Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of model car technology, specifically to a model car battery mounting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Customization of remote-controlled model cars includes performance and power upgrades, especially for racing. This often requires the addition of electronic speed controllers, which necessitates consideration of the chassis's installation space. Currently, the battery compartment of remote-controlled model cars typically consists of a separate box and a cover. The battery is placed in the box, then the cover is used to hold it in place, and the cover is secured with individual clips. This can lead to the clips easily becoming lost, preventing the battery from being properly secured to the chassis. For example, in patent document CN208862062U, a new design involves placing the battery inside the battery compartment and installing a housing above it. This housing is embedded within the battery compartment to hold and secure the battery. The edges of the housing are then bonded to the annular groove of the battery compartment using adhesive. Simultaneously, clips are used to house and store the charging cable within the housing.

[0003] Therefore, since the battery compartment and electronic speed controller are laid flat, the battery compartment takes up too much space, which means there is no extra space on the frame to install electronic speed controllers and other components. Furthermore, battery replacement is complicated, especially when participating in remote control model car competitions, where the time spent replacing batteries often affects the competition results and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this utility model is to provide a battery mounting mechanism for a model car, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the battery compartment and improve the efficiency of battery installation and removal, including:

[0005] The base frame is used to support the battery;

[0006] A mounting base, which is disposed on the base frame and located on the side of the battery;

[0007] A pressure plate, which is detachably mounted on the fixing base and presses against the battery;

[0008] A locking member is provided on the fixed base and can deflect between a locked position and an unlocked position. The top surface of the locking member is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate. When the locking member deflects to the locked position, the locking member presses against the pressure plate to restrict the movement of the pressure plate. When the locking member deflects to the unlocked position, the locking member and the pressure plate are misaligned to unlock the pressure plate.

[0009] Preferably, the pressure plate is provided with a deflection groove, and the locking member extends from the fixed seat into the deflection groove and can rotate.

[0011] Preferably, the deflection groove has a fan-shaped structure, and the locking member is configured to be rotatable about the center of the deflection groove.

[0012] Preferably, the locking element includes:

[0013] A rotating part, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed base and extends into the deflection groove;

[0014] A pressing part is connected to the rotating part, and the top surface of the pressing part is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate;

[0015] An operating part is connected to the rotating part and is perpendicular to the pressing part along its length.

[0016] Preferably, the pressure plate has arc-shaped sides on both sides along its length, and the arc-shaped sides are located in the deflection direction of the operating part and are in contact with the operating part.

[0022] Preferably, the substrate further has a limiting protrusion, which is parallel to the blocking portion along its own length direction.

[0023] Preferably, the base frame is provided with a limiting member, which is located on the side of the battery along its length and is adjustable to move closer to or further away from the battery.

[0024] The above-described solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The battery mounting mechanism for the model car provided by this utility model uses a pressure plate to press and fix the battery onto the base frame, and a locking component to lock the pressure plate. Since the top surface of the locking component is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate, components such as an electronic speed controller can be added to the top surface of the pressure plate to meet modification needs, which can better save installation space. When it is necessary to remove and replace the battery, the locking component can be manually operated to deflect to the unlock position to unlock the pressure plate. After the battery is replaced, the locking component can be manually operated to deflect to the locking position to lock the pressure plate. Thus, the battery can be removed and installed without the aid of tools, making the removal and installation operation simpler and reducing the battery replacement time.

[0042] The battery mounting mechanism for a model vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the model car battery mounting mechanism provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a base frame 10, a fixing seat 30, a pressure plate 40, and a locking component 50. The top of the base frame 10 can be recessed so that the top of the base frame 10 can be used to support the battery 20. The base frame 10 serves as the chassis of the model car and can be used to install the motor, battery 20, servo motor, electronic speed controller, and suspension system, etc. The base frame 10 can form a complete model car by connecting and integrating all the components. The fixing seat 30 is provided on the base frame 10 and located on the side of the battery 20. There can be two fixing seats 30 located on both sides of the battery 20, and they can be fixed to both sides of the base frame 10 in the width direction by screws, so that the fixing seats 30 can press and fix the side of the battery 20.

