[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] First embodiment: See Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a battery compartment structure for an IoT door lock with quick battery replacement, including a door lock housing 1. At the bottom of the door lock housing 1, there is a battery compartment 104 specifically for holding the door lock battery. The top surface of the battery compartment 104 is a retainer 103 with battery contact points. The retainer 103 not only serves to separate the space, but its built-in contact points can also connect the battery to the door lock circuit. The structure also includes two sliding rods 2 that slide in cooperation with the retainer 103. The two sliding rods 2 are respectively set close to the two side walls of the door lock housing 1. The inner end of the sliding rod 2 is provided with a limiting block for limiting the sliding range. The movable end at the bottom extends through the door lock housing 1, and a baffle 202 is connected between the two protruding ends. The main function of this baffle 202 is to support the door lock battery placed in the battery compartment 104 and prevent the battery from falling out. A baffle 202 is provided on the outer side of the sliding rod 2, and a thrust spring 3 is installed between the baffle 103 and the baffle 202. When the thrust spring 3 is in its natural state, it applies an outward thrust to the sliding rod 2, providing power for the baffle 202 to reset. The baffle 103 is also provided with an elastic locking bracket 4, which can lock the sliding rod 2 to ensure the stability of the baffle 201 during battery use. At the same time, an unlocking component 5 is provided on the outer side of the door lock housing 1. This unlocking component 5 can complete the locking and unlocking actions of the sliding rod 2 by operating the elastic locking bracket 4, thereby realizing the quick battery replacement operation.

[0019] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: The two baffle plates 202 are connected by a "U"-shaped frame body. The two end parts of the "U"-shaped frame body are fixedly connected to the two baffle plates 202 respectively, enabling the two sliding rods 2 to move synchronously, ensuring that the baffle plate 201 is evenly stressed and moves smoothly during the battery loading and unloading process, and avoiding battery tilt or jamming caused by unilateral stress; A guiding chute 102 is provided inside the battery compartment 104. The guiding chute 102 forms a sliding fit with the baffle plate 202. The guiding chute 102 provides accurate trajectory limitation for the sliding of the baffle plate 202, ensuring that the sliding rod 2 drives the baffle plate 202 to move stably along the preset direction and reducing晃动; At the same time, an inner chute 101 is provided on the inner wall of the door lock housing 1. The inner chute 101 also forms a sliding fit with the baffle plate 202. Acting together with the guiding chute 102, it restricts the sliding of the baffle plate 202 from different positions, further improving the stability and smoothness of the overall movement of the sliding rod 2 and providing a reliable structural support for the rapid replacement of the battery.

[0020] The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: The number of elastic locking frames 4 is two, corresponding to the two sliding rods 2 respectively, ensuring that each sliding rod 2 can be stably locked. The elastic locking frame 4 includes an insertion block 402 slidably arranged in the retaining frame 103. A slot adapted to the insertion block 402 is provided on the sliding rod 2. When the insertion block 402 is inserted into the slot, the locking and fixing of the sliding rod 2 can be achieved; At the same time, an elastic member 403 is provided on the retaining frame 103, so as to continuously push the insertion block 402 towards the inside of the slot, ensuring the reliability of the locking state; An opening is provided at the end of the insertion block 402 away from the sliding rod 2, and the elastic member 403 is installed inside this opening, providing a stable thrust source for the insertion block 402; A guide rod 401 is also installed on the retaining frame 103. The movable end of the guide rod 401 is inserted into the opening of the insertion block 402, which not only guides the sliding direction of the insertion block 402 to prevent it from deviating during the movement process, but also provides support for the elastic member 403, ensuring that the elastic force of the elastic member 403 acts stably on the insertion block 402.

[0021] On the outer wall of the door lock housing 1, a chute corresponding to the position of the elastic locking frame 4 is provided through. The chute extends along the length direction of the elastic locking frame 4, providing an activity space for the operation of the unlocking component 5; The unlocking component 5 includes a pulling frame 502. Both ends of the pulling frame 502 are installed with rotating arms 501 by means of rotational connection. The movable ends of the two rotating arms 501 are respectively rotationally connected to the insertion blocks 402 in the two elastic locking frames 4; Specifically, when the pull frame 502 is pulled outward, the pull frame 502 moves away from the door lock housing 1. The pull frame 502 will drive the rotating arms 501 at both ends to rotate synchronously. Since the movable end of the rotating arm 501 is rotatably connected to the insert block 402 in the elastic locking frame 4, the rotation of the rotating arm 501 will apply an outward pulling force to the insert block 402, forcing the insert block 402 to move away from the sliding rod 2. At this time, the insert 402 will overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 403 in its opening, causing the elastic element 403 to be compressed and accumulate elastic potential energy. As the insert 402 completely disengages from the slot of the sliding rod 2, the locking state of the sliding rod 2 is released. Under the action of the spring 3 between the baffle 103 and the baffle 202, the sliding rod 2 will drive the baffle 201 to pop outward, making it convenient for the user to remove or replace the battery.

[0022] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
