Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of filter technology, and more specifically, to a battery compartment locking assembly, a filter, and a water treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pre-filters, as the initial filtration device in whole-house water purification systems, play a preliminary filtering role in the tap water entering the room and are frequently used in daily life. However, traditional pre-filters involve a cumbersome battery compartment removal process when changing batteries, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least address the technical problem in the related art where the disassembly and installation of the battery compartment is cumbersome when replacing the battery with a pre-filter, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Therefore, the first aspect of this application provides a battery compartment locking assembly.

[0005] The second aspect of this application proposes a filter.

[0006] The third aspect of this application proposes a water treatment apparatus.

[0007] In view of this, this application provides a battery compartment locking assembly for use in a filter. The battery compartment locking assembly includes: a housing with a receiving cavity at the bottom of the housing having an opening at one end; a battery compartment disposed within the receiving cavity; a locking assembly connected to the housing, the locking assembly including a push rod and a lever, one end of the push rod passing through the housing and abutting against the battery compartment, and one end of the lever being connected to the push rod; and an unlocking button disposed at the bottom of the locking assembly, the unlocking button being connected to the other end of the lever, for pushing the lever to move the push rod when the unlocking button is pressed; when the unlocking button is in a first position, the push rod abuts against the battery compartment, and when the unlocking button is in a second position, the push rod separates from the battery compartment.

[0008] The battery compartment locking assembly provided in this application is used for a filter. The assembly includes a housing, a battery compartment, a locking component, and an unlocking button. The housing has an open-ended receiving cavity at its bottom, within which the battery compartment is housed. Specifically, the housing is a hollow structure with an opening at the bottom to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery compartment, allowing it to slide out and be inserted easily. The locking component is fixed to the housing and includes a push rod and a lever. One end of the push rod passes through the housing and abuts against the battery compartment, securing it within the receiving cavity. One end of the lever is connected to the push rod. Rotating the lever moves the push rod left and right along its axis, locking or unlocking the battery compartment.

[0009] The unlock button is located at the bottom of the locking assembly and is connected to the other end of the lever. When the unlock button is pressed, it pushes the lever, causing the push rod to move. Thus, when the unlock button is in the first position, the push rod abuts against and presses against the battery compartment, locking it securely within the receiving cavity. When the unlock button is in the second position, the push rod separates from the battery compartment, releasing it. Under gravity, the battery compartment slides out of the receiving cavity from the bottom opening of the housing, unlocking the battery compartment. This application utilizes the combination of the push rod, lever, and unlock button to achieve quick locking and unlocking of the battery compartment. Users do not need any tools; simply pressing the unlock button allows for easy opening of the battery compartment for battery replacement. The operation is simple and quick, greatly improving battery replacement efficiency and user experience, and solving the problems of cumbersome operation and poor user experience associated with traditional pre-filters when replacing batteries.

[0010] The battery compartment locking assembly according to the above-described technical solution of this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] In some technical solutions, the locking assembly may optionally include: a fixing plate connected to the housing, the fixing plate having a through hole, and the other end of the push rod passing through the through hole; an elastic element, the elastic element being sleeved on the push rod and located between the fixing plate and the housing; when the unlock button is in the first position, the elastic element is in a compressed state, and under the action of the pre-tightening force of the elastic element, the push rod abuts against the battery compartment.

[0012] In this technical solution, the locking assembly also includes a fixing plate and an elastic element. The fixing plate is connected to the housing and has a through hole through which the other end of the push rod passes, allowing the push rod to move stably with the support of the fixing plate. The elastic element is sleeved on the push rod and located between the fixing plate and the housing, providing preload to the push rod.

[0013] In some technical solutions, optionally, the top rod includes: a top shaft, one end of which passes through the housing and abuts against the battery compartment, and the other end of which passes through the through hole; a boss, which is disposed on the top shaft and located in the middle of the top shaft; an elastic element is sleeved on the top shaft, and one end of the elastic element abuts against the boss and the other end abuts against the fixing plate.

[0014] In this technical solution, the push rod includes a top shaft and a boss. One end of the top shaft passes through the housing and abuts against the battery compartment, directly pressing against the battery compartment to ensure it is securely fixed within the receiving cavity. The other end of the top shaft passes through a through hole in the fixing plate, allowing the push rod to move stably with the support of the fixing plate.

