[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given.

[0030] The present invention provides a charger, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the charger includes a charger body 1 and a support base 2. The charger body 1 is provided with a charging port 11 and a plug 12. A circuit board 13 is provided inside the charger body 1, and the charging port 11 is electrically connected to the circuit board 13. The plug 12 is mounted on the charger body 1. The support base 2 is provided with a socket 21, into which the plug 12 is removably inserted. The bottom of the support base 2 is provided with a receiving groove 22 corresponding to the socket 21. When the plug 12 is inserted into the socket 21, the end of the plug 12 is accommodated in the receiving groove 22.

[0031] The charger of this utility model is provided with a receiving groove 22 at the bottom of the support base 2 corresponding to the socket 21. When the plug 12 is inserted into the socket 21, the end of the plug 12 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 22. This design fully utilizes the thickness of the bottom of the support base 2 to provide space for the plug 12, thereby reducing the overall height of the charger when stored. The overall height is relatively small, and it is less likely to cause the problem of tilting due to unstable center of gravity.

[0032] Specifically, the plug 12 can be detachably inserted into the socket 21, that is, the support base 2 can be mounted on the plug 12 and can also be removed from the plug 12. When the charger is not in use, the entire charger can be placed on the desktop through the support base 2 for storage. When the charger needs to be used, the support base 2 is removed from the plug 12. When the charger is not in use, the support base 2 is mounted on the plug 12 to prevent the plug 12 from external wear and collision, thereby increasing the service life of the charger. At the same time, since the plug 12 is fixed to the charger body 1, compared to a charger in which the plug 12 can be rotatably stored, the plug 12 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 13 with a simpler electrical connection structure, and the requirements for the electrical connection structure are lower. At the same time, the support base 2 can be used to protect the plug 12 and store the charger.

[0033] More specifically, the charger of the present invention is a UK standard charger, and its plug 12 is a UK standard plug.

[0034] Charging port 11 is used to connect a data cable to charge the charging device. It can be a Type-C port or a USB-A port. Circuit board 13 is the charger's charging control board, responsible for current conversion, distribution, and control. Conventional technology can be used and will not be detailed here.

[0035] Specifically, regarding the specific implementation of the accommodating groove 22, in one embodiment, the accommodating groove 22 is a groove that does not penetrate the bottom of the support base 2. When the plug 12 is inserted into the socket 21, its end is accommodated in the groove, which can also take advantage of the thickness of the bottom of the support base 2 and reduce the overall height of the charger when it is stored. In another embodiment, the accommodating groove 22 is a through groove that penetrates the bottom of the support base 2. The through groove is a through hole that penetrates the bottom of the support base 2. This can more fully utilize the thickness of the bottom of the support base 2 without affecting the use of the support base 2.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 8As shown, in the support base 2, a clamping edge 23 extending toward the socket 21 is provided on the circumference of the accommodating groove 22, and the plug 12 is inserted into the clamping edge 23. A clamping edge 23 extending toward the socket 21 is provided on the circumference of the accommodating groove 22 in the support base 2. When the plug 12 is inserted into the accommodating groove 22 and contacts the clamping edge 23, the clamping edge 23 can clamp the plug 12 to prevent the charger body 1 from shaking, and the storage placement is more stable. Specifically, a first inclined surface 231 is provided on the inner wall surface of the opening 141 of the clamping edge 23, and the first inclined surface 231 is inclined outward on the side close to the socket 21; a clamping protrusion 232 extending along the circumference of the plug 12 is provided on the side close to the accommodating groove 22; the clamping protrusion 232 clamps the plug 12. The inner wall surface of the opening 141 of the clamping edge 23 is provided with a first inclined surface 231. The outwardly inclined design of the first inclined surface 231 near the socket 21 facilitates smooth insertion of the plug 12, making it easier for the plug 12 to fit into the clamping edge 23 and reducing any resistance encountered during insertion. Furthermore, a clamping protrusion 232 extending along the circumference of the plug 12 is provided on the side of the first inclined surface 231 near the receiving groove 22 to firmly clamp the plug 12 and ensure its stability.

[0037] Specifically, regarding the specific implementation of the clamping edge 23, in one embodiment, the clamping edge 23 is disposed around the circumference of the receiving groove 22. This arrangement of the clamping edge 23 around the circumference of the receiving groove 22 provides all-around clamping. In another embodiment, two clamping edges 23 are provided, with the two clamping edges 23 being disposed opposite each other. With the two clamping edges 23 disposed opposite each other, the plug 12 can be more easily inserted into the two clamping edges 23.

[0038] like Figure 9 As shown, a cavity 24 is formed within the support base 2 at the socket 21. The walls of the cavity 24 are spaced around the socket 21 and are provided with a plurality of first ribs 25 extending toward the clamping edge 23. The first ribs 25 serve as guides, preventing the plug 12 from shifting when inserted into the socket 21, ensuring direct insertion into the clamping edge 23. Furthermore, the first ribs 25 enhance the structural strength of the socket 21, preventing damage to the plug 12 caused by frequent insertion and removal.

[0039] Specifically, there are two plugs 12, two support bases 2, and the two support bases 2 are connected; the two plugs 12 are detachably inserted into the sockets 21 of the two support bases 2 respectively; inside the two support bases 2, a first magnet 26 is installed at the connection between the two support bases 2. The first magnet 26 can magnetically attract the support base 2 to a metal that can be magnetically attracted or a placement surface with a magnet, thereby increasing the choice of placement position and improving the stability of the charger when it is stored. In addition, since the first magnet 26 is arranged on the support base 2, it can also act as a counterweight. Even if it is placed on an ordinary desktop, it can stabilize the center of gravity and prevent the charger from tipping over when it is stored.

[0040] Furthermore, the charging port 11 can be located on the end of the charger body 1 away from the plug 12 to facilitate data cable connection. Specifically, the charger body 1 is equipped with a decorative interface strip 14. One end of the decorative interface strip 14 is mounted on the side of the charger body 1 and extends from the end where the charging port 11 is located to the other side of the charger body 1. The decorative interface strip 14 has an opening 141 corresponding to the charging port 11, and gripping grooves 142 are provided on both ends of the surface of the decorative interface strip 14. The decorative interface strip 14 serves to decorate the charger body 1, while the gripping grooves 142 facilitate the user's insertion and removal of the charger body 1.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, mounting grooves 15 are provided on the end of the charger body 1 where the charging port 11 is located, as well as on two opposing sides of the charger body 1, corresponding to the interface decorative strip 14. The interface decorative strip 14 is installed in these grooves. The grooves 15 limit the interface decorative strip 14, enhancing its secure installation. Mounting posts 143 and buckles 144 are provided at each end of the interface decorative strip 14. Mounting holes 17 and buckle holes 18 are provided in the mounting grooves 15 for the posts 143 and buckle 144, respectively, to facilitate installation of the interface decorative strip 14.

[0042] Furthermore, a display screen 16 is installed on the charger body 1. The display screen 16 is electrically connected to the circuit board 13. The display screen 16 is used to display status information of the charger.

[0043] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
