[0016] The limiting structure includes a clearance position and a pin for engaging with the clearance position in the assembled state; the pin and the clearance position are disposed on the side of the main body adjacent to the embedded part and between the second slot and the slot wall facing the main body.

[0017] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly further includes a locking member for cooperating with the sliding connecting member;

[0018] The locking component includes a tenon structure and a slot; the tenon structure is telescopically oriented to enter the slot when assembled and lock the fastener in the slot.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "longitudinal," "horizontal," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "head," and "tail" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and do not indicate that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0040] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. When an component is referred to as being "on" or "below" another component, the component can be located "directly" or "indirectly" on the other component, or there may be one or more intermediary components. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first," "second," "third," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0042] In related technologies, electronic devices generally employ a horizontal snap-fit ​​method between the battery module and the main unit module. The main unit module has several snap-fit ​​components that correspond one-to-one with several slots on the battery module. The battery module slides into the main unit module from its horizontal side, perpendicular to the side of the main unit module, to complete the assembly. At this point, the snap-fit ​​components are oriented parallel to the length of the main unit module. However, after conducting drop tests on several electronic devices using this technology (bare unit refers to the electronic device itself, without any packaging or accessories), it was found that the battery module separated from the main unit module, which clearly does not meet product design requirements. Technical analysis revealed that the main reason was that the snap-fit ​​components were subjected to excessive impact force, causing them to detach from the slots 11, and even breaking because the impact force exceeded their limit.

[0043] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1-10 This invention provides a connecting component 100, which is suitable for assembling a first component 200 and a second component 300. Through this connecting component 100, the first component 200 and the second component 300 can be reliably fixed together, and the connecting component 100 can withstand the impact force from a fall from a height, effectively preventing the first component 200 and the second component 300 from separating.

[0044] To facilitate the explanation of the structure of this connecting assembly 100, the positions and connection relationships of each component are described below with reference to the orientation shown in the attached drawings and the length, width, and height directions of the structure. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the marker L is the length direction, the direction indicated by the marker W is the width direction, and the direction indicated by the marker H is the height direction.

[0045] Please refer to this first. Figure 1 and Figure 2The two figures illustrate the external structures of the first component 200 and the second component 300 in their combined and separated states, respectively. The first component 200 and the second component 300 are square shell structures, with the first component 200 located below the second component 300. The first component 200 has a first mounting surface 201 facing the second component 300, and the second component 300 has a second mounting surface 301 facing the first component 200. The first mounting surface 201 and the second mounting surface 301 are engaged when the first component 200 and the second component 300 are assembled together. It should be noted that the first component 200 and the second component 300 shown in this application are for illustrative purposes only. In practical applications, the first component 200 and the second component 300 can have other shapes and structures, and the relative positions between the first component 200 and the second component 300, as well as the engagement or disengagement of the first mounting surface 201 and the second mounting surface 301, can all be adjusted and are not limited here.

[0046] Then, you can refer to Figure 2 A connecting assembly is provided between the first component 200 and the second component 300. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 2 The connecting assembly 100 includes a sliding fastener 1, which includes a plurality of slots 11 disposed in the first component 200 and a plurality of fasteners 12 disposed in the second component 300. Each fastener 12 is correspondingly disposed with each slot 11, and each fastener 12 is configured to be inserted into the corresponding slot 11 and then moved to engage therein. Of course, the number of fasteners 12 and slots 11 can be at least one, such as two, three, or four. When there is one fastener, the fastener 12 and slot 11 can be respectively disposed at the center positions of the first mounting surface 201 and the second mounting surface 301. When there are two or three fasteners 12, they can be arranged at intervals along the length of the first mounting surface 201; the same applies to the slots 11. When there are four fasteners 12, they can be arranged correspondingly along the four corner points of a preset rectangle; the same applies to the slots 11. Other arrangements are also possible and are not limited here.

[0047] Continue reading for more information. Figure 3 Each latching element 12 includes a front end 12a and a rear end 12b. Understandably, the front end 12a refers to the forward end of the latching element 12 that moves in the latching groove 11 along the engagement direction, and the rear end 12b refers to the rear end of the latching element 12 that moves in the latching groove 11 along the engagement direction. Alternatively, it can be understood that the front end 12a refers to the rear end of the latching element 12 that moves in the latching groove 11 along the release direction, and the rear end 12b refers to the forward end of the latching element 12 that moves in the latching groove 11 along the release direction.

