Therefore, at least two power supply batteries 20 are arranged on both sides of the charging groove 11, and the length direction of the power supply battery 20 is consistent with the length direction of the charging groove 11, so that the overall size and shape of the charging box 100 are more regular. The number of power supply batteries 20 is set to at least two, which can not only improve the endurance charging capacity of the charging box 100 to meet the demand of charging the shooting device 200 outdoors, but also reduce the size of a single power supply battery 20 to reduce the occupied space of a single power supply battery 20, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the power supply battery 20 in the box body 10.

[0038] For example, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 The box body 10 comprises a front shell 12, a middle frame 13 and a rear shell 14, the middle frame 13 is connected to the rear shell 14, the front shell 12 is sleeved on the middle frame 13 and connected with the rear shell 14, and the charging groove 11 is arranged on the side of the front shell 12 away from the rear shell 14; the middle frame 13 is provided with two battery compartments 131, the two battery compartments 131 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the charging groove 11, the two battery compartments 131 are open towards the front shell 12, and the first battery and the second battery are respectively arranged in the two battery compartments 131.

[0039] The front shell 12 and the rear shell 14 enclose an overall inner cavity of the box body 10, and the middle frame 13 is installed in the inner cavity to fix and install elements such as the power supply battery 20. The side of the middle frame 13 facing the front shell 12 is concave with a matching groove corresponding to the charging groove 11, so that the part of the front shell 12 forming the charging groove 11 can be embedded in the matching groove. The power supply battery 20 is installed in the battery compartment 131 of the middle frame 13, which can protect the power supply battery 20 from being easily affected by external forces, thereby improving the installation stability of the power supply battery 20 in the box body 10. The battery compartment 131 is open towards the front shell 12, so when installing the power supply battery 20, the power supply battery 20 can be first installed in the middle frame 13 from the opening of the battery compartment 131, and then the front shell 12 is sleeved on the middle frame 13 to cover the opening of the battery compartment 131. In this way, the installation method of the power supply battery 20 can be simplified, and the installation convenience is improved.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main control board 30 is installed between the middle frame 13 and the rear shell 14, the battery compartment 131 is provided with a through hole 132 on the side wall close to the main control board 30, and the charging box 100 further comprises a conductive piece 50, one end of the conductive piece 50 is connected to the main control board 30, the other end passes through the through hole 132 and is connected to the power supply battery 20. There is enough space between the middle frame 13 and the rear shell 14, and the main control board 30 is installed between the middle frame 13 and the rear shell 14, so that the main control board 30 has enough area to install other electrical elements. The conductive piece 50 can be a flexible circuit board (FPC), the main control board 30 is provided with a charging circuit and a power supply circuit, and the conductive piece 50 can electrically connect the power supply battery 20 and the main control board 30, so that the main control board 30 can charge the power supply battery 20 through the charging circuit, and the power supply battery 20 can charge the shooting device 200 through the power supply circuit.

[0041] In actual application, as Figure 4As shown, the main control board 30 is provided with a through hole 31 opposite to the through hole 132, and the conductive piece 50 passes through the through hole 31 and is connected to one side of the main control board 30 facing the rear shell 14. Before the power supply battery 20 is installed in the battery compartment 131, the conductive piece 50 has been connected to the power supply battery 20 in advance, so that during the process of installing the power supply battery 20 into the battery compartment 131, only the other end of the conductive piece 50 needs to be pulled out of the through hole 132. After the power supply battery 20 is installed in place, during the assembly of the main control board 30, since the main control board 30 faces the through hole 132, if the conductive piece 50 pulled out of the through hole 132 is connected to the side of the main control board 30 facing the through hole 132, the conductive piece 50 is blocked by the main control board 30, which is not conducive to the operation of the assembly personnel. Therefore, by providing the through hole 31 on the main control board 30, during the assembly of the main control board 30, the conductive piece 50 can pass through the through hole 31, so that the other end of the conductive piece 50 is on the side of the main control board 30 away from the middle frame 13. In this way, the conductive piece 50 is not blocked by the main control board 30, so that after the main control board 30 is fixed, the assembly personnel can conveniently connect the conductive piece 50 to the side of the main control board 30 facing the rear shell 14, thereby reducing the connection difficulty of the conductive piece 50 and the main control board 30 and improving the assembly efficiency.
