Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of extended reality device technology, and in particular to a housing, a battery housing assembly, and an extended reality suit. Background Technology
[0002] In practical applications of Extended Reality (XR) devices, battery life is one of the core factors limiting user experience. These devices often need to support complex functions such as high-definition display, real-time interaction, and spatial positioning, resulting in high power consumption. However, due to strict limitations on the size and weight of the device, the capacity of the built-in battery is insufficient to meet the needs of prolonged immersive use. Therefore, equipping XR devices with a replaceable external battery has become the mainstream solution for extending usage time.
[0003] In related technologies, the battery housing includes a second housing and a first housing, both made of plastic. The second and first housings are assembled using a snap-fit structure. Because the housing needs to have a certain sealing effect, the second and first housings tend to fit together tightly, making it inconvenient for users to apply force to disassemble them. On the other hand, due to limitations in the material and usage time of the snap-fit structure, the snap-fit structure inevitably suffers from structural deformation, leading to a decrease in the fastening effect and a reduction in the protection of the battery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a housing for accommodating batteries that power extended reality devices.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the receiving box includes a first housing and a second housing, the first housing and the second housing being slidably fitted together. The first housing is provided with a first fastening member, and the second housing is provided with a second fastening member. The first fastening member and the second fastening member are slidably fastened together. The receiving box also includes a locking assembly and a disassembly wall hole. The locking assembly is located within the receiving cavity. The locking assembly includes a first mating member, a second mating member, and a locking member. The first mating member and the second mating member are movably disposed in one of the first housing and the second housing, and the locking member is disposed in the other of the first housing and the second housing. The disassembly wall hole and the first mating member are both located in the first housing or the second housing, and the disassembly wall hole is provided corresponding to the first mating member. The first mating member and the second mating member are in abutting fit, and the second mating member is in a limiting fit with the locking member.
[0006] The first mating part has a limiting notch and a blocking part, and the second mating part has a limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion is offset from the limiting notch to abut against the blocking part.
[0007] When the first mating member moves, the limiting notch of the first mating member can align with the limiting protrusion to provide a clearance stroke for the second mating member, and the second mating member can move along the clearance stroke to disengage from the locking member.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second mating member includes a first mating portion and a second mating portion;
[0009] The locking member has a first locking hook, and the first mating part has a second locking hook, with the first locking hook and the second locking hook engaging in a limiting fit.
[0010] The second mating part has a limiting protrusion, and the first mating part has a limiting notch and a blocking part. The limiting protrusion and the limiting notch are offset to abut against the blocking part.
[0011] When the second mating part moves toward the first mating member, the limiting protrusion can be inserted into the limiting notch, and the second locking hook of the first mating part disengages from the first locking hook of the locking member.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving box is further provided with a pushing member, which and the locking member are located together on the first housing or the second housing;
[0013] The pusher is provided with a first pusher surface, and the first mating part or the second mating part is provided with a second pusher surface adapted to the first pusher surface;
[0014] When the first housing moves in the same direction as the first mating member, the first pushing surface can abut against the second pushing surface, so that the limiting protrusion can disengage from the limiting notch.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving box further includes a reset component, which is located together with the first mating member and the second mating member in the first housing or the second housing;
[0016] The reset assembly includes a first reset member and a second reset member. The first reset member is connected to the first mating member and is configured to apply a motion reset force to the first mating member.
[0017] The second reset member is connected to the second mating member and is configured to apply a force toward the first mating member to the second mating member.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving box further includes a first fixing part and a second fixing part, wherein the first fixing part, the second fixing part and the reset component are located together in the first housing or the second housing; the first fixing part is disposed corresponding to the first mating member, and the second fixing part is disposed corresponding to the second mating member;
[0019] The first reset member is connected to the first fixing part, and the second reset member is connected to the second fixing part.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member includes a fixed section and a movable locking section. The fixed section is fixedly connected to the first housing or the second housing. The movable locking section has a rotational stroke relative to the fixed section and is configured to limit the engagement with the second mating member.
[0021] When the first housing moves toward the first mating member on the second housing, the movable locking segment can rotate away from the second mating member along the rotational stroke.
[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the movable locking segment is made of an elastic material; or,
[0023] The movable locking segment is rotatably connected to the fixed segment. The receiving box is provided with a third reset member, which is connected to the movable locking segment and configured to apply a force to the movable locking segment toward the second mating member.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving box further includes a light guide post, which is inserted into the disassembly wall hole, and a portion of the structure of the light guide post exposes the receiving cavity.
