Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figures 1-9 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a battery box that facilitates battery replacement. The battery box includes a main component 100, including a bottom shell 101 and a top shell 102. The bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102 together constitute a backup UPS battery box. A control circuit 107 is provided inside the box and is movably connected to the top shell 102. A battery management system 108 is movably connected to the bottom shell 101. This is prior art, and this solution will not be described in detail. Moreover, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle. A mounting groove 103 is fixed on the bottom shell 101, and a battery 104 is disposed in the mounting groove 103.

[0033] The fixing component 200, located on the mounting slot 103, includes a fixing member 201. The fixing member 201 is designed to stably fix the battery 104 in the mounting slot 103, so as to prevent the battery 104 from shifting during operation and affecting the normal use of the standby UPS.

[0034] The fastener 201 includes a pressure plate 201a, which is located on one side of the mounting groove 103. The two work together to limit the position of the battery 104.

[0035] A locking block 201b is fixed on the pressure plate 201a, and a fixing block 201c is fixed on the mounting groove 103. The fixing block 201c has a slot 201c-1, and the locking block 201b can engage with the slot 201c-1. Through the cooperation of the two, the relative position of the pressure plate 201a and the mounting groove 103 can be locked, so that the battery 104 is located between the pressure plate 201a and the mounting groove 103. There are two sets of locking blocks 201b and fixing blocks 201c, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting groove 103.

[0036] When installing battery 104, first place battery 104 into mounting slot 103, then move pressure plate 201a onto battery 104 and adjust the position of pressure plate 201a so that locking block 201b is coaxial with slot 201c-1. Then, press pressure plate 201a against the upper surface of battery 104. At this time, locking block 201b is engaged with slot 201c-1, and battery 104 is located between pressure plate 201a and mounting slot 103.

[0037] As long as the bottom shell 101 is not inverted and is placed normally on the table, the card block 201b and the card slot 201c-1 are not easily separated. At this time, the operator can assemble or repair other mechanisms inside the standby UPS box.

[0038] The fixing component 200 also includes a locking element 202 located on one side of the card block 201b. The locking element 202 is used to lock the position of the card block 201b, thereby ensuring that the card block 201b and the card slot 201c-1 will not separate after they are engaged, thus ensuring the stability of the battery 104 installation. There are two sets of locking elements 202, each corresponding to one of the two card blocks 201b.

[0039] The locking component 202 includes a locking block 202a located on one side of the locking block 201b, and a moving block 202b is provided on one side of the locking block 202a. The moving block 202b is used to push the locking block 202a to move. A pressing block 202c is fixed inside the top shell 102. The pressing block 202c can contact the top of the moving block 202b. The pressing block 202c is used to push the pressing block 202c to move. A locking groove 201b-1 is provided on the locking block 201b. The locking block 202a can engage with the locking groove 201b-1.

[0040] When the top shell 102 and the bottom shell 101 are closed, the pressing block 202c will press the top of the moving block 202b, causing the moving block 202b to move closer to the locking block 202a, which in turn causes the locking block 202a to move towards the locking groove 201b-1, thereby locking the two together and restricting the movement of the locking block 201b, ensuring that the position of the battery 104 will not shift during the use of the standby UPS.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figures 1-9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0043] Specifically, the locking block 202a has a sloping groove 202a-1, and the bottom of the moving block 202b is inclined. The moving block 202b can contact the sloping groove 202a-1. When the moving block 202b moves towards the locking block 202a, the bottom slope of the moving block 202b will first contact and press the sloping groove 202a-1, thereby causing the locking block 202a to move towards the locking block 201b.

