One end of the pivot assembly 30 is connected to the first pivoting surface 211 and the other end is connected to the second pivoting surface 222 , wherein the first body 21 and the second body 22 are rotatable relative to each other through the pivot assembly 30 . The battery is disposed in the accommodating space of the first body 21, the electrical connector 12 is electrically connected to the battery and is fixed to the first body 21; in other embodiments, the battery can also be placed on the second body. The electrical connector is disposed to be fixed to the second body and electrically connected to the battery. The electrical connector 12 can be connected to the electronic device 1 for power supply through the connecting line, and the side of the electronic device 1 can be stuck into the recess 221, so that the mobile power source 10 can be used as a tripod at the same time.

The normal direction of the first pivoting surface 211 is opposite to the axial direction of the first body 21 by a first inclination angle (not shown), and the normal direction of the second pivoting surface 222 is opposite to the axial direction of the second body 22 There is a second tilt angle, the sum of the first tilt angle and the second tilt angle being substantially 90 degrees, the first tilt angle being substantially 45 degrees, and the second tilt angle being substantially 45 degrees. When the first pivoting surface 211 and the second pivoting surface 222 rotate relative to each other, they are kept parallel to each other, and at the same time, according to the design of the first tilting angle and the second tilting angle, when the first pivoting surface 211 and the second pivoting surface When the 222 rotates relative to each other, the first body 21 and the second body 22 also change the connection angle and the angle between the two, as will be described later.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is an exploded view of the pivot assembly 30 shown on the second axis. The pivot assembly 30 includes a pivot 31, a first positioning member 32, a second positioning member 33, a first fixing plate 34, a second fixing plate 35, a spacer 36, a spring piece 37 and a fixing piece 38. One end of the pivot 31 is connected to the first pivoting surface 211 and the other end is connected to the second pivoting surface 222 . The first positioning component 32 rotates in conjunction with the first pivoting surface 211 , and the second positioning component 33 and the second pivoting surface 222 . The rotation is interlocked and the second positioning element 33 abuts the first positioning element 32. The positioning member 321 is disposed on the first positioning component 32, and the positioning slot 331 is disposed on the second positioning component 33. The positioning block 321 is selectively coupled to the positioning slot 331. In other embodiments, the first positioning component can be modified. To set the positioning slot, the second positioning element instead sets the positioning block.

The first fixing plate 34 and the second fixing plate 35 are symmetrical and disposed symmetrically with each other. The first fixing plate 34 is fixed to the first pivoting surface 211, and the second fixing plate 35 is fixed to the second pivoting surface 222. The fixing means is, for example, a screw-locking. The one end of the pivot 31 is fitted to the first fixing plate 34, and the other end of the pivot 31 is rotatably disposed on the second fixing plate 35. In this embodiment, the means for fitting Specifically, the pivot 31 has a non-circular cross section, and the first fixing plate 34 has a non-circular shaft hole 341 that completely matches the cross section of the pivot 31, so that when the pivot 31 is passed through the non-circular shape When the shaft hole 341 is in the middle, the pivot shaft 31 and the first fixing plate 34 are rotatable in rotation, and the second fixing plate 35 has a circular shaft hole 351 which does not completely match the cross section of the pivot 31, so when the pivot 31 is worn When disposed in the circular shaft hole 351, the pivot 31 is rotatable relative to the second fixed plate 35.

In the present embodiment, the second positioning member 33 is disposed on the second fixing plate 35, and more specifically, the second positioning member 33 is a part of the second fixing plate 35. The partitioning plate 36 is sandwiched between the first fixing plate 34 and the second fixing plate 35. The spacing plate 36 is sleeved on the pivot 31 and is engaged with the pivot 31. The spacing plate 36 can make the first pivoting surface 211. The second pivoting surface 222 is fixed at a fixed distance without contacting each other, thereby reducing the frictional force when the first pivoting surface 211 and the second pivoting surface 222 are rotated relative to each other. The first positioning component 32 is annular and sleeved on the pivot 31 and is engaged with the pivot 31. The first positioning component 32 is located on the side of the second positioning component 33 facing away from the spacer 36, and the elastic piece 37 is sleeved. On the side of the first positioning member 32 facing away from the second positioning member 33, one end of the pivot shaft 31 radially extends with a shaft cap 311, and the other end of the pivot shaft 31 is fixed with a fixing piece 38, a shaft cap 311 and a fixing piece 38. The spacer 36, the first positioning component 32, the second positioning component 33 and the elastic piece 37 are clamped and fixed in a certain range. Therefore, the elastic piece 37 can press the first positioning component 32 to continue to approach the second positioning component 33. When the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 rotate relative to each other, the positioning block 321 increases the distance between the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 in the case that the positioning block 321 does not get into the positioning slot 331. The elastic piece 37 is compressed to generate a large elastic restoring force until the positioning block 321 is locked into the positioning groove 331. Because of the relationship of the elastic piece 37, the positioning block 321 is more easily coupled to the positioning groove 331 and is more difficult to be positioned by the positioning groove 331. Disengage, resulting in a positioning effect. In this embodiment, the positioning block 321 and the positioning slot 331 are two in number, and the two positioning blocks 321 and the two positioning slots 331 are disposed opposite to each other, so that the first pivoting surface 211 and the second pivoting surface 222 are opposite each other. When rotated by 180 degrees, the positioning block 321 is dropped into the positioning groove 331 to be positioned.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 simultaneously. FIG. 1 illustrates a first aspect of the mobile power source 10, and FIG. 4 illustrates a second aspect of the mobile power source 10. Through the positioning effect of the positioning block 321 and the positioning slot 331 , the mobile power source 10 can be selectively set to the first aspect and the second aspect through the relative rotation of the first body 21 and the second body 22; in other embodiments The action power source can also be set to the third aspect or more, by means of, for example, setting a third or more positioning slots at different angles on the positioning element. In this embodiment, when the first body 21 and the second body 22 are disposed in the first aspect, the axial direction of the first body 21 and the axial direction of the second body 22 have a first angle, and the first angle is substantially 180 degrees, that is, the first body 21 and the second body 22 are coaxial, forming a long column shape of a shape; when the first body 21 and the second body 22 are disposed in the second aspect, the axial direction of the first body 21 A second angle is sandwiched between the axial direction of the second body 22, and the second angle is substantially 90 degrees, that is, the first body 21 and the second body 22 form an L shape. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 again, FIG. 5 illustrates that the mobile power source 10 is set to the first state and supports the use state of the electronic device 1. The first aspect of the mobile power source 10 is also convenient to carry; The figure shows that the mobile power source 10 is set to the second state and supports the use state of the electronic device 1, and the second aspect of the mobile power source 10 can provide a more stable supporting effect.
