[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are numbered with associated similar elements. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are provided to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that some of the features may be omitted in different circumstances, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid the core portion of the present application being overwhelmed by excessive descriptions, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail. They will fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0027] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0028] The serial numbers assigned to components herein, such as "first," "second," etc., are used solely to distinguish the objects being described and do not convey any sequential or technical meaning. References to "connection" and "coupling" herein, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0029] Rechargeable mobile devices typically contain rechargeable batteries (such as lithium batteries or storage batteries) that are charged directly from a power source via a charging cable. This charging process generates significant heat. However, a fault in the device itself or the charging cable can cause a short circuit, which in turn can increase the heat in the device. When the heat reaches a critical point, the battery can spontaneously combust or even explode. This presents an even greater safety hazard if the incident occurs indoors.

[0030] In the event of a spontaneous combustion or even explosion, fire extinguishing equipment is often used alone. However, due to the limitations of the special materials of batteries, hidden dangers cannot be completely eliminated, and splashes may even cause harm to users in the event of an explosion.

[0031] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a storage device for rechargeable mobile devices, which can not only extinguish fires but also prevent splashes generated by explosions from splashing and injuring users.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, a rechargeable mobile device is charged inside a container, and the access opening of the container is closed by a cover. If, due to certain circumstances, the rechargeable mobile device spontaneously combusts or even explodes, a fire extinguishing mechanism outputs a fire extinguishing medium into the container and cooperates with the container to prevent splashing of materials by closing the access opening, thereby preventing or reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the storage device for charging a rechargeable mobile device provided in this embodiment includes: a container 10 , a cover 20 and a fire extinguishing mechanism 30 .

[0035] The container 10 is used to accommodate a rechargeable mobile device 100. In this application, a rechargeable mobile device can be any item including a rechargeable battery, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rechargeable mobile device 100 shown in the figure is a mobile phone. Of course, the rechargeable mobile device 100 can also be a tablet computer, a cordless power tool, or a mobile power supply made of its own rechargeable battery, etc.

[0036] The container 10 is provided with an access opening 11, through which the rechargeable mobile device 100 can be taken in and out of the container 10. After the rechargeable mobile device 100 is placed in the container 10, the rechargeable mobile device 100 can be connected to the charging power source 200 to be charged.

[0037] The cover 20 is disposed on the access opening 11. The cover 20 can open or close the access opening 11. When the access opening 11 is open, the rechargeable mobile device 100 can be placed into the container 11. When the access opening 11 is closed, the cover 20 and the container 10 form a sealed environment, thereby preventing splashes of the rechargeable mobile device 100 from spontaneously combusting or even exploding and injuring the user.

[0038] Of course, the sealed environment formed by the cover 20 and the container 10 can effectively reduce the oxygen content in the sealed environment, which helps the rechargeable mobile device 100 in a burning state to be extinguished quickly.

[0039] In this embodiment, the container 10 and the cover 20 are made of a high-strength non-magnetic metal material to improve their strength, provide a certain degree of anti-violence function, and quickly dissipate the heat generated by the rechargeable mobile device 100 during the charging process. At the same time, the non-magnetic material can avoid shielding the signal of the rechargeable mobile device 100, such as a mobile phone.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the high-strength non-magnetic metal material can be non-magnetic steel, non-magnetic stainless steel, non-magnetic tungsten steel, non-magnetic alloy or other metal materials.

[0041] In one embodiment, the lid 20 is hingedly connected to the container 10. For example, the lid 20 is connected to the container 10 via a hinge, and the lid 20 can be opened 180° relative to the container 10 along the hinge position thereof.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the container 10 and / or the cover 20 is further provided with a threading hole 40 (e.g. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the wire hole 40 is used to guide the charging wire 201 to connect the charging power source 200 to the rechargeable mobile device 100 in the container 10.

[0043] In one embodiment, a disconnection structure 202 is provided between the charging power source 200 and the rechargeable mobile device 100 . The disconnection structure 202 can cut off the connection between the rechargeable mobile device 100 and the charging power source 200 when a fire occurs in the rechargeable mobile device 100 .

[0044] In the present application, the threading hole 40 is a notch provided at the access opening 11 of the container 10 and / or on the side of the cover 20 facing the access opening 11. Specifically, a first notch 12 is provided at the access opening 11 of the container 10, and a second notch 21 is provided on the side of the cover 20 facing the access opening 11. After the cover 20 closes the access opening 11, the first notch 12 and the second notch 21 can be overlapped. The overlapped first notch 12 and second notch 21 form the threading hole 40, which guides the charging cable 201 to connect the charging power source 200 to the rechargeable mobile device 100 in the container 10.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the threading hole 40 may be provided only on the container 10 or the cover 20 , which can also guide the arrangement of the charging cable 201 .

[0046] During use, the charging cable 201 rubs against the wall of the threading hole 40, which makes the charging cable easily worn. Therefore, in this embodiment, a wear-resistant insulating structure 41 is provided on the inner periphery of the threading hole 40. When the charging cable 201 is pulled, the friction between the charging cable 201 and the wear-resistant insulating structure 41 can be reduced, thereby preventing the charging cable 201 from being worn and causing safety accidents.

[0047] In some embodiments, the wear-resistant insulating structure 41 may be made of a flexible insulating material, for example, rubber, silicone, or the like.

[0048] The fire extinguishing mechanism 30 is disposed on a side of the cover 20 facing the inner cavity of the container 10 and / or is disposed in the inner cavity of the container 10 . The fire extinguishing mechanism 30 is used to output a fire extinguishing medium when a fire occurs in the rechargeable mobile device 100 in the container 10 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the access port 11 is located at the top of the container 10, so the rechargeable mobile device 100 is placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the container 10. In a preferred embodiment, the fire extinguishing mechanism 30 is disposed on the side of the cover 20 facing the inner cavity of the container 10, so that the fire extinguishing medium can be output from top to bottom toward the rechargeable mobile device 100 in case of fire, thereby improving the fire extinguishing effect.

