Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a DC-AC converter, including: a converter housing; an electrical connector, arranged on the converter housing and configured to be electrically connected with the battery module; a DC-AC conversion module arranged in the converter housing and configured to convert a direct current output from the battery module to an alternating current; and a detachable connection structure arranged on the converter housing and configured to detachably connect the DC-AC converter to the battery module. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an AC output device, in which the DC-AC converter is detachably connected to the battery module. The DC-AC converter can be detached from the AC output device when the user does not need the current conversion function.

Claims (36)

a converter housing;

an electrical connector, arranged on the converter housing and configured to be connected with the battery module;

a DC-AC conversion module, arranged in the converter housing and configured to convert a direct current output from the battery module to an alternating current; and

a detachable connection structure, arranged on the converter housing and configured to be detachably connected with the battery module.

2 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 1 , comprising at least two detachable connection structures arranged on the converter housing, wherein the at least two detachable connection structures are spaced from each other; and

at least two first through-holes are defined on the converter housing, wherein the at least two detachable connection structures and the at least two first through-holes are in one-to-one correspondence, and a respective detachable connection structure passes through a corresponding first through-hole.

3 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 2 , wherein each of the at least two detachable connection structures comprises a clasp member configured to fasten with a groove defined on the battery module.

4 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 3 , wherein the clasp member comprises a resilient part having two ends opposite to each other, a hook, and a controlling button, wherein one end of the resilient part is fixed to an inner wall of the converter housing, the other end of the resilient part is connected to the hook, and the hook passes through a corresponding first through-hole to extend from inside to outside of the converter housing;

a second through-hole is defined on the converter housing, wherein the controlling button is inserted in the second through-hole and connected with the hook, the at least two first through-holes are defined on a first face of the converter housing, and the second through-hole is defined on a second face of the converter housing different from the first face.

5 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 2 , wherein a third through-hole is defined on the converter housing, the electrical connector passes through the third through-hole to extend to outside of the converter housing, and the third through-hole and the at least two first through-holes are defined on a same face of the converter housing.

6 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 1 , further comprising a front panel and an output socket, wherein the front panel is fixed to the converter housing and forms a receiving space with the converter housing, and the DC-AC conversion module is received in the receiving space; and

wherein a fourth through-hole is defined on the front panel, and the output socket passes through the fourth through-hole to extend from the receiving space to outside of the converter housing.

7 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 6 , further comprising a fan and a circuit board, wherein the fan is received in the receiving space and fixed to the front panel, and the circuit board is received in the receiving space and electrically connected to the fan; and

a heat emission hole is defined on a side wall of the converter housing adjacent to a side wall of the converter housing at which the electrical connector is arranged.

8 . The DC-AC converter according to claim 7 , further comprising a fan bracket received in the receiving space and fixed to the front panel, wherein the fan is fixed on the fan bracket.

9 . An alternating current (AC) output device, comprising:

a battery module; and

a direct current to alternating current (DC-AC) converter, comprising:

a converter housing;

an electrical connector, arranged on the converter housing and configured to be connected with the battery module;

a DC-AC conversion module, arranged in the converter housing and configured to convert a direct current output from the battery module to an alternating current; and

a detachable connection structure, arranged on the converter housing and configured to be detachably connected with the battery module;

wherein the battery module is detachably connected to the DC-AC converter, and the battery module is electrically connected to the DC-AC conversion module.

10 . The AC output device according to claim 9 , wherein a groove is defined on the battery module, and the groove is detachably connected with the detachable connection structure of the DC-AC converter.

11 . The AC output device according to claim 9 , comprising at least two detachable connection structures arranged on the converter housing, wherein the at least two detachable connection structures are spaced from each other; and

at least two first through-holes are defined on the converter housing, wherein the at least two detachable connection structures and the at least two first through-holes are in one-to-one correspondence, and a respective detachable connection structure passes through a corresponding first through-hole.

12 . The AC output device according to claim 11 , wherein each of the at least two detachable connection structures comprises a clasp member configured to fasten with a groove defined on the battery module.

13 . The AC output device according to claim 12 , wherein the clasp member comprises a resilient part having two ends opposite to each other, a hook, and a controlling button, wherein one end of the resilient part is fixed to an inner wall of the converter housing, the other end of the resilient part is connected to the hook, and the hook passes through a corresponding first through-hole to extend from inside to outside of the converter housing;

a second through-hole is defined on the converter housing, wherein the controlling button is inserted in the second through-hole and connected with the hook, the at least two first through-holes are defined on a first face of the converter housing, and the second through-hole is defined on a second face of the converter housing different from the first face.

14 . The AC output device according to claim 11 , wherein a third through-hole is defined on the converter housing, the electrical connector passes through the third through-hole to extend to outside of the converter housing, and the third through-hole and the at least two first through-holes are defined on a same face of the converter housing.

15 . The AC output device according to claim 9 , further comprising a front panel and an output socket, wherein the front panel is fixed to the converter housing and forms a receiving space with the converter housing, and the DC-AC conversion module is received in the receiving space; and
