Therefore, how to achieve the connection between electronic devices and sockets is an important research point.

[0004] However, the number or type of chargers plugged into the socket varies in different application scenarios. Therefore, chargers that can only be plugged into the socket from one direction have the disadvantages of being difficult to use and having limited applications. Summary of the Invention

It is understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0039] As a crucial connector for electrical connection between electronic devices and sockets, chargers need to be adaptable to various scenarios and different types of sockets. However, most existing chargers only support unidirectional insertion and removal, failing to accommodate other directions. This leads to difficulties in use or inability to plug into sockets where other chargers or cables are already connected. To address these issues, the charger of this application utilizes a combination of a first contact charging structure and a second contact charging structure to achieve detachable assembly of the main body and the plug module. Furthermore, it allows for adjustment of the assembly shape of the plug module and the main body, enabling the plug module to achieve at least a 90-degree directional change, thereby adapting to sockets in different application scenarios.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the charger of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the charger 1 of this embodiment includes a main body 10 and a plug module 20, wherein the main body 10 and the plug module 20 are detachable assembly structures.

[0041] Specifically, the pin module 20 includes an assembly 21 and pins 22, with the pins 22 passing through the assembly 21 to form a complete pin module 20. The main body 10 has an assembly area (not shown), and the pin module 20 is disposed in the assembly area for detachable assembly with the main body 10. When the pin module 20 and the main body 10 are in a first assembly configuration, the pins 22 are arranged parallel to a first direction. Optionally, the first direction includes the length direction, width direction, or height direction of the main body 10. In this embodiment, the first direction specifically refers to the length direction of the main body 10.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 and further to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of one embodiment of the main body in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the main body 10 of this embodiment is provided with a first contact charging structure 13.

[0043] Specifically, the main body 10 includes a panel 11 and a housing 12, with an accommodating space (not shown) formed between the panel 11 and the housing 12. In this embodiment, the panel 11 includes a first sidewall 101, a second sidewall 102, and a third sidewall 103, wherein the first sidewall 101 and the second sidewall 102 are adjacent to each other and perpendicular to each other, and the third sidewall 103 and the second sidewall 102 are adjacent to each other and perpendicular to each other, and the first sidewall 101 and the third sidewall 103 are parallel to each other.

[0044] The first contact charging structure 13 is disposed on the first sidewall 101, with one end of the first contact charging structure 13 exposed outside the first sidewall 101, and is disposed within the accommodating space. In this embodiment, the first contact charging structure 13 includes a contact pin. Further, the main body 10 of this embodiment also includes a ring magnet 14, which surrounds the contact pin, that is, the ring magnet 14 surrounds the first contact charging structure 13.

[0045] Optionally, in one embodiment, there are two styluses, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the first sidewall 101. The annular magnet 14 may include a first annular magnet 141 and a second annular magnet 142. One of the first annular magnet 141 and the second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the first sidewall 101 and surrounds the styluse, while the other of the first annular magnet 141 and the second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the second sidewall 102. As shown in FIG2, the first annular magnet 141 is disposed on the first sidewall 101 and surrounds the styluse, and the second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the second sidewall 102.

[0046] Optionally, in another embodiment, the number of contact pins can be four, arranged in two groups. One group of contact pins is spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the first sidewall 101, and the other group of contact pins is spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the second sidewall 102. The number of annular magnets 14 can be the same as the number of contact pins, with one annular magnet 14 surrounding each contact pin. This embodiment, by setting two groups of contact pins, can enhance the electrical connection between the pin module 20 and the main body 10.

[0047] Furthermore, the main body 10 of this embodiment also includes a limiting structure 15, on which a hole 151 is provided. In this embodiment, the limiting structure 15 includes a limiting plate, one end of which is fixedly disposed on the second sidewall 102, and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the second sidewall 102. The hole 151 is located at the center of the limiting plate. Alternatively, one end of the limiting plate is fixedly disposed on the first sidewall 101, and the other end of which extends in a direction away from the first sidewall 101. The hole 151 is located at the center of the limiting plate.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, and further to Figure 3, Figure 3 is a first structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the pin module in Figure 1, and Figure 4 is a second structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the pin module in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the assembly 21 of the pin module 20 is provided with a second contact charging structure 23. The second contact charging structure 23 is used to cooperate with the first contact charging structure 13 in different directions to adjust the assembly form of the pin module 20 and the main body 10.

