[0041] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application, and not to limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that, in order to facilitate the description, only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings, not all the structures.

In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used to distinguish in description, and have no special meaning.

[0045] In order to prolong the endurance time of the virtual device, a mobile power supply is usually additionally installed on the virtual device, but the mobile power supply will cause the virtual device to be unstable in the center of gravity, and when the virtual device is placed on the desktop, the mobile power supply will lift the virtual device. Therefore, when the virtual device is charging, the virtual device is far away from the charging device, and the charging end on the virtual device and the power supply end on the charging device are easy to be misaligned, and the virtual device is difficult to achieve stable and reliable charging.

[0046] In order to solve the above technical problems, see Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the present application, a VR device charging device is provided, which comprises a base 1, a charging adapter 2 and a power supply connector 3. The base 1 is provided with a charging bin 11, and the inner recess shape of the charging bin 11 matches the outer shape of the VR device 10; when the VR device 10 needs to be charged, the VR device 10 can be arranged in the charging bin 11 on the base 1, and since the inner recess shape of the charging bin 11 matches the outer shape of the VR device 10, the VR device 10 in the charging bin 11 is stable in the center of gravity and is not easy to fall. In addition, the VR device 10 can be placed in the charging bin 11, and the control handle 30 can also be placed in the charging bin 11 to achieve charging.

[0047] See Figure 8 When the base 1 charges the VR device 10, the power supply connector 3 on the base 1 is not directly connected with the charging interface 23 of the VR device 10, but a charging adapter 2 is arranged on the charging interface 23, and then the power supply connector 3 is connected with the charging adapter 2 to achieve charging of the VR device 10. The charging adapter 2 has a first connector 21 and a charging connector 22, the first connector 21 can be inserted into the charging interface 23 of the VR device 10, and the charging connector 22 is provided with a charging contact 24. The base 1 is provided with a mounting hole 12, the first end of the power supply connector 3 passes through the mounting hole 12 and is arranged in the inner cavity of the base 1, the diameter of the mounting hole 12 is greater than the diameter of the first end of the power supply connector 3, and the power supply connector 3 is provided with a power supply contact 35. When the VR device 10 is arranged in the charging bin 11, the charging adapter 2 can be magnetically connected with the power supply connector 3, and the power supply contact 35 is electrically connected with the charging contact 24.

[0048] In the technical solution provided in the application, the first end of the power supply connector 3 is placed in the inner cavity of the base 1 through the mounting hole 12, the diameter of the mounting hole 12 is larger than the diameter of the first end of the power supply connector, and the first end of the power supply connector 3 can have multiple degrees of freedom relative to the mounting hole 12. When the charging adapter 2 is magnetically connected with the power supply connector 3, the power supply connector 3 is more likely to be connected with the charging adapter 2 on the VR device 10, and the connection is more stable and reliable after the connection.

[0049] For reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to effectively support the VR device 10, the edge of the charging bin 11 has an annular bin wall 111, the annular bin wall 111 is provided with a recess structure 112, and the mounting hole 12 is located at the bottom of the recess structure 112. The power supply connector 3 has a power supply end 31 and a cable end 32, the power supply end 31 is arranged in the recess structure 112, and the cable end 32 is arranged in the inner cavity of the base 1 through the mounting hole 12. Arranging the power supply end 31 in the recess structure can provide a certain protection for the power supply end 31. When the VR device 10 is placed on the charging bin 11, the power supply end 31 can leak out of the recess structure, as shown in Figure 7 , to be magnetically connected with the charging adapter 2 connected to the VR device 10. When there is no VR device 10 on the charging bin 11, the power supply end 31 can be reset to the recess structure, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0050] For reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one specific implementation, the diameter of the power supply end 31 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 12, and the diameter of the cable end 32 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 12. When the power supply end 31 leaks out, the cable end 32 can swing in different directions in the mounting hole 12. It can be understood that when the cable end 32 swings in different directions in the mounting hole 12, the power supply end 31 has a certain range of freedom in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions of the plane on which the charging bin 11 is located. Therefore, the power supply end 31 can have more degrees of freedom, and the power supply end 31 can be more flexible in docking with the charging adapter 2.

