[0036] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0037] The battery module and electronic device of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this application provides a battery module, which includes a battery pack 10, a battery compartment 20, a locking assembly, and an unlocking assembly 50. A mounting notch 11 is formed on one side of the battery pack 10; the battery compartment 20 forms a mounting cavity 22 with a push-out 21, allowing the battery pack 10 to enter and exit the mounting cavity 22; the locking assembly is located laterally to the mounting notch 11 and includes a locking push-moving mechanism 30 and a locking block 40. The locking push-moving mechanism 30 is located on the battery compartment 20 and elastically connected to the locking block 40. The locking block 40 is used to compress the locking push-moving mechanism 30 and retract it from the mounting cavity 22 when it abuts against the battery pack 10. The locking push-moving mechanism 30 is used to elastically extend when the locking block 40 is facing the mounting notch 11, so that the locking block 40 extends into the mounting notch 11; the unlocking assembly 50 is located on the battery compartment 20 and can drive the locking assembly to unlock the battery pack 10.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting notch 11 is located on the left side of the battery pack 10 and extends in the left-right direction. The push port 21 is located at the bottom of the battery compartment 20 and is used for the battery pack 10 to enter and exit the mounting cavity 22. The locking and pushing mechanism 30 is located on the left side of the battery compartment 20 and is elastically connected to the locking block 40. The locking and pushing mechanism 30 is used to push the locking block 40 to move in the left-right direction.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 During the process of inserting the battery pack 10 into the battery compartment 20, the battery pack 10 enters the mounting cavity 22 through the push port 21. The left side of the battery pack 10 contacts the locking block 40, and the battery pack 10 pushes the locking block 40 towards the locking push mechanism 30, causing the locking push mechanism 30 to compress and exit the mounting cavity 22. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 The battery pack 10 continues to move upward until the mounting notch 11 of the battery pack 10 is aligned with the locking block 40. The locking and pushing mechanism 30 extends elastically, causing the locking block 40 to extend into the mounting notch 11, thereby fixing the position of the battery pack 10 and thus achieving the installation of the battery pack 10 in place.

[0041] During the removal of the battery pack 10 from the battery compartment 20, the unlocking component 50 drives the locking component to unlock the battery pack 10, causing the locking block 40 to disengage from the mounting notch 11, allowing the battery pack 10 to move downwards and be removed from the push port 21. After the battery pack 10 is completely removed, the locking push mechanism 30 elastically extends, pushing the locking block 40 back into the mounting cavity 22.

[0042] The battery module in this application locks the battery pack 10 by setting an installation notch 11 on the battery pack 10, and by setting a locking and pushing mechanism 30 to push the locking block 40 into the installation notch 11. The unlocking component 50 drives the locking block 40 out of the installation notch 11 to unlock the battery pack 10, which facilitates the replacement of the battery pack 10 and improves the efficiency of battery pack 10 replacement.

[0043] Specifically, the unlocking component 50 can act on the locking block 40 to make the locking block 40 exit the installation notch 11; the unlocking component 50 can also act on the locking push mechanism 30 to make the locking push mechanism 30 drive the locking block 40 to move to exit the installation notch 11.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6A locking opening 23 is provided on one side of the battery compartment 20. The locking and pushing mechanism 30 includes a cover 31 and an elastic member 32. The cover 31 is located on the outside of the battery compartment 20 and forms a pushing space 33 that communicates with the locking opening 23. One end of the locking block 40 is movably located in the pushing space 33, and the other end of the locking block 40 can extend into or out of the mounting cavity 22 from the locking opening 23. The elastic member 32 is located between the cover 31 and the locking block 40.

[0045] The locking port 23 is located on the left side of the battery compartment 20 and communicates with the mounting cavity 22. The cover 31 is located on the left side of the battery compartment 20 and forms a sliding space 33 that communicates with the locking port 23, extending in the left-right direction. The left end of the locking block 40 can move within the sliding space 33, and the right end of the locking block 40 can extend into the mounting cavity 22 through the locking port 23, or the right end of the locking block 40 can retract from the mounting cavity 22.

