DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The directional nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., are generally represented by Figure 1 The relative relationship of the orientation shown in the figure is used as the basis, and these orientation terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationship between structures, not to describe absolute orientation. When the product is placed in different postures, the orientation may change, for example, "up" and "down" may be interchangeable.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meanings as those generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Some technical terms appearing in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

[0046] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a rotatable and foldable battery, including a first battery 3 and a second battery 4. Exemplarily, the battery is applied to a foldable electronic device, which may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a car computer, a display, an e-reader, a wearable device, etc., and the foldable electronic device has a folded state and an unfolded state, and the foldable electronic device can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the first battery 3 includes a first shell 31 and a first buckle 32 connected to the first shell 31 .

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the second battery 4 includes a second shell 41 , a pusher 43 and a second buckle 42 , and the pusher 43 and the second buckle 42 are respectively connected to the second shell 41 .

[0050] The battery has an unfolded state and a folded state. The second buckle 42 is connected with the first buckle 32 in the unfolded state. The pusher 43 is configured to push the first buckle 32 during the process of switching the battery from the unfolded state to the folded state so as to separate the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42.

[0051] Exemplarily, the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are steel-shell batteries, which have the advantages of being more durable, safer, and having a longer service life than the soft-pack batteries commonly used in electronic devices.

[0052] The first buckle 32 can be fixed to the first shell 31 by welding, bonding, threaded fastener connection, etc., and the second buckle 42 and the second shell 41 are connected in the same way.

[0053] Specifically, in the folded state, the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are stacked in parallel along the thickness direction or at a certain angle, for example Figure 6 As shown, the first shell 31 and the second shell 41 are stacked in parallel along the thickness direction; in the unfolded state, as shown Figure 4 As shown, the first shell 31 and the second shell 41 are arranged side by side in the same layer.

[0054] For example, in the unfolded state, the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are arranged and distributed along the width direction thereof. Figure 1 As shown, the up-down direction is the length direction of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, and the left-right direction is the width direction of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4. Figure 4 The up-down direction in is the thickness direction of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 .

[0055] In the unfolded state of the foldable electronic device, the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are connected through the cooperation between the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42. Compared with the design in the prior art in which the two batteries are independently placed on the two folding sides, the space occupied by the rotating shaft is saved, and the distance between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 is reduced, which is conducive to expanding the size of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, making full use of the storage space of the foldable electronic device, and helping to increase the capacity of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4.

[0056] During the process of switching the battery from the unfolded state to the folded state, Figure 5 As shown, the pusher 43 can push the first buckle 32 to separate the first buckle 32 from the second buckle 42, thereby disconnecting the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, and ensuring that the foldable electronic device can be folded smoothly when the battery is installed in the foldable electronic device.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42 are connected in a mating manner by plugging, hooking, elastic interference connection, or the like.

[0058] The rotatable and foldable battery provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected to the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 in the unfolded state by providing the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42, which is conducive to ensuring that the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are firmly connected; by providing the pushing member 43, when the battery is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the pushing member 43 pushes the first buckle 32 to separate it from the second buckle 42, thereby releasing the connection between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, so that the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 can be stacked, thereby adapting to the state change of the foldable electronic device.

[0059] In a further embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the push member 43 includes a mounting portion 431 and a pushing portion 432. The mounting portion 431 is fixed to the side wall surface of the second housing 41 where the second buckle 42 is located, and the pushing portion 432 is convexly arranged on the mounting portion 431. In the unfolded state, the pushing portion 432 abuts against one end of the first buckle 32. It can be understood that the mounting portion 431 is directly or indirectly fixed to the side wall surface of the second housing 41 where the second buckle 42 is located.

[0060] Specifically, the pusher 43 and the second buckle 42 are installed on the same surface of the second shell 41, and the mounting portion 431 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the side wall of the second shell 41 by welding, bonding, key connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0061] For example, the push portion 432 and the mounting portion 431 are integrally formed, which not only has high production efficiency, but also makes the push member 43 have good strength. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting portion 431 is cylindrical and is disposed on the edge of the second shell 41 , and the mounting portion 431 extends along the length direction of the second shell 41 .

[0062] Since the pushing portion 432 abuts against one end of the first buckle 32 in the unfolded state, when the user folds the foldable electronic device, the pushing portion 432 can generate a thrust on the end of the first buckle 32 during the process of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 switching from the unfolded state to the folded state, so that the first buckle 32 together with the first shell 31 is pushed by the pushing portion 432, thereby separating the first buckle 32 from the second buckle 42.

[0063] In a further embodiment, the included angle between the pushing portion 432 and the side wall surface is an acute angle.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting portion 431 is arranged at the bottom of the side wall surface, the pushing portion 432 is inclined in the direction away from the side wall surface, and the angle between the extension direction of the pushing portion 432 and the side wall surface is less than 90°, so that the pushing portion 432 can abut against the end of the first buckle 32 in the unfolded state, and the pushing portion 432 can be separated from the end of the first buckle 32 by the relative rotation of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the first clip 32 includes a first fixed portion 321 and a first connecting portion 322 that are connected to each other. The first fixed portion 321 is installed on the first shell body 31. The first connecting portion 322 is connected to the first end of the first fixed portion 321 and is bent relative to the first fixed portion 321. The first connecting portion 322 is used to cooperate with the second clip 42. In the unfolded state, the second end of the first fixed portion 321 abuts against the pushing portion 432.

