[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 On the one hand, the present invention provides a battery compartment cover 10, which is applied to a camera 20 and used to cover the battery compartment 23 of the camera 20, including: a first sliding cover 11, a second sliding cover 12, an opening and closing button 13, a spring 14, and an inner cover 15.

[0034] The first sliding cover 11 has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 116 at one end, which is used to snap into the slot 25 at one end of the camera 20.

[0035] One end of the second sliding cover 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the camera 20;

[0036] The first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12 are slidably connected. One end of the spring piece 14 is connected to the first sliding cover 11, and the other end is connected to the opening and closing button 13. The opening and closing button 13 is located in the button through hole 111 of the first sliding cover 11.

[0037] The opening / closing button 13 slides between the release position and the locked position. When the opening / closing button 13 slides to the locked position, the spring piece 14 abuts against the first sliding cover 11 to restrict the relative sliding of the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12. The locking protrusion 116 engages with the slot 25 to prevent the battery compartment cover 10 from rotating. When the opening / closing button 13 slides to the release position, the spring piece 14 disengages from the first sliding cover 11 to allow the relative sliding of the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12. The locking protrusion 116 disengages from the slot 25 to allow the battery compartment cover 10 to rotate.

[0038] The inner cover 15 is connected to the second sliding cover 12, and the size of the inner cover 15 matches the size of the battery compartment opening of the camera 20.

[0039] It is understandable that the user only needs to press the open / close button 13 to release it, then slide the first sliding cover 11 to disengage the locking protrusion 116 from the slot 25 of the camera 20, thus opening the battery compartment cover 10. When the battery compartment cover 10 is closed on the camera 20, the user simply needs to release the button, and the open / close button 13 will spring back to the locked position, engaging the locking protrusion 116 with the slot 25, thus locking the battery compartment cover 10 to the camera 20. Compared to existing technologies, the battery compartment cover 10 is more effortless and convenient to use, and its multi-layered structure makes it more robust, durable, and has a longer service life.

[0040] The inner cover 15 is made of silicone and is connected to the second sliding cover 12 by a locking mechanism. Its size matches the opening size of the battery compartment of the camera 20, which makes the camera 20 waterproof and usable in various situations, such as rain, water sports, or underwater shooting, and can better protect the battery 22. In addition, the inner cover 15 can also act as a limiter. When the user presses the opening and closing button 13, when the opening and closing button 13 abuts against the inner cover 15, the inner cover 15 can prevent the opening and closing button 13 from sliding further, so that the opening and closing button 13 will not be dislodged from the button through hole 111, thereby better protecting the structure of the battery compartment cover 10.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first sliding cover 11 is provided with a first groove 11a, and the two sides of the first groove 11 are provided with first sliders 112 opposite to each other, forming a slide 113 between the first sliders 112 and the first groove 11a; the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12 is disposed in the first groove 11a, and the two sides of the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12 are provided with second sliders 122, which are embedded in the slide 113 and slide in the slide 113.

[0042] It is understood that the size of the second slider 122 matches the size of the slide rail 113. By embedding the second slider 122 into the slide rail 113, the sliding connection between the first slide cover 11 and the second slide cover 12 can be achieved, resulting in a stable structure and space saving.

[0043] Furthermore, a first protrusion 114 and a second protrusion 115 are arranged adjacent to one end of the first groove 11a, and a key through hole 111 is arranged at the end away from the first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115; a fourth through hole 142 and a fifth through hole 143 are arranged at one end of the spring piece 14; the first protrusion 114 is connected to the fourth through hole 142, and the fifth through hole 143 is sleeved on the second protrusion 115.

[0044] It is understandable that the size of the button through hole 111 matches the size of the opening and closing button 13; the first protrusion 114 and the fourth through hole 142 can be connected by a limiting member to make the spring piece 14 and the first sliding cover 11 firmly connected and not fall off; and the second protrusion 115 is set in the fifth through hole 143 to further strengthen the stability of the connection between the spring piece 14 and the first sliding cover 11, so that the spring piece 14 will not be displaced.

[0045] Furthermore, the opening and closing button 13 has a second groove 13a, and a fourth protrusion 131 is provided in the second groove 13a; the other end of the spring sheet 14 has a third through hole 141, which is embedded in the second groove 13a, and the third through hole 141 is sleeved on the fourth protrusion 131.

[0046] It is understandable that the size of one end of the spring piece 14 with the third through hole 141 matches the size of the second groove 13a, and is embedded in the second groove 13a. The third through hole 141 is sleeved on the fourth protrusion 131, which can make the connection between the spring piece 14 and the opening / closing button 13 more stable.

[0047] Furthermore, the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12 is provided with first limiting grooves 125 on both sides, and the end of the spring piece 14 near the third through hole 141 is provided with a sixth protrusion 144. The sixth protrusion 144 is engaged in the first limiting groove 125 to restrict the relative sliding of the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12.

[0048] It is understood that the third through hole 141 of the spring 14 is connected to the opening and closing button 13. When the opening and closing button 13 is in the locked position, the sixth protrusion 144 is engaged in the first limiting groove 125. At this time, the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12 cannot slide relative to each other. Press the opening and closing button 13 until the sixth protrusion 144 is disengaged from the first limiting groove 125. At this time, the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover 12 can slide relative to each other.

[0049] Furthermore, the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12 is also provided with a first through hole 123 and a second through hole 124. The opening and closing button 13 is slidably disposed in the first through hole 123, and the spring piece 14 passes through the second through hole 124 and is connected to the first sliding cover 11.

[0050] It is understandable that when the opening / closing button 13 slides in the first through hole 123, the first through hole 123 acts as a limit for the opening / closing button 13, thereby limiting the relative sliding range of the first sliding cover 11 and the second sliding cover; and the first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115 can be connected to the spring piece 14 through the second through hole 124.

[0051] Furthermore, a third protrusion 127 is also provided on the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12, and a spring piece 14 is disposed between the third protrusions 127; a limiting protrusion 145 is provided between the fourth through hole 142 and the third through hole 141 of the spring piece 14, and a third limiting groove 133 is provided on the opening and closing button 13. A second limiting groove 126 is provided on the first part 121 of the second sliding cover 12, and the limiting protrusion 145 is slidably disposed in the second limiting groove 126 and abuts against the third limiting groove 133.

[0052] It is understandable that the relatively set third protrusion 127 can fix the spring piece 14. The limiting protrusion 145 cooperates with the second limiting groove 126 and the third limiting groove 133 to make the spring piece 14 more stable when sliding.

[0053] Furthermore, the edge of the opening / closing button 13 is provided with an annular protrusion 134, which abuts against the first sliding cover 11.

[0054] It is understandable that the annular protrusion 134 serves as a limit. When the open / close button 13 is in the locked position, the annular protrusion 134 abuts against the first sliding cover 11, preventing the open / close button 13 from continuing to slide out of the button through hole 111, thus protecting the open / close button 13.

[0055] Furthermore, the second part 128 of the second sliding cover 12 is arc-shaped and is provided with a connecting hole 129, which has an opening.

[0056] It is understandable that the battery compartment cover 10 can be installed or removed through the opening provided in the connection hole 129, which makes it convenient for users to replace the battery compartment cover 10; a handle groove is provided on the arc-shaped outer side wall, which makes it convenient for users to remove the battery compartment cover 10.

[0057] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 116 is provided at one end of the arc of the first sliding cover 11, and a protrusion strip is provided on the outer wall between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 116 and the button through hole 111.

[0058] It is understandable that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 116 is set at the tail of one end of the arc of the first sliding cover 11, and the arc of the arc is the same as the arc of the other edge of the camera 20, which can be more aesthetically pleasing; the protrusion is set on the side near the button through hole 111, which can increase the friction and make it easier for the user to slide the first sliding cover 11.

[0059] Furthermore, a camera 20 includes: a camera body 21 and a battery compartment cover 10 according to any one of claims 1-9;

[0060] The camera body 21 has a battery compartment 23, and the battery 22 is fixed inside the battery compartment 23 by the battery compartment cover 10. The camera body 21 has a battery compartment opening, and the rotating shaft 24 and the slot 25 are provided at both ends of the battery compartment opening. The second sliding cover 12 is provided with a connecting hole 129, which is connected to the rotating shaft 24 to realize the rotatable connection between the battery compartment cover 10 and the camera body 21 and to cover the battery compartment opening.

[0061] It is understandable that the battery compartment cover 10 is connected to the pivot 24 through the connection hole 129. The battery compartment cover 10 remains connected to the camera 20 when it is opened and will not fall off. Furthermore, the battery compartment cover 10 can be detached from the pivot 24, making it convenient for users to replace and for use in various scenarios.

[0062] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of the present invention, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of the present invention, should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
