[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a timing instrument battery compartment snap-on fixing device, including: a timer 1, which is provided with a sliding groove, and a battery compartment cover 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall via a hinge, and the bottom of the battery compartment cover 11 is provided with a groove; a pressing assembly 2, including a rotating shaft 22 and a pressing plate 23, the rotating shaft 22 being slidably connected to the side wall of the battery compartment cover 11, and the pressing plate 23 being rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 22 for fixing the battery; and a quick-release assembly 3, including a locking block 32 and a locking spring 33, both of which are provided in the sliding groove of the timer 1, the locking block 32 being slidably connected to the timer 1 and the groove of the battery compartment cover 11, the top of the locking block 32 being wedge-shaped, and the two ends of the locking spring 33 being welded to the timer 1 and the locking block 32 respectively.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the battery compartment cover 11 is curved.

[0034] It should also be noted that a pressure sensor is bolted to one end of a spring inside the battery compartment, and an indicator light is installed on the side wall of the timing instrument 1. The indicator light is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and is used to monitor whether the battery is in the correct position.

[0035] In this embodiment, the timer 1, the battery compartment cover 11, the clamping component 2, and the quick-release component 3 constitute a snap-fit ​​fixing device for the battery compartment of a timing instrument according to this application.

[0036] It should also be noted that the battery in this application can be an AA battery, an AAA battery, etc. Figure 1 In this embodiment, a No. 5 battery is used as an example for description. Of course, other types of batteries can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail below.

[0037] Understandable Figure 1 The diagram only schematically illustrates some of the components of the timing instrument; the actual shape, size, location, and construction of these components are not subject to change. Figure 1 Due to limitations, timing instruments can also include those that are more advanced than those designed for use with other instruments. Figure 1 More or fewer parts.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Specifically, a rotating sleeve 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the battery compartment cover 11, and the rotating sleeve 21 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 22.

[0040] The rotating sleeve 21 has a rotating handle on one side, and the side wall of the rotating handle has anti-slip texture.

[0041] Specifically, a soft pad is provided on one side of the pressure plate 23, and the soft pad is glued to the pressure plate 23.

[0042] Specifically, the clamping assembly 2 also includes: guide shafts 24, two of which are located at both ends of the clamping plate 23, slidably connected to the battery compartment cover 11, and welded to the clamping plate 23.

[0043] In this embodiment, rotating the rotating sleeve 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to move along the sleeve axis through the threaded transmission, thereby adjusting the position of the pressing plate 23 and precisely adjusting the degree of pressing of the pressing plate 23 on the battery. When the pressing plate 23 presses the battery, the soft pad directly contacts the battery, avoiding hard contact between the pressing plate 23 and the battery and preventing damage to the battery casing. When the pressing plate 23 moves, the guide shaft 24 slides along the battery compartment cover 11, restricting the direction of movement of the pressing plate 23 and preventing it from deviating.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] Specifically, the quick-release assembly 3 also includes a reset torsion spring 31, which is sleeved on the hinge shaft and welded to both ends of the hinge.

[0046] Specifically, a sliding block 34 is welded to the side wall of the card block 32, and a groove 2 is provided on the side wall of the sliding block 34.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the battery compartment cover 11 is closed, the reset torsion spring 31 stores force. After the locking block 32 disengages from the first groove, the reset torsion spring 31 releases its elastic force to drive the battery compartment cover 11 to open automatically, so that the battery compartment cover 11 can be opened automatically and quickly. The sliding block 34 is pushed through the second groove, which drives the locking block 32 to compress the locking spring 33 and slide, so that the locking block 32 can be operated manually to achieve the quick-release function.

[0048] In actual use, the operator first places the battery inside the battery compartment of the timer 1, then rotates the battery compartment cover 11 via the hinge to block the opening of the battery compartment of the timer 1. The bottom of the battery compartment cover 11 moves along the wedge-shaped top of the locking block 32, pushing the locking block 32 into the slide groove of the timer 1. Then, the groove of the battery compartment cover 11 moves to the top of the locking block 32. The locking block 32 is pushed into the groove of the battery compartment cover 11 by the locking spring 33, thus locking the position of the battery compartment cover 11. Then, the rotating handle is turned to make the rotating sleeve 21 rotate. The rotating sleeve 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. Due to the thread action, the rotating shaft 22 moves into the battery compartment, thereby pushing the pressing plate 23 into the battery compartment so that the soft pad is pressed against the side wall of the battery. When it is necessary to open the battery compartment, the sliding block 34 is moved, and the reset torsion spring 31 can automatically open the battery compartment cover 11.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
