DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The description below refers to the accompanying drawings, which show, by way of example, specific embodiments with which this disclosure can be practiced. The following description, however, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, as the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.

[0033] The conventional charging method is to insert a plug into a charging port, so that the contacts on the plug and the contacts in the charging port are in contact to conduct current. There is no component for fixing between the plug and the charging port, which results in that the plug and the device to be charged cannot be effectively fixed, and the plug and the charging port are easily damaged.

[0034] The charging port assembly of the embodiments of the present disclosure is provided to solve the above-mentioned problems. Specifically, the charging port assembly includes a charging column 10 and a charging port body 20. A first section of the charging column 10 constitutes a charging contact 11, which is used to contact the contacts on the charging end to conduct current. The charging column 10 is installed on the charging port body 20, and the charging column 10 is surrounded by the charging port body 20 to make the charging column 10 and the charging port body 20 into an integral piece. That is, unlike the conventional charging column, the charging column 10 in the embodiments of the present disclosure does not exist independently of the charging port body 20, that is, the charging port assembly 2 in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not suitable for the plug-in charging method. Wherein, referring to Figure 1 , the charging contact 11 of the charging column 10 is exposed on the first outer surface 21 of the charging port body 20. When charging, the contacts of the power supply end are contacted with the charging column 10 at the first outer surface 21, and there is no need to insert the contacts of the power supply end into the charging port for cooperation as in the conventional method.

[0035] When using this contact type charging method, in order to ensure the stability of the charging process, the electric device needs to be flatly arranged or other objects need to be used to press the electric device, so that the charging contact 11 can ensure reliable contact, resulting in a cumbersome charging process. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 , a fixing part 23 is arranged on the charging port body 20, and the fixing part 23 is used to be detachably connected with the charging end. When the electric device needs to be charged, the fixing part 23 is connected with the charging end, and when the electric device does not need to be charged, the fixing part 23 can be separated from the charging end.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixing part 23 can be provided with one or more. For example, the fixing part 23 is provided with one, that is, one fixing part is arranged on the charging port body 20. For another example, the fixing part 23 is provided with two, that is, two fixing parts 23 are arranged on the charging port body 20. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the fixing part 23 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0037] By the above scheme, the charging port assembly 2 is provided with a fixing portion 23. When the charging contact 11 is arranged to protrude out of the first outer surface 21 to charge in a contact mode outside the first outer surface 21, the fixing portion 23 can ensure that the charging process is stable and reliable, so that the charging process can be applied to more scenarios without restrictions on the placement position and the like. The contact charging mode can avoid damage to the charging column 10 and the charging port assembly 2. The charging column 10 and the charging port body 20 are constructed as an integral piece, which improves the structural stability and service life of the charging column 10, simplifies the installation structure of the charging column 10 inside the charging port assembly 2, and saves design cost and design space.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the charging is performed in a contact mode outside the first outer surface 21, it is inevitable that the first outer surface 21 will be worn during charging. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a wear-resistant layer can be arranged on the first outer surface 21, which can avoid wear and tear of the first outer surface 21 caused by the opposite hand piece and avoid wear and tear of the surface of the opposite hand piece caused by the charging port body 20. The opposite hand piece refers to the component of the power supply end, for example, when the charging port assembly is used for a mobile phone, the opposite hand piece refers to the mobile phone charger. The wear-resistant layer can be made of an insulating material.

[0039] In an embodiment, the charging port body 20 can be made of a metal material to ensure the structural strength of the charging port body 20 and ensure the service life.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 and combining Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the charging port body 20 can be formed with a receiving groove 22 and a via hole 221 communicating the receiving groove 22 and the first outer surface 21. The via hole 221 can be arranged at the groove bottom of the receiving groove 22. The charging column 10 can pass through the via hole 221. Here, passing through means that the charging column 10 can extend into the via hole 221 and can also not extend out of the via hole 221, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the charging port assembly 2 can include a plastic body 30, which is filled in the receiving groove 22 and the via hole 221 and separates the charging column 10 and the charging port body 20. When the charging port body 20 is made of a metal material, the plastic body 30 can act as an insulating piece between the charging column 10 and the metal charging port body 20 to prevent short circuit caused by contact between the charging column 10 and the charging port body 20. The second end 12 of the charging column 10 can protrude out of the plastic body 30, and the second end is the opposite end of the first end. In short, both ends of the charging column 10 protrude out of the plastic body 30 to form an electrical connection with other structures.

