All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0064] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0065] The terms “first,” “second,” and “third” (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0066] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0067] In existing technology, to meet users' charging needs for digital products while riding, scooters are designed with mainstream interfaces such as USB and Type-C. These interfaces provide high-power input / output, allowing for timely charging of users' digital products and quick access to a compatible charger when the scooter's battery is low. However, when users plug the charging cable into these interfaces, the connector can easily detach from the interface due to bumpy road conditions encountered during riding, affecting the user experience.

[0068] After repeated consideration and verification, the inventors discovered that by installing a charging / discharging base on the scooter, and incorporating an interface and an anti-detachment structure on the base, and correspondingly, a limiting part can be provided on the outer shell of the charging cable connector. After the charging cable connector and the charging / discharging base interface are plugged in, the user can engage the anti-detachment structure and the limiting part. This engagement will keep the charging cable connector on the charging / discharging base, preventing it from easily detaching from the interface and ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging cable and the charging / discharging base, thus improving the user experience.

[0069] In view of this, the inventor designed an anti-detachment connector and a scooter. The anti-detachment connector is installed on the scooter with a charging and discharging base, an anti-detachment structure on the charging and discharging base, and a limiting part on the outer shell of the charging cable connector. The cooperation between the anti-detachment structure and the limiting part can limit the charging cable connector on the charging and discharging base, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging and discharging base and the charging cable.

[0070] The technical solutions for the anti-detachment connector and scooter provided in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Reference Figures 1-5As shown in the embodiment of this application, the anti-detachment connector includes a charging / discharging base 100 and a charging cable 200. The charging / discharging base 100 is provided with an interface 110. The charging cable 200 includes a cable 210 and a connector 220 located at the end of the cable 210. The connector 220 includes a housing 221 and a plug 222 extending from the end of the housing 221 away from the cable 210. The plug 222 is inserted into the interface 110, and a limiting portion is provided on the housing 221. The charging / discharging base 100 is provided with an anti-detachment structure, which cooperates with the limiting portion to fix the connector 220 on the charging / discharging base 100.

[0072] For example, the interface 110 can be located on the side of the charging / discharging base 100 away from the scooter body. The number of interfaces 110 can be one or more, and is not limited here. The type of interface 110 can be USB or Type-C, etc., and those skilled in the art can configure it as needed.

[0073] Optionally, the housing 221 of the connector 220 can be made of plastic. The type of plug 222 matches the type of interface 110 on the charging / discharging socket 100. Understandably, when the interface 110 of the charging / discharging socket 100 is plugged into the plug 222 of the charging cable 200, the user can charge digital products or scooters via the charging cable 200. In one possible implementation, a limiting portion can be formed on the housing 221 of the connector 220 using a one-piece molding process.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that when the anti-detachment structure is combined with the limiting part, the anti-detachment structure can restrict the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 from moving away from the interface 110. When the scooter encounters bumps during the ride, it can ensure a reliable electrical connection between the interface 110 and the connector 220.

[0075] The anti-detachment connector provided in this embodiment can limit the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 to the charging and discharging base 100 after the plug 222 of the connector 220 is plugged into the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100 through the cooperation between the anti-detachment structure and the limiting part. This ensures that the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 will not fall off the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100, thus ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100 and improving the user experience.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the charging / discharging base 100 is detachably mounted on the scooter. The charging / discharging base 100 is also provided with a guide groove 120. The interface 110 is located at the bottom of the guide groove 120, and the housing 221 extends at least partially into the guide groove 120.

[0077] Understandably, the charging / discharging socket 100 can be detachably installed on the scooter, facilitating maintenance and replacement by the user. Schematic, a guide groove 120 can be formed on the housing of the charging / discharging socket 100, with the depth direction of the guide groove 120 parallel to the insertion direction between the interface 110 and the connector 220.

[0078] In one possible implementation, when the interface 110 and the plug 222 of the connector 220 are plugged into each other, the limiting portion on the connector 220 extends at least partially into the guide groove 120.

[0079] In this structure, a guide groove 120 is provided on the charging and discharging base 100. The guide groove 120 can cooperate with the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 to ensure the insertion direction of the charging cable 200 connector 220 and ensure that the plug 222 of the connector 220 can be reliably plugged into the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 3-9 As shown, the limiting part is a first buckle 2211 provided on the side of the outer shell 221. The first buckle 2211 is provided with a protrusion 2212, which is limited to the anti-detachment structure.

[0081] Indicatively, the first latching member 2211 can be fixedly or detachably installed on the outer casing 221. The protrusion 2212 can be integrally formed on the side of the first latching member 2211 away from the outer casing 221, and the elastic deformation of the first latching member 2211 allows the outer casing 221 of the connector 220 to extend into the guide groove 120.

[0082] The number of first fasteners 2211 can be one or more. For example, when there is one first fastener 2211, after the outer shell 221 extends into the guide groove 120, the anti-detachment structure faces the first fastener 2211, and the side of the outer shell 221 away from the first fastener 2211 can abut against the side wall of the guide groove 120. When there are multiple first fasteners 2211, there can also be multiple anti-detachment structures, and the protrusions 2212 on the multiple first fasteners 2211 are correspondingly limited on the multiple anti-detachment structures.

[0083] In this structure, the connector 220 can be snapped into the anti-detachment structure of the charging and discharging base 100 through the first snap fastener 2211. The limiting between the connector 220 and the charging and discharging base 100 is relatively easy, making it convenient for the user to fix the connector 220 on the charging and discharging base 100.

[0084] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the anti-detachment structure is a first protrusion 121 provided on the side wall of the guide groove 120, and the side of the first protrusion 121 facing the interface 110 abuts against the protrusion 2212. The first end of the first latching member 2211 is connected to the end of the outer shell 221 facing the plug 222, and the distance between the first latching member 2211 and the outer shell 221 gradually increases from the plug 222 toward the cable 210. The second end of the first latching member 2211 extends out of the guide groove 120.

[0085] The first protrusion 121 can be integrally formed on the side wall of the guide groove 120. The first fastener 2211 can elastically deform relative to the outer shell 221, that is, the second end of the first fastener 2211 can approach the outer shell 221 when subjected to external force, and the first fastener 2211 will reset under its own elastic force after the external force disappears.

[0086] During the process of connecting the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 to the charging / discharging base 100, the user can press the second end of the first latching member 2211, causing the second end of the first latching member 2211 to approach the outer shell 221 of the connector 220. At this time, the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 can extend into the guide groove 120 of the charging / discharging base 100, and the protrusion 2212 on the first latching member 2211 can pass over the first protrusion 121. After the plug 222 of the connector 220 is inserted into the interface 110 of the charging / discharging base 100, the protrusion 2212 on the first latching member 2211 is located on the side of the first protrusion 121 facing the interface 110, and the protrusion 2212 abuts against the first protrusion 121.

[0087] It is worth mentioning that, since the second end of the first buckle 2211 extends out of the guide groove 120, the user can press the second end of the first buckle 2211 to pull the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 out of the guide groove 120 of the charging and discharging base 100.

[0088] With this structure, the connection and disassembly between the charging cable 200 and the charging / discharging base 100 are relatively easy. At the same time, the cooperation between the protrusion 2212 and the first protrusion 121 can ensure a reliable electrical connection between the connector 220 and the interface 110.

[0089] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a first guide surface 2213 is provided on the side of the protrusion 2212 facing the plug 222, and a second guide surface 1211 is provided on the side of the first protrusion 121 facing away from the interface 110. The second guide surface 1211 is configured to cooperate with the first guide surface 2213 to drive the protrusion 2212 over the first protrusion 121.

[0090] The first guide surface 2213 and the second guide surface 1211 can be either inclined or curved. When the user inserts the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 into the guide groove 120, the second guide surface 1211 abuts against the first guide surface 2213. Under the action of the first guide surface 2213 and the second guide surface 1211, the first protrusion 121 applies a component force to the protrusion 2212, causing the first latching member 2211 to move closer to the outer shell 221. Under this component force, the first latching member 2211 undergoes elastic deformation, causing its second end to move closer to the outer shell 221.

[0091] With the above settings, when the user inserts the connector 220 into the guide groove 120 of the charging and discharging base 100, there is no need to press the second end of the first latch 2211. Under the cooperation of the first guide surface 2213 and the second guide surface 1211, the protrusion 2212 of the first latch 2211 can directly pass over the first protrusion 121, which facilitates the connection between the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 and the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100.

[0092] In another possible implementation, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the anti-detachment structure is a groove 122 provided on the side wall of the guide groove 120. The outer shell 221 is provided with a relief groove corresponding to the position of the first fastener 2211, and the protrusion 2212 extends into the groove 122. The first fastener 2211 is also provided with a protrusion 2214, which is located outside the guide groove 120.

