Detailed Implementation

[0017] In the following description, the terminology used in the specification will be briefly described, and embodiments will be described in detail. All terms used herein, including descriptive or technical terms, should be interpreted as having the meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. However, these terms may have different meanings depending on the intent of one of ordinary skill in the art, precedent, or the emergence of new technologies.

[0018] Furthermore, some terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, the meaning of the chosen terms will be described in detail in the detailed description of the embodiments. Therefore, the terms used herein must be defined based on their meanings in conjunction with the description throughout the specification. Additionally, when a component “comprises” or “contains” an element, the component may also include other elements without excluding them, unless there is a specific description to the contrary. In the following description, terms such as “component” and “module” indicate a unit for performing at least one function or operation, wherein units and modules may be implemented as hardware or software or by combining hardware and software.

[0019] Embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the embodiments to those skilled in the art. In the following description, well-known functions or structures are not described in detail, as they would obscure the embodiments with unnecessary detail, and throughout the specification, the same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar elements.

[0020] This invention discloses an electronic device, including a first housing and a second housing, wherein the interior of the first housing and the second housing forms a storage space, and a motherboard and a battery for powering the motherboard are disposed in the storage space. The motherboard and the battery are connected through a battery socket. The electronic device includes a first latch and a second latch that are detachably connected to each other. The first latch is fixedly connected to the second housing, and the second latch is connected to the battery socket. The first latch is configured to be able to be inserted into the second latch in a first direction, and when it moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction, it drives the battery socket to move so as to disconnect the connection between the motherboard and the battery.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the first direction is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second housing from the second housing toward the first housing. The second direction is opposite to the first direction and is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second housing from the first housing to the first housing. Of course, in other embodiments, the first direction may be parallel to the extending direction of the second housing. In this case, the second housing and the first housing are slidably connected to each other, the first direction is the direction in which the second housing slides in, and the second direction is the direction in which the second housing slides out. The second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0022] The battery connector is connected to the battery via a plurality of flexible connecting wires. These flexible connecting wires are configured to pull the first latch and the second latch apart when the battery connector is moved by the first latch. When the first latch moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction, it moves the battery connector to disconnect the connection between the motherboard and the battery. As the second latch (or the second housing) moves further away from the first housing, the flexible connecting wires tighten and apply tension to the battery connector, causing the first latch and the second latch to separate. The second latch and the battery connector remain together in the storage space and do not continue to move with the first latch.

[0023] The motherboard has a battery connector that mates with the battery socket, and the battery connector is fixed. The battery connector connected to the motherboard may include a plurality of parallel contact terminals, and the battery connector includes a plurality of latches that lock the corresponding contact terminals in place, as well as a fixing block positioned above the plurality of latches. The fixing block and the second latch are rotatably connected. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the battery connector connected to the battery may include a plurality of parallel contact terminals, and the battery connector connected to the motherboard may include a plurality of latches that lock the corresponding contact terminals in place.

[0024] The battery connector is provided with a first stop, which provides a predetermined resistance to the movement of the battery connector by the first latch. When the first latch moves toward the second latch to a predetermined position, the battery connector provides the second latch with the predetermined resistance. When the second latch moves from the predetermined position in a second direction, the predetermined resistance prevents the second latch from disengaging from the battery latch.

[0025] The rotating block has a first protrusion, and the fixing block has a first groove. The first groove and the first protrusion are configured such that when the first latch moves in a first direction, the first groove provides a first resistance to the first protrusion. When the second latch moves in a second direction, the first groove provides a second resistance to the first protrusion. The first resistance is greater than the second resistance. When the first latch moves in the first direction, pushing the second latch to rotate, the first groove blocks the first protrusion, preventing the second latch from continuing to rotate after it reaches a designated position. When the second latch moves in the second direction, pushing it to rotate in the opposite direction, the first groove provides a second resistance to the first protrusion. This second resistance can be the resistance that allows the first latch to move the battery connector, separating the motherboard and the battery.

[0026] The second latch includes a rotating surface with a substantially circular cross-section and a side surface disposed on the sidewall of the rotating surface, with a first protrusion disposed on the side surface. The battery socket may include a fixing block, at least a portion of the second latch is partially inserted into the fixing block, the first protrusion of the second latch is formed on the sidewall of the second latch, and a first groove of the fixing block is disposed on the inner wall corresponding to the sidewall of the second latch.

[0027] The second latch includes a rotating block and a notch for receiving at least a portion of the first latch. The notch includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is configured to receive a thrust from the first latch to rotate the rotating block, and the second sidewall is configured to receive a thrust from the first latch to rotate the rotating block in the opposite direction. When the first latch moves toward the second latch, the rotating block can rotate clockwise; when the first latch moves away from the second latch, the rotating block can rotate clockwise again. These two opposite actions result in opposite directions of rotation of the rotating block.

