The present invention relates to a mobile electronic device combination having a mobile electronic device and a mobile power device, and more particularly to a mobile electronic device combination in which a mobile power device can be firmly attached to a mobile electronic device to provide power of the mobile electronic device.

Mobile electronic devices are designed with ease of use and can be used at any time without having to relocate power to a fixed location (such as utility power). Therefore, current mobile electronic devices are internally provided with a battery, which may be a built-in rechargeable battery or a battery that is generally required to be replaced. The battery capacity deeply affects the time that the mobile electronic device can operate, and indirectly affects the convenience of using the mobile electronic device. The size of the battery capacity is often reflected in its size. However, mobile electronic devices are currently designed to be light and thin, and the space for accommodating the battery is greatly reduced, so that the battery capacity is difficult to increase. As the user's functional requirements for mobile electronic devices are increasing, the power consumption is also increased, which further highlights that battery capacity is difficult to meet the needs of long-term operation.

In response to this problem, there is currently a reduction in the operating power consumption of mobile electronic devices or the use of replaceable batteries to extend the operating time. However, it is still difficult to reduce the limited capacity of the built-in battery. In the face of increasing power consumption, the battery capacity will still be highlighted. The battery capacity after replacing the battery is still roughly the same as the original battery capacity, resulting in a high In an energy-consuming operating environment, it is necessary to constantly change the battery environment. In addition, there is also a scheme of using an external mobile power supply. However, in addition, the connected mobile power supply is mostly connected by a connection line. In the process of moving, since it cannot be mounted on the mobile electronic device as a whole, it is easy to fall off. Moreover, the connector of the cable is easily worn for a long period of time, causing poor contact, and the external mobile power source is not suitable for movement, use, and inconvenience of the mobile electronic device.

In view of the problems in the prior art, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a mobile electronic device assembly including a mobile electronic device and a mobile power supply device, by which the mobile power device is directly coupled to the mobile electronic device to provide the mobile device. The electronic device is stable in power to extend the operating time of the mobile electronic device.

The mobile electronic device combination of the present invention comprises a mobile electronic device and a mobile power supply device of the present invention. The mobile electronic device comprises a housing and a first electrode connecting member and a second electrode connecting member exposed to the housing, the housing comprising a connecting member. The mobile power device includes a body, a power supply module, and a connection mechanism. The power supply module is disposed in the body. The connecting mechanism is connected to the body and includes a third electrode connecting member, a fourth electrode connecting member and a holding member. The third electrode connecting member and the fourth electrode connecting member are electrically connected to the power supply module. The holding member is located between the third electrode connecting member and the fourth electrode connecting member.

Therefore, the mobile electronic device combination of the present invention utilizes a stable engagement structure to enable the mobile power supply device to be firmly attached to the mobile electronic device, and the electrode connection member can be in close contact even when the mobile electronic device moves, the mobile power supply device The stable power of the mobile electronic device can still be provided. In addition to providing a longer operation time of the mobile electronic device, the problem of the contact loss and discomfort caused by the conventional external mobile power connector loss and the movement and use of the mobile electronic device are also solved. In addition, the present invention can also utilize the stable connection between the mobile power device and the mobile electronic device to enable the mobile electronic device to be stably supported on a plane, thereby providing a more diverse operation mode for the user.

The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a mobile electronic device assembly 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mobile electronic device assembly 1 includes a mobile electronic device 12 and a mobile power device 14. The mobile electronic device 12 includes a housing 122, a first electrode connector 124, and a second electrode connector 126. The first electrode connector 124 and the second electrode connector 126 are exposed to the housing 122. The mobile power device 14 includes a body 142, a power supply module 144 (shown in phantom in FIG. 1), and a connection mechanism 146. The power supply module 144 is disposed on the body 142. The mobile power device 14 is coupled to the back of the mobile electronic device 12 via the engagement mechanism 146. The housing 122 includes a connector 1222 having, for example, a circular contour, but is not limited to this shape. The first electrode connecting member 124 and the second electrode connecting member 126 are disposed around the connecting member 1222. The length of the first electrode connecting member 124 around the connecting member 1222 is greater than the length of the second electrode connecting member 126 around the connecting member 1222. In an embodiment, the aforementioned length is the arc length around the circular contour.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the mobile power device 14 in another view, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the connecting mechanism 146 and the casing 122 . In the figure, line XX, in which the circuit connection portion is omitted in FIG. 3 for ease of illustration, and in order to facilitate comparison with FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is substantially a cross-sectional view formed by the line XX in FIG. It is rotated by 180 degrees. The joint mechanism 146 is pivotally connected to the body 142 via a universal joint 148. In the embodiment, the universal joint 148 is mainly implemented by a ball joint, but the invention is not limited thereto. The connecting mechanism 146 includes a third electrode connecting member 1462, a fourth electrode connecting member 1464 and a holding member 1466. The third electrode connector 1462 and the fourth electrode connector 1464 are electrically connected to the power supply module 144 (also shown by a broken line in FIG. 2), wherein the electrical connection can be conventionally known. It is achieved by means of a universal joint, and will not be described again. The holding member 1466 is located between the third electrode connector 1462 and the fourth electrode connector 1464. The holding member 1466 can be engaged with the connecting member 1222 of the housing 122 so that the mobile power device 14 can be firmly attached to the mobile electronic device 12, and the third electrode connecting member 1462 and the fourth electrode connecting member 1464 are respectively connected to the first electrode. The piece 124 and the second electrode connector 126 are in intimate contact to provide power to the mobile electronic device 12.