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, in the assembled state, the line connecting the front end 12a and the rear end 12b of the fastener 12 forms an angle α with the length direction of the first component 200 or the second component 300, and this angle α is not equal to 90 degrees. This prevents the fastener 12 from being subjected to frontal impact when the assembled first component 200 and second component 300 come into contact with the ground. It is clear that the fastener 12 has a preset movement path in the slot 11; when the fastener 12 moves along this movement path towards the engagement direction to its endpoint, it means that the first component 200 and second component 300 are assembled in place. At this time, the fastener 12 and the slot 11 are simultaneously in the assembled state, and the fastener 12 is completely locked in the slot 11. Furthermore, it should be noted that in the embodiments exemplified in this application, the alignment of the edges of the first assembly surface 201 and the second assembly surface 301 is used as the standard for determining that the first component 200 and the second component 300 are assembled in place. Of course, this standard can also be other methods, which are not limited here. For example, the judgment criteria could also be: the fit between the two assembly surfaces meets the preset standard, the snap-fit ​​component has moved to the limit position along the snap-fit ​​direction, etc.

[0049] Understandably, in this invention, by changing the conventional orientation of the sliding fastener 1 in its assembled state, specifically by designing the fastener 12 to be inclined relative to the length and width directions of the first mounting surface 201 or the second mounting surface 301 in its assembled state, when the assembled first component 200 and second component 300 are in contact with the ground as a whole, the fasteners 12 can be prevented from being subjected to frontal impact forces, thereby effectively preventing the fasteners 12 from disengaging and preventing the fasteners 12 from breaking.

[0050] This connecting component 100 can be applied to various electronic devices that require assembly and connection, such as backpack devices used in emergency communication. In specific applications, the first component 200 can be the battery module of the electronic device, and the second component 300 corresponds to the main unit module of the electronic device; of course, the first component 200 can also be the main unit module of the electronic device, and the second component 300 can be the battery module of the electronic device, and the specific configuration is not limited here. Actual testing has verified that electronic devices assembled using this sliding fastener connecting component 1 can successfully pass the bare-machine drop test. After the test, the electronic device not only maintains normal operation, but the disassembly and assembly functions between its components are also unaffected, and it can still operate smoothly.

[0051] In some embodiments, the included angle α can be in the range of 30°-60°; for example, the included angle α can be 40°, 45°, or 50°, wherein the preferred angle is 30°.

[0052] In some embodiments, the movement path can be a straight line. For example, the movement path can coincide with the line connecting the front end 12a and the rear end 12b of the latching member 12, and be parallel to the first mounting surface 201 or the second mounting surface 301. Correspondingly, refer to Figure 3 The slot 11 can be a straight slot, and its length direction forms an angle α with the length direction of the first component 200 or the second component 300.

[0053] In some embodiments, the movement path can also be a curve. For example, the movement path is an arc; after the buckle 12 enters the slot 11, it moves gradually in a counterclockwise direction from the length direction perpendicular to the first component 200, with a preset point as the center, until the line connecting the front and rear ends of the buckle 12 forms an angle α with the length direction of the first component 200.

[0054] In some embodiments, the movement path can be a combination of a straight line and a curve. For example, the movement path is a straight line plus an arc. After the buckle 12 enters the slot 11, it first moves a certain distance in a straight line perpendicular to the length direction of the first component 200, and then moves gradually in a counterclockwise direction with a preset point as the center, until the line connecting the front and rear ends of the buckle 12 forms an angle α with the length direction of the first component 200.

[0055] The following examples, using the movement path as a straight line, further illustrate the specific structure of the sliding fastener connecting component 1 of this utility model.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 In the sliding fastener 1, the slot 11 is recessed into the first mounting surface 201 of the first component 200. The slot 11 is a straight groove, the depth direction of which is parallel to the height direction of the first component 200, the length direction of which forms an angle α with the length direction of the first component 200, and the width direction of which forms an angle β with the width direction of the first component 200. The angle β is 90° minus the angle α.

[0057] Secondly, the slot 11 may include a first slot 111 and a second slot 112, which are connected and located at the same height. Furthermore, the first mounting surface 201 has an opening 202 at the corresponding position of the first slot 111, which allows the fastener 12 to enter the first slot 111. Simultaneously, the second slot 112 has an inner top wall 1123 at its end away from the first slot 111, which prevents the fastener 12 from exiting the slot 11 along its depth direction.

