Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following detailed embodiments are provided to help the reader gain a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to the order set forth herein; changes that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application are possible, except for operations that must occur in a specific order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0027] The features described herein may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many feasible ways of implementing the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein that will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application.

[0028] Throughout the specification, when an element (such as a layer, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, it may be directly "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, or there may be one or more other elements in between. In contrast, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element, "directly bonded to" another element, "directly on" another element, or "directly covering" another element, there may be no other elements in between.

[0029] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any one of the relevant items listed and any combination of any two or more items.

[0030] Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe individual components, assemblies, regions, layers, or parts, these components, assemblies, regions, layers, or parts are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, assembly, region, layer, or part from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, the first component, assembly, region, layer, or part referred to as the second component, assembly, region, layer, or part may also be referred to as the second component, assembly, region, layer, or part.

[0031] For ease of description, spatial relation terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” are used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Such spatial relation terms are intended to include not only the orientation depicted in the drawings but also different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will subsequently be “below” or “lower” relative to that other element. Therefore, the term “above” includes both “above” and “below” orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be positioned in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relation terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0032] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing various examples only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” enumerate the stated features, quantities, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, quantities, operations, components, elements, and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] Variations in the shapes shown in the accompanying drawings may occur due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the accompanying drawings, but include changes in shape that may occur during manufacturing.

[0034] The features of the examples described herein can be combined in various ways that will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application. Furthermore, although the examples described herein have a wide variety of constructions, other constructions are possible, as will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application.

[0035] The following will combine Figures 1 to 7 The battery holder 1 and the battery are described below. Figures 1 to 7In the diagram, the first direction L1 intersects with the second direction L2, and the third direction L3 intersects with the plane defined by the first direction L1 and the second direction L2. Preferably, the intersection is perpendicular. The following description will use the example of the first direction L1, the second direction L2 and the third direction L3 being perpendicular to each other to describe the battery holder 1 and the battery.

[0036] According to a first aspect of this application, a battery is provided, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the battery includes a battery bracket 1 and a circuit board (mounted on the support 15). Figures 1 to 7 (Not shown in the image) and multiple terminal wires 2, the battery holder includes a frame 11 and a partition assembly. The frame 11 has a groove, and the interior of the frame 11 communicates with the exterior of the frame 11 through the groove. A circuit board is disposed within the frame 11, and the multiple terminal wires 2 are all connected to the circuit board. The multiple terminal wires 2 are divided into multiple wire groups, and each wire group includes at least one terminal wire 2. The partition assembly is connected to the frame 11 and is located within the groove to divide the groove into multiple wire spaces 131. The multiple wire spaces 131 correspond one-to-one with the multiple wire groups, and the wire groups pass through the wire spaces 131 corresponding to the wire groups. When the operator pulls on the terminal wires 2 in the wire groups, the partition assembly acts as a force relief mechanism to prevent the operator from using excessive force when inserting or removing the terminal wires 2, which could cause severe deformation of the terminal wires 2, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the terminal wires 2 and improving their service life.

[0037] Meanwhile, the separator divides the original large groove into multiple smaller wire-passing spaces 131. When the wire group passes through the corresponding wire-passing space 131, the space for dust to enter is reduced or non-existent, which reduces the amount of dust entering the battery holder 1 and ensures the performance of the battery.

[0038] In addition, the separator 12 can separate different wire groups, making the placement of the terminal wires 2 more orderly.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame 11 can be a hollow cuboid structure. The frame 11 includes a positioning surface 111, which is located on one side of the frame 11 in the first direction L1. The frame 11 has a receiving groove 132, which is recessed from the positioning surface 111 along the first direction L1 toward the interior of the frame 11. The battery also includes a cover plate 3, which covers the circuit board, and a portion of the cover plate 3 is located within the receiving groove 132 to improve the stability of the cover plate 3 installation. The groove is recessed from the bottom of the receiving groove 132 along the first direction L1 toward a direction away from the positioning surface 111, so that one end of the receiving groove 132 in the first direction L1 communicates with the groove, and the other end of the receiving groove 132 in the first direction L1 is open.

[0040] Furthermore, the groove in the second direction L2 is smaller than the receiving groove 132 in the second direction L2, so that an abutment surface 113 is formed at the connection between the groove and the receiving groove 132, and the abutment surface 113 can abut against the cover plate 3. A protrusion 174 can be provided on the support member 15 described below, and the protrusion 174 cooperates with the abutment surface 113 to jointly support the cover plate 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the partition 12 extends from the bottom of the groove along the first direction L1 toward the positioning surface 111, and the dimension of the partition 12 in the first direction L1 is less than or equal to the dimension of the groove in the first direction L1. In this way, the partition 12 will not extend into the receiving groove 132, so as to avoid interference between the partition 12 and the cover plate 3.

[0042] Optionally, the number of separators 12 in the separator assembly can be one, two, three, or more. When there is one separator 12, the groove is divided into two threading spaces 131. When there are two or more separators 12, the multiple separators 12 are arranged at intervals along the second direction L2 to divide the groove into three or more threading spaces 131, each threading space 131 can accommodate one threading group.

