Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a fixing structure, particularly to a fixing structure for fixing a battery module. Background Art
[0002] For the battery module connector of an electric bicycle, the battery module contains a female terminal connector inside, which is docked with the male terminal connector on the bicycle during installation. However, generally, the structures of the male and female terminal connectors and the fixing connector are rigid structures. If the material is deformed or the size is not good, stress may be generated in the connector and the fixing mechanism, which may affect the signal or current transmission quality and efficiency in the long term.
[0003] In addition, if vibrations occur during bicycle riding, relative movement may occur between the battery module and the fixing structure, and friction may occur between the male and female terminal connectors of the connector, which will also affect the signal or current transmission quality and efficiency in the long term, resulting in reduced lifespan or even functional failure.
[0004] Therefore, how to propose a fixing structure to achieve the effect of improving the service life or solving the problem of functional failure is one of the problems that the industry urgently wants to invest in research and development resources to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, an object of the present disclosure is to propose a fixing structure that can effectively solve the above problems.
[0006] To achieve the above object, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a fixing structure includes a fixing base, an adapter, and a connector. The fixing base has an accommodating space and includes a plurality of elastic members. Each of the plurality of elastic members has a fixed end and a free end. The free end has a clamping portion. The adapter is disposed in the accommodating space. The clamping portion abuts against the outer wall of the adapter. The connector is connected to the adapter and extends out of the fixing base from the accommodating space. There is a gap between the fixed end and the adapter. The elastic member compensates for the displacement caused by the connector driving the adapter through the clamping portion and the gap.
[0007] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the connector and the adapter reciprocate relative to the fixing base in three axial directions.
[0008] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamping portion further has a first inclined surface. The first inclined surface gradually approaches the adapter along the direction from the fixed end to the free end.
[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the adapter further includes a buckle portion and a protrusion. The buckle portion extends from the adapter. The protrusion is located at the end of the buckle portion. The protrusion protrudes towards the fixing base. The fixing base further has a first opening. The protrusion is configured to be partially received in the first opening.
[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the bump further has a second inclined surface. The second inclined surface gradually approaches the fixing base along the axial direction.
[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the bump further has an abutting surface at one end of the latching portion close to the connector.
[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, when the connector and the adapter are unloaded from the fixing base along the axial direction, the abutting surface of the bump is blocked by the first opening and abuts against the inner wall of the first opening.
[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the adapter further includes a limiting portion. The limiting portion extends from the adapter and protrudes toward the fixing base. The limiting portion is located at one end of the adapter away from the connector. The fixing base further has a second opening at one end of the fixing base away from the connector. The limiting portion is configured to be received in the second opening.
[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, there is a gap between the limiting portion and the inner wall of the second opening.
[0015] In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the adapter further includes a buffer member at one end of the adapter away from the connector.
[0016] In summary, in the fixing structure of the present disclosure, since the fixing base includes a plurality of elastic members, when the adapter connected to the connector is located in the accommodating space, the plurality of elastic members can abut against the adapter, so that the adapter can be automatically aligned with the center of the fixing base, and there is a gap between the adapter and the fixing base. In the fixing structure of the present disclosure, since the adapter includes a latching portion and the fixing base has a first opening corresponding to the latching portion, when the adapter connected to the connector is located in the accommodating space, the bump at the end of the latching portion is partially received in the first opening, so that the adapter is not easily detached from the fixing base. The fixing structure of the present disclosure allows the adapter and the connector to float in the accommodating space, thereby avoiding wear between the connector and the fixing base.
[0017] The above is only used to elaborate on the problems to be solved by the present disclosure, the technical means for solving the problems, and the effects produced thereby. The specific details of the present disclosure will be introduced in detail in the following embodiments and related drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] Multiple embodiments of the present disclosure will be disclosed below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described together in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not used to limit the present disclosure. That is to say, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, these practical details are not necessary. In addition, for the purpose of simplifying the drawings, some conventional structures and elements will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the drawings. The same reference numerals will be used to represent the same or similar elements in all the drawings.