[0025] The light guide post is configured to drive the first mating component to move.
[0026] The present invention also proposes a battery housing assembly, the battery housing assembly including a battery and the aforementioned housing box, wherein the battery is disposed in the housing box.
[0027] The present invention also proposes an extended reality kit, the extended reality kit including a display extension device and the aforementioned battery housing assembly, the battery being configured to power the display extension device; or,
[0028] The extended reality kit includes a display extension device and the aforementioned housing, which is configured to house a battery that powers the display extension device.
[0029] In this technical solution, the user only needs to apply force to the first mating part to provide space for the second mating part to move, and then complete the disassembly by sliding the first housing. This forms a continuous process of "applying force to the first mating part to make it move - the second mating part moves away from the locking part - sliding the first housing to release the sliding fastener", which significantly reduces the difficulty of disassembly. It is especially suitable for the usage scenario of XR devices where the external battery needs to be replaced frequently, and improves the user's operating efficiency.
[0030] Simultaneously, a dual constraint mechanism of "first fastening component - second fastening component" and "locking component - second mating component" is proposed. In the assembled state, the two mating relationships work simultaneously, forming multiple safeguards: even if a single mating structure undergoes slight deformation due to long-term use, the other constraint can still maintain the basic fastening state, significantly reducing the risk of fastening failure caused by structural deformation, enhancing the fixing effect on the built-in battery, and improving the protection of the battery;
[0031] The housing simplifies the disassembly process and enhances the stability of the fastening mechanism, ensuring that users can quickly and reliably replace batteries. This reduces interruptions caused by inconvenient battery replacement, guarantees the continuous operation of extended reality devices, and indirectly optimizes the user's immersive experience.

[0053] Extended Reality (XR) is a general term encompassing technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Its core principle is to use computer technology to integrate virtual information with the real environment, providing users with an immersive or augmented interactive experience. Virtual Reality (VR) creates a completely virtual three-dimensional environment through devices such as head-mounted displays, covering the user's visual and auditory senses to deliver a strong sense of immersion; it is commonly used in games, virtual training, and virtual social interaction. Augmented Reality (AR) overlays virtual information onto the real environment, allowing users to see both real-world scenes and virtual content simultaneously; it is commonly found in AR glasses and AR navigation systems, and is applied in navigation, education, and retail. Mixed Reality (MR) combines the features of AR and VR, allowing virtual objects to interact with the real environment, resulting in a stronger sense of realism and interactivity; it is frequently used in professional scenarios such as medicine and industrial design.
[0054] High-performance XR devices (especially VR all-in-one devices and powerful AR glasses) typically have high power consumption and limited built-in battery life. To extend usage time and avoid frequent charging interruptions to the experience, an external housing 100 is needed to accommodate additional extended batteries.
[0055] The proposed housing 100 includes a first housing 10 and a second housing 20, which are slidably fitted together. The first housing 10 is provided with a first fastening member 11, and the second housing 20 is provided with a second fastening member 21. The first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 are slidably fastened together. The housing 100 also includes a locking component 30 and a disassembly wall hole 20a. The locking component 30 is located within the housing cavity. The locking component 30 includes a first mating member 31, a second mating member 32, and a locking member 33. The first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are movably disposed on the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. One of the two components, the locking member 33 is provided in the other of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, the disassembly wall hole 20a and the first mating member 31 are located in the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, and the disassembly wall hole 20a is provided corresponding to the first mating member 31; the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 abut against each other, and the second mating member 32 and the locking member 33 are in a limiting fit; the first mating member 31 has a limiting notch 31a and a blocking part 31b, and the second mating member 32 has a limiting protrusion 3221, which is offset from the limiting notch 31a to abut against the blocking part 31b;
[0056] When the first mating member 31 moves, the limiting notch 31a of the first mating member 31 can align with the limiting protrusion 3221 to provide a clearance stroke for the second mating member 32. The second mating member 32 can move along the clearance stroke to disengage from the locking member 33.
