Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic products, and in particular to a rotatable charging structure for electronic products. Background Technology
[0002] Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard and an input / output interface technology specification. Because USB interfaces support plug-and-play and hot-swapping of devices, an increasing number of electronic products are choosing USB as their connection interface. USB is widely used in personal computers and mobile devices, and its applications are expanding to other related fields such as photographic equipment, digital televisions, and game consoles.
[0003] In practical use, due to the varying shapes of different electronic products, it's common to encounter situations where an electronic product can only be successfully connected when rotated to a certain angle. However, since charging ports are usually fixedly mounted on electronic products, when the product rotates, the charging port also rotates, making it impossible to insert the charging port into the corresponding slot, rendering the electronic product unusable in certain scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rotatable charging structure for electronic products. When in use, the charging interface can be rotated as needed, thus adapting to various different usage scenarios, and ensuring that the connection lines will not be twisted when the charging interface is rotated.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] A rotatable charging structure for electronic products includes a housing of the electronic product and a charging interface, characterized in that: it further includes a rotating base, which is rotatably mounted on the housing; the charging interface is disposed on the rotating base and is directly electrically connected to the circuit of the electronic product via a line; a limiting mechanism is also provided between the rotating base and the housing to limit the rotation amplitude of the rotating base.
[0007] In use, the aforementioned rotatable charging structure rotates via a rotating base, allowing the charging interface to rotate at various angles within a defined range, depending on the available space at the desired insertion location and the orientation of the electronic product. This rotatable charging structure allows the charging interface to rotate relative to the electronic product without being affected by the product's varying rotation angles, making it suitable for various scenarios. Simultaneously, the charging interface, under the action of a limiting mechanism, can rotate freely only within a defined angle range. Within this range, it ensures that the charging interface matches the rotation angle of the electronic product, and that the wiring between the charging interface and the electronic product's circuitry does not become twisted or disconnected. Therefore, the connection between the charging interface and the electronic product's circuitry requires no additional adapters; it allows for direct electrical connection via wiring.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a first limiting block and at least one second limiting block. The first limiting block is disposed on the rotating seat, and the second limiting block is disposed in the housing and on the movement trajectory of the first limiting block. When there is one second limiting block, the rotating seat can rotate arbitrarily within the range of 0-360° without causing the wiring to twist due to infinite rotation beyond 360°. When there are two second limiting blocks, under the restriction of the two second limiting blocks, when the rotating seat rotates a certain angle, the first limiting block will contact the second limiting block, at which point the rotating seat cannot continue to rotate. Through this setting, the rotating seat can be made to rotate only within a limited angle range.
[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, there are two second limiting blocks, with the rotation center of the rotating seat as the center, and the central angle between the two second limiting blocks is 90°. Typically, the charging interface only needs to rotate arbitrarily within the range of 0-90° to meet the needs of various scenarios.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the outer casing is provided with a first through hole that matches the rotating seat, the rotating seat is rotatably installed in the first through hole of the outer casing, and the upper surface of the rotating seat is flush with the upper surface of the outer casing.
[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the rotatable charging structure further includes a flip-up component, which is rotatably mounted on the rotating base. The charging interface is mounted on the flip-up component. The rotating base has a notch, and the outer casing has a first groove corresponding to the notch. The first groove communicates with the first through hole. The notch matches the shape of the flip-up component, and the first groove matches the shape of the charging interface. When not in use, the flip-up component can be flipped over, hiding the flip-up component and the charging interface in the notch and the first groove. When needed, the flip-up component can be flipped up to make the charging interface stand up.
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, the flipping component has rotating shafts at both ends; the rotating base includes a first rotating disk and a second rotating disk, the first rotating disk has a second groove and two third grooves, the second groove matches the flipping component, and the bottom of the second groove has a thread hole; the two third grooves are respectively located on both sides of the second groove, and the third grooves match the rotating shafts of the flipping component; the second rotating disk has a second through hole that matches the second groove, and the notch is opened on the second rotating disk and communicates with the second through hole; the lower surface of the second rotating disk has two fourth grooves, and the fourth grooves correspond one-to-one with the third grooves; the first rotating disk and the second rotating disk are detachably connected, and the flipping component is rotatably clamped between the first rotating disk and the second rotating disk via the rotating shafts; the first limiting block is set on the outer side of the first rotating disk or the second rotating disk. When installing the flip-up component, first place it in the second groove of the first rotating disk, at which point the two rotating shafts are respectively in the two third grooves. Then, cover the second rotating disk with the flip-up component, at which point the two rotating shafts are between the third and fourth grooves. The flip-up component can be exposed through the second through hole and can freely flip via the rotating shafts. The wiring can connect the charging interface and the electronic product's circuitry through the wire hole. The connection between the first and second rotating disks can be achieved using a positioning pin and positioning hole, a spline and spline hole, or by directly using bolts for locking.
[0013] In a further preferred embodiment, the lower side of the second rotating disk has an outwardly extending flange. The second rotating disk protrudes from the outside of the outer casing through the first through hole, and the flange contacts the inner wall surface of the outer casing. The first limiting block is disposed on the flange. When installing the rotating seat, the second rotating disk can be directly exposed from the inside of the outer casing through the first through hole. In this case, the rotating seat cannot extend further out of the first through hole due to the restriction of the flange. Typically, the rotating seat can also be connected to the outer casing via a rotating shaft.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the charging interface is a USB-A interface or a USB-C interface.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when using this rotatable charging structure, the charging interface can be rotated as needed, thus adapting to various different usage scenarios, and ensuring that the connection lines will not be twisted when the charging interface is rotated.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0022] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 The rotatable charging structure for electronic products shown includes a housing 1, a charging interface 2, and a rotating base 3. The charging interface 2 is disposed on the rotating base 3 and is directly electrically connected to the circuit of the electronic product through a line. A limiting mechanism 4 is also provided between the rotating base 3 and the housing 1 to limit the rotation range of the rotating base 3.