[0046] When the battery pack 10 is not inserted into the mounting cavity 22, the right end of the locking block 40 extends into the mounting cavity 22 through the locking port 23. During the insertion of the battery pack 10 into the battery compartment 20, the left side of the battery pack 10 pushes the locking block 40 towards the cover 31, causing the locking block 40 to exit the mounting cavity 22 and compressing the elastic member 32. The battery pack 10 continues to move upward until the mounting notch 11 of the battery pack 10 is directly opposite the locking block 40. The battery pack 10 disengages from the locking block 40, and the elastic member 32 extends to push the locking block 40 from the locking port 23 into the mounting notch 11, thus locking the battery pack 10 in place.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The locking block 40 includes a pushing part 41 and a locking part 42 connected to each other. The pushing part 41 is movably disposed in the pushing space 33 and abuts against the elastic member 32. The locking part 42 can extend into or out of the mounting cavity 22 from the locking port 23. The locking part 42 has a guide slope 421 for contacting the battery pack 10. The guide slope 421 is inclined upward in a direction away from the pushing part 41.

[0048] The pushing part 41 can move within the pushing space 33 and abuts against the elastic member 32. The pushing part 41 can push the elastic member 32 to compress, and the elastic member 32 can extend to push the pushing part 41 to move. The locking part 42 has a guide slope 421, which is inclined upward in a direction away from the pushing part 41, that is, the guide slope 421 is inclined upward in a direction from left to right. By providing the guide slope 421 for guidance, the battery pack 10 can push the locking block 40 to make the locking part 42 exit the mounting cavity 22.

[0049] During the insertion of the battery pack 10 into the battery compartment 20, the left side of the battery pack 10 first contacts the lower end of the guide ramp 421. Then, the battery pack 10 continues to move upward, pushing the guide ramp 421 to the left, causing the pushing part 41 to compress the elastic element 32 until the guide ramp 421 exits the mounting cavity 22. Then, the battery pack 10 continues to move upward, contacting the upper end of the guide ramp 421 to stop it, preventing the locking block 40 from extending into the mounting cavity 22, until the mounting notch 11 of the battery pack 10 is directly opposite the locking block 40. The elastic element 32 extends and pushes the locking block 40 to the right, causing the locking part 42 to extend into the mounting notch 11, thereby locking the battery pack 10.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 A first guide post 311 is provided on one of the cover body 31 and the pushing part 41, and a first guide groove 411 is provided on the other. The first guide post 311 and the first guide groove 411 slide together.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, a first guide post 311 is provided on the cover 31, and a first guide groove 411 is provided on the pushing part 41. Both the first guide post 311 and the first guide groove 411 extend in the left-right direction, and the first guide post 311 can slide relative to the groove wall of the first guide groove 411. By setting the first guide post 311 and the first guide groove 411 to slide in cooperation, the movement of the pushing part 41 in the left-right direction is guided, making the movement of the locking block 40 into or out of the mounting cavity 22 more stable and reliable.

[0052] In another embodiment, the positions of the first guide post 311 and the first guide groove 411 can be interchanged. The first guide post 311 can be provided on the pushing part 41 and the first guide groove 411 can be provided on the cover 31. The first guide post 311 can be provided on one of the cover 31 and the pushing part 41, and the first guide groove 411 can be provided on the other.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the pushing part 41 is provided with a first guide groove 411, and mounting holes 412 for the elastic member 32 to pass through are provided on opposite sides of the first guide groove 411.

[0054] A first guide groove 411 is provided on the pushing part 41. Mounting holes 412 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the first guide groove 411. An elastic element 32 passes through the mounting holes 412, with one end of the elastic element 32 abutting against the cover 31 and the other end abutting against the bottom wall of the mounting hole 412. By providing two elastic elements 32, the force on the pushing part 41 is more evenly distributed, allowing the elastic elements 32 to push the pushing part 41 more stably and reliably. Furthermore, the first guide groove 411 is positioned between the two mounting holes 412, resulting in better guiding effect.

[0055] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 The battery compartment 20 is provided with a mounting part 24 located outside the mounting cavity 22. The cover 31 and the mounting part 24 together form a sliding space 33. The cover 31 includes a cover plate 312 and a baffle 313 connected to each other and arranged at an angle. The cover plate 312 and the mounting part 24 are detachably connected by fasteners 34. A first guide post 311 is provided on the baffle 313.

