Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a cylindrical battery for a VR controller. Background Technology
[0002] VR glasses are virtual reality head-mounted display devices, typically used in conjunction with VR controllers. Due to the structural design of VR controllers, either cylindrical or prismatic lithium batteries can be used to power them, depending on their size. In traditional technology, because the distance and position between the positive and negative terminals of a cylindrical battery differ from those of a prismatic lithium battery, VR controllers require different circuits to be designed to accommodate different batteries. Consequently, cylindrical batteries can only be used with VR controllers that have circuits with corresponding distances and positions, resulting in a limited compatibility range for cylindrical batteries. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a cylindrical battery for VR controllers to solve the technical problem of limited compatibility of cylindrical batteries in the prior art.
[0004] A cylindrical battery for a VR controller includes: a battery body, a positive conductive sleeve, and a packaging shell. The battery body is cylindrical, with a positive contact at one end along its axial direction and a negative contact at the other end. The battery body has a negative contact surface on its periphery. The positive conductive sleeve is fitted over the battery body and makes electrical contact with the positive contact. The packaging shell covers the positive conductive sleeve and part of the battery body, and has a positive opening and a negative opening corresponding to the periphery of the battery body. The positive opening is positioned corresponding to the positive conductive sleeve, and the negative opening is positioned corresponding to the negative contact surface. The positive and negative openings can be moved downwards according to the structure of the VR controller to control the positions of the positive and negative contacts.
[0005] In one embodiment, the positive conductive sleeve includes a metal sleeve and an insulating sleeve. The metal sleeve is in electrical contact with the positive contact, and the insulating sleeve is disposed between the metal sleeve and the battery body and is attached to the battery body.
[0006] In one embodiment, the metal sleeve includes a positive electrode plate-shaped portion and a positive electrode annular portion. The positive electrode plate-shaped portion is fitted to the insulating sleeve and makes electrical contact with the positive electrode contact. One end of the positive electrode annular portion is connected to the positive electrode plate-shaped portion and fitted with the insulating sleeve.
[0007] In one embodiment, the positive electrode plate portion and the positive electrode annular portion are integrally formed.
[0008] In one embodiment, the positive electrode plate portion is provided with a through hole for the positive electrode contact to pass through, and the isolation sleeve is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the through hole.
[0009] In one embodiment, the outer packaging shell includes a snap-on portion and a packaging ring portion. There are two snap-on portions, which abut against both ends of the battery body. The two ends of the packaging ring portion are connected to the two snap-on portions respectively and wrap around the battery body and the positive electrode conductive sleeve. The packaging ring portion is provided with the positive electrode opening and the negative electrode opening.
[0010] In one embodiment, the buckle portion and the packaging ring portion are integrally formed.
[0011] In one embodiment, the packaging annular portion includes a small annular segment and a large annular segment, the small annular segment wrapping around the negative electrode contact surface of the battery body, and the large annular segment wrapping around the outside of the positive electrode conductive sleeve.
[0012] In one embodiment, the packaging annular portion further includes a transition section that is inclined from the smaller annular segment to the larger annular segment.
[0013] In one embodiment, the buckle plate is provided with clearance holes, one of the clearance holes of the buckle plate is for the positive electrode contact to be exposed, and the other clearance hole of the buckle plate is for the negative electrode contact to be exposed.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the cylindrical battery for the VR controller provided in this application are as follows:
[0015] 1. A positive conductive sleeve is fitted over the outside of the battery body and makes electrical contact with the positive contact. The outer packaging covers the positive conductive sleeve and part of the battery body. The battery body has a positive opening corresponding to the positive conductive sleeve and a negative opening corresponding to the negative contact surface. This allows for changing the distance and position between the positive and negative electrodes of the cylindrical battery, thereby increasing the compatibility range of the cylindrical battery for VR controllers.
[0016] 2. The battery body has a positive contact at one end along its own axis and a negative contact at the other end, similar to a traditional cylindrical battery. This allows current to be input or output not only through the positive and negative contacts at opposite ends, but also through the positive conductive sleeve on the periphery and the negative contact surface. In other words, current can be input or output through either the positive contact at one end and the negative contact surface on the periphery, or through the negative contact at one end and the positive conductive sleeve on the periphery. This increases the charging and discharging methods of the VR controller cylindrical battery, thereby expanding its applicability. Furthermore, it allows for simultaneous input and output of current through either the positive contact at one end or the positive conductive sleeve on the periphery, or vice versa.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, it is the cylindrical battery 100 of the VR controller according to this utility model, which is installed inside the VR controller and used to provide power to the VR controller.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the VR controller cylindrical battery 100 includes: a battery body 10, a positive conductive sleeve 20, and a packaging shell 30. The battery body 10 is cylindrical, with a positive contact 11 at one end along its own axis and a negative contact 12 at the other end. The battery body 10 has a negative contact surface 13 on its periphery. The positive conductive sleeve 20 is fitted over the battery body 10 and makes electrical contact with the positive contact 11. The packaging shell 30 covers the positive conductive sleeve 20 and part of the battery body. The battery body 10 has a positive electrode opening 31 and a negative electrode opening 32 on its periphery. The positive electrode opening 31 is positioned to correspond to the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20, and the negative electrode opening 32 is positioned to correspond to the negative electrode contact surface 13. Through the cooperation of the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20 and the packaging shell 30, the distance and position between the positive and negative electrodes of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100 can be changed, so that the positive and negative electrodes of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100 are both on the periphery wall, thereby improving the compatibility range of the cylindrical battery.