[0040] The structures, functions of the components included in the fixing structure 100 of the present embodiment and the connection relationships between the components will be introduced in detail below.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 . Figure 1 An exploded view of a fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, in the present embodiment, the fixing structure 100 includes a fixing base 110, an adapter 120, and a connector 130. The fixing base 110 has a receiving space AS. The adapter 120 is configured to be received in the receiving space AS. The connector 130 is connected to the adapter 120. The connector 130 extends out of the fixing base 110 from the receiving space AS. As Figure 1 As shown, in the present embodiment, the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are configured to be mounted on the fixed base 110 along the mounting direction ID with respect to the fixed base 110 and unloaded from the fixed base 110 along the unloading direction UND. As Figure 1 shown, the fixed base 110 includes side plates 110A, 110B, 110C, 110D and a back plate 110E. The four side plates 110A, 110B, 110C and 110D are surrounded and spliced. In some embodiments, the side plates 110A, 110B, 110C, 110D and the back plate 110E together define an accommodation space AS of the fixed base 110. As Figure 1 shown, the fixed base 110 includes a plurality of elastic members 112. In some embodiments, the plurality of elastic members 112 are disposed on the side plates 110A, 110B, 110C and 110D.
[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 . As Figure 1 shown, the adapter 120 includes a buckle portion 122. The buckle portion 122 extends from the adapter 120. The fixed base 110 further has a plurality of openings O1. The openings O1 are disposed corresponding to the adapter 120. In the present embodiment, the buckle portion 122 is configured to be latched with the openings O1. In some embodiments, the adapter 120 has an outer wall 120a. The buckle portion 122 protrudes relative to the outer wall 120a. As Figure 1 shown, the adapter 120 further includes a buffer member 126. The buffer member 126 is configured to abut against the back plate 110E of the fixed base 110. The buffer member 126 is located at an end of the adapter 120 away from the connector 130. In some embodiments, the adapter 120 further has a wire routing opening RH. Specifically, the connector 130 is configured to be connected to the female end of a battery module (not shown). The female end of the above battery module (not shown) is connected to a plurality of wires (not shown). When the female end of the battery module is coupled to the connector 130, the above wires pass through the holes of the connector 130 and extend out of the adapter 120 through the wire routing opening RH.
[0043] In some embodiments, the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are locked to each other.
[0044] The structures, functions of the components included in the fixed base 110 and the adapter 120 of the present embodiment and the connection relationships between the components will be introduced in detail below.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 . Figure 2 is a perspective view of a fixed structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2As shown, in the present embodiment, the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are mounted on the fixed base 110 along the above-mentioned mounting direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z. Specifically, a plurality of elastic members 112 all abut against the adapter 120, so that the adapter 120 connected to the connector 130 can float in the accommodation space AS of the fixed base 110. Thereby, the connector 130 and the adapter 120 can reciprocate relative to the fixed base 110 in three axial directions (for example, the axial direction X, the axial direction Y, and the axial direction Z).
[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 . Figure 3 Another perspective view of the fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, in the present embodiment, the fixed base 110 further has an opening O2. The opening O2 is located at one end of the fixed base 110 away from the connector 130. As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the opening O2 is provided on the back plate 110E. As Figure 3 shown, when the adapter 120 connected to the connector 130 is installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed base 110, a part of the adapter 120 is partially accommodated in the opening O2.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 . Figure 4 A perspective sectional view of the fixing structure 100 along the Figure 3 section line A-A' according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 Illustrates the structures of the respective elements of the fixed base 110 and the adapter 120 in more detail and the connection relationships between the respective elements. As Figure 4 shown, in the present embodiment, the adapter 120 further includes a protrusion 123. The protrusion 123 is located at the end of the buckle portion 122. In some embodiments, the protrusion 123 protrudes toward the fixed base 110. The protrusion 123 is configured to be partially accommodated in the opening O1. In some embodiments, the opening O1 has an inner wall 110s1. As Figure 4 shown, the protrusion 123 further has an inclined surface 123s and an abutting surface 123a. The inclined surface 123s and the abutting surface 123a are respectively located at opposite ends of the protrusion 123. The inclined surface 123s gradually approaches the fixed base 110 along the axial direction (for example, the axial direction Z). In some embodiments, the inclined surface 123s gradually approaches the fixed base 110 along the unloading direction UND. In some embodiments, the abutting surface 123a is located at the end of the buckle portion 122 close to the connector 130.
