The embodiments described in the embodiments are intended to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0046] Reference in this specification to "one embodiment," "an example," or "an example" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself can be included in at least one embodiment of the present patent disclosure. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Example

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a splicable outdoor device, including a power module 1 and a functional module 2.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, the power module 1 includes a first housing, a plug assembly, a control circuit board 14, and a signal generating circuit disposed on the control circuit board 14. The signal generating circuit employs a commonly used signal generating circuit in the art and is not limited here. The first housing includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 13, which are fixedly connected by screws. The control circuit board 14 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower housings 11, 13 by screws. The energy storage module 12 for storing electrical energy is clamped between the upper and lower housings 11, 13. The energy storage module 12 is connected to the control circuit board 14 via wires, and the control circuit board 14 controls the charging and discharging of the energy storage module 12. The power module 1 has a Type-C port 145 and / or a USB port 144. Either port can be used as a charging port, while the other port can be used as a discharging port to meet diverse charging and discharging requirements. The Type-C port 145 and / or the USB port 144 are disposed on the control circuit board 14.

[0049] The plug assembly includes a first conductor, an adapter 15 disposed on the first housing, and a second conductor fixed to the adapter 15. In this embodiment, the first conductor is preferably an elastic element, and at least three are provided. In this embodiment, three are preferably provided, namely, a first conductor 142, a first conductor 143, and a first conductor 144. The first conductors 142 and 143 are connected to the positive and negative poles of the control circuit board 14, and the first conductor 144 is connected to the signal generating circuit of the control circuit board 14. In the present invention, the connection between the first conductor and the control circuit includes both a mechanical connection and an electrical connection.

The adapter 15 is an insulator, and the second conductor and the adapter 15 can be fixed by interference fit or bonding, etc., which are not limited here. In this embodiment, three second conductors are arranged side by side. Axles 151 are provided at both ends of the adapter 15. The first housing has a groove, and corresponding positions of the groove's sidewalls have rotational holes 116. Axles 151 are inserted into these holes, allowing the adapter 15 to pivotally connect to the groove's sidewalls. Furthermore, guide slots 112 are provided on the lower housing 13 for guiding the first conductors.

[0050] Functional module 2 includes any one or more combinations of household appliance module, automobile auxiliary module and outdoor equipment module, such as Figures 7 to 11As shown, the functional module 2 includes a functional body 21, a second housing 24, an interface assembly, a functional circuit board 22, and a signal detection circuit disposed on the functional circuit board 22. The functional circuit board 22 is fixed between the functional body 21 and the second housing 24. The signal detection circuit uses a commonly used signal detection circuit in the art, which is not limited here. The functional body 21 is used to implement functions such as household appliances, automotive auxiliary equipment, and outdoor lighting. The functional body 21 is designed with a power supply port, which can be connected to an external power source to power the functional circuit board 22 for normal operation. The interface assembly includes a conductive member connected to the functional circuit board 22 and a guide post 242 disposed in the second housing 24. The conductive member includes a third conductor and a fourth conductor 23. The third conductor is preferably an elastic element, and the fourth conductor 23 is preferably a metal sphere. The conductive member extends into the guide post 242. Specifically, the fourth conductor 23 is located within the guide post 242. The third conductor extends into the guide post 242, with one end connected to the functional circuit board 22 and the other end abutting the fourth conductor 23. In the present invention, the connection between the third conductor and the functional circuit includes both a mechanical connection and an electrical connection. The number of conductive parts corresponds to the number of second conductors. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three third conductors, namely, third conductor 221, third conductor 222, and third conductor 223. There are also three fourth conductors 23. There are also three guide posts 242, corresponding to the number of conductive parts. In this embodiment, the adapter 15 and the fourth conductor 23 of the metal sphere both use a transition design with elastic elements at the top and bottom. This ensures that the conductive parts can still maintain good contact under manufacturing and assembly tolerances, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0051] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the side of the first shell 24 that contacts the second shell 24 is provided with magnetic grooves. In this embodiment, there are four magnetic grooves, namely magnetic groove 111, magnetic groove 113, magnetic groove 114, and magnetic groove 115, located at the four vertices of the first shell. Magnets are located in each of the four magnetic grooves, and the four magnets and the four magnetic grooves are located on the inside of the first shell. Magnetic grooves are also provided on the side of the second shell 24 that contacts the first shell, namely magnetic groove 241, magnetic groove 243, magnetic groove 244, and magnetic groove 245, located at the four vertices of the second shell 24, and correspond one-to-one to the positions of the magnetic grooves and magnets of the first shell. Magnets are also provided in the four magnetic grooves, and the four magnets and the four magnetic grooves are located on the inside of the second shell 24. Using a magnetic connection, the different positions and polarities of the magnets can be arranged to prevent misassembly.

