[0029] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0030] A waterproof and quick-release battery box assembly achieves good sealing and waterproofing as well as quick-release operation, making it particularly suitable for use in water controllers with digital displays and other electronic components in kitchen and bathroom applications, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes a waterproof box body 1, a sealing cover 2, and a battery holder 3.

[0031] The waterproof housing 1 has a battery mounting cavity 11 inside for embedding the battery, and one side has a battery installation port 12 for battery installation and removal. For easy installation and fixation during use, an external mounting and fixing structure 13 for locking is provided, as shown in the figure, with screw holes. The entire structure is a one-piece molded structure, achieving good waterproof sealing. Power output is achieved through mounting holes on the side wall for installing electrical connection components 14.

[0032] The sealing cover 2 can be movably closed onto the battery disassembly port 12, as shown in the figure, and is a completely detachable sealing cover. This structure facilitates the function of the base structure described below. For other structures, the cover can also be moved by flipping or other means. In this embodiment, the inner side of the sealing cover 2 is constructed as a base structure in which the battery can be embedded. As shown in the figure, a side wall 21 protrudes along the contour of the inner side, and the battery is embedded in the side wall 21. During installation, the battery can be placed in the base structure first, which serves to limit and stabilize the battery and facilitates contact and conduction with the power connection component 14 during installation. After the battery is embedded, the side wall 21 of the sealing cover 2 is inserted from the battery disassembly port 12 and closed onto the waterproof box 1, making the operation simpler. This is especially convenient for battery installation when the battery disassembly port 12 is facing downwards. The side wall 21 is fitted with a sealing ring to cover and seal the battery.

[0033] To facilitate disassembly and assembly, the sealing cover 2 and the waterproof box 1 are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. One embodiment of this structure is shown in the figure. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​part 15 on the waterproof box 1 and an elastic snap-fit ​​structure on the sealing cover 2. The elastic snap-fit ​​structure includes a movable block 22 with a snap-fit ​​end 221 that can engage with the snap-fit ​​part 15 and an elastic element 23 that abuts against the movable block 22. In this embodiment, a fixed cover plate 24 is provided on the outside of the sealing cover 2 to achieve the connection between the sealing cover 2 and the fixed cover plate. A limiting structure 25 is provided between 24 to allow the movable block 22 to be installed and to limit its elastic range of motion. The movable block 22 abuts against the sealing cover 2 via an elastic element 23, and pushes out a snap-fit ​​end 221 to engage with the fastening part 15, thereby achieving the sealing cover's closing and fixing. The sealing cover 2 shown in the figure is a closing structure embedded in the battery disassembly port 12. The snap-fit ​​end 221 is correspondingly provided on the side surface of the sealing cover 2, and the fastening part 15 is formed on the side wall of the battery disassembly port 12. The embedded structure simplifies the closing structure and achieves a flat exterior for the product. In this embodiment, the fastening part 15 and the snap-fit ​​end 221 have an inclined surface structure along their opposite edges to facilitate quick snap-fitting, as shown in the figure, which further facilitates quick snap-fitting during closing. To facilitate disassembly, the movable block 22 in this embodiment is provided with a pushing part 26 protruding outside the sealing cover 2, as shown in the figure. The fixed cover plate 24 has a movable hole through which the pushing part 26 passes and can be pushed. Thus, during disassembly, the snap-fit ​​end 221 can be disengaged from the snap-fit ​​part 15 by pushing the pushing part 26 by hand, achieving separation of the snap-fit. The above-mentioned snap-fit ​​structure can be arranged in two sets in opposite directions, which can facilitate simultaneous operation of the hand to push the two pushing parts 26 relative to each other. Alternatively, as shown in the figure, the above-mentioned snap-fit ​​structure can be arranged in one set. The fixed cover plate 24 of the sealing cover 2 has a fixed part 27 protruding opposite to the pushing part 26. During manual operation, it is easier to push the pushing part 26 by pinching, which makes it easier to open the sealing cover 2.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the battery from the sealing cover 2 and / or battery mounting cavity 11 during disassembly, the waterproof box 1 may be provided with an elastic ejection structure that can push the battery from the sealing cover 2 and / or battery mounting cavity 11 outwards towards the battery disassembly port 12. There are various implementations of this structure. This embodiment discloses a simple structural setting. Specifically, the elastic ejection structure includes a fixing structure set on the inner bottom surface of the waterproof box 1 and an elastic component 16 connected to the waterproof box 1 through the fixing structure. As shown in the figure, the elastic component 16 is a spring. The fixing structure is a groove in the middle of the inner bottom surface of the waterproof box 1 for one end of the spring to be inserted and connected. The structure is simple and can push the battery and sealing cover 2 outwards in a balanced and stable manner, so that the battery can be easily removed. Alternatively, a pulling structure can be provided within the waterproof housing 1 to pull the battery from the battery mounting cavity 11 outwards towards the battery removal port 12. For example, a pulling rope can be used, with one end fixed to the inner wall near the battery removal port 12 and the other end serving as the pulling end. When installing the battery, the pulling rope is pressed under the battery, with the pulling end exposed on the outside of the battery from the opposite side of the fixed end. The battery is then inserted into the battery mounting cavity 11. To remove the battery, the pulling end of the pulling rope can be used to quickly pull it out, facilitating easy removal. Alternatively, the pulling structure can be a pulling component mounted on the battery holder 3.