[0049] The assembly 21 includes a first side 201, a second side 202, a third side 203, and a fourth side 204. The second side 202 is arranged adjacent to the first side 201 and the third side 203. The first side 201 is arranged opposite to the third side 203. The second side 202 is arranged opposite to the fourth side 204.

[0050] The second contact charging structure 23 includes a first conductive structure 231 and a second conductive structure 232. The first conductive structure 231 is disposed on the first side 201, and the second conductive structure 232 is disposed on the second side 202. Optionally, either the first conductive structure 231 or the second conductive structure 232 in this embodiment is electrically connected to the first contact charging structure 13 to realize the electrical connection between the plug module 20 and the main body 10.

[0051] Specifically, the ring magnet 14 is used to attract and fix the first conductive structure 231 or the second conductive structure 232 so that the first conductive structure 231 or the second conductive structure 232 abuts against the first contact charging structure 13, thereby realizing the electrical connection of the first conductive structure 231 or the second conductive structure 232 to the first contact charging structure 13.

[0052] Optionally, the first conductive structure 231 includes a conductive pin, and the second conductive structure 232 includes a conductive pin. The conductive pin can achieve an electrical connection with the contact pin to achieve an electrical connection between the pin module 20 and the main body 10.

[0053] Specifically, when the pin module 20 is assembled with the main body 10, the first side wall 101 abuts against the first side 201, the second side wall 102 abuts against the second side 202, and the first conductive structure 231 is electrically connected to the first contact charging structure 13 through a contact pin. The annular magnet 14 provided on the main body 10 surrounds and attracts the first conductive structure 231 to fix it. At this time, the pin 22 is set parallel to the first direction.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment, there are two styluses, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the first sidewall 101. A first annular magnet 141 is disposed on the first sidewall 101 and surrounds the styluses, and a second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the second sidewall 102. In this case, the first annular magnet 141 attracts and fixes the first conductive structure 231, and the second annular magnet 142 attracts and fixes the second conductive structure 232.

[0055] Optionally, in another embodiment, the number of styluses is four, which are arranged in two groups. The first group of styluses is spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the first sidewall 101, and the second group of styluses is spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the second sidewall 102.

[0056] At this time, the first annular magnet 141 is disposed on the first side wall 101 and surrounds the first set of contact pins. At this time, the first annular magnet 141 attracts and fixes the first conductive structure 231, that is, the number of the first set of contact pins is the same as the number of the first conductive structure 231.

[0057] Meanwhile, the second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the second side wall 102 and surrounds the second set of contact pins. At this time, the second annular magnet 142 attracts and fixes the second conductive structure 232, that is, the number of the second set of contact pins is the same as the number of the second conductive structure 232.

[0058] Furthermore, the assembly 21 in this embodiment is also provided with a first groove 28, and the pin 22 is disposed in the first groove 28 so as to be exposed on the third side 203 or the fourth side 204. The first groove 28 is L-shaped and communicates with the internal space of the assembly 21. The rotation structure of the pin 22 is disposed in the internal space of the assembly 21 and is used to control the retraction or opening of the pin 22.

[0059] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, assembly 21 further includes a fifth side surface 205, a first connecting surface, a second connecting surface, a button 25, and a pin 24. The first and second connecting surfaces are both used to connect the corresponding side surfaces and are defined as connecting surfaces 263.

[0060] Specifically, a portion of the side of the first side 201 near the second side 202 extends into the assembly 21 to form a first extension surface 261, and a portion of the side of the second side 202 near the first side 201 extends into the assembly 21 to form a second extension surface 262. The first extension surface 261 connects to the second extension surface 262, and a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface are disposed opposite to each other. The first connecting surface connects the first extension surface 261 and the second extension surface 262, and the second connecting surface connects the first extension surface 261 and the second extension surface 262, respectively.

[0061] The first extending surface 261, the second extending surface 262, the first connecting surface, and the second connecting surface form the second groove 27, and the shape of the limiting plate matches the second groove 27. That is, when the pin module 20 is assembled in the assembly area, the limiting plate is exactly set in the second groove 27.

[0062] Furthermore, the fifth side 205 is arranged adjacent to the first side 201, the second side 202, the third side 203, and the fourth side 204. As shown in Figure 3, the button 25 passes through the assembly 21 and protrudes from the fifth side 205. As shown in Figure 4, the pin 24 is disposed in the internal space of the assembly 21 and partially protrudes from the second groove 27.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1-4, and further to Figures 4 and 5, Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the charger along the AA direction in Figure 1, and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the charger along the BB direction in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, a first through hole (not shown) is provided on the first connecting surface, and a second through hole (not shown) is provided on the second connecting surface. One end of the pin 24 is connected to the end of the button 25 away from the fifth side 205, and the other end of the pin 24 passes through the first through hole, hole 151, and second through hole in sequence.