[0015] The boss is located in the middle of the top shaft, serving as a support and limiting element. The elastic element is sleeved on the top shaft, with one end abutting against the boss and the other end abutting against the fixing plate. In this way, when the elastic element is in a compressed state, it can apply a preload force to the top shaft towards the battery compartment through the boss, thereby ensuring that the top shaft can be tightly pressed against the battery compartment.

[0016] In some technical solutions, the top rod may optionally include a guide portion, which is disposed at one end of the top shaft near the battery compartment. The guide portion is used to push the top shaft to move when the battery compartment is installed in the receiving cavity, so that the battery compartment is inserted into the receiving cavity.

[0017] In this technical solution, the top rod also includes a guide section. This guide section is located at the end of the top shaft near the battery compartment. The main function of the guide section is to guide and push the battery compartment during its installation into the housing's receiving cavity.

[0018] In some technical solutions, the locking assembly may optionally include a pivot connected to the housing. One end of the paddle near the unlock button is fitted onto the pivot. When the unlock button is in the second position, the unlock button pushes one end of the paddle to rotate around the pivot, and the other end of the paddle causes the push rod to separate from the battery compartment.

[0019] In this technical solution, the locking assembly also includes a pivot. The pivot is connected to the housing and serves as support and a center of rotation. The end of the paddle near the unlock button is fitted onto the pivot, allowing the paddle to rotate around it.

[0020] In some technical solutions, the battery compartment optionally includes a compartment body and a compartment cover, with the compartment cover covering the compartment body, and the compartment body and the compartment cover enclosing a receiving compartment for placing batteries.

[0021] In this technical solution, the battery compartment includes a compartment body and a compartment cover. The compartment body, as the main structure of the battery compartment, provides a stable support and storage space. The compartment cover is placed on top of the compartment body and fits tightly with it to jointly enclose a closed storage compartment for placing the battery.

[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover is provided with a slot, and the position of the slot corresponds to the push rod; when the unlock button is in the first position, the push rod is locked in the slot and abuts against the battery compartment; when the unlock button is in the second position, the push rod moves out of the slot and separates from the battery compartment.

[0023] In this technical solution, the battery compartment cover is provided with a slot, the position of which corresponds to the top rod, ensuring that the top rod can be accurately engaged in the slot when locked, thereby achieving a stable lock on the battery compartment.

[0024] In some technical solutions, the hopper body and the hopper cover can optionally be detachably connected.

[0025] In this technical solution, the container body and the container cover are connected by a detachable connection, which provides users with greater flexibility and convenience.

[0026] According to a second aspect of this application, a filter is also proposed, comprising: a battery compartment locking assembly as described above, and a body; a base connected to the body, wherein the battery compartment locking assembly is disposed within the base.

[0027] The filter provided in this application has all the beneficial effects of the battery compartment locking component described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0028] In addition, the filter includes a body and a base, wherein the base is connected to the body, and the battery compartment locking assembly is located inside the base. In specific applications, the filter can be specifically configured as a pre-filter.

[0029] In some technical solutions, the filter may optionally include a drain outlet located at the bottom of the base for discharging filtered contaminants.

[0030] In this technical solution, the filter also includes a drain port. The drain port is located at the bottom of the base, allowing dirt deposited at the bottom of the filter during the filtration process to be easily discharged.

[0031] In some technical solutions, the filter may optionally include: a top cover, located on the top of the unit; a display screen, located on the unit below the top cover; a water inlet, located on one side of the unit for water intake; and a filter bottle, connected to the unit and located below the display screen for water filtration.

[0032] In this technical solution, the filter includes a battery compartment locking assembly, a body, a base, and a drain port, as well as a top cover, a display screen, a water inlet, and a filter bottle, making the filter more functional and easier to operate.

[0033] According to a third aspect of this application, a water treatment apparatus is also proposed, comprising: a filter as described above.

[0034] The water treatment device provided in this application includes the filter of the above-mentioned technical solution, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the filter, which will not be repeated here.

Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The following reference Figures 1 to 8 This application describes a battery compartment locking assembly 100, a filter 200, and a water treatment device 300 provided according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a water treatment device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a filter according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the battery compartment locking assembly in the filter of the embodiment shown; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the AA cross-sectional structure of the battery compartment locking assembly in the embodiment shown; Figure 5 for Figure 4 One of the schematic diagrams illustrating the state changes of the battery compartment locking assembly in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 6 for Figure 4 The second schematic diagram of the state change of the battery compartment locking component in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 7 for Figure 4 The third schematic diagram of the state change of the battery compartment locking component in the illustrated embodiment; Figure 8 for Figure 4 The fourth schematic diagram of the state changes of the battery compartment locking component in the illustrated embodiment.