[0035] The battery holder 3 described in this embodiment is used for fixing the battery. It may also be selected to not include the battery holder depending on the product structure or the battery structure used. This embodiment has the battery holder 3, which facilitates the assembly of multiple batteries into a whole and makes it convenient to disassemble and replace them. The battery holder 3 has a power contact component 31 on one side corresponding to the power contact component 14, which can abut against the power contact component 14 and conduct electricity.

[0036] The battery box assembly described above can be manufactured independently, making it easy to install and use, as well as easy to disassemble and use the battery. Through different shape and structural variations, it can be adapted to various product structures and can also be used as a battery box assembly for the same needs in other fields.

[0037] like Figure 4The diagram shows the main body of a water outlet controller with the aforementioned waterproof quick-release battery box assembly, specifically a shower controller main body. The main body housing 4 of the water outlet controller main body has a through-hole 41. The waterproof housing 1 is fixedly installed inside the water outlet controller main body, and its battery removal port 12 corresponds to the installation port 41. The water outlet controller main body has electronic components that are connected to a power supply component 14 via electrical connection lines for power supply. The installation port 41 shown in the figure is located on the bottom surface of the water outlet controller main body. Due to the aforementioned battery box assembly structure, it is easy to operate even from a less visible angle, allowing for blind removal. Furthermore, the outer edge of the battery removal port 12 of the waterproof housing 1 is embedded within the installation port 41, and the outer surface of the sealing cover 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the water outlet controller main body, resulting in a flat overall appearance for the shower controller main body. The aforementioned structure can also be located on the side of the water outlet controller main body.

[0038] The appendix of this utility model Figure 5 The water outlet controller body shown includes a main body housing 4, which is also the main body of the shower controller. The difference is that the main body housing 4 has an integrally formed battery mounting cavity, equivalent to the main structure of the waterproof housing 1 described above. A mounting port 41, corresponding to the battery mounting cavity, is opened on one side of the main body housing 4. It also includes a sealing cover 2 that can be movably closed onto the mounting port 41. Similarly, the sealing cover 2 is fixedly connected to the main body housing via a snap-fit ​​structure. The battery mounting cavity has an elastic ejection structure that can push the sealing cover 2 and / or the battery inside the battery mounting cavity outwards from the mounting port 41. A power connection component is provided on the side wall of the battery mounting cavity. Electronic devices are provided on the water outlet controller body and connected to the power connection component via electrical connection lines. The mounting port 41 shown in the figure is located on the side of the shower controller body. The seat structure of the sealing cover, the battery holder with the power contact component, the elastic ejection structure, the snap-fit ​​structure, the pushing part, the fixing part, the embedded closing structure, and related structures on the water outlet controller can be applied with reference to the above-described structure. Figure 5 The structure will not be described again here, but it can achieve the above-mentioned objectives and effects of this utility model.
