Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shared charging cabinets, and in particular to a mobile power supply locking structure and a charging cabinet. Background Art
[0002] With the prevalence of mobile devices, power banks have become an indispensable tool in people's daily lives. While shared charging cabinets address users' need for power banks, they still face some challenges in practical application, particularly preventing power banks from being lost or stolen. Traditional power bank charging utilizes a single motor to lock a single power bank. However, due to the large number of power banks in a charging cabinet, installing multiple motors corresponding to the number of power banks would not only occupy a larger area within the cabinet, but also increase the cost of the cabinet.
[0003] Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the anti-theft effect, reducing the production cost of the charging cabinet is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mobile power supply locking structure and a charging cabinet, aiming to reduce production costs while ensuring anti-theft effects.
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A mobile power lock structure includes a locking component and at least two charging components.
[0007] The charging assembly includes a charging housing, and the charging housing is used to accommodate the mobile power supply;
[0008] The locking assembly includes a motor, a toggle member, and a first elastic locking structure and a second elastic locking structure; the side wall of the mobile power supply has a matching groove, and the ends of the first locking structure and the ends of the second locking structure both have guide surfaces;
[0009] When the mobile power supply is pushed into the charging housing, the mobile power supply contacts the guide surface, so that the first locking structure or the second locking structure moves in a direction away from the side wall of the mobile power supply, and when the matching groove reaches the first locking structure or the second locking structure, the end of the first locking structure or the end of the second locking structure can be received in the matching groove;
[0010] When the mobile power supply is unlocked, the motor rotates synchronously with the toggle member, controlling the motor to rotate forward or reverse, thereby enabling the toggle member to drive the first locking structure out of the mating groove, or enabling the toggle member to drive the second locking structure out of the mating groove on the mobile power supply in another charging assembly.
[0011] In one embodiment, the first locking structure and the second locking structure both include a locking member and a return spring, wherein the return spring is sleeved on the locking member, and when the end of the locking member disengages from the mating groove, the return spring has the potential energy to return to the direction of the mating groove.
[0012] In one embodiment, both of the locking members are provided with matching members that are perpendicular to the locking members and close to each other; and the matching members can be brought into contact and fit with the matching members by rotating the toggle member.
[0013] In one embodiment, the locking assembly further includes at least two photoelectric switches, and the first locking structure and the second locking structure are both provided with positioning members. When the positioning members cooperate with the photoelectric switches, the end of the first locking structure or the end of the second locking structure can be accommodated in the mating groove of the mobile power supply.
[0014] In one embodiment, the shifting member has a first shifting surface and a second shifting surface, and the first shifting surface and the second shifting surface are arranged at an angle.
[0015] In one embodiment, the first locking structure and the second locking structure are parallel and symmetrical.
[0016] In one embodiment, the charging assembly further includes a guide post and a compression spring sleeved on the guide post; before unlocking the mobile power supply, the mobile power supply, the guide post and the compression spring abut against each other in sequence, and the guide post has potential energy to move toward the mobile power supply.
[0017] The technical solution of the present utility model also proposes a charging cabinet, which includes any one of the mobile power supply locking structures described above.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This utility model utilizes a charging assembly and a locking assembly, with one locking assembly corresponding to at least two charging assemblies. Specifically, the charging assembly includes a charging housing and a power bank, with the charging housing being used to accommodate the power bank. The locking assembly comprises a motor, a toggle member, and elastic first and second locking structures. A sidewall of any power bank has a mating groove, and the ends of the first and second locking structures each have a guide surface. To lock the power bank, the power bank is pushed into contact with the guide surface, causing the first or second locking structure to move toward the sidewall away from the power bank. When the position of the mating groove reaches the first or second locking structure, the end of the first or second locking structure retracts into the mating groove, thereby locking the power bank and preventing theft. During unlocking, the motor rotates in different directions to independently control the first and second locking structures. When the motor rotates in a first direction (forward or reverse), the toggle member disengages the first locking structure from the mating groove, unlocking the power bank. When the motor rotates in a second direction (opposite to the second rotational direction), the toggle member drives the second locking structure to disengage from the mating slot of the other power bank. Therefore, the present invention's technical solution can control two charging assemblies using a single motor, reducing the number of motors used and thus saving manufacturing costs while ensuring theft prevention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally located component.
[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0035] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a mobile power supply locking structure 100 .
[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mobile power lock structure 100 includes a lock component and at least two charging components.
[0037] The charging assembly includes a charging housing 111, and the charging housing 111 is used to accommodate the mobile power supply 113;
[0038] The locking assembly includes a motor 121, a toggle member 122, and a first elastic locking structure 123 and a second elastic locking structure 124. The side wall of the mobile power supply 113 has a matching groove 113a, and the ends of the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 both have guide surfaces 233.
[0039] When the mobile power supply 113 is pushed into the charging housing 111, the mobile power supply 113 contacts the guide surface 233, so that the first locking structure 123 or the second locking structure 124 moves in a direction away from the side wall of the mobile power supply 113. When the matching groove 113a reaches the first locking structure or the second locking structure, the end of the first locking structure 123 or the end of the second locking structure 124 can be received in the matching groove 113a.
[0040] When the mobile power supply 113 is unlocked, the motor 121 rotates synchronously with the toggle member 122, and the motor 121 is controlled to rotate forward or reverse, so that the toggle member 122 can drive the first locking structure 123 to disengage from the mating groove 113a, or drive the second locking structure 124 to disengage from the mating groove 113a on the mobile power supply in another charging component.