[0051] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a battery compartment locking assembly 100, which is used for a filter 200. The battery compartment locking assembly 100 includes: a housing 110, with a receiving cavity 112 having an opening at one end at the bottom of the housing 110; a battery compartment 120 disposed within the receiving cavity 112; and a locking assembly 130 connected to the housing 110. The locking assembly 130 includes a push rod 132 and a lever 134, with one end of the push rod 132 passing through the housing 110 and engaging with the battery compartment. 120 abuts against each other, and one end of the paddle 134 is connected to the push rod 132; the unlock button 150 is located at the bottom of the locking assembly 130, and the other end of the unlock button 150 is connected to the paddle 134, which is used to push the paddle 134 to move the push rod 132 when the unlock button 150 is pressed; when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, the push rod 132 abuts against the battery compartment 120, and when the unlock button 150 is in the second position, the push rod 132 separates from the battery compartment 120.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery compartment locking assembly 100 provided in this application is used for the filter 200. The battery compartment locking assembly 100 includes a housing 110, a battery compartment 120, a locking assembly 130, and an unlocking button 150. The housing 110 has a receiving cavity 112 with an open end at its bottom, and the battery compartment 120 is disposed within the receiving cavity 112. That is, the housing 110 of the battery compartment locking assembly 100 has a hollow structure and an opening at the bottom to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery compartment 120, i.e., to facilitate the sliding out and insertion of the battery compartment 120. The locking assembly 130 is connected and fixed to the housing 110. The locking assembly 130 includes a push rod 132 and a lever 134, and one end of the push rod 132 passes through the housing 110 and abuts against the battery compartment 120 to press the battery compartment 120, thereby fixing the battery compartment 120 within the receiving cavity 112. One end of the paddle 134 is connected to the push rod 132. When the paddle 134 rotates, it can drive the push rod 132 to move left and right along the axis of the push rod 132, so that the push rod 132 presses against the battery compartment 120 or releases the battery compartment 120, thereby locking or unlocking the battery compartment 120.

[0053] like Figures 3 to 8As shown, the unlock button 150 is located at the bottom of the locking assembly 130, and the other end of the unlock button 150 is connected to the paddle 134. When the unlock button 150 is pressed, it pushes the paddle 134 to move the push rod 132. Thus, when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, the push rod 132 abuts against and presses against the battery compartment 120, locking the battery compartment 120 in place within the receiving cavity 112. When the unlock button 150 is in the second position, the push rod 132 separates from the battery compartment 120, releasing the battery compartment 120. Under the influence of gravity, the battery compartment 120 slides out of the receiving cavity 112 from the bottom opening of the housing 110, thus unlocking the battery compartment 120. This application utilizes the combination of the push rod 132, the paddle 134, and the unlock button 150 to achieve quick locking and unlocking of the battery compartment 120. Users do not need to use any tools; they can easily open the battery compartment 120 to replace the battery simply by pressing the unlock button 150. The operation is simple and quick, greatly improving the efficiency of battery replacement and user experience, and solving the problem of cumbersome operation and poor user experience when replacing batteries in traditional pre-filters.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, it can be understood that the unlock button 150 is in its original position when it is not under pressure, or at position M when it is in its original state. When the unlock button 150 is in the second position, it can be understood that the unlock button 150 is in the position after being pressed when it is under pressure, or at position N when it is in the pressed state.

[0055] Specifically, in related technologies, pre-filters, as the front-end filtration device in a whole-house water purification system, play a preliminary filtration role in the tap water entering the room and are frequently used in daily life. Traditional pre-filters require tools to remove the battery compartment before replacing the batteries. Each time the batteries are replaced, tools are needed to open the cover locking the battery compartment, remove the compartment, replace the batteries, and then put the compartment back into the sealed housing. This cumbersome battery compartment removal process leads to a poor user experience.

