Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of selfie stick technology, and in particular relates to a selfie stick with charging function. Background Technology

[0002] Selfie sticks have become a common accessory for everyday photography and videography, used to expand shooting angles. As smartphones, action cameras, and other video recording devices become increasingly powerful, their power consumption also increases accordingly, making battery life a particularly prominent issue during extended outdoor shooting or travel.

[0003] To address this issue, products that simply combine selfie sticks with power banks have emerged on the market. Chinese patent application number CN201620177358.6 discloses a selfie stick with charging functionality. This selfie stick includes a handle, a telescopic rod, and a clamping device for holding the shooting device. The movable end of the telescopic rod is hinged to the clamping device, and the fixed end of the telescopic rod is located inside the handle. The handle houses a battery and a main control board with a built-in Bluetooth chip, which is electrically connected to the battery. A power output port is located at the end of the handle, which is electrically connected to both the battery and the main control board, charging the device via an exposed charging cable. However, this design has significant drawbacks: First, the exposed charging cable is prone to tangling and pulling during the extension and retraction of the selfie stick, resulting in a poor user experience and a risk of cable damage. Second, frequent use of the telescopic rod and the exposed cable cause interference, affecting operational smoothness and creating a cluttered appearance. Furthermore, the separate power bank and cable still require users to carry them separately, failing to achieve true integration and convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a selfie stick with charging function to meet the needs of users.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a selfie stick with charging functionality, including a telescopic rod assembly and a power bank assembly. The telescopic rod assembly includes a handle, a hollow telescopic rod body, and a support head. The telescopic rod body forms an adjustable-length support structure, suitable for adjusting the shooting distance. The power bank assembly includes a rechargeable battery and a first charging cable. The rechargeable battery is disposed inside the handle and is suitable for storing electrical energy to provide power for the camera device. One end of the first charging cable is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery. In any telescopic state of the telescopic rod body, the other end of the first charging cable always passes through the hollow telescopic rod body and extends to the support head, thereby providing a charging interface for the camera device mounted on the support head. The telescopic rod body serves as a channel for the first charging cable, achieving "internal charging cable," avoiding the problems of tangling and wear caused by exposed cables.

[0006] Preferably, the power bank assembly also includes a cable retractor disposed within the grip, with the middle or other end of the first charging cable wound around the cable retractor. The cable retractor is adapted to synchronously retract and extend the first charging cable as the telescopic rod extends and retracts. The cable is automatically released when the telescopic rod extends and automatically retracted when it shortens, preventing the cable from slack and sagging or being excessively pulled, protecting the cable and keeping it tidy.

[0007] Preferably, the take-up device includes a take-up housing, a reel rotatably disposed within the take-up housing, and a coil spring adapted to provide a driving force for the reset rotation of the reel. The take-up housing forms a mounting cavity and an inlet and an outlet communicating with the mounting cavity. The first charging cable is wound around the reel, one end of the first charging cable extends through the inlet and is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, and the other end of the first charging cable extends through the outlet and extends to the support head.

[0008] Preferably, the rotation axis of the reel is perpendicular to the extension / retraction direction of the telescopic rod; after the first charging cable is led out from the outlet, its winding / unwinding direction is consistent with the extension / retraction direction of the telescopic rod.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating shaft is provided within the mounting cavity, and the reel is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft. The axis of the rotating shaft is adapted to form the rotation axis of the reel. The reel has an annular protrusion extending axially along the reel. The mounting cavity is formed on the outer periphery of the annular protrusion. A coil spring is disposed inside the annular protrusion of the reel, with one end of the coil spring fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft and the other end of the coil spring fixedly connected to the annular protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, the power bank assembly further includes a first control circuit board, and the handle housing is embedded with a switch button and a power indicator light that are electrically connected to the first control circuit board, so that the user can intuitively grasp the power status and start and stop charging as needed, thereby improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0011] Preferably, the power bank assembly includes a second control circuit board adapted for electrical connection to the rechargeable battery, disposed on the outer side of the cable reel housing, more specifically, on the axial side of the reel. One end of the first charging cable extends through the cable inlet and is electrically connected to the second control circuit board. The second control circuit board, serving as an intermediate circuit node between the first charging cable and the rechargeable battery, assists in functions such as power detection and current adjustment, while simplifying the internal wiring of the grip, improving the utilization of internal space, and enhancing the stability of the charging circuit. The second control circuit board integrates a second charging interface adapted for charging the rechargeable battery, and / or adapted for directly powering the camera device via the first charging cable. This design allows users to continuously power the camera device via an external power bank or other power source, achieving "never-ending power supply."

[0012] Preferably, the second charging port is embedded in the bottom of the grip.

[0013] Preferably, the grip includes a grip housing, which is formed by mating and fitting a first housing and a second housing. The grip housing has grooves formed on it to facilitate gripping, conforming to the contours of the hand and improving grip comfort.