[0057] Please see Figure 1 The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are the two main structural components constituting the receiving box 100. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 enclose a receiving cavity, and the locking component is located inside the receiving cavity to prevent the structure from being exposed to the external space, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the receiving box. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 achieve relative movement through sliding engagement to complete the opening and closing action of the receiving box 100. In one embodiment, the first housing 10 can serve as a cover, and the second housing 20 as a box body. The cover opens or closes relative to the box body by sliding, thereby realizing the placement and removal of the internal battery. In another embodiment, they can also be two halves of a structure, which open or close the receiving box 100 by sliding against each other, together enclosing a space for storing the battery. Regardless of the form adopted, the first fastening member 11 on the first housing 10 and the second fastening member 21 on the second housing 20 achieve initial connection and positioning during relative sliding through sliding engagement. The locking component 30 further ensures the stability of the two in the closed state. Therefore, the specific form of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 is not limited.
[0058] Taking the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 as an example, which are respectively a cover and a box, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are disposed on the box body, and the locking member 33 is disposed on the cover body. Specifically, in one embodiment, the bottom wall of the box body is provided with a first guide member and a second guide member. The first guide member and the second guide member each have at least one guide rail. The guide rail is a certain distance away from the bottom wall of the box body. The first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 have guide grooves adapted to the guide rails. The guide rails and guide grooves are inserted and engaged so that the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 can move in a directional manner on the corresponding guide member. In another embodiment, the bottom wall of the box body has a first guide member. The first guide member is located in the first guide groove, and the second guide member is located in the second guide groove. The guide rail or the first guide groove of the first guide member can be extended along the length direction of the box body, and the guide rail or the second guide groove of the second guide member can be extended along the width direction of the box body. Thus, the first mating member 31 has a travel along the length direction of the box body, and the second mating member 32 has a travel along the width direction of the box body. Of course, the extension directions of the guide rails of the first guide member and the second guide member can also form other non-90-degree angles, which are not limited here.
[0059] In the above-mentioned technical solutions, the first mating component 31 can be movably inserted into the box wall of the box body. Thus, a part of the first mating component 31 is exposed in the receiving cavity 100b, and the other part extends into the receiving cavity 100b to be inserted and engaged with the first guide component or the first guide groove and other guiding structures. The user can directly press the first mating component 31 exposed in the receiving cavity 100b to drive the first mating component 31 to move. In another embodiment, the first mating component 31 is hidden and is entirely located in the receiving cavity 100b. A disassembly wall hole 20a is opened on the box wall of the box body at the position corresponding to the first mating component 31. The user can use a jack or other structure to insert into the disassembly wall hole 20a to drive the first mating component 31 to move.
[0060] The entire structure of the second mating member 32 is located within the receiving cavity 100b. The end face of the second mating member 32 facing the first mating member 31 abuts against the first mating part 321. Simultaneously, the second mating member 32 and the locking member 33 of the cover form a limiting fit through a barb structure. When the receiving box 100 is in the assembled state, there is a dual constraint relationship between the box body and the cover: a first-level fastening constraint formed by the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21, and a second-level locking constraint formed by the locking member 33 and the second mating member 32. To clarify, the concepts of the Z-axis, Y-axis, and X-axis in space are introduced here. The Z-axis is the height direction of the receiving box 100, the Y-axis is the length direction of the receiving box 100, and the X-axis is the width direction of the receiving box 100. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2The length direction of the container 100 is defined as the first direction, the width direction of the container 100 as the second direction, and the height direction of the container 100 as the third direction. All embodiments of the present invention can use the three directions described when directional relationships are involved. When the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 are fastened, it means that the box body and the cover body are in a closed relationship. At this time, the box body can constrain the downward movement degree of the cover body along the third direction. The first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 can constrain the upward movement degree of the cover body along the third direction, constrain a unidirectional movement degree of the cover body along the first direction, and a bidirectional movement degree of the cover body along the second direction through a sliding fit. At the same time, the second fitting member 32 and the locking member 33 of the cover body can constrain the other reverse movement degree of the cover body along the first direction. That is, at this time, there is no movement margin between the cover body and the box body, thereby realizing the locking between the cover body and the box body. Of course, when the cover body and the box body are fastened, there is naturally no rotational degree of freedom.
[0061] When a user needs to remove the battery from the housing 100, a force is first applied to the first mating member 31 to make it move. When the first mating member 31 can no longer move, it provides a clearance stroke for the second mating member 32. This clearance stroke can be formed by opening a notch or slot in the first mating member 31 or by the first mating member 31 no longer being able to stop and constrain the second mating member 32. At this time, the second mating member 32 can move along the movement stroke through the action of elastic elements such as springs. When the second mating member 32 moves to the end of the movement stroke, the locking member 33 and the second mating member 32 are misaligned to a certain extent, and they are no longer in a limiting engagement. At this time, the cover has a degree of freedom of movement. The user can slide the cover along this degree of freedom. After moving a certain distance, the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 are released from their fastening constraints, so that the cover can be removed from the housing 100 and the battery that powers the extended reality device can be taken out.