[0056] This application addresses this issue, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, this application proposes a battery compartment locking assembly 100 design, which aims to simplify the replacement steps of the battery compartment 120 in the filter 200 and improve the user experience.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the battery compartment locking assembly 100 of this application includes a housing 110. The bottom of the housing 110 has an open receiving cavity 112 for accommodating the battery compartment 120. The battery compartment 120 can easily slide into or out of this receiving cavity 112, facilitating battery replacement by the user. The top of the housing 110 has a power output port 160, through which the battery inside the battery compartment 120 is electrically connected to the external components of the housing 110. A locking assembly 130 is connected to the housing 110 and includes a push rod 132 and a lever 134. One end of the push rod 132 passes through the housing 110 and abuts against the battery compartment 120, thus securing the battery compartment 120 and ensuring that it will not accidentally slide out during normal operation. One end of the paddle 134 is connected to the push rod 132. When the paddle 134 is rotated by an external force, it can drive the push rod 132 to move left and right along the axis of the push rod 132, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking function of the battery compartment 120.

[0058] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the battery compartment locking assembly 100 also includes an unlock button 150, which is located at the bottom of the locking assembly 130 and connected to the other end of the lever 134. The user can easily open the battery compartment 120 by lightly pressing the unlock button 150, which pushes the lever 134 to move the push rod 132, separating the push rod 132 from the battery compartment 120 for easy battery replacement. When the unlock button 150 is in the first position (unpressed), the push rod 132 abuts against and presses against the battery compartment 120, ensuring the battery compartment 120 is securely fixed within the receiving cavity 112. When the unlock button 150 is pressed to the second position, the push rod 132 separates from the battery compartment 120, and the battery compartment 120 automatically slides out of the receiving cavity 112 from the bottom opening of the housing 110 under gravity, achieving quick unlocking of the battery compartment 120.

[0059] This application achieves rapid locking and unlocking of the battery compartment 120 through the locking and unlocking structure in the battery compartment locking component 100, which greatly simplifies the battery replacement process and improves the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the locking assembly 130 also includes: a fixing plate 136 connected to the housing 110, the fixing plate 136 having a through hole 142, and the other end of the push rod 132 passing through the through hole 142; an elastic member 138, which is sleeved on the push rod 132 and located between the fixing plate 136 and the housing 110; when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, the elastic member 138 is in a compressed state, and under the action of the pre-tightening force of the elastic member 138, the push rod 132 abuts against the battery compartment 120.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking assembly 130 also includes a fixing plate 136 and an elastic element 138. The fixing plate 136 is connected to the housing 110 and has a through hole 142. The other end of the push rod 132 passes through the through hole 142, allowing the push rod 132 to move stably with the support of the fixing plate 136. The elastic element 138 is sleeved on the push rod 132 and located between the fixing plate 136 and the housing 110, providing preload to the push rod 132.

[0062] Specifically, when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, i.e., in the unpressed state, the elastic element 138 is in a compressed state. Due to the pre-tightening force of the elastic element 138, the push rod 132 is pushed firmly against the battery compartment 120, ensuring that the battery compartment 120 is securely locked within the receiving cavity 112. This not only improves the stability of the battery compartment 120 but also makes the unlocking process smoother, as the user only needs to overcome the pre-tightening force of the elastic element 138 to easily unlock the battery compartment 120.

[0063] Specifically, when the battery needs to be replaced, the user simply presses the unlock button 150. The unlock button 150 will push the lever 134 to rotate, which in turn moves the push rod 132 away from the battery compartment 120. As the push rod 132 moves, the elastic element 138 will gradually release its preload until the push rod 132 is completely separated from the battery compartment 120. At this time, the battery compartment 120 can automatically slide out of the receiving cavity 112 from the bottom opening of the housing 110 under the action of gravity, and the user can easily replace the battery. The whole process does not require any tools, is simple and quick to operate, and greatly improves the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the top rod 132 includes: a top shaft 140, one end of which passes through the housing 110 and abuts against the battery compartment 120, and the other end of which passes through the through hole 142; a boss 144, which is disposed on the top shaft 140 and located in the middle of the top shaft 140; and an elastic member 138 sleeved on the top shaft 140, with one end of the elastic member 138 abutting against the boss 144 and the other end abutting against the fixing plate 136.

[0065] Specifically, the push rod 132 includes a push shaft 140 and a boss 144. One end of the push shaft 140 passes through the housing 110 and abuts against the battery compartment 120, directly pressing against the battery compartment 120 to ensure that the battery compartment 120 is securely fixed within the receiving cavity 112. The other end of the push shaft 140 passes through a through hole 142 in the fixing plate 136, allowing the push rod 132 to move securely with the support of the fixing plate 136.