[0044] Specifically, a first auxiliary block 202d is fixed on the bottom shell 101. The first auxiliary block 202d has a first moving groove 202d-1. The first auxiliary block 202d is used to provide stable support for the locking block 202a. The locking block 202a slides in the first moving groove 202d-1. A first auxiliary plate 202e is fixed on one side of the locking block 202a. A first spring 202f is fixed on one side of the first auxiliary plate 202e. The other end of the first spring 202f is fixed on the bottom shell 101. The first spring 202f applies a continuous pulling force to the first auxiliary plate 202e to ensure that when the first spring 202f is in a relaxed state without other external forces, the end face of the locking block 202a will not enter the slot 201c-1, thereby avoiding affecting the engagement of the locking block 201b with the slot 201c-1.

[0045] A guide post 202j is fixed on the inner wall of the first moving groove 202d-1. A corresponding groove is opened on the first auxiliary plate 202e. The guide post 202j is inserted into the groove. Through the cooperation between the guide post 202j and the corresponding groove on the first auxiliary plate 202e, the locking block 202a can be moved smoothly in the first moving groove 202d-1.

[0046] Specifically, a second auxiliary block 202g is fixed on the bottom shell 101. A second moving groove 202g-1 is formed inside the second auxiliary block 202g. The second auxiliary block 202g is set to provide stable support for the moving block 202b and ensure the stability of the movement of the moving block 202b. The moving block 202b slides in the second moving groove 202g-1. A second auxiliary plate 202h is fixed on one side of the moving block 202b. A second spring 202i is fixed on the second auxiliary plate 202h. The other end of the second spring 202i is fixed to the inner wall of the second moving groove 202g-1. Through the setting of the second spring 202i, a continuous pushing force is applied to the second auxiliary plate 202h for the reset of the second auxiliary plate 202h and the moving block 202b.

[0047] In the initial state, the second spring 202i is in a relaxed state. At this time, the top of the moving block 202b will protrude from the upper surface of the bottom shell 101. As the bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102 are connected, the pressing block 202c will press the top of the moving block 202b, thereby compressing the second spring 202i. The moving block 202b moves towards the locking block 202a. Through the cooperation between the inclined groove 202a-1 and the bottom inclined surface of the moving block 202b, the first spring 202f extends, thereby locking the locking block 202a into the locking groove 201b-1, locking the position of the locking block 201b.

[0048] When the bottom shell 101 separates from the top shell 102, the pressing block 202c no longer presses the top of the moving block 202b, and the second spring 202i and the first spring 202f return to their original positions, thereby resetting the moving block 202b and the locking block 202a, and then separating the locking block 202a from the locking groove 201b-1. At this time, lifting the pressure plate 201a upwards will separate the locking block 201b from the locking groove 201c-1.

[0049] Specifically, a buffer pad 105 is fixed on the inner wall of the side of the mounting groove 103.

[0050] During UPS operation or when subjected to vibration, the battery may move around in the mounting slot, which may lead to loose battery connections or wear on the battery casing over time. The buffer pad 105 is designed to reduce vibration transmission.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Reference Figures 1-9 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0053] Specifically, the fixing component 200 also includes a removal component 203, located on one side of the mounting slot 103. After long-term use, the battery 104 may physically adhere to the buffer pad 105 inside the mounting slot 103. Furthermore, ventilation openings are provided on both the bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102, allowing external dust and impurities to enter the battery box through various gaps and accumulate inside the mounting slot 103, making it difficult to remove the battery 104. The removal component 203 allows the bottom of the mounting slot 103 to move upward, gently pushing the battery 104 out partially, thus facilitating the removal of the battery 104 and preventing damage to the battery 104 casing and the inner wall of the mounting slot 103 from violent disassembly.

[0054] The take-out component 203 includes a movable plate 203a located in the mounting slot 103. The movable plate 203a provides stable support for the battery 104. The movable plate 203a can move up and down in the mounting slot 103. A fixed plate 203b is fixed to one side of the movable plate 203a. A rotating shaft 203c is connected to the bottom bearing of the bottom shell 101. A spiral groove 203c-1 is opened on the rotating shaft 203c.

