Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery installation technology, specifically relating to a quick battery installation auxiliary mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of one or more electrochemical units. Batteries can be classified into different types according to their shape. Button batteries are one of the more common types. Button batteries are often installed in small electronic devices such as remote controls, car keys, and calculators. In the production process, button batteries are usually pre-installed before the small electronic devices leave the factory.

[0003] In existing technologies, the installation of button batteries in small electronic devices is usually done manually. This requires a person to hold the small electronic device with one hand and the button battery with the other, align it with the battery slot, and press it in. Manual installation is inefficient and it is difficult to align the button battery with the battery slot in one go. It may even require multiple alignments and presses, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple and reasonably designed quick battery installation auxiliary mechanism to solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A quick battery installation auxiliary mechanism includes a battery compartment containing a plurality of button batteries stacked inside. The battery compartment is equipped with an automatic installation mechanism for automatically installing the button batteries. A shell is fixedly fitted to the lower middle part of the battery compartment. The shell has a cavity inside. A support block is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the battery compartment. The side of the support block away from the battery compartment is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell. A positioning and alignment mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the shell 4.

[0007] The positioning and alignment mechanism includes two limiting blocks that are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer shell. A guide rod slides through the center of each limiting block. A stop block is fixedly connected to the top of each guide rod, and an installation block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod. A spring is sleeved around the guide rod and is positioned between the limiting block and the installation block. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of both installation blocks, and three arc-shaped positioning blocks are evenly fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing ring.

[0008] Preferably, a door is hinged to the top of the outer wall of the battery compartment.

[0009] Preferably, the automatic installation mechanism includes an inverted U-shaped arm that slides through the center of the top of the battery compartment. One end of the inverted U-shaped arm, located inside the battery compartment, is fixedly connected to a pressure block. The bottom of the pressure block is in contact with the top of the button battery. The other end of the inverted U-shaped arm slides through the right side of the top of the outer casing and is fixedly connected to a second rack. Two connecting rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring.

[0010] Preferably, a semi-circular plate is fixedly connected to the top of both connecting rods, a rack is fixedly connected to the top of the semi-circular plate, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the outer wall of the battery compartment, a fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and a spur gear is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the fixed shaft. The spur gear meshes with racks one and two respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the battery compartment has three mounting slots evenly distributed, and each of the three mounting slots is fixedly connected to a fixing pin. A one-way flipping claw is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the fixing pin, and coil springs are sleeved at both ends of the fixing pin. The fixed end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting slot, and the coiled end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the one-way flipping claw.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the one-way flipping claw is horizontal, the side of the top of the one-way flipping claw near the fixing pin is in contact with the top of the mounting groove, and the end of the top of the one-way flipping claw away from the fixing pin is in contact with the bottom of the button battery.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses three arc-shaped positioning blocks in the positioning and alignment mechanism to be fixed to the edge protrusion of the battery fixing slot. The triangular positioning is more stable and achieves rapid positioning. At this time, pressing down on the outer shell causes the arc-shaped positioning blocks and the fixing ring on them to move upward, which in turn causes the connecting rod and the semi-arc plate on it to move upward. Then, it drives the first rack to move upward, and under the transmission of the spur gear, it drives the second rack and the inverted U-shaped arm on it to move downward. Then, the pressure block squeezes the button battery downward, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the button battery. It has high working efficiency and simple operation.

Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A quick battery installation auxiliary mechanism includes a battery compartment 1, inside which several button batteries are stacked. An automatic installation mechanism 3 for automatically installing the button batteries is provided on the battery compartment 1. A shell 4 is fixedly fitted onto the lower middle part of the battery compartment 1. The shell 4 has a hollow interior. A support block 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the battery compartment 1. The side of the support block 6 away from the battery compartment 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 4. A positioning and alignment mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the shell 4. A door 2 is hinged to the top of the outer wall of the battery compartment 1. In use, the positioning and alignment mechanism 5 enables quick positioning, the automatic installation mechanism 3 enables quick installation of the button batteries, and the door 2 is used to open the battery compartment 1 for loading the button batteries.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning and alignment mechanism 5 includes two limiting blocks 56 symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the outer casing 4. A guide rod 54 slides through the center of each limiting block 56. A stop block is fixedly connected to the top of each guide rod 54, and an installation block 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each guide rod 54. A spring 55 is sleeved around the guide rod 54 and is positioned between the limiting block 56 and the installation block 53. A fixing ring 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both installation blocks 53. Three arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 are evenly fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing ring 51. The inner wall of the arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 is arc-shaped, and the three arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 form a triangular structure with strong stability. The inner wall of the three arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 fits against the outer wall of the protrusion at the top of the battery fixing slot, which facilitates rapid positioning.

[0023] Please see Figure 2The automatic installation mechanism 3 includes an inverted U-shaped arm 32 that slides through the center of the top of the battery compartment 1. One end of the inverted U-shaped arm 32 inside the battery compartment 1 is fixedly connected to a pressure block 31. The bottom of the pressure block 31 fits against the top of the button battery. The other end of the inverted U-shaped arm 32 slides through the right side of the top of the outer casing 4 and is fixedly connected to a second rack 34. Two connecting rods 39 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 51. The top of the two connecting rods 39 is fixedly connected to a semi-arc plate 38. The top of the semi-arc plate 38 is fixedly connected to a first rack 33. A mounting base 37 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the outer wall of the battery compartment 1. A fixed shaft 36 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 37. A spur gear 35 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the fixed shaft 36. The spur gear 35 meshes with the first rack 33 and the second rack 34 respectively. The automatic installation mechanism 3 realizes the rapid installation of the button battery.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the battery compartment 1 has three evenly spaced mounting slots 9, and each of the three mounting slots 9 is fixedly connected to a fixing pin 10. A one-way flipping claw 7 is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the fixing pin 10. A coil spring 8 is sleeved on both ends of the fixing pin 10. The fixed end of the coil spring 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting slot 9, and the coiled end of the coil spring 8 is fixedly connected to the one-way flipping claw 7. The top of the one-way flipping claw 7 is horizontal. The side of the top of the one-way flipping claw 7 closest to the fixing pin 10 is in contact with the top of the mounting slot 9, and the side of the top of the one-way flipping claw 7 away from the fixing pin 10 is in contact with the bottom of the button battery.

[0025] It should be noted that, in use of this quick battery installation auxiliary mechanism, first open the door 2 on the battery compartment 1, insert the button batteries into the battery compartment 1 in sequence, and close the door 2. In the initial state, under the action of the coil spring 8, the top of the one-way flipping claw 7 always remains in contact with the top of the mounting slot 9, thus supporting the button batteries. At the same time, the spring 55 is in an extended state, and the arc-shaped positioning block 52 extends from the bottom of the outer shell 4. At this time, the three arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 are in contact with the outer wall of the protruding top of the battery fixing slot, realizing the quick positioning of the device. Then, press down on the outer shell 4, which drives the arc-shaped positioning blocks 52 and the fixing ring 51 on them to move upward. The movement of the spring 55 causes the mounting block 53 and guide rod 54 to move upwards, compressing the spring 55. Simultaneously, it causes the connecting rod 39 and semi-arc plate 38 to move upwards, which in turn causes the first rack 33 to move upwards, thereby causing the spur gear 35 to rotate. At the same time, it causes the second rack 34 and its inverted U-shaped arm 32 to move downwards, which in turn causes the pressure block 31 to move downwards. The pressure block 31 squeezes the button battery past the one-way flipping claw 7 and installs it into the battery fixing slot, achieving rapid battery installation with high work efficiency. After installation, the outer shell 4 is released, and under the action of the spring 55 and the coil spring 8, the arc-shaped positioning block 52 and the one-way flipping claw 7 return to their original positions.

[0026] The embodiments described above are merely examples 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 this 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 modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
