Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device technology, specifically to an electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops all contain batteries, which are typically attached to the device's casing using adhesive materials such as adhesive backing. However, the adhesive connection between the battery and the casing results in a relatively thick electronic device. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides an electronic device that can reduce the thickness of the electronic device.
[0004] This application provides an electronic device, including a housing, a battery, and a limiting member. The housing has a preset surface and a mounting groove formed on the preset surface. The mounting groove includes a bottom facing the preset surface and a wall adjacent to the bottom, with a first limiting structure on the wall. The battery is housed within the mounting groove and has a first plane and a side surface adjacent to the first plane. The first plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the battery and faces the bottom of the mounting groove. A second limiting structure is provided on the side surface. The limiting member is connected to the first and second limiting structures and abuts against the second limiting structure against the bottom of the mounting groove.
[0005] With the above configuration, the mounting slot is used to accommodate the battery, allowing it to be mounted on the casing. When the battery is housed in the mounting slot, the first plane perpendicular to the battery's thickness direction faces the bottom of the mounting slot, thus making the thickness directions of the battery, the casing, and the electronic device parallel to each other. The side faces the mounting slot wall, bringing the first limiting structure close to the second limiting structure. The limiting member connects the first and second limiting structures and abuts against the second limiting structure at the bottom of the mounting slot to prevent the battery from moving relative to the casing along its thickness direction, thus confining the battery within the mounting slot. Since the first limiting structure is located on the side adjacent to the first plane, and the second limiting structure is located on the mounting slot wall adjacent to the bottom of the mounting slot, the limiting member, the first limiting structure, and the second limiting structure are all located on the side of the battery perpendicular to its thickness direction (doing not occupy thickness), thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device.
[0006] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, the first limiting structure includes a first limiting groove disposed on the wall of the mounting groove, the first limiting groove having a first preset angle between its extending direction on the mounting groove wall and the thickness direction of the battery. The second limiting structure includes a second limiting groove disposed on the side, the second limiting groove facing the first limiting groove when the battery is disposed on the casing, and the second limiting groove communicating with the first limiting groove. The limiting member is located within the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove.
[0007] With the above settings, when the battery moves in the mounting slot along the thickness direction of the electronic device, the wall of the second limiting slot abuts against the limiting member, and drives the limiting member to move along the thickness direction of the electronic device with the battery; at this time, the wall of the first limiting slot can abut against the limiting member, so as to prevent the limiting member from moving along the thickness direction of the electronic device.
[0008] In some embodiments that may include the above-described embodiments, a first positioning groove is provided on the mounting groove wall. The first positioning groove includes a first positioning groove bottom, which is parallel to the mounting groove wall, and a first limiting groove is provided on the first positioning groove bottom. A first positioning block is provided on the side, and a second limiting groove is provided on the first positioning block. When the battery is placed on the casing, the first positioning block is accommodated in the first positioning groove.
[0009] With the above configuration, the first positioning block and the first positioning groove can be used to align the battery and the mounting port to guide the battery into the mounting groove. Furthermore, the first positioning block and the first positioning groove can also be used to align the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove.
[0010] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the mounting groove wall includes a first mounting groove wall and a second mounting groove wall adjacent to the first mounting groove wall; the first positioning groove includes a first groove body and a second groove body communicating with the first groove body. The first groove body is disposed on the first mounting groove wall, and the second groove body is disposed on the second mounting groove wall. The side includes a first side and a second side, the first side and the second side are adjacent, the first side faces the first mounting groove wall, and the second side faces the second mounting groove wall. The first positioning block includes a first positioning part and a second positioning part, the first positioning part and the second positioning part are integral structures, the first positioning part is accommodated in the first groove body, and the second positioning part is accommodated in the second groove body.
[0011] The second limiting groove is provided on at least one of the first positioning part and the second positioning part.
[0012] With the above settings, the first positioning block and the first positioning groove can be aligned with the battery and the mounting groove more accurately, as well as with the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove more accurately.
[0013] In some embodiments that may include the above-described examples, a second positioning block is provided on the first plane, and a second positioning groove is provided on the bottom of the mounting groove, with the second positioning block housed within the second positioning groove. With this configuration, the second positioning block and the second positioning groove can be used to align the battery and the mounting groove.
