Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a charging device, and more particularly to a charging stand. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication, various mobile smart devices are gradually becoming indispensable tools in people's daily lives. In order to adapt to different needs, the charging methods of smart devices have also changed. In particular, wireless charging has become one of the mainstream methods for charging smart devices.

[0003] Currently, the most common method for wireless charging devices is to place them on a charging dock for wireless charging. To reduce storage space, current charging docks typically feature a retractable storage design. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The present invention relates to a retractable charging dock, comprising a base 1 and at least one terminal charging platform 2, wherein the terminal charging platform 2 is embedded in the center of the base and can be horizontally popped out to hold the device to be charged. Because the terminal charging platform of this charging dock has a horizontally popped-out structure, the device can only be placed horizontally while charging, resulting in its screen being either facing up or down. This makes it inconvenient to view the displayed content while charging, causing inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a charging stand that can pop out horizontally at a preset angle, so as to facilitate users to view the display content of the device being charged and also take into account a certain degree of portability.

[0005] A charging stand includes an inner box, an outer box, a rotating mechanism, and a terminal charging platform. The inner box is nested inside the outer box and can slide relative to the outer box. The terminal charging platform is disposed at the end of the inner box via the rotating mechanism. After the inner box slides out of the outer box, the rotating mechanism drives the terminal charging platform to rotate and flip out, so that the terminal charging platform forms an angle with the horizontal plane.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, the charging dock described in this utility model allows the terminal charging platform to pop out of the charging dock at an angle to the horizontal plane, so that when consumers use the charging dock to charge smart devices, the smart devices can be placed at an angle on the charging dock, making it convenient for consumers to view the content on the smart devices while charging.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a locking part and a rotating part. The rotating part is disposed on the inner box and can rotate on its own axis. The terminal charging platform is disposed on one end of the rotating part. The locking part can cooperate with the other end of the rotating part and limit the rotating part. When the locking part releases its limit on the rotating part, the rotating part rotates on its own axis about the end that cooperates with the locking part, and drives the terminal charging platform to rotate and flip out.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking part includes a wedge, and the rotating part includes a rotating block. The rotating block is fixedly connected to the terminal charging station, and the rotating block has a fastening groove. The wedge is slidably disposed in the inner box, and the top of the wedge can be inserted into the fastening groove of the rotating block to limit the rotation of the rotating block. By embedding the wedge into the fastening groove on the rotating block, the rotating mechanism can be locked, preventing it from rotating. When the wedge is pulled away from the fastening groove, the rotating mechanism is unlocked.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner box includes an inner box bottom plate and a first inner box side plate and a second inner box side plate erected on both sides of the inner box bottom plate; the rotating part of the rotating mechanism also includes a rotating shaft and a torsion spring; the rotating shaft is fixed on the rotating block and inserted between the first inner box side plate and the second inner box side plate; the torsion spring is sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the torsion spring respectively abut against the inner box and the rotating block; when the rotating mechanism is locked, the torsion spring is compressed; when the rotating mechanism is unlocked, the torsion spring drives the rotating part and the terminal charging platform to rotate to a designated position.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking part of the rotating mechanism also includes a compression spring, and a first limiting plate is erected on the bottom plate of the inner box; the two ends of the compression spring abut against the bottom end of the wedge and the first limiting plate, respectively. By pushing the wedge firmly into the locking groove of the rotating block through the compression spring, the wedge can be prevented from dislodging when the rotating mechanism is locked.

[0011] Furthermore, the device also includes an outer box that houses the inner box. The inner surface of the outer box's top cover is provided with a first limiting protrusion, and the top surface of the wedge facing the top cover of the outer box is also provided with a second limiting protrusion. When the wedge slides outward relative to the outer box along with the inner box, the first limiting protrusion abuts against the second limiting protrusion to restrict the movement of the wedge. When the inner box slides out of the outer box, the first limiting protrusion contacts the second limiting protrusion, restricting the sliding of the wedge. As the inner box drives the rotating part to continue sliding outward, the wedge disengages from the fastening groove, and the rotating mechanism is unlocked.

[0012] Furthermore, the device also includes a pop-out mechanism, which comprises a latch and a latch respectively fixed to the outer box and the inner box. The inner box is locked inside the outer box by the cooperation of the latch and the latch. The cooperation of the latch and the latch securely locks the inner box inside the outer box, preventing the inner box from sliding out and unlocking the rotating mechanism in case of accidental release.

[0013] Furthermore, the pop-out mechanism also includes a push-out spring, and the inner box further includes a second limiting plate. The push-out spring abuts against the second limiting plate and the back plate of the outer box. When the latch engages with the latch tongue, the push-out spring is compressed; when the latch unlocks, the push-out spring is released, popping the inner box out of the outer box.

[0014] Furthermore, a baffle is erected in the middle of the bottom plate of the inner box. The latch is fixed on the baffle and cooperates with the buckle. When the buckle cooperates with the latch, the buckle can be embedded into the inside of the inner box, so that the inner box can slide deeper into the outer box when stored, thereby saving storage space.

