Abstract

A portable charging device includes a case, a power generation module, a storage module, and different types of charging connectors. The power generation module is received in the case, and configured for generating an induced current. The storage module is electrically connected with the power generation module, and configured for storing the induced current generated by the power generation module. The charging connectors are connected to the storage module and protrude from the case for electrically connecting to and charging different types of electronic devices.

Claims

1. A portable charging device, comprising:

a case;

a power generation module received in the case, and configured for generating an induced current;

a storage module electrically connected with the power generation module, and configured for storing the induced current generated by the power generation module; and

a plurality of different types of charging connectors connected with the storage module and protruding from the case for electrically connecting to different types of electronic devices and charging the electronic devices;

wherein the power generation module comprises an outer barrel, a coil, a magnet, and two springs;

the outer barrel comprises an upper surface, a lower surface, and an inner surface;

the coil is circled and attached on the inner surface;

the magnet comprises a first end surface and a second end surface;

one spring is connected between the upper surface and the first end surface, and another spring is connected between the lower surface and the second end surface;

the magnet is suspended in the outer barrel.

2. The portable charging device of claim 1, wherein the power generation module further comprises two electrical pads positioned on an outer surface of the outer barrel and respectively electrically connected to two ends of the coil.

3. The portable charging device of claim 2, wherein the storage module comprises a rectification circuit and a storage battery connected with the rectification circuit;

the rectification circuit is connected with the electrical pads, and configured for modulating the current induced by the coil and storing the current in the storage battery.

4. The portable charging device of claim 1, wherein the case comprises two bottom plates and a side plate;

the side plate is perpendicularly positioned at edges of the bottom plates;

the side plate and the bottom plates cooperatively define a receiving space;

the power generation module and the storage module are received in the receiving space.

5. The portable charging device of claim 4, wherein the side plate defines a plurality of through holes communicating with the receiving space, the charging connectors protrudes from the case through the through holes.

6. The portable charging device of claim 5, further comprising a plurality of key rings positioned on the case;

each key ring adjacent to the corresponding through hole.

7. The portable charging device of claim 1, further comprising an engaging element fixed on the case.

8. The portable charging device of claim 1, wherein the coil cuts the magnetic lines of the magnet during moving of the power generation module, and generates an induced current.
