[0001] This application relates to the technical field of shared power banks, and in particular to a charging cabinet host and a charging cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of shared power banks in people's daily lives, shared power bank cabinets are suitable for various public places such as shopping malls, train stations, airports, and hotels, providing users with convenient charging services. Shared power bank cabinets are intelligent, convenient, and safe charging devices that support returning power banks in different locations, effectively solving the problem of charging difficulties when users are out and about, and have broad application prospects.

[0003] The charging cabinet main unit is a crucial component of shared power bank cabinets. A power module, typically housed within the main unit's casing, provides power for its operation. Currently, the assembly of the power module to the casing is usually achieved by first installing the power module onto a mounting bracket, which is then secured to the casing. Since mounting brackets are required to attach the power module to the casing, this process makes the overall assembly of the charging cabinet main unit cumbersome and costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a charging cabinet host and a charging cabinet that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A charging cabinet main unit, the charging cabinet main unit includes:

[0007] The outer shell has an inwardly formed accommodating cavity;

[0008] A power module is disposed within the accommodating cavity and abuts against and is connected to the outer shell. It is used to electrically connect to an external power source to convert the input voltage of the external power source into a device voltage, which is used as the operating voltage of the charging compartment assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment, the power module is screwed to the housing.

[0010] In one embodiment, the charging cabinet host further includes a main control board, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity and abuts against and is connected to the outer shell;

[0011] The main control board is set up independently of the power module and is electrically connected to the power module.

[0012] In one embodiment, the charging cabinet host further includes a speaker module, which is independently configured relative to the main control board and electrically connected to the main control board;

[0013] The speaker module is disposed within the accommodating cavity and abuts against and is connected to the outer shell.

[0014] In one embodiment, the charging cabinet host further includes a viewing window and a light-emitting component, the light-emitting component being disposed within the receiving cavity and connected to the outer shell;

[0015] The window is positioned on the light emission path of the light-emitting component and is used for interaction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the light-emitting component includes a backlight bracket and a backlight panel, the backlight panel being mounted at one end of the backlight bracket and the viewing window being mounted at the other end of the backlight bracket;

[0017] The diameter of the backlight bracket gradually increases from the backlight panel toward the viewing window, and the inner peripheral wall of the backlight bracket can reflect the light generated by the backlight panel.

[0018] This application also claims protection for a charging cabinet, including a charging compartment assembly and the charging cabinet host described above;

[0019] The main unit of the charging cabinet is installed on the charging compartment assembly in a stacked manner, wherein the power module and the main control board are electrically connected to the charging compartment assembly.

[0020] In one embodiment, the charging compartment assembly is detachably connected to the charging cabinet host.

[0021] In one embodiment, the charging case assembly includes a plurality of charging case modules, which are arranged in a stacked manner and are electrically connected to the power module respectively.

[0022] Among the multiple charging compartment modules, two adjacent charging compartment modules are detachably connected.

[0023] In one embodiment, each of the charging case modules includes a power cord, and multiple power cords are electrically connected to the power module in parallel.

[0024] Due to the application of the above solution, this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0025] The charging cabinet host and charging cabinet that this application claims protection have a power module that is directly connected to the outer casing, thus eliminating the need for a mounting bracket. This facilitates the assembly of the power module onto the outer casing and reduces costs. At the same time, the power module inside the charging cabinet host converts the input voltage into the device voltage and uses it to power the charging compartment components, thus eliminating the need for a power module inside the charging compartment components. This further reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the charging cabinet using this charging cabinet host. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature and the second feature are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 10 This application provides a charging cabinet host 100, including a housing 10 and a power module 20. The housing 10 has an inwardly formed accommodating cavity 11. The power module 20 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 11 and abuts against and is connected to the housing 10. It is used to electrically connect to an external power source (not shown) to convert the input voltage of the external power source into a device voltage, which is used as the operating voltage of the charging compartment assembly 200. Specifically, the power module 20 abuts against and is connected to the housing 10, meaning that the power module 20 is pressed against the housing 10 and fixedly connected to it. It should be noted that the power module 20 can be a power adapter, transformer, etc.

