Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for housing a battery, and more particularly to a battery mounting box for an easily removable battery. Background Technology

[0002] Most electronic products rely on batteries for power. Taking the battery mounting structure of a television or air conditioner remote control as an example, it is a long, narrow recess that houses the battery. The inner sides of the recess have electrodes at both ends that are electrically connected to the battery's electrodes, one of which is a spring electrode.

[0003] To ensure a secure fit within the recess, the recess is designed to be only slightly larger than the battery. This structure leaves virtually no gap between the recess and the battery, allowing users to easily reach in and remove it. Furthermore, to guarantee good battery contact, the spring electrodes typically have considerable compression, requiring force to press the battery against them during removal. All of these factors contribute to considerable inconvenience for users when handling the battery.

[0004] Therefore, if a battery mounting box can be invented that makes it easy to take out and install batteries, the above problems can be effectively improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a battery mounting box that allows for easy and effortless handling and installation of batteries.

The battery compartment sequentially comprises a first battery mounting slot, a component mounting slot, and a mounting plate. One end of the flip cover is pivotally mounted on the mounting plate, covering one side of the battery compartment, and a cam is provided near the end pivotally mounted on the mounting plate. The battery moving component is disposed in the component mounting slot, and one end of the battery moving component is pivotally mounted on the side wall of the component mounting slot. When the flip cover rotates relative to the battery compartment, the cam pushes the battery moving component to rotate relative to it.

[0007] The feature is that the inner wall of the component mounting groove is further provided with a first sliding groove, one end of the first sliding groove is provided with a first limiting hole, and the top of the first sliding groove and near the center is provided with a second limiting hole. The outer side of the battery moving part is further provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion, which are disposed in the first sliding groove and move within the first sliding groove.

[0009] The feature is that the flip cover is further provided with a hook, which is pivotally located at the other end of the component mounting slot. When the flip cover covers the battery compartment, the hook is engaged with the hook groove on the first battery mounting slot.

[0010] The feature is that the flip cover covering one side of the battery compartment is also provided with a battery fixing component, which is set corresponding to the first battery mounting slot.

[0011] The feature is that the flip cover is further provided with a slot adjacent to a cam. The battery moving part is pivotally mounted at one end of the component mounting slot and extends outward with a plug. When the flip cover leaves the battery compartment, the plug is inserted into the slot to restrict the position of the battery moving part.

[0012] The feature is that the inner sidewall of the battery compartment is further provided with a third sliding groove, and the outer sidewall of the battery moving part is further provided with a fourth protrusion near the top, which is embedded in the third sliding groove to move along the third sliding groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To facilitate understanding and implementation of the present invention by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] The battery mounting box of this embodiment can be electrically connected to an electronic device to provide power to the device. The battery mounting box is used to install batteries, and its structure allows for easy and effortless removal and installation of the batteries.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This section describes the structure of the battery mounting box 1. The battery mounting box 1 includes a battery compartment 10, a flip cover 20, and a battery moving component 30. In this embodiment, the battery compartment 10 has a first battery mounting groove 12, a component mounting groove 14, and a mounting plate 16 sequentially arranged along the X-axis. Please refer to [reference needed] in this embodiment. Figure 3 Part of the battery 2 is installed in the first battery mounting slot 12, while the rest of the battery 2 is housed in the battery moving part 30.

[0025] Please continue to participate. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first battery mounting groove 12 can be a recess that conforms to the shape of a battery. For example, the first battery mounting groove 12 can be a tubular recess conforming to the shape of a dry cell battery, a rectangular recess conforming to the shape of a lithium battery, or a semi-circular recess conforming to the shape of a button cell battery. The first battery mounting groove 12 is also provided with a hook groove 120, which is provided on the side wall of the first battery mounting groove 12, and this side wall is opposite to the component mounting groove 14. The other end of the first battery mounting groove 12 opposite to the hook groove 120 is also provided with an opening 122, which corresponds to the battery moving part 30.

[0026] The component mounting slot 14 is disposed adjacent to the first battery mounting slot 12, and is used to accommodate the battery moving part 30. The component mounting slot 14 is a groove conforming to the shape of the battery moving part 30. In this embodiment, the battery moving part 30 is a rectangular object, and the component mounting slot 14 is a corresponding rectangular groove. The inner sidewall of the first battery mounting slot 12 is also provided with a first sliding groove 140, a first limiting hole 142, and a second limiting hole 144. The first sliding groove 140 extends along the X-axis direction, the first limiting hole 142 is disposed at one end of the first sliding groove 140, and the second limiting hole 144 is disposed along the Z-axis direction at the top of the first sliding groove 140 and near the center of the first sliding groove 140. The first sliding groove 140, the first limiting hole 142, and the second limiting hole 144 are interconnected. In this embodiment, the first sliding groove 140, the first limiting hole 142, and the second limiting hole 144 with the same structure are respectively provided on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the component mounting slot 14.