[0014] In some embodiments that may include the above-described examples, the first positioning block and the second positioning block are an integral structure, and the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are connected. With this configuration, the battery and the mounting groove can be aligned more accurately for battery positioning.
[0015] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, a plug-in groove communicating with the first limiting groove is provided on the preset surface. The limiting member includes a limiting block and a mounting block connected to one end of the limiting block. The limiting block is located in the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, and the mounting block is located in the plug-in groove.
[0016] With the above configuration, the mounting block can be clamped by the operator to place the limiting block into the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, or to remove the limiting block from the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, which facilitates operation.
[0017] In some embodiments that may include the above embodiments, the insertion groove includes an insertion groove bottom facing the mounting groove wall, and an insertion groove wall adjacent to the insertion groove bottom. The insertion groove wall is inclined relative to a preset surface so that there is a gap between the insertion groove wall and the mounting block.
[0018] The above settings facilitate the removal of the mounting block from the insertion slot.

The limiting member includes a first limiting member located within the first and second limiting grooves, and a second limiting member located within the third and fourth limiting grooves. The end of the first limiting groove away from the preset surface communicates with the end of the third limiting groove away from the preset surface.
[0020] With the above-described configuration, both the first and second limiting members can prevent the battery from moving relative to the casing along the thickness direction of the electronic device, thus improving the battery's positioning effect and ensuring its secure installation within the mounting slot. Furthermore, the proximity of the first and third limiting slots, as well as the proximity of the second and fourth limiting slots, saves time when operating the first and second limiting members.

[0052] The housing 100 has a preset surface 110, on which a mounting groove 120 and a mounting opening communicating with the mounting groove 120 are provided. In one example, both the preset surface 110 and the mounting groove 120 can be located on the middle frame 11, that is, the middle frame 11 surrounds the mounting groove 120; in another example, both the preset surface 110 and the mounting groove 120 can be located on the middle plate.

The first mounting groove wall 123, the third mounting groove wall 125, the first side 14, and the second side 15 are parallel to each other. The second mounting groove wall 124 and the fourth mounting groove wall 126 are positioned opposite each other, with the second mounting groove wall 124 potentially close to the bottom edge 13 and the fourth mounting groove wall 126 potentially close to the top edge 12. The second mounting groove wall 124, the fourth mounting groove wall 126, the top edge 12, and the bottom edge 13 are parallel to each other.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 The electronic device 10 in this application embodiment (such as...) Figure 1 (As shown) it also includes a battery 200. The battery 200 has a casing, the material of which may include a material with ductility and flexibility such as aluminum-plastic film, or the material of the casing may also include a material with high strength and hardness such as steel. The battery 200 may be cuboid in shape, or the battery 200 may also be cylindrical, etc.
[0056] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4In one optional embodiment, the battery 200 has a first plane 210, a second plane 220, and a side surface 230 connecting the first plane 210 and the second plane 220. The first plane 210 and the second plane 220 are respectively disposed on both sides of the battery 200, and the side surface 230 is located between the first plane 210 and the second plane 220 and is disposed around the first plane 210 and the second plane 220. The thickness direction of the battery 200 is parallel to the second direction y, the first plane 210 and the second plane 220 are spaced apart along the second direction y, both the first plane 210 and the second plane 220 can be perpendicular to the second direction y, and the side surface 230 can be parallel to the second direction y.
[0057] Side 230 may include a first side 231, a second side 232, a third side 233, and a fourth side 234. The first side 231, second side 232, and fourth side 234 are adjacent to each other. The first side 231 and third side 233 are positioned opposite each other, and can be parallel to each other, and both can be parallel to the length direction of the battery 200. The second side 232 and fourth side 234 are positioned opposite each other, and can be parallel to each other, and both can be parallel to the width direction of the battery 200.