[0044] It is understandable that since the power module 20 is directly connected to the housing 10, the mounting bracket can be eliminated, which facilitates the assembly of the power module 20 on the housing 10 and thus reduces costs. At the same time, the power module 20 inside the charging cabinet host 100 converts the input voltage into the device voltage and uses it to power the charging compartment assembly 200, which eliminates the need for the power module 20 inside the charging compartment assembly 200. This further reduces the overall manufacturing cost of the charging cabinet 1 that uses the charging cabinet host 100.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the power module 20 is screwed to the housing 10. This facilitates the assembly of the power module 20 onto the housing 10. Here, a first connector 12 is formed on the housing 10. The power module 20 and the housing 10 can be connected by screwing a self-tapping screw, bolt (not shown), or other connector passing through the power module 20 to the first connector 12. The connector is used to press and limit the power module 20 onto the first connector 12, thereby realizing the screwing connection between the power module 20 and the housing 10.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the charging cabinet host 100 further includes a main control board 30. The main control board 30 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 11 and abuts against and is connected to the outer casing 10. The main control board 30 is independently disposed relative to the power module 20 and is electrically connected to the power module 20. Since the main control board 30, independent of the power module 20, is directly connected to the outer casing 10, the assembly of the main control board 30 and the power module 20 on the outer casing 10 does not affect each other, and the assembly of the main control board 30 on the outer casing 10 is convenient, thus reducing costs. Here, the main control board 30 is a printed circuit board, which can be used to transmit various electronic signals, process data, or provide algorithms for QR code payment.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the charging cabinet host 100 further includes a speaker module 40, which is independently configured relative to the main control board 30 and electrically connected to the main control board 30. The speaker module 40 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 11 and abuts against and is connected to the outer casing 10. This configuration allows the charging cabinet host 100 to use the voice broadcast of the speaker module 40 to remind users of the borrowing and returning of power banks (not shown), so that users can borrow and return power banks at the charging cabinet 1 equipped with the charging cabinet host 100. At the same time, the speaker module 40 is directly connected to the outer casing 10, which facilitates the assembly of the speaker module 40 on the outer casing 10 and reduces costs.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the charging cabinet host 100 further includes a window 50 and a light-emitting component 60. The light-emitting component 60 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 11 and connected to the outer casing 10; the window 50 is disposed on the light-emitting path of the light-emitting component 60 and is used for interaction. This allows the window 50 on the charging cabinet host 100 to be illuminated, increasing the visibility of the window 50 and facilitating user interaction with it. Here, the window 50 can be used for promotional graphics, text, etc., or a QR code can be set on the window 50. When the light-emitting component 60 is working, illuminating the QR code on the window 50 can increase the visibility of the QR code on the window 50, thus making it easier for users to scan the QR code and borrow or return power banks from the charging cabinet 1 equipped with the charging cabinet host 100.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the light-emitting component 60 includes a backlight bracket 61 and a backlight panel 62. The backlight panel 62 is mounted at one end of the backlight bracket 61, and the viewing window 50 is mounted at the other end of the backlight bracket 61. The diameter of the backlight bracket 61 gradually increases from the backlight panel 62 toward the viewing window 50, and the inner peripheral wall 611 of the backlight bracket 61 can reflect the light generated by the backlight panel 62. It can be understood that by using the backlight panel 62 to reflect the light generated when the backlight bracket 61 is working, the uniformity of the light when it finally hits the viewing window 50 can be improved. This can further improve the prominence of the viewing window 50, and also reduce the number of LEDs 621 on the backlight panel 62, thus reducing costs. Here, the inner peripheral wall 611 of the backlight bracket 61 is set as a mirror, and the mirror is used to reflect the light.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the charging cabinet host 100 further includes a power connection cable 70, the power module 20 is electrically connected to the power connection cable 70, and the power module 20 is electrically connected to an external power supply through the power connection cable 70.

[0051] This application also claims protection for a charging cabinet 1, including a charging compartment assembly 200 and the aforementioned charging cabinet host 100; the charging cabinet host 100 is installed on the charging compartment assembly 200 in a stacked manner, wherein the power module 20 and the main control board 30 are electrically connected to the charging compartment assembly 200 respectively.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment, the charging case assembly 200 includes multiple charging case modules 210 arranged in a stacked manner and electrically connected to the power module 20 respectively; wherein, two adjacent charging case modules 210 are detachably connected. This enables a modular design of the charging cabinet 1, allowing the charging case modules 210 to be manufactured individually. This allows the charging cabinet 1 to select the number of charging case modules 210 according to usage requirements, thus reducing the cost of the charging cabinet 1 when facing different numbers of power banks.

[0053] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, two adjacent charging compartment modules 210 are respectively a first charging compartment module 211 and a second charging compartment module 212. The first charging compartment module 211 includes a first housing 2111, and the second charging compartment module 212 includes a second housing 2121. A hook 2112 is formed at the lower end of the first housing 2111, and a slot plate 2122 is formed at the upper end of the second housing 2121. The hook 2112 and the slot plate 2122 are engaged to realize the assembly connection between the two adjacent charging compartment modules 210.

[0054] It should be noted that in order to allow three, four, or even more charging compartment modules 210 to be stacked, each charging compartment module 210 can have a slot plate 2122 formed at the upper end and a hook 2112 formed at the lower end in the height direction of the charging compartment module 210.

[0055] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the charging compartment assembly 200 is detachably connected to the charging cabinet host 100. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the charging compartment assembly 200 and the charging cabinet host 100, allowing users to replace the charging cabinet host 100 according to their needs. Specifically, the charging cabinet host 100 can be replaced with a display module (not shown). The display module is installed inside the housing 10 and electrically connected to the main control board 30, enabling user interaction. It should be noted that the aforementioned display module can be used to play animations, display advertisements, and set QR codes, etc.

[0056] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, a hook 2112 is formed at the lower end of the outer shell 10. The hook 2112 and the slot plate 2122 of the first shell 2111 are engaged to realize the assembly connection between the outer shell 10 and the first shell 2111, thereby realizing the assembly connection between the charging cabinet host 100 and the first charging compartment module 211.

[0057] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a second connecting seat 2113 is formed on the first housing 2111. The outer shell 10 and the first housing 2111 can be connected to the second connecting seat 2113 by a connecting member 300 such as a self-tapping screw or bolt passing through the outer shell 10, so as to achieve the connection and fixation between the outer shell 10 and the first housing 2111. It can be understood that on the basis of the connection between the outer shell 10 and the first housing 2111 by a snap-fit ​​engagement, the connecting member 300 is used to connect the outer shell 10 and the first housing 2111. In this way, the connection stability when connecting the charging cabinet host 100 and the first charging compartment module 211 can be improved.

[0058] In one embodiment, each charging case module 210 includes a power cord (not shown), and multiple power cords are electrically connected to the power module 20 in parallel. This allows each charging case module 210 to receive the device voltage converted by the power module 20 as its operating voltage. Consequently, it eliminates the need to house the power module 20 within each charging case module 210, allowing for a smaller design as the assembly space for the power module 20 does not need to be considered during the design phase. Here, the power cords and the power module 20 can be electrically connected using quick-connect connectors.

[0059] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
