[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surfboard technology, and in particular to a battery pack for an electric surfboard and an electric surfboard. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, surfing is a popular sport due to its thrilling nature and effective exercise. However, current traditional surfboards require the propulsion of waves to function, rendering them ineffective in calm or low-lying conditions. Therefore, to enable surfing even in calm or low-lying waters, some manufacturers have begun developing and designing electric surfboards.

[0003] Research has found that current electric surfboards generally consist of a board body, a jet pump, and a battery pack. In practice, the battery pack is usually detachably mounted on the upper surface of the board body for easy replacement by the user. However, when the existing battery pack is removed and stored on the beach, there is a frequent risk that unsuspecting people may touch the power supply port while playing. If the battery pack's power supply safety measures are flawed, it can easily be misinterpreted as a user detection, leading to a power supply to the surfboard and resulting in an electric shock accident.

[0029] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention newly designs a battery pack 1 for an electric surfboard 5. The upper surface of the electric surfboard 5 has a recessed battery compartment for mounting and fixing the battery pack 1. Specifically, the battery pack 1 is a top-mounted battery pack, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly, assembly, and use of the battery pack 1. In this implementation, the upper surface of the battery pack 1 can specifically serve as a standing support surface for the user while surfing, so that the user can stand on the electric surfboard 5 to surf during actual use.

[0031] Accordingly, see further Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4To improve the safety of the battery pack 1, this embodiment features a specific optimized design for its structure. The battery pack 1 includes a housing 11, battery cell units disposed within the housing 11, and a power supply circuit. The housing 11 has a power supply port 2, allowing the battery cell units disposed within the housing 11 to establish an electrical connection with the power supply port 2 via the power supply circuit, thereby supplying power to the power supply port 2 using the battery cell units.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a first switch and a second switch are additionally provided on the power supply circuit. The first switch is used to close when the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 comes into contact with a human body, and the second switch is used to close when the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 comes into contact with the board of the electric surfboard 5. When both the first switch and the second switch are closed, the power supply circuit is controlled to conduct, and the battery cell unit supplies power to the power supply port 2 opened on the housing 11.

[0033] To avoid accidental contact with the power supply port 2 on the housing 11, see [link / reference]. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the power supply port 2 can be specifically controlled to be located on the lower surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The electrical connection diagram of the power supply circuit described above is shown in detail. This power supply circuit will only be operational when both the first and second switches are closed, allowing power to be supplied to the power supply port 2 via the battery cells in the battery pack 1. Based on this configuration, power is supplied to the power supply port 2 only when the battery pack 1 is mounted on the electric surfboard 5 and the user steps on or touches the battery pack 1. Once the battery pack 1 is removed from the electric surfboard 5, power will not be supplied to the power supply port 2 during transport or subsequent accidental contact, thus significantly improving the electrical safety of the battery pack 1 and preventing electric shock accidents.

[0035] It should be noted that, in order to achieve better performance and improve user experience, and to avoid situations where the first or second switch fails to close when the housing 11 contacts a human body or when the housing 11 contacts the electric surfboard 5 due to insufficient sensitivity, in actual installation, the first switch can be positioned closer to the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 to better determine whether a human body is in contact with the housing 11; the second switch can be positioned closer to the lower surface of the housing 11 to better determine whether the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 is in contact with the electric surfboard 5. In this embodiment, the first switch can be specifically selected as a pressure-sensitive switch or a capacitive touch switch, and the second switch can be specifically selected as a mechanical contact switch. Of course, this invention does not specifically limit the type of the first and / or second switches; manufacturers can choose appropriate types of switches based on specific production and cost requirements.

[0036] Accordingly, see further Figure 2 As can be seen, to facilitate user operation, the battery pack 1 designed in this utility model is additionally equipped with a cover plate, as well as convenient accessories such as threaded holes 3 and fixed handles 4 on the cover plate. The threaded holes 3 are used to install and fix surfboard pedals. Specifically, the pedals can be secured to the upper surface of the battery pack 1's housing 11 by bolts passing through and threaded into the threaded holes 3. At this time, the user can directly insert their foot into the pedal to bind it to the electric surfboard 5, preventing the user from falling into the water from the electric surfboard 5 during high-speed movement.

[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the battery pack 1, in this embodiment, a cover plate is provided on the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1, and a fixed handle 4 is installed on the cover plate. This fixed handle 4 not only assists the user in gripping and disassembling the battery pack 1, but also facilitates the user's grip during surfing to stabilize their posture on the surfboard. Of course, in some embodiments, the fixed handle 4 can also be directly installed on the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1.

[0038] Of course, in some other embodiments, in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing effect, a telescopic handle can also be provided, which includes an extended state and a retracted state; and the telescopic handle can specifically include a telescopic rod and a gripping member, wherein the telescopic rod includes a first rod body and a second rod body that are slidably connected, the first rod body is connected to the housing 11 of the battery pack 1, one end of the second rod body is sleeved in the first rod body, and the other end is connected to the gripping member.

[0039] In practical applications, the second rod of the telescopic handle can slide relative to the first rod to move the gripper closer to or further away from the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1, thereby allowing the telescopic handle to switch between an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the gripper is positioned higher than the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 in the vertical direction; in the retracted state, the gripper is positioned equal to or lower than the upper surface of the housing 11 of the battery pack 1 in the vertical direction.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper surface", "lower surface", etc. used in this application indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0041] In summary, this utility model designs a novel battery pack 1 for an electric surfboard 5. The battery pack 1 adjusts its power supply circuit by adding a first switch and a second switch. The first switch closes when the housing 11 contacts a human body, and the second switch closes when the housing 11 contacts the surfboard 5. The power supply circuit is only activated when both the first and second switches are closed simultaneously. Power is supplied to the power port 2 using battery cells. This design avoids electric shock caused by accidental contact after the battery pack 1 is removed from the surfboard, thus greatly improving electrical safety. It has good prospects for promotion and application value.