[0015] Preferably, the latch is a push-button latch. In the locked state, pressing the inner box inward unlocks it; in the unlocked state, pressing the inner box inward again locks it again, facilitating storage.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking part of the rotating mechanism also includes a wedge limiting plate, which is fixed to the first limiting plate and the first inner box side plate. The wedge limiting plate is provided with a limiting groove, the two ends of which can abut against the second limiting boss to restrict the movement of the wedge. The limiting groove on the limiting plate can limit the extreme movement distance of the wedge, preventing the wedge from embedding too deeply into the fastening groove of the rotating part, which would damage the fastening groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To ensure that the screen of the device can be easily viewed while charging, designers attempted to position the charging dock at a certain angle to the horizontal plane after it pops out, so that the screen of the device being charged faces the user at a better angle. However, based on the existing flat pop-out structure design of the charging dock, the tilted charging dock will occupy more space in the base when stored, which would require a larger storage volume for the base and would not be conducive to its portable storage requirements.

[0029] Therefore, this utility model redesigns the structure of the charging dock, and through the design of a rotating mechanism, the terminal charging platform of the charging dock can be at a preset angle after being flipped and popped out, making it convenient for users to view the displayed content.

[0030] The following is a detailed description of the charging stand designed according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figure 2The charging dock of this utility model includes an outer box 10, an inner box 20, a pop-out mechanism 30, a rotating mechanism 40, and a terminal charging platform 50. The inner box 20 is fixed inside the outer box 10 by the pop-out mechanism 30 and can pop out of the outer box 10; the terminal charging platform 50 is disposed at the end of the inner box 20 by the rotating mechanism 30, and when the inner box 20 pops out of the outer box 10, the rotating mechanism 30 drives the terminal charging platform 50 to rotate and flip out.

[0032] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer box 10 includes a base 12 and a top cover 14. The base 12 includes a base plate 121, two base side plates 122 perpendicularly disposed on opposite sides of the base plate 121, and a base back plate 123 disposed on the rear edge of the base plate 121 and perpendicular to the two base side plates 122. The top cover 14 covers the top of the base side plates 122 and the base back plate 123 to form a semi-enclosed structure of the outer box 10 with a front opening.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The inner box 20 includes an inner box bottom plate 21, a first inner box side plate 22, and a second inner box side plate 23. The first inner box side plate 22 and the second inner box side plate 23 are erected on both sides of the inner box bottom plate 21. The inner box 20 is slidably disposed inside the outer box 10 through the front opening of the outer box 10, and its first inner box side plate 22 is parallel to and close to a base side plate 122 of the outer box 10. In addition, a baffle 211, a first limiting plate 212, and a second limiting plate 213 are also erected on the inner box bottom plate 21.

[0034] Please see Figure 5 The pop-out mechanism 30 includes a latch 32, a latch 34, and a push-out spring 36. A baffle 211 on the inner box bottom plate 21 is perpendicular to both the first inner box side plate 22 and the inner box bottom plate 21, and the latch 32 is mounted on the baffle 211. A limiting sleeve 16 is also provided on the base back plate 123 of the outer box, or near the base back plate 123 on the base bottom plate 121, and the latch 34 is fixed in the limiting sleeve 16. The inner box 20 can be locked inside the outer box 10 by the engagement of the latch 32 and the latch 34. Preferably, the latch 34 is a push-button latch; it unlocks when pressed and locks when pressed again. Furthermore, the baffle 211 of the inner box can be set in the middle area of ​​the bottom plate 21 of the inner box, so that when the latch 32 engages with the latch 34, the latch 34 can be embedded into the interior of the inner box 20, allowing the inner box 20 to slide deeper into the outer box 10 when stored, thereby allowing the rear edge of the inner box 20 to be as close as possible to the base back plate 123 of the outer box 10, so as to reduce the storage volume.

[0035] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The two ends of the push-out spring 36 abut against the base back plate 123 of the outer box 10 and the second limiting plate 213 erected on the bottom plate 21 of the inner box, respectively, so that after the latch 32 is unlocked from the lock 34, the push-out spring 36 pushes the inner box 20 out of the outer box 10. In this embodiment, a first push-out spring limiting post 18 is also provided on the base back plate 123 of the outer box 10, and a second push-out spring limiting post 25 is also provided on the second limiting plate 213. The first end of the push-out spring 36 passes through the first push-out spring limiting post 18 and abuts against the base back plate 123, and the second end passes through the second push-out spring limiting post 25 and abuts against the second limiting plate 213. Furthermore, the second limiting plate 213 is located on the outside of the second inner box side plate 23, and a cover can be provided to cover the push-out spring 36 to limit the lateral displacement of the push-out spring 36.

