Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile power supplies, and more specifically, to a portable mobile power supply with a flexible photovoltaic module storage slot. Background Technology

[0002] A power bank is a portable charging device that provides power to various electronic devices when no direct power supply is available. Power banks are connected to an external power source (such as AC power) via a charging cable to charge themselves. When other devices need to be charged, they are connected to the device through the power bank's output interface to provide power.

[0003] Most portable power banks on the market currently rely on AC power for charging via charging cables. However, in outdoor environments where AC power is unavailable, once the power bank runs out of power, it's difficult to find a suitable charging method for emergency charging, leading to unusable devices and significant inconvenience for users. For example, users camping in the wild or on long hiking trips may not have access to AC power for several days, making traditional portable power banks unable to meet the charging needs of their electronic devices. Some portable power banks with photovoltaic charging capabilities have their photovoltaic modules installed on the outside of the power bank casing, which can be damaged by collisions with other objects during transport.

[0036] When the power bank of this application is low on power and requires emergency charging, first lift the two elastic covers upwards, remove the two pins, then open the first side cover, and pull out the flexible photovoltaic module from the first opening of the receiving slot. Next, unfold the flexible photovoltaic module (which is housed in a U-shape within the receiving slot), and convert solar energy into electrical energy through the flexible photovoltaic module, thereby charging the power bank. After use, insert the flexible photovoltaic module back into the receiving slot, then close the first side cover, insert the pins, and close the elastic cover.

[0037] When the flexible photovoltaic module is housed in the receiving tank, the fan unit of this application can help dry the flexible photovoltaic module, thereby preventing moisture, and can also help the power bank to actively dissipate heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the power bank.