[0062] In this technical solution, the user only needs to apply force to the first mating part 31 to provide space for the second mating part 32 to move, and then complete the disassembly by sliding the first housing 10. This forms a continuous process of "applying force to the first mating part 31 to make it move - the second mating part 32 moves away from the locking part 33 - sliding the first housing 10 to release the sliding fastener", which significantly reduces the difficulty of disassembly. It is especially suitable for the usage scenario where the external battery of XR device needs to be frequently replaced, and improves the user's operating efficiency.
[0063] Simultaneously, a dual constraint mechanism of "first fastening component 11 - second fastening component 21" and "locking component 33 - second mating component 32" is proposed. In the assembled state, the two mating relationships work simultaneously, forming multiple safeguards: even if a single mating structure undergoes slight deformation due to long-term use, the other constraint can still maintain a basic fastening state, significantly reducing the risk of fastening failure caused by structural deformation, enhancing the fixing effect on the built-in battery, and improving the protection of the battery;
[0064] The 100 housing simplifies the disassembly process and enhances the stability of the fastening mechanism, ensuring that users can quickly and reliably replace batteries. This reduces interruptions caused by inconvenient battery replacement, guarantees the continuous operation of extended reality devices, and indirectly optimizes the user's immersive experience.
[0065] Furthermore, the second mating member 32 includes a first mating portion 321 and a second mating portion 322; the locking member 33 has a first locking hook portion 33a, the first mating portion 321 has a second locking hook portion 321a, and the first locking hook portion 33a and the second locking hook portion 321a are mutually limitingly engaged; the second mating portion 322 has a limiting protrusion 3221, the first mating member 31 has a limiting notch groove 31a and a blocking portion 31b, the limiting protrusion 3221 and the limiting notch groove 31a are misaligned to abut against the blocking portion 31b; when the second mating portion 322 moves toward the first mating member 31, the limiting protrusion 3221 can be inserted into the limiting notch groove 31a, and the second locking hook portion 321a of the first mating portion 321 disengages from the first locking hook portion 33a of the locking member 33.
[0066] The first mating part 321 and the second mating part 322 are arranged along a third direction of the receiving box 100. They form an integral second mating component 32 through injection molding, snap-fitting, or other methods. Regardless of whether the second mating component 32 is located in the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, the first mating part 321 is located at the end of the second mating part 322 furthest from the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking the second mating part 32 located in the second housing 20 as an example, at this time, the first mating part 321 is located above the second mating part 322, and the second locking hook part 321a of the first mating part 321 is limited to the first locking hook part 33a of the locking part 33.
[0067] In one embodiment, a first mating part 321 and a second mating part 322 are disposed in the second housing 20. The movement direction of the first mating part 321 is a first direction, and the movement direction of the second mating part 322 is a second direction. A limiting notch 31a and a blocking part 31b are arranged on the first mating part 321 along the second direction. The end face of the second mating part 322 facing the first mating member 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 3221. When the receiving box 100 is in the assembled state, the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating part 322 abuts against the blocking part 31b of the first mating member 31, and the second locking hook 321a of the first mating part 321 is engaged with the first locking hook 33a of the locking member 33. At this time, the second mating member 32 cannot move. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 When the assembly of the housing 100 needs to be released, the first mating part 31 moves. As the directional movement of the first mating part 31 ends, the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating part 322 aligns with the limiting notch 31a of the first mating part 31. The limiting notch 31a provides the clearance stroke required for the second mating part 322, or the second mating part 32, to unlock. Under the action of elastic elements such as springs and rubber plungers, the second mating part 322 moves along the clearance stroke, so that the limiting protrusion 3221 is inserted into the limiting notch 31a. At this time, the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 are fixedly constrained again. That is, the force exerted by the user on the first mating part 31 can make the limiting protrusion 3221 align. The limiting notch 31a can be removed without continuous force application. In this way, the user's action on the first mating part 31 and the action on the first housing 10 are time-separated and do not need to be applied simultaneously, thereby reducing the difficulty of one-handed operation. When the second mating part 322 completes the movement along the clearance stroke, the second locking hook 321a of the first mating part 321 disengages from the first locking hook 33a of the locking member 33. At this time, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are ready to be disassembled, that is, the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 can slide relative to each other. The user can release the fastening constraint between the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 by sliding either the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, thereby removing the battery.