In the present embodiment, the connecting member 1222 includes a magnetic portion, and the holding member 1466 also includes a magnetic portion, whereby the holding member 1466 can utilize magnetic attraction to engage with the connecting member 1222. In practice, the magnetic attraction is not limited to the magnets. For example, when the magnetic portion of the connecting member 1222 is a magnet or the connecting member 1222 is a magnet as a whole, the holding member 1466 can be made of a paramagnetic material. When the object is made, or when the magnetic portion of the holding member 1466 is a magnet or the holding member 1466 is a magnet as a whole, the connecting member 1222 can be an object made of a paramagnetic material. In addition, in principle, the magnetic attraction is not limited to the direct contact of the magnetic member, and therefore the magnetic portion of the connecting member 1222 can be disposed in the housing 122 without external exposure, which can increase the appearance of the housing 122. In addition, in the embodiment, the connector 1222 is also a power button of the mobile electronic device 12, which can further integrate the mobile electronic device 12, and can also improve the appearance of the housing 122.

In the foregoing embodiment, the engaging mechanism 146 is substantially planarly engaged with the housing 122, and the main holding force is achieved by the magnetic attraction between the holding member 1466 and the connecting member 1222, but the invention is not limited thereto. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a cross-sectional view of the engagement mechanism 147 and the housing 122 according to another embodiment. The description of the cross-sectional position is the same as that described in FIG. The main difference from the foregoing embodiment is that the engaging mechanism 147 and the housing 122 also provide structural restraint to improve the joint strength between the engaging mechanism 147 and the housing 122. As shown in FIG. 4, the first electrode connector 125 protrudes outwardly from the outer surface of the housing 122 with respect to the second electrode connector 127, and the fourth electrode connector 1465 protrudes outward relative to the third electrode connector 1463. On the outer surface of the engagement mechanism 147; correspondingly, the third electrode connector 1463 is recessed into the outer surface of the engagement mechanism 147, and the second electrode connector 127 is recessed into the outer surface of the housing 122. Thereby, the first electrode connecting member 125 partially protrudes into the engaging mechanism 147, and the fourth electrode connecting member 1465 partially protrudes into the housing 122, so that structural restraint can be generated to increase the joint strength between the engaging mechanism 147 and the housing 122. In addition to contributing to the strength of the joint, the concave and convex interface also has a foolproof effect. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first electrode connector 125 protrudes from the housing 122, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first electrode connector 125 and the second electrode connector 127 both sink into the housing 122, but still maintain the concave and convex interface structure, which can also increase the bonding strength and still have a foolproof effect; likewise, for example, the first electrode connection The member 125 and the second electrode connecting member 127 can also protrude from the housing 122 to extend into the engaging mechanism 147, and can also increase the joint strength and still have a foolproof effect.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a side view of the mobile electronic device assembly 1 after being connected. After the engagement mechanism 146 is engaged with the housing 122, the mobile electronic device 12 can stand to provide different modes of use, such as one-handed operation or static expansion. In the present embodiment, the body 142 includes a non-slip insulator 1422, whereby the mobile power device 14 can be placed on a plane P1 with the anti-slip insulator 1422 to support the mobile electronic device 12 more stably. In addition, in the embodiment, the power supply module 144 includes a battery 1442 disposed in the body 142 to serve as a power source. In practice, the power supply module 144 may further include a solar panel 1444 (shown in phantom) disposed on the body 142 or as one of the power sources; in particular, when the mobile electronic device 12 is stationary. When the mode is operated, since the power consumption is usually not large, the solar panel 1444 is sufficient as a power source, and the power can be operated for a long time to avoid the problem that the power of the battery 1442 will eventually be exhausted. In addition, solar panel 1444 can also charge battery 1442.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a side view of the mobile electronic device assembly 1 in another state after the connection. The housing 122 includes a magnet 128. The body 142 includes a magnetic housing 1424, such as a housing made of a paramagnetic material (e.g., an iron housing) that utilizes magnetic attraction to enable the magnetic housing 1424 to be attracted to the housing 122. Therefore, even when the mobile power device 14 is used, the user can conveniently grasp and move the mobile electronic device 12 to operate, and solve the inconvenience caused by the user by using the external mobile power source using the connection mode. In addition, referring to FIG. 1 , the first electrode connecting member 124 and the second electrode connecting member 126 both have a certain extended arc length around the connecting member 1222, so that the mobile power source device 14 can be allowed to be different with respect to the connecting member 1222. The rotation angle is attached to the mobile electronic device 12 to maintain the correct electrical connection, so that the user can adjust the overall center of gravity of the mobile electronic device assembly 1 to facilitate the operation of the mobile electronic device 12.

As described above, the mobile electronic device combination and the mobile power supply device thereof of the present invention provide a stable connection structure in addition to providing additional power support for the mobile electronic device by using the mobile power supply device, so that the user can conveniently use the mobile power device even when using the mobile power device. The operation of the mobile electronic device is grasped and moved, and the mobile power device can maintain a good electrical connection with the mobile electronic device, thereby solving the problem that the external external mobile power connector wears out and causes contact failure and discomfort with the movement and use of the mobile electronic device. In addition, the mobile power device can also be used as a support for the mobile electronic device to stand on the table top or other plane.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
