[0030] 1 is an outer casing, and a battery compartment 2 is provided inside the outer casing 1;

[0031] The movable plate 8 is located inside the battery compartment 2. The movable plate 8 is designed to be separable from the outer shell 1. In order to limit the rotation of the movable plate 8, the movable plate 8 can be slidably engaged with the side wall of the battery compartment 2. Specifically, a slider can be integrally set on the side wall of the movable plate 8. A sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the battery compartment 2 for the slider to slide and engage. One end of the sliding groove is open so that the movable plate 8 can be separated from the outer shell 1.

[0032] The adjustable component, which can be detachably installed on the housing 1, is used to adjust the position of the movable plate 8 inside the battery compartment 2, thereby fixing lithium batteries of different lengths and sizes.

[0033] In use, the movable plate 8 is separated from the outer shell 1, a lithium battery is inserted into the battery compartment 2, and then the movable plate 8 is inserted. The position of the movable plate 8 is adjusted by adjusting the components to press the bottom of the lithium battery against the battery compartment 2, thereby fixing it in place. This method can fix lithium batteries of different lengths and sizes.

[0034] The adjusting component includes an internally threaded sleeve 12, one end of which is fixedly connected to the movable plate 8, and can be fixed by welding.

[0035] A threaded rod 11 is inserted into and threadedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 12 from the other end;

[0036] By rotating the threaded rod 11, the threaded rod 11 drives the inner threaded sleeve 12 to move, and the inner threaded sleeve 12 drives the movable plate 8 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 8 in the battery compartment 2.

[0037] Specifically, the adjustment component further includes:

[0038] End cap 9, which is detachably connected to one end of the outer casing 1, preferably by a threaded connection, is used to open or close the battery compartment 2. Removing end cap 9 makes it easier to take out or put in the battery.

[0039] A rotating plate 10 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 11. The rotating plate 10 is located outside the end cover 9. The end cover 9 has a through hole for the threaded rod 11 to pass through. The threaded rod 11 is rotatably connected to the end cover 9 and can be rotatably connected by a bearing.

[0040] The rotating plate 10 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate, and the movable plate 8 is removed by removing the end cover 9.

[0041] In this embodiment, the top of the outer casing 1 is provided with a first through hole 3 for the pins of the plug-in lithium battery to pass through.

[0042] Furthermore, the outer casing 1 is provided with a protective sleeve 4 at the end away from the end cap 9 to protect the pins of the plug-in lithium battery. The protective sleeve 4 is provided with a second through hole 5 for the pins to pass through.

[0043] Furthermore, the protective sleeve 4 is fitted onto the end of the outer shell 1 away from the end cap 9. Two annular grooves 7 are spaced apart on the side wall of the outer shell 1. A rubber ring 6 that mates with the two annular grooves 7 is fixed on the inner side wall of the protective sleeve 4 and can be fixed with glue. When it is necessary to protect the pin, the rubber ring 6 engages with one of the annular grooves 7 away from the end cap 9, and the pin is located inside the protective sleeve 4 and protected. When it is necessary to install the battery, the protective sleeve 4 is pressed down, so that the rubber ring 6 engages with one of the annular grooves 7 near the end cap 9, and the pin passes through the second through hole 5 and is located outside the protective sleeve 4, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the battery. Example 2

[0044] This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, such as... Figure 4As shown, it also includes a side positioning component for positioning the lithium battery from the side, further improving the stability of the lithium battery. The side positioning component includes curved elastic sheets 16 that are circumferentially spaced on the side wall of the battery compartment 2. An installation groove for accommodating the curved elastic sheets 16 can be opened in the side wall of the battery compartment 2. The top of the curved elastic sheet 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the battery compartment 2 and can be embedded and fixed. The curved elastic sheet 16 includes alternating protruding sections 14 and concave sections 15. The protruding sections 14 are used to abut and position the side wall of the lithium battery. A push block 13 is fixed on the side wall of the movable plate 8 and can be fixed integrally. The push block 13 is located in the installation groove and is used to abut the bottom end of the curved elastic sheet 16. When the lithium battery is installed, the movable plate 8 enters the battery compartment 2. When the movable plate 8 moves, it pushes the bottom end of the curved elastic sheet 16, causing the curved elastic sheet 16 to deform. Its protruding section 14 gradually abuts against the side wall of the lithium battery to position the side of the lithium battery, while also having a certain buffering effect and a certain protective effect.

[0045] In summary, this utility model provides a lithium battery structure, the usage of which is as follows:

[0046] In use, a lithium battery is inserted into the battery compartment 2, and then the movable plate 8 is inserted. By rotating the threaded rod 11, the threaded rod 11 drives the inner threaded sleeve 12 to move, and the inner threaded sleeve 12 drives the movable plate 8 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 8 in the battery compartment 2, pressing the bottom of the lithium battery against it to fix it in the battery compartment 2. This can fix lithium batteries of different lengths and sizes. At the same time, the movable plate 8 pushes the bottom end of the curved elastic sheet 16, causing the curved elastic sheet 16 to deform. Its protruding section 14 gradually presses against the side wall of the lithium battery to position the side of the lithium battery and also has a certain buffering effect. When it is necessary to protect the pin, the rubber ring 6 engages with an annular groove 7 away from the end cover 9, and the pin is located inside the protective sleeve 4 and is protected. When it is necessary to install the battery, press down the protective sleeve 4 so that the rubber ring 6 engages with an annular groove 7 near the end cover 9, and the pin passes through the second through hole 5 and is located outside the protective sleeve 4, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the battery.
