Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically judge the voltage and charge a plurality of various types of batteries at the same time by forming, in an adaptor whose shape is identical for the same type of equipment, projecting sections for a charger to automatically recognize the voltage and mounting the adaptor on the multi- charger. SOLUTION: When using this charger, an equipment to be charged (a notebook-sized personal computer, a portable telephone, a PHS, a video camera, a lighting appliance, etc.) is first plugged in to an adaptor for exclusive use. Then, the adaptor is mounted on a mounting section of the charger. At that time, the charger automatically judges the voltage by how many projecting sections of the adaptor are brought into contact with the recessed sections of the charger and then charges the equipment by the voltage appropriate for it. By this method, the voltage can be automatically at the some time judged, and a plurality of equipments including notebook-sized personal computers, portable phones, PHSs, cordless auxiliaries of telephones, video cameras, and lightening appliances, whether the same type or different type.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a charger (charging stand) capable of charging a plurality of models at the same time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art One charger (charging stand) and an AC adapter are required to charge one device, and one outlet is always required to charge one device.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

(A) Can a single charger (charging stand) be used to simultaneously charge multiple types of notebooks, mobile phones, PHS, telephone handset, video camera, lighting equipment, etc.? (B) Can three types of charging be performed? (1) Just charging (2) Only energizing (3) Charging while energizing (c) Can the voltage be automatically determined? (D) Is it possible to support the effective voltage 90 to 264 V-AC of the world standard specification? (E) Can the battery be charged even if a power failure occurs? The present invention has solved these problems.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A charger (charging stand) automatically recognizes a voltage by an adapter (1) whose shape is unified for each model of a notebook personal computer, a mobile phone, a PHS, a telephone handset, a video camera, and the like. (Protrusions) (2), charging terminals (3), and insertion holes (4) for devices such as mobile phones. The multi-charger (charging stand) (5) is provided with a portion (6) for mounting the adapter (1), a terminal (7) that can be connected to a notebook computer, an uninterruptible power supply, and the like, and a power plug (8). The mounting portion (6) is provided with a concave portion (hole) (9) for automatically recognizing a voltage and a terminal (10) for energizing the adapter. The present invention is a multi-charger configured as described above.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A device to be charged (a notebook personal computer, a mobile phone, a PHS, a video camera, a lighting device, etc.) is inserted into a dedicated adapter (1). When this adapter (1) is mounted on the mounting portion (6) of the charger (charging stand) (5), the number of projections (projections) (2) is as many as recesses (holes).
The charger (charging stand) (5) automatically determines the voltage depending on whether it touches (9), and charges the battery with the voltage suitable for the model.

[0006]

[Embodiment 1] A mobile phone is inserted into a special adapter (1), and this adapter is inserted into a multi-charger (charging stand) (5)
, And charged. At the same time, the video camera was similarly plugged into a dedicated adapter (1), attached to a multi-charger (charging stand) (5), and charged. mobile phone·
The charging time and usage time of the video camera were the same as those charged with a commercially available charger.

[Embodiment 2] A mobile phone is inserted into a dedicated adapter (1), and this adapter is connected to a multi-charger (charging stand) (5).
, And charged. At this time, the notebook computer was connected to the dedicated terminal (7) of the multi-charger and used at the same time. The charging time and usage time of the mobile phone were the same as when charging with a commercially available charger, and the notebook computer could be used as before.

Embodiment 3 The uninterruptible power supply was connected to the dedicated terminal (7) of the multi-charger, the power plug (8) of the multi-charger (5) was removed, and the mobile phone was charged. charging time·
In use time, there was no difference from the case of charging with a commercially available charger.

[0007]

【The invention's effect】

(B) By using a dedicated adapter and multi-charger for each model, notebook computers, mobile phones, PHS,
It has become possible to simultaneously charge a plurality of mobile phones, video cameras, lighting equipment, and the like of different types or the same type. (B) Since charging can be performed while power is supplied, a laptop computer or the like can be used while charging a certain model. (C) By connecting the multi-charger and the uninterruptible power supply, charging can be performed even in an emergency such as a power outage. (D) Since the voltage is automatically determined, it is possible to support an effective voltage of 90 to 264 V-AC of the world standard specification.