[0055] A support ring 203f is fitted on the rotating shaft 203c, and the other end of the support ring 203f is fixed on the mounting groove 103 to provide auxiliary support for the rotating shaft 203c.

[0056] Specifically, the fixing plate 203b is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 203c. The mounting groove 103 has a sliding groove 103-1 corresponding to the fixing plate 203b. The fixing plate 203b has a hole corresponding to the rotating shaft 203c. The slider 203d is fixed on the fixing plate 203b. The fixing plate 203b slides in the spiral groove 203c-1.

[0057] With the cooperation of slider 203d and spiral groove 203c-1, when the rotating shaft 203c rotates, slider 203d will move along spiral groove 203c-1, thereby causing fixed plate 203b to move vertically along the direction of rotating shaft 203c, and thus driving moving plate 203a to move vertically in mounting groove 103.

[0058] Specifically, a buffer pad 105 is also fixed on the movable plate 203a.

[0059] Specifically, a turntable 203e is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 203c. Rotating the turntable 203e can drive the rotating shaft 203c to rotate, thereby causing the movable plate 203a to move upward in the mounting slot 103. After the battery 104 is pushed out, the battery 104 is separated from the movable plate 203a. Then, the turntable 203e is released. Under the action of the gravity of the movable block 202b, the movable plate 203a moves downward and causes the turntable 203e to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotating shaft 203c. Finally, the bottom of the movable plate 203a is once again attached to the inner wall of the bottom shell 101, which is convenient for the next installation of the battery 104.

[0060] Two fixed plates 203b are fixed on the movable plate 203a. A rotating shaft 203c is inserted into one of the fixed plates 203b, and a sliding rod 203g is inserted into the other fixed plate 203b. The sliding rod 203g is designed to ensure the stability of the movable plate 203a in the mounting slot 103, and to ensure that the battery 104 can rise smoothly.

[0061] Specifically, the bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102 are connected by bolts 106.

[0062] There are four bolts 106. A fixing sleeve 101-1 is provided on the bottom shell 101. The fixing sleeve 101-1 has a thread inside. An mounting sleeve 102-1 is fixed on the top shell 102. The fixing sleeve 101-1 is connected to the mounting sleeve 102-1 through the engagement of the bolts 106 with the thread inside the fixing sleeve 101-1, thereby connecting the bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102. This is the prior art, and this solution will not be described in detail. Moreover, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the working principle.

[0063] When using the battery 104, first place the battery 104 into the mounting slot 103, then move the pressure plate 201a onto the battery 104 and adjust the position of the pressure plate 201a so that the locking block 201b is coaxial with the slot 201c-1. Then, press the pressure plate 201a against the upper surface of the battery 104. At this time, the locking block 201b is engaged with the slot 201c-1, and the battery 104 is located between the pressure plate 201a and the mounting slot 103.

[0064] Then, the top shell 102 and the bottom shell 101 are closed. The pressing block 202c will press the top of the moving block 202b, causing the moving block 202b to move closer to the locking block 202a. The bottom slope of the moving block 202b will first contact and press with the inclined groove 202a-1, thereby causing the locking block 202a to move towards the locking groove 201b-1, and then the two will engage, restricting the movement of the locking block 201b, and ensuring that the position of the battery 104 will not shift during the use of the standby UPS.

[0065] When the battery 104 needs to be replaced, the bottom shell 101 and the top shell 102 are separated. The pressing block 202c no longer presses the top of the moving block 202b. The second spring 202i and the first spring 202f return to their original positions, thereby resetting the moving block 202b and the locking block 202a. This causes the locking block 202a to separate from the locking groove 201b-1. At this time, the pressure plate 201a is lifted upwards, which separates the locking block 201b from the locking groove 201c-1. Then, the turntable 203e is rotated, which drives the rotating shaft 203c to rotate, causing the moving plate 203a to move upwards in the mounting groove 103. After the battery 104 is pushed out, the battery 104 is removed from the mounting groove 103.

[0066] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