[0043] Furthermore, the terminal wires 2 are divided into two categories: power lines and signal lines. Multiple wiring spaces 131 are divided into two groups, with each group containing wiring spaces 131 of equal size in the second direction L2. The wiring spaces 131 in one group have a larger size in the second direction L2 than those in the other group. The larger wiring space 131 in the second direction L2 can accommodate wiring groups including one or more power lines. The smaller wiring space 131 in the second direction L2 can accommodate wiring groups including one signal line.

[0044] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, there can be two larger wiring spaces 131 in the second direction L2, and a smaller wiring space 131 in the second direction L2 is located between the two larger wiring spaces 131 in the second direction L2. The power lines can include two positive power lines and two negative power lines. The wiring group including the two positive power lines is located in one of the larger wiring spaces 131 in the second direction L2, and the wiring group including the two negative power lines is located in the other larger wiring space 131 in the second direction L2.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the frame 11 also includes a reference surface 112, which is located on the side of the frame 11 facing away from the positioning surface 111 in the first direction L1. The battery bracket 1 also includes a support member 15, which is plate-shaped. Both ends of the support member 15 in the third direction L3 are connected to the inner sidewall of the frame 11. One side of the support member 15 in the first direction L1 is flush with the reference surface 112, and the other side of the support surface in the first direction L1 can support the circuit board to achieve positioning of the circuit board. The support member 15 faces the groove so that the terminal wire 2 connected to the circuit board mounted on the support member 15 can extend through the groove.

[0046] Furthermore, the battery bracket 1 also includes at least one connector 16, which extends along the second direction L2. One end of the connector 16 is connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the connector 16 is connected to the support member 15. The support member 15 and at least one connector 16 divide the interior of the frame 11 into a plurality of mounting cavities 14, each of which can be used to accommodate a battery cell.

[0047] When there is one connector 16, one side of the support member 15 in the second direction L2 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 11, one end of the connector 16 in the second direction L2 is connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the connector 16 in the second direction L2 is connected to the support member 15, thereby dividing the interior of the frame 11 into two mounting cavities 14. When there are two connectors 16, the support member 15 is located in the middle of the frame 11 in the second direction L2, one end of the connector 16 in the second direction L2 is connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the connector 16 in the second direction L2 is connected to the support member 15. The two connectors 16 are located on both sides of the support member 15 in the second direction L2, thereby dividing the mounting space into four mounting cavities 14.

[0048] Furthermore, the number of battery cells installed on the battery bracket 1 can be selected according to the battery model. The mounting cavity 14 without battery cells installed can be closed by the cover 171 to ensure the structural strength of the battery bracket 1. The cover 171 can be plate-shaped and can be connected to the frame 11, the support 15 and the connector 16 to close the mounting cavity 14.

[0049] Optionally, in the battery of Embodiment 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a cover 171 is provided in the battery holder 1, and three battery cells can be installed on the battery holder 1. In the battery of Embodiment 2, as... Figure 3 As shown, the battery bracket 1 does not have a cover 171, and four battery cells can be installed on the battery bracket 1.

[0050] In addition, a first support member 172 is provided on the inner side wall of the frame 11, and a second support member 173 is provided on both sides of the connector 16 in the third direction L3. Through the cooperation of the connector 16, the first support member 172, the second support member 173, the support member 15 and the frame 11, multiple battery cells can be installed.

[0051] Preferably, the entire battery holder 1 can be integrally molded.

[0052] Optionally, the form of the cover plate 3 can be selected according to the requirements. In the battery of Embodiment 1, the cover plate 3 is a flat plate structure. The cover plate 3 includes a limiting surface facing the groove. The limiting surface abuts against the separator 12 in the separator assembly. At this time, the size of the wire threading space 131 in the first direction L1 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the terminal wire 2, so as to ensure that the wire threading space 131 can accommodate the terminal wire 2 in a wire threading group.

[0053] In the battery of Example 2, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate 3 includes a plate body 31 and a limiting component. The plate body 31 includes a limiting surface 34 facing the groove. The plate body 31 has a limiting groove, which is recessed from the limiting surface 34 along the first direction L1 toward the interior of the plate body 31. The limiting component is connected to the plate body 31 and is located within the limiting groove to divide the limiting groove into multiple limiting spaces 33. The multiple limiting spaces 33 correspond one-to-one with multiple threading spaces 131, and the limiting spaces 33 and the threading spaces 131 corresponding to the limiting spaces 33 are connected. At this time, the sum of the dimensions of the threading space 131 in the first direction L1 and the dimensions of the limiting space 33 in the first direction L1 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the terminal wire 2. Thus, the threading space 131 and the limiting space 33 corresponding to the threading space 131 together accommodate the terminal wire 2 in a threading group.

[0054] Optionally, the limiting component includes a limiting member 32, the number of limiting members 32 being the same as the number of separators 12. When there is only one separator 12, there is also only one limiting member 32, and the position of the separator 12 corresponds to the position of the limiting member 32. When there are multiple separators 12, the number of limiting members 32 is the same as the number of separators 12, and they correspond one-to-one. The position of the separator 12 corresponds to the position of the limiting member 32 corresponding to the separator 12.

[0055] According to another aspect of this application, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device including a host and the aforementioned battery, and a terminal wire 2 connected to the host.

[0056] Alternatively, the electronic device can be a laptop computer.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
