The battery cover can be locked and unlocked by moving the locking component, which is convenient and simple to operate.
[0006] In one optional embodiment, the locking member includes a first main body and a second main body, the first main body and the second main body are connected and set at a predetermined included angle to form a locking angle on the side facing the fixing member and an abutment angle on the side facing the guide surface. In the locked position, the fixing member is inserted into the locking angle and abuts against the first main body and the second main body simultaneously. In the unlocked position, the abutment angle abuts against the guide surface.
[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the locking assembly further includes a sliding structure, a sliding compartment is formed within the housing, the sliding compartment is disposed adjacent to the battery compartment, the sliding structure is slidably disposed within the sliding compartment, and the locking fastener is disposed on the side of the sliding structure near the battery cover.
[0008] Beneficial effects: By setting a sliding compartment, the locking position between the latch and the fixing part is located inside the housing, preventing the latch from being hit by external objects when it is in the locked position, and preventing the battery cover from being accidentally unlocked.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, the push block is provided with an anti-slip texture.
[0011] Beneficial effects: By setting anti-slip texture on the push block, the roughness of the contact surface of the push block is effectively increased, thereby improving the friction between the hand and the push block, making it easier to push the push block.
[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the locking assembly further includes an elastic element, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the housing and the sliding structure, the elastic element being adapted to provide an elastic force to the latching member to transfer from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0013] Beneficial effects: By setting up an elastic element, when the sliding structure slides in the first direction to unlock, the elastic element stores elastic potential energy. When the sliding structure slides in the first direction in the opposite direction, the elastic element releases elastic potential energy, providing the sliding structure with an elastic force to slide in the first direction in the opposite direction, so as to facilitate the sliding structure to slide quickly in the first direction in the opposite direction. At the same time, in the absence of external force, the setting of the elastic element prevents the locking element from disengaging from the fixing element, and prevents the locking element from being accidentally unlocked.
[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the sliding structure has a protruding post, the elastic element is a spring, one end of the spring is sleeved on the protruding post, and the other end of the spring is connected to the housing.
[0015] Beneficial effect: By setting a protruding post, one end of the spring is guided, preventing the spring from bending and failing during compression.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0031] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a battery lock is provided, comprising: a housing 10, a battery cover 20, and a locking assembly 30. A battery compartment 11 is formed within the housing 10, extending through one side of the housing 10 to form a hatch, and the battery compartment 11 is adapted to install a battery 40. The battery cover 20 includes a cover body 21, a fixing member 22, and a push-out member 23. The fixing member 22 and the push-out member 23 are spaced apart along a first direction and are located on the same side of the cover body 21. The cover body 21 is adapted to cover the hatch. The side of the push-out member 23 near the fixing member 22 is a guide surface 231. The guide surface 231 is inclined relative to the first direction, and the end of the guide surface 231 away from the battery compartment 11 is closer to the guide surface 231. The battery compartment 11 is located near the fixing member 22 at one end; the locking assembly 30 is reciprocally slidably disposed on the housing 10 along a first direction. The locking assembly 30 includes a latch 31, which has a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the latch 31 abuts against the fixing member 22 and locks, and the battery cover 20 covers the hatch. In the unlocked position, the latch 31 abuts against the guide surface 231, and at least part of the battery cover 20 is disengaged from the battery compartment 11. The latch 31 is adapted to switch between the locked position and the unlocked position and is adapted to slide against the guide surface 231.
[0033] Using the battery lock of this embodiment, when the locking component 30 is slid forward along the first direction, the locking fastener 31 slides against the guide surface 231 of the ejector 23. Under the influence of the pushing force of the locking fastener 31, the battery cover 20 moves upward and unlocks. When the locking component 30 is slid backward along the first direction, the locking fastener 31 separates from the guide surface 231 of the ejector 23. Under the influence of gravity, the battery cover 20 moves downward and the locking fastener 31 abuts against the fixing member 22 to lock, thus locking the battery cover 20. The locking and unlocking of the battery cover 20 can be achieved by moving the locking component 30, which is convenient and simple to operate.