[0066] Specifically, the first fixing portion 321 is directly or indirectly mounted on the surface of the first housing 31 by welding, bonding, key connection, thread connection, etc.

[0067] Exemplarily, the first end and the second end of the first fixing portion 321 are two ends of the first fixing portion 321 in the thickness direction of the first shell 31. Figure 5 As shown, during the process of switching the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 from the unfolded state to the folded state, the pushing portion 432 pushes the second end of the first fixing portion 321, so that the first connecting portion 322 at the first end of the first fixing portion 321 is separated from the second buckle 42, thereby separating the first buckle 32 from the second buckle 42.

[0068] The angle between the first connecting portion 322 and the first fixing portion 321 may be an acute angle or a right angle, for example Figure 4 As shown, the first fixing portion 321 is attached to the surface of the first shell 31 , and the first connecting portion 322 is perpendicular to the first fixing portion 321 .

[0069] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the second buckle 42 includes a second fixing portion 421 and a second connecting portion 422 connected to each other. The second fixing portion 421 is installed on the side wall surface where the second buckle 42 is located. The second connecting portion 422 is connected to the second fixing portion 421 and bent relative to the second fixing portion 421. The first connecting portion 322 is provided with a first folded edge 323 at one end away from the first fixing portion 321. The first folded edge 323 is used to hook with the second connecting portion 422 so that the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42 are matched and connected.

[0070] The first folded edge 323 and the first fixing portion 321 are arranged at an angle so that the first folded edge 323 can hook the second connection portion 422 to achieve the matching connection of the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42, thereby preventing the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 from moving away from or separating from each other along the arrangement direction (for example, the width direction of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4) in the unfolded state. Exemplarily, the end of the second connection portion 422 away from the second shell 41 is provided with a structure such as a sphere, a cone, a cuboid, a groove, etc. suitable for being hooked by the first folded edge 323.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, a second folded edge 423 is provided at one end of the second connecting portion 422 away from the second fixing portion 421 . In the unfolded state, the second folded edge 423 extends between the first folded edge 323 and the first fixing portion 321 to be hooked and matched with the first folded edge 323 .

[0072] Specifically, the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 are arranged at an angle so that the second folded edge 423 can be hooked with the first folded edge 323. Figure 4As shown, the first folded edge 323 extends between the second folded edge 423 and the second fixing portion 421, and abuts against a side surface of the second folded edge 423 close to the second fixing portion 421; the second folded edge 423 extends between the first folded edge 323 and the first fixing portion 321, and abuts against a side surface of the first folded edge 323 close to the first fixing portion 321, thereby realizing the mating connection between the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42.

[0073] The angle between the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 and the angle between the first folded edge 323 and the first connecting portion 322 may be the same or different. For example, the angle between the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 and the angle between the first folded edge 323 and the first connecting portion 322 are both acute angles or both right angles; or, one of the angle between the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 and the angle between the first folded edge 323 and the first connecting portion 322 is an acute angle, and the other is a right angle, and so on.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, in the unfolded state, the first folded edge 323 and the second folded edge 423 extend in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the angle between the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 is the same as the angle between the first folded edge 323 and the first connecting portion 322, the extension lines of the first folded edge 323 and the second folded edge 423 are parallel, and the extension direction of the first folded edge 323 is opposite to the extension direction of the second folded edge 423. It can be understood that the extension direction of the first folded edge 323 is the direction of the first folded edge 323 from one end close to the first connecting portion 322 to one end away from the first connecting portion 322, and the extension direction of the second folded edge 423 is the direction of the second folded edge 423 from one end close to the second connecting portion 422 to one end away from the second connecting portion 422.

[0075] Furthermore, the first folded edge 323 is vertically disposed at the end of the first connecting portion 322, and the second folded edge 423 is vertically disposed at the end of the second connecting portion 422. Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the first folded edge 323 and the first connecting portion 322 is 90°, and the angle between the second folded edge 423 and the second connecting portion 422 is also 90°, which facilitates the first folded edge 323 and the second folded edge 423 to fit together and to separate.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first housing 31 is provided with a first mounting seat 33 for mounting the first buckle 32, and the second housing 41 is provided with a second mounting seat 44 for mounting the second buckle 42 and the pusher 43. A first convex edge 331 is convexly provided on at least part of the edge of the first mounting seat 33, and a second convex edge 441 is convexly provided on at least part of the edge of the second mounting seat 44. The first convex edge 331 and the second convex edge 441 are configured to be able to dock in the unfolded state to define an accommodating cavity 332 for accommodating the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 42. The accommodating cavity 332 can reserve a space for the foldable electronic device to be rotated and folded.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first mounting seat 33 and the second mounting seat 44 are provided on one side surface of the first shell 31 and the second shell 41 by injection molding, which is convenient for rapid molding and has good connection strength. Optionally, the first mounting seat 33 and the second mounting seat 44 are rotationally connected, or the first mounting seat 33 and the second mounting seat 44 are independent and separated from each other.

