[0002] Traditional golf ball retrieval methods rely heavily on manual labor, requiring significant time and effort to search and collect balls across the course. Intelligent golf ball retrievers, on the other hand, can quickly traverse the course, using advanced sensing or detection technology to precisely locate the balls and efficiently retrieve them. Due to the vast area of ​​golf courses, intelligent golf ball retrievers require large-capacity batteries. However, typical large-capacity batteries are blocky and bulky, resulting in low space utilization and inconvenient charging and replacement. Therefore, developing a stable, compact, and waterproof large-capacity battery is essential. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes a strip-shaped battery module that is stable in assembly, compact in structure and has good waterproof performance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a strip-shaped battery module for a smart golf cart is proposed, comprising an integrally formed strip-shaped battery housing. A battery top cover and a battery bottom plate are respectively fitted to the upper and lower ends of the strip-shaped battery housing. Insulating support plates are symmetrically arranged around the inner wall of the strip-shaped battery housing. The battery top cover is provided with a disassembly buckle and a limiting block. The limiting block is the same width as the strip-shaped battery housing. A buffer device is provided on the battery bottom plate. The buffer device includes a buffer plate and a telescopic rod. A buffer spring is provided on the telescopic rod.

[0005] Based on the above, this utility model consists of a strip-shaped battery casing, a battery base plate, and a battery top cover. The overall structure is simple and compact, occupying a small volume. The strip-shaped battery casing is a one-piece molded structure, reducing gaps compared to conventional assembly structures and providing a waterproof effect. A buffer device is provided on the battery base plate to prevent direct collision between the battery cells and the base plate during cell assembly, thus avoiding damage to the cells. Simultaneously, the insulating support plate supports and limits the cells and improves heat dissipation, making the cell assembly more stable. The disassembly and assembly buckles allow for quick assembly and disassembly of the battery, with auxiliary limiting blocks ensuring structural stability while improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the four right-angled sides of the strip-shaped battery casing in the height direction is provided with an arc groove, and both ends of the arc groove are provided with threads. The battery base plate and the battery top cover are engaged with the strip-shaped battery casing by screws and the threads.

[0007] Based on the above, the arc-shaped groove is located on the outer surface of the battery housing and is not connected to the inside of the battery module. The battery top cover and the battery bottom plate are installed onto the battery housing through the threads on the arc-shaped groove, which prevents water stains from entering the battery through the screw holes and effectively waterproofs the battery.

[0008] Furthermore, a number of heat sinks are provided on the outer wall of the strip-shaped battery casing.

[0009] Based on the above, the heat sink increases the heat dissipation area and improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the battery cover is provided with a USB interface, an aviation plug, and a Rima plug, and the aviation plug is provided with a dustproof end cap.

[0011] Based on the above, the USB interface is used for current input, the aviation plug is used for electrical signal transmission, and the Rima plug is capable of high-power output for power transmission to the smart car.

[0012] Furthermore, the battery cover is also equipped with a power button and a power indicator light.

[0013] Based on the above, the power button is used to start the bar-shaped power module, and the power indicator light can monitor the power of the battery cells in real time during the use of the bar-shaped battery module.

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will further explain this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a strip battery module for a smart golf cart includes an integrally formed strip battery housing 1, with a battery top cover 2 and a battery bottom plate 3 respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the strip battery housing 1.

[0023] Insulating support plates 4 are symmetrically arranged around the inner wall of the strip-shaped battery casing 1. These plates support and limit the movement of the battery cell 20 and improve heat dissipation, making the assembly of the battery cell 20 more stable. Arc-shaped grooves 11 are respectively provided on the four right-angled sides of the strip-shaped battery casing 1 along its height direction. Threads 12 are provided at both ends of each arc-shaped groove 11. The battery base plate 3 and the battery top cover 2 are engaged with the strip-shaped battery casing 1 via screws and the threads 12. The arc-shaped grooves 11 are located on the outer surface of the battery casing and are not connected to the inside of the battery module. The threads 12 on the arc-shaped grooves 11 are used to install the battery top cover 2 and the battery base plate 3 onto the battery casing, preventing water from entering the battery through the screw holes and effectively waterproofing the battery.

[0024] The battery cover 2 is equipped with a disassembly buckle 5 and a limiting block 6. The limiting block 6 is the same width as the strip-shaped battery casing 1. The disassembly buckle 5 allows for quick disassembly and assembly of the battery, while the limiting block 6 provides auxiliary limiting, ensuring structural assembly stability and improving disassembly and assembly efficiency. The battery base plate 3 is equipped with a buffer device 7, which includes a buffer plate 8 and a telescopic rod 9. The telescopic rod 9 is equipped with a buffer spring 10. During the assembly of the battery cell 20, the buffer device 7 prevents direct collision between the battery cell 20 and the battery base plate 3, thus avoiding damage to the battery cell 20. After installation, the buffer device 7 is in a fully compressed state, preventing the battery cell 20 from shaking within the strip-shaped battery casing 1.

[0025] In addition, several heat sinks 13 are provided on the outer wall of the strip-shaped battery casing 1. The heat sinks increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The battery cover 2 is provided with a USB interface 14, an aviation plug 15, and a Rima plug 16. The aviation plug 15 is provided with a dustproof end cap 17. The USB interface 14 is a bidirectional charging interface that can be used for current input and output. The aviation plug 15 is used for electrical signal transmission. The Rima plug 16 can provide high-power output for power transmission to the smart car. The battery cover 2 is also provided with a power button 18 and a power indicator light 19.

[0026] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: When assembling the battery module, the battery base plate 3 is first installed onto the strip-shaped battery housing 1. Then, the battery cell 20 is placed inside the strip-shaped battery housing 1. The battery cell 20 slides down along the insulating support plate 4. When the battery cell 20 reaches the bottom, the buffer device 7 applies a buffering force to each battery cell 20. Under the pressure of the battery cell 20, the buffer device 7 is compressed to its limit position. Subsequently, the battery top cover 2 is installed onto the strip-shaped battery housing 1, and the relevant electrical components are connected with the battery cell 20. During the installation of the strip-shaped battery module onto the intelligent ball-collecting vehicle, quick assembly and disassembly can be performed simply by pressing the disassembly buckle 5, and the limiting block 6 provides a limit, ensuring the overall stability of the intelligent ball-collecting vehicle.

[0027] The above description is only the optimal solution embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model.
