[0002] Fishing is a popular hobby. To catch big fish, people usually use small fish and shrimp as bait. To ensure the survival rate of the bait, it is usually placed in a live bait box.
[0003] To power the electrical components inside bait boxes, batteries are usually installed inside. However, most of the existing covers used to secure the batteries are screwed onto the box cover, making disassembly inconvenient. In addition, a small number of covers simply use a combination of flip-top clips and latches to close or open the cover, which can easily loosen and cause the battery to fall out.

[0030] Example
[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 7 An improved live bait box includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2 disposed on the box body 1. The box cover 2 includes an upper cover and a lower cover disposed below the upper cover, forming a receiving cavity between the upper cover and the lower cover. The receiving cavity contains a battery 31, an oxygen pump 32, and a circuit board. Solar panels 33 are respectively disposed on both sides of the cover surface of the upper cover. A fixing device 4 for fixing the battery 31 is disposed on the receiving cavity 21. The fixing device 4 includes a base 41 fixedly connected to the receiving cavity, a flip cover 42 connected to the base 41 via a hinge 43, a reset hook 45, a reset spring 44, a torsion spring 46, and a mounting shaft 47. The flip cover 42 can rotate around one side of the base 41. A sealing ring 48 is disposed on the upper surface of the base 41. The height of the sealing ring 48 is greater than the upper surface of the base 41, that is, the sealing ring 48 protrudes from the upper surface of the base 41. After the flip cover 42 is flipped up, the sealing ring 48 is compressed and deformed, thereby sealing the inside of the base 41. The torsion spring 46 is sleeved in the mounting shaft 47, which is set in the shaft seat 411 of the base 41. The first end of the torsion spring 46 is set in the notch 412 of the base 41, and the second end of the torsion spring 46 is set in the limiting groove of the flip cover 42. The function of the torsion spring 46 is to automatically rotate the flip cover 42 from the closed state to the open state, and at the same time, to support the flip cover 42 in the open state. The horizontal buckle 451 of the reset hook 45 is set in the groove 413 on the base 41. The first end of the reset spring 44 is sleeved in the cylindrical boss on the base 41, and the second end of the reset spring 44 is sleeved in the cylindrical boss 454 of the reset hook 45. The reset spring 44 will automatically recover after being compressed, and reset against the reset hook 45.
[0032] The base 41 is provided with a groove 413, a bearing seat 411 and a notch 412 for limiting the position of the reset hook 45, and the mounting shaft 47 is disposed in the bearing seat 411.
[0033] The flip cover 42 has a limiting block 421 for setting the second end of the torsion spring 46 and a flip cover buckle 422. One end of the flip cover buckle 422 is chamfered. When the flip cover 42 is in the closed state, the flip cover buckle 422 engages and locks with the vertical buckle 452 on the reset hook 45.
[0034] The reset hook 45 has a cylindrical boss 454, a button 453, a vertical latch 452 and a horizontal latch 451. One end of the horizontal latch 451 is chamfered. The horizontal latch 451 is set in the groove 413 of the base 41. The cylindrical boss 454 is used to fit the reset spring 44. When the reset hook 45 is pressed and moves backward, the reset spring 44 is compressed. After being released, the reset spring 44 automatically resets the reset hook 45. The button 453 protrudes from the side of the base 41, making it easy to manually press and open the flip cover 42. One end of the vertical latch 452 is chamfered, making it easy for the flip cover latch 422 of the flip cover 42 to slide into the vertical latch 452 and engage.
[0035] The oxygen pump 32 is powered by the battery 31. The two ends of the oxygen pump 32 are connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe located in the housing 1, respectively. The solar panel 33 is connected to the circuit board and the battery 31. A check valve is provided on the outlet pipe. There are 3 oxygen pumps 32. Each oxygen pump 32 is locked to the upper surface of the lower cover by a clamp. The upper cover is also provided with a power switch, a display screen for displaying the remaining power, a USB charging port and an oxygen pump 32 adjustment button. The lower cover is provided with an outlet hole corresponding to the outlet pipe. An oxygen pipe connected to the outlet hole is provided inside the housing 1. This structure allows the solar panel 33 to automatically charge under sunlight when the sun is shining, enabling it to power the oxygen pump 32 and supplement the battery 31. When there is no sunlight, the battery 31 can be charged via a USB charging port using a power bank or adapter, allowing it to independently power the oxygen pump 32. The oxygen pipe facilitates the delivery of oxygen to the tank 1, improving the survival rate of the fish bait. By rationally setting the number of oxygen pumps 32, the survival rate of the fish bait can be further improved. Furthermore, all oxygen pumps 32 are secured to the lower cover with clamps, preventing vibration that could reduce their lifespan.
[0036] The box body 1 is equipped with a waterproof and breathable plug, and a drain outlet is located at the bottom of the box body 1. A handle is attached to the box body 1. This structure and the design of the drain outlet facilitate the drainage of water after the box body 1 is cleaned.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] When it is necessary to replace or remove the battery 31 inside the cover 2, press the button 453 on the reset hook 45. The flip cover latch 422 on the flip cover 42 will disengage from the vertical latch 452 on the reset hook 45. Under the action of the torsion spring 46, the flip cover 42 will automatically flip to the open state. At this time, the battery 31 placed in the base 41 can be easily removed. Then, place the new battery 31 in the base 41, and then flip the flip cover 42 downward until the flip cover latch 422 on the flip cover 42 engages and locks with the vertical latch 452 on the reset hook 45. This completes the fixing of the battery 31. The operation is simple, so that the battery 31 can be well fixed inside the cover 2.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
