[0065] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0066] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" and other terms used in this utility model to indicate the orientation or positional relationship are based on the positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device and components referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0067] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a shared power bank cabinet 1000, including a control unit 300 and at least one charging unit 200, wherein the control unit 300 is electrically connected to the charging unit 200.

[0069] Specifically, the control unit 300 is electrically connected to the charging unit 200 and is used to monitor the working status of the charging unit 200 in real time, including monitoring the charging progress of the power bank, environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the cabinet; the control unit 300 is also used to receive instructions from the upper-level server or management platform and execute operation instructions such as remotely locking the cabinet and adjusting the rental price.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control unit 300 and the charging unit 200 are stacked.

[0071] Specifically, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 has a horizontal direction X and a vertical direction Y, where the vertical direction Y is the height direction when the shared power bank cabinet 1000 is placed horizontally. The control unit 300 can be positioned above or below the charging unit 200 along the vertical direction Y. In this embodiment, by stacking the control unit 300 and the charging unit 200, the space in the vertical direction Y is fully utilized, thus saving the floor space occupied by the shared power bank cabinet 1000.

[0072] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 includes a plurality of charging units 200, which are stacked together.

[0073] Specifically, the control unit 300 is stacked with multiple charging units 200 and electrically connected to each charging unit 200. Each charging unit 200 includes multiple charging compartments 11, so that the shared power bank cabinet 1000 can provide more power banks without increasing the floor space, in order to meet the users' power bank rental needs.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the charging unit 200 includes a housing 101 and a charging module 100 disposed within the housing 101. The charging module 100 includes a module body 10, an unlocking mechanism 20, and a push assembly 30. The module body 10 is provided with a charging compartment 11 for accommodating a power bank, and the charging compartment 11 is equipped with a locking fastener 40 for locking the power bank. The unlocking mechanism 20 is mounted on the module body 10 and is used to drive the locking fastener 40 to unlock the power bank. The push assembly 30 is used to push the locking fastener 40 to lock the power bank. When the power bank is unlocked, the unlocking mechanism 20 drives the locking fastener 40 to push the push assembly 30, so that the push assembly 30 pushes the power bank out of the charging compartment 11.

[0075] In this embodiment, the charging module 100 is housed within the receiving cavity of the housing 101, which protects the charging module 100 from interference and damage from the external environment. The module body 10 is the main structure of the charging module 100. The module body 10 has one or more charging compartments 11, each containing a charging interface. A power bank is housed within the charging compartment 11 and connected to the charging interface to achieve the charging function.

[0076] Based on the above technical solution, when returning the power bank, it is inserted into the charging compartment 11. The power bank pushes the pusher component 30 outward from the charging compartment 11. When the power bank is fully contained within the charging compartment 11, it is locked in place by the locking fastener 40. When removing the power bank, the unlocking mechanism 20 drives the locking fastener 40 to move, thereby releasing the locking fastener 40 from the power bank and driving the pusher component 30 to move into the charging compartment 11, thus pushing the power bank out of the charging compartment 11. This embodiment improves the locking and pushing effect of the power bank through the cooperation of the pusher component 30, the locking fastener 40, and the unlocking mechanism 20.

[0077] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the unlocking signal is triggered by scanning a code to pay the fee. The charging module 100 sends the unlocking signal to the unlocking mechanism 20 through wireless or wired communication. After receiving the unlocking signal, the unlocking mechanism 20 drives the locking fastener 40 to move so that the locking fastener 40 unlocks the power bank.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the push assembly 30 includes a push rod 31 and an elastic member 32. The push rod 31 extends from the outside of the charging compartment 11 to the inside of the charging compartment 11. The elastic member 32 is connected to the push rod 31, and the locking member 40 abuts against the elastic member 32. When the unlocking mechanism 20 drives the locking member 40, the locking member 40 pushes the elastic member 32 so that the push rod 31 pushes the power bank out of the charging compartment 11.

[0079] Specifically, the push rod 31 and the elastic element 32 are either fixedly connected or detachably connected. The elastic element 32 is connected to the push rod 31 and serves as a buffer and elastic element. On the one hand, when the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11 or the locking device 40 unlocks the power bank, the push rod 31 will be pushed, generating an impact force. The elastic element 32 can absorb the impact force of the push rod 31, preventing the push rod 31 from damaging other structures due to excessive impact. On the other hand, when the locking device 40 locks the power bank, the locking device 40 abuts against the elastic element 32, causing the elastic element 32 to compress. When the locking device 40 unlocks the power bank, the locking device 40 pushes the elastic element 32, and the elastic element 32 releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the push rod 31. Under the action of elastic force, the push rod 31 ejects the power bank from the charging compartment 11, making the removal of the power bank smoother.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the push assembly 30 also includes a protrusion 33 on the push rod 31; the elastic member 32 is partially sleeved on the push rod 31, the first end of the elastic member 32 abuts against the protrusion 33, and the second end of the elastic member 32 abuts against the locking member 40.

[0081] Specifically, the two ends of the elastic element 32 abut against the protrusion 33 and the locking element 40, respectively, with the protrusion 33 serving to restrict the elastic element 32. When the locking element 40 locks the power bank, the elastic element 32 is compressed due to the combined restriction of the protrusion 33 and the locking element 40. When the locking element 40 unlocks the power bank, it further pushes the elastic element 32, which releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the push rod 31 through the protrusion 33, causing the push rod 31 to eject the power bank.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the push assembly 30 also includes a protrusion 33 on the push rod 31; the locking member 40 is provided with a socket 41, the push rod 31 extends toward the locking member 40 and passes through the socket 41; the elastic member 32 is sleeved on the push rod 31, the first end of the elastic member 32 abuts against the protrusion 33, and the second end of the elastic member 32 abuts against the locking member 40.

