Abstract

A reel type power bank includes a predetermined shaped housing with an accommodating space, at least one rechargeable battery installed on a side of the accommodating space, a control circuit board electrically coupled to rechargeable battery and having a DC-to-DC power conversion circuit for regulating an output voltage of the rechargeable battery, a USB output interface coupled to DC-to-DC power conversion circuit, and a reel built in the housing, and installed on a side of the control circuit board, and including a winder and a charging cable wound around the winder. The charging cable has an outer end coupled to a USB plug and an inner end extended from the winder and out of the storage case, and electrically coupled to the DC-to-DC power conversion circuit, such that the charging cable can be pulled out for use or wound and hidden into the housing of the power bank.

Claims

1. A reel type power bank, comprising:

a housing, being a determined-shaped body, and having an accommodating space therein;

at least one rechargeable battery, installed on a side of the accommodating space;

a control circuit board, installed in the housing and at an end corner opposite to the other side of the rechargeable battery, and having an inner side electrically coupled to the rechargeable battery, and further comprising;

a charging input interface, coupled to the control circuit board, for inputting a charging power;

a switch, coupled to the charging input interface, and electrically coupled to the rechargeable battery;

a micro control unit (MCU), coupled to the switch;

a constant voltage/constant current circuit, coupled to the MCU;

a direct current to direct current (DC-to-DC) power conversion circuit, coupled to the constant voltage/constant current circuit and the switch;

a universal serial bus (USB) output interface, coupled to the DC-to-DC power conversion circuit, and having a portion exposed from a surface of the housing, for outputting electric power; and

a reel, built in the housing, and installed on a side of the control circuit board, and including a storage case, a winder disposed in the storage case, and a charging cable wound around the winder, and an outer end of the charging cable being extended from a notch formed at the periphery of the storage case and coupled to a USB plug, and an inner end of the charging cable being extended from the winder and out of the storage case, and electrically coupled to the DC-to-DC power conversion circuit, and the winder being rotatable clockwise or counterclockwise in the storage case, such that the charging cable can be pulled out for use or wound and hidden into the housing of the power bank.

2. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the MCU of the control circuit board is further coupled to an electricity capacity display interface, and the electricity capacity display interface is comprised of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and a portion of the electricity capacity display interface is exposed from a surface of the housing.

3. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a groove formed on a side of the reel for accommodating the USB plug when the charging cable is wound.

4. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the chargeable battery includes a lithium battery and a nickel-metal hydride battery.

5. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the reel has a positioning lug disposed at the external periphery of the storage case and provided for fixing a positioning element in the housing.

6. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the charging input interface is a USB connecting base exposed from a side of the housing.

7. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the charging input interface is a foldable plug installed at the bottom of the housing.

8. The reel type power bank of claim 1, wherein the charging input interface is a coil installed in the housing for performing wireless charging.
