Abstract

A charging device comprises a housing having an accommodating cavity, and a retractable charging cable at least partially located within the accommodating cavity. The charging device comprises a second charging cable having a first end extending into the accommodating cavity and a second end located outside the accommodating cavity. The charging device also comprises a connector electrically connected to the second end of the second charging cable; and a fixing portion disposed on the second charging cable. The connector is configured to pass through the fixing portion. The second charging cable, the connector, and the fixing portion together form a closed loop.

Claims (70)

1 . A charging device comprising:

a housing having an accommodating cavity;

a retractable charging cable at least partially located within the accommodating cavity;

a second charging cable having a first end extending into the accommodating cavity and a second end located outside the accommodating cavity;

a connector electrically connected to the second end of the second charging cable; and

a fixing portion disposed on the second charging cable, wherein the connector is configured to be retained in the fixing portion, and wherein the second charging cable, the connector, and the fixing portion together form a closed loop.

2 . The charging device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a conductive track disposed within the accommodating cavity;

a cable reel disposed within the accommodating cavity; and

a conductive member disposed on the cable reel and in electrical contact with the conductive track.

3 . The charging device of claim 2 , wherein:

the conductive track is circular,

the conductive member comprises a plurality of conductive elastic sheets arranged at intervals around an axis of the cable reel, and

the plurality of conductive elastic sheets is in electrical contact with the conductive track.

4 . The charging device of claim 2 , wherein the retractable charging cable is electrically connected to the conductive member and wound around a circumference of the cable reel, and the conductive member is in electrical contact with the conductive track during rotation of the cable reel and the conductive member.

5 . The charging device of claim 1 , wherein:

the retractable charging cable is configured to extend from the accommodating cavity, and

the connector is detachably coupled to the fixing portion.

6 . The charging device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing portion comprises a through groove having a first opening and a second opening on opposite ends of the through groove, and

the through groove comprises a step structure configured to secure the connector.

7 . The charging device of claim 6 , wherein the through groove comprises a third opening between the first opening and the second opening, wherein a width of the third opening is smaller than a width of the connector.

8 . A charging device comprising:

a housing having an accommodating cavity;

a retractable charging cable at least partially located within the accommodating cavity;

a second charging cable having a first end extending into the accommodating cavity and a second end located outside the accommodating cavity;

a connector electrically connected to the second end of the second charging cable; and

a fixing portion disposed on the second charging cable, wherein:

the fixing portion comprises a through groove having a first opening and a second opening on opposite ends of the through groove, and

the through groove comprises a step structure configured to secure the connector.

9 . The charging device of claim 1 , wherein the connector is configured to pass through the fixing portion, the second charging cable, the connector, and the fixing portion together forming a closed loop.

10 . The charging device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a battery cell disposed within the accommodating cavity;

a first circuit board disposed within the accommodating cavity; and

a second circuit board disposed within the accommodating cavity, the second circuit board being oriented substantially perpendicular to the first circuit board and facing the battery cell.

11 . The charging device of claim 10 , wherein:
