Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery compartment technology, and more particularly to a battery compartment structure and a scooter having the structure. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate charging scooters, the battery compartment is usually openable, allowing the individual battery box to be removed for charging. Generally, openable battery compartments have two securing mechanisms: one to hold the battery box inside, and the other to secure the battery compartment lid. Therefore, to remove the battery box, you must first open the lid and then release the securing mechanism, making the process relatively complicated and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a battery compartment structure and a scooter with the structure, which makes it easier to remove the battery box from the battery compartment and makes operation more convenient.

[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a battery compartment structure, including a battery compartment and a battery box. The battery compartment has a flip cover, and the back of the flip cover has a sliding insertion structure. The battery box is mounted on the back of the flip cover via the sliding insertion structure, allowing the battery box to flip into the battery compartment as the flip cover closes. A lock body is located inside the battery compartment, and the battery box, once inside, is locked and fixed to the lock body, restricting the sliding of the battery box and the opening of the flip cover. A battery plug is located on the back of the flip cover. An elastic abutment is located inside the battery compartment. When the battery box is locked to the lock body, the elastic abutment is compressed. The elastic force of the elastic abutment is obliquely upward towards the side where the battery plug is located. The elastic abutment can push the battery box to abut against the battery plug and push the flip cover away from the battery compartment. A battery socket is located at one end of the battery box facing the battery plug, and the battery socket is inserted into the battery plug. The other end of the battery box is provided with... It has a mating surface; when the battery box is locked to the lock body, the mating surface compresses the elastic retaining member accordingly; the battery compartment is also provided with an elastic ejection structure; when the battery box is locked to the lock body, the flip cover presses down on the elastic ejection structure accordingly; when the battery box is unlocked from the lock body, the elastic ejection structure pushes the flip cover away from the opening of the battery compartment; the elastic retaining member is a rolling element; during the process of the battery box flipping into the battery compartment, the mating surface and the elastic retaining member roll together; the mating surface is an inwardly concave curved surface facing the elastic retaining member, and the slope of the mating surface gradually decreases towards the elastic retaining member; during the flip cover flipping down, the degree of contact between the mating surface and the elastic retaining member gradually increases; the elastic ejection structure is a spring pin, and during the process of the spring pin pushing the flip cover upward, the elastic force of the spring pin gradually decreases, and the degree of mutual pressure between the elastic retaining member and the mating surface also gradually decreases.

[0005] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the end of the battery box away from its battery port. When the cover is flipped open from the battery compartment, the handle is exposed outside the sliding insertion structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the flip cover is hinged to the opening of the battery compartment via a hinge, the battery plug is located on one end of the flip cover near the hinge, and the elastic retaining member is located inside the battery compartment away from the hinge, so that the elastic retaining member and the battery plug respectively limit the two ends of the battery box.

[0007] Furthermore, the lock body is located at one end of the battery compartment away from the hinge. The lock body includes a lock hook, and the battery box is provided with a locking ring. When the battery box is flipped into the battery compartment, the lock hook engages with the locking ring.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding insertion structure is a slide rail, and the battery box is provided with a sliding groove, through which the battery box can be slidably inserted into the slide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, in a scooter according to the present invention, the scooter body has the battery compartment structure, and the flip cover is a platform on the scooter.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The battery compartment structure and the scooter having the structure of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1) The battery compartment cover is a flip cover, and the battery box can slide into the back of the flip cover. When the flip cover is closed, the battery box flips into the battery compartment. There is a lock body in the battery compartment that can lock the battery box. When the lock body locks the battery box, it can simultaneously restrict the sliding of the battery box and the flip cover, thus securing both the battery box and the flip cover at the same time. When it is necessary to remove the battery box, only one lock body needs to be opened to open the flip cover and remove the battery box, making it more convenient to use.

[0012] 2) The battery compartment contains a spring pin that can lift the flip cover when the lock body is opened; the battery compartment also contains a roller-shaped elastic abutment, and the battery box has a concave abutment mating surface. As the spring pin lifts the flip cover, the spring force of the spring pin gradually decreases, and the pressure between the elastic abutment and the abutment mating surface also gradually decreases, making the flip cover more stable when it is lifted and preventing the flip cover from suddenly popping out, thus improving the user experience.

[0022] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 9 The battery compartment structure includes a battery compartment 5 and a battery box 3. The battery compartment 5 has a flip cover 2, which is hinged to the battery compartment 5, allowing the flip cover 2 to be flipped to cover the battery compartment 5 or to open the battery compartment 5. When the flip cover 2 is closed, the side facing the battery compartment 5 is the back side. The back side of the flip cover 2 has a sliding insertion structure, on which the battery box 3 can be slidably inserted. Thus, when the flip cover 2 is closed, the battery box 3 can flip and enter the battery compartment 5. The battery compartment 5 also has a lock body 18, which locks and secures the battery box 3 inside the battery compartment 5. When the lock body 18 is locked to the battery compartment 3, the battery compartment 3 cannot slide relative to the flip cover 2, and the flip cover 2 cannot flip relative to the battery compartment 5. Therefore, the lock body 18 can simultaneously restrict the sliding of the battery compartment 3 and the opening of the flip cover 2. When it is necessary to remove the battery compartment 3 from the battery compartment 5, it is only necessary to open the lock body 18. After opening the lock body 18, the flip cover 2 can be opened, and then the battery compartment 3 can be slid out from the sliding insertion structure. Compared with the traditional battery compartment 5 structure, since only the lock body 18 needs to be opened during the process of removing the battery compartment 3, the operation is simplified and it is more convenient to use.

[0024] The back of the flip cover 2 is provided with a battery plug 25, which is a male end; the battery box 3 is provided with a battery socket 35 facing the battery plug 25, which is a female end; the battery socket 35 is inserted into the battery plug 25. The battery compartment 5 contains an elastic abutment 4. When the battery box 3 is locked with the lock body 18, the battery box 3 presses down on the elastic abutment 4, causing the elastic abutment 4 to undergo compression deformation.

[0025] The elastic force of the elastic abutment 4 is inclined upward toward the side where the battery plug 25 is located. The horizontal component of the elastic force of the elastic abutment 4 can push the battery box 3 to slide along the sliding insertion structure, pushing the battery box 3 to abut against the battery plug 25, so that the battery plug 25 and the battery socket 35 are inserted and matched. The vertical component of the elastic force of the elastic abutment 4 can push the flip cover 2 away from the battery compartment 5, so that the flip cover 2 is pressed tightly and the flip cover 2 is prevented from shaking.

[0026] The battery box 3 has a mating surface 321 at one end away from the battery socket 35. When the battery box 3 is locked and fixed to the lock body 18, the mating surface 321 compresses the elastic abutment 4, and the compressed elastic abutment 4 will generate elastic force on the battery box 3.

[0027] The battery compartment 5 is also equipped with a flexible ejection structure, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown, the elastic ejection structure is a spring pin 16, which is fixed to both sides of the battery compartment 5 by a pin fixing screw 14 and a pin clip 15. When the battery box 3 is locked with the lock body 18, the flip cover 2 presses down on the elastic ejection structure, that is, the back of the flip cover 2 presses against the top of the spring pin 16. When the battery box 3 is unlocked from the lock body 18, the elastic ejection structure pushes the flip cover 2 away from the opening of the battery compartment 5, that is, the spring pin 16 pushes upward, pushing the flip cover 2 and the battery box 3 on the flip cover 2 out of the battery compartment 5.

[0028] The elastic abutment 4 is a rolling element, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown, the elastic abutment 4 is a soft rubber roller, which is installed in the battery compartment 5 via a mounting base 41, a knurled pin 42, a flat washer 43, and a base screw 45. During the process of the battery box 3 being folded into the battery compartment 5, the abutment surface 321 and the elastic abutment 4 engage in a rolling contact. Due to this rolling contact, the friction between the battery box 3 and the elastic abutment 4 is relatively small during the folding and closing of the cover 2, allowing the cover 2 to fold down more smoothly. During the opening of the cover 2, because the elastic abutment 4 is a rolling element, the friction between the abutment surface 321 and the elastic abutment 4 is relatively small, so the spring pin 16 can more easily lift the cover 2.

[0029] As attached Figure 9As shown, the mating surface 321 is a curved surface, and the slope of the mating surface 321 gradually decreases towards the elastic abutment 4. That is, the mating surface 321 is a concave surface facing the elastic abutment 4, and the elastic abutment 4 is a rubber roller. Therefore, during the flip-top 2 process, the tightness between the mating surface 321 and the elastic abutment 4 gradually increases. Thus, when the flip-top 2 is flipped down to the closed position, the mating surface 321 and the elastic abutment 4 can be tightly mated, and the mating effect is good. When the spring pin 16 pushes the flip-top 2 upward, the pressure between the mating surface 321 and the elastic abutment 4 gradually decreases, and the elastic force of the spring pin 16 also gradually decreases during the process of pushing the flip-top 3 up, making the process of the spring pin 16 pushing the flip-top 3 up more stable and preventing the flip-top 3 from suddenly popping up.

[0030] The edge of the battery compartment 5 is provided with a solid rubber strip 12. When the battery box 3 is locked with the lock body 18, the back of the flip cover 2 presses against the solid rubber strip 12. The solid rubber strip 12 plays a sealing role. When the flip cover 2 is closed, the battery compartment 5 is relatively sealed, so that the battery compartment 5 has a waterproof function.

[0031] A handle 322 is provided at the end of the battery box 3 away from its battery socket 35. When the spring pin 16 pushes the flip cover 2 away from the battery compartment 5, the handle 322 is exposed outside the sliding insertion structure. The user can grasp the handle 322 and pull the battery box 3 outward to disengage the battery box 3 from the sliding insertion structure on the flip cover 2. (See attached image) Figure 4 As shown, the upper cover 32 of the battery box 3 is provided with a handle 322, and the lower cover 34 of the battery box 3 is provided with an electrical socket.

