Abstract

A connector capable of converting a marine navigation light to charging equipment contains: a convertor and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) fixer. The convertor includes multiple conducting portions, a respective one conducting portion is configured to contact with the respective one coupling portion so as to guide a power of the power supply equipment. The respective one convertor also includes at least one electric wire, an end of a respective one electric wire is electrically connected with the respective one conducting portion, and the other end of the respective one electric wire is coupled with the USB fixer. The USB fixer includes a body in which a transformation unit is accommodated, the respective one electric wire is connected on the transformation unit to adjust a voltage, and the transformation unit has multiple power ports configured to supply the power after adjusting the voltage of the power.

Claims (19)

1 . A connector capable of converting a marine navigation light to charging equipment being connected in a stern socket which is configured to provide an electrical connection of the marine navigation light, and the stern socket being electrically connected to a power supply equipment of a boat, the stern socket including a metal holder connected on a stern of the boat, the holder including a receiving element fixed on a center of the holder, the receiving element having multiple coupling portions accommodated in the receiving element, and the receiving element having multiple conductive cables fixed on an outer wall of the receiving element, a first end of a respective one conductive cable being connected with a respective one coupling portion, and a second end of the respective one conductive cable being coupled with the power supply equipment, and the receiving element being connected with the connector, wherein the connector comprise: a convertor and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) fixer;

wherein the convertor is formed in a rod shape and includes multiple conducting portions mounted on a bottom of the convertor, wherein a respective one conducting portion is configured to contact with the respective one coupling portion so as to guide a power of the power supply equipment, the respective one convertor also includes at least one electric wire fixed therein, wherein an end of a respective one electric wire is electrically connected with the respective one conducting portion, and the other end of the respective one electric wire is coupled with the USB fixer; and

wherein the USB fixer includes a body in which a transformation unit is accommodated, the respective one electric wire is connected on the transformation unit to adjust a voltage, and the transformation unit has multiple power ports defined thereon and configured to supply the power after adjusting the voltage of the power;

wherein the respective one convertor has a fastening element fitted thereon, and the fastening element of the respective one convertor has a conical portion configured to connect with the receiving element so that a contact area of the conical portion and the receiving element is increased to fix the respective one convertor and the receiving element securely.

2 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stern socket includes a waterproof cap.

3 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the convertor is one-piece formed with the USB fixer.

4 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the convertor is removably connected with the USB fixer by using the at least one electric wire.

5 . The connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the USB fixer further includes a wireless charging disc.

6 . The connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the wireless charging disc is connected with the USB fixer by using a USB cable.

7 . The connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the wireless charging disc is connected with the USB fixer by using a conductive wire.

8 . A connector capable of converting a marine navigation light to charging equipment being connected in a stern socket which is configured to provide an electrical connection of the marine navigation light, and the stern socket being electrically connected to a power supply equipment of a boat, the stern socket including a metal holder connected on a stern of the boat, the holder including a receiving element fixed on a center of the holder, the receiving element having multiple coupling portions accommodated in the receiving element, and the receiving element having multiple conductive cables fixed on an outer wall of the receiving element, a first end of a respective one conductive cable being connected with a respective one coupling portion, and a second end of the respective one conductive cable being coupled with the power supply equipment, and the receiving element being connected with the connector, wherein the connector comprise: a convertor and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) fixer;

wherein the convertor is formed in a rod shape and includes multiple conducting portions mounted on a bottom of the convertor, wherein a respective one conducting portion is configured to contact with the respective one coupling portion so as to guide a power of the power supply equipment, the respective one convertor also includes at least one electric wire fixed therein, wherein an end of a respective one electric wire is electrically connected with the respective one conducting portion, and the other end of the respective one electric wire is coupled with the USB fixer; and

wherein the USB fixer includes a body in which a transformation unit is accommodated, the respective one electric wire is connected on the transformation unit to adjust a voltage, and the transformation unit has multiple power ports defined thereon and configured to supply the power after adjusting the voltage of the power;

wherein the convertor is removably connected with the USB fixer by using the at least one electric wire.

9 . The connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the stern socket includes a waterproof cap.

10 . The connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the convertor is one-piece formed with the USB fixer.

11 . The connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the USB fixer further includes a wireless charging disc.

12 . The connector as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the wireless charging disc is connected with the USB fixer by using a USB cable.

13 . The connector as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the wireless charging disc is connected with the USB fixer by using a conductive wire.