[0093] For example, the protrusion 2214 can be located at the end of the first latching member 2211 away from the protrusion 2212. The shape of the protrusion 2214 can be a rectangular block or column, or other suitable shape, and is not limited to a single shape. The protrusion 2214 is located on the side of the first latching member 2211 away from the outer shell 221. The clearance groove of the outer shell 221 provides deformation space for the first latching member 2211. When the user presses the protrusion 2214, it can drive the protrusion 2212 on the first latching member 2211 to move towards the outer shell 221, so that the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 can extend into the guide groove 120.

[0094] When the plug 222 of the charging cable 200 is inserted into the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100, the user can release the protrusion 2214, and the first latch 2211 will reset under its own elastic force. At this time, the protrusion 2212 on the first latch 2211 extends into the groove 122 on the side wall of the guide groove 120.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the protrusion 2212 of the first latching member 2211 extends into the groove 122, the groove 122 can limit the protrusion 2212, preventing the connector 220 from moving away from the interface 110, thus ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the connector 220 and the interface 110. Simultaneously, the connection between the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 and the charging / discharging base 100 is relatively easy.

[0096] Optional, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a third guide surface 2215 is provided on the side of the protrusion 2212 facing the interface 110, and the distance between the third guide surface 2215 and the center line of the housing 221 gradually increases from the plug 222 toward the cable 210.

[0097] Indicatively, the protrusion 2212 adopts a wedge-shaped design in the insertion direction of the connector 220. When the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 extends into the guide groove 120, the guide groove 120 applies an external force to the third guide surface 2215, causing the protrusion 2212 to move towards the outer shell 221, so as to ensure that the protrusion 2212 does not obstruct the extension of the outer shell 221.

[0098] With the above settings, when the user inserts the connector 220 into the guide groove 120 of the charging and discharging base 100, there is no need to press the protrusion 2214 on the first buckle 2211, which facilitates the connection between the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 and the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100.

[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figures 10-18 As shown, the limiting part is a limiting groove 223 provided on the side of the housing 221, and the anti-detachment structure is configured to extend into the limiting groove 223.

[0100] When the plug 222 of the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 is inserted into the interface 110 of the charging / discharging base 100, the limiting groove 223 of the outer shell 221 extends into the guide groove 120 of the charging / discharging base 100. It can be understood that when part of the anti-detachment structure extends into the limiting groove 223, the anti-detachment structure can restrict the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 from moving away from the interface 110.

[0101] With this structure, when the plug 222 of the charging cable 200 is plugged into the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100, the anti-detachment structure and the limiting groove 223 cooperate to prevent the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 from falling off the interface 110, thus ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 10-12As shown, the anti-detachment structure is a second latching member 123 disposed on the side wall of the guide groove 120. The middle part of the second latching member 123 is connected to the side wall of the guide groove 120 through a connecting part 124, and the first end of the second latching member 123 extends away from the side wall of the guide groove 120. The first end of the second latching member 123 extends into the limiting groove 223, and the second end of the second latching member 123 extends out of the guide groove 120.

[0103] For example, the second latching member 123 can be integrally molded onto the side wall of the guide groove 120. The number of second latching members 123 can be one or more, and the number of limiting grooves 223 is the same as the number of second latching members 123. When the outer shell 221 of the charging cable 200 extends into the guide groove 120 of the charging / discharging base 100, at least one second latching member 123 corresponds to at least one limiting groove 223. It is worth mentioning that when there is only one limiting groove 223, it can serve as a foolproof mechanism. That is, the outer shell 221 of the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 is slotted on one side, making the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 an asymmetrical structure. The connector 220 is easily identifiable, effectively reducing the probability of the connector 220 being inserted incorrectly, thus protecting the connector 220.

[0104] Optionally, the connecting portion 124 can be a sheet-like structure perpendicular to the axis of the guide groove 120. One end of the connecting portion 124 is connected to the side wall of the guide groove 120, and the other end of the connecting portion 124 is connected to the second fastener 123. The second fastener 123 can elastically deform relative to the connecting portion 124. When the user applies external force to the second end of the second fastener 123, the first end of the second fastener 123 can move closer to or further away from the side wall of the guide groove 120.