[0056] The cover plate 312 and the mounting part 24 are detachably connected via fastener 34, facilitating the installation of the locking assembly. During installation, the locking block 40 is first placed within the sliding space 33, then the elastic element 32 is placed to abut against the sliding part 41 of the locking block 40. Finally, the cover plate 312 and the mounting part 24 are connected via fastener 34, thus installing the locking assembly. Specifically, the fastener 34 can be a bolt, which has the advantages of being readily available and easy to install. Furthermore, the threaded connection enables self-locking, making the connection between the cover plate 312 and the mounting part 24 more stable.

[0057] The baffle 313 and the cover plate 312 are set at an angle. The baffle 313 is located on the front side of the locking block 40. The baffle 313 can stop the locking block 40 and prevent the locking block 40 from falling off, making the structure of the locking assembly more stable.

[0058] In this embodiment, one of the cover 31 and the pushing part 41 is provided with a mounting post 314, and the elastic member 32 is sleeved on the mounting post 314.

[0059] A mounting post 314 can be provided on the cover 31, and an elastic element 32 is sleeved on the mounting post 314. The mounting post 314 can guide the deformation of the elastic element 32 in the left and right directions, making the deformation of the elastic element 32 more stable. Specifically, the elastic element 32 can be a spring, which is convenient to install and replace.

[0060] In another embodiment, the pushing part 41 may be provided with a mounting post 314. Specifically, the mounting post 314 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting hole 412.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 One of the mounting part 24 and the pushing part 41 is provided with a second guide post 241, and the other is provided with a second guide groove 413. The second guide post 241 and the second guide groove 413 slide together.

[0062] like Figure 6As shown, a second guide post 241 is provided on the mounting part 24, and a second guide groove 413 is provided on the pushing part 41. The first guide groove 411 and the second guide groove 413 are located on the front and rear sides of the pushing part 41, respectively. Both the second guide post 241 and the second guide groove 413 extend in the left-right direction, and the second guide post 241 can slide relative to the groove wall of the second guide groove 413. By setting the second guide post 241 and the second guide groove 413 to slide in a sliding fit, the movement of the pushing part 41 in the left-right direction is guided, making the movement of the locking block 40 into or out of the mounting cavity 22 more stable and reliable.

[0063] In another embodiment, the positions of the second guide post 241 and the second guide groove 413 can be interchanged. The second guide post 241 can be provided on the pushing part 41 and the second guide groove 413 can be provided on the mounting part 24.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 A stop step surface 43 is formed between the pushing part 41 and the locking part 42, and the stop step surface 43 is used to abut against the mounting part 24. By setting the stop step surface 43, the locking block 40 is prevented from extending too far into the mounting cavity 22 and disengaging from the pushing space 33.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The locking block 40 is provided with a guide part 44 at one end away from the locking and pushing mechanism 30, and the battery compartment 20 is provided with a guide slot 25 for the guide part 44 to slide.

[0066] The guide portion 44 is located at the end of the locking block 40 opposite to the locking push mechanism 30. The guide portion 44 can be connected to the push portion 41, and the guide portion 44 can also be connected to the locking portion 42. Figure 7 As shown, the left side of the guide part 44 is connected to the push part 41, and the rear side of the guide part 44 is connected to the locking part 42, so that the guiding effect of the guide part 44 is better.

[0067] The battery compartment 20 has a guide slot 25 extending in the left-right direction. The guide part 44 can slide within the guide slot 25. Through the cooperation of the guide part 44 and the guide slot 25, the movement of the locking block 40 in the left-right direction is guided, making the process of the locking block 40 entering or exiting the mounting cavity 22 more stable. The groove wall of the guide slot 25 can limit the guide part 44 in the up-down direction to prevent the locking block 40 from shaking in the up-down direction.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 A guide arm 26 is provided on the bottom wall of the guide slot 25, and a guide hole 441 is provided in the guide part 44, with the guide arm 26 located inside the guide hole 441.

[0069] Both the guide arm 26 and the guide hole 441 extend in the left and right direction. The guide arm 26 can move left and right within the guide hole 441. By setting the guide arm 26 to cooperate with the guide hole 441, the movement of the locking block 40 in the left and right direction is further guided, thereby further improving the stability of the movement of the locking block 40.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 10 The battery compartment 20 is also provided with a base frame plate 27 around the push port 21. The locking block 40 is provided with an unlocking part 45 facing the base frame plate 27. The unlocking component 50 includes an unlocking push mechanism 51 and a button 52. The unlocking push mechanism 51 is provided on the base frame plate 27 and is elastically connected to the button 52. The button 52 is used to push the unlocking part 45 so that the locking block 40 compresses the locking push mechanism 30 and exits the installation notch 11.