[0014] Preferably, the handle is provided with at least one fixed pulley, at least one of which is located between the cable outlet of the take-up housing and the inlet of the telescopic rod. The first charging cable passes around the fixed pulley, which is adapted to guide the direction of the first charging cable, making the path of the cable from the cable outlet of the take-up housing to the inlet of the telescopic rod smoother, and at the same time reducing cable wear by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction.

[0015] Preferably, the other end of the first charging cable extends directly from the support head to form a charging connector, which can be directly inserted into the charging port of the camera device to achieve "direct connection with one cable".

[0016] Preferably, the support head is provided with a first charging interface, and the other end of the first charging cable is electrically connected to the first charging interface. The camera device is adapted to be charged by connecting to the first charging interface via a separate second charging cable. Connecting the camera device via a separate second charging cable can accommodate different interface types, such as Type-C interface, Lightning interface, etc.

[0017] Preferably, the device also includes a lanyard, comprising a lanyard loop connected to the handle and a connector connected to the lanyard loop. The second charging cable has a cable and connectors at both ends of the cable. The connector is adapted to detachably connect the two connectors of the second charging cable, forming a loop structure for use as a lanyard. The lanyard device enables the second charging cable to serve a dual purpose: the connector can detachably connect the two connectors of the second charging cable to form a loop lanyard, and when not lanyard-bound, the connector is detached, allowing the second charging cable to be used as a charging cable. This prevents cable loss, improves portability, and saves storage space.

[0018] Preferably, the connector has a fixing groove for inserting the two ends, and a locking body extending toward the center of the groove is provided on the two opposite edges of the fixing groove. When the end is inserted into the fixing groove, the locking body locks the end.

[0019] Preferably, the locking body includes an extension portion extending outward along the edge of the slot and a bent portion bending inward relative to the extension portion toward the edge of the slot.

[0020] Preferably, in order to optimize the internal space layout of the grip, the length direction of the rechargeable battery is parallel to the axial direction of the telescopic rod, and the two are arranged adjacent to each other in parallel, reducing the radial space occupied and making the grip structure more compact; the cable retractor is located at the end away from the support head of the telescopic rod to avoid interference with the battery and the telescopic rod, ensuring a reasonable internal component layout and facilitating assembly.

[0021] Preferably, the device also includes a remote control for wirelessly controlling the shooting function of the camera device mounted on the support head. The remote control is detachably attached to the handle. Specifically, the remote control wirelessly controls the shooting mode of the camera device, such as switching between photo / video modes, switching between front and rear cameras, etc., allowing for shooting control without touching the device, which improves operational convenience, especially when shooting from a distance.

[0022] Preferably, the grip housing has a remote control slot with a magnetic strip at the bottom. The remote control is magnetically held in the slot, ensuring it is not easily lost and can be stored neatly.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] By integrating a rechargeable battery into the grip, the selfie stick combines power bank functionality with a long battery life, eliminating worries about running out of power during shooting and reducing the need to carry an external power bank, thus reducing user burden. The first charging cable passes through the hollow telescopic rod to the support head, directly powering the shooting device and solving the problems of carrying and tangling external cables. Furthermore, the cable retractor allows the first charging cable to automatically extend and retract synchronously with the telescopic rod, preventing cable slack and sagging when the rod extends and excessive pulling when it retracts, effectively reducing cable wear and extending its lifespan.

[0025] Specifically, the take-up device provides a stable driving force to the reel through a coil spring. The rotation axis of the reel is perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic rod. In conjunction with the fixed pulley, the cable is guided and flattened, so that the winding and unwinding direction of a portion of the first charging cable is consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic rod, ensuring a smooth and unbiased winding process and improving reliability.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0034] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 The selfie stick with charging function includes a telescopic rod assembly and a power bank assembly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod assembly includes a handle 11, a hollow telescopic rod body 12, and a support head 13. The handle 11 is formed by the mating of a first housing 111 and a second housing 112 with screws or snap fasteners, and its outer surface has a groove 113 for easy gripping. The support head 13 is used to fix mobile phones, cameras, and other video recording devices by means of clamps or magnetic attraction.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power bank assembly is integrated inside the grip 11, including a rechargeable battery 21, a first charging cable 22, a cable retractor 23, and a first control circuit board 241 and a second control circuit board 242 electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 21. The length direction of the rechargeable battery 21 is parallel to the axial direction of the telescopic rod 12, and the two are arranged adjacently and parallel to optimize the narrow space inside the grip 11. The cable retractor 23 is located at the end of the rechargeable battery 21 and the telescopic rod 12, specifically at the end away from the support head 13. The first control circuit board 241 is installed inside the housing of the grip 11 and is electrically connected to the switch button 261 and the power indicator light 262 embedded in the first housing 111, allowing the user to control the power supply and intuitively understand the remaining power.

