Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power bank technology, specifically to a multifunctional outdoor power bank. Background Technology

[0002] Power banks are now ubiquitous in people's lives. People usually carry one when they go out to ensure they can charge their phones anytime, anywhere. However, people are often bothered by mosquitoes in areas with many insects, so power banks with mosquito-repellent functions have emerged.

[0003] For example, utility model patent publication number "CN208690948U", entitled "A Mosquito Repellent Power Bank", discloses a mosquito repellent power bank. Its components include: a charging interface on one side of the power bank; a mounting slot and an electronic liquid tank on the power bank; a USB port at the bottom of the mounting slot; a mosquito repellent box inside the mounting slot; a rotatable USB connector at the bottom of the mosquito repellent box; a heating rod inside the electronic liquid tank; heat insulation blocks around the electronic liquid tank; and a perforated cover on the electronic liquid tank. While it can achieve a mosquito repellent effect, the mosquito repellent liquid used is not very convenient to fill and carry, and there is a risk of leakage.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, utility model patent CN118842124A, entitled "An Integrated Portable Power Bank with Mosquito Repellent Function," discloses an integrated portable power bank with mosquito repellent function. The power bank includes a shell, a PCB board, and a battery cell. The PCB board and battery cell are embedded within the shell. A microcontroller is mounted on the PCB board, along with a heating control circuit and a power bank control circuit connected to the microcontroller. One end of the shell has a slot for inserting a dry mosquito repellent sheet. The heating control circuit heats the dry mosquito repellent sheet, and the microcontroller controls the heating control circuit to turn on or off. While this design improves the portability and mosquito repellent effect of the power bank to some extent, its overall flat, square shape occupies a significant amount of space, making it unsuitable for outdoor use.