[0068] In another embodiment, the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are disposed on the first housing 10, and the locking member 33 is disposed on the second housing 20. With the horizontal plane as the reference plane, the first housing 10 is located on the second housing 20 along a third direction. After the user applies a force to the first mating member 31 to release the constraint between the second mating member 32 and the locking member 33, the user can slide the first housing 10, thereby releasing the constraint between the first housing 10 and the second housing 20. Therefore, there is no restriction on the housing in which the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are located, as long as the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are located in one of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, and the locking member 33 is located in the other of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.
[0069] In order to release the insertion fit between the limiting protrusion 3221 and the limiting notch 31a, and to provide a reset basis for the automatic reset of the first mating part 31 and the second reset part 42, the receiving box 100 is also provided with a pusher 12, which is located on the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 together with the locking part 33; the pusher 12 is provided with a first push surface 12a, and the first mating part 321 or the second mating part 322 is provided with a second push surface 30a adapted to the first push surface 12a; when the first housing 10 moves in the same direction as the first mating part 31, the first push surface 12a can abut against the second push surface 30a, so that the limiting protrusion 3221 can disengage from the limiting notch 31a.
[0070] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the end of the pusher 12 has a first push surface 12a, and the first mating part 321 has a second push surface 30a. The first push surface 12a and the second push surface 30a are arranged at an inclined straight surface. The first push surface 12a can generate a force against the second push surface 30a in the opposite direction to the second mating part 32. Under this force, the second mating part 32 can move away from the first mating part 31, so that the limiting protrusion 3221 exits the limiting notch 31a. In another embodiment, the second mating part 322 has an abutting protrusion that extends toward the protrusion of the first mating part 321. The abutting protrusion is cut to form a second push surface 30a in the second mating part 322. Therefore, it is not limited whether the second push surface 30a is located in the first mating part 321 or the second mating part 322.
[0071] For detailed instructions on the exercise, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 , Figure 6The illustrated movement process is a schematic diagram of the process by which the receiving box 100 switches from the assembled state to the first unlocked state after the user applies a force to the first mating part 31. It can be seen that when the receiving box 100 is in the assembled state, the first pushing surface 12a and the second pushing surface 30a have a gap in both the first and second directions. When the user applies a force to the first mating part 31, the second pushing surface 30a can move along the second direction with the second mating part 32. The gap between the first pushing surface 12a and the second pushing surface 30a exists only in the first direction. At this time, please refer to... Figure 7 The limiting protrusion 3221 is inserted into the limiting notch 31a; please refer to the following section. Figure 8 , Figure 8 The illustrated movement process is a schematic diagram showing the process by which the receiving box 100 switches from a first unlocked state to a second unlocked state after the user slides the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 by a first stroke. When the user slides the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 by a first stroke, the first pushing surface 12a can move along the first direction with the pushing member 12. It can be seen that after the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 slides by a first stroke, the first pushing surface 12a of the pushing member 12 abuts against the second pushing surface 30a; please continue reading. Figure 9 , Figure 9 The illustrated motion process is a schematic diagram of the process by which the receiving box 100 switches from the second unlocked state to the final unlocked state after the user slides the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 by the second stroke. When the first pushing surface 12a abuts against the second pushing surface 30a, and the user continues to slide the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, the first pushing surface 12a can apply a force opposite to the second direction to the second pushing surface 30a. Under the action of this force, the second mating part 32 slides in the direction opposite to the second direction, so that the limiting protrusion 3221 disengages from the limiting notch 31a. The first mating part 31 loses the constraint of the second mating part 32, and under the action of elastic elements such as springs and rubber plungers, it can be reset so that when the user uses the receiving box 100 again, the user can apply a force to the first mating part 31. At this time, the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating part 322 abuts against the stop of the first mating part 31 again, thereby automatically realizing the reset of the second mating part 32.
[0072] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The housing 100 also includes a reset assembly 40, which is located in the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 together with the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32. The reset assembly 40 includes a first reset member 41 and a second reset member 42. The first reset member 41 is connected to the first mating member 31 and is configured to apply a motion reset force to the first mating member 31. The second reset member 42 is connected to the second mating member 32 and is configured to apply a force toward the first mating member 31 to the second mating member 32.
