Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of control handle technology, and more particularly to a control handle and head-mounted display device assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Head-mounted displays (HMDs) magnify images on a micro-display screen using an optical system, projecting the image onto the retina and presenting it as a large-screen image to the viewer. This allows for various effects such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Typically, controllers interact with the HMD, allowing users to input control information and achieve different experiences like VR, AR, and MR. The controllers usually have a battery compartment with the battery installed and sealed by a battery cover. However, currently, removing the battery cover on the controllers is inconvenient, impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a control handle and head-mounted display device assembly, which aims to solve the technical problem of inconvenient battery cover removal on the control handle.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide a control handle, comprising:
[0005] The casing has a battery compartment;
[0006] A battery cover is movably disposed in the battery compartment;
[0007] A triggering component is movably disposed within the battery slot, the triggering component having a latching position for latching the battery cover and the housing and a release position for releasing the battery cover and the housing;
[0008] The drive assembly is located within the battery compartment;
[0009] A guide assembly, disposed within the housing, and forming a motion track; and
[0010] A motion component is disposed on the battery cover, and a drive component is driven to engage with the motion component. When the trigger component moves to the release position, the drive component drives the battery cover to slide from a first position to a second position. When the battery cover slides to the second position, the drive component drives the motion component to move along the motion track to flip the battery cover.
[0011] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the motion component includes:
[0012] The support arm has one end connected to the battery cover and the other end extending into the battery slot. The drive assembly is in drive cooperation with the support arm.
[0013] The first link, with one end connected to the support arm and the other end passing through the guide assembly, moves along the motion track under the drive assembly; and
[0014] The second link is spaced apart on one side of the first link and is arranged parallel to the first link. One end of the second link is connected to the support arm, and the other end passes through the guide assembly. Under the drive of the drive assembly, it moves along the motion track.
[0015] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, two sets of guide components are provided at intervals, and the support arm is provided between the two sets of guide components. Each guide component is provided with a corresponding support arm, and the two support arms are connected by a connecting rod.
[0016] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the guiding assembly includes a guide plate disposed within the battery compartment. The guide plate is provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove. One end of the second guide groove communicates with the first guide groove, and the other end of the second guide groove extends away from the first guide groove. When the battery cover slides to the second position, the support arm abuts against the guide plate. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod slide along the first guide groove, and the second connecting rod moves from the intersection of the first guide groove and the second guide groove into the second guide groove and moves along the second guide groove to drive the support arm to rotate, thereby opening the battery cover.
[0017] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the driving component includes:
[0018] An elastic energy storage mechanism is used to store and release the angular energy that drives the support arm to rotate and the deformation energy that drives the battery cover to slide. The elastic energy storage mechanism connects the housing and the battery cover and is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod.
[0019] A limiting plate is provided on one side of the support arm. The support arm and the limiting plate are clamped at both ends of the deformation direction of the elastic energy storage mechanism. The limiting plate is provided with a limiting groove for the connecting rod to slide. The limiting groove is arranged parallel to the first guide groove.
[0020] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic energy storage mechanism is a compression-torsion spring. The compression-torsion spring includes a spring coil assembly, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod. The spring coil assembly includes a plurality of sub-spring coils arranged along the sliding direction of the battery cover. The plurality of sub-spring coils are connected in a spiral shape, and there is a gap between two adjacent sub-spring coils to store and release deformation energy. The limiting plate and the support arm are clamped at opposite ends of the spring coil assembly. The compression-torsion spring also includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm, which are respectively connected to the spring coil assembly. The end of the first torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the end of the second torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly is slidably connected to the inner wall of the battery cover. The sliding directions of the first torsion arm and the second torsion arm are the same as the sliding direction of the battery cover.
[0021] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the control handle further includes a positioning part disposed on the battery cover, the positioning part having a positioning groove, the extending direction of the positioning groove being the same as the sliding direction of the second torsion arm, and the end of the second torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly being slidably disposed in the positioning groove.
[0022] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the triggering component includes:
[0023] A button is inserted through the battery cover and is movably connected to the battery cover; the button is exposed in the battery cover.
[0024] The first latch is located at the end of the button furthest from the battery cover;
[0025] A mounting plate is disposed within the battery compartment;
[0026] A flexible element connects the button to the mounting plate; and
[0027] The second latch is connected to the battery cover. When the button is moved to the latching position, the first latch and the second latch interfere with each other and cooperate with the elastic element to lock the battery cover and the housing. When the button is moved to the release position, the first latch and the second latch are released to release the battery cover.