[0058] Continue reading below Figure 5 , Figure 6After the snap fastener 12 is inserted into the slot 11, it can reciprocate linearly between the first slot 111 and the second slot 112. During the assembly of the first component 200 and the second component 300, such as... Figure 5 As shown, when the fastener 12 is first inserted into the slot 11, it is located in the first slot 111, with the first component 200 and the second component 300 partially offset. Then, the fastener 12 gradually moves towards the second slot 112, at which point the circumferential edges of the first component 200 and the second component 300 gradually align. This continues until the fastener 12 is fully inserted into the second slot 112, as... Figure 6 As shown, the circumferential edges of the first component 200 and the second component 300 are completely aligned, which means that the first component and the second component are assembled in place.

[0059] See again Figure 7 The snap fastener 12 is attached to the second mounting surface 301 of the second component 300. The snap fastener 12 may include a main body 121 and an insert 122 connected to the main body 121. The main body 121 is configured to be fixedly connected to the second mounting surface 301, and the fixed connection method may include integral connection, screw connection, snap connection, adhesive connection, etc. The insert 122 is configured to abut against the inner groove top wall 1123 of the second groove 112.

[0060] In some embodiments, a reference may be returned. Figure 3 The width of the main body 121 may be greater than the width of the embedded part 122, and the opposite two side surfaces of the main body 121 in the width direction are inclined surfaces, wherein the width of the main body 121 gradually decreases from the end of the main body 121 away from the embedded part 122 toward the embedded part 122.

[0061] Let's look again. Figure 7 The top surface of the insert 122 can be a slope to facilitate the insert 122 entering the second slot 112 and fitting against the inner top wall 1123 of the second slot 112. The thickness of the insert 122 can gradually decrease from the end of the insert 122 adjacent to the main body 121 towards the end of the insert 122 away from the main body 121.

[0062] Secondly, a limiting structure can also be provided between the fastener 12 and the slot 11 to restrict the direction of movement of the fastener 12 in the slot 11. For example, see reference. Figure 7 A connecting portion 123 is provided between the main body 121 and the insert portion 122. This connecting portion 123 provides a basis for the connection between the main body 121 and the insert portion 122. Furthermore, a pin 131 is provided between the connecting portion 123 and the second mounting surface 301. See also... Figure 3In the second slot 112, a clearance seat 132 is provided on the surface facing the pin 131. The limiting structure includes the pin 131 and the clearance seat 132. When the latching member 12 is located in the second slot 112, the pin 131 and the clearance seat 132 engage, preventing the latching member 12 from moving along the width direction of the slot 11. Optionally, the two ends of the pin 131 are respectively fixedly connected to the second mounting surface 301 and the connecting part 123, thereby improving the connection strength between the latching member 12 and the second component 300.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second slot 112 of the slot 11 is configured to fit the shape of the fastener 12. When the fastener 12 is fully positioned in the second slot 112, a plurality of pairs of inclined surfaces can be formed between the slot wall of the second slot 112 and the fastener 12, the inclination angles of these inclined surfaces being complementary. For example, see reference to... Figure 4 The second slot 112 may include a first cavity 1121 for accommodating the main body 121, and a second cavity 1122 for accommodating at least the embedded part 122. The inclination angles of the two sides of the first cavity 1121 are complementary to the inclination angles of the opposite side surfaces of the main body 121 in the width direction. The inclination angle of the inner top wall 1123 of the second cavity 1122 is complementary to the inclination angle of the top surface of the embedded part 122.

[0064] Additionally, in some embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 8 The connecting assembly 100 also includes a locking member 2 for cooperating with the sliding fastener 1 to lock the snap fastener 12 in the slot 11. It should be noted that the purpose of the locking member 2 is to lock the snap fastener 12 more reliably in the slot 11, and it should not be assumed that the first component 200 and the second component 300 would be easily separated without the cooperation of the locking member 2.

