For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 100 includes a housing 20, a display screen 40, a circuit board 60, and a back cover 80. The display screen 40 is disposed on the front of the housing 20, the circuit board 60 is disposed on the back of the housing 20, and the back cover 80 covers the circuit board 60 and is connected to the back of the housing 20. The housing 20 includes a battery assembly 21 and a middle frame 27. The side of the middle frame 27 is provided with a receiving groove 270, and the battery assembly 21 is detachably locked in the receiving groove 270. The battery assembly 21 includes a battery 22 and a mounting mechanism 23. The battery 22 is housed in the receiving groove 270, and the display screen 40 and the battery 22 are electrically connected to the circuit board 60, respectively.

[0041] like Figures 5-8 As shown, the mounting mechanism 23 includes a connector 231 and a locking fastener 232. The connector 231 is connected to one side of the battery 22, and the locking fastener 232 is movably connected to the connector 231. The locking fastener 232 and the middle frame 27 are in a locked or unlocked state. Specifically, when the locking fastener 232 is locked to the middle frame 27, the battery 22 and the mounting mechanism 23 are locked together to the middle frame 27 in a locked state. When the locking fastener 232 is released from the middle frame 27, the battery 22 and the mounting mechanism 23 are locked together to the middle frame 27 in an unlocked state. Therefore, the battery assembly 21 is detachably locked to the middle frame 27.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 231 is a connecting strip. One side of the connecting strip is connected to the side of the battery 22. The two ends of the connecting strip opposite to the battery 22 are respectively provided with locking fasteners 232. The two locking fasteners 232 are movably disposed on the connector 231. When the locking fasteners 232 are locked to the middle frame 27, the two locking fasteners 232 are locked to the middle frame 27 respectively. When the locking fasteners 232 are unlocked from the middle frame 27, the two locking fasteners 232 are unlocked from the middle frame 27 respectively, so that the battery assembly 21 is detachably locked to the middle frame 27.

[0043] It is understood that the "front" refers to the side facing the same direction as the light-emitting surface of the display screen 40, and the "back" refers to the side facing away from the light-emitting surface of the display screen 40. The display screen 40 can be, but is not limited to, flexible display screens, touch screens, touch displays, and other displays with corresponding functions. The electronic device 100 can be a mobile phone, tablet, or computer, or an electronic product equipped with a battery assembly 21. Speakers, earpieces, cameras, or buttons can also be placed within the middle frame 27. In the description of this embodiment, "connection" includes both direct and indirect connections. For example, a connection between A and B includes a direct connection between A and B or a connection through a third element C or more other elements. Connections also include integrated connections and non-integrated connections. An integrated connection means that A and B are formed and connected as a single unit, while a non-integrated connection means that A and B are not formed and connected as a single unit.

[0044] The battery 22 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention is detachably locked to the middle frame 27 by the mounting mechanism 23. When the user needs to replace the battery 22, the user operates the locking fastener 232 to unlock it from the middle frame 27, then takes out the battery assembly 21, replaces the battery 22 on the battery assembly 21 with a new battery, and then locks the battery assembly 21 into the receiving slot 270 of the middle frame 27. This makes it convenient to replace the battery 22 of the electronic device 100 by oneself, so that the electronic device 100 can maintain a longer battery life and improve the user experience of the electronic device.

One side of the connector 231 is connected to the side of the battery 22, and the other side of the connector 231 facing away from the battery 22 is provided with guide grooves 2311 at opposite ends. Each guide groove 2311 extends along the length of the connector 231. The length direction of 11 is parallel to the length direction of connector 231. One end of each guide groove 2311 opposite to the other guide groove 2311 passes through the end face of connector 231, that is, the two guide grooves 2311 pass through the opposite end faces of connector 231 respectively. The two locking fasteners 232 are slidably accommodated in the two guide grooves 2311 respectively. The two locking fasteners 232 can extend out of the two guide grooves 2311 respectively to lock to the middle frame 27, or the two locking fasteners 232 can retract into the two guide grooves 2311 respectively to unlock to the middle frame 27. Optionally, the connector 231 and the battery 22 are connected by a fixing hole and a fixing block. The fixing hole is located on one of the connector 231 and the battery 22, and the fixing block is located on the other. In this embodiment, the side of the connector 231 facing the battery 22 has a fixing block 2313, and the side of the battery 22 facing the connector 231 has a fixing hole 222. The fixing block 2313 can be positioned in the fixing hole 222 so that the connector 231 is fixedly connected to the battery 22. Specifically, the sides of the connector 231 facing away from the guide groove 2311 have fixing blocks 2313 at opposite ends. The fixing blocks 2313 are used to fix to the battery 22. The two fixing blocks 2313 are respectively opposite to the two guide grooves 2311. The sides of the battery 22 facing the connector 231 have fixing holes 222 at opposite ends. The two fixing blocks 2313 can be respectively engaged in the two fixing holes 222 so that the connector 231 is connected to the battery 22.

When the locking fastener 232 is locked to the middle frame 27, the first elastic element 234 is clamped by the battery 22 and the middle frame 27 and deforms elastically. When the locking fastener 232 is unlocked from the middle frame 27, the first elastic element 234 elastically resets and pushes the battery 22 to slide in the receiving groove 270, so that the locking fastener 232 disengages from the receiving groove 270, making it convenient for the user to pull out the battery assembly 21 from the middle frame 27. In this embodiment, four first elastic elements 234 are provided between the side of the battery 22 facing away from the connector 231 and the middle frame 27, and the four first elastic elements 234 are arranged at intervals along the length direction parallel to the connector 231.

The second elastic element 235 is used to drive the locking member 232 to lock itself onto the middle frame 27. In this embodiment, there are two second elastic elements 235. Each locking member 232 and the connecting member 231 has a second elastic element 235. The two second elastic elements 235 are respectively housed in the two guide grooves 2311 of the connecting member 231. The two second elastic elements 235 can elastically push the two locking members 232 to lock themselves onto the middle frame 27.
