DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different features of the present invention. The components and arrangements described in the following specific examples are only used to simplify the present invention and are only used as examples, not to limit the present invention.
[0030] The present application embodiment provides a battery installation structure, referring to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the battery installation structure includes a middle frame 100 and a placeholder bracket 200. The middle frame 100 is used as an installation base, and the middle frame 100 is provided with a battery installation slot 110, and the battery installation slot 110 is used to install the battery 300. Figures 1 to 3When the size of the battery 300 matches the size of the battery installation slot 110, after the battery 300 is installed in the battery installation slot 110, the side wall of the battery 300 contacts and cooperates with the slot wall surface of the battery installation slot 110. Fig. 9 As shown, the battery installation slot 110 constrains the battery 300 and stably fixes the battery 300 in the battery installation slot 110. In the case where the size of the battery 300 is smaller than the size of the battery installation slot 110, after the battery 300 is installed in the battery installation slot 110, there will be a gap between the side wall of the battery 300 and the slot wall of the battery installation slot 110. When the position of the endoscope device changes, the battery 300 is easy to move in the battery installation slot 110, affecting the normal use of the battery 300.
[0031] The placeholder bracket 200 is configured to be installed in the battery installation slot 110 to occupy the space in the battery installation slot 110. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. After the placeholder bracket 200 is installed in the battery installation slot 110, the remaining space in the battery installation slot 110 is used to install the battery 300. Therefore, the placeholder bracket 200 can adjust the size of the installation space in the battery installation slot 110 for installing the battery 300, so that the size of the installation space is adapted to the size of the battery 300 to be installed. When the battery installation slot 110 is installed with the battery 300, the placeholder bracket 200 is pressed against the slot wall of the battery installation slot 110 and the side wall of the battery 300, referring to Figure 8 The placeholder bracket 200 occupies the remaining space between the battery 300 and the mounting slot, and is pressed against the battery 300 to fix the position of the battery 300, thereby preventing the battery 300 from being offset and improving the installation stability of the battery 300.
[0032] In addition, the size of the installation space for installing the battery 300 in the battery mounting slot 110 can be changed by replacing placeholders 200 of different sizes, so as to adapt to batteries 300 of different sizes. Placeholders 200 of multiple sizes can be prefabricated in advance according to the size of the battery mounting slot 110 and the commonly used battery 300 models. Under such a layout, in the production and manufacturing process of the endoscopic device, the same model of the middle frame 100 can be used all the time, and batteries 300 of different sizes can be stably installed in the battery mounting slot 110 only by replacing the placeholders 200. Compared with the prior art, the production line required for the middle frame 100 is reduced, and correspondingly, the production cost of the middle frame 100 can be reduced, and the production cost of the endoscope device can also be reduced, and only one production line is used to produce the same model of the middle frame 100, and the production process is simpler, which can simplify the production process of the endoscope device.
[0033] The placeholder bracket 200 may completely occupy the gap between the battery 300 and the battery mounting slot 110, or may only be pressed against the battery 300 and the slot wall of the battery mounting slot 110. Preferably, the placeholder bracket 200 completely occupies the gap between the battery 300 and the battery mounting slot 110, and the placeholder bracket 200 may also balance the weight distribution inside the endoscope device to avoid the situation where the center of gravity of the endoscope device is unstable.
[0034] For the same type of battery 300, different models of batteries 300 correspond to different capacities, and different capacities of the batteries 300 also mean different sizes of the batteries 300. After the capacity of the battery 300 changes, the length and width of the battery 300 usually change together. Therefore, corresponding to the size of the battery 300, in some embodiments of the present application, the placeholder bracket 200 includes a first placeholder portion 210 and a second placeholder portion 220 connected to each other, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the first place-occupying portion 210 and the second place-occupying portion 220 are vertically arranged, and the connecting portion of the first place-occupying portion 210 and the second place-occupying portion 220 is installed at one of the corners of the battery installation slot 110 .
[0035] The first place-occupying portion 210 and the second place-occupying portion 220 are respectively attached to two adjacent groove walls of the battery mounting groove 110, and the first place-occupying portion 210 and the second place-occupying portion 220 respectively limit the battery 300 in the length direction and the width direction of the battery 300, thereby improving the connection stability between the battery 300 and the middle frame 100. And because the place-occupying bracket 200 occupies one of the corners of the battery mounting groove 110, the battery 300 is restricted at the other corner of the battery mounting groove 110, and the two corners are diagonal to each other. The battery 300 is stably restricted at one of the corners, and even if the size of the battery 300 changes, the installation position of the battery 300 does not change much. Therefore, the connection structure between the battery 300 and other devices can be set close to the corner, and the battery 300 and other devices in the device are stably electrically connected. The connection between the battery 300 and other devices in the device can be through a wire connection, refer to Fig. 9 Alternatively, a metal sheet or spring may be provided in the battery installation slot 110, and when the battery 300 is installed, the battery 300 contacts the metal sheet or spring, thereby completing the connection between the battery 300 and the mainboard 400.