[0028] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the triggering component further includes a slider, the housing is provided with a groove and an opening communicating with the groove, one end of the slider is connected to the battery cover, and the other end of the slider is slidably connected to the groove. When the triggering component is in the holding position, the slider interferes with the side wall of the groove to lock the battery cover and the housing; when the triggering component is in the releasing position, the slider slides out from the groove through the opening to release the battery cover.
[0029] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide a head-mounted display device assembly, including a head-mounted display device and a control handle as described above, wherein the control handle is communicatively connected to the head-mounted display device.
[0030] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention proposes a technical solution in which a battery slot is provided on the housing, facilitating the installation of battery components. It also provides mounting positions for a trigger component, a drive component, a guide component, and a motion component. The battery cover is movably disposed within the battery slot, allowing the battery slot to be opened or closed, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the battery components. The trigger component is movably disposed within the battery slot; it is understood that the trigger component and the battery cover are movably connected. When the trigger component is moved to the release position, the battery cover is released from its axial fixation to the housing. The drive component drives the battery cover to slide axially along the housing, from a first position to a second position. When the battery cover slides to the second position, the battery cover is released from its radial fixation to the housing, at which point the drive component drives the motion component to move along a motion track on the guide component. During the movement of the motion component along the motion track, the battery cover flips away from the battery slot, thereby opening the battery slot for battery installation and removal. The control handle proposed in this embodiment allows for simple and convenient opening of the battery cover by operating the trigger component. Furthermore, the battery cover is connected to the housing via a drive component, a guide component, and a motion component, preventing the battery cover from releasing from the housing and avoiding accidental drop and damage. Moreover, during the opening process, the battery cover's movement includes both sliding and flipping actions, providing a better user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0042] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0043] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this invention, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0044] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are implemented by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the embodiments of the present invention.
[0046] Based on ergonomics, further exploring user preferences and continuously improving and satisfying the user experience is the future direction of VR controller design. Due to the current structure of VR controllers, the battery cover is prone to slipping off during battery replacement, causing damage. Furthermore, the opening and closing process of the battery cover during battery replacement is not smooth or user-friendly, affecting the user experience.
[0047] This invention proposes a combined sliding and flipping mechanism for a battery cover, which not only prevents the battery cover from releasing from the handle, but also decomposes the opening (closing) process of the battery cover into two actions: sliding and flipping, providing users with a better user experience.
[0048] In view of this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a control handle and a head-mounted display device assembly. By operating the trigger assembly, the drive assembly can sequentially drive the battery cover to slide along the axial direction of the housing and the motion assembly to rotate along the motion track on the guide assembly, thereby realizing convenient opening of the battery cover and improving the user experience.
[0049] To better understand the above technical solution, the following detailed explanation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0050] like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, a control handle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0051] The housing 100 has a battery compartment;
[0052] Battery cover 200, movably located in the battery compartment;
[0053] The trigger assembly 300 is movably disposed within the battery compartment. The trigger assembly 300 has a holding position that is movable to hold the battery cover 200 and the housing 100, and a release position that releases the battery cover 200 and the housing 100.
[0054] The drive assembly 400 is located inside the battery compartment;
[0055] A guide assembly 600 is disposed within the housing 100 and forms a motion track; and
[0056] A motion component 500 is disposed on the battery cover 200. A drive component 400 is in transmission cooperation with the motion component 500. When the trigger component 300 moves to the release position, the drive component 400 drives the battery cover 200 to slide from the first position to the second position. When the battery cover 200 slides to the second position, the drive component 400 drives the motion component 500 to move along the motion track to flip the battery cover 200.