[0051] Further, the recess structure 112 has an expanding shape with a large upper opening and a small lower opening, and when the charging adapter 2 is magnetically connected with the power supply connector 3, the power supply end 31 can be extended and inclined to swing along the axis direction of the recess structure 112. As shown in Figure 7In the technical solution provided in the present application, the power supply end 31 can move freely in multiple directions, and under the action of magnetic attraction, the power supply end 31 is more likely to be magnetically connected to the charging connector 22. When the VR device 10 is placed on the charging compartment 11 in an incorrect position, the power supply end 31 can still be stably connected to the charging connector 22.

[0052] Further, the charging adapter 2 is provided with a first magnetic member 25, and the power supply end 31 is provided with a second magnetic member 33, and the first magnetic member 25 can be magnetically connected to the second magnetic member 33. Specifically, the charging adapter 2 has a first mounting position, and the first magnetic member 25 is bonded to the first mounting position, and the power supply end 31 has a second mounting position, and the second magnetic member 33 is bonded to the second mounting position. The first magnetic member 25 and the second magnetic member 33 are magnets, or one is a magnet and the other is a ferromagnetic material.

[0053] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In an embodiment provided in the present application, the cable end 32 is provided with an elastic member 321, a first pressing plate 322 and a second pressing plate 323; the first pressing plate 322 and the second pressing plate 323 are arranged on the cable end 32 in a spaced manner, and the elastic member 321 is arranged between the first pressing plate 322 and the second pressing plate 323; specifically, the first pressing plate 322 abuts against one side (the inner side) of the mounting hole 12, and the second pressing plate 323 is located close to the end of the cable end 32, and a fixed block 36 is arranged at the end of the cable end 32, and the second pressing plate 323 abuts against the fixed block 36. The elastic member 321 is a spring, which is sleeved on the cable end 32, one end of the spring abuts against the first pressing plate 322, and the other end of the spring abuts against the second pressing plate 323, and the spring is in a compressed state. When the power supply end 31 extends outward under the action of magnetic force, the cable end 32 will also move upward synchronously, and the spring will be further compressed. When the VR device 10 is removed from the charging compartment 11, the elastic force of the spring will drive the power supply connector 3 to reset into the recessed structure 112.

[0054] To meet the power supply requirements of the power supply terminal 31, a cable 324 is connected to the cable end 32. The cable 324 is arranged along the length of the cable end 32 and connected to the power supply contact 35 of the power supply terminal 31. The cable 324 is electrically connected to the circuit board 34 in the inner cavity of the base 1. The circuit board 34 can be a charging circuit board or a control circuit board on the base 1. The circuit board 34 can provide a suitable power supply to the power supply contact 35 through the cable 324. When the cable end 32 moves up and down, the cable 324 will also move up and down with the cable end 32.

[0055] As mentioned above, when cable end 32 moves up and down, cable 324 will also move up and down accordingly. In this situation, cable 324 will come into contact with and rub against the circuit board or other structures inside the base 1. With repeated movements, cable 324 is prone to wear. To avoid this situation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment provided in this application, the VR device charging device further includes a cable management device 4. One end of the cable management device 4 is connected to the base 1 by a screw, and the other end is located at one end of the cable end 32. The cable management device 4 has a cable management hole 41, and the cable 324 on the cable end 32 is disposed in the cable management hole 41. When the cable end 32 moves up and down, the cable 324 will slide in the cable management hole 41 to perform the function of cable management. The cable management device 4 can straighten the cable 324, which can avoid contact and wear with other structures and prevent it from getting bent and tangled.