[0044] Specifically, the pressure plate 40 is detachably mounted on the fixing base 30 and presses against the battery 20. By pressing the battery 20 against the pressure plate 40, the battery 20 can be locked and fixed in the height direction. Combined with the fixing base 30 and the base frame 10, this achieves the installation and locking of the battery 20. The locking member 50 is mounted on the fixing base 30 and can deflect between the locked and unlocked positions. The top surface of the pressure plate 40 is a flat structure, and the top surface of the locking member 50 is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate 40. Therefore, the pressure plate 40... Electronic speed controllers can be added to the plate 0, for example, by adhesive bonding, to ensure simpler installation and make the various added parts more compact; when the locking part 50 is deflected to the locked position, the locking part 50 presses against the pressure plate 40 to restrict the movement of the pressure plate 40; when the locking part 50 is deflected to the unlocked position, the locking part 50 and the pressure plate 40 are misaligned to unlock the pressure plate 40, thereby allowing the battery 20 under the pressure plate to be replaced, improving the battery 20 replacement efficiency.

[0045] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the locking member 50 includes an integrally formed rotating part 51, a pressing part 52, and an operating part 53. The rotating part 51 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base 30 and extends into the deflection groove 41. The rotating part 51 can be rotatably connected to the fixed base 30 by bolts or other means, and the upper end of the rotating part 51 can extend into the center of the deflection groove 41. The pressing part 52 is connected to the rotating part 51, and the top surface of the pressing part 52 is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate 40. By rotating the pressing part 52, the pressing part 52 is forced to rotate around the center of the deflection groove 41 through the rotating part 51, so that the pressing part 52 can be locked or unlocked within the deflection groove 41. Preferably, the pressing part 52 stops the stop part 41. 2 can generate a certain downward pressure, so that the pressing part 52 and the stop part 412 can abut against each other in the height direction, ensuring that the locking force of the locking part 50 is stronger; as a preferred method, the operating part 53 is connected to the rotating part 51 and is perpendicular to the pressing part 52 in the length direction. By manually pushing the operating part 53, the operating part 53 can rotate around the center of the deflection groove 41 through the rotating part 51, thereby driving the pressing part 52 to deflect to achieve locking or unlocking. Thus, when locking or unlocking the pressure plate 40, it is only necessary to manually push the operating part 53 to achieve the deflection of the pressing part 52, making the disassembly and installation of the pressure plate 40 simpler and the battery 20 replacement efficiency higher.

[0046] Furthermore, the pressure plate 40 is provided with a deflection groove 41. The locking member 50 extends from the fixed base 30 into the deflection groove 41 and can rotate. The deflection groove 41 can be located at the edge of the pressure plate 40, so that when the locking member 50 can be operated on the fixed base 30 and deflected to disengage from the deflection groove 41, the pressure plate 40 can be unlocked. When the locking member 50 deflects to enter the deflection groove 41, the pressure plate 40 can be locked. More preferably, to save overall space, the deflection groove 41 is provided inside the pressure plate 40, and the locking member 50 extends from the fixed base 30 into the deflection groove 41 to achieve deflection. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the deflection groove 41 has a through hole 411 and a stop portion 412. The through hole 411 and the stop portion 412 are parallel to each other along their own length direction and are staggered within the deflection groove 41. When the locking member 50 deflects 90 degrees onto the stop portion 412, the locking member 50 disengages from the through hole 411 and presses against the stop portion 412, thereby locking the pressure plate 40 in the height direction. At this time, the locking member 50 is perpendicular to the stop portion 412 and the through hole 411. When the locking member 50 deflects 90 degrees onto the through hole 411... When the locking member 50 is parallel to the through hole 411, the locking member 50 and the through hole 411 are aligned with each other, so that the pressure plate 40 can be unlocked from the height direction. This allows the pressure plate 40 to be removed for battery 20 replacement, making the battery 20 replacement operation simpler. The pressure plate 40 can be locked or unlocked simply by deflecting the locking member 50 by 90 degrees. It can be understood that the angle of deflection of the locking member 50 can be set according to the position of the through hole 411 and the stop part 412. The above-mentioned angle of deflection is only an example and is not limited here.

