Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides an outdoor power bank, comprising a power bank body 1 and a waterproof silicone component 2. The power bank body 1 has an operating area 11 on its exterior, with a button 12 and an interface 13, and a slot 14 on the operating area 11. The waterproof silicone component 2 includes a cover plate 21, with a retaining strip 22 and an insert 23 protruding from the bottom of the cover plate 21. The cover plate 21 covers the operating area 11, the retaining strip 22 is engaged in the slot 14, and the insert 23 is inserted into the interface 13.

[0038] Specifically, the operation area 11 on the power bank body 1 is sealed by setting a waterproof silicone part 2. The clip 22 can be tightly locked in the slot 14, so that the cover 21 can be stably installed on the operation area 11. This allows the cover 21 to effectively cover the button 12 and the interface 13, thus preventing water from entering. Furthermore, the plug 23 at the bottom of the cover 21 can be inserted into the interface 13, further forming a reliable sealing structure that can block external moisture in all directions. Whether it is rainy weather, humid environment or accidental splashing, it can effectively prevent water from entering the interface 13 of the power bank, thereby avoiding problems such as short circuit of the interface 13 and corrosion of internal circuit components caused by water entering.

[0039] Furthermore, the waterproof silicone part 2 is fixed to the operating area 11 by the clip 22. When the interface 13 is needed, the cover 21 can be easily removed by simply lifting it up; after use, the cover 21 can be quickly put back on to achieve a rapid seal. This convenient assembly and disassembly structure does not bring any additional burden to the user, allowing the user to operate the power bank at any time in an outdoor environment.

[0040] It should be noted that the waterproof silicone component 2 is made of soft silicone, and inserting the plug 23 into the interface 13 will not damage the interface 13.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the card slot 14 is annular, and the button 12 and interface 13 are located within the enclosed area of ​​the card slot 14; the shape of the card strip 22 corresponds to the card slot 14.

[0042] Specifically, the slot 14 can be positioned around the edge of the operating area 11. When the locking strip 22 is inserted into the slot 14, the locking strip 22 can also have a water-blocking effect, preventing water from entering through the gap between the cover plate 21 and the operating area 11. Thus, this embodiment can further improve the waterproof effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, to prevent the waterproof silicone part 2 from being easily lost, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the operating area 11 is provided with a socket 15; the bottom of the cover plate 21 is provided with a post 24, which is inserted into the socket 15. The post 24 is provided with a limiting block 241, which is located inside the power bank body 1; when the card strip 22 is engaged in the card slot 14, there is a certain space between the limiting block 241 and the inner wall of the power bank body 1; when the limiting block 241 abuts against the inner wall of the power bank body 1, the card strip 22 disengages from the card slot 14.

[0044] In other words, such as Figure 7 As shown, the card strip 22 is engaged in the card slot 14 at this time, and there is a space H between the limiting block 241 and the inner wall of the power bank body 1. When it is necessary to open the cover 21, the cover 21 can be lifted to allow the card strip 22 to disengage from the card slot 14. Due to the existence of the space H, the insertion post 24 can rise a certain distance to prevent the limiting block 241 from obstructing the card strip 22 from disengaging from the card slot 14. Due to the presence of the limiting block 241, the insertion post 24 cannot be completely pulled out from the socket 15, so that the waterproof silicone part 2 can remain connected to the power bank body 1. In this way, even if the cover 21 is accidentally opened, it will not be lost. Furthermore, during normal use, there is no need to find a suitable place to store the waterproof silicone part 2 after opening the cover 21.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, after the cover plate 21 is opened, the cover plate 21 can be rotated so that the insertion post 24 rotates relative to the insertion hole 15, thereby exposing the operating area 11.

[0046] Preferably, to facilitate opening the cover plate 21, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a hand-held part 211 protrudes from one side of the cover plate 21, so that the cover plate 21 can be lifted by grasping the hand-held part 211.

[0047] In some embodiments, to further improve ease of use, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the cover plate 21 is provided with an identifier 212 corresponding to the position of the button 12 and the interface 13.

[0048] In this embodiment, even without opening the cover plate 21, the position of the button 12 can be identified by the mark. Since the cover plate 21 is a flexible structure, the button 12 can be pressed directly through the cover plate 21 to control the power bank.

[0049] In some embodiments, to further improve the convenience of outdoor use of the power bank, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power bank body 1 is equipped with a lighting component 3. The lighting component 3 facilitates outdoor activities at night.

[0050] Specifically, the above scheme is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the lighting component 3 includes LED beads 31, lens 32, and waterproof lampshade 33. The waterproof lampshade 33 is sealed to the power bank body 1. The power bank body 1 has a circuit board 16 inside. The LED beads 31 and the button 12 are electrically connected to the circuit board 16. The button 12 is used to control the start and stop of the LED beads 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the switching control of the lighting component 3 can be achieved without opening the cover plate 21.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
