Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor power supply. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor activities such as camping, road trips, and outdoor work, outdoor power supplies (or portable energy storage power supplies) have been widely used as devices that can provide off-grid power.

[0003] However, the outdoor environment is complex and changeable, especially in the event of sudden weather changes (such as sudden rainfall), making power equipment highly susceptible to damage from water ingress. Currently, while outdoor power supplies on the market employ some waterproofing measures, they generally have shortcomings. For example, most products only have rubber or silicone waterproof plugs on the power socket. This method offers limited protection against continuous rain falling from heights, and water can seep into the socket area through gaps in the casing or panel. If the user is unaware and inserts a water-soaked appliance into a damp socket, it can easily cause a short circuit, damaging the appliance or even leading to a safety accident.

[0004] Furthermore, some waterproofing solutions rely on additional waterproof covers or storage bags, which increases the operational steps and reduces convenience during use. Therefore, designing an outdoor power supply that is simple in structure, highly reliable, and can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the core socket area without affecting daily use is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the technical problem that existing outdoor power supplies cannot effectively prevent water from flowing into the socket area when encountering falling water from heights, which may lead to equipment damage. This invention provides an integrated outdoor power supply that can actively guide water flow, comprising:

[0006] The power supply body (10) has a socket area (20) at its front end and a charging area (30) at its rear end.

[0007] A waterproof shell (40) is disposed on the top of the power supply body (10), and the front and rear edges of the waterproof shell (40) extend beyond the socket area (20) and the charging area (30) respectively.

[0008] and at least one pad (50) is disposed at the bottom of the power supply body (10);

[0009] The thickness of the pad (50) at the end located in the charging area (30) is greater than the thickness at the end located in the socket area (20).

[0010] Preferably, the waterproof shell (40) has an upwardly convex arcuate surface.

[0011] Preferably, the front and rear edges of the waterproof shell (40) extend 2 to 3 centimeters beyond the horizontal range of the socket area (20) and the charging area (30).

[0012] Preferably, there are two pads (50), which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the power supply body (10).

[0013] Preferably, the charging area (30) is provided with a waterproof cover (60), the waterproof cover (60) is provided with a plug (61), and the charging area (30) is provided with a slot (31) that matches the plug (61).

[0014] Preferably, the charging area (30) includes an AC charging area (32) and a DC charging area (33).

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Active flow guidance and reliable protection: By setting a thickness difference on the pad strip (50), the main body of the power supply (10) naturally forms an inclined angle with the front lower and the back higher on the horizontal plane. When water falls from a height, the waterproof shell (40) at the top can catch the water flow and use the inclined angle to guide the water flow forward quickly.

[0018] The ingenious structure prevents backflow: The extended edge design of the waterproof shell (40) ensures that when the water flows away from the edge of the shell, its drip point is located in the safe area in front of the socket area (20), forming a "water curtain", which effectively prevents the water from flowing directly or along the side wall of the machine body into the socket area below, and the protection effect is significant.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the outdoor power supply of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The following will be combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 The specific implementation method of this solution will be described in detail.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an outdoor power supply, including a power supply body (10) that is generally rectangular. A socket area (20) is centrally located on the front panel of the power supply body (10), which may include an AC output socket and a USB output port. A charging area (30) is located on the rear panel of the power supply body (10), which may include a DC input port and a solar charging port.

[0030] A waterproof shell (40) is provided on the top of the power supply body (10). The waterproof shell (40) has an upwardly convex curved surface, preferably designed with a texture similar to a tortoise shell, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but the grooves on its surface also help to guide water flow and prevent water overflow. The front and rear edges of the waterproof shell (40) extend outwards, horizontally beyond the socket area (20) and charging area (30) below, preferably by 2 to 3 centimeters. This distance is optimized to ensure that water droplets will not splash into the socket when dripping naturally.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the power supply body (10) has two symmetrical pads (50) extending in the front-to-back direction. These two pads (50) are fixed to the bottom with strong adhesive or screws. The key design is that the thickness of each pad (50) is gradually changing, with the thickness of its rear end (the side closer to the charging area 30) being greater than that of its front end (the side closer to the socket area 20). This thickness difference causes the entire outdoor power supply body (10) to naturally form a forward tilt angle of 3 to 8 degrees when placed on a level ground.

[0032] To protect the rear charging area (30), a waterproof cover (60) is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the waterproof cover (60) has a T-shaped or rectangular insert (61), and a corresponding slot (31) in the charging area (30) is provided that perfectly matches the shape and size of the insert (61). By inserting the insert (61) into the slot (31), a secure mechanical lock and excellent sealing effect can be achieved, preventing moisture and dust from entering.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment of this solution, the charging area (30) includes an AC charging area (32) and a DC charging area (33), which can be adapted to the charging needs of different products.

[0034] The working principle of this solution is as follows: Figure 4 As shown:

[0035] When it rains, water droplets (W) fall from above onto the curved surface of the waterproof housing (40). Due to the asymmetrical thickness design of the pad (50), the entire power supply body (10) is tilted forward. Under the influence of gravity, the water droplets (W) flow rapidly forward along the inclined surface of the waterproof housing (40) (i.e., in the direction of the socket area 20). When the water reaches the front edge of the waterproof housing (40), since this edge extends beyond the socket area (20) by a distance L, the water will drip from the edge, and its drip trajectory is in front of the socket area (20), thus perfectly avoiding the vulnerable electrical interface and achieving the purpose of active current diversion and protection.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
