Description

Damping type foldable handle of outdoor power supply and outdoor power supply box

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of outdoor power supply, in particular to a damping type foldable handle of an outdoor power supply and the outdoor power supply.

Background

With the improvement of living standard, more families participate in various colorful outdoor activities such as camping or self-driving travel. To ensure the quality requirements of long-term outdoor activities, there is a need for sufficient energy reserves, particularly power reserves, to accommodate the needs of outdoor activities, outdoor operations and entertainment. Furthermore, there is also a need for energy reserves, particularly power reserves, in field operations such as mines, oil fields, and geology to address various lighting and emergency needs in field operations and disaster situations. In this regard, portable and portable outdoor power supplies provide greater power support for outdoor activities and outdoor equipment.

As an example, the existing chinese patent application CN 113285160B provides an outdoor power supply, in which a hollow rectangular box is specifically shown, and a fixed power supply and a control device are provided inside the box. In particular, the outdoor power supply or the top surface of the case body of the outdoor power supply is fixedly provided with a protruding handle to facilitate the overall handling of the user. However, when the outdoor power source or the capacity of the outdoor power source is excessively large to cause an excessively large size and volume thereof, a handle fixedly installed on the power source case may cause inconvenience in storage. For example, after an outdoor power source or an outdoor power source is placed in a storage space of a household vehicle, the protruding handle may occupy a certain space, thereby affecting the storage of other items in the limited storage space. Furthermore, the protruding handle fixed to the case body can be used only for carrying a single outdoor power source or outdoor power source, and is not applicable to other types of power sources or outdoor power sources.

As another example, existing U.S. patent No. 8814283B2 provides an electronic device with a detachable handle. Unlike the above-mentioned chinese patent, the handle of the electronic device described in the patent of the present utility model is mounted on the housing of the server and detachably connected to the housing of the server, thereby facilitating the carrying of the server. The detachable handle is configured as a rectangular square frame member, and an elastic piece having a fixing portion fixed to the outside of the end wall and an elastic portion extending rearward from the fixing portion away from the end wall is fixed to the end wall of the square frame member. Meanwhile, three protrusions are respectively arranged on the shell of the server, the protrusions are firstly engaged with the accommodating grooves of the end wall of the detachable handle, and then the L-shaped abutting pieces on the side surfaces of the elastic pieces are embedded into the end wall, so that a user can lift the server or the electronic device in the frame by grabbing the handle. However, as is clear from the description of the patent and the accompanying drawings, the thin-walled square-shaped handle, while achieving detachable connection with the electronic device housing, is clearly incapable of carrying an excessive weight of the electronic device. In other words, this construction is not suitable for frequent handling of high capacity outdoor power supplies. Further, due to the structures of the accommodating groove and the elastic piece of the square frame-shaped handle, the detachable handle is complex in structure, and rigidity of the handle is affected. Furthermore, repeated insertion between the frame surface and the end wall of the handle and loosening of the associated components during removal and installation of the handle creates impacts during installation that can also produce uncomfortable noise.

Disclosure of Invention

The present utility model is therefore directed to a damping type foldable handle for an outdoor power source, which is constructed to solve at least the above-mentioned problems, and preferably, to overcome the disadvantages that a fixed handle cannot be applied to various types of power sources or outdoor power sources and occupies excessive space in the prior art, and to overcome the disadvantages that a detachable handle is complicated in construction, and has insufficient rigidity to carry high capacity and excessive weight of electronic devices, and noise is generated due to impact during installation.