[0105] Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the second latching member 123 is inclined at the portion of the connecting portion 124 facing the interface 110. When the outer shell 221 of the charging cable 200 extends into the guide groove 120, the outer shell 221 can press against the first end of the second latching member 123, causing the first end of the second latching member 123 to extend towards the side wall of the guide groove 120. When the limiting groove 223 of the outer shell 221 is aligned with the first end of the second latching member 123, the first end of the second latching member 123 extends into the limiting groove 223 under its own elastic force. At this time, the first end of the latching member prevents the outer shell 221 of the charging cable 200 from moving away from the interface 110 of the charging / discharging base 100.

[0106] When the user needs to remove the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 from the charging and discharging base 100, simply press the second end of the second latch 123 to disengage the first end of the second latch 123 from the limiting groove 223.

[0107] This structure, through the cooperation between the second buckle 123 and the limiting groove 223, can fix the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 onto the charging and discharging base 100, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the plug 222 of the charging cable 200 and the connector 220 of the charging and discharging base 100.

[0108] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 13-15 As shown, the anti-detachment structure includes a slider 125 slidably mounted on the charging / discharging base 100, and a second protrusion 1251 is provided on the slider 125. The second protrusion 1251 is configured to slide into the limiting groove 223.

[0109] For example, the sliding direction of the slider 125 can be perpendicular to the insertion direction of the connector 220, and the second protrusion 1251 can be provided on the side wall of the main body of the slider 125. The slider 125 can slide between a first position and a second position. When the slider 125 is in the first position, the second protrusion 1251 on the slider 125 is located in the limiting groove 223; when the slider 125 is in the second position, the second protrusion 1251 on the slider 125 disengages from the limiting groove 223.

[0110] With this structure, after the plug 222 of the charging cable 200 is inserted into the interface 110 of the charging and discharging base 100, the user can adjust the position of the slider 125. The cooperation between the second protrusion 1251 on the slider 125 and the upper limit groove 223 of the outer shell 221 can prevent the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 from moving away from the interface 110, thus ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100.

[0111] In a more specific embodiment, such as Figures 13-15 As shown. The anti-disconnect connector also includes a cover 300 covering the charging / discharging base 100, with a second protrusion 1251 located between the charging / discharging base 100 and the cover 300. The charging / discharging base 100 has a first sliding groove 130 on the side facing the cover 300, and the cover 300 has a first hole 310 and a second hole 320. The first hole 310 corresponds to the first sliding groove 130, and the second hole 320 corresponds to the guide groove 120. One end of the slider 125 extends into the first sliding groove 130 and is slidably connected to it, while the other end of the slider 125 extends into the first hole 310.

[0112] For example, the shape of the cover 300 can match the shape of the charging / discharging base 100. After the cover 300 is placed on the charging / discharging base 100, it can be locked to the charging / discharging base 100 by fasteners. Optionally, the shape of the second hole 320 can be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 120, and the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 can pass through the second hole 320 and extend into the guide groove 120.

[0113] Understandably, the first groove 130 guides the slider 125, ensuring that the slider 125 can only slide along the extending direction of the first groove 130. For example, the shape of the first hole 310 can be the same as the shape of the first groove 130, i.e., the first hole 310 can be an oblong hole. In this way, the first hole 310 and the first groove 130 can respectively guide the slider 125. The first hole 310 on the cover 300 exposes the slider 125, allowing the user to adjust its position by moving the slider 125.

[0114] In this embodiment, the cover 300 can limit the slider 125 to prevent the slider 125 from detaching from the charging and discharging base 100. In this way, when the second protrusion 1251 of the slider 125 slides into the limiting groove 223, the reliability of the connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100 can be guaranteed.

[0115] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, the charging / discharging base 100 has a second sliding groove 140 on the side facing the cover 300. The second protrusion 1251 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 140, and a limiting protrusion 141 is provided in the middle of the second sliding groove 140. When the second protrusion 1251 is located on one side of the limiting protrusion 141, the second protrusion 1251 is located in the limiting groove 223; when the second protrusion 1251 is located on the other side of the limiting protrusion 141, the second protrusion 1251 disengages from the limiting groove 223.

[0116] The second slide groove 140 is located between the first slide groove 130 and the guide groove 120, and the extension direction of the second slide groove 140 is parallel to the extension direction of the first slide groove 130. When the slider 125 slides in the first slide groove 130, the second protrusion 1251 on the slider 125 slides synchronously in the second slide groove 140. In one possible implementation, the limiting protrusion 141 can be a strip-shaped structure, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second slide groove 140.