[0058] Based on the above structure, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 The battery 200 can be inserted into the mounting slot 120 through the mounting port to be mounted on the housing 100; or the battery 200 can be removed from the mounting slot 120 through the mounting port to be detached from the housing 100. When the battery 200 is mounted on the housing 100, the thickness direction of the battery 200 is perpendicular to that of the electronic device 10 (e.g., Figure 1 The thickness directions of the two planes (as shown) are parallel, that is, the second direction y is parallel to the first direction x. One of the first plane 210 and the second plane 220 can face the bottom of the mounting groove 121 and contact the bottom of the mounting groove 121; the other of the first plane 210 and the second plane 220 can be exposed at the mounting opening. This application embodiment will be described with the first plane 210 facing the bottom of the mounting groove 121 as an example.
[0059] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the battery 200 is mounted on the housing 100, its side 230 faces the mounting groove wall 122. Specifically, the first side 231 may face the first mounting groove wall 123, the second side 232 may face the second mounting groove wall 124, the third side 233 may face the third mounting groove wall 125, and the fourth side 234 may face the fourth mounting groove wall 126. The mounting groove wall 122 can be used to abut against the side 230 to limit the position of the battery 200.
[0060] When the battery 200 is mounted on the housing 100, the first side 231 can be close to the first side 14 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown), the second side 232 can be close to the bottom edge 13 (as shown). Figure 1 (As shown).
[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 The electronic device 10 in this application embodiment (e.g.) Figure 1 (As shown) it also includes a limiting element 300. For example... Figure 2 As shown, a first limiting structure 130 is provided on the mounting groove wall 122; as Figure 3 As shown, a second limiting structure 240 is provided on the side 230. When the battery 200 is placed on the housing 100, the limiting member 300 connects the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240. The limiting member 300 is used to abut against the second limiting structure 240 at the bottom 121 of the mounting groove to prevent the second limiting structure 240 from moving relative to the first limiting structure 130 in the first direction x, thereby preventing the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 in the first direction x and preventing the battery 200 from leaving the mounting groove 120.
[0062] The electronic device 10 provided in this application embodiment has a housing 100 having a preset surface 110, on which a mounting groove 120 is provided. The mounting groove 120 includes a mounting groove bottom 121 facing the preset surface 110 and a mounting groove wall 122 adjacent to the mounting groove bottom 121. A first limiting structure 130 is provided on the mounting groove wall 122. A battery 200 is disposed in the mounting groove 120. The battery 200 has a first plane 210 and a side surface 230. The first plane 210 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the battery 200. The side surface 230 is adjacent to the first plane 210 and faces the mounting groove bottom 121. A second limiting structure 240 is provided on the side surface 230. A limiting member 300 is connected to the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240, and the limiting member 300 is used to abut against the second limiting structure 240 towards the mounting groove bottom 121 to prevent the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 along the thickness direction. Since the first limiting structure 130 is located on the side 230 adjacent to the first plane 210, and the second limiting structure 240 is located on the mounting groove wall 122 adjacent to the mounting groove bottom 121, the limiting member 300, the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240 are all located on the side of the battery 200 perpendicular to the thickness direction (doing not occupy the thickness), thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device 10.
[0063] In some implementations, the limiting component 300 can be connected to the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240 by means of welding, bonding, snap-fit connection, bolt connection, etc.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, the limiting member 300 may include a bolt, the first limiting structure 130 may include a first screw hole, and the second limiting structure 240 may include a second screw hole. The bolt connects the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240 through the first screw hole and the second screw hole. The bolt is used to abut against the wall of the second screw hole to abut against the second limiting structure 240 towards the bottom 121 of the mounting groove, thereby preventing the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 in the first direction x.
[0065] In another alternative embodiment, please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first limiting structure 130 may include a first limiting groove 131 disposed on the mounting groove wall 122, wherein the extending direction a of the first limiting groove 131 has a first preset angle α with the first direction x. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 The second limiting structure 240 may include a second limiting groove 241 disposed on the side 230. The extending direction b of the second limiting groove 241 may intersect with the second direction y, and the included angle between the extending direction b of the second limiting groove 241 and the second direction y may be equal to the first preset included angle α. When the battery 200 is disposed on the housing 100, the extending direction b of the second limiting groove 241 intersects with the first direction x; the second limiting groove 241 faces the first limiting groove 131, and the second limiting groove 241 is connected to the first limiting groove 131. The limiting member 300 (such as...) Figure 5 (As shown) can be located within the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241.
