Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of VR head-mounted display technology, and in particular to a VR head-mounted display battery mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] A VR headset is a wearable display device designed to provide an immersive virtual reality experience. Through a built-in high-resolution display and a sophisticated optical system, it replaces everything in the user's field of vision with virtually generated images or scenes. When the user wears the headset, built-in sensors track head movements in real time and feed back changes in the user's perspective to a computer or mobile device, generating corresponding images on the display screen, making the user feel as if they are truly in a virtual world. Simultaneously, through controllers or other interactive devices, users can operate within the virtual environment and interact with virtual objects.

[0003] As the power source for VR devices, the performance and replacement methods of batteries directly impact the user experience. While the built-in battery design in traditional VR products allows for a more compact design, users often require professional service support to replace the battery when its performance deteriorates or it becomes damaged. This not only increases maintenance costs for users and artificially increases the difficulty of disassembly and repair, but also contradicts the principles of environmental protection and reuse, and may place an unnecessary burden on the environment.

[0034] As the power source for VR devices, the performance and replacement methods of batteries directly impact the user experience. While the built-in battery design in traditional VR products allows for a more compact design, users often require professional service support to replace the battery when its performance deteriorates or it becomes damaged. This not only increases maintenance costs for users and artificially increases the difficulty of disassembly and repair, but also contradicts the principles of environmental protection and reuse, and may place an unnecessary burden on the environment.

[0035] To solve the above problems, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a VR headset battery 32 mounting structure 100, including a housing 1, a motherboard 2, a battery module 3, and a connector 4. The housing 1 has a mounting cavity; the motherboard 2 is disposed in the mounting cavity; the battery module 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity and spaced apart from the motherboard 2, and the battery module 3 has an outwardly extending connecting part 321; the connector 4 has a first end 41 and a second end, the first end 41 is electrically connected to the motherboard 2, and the second end is detachably connected to the connecting part 321, so as to realize the electrical connection between the battery module 3 and the motherboard 2, and facilitate the installation and removal of the battery module 3 in the housing 1.

[0036] This utility model proposes a VR headset battery 32 mounting structure 100, including a housing 1, a motherboard 2, a battery module 3, and connectors 4. The housing 1 forms an mounting cavity to provide a fixed mounting space. The motherboard 2 is mounted inside the mounting cavity; it is the core carrier of the electronic components in the entire VR headset, responsible for implementing various functions of the VR headset, such as data processing and signal control. The battery module 3 is mounted inside the mounting cavity and spaced apart from the motherboard 2. This avoids potential heat interference between the battery 32 and the motherboard 2 due to their close proximity. The battery 32 generates heat during operation; if it is too close to the motherboard 2, the electronic components on the motherboard 2 may experience performance degradation or even damage due to overheating. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement facilitates wiring and the installation of other components, making the internal structure of the entire VR headset more rational. The battery module 3 provides power support for the operation of the VR headset. The connector 4 is a key component connecting the battery module 3 and the motherboard 2. The connector 4 has a first end 41 and a second end. The first end 41 is electrically connected to the motherboard 2, and the second end is detachably connected to the connection part 321 of the battery module 3. During product use, when the battery module 3 needs replacement or maintenance, the detachable connection allows users or maintenance personnel to easily remove the battery module 3 from the housing 1 without the need for complex disassembly of the entire VR headset, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost, and improving product maintenance efficiency.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, to improve the stability of the electrical connection between the battery module 3 and the motherboard 2, both the connecting part 321 and the connector 4 are FPCs.

[0038] FPC, or Flexible Printed Circuit, possesses excellent flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the relative positional relationship between the battery module 3 and the motherboard 2. It can be bent and folded, enabling flexible connections within limited space. Compared to traditional rigid connections, the flexibility of FPC significantly reduces stress concentration during the connection process, minimizing the risk of connection failure and improving reliability. Furthermore, FPC's thinness and light weight minimize the burden on the VR headset, contributing to product comfort and portability. FPC manufacturing and processing technologies are relatively mature, facilitating molding and assembly, which reduces production costs and increases efficiency, promoting large-scale production and application, and supporting the widespread adoption and promotion of VR headsets.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery module 3 within the housing 1, please refer to... Figures 2 to 5The motherboard 2 is located inside the mounting cavity at the end away from the VR headset facing the human head, and the battery module 3 is set perpendicular to the motherboard 2 and extends along the thickness direction of the VR headset.

