Abstract
A combined power supply and charging device has a 110 volt power input supply, a casing 3 and cable strain devices 7 and 24. A printed circuit board 4 transforms the 110 volt input voltage to that suitable to charge mobile devices such as phones, computers etc from a USB or mini USB port 2. The device also continues to supply an output cable 23 at 110 volts irrespective of the status of the charging port 2 thereby allowing a 110 volt power tool to be used at the same time as a device is being charged from the USB port.
Description
Inline Charger Apparatus This present invention relates to a battery charging apparatus that is either hard wired or factory fitted and rewireable connected inline to a 1 by 1.5mm2 or 2.5mm2 or any other core size llOv electricity supply cable that allows the batteries in mobile communication devices to be recharged via an integrated USB power outlet port, mini USB power outlet port or any other power outlet port compatible with mobile communication devices.
On construction sites, in the UK, workers are not allowed to use 240v mains power to operate their tools. In the UK, only llOv 16A mains power supply and power tools are allowed on construction sites.
In these modern times we all rely on mobile phones, tablets and smart phones to communicate with the rest of the World.
All of these devices are charged up using charging units powered by either 240v mains electricity supplies or 12v supplies such as the cigarette lighter sockets fitted to motor vehicles.
The only 240v power supply on a construction site is normally inside the site office and there are never enough available sockets, if any, for workers to plug their mobile devices into to charge them up.
Workers can often be found sitting in cars or vans plugging their devices into the 12v cigarette lighter type sockets that are fitted to motor vehicles.
Adaptors with USB sockets exist that plug into 11 Ov supply systems such as transformer boxes or junction boxes or two or more way splitters but there are disadvantages in using such adaptors. Charging units also exist that are built into cable reels, I by transformers or junction boxes but when construction workers are using extension leads with single sockets on the power outlet end of the cable, if an adaptor is used to charge up a mobile device, the socket is taken up and cannot be used to supply electricity to power tools.
One solution would be for every worker to be supplied with two extension leads -one to supply electricity to their power tool and one to plug in an adaptor to charge up their mobile device but the cost of this would be prohibitive.
It is the aim of the present invention to provide an apparatus that alleviates these problems.
According to the present invention there is provided a battery charging apparatus in the form of a unit, with one or more integrated power outlet charging ports, compatible, from time to time, with mobile communication devices such as smart phones, mobile phones and tablets. Currently, this would be either USB and I or Mini USB ports and the unit is housed in-line between a lIOv electricity power inlet cable and a IbOv electricity power outlet cable.
Essentially there is one or more power outlet charging ports built into the outer casing of unit.
Essentially each power outlet charging port built into the casing of the unit has a power output supply sufficient enough to charge the battery or batteries in mobile communication devices and the power is supplied via a Printed Circuit Board which is, in turn, powered via the live and neutral wires in the llOv electricity supply inlet cable that is hard wired into the unit.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the charging unit.
Referring to figure 1, power outlet charging ports 2 are integrated into the casing 3.
Referring to figure 1, there is a 11 Ov electricity supply inlet cable 6 held firmly in place by a strain relief grip 7 and the live wire 8, neutral wire 9 and earth wire 10 -all part of the power inlet cable 6 -are connected to the terminal block 11.
Referring to figure 1, there is a live wire 12 and neutral wire 13 conducting the power from the terminal block 11 to the printed circuit board 4.
Referring to figure 1, there is a Printed Circuit Board 4 situated in an internal housing 5.
Referring to figure 1, there is an encapsulating silicon (not shown) that totally encapsulates the Printed Circuit Board to protect the Printed Circuit Board from moisture and shock.
Referring to figure 1, there is a live wire 14 and neutral wire 15 conducting power from the printed circuit board 4 to the power outlet charging ports 2.
Referring to figure 1, there is a live wire 16, neutral wire 17 and earth wire 18 connecting the inlet power terminal block 11 to the outlet power terminal block 19.
Referring to figure 1, there is a live wire 20, neutral wire 21 and earth wire 22 -all part of the outlet power cable 23 -connected to the outlet power terminal block 19 and held firmly in place by the strain relief grip 24.