[0027] Mounting plate 16 is provided with adjacent component mounting slots 14, and mounting plate 16 extends outward along the X-axis. Mounting plate 16 also has a second sliding groove 160 and a third limiting hole 162. The second sliding groove 160 extends along the X-axis, and the third limiting hole 162 is located at one end of the second sliding groove 160. The second sliding groove 160 and the third limiting hole 162 are interconnected. In this embodiment, two mounting plates 16 with the same structure are arranged correspondingly along the Y-axis and are parallel to each other. The Y-axis is perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0028] The inner wall of the battery compartment 10 is also provided with two third sliding grooves 18, which extend along the X-axis and are separated from each other. A component mounting groove 14 is located between the two third sliding grooves 18. The two third sliding grooves 18 are also disposed at the top of the first battery mounting groove 12 and the component mounting groove 14 along the Z-axis. In this embodiment, the two third sliding grooves 18 have the same structure and are disposed correspondingly to each other. The outer side of the battery compartment 10 is also provided with two fourth sliding grooves 19, which extend along the X-axis and are separated from each other. In this embodiment, the two fourth sliding grooves 19 have the same structure and are disposed on the corresponding two outer sides of the battery compartment 10. The Z-axis direction is perpendicular to both the Y-axis and the X-axis direction.

[0029] One end of the flip cover 20 is pivotally mounted on the mounting plate 16, and the flip cover 20 can cover the battery compartment 10. The flip cover 20 can also rotate perpendicular to the Y-axis. The flip cover 20 is provided with a third protrusion 21, a slot 22, a cam 23, a battery retainer 24, a hook 25, and a fifth protrusion 26.

[0030] The third protrusion 21 is disposed at one end of the flip cover 20. The flip cover 20 is pivotally mounted in the third limiting hole 162 through the third protrusion 21, and the third protrusion 21 can move from the third limiting hole 162 to the second sliding groove 160 for movement within the second sliding groove 160. The flip cover 20 can rotate relative to the battery compartment 10 perpendicular to the Y-axis direction with the third protrusion 21 as the pivot. In this embodiment, the two third protrusions 21 have the same structure, and the two third protrusions 21 are disposed on two corresponding sides of one end of the flip cover 20 along the Y-axis direction.

[0031] by Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example describes a scenario where the flip cover 20 is not covering the battery compartment 10. Along the Z-axis, the flip cover 20 covers one side of the battery compartment 10 and sequentially includes a slot 22, a cam 23, and a battery retainer 24. The slot 22 is located near the end pivotally mounted on the mounting plate 16. The cam 23 is located near the end pivotally mounted on the mounting plate 16 and adjacent to the slot 22. When the flip cover 20 is pivotally mounted on the battery compartment 10, the cam 23 can just contact the battery moving member 30 to assist in driving the battery moving member 30 to rotate.

[0032] The battery holder 24 is used to fix the position of the battery 2. When the flip cover 20 covers the battery compartment 10, the battery holder 24 corresponds to the position of the first battery mounting slot 12. The surface of the battery holder 24 has an arc corresponding to the shape of the battery 2. When the battery 2 is installed in the first battery mounting slot 12 and the battery moving part 30, the battery holder 24 can be used to fix the battery 2, and the arc conforms to the shape of the battery 2.

[0033] The latch 25 is pivotally mounted on the other end of the mounting plate 16 on the flip cover 20. When the flip cover 20 covers the battery compartment 10, the latch 25 engages with the hook groove 120 on the first battery mounting groove 12.

[0034] The fifth protrusion 26 is disposed on the outer edge of the flip cover 20. When the flip cover 20 covers the battery compartment 10, the fifth protrusion 26 can be embedded in the fourth sliding groove 19, so that the fifth protrusion 26 can move along the fourth sliding groove 19.

[0035] The battery moving part 30 is disposed in the component mounting groove 14, and one end of the battery moving part 30 is pivotally mounted to the side wall of the component mounting groove 14, so that the battery moving part 30 can rotate relative to the component mounting groove 14. The battery moving part 30 is provided with a first protrusion 31, a second protrusion 32, a fourth protrusion 33, a plug 34, and a second battery mounting groove 35.