[0050] Due to the limitation of the special materials contained in the battery of the rechargeable mobile device 100 , the fire extinguishing medium is preferably carbon dioxide, so as to quickly isolate oxygen from the rechargeable mobile device 100 in the event of a fire.

[0051] See also Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the fire extinguishing mechanism 30 includes a storage element 31, a sensor 32 and a switch valve 33. The sensor 32 is connected to the switch valve 33, and the switch valve 33 is installed on the storage element 31. The storage element 31 is used to store a fire extinguishing medium. The sensor 32 is used to detect a fire in the rechargeable mobile device 100 in the container 10. The switch valve 33 is in a normally closed state and opens and outputs the fire extinguishing medium when the sensor 32 detects a fire. In other words, when a fire occurs in the rechargeable mobile device 100, the occurrence of the fire can be detected by the sensor 32, so as to control the switch valve 33 to open and output the fire extinguishing medium stored in the storage element 31.

[0052] In this embodiment, the switch valve 33 is usually in a normally closed state and is opened only when the sensor 32 detects the occurrence of a fire to output the fire extinguishing medium.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the sensor 32 includes any one or at least two of a temperature sensor, a smoke sensor, or a flame sensor.

[0054] When the temperature of the rechargeable mobile device 100 rises to a critical point during charging that may cause the battery to self-ignite or explode, the temperature sensor can detect the temperature and trigger the control switch valve 33 to operate when the temperature exceeds the critical point.

[0055] Of course, if only a smoke sensor is provided and the smoke sensor detects smoke from a rechargeable mobile device 100 on fire, the switch valve 33 can also be triggered to operate. Alternatively, if only a flame sensor is provided and the flame of a rechargeable mobile device 100 on fire is detected by the flame sensor, the switch valve 33 can also be triggered to operate.

[0056] The present application may adopt the arrangement of at least two of the temperature sensor, smoke sensor or flame sensor, so that when one or two of them fail, the switch valve 33 may be controlled by the remaining sensors to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage device for charging a rechargeable mobile device provided in the present application further includes a heat-conducting layer 50 , which is disposed on the inner wall of the container 10 and can improve the heat transfer capability, thereby quickly transferring the heat generated by the rechargeable mobile device 100 during the charging process to the container 10 .

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the heat-conducting layer 50 is made of a material that is high-temperature resistant, flame-retardant, and has high thermal conductivity, such as a rubber-plastic material with a flame retardant added thereto.

[0059] When the access opening 11 of the container 10 is closed by the cover 20, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the cover 20 and the container 10, a self-locking component 60 is further provided between the container 10 and the cover 20. The self-locking component 60 is used to lock the cover 20 that closes the access opening 11, which can further prevent splashes generated during an explosion.

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the self-locking component 60 includes a lock buckle 61 and a locking spring 62, wherein the lock buckle 61 is arranged on the outer wall of the container 10 near the access port 11, and the locking spring 62 is arranged on the cover body 20. A locking hole 611 is provided on the lock buckle 61, and a locking protrusion 621 is provided on the locking spring 62. When the cover body 20 is buckled on the access port 11 of the container 10, the locking spring 62 moves toward the lock buckle 61 and undergoes elastic deformation until the locking protrusion 621 is stuck in the locking hole 611. The locking spring 62 recovers and under the action of elastic potential energy, the locking protrusion 621 is clamped in the locking hole 611 to lock the cover body 20 with the container 10.

[0061] The storage device for charging a rechargeable mobile device provided in this embodiment further includes a cooling structure (not shown in the figure). The cooling structure is provided in the container 10 and / or the cover 20 and is used to cool the interior of the container 10 to prevent the temperature of the rechargeable mobile device 100 from being too high during the charging process.

[0062] In some embodiments, the cooling structure may be a cooling pipe disposed on the outer surface of the container 10, with a cooling medium such as water circulating in the cooling pipe to cool the container 10 in real time. Of course, in other embodiments, the cooling structure may also be a semiconductor refrigeration plate, and the specific selection can be based on actual needs and is not limited here.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a charging mechanism is provided in the container of this embodiment, which can directly charge the rechargeable mobile device 100 .

[0065] See also Figure 8 As shown, the storage device for charging a rechargeable mobile device provided in this embodiment further includes a charging mechanism 70 . The charging mechanism 70 is disposed in the inner cavity of the container 10 , and is used to charge the rechargeable mobile device 100 .

[0066] Specifically, the charging mechanism 70 includes a first charging component 71, a second charging component 72 and a third charging component 73, wherein the first charging component 71 can be a wireless charging module, the second charging component 72 can be a power socket, and the third charging component 73 can be a USB socket. Of course, the first charging component 71, the second charging component 72 and the third charging component 73 are all connected to the charging power supply 200 through a charging cable 201, and a disconnecting structure 202 can be set between the first charging component 71, the second charging component 72 and the third charging component 73 and the charging power supply 200.

[0067] In summary, the storage device for charging rechargeable mobile devices provided herein forms a sealed environment with the lid closed to the access opening of the container, thereby preventing splashing debris from the rechargeable mobile device, which could spontaneously combust or even explode, from injuring the user. Furthermore, a fire extinguishing mechanism can be used to deliver a fire extinguishing medium to the rechargeable mobile device in the container in the event of a fire. The sealed environment created by the lid closing to the access opening effectively isolates the rechargeable mobile device from oxygen, further enhancing the fire extinguishing effect.

[0068] The above examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions can be made based on the concept of the present invention.