[0036] In addition to the battery installation slot 110 for installing the battery 300, the middle frame 100 is also provided with a mainboard installation slot 160, which is used to install the mainboard 400. The mainboard 400 and the battery 300 are arranged side by side on the middle frame 100. In addition, any one of the first placeholder 210 and the second placeholder 220 of the placeholder bracket 200 is installed at a position of the battery installation slot 110 away from the mainboard installation slot 160, so that the placeholder bracket 200 can occupy the corner position of the battery installation slot 110 away from the mainboard installation slot 160, so that the installation position of the battery 300 is as close to the mainboard 400 as possible, and the battery 300 is limited between the mainboard 400 and the placeholder bracket 200. It is more convenient to connect the mainboard 400 and the battery 300.
[0037] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 As shown, the motherboard 400 is surrounded by the battery 300, three side walls of the battery 300 are arranged close to the motherboard 400, and the remaining side wall is far away from the motherboard 400, and the first place-occupying portion 210 or the second place-occupying portion 220 is located at the side wall of the battery 300 away from the motherboard 400, so that the battery 300 and the motherboard 400 are as close as possible to facilitate connection between the two.
[0038] The placeholder bracket 200 needs to be tightly pressed against the battery 300 and the wall of the battery installation slot 110, and the precision requirement of the placeholder bracket 200 is relatively high, so as to avoid the situation that the force between the placeholder bracket 200 and the battery 300 is too large and the battery 300 is damaged, and to avoid the situation that the placeholder bracket 200 cannot be pressed against the wall of the battery installation slot 110, resulting in a movable gap in the battery 300. In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 7 The placeholder bracket 200 is a hollow structural member. The multiple hollow gaps on the placeholder bracket 200 can prevent the placeholder bracket 200 from shrinking during the manufacturing process, and can avoid dimensional errors caused by shrinkage.
[0039] The mounting structure also includes a connector. The middle frame 100 has a first through hole 131 connected to the battery mounting slot 110. The connector is inserted into the first through hole 131 and extends into the placeholder bracket 200 installed in the battery mounting slot 110 to fix the position of the placeholder bracket 200 and the middle frame 100, and further stabilize the position of the placeholder bracket 200. Due to the provision of the first through hole 131, the first through hole 131 will reduce the structural strength of the middle frame 100. In some preferred embodiments, the first through hole 131 is disposed adjacent to the corners of the battery mounting slot 110. Figure 3 and Figure 4The structural strength of the corners of the middle frame 100 is higher, and the first through holes 131 are arranged near the corners to avoid the situation where the structural strength of the middle frame 100 is too low, and to avoid the situation where the middle frame 100 is deformed or damaged.
[0040] The battery installation slot 110 may be formed by a concave portion of the structure of the middle frame 100 or may be formed by a convex portion of the structure of the middle frame 100. Figures 1 to 3 The middle frame 100 includes a frame body 120, a convex portion 130 is provided on the surface of the frame body 120, the convex portion 130 encloses and forms a battery installation groove 110, and a first through hole 131 is provided on the convex portion 130. The convex portion 130 is provided, which is concave relative to the middle frame 100, and can reduce the material weight of the middle frame 100 and reduce the cost of the middle frame 100. The convex portion 130 can be a complete annular structure, or a ring structure formed by enclosing a plurality of convexities.
[0041] The battery mounting slot 110 is formed by enclosing the convex portion 130. The structural strength of the convex portion 130 is lower than that of the concave middle frame 100. When the placeholder bracket 200 is installed at one of the corners of the battery mounting slot 110 and the battery 300 is installed at another corner of the battery mounting slot 110, the placeholder bracket 200 is fixed to the middle frame 100 to limit the installation space of the battery 300. Then, the assembler presses the battery 300 into the installation space. The structural strength of the convex portion 130 is lower, and the convex portion 130 can be adaptively deformed so that the battery 300 can be smoothly installed in the battery mounting slot 110, thereby reducing or avoiding the risk of damage to the battery 300 due to excessive squeezing force between the battery 300 and the placeholder bracket 200 during installation.