[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic element 32 is sleeved on the push rod 31, and the push rod 31 passes through the socket 41. When the locking member 40 unlocks the power bank, the locking member 40 pushes the elastic element 32, and the elastic element 32 pushes the push rod 31 through the protrusion 33. The push rod 31 moves in the socket 41 to prevent the elastic element 32 from shifting position during elastic deformation.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the locking member 40 has a boss 42 on the side facing the push rod 31, and the second end of the elastic member 32 is sleeved on the boss 42.

[0085] For example, the locking member 40 does not have a hole 41. One end of the elastic member 32 abuts against the protrusion 33 and the other end abuts against the boss 42. The boss 42 is used to fix and restrict the elastic member 32.

[0086] For example, the locking member 40 is provided with a socket 41, the boss 42 is provided around the outer periphery of the socket 41, the push rod 31 passes through the socket 41, and the elastic member 32 is sleeved on the push rod 31 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 42 to fix the elastic member 32.

[0087] In some embodiments, the locking member 40 is provided with a groove (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the push rod 31, and the elastic member 32 is sleeved in the groove.

[0088] Specifically, the groove and the boss 42 have the same function. The elastic element 32 is sleeved on the push rod 31 and sleeved in the groove. The groove fixes the elastic element 32.

[0089] It is understandable that, compared to using fasteners such as screws to fix the elastic element 32, this embodiment uses a boss 42 or a groove instead of fasteners such as screws, and uses the structure on the locking member 40 to fix the elastic element 32. This can save fastener material and avoid setting screw holes in the locking member 40 or the push rod 31, thereby improving the structural life of the locking member 40 and the push rod 31.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the charging module 100 includes a detection component 50, which is used to detect the displacement distance of the push component 30 when the power bank is inserted into or pushed out of the charging compartment 11.

[0091] Specifically, when returning the power bank, it is inserted into the charging compartment 11. The power bank pushes the push component 30 out of the charging compartment 11. The detection component 50 detects the displacement distance of the push component 30. If the displacement distance is equal to a preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11. If the displacement distance is not equal to the preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has not been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11. When removing the power bank, the locking component 40 releases the lock on the power bank. The push component 30 moves into the charging compartment 11 and pushes the unlocked power bank outward. The detection component 50 detects the displacement distance of the push component 30. If the displacement distance is equal to the preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has been successfully pushed out of the charging compartment 11. If the displacement distance is not equal to the preset distance, it is determined that the power bank is stuck in the charging compartment 11 and has not been successfully pushed out of the charging compartment 11.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the power bank is inserted into or pushed out of the charging compartment 11, the displacement distance corresponding to the pushing component 30 is detected by the detection component 50, and the power bank is accurately determined to have been successfully inserted into or pushed out of the charging compartment 11 based on the displacement distance.

[0093] For example, the preset distance of the pushing component 30 is W1. If the power bank is not fully inserted, the displacement distance of the pushing component 30 is W2. Since W2 is not equal to W1, it is determined that the power bank has not been successfully inserted. If other types of power banks are inserted, because the length of other types of power banks is smaller and does not match the depth of the charging compartment 11, they cannot push the pushing component 30 within the charging compartment 11. The displacement distance W2 of the pushing component 30 is zero and less than the preset distance W1. Alternatively, if the length of other types of power banks is too large, the displacement distance W2 generated by the pushing component 30 is greater than the preset distance W1. Since the displacement distance W2 is not equal to the preset distance W1, it cannot be fully accommodated in the charging compartment 11, and it is determined that the power bank has not been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the charging module 100 includes a circuit board 60. The module body 10 has a mounting surface 12 on the side opposite to the opening of the charging compartment 11. The circuit board 60 is mounted on the mounting surface 12. The circuit board 60 has a mounting hole 61. The push assembly 30 passes through the mounting hole 61 from the outside of the charging compartment 11 and extends into the inside of the charging compartment 11.

[0095] Specifically, the module body 10 has a front and a back side arranged opposite to each other. The opening of the charging compartment 11 is located on the front side of the module body 10, and the mounting surface 12 is located on the back side of the module body 10. The mounting surface 12 is used to mount the circuit board 60, the locking fastener 40, and the unlocking mechanism 20, etc. Among them, the circuit board 60 is the control component of the charging module 100, which is used to issue commands, receive and process signals, thereby controlling other components.

[0096] In some embodiments, the detection component 50 is disposed on the module body 10, or on the circuit board 60, or on the push component 30.

[0097] Specifically, the position of the detection component 50 is not specifically limited, as long as it can detect the displacement distance corresponding to the pushing component 30 when the power bank is inserted into or pushed out of the charging compartment 11. The number of detection components 50 is also not specifically limited; the detection component 50 may include one detection element, or it may include two or more detection elements.

[0098] For example, the detection component 50 includes a laser emitter and a laser receiver, which are respectively disposed on the pushing component 30. The displacement distance of the pushing component 30 is detected by calculating the time difference between the laser emission and the reception of the reflected light. The laser emitter can be an infrared emitter.

[0099] In some embodiments, a processor is provided on the circuit board 60. The processor is used to determine whether the power bank is the target power bank based on the displacement distance corresponding to the push component 30 when the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11.

[0100] Specifically, the detection component 50 is electrically connected to the processor. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, the detection component 50 detects the displacement distance of the pushing component 30 and sends the displacement distance information to the processor. The processor compares the displacement distance with a preset distance. If the displacement distance is less than the preset distance, the length of the power bank is too small, and it is determined that the inserted power bank is not the target power bank. If the displacement distance is greater than the preset distance, the length of the power bank is too large, and it is determined that the inserted power bank is not the target power bank. If the displacement distance is equal to the preset distance, the length of the power bank matches the depth of the charging compartment 11, and it is determined that the inserted power bank is the target power bank.

[0101] In some embodiments, the processor is used to determine whether the power bank has been pushed out of the charging compartment 11 based on the displacement distance corresponding to the push component 30 when the power bank is pushed out of the charging compartment 11.

