Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to the field of mobile device technology. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a ring charging device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common smart ring charging solutions on the market involve placing the ring on a charging dock connected to a power source. The charging dock contains a charging module with components such as an inverter, and the ring is charged via charging terminals on the module. This type of charging dock design often has significant limitations: most products are developed for a single ring size model, and the ring mounting part of the charging dock is completely compatible with a specific ring size. For example, in a home setting, multiple users living together may own both large and small rings. In this case, the problem with traditional charging docks becomes apparent: rings that don't fit the mounting part may not stay in place due to size mismatch, causing them to wobble or even tilt, resulting in poor charging contact. Therefore, this "one-to-one" design means that consumers who need to charge rings of different sizes must purchase multiple charging docks of the corresponding sizes, increasing usage costs and taking up more home or office space. This multi-device compatibility issue is a major pain point, especially for users who value a minimalist lifestyle.

[0003] In view of this, there is an urgent need to provide a ring charging device that can fix rings of different sizes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least address one or more of the technical problems mentioned above, this disclosure proposes a ring charging device.

[0005] This disclosure provides a ring charging device, including: a charging base for supporting and charging a ring; and an elastic locking assembly including an elastic member and a pressing member, the pressing member being movably disposed on the charging base, the elastic member being connected to the pressing member and the charging base to provide an elastic force to the pressing member toward the ring and the charging base.

[0006] In some embodiments, the pressing member has a guide portion and an abutting portion, the guide portion being slidably connected to the charging base, and the abutting portion being used to abut the ring.

[0007] In some embodiments, the charging base has a guide groove that limits the guide portion, allowing the guide portion to slide along the guide groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, a guide post extending along the extension direction of the guide groove is provided in the guide groove, and a guide hole is provided on the guide portion, the guide hole being shaped to match the guide post.

[0009] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the guide groove is provided with a plurality of inwardly protruding guide rails, which abut against the guide portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, a cover plate is also included, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the guide groove along the extension direction of the guide groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the guide portion further has an elastic element positioning groove, which accommodates and positions the elastic element, with one end of the elastic element abutting the bottom wall of the elastic element positioning groove and the other end abutting the cover plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cover plate is provided with a cover plate limiting groove, and the guide portion is provided with a guide limiting portion protruding toward the cover plate, the guide limiting portion matching the shape of the cover plate limiting groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the abutting part is also provided with a protruding operating button.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the abutment portion is provided with an arc-shaped pressing surface.

[0015] With the ring charging device provided above, this disclosed embodiment includes a charging base for supporting and charging the ring; and an elastic locking component including an elastic member and a pressing member. The pressing member is movably disposed on the charging base, and the elastic member is connected to the pressing member and the charging base, providing an elastic force to the pressing member toward the ring and the charging base. Thus, the ring can be pressed against the charging base by the elastically movable pressing member, and the ring can be stably fixed even when the ring size changes. Attached Figure Description

[0031] This disclosure provides a ring charging device that enhances the versatility of the ring charging device with a simple and reliable structure by providing an adjustable charging section that can be adjusted relative to the terminal spacing direction.