[0023] In use, the aforementioned rotatable charging structure rotates via the rotating base 3 according to the space available at the desired insertion location and the orientation of the electronic product. This allows the charging interface 2 to rotate at various angles within a defined range. This rotatable charging structure allows the charging interface 2 to rotate relative to the electronic product without being affected by different rotation angles of the product, making it suitable for various scenarios. Simultaneously, the charging interface 2, under the action of the limiting mechanism 4, can rotate arbitrarily only within a defined angle range. Within this range, it ensures that the charging interface 2 matches the rotation angle of the electronic product, and that the wiring between the charging interface 2 and the electronic product's circuitry does not become twisted or disconnected. Therefore, the connection between the charging interface 2 and the electronic product's circuitry requires no additional adapters and can be directly electrically connected via wiring.
[0024] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a first limiting block 401 and two second limiting blocks 402. The first limiting block 401 is mounted on the rotating seat 3, and the two second limiting blocks 402 are respectively mounted in the outer casing 1 and located on the movement trajectory of the first limiting block 401. With the rotation center of the rotating seat 3 as the center, the central angle between the two second limiting blocks 402 is 90°. Under the restriction of the two second limiting blocks 402, when the rotating seat 3 rotates a certain angle, the first limiting block 401 will contact the second limiting blocks 402, at which point the rotating seat 3 cannot continue to rotate. Through this setting, the rotating seat 3 can only rotate within a limited angle range. Typically, the charging interface 2 only needs to rotate arbitrarily within the range of 0-90° to meet the needs of various scenarios.
[0025] The outer casing 1 is provided with a first through hole 101 that matches the rotating seat 3. The rotating seat 3 is rotatably installed in the first through hole 101 of the outer casing 1, and the upper surface of the rotating seat 3 is flush with the upper surface of the outer casing 1.
[0026] The rotatable charging structure also includes a flip-up component 5, which is rotatably mounted on a rotating base 3. The charging interface 2 is mounted on the flip-up component 5. The rotating base 3 has a notch 301, and the outer shell 1 has a first groove 102 corresponding to the notch 301. The first groove 102 is connected to the first through hole 101. The notch 301 matches the shape of the flip-up component 5, and the first groove 102 matches the shape of the charging interface 2. When not in use, the flip-up component 5 can be flipped up to hide the flip-up component 5 and the charging interface 2 in the notch 301 and the first groove 102. When needed, the flip-up component 5 can be flipped up to make the charging interface 2 stand up.
[0027] The flipping component 5 has rotating shafts 501 at both ends; the rotating base 3 includes a first rotating disk 302 and a second rotating disk 303. The first rotating disk 302 has a second groove 3021 and two third grooves 3022. The second groove 3021 matches the flipping component 5, and the bottom of the second groove 3021 has a wire hole 3023. The two third grooves 3022 are located on both sides of the second groove 3021, and the third grooves 3022 match the rotating shafts 501 of the flipping component 5. The second rotating disk 303 has a groove that matches the second groove 3021. The second through hole 3031 has a notch 101 formed on the second rotating disk 303 and connected to the second through hole 3031; the lower surface of the second rotating disk 303 is provided with two fourth grooves 3032, which correspond one-to-one with the third groove 3022; the first rotating disk 302 and the second rotating disk 303 are detachably connected, and the flipping part 5 is rotatably clamped between the first rotating disk 302 and the second rotating disk 303 through the rotating shaft 501; the first limiting block 401 is provided on the outer side of the first rotating disk 302 or the second rotating disk 303. When installing the flipper 5, first place the flipper 5 in the second groove 3021 of the first rotating disk 302, at which point the two rotating shafts 501 are respectively located in the two third grooves 3022; then, cover the second rotating disk 303, at which point the two rotating shafts 501 are located between the third groove 3022 and the fourth groove 3032, the flipper 5 can be exposed through the second through hole 3031, and the flipper 5 can be freely flipped through the rotating shafts 501; the circuit can be connected to the charging interface 2 and the circuit of the electronic product through the wire hole. The connection method of the first rotating disk 302 and the second rotating disk 303 is to use a positioning post and positioning hole connection.
[0028] The lower side of the second rotating disk 303 is provided with an outwardly extending protruding edge 3033. The second rotating disk 303 protrudes from the outside of the outer shell 1 through the first through hole 101, and the protruding edge 3033 contacts the inner wall surface of the outer shell 1. The first limiting block 401 is provided on the protruding edge 3033. When the rotating seat 3 is installed, the second rotating disk 303 can be directly exposed from the inside of the outer shell 1 through the first through hole 101. At this time, the rotating seat 3 cannot continue to extend from the first through hole 101 due to the restriction of the protruding edge 3033.
[0029] Charging port 2 is a USB-C port.
[0030] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that the number of second limiting blocks is one. The rotating seat can rotate arbitrarily within the range of 0-360°, but will not rotate indefinitely beyond 360° to avoid twisting the circuit.