[0034] It should be noted that the direction from the fixing member 22 to the ejector member 23 is the positive direction of the first direction, and the direction from the ejector member 23 to the fixing member 22 is the negative direction of the first direction.
[0035] For details, please refer to Figure 5 When the locking element 31 is in the locked position, the locking element 31 abuts against the fixing element 22; please refer to Figure 6 When the locking element 31 is in the unlocked position, the locking element 31 slides against the guide surface 231 of the ejector 23.
[0036] Specifically, when the locking fastener 31 is in the locked position, part of the cover 21 is embedded in the battery compartment 11.
[0037] It should be noted that when the locking member 31 slides in the positive direction of the first direction, the locking member 31 slides against the guide surface 231. The locking member 31 applies a positive force in the first direction and a vertical upward force in the thickness direction of the battery cover 20 to the ejector member 23. Due to the influence of the battery compartment 11 wall, the cover 21 cannot move in the positive direction of the first direction. Therefore, the ejector member 23 drives the cover 21 to move away from the battery compartment 11, and the battery cover 20 is unlocked.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 31 includes a first main body 311 and a second main body 312. The first main body 311 and the second main body 312 are connected and set at a predetermined angle to form a locking angle 313 on the side facing the fixing member 22 and an abutment angle 314 on the side facing the guide surface 231. In the locked position, the fixing member 22 is inserted into the locking angle 313 and simultaneously abuts against the first main body 311 and the second main body 312. In the unlocked position, the abutment angle 314 abuts against the guide surface 231.
[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 7 The first main body 311 and the second main body 312 are connected at 90°. The locking angle 313 is a right angle. Correspondingly, the end of the fixing member 22 near the ejector member 23 has a right angle structure. When the locking member 31 is in the locked position, the right angle structure of the fixing member 22 is embedded in the locking angle 313. The fixing member 22 abuts against the first main body 311 and the second main body 312 respectively, thereby realizing that the fixing member 22 abuts against the locking member 31 in two directions and realizing the locking of the battery cover 20.
[0040] For details, please refer to Figure 7 The locking angle 313 is provided on the first main body 311.
[0041] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, an embedding groove can be provided in the locking member 31. When the locking member 31 is in the locked position, part of the structure of the fixing member 22 is embedded in the embedding groove. The battery cover 20 is locked by the friction between the fixing member 22 and the groove wall of the embedding groove.
[0042] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the latch angle 313 is the same as the tilt angle of the guide surface 231 to reduce wear between the latch angle 313 and the guide surface 231 when the battery cover 20 is unlocked.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the locking assembly 30 also includes a sliding structure 32. A sliding compartment 12 is formed inside the housing 10. The sliding compartment 12 is adjacent to the battery compartment 11. The sliding structure 32 is slidably disposed within the sliding compartment 12. The locking member 31 is disposed on the side of the sliding structure 32 near the battery cover 20. By providing the sliding compartment 12, the locking member 31 is positioned inside the housing 10 to abut and lock against the fixing member 22, preventing the locking member 31 from being struck by external objects when in the locked position and preventing the battery cover 20 from being accidentally unlocked.
[0044] Specifically, in the locked position, the sliding structure 32 slides to the first end of the sliding compartment 12, and in the unlocked position, the sliding structure 32 slides to the second end of the sliding compartment 12.
[0045] In other alternative embodiments, the sliding structure 32 can also be slidably disposed on the outside of the housing 10. However, when the sliding structure 32 is disposed on the outside of the housing 10, the locking member 31 is easily subject to accidental collision when in the locked position, which may lead to accidental unlocking of the battery cover 20, posing a certain safety hazard. Therefore, it is preferable to place the locking member 31 and the fixing member 22 in the position of abutting and locking inside the housing 10.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sliding structure 32 includes a push block 321 and a slider 322. The push block 321 is connected to the slider 322. A sliding groove is formed on the housing 10. The sliding groove is connected to the sliding chamber 12. The slider 322 is slidably disposed in the sliding chamber 12. The locking member 31 is disposed on the slider 322. The push block 321 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.
