[0046] An embodiment of the present application provides a cigarette lighter assembly for connecting to an energy storage device. The energy storage device can be connected to an external electrical device through the cigarette lighter in the cigarette lighter assembly, thereby supplying power to the electrical device. For example, the electrical device can include household appliances, medical equipment, office equipment, or various electronic devices.

[0047] The cigarette lighter assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 , shows an exploded schematic diagram of the cigarette lighter assembly according to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 2 , shows a top view of the cigarette lighter assembly of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , showing a front view of the cigarette lighter assembly of the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 4 , shows a bottom view of the cigarette lighter assembly described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cigarette lighter assembly disclosed in the present application may include: a panel 20, a cigarette lighter 30 and a connecting bracket 10; wherein, the cigarette lighter 30 is connected to the panel 20 through the connecting bracket 10, and the panel 20 is connected to the energy storage device. A circuit is provided at one end of the cigarette lighter 30 to realize electrical connection with the energy storage device, and the other end is also electrically connected to the electrical device, so that the energy storage device can realize the function of charging the electrical device.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the connecting bracket 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 7 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the connecting bracket 10 according to another angle of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 8 , shows a front view of the connecting bracket 10 according to the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 9 , shows a top view of the connecting bracket 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 10 , shows a bottom view of the connecting bracket 10 described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0051] Specifically, if Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the connecting bracket 10 includes a body 11 and a first clamping portion 12. The body 11 is a cylindrical structure having an accommodating cavity therein. The cigarette lighter 30 is connected to the body 11. Furthermore, the cigarette lighter 30 can be connected to the accommodating cavity. The first clamping portion 12 is connected to the body 11 and protrudes from the body 11 in a radial direction away from the cigarette lighter 30. In practical applications, the first clamping portion 12 can be configured as a thin plate-like structure.

[0052] Reference Figure 11 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the panel 20 according to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 12 , shows a top view of the panel 20 according to the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 13 , shows a front view of the panel 20 according to the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 14 , showing Figure 13 A diagram of the middle part is enlarged, refer to Figure 15 , shows a bottom view of the panel 20 described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0053] Specifically, if Figures 11 to 14 As shown, the panel 20 is provided with a second clamping portion 21 that cooperates with the first clamping portion 12 . The connecting bracket 10 can be rotated and clamped to the second clamping portion 21 through the first clamping portion 12 to detachably connect the cigarette lighter 30 to the panel 20 .

[0054] In actual application, the second clamping portion 21 can be a clamping slot. When connecting the connecting bracket 10 with the panel 20, the first clamping portion 12 can be aligned in a position convenient for assembly with the second clamping portion 21, and then the connecting bracket 10 can be rotated to rotate the first clamping portion 12 and clamp it into the second clamping portion 21.

[0055] It should be noted that the cigarette lighter 30 is a common standardized part in the prior art. The size of the connecting bracket 10 described in the embodiment of the present application matches the size of the common cigarette lighter 30 on the market, thereby facilitating the connection between the two.

[0056] like Figure 11 、 Figure 12 As shown, the second clamping portion 21 includes a limiting groove 211 and a limiting protrusion 212. The limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212 are arranged at intervals on the panel 20. The first clamping portion 12 is at least partially located in the limiting groove 211 and abuts against the limiting protrusion 212 to be clamped between the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212.

[0057] Specifically, the height of the limiting protrusion 212 can be set to be within the range of 3-15 mm protruding from the panel 203, so as to facilitate the first clamping portion 12 to be pressed down and ensure the limiting effect on the first clamping portion 12 after the position is restored.