[0040] The motherboard 2 is located at the end of the mounting cavity furthest from the user's head. This layout helps maintain an appropriate distance between the electronic components and the user, preventing damage to the components due to body heat, sweat, or other factors. It also helps reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the user. The battery module 3 is positioned perpendicular to the motherboard 2 and extends along its thickness. This vertical, three-dimensional layout fully utilizes the space in the thickness direction of the VR headset, avoiding excessive extension in the planar direction. This helps control the overall size of the product, making it easier for users to wear and carry. Furthermore, this reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the battery module 3. When maintenance is required, simply opening the front or back cover of the VR headset allows access to the battery module 3, simplifying maintenance and improving the convenience of the VR headset.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, for ease of installation and fixation of connector 4, please refer to... Figures 2 to 5 The housing 1 extends along the thickness direction of the VR headset and forms a connecting post 11. The connecting part 321 and the second end of the connector 4 are fixed to the connecting post 11.

[0042] The connecting post 11 provides a stable support structure for fixing the connecting part 321 and the connecting piece 4. Fixing both to the connecting post 11 makes the connection more secure and reliable, reducing the possibility of loosening due to shaking, collisions, or other factors during use. Since the housing 1 itself has a certain strength and stability, the connecting post 11, as part of the housing 1, provides a stable anchor point for fixing the battery module 3, ensuring the battery module 3 remains stable after installation and will not shift due to external forces. This ensures that the electrical connection between the battery module 3 and the motherboard 2 remains in good condition at all times. At the same time, this fixing method also facilitates rapid positioning and installation during product assembly, improving production efficiency and ensuring consistent product quality. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting post 11 extends along the thickness direction of the VR headset and has a certain height, so that the top of the connecting post 11 is close to the end of the VR headset along the thickness direction. The connector 4 extends in the same direction as the connecting post 11. The first end 41 of the connector 4 is connected to the motherboard 2, and the second end of the connector 4 is fixed to the top of the connecting post 11 with the connecting part 321 on the battery module 3. This makes the part where the battery module 3 is connected to the motherboard 2 close to the end of the VR headset along the thickness direction. When it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the battery module 3, it is only necessary to open the front cover or the back cover on one side of the VR headset to operate the battery module 3, thereby improving the convenience of battery module 3 maintenance.

[0043] For further details, please refer to... Figures 2 to 5 The first end 41 of the connector 4 is attached to the main board 2 by a pressure plate, and the second end of the connector 4 and the connecting part 321 are attached to the connecting post 11 by a pressure plate.

[0044] Clamping and locking is a common mechanical fixing method with advantages such as convenient operation and firm fixation. By clamping the first end 41 of the connector 4 to the main board 2 with a clamping plate and securing it with screws, and by clamping the second end of the connector 4 to the connecting part 321 on the battery module 3 to the connecting post 11 with a clamping plate and securing it with screws, a stable electrical connection is achieved between the main board 2 and the battery module 3. This prevents signal transmission interruption or instability caused by loose connector 4, ensuring a stable power transfer from the battery 32 to the main board 2. This locking method is also very convenient for repairing and replacing the battery module 3; disassembly is achieved simply by loosening the clamping plate, improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the battery module 3, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty, and facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the connecting part 321, ensuring the reliability of the connecting part 321 and the long-term stability of the product.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery module 3 within the housing 1, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The battery module 3 includes a fixed shell 31 and a battery 32. The fixed shell 31 encloses a cavity, the battery 32 is disposed in the cavity, and the connecting part 321 is disposed in the battery 32.

[0046] The mounting shell 31 provides protection for the battery 32, preventing it from being damaged by external physical forces such as impacts and compression during use, thus ensuring the safety of the battery 32. The cavity formed by the mounting shell 31 effectively accommodates the battery 32, securing it securely within the shell and preventing it from shifting inside. This reduces friction and collisions between the battery 32 and the shell 1, extending the battery's lifespan. The connecting part 321 on the battery 32 facilitates electrical connection with the mainboard 2, ensuring stable power transmission. It also allows for quick and accurate connection when replacing the battery 32, improving the product's ease of use and maintenance efficiency.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The fixed shell 31 includes a mounting shell 311 and a cover plate 312. The mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 enclose a cavity, and the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are detachably connected.