[0117] Schematic illustration: When slider 125 is in the first position, the limiting protrusion 141 abuts against one side of the second protrusion 1251, at which point the second protrusion 1251 is located inside the limiting groove 223; when slider 125 is in the second position, the limiting protrusion 141 abuts against the other side of the second protrusion 1251, at which point the second protrusion 1251 disengages from the limiting groove 223. It is worth noting that when the user applies external force to slider 125, the elastic deformation of the second protrusion 1251 and / or the limiting protrusion 141 allows the second protrusion 1251 to pass over the limiting protrusion 141, thereby adjusting the position of slider 125.

[0118] The position of the second protrusion 1251 can be restricted by the limiting protrusion 141 on the second slide groove 140. When the second protrusion 1251 is located in the limiting groove 223, the second protrusion 1251 will not be dislodged from the limiting groove 223 due to the bumps during the ride of the scooter, which further improves the reliability of the electrical connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100.

[0119] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 16-18 As shown, the anti-detachment structure includes a locking unit 126 and a slider 125. The slider 125 is slidably mounted on the charging / discharging base 100. The charging / discharging base 100 is provided with a receiving groove 150, and the locking unit 126 is disposed in the receiving groove 150. The locking unit 126 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking unit 126 is in the locked state, one end of the slider 125 extends into the limiting groove 223, and the other end of the slider 125 abuts against the locking unit 126; when the locking unit 126 is in the unlocked state, the locking unit 126 disengages from the slider 125.

[0120] The receiving groove 150 and the guide groove 120 are spaced apart. The charging and discharging base 100 is also provided with a channel connecting the receiving groove 150 and the guide groove 120. The slider 125 passes through the channel and is slidably connected to the channel. The sliding direction of the slider 125 can be restricted by the channel.

[0121] Indicative, such as Figure 17 As shown, the locking unit 126 has a force-applying part 1261. When the locking unit 126 changes from the unlocked state to the locked state, the force-applying part 1261 moves downward; when the locking unit 126 changes from the locked state to the unlocked state, the force-applying part 1261 moves upward. The force-applying part 1261 and the slider 125 are engaged by an inclined surface. When the force-applying part 1261 moves downward, it pushes against the slider 125, causing the slider 125 to move away from the locking unit 126. Consequently, the end of the slider 125 away from the locking unit 126 can extend into the limiting groove 223.

[0122] When the locking unit 126 is in the locked state, the end of the slider 125 away from the connector 220 abuts against the locking unit 126, thereby preventing the slider 125 from dislodging from the limiting groove 223 and preventing the connector 220 from moving away from the interface 110. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the locking unit 126; those skilled in the art can select a suitable locking unit 126 as needed. For example, a self-locking mechanism of a push-button can be used as the locking unit 126.

[0123] like Figure 17As shown, the side wall of the limiting groove 223 can be set as an arc surface. When the locking unit 126 is in the unlocked state, during the process of the user pulling out the connector 220 of the charging cable 200, the side wall of the limiting groove 223 pushes the slider 125 into one end of the limiting groove 223, so that the slider 125 is pushed out of the limiting groove 223, thereby releasing the slider 125 from limiting the position of the connector 220.

[0124] With this structure, after the plug 222 of the connector 220 is inserted into the interface 110 of the charging / discharging base 100, the user can adjust the state of the locking unit 126. The locking unit 126 can fix the connector 220 to the charging / discharging base 100, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging / discharging base 100 and the charging cable 200.

[0125] like Figures 16-18 As shown, the anti-disconnect connector also includes a button 500 and a cover 300 covering the charging / discharging base 100. One end of the button 500 is connected to the locking unit 126, and the other end of the button 500 extends out of the cover 300. The cover 300 is provided with a third hole 330 for the connector 220 to pass through.

[0126] The cover 300, after being placed on the charging / discharging base 100, can be fixed to the charging / discharging base 100 by fasteners or snap-fitting. The cover 300 has a mounting hole for the button 500 to pass through. The side of the button 500 may have a protruding eave, which abuts against the side of the cover facing the charging / discharging base 100. This design prevents the button 500 from falling off the charging / discharging base 100. In this embodiment, one end of the button 500 can abut against or be fixedly connected to the locking unit 126. After the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 passes through the third hole 330 of the cover 300 and extends into the guide groove 120, the user can press the button 500 to adjust the state of the locking unit 126.

[0127] The above settings facilitate user adjustment of the state of the locking unit 126. In addition, the cover 300 can prevent the locking unit 126 from falling off the charging / discharging base 100 by limiting the button 500.