[0073] One end of the first reset member 41 is connected to the first mating member 31, and the other end is fixed to the guide or inner wall boss of the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. Optionally, the first reset member 41 adopts a structure such as a compression spring or elastic rubber. When the receiving box 100 is in the initial state, the first reset member 41 is in a natural state or a slightly compressed state. At this time, the first mating member 31 is not subjected to external force, and its blocking part 31b abuts against the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating member 32. The elastic potential energy of the first reset member 41 is not significantly released, and the initial position of the first mating member 31 is maintained only by a slight pre-tightening force. The second reset member 42 is connected at one end to the second mating member 32 and at the other end to the guide or inner wall boss of the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. Optionally, the first reset member 41 is a compression spring. In the initial state, the second reset member 42 is in a compressed state. Since the second mating member 32 and the first reset member 41 are in abutting fit, the second mating member 32 is limited by the first mating member 31 and cannot move toward the first mating member 31. At this time, the second reset member 42 stores elastic potential energy due to compression, forming a tendency to "continuously apply a pushing force toward the first mating member 31".
[0074] When the user drives the first mating part 31 to move, the first mating part 31 compresses the first reset part 41, allowing it to store more elastic potential energy. At this time, the limiting notch 31a of the first mating part 31 gradually aligns with the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating part 32, providing a clearance stroke for the second mating part 32. After the first mating part 31 completes the clearance, the second mating part 32 moves towards the first mating part 31 under the pushing force of the second reset part 42, and the limiting protrusion 3221 inserts into the limiting notch 31a. At the same time, the second mating part 32 disengages from the locking part 33, completing the unlocking.
[0075] When the user slides the first housing 10 or the second housing 20, the first pushing surface 12a of the pusher 12 presses the second pushing surface 30a of the second mating member 32, forcing the second mating member 32 to move away from the first mating member 31. The limiting protrusion 3221 disengages from the limiting notch 31a, and the second reset member 42 is compressed again. During this process, after the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating member 32 disengages from the limiting notch 31a, the first mating member 31 moves back to its initial position in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the first reset member 41. Its blocking part 31b abuts against the limiting protrusion 3221 of the second mating member 32 again, automatically forming an abutting fit between the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32.
[0076] Furthermore, the housing 100 also includes a first fixing part 22 and a second fixing part 23. The first fixing part 22, the second fixing part 23 and the reset assembly 40 are located together in the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. The first fixing part 22 is provided corresponding to the first mating member 31, and the second fixing part 23 is provided corresponding to the second mating member 32. The first reset member 41 is connected to the first fixing part 22, and the second reset member 42 is connected to the second fixing part 23.
[0077] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first fixing part 22 is set according to the movement trajectory of the first mating part 31, and is usually an integrally formed protrusion, buckle, or rib structure with mounting holes on the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. For example, if the first mating part 31 moves along the first direction, the first fixing part 22 can be located at the end of its movement path, that is, away from the end where the user applies force, corresponding to the tail end of the first mating part 31, providing a stable fixing point for the first reset part 41; the second fixing part 23 is set according to the movement trajectory of the second mating part 32, and also adopts a protrusion, inner wall groove, or protrusion structure with hooks, and its position corresponds to the second mating part 32, used to fix one end of the second reset part 42. For example, when the second mating part 32 moves along the second direction, the second fixing part 23 can be located at its end away from the first mating part 31. The first fixing part 22 and the second fixing part 23 provide a stable working foundation for the reset assembly 40 through precise positioning and rigid support, further ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the reset action of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32.
[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member 33 includes a fixed section 331 and a movable locking section 332. The fixed section 331 is fixedly connected to the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. The movable locking section 332 has a rotational stroke relative to the fixed section 331 and is configured to limit the engagement with the second mating member 32.
[0079] When the first housing 10 moves along the first direction toward the position of the first mating member 31 on the second housing 20, the movable locking section 332 can rotate away from the second mating member 32 along the rotation stroke.
[0080] Please see Figure 10The fixed section 331 is fixedly connected to the first housing 10. The movable locking section 332 is located on the side of the fixed section 331 facing the pusher 12 and extends toward the pusher 12. At the same time, the movable locking section 332 has a certain distance from the housing arm of the first housing 10 to avoid the first housing 10 from interfering with the rotation of the movable locking section 332. The end of the movable locking section 332 away from the fixed section 331 has a barb structure for limiting the engagement with the second mating member 32. At the same time, the movable locking section 332 has a rotational stroke relative to the fixed section 331. The movable locking section 332 rotates along the rotational stroke and can move closer to or away from the second mating member 32.
