Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of portable power banks, and in particular to a portable backup power bank. Background Technology
[0002] With societal progress, portable electric tools such as electric two-wheelers and electric tricycles are becoming increasingly widely used in our lives. As a result, battery technology, which powers these vehicles, is also constantly evolving. The development of backup mobile batteries is showing a trend towards miniaturization, lightweighting, and cordless operation, while continuously developing lithium batteries that meet market demands for safety and consistency.
[0003] Existing power banks generally consist of a housing and a battery pack installed inside the housing. The housing is usually made up of a front shell and a bottom shell, which are fixed together by screws. A sealing ring is set between the front shell and the bottom shell to achieve a sealed connection. When the screws connecting the front shell and the bottom shell are not tightened properly or the screws are loose, water can seep into the housing at the screw connection point, resulting in a high failure rate of the power bank. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable backup power supply to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:
[0006] According to one aspect of this utility model, a portable backup power bank is designed, comprising: a housing and a battery pack, a conductive plate, and a control circuit board installed within the housing. The battery pack and the conductive plate are electrically connected to the control circuit board. The housing includes a front shell and a bottom shell. The front shell has multiple display through holes and a mounting hole. A light-transmitting silicone sealant is provided at the position of each display through hole. Multiple protrusions on the silicone sealant are inserted into the multiple display through holes and make sealing contact with the inner sidewall of the display through holes. A button cap made of silicone material is installed in the mounting hole and makes sealing contact with its sidewall. The conductive plate is fixed to the inner side of the front shell, and multiple power indicator LEDs on it are placed in the grooves on the multiple protrusions. A switch button on it is placed in the button cap. A waterproof rubber ring is provided between the front shell and the bottom shell. The bottom of the bottom shell has multiple countersunk holes. The threaded ends of multiple screws pass through the multiple countersunk holes and lock into the threaded holes on the front shell. A sealing plug is provided in each countersunk hole and makes sealing contact with its sidewall.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a sealing plug is installed in the countersunk hole on the shell to seal against its side wall. The sealing plug can prevent water from seeping into the shell from the screw connection position, thus improving the sealing performance of the power bank. Multiple protrusions on the silicone seal are inserted into multiple display through holes to seal against its inner side wall. A button cap is installed in the mounting hole to seal against its side wall. This can achieve overall waterproofing of the power bank, improve the overall waterproofing effect, thereby reducing the failure rate and extending the service life.
[0008] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:
[0009] In some embodiments, the control circuit board is electrically connected to a charge / discharge connector line, which is provided with an annular sealing groove. One side wall of the annular sealing groove is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the housing, and the other side wall is in sealing contact with the outer wall of the housing. This prevents water leakage at the connection point between the charge / discharge connector line and the housing.
[0010] In some embodiments, the front cover is provided with a mounting groove, and a USB interface and a TYPE-C interface, which are electrically connected to the control circuit board, are installed at two connection holes at the bottom of the mounting groove. A silicone sealing cover is fitted inside the mounting groove. Power can be supplied to the device through the USB interface and the TYPE-C interface, and the silicone sealing cover can prevent rainwater from entering the USB interface and the TYPE-C interface.
[0011] In some embodiments, the outer side of the housing is provided with a receiving groove into which the charging / discharging connector cable can be inserted, and the side wall of the receiving groove is provided with a snap-fit protrusion to prevent the charging / discharging connector cable from detaching from the receiving groove. This allows for the storage and fixation of the charging / discharging connector cable.
[0012] In some embodiments, the countersunk hole consists of a blind hole and a through hole at the bottom of the blind hole. The sidewall of the blind hole has an annular groove, and the outer sidewall of the sealing plug has an annular protrusion. The annular protrusion engages with the annular groove, creating a sealing contact. This engagement of the annular protrusion and groove prevents the sealing plug from separating from the blind hole, ensuring that the sealing effect is not affected.
[0013] In some embodiments, both the annular protrusion and the annular groove are semi-circular in shape. Attached Figure Description
