Deployable hybrid solar power charger
View Patent ↗Various embodiments for a deployable hybrid solar power charger are described. A deployable hybrid solar power charger may include a charging base comprising a first rechargeable power supply and at least one solar panel for recharging the first rechargeable power supply. The deployable hybrid solar power charger may further include a charging device detachably attached to the charging base. The charging device comprises a second rechargeable power supply and at least one connector for charging an electronic device, such as a mobile electronic device.
1. A system, comprising:
a charging base, comprising:
a triangular-shaped body with two congruous sides coupled together at a top of the charging base and affixed to a base side at a bottom of the charging base;
a first rechargeable power supply;
a first solar panel pivotably coupled to a first side of the charging base for recharging the first rechargeable power supply;
a second solar panel pivotably coupled to a second side of the charging base for recharging the first rechargeable power supply;
a first telescoping arm for adjusting an angle of the first solar panel relative to the charging base;
a second telescoping arm for adjusting an angle of the second solar panel relative to the charging base;
a retractable cord for charging the first rechargeable power supply and powering the charging base;
a bay configured to receive a removable charging device such that at least a portion of the removable charging device is nested in the bay, wherein the bay is sized and positioned to receive the removable charging device and an electronic device while the removable charging device is coupled to a charging port of the electronic device;
a first leg extending at a first angle from a first side of a body of the charging base and a second leg extending at a second angle from a second side of the body of the charging base, the first leg and the second leg configured to retain the charging base in an upright position; and
a face comprising a plurality of outlets for recharging peripheral devices; and
the removable charging device, the removable charging device being detachably attached to the charging base and comprising a second rechargeable power supply and at least one connector for charging an electronic device, the second rechargeable power supply being different than the first rechargeable power supply.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the charging base is wider than the top of the charging base and the congruous sides of the triangular-shaped body are curved or arched.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the outlets comprise at least one of: a universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 power outlet; a USB-C power outlet; or an alternating current (AC) power outlet.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the charging base comprises a display and processing circuitry configured to provide information relating to a charging of the removable charging device on the display.
5. A system, comprising:
a charging base comprising a first rechargeable power supply, at least one solar panel for recharging the first rechargeable power supply, and a triangular-shaped body with two congruous sides coupled together at a top of the charging base and affixed to a base side at a bottom of the charging base; and
a charging device detachably attached to the charging base, the charging device comprising a second rechargeable power supply and at least one connector for charging an electronic device, the second rechargeable power supply being different than the first rechargeable power supply.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one connector for charging the electronic device is adapted to charge a mobile phone or tablet.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one solar panel is a first solar panel positioned on a first side of the charging base and a second solar panel positioned on a second side of the charging base, the second side being different than the first side.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the first solar panel is pivotably coupled to the first side of the charging base;
the second solar panel is pivotably coupled to the second side of the charging base;
the charging base further comprises a first telescoping arm for adjusting an angle of the first solar panel relative to the charging base; and
the charging base further comprises a second telescoping arm for adjusting an angle of the second solar panel relative to the charging base.
9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the charging base comprises a retractable cord for charging the first rechargeable power supply and powering the charging base.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the charging base further comprises a push button configured to extend or retract the retractable cord.
11. The system of claim 5 , wherein the charging base comprises a bay configured to receive the charging device such that at least a portion of the charging device is nested in the bay.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the bay is sized and positioned to receive the charging device and the electronic device while the charging device is coupled to a charging port of the electronic device.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the bay is sized and positioned to receive two charging devices and the electronic device while the charging device is coupled to a charging port of the electronic device.
14. The system of claim 5 , wherein the bottom of the charging base is wider than the top of the charging base and the congruous sides of the triangular-shaped body are curved or arched.
15. The system of claim 5 , wherein the charging base comprises a face comprising a plurality of power outlets.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the power outlets comprise at least one of: a universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 power outlet; a USB-C power outlet; or an alternating current (AC) power outlet.
17. The system of claim 5 , wherein the charging base comprises a display and processing circuitry configured to provide information relating to a charging of the charging device on the display.