[0081] Please see Figure 5 The second mating part 32 has a pressing rotating surface 321b, which is diagonally arranged with the second pushing surface 30a. The end of the movable locking section 332 is provided with a pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a. The pressing rotating surface 321b and the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a can be arranged as inclined surfaces or wavy surfaces, which is not limited here. When the user needs to reassemble the housing box 100, the first housing 10 is first placed on the second housing 20, and then the first housing 10 is slid. After sliding a certain distance, the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a and the pressing rotating surface 321b begin to abut. If the first housing 10 is continued to slide, the pressing rotating surface 321b will continue to abut. A force can be applied to the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a away from the second mating member 32. Under the action of this force, at least a portion of the movable locking section 332 rotates along the rotation stroke to move away from the second mating member 32, thereby preventing the second mating member 32 from blocking the movement of the first housing 10. When the first housing 10 moves to the maximum stroke, that is, when the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 are fully engaged, the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a of the movable locking section 332 disengages from the pressure-bearing rotating surface 321b. At this time, the movable locking section 332 can be reset in the opposite direction along the rotation stroke, thereby realizing the limiting engagement between the second mating member 32 and the locking member 33.
[0082] In one embodiment, the movable locking segment 332 is made of an elastic material, while the fixing member is made of a rigid material. The two are integrated into a single structure through a two-color injection molding process. The rigid fixing segment 331 can provide structural support for the movable locking segment 332, while ensuring the connection strength between the locking member 33 and the receiving box 100. The elastic movable locking segment 332 utilizes the elastic deformation capability of the material itself to achieve rotation and self-resetting functions without the need for an additional reset member.
[0083] In another embodiment, the movable locking segment 332 is rotatably connected to the fixed segment 331. The receiving box 100 is provided with a third reset member, which is connected to the movable locking segment 332 and configured to apply a force to the movable locking segment 332 toward the second mating member 32. Specifically, the movable locking segment 332 and the fixed segment 331 are separate structures, and they are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft or hinge. The fixed segment 331 is provided with a shaft hole, and the movable locking segment 332 is provided with a corresponding rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is inserted into the shaft hole to form a rotating pair. The receiving box 100 is provided with a third reset member, which can be a torsion spring, a compression spring, or other structures, without limitation. Taking a torsion spring as an example, one end of the third reset member is fixed to the protrusion of the fixed segment 331, and the other end is connected to the movable locking segment 332. In its natural state, it is in a pre-torsion state and always applies a torque to the movable locking segment 332 toward the second mating member 32. During the assembly process, the pressing rotating surface of the second mating member 32... When 321b contacts the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a of the movable locking section 332, a thrust is applied to the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a to "move away from the second mating member 32". The movable locking section 332 overcomes the torque of the third reset member and rotates around the axis. The barb structure of the movable locking section 332 moves away from the second mating member 32 to avoid sliding. At this time, the third reset member is further twisted to store elastic potential energy. When the first housing 10 slides to the maximum stroke, that is, the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21 are fully fastened, the pressure rotating surface 321b disengages from the pressure-bearing rotating surface 332a. The third reset member releases elastic potential energy to drive the movable locking section 332 to rotate in the opposite direction. Its barb structure re-fastens with the limiting structure of the second mating member 32 to complete the locking. Through the rotational connection between the movable locking section 332 and the fixed section 331 and the cooperation with the third reset member, the smooth avoidance during assembly and the stable fit after locking of the housing 100 are ensured, which is suitable for high-frequency opening and closing scenarios.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving box 100 is provided with a disassembly wall hole 20a. The disassembly wall hole 20a and the first mating member 31 are located together in the first housing 10 or the second housing 20. The disassembly wall hole 20a is provided corresponding to the first mating member 31. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second housing 20 has a disassembly wall hole 20a on its shell wall. The first mating part 31 is located in the second housing 20 and the two are correspondingly arranged. At this time, the first mating part 31 is completely located in the receiving box 100. The user can insert a needle-like tool (such as a jack) into the disassembly wall hole 20a. The end of the tool directly abuts against the force-bearing part of the first mating part 31 and applies force to drive the first mating part 31 to move along the guide structure, thereby triggering the subsequent unlocking process.
