[0027] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0030] An embodiment of this utility model provides a battery box with a charging interface, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the device includes a battery box body 100, which can hold batteries. The battery box body 100 is provided with an openable and closable first cover 310. The first cover 310 can be opened or closed. When the first cover 310 is open, the user can put batteries into or take out batteries from the battery box body 100. When the first cover 310 is closed, it seals the batteries in the battery box body 100, which plays a role in dust protection for the batteries.

[0031] A mounting base 200 is provided on one side of the battery box body 100. The mounting base 200 can be fixed to the outer side of the battery box body 100, or the battery box body 100 and the mounting base 200 can be integrally formed. A connector 400 is fixed on the mounting base 200, and a charging interface 40 is provided on the connector 400. After the corresponding plug is connected, the charging interface 40 can transmit electrical energy. The charging interface 40 includes, but is not limited to, a cylindrical DC interface, a Micro-USB interface, a Type-C interface, and a Lightning interface, which can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the user's needs.

[0032] The battery box with a charging interface also includes a second cover 320, which can cover and open the charging interface 40. When the second cover 320 covers the charging interface 40, it provides dust protection for the charging interface 40. When the second cover 320 opens the charging interface 40, the charging interface 40 is exposed and the user can use the charging interface 40 normally.

[0033] In this embodiment, the charging interface 40 is located outside the battery box body 100. The battery box body 100 and the charging interface 40 each have independent covers. The charging interface 40 is not affected by the first cover 310. When the user needs to use the charging interface 40, he / she only needs to open the second cover 320. This will prevent the battery from falling out of the battery box body 100, making it more convenient for the user and improving the user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second cover 320 is connected to a bendable connecting strip 330, one end of which is connected to the second cover 320 and the other end is fixedly connected to the connector 400. The connecting strip 330 connects the second cover 320 to the connector 400, making it less likely to be lost when the second cover 320 is opened, and easier for the user to find and re-close the charging port 40. Simultaneously, the bendable connecting strip 330 allows the second cover 320 to move relative to the connector 400, ensuring that the second cover 320 can be both closed and opened of the charging port 40.

[0035] Furthermore, a collar 340 is sleeved on the outside of the connector 400, and one end of the connecting strip 330 near the connector 400 is connected to the collar 340. The connecting strip 330 is fixed to the connector 400 by the sleeve, which facilitates the fixing of the connecting strip 330.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connecting strip 330 may be made of flexible materials such as plastic, silicone, or rubber, so that the connecting strip 330 can be bent.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second cover 320, the connecting strip 330, and the collar 340 can be integrally formed, which facilitates overall manufacturing and eliminates the need for the process of installing and fixing them together.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second cover 320 includes a cover plate 321 and a plug 322 disposed on the cover plate 321. When the second cover 320 covers the charging interface 40, the plug 322 is inserted into the charging interface 40. The plug 322 seals the charging interface 40, preventing dust and other impurities from falling into the charging interface 40. At the same time, the plug 322 can be secured in the charging interface 40, making it difficult for the second cover 320 covering the charging interface 40 to separate from the connector 400, thus maintaining it in the covered state.

[0039] When the second cover 320 covers the charging interface 40, the cover plate 321 can fit tightly against the surface of the connector 400 to improve the sealing and further prevent dust and other impurities from falling into the charging interface 40.

[0040] In some embodiments, the top surface of the mounting base 200 is provided with a through mounting hole 210, and the connector 400 is snapped into the mounting hole 210. The snap-fit ​​fixing method facilitates the installation and removal of the connector 400.

[0041] Furthermore, the mounting hole 210 includes a first mounting hole 211 and a second mounting hole 212 located below the first mounting hole 211. The first mounting hole 211 and the second mounting hole 212 are connected. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first mounting hole 211 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second mounting hole 212. The first mounting hole 211 extends to the top surface of the mounting base 200, and the second mounting hole 212 extends to the bottom surface of the mounting base 200.

[0042] The connector 400 includes a top plate 410 and a base 420 connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 410. A charging interface 40 is opened on the top surface of the top plate 410. The charging interface 40 can be located solely on the top plate 410 or extend to the base 420. The top plate 410 is located above the mounting base 200, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the top plate 410 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first mounting hole 211, making it difficult for the top plate 410 to pass through the first mounting hole 211. Both sides of the base 420 are provided with elastically deformable buckles 430. The base 420 passes through the mounting hole 210, and the two buckles 430 are fastened to the top wall of the second mounting hole 212.

[0043] When installing the connector 400, the base 420 is inserted into the first mounting hole 211 from above the mounting base 200. Once the latch 430 has fully passed through the first mounting hole 211, it will elastically reset, thus engaging with the top wall of the second mounting hole 212. This prevents the connector 400 from detaching upwards from the mounting base 200. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the top plate 410 is larger than that of the first mounting hole 211, the top plate 410 also cannot easily pass downwards through the first mounting hole 211, thus fixing the entire connector 400 to the mounting base 200. When disassembling the connector 400, it can be pulled upwards. Under this external force, the latch 430 retracts, allowing the connector 400 to disengage upwards from the first mounting hole 211, and the connector 400 can then be removed from the mounting base 200.

[0044] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second mounting hole 212 is provided with reinforcing ribs 213 to enhance the structural strength of the mounting base 200, making the mounting base 200 less prone to damage.

[0045] In some embodiments, the battery box body 100 has a battery compartment for placing batteries. The bottom of the side of the battery box body 100 is provided with an opening 101 communicating with the battery compartment. A conductive sheet 110 is provided at the bottom of the battery compartment. The conductive sheet 110 extends out of the opening 101 and can transmit electrical energy. The portion of the conductive sheet 110 extending out of the opening 101 can be easily connected to external circuits.

[0046] The bottom side of the battery box body 100 is also provided with an outwardly protruding protective base plate 120 and two protective side plates 130. The two protective side plates 130 are connected to the two sides of the protective base plate 120 respectively. The conductive sheet 110 is located above the protective base plate 120 and between the two protective side plates 130. Since the opening 101 is not located on the bottom surface of the battery box body 100, and the conductive sheet 110 is protected by the protective base plate 120 and the two protective side plates 130, when the entire battery box is installed upside down, the protective base plate 120 and the two protective side plates 130 play a good role in preventing water from flowing into the battery compartment through the opening 101, thus ensuring the safety of the battery.

[0047] In some embodiments, the battery box with a charging interface also includes a wire 510 and a plug 520. The two ends of the wire 510 are connected to the connector 400 and the plug 520 respectively. An interface compatible with the plug 520 can be reserved on the electrical product. When wiring, the plug 520 can be inserted into the corresponding interface, which can save the wiring process and make wiring more convenient.

[0048] The width of the plug 520 may be smaller than the diameter of the first mounting hole 211 so that when the connector 400 is disassembled, the plug 520 can pass through the first mounting hole 211 and be disassembled together with the connector 400.