[0036] The first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 are disposed adjacent to each other on the outer side of the battery moving member 30, and the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 are arranged along parallel lines. The battery moving member 30 is pivotally mounted on the side wall of the component mounting groove 14 through the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32. The battery moving member 30 can rotate relative to the battery compartment 10 in a direction perpendicular to the Y-axis with the first protrusion 31 as the pivot. The second protrusion 32 is used to limit the rotation angle of the battery moving member 30 relative to the battery compartment 10. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 are disposed in the first sliding groove 140 and can move in the first sliding groove 140. The first protrusion 31 can freely slide from the first sliding groove 140 to the first limiting hole 142. Because there is a fixed distance between the second protrusion 32 and the first protrusion 31, and the first limiting hole 142 and the second limiting hole 144 have the same fixed distance, when the first protrusion 31 moves to the first limiting hole 142, the second protrusion 32 moves to a position below the corresponding second limiting hole 144. At this time, if the battery moving member 30 flips up, the second protrusion 32 can be embedded in the second limiting hole 144. Simultaneously, the second limiting hole 144 also provides a limiting effect, such as preventing the battery moving member 30 from tilting at the angle of the battery compartment 10, thus preventing the battery moving member 30 from detaching from the battery compartment 10. In this embodiment, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 have the same structure and are disposed at corresponding positions on both outer sides of the battery moving member 30.

[0037] The plug 34 is pivotally mounted on one end of the battery moving part 30 in the component mounting slot 14, and extends outward from the battery moving part 30. When the flip cover 20 leaves the battery compartment 10, it drives the battery moving part 30 to rotate. At this time, the plug 34 can be inserted into the slot 22 to limit the position of the battery moving part 30, such as the angle at which the battery moving part 30 is tilted relative to the battery compartment 10.

[0038] The second battery mounting slot 35 is disposed on the battery moving part 30. One end of the second battery mounting slot 35 also has an opening 350. When the flip cover 20 covers the battery compartment 10, the opening 350 of the second battery mounting slot 35 can be correspondingly connected to the opening 122 of the first battery mounting slot 12 to cover and install the battery 2. In this embodiment, the shape of the second battery mounting slot 35 corresponds to that of the first battery mounting slot 12, forming an accommodating space that fits the entire battery to cover and install the battery 2. For example, when the battery is a dry cell battery, the second battery mounting slot 35 can be a tubular groove conforming to the shape of a dry cell battery, and the first battery mounting slot 12 is the same tubular groove. When the first battery mounting slot 12 and the second battery mounting slot 35 are connected, an accommodating space that fits the entire dry cell battery can be formed. When the battery is a lithium battery, the second battery mounting slot 35 can be a rectangular groove conforming to the shape of a lithium battery, and the first battery mounting slot 12 is also the same rectangular groove. When the first battery mounting slot 12 and the second battery mounting slot 35 are connected, an accommodating space that fits the entire lithium battery can be formed. When the battery is a button battery, the second battery mounting slot 35 can be a semi-circular groove that conforms to the shape of the button battery, and the first battery mounting slot 12 is the same semi-circular groove. When the first battery mounting slot 12 and the second battery mounting slot 35 are connected, they can form a circular mounting space that fits the entire button battery.

[0039] The fourth protrusion 33 is disposed on the outer wall of the battery moving member 30, near the top. When the battery moving member 30 is placed flat in the component mounting groove 14, the fourth protrusion 33 can be embedded in the third sliding groove 18 to move along the third sliding groove 18. In this embodiment, the fourth protrusion 33 is a second fourth protrusion 33 with the same structure, disposed at corresponding positions on the two opposite outer walls of the battery moving member 30.

[0040] The first battery mounting slot 12 relative to the side wall of the opening 122 and the second battery mounting slot 35 relative to the side wall of the opening 350 are respectively provided with at least two electrode plates 40. The at least two electrode plates 40 are electrically connected to the battery 2 and the electronic device to provide the power of the battery 2 to drive the electronic device.

[0041] After describing the structure of the battery mounting box 1 in this embodiment, the usage state will be described next. An embodiment in which the battery 2 is inserted into the battery mounting box 1 will be described. Please refer to... Figure 4 And in conjunction with reference Figure 2After the flip cover 20 is rotated perpendicular to the Y-axis to open relative to the battery compartment 10, the flip cover 20 drives the battery moving component 30 to rotate, causing the battery moving component 30 to tilt relative to the battery compartment 10. Then, the battery 2 is placed into the first battery mounting slot 12 and the second battery mounting slot 35. At this time, the longitudinal direction of the battery 2 is tilted relative to the X-axis. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the battery 2 is tilted relative to the longitudinal direction of the first battery mounting slot 12, and the longitudinal direction of the battery 2 is tilted relative to the longitudinal direction of the second battery mounting slot 35. When the flip cover 20 is opened, the insert 34 of the battery moving component 30 is inserted into the slot 22. The first protrusion 31 of the battery moving component 30 is located in the first limiting hole 142 of the battery compartment 10, and the second protrusion 32 of the battery moving component 30 is embedded in the second limiting hole 144 of the battery compartment 10. The second protrusion 32 provides the function of restricting the position of the battery moving component 30. The third protrusion 21 of the flip cover 20 is in the third limiting hole 162 of the mounting plate 16.

