[0029] This utility model proposes a battery for a camera, including a housing and a battery cell housed in the housing, and a battery mounting plate, wherein the housing and the battery mounting plate are connected by a detachable connection structure.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application proposes a camera battery primarily composed of two parts: a battery mounting plate 100 and a housing 200. The housing 200 comes in various types, each with a different number of internal cells and a different capacity. The housing 200 is mounted on the battery mounting plate 100 via a detachable connection structure. The side of the housing 200 facing the battery mounting plate 100 serves as the mounting surface. It is understood that the number of housings 200 mounted on the battery mounting plate 100 can be adjusted according to actual needs. By flexibly selecting housings 200 with different capacities and in varying numbers, the housings 200 and the battery mounting plate 100 can be combined to form cameras with different specifications to meet the power requirements of different devices. Traditionally, to address the diverse capacity requirements of photographic equipment, it is necessary to redesign the cell sizes and assemble the battery pack, a cumbersome and costly process. This application proposes a camera battery that allows for flexible assembly of batteries of various specifications by pre-producing several housings 200 with different capacitance values and several battery mounting plates 100 with different interfaces, eliminating the need to produce each battery specification individually, thus effectively reducing production costs and complexity. Here, the battery mounting plate 100 and housing 200 are installed via a detachable connection structure, facilitating flexible assembly by users according to their needs in actual use, thereby improving applicability.
[0031] In some embodiments, the housing is configured with a mounting surface, the mounting surface of the battery cell is defined as the front of the housing, and the opposite surface of the mounting surface is defined as the rear. The battery cell includes a plurality of cylindrical battery packs arranged side by side along the front-rear direction of the housing.
[0032] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, each housing 200 has an internal cavity for housing the battery cells. Specifically, the number of battery cells inside housings 200 with different capacities varies. The battery cells include multiple cylindrical battery packs arranged side-by-side along the front-rear direction of the housing 200. By placing different numbers of cylindrical battery packs inside different housings 200, the capacities of the different housings 200 are made different. It should be noted that while the volumes of housings 200 with different capacities are different, the dimensions of their mounting surfaces are consistent, ensuring that each type of housing 200 can be mounted on the battery mounting plate 100.
[0033] In some embodiments, the detachable connection structure is a snap-fit structure, which includes a hook disposed on the mounting surface and a connection hole adapted to the hook on the battery mounting plate.
[0034] In some embodiments, the detachable connection structure further includes positioning blocks disposed on the housing, with multiple positioning blocks disposed at one end of the mounting surface, hooks disposed at the other end of the mounting surface, and positioning holes adapted to the positioning blocks provided on the battery mounting plate.
[0035] In some embodiments, an elastic piece for fixing the positioning block is provided in the positioning hole, and the connection hole is positioned corresponding to the hook.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the detachable connection structure is a snap-fit structure, including a positioning block 210 and a hook 220 disposed on the housing 200, and a positioning hole 130 and a connection hole 140 disposed on the battery mounting plate 100. The positioning block 210 and the hook 220 are protruding from the mounting surface of the housing 200, and the positioning hole 130 and the connection hole 140 are disposed on the battery mounting plate 100. When the housing 200 needs to be installed on the battery mounting plate 100, first align the positioning block 210 with the positioning hole 130, and align the hook 220 with the connection hole 140. Then, insert the hook 220 into the connection hole 140, and then insert the positioning block 210 into the positioning hole 130. At this time, the elastic sheet in the positioning hole 130 will deform due to the insertion of the positioning block 210 until the positioning block 210 is engaged. Furthermore, because the end of the hook 220 facing the connection hole 140 has an outward-facing flange, the cross-section of the hook 220 is L-shaped. When the hook 220 is inserted into the connection hole 140, the outward-facing flange fastens to the edge of the connection hole 140, allowing the hook 220 to be securely locked within the connection hole 140, ensuring the stability of the connection between the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100. When it is necessary to reassemble the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100, simply pull the positioning block 210 out of the positioning hole 130 and then pull the hook 220 out of the connection hole 140 to remove the housing 200 from the battery mounting plate 100. This design allows users to install and remove the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100 without the need for other tools, making operation convenient and improving the user experience.