[0033] The following text, combined with Figures 1 to 3 Further explanation is provided regarding the aforementioned VR controller cylindrical battery 100.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the positive conductive sleeve 20 includes a metal sleeve 21 and an insulating sleeve 22. The metal sleeve 21 is in electrical contact with the positive contact 11. The insulating sleeve 22 is disposed between the metal sleeve 21 and the battery body 10 and fits against the battery body 10. By setting the insulating sleeve 22 between the metal sleeve 21 and the battery body 10, the contact between the metal sleeve 21, which is used to guide the positive current, and the negative contact surface 13 of the battery body 10 can be effectively avoided. This effectively reduces the occurrence of short circuit due to direct contact between the metal sleeve 21 and the negative contact surface 13 of the battery body 10, thereby improving the conductivity stability of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100.
[0035] To improve the compatibility of the positive terminal of the VR controller's cylindrical battery 100, such as Figure 2 As shown, the metal sleeve 21 includes a positive electrode plate-shaped portion 211 and a positive electrode annular portion 212. The positive electrode plate-shaped portion 211 is attached to the insulating sleeve 22 and makes electrical contact with the positive electrode contact 11. One end of the positive electrode annular portion 212 is connected to the positive electrode plate-shaped portion 211 and is fitted with the insulating sleeve 22. The positive electrode plate-shaped portion 211 and the positive electrode annular portion 212 are integrally formed. The positive electrode plate-shaped portion 211 is provided with a through hole 213 for the positive electrode contact 11 to pass through. The insulating sleeve 22 is provided with a clearance hole 221 corresponding to the through hole 213. The clearance hole 221 can effectively prevent the positive electrode contact 11 from contacting the external circuit, thereby increasing the positive electrode compatibility range of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the outer packaging shell 30 includes a buckle plate portion 33 and a packaging ring portion 34. There are two buckle plate portions 33, which abut against both ends of the battery body 10 respectively. Both ends of the packaging ring portion 34 are connected to the two buckle plate portions 33 respectively, and wrap the battery body 10 and the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20. The packaging ring portion 34 is provided with a positive electrode opening 31 and a negative electrode opening 32. The buckle plate portion 33 and the packaging ring portion 34 are integrally formed.
[0037] To reduce the space occupied by the cylindrical battery 100 in the VR controller, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the packaging ring portion 34 includes a small ring segment 341 and a large ring segment 342. The small ring segment 341 wraps around the negative electrode contact surface 13 of the battery body 10, and the large ring segment 342 wraps around the outside of the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20. By using the method of the small ring segment 341 wrapping around the negative electrode contact surface 13 of the battery body 10 and the large ring segment 342 wrapping around the outside of the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20, it is beneficial to improve the tightness of the fit between the packaging ring portion 34 and the battery body 10 and the positive electrode conductive sleeve 20, thereby effectively reducing the overall volume of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100 and achieving the purpose of effectively reducing the space occupied by the VR controller cylindrical battery 100.
[0038] To improve the structural stability of the packaging ring portion 34, such as Figures 2 to 3As shown, the packaging ring portion 34 also includes a transition section 343. The transition section 343 is inclined from the small ring portion 341 to the large ring portion 342. The inclined transition section 343 connects the small ring portion 341 and the large ring portion 342, which helps to reduce the stress at the connection between the small ring portion 341 and the large ring portion 342, avoids damage at the connection between the small ring portion 341 and the large ring portion 342, and achieves the purpose of improving the structural stability of the packaging ring portion 34.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the buckle plate 33 is provided with a clearance hole 331. One of the buckle plate 33's clearance hole 331 exposes the positive contact 11, and the other buckle plate 33's clearance hole 331 exposes the negative contact 12. The clearance holes 331 of each buckle plate 33 expose the positive contact 11 and the negative contact 12 respectively, which helps to effectively avoid blocking the positive contact 11 and the negative contact 12 from contacting the external circuit, thereby increasing the compatibility range of the positive and negative terminals of the VR controller cylindrical battery 100.
[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