[0064] Specifically, button 25 is used to move pin 24, specifically moving pin 24 along the width direction of body 10. The fifth side 205 is recessed towards the internal space of assembly 21 to form a third groove 29. Pin module 20 further includes a spring 251 disposed within the third groove 29 for elastically connecting button 25 and assembly 21.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the end of the button 25 that is away from the fifth side 205 can be hollow, and the diameter of the end of the button 25 that is away from the fifth side 205 is larger than the diameter of the end of the pin 24. When the button 25 is connected to the pin 24, the end of the button 25 that is away from the fifth side 205 is sleeved on the outside of the end of the pin 24.

[0066] Optionally, in one embodiment, if the pin module 20 is assembled with the main body 10, press the button 25. The button 25 drives the pin 24 to move along the second direction X. In this embodiment, the second direction X is parallel to the width direction of the main body 10. The other end of the pin 24 leaves the second through hole, the hole 151 and the first through hole in sequence. At this time, the pin module 20 can be disassembled from the assembly area of ​​the main body 10.

[0067] Furthermore, when the pin module 20 is removed from the assembly area of ​​the main body 10 and the button 25 is released, the spring 251 drives the button 25 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction X, and the other end of the pin 24 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence.

[0068] Optionally, in another embodiment, if the pin module 20 is not assembled with the main body 10, pressing the button 25 causes the pin 24 to move along the second direction X, so that the other end of the pin 24 leaves the second through hole and the first through hole in sequence, and the pin module 20 can be assembled into the assembly area of ​​the main body 10, thereby realizing the assembly of the pin module 20 with the main body 10.

[0069] Furthermore, when the limiting structure 15 is set in the second groove 27, the button 25 is released, and the spring 251 drives the button 25 to move in the opposite direction of the second direction X. The other end of the pin 24 passes through the first through hole, the hole 151 and the second through hole in sequence to fix the pin module 20 to the main body 10.

[0070] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the internal space of the assembly 21 in this embodiment is provided with conductive wires, which are respectively connected to the pin 22, the first conductive structure 231 and the second conductive structure 232. When any set of conductive pins is electrically connected to the contact pin, the electrical connection between the pin 22 and the contact pin can be realized.

[0071] Referring to Figures 1-6 and further to Figure 7, which is a structural schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the charger 1 of this application, as shown in Figure 7, unlike the first embodiment, the plug module 20 and the main body 10 are in a second assembly state in this embodiment. The plug 22 is arranged perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the plug module 20 is perpendicular to the length direction of the main body 10, and specifically parallel to the height direction of the main body 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the pin module 20 is assembled with the main body 10, the second side wall 102 abuts against the first side wall 201, the first side wall 101 abuts against the second side wall 202, and the second conductive structure 232 is electrically connected to the first contact charging structure 13. The annular magnet 14 provided on the main body 10 surrounds and attracts the second conductive structure 232 to fix it. At this time, the pin 22 is set perpendicular to the first direction.

[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment, the number of styluses is two, and they are spaced apart along the width direction of the main body 10 on the first sidewall 101. A first annular magnet 141 is disposed on the first sidewall 101 and surrounds the styluses, and a second annular magnet 142 is disposed on the second sidewall 102. In this case, the first annular magnet 141 attracts and fixes the second conductive structure 232, and the second annular magnet 142 attracts and fixes the first conductive structure 231.

[0074] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the extension direction of the limiting structure 15 is perpendicular to the first line connecting the two first annular magnets 141 and perpendicular to the second line connecting the two second annular magnets 142, and the first line connecting direction is perpendicular to the second line connecting direction, so that the pin module 20 can be set in the second groove 27 located at the side connection of the assembly body 21, whether it is set in the first assembly form shown in Figure 1 or the second assembly form shown in Figure 7.

[0075] Meanwhile, the limiting structure 15 is positioned between the two first annular magnets 141 on the first sidewall 101, and the limiting structure 15 is positioned between the two second annular magnets 142 on the second sidewall 102. Furthermore, as shown in FIG6, the opening of the second groove 27 on the first sidewall 201 is located between the two first conductive structures 231, and the opening of the second recess 27 on the second sidewall 202 is located between the two second conductive structures 232.