[0058] It should be noted that since the structure of the cigarette lighter 30 is generally cylindrical, the connecting bracket 10 is also adapted to be configured as a cylindrical structure. Of course, if the cigarette lighter 30 is of other shapes, the connecting bracket can also be configured to be a shape that is compatible with the cigarette lighter 30 to better fix the cigarette lighter 30. In order to achieve electrical connection between the cigarette lighter 30 and the energy storage device, a mounting hole 22 is usually provided on the panel 20. The connecting bracket 10 is fixed at the position of the mounting hole 22, thereby fixing the cigarette lighter 30 to the panel 20. The cigarette lighter 30 passes through the mounting hole 22 and is electrically connected to the energy storage device. In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the mounting hole 22, and the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212 enclose a second clamping portion 21. The first clamping portion 12 can be clamped between the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212, thereby fixing the connecting bracket 10 on the panel 20.

[0059] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the limiting groove 211 includes three limiting surfaces 2111 connected in pairs, and the three limiting surfaces 2111 and the panel 20 together form a receiving groove with two openings, wherein one opening is opposite to the limiting protrusion 212, and the other opening is opposite to the main body 11 of the connecting bracket 10, and the first clamping portion 12 is at least partially located in the receiving groove.

[0060] Specifically, the three limiting surfaces 2111 are located in different planes, wherein two limiting surfaces 2111 are arranged perpendicular to the panel 20 and connected to the panel 20, and one limiting surface 2111 is arranged parallel to the panel 20. The three limiting surfaces 2111 and the panel 20 are combined to form a receiving groove, and the receiving groove has two openings. The first clamping portion 12 can be rotated along the axial direction of the main body 11 of the connecting bracket 10, and rotated from the opening opposite to the limiting protrusion 212 into the receiving groove. When the first clamping portion 12 rotates to one side and abuts the limiting groove 211, the limiting protrusion 212 can just abut against the other side of the first clamping portion 12, thereby clamping the first clamping portion 12 between the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 212.

[0061] It is understandable that since the three limiting surfaces 2111 of the limiting groove 211 are located in different planes, the first clamping portion 12 can be limited in three directions, thereby enhancing the limiting effect of the second clamping portion 21 on the first clamping portion 12.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 , shows a schematic diagram of the assembly of the connecting bracket 10 and the panel 20 according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in actual application, when the connecting bracket 10 and the panel 20 are assembled, the cigarette lighter 30 and the connecting bracket 10 can be pre-installed first, and then the connecting bracket 10 can be vertically aligned on the mounting hole 22 of the panel 20, and the first clamping portion 12 and the second clamping portion 21 are in a suitable position for convenient rotation and assembly, and then the connecting bracket 10 is pressed down vertically and rotated. During the rotation of the connecting bracket 10, the first clamping portion 12 can be rotated to press down the limiting protrusion 212, and then the downward pressure on the limiting protrusion 212 is maintained and the rotation is continued until the first clamping portion 12 abuts against the limiting groove 211. At this time, the first clamping portion 12 can just leave the limiting protrusion 212, and the first clamping portion 12 no longer has a downward pressure on the limiting protrusion 212. The limiting protrusion 212 can return to its original position, thereby limiting the first clamping portion 12 and limiting the reverse rotation of the first clamping portion 12.

[0063] Accordingly, when the cigarette lighter 30 or the panel 20 needs to be replaced or repaired, the limiting protrusion 212 can be pressed down manually or with a tool, and then the first clamping portion 12 can be rotated in the opposite direction out of the limiting groove 211 to remove the connecting bracket 10 from the panel 20. The connecting bracket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is easy to install and repair.

[0064] like Figure 11 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the limiting protrusion 212 is provided with a guide surface 2121 on the side away from the limiting groove 211, and the guide surface 2121 is set at a preset angle with the panel 20, wherein the preset angle ranges from 5° to 45°.

[0065] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 212 includes two surfaces that are arranged in opposite directions along the circumference of the main body 11 of the connecting bracket 10, one of which is a limiting surface 2111, which is opposite to an opening of the limiting groove 211. After the first clamping part 12 rotates to be at least partially located in the limiting groove 211, the limiting surface 2111 abuts against the first clamping part 12, thereby limiting the reverse rotation of the first clamping part 12; the other surface is a guide surface 2121. When the connecting bracket 10 is assembled with the panel 20, the guide surface 2121 can guide the rotational movement of the first clamping part 12, thereby facilitating the first clamping part 12 to rotate into the limiting groove 211.

