Abstract

A fast combinational charger includes a shell body, a circuit unit, and a combinational module. The shell body has a bearing seat at the outer side. The circuit unit is disposed in the shell body, and has a first connector. The combinational module includes a module shell body and a module circuit board. The module circuit board is disposed in the module shell body. The module circuit board has terminals protruding out of the module shell body. The combinational module can be placed on the bearing seat. The module circuit board can be connected with the first connector to achieve electric connection with the circuit unit.

Claims

1. A fast combinational charger for a wireless electronic device comprising:

a shell body defining an internal receiving space and having a bearing seat extending from an outer side thereof, said bearing seat having a positioning hole portion formed thereon;

at least a pair of opposed clamping members adjustably coupled to said shell body for capturing the wireless electronic device therebetween in adaptive manner;

a circuit unit disposed in said receiving space and having a first connector accessible through said shell body; and

at least one combinational module supported on said shell bearing seat and detachably coupled to said first connector to be replaceably docked on said shell body, said combinational module including a module shell body and a module circuit board disposed therein, said module circuit boards having terminals protruding out of said module shell body for detachable connection to the wireless electronic device upon the captive placement thereof between said clamping members, said module shell body having formed thereon a positioning body portion engaging said positioning hole portion of said shell body to guide the alignment of said module shell body and said shell body one relative to the other.

2. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein said shell body is formed by combining a front shell and a rear shell.

3. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein a microphone is disposed in said bearing seat of said shell body, and a through hole corresponding to said microphone is formed at a front side of said bearing seat, and said microphone is electrically connected to said circuit unit.

4. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second connector is pivotally joined with said shell body, and said second connector is electrically connected to said circuit unit.

5. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein a said clamping mechanism is disposed at the left and right sides of said shell body.

6. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 5, wherein said clamping mechanism comprises two clamping pieces disposed at left and right sides of said shell body respectively, and one end of each of said clamping pieces is inserted into said shell body horizontal adjustment relative thereto.

7. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 6, wherein a spacer made of elastic material is disposed at an inner side of each of said two clamping pieces of said clamping mechanism.

8. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein said module shell body of said combinational module is formed by combining an upper shell and a lower shell, and said terminals of said combinational module protrude out of a top of said module shell body via an opening preset on said upper shell.

9. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein said terminals of said combinational module include a signal terminal and a power source contact terminal.

10. The fast combinational charger as claimed in claim 1, wherein said circuit unit includes a circuit board and an adjustment knob coupled thereto, said adjustment knob being accessible through said shell body.
