[0033] In outdoor photography applications, the battery life performance of the camera battery 22 is crucial. Generally, the battery 22 of an outdoor camera is set inside the camera body, so that the camera has the characteristics of a compact structure and portability.

[0034] However, when the camera runs out of power and cannot continue to support the shooting task, the user needs to safely remove the built-in battery 22 from the camera and then accurately install another fully charged new battery 22 into the battery 22 slot. However, for existing cameras, since the battery 22 is set inside the camera, it is not convenient to remove the battery 22 from inside the camera.

[0035] The present utility model proposes a battery quick-release structure for a camera.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the battery quick-release structure of the camera includes a housing 1, a battery assembly 2, a first elastic member 3, and a quick-release assembly 4;

[0037] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has an installation cavity 11. One end of the installation cavity 11 has an opening 111. The battery assembly 2 is movably disposed in the installation cavity 11 along the extending direction of the installation cavity 11 towards the opening 111, so as to facilitate the insertion and installation or removal of the battery assembly 2 from the opening 111. The first elastic member 3 can be set as a spring. One end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 11, and the other end of the first elastic member 3 is elastically abutted against the battery assembly 2. The first elastic member 3 is disposed at one end of the installation cavity 11 away from the opening 111. The quick-release assembly 4 includes an unlocking member 41 and a first cover member 42. The first cover member 42 covers the opening 111. The first cover member 42 is connected to the battery assembly 2. When the first cover member 42 extends out of the opening 111, it is convenient to detach the first cover member 42 and the battery assembly 2 as a whole from the installation cavity 11. In order to improve the connection stability between the housing 1 and the first cover member 42, the unlocking member 41 is located between the first cover member 42 and the battery assembly 2. The unlocking member 41 has a locking position for locking the first cover member 42 to the housing 1. When the unlocking member 41 is in the locking position, the first cover member 42 is fixed at the opening 111 of the installation cavity 11. The unlocking member 41 has an unlocking position for unlocking the first cover member 42 from the housing 1. When the unlocking member 41 is in the unlocking position, the operator can press the unlocking member 41 to drive the battery assembly 2 to compress the first elastic member 3. When the operator releases the unlocking member 41, the first elastic member 3 elastically resets to drive the battery assembly 2 to move along the direction close to the opening 111, so that the first cover member 42 at least partially extends out of the opening 111, and then it is convenient for the operator to detach the battery assembly 2 together with the first cover member 42 from the installation cavity 11. Through the quick-release assembly 4 of the present application, the battery assembly 2 can be efficiently detached from the installation cavity 11, simplifying the operation of detaching the camera battery 22 and improving the battery 22 replacement efficiency of the camera.

[0038] The technical solution of the present utility model adopts that the unlocking member 41 is movably installed on the first cover member 42. When the unlocking member 41 is placed in the unlocking position, the operator can manually drive the unlocking member 41, and then drive the battery assembly 2 to compress the first elastic member 3. After the driving force of the unlocking member 41 is released, the first elastic member 3 will use its own elastic force to reset, thereby driving the battery assembly 2 to move towards the opening 111 direction, so that the first cover member 42 at least partially extends out of the opening 111, facilitating the operator to take out the battery assembly 2 from the camera, thus significantly improving the convenience of replacing the battery 22 of the camera and making the whole process smoother and more efficient.

[0039] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first cover 42 has a through hole 421. The unlocking member 41 includes a main body 411 and a pressing portion 412 provided on one side of the main body 411. The main body 411 is located on the side of the first cover 42 close to the battery assembly 2, and the pressing portion 412 is movably inserted through the through hole 421 along a first direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first direction can be consistent with the up and down direction. An operator can drive the pressing portion 412 to move along the first direction to unlock or lock the main body with the housing 1 and the first cover 42 respectively, so as to facilitate the operator to drive the unlocking member 41 to move to the locking position or the unlocking position. To prevent the main body 411 from falling off at the through hole 421, the main body 411 is located on the side of the first cover 42 close to the battery assembly 2, so that the unlocking member 41 is located between the battery assembly 2 and the first cover 42. In the first direction, the length of the through hole 421 is greater than the length of the pressing portion 412, so as to more conveniently move the pressing portion 412 in the through hole 421, and thus more conveniently the operator controls the main body to be in the unlocked state or the locked state with the housing 1 and the first cover 42.