[0102] Specifically, when the power bank is pushed out of the charging compartment 11 by the pusher component 30, the detection component 50 detects the displacement distance of the pusher component 30 and sends the displacement distance information to the processor. The processor compares the displacement distance with a preset distance. If the displacement distance is less than the preset distance, the power bank has not been successfully pushed out, and it is determined that the power bank is stuck in the charging compartment 11. If the displacement distance is equal to the preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has been pushed out.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the processor determines that the inserted power bank is not the target power bank, or determines that the power bank is stuck in the charging compartment 11, it can issue an audible and visual prompt signal to remind the user.

[0104] In some embodiments, the detection component 50 includes a first detection element and a second detection element. The first detection element is disposed on the push assembly 30, and the second detection element is disposed on the circuit board 60 or the module body 10. When the power bank is inserted into or pushed out of the charging compartment 11, the first detection element moves relative to the second detection element to detect the displacement distance of the push assembly 30.

[0105] Specifically, the first detection element is disposed on the pushing assembly 30. When the pushing assembly 30 moves, the first detection element is stationary relative to the pushing assembly 30, but moves relative to the circuit board 60 or the module body 10. The second detection element is disposed on the circuit board 60 or the module body 10, and is stationary relative to the circuit board 60 or the module body 10. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11 or pushed out of the charging compartment 11, the pushing assembly 30 will move, causing the first detection element to move relative to the second detection element. The displacement distance of the pushing assembly 30 is detected based on the change in the distance between the first and second detection elements.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first detection element includes one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and the second detection element includes the other of a positive electrode and a negative electrode.

[0107] Specifically, this embodiment detects displacement distance based on the working principle of a capacitive displacement sensor. The capacitive displacement sensor includes a reference plate and a measuring plate. The reference plate is fixed, while the measuring plate moves with the object being measured. When the object moves, the distance between the reference plate and the measuring plate changes, resulting in a change in capacitance. The displacement of the object is detected based on the change in capacitance.

[0108] For example, the first detection element includes a positive electrode plate, and the second detection element includes a negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate is disposed on the pushing assembly 30 as a measuring electrode plate, and the negative electrode plate is disposed on the circuit board 60 or the module body 10 as a reference electrode plate. When the pushing assembly 30 moves, the positive electrode plate also moves with the pushing assembly 30, thereby changing the distance between the positive and negative electrode plates, and thus changing the capacitance value between the positive and negative electrode plates. The displacement distance of the pushing assembly 30 is detected based on the change in the capacitance value between the positive and negative electrode plates.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first detection element includes one of a magnetic element and a Hall sensor, and the second detection element includes the other of a magnetic element and a Hall sensor.

[0110] Specifically, this embodiment detects displacement distance based on the Hall effect of the Hall sensor. When a magnetic field acts on the Hall sensor, a potential difference is generated on both sides of the Hall sensor. The potential difference is related to the strength of the magnetic field. By measuring the potential difference, the change in the strength of the magnetic field can be measured.

[0111] For example, the first detection element includes a magnetic element, and the second detection element includes a Hall sensor. When the pushing assembly 30 moves, the magnetic element moves with the pushing assembly 30, thereby changing the distance between the magnetic element and the Hall sensor. The magnetic field strength sensed by the Hall sensor also changes, resulting in a change in potential difference. By measuring the potential difference, the change in magnetic field strength is calculated, and the change in distance between the magnetic element and the Hall sensor is deduced, thereby detecting the displacement distance of the pushing assembly 30.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first detection element includes one of a magnetic element and a conductive element 51, and the second detection element includes the other of a magnetic element and a conductive element 51.

[0113] Specifically, this embodiment detects displacement distance based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the conductive component moves in the magnetic field or the magnetic field changes in the conductive component, the magnetic flux of the conductive component will change, and the conductive component will generate an induced electromotive force.

[0114] For example, the first detection element includes a magnetic element, and the second detection element includes a conductive element. When the pushing assembly 30 moves, the magnetic element moves with the pushing assembly 30, thereby changing the distance between the magnetic element and the conductive element. The magnetic flux of the conductive element changes, generating an induced electromotive force. The two ends of the conductive element are connected to a measuring circuit. By measuring the change in the induced electromotive force, the displacement distance of the pushing assembly 30 is detected.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first detection element includes a conductive element 51, and the second detection element includes an electrode assembly 52, which includes a positive electrode 521 and a negative electrode 522. The electrode assembly 52 is electrically connected to the circuit board 60. When the positional relationship between the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 changes, the displacement distance corresponding to the push assembly 30 is determined to be a preset distance.

[0116] Specifically, the positional changes between the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 include separation and connection. When the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 change from separation to connection, or from connection to separation, the displacement distance corresponding to the pushing assembly 30 is determined to be a preset distance.

[0117] For example, the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are initially separated. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11 and pushes the push assembly 30, the distance between the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 gradually decreases. When the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are connected, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are connected and in a short-circuit state. If the displacement distance of the push assembly 30 is determined to be a preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11.

[0118] For example, the initial state of the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 is a connection relationship. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11 and pushes the push assembly 30, the conductive element 51 is separated from the electrode assembly 52, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are disconnected, the short circuit signal disappears, and the displacement distance of the push assembly 30 is determined to be a preset distance. Then it is determined that the power bank has been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11.

[0119] For example, the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are initially separated. When the locking element 40 releases the lock on the power bank, the pushing component 30 moves into the charging compartment 11 to push the power bank outward. The distance between the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 gradually decreases. When the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are connected, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are connected and in a short-circuit state. If the displacement distance of the pushing component 30 is determined to be a preset distance, it is determined that the power bank has been successfully pushed out of the charging compartment 11.

[0120] For example, the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are initially connected. When the locking element 40 releases the lock on the power bank, the pushing component 30 moves into the charging compartment 11 to push the power bank outward. When the conductive element 51 separates from the electrode assembly 52, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are disconnected, the short circuit signal disappears, and the displacement distance of the pushing component 30 is determined to be a preset distance. Then it is determined that the power bank has been successfully pushed out of the charging compartment 11.