[0057] In this embodiment, the battery compartment on the housing 100 facilitates the installation of the battery assembly. It also provides mounting positions for the trigger assembly 300, drive assembly 400, guide assembly 600, and motion assembly 500. The battery cover 200 is movably disposed within the battery compartment, allowing the compartment to be opened or closed, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the battery assembly. The trigger assembly 300 is movably disposed within the battery compartment; it is understood that the trigger assembly 300 and the battery cover 200 are movably connected. When the trigger assembly 300 is moved to the release position, the battery cover 200 is released from its axial fixation to the housing 100. The drive assembly 400 drives the battery cover 200 to slide axially along the housing 100, from a first position to a second position. When the battery cover 200 slides to the second position, it is released from its radial fixation to the housing 100. At this time, the drive assembly 400 drives the motion assembly 500 to move along the motion track on the guide assembly 600. During the movement of the motion component 500 along the motion track, the battery cover 200 flips away from the battery slot, thereby opening the battery slot for battery installation and removal. The control handle proposed in this embodiment allows for easy and convenient opening of the battery cover 200 by operating the trigger component 300. Furthermore, the battery cover 200 is connected to the housing 100 via the drive component 400, guide component 600, and motion component 500, preventing the battery cover 200 from accidentally falling off and being damaged. Moreover, the opening process of the battery cover 200 includes both sliding and flipping actions, providing a better user experience.
[0058] Specifically, the control handle in this embodiment can be applied to any type of head-mounted display device such as VR glasses, AR glasses, and MR glasses. It can input control commands to the head-mounted display device, thereby realizing interaction between the user and the head-mounted display device. The control handle includes a housing 100, a battery cover 200, a trigger component 300, a drive component 400, a guide component 600, and a motion component 500.
[0059] The housing 100 is the main structure of the control handle, and it has a battery slot inside. This slot can be used to install the battery pack, provide mounting locations for other components within the control handle, and also serves a protective function. Additionally, the housing 100 facilitates user grip. Understandably, the structure of the housing 100 can be a box, case, or other structure with a battery slot; this is not limited here. Optionally, the shape of the housing 100 can be designed to resemble the handguard structure of a European sword. Of course, the structural shape of the housing 100 can be chosen according to actual needs and is not limited here. It should be noted that when installing other components of the control handle within the battery slot, care must be taken to avoid interfering with the installation and removal of the battery pack.
[0060] The battery cover 200 is used to open or close the battery compartment and is movably mounted within the battery compartment. When the battery cover 200 is open, the battery assembly can be disassembled or installed; when the battery cover 200 is closed, it seals the battery compartment, preventing dust, rainwater, etc., from entering, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the battery assembly inside the battery compartment and ensuring the normal operation of the control handle. It is understood that the battery cover 200 is movably connected to the housing 100.
[0061] The trigger assembly 300 is used to lock the battery cover 200 and the housing 100, or to unlock the battery cover 200 and the housing 100. The trigger assembly 300 is movably disposed within the battery slot and may partially extend through the battery cover 200. During its travel, the trigger assembly 300 has a latching position and a releasing position. When the trigger assembly 300 moves to the latching position, the battery cover 200 and the housing 100 are locked and relatively fixed, preventing the battery cover 200 from opening arbitrarily. When the trigger assembly 300 slides to the releasing position, the battery cover 200 and the housing 100 are unlocked, allowing the battery cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100, thus facilitating its opening. The specific structure of the trigger assembly 300 can adopt a common button-type trigger structure found in the market, and is not limited here.
[0062] The drive assembly 400 serves as a power source, providing power for the movement of the battery cover 200. The drive assembly 400 is disposed within the battery compartment and is driven by the battery cover 200. The drive assembly 400 can be a combination of a linear motion mechanism and a rotary mechanism, and is not limited thereto.
[0063] The guide component 600 is used to limit the movement stroke of the motion component 500 so as to enable the battery cover 200 to be flipped open.
[0064] The motion component 500 is used to connect the battery cover 200 and the guide component 600. When moving along the guide component 600, the battery cover 200 can be flipped away from the battery slot, so that the battery cover 200 is opened to expose the mounting slot, thereby allowing the battery assembly to be installed or removed.
[0065] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the motion component 500 includes:
[0066] The support arm 510 is connected to the battery cover 200 at one end and extends into the battery compartment at the other end. The drive assembly 400 is in transmission cooperation with the support arm 510.
[0067] The first link 520 is connected at one end to the support arm 510 and at the other end to the guide assembly 600, and moves along the motion track under the drive of the drive assembly 400; and
[0068] The second link 530 is spaced apart on one side of the first link 520 and is arranged parallel to the first link 520. One end of the second link 530 is connected to the support arm 510, and the other end passes through the guide assembly 600. Under the drive of the drive assembly 400, it moves along the motion track.