[0071] The base frame plate 27 is located around the push port 21, and the locking block 40 is provided with an unlocking part 45, which faces the base frame plate 27. The unlocking push mechanism 51 is elastically connected to the button 52, and the unlocking push mechanism 51 is used to push the button 52 to move in the up and down direction.

[0072] During the process of removing the battery pack 10 from the battery compartment 20, the user presses button 52, causing button 52 to move upward to push the unlocking part 45 and compress the unlocking push mechanism 51, so that the locking block 40 compresses the locking push mechanism 30 and exits the installation notch 11, thereby unlocking the battery pack 10, which can then move downward to be removed from the push port 21.

[0073] After the battery pack 10 is completely removed, the locking push mechanism 30 extends elastically, pushing the locking block 40 back into the mounting cavity 22. After the user stops pressing the button 52, the unlocking push mechanism 51 extends elastically, pushing the button 52 downward, so that the button 52 returns to its initial position.

[0074] By setting the button 52 and the unlocking push mechanism 51 in coordination, the user can unlock the locking block 40 from the battery pack 10 by pressing the button 52, and the user can automatically return the button 52 to its initial position by releasing the button 52, which makes the replacement of the battery pack 10 very convenient and improves the efficiency of the battery pack 10 replacement.

[0075] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11The base frame plate 27 has an unlocking port 271. The unlocking push mechanism 51 includes a key cover 511 and a reset member 512. The key cover 511 is located on the side of the base frame plate 27 near the locking block 40 and forms a moving space 513 that communicates with the unlocking port 271. One end of the button 52 is movably located in the unlocking port 271, and the other end of the button 52 can extend out of the moving space 513 and contact the unlocking part 45. The reset member 512 is located in the moving space 513 and is elastically connected between the key cover 511 and the button 52.

[0076] The unlocking port 271 extends vertically through the key. The key cover 511 is located on the upper side of the base frame 27. The key cover 511 forms a movable space 513 communicating with the unlocking port 271. The lower end of the button 52 can move within the unlocking port 271, and the upper end of the button 52 can extend out of the movable space 513 to contact the unlocking part 45. The reset member 512 is located within the movable space 513. The reset member 512 can elastically deform; specifically, the reset member 512 can be a spring, which has the advantages of being easy to source and convenient to install. The upper end of the reset member 512 abuts against the key cover 511, and the lower end of the reset member 512 abuts against the button 52.

[0077] When the user presses button 52, button 52 moves upward to push the unlocking part 45 and compress the reset member 512, causing the locking block 40 to compress the locking push mechanism 30 and disengage from the mounting notch 11, thereby unlocking the battery pack 10, which can then move downward to be removed from the push port 21. After the user stops pressing button 52, the reset member 512 elastically extends and pushes button 52 downward, returning button 52 to its initial position.

[0078] It is understood that the elastic element 32 and the reset element 512 are not limited to springs, but can also be other structures capable of elastic deformation besides springs, such as elastic sleeves.

[0079] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 11 The button 52 includes a mounting block 521, a mounting plate 522, and a contact post 523 connected in sequence. The mounting block 521 is movably disposed within the unlocking port 271. The mounting plate 522 is used to abut against the periphery of the unlocking port 271. The contact post 523 can extend out of the moving space 513 and contact the unlocking part 45. The reset member 512 is sleeved on the outside of the contact post 523.

[0080] Mounting plate 522 is used for limiting movement, preventing excessive elasticity of reset member 512 from causing button 52 to disengage from unlocking port 271, thus making button 52 easier to use. Abutment post 523 is used to contact unlocking part 45 to push it to move. Reset member 512 is sleeved on the abutment post 523, which guides the deformation of reset member 512 in the vertical direction, making the deformation of reset member 512 more stable.

[0081] Specifically, the number of abutment posts 523 can be one, two, or more, and the number of abutment posts 523 and reset posts 512 are the same and correspond one-to-one. The number of abutment posts 523 and reset posts 512 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and this application does not limit the number of abutment posts 523 and reset posts 512.