[0066] Based on the above configuration, when the battery 200 moves along the first direction x within the mounting groove 120, the wall of the first limiting groove 131 abuts against the limiting member 300 to prevent the limiting member 300 from moving along the first direction x; the limiting member 300 abuts against the wall of the second limiting groove 241. Since the extending direction of the second limiting groove 241 intersects the first direction x, the force exerted by the limiting member 300 on the wall of the second limiting groove 241 includes a component parallel to the first direction x, that is, the limiting member 300 abuts against the wall of the second limiting groove 241 towards the bottom 121 of the mounting groove, thereby preventing the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 along the first direction x.
[0067] In the above embodiment, the limiting member 300 abuts against the groove wall of the second limiting groove 241, and can also prevent the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x.
[0068] In some implementation methods, please combine Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the battery 200 is mounted on the housing 100, the walls of the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 can be connected to each other. Based on the above configuration, the structure is relatively compact.
[0069] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first limiting groove 131 may include a first slot 132, and the first slot 132 may be connected to the mounting groove 120 (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown) The first slot 132 can face the preset surface 110. The second limiting slot 241 may include the second slot 242, which can face the second plane 220. When the battery 200 is placed on the housing 100, the first slot 132 and the second slot 242 can communicate, and the limiting member 300 (as shown) Figure 5 (As shown) It can be inserted into the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 along the extension direction of the first limiting groove 131 through the first groove 132 and the second groove 242, or removed from the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 along the extension direction of the first limiting groove 131 through the first groove 132 and the second groove 242.
[0070] Based on the above configuration, the limiting member 300 is detachably connected to the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240, thereby detachably connecting the battery 200 and the housing 100, avoiding the use of adhesive substances such as backing adhesive to bond the battery 200 and the housing 100. Therefore, when removing the battery 200, there is no need to use tools such as alcohol or to remove the backing adhesive using freezing conditions, avoiding potential safety hazards associated with storing alcohol. Simultaneously, the limiting member 300 can be inserted into or removed from the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 through the first slot 132 and the second slot 242, simplifying operation and improving the efficiency of installing the battery 200 onto the housing 100 and the efficiency of removing the battery 200 from the housing 100.
[0071] In some implementation methods, please combine Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the limiting member 300 is located within the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241, the groove walls of the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 can both fit against the limiting member 300. Therefore, there are no gaps between the limiting member 300 and the groove walls of the first limiting groove 131, and between the limiting member 300 and the groove walls of the second limiting groove 241, which can reduce or even prevent the battery 200 from swaying in the first direction x.
[0072] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 A insertion groove 140 is provided on the preset surface 110, the opening of the insertion groove 140 is exposed on the preset surface 110, and the insertion groove 140 communicates with the first limiting groove 131. Based on the above structure, as Figure 5As shown, the limiting member 300 may include a limiting block 310 and a mounting block 320. One end of the mounting block 320 is connected to one end of the limiting block 310, and the length direction of the mounting block 320 intersects the length direction of the limiting block 310. The limiting block 310 can be accommodated within the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241; the mounting block 320 can be accommodated within the insertion groove 140 and exposed at the opening of the insertion groove 140. Thus, the mounting block 320 can be held by the operator to insert the limiting block 310 into the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241, or to remove the limiting block 310 from the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241, facilitating operation.
[0073] In one alternative embodiment, please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 The insertion slot 140 includes an insertion slot bottom 141 and an insertion slot wall 142. The insertion slot bottom 141 faces the mounting slot wall 122, and the insertion slot wall 142 is adjacent to the insertion slot bottom 141. The insertion slot wall 142 is inclined relative to the preset surface 110. Therefore, please refer to... Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 When the mounting block 320 is located within the insertion slot 140, there is a gap between the insertion slot wall 142 and the mounting block 320. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the mounting block 320 from the insertion slot 140.