[0047] Specifically, by pushing the pusher block 321, the slider 322 is moved, which in turn drives the locking element 31 to slide within the sliding chamber 12.
[0048] It is worth noting that by setting a sliding groove, the sliding block 321 is guided to slide, which facilitates the sliding of the sliding block 321.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the push block 321 is provided with anti-slip texture 323. By providing anti-slip texture 323 on the push block 321, the roughness of the contact surface of the push block 321 is effectively increased, thereby improving the friction between the hand and the push block 321, making it easier to push the push block 321.
[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the locking assembly 30 also includes an elastic element 33. The two ends of the elastic element 33 are connected to the housing 10 and the sliding structure 32, respectively. The elastic element 33 is adapted to provide an elastic force to the locking member 31 to transfer from the unlocked position to the locked position. By providing the elastic element 33, when the sliding structure 32 slides in the forward direction of the first direction to unlock, the elastic element 33 stores elastic potential energy. When the sliding structure 32 slides in the reverse direction of the first direction, the elastic element 33 releases the elastic potential energy, providing an elastic force for the sliding structure 32 to slide in the reverse direction of the first direction, so that the sliding structure 32 can slide quickly in the reverse direction of the first direction. Simultaneously, in the absence of external force, the elastic element 33 prevents the locking member 31 from disengaging from the fixing member 22, thus preventing the locking member 31 from accidentally unlocking.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the sliding structure 32 slides to unlock in the first direction, the elastic element 33 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the sliding structure 32 slides in the first direction in the opposite direction, the compressed elastic element 33 rebounds, providing the sliding structure 32 with an elastic force for sliding in the first direction in the opposite direction.
[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a protruding post 34 is formed on the sliding structure 32, and the elastic element 33 is a spring. One end of the spring is sleeved on the protruding post 34, and the other end of the spring is connected to the housing 10. By setting the protruding post 34, one end of the spring is guided to prevent the spring from bending and failing during compression.
[0053] It should be noted that when the spring is directly connected to the sliding structure 32, the spring may bend during the compression process, causing the spring to lose its elasticity.
[0054] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the elastic element 33 can also be other elastic structures such as a rubber sleeve.
[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pin 211 protrudes from the side of the cover 21 away from the fixing member 22. Correspondingly, a slot is provided on the housing 10, and the pin 211 is suitable for insertion into the slot.
[0056] It should be noted that when the locking element 31 is in the locked position, the pin 211 is inserted into the slot. When the locking element 31 is in the unlocked position, the pin 211 is lifted upwards along with the battery cover 20, and part of the pin 211 is disengaged from the slot.
[0057] In other alternative embodiments, the side of the cover 21 away from the fastener 22 may also be hinged to the housing 10.
[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there are multiple fixing parts 22, ejector parts 23, and locking parts 31. Each fixing part 22 corresponds to one ejector part 23, and each locking part 31 corresponds to one fixing part 22 and one ejector part 23. By setting multiple fixing parts 22, ejector parts 23, and locking parts 31, the stability and reliability of the battery cover 20's unlocking and locking are ensured.
[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 There are two of each of the following components: the fixing component 22, the ejector component 23, and the locking component 31.
[0060] In other alternative embodiments, the number of fasteners 22, ejectors 23 and locking elements 31 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, for example, three, four, etc.
[0061] It should be noted that when there is one of each of the fixing part 22, the ejector part 23, and the locking part 31, if the locking part 31 fails, the battery cover 20 will not be able to be locked. When there are multiple of each of the fixing part 22, the ejector part 23, and the locking part 31, if any one of the locking parts 31 fails, the battery cover 20 can still be locked by the other working locking parts 31.
[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides an electronic device, including: the aforementioned battery lock, battery 40, and power connection structure 50. Please refer to... Figure 2 Battery 40 is located inside battery compartment 11; power connection structure 50 is connected to battery 40, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The cover 21 has a clearance groove 212, and part of the power connection structure 50 passes through the clearance groove 212 and is embedded in the battery compartment 11.
[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
