Abstract
Claims
1. A charging device for use in a vehicle, comprising one or more charging units, each charging unit comprising: A charging interface, located in a wall, is used to connect to the charging port of a predetermined mobile object that requires power supply in order to provide power from the vehicle to the predetermined mobile object; A positioning mechanism is disposed on a bottom surface, which is orthogonal to the wall surface. The positioning mechanism defines a placement part for placing the predetermined moving object in front of the charging interface. When the predetermined moving object is located in the placement part, the charging port of the predetermined moving object is opposite to the charging interface. The positioning mechanism is used to move the predetermined moving object in the placement part toward the charging interface to an alignment state. In the alignment state, the charging port is aligned with the charging interface. A locking mechanism is used to lock the predetermined moving object to maintain the electrical connection state when the charging port of the predetermined moving object is electrically connected to the charging interface. The predetermined mobile object includes an outdoor portable power source.
2. The charging device according to claim 1, wherein the charging unit is defined along a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction along the bottom surface, the longitudinal direction being the direction of movement of the predetermined moving object relative to the charging interface, the transverse direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the positioning mechanism further being used to restrict or prevent the movement of the predetermined moving object in the placement portion in the transverse direction.
3. The charging device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein, The positioning mechanism includes: At least one guide rail defining the placement portion; An auxiliary alignment mechanism is used to move the predetermined moving object toward the charging interface to the alignment state when the predetermined moving object is in the placement part and the distance from the charging interface does not exceed a threshold distance.
4. The charging device of claim 3, wherein, The auxiliary alignment mechanism is a magnetic auxiliary alignment mechanism, which moves the predetermined moving object toward the charging interface to the alignment state by applying a magnetic attraction force to the predetermined moving object.
5. The charging device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein The positioning mechanism also includes: A driving mechanism is configured to: drive the predetermined moving object to move further toward the charging interface to achieve the electrical connection state when the predetermined moving object moves toward the charging interface to the alignment state.
6. The charging device of claim 3, wherein, The at least one guide rail is a spaced-apart pair of guide rails, and the pair of guide rails are provided with elastic latching parts on their opposing inner sides. The elastic latching parts protrude from the guide rail they are located on when no force is applied. The placement part is located on the pair of guide rails; or The placement part is located between the pair of guide rails.
7. The charging device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein, The charging device is integrated into the vehicle; or The charging device is a modular device suitable for detachable installation within a vehicle.
8. The charging device of claim 7, wherein, The charging device is integrally disposed in or adapted to be installed in the spare tire space under the trunk lid of the vehicle without affecting the opening and closing of the trunk lid. When closed, the trunk lid acts as a limiting cover to restrict or prevent the movement of the intended moving object in the vertical direction perpendicular to the bottom surface.
9. The charging device according to claim 1 or 2, comprising two charging units.
10. The charging device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein, The charging device includes a housing that accommodates the one or more charging units, the housing having a bottom surface and a plurality of walls formed perpendicular to and around the bottom surface, the wall surface being the inner side surface of one of the plurality of walls.
11. A vehicle comprising a charging device according to any one of the preceding claims.
