Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor charger. Background Technology
[0002] An electric vehicle charger is a charging device designed for the battery packs of electric vehicles (also known as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, or electric-assisted bicycles). It is responsible for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and supplying power to the battery pack with the appropriate voltage and current for charging. During the charging process, there is a risk of fire due to the chemical reactions inside the battery and the heat generated by the charger. To ensure the safety of people and property, fire departments typically require electric vehicles to be charged in designated outdoor areas, strictly prohibiting the unauthorized installation of electrical wiring for charging, and prohibiting charging in public stairwells, densely populated areas, safety exits, emergency evacuation routes, and other essential evacuation routes.
[0003] Outdoors, shared charging stations are commonly used to charge electric bicycles. However, existing electric bicycle chargers have no place to be stored outdoors, and due to the limited power length of the charger, the charger casing often dangles between the two power cords while the electric bicycle is charging. This can easily cause the connection between the power cord and the socket or charging port of the electric bicycle to loosen, resulting in charging interruption. It can also easily cause the power cord joints to break due to pulling, affecting the lifespan of the charger. Furthermore, the power cords of existing electric bicycle chargers cannot be stored during use and can only be wrapped around the charger casing. Since electric bicycle chargers are usually placed under the saddle when not in use, the bumps during the ride can cause the power cords to become loose and messy, making them easy to tangle and knot when taken out, which is very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An outdoor charger includes an upper housing, a lower housing fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper housing, an upper cover hinged to the top of the upper housing, two hooks fixedly connected to the top of the upper housing, and a semi-circular ring fixedly connected to the top of the upper housing.
[0007] It also includes a hook, which includes a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a ring, and the end of the connecting rod away from the ring is rotatably connected to a hook. The ring is movably connected to a semi-circular ring.
[0008] Preferably, a circuit board is fixedly installed inside the lower housing. The circuit board is a universal circuit board for electric vehicle chargers. Two power lines are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the two power lines pass through both ends of the lower housing and extend to the outside of the lower housing.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the upper housing has a groove, the upper cover is located in the groove and matches the groove, and the two claws, the semi-circular ring and the hook are all located in the groove and below the upper cover.
[0010] Preferably, both ends of the top cover are provided with wire-passing grooves, and the diameter of the wire-passing grooves matches the power cord.
[0011] Preferably, the two claws are arranged symmetrically to each other, and the claw portions of the two claws are located in a direction away from each other.
[0012] Preferably, both the upper and lower housings are provided with a number of heat dissipation holes.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In the use of this utility model, an outdoor charger can use a hook to hang the charger housing on the handlebars or hooks of an electric vehicle, which solves the problem of where there is no place to put the charging housing of an electric vehicle outdoors, and also prevents the power cords at both ends from being pulled due to excessive force.
[0015] 2. This utility model features a groove and a top cover. When not charging, the power cords at both ends can be wound around the two hooks inside the groove. The hooks can be folded and stored inside the groove. Then, the top cover can be closed, making storage neater and solving the problem of existing charger power cords not being able to be stored, making it more convenient to use.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-6 An outdoor charger includes an upper housing 1, with a lower housing 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper housing 1. A circuit board is fixedly installed inside the lower housing 2. The circuit board is a common circuit board for electric vehicle chargers. Two power lines 8 are electrically connected to the circuit board, which are a power input line and a power output line, respectively. The circuit board converts AC power to DC power and provides power to the battery pack with appropriate voltage and current for charging. This is existing common technology and will not be described in detail in this utility model. The two power lines 8 extend through both ends of the lower housing 2 to the outside of the lower housing 2. A top cover 3 is hinged to the top of the upper housing 1. Both ends of the top cover 3 have wire grooves 301. The diameter of the wire grooves 301 matches the power lines 8. When the top cover 3 is closed, the power lines 8 can pass through the wire grooves 301 without affecting the opening and closing of the top cover. Two hooks 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the body 1. The two hooks 4 are symmetrically arranged and the claws of the two hooks 4 are located away from each other. The two hooks 4 are used to wrap the two power cords 8 to realize the storage of the power cords 8. The top of the upper shell 1 has a groove 101. The upper cover 3 is located in the groove 101 and matches the groove 101. The two hooks 4, the semi-circular ring 5 and the hook 6 are all located in the groove 101 and below the upper cover 3. The groove 101 allows the power cords 8 and the hook 6 to be stored in the groove 101. After storage, the upper cover can be closed, making the whole more neat and more convenient to use. The top of the upper shell 1 is fixedly connected to the semi-circular ring 5. Several heat dissipation holes 7 are opened on both the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. During the use of the charger, the electronic components on the internal circuit board will generate heat. The heat dissipation holes 7 can be used with the heat sink to dissipate this heat.
[0025] It also includes a hook 6, which includes a connecting rod 601. One end of the connecting rod 601 is fixedly connected to a ring 602, and the other end of the connecting rod 601 away from the ring 602 is rotatably connected to a hook 603. The hook 603 is rotatably connected to the ring 602, and the hook 603 can be folded or folded up as needed. The hook 603 is used to suspend the charger housing on the handlebars of the electric vehicle. The ring 602 is movably connected to the semi-circular ring 5, and the two are movably connected so that the entire hook 6 can be supported and suspended by the hook 603. When not in use, it can also be folded and stored for convenient use.
[0026] In this utility model, when not in use, the hook 603 and the connecting rod 601 can be folded first. Since the hook 6 is movably connected to the semi-circular ring 5 through the ring 602, the hook 6 can be placed in the groove 101 as a whole. Then, the two power cords 8 are wrapped around the two hook claws 4 back and forth to store the power cords 8. Finally, the top cover 3 is closed to complete the storage process.
[0027] When charging is needed, first open the top cover 3, loosen the two power cords 8 from the hook 4, then lift the hook 6, hang the hook 603 on the handlebars of the electric vehicle, and then connect the two power cords to the power socket and the charging port of the electric vehicle respectively to start charging.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