[0066] It can be understood that in the process of rotating the first clamping part 12 to the limiting groove 211, if the range of the preset angle between the guide surface 2121 and the panel 20 is set too large, the guiding effect of the guide surface 2121 will be weakened. Therefore, setting the preset angle within the range of 5° to 45° can ensure that the limiting protrusion 212 has a good guiding effect on the first clamping.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to better limit the first clamping portion 12, the height of the limiting groove 211 can be set to be smaller. For example, the height of the limiting groove 211 can be slightly smaller than the thickness of the first clamping portion 12. At this time, during the rotation of the first clamping portion 12, one of the three limiting surfaces 2111 of the limiting groove 211 will first contact the first clamping portion 12. This matching surface is the limiting surface 2111 parallel to the panel 20. Figure 13 、 Figure 14 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the rotational cooperation effect between the first clamping portion 12 and the limiting groove 211, the cooperation surface is also set to an arc surface.

[0068] In some optional embodiments of the present application, a guide angle 121 is provided on the first clamping portion 12, and the guide angle 121 is arranged opposite to the guide surface 2121. It can be understood that because the guide angle 121 and the guide surface 2121 are arranged opposite to each other, when the connecting bracket 10 is rotated to rotate the first clamping portion 12 into the limiting groove 211, the guide angle 121 cooperates with the guide surface 2121, facilitating the first clamping portion 12 to press down the limiting protrusion 212, thereby smoothly rotating into the limiting groove 211.

[0069] Preferably, the limiting protrusion 212 is an elastic member and can be elastically deformed under the downward pressure of the first clamping portion 12 .

[0070] For example, the limiting protrusion 212 may be a rubber member, a silicone member, an elastic alloy member, etc., and this application does not limit the specific material of the limiting protrusion 212. It is understandable that the limiting protrusion 212 is set as an elastic member. After the first engaging portion 12 passes through the limiting protrusion 212, the elastic member can return to its original position due to its own elastic characteristics, thereby engaging with the first engaging portion 12.

[0071] In some optional embodiments of the present application, there are multiple first clamping portions 12, and the multiple first clamping portions 12 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the main body 11; the number of second clamping portions 21 is adapted to the number of first clamping portions 12, and one first clamping portion 12 is rotatably clamped to one second clamping portion 21.

[0072] For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the connecting bracket 10 is provided with three first clamping portions 12, and the three first clamping portions 12 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the main body 11, and three second clamping portions 21 are provided on the panel 20, and the three second clamping portions 21 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting hole 22 on the panel 20.

[0073] In actual application, providing multiple first clamping parts 12 and multiple second clamping parts 21 cooperating with the first clamping parts 12 can enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 10 and the panel 20, improve the stability of the connection between the cigarette lighter 30 and the panel 20, and thus ensure the normal use of the cigarette lighter 30.

[0074] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the main body 11 includes a first side wall 111, a second side wall 112 and a limiting plate 113, the diameter of the first side wall 111 is smaller than the diameter of the second side wall 112, and the annular plate is connected between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112; the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112 and the annular plate enclose a accommodating cavity, the cigarette lighter 30 is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity and abuts against the limiting plate 113, and the first clamping portion 12 is connected to the second side wall 112.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the first side wall 111 is arranged away from the panel 20, the second side wall 112 is arranged close to the panel 20 and is used to connect with the panel 20, the limiting plate 113 is an annular structure and is arranged parallel to the panel 20, and is connected between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112, and the first clamping portion 12 is connected to the outer periphery of the second side wall 112.