[0042] In other embodiments, the charging port body 20 itself can be made of insulating material. In this case, the plastic body 30 can be omitted for insulation, or the plastic body 30 can be provided for easy installation. The plastic body 30 serves to fix and insulate.

[0043] Reference Figure 8 A limiting groove 101 can be provided between the first end and the second end 12 of the charging post 10, and a limiting support plate 40 can be provided in the plastic body 30, combined with Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the limiting support plate 40 can be snapped into the limiting groove 101 to provide limiting support for the charging column 10.

[0044] Reference Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the limiting support plate 40 may include a limiting support arm 41 and a first limiting arm 421 and a second limiting arm 422 extending from the limiting support arm 41 toward a first direction. The opposite sides of the first limiting arm 421 and the second limiting arm 422 are engaged in the limiting groove 101 to support and limit the charging post 10 on both sides, ensuring the stability and reliability of the limiting.

[0045] The limiting support plate 40 may include a limiting protrusion 43 extending from the limiting support arm 41 toward a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, so as to... Figures 4 to 6 Taking the drawing orientation as an example, the first orientation is downwards, and the second orientation is upwards. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove 222 extending in the depth direction of the receiving groove 22 formed by the charging port body 20 is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 22. The limiting groove 222 can limit the limiting protrusion 43 when the plastic body 30 is installed in the receiving groove 22, so as to... Figure 7 Taking the drawing direction as an example, after the plastic body 30 is installed in the receiving groove 22, the limiting protrusion 43 is installed in the direction perpendicular to the drawing and extends into the limiting groove 222. The groove wall of the limiting groove 222 can prevent the limiting protrusion 43 from shifting in the left and right directions of the drawing, thereby ensuring the accurate position of the charging contact 11, so as to ensure that it can accurately cooperate with the counterparts and improve product quality.

[0046] In one embodiment, the number of charging posts 10 and vias 221 can be multiple, such as three as shown in the figure, or other numbers. Providing multiple charging posts 10 allows for multiple charging contacts 11, enabling the delivery of a larger current and thus increasing the charging speed.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the charging column 10 is formed into an integral piece with the plastic body 30 by injection molding, the limiting support plate 40 can be inserted into the limiting groove 101 of each charging column 10. The charging column 10 and the plastic body 30 are configured to have a pre-injection molding shape and a post-injection molding shape. The pre-injection molding shape is the shape of the charging column 10 and the plastic body 30 before injection molding, and the post-injection molding shape is the shape of the charging column 10 and the plastic body 30 after injection molding. Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is the pre-injection molding shape of the plurality of charging columns 10, Figure 5 is the intermediate state of the injection molding of the charging column 10 and the plastic body 30. In the pre-injection molding shape, as shown in Figure 4 , the plurality of limiting support plates 40 are connected into an integral piece by the detachable connecting plate 50 to limit and position the relative positions of the plurality of charging columns 10, ensure the installation accuracy, and accurately match the counterpart. Figure 5 In the intermediate state of the injection molding, as shown in Figure 5 , the limiting support plate 40 is located in the plastic body 30, and the connecting plate 50 protrudes from the plastic body 30. Before the injection molding piece is connected into an integral piece with the charging port body 20, the connecting plate 50 can be broken or cut off to reduce the occupied space. Figure 6 Figure 6 present the final completed post-injection molding state. When the connecting plate 50 is broken, the limiting protrusion 43 described above can be formed on the part protruding from the plastic body 30 to limit the injection molding piece and the charging port body 20.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 9 , the charging port assembly can include a flexible circuit board 70, which is electrically connected to the second end 12 to conduct current with the charging column 10. The flexible circuit board 70 can be used to connect with the battery.

