Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power adapters, specifically a waterproof structure for the outer shell of a power adapter. Background Technology

[0002] A power adapter, also known as an external power supply, is a power conversion device for small portable electronic devices and appliances. A power adapter typically consists of a casing, transformer, inductor, capacitor, control IC, PCB board, and other components. Its working principle involves converting AC input to DC output. It converts AC power from a power outlet or other power source into the DC power required by the device, thus providing power. Its output voltage is set according to the device's battery type and charging requirements. Power adapters are usually larger and equipped with charging interfaces and charging status indicator lights. They are mainly used for charging devices such as mobile phones, tablets, electric vehicles, and power tools.

[0003] However, since electric vehicle power adapters are often used for outdoor charging, they are prone to water damage or even fire if they are not stored away in time during rainy weather. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waterproof structure for a power adapter housing, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof structure for a power adapter shell, including a power adapter, the power adapter having a water-blocking protection mechanism on its outer side, the water-blocking protection mechanism including: an upper water-blocking box and a lower water-blocking box, an electrical retaining tube installed at one end of the upper and lower water-blocking boxes, a power plug installed at one end of the power adapter corresponding to the inner side of the electrical retaining tube, a locking sleeve sleeved on the outer side of the power plug, a reserved slot provided on the inner side wall of the lower water-blocking box, a rubber gasket installed on the outer side of the lower water-blocking box, and a plug-in baffle provided on one side of the upper water-blocking box corresponding to the reserved slot.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper water baffle box and the lower water baffle box are provided with an embedded groove at the end away from the electrical clamp tube, and movable hanging rods are installed on the outer side of the embedded groove at the ends of the upper water baffle box and the lower water baffle box, and a hanging rod is provided on the inner side of one side of the movable hanging rod.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper water baffle box is engaged with the reserved slot through the plug-in baffle plate, and the outer diameter of the upper water baffle box and the lower water baffle box are the same.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the locking sleeve and the electrical clamp tube are fixedly connected by threaded engagement.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a hanging ring is installed at the end of the lower water baffle box near the electrical clamp tube.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a rotating shaft is installed between the movable hanging rod and the upper and lower water baffle boxes, and the movable hanging rod is engaged with the hanging rod.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the electrical plug and the power plug are electrically connected to the power adapter.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The plug-in baffle on the upper baffle box is inserted into the reserved slot inside the lower baffle box. The rubber gasket on the outside of the lower baffle box will cover the joint between the upper and lower baffle boxes, thus preventing water leakage and avoiding damage to the power adapter.

[0015] 2. Hang the hanging ring at the end of the lower water baffle box on the pre-reserved hook position on the electric vehicle body.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a waterproof structure for a power adapter housing, including a power adapter 1. A water-blocking protection mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the power adapter 1. The water-blocking protection mechanism 2 includes an upper water-blocking box 201 and a lower water-blocking box 202. The upper and lower water-blocking boxes 201 and 202 have the same outer diameter. An electrical retaining tube 203 is installed at one end of both the upper and lower water-blocking boxes 201 and 202. A power plug 3 is installed at one end of the power adapter 1 corresponding to the inner side of the electrical retaining tube 203. The lower water-blocking box... A hanging ring 204 is installed at one end of the power plug 3 near the electrical clamp tube 203. A locking sleeve 5 is sleeved on the outside of the power plug 3. The locking sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the electrical clamp tube 203 by thread engagement. A reserved slot 206 is opened on the inner side wall of the lower water baffle box 202. A rubber gasket 207 is installed on the outside of the lower water baffle box 202. A plug-in baffle 205 is opened on one side of the upper water baffle box 201 at the position corresponding to the reserved slot 206. The upper water baffle box 201 is engaged with the reserved slot 206 through the plug-in baffle 205.

[0024] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202 have an embedded groove 208 at the end away from the electrical clamp tube 203. Movable hanging rods 209 are installed on the outer side of the embedded groove 208 at the ends of the upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202. A rotating shaft is installed between the movable hanging rod 209 and the upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202. A hanging rod 210 is provided on the inner side of one side of the movable hanging rod 209. The movable hanging rod 209 and the hanging rod 210 are engaged. An electrical plug 4 is installed on the end of the power adapter 1 away from the power plug 3. Both the electrical plug 4 and the power plug 3 are electrically connected to the power adapter 1. A heat dissipation hole 6 is installed on one side of the electrical plug 4 on the side surface of the power adapter 1.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, a locking sleeve 5 is installed on the outside of the power plug 3. The upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202 are connected to the outside of the power adapter 1. One end of the upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202 with the electric locking tube 203 is placed on the outside of the power plug 3. The insertion baffle 205 on the upper baffle box 201 is inserted into the reserved slot 206 inside the lower baffle box 202. The rubber gasket 207 on the outside of the lower baffle box 202 covers the seam where the upper baffle box 201 and the lower baffle box 202 are connected. The locking sleeve 5 is then used to secure the two connected electric locking tubes 203. After the outer side is fixed by meshing and rotating, the movable hanging rod 209 on the inner side of the recessed groove 208 of the lower water baffle box 202 and the upper water baffle box 201 is rotated as a whole and then engaged with the hanging rod 210. Therefore, the movable hanging rod 209 will support the power adapter 1 installed inside the water protection mechanism 2. When the power plug 3 is inserted into the power supply, the hanging ring 204 at the end of the lower water baffle box 202 is hung on the hook position reserved on the body of the electric vehicle. When it is rainy, the water protection mechanism 2 can prevent water from entering the power adapter 1. At the same time, the recessed groove 208 can provide heat dissipation through the heat dissipation hole 6 on the power adapter 1.