[0121] In some embodiments, the conductive element 51 is a conductive sponge. When the conductive sponge is connected to the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are connected and in a short-circuit state. When the conductive sponge is separated from the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522, the positive electrode 521 and the negative electrode 522 are disconnected, and the short-circuit signal disappears. Of course, the conductive element 51 is not limited to a conductive sponge and can also be other conductive objects with conductive properties.

[0122] In this embodiment, the electrode assembly 52 can be disposed on the circuit board 60, or it can be disposed at a distance from the circuit board 60, with a preset distance between them. The electrode assembly 52 can be disposed inside the charging compartment 11, or it can be disposed outside the charging compartment 11, for example, between the circuit board 60 and the locking member 40.

[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the conductive element 51 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 33. One end of the push rod 31 passes through the mounting hole 61 of the circuit board 60 and extends into the charging compartment 11, while the other end of the push rod 31 extends to connect with the elastic element 32. The conductive element 51 is connected to the push rod 31 via the protrusion 33. When the push rod 31 moves, the conductive element 51 changes position with the protrusion 33 (or the push rod 31), thereby enabling it to be separated from or connected to the electrode assembly 52.

[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the electrode assembly 52 includes multiple positive electrode plates 521 and multiple negative electrode plates 522, with the positive electrode plates 521 and negative electrode plates 522 alternately arranged on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 61; the conductive element 51 is arranged around the push rod 31 along the circumference of the push rod 31.

[0125] Specifically, a positive electrode 521 and an adjacent negative electrode 522 form a group of electrode sheets, and multiple groups of electrode sheets are arranged around the outer periphery of the mounting hole 61. The shape of the conductive element 51 corresponds to the arrangement shape of the multiple groups of electrode sheets. For example, the mounting hole 61 is a circular hole, the multiple groups of electrode sheets are arranged to form a ring structure, and the conductive element 51 is a ring-shaped conductive sponge, so as to facilitate the corresponding connection between the conductive element 51 and the multiple groups of electrode sheets.

[0126] For example, the conductive element 51 and the electrode assembly 52 are initially separated. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11 and the push rod 31 is pushed, the conductive element 51 connects with at least one set of electrode plates, that is, a short circuit is formed between at least one positive electrode plate 521 and one negative electrode plate 522, thereby determining that the power bank has been successfully inserted into the charging compartment 11. In actual use, the electrode plates may be damaged or fail due to long-term use. By redundantly setting multiple sets of electrode plates, even if some electrode plates fail, the other electrode plates can still be connected, avoiding the inability to detect due to the failure of a single set of electrode plates.

[0127] In some embodiments, the charging compartment 11 is provided with a micro switch (not shown in the figures) for abutting the power bank.

[0128] Specifically, when a power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, the power bank abuts against a micro switch. The system determines whether a power bank is inserted based on whether the micro switch is triggered, thus improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0129] Furthermore, a microswitch is located on the inner wall of the charging compartment 11 away from its opening. If another type of power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, its smaller length will not match the depth of the compartment, preventing it from contacting and triggering the microswitch. The triggering of the microswitch determines whether the power bank in the charging compartment 11 is of a specific type, thus preventing the incorrect placement of other types of power banks.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the unlocking mechanism 20 includes a motor 21 electrically connected to the circuit board 60 and an unlocking component 22 driven by the motor 21. The motor 21 includes a motor body and a motor spindle. The motor body is assembled and connected to the module body 10 and is located on the side of the circuit board 60 facing the charging compartment 11. The motor spindle is fixedly connected to the unlocking component 22. When the motor 21 drives the unlocking component 22 to move, the unlocking component 22 pushes the locking component 40 to move, thereby unlocking the power bank.

[0131] Specifically, the motor body is the main structure of motor 21, used to generate driving force; the motor spindle is fixedly connected to unlocking component 22, used to transmit the driving force generated by the motor body to unlocking component 22. Motor 21 is electrically connected to circuit board 60, and the processor inside circuit board 60 sends control commands to motor 21, which drives unlocking component 22 to rotate, thereby pushing locking component 40 to unlock the power bank. The form in which unlocking component 22 drives locking component 40 is not specifically limited; it can be one unlocking component 22 driving one locking component 40, or one unlocking component 22 driving two locking components 40.

[0132] In this embodiment, the motor body is located on the side of the circuit board 60 facing the charging compartment 11, and the entire motor body is assembled inside or on the side wall of the charging module 100. The motor body does not occupy space on the circuit board 60, thus avoiding a compact layout of electronic components on the circuit board 60; on the other hand, the motor body is set separately from the circuit board 60, which does not affect the assembly of the circuit board 60, and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the circuit board 60.

[0133] In some embodiments, the motor spindle passes through the circuit board 60 and is fixedly connected to the unlocking member 22.

[0134] Specifically, the motor body and the unlocking component 22 are located on both sides of the circuit board 60. The motor body is assembled inside or on the side wall of the module body 10. Only the motor spindle passes through the circuit board 60 and is fixedly connected to the unlocking component 22. The motor body does not occupy the assembly space of the circuit board 60.

[0135] In some embodiments, the unlocking component 22 passes through the circuit board 60 and is fixedly connected to the motor spindle.

[0136] Specifically, the unlocking component 22 is provided with a sleeve portion (not shown in the figure) for fixing to the motor spindle. The motor body and the motor spindle are both located on the side of the circuit board 60 facing the charging compartment 11, and the sleeve portion of the unlocking component 22 passes through the circuit board 60 and is fixedly connected to the motor spindle.

[0137] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the module body 10 has an installation cavity 18 at one end away from the opening of the charging compartment 11. The installation cavity 18 is spaced apart from the charging compartment 11, and the motor body is housed in the installation cavity 18.