[0069] Specifically, the motion component 500 includes a support arm 510, a first connecting rod 520, and a second connecting rod 530. One end of the support arm 510 is connected to the battery cover 200, and the other end extends into the battery slot and connects to the drive component 400. The support arm 510 can be integrally formed with the battery cover 200, which can improve the overall structural strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the support arm 510 can also be detachably connected to the battery cover 200, such as by snap-fit or screw connection, which can facilitate the maintenance and repair of the support arm 510. Two connecting rods, namely the first connecting rod 520 and the second connecting rod 530, are provided on one side of the support arm 510. The first connecting rod 520 and the second connecting rod 530 extend towards the guide component 600 and are slidably disposed within the motion track of the guide component 600. When the trigger component 300 moves to the release position, the drive component 400 first drives the support arm 510 to slide along the axial direction of the housing 100, thereby causing the battery cover 200 to slide. When the battery cover 200 slides to the second position, it then drives the first link 520 and the second link 530 to slide along the movement track of the guide component 600. The movement track has two sub-tracks with different directions. The first link 520 slides in one of the two sub-tracks, and the second link 530 slides in the other of the two sub-tracks, thereby realizing the flipping and opening of the battery cover 200.
[0070] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, two sets of guide components 600 are spaced apart, and support arms 510 are disposed between the two sets of guide components 600. Each guide component 600 is provided with one support arm 510, and the two support arms 510 are connected by a connecting rod 540. Specifically, in order to improve the stability of the battery cover 200 when flipped open, two sets of guide components 600 are provided, and correspondingly, two support arms 510 are also provided. It can be understood that the two sets of guide components 600 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the housing 100, and the support arms 510 are disposed between the two sets of guide components 600 and spaced apart along the axial direction of the housing 100. In this way, the reliable flipping of the battery cover 200 is ensured through the cooperation of the two support arms 510 and the two sets of guide components 600. For example, along the axial direction of the housing 100, a first support arm and a second support arm are provided, and a first guide component 600 and a second guide component 600 are provided accordingly. In this design, the first link 520 and the second link 530 on the first arm extend towards the first guide assembly 600 and are slidably connected to the movement track of the first guide assembly 600; similarly, the first link 520 and the second link 530 on the second arm extend towards the second guide assembly 600 and are slidably connected to the movement track of the second guide assembly 600; the extension directions of the first link 520 and the second link 530 on the first arm are opposite to those on the second arm. Furthermore, the first and second guide assemblies 600 also serve a limiting function. Specifically, when the battery cover 200 is opened and slides to the second position, the first arm abuts against the first guide assembly 600 for limiting; when the battery cover 200 is closed and slides to the first position, the second arm abuts against the second guide assembly 600 for limiting. This achieves limiting in different directions. In addition, the first and second arms can be connected by a connecting rod 540 to ensure the synchronization of the movement of the two arms 510.
[0071] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, the guide assembly 600 includes a guide plate 610 disposed in the battery compartment. The guide plate 610 is provided with a first guide groove 620 and a second guide groove 630. One end of the second guide groove 630 communicates with the first guide groove 620, and the other end of the second guide groove 630 extends away from the first guide groove 620. When the battery cover 200 slides to the second position, the support arm 510 abuts against the guide plate 610. The first connecting rod 520 and the second connecting rod 530 slide along the first guide groove 620, and the second connecting rod 530 moves from the intersection of the first guide groove 620 and the second guide groove 630 into the second guide groove 630 and moves along the second guide groove 630 to drive the support arm 510 to rotate, thereby opening the battery cover 200.
[0072] Specifically, the guide assembly 600 includes a guide plate 610 disposed within the battery compartment. One end of the guide plate 610 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, and the other end extends towards the battery cover 200. A first guide groove 620 is provided along the extending direction of the guide plate 610, and a second guide groove 630 is provided on one side of the first guide groove 620. The second guide groove 630 communicates with the first guide groove 620 and is set at an angle. The side of the second guide groove 630 away from the first guide groove 620 extends towards the battery cover 200. When the battery cover 200 slides to the second position, the support arm 510 abuts against the guide plate 610, interfering with the axial direction of the housing 100, thereby preventing the battery cover 200 from continuing to slide along the axial direction of the housing 100. Then, driven by the drive assembly 400, the first link 520 and the second link 530 slide along the first guide groove 620 and towards the battery cover 200, respectively. When the second link 530 slides to the intersection of the first guide groove 620 and the second guide groove 630, the first link 520 continues to slide along the first guide groove 620, while the second link 530 slides into the second guide groove 630 and slides along it. Since the first guide groove 620 and the second guide groove 630 extend in different directions, when the first link 520 slides along the first guide groove 620 and the second link 530 slides along the second guide groove 630, the battery cover 200 flips over, thereby opening the battery cover 200 and exposing the battery compartment.