[0074] In one alternative embodiment, please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first limiting structure 130 may further include a third limiting groove 133 disposed on the mounting groove wall 122. The extension direction of the third limiting groove 133 has a second preset angle β with the first direction x, and the extension direction of the third limiting groove 133 intersects with the extension direction a of the first limiting groove 131. The end of the third limiting groove 133 away from the preset surface 110 may be connected to the end of the first limiting groove 131 away from the preset surface 110.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 8 The second limiting structure 240 may include a structure disposed on the side 230 (e.g., Figure 3 The fourth limiting groove 243 (as shown) extends in a direction that intersects with the second direction y. The angle between the extension direction of the fourth limiting groove 243 and the second direction y can be equal to a second preset angle β. One end of the fourth limiting groove 243 near the first surface can communicate with one end of the second limiting groove 241 near the first surface. When the battery 200 is placed on the housing 100, the fourth limiting groove 243 faces the third limiting groove 133 (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), and the fourth limiting groove 243 is connected to the third limiting groove 133.
[0076] Based on the above structure, the limiting member 300 may include a first limiting member and a second limiting member. The first limiting member is housed within a first limiting groove 131 and a second limiting groove 241, and the second limiting member is housed within a third limiting groove 133 and a fourth limiting groove 243. Thus, both the first and second limiting members can prevent the battery 200 from moving relative to the housing 100 along the first direction x, improving the limiting effect on the battery 200 and ensuring its more secure installation within the mounting groove 120. Furthermore, the proximity of the first and third limiting grooves 131 and 241 to each other saves time in operating the first and second limiting members.
[0077] In some implementations, the first preset included angle α and the second preset included angle β are equal, the shape and size of the first limiting groove 131 are the same as those of the third limiting groove 133, and the shape and size of the second limiting groove 241 are the same as those of the fourth limiting groove 243. With these settings, the first limiting member can also be accommodated within the second limiting groove 241 and the fourth limiting groove 243, and the second limiting member can also be accommodated within the first limiting groove 131 and the third limiting groove 133, facilitating operation.
[0078] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the above embodiments, the first limiting structure 130 may be disposed on at least one of the first mounting groove wall 123, the second mounting groove wall 124, the third mounting groove wall 125, and the fourth mounting groove wall 126; the second limiting structure 240 may be disposed on at least one of the first side surface 231, the second side surface 232, the third side surface 233, and the fourth side surface 234. In one example, the first limiting structure 130 may be disposed on the first mounting groove wall 123, and the second limiting structure 240 may be disposed on the second side surface 232. In another example, the first limiting structure 130 may be disposed on the third mounting groove wall 125, and the second limiting structure 240 may be disposed on the third side surface 233.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, the first limiting structure 130, the second limiting structure 240, and the limiting member 300 (e.g., Figure 5Multiple first limiting structures 130 (as shown) can be provided. Each first limiting structure 130 is spaced apart on the mounting groove wall 122, and each second limiting structure 240 is spaced apart on the side 230. The corresponding first limiting structures 130 and second limiting structures 240 are connected by limiting members 300. In one example, one first limiting structure 130 and one second limiting structure 240 can be connected by one limiting member 300; in another example, one first limiting structure 130 and one second limiting structure 240 can be connected by two limiting members 300; in other examples, one first limiting structure 130 and one second limiting structure 240 can be connected by three or more limiting members 300. This arrangement improves the limiting effect on the battery 200, allowing the battery 200 to be installed more securely within the mounting groove 120.
[0080] In some implementations, each limiting member 300 is connected to a first limiting structure 130 and a second limiting structure 240. In other implementations, every two limiting members 300 are connected to a first limiting structure 130 and a second limiting structure 240.
[0081] In one example, there can be four of each of the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240. For example... Figure 2 As shown, two of the first limiting structures 130 are spaced apart on the first mounting groove wall 123, and the other two of the first limiting structures 130 are spaced apart on the third mounting groove wall 125; Figure 3 As shown, two of the second limiting structures 240 are spaced apart on the first side surface 231, and the other two of the second limiting structures 240 are spaced apart on the third side surface 233. Limiting member 300 (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown, there can be four limiting members 300, each connected to a first limiting structure 130 and a second limiting structure 240; or, there can be eight limiting members 300, with every two limiting members 300 connected to a first limiting structure 130 and a second limiting structure 240. Thus, both sides of the battery 200 are limited on the housing 100 by the first limiting structure 130, the second limiting structure 240, and the limiting members 300, improving the limiting effect on the battery 200 and enabling the battery 200 to be installed more securely within the mounting slot 120.
