Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to portable inverters. Background Technology

[0002] A portable inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It plays a crucial role in power conversion, energy utilization, and power supply. Inverters are generally designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry and fit easily into backpacks, car trunks, etc., facilitating use in various mobile scenarios. They can be paired with various DC power sources, such as car batteries and portable lithium battery packs, to power AC devices in different environments, including outdoors and inside a vehicle. Inverters are equipped with sockets for connection to plugs. This connection provides a stable current transmission path, ensuring that the inverter's output current is safely and stably transmitted to the device. A good connection reduces current fluctuations and poor contact, lowering the risk of damage due to unstable current. During use, the plug and socket may loosen due to external force or accidental contact. Loosening can cause the plug to completely detach from the socket, resulting in a sudden power outage and disrupting the normal operation of the device. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figures 1-7This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a portable inverter, which includes a main body component 100 and a mounting component 200. The two components work together to fix the plug and socket.

[0031] Specifically, the main component 100 includes an inverter 101, one end of which is provided with a socket 102, and the other side of the socket 102 is provided with a plug 103.

[0032] Inverter 101 is a power electronic device. The core of inverter 101 is to switch DC power to AC power according to a certain rule through the switching action of power semiconductor devices. Socket 102 serves as the interface for inverter 101 to output AC power, allowing electrical devices that require AC power to connect. Plug 103 is used to connect external DC power sources, such as battery packs and solar panels, to provide DC power input to inverter 101.

[0033] Specifically, the mounting component 200 is installed on the inner wall of the socket 102 and includes a mounting piece 201. The mounting piece 201 includes a locking plate 201a installed inside the socket 102. The bottom of the locking plate 201a is provided with six moving blocks 201b. The inner wall of the moving blocks 201b is provided with six fixed blocks 201c. The inner wall of the fixed blocks 201c is provided with a connecting rod 201d. The top of the connecting rod 201d is provided with a locking strip 201e. One end of the locking strip 201e is provided with a limit plate 201f. The inner wall of the limit plate 201f is provided with multiple limit grooves 201f-1.

[0034] There are three locking plates 201a, and each locking plate 201a has two moving blocks 201b and two fixed blocks 201c at its bottom.

[0035] When it is necessary to fix the plug 103 and the socket 102 together, the locking strip 201e is moved to separate it from the limiting groove 201f-1 on the limiting plate 201f. Then the connecting rod 201d is moved, which drives the fixing block 201c to move. The movement of the fixing block 201c will cause the moving block 201b to slide on the fixing block 201c. The movement of the moving block 201b can drive the locking plate 201a to move. When the locking plate 201a moves to fit against the inner wall of the socket 102, the fixing of the socket 102 and the plug 103 is completed.

[0036] To prevent the plug 103 from falling off the socket 102 due to external force, when it is necessary to fix the plug 103 and the socket 102 together, the locking strip 201e is moved. The locking strip 201e will separate from the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby releasing the limiting of the connecting rod 201d. Then the connecting rod 201d is moved, which drives the six fixing blocks 201c to move. The movement of the fixing blocks 201c drives the six moving blocks 201b to slide. The movement of the moving blocks 201b can drive the three locking plates 201a to move. When the locking plates 201a move to fit against the inner wall of the socket 102, the fixing of the socket 102 and the plug 103 is completed.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figures 1-7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0039] Specifically, the installation component 200 also includes a support member 202, which includes three support blocks 202a. The support blocks 202a are fixed to one end of the locking plate 201a, and each support block 202a has a sliding plate 202b at one end.

[0040] The movement of the locking plate 201a will cause the support block 202a to move, and the movement of the support block 202a will cause the sliding plate 202b to move.

[0041] Specifically, a positioning plate 202c is fitted on the outer side of the sliding plate 202b. A fixing ring 202d is provided at one end of the positioning plate 202c, and a support shell 202e is provided on one side of the fixing ring 202d.

[0042] The fixing ring 202d is used to support the positioning plate 202c, and the support shell 202e is used to support the fixing ring 202d. The fixing ring 202d is fixed to the inner wall of the plug 103.

[0043] When the sliding plate 202b moves, it will slide on the positioning plate 202c. The movement of the positioning plate 202c can make the locking plate 201a open and close stably.

[0044] Specifically, the installation component 200 also includes a limiting member 203, a fixing plate 203a at one end of the connecting rod 201d, a locking strip 201e that moves along the inner wall of the fixing plate 203a, and a connecting rod 203b at one end of the locking strip 201e.

[0045] The fixing plate 203a is used to support the locking strip 201e. By moving the connecting rod 203b, the locking strip 201e moves and separates from the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby releasing the limitation on the connecting rod 201d.

[0046] Specifically, a spring 203c is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 203b. One end of the spring 203c is fixed to one end of the locking strip 201e, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing plate 203a.