[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 . As Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the adapter 120 further includes a limiting portion 124. The limiting portion 124 is configured to be received in the opening O2. The limiting portion 124 extends from the adapter 120 and protrudes toward the fixing base 110. In some embodiments, the limiting portion 124 protrudes toward the back plate 110E of the fixing base 110. In some embodiments, the limiting portion 124 is located at an end of the adapter 120 away from the connector 130. In some embodiments, the opening O2 has an inner wall 110s2. In some embodiments, when the adapter 120 is installed in the accommodating space AS of the fixing base 110, the inner wall 110s2 of the opening O2 surrounds the limiting portion 124.
[0049] In a usage scenario, when the connector 130 and the adapter 120 are installed on the fixing base 110 along the axial direction (e.g., the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the inclined surface 123s of the bump 123 is interfered by the side plates 110A and 110B of the fixing base 110, causing the snap portion 122 to be temporarily deformed. Since the inclined surface 123s of the bump 123 approaches the fixing base 110 along the unloading direction UND, even if the bump 123 is interfered by the side plates 110A and 110B when moving toward the fixing base 110 along the installation direction ID, it can still smoothly continue to move forward toward the fixing base 110. Then, when the connector 130 and the adapter 120 continue to move forward along the above-mentioned axial direction (e.g., the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the limiting portion 124 is received in the opening O2. At the same time, the elastic recovery of the snap portion 122 causes the bump 123 to be partially received in the opening O1. Thereby, the adapter 120 can be made not easily detached from the fixing base 110. Conversely, when the connector 130 and the adapter 120 are unloaded from the fixing base 110 along the axial direction (e.g., the unloading direction UND parallel to the axial direction Z), the abutting surface 123a of the bump 123 is blocked by the opening O1 and abuts against the inner wall 110s1 of the opening O1. Thereby, the adapter 120 can be made not easily detached from the fixing base 110. If the user wants to actually unload the adapter 120 and the connector 130 from the fixing base 110, the user can simultaneously press the bumps 123 on the opposite sides at the opening O1 with fingers or through other tools, causing the snap portions 122 on the opposite sides to be temporarily deformed and the bumps 123 to be not temporarily received in the opening O1. Then, the user holds the adapter 120 and the connector 130 and unloads the adapter 120 and the connector 130 from the fixing base 110 along the unloading direction UND.
[0050] In some embodiments, the snap portions 122 are provided on opposite sides of the adapter 120. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the number of the snap portions 122.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 5 。 Figure 5A cross-sectional view of a fixing structure 100 along the cutting plane line A-A' according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, when the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 110, there is a spacing D1 between the abutting surface 123a of the bump 123 and the inner wall 110s1 of the opening O1. There is a spacing D2 between the limiting portion 124 of the adapter 120 and the inner wall 110s2 of the opening O2. Figure 5 As
[0052] shown, in some embodiments, the spacing D1 is about 0.8 millimeters. In some embodiments, the spacing D2 is about 0.5 millimeters. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the sizes of the spacing D1 and the spacing D2.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 . Figure 6 A three-dimensional cross-sectional view of a fixing structure 100 along the cutting plane line B-B' according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, each elastic member 112 of the fixing base 110 has a fixed end XE and a free end FE. As Figure 6 shown, the free end FE of the elastic member 112 has a clamping portion 113. The clamping portion 113 is configured to abut against the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120. As Figure 6 shown, the clamping portion 113 further has an inclined surface 113s. The inclined surface 113s gradually approaches the adapter 120 along the direction from the fixed end XE to the free end FE. In some embodiments, the inclined surface 113s gradually approaches the fixing base 110 along the unloading direction UND. Figure 6 As
[0054] In a usage scenario, when the connector 130 and the adapter 120 are installed on the fixing base 110 along the axial direction (for example, the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the inclined surface 113s of the clamping portion 113 is interfered by the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120, causing the elastic member 112 to undergo temporary deformation. Since the inclined surface 113s of the clamping portion 113 approaches the fixing base 110 along the unloading direction UND, even if the clamping portion 113 is interfered by the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120 when advancing toward the fixing base 110 along the installation direction ID, it can still smoothly continue to advance toward the fixing base 110. Then, when the connector 130 and the adapter 120 continue to advance along the above axial direction (for example, the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the elastic recovery of the elastic member 112 causes the plurality of clamping portions 113 to simultaneously abut against the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120. Thereby, the adapter 120 can be floated in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 110.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 .Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of the fixing structure 100 along the cutting plane line B-B' according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, there is a gap between the fixed end XE of the elastic member 112 and the adapter 120. In some embodiments, when the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed seat 110, there is a distance D3 between the fixed end XE of the elastic member 112 and the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120. Thereby, the elastic member 112 can compensate for the displacement caused by the connector 130 driving the adapter 120 through the clamping portion 113 and the above-mentioned gap. Figure 7
[0056] In some embodiments, the distance D3 is about 0.5 mm. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the size of the distance D3.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 8 . Figure 8 A cross-sectional view of the fixing structure 100 along the cutting plane line C-C' according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 Figure 8 More detailedly shows the state where a plurality of clamping portions 113 abut against the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120. As Figure 8 shown, in this embodiment, when the adapter 120 connected to the connector 130 is located in the accommodation space AS, the clamping portion 113 abuts against the outer wall 120a of the adapter 120, so that the adapter 120 can be automatically aligned with the center of the fixed seat 110.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 9 . Figure 9 A front view of the fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, when the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed seat 110, there is a distance D4 between the fixed seat 110 and the connector 130.
[0059] In some embodiments, the distance D4 is about 0.5 mm. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the size of the distance D4.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 10 . Figure 10 A rear view of the fixing structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 10 shown, when the adapter 120 and the connector 130 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed seat 110, there is a distance D2 between the limiting portion 124 of the adapter 120 and the opening O2. More specifically, whether in the axial direction X or the axial direction Y, the limiting portion 124 is at a distance of the distance D2 from the edge of the opening O2.
[0061] Next, the fixing structure 200 of another embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 11 . Figure 11 It is an exploded view of the fixing structure 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, the fixing structure 200 includes a fixing base 210, an adapter 220, and a connector 230. The fixing base 210 includes side plates 210A, 210B, 210C, 210D, and a back plate 210E (shown in Figure 13 ). The side plates 210A, 210B, 210C, and 210D are spliced around. The side plates 210A, 210B, 210C, 210D, and the back plate 210E together define an accommodation space AS of the fixing base 210. The fixing base 210 includes a plurality of elastic members 212. The adapter 220 includes a plurality of buckle portions 222. The plurality of buckle portions 222 are provided on the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220. The fixing base 210 further has a plurality of openings O3. The buckle portions 222 are configured to be buckled with the openings O3 with each other. Figure 11 The structural configuration of the fixing structure 200 of Figure 1 is substantially similar to the structural configuration of the fixing structure 100 of
[0063] Due to Figure 11 the structural configuration of the fixing structure 200 of Figure 1 being substantially similar to the structural configuration of the fixing structure 100 of
[0064] Please refer to Figure 12 . Figure 12 It is a perspective view of the fixing structure 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 12 shown, in this embodiment, the adapter 220 and the connector 230 are mounted on the fixing base 210 along the above-mentioned mounting direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z. Specifically, the plurality of elastic members 212 all abut against the adapter 220, so that the adapter 220 connected to the connector 230 can float in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 210. Thereby, the connector 230 and the adapter 220 can reciprocate relative to the fixing base 210 in three axial directions (for example, axial direction X, axial direction Y, and axial direction Z).
[0065] Please refer to Figure 13 . Figure 13 It is another perspective view of the fixing structure 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. AsFigure 13 As shown, in the present embodiment, the fixing base 210 further has an opening O4. The opening O4 is located at one end of the fixing base 210 away from the connector 230. As Figure 13 shown, in some embodiments, the opening O4 is provided on the backplane 210E. As Figure 13 shown, when the adapter 220 connected to the connector 230 is installed in the accommodating space AS of the fixing base 210, a part of the adapter 220 is partially accommodated in the opening O4.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 14 . Figure 14 FIG. is a perspective sectional view of the fixing structure 200 along the cutting plane line D-D' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 Figure 14 It shows in more detail the structure of each element of the fixing base 210 and the adapter 220 and the connection relationship between the elements. As Figure 14 shown, in the present embodiment, the adapter 220 further includes a protrusion 223. The protrusion 223 is located at the end of the latching portion 222. In some embodiments, the protrusion 223 protrudes towards the fixing base 210. The protrusion 223 is configured to be partially accommodated in the opening O3. In some embodiments, the opening O3 has an inner wall 210s1. As Figure 14 shown, the protrusion 223 further has an inclined surface 223s and a contact surface 223a. The inclined surface 223s and the contact surface 223a are respectively located at opposite ends of the protrusion 223. The inclined surface 223s gradually approaches the fixing base 210 along the axial direction (for example, the axial direction Z). In some embodiments, the inclined surface 223s gradually approaches the fixing base 210 along the unloading direction UND. In some embodiments, the contact surface 223a is located at one end of the latching portion 222 close to the connector 230.
[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 14 . As Figure 14 shown, in some embodiments, the adapter 220 further includes a plurality of limiting portions 224. The limiting portions 224 are configured to be accommodated in the opening O4. The limiting portions 224 extend from the adapter 220 and protrude towards the fixing base 210. In some embodiments, the plurality of limiting portions 224 are located at the four corners of the opening O4. In some embodiments, the limiting portions 224 protrude towards the backplane 210E of the fixing base 210. In some embodiments, the limiting portions 224 are located at one end of the adapter 220 away from the connector 230. In some embodiments, the opening O4 has an inner wall 210s2. In some embodiments, when the adapter 220 is installed in the accommodating space AS of the fixing base 210, the plurality of limiting portions 224 are within the range of the inner wall 210s2 of the opening O4.
[0068] In a usage scenario, when the connector 230 and the adapter 220 are installed onto the fixing base 210 along the axial direction (e.g., the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the inclined surface 223s of the bump 223 is interfered by the side plates 210A and 210B of the fixing base 210, causing the snap portion 222 to undergo temporary deformation. Since the inclined surface 223s of the bump 223 approaches the fixing base 210 along the unloading direction UND, even if the bump 223 is interfered by the side plates 210A and 210B when advancing towards the fixing base 210 along the installation direction ID, it can still smoothly continue to advance towards the fixing base 210. Then, when the connector 230 and the adapter 220 continue to advance along the above-mentioned axial direction (e.g., the installation direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the limiting portion 224 is received in the opening O4. At the same time, the elastic recovery of the snap portion 222 causes the bump 223 to be partially received in the opening O3. Thereby, the adapter 220 can be made not easily detached from the fixing base 210. On the contrary, when the connector 230 and the adapter 220 are unloaded from the fixing base 210 along the axial direction (e.g., the unloading direction UND parallel to the axial direction Z), the abutting surface 223a of the bump 223 is blocked by the opening O3 and abuts against the inner wall 210s1 of the opening O3. Thereby, the adapter 220 can be made not easily detached from the fixing base 210. If the user desires to indeed unload the adapter 220 and the connector 230 from the fixing base 210, the user can simultaneously press the bumps 223 on opposite sides at the opening O3 with fingers or through other tools, causing the snap portions 222 on opposite sides to undergo temporary deformation and making the bump 223 not temporarily received in the opening O3. Then, the user holds the adapter 220 and the connector 230 and unloads the adapter 220 and the connector 230 from the fixing base 210 along the unloading direction UND.
[0069] In some embodiments, the snap portions 222 are disposed on opposite sides of the adapter 220. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the number of the snap portions 222.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 15 . Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing structure 200 along the Figure 13 section line D-D' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 15 shown, in some embodiments, when the adapter 220 and the connector 230 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 210, there is a spacing D5 between the abutting surface 223a of the bump 223 and the inner wall 210s1 of the opening O3. There is a spacing D6 between the limiting portion 224 of the adapter 220 and the inner wall 210s2 of the opening O4.
[0071] In some embodiments, the spacing D5 is about 0.8 millimeters. In some embodiments, the spacing D6 is about 0.5 millimeters. However, the present disclosure is not intended to limit the sizes of the spacing D5 and the spacing D6.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 16 。 Figure 16 is a perspective sectional view of the fixing structure 200 along the Figure 13 section line E-E' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 16 shown, in the present embodiment, each elastic member 212 of the fixing base 210 has a fixed end XE and a free end FE. As Figure 16 shown, the free end FE of the elastic member 212 has a clamping portion 213. The clamping portion 213 is configured to abut against the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220. As Figure 16 shown, the clamping portion 213 further has an inclined surface 213s. The inclined surface 213s gradually approaches the adapter 220 along the direction from the fixed end XE to the free end FE. In some embodiments, the inclined surface 213s gradually approaches the fixing base 210 along the unloading direction UND.