[0076] Reference Figure 16 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the cigarette lighter 30 according to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 17 , shows a schematic structural diagram of the cigarette lighter 30 according to another angle of the embodiment of the present application. The top of the common cigarette lighter 30 on the market is provided with an external electrical device interface, and the bottom is used for electrical connection with the energy storage device, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, the bottom of the cigarette lighter 30 also includes a protrusion 31 that extends radially outward from the cigarette lighter 30. When connecting the cigarette lighter 30 to the connecting bracket 10, the protrusion 31 can be sequentially passed from the bottom of the connecting bracket 10 through the second side wall 112 and the first side wall 111 until the protrusion 31 of the cigarette lighter 30 abuts the retaining plate 113 of the connecting bracket 10, completing the pre-assembly of the cigarette lighter 30 and the connecting bracket 10. Because the diameter of the first side wall 111 is smaller than that of the second side wall 112, the retaining plate 113 can retain the protrusion 31 of the cigarette lighter 30. After the connecting bracket 10 is connected to the panel 20, the protrusion 31 of the cigarette lighter 30 is retained between the panel 20 and the retaining plate 113 of the connecting bracket 10, completing the connection between the cigarette lighter 30, the connecting bracket 10, and the panel 20.

[0077] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the body 11 further includes a supporting portion 114 . The supporting portion 114 is connected inside the first side wall 111 and protrudes toward the cigarette lighter 30 to resist the cigarette lighter 30 .

[0078] Specifically, in order to facilitate the pre-installation of the cigarette lighter 30 and the connecting bracket 10, the diameter of the main body 11 of the connecting bracket 10 is set to be larger than the diameter of the cigarette lighter 30. In addition, there may be production errors between the cigarette lighter 30 and the connecting bracket 10. The above factors may cause the cigarette lighter 30 to have a certain degree of shaking after being pre-installed in the main body 11 of the connecting bracket 10. Although the slight shaking will not affect the use function of the cigarette lighter 30, it may affect the reliability of the connection between the cigarette lighter 30 and the panel 20 after long-term use, affecting the user experience. The supporting portion 114 provided in the first side wall 111 can be supported by the cigarette lighter 30, thereby enhancing the stability of the cigarette lighter 30, ensuring the use effect of the cigarette lighter 30, and improving the competitiveness of the product.

[0079] In some optional embodiments of the present application, there are multiple abutting portions 114, and the multiple abutting portions 114 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the first side wall 111. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of abutting portions 114 is three. In actual applications, the number of abutting portions 114 can also be two, four, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of abutting portions 114.

[0080] Optionally, the abutting portion 114 and the first side wall 111 are integrally formed. Specifically, the abutting portion 114 and the first side wall 111 can be integrally injection molded, or the abutting portion 114 can be formed by stamping the first side wall 111 .

[0081] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first clamping portion 12 and the body 11 are an integrally formed structure.

[0082] In actual applications, the first clamping part 12 and the main body 11 can also be separate structures. During production, the first clamping part 12 and the main body 11 can be separate structural components, and the first clamping part 12 is installed on the main body 11 later. This application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0083] It can be understood that when connecting the connecting bracket 10 with the panel 20, it is necessary to press the connecting bracket 10 downward so that the first clamping portion 12 presses down the limiting protrusion 212. The first clamping portion 12 will be subjected to downward pressure from the main body 11 and an upward reaction force from the limiting protrusion 212. Therefore, the first clamping portion 12 and the main body 11 are set to an integrally formed structure, which reduces the connection interface on the connecting bracket 10, is conducive to improving the connection strength between the first clamping portion 12 and the main body 11, and improving the overall structural strength of the connecting bracket 10, so that the first clamping portion 12 can be prevented from falling off when the first clamping portion 12 is subjected to force. In addition, the one-piece molded structure simplifies the production process of the connecting bracket 10, is conducive to improving production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0084] In summary, the cigarette lighter assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the connecting bracket includes a main body and a first clamping portion. The cigarette lighter can be pre-connected to the main body. The first clamping portion is connected to the main body and protrudes from the main body in a direction away from the cigarette lighter. Furthermore, a second clamping portion that cooperates with the first clamping portion is provided on the panel.
