Abstract
Disclosed is a charger with foldable pins. The charge may comprise a pair of pins and a housing. The charger may further comprise a button disposed on the housing; and a transmission assembly in the housing. An input end of the transmission assembly is connected to the button and an output end of the transmission assembly is connected to the pins. The transmission assembly is configured to convert a linear motion generated by pressing the button into a rotating motion to drive the pins to rotate relative to the housing to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state.
Claims20
A charger with foldable pins, comprising:
- a pair of pins;
- a housing;
- a button disposed on the housing;
- and
- a transmission assembly in the housing, wherein an input end of the transmission assembly is connected to the button and an output end of the transmission assembly is connected to the pair of pins, and the transmission assembly is configured to convert a linear motion generated by pressing the button into a rotating motion to drive the pins to rotate relative to the housing to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state.
A method of operating a charger comprising a housing and pins, the method comprising:
- pressing a button on the housing to cause a transmission assembly in the housing to convert a linear motion into a rotating motion;
- and
- causing, based on the rotating motion, the pins to rotate relative to the housing from a folded state to an upright state.
A charger with foldable pins, comprising:
- a housing including an opening;
- a pair of pins configured to extend from the opening;
- a button disposed on the housing;
- and
- a transmission assembly disposed in the housing and including:
- a guide sleeve connected to the button and having two transmission feet;
- a transmission sleeve having two first transmission inclined surfaces arranged in opposite directions, wherein the two transmission feet engage the two first transmission inclined surfaces;
- a rotary sleeve disposed between the guide sleeve and the transmission sleeve, wherein the rotary sleeve rotates synchronously with the transmission sleeve;
- and
- a central shaft having a first end fixedly connected to the rotary sleeve and a second end connected to one of the pins, wherein an outer circumference of the rotary sleeve is connected to the other of the pins.