[0042] The convex portion 130 is further provided with a notch 132, which is communicated with the first through hole 131, and the notch 132 penetrates the convex portion 130 and the portion of the frame body 120 correspondingly connected to the convex portion 130 in a direction away from the notch of the battery mounting groove 110, Figures 3 to 6 The middle frame 100 is manufactured by using a mold, and a notch 132 is provided to penetrate the frame body 120 . When the mold corresponding to the middle frame 100 is demoulded, the mold can be quickly and smoothly pulled out from the first through hole 131 and the notch 132 .
[0043] Since the convex portion 130 is provided with a notch 132, the notch 132 is connected to the first through hole 131, and the notch 132 cannot support the connecting member passing through the first through hole 131, the first through hole 131 is easy to shake in the first through hole 131, and the shaking will affect the connection stability between the connecting member and the placeholder bracket 200. In this regard, in some embodiments of the present application, a limiting member 140 is provided on the surface of the convex portion 130 away from the battery installation slot 110, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting member 140 covers the notch 132 on the protrusion 130, and the limiting member 140 abuts against the connecting member passed through the first through hole 131 to support and position the connecting member, and limit the connecting member within the range of the first through hole 131 to avoid shaking or deviation of the connecting member, thereby ensuring that the connecting member is firmly connected to the placeholder bracket 200.
[0044] Further preferably, the stopper 140 is connected to the convex part 130 on both sides of the notch 132. After the convex part 130 is provided with the notch 132, the notch 132 will cause the structural strength of the convex part 130 to be reduced. By connecting the stopper 140 to the convex part 130 on both sides of the notch 132, the structural strength of the convex part 130 is improved, and the convex part 130 on both sides of the notch 132 is prevented from structural deformation.
[0045] The connecting member is fixed between the protrusion 130 and the placeholder bracket 200. When the placeholder has a tendency to move relative to the middle frame 100, the connecting member is pulled by the two and pressed against the hole wall of the first through hole 131. The hole wall of the first through hole 131 limits the connecting member. When the hole wall of the first through hole 131 is subjected to the pressure of the connecting member for a long time, the hole wall of the first through hole 131 is prone to deformation. In some preferred embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the protrusion 130 facing away from the battery mounting groove 110 is connected to a reinforcement portion 150 , which is arranged around the first through hole 131 to enhance the structural strength of the hole wall of the first through hole 131 and reduce the risk of deformation of the hole wall of the first through hole 131 .
[0046] The reinforcing portion 150 and the limiting member 140 are both located on the surface of the protrusion 130 away from the battery mounting groove 110 . The reinforcing portion 150 and the limiting member 140 can be fixed to each other and connected to support each other, thereby further improving the structural strength of the protrusion 130 around the first through hole 131 and the notch 132 .
[0047] When the battery 300 of the endoscope device needs to be replaced, the battery 300 is generally removed first, and then the placeholder bracket 200 is removed. In some embodiments, the frame body 120 has an operation hole 121 connected to the battery installation slot 110, and a part of the operation hole 121 is located outside the battery installation slot 110, and a part of the operation hole 121 is located inside the battery installation slot 110. Figure 3 As shown, the convex portion 130 corresponding to the operating hole 121 is provided with an operating notch 133 , and the operating notch 133 is communicated with the operating hole 121 to form an accommodating space for accommodating the operator's finger.
[0048] The operator's finger is inserted into the operation hole 121 outside the battery installation slot 110, and the finger is bent to the bottom of the battery installation slot 110. The finger is used to contact the battery 300, and the battery 300 can be removed from the battery installation slot 110. The operation notch 133 is connected to the operation hole 121, which makes it easier for the operator's finger to apply force to the bottom surface and side wall of the battery 300 at the same time, making it easier to remove the battery 300 from the battery installation slot 110. Figure 3 As shown, the operation notch 133 runs through the entire protrusion 130 . In other embodiments, the operation notch 133 may be only disposed at the lower half of the protrusion 130 close to the frame body 120 .
[0049] When the placeholder bracket 200 includes a first placeholder portion 210 and a second placeholder portion 220 connected to each other, the connection portion between the first placeholder portion 210 and the second placeholder portion 220 is arranged as far away from the operating hole 121 as possible to prevent the placeholder bracket 200 from covering the operating hole 121 and affecting the normal cooperation between the operating hole 121 and the battery 300.
[0050] The embodiment of the present application further provides an endoscope device, including the battery installation structure provided by any of the above embodiments. The endoscope device can be an integrated device, a display screen or a host, or other related electronic devices involved in the use of the endoscope.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