[0032] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the flip cover 2 is hinged to one side of the edge of the battery compartment 5 via a hinge 23, and the flip cover 2 is connected and fixed to the hinge 23 by a hinge fixing screw 22. The battery plug 25 is located on the back of the flip cover 2 near the hinge 23, and is installed on the back of the flip cover 2 via a fixing base 26 and a self-tapping screw 24. The elastic abutment 4 is located inside the battery compartment 5 at the end away from the hinge 23. When the battery box 3 is locked with the lock body 18, the elastic abutment 4 pushes the battery box 3 until it abuts against the battery plug 25. At this time, the elastic abutment 4 and the battery plug 25 respectively limit the two ends of the battery box 3, thereby limiting the battery box 3 inside the battery compartment 5 and making the battery box 3 less prone to shaking. A sponge board 19 is attached to the bottom of the battery compartment 5. After the battery box 3 is folded into the battery compartment 5, the bottom of the battery box 3 is attached to the sponge board 19. During vehicle operation, the sponge board 19 can prevent the battery box 3 from making abnormal noises or becoming loose due to bumps during driving.

[0033] The lock body 18 is located inside the battery compartment 5 at one end away from the hinge 23, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 and 7 As shown, the lock body 18 is installed inside the battery compartment 5 by lock body fixing screws 17, and the lock body 18 includes a lock hook. A locking ring 31 is provided on the battery box 3; when the battery box 3 is folded into the battery compartment 5, the lock hook engages with the locking ring 31. The lock body 18 is an electronic lock, controlled by a wireless remote control or a related mobile application, making it more convenient to use when unlocking.

[0034] As attached Figure 8 As shown, the sliding insertion structure is a slide rail 211. A pair of parallel slide rails 211 are provided on the back of the flip cover 2. The extension direction of the slide rails 211 is the length direction of the flip cover 2, which is the length direction of the vehicle body. The battery plug 25 is located at the end of the slide rails 211. The battery box 3 has sliding grooves 331 on both sides. The sliding grooves 331 are inserted into the slide rails 211, allowing the battery box 3 to slide into the slide rails 211 through the sliding grooves 331.

[0035] The present invention also provides a scooter, wherein the scooter body has the battery compartment 5 structure, that is, the battery compartment 5 structure described above is applied to the scooter, and the flip cover 2 is the platform on the scooter.

[0036] When the flip cover 2 is flipped up, i.e., when the scooter's platform is open, the battery box 3 is inserted into the slide rail 211 on the back of the flip cover 2 through the sliding grooves 331 on both sides of the box body. This allows the battery box 3 to slide freely downwards on the back of the flip cover 2. When the battery box 3 slides to the bottom, the battery socket 35 at the bottom of the battery box 3 assembly will connect with the battery plug 25 on the back of the flip cover 2. This allows the current in the battery box 3 to be transmitted to the various functional electrical components on the scooter through the battery socket 35, the battery plug 25, and the connection of the wires. Then, the flip cover is flipped down. 2. The mating surface 321 on the battery box 3 rolls into contact with the elastic abutment 4, which presses the battery box 3 against the battery plug 25. When the flip cover 2 is horizontal with the scooter frame 1, the locking hook on the locking body 18 inside the battery compartment 5 automatically engages with the locking ring 31 on the battery box 3, forming a closed unit with the battery box 3, flip cover 2, and scooter frame 1 to prevent the battery from being taken away by outsiders. Furthermore, when the flip cover 2 is horizontal, the solid rubber strip 12 on the upper edge of the battery compartment 5... Corresponding to the back of the flip cover 2, the sponge board 19 inside the battery compartment 5 will also be tightly attached to the bottom of the battery box 3 to prevent the battery box 3 from shifting or loosening due to bumps while the scooter is in motion; the lock body 18 is an electronic lock. When the battery box 3 needs to be removed, the lock body 18 can be opened via remote control or mobile application, so that the lock hook automatically disengages from the lock ring 31. The spring pins 16 on both sides of the battery compartment 5 will push the flip cover 2 and the battery box 3 upward out of the battery compartment 5. The user can flip the flip cover 2 upward and rotate it to an angle that allows the battery box 3 to be pulled out, and then grab it. The handle 322 at the top of the battery box 3 pulls the battery box 3 outward until it is detached from the flip cover 2, thereby removing the battery box 3. Compared with the traditional battery compartment 5 structure, the traditional battery compartment 5 structure usually requires the user to first open the cover of the battery compartment 5 and then release the fixing of the battery box 3 in order to remove the battery box 3, which is relatively complicated. However, the present invention only requires opening a single lock body 18 to slide the battery box 3 out, which is simple to operate, more convenient to use, and can effectively improve the user experience.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