[0076] Through the above-described structural design, this application enables the limiting structure 15 to cooperate with the second groove 27 when the main body 10 and the pin module 20 are assembled in different directions, without affecting the magnetic attraction effect between the first annular magnet 141 and the first conductive structure 231, or the magnetic attraction effect between the second annular magnet 142 and the second conductive structure 232.

[0077] Furthermore, the first sidewall 101 and the second sidewall 102 intersect at the first boundary line 104. The distance between the first annular magnet 141 and the first boundary line 104 is the first distance, and the distance between the second annular magnet 142 and the first boundary line 104 is the second distance. In this embodiment, the first distance is set to be equal to the second distance.

[0078] Meanwhile, the first side 201 and the second side 202 intersect at the second boundary line 206. The distance between the first conductive structure 231 and the second boundary line 206 is the third distance, and the distance between the second conductive structure 232 and the second boundary line 206 is the fourth distance. In this embodiment, the third distance is set to be equal to the fourth distance. Furthermore, the first distance, the second distance, the third distance, and the fourth distance are all equal.

[0079] Through the above-described structural arrangement, this application enables the annular magnet 14 surrounding the first contact charging structure 13 to always abut against the first conductive structure 231 and the second conductive structure 232 when the main body 10 and the pin module 20 are assembled in different directions, thus maintaining a mutual magnetic attraction effect.

[0080] Existing chargers have the problem of being difficult to adapt to sockets in different application scenarios. Some chargers use strong replacement methods such as clips and tight fits, which have a significant impact on the user experience. Others rely on spring contacts, which require accurate insertion and removal force and the right locking point, making operation complicated. Still others require both hands to plug and unplug to trigger the corresponding trigger mechanism, making operation complicated as well.

[0081] Compared to existing chargers, the charger 1 of this application features a detachable structure for both the main body 10 and the plug module 20, enabling quick and convenient assembly or disassembly. Firstly, the charger 1 achieves a secure assembly of the plug module 20 and the main body 10 through the magnetic attraction between the annular magnet and the second contact charging structure 23, and the engagement of the pin 24 with the limiting structure 15. Simultaneously, the magnetic attraction between the annular magnet 14 and the second contact charging structure 23 allows for pre-assembly of the main body 10 and the plug module 20, and the assembly resistance of the pin 24 is lower, making it more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0082] Secondly, the charger 1 of this application features a button 25 on the plug module 20. This button 25, in conjunction with a pin 24, controls the movement of the pin 24, which, in turn, secures the plug module 20 to the main body 10 via the hole 151. Furthermore, by pressing the button 25, the user can quickly disassemble the plug module 20 and the main body 10 with one hand, making operation convenient and quick. It also allows for rapid replacement of charging plugs of different specifications.

[0083] Furthermore, the charger 1 of this application replaces the conventional spring contact by setting two sets of conductive pins with a relative position of 90 degrees. The conductive pins are electrically connected to the contact pins, which simplifies the connection structure and enables electrical connection in different directions. This allows the charger 1 to be plugged in and unplugged in different directions, adapting to more different environments.

[0084] Referring to Figures 1-6 and further to Figure 8, Figure 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the charger of this application. As shown in Figure 8, the charger of this embodiment may further include a first replaceable plug 30, which can be electrically connected to the plug 22 of the plug module 20. The specific electrical connection method can be any existing replaceable plug connection method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pins 22 of the first replaceable plug 30 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. Optionally, in another embodiment, the assembly configuration of the pin module 20 and the main body 10 can be adjusted so that the pins 22 of the first replaceable plug 30 are arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the main body 10, as shown in Figure 7.

[0086] Referring to Figures 1-6 and further to Figure 9, which is a structural schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the charger of this application, the charger of this embodiment may further include a second replaceable plug 40, which can be electrically connected to the plug 22 of the plug module 20. The specific electrical connection method can be any existing replaceable plug connection method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0087] Unlike the third embodiment, the second replaceable plug 40 and the first replaceable plug 30 in this embodiment meet the socket standards of different countries or regions.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pins 22 of the second replaceable plug 40 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the main body 10. Optionally, in another embodiment, the assembly configuration of the pin module 20 and the main body 10 can be adjusted so that the pins 22 of the second replaceable plug 40 are arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the main body 10, as shown in Figure 7.

[0089] The charger 1 of this application can be adapted to plugs of different specifications, including but not limited to plugs that meet European regulations, US regulations, UK regulations and Chinese regulations. Any replaceable plug can be switched 90 degrees by adjusting the assembly form of the plug module 20 and the main body 10, thereby meeting the needs of different application scenarios.

[0090] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