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 11 The unlocking part 45 has an unlocking ramp 451 for contacting the abutment post 523, and the unlocking ramp 451 is inclined upward in a direction away from the pushing part 41.

[0083] The unlocking ramp 451 is inclined upward from left to right. The unlocking ramp 451 is used as a guide to facilitate the abutment post 523 to push the unlocking part 45 so that the locking block 40 can be removed from the mounting cavity 22.

[0084] The user presses button 52, causing button 52 to move upward so that the abutment post 523 first contacts the lower end of the unlocking ramp 451. Then the abutment post 523 continues to move upward, pushing the unlocking ramp 451 to the left, causing the locking block 40 to compress the locking push mechanism 30 and exit the installation notch 11, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 11 The top of the mounting cavity 22 is provided with a spring pin connector 28 that extends elastically along the inlet and outlet direction of the battery pack 10. The spring pin connector 28 is used to abut against the battery pack 10.

[0086] The spring-loaded pin connector 28 (pogo pin for short) is a precision connector used in electronic products such as mobile phones. It is widely used in various electronic products for current and signal transmission, i.e., charging and conductivity. The spring-loaded pin connector 28 is used to abut against the battery pack 10 to transmit current. The spring-loaded pin connector 28 is located at the top of the mounting cavity 22 and extends elastically in the vertical direction.

[0087] During the insertion of the battery pack 10 into the battery compartment 20, the battery pack 10 enters the mounting cavity 22 through the push port 21, and the top of the battery pack 10 compresses the spring pin connector 28. During the removal of the battery pack 10 from the battery compartment 20, the unlocking component 50 drives the locking component to unlock the battery pack 10, the spring pin connector 28 extends, and the battery pack 10 can exit from the push port 21 under the action of its own gravity and the elastic force of the spring pin connector 28.

[0088] The following is the working principle of the battery module in one embodiment of this application:

[0089] Before the battery pack 10 is installed, the elastic element 32 pushes the locking block 40 from the locking port 23 into the mounting cavity 22. In this case, the elastic element 32 is still slightly compressed and rebounds, thus ensuring that the locking block 40 is always at the rightmost end, and the unlocking part 45 of the locking block 40 contacts the abutting post 523 of the button 52; at the same time, the reset element 512 rebounds and presses the button 52 into the unlocking port 271 of the base frame plate 27; because the battery compartment 20 is empty, the pogo pin is not compressed and extends to its maximum length.

[0090] When the battery pack 10 is installed, the battery pack 10 moves upward and contacts the guide slope 421 of the locking block 40, generating a component force. The left side of the battery pack 10 pushes against the locking block 40 and moves to the left. At this time, the elastic element 32 is fully compressed, and the abutting post 523 of the button 52 is still in the original position. The abutting post 523 is separated from the unlocking part 45. At this time, the battery pack 10 is not yet installed in place, the installation notch 11 of the battery pack 10 has not yet reached the locking block 40, and the pogo pin has not yet been compressed.

[0091] Continue installation. Once the battery pack 10 is in place, the installation notch 11 aligns with the locking block 40. The compressed elastic element 32 rebounds, pushing the locking block 40 to the right into the notch of the battery pack 10, locking the notch. The presence of the locking block 40 ensures that the battery pack 10 cannot move downwards. The elastic element 32 returns to its initial slightly compressed state before the battery pack 10 was installed. The rebound force of the elastic element 32 ensures that the locking block 40 remains within the installation notch 11. At this point, because the battery pack 10 is in place, the pogo pin is fully compressed, ensuring power supply. Simultaneously, the pogo pin exhibits a slight rebound force, exerting a downward force on the battery pack 10.

[0092] During disassembly, the user can press button 52 with their finger. The abutment post 523 of button 52 pushes the unlocking ramp 451 on the unlocking part 45, and the locking block 40 moves to the left. Thus, the locking block 40 is no longer stuck in the installation notch 11 of battery pack 10. Under the action of the battery pack 10's own weight and the rebound force of the pogo-pin, the battery pack 10 is disassembled. After the battery pack 10 moves down, the pogo-pin returns to its uncompressed state. After the battery pack 10 is completely removed, the elastic element 32 rebounds, the locking block 40 moves to the right, and after releasing the finger, button 52 returns to its initial position.
