[0025] Example

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model proposes a quick-change battery compartment structure, including a scanner body 1 and a locking block 2 connected to the bottom of the scanner body 1. During operation, it is necessary to ensure that the locking block 2 is above the scanner body 1 to prevent the battery 12 from falling out of the battery slot 11 due to gravity during separation. Alternatively, the locking block 2 and the scanner body 1 can be opened horizontally; in this case, the battery 12 will not fall out of the battery slot 11 due to gravity. The locking block 2 cooperates with the scanner body 1, and the various components work together to fix and control the removal of the battery 12. A battery slot 11 is provided at one end of the scanner body 1 near the locking block 2. The battery slot 11 is used to accommodate and position the battery 12, providing installation space for the battery. The battery 12 is installed inside the battery slot 11, providing power to the scanner body 1 and ensuring its portability and battery life. A slot 14 is provided at one end of the scanner body 1 near the locking block 2. The slot 14 allows the locking head 29 of the locking block 2 to be inserted, providing a movement channel for the locking head 29. The slot 14 has a slot 15 inside, which engages with the locking head 29 to securely connect the locking block 2 to the scanner body 1. The locking block 2 has a locking head 29, which is inserted into the slot 14 and engaged in the slot 15 to secure the locking block 2 to the scanner body 1. The end of the locking head 29 away from the connecting rod 28 has a spherical structure, which allows the locking head 29 to move away from the button 22 after it abuts against the slot 14. The locking block 2 also has a button 22.

[0027] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the locking block 2 has a transmission mechanism inside that, when pressed, aligns the locking head 29 with the slot 14. This transmission mechanism locks the locking head 29 within the slot 14 and then within the slot 15. The transmission mechanism includes an L-shaped groove 21 within the locking block 2 for the button 22 to slide. The L-shaped groove 21 provides installation and movement space for components such as the button 22, the abutment 24, the first spring 23, and the second spring 26. Inside the L-shaped groove 21 is also an abutment 24, which is pressed against by the button 22 and then moves away from it. The abutment 24 is pushed by the button 22 via an inclined surface 25, causing the connecting rod 28 and the locking head 29 to move. The end of the abutment 24 closest to the button 22 has an inclined surface 25 that contacts the button 22, converting the pushing force of the button 22 into a lateral moving force for the abutment 24. The end of the abutment 24 furthest from the button 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 28, which transmits the force of the abutment 24, causing the locking head 29 to move. The end of the connecting rod 28 away from the stop block 24 is fixedly connected to the locking head 29. The locking block 2 has a sliding hole 27 for the connecting rod 28 to slide through, and the sliding hole 27 guides the connecting rod 28.

[0028] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a second spring 26 is provided inside the L-shaped groove 21. The second spring 26 provides a restoring force for the abutment 24, the connecting rod 28, and the locking head 29, so that the locking head 29 locks into the groove 15. One end of the second spring 26 is fixedly connected to the abutment 24, and the other end of the second spring 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped groove 21.

[0029] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first spring 23 is also provided inside the L-shaped groove 21. The first spring 23 provides a reset force for the button 22, allowing it to return to its original position after being pressed. The first spring 23 has a relatively thick and stiff design, which can provide a large initial elastic force, so that the button 22 requires a certain external force to be pressed and triggered. This can prevent the button 22 from being activated by accidental touch or slight collision, thereby preventing the transmission mechanism (stop block 24, connecting rod 28, and locking head 29) from being accidentally activated, ensuring the stable locking state of the locking head 29 and the locking groove 15, preventing the battery from falling off due to malfunction of the transmission mechanism during use, and improving the safety of the device. One end of the first spring 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the button 22, and the other end of the first spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped groove 21.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connection between the scanner body 1 and the locking block 2 uses a positioning mechanism. This mechanism includes a pair of positioning grooves 13 located at the end of the scanner body 1 near the locking block 2. The positioning grooves 13 engage with the positioning pins 201 of the locking block 2 to achieve precise positioning and installation of the locking block 2 and the scanner body 1. A pair of positioning pins 201 are fixedly connected to the locking block 2 and inserted into the positioning grooves 13. The positioning pins 201 are inserted into the positioning grooves 13 of the scanner body 1, ensuring precise alignment and installation of the locking block 2 and the scanner body 1. The end of the positioning pin 201 furthest from the locking block 2 has an arc-shaped end, and the length of the positioning pin 201 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the connecting rod 28 and the locking head 29.

[0031] In this embodiment, when using the wireless handheld 3D scanner, the battery 12 is first placed into the battery slot 11 on the scanner body 1. Then, the positioning pin 201 on the locking block 2 is aligned with the positioning slot 13 on the scanner body 1 and inserted. Since the length of the positioning pin 201 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the connecting rod 28 and the locking head 29, it can be ensured that after the positioning pin 201 is inserted into the positioning slot 13, the locking head 29 is exactly aligned with the slot 14 on the scanner body 1. At this time, the scanner body 1 is pressed down forcefully, and the locking block 2 is placed on a hard surface for support. Then, the spherical structure at the end of the locking head 29 will abut against the inner wall of the slot 14, thereby driving the connecting rod 28 and the abutment block 24 to move away from the button 22 and compress the second spring 26 in the L-shaped groove 21. When the clip 29 is fully inserted into the slot 14, the second spring 26 releases its elastic force, pushing the stop block 24 to move the connecting rod 28 and the clip 29 in sequence, so that the clip 29 is inserted into the slot 15 in the slot 14, completing the connection and fixation between the scanner body 1 and the locking block 2, and the battery 12 is also installed in place.

[0032] When battery 12 needs to be replaced, press button 22 on locking block 2 against a hard object, and simultaneously press the scanner body 1 towards locking block 2, causing button 22 to retract into the L-shaped groove 21 and compress the first spring 23. At this time, the abutment block 24, through the inclined surface 25, is pushed by button 22, moving towards the second spring 26 and compressing the second spring 26. This, in turn, moves the connecting rod 28 and the locking head 29, causing the locking head 29 to disengage from the locking groove 15 and return to the slot 14. At this point, one hand firmly presses down on locking block 2 to prevent button 22 from being ejected by the elastic force of the first spring 23, while the other hand can separate the scanner body 1 from locking block 2, and then remove battery 12 from battery slot 11. The entire process does not require special tools, is quick and convenient, effectively improves battery replacement efficiency, and reduces the difficulty of daily maintenance. At the same time, during operation, it is necessary to ensure that locking block 2 is above the scanner body 1 to prevent battery 12 from falling out of battery slot 11 due to gravity during separation.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