[0042] Next, please refer to Figure 5 And in conjunction with reference Figure 2 The flip cover 20 is pushed to rotate perpendicular to the Y-axis, covering the battery compartment 10. Simultaneously, the cam 23 presses against the battery moving part 30, causing it to rotate and be positioned parallel to the component mounting slot 14. When the flip cover 20 is placed on the battery compartment 10, the insert 34 disengages from the slot 22, and the second protrusion 32, originally embedded in the second limiting hole 144, moves into the first sliding groove 140. The fourth protrusion 33 of the battery moving part 30 also enters the third sliding groove 18. The fifth protrusion 26 on the flip cover 20 also engages with the third sliding groove 19 on the battery compartment 10. At this time, the longitudinal direction of the battery 2 is parallel to the X-axis. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the battery 2 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first battery mounting slot 12 and the longitudinal direction of the second battery mounting slot 35.

[0043] Next, please refer to Figure 6 And in conjunction with reference Figure 2 Push the flip cover 20 in the first direction D1 to move it relative to the battery compartment 10, so that the hook 25 on the flip cover 20 engages with the battery compartment 10. The first direction D1 can be parallel to the X-axis. At this time, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 of the battery moving member 30 will move along the first slide groove 140 of the component mounting groove 14 from the first direction D1. The third protrusion 21 of the flip cover 20 moves from the third limiting hole 162 along the first direction D1 to the second slide groove 160, and moves along the second slide groove 160 from the first direction D1. The fourth protrusion 33 on the battery moving member 30 also moves along the third slide groove 18 on the battery compartment 10 from the first direction D1. The fifth protrusion 26 on the flip cover 20 also moves along the fourth slide groove 19 on the battery compartment 10 from the first direction D1. It stops when the hook 25 on the flip cover 20 engages with the hook groove 120 on the first battery mounting groove 12.

[0044] To retrieve battery 2, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 7 The flip cover 20 is slid in the second direction D2, which is opposite to the first direction D1. As the flip cover 20 slides in the second direction D2, the hook 25 disengages from the hook groove 120. Simultaneously, the first protrusion 31 of the battery moving member 30 moves from the second direction D2 along the first sliding groove 140 of the component mounting groove 14 to the first limiting hole 142, and the second protrusion 32 moves from the second direction D2 along the first sliding groove 140 to below the second limiting hole 144. The third protrusion 21 of the flip cover 20 moves from the second sliding groove 160 along the second direction D2 to the third limiting hole 162. The fourth protrusion 33 of the battery moving member 30 also moves from the second direction D2 along the third sliding groove 18 on the battery compartment 10. The fifth protrusion 26 on the flip cover 20 also moves from the second direction D2 along the fourth sliding groove 19 on the battery compartment 10.

[0045] Next, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The flip cover 20 is rotated perpendicular to the Y-axis relative to the battery compartment 10, opening the flip cover 20 relative to the battery compartment 10. At this time, the cam 23 on the flip cover 20 can push the battery moving member 30 to rotate relative to it. Simultaneously, the insert 34 is inserted into the slot 22, and the second protrusion 32 is embedded in the second limiting hole 144. The insert 34 and the second protrusion 32 can limit the position of the battery moving member 30, for example, by tilting the battery moving member 30 at an angle relative to the battery compartment 10. At this time, the battery moving member 30 is pushed out of the battery compartment 10, causing the battery 2 to rotate relative to the battery compartment 10, and part of the battery 2 is disengaged from the first battery mounting slot 12 and / or the second battery mounting slot 35. In addition, one end of the battery 2 is separated from the electrode plate 40. Therefore, the user can easily remove the battery 2.

[0046] As described above, the present invention enables batteries to be easily and effortlessly removed from and installed from the battery mounting box.

[0047] In summary, this invention meets the requirements for an invention patent, and therefore a patent application is filed in accordance with the law. However, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the described embodiments. All equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the invention should be covered within the scope of the following patent application.