[0085] The first mating component 31 is hidden in the housing box 100, which improves the overall integrity and aesthetics of the housing box 100, while providing a reliable triggering method for unlocking operations and avoiding accidental touches.
[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 10 is a cover, the second housing 20 is a box, the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are located in the box, and the locking member 33 is located in the cover. The two are slidably engaged to open and close the receiving box 100. The first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 are both located inside the box, while the locking member 33 is located on the inner side of the cover. Specifically, the bottom wall or inner side wall of the box has a guide structure adapted to the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32. The first mating member 31 can move along a first direction, and the second mating member 32 can move along a second direction, maintaining abutment engagement. The inner side of the cover has a locking member 33 corresponding to the second mating member 32. When the receiving box 100 is closed, the locking member 33 and the second mating member 32 are engaged in a limiting engagement, which, combined with the sliding engagement of the first fastening member 11 and the second fastening member 21, forms a double constraint.
[0087] When the user needs to remove or insert the battery, the first mating part 31 on the drive body is moved along the guide structure by pressing the exposed part or by using a pin to drive it through the disassembly wall hole 20a, and provides a clearance stroke for the second mating part 32. The second mating part 32 moves along its own guide direction under the action of the second reset part 42, disengaging from the limiting engagement with the locking part 33 on the cover. At this time, the user can slide the cover to release the engagement between the first fastening part 11 and the second fastening part 21 and open the receiving box 100. When closing, during the sliding process of the cover, the locking part 33 and the second mating part 32 complete the avoidance and reset through the interaction of the rotating surfaces, and finally re-form the double constraint.
[0088] This "lid-box" layout design integrates the core components into the box, while the locking element 33 is correspondingly located on the lid. This not only ensures ease of operation but also enhances the stability of the closed state through structural distribution.
[0089] Furthermore, the housing also includes a light guide post, which is inserted into a disassembly wall hole 20a, and part of the structure of the light guide post exposes the housing cavity setting; wherein, the light guide post is configured to drive the first mating member 31 to move.
[0090] In one embodiment, the light guide post is connected to the first mating member 31 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods to form an abutment fit. In other embodiments, the end of the light guide post located in the receiving cavity is spaced apart from the first mating member 31, and an elastic element is provided between the light guide post and the first mating member 31 to achieve automatic return of the light guide post. The exposed end of the light guide post serves as a pressable hidden button. The user does not need to use an additional jack; they only need to press the exposed end of the light guide post directly, and its inner end will push against the first mating member 31, driving the first mating member 31 to move and complete the subsequent unlocking action. In this way, by setting the light guide post in the disassembly wall hole 20a, a press indication function is achieved, while also improving the aesthetics of the receiving box and solving the problem of inconvenient disassembly caused by the hidden first mating member 31.
[0091] The present invention also proposes a battery housing assembly, which includes a battery and the aforementioned housing 100, wherein the battery is disposed in the housing 100, and the specific structure of the housing 100 is as described in the above embodiment.
[0092] Because this component integrates all the technical solutions of the aforementioned housing box 100, it possesses all the corresponding beneficial effects: First, relying on the dual constraint mechanism of the housing box 100's "first fastening part 11 and second fastening part 21" and "locking part 33 and second mating part 32," it can provide a stable housing space for the battery, effectively preventing damage to the battery caused by shaking during carrying or use; Second, thanks to the simplified unlocking process of the housing box 100—the user can trigger the subsequent unlocking action by driving the first mating part 31, combined with the sliding opening and closing design, it greatly improves the efficiency of battery replacement, especially suitable for scenarios where XR devices need to frequently replace external batteries to maintain battery life, reducing usage interruptions caused by inconvenient battery replacement; Third, the reset component 40 of the housing box 100 works in conjunction with the locking structure to ensure that it can automatically return to a stable locked state after each opening and closing, reducing the risk of poor battery contact caused by component misalignment, and indirectly ensuring the stability of power supply to XR devices. In summary, this battery housing component achieves a balance between "robust protection" and "easy operation" through structural optimization, providing a reliable energy support solution for the continuous use of XR devices.
[0093] The present invention also proposes an extended reality kit, which includes a display extension device and the aforementioned battery housing assembly. The battery is configured to power the display extension device. Alternatively, the extended reality kit includes a display extension device and the aforementioned housing 100, which is configured to house the battery that powers the display extension device. Since this extended reality kit adopts all the technical solutions of all embodiments of the aforementioned housing 100, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
[0094] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
