They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Reference Figure 1-12 A remote control that supports hot-swappable batteries includes a remote control body 1, an outer frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the remote control body 1, a box 3 fixedly connected to the right side of the outer frame 2 and the bottom of the remote control body 1, a through hole 4 opened on the right side of the outer frame 2, a first conductive post 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole 4, a mounting bracket 6 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 3, and a circuit board 7 fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting bracket 6.

[0032] The inner frame 8 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the outer frame 2. The front of the inner frame 8 is provided with a groove 9. The inner wall of the groove 9, the upper and lower sides of the inner frame 8, the inner wall of the outer frame 2 and the left side of the first conductive post 5 are all fitted with battery modules 10. By setting the outer frame 2 at the bottom of the remote control and placing the battery modules 10 flat inside the outer frame 2, the change in the shape of the remote control is small, so that the addition of the outer frame 2 will not affect its use.

[0033] Locking brackets 11 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the inner frame 8. The inner wall of the locking brackets 11 is in contact with the surface of the battery module 10. An indicator light 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer frame 2. The circuit board 7 is electrically connected to the remote control body 1, the first conductive post 5 and the indicator light 12 respectively. There are two battery modules 10 and two indicator lights 12. The positions of the battery modules 10 and the indicator lights 12 correspond one-to-one.

[0034] The circuit board 7 is equipped with a battery management module and a battery over-discharge protection module. The battery management module enables the remote control to be powered by only one battery module 10. When battery module 10 is depleted, it can automatically switch to another battery module 10 for power supply. When battery module 10 is supplying power normally, the battery management module on the circuit board 7 controls the corresponding indicator light 12 to light up green. When battery module 10 is depleted, the battery management module on the circuit board 7 controls the corresponding indicator light 12 to light up red. When battery module 10 is not supplying power or no battery module 10 is installed in the position corresponding to indicator light 12, the battery management module on the circuit board 7 controls the corresponding indicator light 12 to not light up. The battery over-discharge protection module prevents battery module 10 from being damaged due to over-discharge.

[0035] The battery module 10 includes a battery housing 101. The upper and lower sides of the inner frame 8 and the inner wall of the outer frame 2 are in contact with the surface of the battery housing 101. A trapezoidal block 102 is fixedly connected to the surface of the battery housing 101. The inner wall of the groove 9 and the inner wall of the locking bracket 11 are in contact with the surface of the trapezoidal block 102. When the battery housing 101 is inserted into the outer frame 2, the groove 9 and the trapezoidal block 102 cooperate to limit the battery housing 101.

[0036] A rechargeable battery pack 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery casing 101. A second conductive post 104 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery casing 101. The right side of the second conductive post 104 contacts the left side of the first conductive post 5. The rechargeable battery pack 103 is electrically connected to the second conductive post 104. When the battery casing 101 is fixed inside the outer frame 2, the first conductive post 5 contacts the second conductive post 104, and the rechargeable battery pack 103 is electrically connected to the circuit board 7 through the first conductive post 5 and the second conductive post 104.

[0037] The locking bracket 11 includes a horizontal plate 111. The inner wall of the inner frame 8 is in contact with the surface of the horizontal plate 111. A locking hole 112 is provided inside the horizontal plate 111. The inner wall of the locking hole 112 is in contact with the surface of the trapezoidal block 102. A circular hole 113 is provided inside the horizontal plate 111. A spring 114 is fixedly connected inside the circular hole 113. A ring 115 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spring 114. A cylinder 116 is fitted to the inner wall of the ring 115. Both the upper and lower ends of the cylinder 116 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 2. Through the cooperation of the cylinder 116 and the ring 115, the horizontal plate 111 can only move up and down within the inner frame 8.

[0038] The back of the trapezoidal block 102 is sloping, and the front is vertical. When the trapezoidal block 102 is inserted into the groove 9, the spring force of the spring 114 causes the inner wall of the locking hole 112 to contact the trapezoidal block 102. Through the cooperation of the groove 9, the locking hole 112 and the trapezoidal block 102, the battery casing 101 is fixed in the outer frame 2. When the locking hole 112 is separated from the trapezoidal block 102, the battery casing 101 can be directly separated from the outer frame 2. At the same time, when the battery casing 101 is inserted into the outer frame 2, the sloping back of the trapezoidal block 102 can push the horizontal plate 111 to move automatically, so that the battery casing 101 can be directly inserted into the outer frame 2.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Reference Figure 1-8 The box body 3 has a first vent 13 on its right side, and a miniature cooling fan 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the box body 3. The first vent 13 is aligned with the miniature cooling fan 14. The outer frame 2 has a second vent 15 on its right side. The second vent 15 is located inside the box body 3 and aligned with the battery module 10. The width of the battery casing 101 is less than the length of the second vent 15. Through the cooperation of the first vent 13, the miniature cooling fan 14 and the second vent 15, the miniature cooling fan 14 can generate a rapid airflow inside the box body 3 and the outer frame 2 after it is turned on. The rapid airflow will dissipate the heat of the circuit board 7 and the battery module 10, thereby preventing the circuit board 7 and the battery module 10 from getting too hot during use.

[0041] A first dustproof net 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer frame 2. The first dustproof net 16 is aligned with the second air hole 15. A second dustproof net 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the miniature cooling fan 14. Through the cooperation of the first dustproof net 16 and the second dustproof net 17, dust in the air cannot enter the box 3 through the first air hole 13 or the second air hole 15.

[0042] In this invention, when the user uses the remote control, the battery management module in the circuit board 7 enables the remote control to be powered by only one battery module 10. The battery management module on the circuit board 7 controls the corresponding indicator light 12 to light up green. At the same time, the indicator light 12 corresponding to the unpowered battery module 10 does not light up. When the powered battery module 10 is low on power, the battery management module in the circuit board 7 can automatically switch to another battery module 10 for power supply. The battery management module on the circuit board 7 controls the indicator light 12 corresponding to the low-powered battery module 10 to light up red, while the indicator light 12 corresponding to the normally powered battery module 10 lights up green. At this time, the user can replace the low-powered battery module 10.

[0043] When replacing the depleted battery module 10, since the remote control is powered by another battery module 10, the remote control will not lose power or stop working when the depleted battery module 10 is replaced.

[0044] When replacing a depleted battery module 10, first move the corresponding horizontal plate 111 to separate the locking hole 112 on the horizontal plate 111 from the trapezoidal block 102, so that the depleted battery module 10 can be directly removed from the outer frame 2.

[0045] After the depleted battery module 10 is removed from the outer frame 2, the horizontal plate 111 is released, and the spring force of the spring 114 causes the horizontal plate 111 to return to its initial position. Then, the recharged battery module 10 is inserted into the outer frame 2. The horizontal plate 111 can be automatically moved by the inclined surface on the back of the trapezoidal block 102. When the trapezoidal block 102 is aligned with the locking hole 112, the spring force of the spring 114 causes the inner wall of the locking hole 112 to contact the trapezoidal block 102. Through the cooperation of the groove 9, the locking hole 112 and the trapezoidal block 102, the battery module 10 is fixed in the outer frame 2.

[0046] Meanwhile, after the battery casing 101 is fixed inside the outer frame 2, the first conductive post 5 contacts the second conductive post 104, and the charging battery pack 103 is electrically connected to the circuit board 7 through the first conductive post 5 and the second conductive post 104.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