[0138] Specifically, the back of the module body 10 is a mounting surface 12, and a mounting cavity 18 is recessed from the mounting surface 12 into the module body 10, providing assembly space for the motor body. The mounting cavity 18 is spaced apart from the charging compartment 11, and the motor body is assembled inside the module body 10, without occupying the space of the circuit board 60. This avoids making the layout of electronic components on the circuit board 60 too compact, while also reducing the space occupied by the motor 21 outside the module body 10, reducing the volume of the charging module 100, and thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the charging module 100.

[0139] In some embodiments, the circuit board 60 is assembled onto the mounting surface 12 by screws or other means, and the motor body is enclosed in the mounting cavity 18. The circuit board 60 is tightly integrated with the module body 10, which enhances the structural compactness of the charging module 100 and reduces the volume of the charging module 100.

[0140] In some embodiments, the depth of the recess in the mounting cavity 18 from the mounting surface 12 into the module body 10 is greater than or equal to the length of the motor body in the extending direction of the charging compartment 11.

[0141] Specifically, the motor body has a top end and a bottom end. The length of the motor body in the extension direction of the charging compartment 11 is the length dimension from the top end of the motor body to the bottom end of the motor body. The depth dimension of the mounting cavity 18 is not less than the length dimension of the motor body, so as to ensure that there is a sufficiently deep space in the mounting cavity 18 to assemble the motor body.

[0142] For example, the depth of the mounting cavity 18 is equal to the length of the motor body, and the motor body can be fitted into the mounting cavity 18 and covered by the circuit board 60.

[0143] For example, the depth of the mounting cavity 18 is greater than the length of the motor body. After the motor body is assembled in the mounting cavity 18, there is a certain accommodating space between the top or bottom of the motor body and the mounting cavity 18. The accommodating space can be used to arrange a heat sink to improve the heat dissipation performance of the motor 21.

[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the module body 10 is provided with a snap hook structure 19, which is used to snap and connect with the motor body to fix the motor body in the mounting cavity 18.

[0145] Specifically, in this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​structure 19 is used to connect the motor body to the snap-fit ​​mechanism. Compared to screw fixing, this reduces the need for fasteners (screws and nuts), lowering material costs. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure 19 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can absorb vibrations generated by the motor 21. Moreover, screw fixing requires screw holes in the motor body, which are prone to stress concentration. The snap-fit ​​connection avoids drilling, reducing the risk of stress concentration and extending the service life of the motor 21.

[0146] For example, the latch structure 19 includes a first latch and a second latch, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the inner wall of the mounting cavity 18, fixing the motor body on both sides and providing a more balanced and stable fixing force to prevent the motor body from loosening within the mounting cavity 18, thereby maintaining the stable position of the motor 21. Furthermore, the first and second latches can be adjusted in clamping force to facilitate the installation or removal of the motor body.

[0147] In some embodiments, the top of the motor body is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the snap-fit ​​structure 19. When the motor body is fixed in the mounting cavity 18, the snap-fit ​​structure 19 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection with the motor body.

[0148] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the locking member 40 is provided with an inclined surface 43, and the unlocking member 22 is provided with a push top 221. The two sides of the push top 221 are provided with push surfaces 222 that cooperate with the inclined surface 43. When the unlocking member 22 rotates, the inclined surface 43 is pushed from the push surface 222 to the push top 221 in sequence, so that the locking member 40 unlocks the power bank, and the locking member 40 pushes the push assembly 30 to push the power bank out of the charging compartment 11.

[0149] Specifically, the unlocking component 22 has a push top 221 and a push top surface 222 that smoothly transitions to the push top 221 on the side facing the mounting surface 12. The thickness of the unlocking component 22 gradually increases from the push top surface 222 to the push top 221. When the motor 21 drives the unlocking component 22 to rotate, the inclined surface 43 of the locking component 40 is gradually pushed from the push top surface 222 to the push top 221, realizing the gradual pushing effect of the locking component 40 on the push assembly 30, preventing the push assembly 30 from popping out the power bank instantly, and improving the smoothness of unlocking and popping out the power bank.

[0150] In some embodiments, the charging module 100 has at least two charging compartments 11, and the unlocking mechanism 20 includes a motor 21 and an unlocking member 22 driven by the motor 21. The motor 21 is correspondingly configured in each pair of charging compartments 11. When the motor 21 rotates forward or in reverse, the unlocking member 22 drives the corresponding locking member 40 to move. Figure 6As shown, the module body 10 is provided with a limiting member 80. When the motor 21 rotates forward, the limiting member 80 abuts the unlocking member 22 in the first position; when the motor 21 rotates in reverse, the limiting member 80 abuts the unlocking member 22 in the second position.

[0151] Specifically, in this embodiment, one motor 21 is configured for each pair of charging compartments 11. When the motor 21 rotates forward or backward, the unlocking component 22 drives the corresponding locking component 40 to move. By rotating forward or backward with one motor 21, the function of unlocking two power banks can be achieved, reducing the number of motors 21 required and lowering the cost. Without increasing the number of motors 21, the charging module 100 has a more compact structure, and its size and weight are reduced.

[0152] In one embodiment, the limiting member 80 includes a first abutting post and a second abutting post. When the motor 21 drives the unlocking member 22 to rotate in the forward direction, the first abutting post abuts the unlocking member 22 at a first position; when the motor 21 drives the unlocking member 22 to rotate in the reverse direction, the second abutting post abuts the unlocking member 22 at a second position. The two limiting members 80 achieve the limiting function of the unlocking member 22, preventing excessive rotation angle of the motor spindle and avoiding step loss or failure of the motor 21.

[0153] In one embodiment, the limiting member 80 includes a third abutting post, which has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface. When the motor 21 rotates forward to a preset angle, the unlocking member 22 abuts against the first abutting surface and stops at a first position; when the motor 21 rotates in the reverse direction to a preset angle, the unlocking member 22 abuts against the second abutting surface and stops at a second position. The limiting member 80 achieves the limiting function of the unlocking member 22, preventing the motor spindle from rotating too much and avoiding the motor 21 from losing steps or stepping out of bounds.

