[0027] This embodiment relates to a battery box structure, see reference Figures 1-4 The device includes a housing 10, a battery pack 20 disposed within the housing 10, and a circuit board 30 disposed within the housing 10 and electrically connected to the battery pack 20. The circuit board 30 is provided with a power indicator circuit, and a display panel 40 electrically connected to the power indicator circuit is provided on the surface of the housing 10. The display panel 40 is used to display the remaining power of the battery pack 20.

[0028] A power indicator circuit is integrated on the circuit board 30. This circuit determines the remaining power by detecting changes in the voltage of the battery pack 20 and transmits the detection result to the display panel 40. The display panel 40 can be an LCD screen or other type of display, used to intuitively display the remaining power of the battery pack 20. For example, when the power is sufficient, the display panel 40 will display a full charge. When the power is insufficient, the display panel 40 will reduce the number of charge bars displayed to allow the user to charge in a timely manner. The display panel 40 can also display the remaining power of the battery pack 20 by displaying a percentage value, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that users cannot know the remaining power of the battery pack 20 and improving the user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, a micro-switch 101 is provided on the housing 10, which is used to connect or disconnect the circuit between the display panel 40 and the circuit board 30.

[0030] In this embodiment, the microswitch 101 provided on the housing 10 is used to control the connection or disconnection of the circuit between the display panel 40 and the circuit board 30. Specifically, when the user needs to check the remaining power of the battery pack 20, they can operate the microswitch 101 to connect the circuit between the display panel 40 and the circuit board 30, thereby causing the display panel 40 to display the remaining power of the battery pack 20. When the user does not need to check the remaining power of the battery pack 20, they can operate the microswitch 101 to disconnect the circuit between the display panel 40 and the circuit board 30 to save battery power.

[0031] The micro-switch 101 can be implemented in various ways, such as a push-button switch or a slide switch. The user can control the circuit to be connected or disconnected by pressing or sliding it. In this embodiment, the micro-switch 101 is located on the side of the housing 10 away from the display panel 40. In other embodiments, the micro-switch 101 can also be located on the side of the housing 10 or on the same side as the display panel 40. No further limitations are made here.

[0032] Furthermore, the circuit board 30 is also provided with a charging and discharging circuit, and the housing 10 is provided with a charging interface 102 and a discharging interface 103 that are electrically connected to the charging and discharging circuit.

[0033] In this embodiment, the charging interface 102 and the discharging interface 103, along with the micro switch, are all located on the bottom side of the housing 10 (the side of the housing 10 facing away from the display panel 40). In other embodiments, the charging interface 102 and the discharging interface 103 may also be located in other positions, which are not limited here.

[0034] By adding a charging and discharging circuit to the circuit board 30 and setting a corresponding interface on the housing 10, the battery box structure of this application can effectively solve the problem of unclear power indication. Users can know the remaining power of the battery at any time and perform charging and discharging operations, avoiding the inconvenience caused by insufficient battery power.

[0035] Furthermore, the charging port 102 is a Type-C port.

[0036] The charging port 102 uses a Type-C interface, which is reversible, eliminating the need for users to worry about the plug's orientation. The Type-C interface also supports higher current and voltage, enabling faster charging speeds and improving the battery case's charging efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two circuit boards 30, namely a first main board 31 and a second main board 32. The first main board 31 and the second main board 32 are electrically connected. The first main board 31 and the second main board 32 are respectively located above and below the battery pack 20, and the power indicator circuit and the charging and discharging circuit are respectively located on the first main board 31 and the second main board 32.

[0038] Furthermore, the housing 10 includes a bottom housing 11 with a receiving cavity 111 and an upper housing 12 for closing the receiving cavity 111. The battery pack 20 and the circuit board 30 are both housed in the receiving cavity 111 of the bottom housing 11, and the display panel 40 is disposed on the surface of the upper housing 12.

[0039] By housing the battery pack 20 and circuit board 30 within the receiving cavity 111 of the bottom shell 11, and placing the display panel 40 on the surface of the upper shell 12, the battery box structure becomes more compact, facilitating assembly and maintenance. Simultaneously, this design allows the display panel 40 to intuitively display the remaining power of the battery pack 20, improving the user experience.

[0040] Furthermore, the housing 10 also includes a face shell 13, which is fastened to the surface of the upper housing 12. The edge of the upper housing 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 121 that engages with the face shell 13, and the face shell 13 is provided with a through hole 131 corresponding to the display panel 40.

[0041] The design of the snap-fit ​​groove 121 and through hole 131 of the faceplate 13 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the snap-fit ​​groove 121 can be a recessed design, while a protrusion can be provided at a corresponding position on the faceplate 13, and a stable connection can be achieved by the snap-fit ​​between the protrusion and the groove. The through hole 131 can be customized according to the shape and size of the display panel 40 to ensure that the display content of the display panel 40 is clearly visible.

[0042] This application provides a faceplate 13 on the housing 10, and creates through holes 131 on the faceplate 13 corresponding to the display panel 40, making the battery box structure more stable and ensuring the display effect of the display panel 40. This effectively solves the problems of unstable installation or poor display effect of the display panel 40 in the battery box structure, improving the user experience.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom shell 11 is provided with multiple slots 112, and the upper shell 12 is provided with a connecting groove 122 at the position corresponding to the slots 112. The front shell 13 is provided with a locking block 132 for extending into the connecting groove 122 and engaging with the slot 112.

[0044] By providing multiple slots 112 within the bottom shell 11 and a connecting slot 122 corresponding to the slots 112 on the upper shell 12, and by providing a locking block 132 on the front shell 13 for extending into the connecting slot 122 and engaging with the slots 112, a stable connection is achieved between the front shell 13, the upper shell 12, and the bottom shell 11. Specifically, when the locking block 132 on the front shell 13 is inserted into the connecting slot 122 of the upper shell 12 and engages with the slot 112 of the bottom shell 11, a fixed connection between the front shell 13 and the upper shell 12 is ensured, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire battery box structure.

[0045] Furthermore, a ring light 104 electrically connected to the circuit board 30 is arranged around the periphery of the display panel 40. The ring light 104 can be an LED strip or other low-power, high-brightness lighting element to ensure sufficient illumination without significantly increasing the power consumption of the battery compartment. The color and brightness of the ring light 104 can be adjusted as needed; for example, multiple colors can be displayed to indicate different battery statuses through the control circuit on the circuit board 30. In addition, the ring light 104 can be installed in an embedded or surface-mount manner to adapt to different design requirements and appearance specifications.

[0046] By incorporating a ring light 104 around the 40-degree edge of the display panel, the ease of use and user experience of the battery box are significantly improved. This application's solution provides power indication while adding supplementary lighting, solving the problem of users having difficulty reading power information in low-light environments, further enhancing the practicality and reliability of the battery box.

[0047] In addition, this application also provides a household appliance, which includes a body and a battery box mechanism as described above, wherein the battery box structure is detachably connected to the body.

[0048] Furthermore, the aforementioned household appliances include blenders and / or food processors.

[0049] The household appliance in this embodiment employs a battery box structure, allowing for a detachable connection between the battery box and the main body, thus facilitating battery box replacement for the user.
