When a child uses the remote, they might open the battery cover, remove the battery, and potentially swallow it. Therefore, this case was developed to eliminate this safety hazard and prevent children from accidentally swallowing batteries.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention includes a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This present invention is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0006] One of the main objectives of this invention is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and to provide an anti-tamper battery structure and electronic device that can effectively prevent children from easily prying off the battery while ensuring normal battery installation and removal.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