[0041] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the battery assembly 2 is movably provided in the installation cavity 11 along a second direction. An abutting portion 413 is provided on the side of the main body 411 away from the pressing portion 412. The abutting portion 413 is used to abut against the battery assembly 2 and push the battery assembly 2 to abut against the first elastic member 3 along the second direction, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second direction can be consistent with the front and back direction. To enable the main body 411 to better drive the battery assembly 2 to compress the first elastic member 3, the abutting portion 413 can be a protruding portion protruding from the main body 411. When the unlocking member 41 is in the unlocking position, the operator can press the unlocking member 41 to make the abutting portion 413 drive the battery assembly 2 to compress the first elastic member 3, so as to increase the contact area between the main body 411 and the battery assembly 2, and further more conveniently the unlocking member 41 drives the battery assembly 2 to compress the first elastic member 3.

[0043] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, one end of the main body 411 is provided with a plugging portion 414. The inner wall of the opening 111 has a first plugging groove 1111. The first cover 42 has a second plugging groove 422 corresponding to the first plugging groove 1111. The plugging portion 414 passes through the second plugging groove 422 and is inserted into the first plugging groove 1111.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the main body 411 and the first cover 42 and the housing 1 when the main body 411 is in the locked position, the insertion part 414 is arranged to pass through the second insertion slot 422 and be inserted into the first insertion slot 1111, so as to prevent the battery assembly 2 and the first cover 42 from slipping off from the opening 111.

[0045] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, one end of the insertion part 414 away from the main body 411 has an inclined surface part 4141, and the inclined surface part 4141 inclines towards the side close to the battery assembly 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to more conveniently enable the operator to drive the unlocking part 41 to contact the battery assembly 2, the unlocking part 41 will not interfere with the second insertion slot 422, so that the unlocking part 41 can better fit the battery assembly 2, so as to drive the battery assembly 2 to better compress the first elastic part 3.

[0047] As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, the quick-release mechanism of the battery assembly 2 further includes a second elastic part 5 for the elastic reset of the unlocking part 41. The main body 411 has a cavity 415 penetrating through the abutting part 413 and the insertion part 414, and the second elastic part 5 is arranged in the cavity 415.

[0048] In this embodiment, after the operator replaces the battery 22, it is necessary to reset the unlocking part 41 from the unlocking position to the locking position to prevent the battery assembly 2 and the first cover 42 from slipping out from the opening 111. Through the elastic force provided by the elastic recovery of the second elastic part 5 and the operator driving the pressing part 412 to move in the direction close to the second insertion slot 422, the inclined surface part 4141 slides along the inner side wall of the second insertion slot 422, so that the unlocking part 41 returns to the locking position, thus facilitating the reset of the unlocking part 41 from the unlocking position to the locking position.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the quick-release mechanism of the battery assembly 2 further includes a second cover 6 and a sealing part 7. The housing 1 has an annular groove 12 communicated with the opening 111. The second cover 6 covers the annular groove 12, and the sealing part 7 is located between the second cover 6 and the annular groove 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to improve the waterproof performance of the present application, the periphery of the second cover 6 may have a groove, and the sealing part 7 may be arranged in the groove, so as to improve the sealing performance between the second cover 6 and the annular groove 12. At the same time, the second cover 6 is detachably connected to the outer side wall of the annular groove 12 by screws, and the second cover 6 also plays a role in protecting the first cover 42 and the battery assembly 2, avoiding damage to the battery assembly 2 by foreign objects from the outside.