[0048] The detachable connection design of the mounting housing 311 and the cover plate 312 facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the battery module 3. During production, the battery 32 can be installed into the mounting housing 311 first, and then the cover plate 312 can be detachably connected to the mounting housing 311 to complete the assembly of the battery module 3. When it is necessary to replace or repair the battery 32, simply remove the cover plate 312 to access the battery 32 without damaging the entire mounting housing 31, greatly reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. At the same time, this detachable design also facilitates the inspection and cleaning of the internal structure of the battery module 3, improving product reliability and lifespan, making product maintenance more flexible and convenient, and adapting to the usage needs and maintenance scenarios of different users.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are square in shape, and the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are connected and fixed by snap-fit ​​and / or screw-fit.

[0050] The square shape of the mounting shell 311 and cover plate 312 makes them regular in shape, facilitating manufacturing and processing, and also making it easy to install with other internal components of the VR headset. Snap-fit ​​and screw-fit are common detachable connection methods. Snap-fit ​​offers quick and convenient connection, requiring no tools during installation and disassembly, allowing for rapid assembly and disassembly of the battery module 3, improving production efficiency and user experience. Screw-fit offers high connection strength and stability, ensuring a tight connection between the mounting shell 311 and cover plate 312, preventing loosening due to vibration or other factors during use, and ensuring the structural stability and safety of the battery module 3. This flexible combination of these two connection methods satisfies the need for rapid assembly while ensuring reliable connection, providing more options and advantages for the design and use of the battery module 3. In this embodiment, both the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are rectangular structures. The mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are fixed together on one side by screws, while the remaining three sides are engaged by snap-fit ​​connections. This facilitates the snap-fit ​​installation of the cover plate 312 onto the mounting shell 311. If all four sides were snap-fit ​​fixed, after three sides were assembled, the remaining side would be difficult to engage due to insufficient deformation or movement space between the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312. Therefore, the remaining side is connected by screws. During installation, after each of the three snap-fit ​​sides of the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 is installed, the two are then fastened together with bolts or screws to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7Both the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 are provided with a fixing part 31a. The fixing part 31a is formed with fixing holes extending along the thickness direction of the VR device. Each fixing hole is used to insert fasteners to connect the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 to the housing 1.

[0052] The design of the fixing part 31a and the fixing hole provides an effective connection method for fixing the battery module 3 to the VR headset housing 1. Fasteners pass through the fixing holes, firmly fixing the mounting shell 311 and the cover plate 312 to the housing 1. This ensures the stable position of the battery module 3 inside the VR headset, preventing displacement due to shaking during use. This ensures the electrical connection between the battery module 3 and the mainboard 2 remains in good condition, avoiding malfunctions caused by loose connections. Furthermore, this fixing method allows for adjustment of the type and number of fasteners according to actual needs, adapting to different installation requirements and strength requirements. This improves the product's versatility and adaptability, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire VR headset battery 32 mounting structure 100, and providing strong support for the long-term use of the product. In this embodiment, the cover plate 312 has three fixing parts 31a spaced apart along its length. The mounting shell 311 has one fixing part 31a on each of its left and right sides along its length, and two fixing parts 31a along its length on the side of the mounting shell 311 facing away from the cover plate 312. Each fixing part 31a forms a fixing hole. In other words, seven fixing holes are formed around the battery module 3. Threaded holes are formed on the housing 1 corresponding to these seven fixing holes. Fasteners such as screws pass through the fixing holes and are screwed into the threaded holes, thereby fixing the battery module 3 within the housing 1 and ensuring the stability of the battery module 3. Furthermore, the head orientation of the circumferential screws on the battery module 3 is consistent with the orientation of the screws on the connecting post 11. This allows for easy disassembly and assembly by simply opening the front or rear cover on one side of the VR headset, improving the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of the battery module 3.