[0066] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the boss 144 is located in the middle of the top shaft 140, serving as a support and limiting element. The elastic element 138 is sleeved on the top shaft 140, with one end abutting against the boss 144 and the other end abutting against the fixing plate 136. Thus, when the elastic element 138 is in a compressed state, it can apply a preload force to the top shaft 140 via the boss 144, pressing it towards the battery compartment 120, thereby ensuring that the top shaft 140 can tightly abut against the battery compartment 120.

[0067] Specifically, when the unlock button 150 is pressed, it pushes the lever 134 to rotate, which in turn moves the top shaft 140 away from the battery compartment 120. As the top shaft 140 moves, the boss 144 also moves, gradually releasing the preload of the elastic element 138. When the top shaft 140 is completely separated from the battery compartment 120, the battery compartment 120 can automatically slide out of the receiving cavity 112 from the bottom opening of the housing 110 under the action of gravity. At this time, the user can easily replace the battery. Due to the design of the boss 144, the preload of the elastic element 138 can be more evenly distributed on the top shaft 140, thereby improving the stability and durability of the push rod 132.

[0068] Furthermore, this design makes the installation and removal of the top rod 132 and the elastic element 138 much easier. Users can easily remove the elastic element 138 for replacement or repair simply by pulling the top shaft 140 out of the through hole 142 in the fixing plate 136. This modular design not only improves the maintainability of the components but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0069] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the top rod 132 also includes a guide portion 146, which is disposed at one end of the top shaft 140 near the battery compartment 120. When the battery compartment 120 is installed in the receiving cavity 112, the guide portion 146 pushes the top shaft 140 to move so that the battery compartment 120 is inserted into the receiving cavity 112.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the top rod 132 also includes a guide portion 146. The guide portion 146 is located at one end of the top shaft 140 near the battery compartment 120. The main function of the guide portion 146 is to guide and push the battery compartment 120 during installation into the receiving cavity 112 of the housing 110.

[0071] Specifically, when the user replaces the battery and needs to insert the battery compartment 120 into the receiving cavity 112 of the housing 110, the edge structure of the battery compartment 120 will first contact the guide portion 146. As the battery compartment 120 continues to be inserted, the guide portion 146 will be subjected to a backward thrust, that is, a thrust relative to the moving direction of the push rod 132. This thrust will be transmitted along the top shaft 140 to the entire locking assembly 130. In this process, the guide portion 146 plays a guiding role, ensuring that the battery compartment 120 can be smoothly inserted into the receiving cavity 112 along the correct path, avoiding jamming or damage caused by incorrect insertion direction.

[0072] Simultaneously, due to the design of the guide section 146, when the battery compartment 120 is fully inserted into the receiving cavity 112, it pushes the top shaft 140 to a specific position, which is typically the position where the top rod 132 can tightly abut against the battery compartment 120 and lock the battery compartment 120. During this process, the elastic element 138, such as a spring, is further compressed, thereby providing sufficient preload to the top rod 132 to ensure a secure lock of the battery compartment 120.

[0073] Therefore, the guide section 146 not only improves the convenience and accuracy of installing the battery compartment 120, but also further enhances the reliability and durability of the locking assembly 130. This makes the entire battery compartment locking assembly 100 more complete in design and function, providing users with a superior user experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 130 also includes a rotating shaft 148, which is connected to the housing 110. One end of the paddle 134 near the unlock button 150 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 148. When the unlock button 150 is in the second position, the unlock button 150 pushes one end of the paddle 134 to rotate around the rotating shaft 148, and the other end of the paddle 134 drives the push rod 132 to separate from the battery compartment 120.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 130 also includes a pivot 148. The pivot 148 is connected to the housing 110 and serves as a support and rotation center. The end of the paddle 134 near the unlock button 150 is fitted onto the pivot 148, meaning the paddle 134 can rotate around the pivot 148.

[0076] Specifically, when the unlock button 150 is pressed to the second position, it directly pushes one end of the lever 134 to rotate around the pivot 148. This rotation further drives the other end of the lever 134, the end connected to the push rod 132, to move. Since the lever 134 and the push rod 132 are connected, the movement of the lever 134 directly causes the push rod 132 to move. During this process, the push rod 132 gradually disengages from the battery compartment 120, thereby releasing the lock on the battery compartment 120. This makes the unlocking process very intuitive and simple. The user only needs to press the unlock button 150 to unlock the battery compartment 120 by rotating the lever 134 and moving the push rod 132. The entire process requires no complicated operations or tools, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of use.