[0047] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the deflection groove 41 has a fan-shaped structure, and the locking member 50 is configured to rotate around the center of the deflection groove 41. The through hole 411 and the stop part 412 each occupy approximately half of the position in the deflection groove 41, so that when the locking member 50 deflects around the center of the deflection groove 41 to above the through hole 411, the locking member 50 can disengage from the pressure plate 40 through the through hole 411. When the locking member 50 deflects around the center of the deflection groove 41 to the stop part 412, the locking member 50 can press against the stop part 412 and lock with the pressure plate 40. The operation of the locking member 50 is simpler during the locking and disassembly of the pressure plate 40.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the pressure plate 40 has arc-shaped side surfaces 413 on both sides along its length. These arc-shaped side surfaces 413 are located in the deflection direction of the operating part 53 and are in contact with it. When the operating part 53 is pushed to rotate, it can deflect along the arc-shaped side surfaces 413. The arc-shaped side surfaces 413 abut against the operating part 53, so that when the operating part 53 is rotated to both sides along the length of the pressure plate 40, the clamping part 52 is in the unlocked position. After removing the pressure plate 40 and replacing the battery 20, the pressure plate 40 can be reinstalled via the operating part 52. The operating part 53 positions and restricts the pressure plate 40 to ensure that the pressure plate 40 is installed in place. When the operating part 53 is rotated to both sides in the width direction of the pressure plate 40, the operating part 53 abuts against the arc-shaped side 413. At this time, the clamping part 52 deflects synchronously onto the stop part 412, so that the operating part 53 can limit and lock the pressure plate 40 from the width direction of the pressure plate 40. Combined with the clamping plate locking in the height direction of the pressure plate 40, the battery 20 can be installed more stably under the pressure plate 40 after the pressure plate 40 is locked, avoiding the position of the battery 20 from shifting.

[0049] Furthermore, one end of the arc-shaped side surface 413 has a blocking surface 414. When the locking member 50 is in the locked position, the blocking surface 414 abuts against the operating part 53. When the operating part 53 is rotated to both sides of the width direction of the pressure plate 40, the operating part 53 abuts against the blocking surface 414 and the arc-shaped side surface 413. Since the pressing part 52 is simultaneously deflected onto the stop part 412, and the operating part 53 achieves the limiting lock of the pressure plate 40 from the width direction of the pressure plate 40, the pressing plate is locked in the height direction of the pressure plate 40, and the blocking surface 414 and the operating part 53 form a limiting in the length direction of the pressure plate 40. Thus, the pressure plate 40 can be limited and locked in the height direction, width direction and length direction of the fixed base 30, preventing the pressure plate 40 from shifting.

[0050] Reference Figures 3 to 5As shown, the fixing base 30 includes: a base plate 31, a support portion 32, and a blocking portion 33. The base plate 31 is fixed to the base frame 10. The support portion 32 protrudes from the base plate 31 and abuts against the bottom of the pressure plate 40. The blocking portion 33 is disposed at the edge of the base plate 31 and is located in the deflection direction of the operating portion 53. The blocking portion 33 and the blocking surface 414 are flush in the vertical direction, so that when the operating portion 53 abuts against the blocking surface 414, it can also abut against the blocking portion 33. Furthermore, the base plate 31 also has a limiting protrusion 34. The limiting protrusion 34 and the blocking part 33 are parallel to each other along their own length direction. When the operating part 53 abuts against the blocking part 33, the limiting protrusion 34 and the blocking part 33 together block and limit the two sides of the operating part 53, preventing the operating part 53 from deflecting when no force is applied. This makes the locking member 50 more stable in locking the pressure plate 40. Preferably, the height of the limiting protrusion 34 should be such that it can pass through when the operating part 53 is pushed with force, but cannot pass through when the operating part 53 is not pushed with force.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the battery 20 is limited on both sides of the width direction by the fixing base 30. A limiting member 60 is provided on the base frame 10 and is located on the side of the length direction of the battery 20. The base frame 10 is provided with an oblong hole 101. The limiting member 60 and the oblong hole 101 can be fixed with bolts. By adjusting the position of the limiting member 60 in the oblong hole 101, the position between the limiting member 60 and the base frame 10 can be adjusted. When it is far away from the battery 20, the installation area of ​​the battery 20 can be adjusted. When it is close to the battery 20, the battery 20 can be blocked and limited, which has a wider range of applications.

[0052] The battery 20 mounting mechanism for the model car provided by this utility model uses a pressure plate 40 to press and fix the battery 20 onto the base frame 10, and a locking member 50 to lock the pressure plate 40. Since the top surface of the locking member 50 is flush with the top surface of the pressure plate 40, the top surface of the pressure plate 40 can be fitted with components such as an electronic speed controller to meet modification needs, which can better save installation space. When it is necessary to remove and replace the battery 20, the locking member 50 can be manually rotated to the unlock position to unlock the pressure plate 40. After the battery 20 is replaced, the locking member 50 can be manually rotated to the locking position to lock the pressure plate 40. Thus, the battery 20 can be removed and installed without the aid of tools, making the removal and installation operation simpler and reducing the time for replacing the battery 20.
