Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of portable power supply equipment, in particular to a self-locking battery compartment structure. Background Art

[0002] A battery compartment is a structure specifically used to store batteries. It can be a box or shelf, or a facility within a room or machine room. The design of the battery compartment usually takes into account insulation to ensure safe isolation between the battery and the outer shell, as well as between the batteries. This structure is used in various electrical devices, such as laptops, remote controls, electric toys, etc., and can provide power support when needed. The battery compartment is usually located under the fuselage for easy battery replacement and maintenance, and is a key component for providing power.

[0003] Commonly used battery compartments are directly fixed on electronic devices. Portable battery compartments often use springs to control the position of the lock to achieve the fixation and removal of the battery compartment. The existing contact lock and removal of the battery compartment usually require two hands to complete, affecting the use and experience. When the battery compartment is hit by external force or falls, it is easy to pop out of the device, affecting the use of the device and the stability of the circuit.

[0004] Chinese patent CN220585390U discloses a self-locking and anti-drop battery compartment for removable batteries. It includes a mounting plate and a battery slot provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate, a battery fixing iron sheet is provided on the upper side of the battery slot away from the abutting edge, a clamping mechanism for preventing the battery from falling off is provided below the battery fixing iron sheet, and a tightening mechanism for facilitating battery replacement is provided below the mounting plate. The utility model provides a clamping column fixedly provided on the lower surface of both ends of the battery fixing iron sheet so as to be slidably connected to the inside of the clamping flat hole provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate, and cooperates with a spring sleeved on the outside of the guide pin so that the clamping column is located at one end of the clamping flat hole away from the assembly hole, thereby making the battery fixing iron sheet abut against one side of the battery, and the battery fixing iron sheet can securely bind the battery inside the battery slot, and when the battery fixing iron sheet is dragged, the clamping column can slide inside the clamping flat hole, so as to facilitate battery replacement.

[0005] The above patent realizes the binding of the battery, which effectively avoids the shutdown and restart of the device and avoids the loss of data due to sudden power failure of the device. The battery slot is directly opened on the installation plate. This method cannot be replaced when the battery slot is damaged or the accessories in the battery slot are corroded, which affects the overall service life of the electronic device.
