Abstract

A mobile power source includes a housing, a connecting plate, a battery assembly, and a circuit board. The housing includes a hollow middle housing having openings at an upper end and a lower end thereof, and an upper cover and a lower cover latched to the openings at the upper end and the lower end, respectively. The middle housing is provided with a plurality of pillars spaced along a vertical direction at an inner side wall thereof. The connecting plate abuts against the support surface and is fixed to the plurality of pillars. The battery assembly is disposed in the housing, which includes a battery pack, and an upper support member and a lower support member disposed at an upper end and a lower end of the battery pack, respectively. The circuit board is disposed on the upper support member.

Claims (14)

1. A mobile power source, comprising:

a housing, the housing comprising a hollow middle housing having openings at an upper end and a lower end thereof, and an upper cover and a lower cover latched to the openings at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, wherein the middle housing is provided with an input interface and a plurality of output interfaces, the middle housing is provided with a plurality of pillars spaced along a vertical direction at an inner side wall thereof, upper ends of the plurality of pillars are spaced from the upper end of the middle housing, lower ends of the plurality of pillars are spaced from the lower end of the middle housing, the upper ends of the plurality of pillars cooperatively form a support surface, the lower ends of the plurality of pillars cooperatively form a limiting surface;

a connecting plate abutting against the support surface and fixed to the plurality of pillars, the upper cover being detachably connected to the connecting plate;

a battery assembly disposed in the housing, the battery assembly comprising a battery pack, and an upper support member and a lower support member disposed at an upper end and a lower end of the battery pack, respectively, wherein the upper support member is fixed to the connecting plate via a first connecting member, the lower support member extends along a horizontal direction to form a mounting edge having a size profile adapted to the middle housing, the mounting edge abuts against the limiting surface and is fixed to the pillar via a second connecting member, the lower cover is connected to the lower support member; and

a circuit board disposed on the upper support member, the battery pack, the input interface, and the output interface are electrically coupled to the circuit board, respectively.

2. The mobile power source according to claim 1 , wherein the lower support member defines an accommodating cavity, one portion of the battery pack is located in the accommodating cavity, and the other portion of the battery pack protrudes from the accommodating cavity.

3. The mobile power source according to claim 2 , wherein the lower cover defines an accommodating groove, the lower cover is provided with a plurality of staggered reinforcing ribs protruding from a bottom surface of the accommodating groove, a bottom wall of the accommodating cavity extends into the accommodating groove and abuts against a portion of the plurality of reinforcing ribs.

4. The mobile power source according to claim 3 , wherein the mounting edge is provided with four connecting posts at a bottom surface thereof, which are adjacent to four corners, respectively, the connecting post has an internal thread, the lower cover defines a through hole at a corresponding position, the second connecting member is an endedscrew extending through the through hole and engaged with the connecting post.

5. The mobile power source according to claim 4 , wherein cylindrical adjustable feet are embedded in each of the through holes of the lower cover, respectively, a portion of the adjustable feet protrudes to a bottom surface of the lower cover.

6. The mobile power source according to claim 3 , wherein a latching structure is provided between the lower cover and the lower support member.

7. The mobile power source according to claim 6 , wherein the bottom surface of the accommodating groove is provided with a plurality of elastic buckles, an outer side wall of the accommodating cavity defines a plurality of latching grooves, the plurality of elastic buckles are latched in the plurality of latching grooves.

8. The mobile power source according to claim 1 , wherein the pillar has an arc surface facing an inner side of the middle housing.

9. The mobile power source according to claim 1 , wherein a side wall of the middle housing provided with the plurality of output interfaces is provided with a display screen, the display screen is electrically coupled to the circuit board to display a current status of use of the mobile power source.

10. The mobile power source according to claim 1 , wherein the middle housing is an aluminum housing, the upper cover and the lower cover are plastic covers.