[0032] The specific embodiments disclosed herein will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 An exemplary perspective view of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Figure 2An exemplary exploded view of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown, with the ring to be charged shown in dashed lines. In this embodiment, the ring charging device includes a charging base 10 and an elastic locking assembly 20, wherein the charging base 10 supports and charges the ring 90, and the elastic locking assembly 20 includes an elastic member 22 and a pressing member 21. The pressing member 21 is movably disposed on the charging base 10, and the elastic member 22 is connected to the pressing member 21 and the charging base 10 to provide an elastic force to the pressing member 21 toward the ring 90 and the charging base 10. The charging base 10 is a base for supporting and / or fixing the ring charging device, having a bottom surface for placement on a relatively fixed object such as a desktop, or having a fixing mechanism that can fix it to other relatively fixed objects by means of adhesive, magnetic attraction, etc. The charging base 10 has a charging module, which is connected to an external power source to receive power and to a charging terminal for charging the ring 90. The charging module includes electronic components such as an inverter, while the charging terminals include common power terminals for external charging connectors, such as pogo pins. A ring 90 is at least partially fitted onto a protruding fixing portion 11 of the charging base 10, such that the radially inner side of the ring 90 is supported by the fixing portion 11. The pressing member 21 of the elastic locking assembly 20 is elastically resettable and disposed on the charging base 10, with at least a portion of the pressing member 21 able to press the ring against the fixing portion 11. The elastic member 22 is a component such as a spring that provides elastic force, and it is connected to both the charging base 10 and the pressing member 21 to provide an elastic force to maintain the pressing. Thus, the elastic locking assembly 20 can be moved and adjusted within a certain range relative to the fixing portion 11 of the charging base 10, enabling the pressing and fixing of rings 90 of different sizes against the fixing portion 11.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the charging base 10 includes a vertical main body 12 and a fixing part 11 that protrudes laterally from the vertical main body 12. The interior of the fixing part 11 and the main body 12 is used to accommodate the charging module, while the charging terminal is exposed from one side of the fixing part 11. The fixing part 11 is sized to fit radially inside the ring 90 to be charged. Thus, when charging the ring 90, the ring 90 needs to be fitted onto the outside of the fixing part 11, and the charging connector on the ring 90 needs to be aligned with the exposed charging terminal to connect the charging circuit for charging. The pressing member 21 of the elastic locking assembly 20 is disposed on the main body 12 and can move vertically relative to the main body 12. The elastic member 22 is disposed vertically and is connected to both the main body 12 and the pressing member 21, providing an elastic force to the pressing member 21 toward the fixing part 11 and the ring 90. Therefore, after the ring 90 is fitted onto the fixing part 11, the pressing member 21 of the elastic locking assembly 20 can press against the outer surface of the ring 90 towards the fixing part 11, so as to clamp and fix the ring 90 together with the fixing part 11, so that the ring 90 remains stable during charging. At the same time, since the pressing member 21 can move in the vertical direction, it can still adapt to the change in size of the ring 90 when the size of the ring 90 to be charged changes, and stably fix the ring 90.

[0035] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , Figure 3 An exemplary cross-sectional view of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 An enlarged diagram of part A in the middle. Figure 6 An exemplary perspective view of a pressing member of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the pressing member 21 includes a guide portion 212 and a pressing portion 211. The guide portion 212 is slidably connected to the charging base 10, and the pressing portion 211 is used to press against the ring. Specifically, the pressing member 21 includes a guide portion 212 adjacent to the main body 12 and a pressing portion 211 protruding outward from the main body 12. The outer peripheral shape of the guide portion 212 is configured to cooperate with a corresponding guide structure on the main body 12, so that the guide portion 212 can be guided by the guide structure and move vertically relative to the main body 12. A side of the pressing portion 211 in the vertical direction is used to press against the ring 90.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that the abutment portion 211 and the guide portion 212 can be formed as a single unit and both made of materials such as plastic. However, in some other embodiments, the abutment portion 211 and the guide portion 212 are made of different materials. For example, the abutment portion 211 may be made of a softer material such as rubber, while the guide portion 212 may be made of a material with a certain degree of hardness, such as metal. This ensures the accuracy of the guide portion 212's guidance while preventing the abutment portion 211 from scratching or damaging the ring 90 during contact. Furthermore, the protruding abutment portion 211 can also be used by the user to adjust the position of the pressing member 21 during use. To further improve the stability of the abutment portion 211 when fixing the ring, the bottom of the abutment portion 211 can be formed with the same or similar shape as the outer surface of the ring 90 to be fixed. Since the outer periphery of the ring 90 is often formed as an arc, the bottom of the abutment portion 211 is provided with an arc-shaped pressing surface 217 to match the shape of the outer periphery of the ring 90.