[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first flange 331 is arranged on three edges of the first mounting seat 33, and the second flange 441 is arranged on three edges of the second mounting seat 44. The positions of the first flange 331 and the second flange 441 correspond to each other, avoiding the edge where the pusher 43 is located.

[0079] In the unfolded state, the first convex edge 331 and the second convex edge 441 abut against each other, and a receiving cavity 332 is defined between the first mounting seat 33 and the second mounting seat 44, in which the first clip 32, the second clip 42 and the pushing portion 432 are received, to prevent the relative positions of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 from changing when the state of the foldable electronic device changes, resulting in the first clip 32 and the second clip 42 being unable to connect smoothly.

[0080] At the same time, if Figure 4 As shown, in the unfolded state, since the first convex edge 331 and the second convex edge 441 are in contact, the upper and lower surfaces of the first shell 31 and the second shell 41 are flush respectively, and the connection between the first clip 32 and the second clip 42 makes the unfolded state of the foldable electronic device more stable, and the relative position deviation between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 will not easily occur.

[0081] The battery further includes a first battery protection board 5 and a second battery protection board 6. The first battery protection board 5 is disposed on one side of the first battery 3 and is electrically connected to the first battery 3, the second battery protection board 6 is disposed on one side of the second battery 4 and is electrically connected to the second battery 4, and the first battery protection board 5 and the second battery protection board 6 are electrically connected to the corresponding mainboards respectively.

[0082] Specifically, the foldable electronic device includes a first folding part 1, a second folding part 2, a first main board and a second main board, the first main board is arranged on the first folding part 1, the second main board is arranged on the second folding part 2, the first folding part 1 and the second folding part 2 are rotatably connected, the first main board and the second main board are electrically connected, the first battery protection board 5 is electrically connected to the first main board, and the second battery protection board 6 is electrically connected to the second main board.

[0083] The battery protection board is an integrated circuit board that protects the battery. Its working principle is to monitor the battery's voltage, current, temperature and other parameters to control the battery's charge and discharge process in real time to ensure that the battery is in a safe working state. For example, when the battery voltage is too high or too low, the battery protection board will automatically cut off the battery's charge and discharge to prevent safety accidents caused by overcharging or over-discharging of the battery; for another example, when the battery temperature is too high, the battery protection board will also automatically cut off the battery's charge and discharge to prevent safety accidents caused by overheating of the battery.

[0084] like Figure 7 As shown, in the unfolded state, the first battery protection plate 5 and the second battery protection plate 6 are arranged side by side in the same layer, and are respectively arranged on one side of the length direction of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4. The first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are both provided with positive and negative poles, the first battery protection plate 5 is electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the first battery 3, and the second battery protection plate 6 is electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the second battery 4, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first battery protection plate 5 and the first battery 3, and the electrical connection between the second battery protection plate 6 and the second battery 4.

[0085] Specifically, the first battery protection board 5 and the second battery protection board 6 are respectively provided with a board-to-board connector, the first battery protection board 5 is electrically connected to the first main board through the board-to-board connector, and the second battery protection board 6 is electrically connected to the second main board through the board-to-board connector. The first main board and the second main board are electrically connected through an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application also includes a foldable electronic device, including a first foldable portion 1, a second foldable portion 2, and a rotatable and foldable battery provided in any of the above embodiments. The foldable electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a car computer, a display, an e-reader, a wearable device, etc.

[0087] like Figure 8As shown, the first folding portion 1 is provided with a first accommodation space 11 for accommodating the first battery 3, the second folding portion 2 is provided with a second accommodation space 21 for accommodating the second battery 4, and the second folding portion 2 is rotatably connected to the first folding portion 1, so that the foldable electronic device can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. Exemplarily, the first accommodation space 11 is connected to the second accommodation space 11.

[0088] By accommodating the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 in the first accommodation space 11 and the second accommodation space 21 respectively, the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 can cooperate with the folding and unfolding of the foldable electronic device.

[0089] The foldable electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application has a first snap 32 and a second snap 42 provided on the battery, so that the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 are connected in the unfolded state, which helps to reduce the distance between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, and is beneficial to increasing the capacity of the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, thereby improving the battery life of the foldable electronic device; because the battery is provided with a pushing member, during the process of the foldable electronic device switching from the unfolded state to the folded state, the pushing member 43 pushes the first snap 32 to separate it from the second snap 42, thereby releasing the connection between the first battery 3 and the second battery 4, so that the first battery 3 and the second battery 4 can be stacked, thereby adapting to the state change of the foldable electronic device.

[0090] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly defined.