[0056] See Figure 3 In one embodiment provided in this application, the charging adapter 2 includes a housing 26 and an adapter circuit module 27. The adapter circuit module 27 is disposed in the housing 26, and the first connector 21 and the charging connector 22 are respectively connected to the adapter circuit module 27. The adapter circuit module 27 includes a power control chip, a protocol chip, etc. When the charging adapter 2 is connected to the charging connector 22, the adapter circuit module 27 can provide an appropriate charging current for the VR device 10.

[0057] See also Figure 8 In one specific embodiment, the first connector 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the housing 26, and the charging connector 22 is arranged along the radial direction of the housing 26. The first connector 21 and the charging connector 22 are arranged in different directions, which not only facilitates the connection of the first connector 21 to the charging interface 23 of the VR device 10, but also facilitates the connection of the power supply end 31 to the charging connector 22.

[0058] See Figure 3 and Figure 8In a specific use scenario, the charging contact 24 and the first magnetic member 25 are fixed into the slot of the shell 26 through a riveting and dispensing process, the adapter circuit module 27 is assembled into the cavity of the shell 26 through the positioning column in the shell of the shell 26, the SMT (Surface Mounted Technology) spring sheet on the adapter circuit module 27 is in contact with the charging contact 24 to form a conduction path, the upper cover 261 of the shell 26 is fixed to the shell 26 through the buckle matching of the shell 26 and the bone site designed on the upper cover 261 combined with the dispensing process, and the upper cover 261, the adapter circuit module 27 and the shell 26 are adhered and fixed together.

[0059] Referring to Figure 8 In an embodiment provided in the present application, the charging adapter 2 further has a second connector 28 arranged on the adapter circuit module 27. Specifically, the arrangement direction of the second connector 28 is opposite to that of the charging connector 22. The second connector 28 can not only be used to supply power to an external second device (such as a headset), but also can be directly connected with a charging line to charge the VR device 10 through the second connector 28.

[0060] Further referring to Figure 1 、 Figures 4 to 7 The VR device charging device further includes a support seat 5, and the base 1 is arranged on the support seat 5 in an inclined manner, and the charging bin 11 is also inclined relative to the horizontal plane. Generally, the external mobile power supply 20 is arranged on the rear side of the VR device 10, and when the VR device 10 is charged, only the main body of the VR device 10 is located in the charging bin 11, and the mobile power supply 20 will inevitably cause the VR device 10 to be unstable in the charging bin 11. When the base 1 is arranged on the support seat 5 in an inclined manner, the VR device 10 is also arranged in an inclined manner in the charging bin 11. This is conducive to the stability of the VR device 10, and the VR device 10 is not easy to fall when placed in the charging bin 11.

[0061] In addition, in order to further improve the stability of the VR device 10 in the charging bin 11, the support seat 5 further includes a support frame 51, which is located at the rear of the base 1 along the inclined direction of the base 1. Specifically, when the VR device 10 is arranged in the charging bin 11 in an inclined manner, the mobile power supply 20 is located on the support frame 51, and the support frame 51 can effectively support the mobile power supply 20, so that the center of gravity of the entire VR device 10 is more stable.

[0062] Referring to Figure 5In the specific assembly scenario of the power supply joint 3, the upper shell 311 and the lower shell 312 of the power supply end 31, the power supply contact 35 and the second magnetic member 33 are fixed into the slot of the upper shell 311 through riveting and gluing process, the stop valve of the end of the cable end 32 is penetrated into the shell of the lower shell 312 through the through hole, the positive and negative polar conductors of the cable end 32 are welded to the power supply contact 35 respectively, and the upper shell 311 is adhered and fixed to the lower shell 312 and the cable end 32 through the double effects of the hole column and the glue.

[0063] In summary, in the technical scheme of the application, the first end of the power supply joint is placed in the inner cavity of the base through the mounting hole, the diameter of the mounting hole is greater than the diameter of the first end of the power supply interface, and the first end of the power supply joint has multiple degrees of freedom relative to the mounting hole. When the charging adapter is magnetically connected with the power supply joint, the power supply joint is more easily connected with the charging adapter on the VR device, and the connection is more stable and reliable after the connection.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, but not to limit them; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application.
