The battery assembly 200 includes a battery housing 201 that is inserted into the end sidewall of the terminal housing 101, a battery cell 202 encapsulated inside the battery housing 201, a connector plug 203 that is movably inserted into the middle sidewall of the battery housing 201, and a positioning block 204 that is inserted into the end sidewall of the battery housing 201. The connector plug 203 is used in conjunction with the connector socket 104. The connector plug 203 is electrically connected to the battery cell 202 through a wire. The end of the positioning block 204 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning groove at the end of the terminal housing 101. The battery housing 201 is symmetrically arranged at the end of the terminal housing 101.

[0019] The terminal housing 101 serves as the main support, securely housing the motherboard 102. The motherboard 102 integrates various electronic components and circuits required for terminal operation and is the core component for realizing terminal functions. The screen 103 is embedded in the center of the terminal housing 101 using a sealed installation method, ensuring display functionality while effectively preventing dust and moisture intrusion, thus ensuring operational stability. The connector socket 104 is fitted and installed on the bottom side wall of the terminal housing 101, establishing an electrical connection with the motherboard 102 through a precise guiding design, providing an interface for power transmission to the battery assembly 200. Regarding the battery assembly 200, the battery housing 201 can be plugged into the end side wall of the terminal housing 101, and the encapsulated battery cells 202 inside provide the power source. The connector plug 203 is movably inserted into the middle side wall of the battery housing 201, forming a detachable fit with the connector socket 104 of the terminal housing 101 to achieve power transmission. The positioning block 204 is inserted into the end side wall of the battery housing 201, and its end can be accurately inserted into the positioning groove at the end of the terminal housing 101, which plays a role in stabilizing the position of the battery assembly 200. The battery housings 201 are symmetrically distributed at the end of the terminal housing 101 to ensure the balance and stability of the overall structure, and also facilitate hot-swappable battery replacement for charging and maintenance, keeping the terminal in normal operating condition.

[0020] Specifically, a plug 105 is fixedly connected to the end of the terminal housing 101, and a slot for use with the plug 105 is opened at the end of the battery housing 201. The side wall of the end of the battery housing 201 is tightly fitted with the stepped edge of the side wall of the plug 105.

[0021] The insert 105 at the end of the terminal housing 101 fits tightly with the slot at the end of the battery housing 201, and the stepped edges of the side walls of the two fit tightly together to form a mechanical limit and positioning, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0022] Furthermore, a button 106 is inserted into the side wall of the terminal housing 101, and the end of the button 106 makes elastic contact with the button on the side wall of the motherboard 102.

[0023] The button 106 on the side wall of the terminal housing 101 has its end in elastic contact with the button on the side wall of the motherboard 102. Pressing the button 106 can trigger the corresponding button function on the motherboard 102.

[0024] Furthermore, a hand position groove structure is provided on the back of the terminal housing 101, and a back plate 107 is sealed and installed in the middle of the back of the terminal housing 101, with the back plate 107 inserted into the outside of the motherboard 102.

[0025] The hand-position groove structure on the back of the terminal housing 101 is ergonomically designed for easy gripping; the back plate 107 is sealed and installed in the middle of the back and inserted into the outside of the motherboard 102, providing protection for the motherboard 102.

[0026] Preferably, a spring 205 is fixedly connected inside the battery housing 201, and the end of the spring 205 is bolted to the bottom of the connector plug 203. A handle 206 is fixedly connected to the end of the connector plug 203, and the end of the handle 206 is movably inserted into the middle of the sliding groove on the side wall of the battery housing 201.

[0027] The spring 205 inside the battery housing 201 is fixed at one end by a bolt, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the connector plug 203, forming an elastic support structure. The handle 206 at the end of the connector plug 203 is movably inserted into a sliding groove on the side wall of the battery housing 201, facilitating the insertion and removal of the connector plug 203.

[0028] It should be noted that the side wall of the battery housing 201 has an arc-shaped groove structure, and a lever 207 is inserted in the middle of the arc-shaped groove on the side wall of the battery housing 201. The end of the lever 207 is movably inserted into the side wall of the positioning block 204. A tension spring 208 is fixedly connected to the end side wall of the positioning block 204, and the other end of the tension spring 208 is fixedly connected to the inside of the battery housing 201.

[0029] The arc-shaped groove on the side wall of the battery housing 201 cooperates with the lever 207. The end of the lever 207 is inserted into the side wall of the positioning block 204. By moving the lever 207, the positioning block 204 can be moved.

When the lever 207 moves to the bend at the end of the arc-shaped groove, it can be locked by the pull of the tension spring 208, thereby limiting the positioning block 204 and preventing the battery housing 201 from loosening.

[0030] When replacing the battery, the operator moves the lever 207 on the side wall of the battery housing 201, causing the positioning block 204 to overcome the tension of the tension spring 208 and exit from the positioning groove at the end of the terminal housing 101, thus releasing the positioning constraint on the battery housing 201. Then, holding the handle 206 at the end of the connector plug 203, and with the assistance of the elasticity of the spring 205, the connector plug 203 is smoothly pulled out from the connector socket 104 of the terminal housing 101, allowing the old battery assembly 200 to be removed. When installing the new battery assembly 200, the slot at the end of the battery housing 201 is aligned with the insert 105 at the end of the terminal housing 101, and the battery housing 201 is pushed until the positioning block 204 automatically engages with the positioning groove at the end of the terminal housing 101 under the action of the tension spring 208. Simultaneously, the connector plug 203 precisely mates with the connector socket 104, completing the battery replacement while maintaining a continuous power supply, achieving hot-swappable functionality. During use, the operator can trigger the corresponding function of the motherboard 102 by pressing the button 106 on the side wall of the terminal housing 101; when holding the terminal, the hand position groove on the back provides a comfortable grip, and the back plate 107 protects the motherboard 102.

[0031] In summary, the dual-battery design, combined with a precise insertion and removal structure, enables hot-swappable batteries, preventing terminal downtime due to battery replacement, ensuring continuous equipment operation, and improving work efficiency. The fit between the insertion strip 105 and the slot, the positioning block 204 and the positioning groove, and the tight fit of the stepped edge ensure a secure connection between the battery assembly 200 and the terminal housing 101, preventing the battery from loosening or falling off during use. The design of the handle 206 and the lever 207 makes battery insertion and removal easier and more convenient, reducing operator workload; the ergonomic hand groove design enhances hand comfort.