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 2 is disposed between the first component 200 and the second component 300, and is located near the edge of the assembly surface. There may be one locking member 2, disposed on one side of the first assembly surface 201 and the second assembly surface 301 in the length / width direction; or there may be two locking members 2, disposed on opposite sides of the first assembly surface 201 and the second assembly surface 301 in the length / width direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, the locking member 2 may include a tenon structure 21 for being disposed on the first member 200 and a slot 22 for being disposed on the second member 300; the tenon structure 21 is configured to be retractable for moving in and out of the slot 22. It should be noted that the tenon structure 21 may also be disposed on the second member 300, and correspondingly, the slot 22 may also be disposed on the first member 200; this is not a limitation.

[0067] Secondly, for example Figure 9 As shown, the locking member 2 also includes an operating member 23 and a first resetting member 24, used to realize the extension and retraction function of the tenon structure 21. Understandably, the tenon structure 21 includes an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the first resetting member 24 pushes at least a portion of the tenon structure 21 out of the first component 200. In the retracted state, the operating member 23 drives the tenon structure 21 to retract into the first component 200.

[0068] During the assembly of the first component 200 and the second component 300, the tenon structure 21 can be configured to first abut against the second mounting surface 301 of the second component 300, causing the tenon structure 21 to switch from an extended state to a retracted state. This continues until the latching member 12 fully reaches the second slot 112 of the latching groove 11. At this point, the tenon structure 21 and the slot 22 are opposite each other in the height direction. Since the tenon structure 21 loses the force exerted on it by the second mounting surface 301, it can return to the extended state and extend into the slot 22 under the action of the first reset member 24, thus automatically completing the self-locking action. Of course, the tenon structure 21 can also switch from the extended state to the retracted state under the action of the operating member 23.

[0069] To further clarify, in related technologies, the main unit module also has a movable latching lever on one side to lock the battery module and the main unit module. However, after conducting bare-machine drop tests on several electronic devices in related technologies, latch breakage was also found. In contrast, in this invention, because the sliding fastener 1 is oriented at a specific angle, when the second component 300 and the first component 200 are dropped as a whole, the inclined surface of the slot 11 has a certain reaction force on the latching member 12. The latching member 12 can distribute part of the impact force generated by the second component 300 on the tenon structure 21, reducing the risk of the second component 300 separating from the first component 200 due to the breakage of the tenon structure 21. Moreover, in other directions besides the direction of movement of the latching member 12, the sliding fastener 1 can provide a certain impact resistance, which can distribute part of the impact force borne by the tenon structure 21, thereby reducing the impact force on the tenon structure 21.

[0070] The following examples illustrate the specific structure of the locking component 2 of this utility model.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first mounting surface 201 of the first component 200 is recessed to form a first receiving cavity 203 for accommodating the tenon structure 21. The top of the first receiving cavity 203 is open to support the protrusion of the tenon structure 21. The first reset member 24 can be a spring and is disposed on the side of the tenon structure 21 away from the second component 300; the two ends of the first reset member 24 can respectively abut against the tenon structure 21 and the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 203. Of course, the first reset member 24 can also be a magnetic component or other parts, which are not limited here. Correspondingly, the second mounting surface 301 of the second component 300 is recessed at the position corresponding to the first receiving cavity 203 to form a slot 22.

[0072] In some embodiments (not shown in the figures), the operating member 23 is disposed on one side of the first component 200 in its length direction and is configured to reciprocate along the height direction of the first component 200. Understandably, in this embodiment, the direction of movement of the operating member 23 is the same as the direction of movement of the tenon structure 21; when the operating member 23 moves up and down, the tenon structure 21 moves up and down accordingly. For example, a connecting arm (not shown) is provided between the operating member 23 and the tenon structure 21, through which the operating member 23 and the tenon structure 21 are relatively fixed.

[0073] In other embodiments, reference may be made to Figure 9 The operating element 23 is disposed on one side of the first component 200 along its length and is configured to reciprocate along the length of the first component 200. The direction of movement of the operating element 23 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the tenon structure 21; the lateral movement of the operating element 23 can be converted into the longitudinal movement of the tenon structure 21. It can be noted that, compared with the up-and-down toggle unlocking method used in the above embodiment, this design makes the operating element 23 move horizontally. This not only enables the simultaneous pressing of the operating element 23 and sliding of the first component 200 to complete the disassembly, allowing for easy disassembly with one hand, but also conforms to the user's force usage habits, making disassembly more convenient.

