixing hole 56 and is threadedly connected to the fixing post 54. The power supply 52 is, for example, clamped in the cavity. A positioning post 58 is also provided on the inner wall of the main body 12, and a positioning hole 60 is correspondingly provided on the circuit board 46. The positioning post 58 is positioned and matched with the positioning hole 60 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the circuit board 46. Preferably, a mounting rail 62 is also provided on the inner wall of the main body 12, and a guide groove 64 is correspondingly provided on the hub 50.