[0038] In this embodiment, the take-up reel 23 includes a take-up housing 231, a reel, and a coil spring 234. The take-up housing 231 has a mounting cavity and an inlet 232 and an outlet 233 communicating with the cavity. The rotation axis of the reel is perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic rod 12. The reel has an annular protrusion extending along its axial direction, and the mounting cavity is formed on the outer periphery of the annular protrusion. The first charging cable 22 is wound around this annular protrusion. A rotating shaft is provided inside the mounting cavity, and the reel is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft through a bearing or bushing, the axis of the rotating shaft being adapted to form a rotation axis. The coil spring 234 is disposed in the internal space of the annular protrusion, one end of which is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular protrusion. One end of the first charging cable 22 extends through the inlet 232 and is electrically connected to the second control circuit board 242. The second control circuit board 242 is disposed on the outside of the take-up housing 23, specifically on the axial side of the reel. Its main function is to provide a stable electrical connection point, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 21 or via the first control circuit board 241, and provides a pad or socket for the first charging cable 22 extending from the take-up coil 23. The other end of the first charging cable 22 extends out through the outlet 233.

[0039] When the user extends the telescopic pole 12, the retractor 23 simultaneously releases the first charging cable 22. The first charging cable 22 is pulled out, causing the reel to rotate and the coil spring 234 to store energy. When the user retracts the pole, the coil spring 234 releases energy, driving the reel to reverse and automatically retract the first charging cable 22. Regardless of the pole's length, the end of the first charging cable 22 remains stably positioned at the support head 13, providing continuous power to the device.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second control circuit board 242 integrates a second charging interface 263, which is embedded in the bottom of the grip 11. The second charging interface 263 is suitable for charging the rechargeable battery 21, and it is also suitable for directly powering the camera device through the first charging cable 22. This design allows the user to continuously power the camera device through an external power bank or other power source, achieving "never-ending power supply".

[0041] In this embodiment, to guide the direction of the first charging cable 22 and reduce friction, a fixed pulley 25 is provided inside the grip 11, between the cable outlet 233 of the cable retraction housing 231 and the entrance of the telescopic rod 12. After the first charging cable 22 passes around this fixed pulley 25, its retraction direction is adjusted to be consistent with the extension direction of the telescopic rod 12 before entering the internal cavity of the telescopic rod 12 and finally extending to the support head 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first charging interface 131 is provided on the support head 13, and the other end of the first charging cable 22 is internally electrically connected to the first charging interface 131. The camera device is charged by connecting to the first charging interface 131 through a separate second charging cable 31.

[0043] In some other embodiments, the other end of the first charging cable 22 extends directly into a support head 13 and is fixed into one or more standard charging connectors that can be directly inserted into a camera device.

[0044] In this embodiment, the selfie stick with charging function also includes a lanyard device 3. The lanyard device 3 includes a lanyard loop 32 and a connector 33. The lanyard loop 32 is connected to the lanyard seat 116 of the grip 11. The second charging cable 31 has a cable 311 and connectors 312 at both ends of the cable. The connector 33 is preferably made of a flexible plastic material (such as TPU or silicone), and the lanyard loop 32 is provided on it. The core function of the connector 33 is to detachably connect the two connectors 312 of the second charging cable 31, so that the cable portion forms a loop structure for use as a lanyard. When charging is not required, the second charging cable 31 can be converted into a lanyard through the connector 33 for easy carrying.

[0045] In this embodiment, a rectangular fixing groove 331 is formed on the connector 33. The connector 312 of the second charging cable 31 is a flat end that is adapted to the rectangular groove. On the two opposite edges 332 of the fixing groove 331, locking bodies 333 extending toward the center of the groove are integrally formed. Each locking body 333 includes an extension portion 3331 extending horizontally outward along the edge 332, and a bent portion 3332 bending vertically from the end of the extension portion 3331 toward the inside of the groove.

[0046] When disassembly is required, the user simply uses their fingers to tilt either connector 312 towards one of the openings 334, causing the part of its upper surface that is held in place by the bend 3332 to shift to one side, thus allowing it to slide out from under the bend 3332 and be easily pulled out from that side. The flexible material of the connector 33 provides the necessary deformation space for this tilting and pulling action, making the operation effortless and without damaging the parts. During assembly, the user inserts the two flat connectors 312 downwards into the rectangular fixing groove 331 through the space above the openings 334 on the other two sides where the locking body 333 is not located. After insertion, the two connectors 312 are arranged side by side in the groove. At this time, the bend 3332 of the locking body 333 is exactly above the connector 312, forming a lock in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the connector 312 from detaching upwards from the fixing groove 331.

[0047] In this embodiment, the selfie stick with charging function also includes a remote control 4. Furthermore, a remote control slot 114 is formed on the grip housing, and a magnetic piece 115 is provided at the bottom of the slot. A magnet is correspondingly provided inside the remote control 4, which is securely housed in the remote control slot 114 by magnetic attraction, facilitating easy access and storage. The remote control 4 is used for wirelessly controlling the camera device's functions such as taking photos, recording videos, and switching camera lenses.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