[0074] The operation described in this utility model is that the operating component 23 moves horizontally. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 The tenon structure 21 has guide portions 211 on opposite sides perpendicular to the moving direction of the operating member 23. The guide portions 211 can be planar structures, parallel to both the moving direction of the operating member 23 and the extension / retraction direction of the tenon structure 21. Correspondingly, the operating member 23 has mating arms 231 extending into the guide portions 211 of the tenon structure 21. Continuing as... Figure 10 As shown, the guide portion 211 is provided with an arc surface 2111 for contacting the mating arm 231. The extension trajectory of the arc surface 2111 may be from one end away from the slot 22 toward the slot 22, and tend to gradually move away from the operating member 23.

[0075] When the tenon structure 21 is in the extended state, the operating member 23 is in the initial position. At this time, the contact portion of the mating arm 231 is located between the highest and lowest positions of the arc surface 2111. This contact portion can be understood as the part of the mating arm 231 that contacts the arc surface 2111, and the highest and lowest positions can be understood as the two extreme positions of the arc surface 2111 in the height direction, with the highest position being closer to the second assembly surface 301 than the lowest position. Then, when the operating member 23 is pressed, the operating member 23 moves closer to the tenon structure 21, causing the mating arm 231 to contact the arc surface 2111 of the guide portion 211 and slide towards the highest position of the arc surface 2111, thereby pressing down the tenon structure 21 until the tenon structure 21 returns to the retracted state. At this time, the operating member 23 is in the pressed position, and the contact position of the mating arm 231 can be located at the highest position of the arc surface 2111. When the external force on the operating member 23 is removed, the tenon structure 21 returns to the extended state under the elastic force of the first reset member 24.

[0076] Secondly, in order to enable the operating components to automatically reset, please refer to... Figure 10 A second reset member 25 is provided between the operating member 23 and the tenon structure 21. This second reset member 25 is configured to generate elastic potential energy when the operating member 23 approaches the tenon structure 21, and to reset the operating member 23 when the external force on the operating member 23 is removed. It should be further noted that, given the elasticity of both the second reset member 25 and the aforementioned first reset member 24, they also serve to buffer the impact force on the tenon structure 21.

[0077] Continue reading Figure 10 A second receiving cavity 204 is recessed on the corresponding side of the first component 200 along its length to accommodate the operating component 23. A partition 205 is provided between the first receiving cavity 203 and the second receiving cavity 204, through which the mating arm 231 of the operating component 23 can pass to engage with the guide portion 211 of the tenon structure 21. Furthermore, a guide arm 232 is provided on the side of the operating component 23 adjacent to the tenon structure 21, for insertion into the partition 205 to provide guidance and ensure that the guide arm 232 can move on the arc surface 2111 of the guide portion 211. A second reset component 25 is disposed between the operating component 23 and the partition 205. The second reset component 25 can be a spring, with its two ends respectively abutting against the side wall of the operating component 23 and the partition 205. Alternatively, the second reset component 25 can be a magnetic component or other similar part.

[0078] Furthermore, to ensure that the tenon structure 21 extends and retracts vertically, a guide post and a guide groove are provided between the tenon structure 21 and the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 203. During the extension and retraction of the tenon structure 21, at least a portion of the guide post is located in the guide groove, and the length direction of the guide post and the guide groove is parallel to the extension and retraction direction.

[0079] Furthermore, this utility model also constructs an electronic device, which includes a battery module and a host module; an electrical connection component 400 is provided between the battery module and the host module to provide a basis for the battery module to supply power to the host module; a connection component 100 is also provided between the battery module and the host module to realize the assembly connection between the battery module and the host module. The battery module can be equivalent to the first component 200 mentioned above, and the housing surface of the battery module facing the host module can be understood as the first mounting surface 201. Correspondingly, the host module is equivalent to the second component 300 mentioned above, and the housing surface of the host module facing the battery module can be understood as the second mounting surface 301.

[0080] In summary, by setting the orientation of the latch 12 in its assembled state to form an angle of no more than 90° with the length direction of the first component 200 or the second component 300, this electronic device ensures sufficient drop resistance. After a bare-machine drop test, the device can still function normally and can be easily assembled and disassembled. Secondly, this electronic device also features a horizontally unlocked locking component 2, enabling one-handed removal of the battery module and providing quick assembly and disassembly. Simultaneously, the tilted orientation of the latch 12 effectively protects the locking component 2 from drop damage. Therefore, this electronic device simultaneously possesses both good reliability and ease of operation.

[0081] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