[0073] In a usage scenario, when the connector 230 and the adapter 220 are mounted to the fixing base 210 along the axial direction (e.g., the mounting direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the inclined surface 213s of the clamping portion 213 is interfered by the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220, causing the elastic member 212 to be temporarily deformed. Since the inclined surface 213s of the clamping portion 213 approaches the fixing base 210 along the unloading direction UND, even if the clamping portion 213 is interfered by the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220 when advancing towards the fixing base 210 along the mounting direction ID, it can still smoothly continue to advance towards the fixing base 210. Then, when the connector 230 and the adapter 220 continue to advance along the above axial direction (e.g., the mounting direction ID parallel to the axial direction Z), the elastic recovery of the elastic member 212 causes the plurality of clamping portions 213 to simultaneously abut against the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220. Thereby, the adapter 220 can be floated in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 210.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 17 。 Figure 17 is a sectional view of the fixing structure 200 along the Figure 13 section line E-E' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 17As shown, in the present embodiment, there is a gap between the fixed end XE of the elastic member 212 and the adapter 220. In some embodiments, when the adapter 220 and the connector 230 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed seat 210, there is a distance D7 between the fixed end XE of the elastic member 212 and the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220. Thereby, the elastic member 212 can compensate for the displacement caused by the connector 230 driving the adapter 220 through the clamping portion 213 and the above-mentioned gap.
[0075] In some embodiments, the distance D7 is about 0.5 mm. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the size of the distance D7.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 18 。 Figure 18 is a sectional view of the fixing structure 200 along the cutting plane line F-F' according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 of the fixing structure 200. Figure 18 More specifically, it shows the state where a plurality of clamping portions 213 abut against the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220. As Figure 18 shown, in the present embodiment, when the adapter 220 connected to the connector 230 is located in the accommodation space AS, the clamping portion 213 abuts against the outer wall 220a of the adapter 220, so that the adapter 220 can be automatically aligned with the center of the fixed seat 210.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 19 。 Figure 19 is a front view of the fixing structure 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 19 shown, in the present embodiment, when the adapter 220 and the connector 230 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixed seat 210, there is a distance D8 between the fixed seat 210 and the connector 230.
[0078] In some embodiments, the distance D8 is about 0.5 mm. However, the present disclosure does not intend to limit the size of the distance D8.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 20 。 Figure 20 is a rear view of the fixing structure 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 20 shown, in the present embodiment, the adapter 220 further has a wire routing opening RH. In some embodiments, the wire routing opening RH of the adapter 220 communicates with the opening O4. When the female end (not shown) of the battery module is coupled to the connector 230, the above-mentioned wire passes through the hole of the connector 230 and extends out of the fixed seat 210 through the wire routing opening RH. As Figure 20As shown, when the adapter 220 and the connector 230 are installed in the accommodation space AS of the fixing base 210, there is a distance D6 between the limiting portion 224 of the adapter 220 and the opening O4. More specifically, regardless of whether it is in the axial direction X or the axial direction Y, the limiting portion 224 is at a distance of D6 from the edge of the opening O4.
[0080] From the above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, it can be clearly seen that in the fixing structure of the present disclosure, since the fixing base includes a plurality of elastic members, when the adapter connected to the connector is located in the accommodation space, the plurality of elastic members can abut against the adapter, so that the adapter can be automatically aligned with the center of the fixing base, and there is a gap between the adapter and the fixing base. In the fixing structure of the present disclosure, since the adapter includes a buckling portion and the fixing base has a first opening corresponding to the buckling portion, when the adapter connected to the connector is located in the accommodation space, the bump at the end of the buckling portion is partially received in the first opening, so that the adapter is not easily detached from the fixing base. The fixing structure of the present disclosure allows the adapter and the connector to float in the accommodation space, thereby avoiding wear between the connector and the fixing base.
[0081] Although the present disclosure has been disclosed as above in embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure shall be subject to that defined by the appended claims.
