Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of portable power supply products, and specifically relates to a charging box that can charge at the same end. Background Technology

[0002] For reusable dry cell batteries such as lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium batteries, a charging case is usually required to charge them.

[0003] Currently, battery cases designed to charge dry cell batteries typically only support 220V household power and cannot charge other electronic devices, resulting in a limitation in their single usage mode.

[0004] To address this issue, patent application number 201821612469.0 discloses a portable charging and power supply device with detachable standard batteries. It includes a casing, a PCB board, positive and negative electrode plates connected to the PCB board, and a discharge and charging interface on the PCB board. The casing can hold cylindrical or square standard lithium batteries, which can be removed for use. The charging case can both charge standard lithium batteries via the charging interface and charge external electronic devices using standard lithium batteries via the discharge interface, increasing the usability of the charging case and expanding its application scenarios.

[0005] However, in the charging box disclosed in the above patent, the positive and negative terminals for charging are located at both ends of the charging compartment. During charging, in order to ensure that the battery is tightly connected to the positive and negative terminals of the PCB board, both ends of the battery need to be pressed tightly inside the charging compartment. At the same time, when the positive and negative terminals are located at the two ends respectively, charging lines need to be equipped at both ends of the charging compartment, which makes the product structure more complex and the production more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above problems, the primary objective of this utility model is to provide a charging box that can charge at the same end, with the positive and negative terminals of the battery located at the same end of the charging compartment. During charging, there is no need to press the two ends of the battery together, making charging more convenient.

[0007] Another objective of this invention is to provide a charging box that can be charged from the same end, eliminating the need for charging lines at both ends of the charging compartment, thus simplifying the product's structure and manufacturing process.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0016] Furthermore, the box body includes an upper cover and a bottom shell. An upper inner liner is provided inside the upper cover, and the upper cover is fixedly connected to the upper inner liner. A bottom inner liner is provided inside the bottom shell, and the bottom shell is fixedly connected to the bottom inner liner. One end of the upper inner liner is rotatably connected to the bottom inner liner, and the other end is openably connected to the bottom inner liner, so that the upper cover and the bottom shell form a flip-top connection structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower end of the upper inner liner is provided with a rotating protrusion, and the two ends of the rotating protrusion are provided with rotating shafts. The upper end of the bottom inner liner is provided with a rotating position, and the side wall of the rotating position is provided with a shaft hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the mounting slot is provided in more than one way, which can charge more than one dry cell battery at the same time.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the charging box of this utility model sets the positive and negative charging terminals at the same end of the charging compartment, and is equipped with a battery that can be charged at the same end. During charging, there is no need to press the two ends of the battery together, making charging more convenient. At the same time, this type of charging box design eliminates the need to set charging lines at both ends of the charging compartment, making the product structure and manufacturing process simpler.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] See Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a charging box capable of charging at the same end, including: a box body 1, a control board 2, and a charging positive electrode 3 and a charging negative electrode 4 connected to the control board 2. The box body 1 is provided with a charging compartment 5 for placing a battery 100, and the charging positive electrode 3 and the charging negative electrode 4 are located at the same end of the charging compartment 5.

[0032] See Figure 8 This embodiment can be used with standard lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and nickel-cadmium dry cell batteries of sizes 1.5V, 3V, and 9V (sizes 1, 2, 5, and 7) with both positive and negative electrodes on the same end. See also Figure 5 When the dry cell battery is installed in the charging compartment 5, the positive terminal 101 of the battery 100 contacts the positive charging terminal 3 of the charging compartment, and the negative terminal 102 of the battery 100 contacts the negative charging terminal 4 of the charging compartment. During charging, there is no need to press the two ends of the battery 100 together, making charging more convenient. At the same time, the charging compartment with this structural design does not need to have charging lines at both ends of the charging compartment 5, which simplifies the product structure and manufacturing process.

[0033] Specifically, the control board 2 uses a multi-functional PCB board with charge and discharge protection function and charge and discharge control function.

[0034] For details, see Figure 3 The charging compartment 5 has an opening 51 at its upper end for inserting and removing the battery 100. The control board 2 is located at the lower end of the charging compartment 5. Correspondingly, the positive charging terminal 3 and the negative charging terminal 4 are mounted on the control board 2, also located at the lower end of the charging compartment 5. During charging, the user can insert the battery 100 into the charging compartment 5 through the opening 51. After charging, the user can remove the battery 100 through the opening 51. When inserting the battery 100, the positive and negative terminals at the lower end of the battery 100 connect to the positive charging terminal 3 and the negative charging terminal 4 of the charging compartment, respectively. As long as the lower end is firmly attached to the charging compartment 5, normal charging is guaranteed, making charging more convenient.

[0035] For details, see Figure 6The control board 2 is provided with a first conductive post 6. The bottom of the first conductive post 6 is electrically connected to the control board 2, and the upper end of the first conductive post 6 forms a charging negative electrode 4.

This can ensure the stability of the charging structure and save the space occupied by the conductive pin, which helps to reduce the size of the product and facilitates the portable use of the product.

[0037] Specifically, the control board 2 is also connected to a bidirectional charging interface 8, which extends through and is exposed in the housing 1. In this embodiment, the charging box can both charge the standard battery 100 by connecting a regular 5V adapter through the bidirectional charging interface 8, and also charge external electronic products using the standard battery 100 through the bidirectional charging interface 8. This allows the charging box to simultaneously charge the battery 100 and power external electronic products, increasing the usage possibilities of the charging box and expanding its application scenarios.

[0038] Specifically, the bidirectional charging interface 8 adopts a standard Type-C interface, which integrates charging and discharging functions into one interface, avoiding the need to install multiple electrical interfaces on the housing 1. This simplifies the structure and makes the product more aesthetically pleasing.

The openable / closed connection between the upper inner liner 13 and the bottom inner liner 14 can be achieved using a magnetic attraction method, which has the advantages of stable closure and convenient opening.

[0042] Specifically, the lower end of the upper inner liner 13 is provided with a rotating protrusion 15, and the two ends of the rotating protrusion 15 are provided with rotating shafts 16.