[0154] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the side wall of the charging compartment 11 is provided with a first through hole 13; the locking component 40 includes a rotating part 44, an abutting part 45 and a latching part 46. The abutting part 45 and the latching part 46 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating part 44. The rotating part 44 is used to rotately connect with the module body 10, the abutting part 45 is used to abut against the push assembly 30, and the latching part 46 is used to pass through the first through hole 13 to lock the power bank.

[0155] Specifically, the abutment portion 45 extends along a plane parallel to the mounting surface 12. The abutment portion 45 is used to abut against both the unlocking member 22 and the pushing assembly 30. When the motor 21 drives the unlocking member 22 to rotate, the unlocking member 22 drives the abutment portion 45 to transmit the driving force of the unlocking member 22 to the pushing assembly 30.

[0156] In this embodiment, the side wall of the power bank is provided with a slot (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the position of the first through hole 13. The buckle part 46 is used to pass through the first through hole 13 and snap into the slot of the power bank, thereby realizing the function of locking the power bank.

[0157] When the unlocking component 22 drives the locking component 40, it pushes the push assembly 30 through the abutment part 45. The locking component 40 rotates relative to the module body 10 through the rotating part 44, so that the latching part 46 passes through the first through hole 13 to unlock the power bank. At the same time as the locking component 40 unlocks the power bank, the push assembly 30 pushes the power bank out of the charging compartment 11.

[0158] When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, the power bank pushes the push component 30 out of the charging compartment 11 and pushes the latching part 46 out of the charging compartment 11. When the power bank is fully contained in the charging compartment 11, the position of the power bank's slot corresponds to the position of the first through hole 13. The push component 30 is further pushed by the power bank, and the push component 30 pushes the abutment part 45. The locking part 40 rotates relative to the module body 10 through the rotating part 44, so that the latching part 46 passes through the first through hole 13 and is locked into the power bank's slot to lock the power bank.

[0159] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the first distance L1 between the rotation center of the unlocking member 22 and the rotating part 44 is less than the second distance L2 between the contact point and the rotating part 44. The contact point is the initial contact position between the unlocking member 22 and the contact point 45.

[0160] Specifically, the motor 21 drives the unlocking member 22 to rotate, and the unlocking member 22 has a rotation center. The second distance L2 from the initial contact position between the rotation center of the unlocking member 22 and the abutment part 45 to the rotating part 44 is the lever arm length of the locking member 40 when it initially rotates.

[0161] In related technologies, the second distance L2 is less than or equal to the first distance L1, resulting in a shorter lever arm length for the initial rotation of the locking member 40. This requires the motor 21 to provide a larger force to overcome the resistance torque, leading to higher power requirements for the motor 21 to drive the unlocking member 22. This embodiment extends the lever arm length of the locking member 40 to the second distance L2, making it greater than the first distance L1. While overcoming the same resistance torque, this reduces the power required for the motor 21 to drive the unlocking member 22, thereby reducing the operating load on the motor 21 and extending its service life.

[0162] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the charging module 100 also includes a pin 70, which has an insertion end 71 and a fixed end 72 away from the insertion end 71. The insertion end 71 is provided with an opening groove 73 extending axially along the pin 70. The rotating part 44 is provided with a second through hole 47, and the charging module 100 is provided with a third through hole 14. The insertion end 71 passes through the third through hole 14 and the second through hole 47 so that the locking member 40 is rotatably connected to the charging module 100. The outer diameter of the insertion end 71 and the outer diameter of the fixed end 72 are larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 47. The opening groove 73 is used to make the outer diameter of the insertion end 71 smaller than the inner diameter of the second through hole 47 under the action of external force.

[0163] In this embodiment, the pin 70 is used to rotatably connect the locking member 40 to the charging module 100. During installation, the insertion end 71 is first passed through the third through hole 14. Then, a certain external force is applied to the opening groove 73 of the insertion end 71, causing the opening groove 73 to become smaller and able to pass through the second through hole 47 on the rotating part 44. After the insertion end 71 has completely passed through the rotating part 44, the external force is released to restore the shape of the opening groove 73. After installation, since the outer diameter of the insertion end 71 and the outer diameter of the fixed end 72 are larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 47, the locking member 40 can be limited, preventing the locking member 40 from shifting position along the axial direction of the pin 70 during rotation. This prevents the locking member 40 from shifting position and causing a decrease in the contact effect with the unlocking member 22 and the pushing assembly 30.

[0164] In some embodiments, the charging module 100 is provided with at least two charging compartments 11, and the charging module 100 further includes a pin 70; the pin 70 has an insertion end 71 and a fixed end 72 away from the insertion end 71, the rotating part 44 is provided with a second through hole 47, the charging module 100 is provided with a third through hole 14, the insertion end 71 passes through the second through hole 47 and the third through hole 14, so that the locking members 40 corresponding to the at least two charging compartments 11 are rotatably connected to the charging module 100; the outer periphery of the third through hole 14 is provided with a clamping structure 15, which is used to clamp the fixed end 72.

[0165] Specifically, in this embodiment, one motor 21 is configured for each pair of charging compartments 11. The two power banks are unlocked by a motor 21 that can rotate forward or backward. Each charging compartment 11 is equipped with a corresponding locking element 40. During installation, the insertion end 71 is first passed through the third through hole 14. The insertion end 71 passes through the second through hole 47 of one of the locking elements 40 and extends to pass through the second through hole 47 of the other locking element 40, thereby rotatably connecting the two locking elements 40 to the two charging compartments 11. After installation, the fixing end 72 is secured by the clamping structure 15 on the outer periphery of the third through hole 14 to prevent the pin 70 from shifting axially.