[0073] Furthermore, refer to Figures 2-5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 400 includes:
[0074] The elastic energy storage mechanism 410 is used to store and release the angular energy that drives the support arm 510 to rotate and the deformation energy that drives the battery cover 200 to slide. The elastic energy storage mechanism 410 connects the housing 100 and the battery cover 200 and is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod 540; and
[0075] A limiting plate 420 is provided on one side of the support arm 510. The support arm 510 and the limiting plate 420 are clamped at both ends of the deformation direction of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410. The limiting plate 420 is provided with a limiting groove 421 for the connecting rod 540 to slide. The limiting groove 421 is arranged parallel to the first guide groove 620.
[0076] Specifically, the drive assembly 400 includes an elastic energy storage mechanism 410 and a limiting plate 420. The elastic energy storage mechanism 410 serves as a power source, connected to the support arm 510, and provides power for the sliding and flipping of the battery cover 200. The limiting plate 420 is used to fix the elastic energy storage mechanism 410. It can be understood that the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 is positioned between the limiting plate 420 and the support arm 510. As the support arm 510 moves towards the limiting plate 420, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 deforms in the axial direction of the housing 100 and stores deformation energy until the battery cover 200 moves to the first position. At this point, the battery cover 200 and the housing 100 are locked together by the trigger assembly 300. When the trigger assembly 300 slides to the release position, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 releases the deformation energy, driving the battery cover 200 to move along the axial direction of the housing 100 to the second position. The elastic energy storage mechanism 410 is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the connecting rod 540 to prevent circumferential movement of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410. Furthermore, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 connects the housing 100 and the battery cover 200. When the battery cover 200 is closed in the battery slot, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 twists to generate rotational force. When the battery cover 200 contacts and locks with the housing, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 releases the torsional force, driving the first connecting rod 520 and the second connecting rod 530 to slide along the movement track of the guide assembly 600, thereby flipping open the battery cover 200. A limiting groove 421 is provided on the limiting plate 420, and the connecting rod 540 slides within the limiting groove 421 to prevent the limiting plate 420 from interfering with the movement of the first connecting rod 520 along the first sliding groove 370. It is understood that when the first connecting rod 520 moves along the first sliding groove 370, the connecting rod 540 slides synchronously within the limiting groove 421. In this embodiment, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 can be a combination of a torsion spring and a compression spring.
[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 is a compression-torsion spring. The compression-torsion spring includes a spring coil assembly, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod 540. The spring coil assembly includes multiple sub-spring coils arranged along the sliding direction of the battery cover 200. The multiple sub-spring coils are connected in a spiral shape, and there is a gap between two adjacent sub-spring coils to store and release deformation energy. The limiting plate 420 and the support arm 510 are clamped at opposite ends of the spring coil assembly. The compression-torsion spring also includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm, which are respectively connected to the spring coil assembly. The end of the first torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, and the end of the second torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly is slidably connected to the inner wall of the battery cover 200. The sliding direction of the first torsion arm and the second torsion arm is the same as the sliding direction of the battery cover 200.
[0078] Specifically, the elastic energy storage mechanism 410 is a compression-torsion spring, which includes a coil assembly, a first torsion arm, and a second torsion arm. The coil assembly has gaps between adjacent sub-coils, allowing it to deform under pressure and generate deformation energy, providing power for the battery cover 200 to slide axially along the housing 100. The first and second torsion arms are connected to the coil assembly, with the first torsion arm connected to the housing 100 and the second torsion arm connected to the battery cover 200. When the battery cover 200 is closed in the battery slot, the coil assembly twists between the first and second torsion arms, generating rotational force. After the trigger assembly 300 releases the lock between the housing 100 and the battery cover 200, driven by the rotational force, the first connecting rod 520 and the second connecting rod 530 slide along the movement track of the guide assembly 600, thereby flipping the battery cover 200 open. It should be noted that the compression-torsion spring is an irregularly shaped torsion spring, where adjacent coils are spaced apart to generate deformation. In this embodiment, the spring coil assembly is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 540. The connecting rod 540 can be used to prevent the circumferential movement of the spring coil assembly and can also guide the axial movement of the spring coil assembly along the housing 100.