[0028] In this application, there can be multiple rotating blocks (second latches), and the rotation direction of each can be different. For example, in an embodiment where two rotating blocks are symmetrically arranged near the first latch, viewed from the same cross-section, when the first latch moves toward the second latch, the rotating block located to the left of the first latch rotates clockwise, while the rotating block located to the right of the first latch rotates counterclockwise. When the first latch moves away from the second latch, the rotating block located to the left of the first latch rotates counterclockwise, while the rotating block located to the right of the first latch rotates clockwise.

[0029] The structure and working principle of this application will be described below with reference to the preferred embodiments in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Appendix Figure 1 This is a partial exploded view of the motherboard and battery in a preferred embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. The electronic device includes a first housing and a second housing 1, which enclose a storage space. A battery 3 and a motherboard 2 connected to the battery 3 are disposed within the storage space. A battery socket is provided between the motherboard 2 and the battery 3. A second latch 5 is provided on the battery socket. A first latch 4 is provided on the second housing 1. The first latch 4 and the second latch 5 are configured to disconnect the motherboard 2 from the battery socket of the battery 3 when the second housing 1 is removed.

[0031] Appendix Figure 2This is an exploded view of the battery socket with a first and a second latch in a preferred embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. The battery socket includes a first battery socket connected to a battery 3 and a second battery socket disposed on the motherboard 2. To maintain the stability of the motherboard 2, the second battery socket disposed on the motherboard 2 is designed to be immovable. The second battery socket includes a plurality of parallel contact terminals 6, and the first battery socket includes a plurality of latches 7 that clamp the corresponding contact terminals and a fixing block 8 connected to the latches. It should be noted that, depending on the positional relationship, the fixing block 8 can be disposed at any position of the plurality of latches, such as the left, right, bottom, or top. The positional relationship of the fixing block 8 and the latches does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The fixing block 8 is provided with a rectangular groove into which at least a portion of the second latch 5 can be inserted. A portion of the second latch 5 is inserted into the fixing block 8, and the second latch 5 is configured to rotate along a fixed axis within the fixing block 8. The cross-section of the second latch 5 is substantially circular, and it is fixed to the fixing block 8 at its axis by a screw 11.

[0033] Appendix Figure 3 This is a top view of the battery socket in a preferred embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. The second battery socket is connected to a plurality of parallel wires. In the following figures, we use the term "attached wire". Figure 3 Structural description is provided using schematic diagrams of sections AA and BB. (Attached) Figure 4 The electronic device of the present invention is attached as a preferred embodiment. Figure 3 A cross-sectional view at point AA. The second battery 3 has spring tabs on both sides. When the first battery socket is inserted into the second battery socket, the left and right sides of the first battery socket can be blocked by the spring tabs on both sides of the second battery socket. The first latch 4 includes two symmetrically arranged hooks, and the second latch 5 also includes two, with each of the two second latches 5 corresponding to one of the two first latches 4. The fixing block 8 has a rectangular groove into which at least a portion of the second latch 5 can be inserted. A portion of the second latch 5 is inserted into the fixing block 8. The second latch 5 is configured to rotate along a fixed axis within the fixing block 8, and its cross-section is a circle with a notch.

[0034] See appendix Figure 5 The outer wall of the second buckle 5 includes a first protrusion 9 and a second protrusion 10. A first recess and a second recess are provided at the position where the fixing block 8 mates with the second buckle 5. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the second buckle 5 may have both a first and a second recess, and the fixing block 8 may have both a first protrusion 9 and a second protrusion 10. In other embodiments, the fixing block 8 may only have the first recess (or the first protrusion 9), and the second buckle 5 may only have the first protrusion 9 (or the first recess).

[0035] In embodiments of the present invention, the second buckle 5 comprises two. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 The working principle is explained below. The first groove and the first protrusion 9 are configured such that when the first latch 4 moves clockwise, the first groove provides a first resistance to the first protrusion 9. When the second latch 5 moves counterclockwise, the first groove provides a second resistance to the first protrusion 9. The first resistance is greater than the second resistance. When the first latch 4 moves in the first direction, it pushes the second latch 5 to rotate clockwise, and the first groove blocks the first protrusion 9, preventing the second latch 5 from continuing to rotate after the first latch 4 has reached a designated position. When the second latch 5 moves in the second direction, it pushes the second latch 5 to rotate counterclockwise, and the first groove provides a certain blockage to the first protrusion 9, i.e., a second resistance. The second resistance is a predetermined resistance that allows the first latch 4 to move the battery connector.