[0036] Please see Figure 8 The rotating mechanism 40 includes a rotating part 42 and a locking part 44. The rotating part 42 includes a rotating block 422, a rotating shaft 424, and a torsion spring 426. The ends of the first inner box side plate 22 and the second inner box side plate 23 are also provided with through holes 26. The rotating shaft 424 passes through the rotating block 422, and its two ends are respectively inserted into the through holes 26 of the first inner box side plate 22 and the second inner box side plate 23. The rotating block 422 is fixed on the rotating shaft 424 and rotates with the rotating shaft, that is, the rotating part 42 can rotate around the rotating shaft 424. The torsion spring 426 is sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft 424, and its two ends abut against the inner box 20 and the rotating block 422 respectively. When the device is in the retracted state, the torsion spring 426 is compressed. When the torsion spring 426 is released, it drives the rotating block 422 to rotate to a certain preset angle. In this embodiment, the preset rotation angle of the rotating part 42 is preferably 135°, but other angles, such as 140° or 120°, can also be achieved by modifying the torsion spring 426.

[0037] The locking part 44 includes a wedge 442, a compression spring 444, and a wedge limiting plate 446. A positioning plate parallel to the first inner box side plate 22 is also erected on the inner box bottom plate 21 near the first inner box side plate 22. The first limiting plate 212 on the inner box is erected at the tail end of the first inner box side plate 22 and the positioning plate and is perpendicular to both. The first inner box side plate 22, the positioning plate, and the first limiting plate 212 together form a sliding groove. The wedge 442 is placed in this sliding groove and can slide relative to the inner box bottom plate 21. The wedge limiting plate 446 covers the sliding groove. A fastening groove 423 is also provided on the rotating block 422 of the rotating part 42. The top end of the wedge 442 can slide into the fastening groove 423 to lock the rotating part 42.

[0038] Please see Figure 9 The first limiting plate 212 is also provided with a compression spring limiting post 24. One end of the compression spring 444 abuts against the bottom end of the wedge block 442, and the other end passes through the compression spring limiting post 24 and abuts against the first limiting plate 212. When the locking part 44 is in the locked state, the compression spring 444 pushes the wedge block 442 to be firmly locked in the fastening groove 423, preventing the rotating part 42 from being accidentally unlocked.

[0039] Please see Figure 8 The inner surface of the upper cover 14 of the outer box 10 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 141, and the top surface of the wedge 442 is also provided with a second limiting protrusion 443. When the inner box 20 pops out from the outer box 10, the first limiting protrusion 141 and the second limiting protrusion 443 contact each other, causing the wedge 442 to stop moving with the inner box 20. As a result, the wedge 442 disengages from the fastening groove 423, and the rotating part 42 disengages from the limiting position of the wedge 442 and pops outward under the torque of the torsion spring 426. The wedge limiting plate 446 is also provided with a limiting groove 447 that can contact the second limiting protrusion 443 on the wedge 442. The limiting groove 447 can limit the extreme position of the movement of the wedge 442.

[0040] The terminal charging station 50 is a smartwatch charging station, which is fixedly mounted on the rotating block 422. After the locking part 44 and the rotating part 42 are unlocked, the terminal charging station 50 rotates together with the rotating block 422 to a preset angle. The terminal charging station 50 can also be modified to charge other smart devices, such as mobile phones and wireless headphones.

[0041] Please participate Figures 2 to 4When the device is in the storage state, the inner box 20 is firmly embedded in the outer box 10 by the engagement of the latch 32 and the lock 34 in the pop-out mechanism 30. The wedge 442 in the rotation mechanism 40 is pushed firmly into the locking groove 423 of the rotating block 422 by the compression spring 444, and the rotation of the rotating block 422 is locked. At this time, the push-out spring 36 and the torsion spring 426 are both in a compressed state. When the inner box 20 is pushed towards the outer box 10, the latch 34 is unlocked. Under the action of the push-out spring 36, the inner box 20 is pushed out of the outer box 10. When it is pushed out to a certain extent, the second limiting protrusion 443 on the wedge 442 contacts the first limiting protrusion 141 on the inner surface of the top cover 14. The wedge 442 is then stopped from popping out with the inner box 20. After the inner box 20 continues to pop out a certain distance, the wedge 442 stops contacting the locking groove 423, and the rotating part 42 is unlocked. Due to the action of the torsion spring 426, the rotating part 42 is pushed out and drives the terminal charging station 5 to rotate to a certain angle. When it needs to be stored, the terminal charging station 5 is rotated back into the inner box 20 by hand, and the inner box 20 is pushed back into the outer box 10. The wedge 442 and the locking groove 423 re-engage, and pressing the latch 34 again locks it in place. The charging station returns to its stored state and is locked.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies, the charging dock of this utility model can horizontally store the terminal charging platform 50 inside the charging dock, and can make the terminal charging platform 50 pop out of the charging dock at a certain preset angle, which meets the portability requirements of the charging dock with movable storage design, and the requirement of consumers to view the display content of the smart device when using the charging dock to charge the smart device.