[0128] In one possible implementation, when the cross-sectional shape and size of the guide groove 120 match the housing 221, a sealing ring 600 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 221 and / or the inner wall of the guide groove 120, and the housing 221 and the guide groove 120 are sealed by the sealing ring 600.

[0129] Specifically, the sealing ring 600 can be provided only on the outer wall of the outer casing 221, or only on the inner wall of the guide groove 120, or both the outer wall of the outer casing 221 and the inner wall of the guide groove 120 can be provided. When the sealing rings 600 are provided on the outer casing 221 and the guide groove 120 respectively, after the outer casing 221 extends into the guide groove 120, the sealing ring 600 on the outer casing 221 is on the side of the guide groove 120 that faces away from the interface 110.

[0130] Understandably, the sealing ring 600 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the outer shell 221 extends into the guide groove 120, the outer shell 221 and the guide groove 120 together compress the sealing ring 600, causing it to undergo elastic deformation. The sealing ring 600 can seal the gap between the outer shell 221 and the guide groove 120, and at the same time, it can also improve the reliability of the connection between the connector 220 and the charging / discharging base 100.

[0131] In one embodiment, such as Figure 19 As shown, the charging / discharging base 100 is provided with a fastening hole 170, and the limiting part is a through hole 2216 provided on the outer shell 221. The fastening hole 170 and the through hole 2216 are coaxially arranged. The anti-detachment structure is a limiting member 160, which includes a shaft 161 and a head 162 located at one end of the shaft 161. The shaft 161 passes through the through hole 2216, and the end of the shaft 161 away from the head 162 is locked in the fastening hole 170. The head 162 abuts against the side of the outer shell 221 away from the charging / discharging base 100.

[0132] The connector 220 can be fixed to the charging / discharging base 100 by multiple limiting members 160, for example... Figure 19 As shown, the connector 220 has through holes 2216 on both sides of the cable 210, and the connector 220 of each charging cable 200 is fixed to the charging and discharging base 100 by two limiting members 160.

[0133] For example, after the end of the shaft 161 away from the head 162 extends into the fastening hole 170, it can be locked by thread or interference fit, or a protrusion can be provided on the shaft 161 and a recess can be provided in the fastening hole 170, and the locking between the shaft 161 and the fastening hole 170 can be achieved by the cooperation between the protrusion and the recess. Optionally, when the shaft 161 and the fastening hole 170 are locked by interference fit, the cross-sectional shape of the shaft 161 can be circular or other suitable shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the fastening hole 170 and the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 2216 are respectively matched with the cross-sectional shape of the shaft 161.

[0134] Understandably, the size of the head 162 of the limiting member 160 is larger than the size of the through hole 2216, so that the head 162 of the limiting member 160 can abut against the side of the housing 221 away from the charging / discharging base 100. The head 162 of the limiting member 160 can be cylindrical, spherical, or other suitable shapes, and is not limited to one shape here.

[0135] In this structure, during the connection of connector 220 and charging / discharging base 100, the end of the shaft 161 of the limiting member 160 away from the head 162 can be inserted into the fastening hole 170 of the charging / discharging base 100. In this way, the limiting member 160 can guide the connector 220. After the plug 222 of connector 220 is inserted into the interface 110 of charging / discharging base 100, the user can adjust the limiting member 160 so that the head 162 of the limiting member 160 abuts against the outer shell 221 of connector 220, locking the end of the shaft 161 away from the head 162 in the fastening hole 170. The limiting member 160 fixes connector 220 and charging / discharging base 100, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between connector 220 and charging / discharging base 100.

[0136] This application also provides a scooter, including a frame and the aforementioned anti-detachment connector, wherein the charging / discharging socket 100 of the anti-detachment connector is mounted on the frame.

[0137] The charging / discharging socket 100 can be installed on the handlebar stem, pedals, or shifters of the vehicle body, etc., and is optional. Figure 19 As shown, quick-release buckles 180 can be provided on both sides of the charging / discharging socket 100, and the charging / discharging socket 100 can be engaged and connected to the vehicle body through the quick-release buckles 180. A waterproof ring 700 can also be fitted on the charging / discharging socket 100 to achieve a seal between the charging / discharging socket 100 and the vehicle body.

[0138] The scooter provided in this application, due to the adoption of the aforementioned anti-detachment connector, allows the connector 220 of the charging cable 200 to be reliably fixed on the charging and discharging base 100, ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the charging cable 200 and the charging and discharging base 100 even when the scooter encounters bumps during its ride.

[0139] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
