Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle chargers, and in particular to a vehicle charger. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, with the development and progress of technology, mobile phone use has become quite common, leading to a growing market demand for portable charging and increasingly diversified charging methods, such as power banks and car chargers. Among these, car chargers have been widely accepted and used by a considerable number of people due to their advantages such as large charging capacity and high convenience.

[0003] However, the technology of car chargers is not yet fully mature. Generally, if the charging time is too long, it will cause serious overheating. Existing car chargers generally have defects such as unstable voltage output, lack of overload protection circuits, and lack of over-temperature protection functions, resulting in low product safety. If used for a long time, it will easily cause unnecessary safety accidents.

[0004] Later, a type of car charger with fast heat dissipation and cooling appeared on the market, such as CN216290276U. It includes a plastic shell body, with a heat dissipation hole A at the front end of the plastic shell body, a base installed at the rear end of the plastic shell body, a heat dissipation hole B at one end of the base, a USB port at the center of the base, a movable button connected to the outer wall of the plastic shell body, a circuit board installed inside the plastic shell body, and a charger plug at the top of the heat dissipation hole A. A connecting spring is connected to one end of the charger plug. The addition of heat dissipation holes to the car charger body accelerates heat dissipation, which helps to reduce the temperature of the car charger body and avoid overheating, thereby reducing safety hazards. However, relying on a single heat dissipation method cannot fundamentally solve the problem of unstable voltage output when overheating. Secondly, the function of this type of car charger is too limited, only having a charging function.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a vehicle charger in which the first heat dissipation hole, the second heat dissipation hole, and the power-off protection mechanism work together. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the charging connection is too high, it will transmit a signal to the first relay, causing the first relay to shut down the circuit in the charging circuit. This can automatically disconnect the charging circuit from the output voltage of the car battery, realize the power-off protection of the vehicle charger, enhance the safety of the vehicle charger, and reduce safety hazards.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A vehicle charger includes a charger body and a cigarette lighter. The charger body includes a power plug and a charging connection. The power plug and the charging connection are connected vertically to form an installation cavity. The cigarette lighter is disposed on the lower end face of the power plug, and a spring is also provided on the lower end face of the power plug. A circuit board is disposed inside the installation cavity.

[0009] The charging connector is provided with a plurality of charging ports, which are spaced apart on the upper surface of the charging connector and electrically connected to the circuit board; a connector connecting wire is connected to one of the charging ports.

[0010] The power plug is also provided with a first heat dissipation hole; the circuit board is provided with a charging circuit; the mounting cavity is provided with a negative ion generator and a power failure protection mechanism; the negative ion generator is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0011] The circuit board is also equipped with a charging power detection circuit, which is connected to the charging port and the touch screen; a ring-shaped colored light is also provided on the upper surface of the charging connection part; a voltage comparison module is connected to the charging power detection circuit, and the voltage comparison module is electrically connected to the ring-shaped colored light.

[0012] The charging connector is also provided with a second heat dissipation hole, a mounting slot, and a purification port for dispersing negative ions into the air; the first and second heat dissipation holes are connected to the mounting cavity; the purification port is located next to the charging port; the input end of the purification port is connected to the output end of the negative ion generator.

[0013] The power failure protection mechanism includes a first relay, a touch screen, and a temperature sensor; the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the first relay; the first relay is electrically connected to the charging circuit to turn the charging circuit on or off; the touch screen is disposed in a mounting slot.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the ring-shaped colored light includes red LEDs and green LEDs; when the red LEDs are lit and the green LEDs are not lit, the ring-shaped colored light is in a first state; when the red LEDs are not lit and the green LEDs are lit, the ring-shaped colored light is in a second state.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the voltage comparison module includes a voltage detection circuit and a voltage comparison circuit; the voltage detection circuit detects the voltage output by the car battery and inputs the detection result to the voltage comparison circuit, which compares the detection result with a preset voltage value; when the detection result is greater than the preset voltage value, the voltage comparison circuit controls the ring light to be in a first state, and when the detection result is less than or equal to the preset voltage value, the voltage comparison circuit controls the ring light to be in a second state.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the voltage comparison circuit is a voltage comparator.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, a second relay is electrically connected to the circuit board, the second relay is electrically connected to the touch screen, and the second relay is electrically connected to the negative ion generator to turn the negative ion generator on or off; thus, the negative ion generator can be controlled to turn on or off via the touch screen, eliminating the need for a separate control switch.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly uses the design of the first heat dissipation hole and the second heat dissipation hole, which helps to reduce the temperature of the car charger body and avoid overheating of the car charger.

[0019] Secondly, the design and coordination of the first relay, touch screen, and temperature sensor are crucial. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the first relay, which is electrically connected to the charging circuit to turn the charging circuit on or off. Thus, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the charging connection is too high, it will transmit a signal to the first relay, causing the first relay to shut down the circuit in the charging circuit. This automatically disconnects the charging circuit from the output voltage of the car battery and provides power-off protection for the on-board charger, enhancing the safety of the on-board charger and reducing safety hazards.

[0020] Next is the design of the negative ion generator, which enables the car charger to not only meet the needs of charging electronic devices, but also generate negative ions to purify the air inside the car and eliminate odors.

[0021] Finally, there is the design of the charging power detection circuit. Its voltage comparison module detects and compares the voltage output by the car battery, and controls the ring light to be in the first or second state based on the comparison result. It can provide a reminder when the car battery voltage is too low.
