[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-11As shown, a power bank with a port protection structure according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a power bank body 10, an input connection component, an output connection component, and a port protection structure. One end of the power bank body 10 is provided with at least one set of output ports 50 (such as USB-C output) and at least one set of input ports 60 (such as Micro-USB input).
[0024] The input connection component consists of an input male connector 30, a first charging cable 31, and an input female connector 32. The input male connector 30 is inserted into the input port 60, and one end of the first charging cable 31 is connected to the input male connector 30, while the other end is connected to the input female connector 32 (such as a standard USB-A female connector).
[0025] The output connection assembly consists of an output male connector 40, a second charging cable 41, and an output female connector 42. The output male connector 40 is inserted into the output port 50, and one end of the second charging cable 41 is connected to the output male connector 40, while the other end is connected to the output female connector 42 (such as a Lightning connector).
[0026] The connector protection structure is located at the interface end, which simultaneously provides physical protection for the output port 50 and the input port 60 from impact; and mechanically fixes the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40 to prevent them from loosening.
[0027] The first charging cable 31 extends from the side of the input male connector 30 (not the rear end), and the second charging cable 41 similarly extends from the side of the output male connector 40 (not the rear end). This is to secure the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40 from the rear end, preventing the cable connection point from being bent or damaged due to clamping force.
[0028] Example 1 like Figures 1-5 As shown, the connector protection structure includes a pair of extended end plates 11, which are plate-like structures vertically disposed at the interface end of the power bank body 10. The cover 20 is rotatably connected to the extended end plates 11 via a pivot or hinge, and when closed, it forms a sealed compartment with the extended end plates 11, completely enclosing the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40, thus providing protection for them.
[0029] In addition, the first storage slot 12 is located on the side wall of the power bank body 10, and its shape is adapted to the output female connector 42, which can realize the fixed storage of the output female connector 42. The first cable channel 13 connects the compartment and the first storage slot 12, allowing the second charging cable 41 to pass through.
[0030] The second storage slot 14 is located on the other side wall and is shaped to fit the input female connector 32, enabling the input female connector 32 to be fixedly stored. The second cable tray 15 connects the compartment and the second storage slot 14, and guides the first charging cable 31 in conjunction with the cable port 22 on the cover 20.
[0031] To accommodate charging cable plugs of different heights, the inner wall of the cover 20 is lined with adhesive pads 21. These pads 21 press firmly against the rear ends of the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40 when the cover 20 is closed, providing double protection. Furthermore, the number of pads can be adjusted to accommodate charging cable plugs of different heights, resulting in more reliable protection.
[0032] Specifically, during use, insert the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40 into the input port 60 and output port 50 respectively. Close the cover 20, pressing the adhesive pad 21 against the rear end of the male connector, and lead the cable out through the corresponding cable tray. Take out the output female connector 42 from the first storage slot 12 to connect to the mobile phone; take out the input female connector 32 from the second storage slot 14 to connect to the charger.
[0033] By adding a protective compartment design to the charging port, the charging cable connector can be secured, and excess cable can be neatly stored.
[0034] Example 2 like Figures 6-11 As shown, the connector protection structure includes a protective sleeve 70, which is fixed to the interface end of the power bank body 10 by a snap-fit. The fixing method of the protective sleeve 70 to the interface end of the power bank body 10 is not limited to snap-fit; it can also be fixed by bolts or by interference fit. A transverse spacer 71 is located inside the sleeve, with its front surface abutting against the outer end faces of the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40. The transverse spacer 71 can hold the charging cable plug in place to prevent loosening; it can also form a fixed-size internal space to prevent stress on the charging cable.
[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, the transverse partition 71 divides the interior of 70 into a first chamber 72 and a second chamber 73. The first chamber 72 is located outside the transverse partition 71 and forms a storage space for the remaining cables of the charging cable. It is provided with slots to fix the input female connector 32 and the output female connector 42. The second chamber 73 is located inside the transverse partition 71 and forms a limiting space surrounding the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40.
[0036] The transverse partition 71 has an opening for connecting the first chamber 72 and the second chamber 73, through which the first charging cable 31 and the second charging cable 41 pass into the first chamber 72.
[0037] To accommodate charging cable plugs of different heights, an adhesive pad 21 is attached to the inside of the transverse partition 71. The adhesive pad 21 can press firmly against the rear ends of the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40, achieving double fixation. In addition, the number of adhesive pads can be increased or decreased to accommodate charging cable plugs of different heights, forming more reliable protection.
[0038] Specifically, during use, the protective cover 70 is slid into the interface end of the power bank body 10, and the transverse partition 71 automatically presses the input male connector 30 and the output male connector 40. The cable enters the first chamber 72 through the port, and the input female connector 32 and the output female connector 42 are taken out and put in through the slot of the first chamber 72. Unused cables are stored in the chamber.
[0039] By adding a protective cover, the charging cable and socket can be protected from damage, thus extending the life of the power bank. It can also be used to store the charging cable for convenience.
[0040] This utility model achieves the following: 1. Zero plugging / unplugging interface: The male connector is permanently fixed to the power bank, fundamentally eliminating plugging / unplugging losses; 2. Impact protection: The protective structure absorbs external impact energy, preventing it from being conducted to the circuit board connectors; 3. Extended cable life: The cable tray or through-hole design eliminates bending stress, and the storage slot prevents the cable from getting tangled and worn. 4. Easy to use: The female connector is ready to use immediately, and no additional cables are required.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0042] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