[0166] In some embodiments, such as Figures 15 to 18As shown, the housing 101 includes a side plate 102, an upper cover plate 103 connected to the upper end of the side plate 102, and / or a lower cover plate 104 connected to the lower end of the side plate 102; the upper cover plate 103 and / or the lower cover plate 104 are connected to the side plate 102 to form a receiving cavity, and the charging module 100 is disposed in the receiving cavity; the charging module 100 is provided with a charging compartment 11 for accommodating a power bank, and the side plate 102 is provided with a first slot 105 corresponding to the charging compartment 11; the upper cover plate 103 is provided with a guide hole 106, which communicates with the receiving cavity; the lower cover plate 104 is provided with a drain hole 107, which is used to supply water to drain out of the charging unit 200.

[0167] Specifically, in this embodiment, the side plate 102, the upper cover plate 103 and / or the lower cover plate 104 are connected to form a receiving cavity, and the charging module 100 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the housing 101. When water flows directly into the receiving cavity from the guide hole 106 of the upper cover plate 103 or the charging compartment 11, it is discharged out of the charging unit 200 through the drain hole 107 of the lower cover plate 104, or directly discharged out of the charging unit 200 from the receiving cavity, thereby improving the drainage capacity of the charging unit 200, preventing water from accumulating in the receiving cavity, and avoiding damage to the stored power bank.

[0168] In this embodiment, the structural form of the guide hole 106 and the drain hole 107 is not limited. They can be circular, directional, or other shaped through holes, and can be a single through hole structure or multiple through hole structures arranged in parallel. The positions of the guide hole 106 and the drain hole 107 are also not limited. The guide hole 106 can be located at the edge or middle of the upper cover plate 103, as long as it can guide the water to the lower receiving cavity; the drain hole 107 can be located at the edge or middle of the lower cover plate 104, as long as it can drain the water out of the charging unit 200.

[0169] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 includes a single charging unit 200.

[0170] For example, in a single charging unit 200, the housing 101 includes a side plate 102, an upper cover plate 103 and a lower cover plate 104. Water flows into the receiving cavity from the guide hole 106 of the upper cover plate 103 or the charging compartment 11 and is discharged outward from the drain hole 107 of the lower cover plate 104.

[0171] For example, in a single charging unit 200, the housing 101 includes a side plate 102 and a lower cover plate 104, but does not include an upper cover plate 103. Water flows directly from the charging compartment 11 into the receiving cavity and is discharged outward from the drain hole 107 of the lower cover plate 104.

[0172] For example, in a single charging unit 200, the housing 101 includes a side plate 102 and an upper cover plate 103, but does not include a lower cover plate 104. Water flows into the receiving cavity from the guide hole 106 of the upper cover plate 103 or the charging compartment 11, and is discharged directly out of the receiving cavity.

[0173] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 includes two stacked charging units 200, namely an upper charging unit 200 and a lower charging unit 200.

[0174] Specifically, in the upper charging unit 200, the upper cover plate 103 and the side plate 102 are connected to form an upper accommodating cavity; in the lower charging unit 200, the side plate 102, the upper cover plate 103, and the lower cover plate 104 are connected to form a lower accommodating cavity. Water flows into the upper accommodating cavity from the guide hole 106 or the charging chamber 11 in the upper charging unit 200, then flows into the lower accommodating cavity through the guide hole 106 in the lower charging unit 200, and is discharged outward from the drain hole 107 in the lower charging unit 200.

[0175] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 includes three or more stacked charging units 200, namely a top charging unit 200, a middle charging unit 200, and a bottom charging unit 200.

[0176] Specifically, in the upper charging unit 200, the upper cover plate 103 and the side plate 102 are connected to form an upper accommodating cavity; in the middle charging unit 200, the upper cover plate 103 and the side plate 102 are connected to form a middle accommodating cavity; and in the lower charging unit 200, the side plate 102 and the lower cover plate 104 are connected to form a lower accommodating cavity. Water flows into the upper accommodating cavity from the guide hole 106 or the charging chamber 11 in the upper charging unit 200, and then sequentially flows through the guide hole 106 of each middle charging unit 200 through each middle accommodating cavity, collects, and flows into the lower accommodating cavity, before being discharged outwards from the drain hole 107 of the lower charging unit 200.

[0177] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the side plate 102 is provided with a second slot 108 corresponding to the drain hole 107. The drain hole 107 is used to supply water to be discharged from the charging unit 200 through the second slot 108.

[0178] Specifically, in the upper charging unit 200, the upper cover plate 103 and the side plate 102 are connected to form an upper accommodating cavity, and the remaining charging units 200 are connected by the side plate 102 and the lower cover plate 104 to form a lower accommodating cavity. Water flows into the upper accommodating cavity from the guide hole 106 or the charging chamber 11 in the upper charging unit 200, and then flows into the lower accommodating cavity through the guide hole 106 in the lower charging unit 200. Unlike the centralized outward discharge from the drain hole 107 of the lower charging unit 200, in this embodiment, the water flows from the drain hole 107 of each charging unit 200 to the second slot 108, and can be directly discharged outward from the second slot 108 of each charging unit 200. That is, the second slot 108 guides the water to flow out along the edge of the side plate 102, improving drainage efficiency.

[0179] In this embodiment, the drain hole 107 is located at the edge of the lower cover plate 104, and the second slot 108 is located at the edge of the side plate 102. The extension length of the second slot 108 along the edge of the side plate 102 is greater than or equal to the extension length of the drain hole 107 along the edge of the lower cover plate 104, so that the second slot 108 can drain more water.

[0180] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the module body 10 is provided with a water outlet chamber 16, which is spaced apart from the charging chamber 11; the bottom of the charging chamber 11 is provided with a water outlet trough, which is connected to the water outlet chamber 16 or the accommodating cavity; a baffle 17 is provided inside the charging chamber 11, which is rotatably connected to the charging module 100 and is used to seal the charging chamber 11.