[0082] In another example, there can be three of each of the first limiting structure 130 and the second limiting structure 240. The first of each first limiting structure 130 is disposed on the first mounting groove wall 123, the second of each first limiting structure 130 is disposed on the third mounting groove wall 125, and the third of each first limiting structure 130 can be disposed near the second mounting groove wall 124 or the fourth mounting groove wall 126. Each second limiting structure 240 and each limiting member 300 corresponds to a different first limiting structure 130. There can be three limiting members 300, each limiting member 300 connecting one first limiting structure 130 and one second limiting structure 240; or, there can be six limiting members 300, with every two limiting members 300 connecting one first limiting structure 130 and one second limiting structure 240.
[0083] In an alternative embodiment, the second limiting groove 241 may be provided on the outer casing of the battery 200.
[0084] In another alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The battery 200 is provided with a first positioning block 250, and a second limiting groove 241 is provided on the first positioning block 250. The first positioning block 250 can be installed on the battery 200 by means of injection molding, bonding, vacuum adsorption, welding, etc. The material used to make the first positioning block 250 can include any of the following materials: plastic, metal, etc. Based on this, the first positioning block 250 has a certain strength and hardness at room temperature, and the first positioning block 250 has fluidity or plasticity after being heated to a certain temperature, so as to facilitate processing and molding.
[0085] Based on the above structure, please refer to Figure 7 The mounting groove wall 122 may be provided with a first positioning groove 150, the first positioning groove 150 including a first positioning groove bottom 151, the first positioning groove bottom 151 may be parallel to the mounting groove wall 122 (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown). Please refer to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first positioning groove 150 is configured to correspond to the first positioning block 250, and the first limiting groove 131 can be disposed on the bottom 151 of the first positioning groove. When the battery 200 is disposed on the housing 100, the first positioning block 250 can be accommodated in the first positioning groove 150, and the groove wall of the first positioning groove 150 can fit against the first positioning block 250, so that the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241 are connected.
[0086] With the above configuration, the first positioning block 250 is housed within the first positioning groove 150, which reduces the width or length of the electronic device 10. Furthermore, the first positioning block 250 and the first positioning groove 150 can be used to align the battery 200 with the mounting opening to guide the battery 200 into the mounting groove 120; the first positioning block 250 and the first positioning groove 150 can also be used to align the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241.
[0087] In some implementations, the groove wall of the first positioning groove 150 is in contact with the first positioning block 250. The groove wall of the first positioning groove 150 can be used to abut against the first positioning block 250 to limit the battery 200 and prevent the battery 200 from moving against the housing 100 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x.
[0088] In one alternative embodiment, please combine Figure 3 and Figure 8 The first positioning block 250 can be located on at least one of the first side 231, the second side 232, the third side 233, and the fourth side 234; please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The first positioning groove 150 may be located on at least one of the first mounting groove wall 123, the second mounting groove wall 124, the third mounting groove wall 125, and the fourth mounting groove wall 126. For example, the first positioning block 250 may be located on the first side 231, and the first positioning groove 150 may be located on the first mounting groove wall 123.
[0089] In another alternative embodiment, the first positioning block 250 may be located on two adjacent sides of the first side 231, the second side 232, the third side 233, and the fourth side 234; the first positioning groove 150 may be located on two adjacent sides of the first mounting groove wall 123, the second mounting groove wall 124, the third mounting groove wall 125, and the fourth mounting groove wall 126.
[0090] In one example, please refer to Figure 19 The first positioning block 250 may include a first positioning part 251 and a second positioning part 252, which are integral structures. The first positioning part 251 may be located on the first side 231, and the second positioning part 252 may be located on the second side 232. Please refer to... Figure 20 and Figure 21The first positioning groove 150 may include a first groove body 152 and a second groove body 153. The first groove body 152 may be located on the first mounting groove wall 123, and the second groove body 153 may be located on the second mounting groove wall 124. The first positioning part 251 is housed within the first groove body 152, and the second positioning part 252 is housed within the second groove body 153. Thus, the first positioning block 250 and the first positioning groove 150 can be aligned relatively accurately with the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 241.