[0049] The charging port assembly 2 can further include a circuit support plate 80, which can be arranged at the end of the flexible circuit board 70 away from the charging column 10 to support the flexible circuit board 70, ensure that the flexible circuit board 70 does not overlap or wrinkle, and ensure the use reliability.

[0050] The above-mentioned adhesive layer 60 can be glued at the end of the flexible circuit board 70 away from the charging column 10 to protect the connection between the flexible circuit board 70 and the charging column 10, and prevent other conductive parts from contacting the flexible circuit board 70 to cause short circuit and the like.

[0051] ​The side of the circuit support plate 80 away from the flexible circuit board 70 can be glued into the accommodating groove 22 by the glue layer 60. By gluing in this way, on the one hand, the charging column 10 and the charging port body 20 are fixedly connected as a whole, and on the other hand, the second end 12 can be prevented from contacting other unintended conductive parts to cause short circuit and the like.

[0052] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 9 , the fixing part 23 can include a clamping groove provided on the charging port body 20, the depth direction of the clamping groove intersects with the extension direction of the charging column 10, so that Figure 9 for example, the extension direction of the charging column 10 is the left-right direction of the drawing, and the depth direction of the clamping groove is the up-down direction of the drawing, but it should be understood that the clamping groove position and depth direction shown in the drawing are exemplary and not limiting. By providing the clamping groove, the power supply end can be clamped, and the power supply end can be provided with a matched clamping part. During charging, the clamping part can be arranged in the clamping groove to ensure that the charging port assembly 2 and the power supply end are fixed, to ensure that the charging column 10 and the power supply end contact closely, so that the charging process is reliable. By setting the depth direction of the clamping groove to intersect with the direction of the charging column 10, it is convenient to apply force to the charging column 10 in the extension direction of the charging column 10, and the charging contact 11 is generally arranged on the front or back of the electrical equipment. In this way, the clamping groove can be arranged on the side, which is convenient for the arrangement and hiding of the clamping groove, and ensures the overall aesthetics of the electrical equipment.

[0053] In other embodiments, the close contact between the charging port body 20 and the power supply end can also be achieved by magnetic attraction between the electrical equipment and the power supply end, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0054] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an electrical equipment is provided, as shown in Figure 10 The electrical equipment includes a housing 1 and the above-mentioned charging port assembly 2, the charging port assembly 2 is installed in the housing 1, and the charging contact 11 is exposed to the second outer surface 100 of the housing 1, so as to charge outside the housing 1 of the electrical equipment without inserting the power supply end contact.

[0055] With reference to Figure 10As shown, the shell 1 of the electric device can further include a shell fixing portion 110, which is arranged opposite to the fixing portion 23 on the charging port body 20. For example, when one fixing portion 23 is arranged on the charging port assembly, the fixing portion 23 is, for example, a clamping groove, and the side wall of the shell 1 can be configured as the shell fixing portion 110. The clamping groove can be directed to one side of the shell, so that the shell fixing portion 110 is arranged opposite to the fixing portion 23. On the one hand, the clamping groove can be hidden and shielded, and on the other hand, the clamping structure of the tool can be limited between the shell fixing portion 110 and the fixing portion 23, so as to avoid shaking. In an embodiment, the other side of the shell can be provided with a corresponding clamping groove, so as to facilitate fixing of the electric device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the fixing portion 23 on the charging port body, when the electric device shakes, the fixing portion 23 is clamped relative to the power supply end and cannot move, so as to ensure the stability of the contact connection.

[0056] The electric device includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a display screen in a vehicle, etc. The electric device has all the beneficial effects of the charging port assembly 2 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] The charging column 10 can be arranged to be flush with the second outer surface 100, so as not to affect the use of the electric device. For example, the charging column 10 can be flush with the second outer surface 100, and the tool can be adapted according to the situation, so that the surface of the tool is in close contact with the charging column 10 when the surface of the tool is attached to the second outer surface 100.

[0058] In a third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided, which includes the electric device described above and has all the beneficial effects of the electric device, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] In the above detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which show, by way of illustration, specific aspects in which the present disclosure can be practiced.