[0181] Specifically, when no power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, the baffle 17 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the charging compartment 11, serving to seal the charging compartment 11 and prevent water from the external environment from entering the deep interior of the charging compartment 11. When the power bank is inserted into the charging compartment 11, the power bank pushes open the baffle 17, making the baffle 17 parallel to the extending direction of the charging compartment 11. At this time, if water enters the interior of the charging compartment 11, it will flow from the water outlet channel into the water outlet chamber 16 and out of the module body 10, avoiding accumulation outside the module body 10.

[0182] In some embodiments, such as Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 also includes an information display unit 400, which is used to display at least one of text, pictures, videos and QR codes; the control unit 300 includes a housing 301 and a lighting lamp and a lampshade 302 disposed inside the housing 301. The housing 301 is provided with a display area 303, the information display unit 400 is disposed in the display area 303, the lighting lamp faces the display area 303, and the lampshade 302 covers the lighting lamp.

[0183] Specifically, the information display unit 400 serves as the interactive interface for the shared power bank cabinet 1000. The information display unit 400 displays basic information such as operation steps, rental fees, and return procedures through text, images, or photos, making the information more intuitive and easy to understand. The information display unit 400 also uses animations or short videos to showcase usage tutorials or advertisements for the power banks, increasing the attractiveness of the shared power bank cabinet 1000. The information display unit 400 can also display QR codes, allowing users to scan the QR code via a client app to complete payment, borrowing, and returning the power banks, reducing operation steps and time, and improving rental efficiency.

[0184] In addition, the information display unit 400 is also used to publish maintenance notices, event announcements and other information for the shared power bank cabinet 1000, thereby improving the management efficiency of the cabinet and user satisfaction.

[0185] In some embodiments, the information display unit 400 is a display screen, such as an LED display screen or a liquid crystal display screen, or other multimedia devices with display functions.

[0186] Furthermore, such as Figure 19 As shown, the control unit 300 includes a housing 301 and a lamp and a lampshade 302 disposed inside the housing 301. The housing 301 has a display area 303, and the information display unit 400 is disposed in the display area 303. The lamp faces the display area 303, and the lampshade 302 covers the lamp.

[0187] Specifically, the control unit 300 includes a housing 301, and a controller, a light, and a lampshade 302 are installed inside the housing 301. In this embodiment, a display area 303 is provided on the side of the housing 301 facing the opening of the charging compartment 11. The information display unit 400 (such as an LED display screen) is installed in the display area 303 of the housing 301 to facilitate operations such as scanning codes when the user is facing the opening of the charging compartment 11. The light is installed inside the housing 301 and faces the display area 303 to provide light. The lampshade 302 covers the light to protect it from damage and extend its lifespan. The lampshade 302 also guides the direction of light so that the light emitted by the light shines evenly on the display area 303, clearly displaying relevant information.

[0188] In some embodiments, the housing 301 is provided with illuminated characters, which are used to flash when the user returns the power bank, indicating whether the return of the power bank was successful or unsuccessful.

[0189] In some embodiments, such as Figure 18As shown, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 also includes a backup power unit and a backup power slot 500; the backup power slot 500 is located in the control unit 300, and the backup power unit is located in the backup power slot 500, which is used to provide backup power for the shared power bank cabinet 1000.

[0190] Specifically, the control unit 300 also includes a backup power supply slot 500 within its housing 301 for installing and fixing a backup power supply unit. This backup power supply unit is an independent power source, such as a long-lasting battery. When the main power supply (mains power) fails or is insufficient, the backup power unit continues to provide power to the shared power bank cabinet 1000 as a backup power source, ensuring the shared power bank cabinet 1000 can continue operating in emergency situations of sudden power outages and guaranteeing that the power bank rental service will not be interrupted for a short period to meet users' rental needs.

[0191] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 further includes a laser receiving unit (not shown in the figures); the laser receiving unit is located inside the charging compartment 11 and is used to receive the laser signal emitted by the power bank.

[0192] Specifically, when a power bank is placed in charging compartment 11, the laser receiving unit receives the laser signal emitted by the power bank and deciphers its identification information. Based on this information, the corresponding charging procedure is initiated, improving charging efficiency and enabling intelligent management of the power bank. During the return process, if the power bank is not correctly placed in charging compartment 11, or if there are foreign objects interfering with the return, the laser receiving unit will be unable to receive the normal laser signal. In this case, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 will issue a warning or notification.

[0193] In some embodiments, the shared power bank cabinet 1000 further includes a sensing unit (not shown in the figures), which includes at least one of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, or a gyroscope; the sensing unit is electrically connected to the control unit 300 and is used to detect vibration or movement of the shared power bank cabinet 1000.

[0194] Specifically, the accelerometer can be a three-axis or six-axis accelerometer, used to measure the acceleration of an object in three orthogonal directions. In this embodiment, at least one of an accelerometer, magnetometer, or gyroscope is integrated into the shared power bank cabinet 1000 to detect vibration or movement of the cabinet. The sensing unit collects data such as acceleration, geomagnetic changes, and angular velocity and transmits it to the control unit 300. The control unit 300 then triggers sound or light alarms and sends notifications to the upper-level server.

[0195] In practical applications, when the shared power bank cabinet 1000 is not in use, the control unit 300 enters a sleep mode to save energy. When a user returns a power bank and inserts it into the charging compartment 11, the cabinet vibrates slightly. The sensor unit detects the vibration and sends it as a trigger signal to the control unit 300. The control unit 300 wakes up from the sleep mode and resumes normal operation. At this time, the control unit 300 processes the power bank return process, including identifying the power bank, updating the charging status, recording the return time, etc., and provides feedback on the power bank's return status to the user through the information display unit 400.

[0196] like Figure 19 As shown, this utility model provides a shared power bank rental device, including a power bank and a shared power bank cabinet 1000, with the power bank housed in a charging compartment 11.

[0197] Specifically, in this embodiment, power banks are placed in the charging compartment 11 of the shared power bank cabinet 1000, realizing centralized management and rental services of power banks by the shared power bank rental equipment to meet the rental needs of users.