[0091] In other examples, the first positioning part 251 and the second positioning part 252 may also be located in other positions. For example, the first positioning part 251 may also be located on the second side 232, and the second positioning part 252 may also be located on the third side 233. The first groove 152 and the second groove 153 may also be located in other positions. For example, the first groove 152 may also be located on the second mounting groove wall 124, and the second groove 153 may also be located on the third mounting groove wall 125.
[0092] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 21 The first limiting groove 131 can be located on at least one of the groove walls of the first groove 152 and the second groove 153. Please refer to... Figure 19 The second limiting groove 241 can be located on at least one of the first positioning part 251 and the second positioning part 252. In one example, the first limiting groove 131 can be located on the groove wall of the first groove body 152, and the second limiting groove 241 can be located on the first positioning part 251; in another example, the first limiting groove 131 can be located on the groove wall of the second groove body 153, and the second limiting groove 241 can be located on the second positioning part 252. Based on the above configuration, the first limiting groove 131, the second limiting groove 241, and the limiting member 300 (such as...) Figure 5 As shown, it can be positioned close to the corner of battery 200, improving the corner-limiting effect of battery 200. When electronic device 10 (such as...) Figure 1 If a collision occurs (as shown), the corners of the battery 200 may be subjected to significant force, potentially causing the battery 200 to detach from the casing 100. The above-mentioned design reduces the probability of the battery 200 detaching from the casing 100.
[0093] In the above embodiments, multiple first positioning blocks 250 and multiple first positioning grooves 150 may be provided, with each first positioning block 250 being accommodated in a different first positioning groove 150. In embodiments where multiple first positioning blocks 250 and multiple second limiting grooves 241 are provided, each second limiting groove 241 may be provided on a different first positioning block 250.
[0094] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 19A second positioning block 260 is also provided on the first plane 210. The method by which the second positioning block 260 is installed in the battery 200 can be the same as the method by which the first positioning block 250 is installed in the battery 200. The material of the second positioning block 260 can be the same as the material of the first positioning block 250, and will not be described again here. Please refer to... Figure 21 A second positioning groove 160 is provided on the bottom 121 of the mounting groove. When the battery 200 is placed on the housing 100, the second positioning block 260 can be accommodated in the second positioning groove 160. Thus, the second positioning block 260 and the second positioning groove 160 can be used to align the battery 200 and the mounting groove 120.
[0095] In some implementations, the wall of the second positioning groove 160 can fit against the second positioning block 260, and the wall of the second positioning groove 160 can be used to abut against the second positioning block 260 to limit the battery 200 and prevent the battery 200 from moving against the housing 100 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x. The second positioning block 260 and the second positioning groove 160 can increase the contact area between the battery 200 and the housing 100, and improve the limiting effect on the battery 200.
[0096] In some implementations, the first positioning block 250 and the second positioning block 260 are an integral structure, and the first positioning groove 150 and the second positioning groove 160 are connected. This allows for more accurate alignment of the battery 200 and the mounting groove 120 for positioning the battery 200. In one example, the first positioning block 250 may be located on the first side 231, and the second positioning block 260 may be located on the first plane 210 and connected to the first positioning block 250; in another example, the first positioning block 250 may be located on the third side 233, and the second positioning block 260 may be located on the first plane 210 and connected to the first positioning block 250.
[0097] In embodiments where the first positioning block 250 includes a first positioning part 251 and a second positioning part 252, the first positioning block 250 and the second positioning block 260 may be an integral structure.
[0098] In one example, the first positioning part 251 is located at the junction of the first side 231 and the second side 232, wherein the first positioning block 250 is located on the first side 231, the second positioning block 260 is located on the second side 232, and the second positioning part 252 is located on the first plane 210 and connected to the first positioning block 250 and the second positioning block 260. In another example, the first positioning part 251 is located at the junction of the second side 232 and the third side 233, wherein the first positioning block 250 is located on the second side 232, the second positioning block 260 is located on the third side 233, and the second positioning part 252 is located on the first plane 210 and connected to the first positioning block 250 and the second positioning block 260.
[0099] In the above embodiments, multiple second positioning blocks 260 and multiple second positioning slots 160 may be provided, with each second positioning block 260 being accommodated in a different second positioning slot 160. In embodiments where multiple first positioning blocks 250 and multiple second positioning blocks 260 are provided, each second positioning block 260 may be connected to a different first positioning block 250.