[0037] In some embodiments, multiple contacts are provided on the mounting surface, and the battery cell is electrically connected to the battery mounting plate through the contacts.
[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, multiple contacts 110 are provided on the mounting surface of the housing 200, and multiple contacts 100 with matching positions are also provided on the battery mounting plate 100. When the housing 200 is installed on the battery mounting plate 100, the contacts 110 on the housing 200 contact with the contacts 110 on the battery mounting plate 100. Circuit boards are provided inside both the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100. Specifically, the circuit board inside the housing 200 is connected to the battery cells inside the housing 200, and the circuit board inside the battery mounting plate 100 is connected to the charging / discharging port on the battery mounting plate 100. After the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100 are installed, the circuit boards of the two are electrically connected through the contact of the contacts 110. This connection ensures that the electrical energy in the housing 200 can interact with external devices through the charging / discharging port on the battery mounting plate 100. In other words, the battery for a camera proposed in this application can only work normally and supply power to the device when the housing 200 and the battery mounting plate 100 are installed together.
[0039] In some embodiments, the battery mounting plate is a V-port battery base plate, which is provided with two sets of contacts, two sets of positioning holes and two sets of connection holes, and two housings can be installed on the V-port battery base plate.
[0040] In some embodiments, the V-port battery base plate is provided with a V-shaped locking block for engaging with a photographic device having a V-shaped locking slot. The V-port battery base plate is also provided with a display screen, a D-tap port, a USB port, a Type-C port, a BD port, and a DC port.
[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery mounting plate 100 is a V-port battery base plate 150, designed to be compatible with photographic equipment having a V-shaped slot. Specifically, by providing two sets of contacts 110, two sets of positioning holes 130, and two sets of connection holes 140 on the V-port battery base plate 150, two housings 200 can be mounted on the V-port battery base plate 150. By selecting housings 200 with different capacities, the V-port battery base plate 150 and housings 200 can be combined to form V-port batteries of different specifications. The V-port battery base plate 150 is snapped onto the photographic equipment with a V-shaped slot via a V-shaped locking block 151, and is electrically connected to the photographic equipment via a BD port 155 located at its bottom, thereby providing power to the photographic equipment. The V-port battery base plate 150 is also equipped with a display screen 152 for displaying battery information, as well as a D-tap port 153, a USB port 154, a Type-C port 162, and a DC port 156. When the V-port battery base plate 150 and the housing 200 are combined to form a V-port battery, these ports can enrich the charging and discharging functions of the V-port battery, enabling the V-port battery to power other devices besides photography equipment, and also enabling other charging devices to charge the V-port battery.
[0042] In some embodiments, the battery mounting plate is an NPF battery base plate, which is provided with a set of contacts, a set of positioning holes and a set of connection holes, and a housing can be installed on the NPF battery base plate.
[0043] In some embodiments, the NPF battery base plate is provided with an NPF latch for engaging with a photographic device having an NPF interface, and the NPF battery base plate is also provided with a Type-C port.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery mounting plate 100 is an NPF battery base plate 160, designed for use with photographic equipment having an NPF interface. Specifically, by providing a set of contacts 110, a set of positioning holes 130, and a set of connection holes 140 on the NPF battery base plate 160, a housing 200 can be mounted on the NPF battery base plate 160. By selecting housings 200 with different capacities, the NPF battery base plate 160 and housing 200 can be combined to form NPF batteries of different specifications. The NPF battery base plate 160 is mounted on the photographic equipment with an NPF interface via an NPF clip 161 to supply power to the photographic equipment. By providing a Type-C port 162 on the NPF battery base plate 160, after the NPF battery base plate 160 and housing 200 are combined to form an NPF battery, charging and discharging can be performed through the Type-C port 162.
[0045] In summary, this application proposes a battery for cameras that only requires the production of several housings 200 with different capacitance values and several battery mounting plates 100 with different interfaces. These can be flexibly assembled into batteries of various specifications without the need to produce each type of battery individually. Specifically, by producing several housings 200 with different capacitance values, as well as NPF battery base plates 160 and V-port battery base plates 150, they can be assembled into various specifications of V-port batteries and NPF batteries through a connecting structure. This eliminates the need to design and produce each type of V-port battery and NPF battery individually, thereby effectively reducing production costs and complexity.