[0052] The splicable outdoor equipment provided in this embodiment has a splicing power supply state, a splicing non-power supply state, and a split state:

[0053] like Figure 13As shown, the adapter 15 is flipped to a position where the second conductor is substantially perpendicular to the contact surface of the first shell and the second shell 24, so that the second conductor fixed to the adapter 15 extends out of the groove and is higher than the contact surface of the first shell and the second shell 24. Figure 14 As shown, the second conductor fixed to the adapter 15 is parallel to the first conductor on the control circuit board 14, and the first conductor is firmly against the second conductor. At this time, the electrical signal on the first conductor can be transmitted to the second conductor. Figure 15 and 16 As shown, the power module 1 and the functional module 2 are mechanically connected. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mechanical connection is achieved through magnetic attraction. The first conductor, the second conductor, and the third and fourth conductors 23 forming the conductive member are electrically connected to each other, thereby electrically connecting the plug assembly and the interface assembly. In this embodiment, there are three first conductors, three second conductors, and three conductive members. After connection, the path formed by the first conductor 142, the second conductor 152, and the third conductor 221, and the path formed by the first conductor 143, the second conductor 153, and the third conductor 222 serve as a power supply circuit; the path formed by the first conductor 143, the second conductor 153, and the third conductor 222, and the first conductor 144, the second conductor 154, and the third conductor 223 serve as a signal detection circuit. In other embodiments, the number of first conductors, second conductors, and conductive members can each be greater than three. For example, the number of first conductors, second conductors, and conductive members can each be four, with two of the paths serving as power supply circuits and the other two serving as signal detection circuits. When the plug assembly and the interface assembly are electrically connected and the electrical signal generated by the signal generating circuit matches the electrical signal detected by the signal detecting circuit, the power module 1 supplies power to the functional module 2, and the spliced outdoor equipment enters the spliced power supply state. In the spliced power supply state, a variety of detection signals can be set, and the detection signals of different functional modules 2 correspond to different control programs on the control board of the power module 1, such as power-on duration, power-on interval and frequency, so as to realize automatic switching of different power supply models for different modules. The control program involved can adopt the control program disclosed in the prior art, which will not be repeated here. If the signal detection circuit of the power module 1 cannot detect the corresponding electrical signal, the control circuit board 14 of the power module 1 determines that there is no load at this time, and the control board circuit board controls the interface assembly and the plug assembly to cut off the power to prevent the second conductor from being accidentally short-circuited when exposed, causing a safety accident.

[0054] like Figure 17 As shown, the adapter 15 is turned over, so that the second conductor fixed to the adapter 15 falls back into the groove and is lower than the contact surface between the first shell and the second shell 24. Figure 18As shown, the first conductor and the second conductor are separated by an adapter 15 made of an insulating material. At this time, the electrical signal on the first conductor cannot be transmitted to the second conductor. The adapter 15 is physically isolated from the first conductor to further protect the safety of use. If the power module 1 and the functional module 2 are still mechanically connected, and the plug assembly is not connected to the interface assembly, the power module 1 does not supply power to the functional module 2, and the spliced outdoor device enters a spliced non-powered state. Alternatively, the power module 1 and the functional module 2 are mechanically connected, the plug assembly is electrically connected to the interface assembly, and the electrical signal generated by the signal generating circuit does not match the electrical signal detected by the signal detection circuit, then the power module 1 does not supply power to the functional module 2, and the spliced outdoor device is still in a spliced non-powered state to ensure safety in use.

[0055] In the separated state, the power module 1 and the functional module 2 are not mechanically connected.

[0056] The splicable outdoor equipment provided by this embodiment, the power module 1 and the functional module 2 can adopt a unified appearance design, and no external wire connection is required, so that the power supply structure is simple. At the same time, the functional modules 2 with different functions can be equipped with only one power supply or the same functional module 2 can be equipped with multiple power supplies, which not only meets the diverse functional requirements, but also meets the long-term endurance requirements, and achieves good portability. At the same time, the splicable outdoor equipment provided by the present invention controls the power supply state through three working modes: splicing power supply state, splicing non-power supply state and split state, and clearly defines the connection method of the power module 1 and the functional module 2 and the matching of the electrical signal. Under the premise of detecting signal mismatch, the power module 1 does not output power to the functional module 2. Under the premise of ensuring safe use, the power supply management of the equipment is more accurate and flexible, meeting the needs of different scenarios, such as entering the splicing power supply state when power is needed, and entering the splicing non-power supply state or split state when power is not needed, so as to save energy or facilitate portability. Example

[0057] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the functional module 2 and the power module 1 are mechanically connected using a snap-fit mechanism. Specifically, a snap lock and a slot are provided on the side where the first housing contacts the second housing 24, and on the side where the second housing 24 contacts the first housing, respectively. The snap lock and slot are located on the outside of the first and second housings 24. When the functional module 2 and the power module 1 need to be connected, they are mechanically connected using the snap lock and slot.

[0058] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention are included within the scope of the claims.
