[0002] With the widespread use of portable electronic devices and energy storage systems, the connection structure of battery packs needs to simultaneously meet the requirements of high reliability of electrical connections, stability of mechanical structures, and ease of operation. Traditional battery connection methods mainly rely on single mechanical clips or magnetic connections, which have obvious drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Mechanical snap-fit ​​connection: Although it can provide a certain degree of structural stability, it is prone to poor contact due to wear during long-term use, and precise alignment is required during assembly, which is inconvenient.

[0004] 2. Magnetic connection: Although convenient for quick insertion and removal, the magnetic force is limited and it is easily loosened under vibration or external force, leading to interruption of the electrical connection.

[0005] In existing technologies, some solutions attempt to combine mechanical snap-fit ​​and magnetic structures, but do not have an independent electrode insertion structure, resulting in insufficient electrical connection reliability; traditional mechanical snap-fit ​​structures usually require complex operations, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient production and users to quickly replace batteries.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-connection battery structure that can simultaneously improve mechanical stability, electrical connection reliability, and ease of operation. Utility Model Content

[0037] The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of this utility model are described in conjunction with the appendix below. Figure 1-5 The detailed description of the embodiments will clearly demonstrate this. All structural details mentioned in the following embodiments are based on the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1: A dual connection structure for batteries includes multiple battery groups 1. Adjacent batteries 1 are dually connected via a magnetic attraction component 2, a mechanical snap-fit ​​component 3, and an electrode insertion structure 4. The structure is as follows:

[0040] Battery body structure: Each battery 1 consists of an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 that are interlocked.

[0041] The upper housing 11 is provided with a battery connection female head 13, and the lower housing 12 is provided with a battery connection male head 14 that mates with the battery connection female head 13. Both are made of anti-oxidation metal material, and the inner wall of the female head is provided with an elastic conductive sheet to ensure reliable conductivity.

[0042] Magnetic component 2: A first magnetic piece 21 is embedded in the top of the upper housing 11, and a second magnetic piece 22 is embedded in the corresponding position at the bottom of the lower housing 12. The first magnetic piece 21 and the second magnetic piece 22 are permanent magnets with opposite magnetic poles on opposite sides, and the battery is initially positioned by magnetic attraction.

[0043] Mechanical snap-fit ​​component 3:

[0044] Guide component 31: Limiting frame 311 is fixed inside battery 1, and limiting block 312 is slidably arranged inside the limiting frame. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the locking block 32.

[0045] The connecting member 313 is hinged to the center of the limiting block 312. The connecting member 313 is provided with a first limiting block 316, and the limiting block 312 is provided with a second limiting block 317. They cooperate with the first limiting groove 314 and the second limiting groove 315 on the limiting frame. The first limiting groove 314 is an inverted L-groove, and the second limiting groove 315 is an upright L-groove. The bottom of both the first limiting groove 314 and the second limiting groove 315 is open. The first limiting block 316 and the second limiting block 317 are both cylindrical. The first limiting block 316 and the second limiting block 317 slide in the first limiting groove 314 and the second limiting groove 315.

[0046] A spring 318 is provided between one end of the connecting member 313 and the inner wall of the lower housing 12, and the other end extends to the outside of the battery to form a handle 319.

[0047] Snap-fit ​​engagement: The snap-fit ​​blocks 32 of adjacent batteries 1 are correspondingly set with the snap-fit ​​slots 33. In the first step, by pressing the handle 319, the connecting member 313 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 318. Under the action of the first limiting groove 314 and the second limiting groove 315, the connecting member 313 and the limiting block 312 are driven to slide on the limiting frame 311. At this time, the hook part of the snap-fit ​​block 32 of the adjacent battery 1 is disengaged from the snap-fit ​​slot 33. In the second step, it slides along the height direction of the first limiting groove 314 or the second limiting groove 315. The connecting member 313 rotates along the hinge point of the limiting block 312 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 318, lifting the limiting block 312 upward, so that the snap-fit ​​block 32 of the adjacent battery 1 is completely disengaged from the snap-fit ​​slot 33, realizing the rapid separation and connection of the battery pack.

[0048] Electrode insertion structure 4: Electrode pins 41 and electrode holes 42 are respectively provided on opposite sides of adjacent batteries 1, and the surfaces are plated with a metal layer to reduce contact resistance and ensure conductivity.

[0049] Technical benefits: Dual connection stability: Magnetic components provide pre-positioning, mechanical snap-fit ​​achieves rigid fixation, and electrode insertion ensures reliable conductivity. The three work together to improve the overall connection strength of the battery pack.

[0050] Easy disassembly and assembly: The mechanical locking components can be operated with a handle to quickly separate or assemble the battery pack, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0051] Anti-oxidation design: The female and male battery connectors are made of anti-oxidation materials to extend their service life.

[0052] Example 2, based on Example 1, further optimizes the battery connection structure by adding a positioning component 5, as follows:

[0053] Positioning component 5:

[0054] A positioning groove 51 is provided on the top of the upper housing 11, and the first magnet piece 21 is embedded in the groove.

[0055] The top of the lower housing 12 has a protruding positioning block 52 that engages with the positioning groove 51.

[0056] The positioning groove 51 has an elastic sealing gasket on its groove wall, and the positioning block 52 has a corresponding sealing groove on its outer side wall, forming a waterproof sealing structure.

[0057] Other improvements: The thickness of the metal layer on the surface of electrode pins 41 and electrode holes 42 is increased, further improving conductivity and corrosion resistance.

[0058] Technical effects:

[0059] Precise positioning: The positioning component ensures that the magnetic poles, electrodes and snap-fit ​​structures of adjacent batteries 1 are precisely aligned, avoiding poor contact or snap-fit ​​failure caused by misalignment.

[0060] Waterproof sealing: The elastic sealing gasket and sealing groove work together to prevent liquid from entering the battery connection and improve the reliability of the battery pack in humid environments.

[0061] Structural reinforcement: The mechanical cooperation between the positioning block and the positioning groove enhances the impact resistance of the battery pack and reduces connection loosening caused by vibration.

[0062] Summary of implementation methods:

[0063] This invention achieves stable connection and convenient maintenance of the battery pack through a triple design of magnetic attraction, mechanical snap-fit, and electrode insertion. Embodiment 1 provides the basic structure, while Embodiment 2 further enhances performance through positioning components and a sealing design. Each embodiment can be implemented individually or used in combination to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