[0047] By moving the connecting rod 203b, the connecting rod 203b moves the locking bar 201e, and the movement of the locking bar 201e applies pressure to the spring 203c. The movement of the locking bar 201e can separate it from the limiting groove 201f-1.

[0048] Specifically, a drive plate 203d is provided at one end of the connecting rod 203b, and a drive groove 203d-1 is provided on the inner wall of the drive plate 203d.

[0049] By squeezing the drive groove 203d-1 inside the drive plate 203d, the drive plate 203d is moved, and the movement of the drive plate 203d will drive the connecting rod 203b to move.

[0050] When it is necessary to release the limiting position of connecting rod 201d, the driving groove 203d-1 in the driving plate 203d is pressed to move it. The movement of the driving plate 203d will drive the connecting rod 203b to move. The movement of the connecting rod 203b will drive the locking bar 201e to move. The movement of the locking bar 201e will apply pressure to the spring 203c. The movement of the locking bar 201e will separate it from the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby releasing the limiting position of connecting rod 201d. Then, by moving the connecting rod 201d, the movement of the connecting rod 201d will drive the six fixed blocks 201c to move. The movement of the fixed blocks 201c will drive the six moving blocks 201c to move. 01b slides, and the movement of the moving block 201b can drive the three locking plates 201a to move. The movement of the locking plates 201a will drive the support block 202a to move. The movement of the support block 202a will drive the sliding plate 202b to slide on the positioning plate 202c. The sliding of the sliding plate 202b can make the locking plate 201a more stable when moving. After the locking plate 201a moves to the desired position, the drive plate 203d is released. At this time, the spring 203c rebounds and can make the locking strip 201e re-engage with the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby completing the limiting of the connecting rod 201d.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Reference Figures 6-7This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0053] Specifically, a sliding rod 203e is inserted into the inner wall of the drive groove 203d-1, and an extrusion ring 203f is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 203e.

[0054] By moving the extrusion ring 203f, the extrusion ring 203f moves and causes the sliding rod 203e to be extruded and slid on the inner wall of the drive groove 203d-1. The movement of the drive groove 203d-1 causes the drive plate 203d to move.

[0055] Specifically, a drive bar 203g is provided at the other end of the extrusion ring 203f, and the drive bar 203g moves along the inner wall of the fixed plate 203a.

[0056] By pressing the drive bar 203g, the movement of the drive bar 203g causes the pressing ring 203f to move. The pressing ring 203f causes the sliding rod 203e to slide against the inner wall of the drive groove 203d-1. The movement of the drive groove 203d-1 causes the drive plate 203d to move. The movement of the drive plate 203d causes the connecting rod 203b to move. The movement of the connecting rod 203b causes the locking bar 201e to move. The movement of the locking bar 201e applies pressure to the spring 203c. The movement of the locking bar 201e can separate it from the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby releasing the limitation on the connecting rod 201d.

[0057] Specifically, a plug 103 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting plate 201f, and a handle 203h is provided at one end of the connecting rod 201d.

[0058] By releasing the limit of linkage 201d and then moving handle 203h, linkage 201d can be moved.

[0059] Specifically, a push rod 203i is provided at one end of the drive bar 203g.

[0060] By moving the push rod 203i, the drive bar 203g can be moved.

[0061] When using the device, to secure the plug 103 to the socket 102, the limiting position of the connecting rod 201d must first be released. Pushing the push rod 203i causes the drive bar 203g to move, which in turn moves the compression ring 203f. The compression ring 203f then causes the sliding rod 203e to slide against the inner wall of the drive groove 203d-1. The movement of the drive groove 203d-1 moves the drive plate 203d, which in turn moves the connecting rod 203b. The connecting rod 203b then moves the locking bar 201e, which applies pressure to the spring 203c. This movement of the locking bar 201e separates it from the limiting groove 201f-1, thus releasing the limiting position of the connecting rod 201d. Finally, by moving the handle 203h, the device can be... The movement of the hand 203h drives the connecting rod 201d to move, which in turn drives the six fixed blocks 201c to move. The movement of the fixed blocks 201c drives the six moving blocks 201b to slide. The movement of the moving blocks 201b drives the three locking plates 201a to move. The movement of the locking plates 201a drives the support block 202a to move. The movement of the support block 202a drives the sliding plate 202b to slide on the positioning plate 202c. The sliding of the sliding plate 202b makes the locking plate 201a more stable during movement. When the locking plate 201a moves to fit against the inner wall of the socket 102, the push rod 203i is released. At this time, the spring 203c rebounds, which allows the locking strip 201e to re-engage with the limiting groove 201f-1, thereby completing the limiting of the connecting rod 201d and fixing the plug 103 to the socket 102.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