[0079] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, the control handle further includes a positioning portion 700 disposed on the battery cover 200. The positioning portion 700 is provided with a positioning groove 710, the extending direction of which is the same as the sliding direction of the second torsion arm. The end of the second torsion arm away from the spring coil assembly is slidably disposed in the positioning groove 710. Specifically, in order to better guide the axial movement of the compression torsion spring along the housing 100, a positioning portion 700 is provided on the battery cover 200. The positioning portion 700 protrudes from the side of the battery cover 200 facing the battery compartment and extends toward the battery compartment. The positioning portion 700 is provided with a positioning groove 710, the extending direction of which is parallel to the sliding direction of the battery cover 200 when it slides along the axial direction of the battery cover 200. When the battery cover 200 slides from the first position to the second position under the drive of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410, the second torsion arm slides in the positioning groove 710, and the first torsion arm slides along the inner wall of the housing 100.
[0080] Furthermore, refer to Figures 4-6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the triggering component 300 includes:
[0081] Button 310 is disposed in battery cover 200 and is movably connected to battery cover 200; button 310 is exposed in battery cover 200.
[0082] The first latch 320 is located at the end of the button 310 away from the battery cover 200;
[0083] Mounting plate 330 is located inside the battery compartment;
[0084] Elastic element 340, connecting button 310 and mounting plate 330; and
[0085] The second latch 350 is connected to the battery cover 200. When the button 310 moves to the latching position, the first latch 320 and the second latch 350 interfere with each other and cooperate with the elastic element 340 to lock the battery cover 200 and the housing 100. When the button 310 moves to the release position, the first latch 320 and the second latch 350 are released to release the battery cover 200.
[0086] Specifically, the trigger component 300 includes a button 310, a first latch 320, a mounting plate 330, an elastic element 340, and a second latch 350. The button 310 drives the first latch 320 to move closer to the mounting plate 330, separating the first latch 320 from the second latch 350 to release the lock between the battery cover 200 and the housing 100. The first latch 320 engages with the second latch 350, causing them to interfere with each other axially in the housing 100 to lock the battery cover 200 to the housing 100 and prevent the battery cover 200 from sliding freely along the axial direction of the housing 100. The elastic element 340 drives the first latch 320 to move away from the mounting plate 330, causing the first latch 320 and the second latch 350 to contact and interfere with each other axially in the housing 100 to lock the battery cover 200 to the housing 100. The mounting plate 330 is used to provide an installation position for the elastic element 340. It can be understood that the two ends of the elastic element 340 are connected to the first buckle 320 and the mounting plate 330. When the button 310 is pressed, the first buckle 320 moves towards the mounting plate 330, and at the same time compresses the elastic element 340, so that the elastic element 340 generates elastic force.
[0087] The specific working process of the trigger component 300 is as follows: Press the button 310, the first latch 320 moves towards the mounting plate 330, compressing the elastic element 340 until the first latch 320 and the second latch 350 separate. At this time, the button 310 is located on the side of the battery cover 200 facing the battery slot. The battery cover 200 slides from the first position to the second position under the drive of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410, while the button 310 slides along the inner wall of the battery cover 200.
[0088] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the trigger component 300 further includes a slider 360. The housing 100 is provided with a groove 370 and an opening communicating with the groove 370. One end of the slider 360 is connected to the battery cover 200, and the other end of the slider 360 is slidably connected to the groove 370. When the trigger component 300 is in the holding position, the slider 360 and the side wall of the groove 370 interfere with each other to lock the battery cover 200 and the housing 100. When the trigger component 300 is in the release position, the slider 360 slides out of the groove 370 from the opening to release the battery cover 200.
[0089] Specifically, to prevent the battery cover 200 from rotating arbitrarily relative to the housing 100, the triggering assembly 300 also includes a slider 360 and a groove 370 that cooperates with the slider 360. The slider 360 is disposed on the battery cover 200, while the groove 370 is disposed on the housing 100. When the battery cover 200 slides from the first position to the second position, the slider 360 slides synchronously, gradually sliding out of the opening of the groove 370. The slider 360 separates from the groove 370, and the inner wall of the groove 370 releases its interference with the slider 360. The battery cover 200 flips open under the drive of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410. When the battery cover 200 slides from the second position to the first position, the slider 360 slides synchronously, gradually sliding into the groove 370 through the opening. The inner wall of the groove 370 blocks or interferes with the slider 360, preventing the battery cover 200 from flipping open arbitrarily under the drive of the elastic energy storage mechanism 410.