[0077] Furthermore, due to the design of the pivot 148, the rotation of the lever 134 becomes more stable and controllable. This not only reduces misoperation caused by the lever 134 wobbling, but also improves the durability and reliability of the entire locking assembly 130.

[0078] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the battery compartment 120 includes a compartment body 122 and a compartment cover 124. The compartment cover 124 covers the compartment body 122, and the compartment body 122 and the compartment cover 124 enclose a receiving compartment 126 for placing batteries.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the battery compartment 120 includes a compartment body 122 and a compartment cover 124. The compartment body 122 serves as the main structure of the battery compartment 120, providing a stable support and storage space. The compartment cover 124 covers the compartment body 122 and fits tightly with the compartment body 122 to jointly enclose a closed storage compartment 126 for placing batteries.

[0080] Specifically, the compartment 122 typically has an opening that is exposed when the cover 124 is not closed, allowing the user to insert or remove the battery. The cover 124 is connected to the compartment 122 via a detachable connection, such as a snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, or magnetic connection, to ensure that the cover 124 can be securely closed on the compartment 122 during normal use, preventing the battery from accidentally falling off or being damaged.

[0081] Furthermore, the tight fit between the compartment body 122 and the compartment cover 124 prevents dust, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the storage compartment 126 and damaging the battery. It also facilitates the opening and closing of the compartment cover 124, enhancing ease of use.

[0082] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figures 4 to 8As shown, the cover 124 is provided with a slot 128, and the position of the slot 128 corresponds to the push rod 132. When the unlock button 150 is in the first position, the push rod 132 is locked in the slot 128 and abuts against the battery compartment 120. When the unlock button 150 is in the second position, the push rod 132 moves out of the slot 128 and separates from the battery compartment 120.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the cover 124 is provided with a slot 128, the position of which corresponds to the push rod 132, ensuring that the push rod 132 can be accurately inserted into the slot 128 in the locked state, thereby achieving a stable lock on the battery compartment 120.

[0084] Specifically, when the unlock button 150 is in the first position, i.e., the locked state, one end of the push rod 132 passes through the housing 110 and engages with the slot 128 on the cover 124. Simultaneously, the preload of the elastic element 138 abuts against the battery compartment 120, thus locking the battery compartment 120. This design not only improves the stability of the lock but also effectively prevents the battery compartment 120 from accidentally falling off under the influence of external factors such as vibration or impact.

[0085] When the battery compartment 120 needs to be unlocked, the user simply presses the unlock button 150 to the second position. At this time, the unlock button 150 pushes the lever 134 to rotate around the pivot 148, thereby causing the push rod 132 to move out of the slot 128 and separate from the battery compartment 120. As the push rod 132 moves out, the locked state of the battery compartment 120 is released, and the user can easily remove the battery compartment 120 from the housing 110 or insert a new battery compartment 120.

[0086] This not only makes the unlocking process simple and intuitive, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of use. At the same time, the precise fit between the slot 128 and the push rod 132, as well as the pre-tightening force of the elastic element 138, improves the stability and reliability of the entire locking assembly 130 in the locked state.

[0087] In some embodiments, optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the compartment body 122 and the compartment cover 124 are detachably connected.

[0088] Specifically, the compartment body 122 and the compartment cover 124 are connected by a detachable connection, which provides users with greater flexibility and convenience.

[0089] Specifically, the detachable connection means that the compartment body 122 and the compartment cover 124 can be connected and separated using screws, clips, magnets, etc. This allows users to easily open and close the compartment cover 124 without damaging the battery compartment 120 structure, thus facilitating convenient access to and replacement of the battery.

[0090] In addition, the detachable connection method has the following advantages: Easy maintenance: Since the battery compartment 120 body 122 and the cover 124 can be separated, users can more easily clean and inspect the internal structure of the battery compartment 120, ensuring it is in good working order. Easy upgrades: If users need a larger battery capacity or more advanced battery technology, they can easily upgrade the battery compartment 120 by replacing the battery compartment 122 or cover 124 with different specifications or functions. Improved durability: In some cases, if the battery compartment 122 or cover 124 is damaged, users can replace only the damaged part instead of the entire battery compartment 120, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving the overall system durability.
