When the electronic device 1 needs to be charged, the operation button 1411 is slid along the direction indicated by the arrow F1 in fig. 10, the operation element 140 drives the bases 121 of the two concealable charging connectors 100 to slide along the through hole 310, when the two bases 121 slide to the other end of the through hole 310, as shown in fig. 12, the pin shaft 122 of each concealable charging connector 100 is pushed by the driving surface 113 of the mounting seat 110 to protrude out of the base 121, and the flexible circuit board 132 on the second supporting surface 112 abuts against the first end 1221 of the pin shaft 122 to keep the second end 1222 thereof protruding out of the base 121 all the time, as shown in fig. 3-4, the pin shaft 122 is in contact conduction with the copper exposed area of the flexible circuit board 132, and the second end 1222 of the pin shaft 122 contacts with the positive and negative electrodes on the charging desk, so as to charge the electronic device 1.
After the charging is completed, the operating button 1411 is forced to slide along the direction indicated by the arrow F1 in fig. 10 again, so that the bases 121 of the two concealable charging connectors 100 are driven to slide along the through hole 310 by the operating element 140, when the bases 121 slide to the state shown in fig. 10, the pin shaft 122 of each concealable charging connector 100 is separated from the flexible circuit board 132 and slides to the upper side of the first supporting surface 111, at this time, the elastic element 124 is deformed again to drive the pin shaft 122 to reset, that is, the first end 1221 of the pin shaft 122 protrudes out of the base 121 again, and the second end 1222 is retracted into the base 121 again, that is, the pin shaft 122 is retracted into the foot pad 300 again, as shown in fig. 10.
In summary, since the concealable charging connector 100 of the present invention includes the mounting base 110 and the pin shaft assembly 120 slidably connected to the mounting base 110, wherein the mounting base 110 has the first supporting surface 111 and the second supporting surface 112 which are step-shaped and parallel, the pin shaft assembly 120 includes the base 121 slidably connected to the mounting base 110 and the pin shaft 122 telescopically mounted on the base 121, when the base 121 slides along the mounting base 110, one end of the pin shaft 122 is detachably abutted to the first supporting surface 111 or the electrical connection assembly 130 disposed on the second supporting surface 112, so that the other end of the pin shaft 122 telescopically protrudes out of the base 121 for electrical connection with the charging end. When the concealable charging connector 100 is applied to the electronic device 1, it is installed in the foot pad 300 of the electronic device 1, and when charging is required, the sliding base 121 makes the pin shaft 122 protrude out of the base 121 and the foot pad 300, and when not required, the sliding base 121 makes the needle shaft 122 shrink in the base 121 and the foot pad 300, firstly, when not in use, the needle shaft 122 is put in the foot pad 300, on one hand, abrasion or scratch of the needle shaft 122 can be reduced, on the other hand, the electronic device 1 is supported by the foot pad 300, the weight of the electronic device 1 is prevented from falling on the needle shaft 122, thereby reducing the chance of damage to the pin shaft 122, increasing the useful life of the concealable charging connector 100, secondly, the probability of scratching a desktop, other contact surfaces or other supports by the pin shaft 122 can be reduced, and other damages or inconveniences caused by the concealable charging connector 100 in the using process can be avoided.
Correspondingly, the electronic device 1 having the concealable charging connector 100 also has the same technical effect.
Other parts of the structure of the electronic device 1 according to the present invention are conventional structures of the electronic device 1, which are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail herein.
The above disclosure is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, therefore, the present invention is not limited by the appended claims.
