Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a DC-DC converter, and a DC output device. The DC-DC converter includes: a housing; a detachable connection structure arranged on the housing and configured to detachably connect with a battery module; a DC-DC conversion module received in the housing and configured to convert a direct current input from the battery module to a direct current at a preset voltage; and one or more current output ports arranged on the housing, the one or more current output ports are electrically connected with the DC-DC conversion module and are configured to output the direct current at the preset voltage obtained from the DC-DC conversion module.

Claims (30)

1 . A direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter, comprising:

a housing;

a detachable connection structure arranged on the housing and configured to detachably connect with a battery module;

a DC-DC conversion module received in the housing and configured to convert a direct current input from the battery module to a direct current at a preset voltage; and

one or more current output ports arranged on the housing, wherein the one or more current output ports are electrically connected with the DC-DC conversion module and are configured to output the direct current at the preset voltage.

2 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , wherein the detachable connection structure comprises a clasp member configured to form a lock with a groove defined on the battery module by fastening with the groove.

3 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 2 , wherein the clasp member comprises a limiting block fixed on an inner wall of the housing, a resilient part fixed on the limiting block, and a hook connected to a free end of the resilient part and configured to be stuck in the groove of the battery module by pressing or stretching the resilient part.

4 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 3 , wherein the clasp member further comprises a button connected with the hook, and the DC-DC converter further comprises a through groove passing through the housing, wherein the button is exposed on an outer surface of the housing via the through groove.

5 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , wherein the detachable connection structure comprises a groove configured to form a lock with a clasp member arranged on the battery module.

6 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , wherein an annular flange is arranged on an edge of the housing, and the annular flange is configured to fasten with an inner wall of a connection slot arranged on the battery module, to form a physical connection between the DC-DC converter and the battery module; or

the edge of the housing extends outward to form a connection slot, wherein the connection slot is configured to fasten with a periphery of an annular flange arranged on the battery module, to form the physical connection between the DC-DC converter and the battery module.

7 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , comprising at least two current output ports, at least one of which is a charging and discharging port that has both discharge function and charge function.

8 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , further comprising a front panel arranged on the housing, wherein the one or more current output ports are arranged on the front panel, and a bump for mistake proofing is arranged at an edge of the front panel.

9 . The DC-DC converter according to claim 1 , wherein the DC-DC conversion module comprises a first circuit board and a second circuit board connected to each other via an electric wire harness.

10 . A direct current (DC) output device, comprising a battery module and a direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter;

wherein a connector of the DC-DC converter is electrically connected with a plug of the battery module;

wherein the DC-DC converter comprise:

a housing;

a detachable connection structure arranged on the housing and configured to detachably connect with a battery module;

a DC-DC conversion module received in the housing and configured to convert a direct current input from the battery module to a direct current at a preset voltage; and

one or more current output ports arranged on the housing, wherein the one or more current output ports are electrically connected with the DC-DC conversion module and are configured to output the direct current at the preset voltage.

11 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein the detachable connection structure comprises a clasp member configured to form a lock with a groove defined on the battery module by fastening with the groove.

12 . The DC output device according to claim 11 , wherein the clasp member comprises a limiting block fixed on an inner wall of the housing, a resilient part fixed on the limiting block, and a hook connected to a free end of the resilient part and configured to be stuck in the groove of the battery module by pressing or stretching the resilient part.

13 . The DC output device according to claim 12 , wherein the clasp member further comprises a button connected with the hook, and the DC-DC converter further comprises a through groove passing through the housing, wherein the button is exposed on an outer surface of the housing via the through groove.

14 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein the detachable connection structure comprises a groove configured to form a lock with a clasp member arranged on the battery module.

15 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein an annular flange is arranged on an edge of the housing, and the annular flange is configured to fasten with an inner wall of a connection slot arranged on the battery module, to form a physical connection between the DC-DC converter and the battery module; or

the edge of the housing extends outward to form a connection slot, wherein the connection slot is configured to fasten with a periphery of an annular flange arranged on the battery module, to form the physical connection between the DC-DC converter and the battery module.

16 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein the DC-DC converter comprises at least two current output ports, at least one of which is a charging and discharging port that has both discharge function and charge function.

17 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein the DC-DC converter further comprises a front panel arranged on the housing, wherein the one or more current output ports are arranged on the front panel, and a bump for mistake proofing is arranged at an edge of the front panel.

18 . The DC output device according to claim 10 , wherein the DC-DC conversion module comprises a first circuit board and a second circuit board connected to each other via an electric wire harness.