[0037] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 An exemplary perspective view of the pressing member of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the charging base 10 has a guide groove 101 that limits the guide portion 212, allowing the guide portion 212 to slide along the guide groove 101. The guide groove 101 is located inside the body 12 and forms a shape and / or size fit with the guide portion 212 so that the guide portion 212 can be limited within the guide groove 101 and can move along the extending direction of the guide groove 101. When the guide groove 101 extends in a vertical direction, the guide portion 212 engages with the guide groove 101 and can move relative to the guide groove 101 in that vertical direction. In other words, an anti-rotation connection is formed between the guide groove 101 and the guide portion 212, thereby preventing the guide portion 212 from laterally wobbling relative to the body 12. By setting the guide groove 101 to cooperate with the guide part 212, the stability of the pressing part 21 can be improved, the probability of it shaking or deviating when fixed can be reduced, the ring 90 can be fixed more firmly, and the probability of poor contact of the charging part of the ring 90 can be reduced.

[0038] Furthermore, see also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A guide post 102 extending along the extension direction of the guide groove 101 is provided in the guide groove 101. A guide hole 213 is provided on the guide part 212, and the guide hole 213 is shaped to fit the guide post 102. The guide post 102 is fixed relative to the main body 12. When the guide hole 213 is circular, the guide post 102 is also formed into a cylindrical shape that matches the size of the guide hole 213. Those skilled in the art will understand that by adjusting the size of the fitting gap between the guide hole 213 and the guide post 102, the swing amplitude of the guide part 212 relative to the main body 12 can be adjusted, thereby making the swing amplitude of the pressing member 21 relative to the main body 12 reach an ideal range. Thus, the shape fit between the guide hole 213 and the guide post 102 further reduces the lateral deflection of the guide part 212 during movement and improves the positional stability of the guide part 212 relative to the main body 12.

[0039] See you again Figure 2 and Figure 5 When the outer periphery of the guide portion 212 is square, the guide groove 101 is formed such that corresponding abutment members are provided on several outer peripheral surfaces of the guide portion 212. Specifically, a plurality of inwardly protruding guide rails 104 are provided on the inner wall of the guide groove 101, and the guide rails 104 abut against the guide portion 212. As a result, the contact area between the guide groove 101 and the guide portion 212 is smaller, and the frictional resistance generated during relative movement is smaller, making the displacement of the abutment member 21 smoother and less prone to jamming. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments not shown, the guide groove 101 is configured to form a shape fit with the guide portion 212, for example, when the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 212 is square, the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 101 is also formed in a corresponding square shape.

[0040] In addition, see again Figures 2 to 4 The ring charging device also includes a cover plate 30, which is fixedly disposed at the end of the guide groove 101 along the extending direction of the guide groove 101. The cover plate 30 is used to partially close the guide groove 101, and the elastic member 22 is disposed inside the guide groove 101 closed by the cover plate 30. The cover plate 30 serves two purposes: firstly, it closes and protects the guide groove 101 to prevent foreign objects or dust from entering the interior of the guide groove 101 and affecting the sliding of the guide portion 212 or the deformation of the elastic member 22; secondly, it serves as a support member to support one end of the elastic member 22, so that one end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the inner side of the cover plate 30, and the other end abuts against the guide portion 212 of the pressing member 21, thereby assisting the elastic member 22 in providing a stable elastic force.

[0041] Furthermore, the guide portion 212 also has an elastic element positioning groove 214, which accommodates and positions the elastic element 22. One end of the elastic element 22 abuts against the bottom wall of the elastic element positioning groove 214, and the other end abuts against the cover plate 30. The elastic element positioning groove 214 is located on the side of the guide portion 212 facing the cover plate 30, and is generally formed as a groove that matches the shape of the end of the elastic element 22. When the elastic element 22 is a circular spring, the elastic element positioning groove 214 is formed as an annular groove. The elastic element positioning groove 214 positions the end of the elastic element 22, reducing the probability of the elastic element 22 deflecting laterally during extension and retraction, improving the smoothness of the movement of the pressing member 21, and reducing the probability of changes in elastic force or jamming caused by spring deflection. In addition, a connecting bolt is provided on the cover plate 30, the top end of the guide post 102 is adjacent to the cover plate 30, and the top end of the guide post 102 is provided with a threaded hole. The connecting bolt is connected to the threaded hole at the top end of the guide post 102, so that the cover plate 30 can be fixed relative to the charging base 10.

[0042] See you again Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cover plate 30 is also provided with a cover plate limiting groove 301, and the guide portion 212 is provided with a guide limiting portion 215 protruding towards the cover plate 30. The guide limiting portion 215 is shaped to fit the cover plate limiting groove 301. The guide limiting portion 215 is generally formed in a sheet shape, and the cover plate limiting groove 301 is formed to fit the shape and / or size of the guide limiting portion 215. When the pressing member 21 moves along the guide groove 101, the guide limiting portion 215 is located inside the cover plate limiting groove 301, and by means of its cooperation with the cover plate limiting groove 301, an additional guiding structure is formed, thereby further improving the stability of the pressing member 21 when it moves. In addition, the abutting portion 211 is also provided with a protruding operating button 216, which extends perpendicular to the protruding direction of the abutting portion 211 towards both sides of the abutting portion 211. Therefore, when using the ring charging device, the user can conveniently hook the operation buttons 216 located on both sides of the abutment 211 with two fingers of one hand, thereby lifting the pressure member 21 to place or remove the ring 90.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will understand that although the above description includes a vertical main body and a laterally protruding fixing part, the terms "vertical" and "lateral" only describe the relative orientation between the main body and the fixing part, and do not limit the actual arrangement direction of the components of the ring charging device. Furthermore, in some embodiments not shown, the fixing part is inclined relative to the main body, or even collinear, rather than perpendicular to each other, only needing to ensure it can support the ring. Moreover, the pressing member of the elastic locking assembly is not limited to the form described above. For example, in some embodiments not shown, the fixing part protrudes from the end of the main body along the extension direction of the main body, while the elastic locking assembly is an elastic clamp driven by a torsion spring or its own elastic portion. The elastic locking assembly is fixedly connected to the main body on one hand, and on the other hand, its elastically swingable end can move relative to the ring to be fixed, thereby enabling it to clamp and fix rings of different sizes together with the main body.

[0044] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 An exemplary cross-sectional view of a ring charging device according to some embodiments of this disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the ring charging device includes an additional fixing part 311, which is also fixedly disposed on the main body 12 of the charging base 10, and the additional fixing part 311 is also provided with corresponding charging terminals for charging the ring. The ring charging device also includes an additional pressing member 321 and an additional elastic member 322, the additional elastic member 322 being an elastic component such as a spring. Figure 7 As shown, when the elastic element 22 is a spring, the additional elastic element 322 is a spring coaxially arranged with the elastic element 22. The outer diameter of the additional elastic element 322 is smaller than the inner diameter of the elastic element 22, allowing the additional elastic element 322 to be positioned radially inside the elastic element 22. By adjusting parameters such as the wire diameter, length, and outer diameter of the elastic element 22 and the additional elastic element 322, the elastic element 22 and the additional elastic element 322 can be adapted to press and fix rings of different thicknesses. Therefore, while increasing the number of ring charging positions, a more compact and simple structure can be used to fix and charge rings of various sizes, further enhancing the versatility of the ring charging device.

[0045] The ring charging device according to the embodiments of this disclosure, by providing a charging base and an elastic locking component that can move elastically relative to the charging base and abut against the charging base to fix the ring, can adapt to fixing and charging rings of various different sizes, saving the trouble of designing adaptations for various ring models, and reducing the cost increase and resource waste associated with the production of corresponding adaptation components.

[0046] While numerous embodiments of this disclosure have been shown and described herein, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Many modifications, alterations, and alternatives will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and intent of this disclosure. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of this disclosure described herein may be employed in the practice of this disclosure. The appended claims are intended to define the scope of this disclosure and therefore cover equivalents or alternatives within the scope of these claims.