[0036] The second recess is configured to allow the second boss 10 to enter counterclockwise and to rotate out clockwise. When the first latch 4 moves in the second direction, it pushes the second latch 5 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second recess forms a barrier against the second boss 10, preventing the second latch 5 from continuing to rotate after the first latch 4 has disengaged. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, when the first latch 4 moves in the first direction, it pushes the second latch 5 to rotate clockwise, and the second recess forms a certain barrier against the second boss 10, i.e., a third resistance. The third resistance increases the tactile feedback during the installation of the second housing 1, allowing the user to know that the engagement has been successful.

[0037] The second latch 5 includes a notch approximately 1 / 4 the size of a circle. When the bottom cover is closed, the first latch 4 enters the position of this notch. The notch includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is configured to receive the pushing force of the first latch 4 to rotate the rotating block, and the second sidewall is configured to receive the pushing force of the first latch 4 to rotate the rotating block in the opposite direction. (See attached image) Figure 5 As shown, when the first latch 4 moves toward the second latch 5, the rotating block can rotate clockwise. When the first latch 4 moves away from the second latch 5, the rotating block can rotate counterclockwise. The two opposite actions make the rotating block rotate in opposite directions.

[0038] Appendix Figure 6 To be continued Figure 8This indicates the fixing status of the second latch 5 and the fixing block 8. The second latch 5 has a through hole at its axis, and the fixing block 8 has a corresponding first through hole and a second through hole at the corresponding position. The screw 11 is sequentially inserted into the first through hole of the fixing block 8, the through hole of the second latch 5, and the second through hole of the fixing block 8, allowing the second latch 5 to be rotatably fixed to the fixing block 8 along its axis. The portion of the screw 11 inserted into the first through hole is threaded, the portion inserted into the through hole of the second latch 5 is not threaded, and the portion inserted into the second through hole is also threaded.

[0039] Reference Appendix Figure 9 and attached Figure 10 In the non-fixed state, the first latch 4 is above the notch, and the second protrusion 10 is located in the second recess. As the latch continues to move downward, the first latch 4 moves downward along the notch, causing the second latch 5 to rotate. The second protrusion 10 rotates out of the second recess clockwise. The first protrusion 9 rotates clockwise. As the latch continues to move downward, the first protrusion 9 enters the first recess clockwise, and the first recess interferes with the first protrusion 9, preventing the first protrusion 910 from rotating further.

[0040] When the bottom cover is removed, the latch moves in the second direction, and the first boss 9 moves out of the first recess in a counterclockwise direction. The second boss 10 rotates counterclockwise and enters the second recess. The second recess interferes with the second boss 10, preventing the second boss 10 from rotating further and restoring it to its initial state.

[0041] The first recess includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The rotation of the first sidewall relative to the first boss 9 creates an interference amount 'a', and the rotation of the second sidewall relative to the first boss 9 creates an interference amount 'b'. Interference amount 'a' is less than interference amount 'b'. Interference amount 'a' is the interference of the first recess relative to the rotating-out side of the first boss 9, and interference amount 'b' is the interference of the first recess relative to the rotating-in side of the first boss 9. The rotating-in side and rotating-out side of the first boss 9 are respectively located on two corresponding sides of the first boss 9. When the first boss 9 rotates into the first recess, the rotating-in side of the first boss 9 enters the first recess first. When the first boss 9 rotates out of the first recess, the rotating-out side of the first boss 9 disengages from the first recess first.

[0042] Taking the second recess as an example, the second recess includes a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall. The rotation of the third sidewall relative to the second boss 10 creates an interference amount 'a', and the rotation of the fourth sidewall relative to the second boss 10 creates an interference amount 'b'. The interference amount 'a' is less than the interference amount 'b'. Interference amount 'a' is the interference amount of the second recess relative to the rotating-out side of the second boss 10, and interference amount 'b' is the interference amount of the second recess relative to the rotating-in side of the second boss 10. The rotating-in side and rotating-out side of the second boss 10 are respectively located on the two corresponding sides of the second boss 10. When the second boss 10 rotates into the second recess, the rotating-in side of the second boss 10 enters the second recess first. When the second boss 10 rotates out of the second recess, the rotating-out side of the second boss 10 disengages from the first recess first. Setting the interference amount 'a' provides a certain interference force to the latch. That is, a force greater than the interference amount 'a' is required to make the second boss 10 rotate out of the second recess. Of course, in other embodiments, the interference amounts of the first recess and the second recess can also be provided differently. For example, the second recess can form an interference quantity c with the rotation of the third sidewall relative to the second boss 10, and the fourth sidewall can form an interference quantity d with the second boss 10. The interference quantity c is less than the interference quantity d.

[0043] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 11 To be continued Figure 18 The working principle of this application is described in detail.
