[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-6 As shown, a battery pack that is easy to install is provided, including an upper shell 10, a lower shell 20 and a fixing assembly. A card slot 11 is provided on the upper shell 10. The lower shell 20 is arranged below the upper shell 10, and the lower shell 20 is snap-fitted and connected to the upper shell 10 to form a placement cavity. A battery cell module is arranged in the placement cavity. The fixing assembly includes a fixing platform 31 and two groups of card blocks 32. The fixing platform 31 is arranged in the upper shell 10 and is located above the placement cavity. The two groups of card blocks 32 are distributed on one end of the fixing platform 31. A protrusion 321 extending outward is provided at one end of the card block 32. The two groups of card blocks 32 are connected with an elastic member 33. Grooves for the protrusion 321 to be exposed are provided on both sides of the upper shell 10, and the grooves are located on the side walls of the card slot 11. A guide assembly for guiding the card block 32 is provided between the upper shell 10 and the fixing platform 31.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic member 33 includes a telescopic rod and a spring. The telescopic rod is disposed between the two groups of blocks 32. The spring is sleeved outside the telescopic rod and is located between the two groups of blocks 32. Under the action of the telescopic rod and the spring, the two groups of blocks 32 have a force to move away from each other, so that the protrusion 321 of the block 32 can be stably clamped on the bottom end of the power tool, thereby improving the stability of the battery pack installed on the bottom end of the power tool.

[0034] By setting a fixing component, when the power tool and the battery pack are installed, the bottom end of the power tool is installed on the upper shell 10 along the card slot 11, and is engaged with the bottom end of the power tool through the protrusions 321 on both sides, so as to prevent the battery pack from falling off the bottom end of the power tool easily, thereby improving the installation stability of the battery pack. When disassembling, by pressing the card blocks 32 on both sides, the card blocks 32 drive the protrusions 321 to detach from the bottom end of the power tool, thereby facilitating the disassembly between the power tool and the battery pack and simplifying the installation steps between the power tool and the battery pack. At the same time, by setting a guide component, the card block 32 can move smoothly during the movement to avoid jamming, and the guide component can also limit the stroke of the card block 32 to prevent the card block 32 from moving beyond the stroke, thereby improving the service life of the card block 32.

[0035] Preferably, a pressing portion 322 protruding outward is provided on one side of the block 32. A friction layer is provided on the pressing portion 322. The friction layer includes a plurality of groups of bosses distributed on the pressing portion 322 at equal intervals. The friction force on the surface of the pressing portion 322 is increased by providing the friction layer, so that the pressing portion 322 can better contact with the pressed object and exert force.

[0036] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a first guide column 40, a second guide column 42, a first guide groove 43 and a second guide groove 44. The first guide groove 43 is provided on the pressing portion 322. The second guide column 42 is provided on the protrusion 321. The first guide column 40 and the second guide column 42 are provided in the upper shell 10 front and back. The first guide column 40 is arranged opposite to the first guide groove 43, and the second guide column 42 is arranged opposite to the second guide groove 44. The first guide column 40 is slidably connected to the first guide groove 43, and the second guide column 42 is slidably connected to the second guide groove 44. The first guide column 40 and the second guide column 42 are fixedly connected to the fixed platform 31 respectively. By providing the first guide column 40, the second guide column 42, the first guide groove 43 and the second guide groove 44, when the block 32 moves, under the guiding action of the first guide column 40, the second guide column 42, the first guide groove 43 and the second guide groove 44, the block 32 can move smoothly between the fixed platform 31 and the upper shell 10 to avoid jamming. At the same time, the first guide column 40, the second guide column 42, the first guide groove 43 and the second guide groove 44 can also play a limiting role to avoid the block 32 from moving beyond the travel, thereby increasing the service life of the block 32.

[0037] Furthermore, the pressing portion 322 is provided with a first slide groove 34, and the first guide groove 43 is located on one side of the first slide groove 34. A first guide rail corresponding to the first slide groove 34 is provided in the upper shell 10. By providing the first slide groove 34 and the first guide groove 43, a guiding effect is played between the block 32 and the upper shell 10, so that the block 32 can move smoothly.

[0038] Furthermore, the protrusion 321 is provided with a second slide groove 35, and the second slide groove 35 is located on one side of the second slide groove 35. The upper shell 10 is provided with a second guide rail 21 and a first guide rail 22 corresponding to the second slide groove 35. By providing the second slide groove 35 and the second guide groove 44, a guiding effect is played between the block 32 and the upper shell 10, so that the block 32 can move smoothly.

[0039] Furthermore, a limit block 311 is provided on the fixing platform 31. The limit block 311 is located between the two groups of card blocks 32. By providing the limit block 311, the limit position of the movement of the two groups of card blocks 32 is limited, so that the two groups of card blocks 32 are prevented from overtravel and causing the two groups of card blocks 32 to collide, thereby increasing the service life of the card blocks 32.

[0040] Preferably, the battery module includes a circuit board 50, a battery bracket 51 and a metal connecting piece 52. The circuit board 50 is arranged below the fixing platform 31, and a connecting terminal 53 is arranged at one end of the circuit board 50. The battery bracket 51 is arranged below the circuit board 50, and a plurality of placement grooves 511 are arranged in the battery bracket 51, and the battery is installed in the placement grooves 511. The metal connecting piece 52 is arranged on the battery bracket 51 and connected to the circuit board 50. Under the action of the battery, the circuit board 50 and the metal connecting piece 51, the power source is provided to the electric tool through the connecting terminal 53.

[0041] Furthermore, the connection terminal 53 is inserted through the fixing platform 31 and extends into the upper housing 10. A limiting groove 12 corresponding to the connection terminal 53 is provided in the upper housing 10. By providing the limiting groove 12, the connection terminal 53 can be stably installed between the upper housing 10 and the upper shell, thereby improving the connection stability of the connection terminal 53.

[0042] Preferably, the upper shell 10 is provided with connecting feet 13 extending outward at four corners, and the connecting feet 13 are provided with fixing grooves 14. The lower shell 20 is provided with fixing blocks 23 corresponding to the fixing grooves 14 at four corners. The connecting feet 13 are fixedly connected to the lower shell 20. When the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are installed, the fixing grooves 14 are engaged with the fixing blocks 23 to complete the preliminary fixation, and then the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are further fixed by screws, thereby achieving the fixation between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20, simplifying the fixing steps between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20.

[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form.