[0041] It is understood that the present invention's technical solution, by providing a locking assembly and a charging assembly, allows one locking assembly to correspond to at least two charging assemblies. Specifically, the charging assembly includes a charging housing 111 and a power bank 113. The charging housing 111 is used to accommodate the power bank 113. The locking assembly comprises a motor 121, a toggle 122, and a first resilient locking structure 123 and a second resilient locking structure 124. The sidewalls of any power bank 113 have a mating groove 113a, and the ends of the first and second locking structures 123 and 124 each have a guide surface 233. To lock the power bank 113, the power bank 113 is pushed into contact with the guide surface 233, causing the first or second locking structure to move toward the sidewall away from the power bank 113. When the position of the mating groove 113a reaches the first or second locking structure, the end of the first or second locking structure 123 or 124 retracts into the mating groove 113a, thereby securing the power bank 113 and preventing theft. During the unlocking process, the motor 121 is rotated in different directions to achieve separate control of the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124. When the motor 121 rotates in a first direction (forward or reverse), the toggle member 122 drives the first locking structure 123 out of the mating slot 113a, thereby unlocking the power bank 113. When the motor 121 rotates in a second direction (opposite to the second rotational direction), the toggle member 122 drives the second locking structure 124 out of the mating slot 113a of the other power bank 113. Therefore, the technical solution of the utility model can control two sets of charging components while using a single motor 121, reducing the number of motors 121 and thus saving manufacturing costs while achieving theft prevention.
[0042] It should also be noted that the first direction and the second direction are rotation directions, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
[0043] It should also be noted that the elasticity of the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 can be achieved through air bags, springs or springs, or through deformation of the material itself.
[0044] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 both include a locking member 231 and a return spring 232. The return spring 232 is sleeved on the locking member 231. When the end of the locking member 231 disengages from the mating groove 113a, the return spring 232 has the potential energy to return to the direction of the mating groove 113a.
[0045] Optionally, the return spring 232 is located on a side of the locking member 231 away from the guide surface 233. The return spring 232 is a compression spring. When the end of the locking member 231 is separated from the matching groove 113a, the return spring 232 has elastic potential energy of expansion.
[0046] Please continue reading Figure 3 The two locking members 231 are both provided with a matching member 234 perpendicular to the locking member 231 and close to each other; by rotating the toggle member 122, the matching member 234 can be brought into contact with and matched with the toggle member 122.
[0047] It is understandable that the vertically and closely arranged mating pieces 234 can reduce the space occupied by the locking assembly and improve the compactness of the design.
[0048] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly further includes at least two photoelectric switches 235, and the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 are both provided with a positioning member 236. When the positioning member 236 cooperates with the photoelectric switch 235, the end of the first locking structure 123 or the end of the second locking structure 124 can be accommodated in the matching groove 113a of the mobile power supply 113.
[0049] Furthermore, when the mobile power supply 113 needs to be unlocked, the motor 121 is controlled to rotate so as to drive the end of the first locking structure 123 or the end of the second locking structure 124 to disengage from the mating groove 113a through the toggle member 122. After the positioning member 236 on the first locking structure 123 or the second locking structure 124 disengages from the photoelectric switch 235, the motor 121 can be controlled to stop immediately or rotate in the opposite direction.
[0050] It can also be understood that when the consumer returns the mobile power supply 113 to the charging housing 111, the photoelectric switch 235 and the positioning member 236 can also be used to detect whether the mobile power supply 113 is installed in place, thereby reminding the consumer to correct the installation position of the mobile power supply 113, thereby solving the problem of the mobile power supply 113 that is not installed in place when returned being easily lost or stolen.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the shifting member 122 has a first shifting surface 1221 and a second shifting surface 1222 , and the first shifting surface 1221 and the second shifting surface 1222 are arranged at an angle.
[0052] It is understandable that arranging the first dial surface 1221 and the second dial surface 1222 at an angle can reduce the rotational stroke of the motor 121, thereby accelerating the user response speed of the locking assembly and optimizing the user experience.
[0053] Please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 are parallel and symmetrical. It can be understood that since the first locking structure 123 and the second locking structure 124 move in the same direction, their parallel and symmetrical arrangement can improve the stability of the structure.
[0054] See also Figure 4 In a specific embodiment, the charging assembly further includes a guide post 112a and a compression spring 112b sleeved on the guide post 112a. Before unlocking the mobile power supply 113, the mobile power supply 113, the guide post 112a, and the compression spring 112b are in contact with each other, and the guide post 112a has potential energy to move toward the mobile power supply 113. It is also understood that after unlocking the mobile power supply 113, the compression spring 112b releases its potential energy toward the mobile power supply 113 through the guide post 112a, thereby ejecting the mobile power supply 113 from the charging housing 111.
[0055] It can also be understood that the arrangement of the compression spring 112b and the guide post 112a avoids the use of a driving member, thereby further saving production costs.
[0056] The present invention also claims protection for a charging cabinet comprising any one of the above-mentioned mobile power lock structures 100. The specific structure and beneficial effects of the mobile power lock structure 100 have been described in the above-mentioned embodiment and technical solution, and thus will not be repeated here.
[0057] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
