Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery packaging technology, and more specifically to a hearing aid battery box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, hearing aid batteries are mainly packaged based on a single specification design: each specification of battery uses its own dedicated packaging, commonly including paper blister cards, aluminum-plastic composite bags, etc. Although this type of packaging can meet the basic storage needs of single-specification batteries, it has obvious shortcomings in actual use scenarios.

[0003] Hearing-impaired users often need to carry spare batteries, and depending on the number of hearing aids they use or their backup needs, they may need to carry batteries of various sizes. Because the packaging sizes and shapes of different battery sizes are not standardized, they cannot be stored together in one place. Users need to carry multiple separate packages, which not only takes up storage space in backpacks and pockets, but also makes it easy for batteries to be lost due to the loose packaging. This is especially problematic in mobile scenarios such as outings and travel, resulting in a poor carrying experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A hearing aid battery case includes a housing, a battery compartment slidably disposed within the housing, the battery compartment being slidable out of the housing, a fixing component being disposed between the battery compartment and the housing, the fixing component achieving relative fixation between the battery compartment and the housing when the battery compartment is fully inserted into the housing, the top of the battery compartment being open, and a plurality of partitions being disposed inside the battery compartment, the plurality of partitions dividing the battery compartment into a plurality of storage slots.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the fixing component is an elastic arm disposed on the side wall of the housing, the elastic arm has a slot on the side facing the battery compartment, and a protrusion protrudes from the outside of the battery compartment. When the battery compartment is fully inserted into the housing, the protrusion engages with the slot.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the protrusion is spherical, and the shape of the slot is adapted to the protrusion.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the battery compartment slides along the length direction of the shell, one end of the shell along the length direction has an opening for the battery compartment to pass through, and the other end has a window for pushing the battery compartment.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a sealing plate is provided at the end of the battery compartment away from the window; when the battery compartment is fully inserted into the housing, the sealing plate fits against the periphery of the opening, and the end of the battery compartment away from the sealing plate blocks the window.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a limiting block is provided on the inner side of the shell at the opening, and a limiting step is provided on the peripheral side wall of the battery compartment near the window; when the end of the battery compartment near the window moves to the opening, the limiting step fits into the limiting block.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: two limiting blocks are provided, and anti-rotation ribs are respectively provided on the peripheral sidewalls on both sides of the battery compartment. The anti-rotation ribs extend along the length direction of the battery compartment, and the bottoms of the two anti-rotation ribs are respectively attached to the limiting blocks.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of mounting slots are vertically formed in the battery compartment, the plurality of mounting slots are arranged along the length direction of the battery compartment, and a plurality of partitions are respectively disposed in the mounting slots.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The partitioned storage slots can store multiple batteries individually, enabling centralized storage of batteries of various sizes and avoiding the hassle of carrying multiple separate packages, thus saving a significant amount of storage space; the slide-out battery compartment makes it easy for users to take out and put in batteries, and the operation is convenient; the fixing components prevent the battery compartment from loosening and sliding out during carrying, ensuring storage stability; the overall design significantly improves the portability and reliability of hearing aid batteries.

[0015] 2. The battery compartment is secured to the housing using a snap-fit ​​assembly with a flexible arm on the side wall and a protrusion on the battery compartment. This eliminates the need for a complex locking mechanism, ensuring reliable fixation between the battery compartment and the housing. The flexible arm has a deformation range, allowing the protrusion to press against the flexible arm and smoothly engage with the slot when the battery compartment is pushed in, eliminating the need for additional operation during the fixing process. When removing the battery, the user can easily disengage the protrusion from the slot by pulling the battery compartment slightly or pushing it from one end of the window. This convenient and intuitive operation ensures the stability of the battery compartment during storage, preventing it from slipping out during transport and enhancing user convenience. Furthermore, the simple and compact structure reduces manufacturing costs.

[0016] 3. The limiting block inside the opening of the housing cooperates with the limiting step at the end of the battery compartment to limit the maximum distance the battery compartment slides out of the housing, preventing the battery compartment from completely detaching from the housing due to excessive sliding, preventing the battery compartment from being lost or the battery from falling and being damaged, and ensuring that the battery compartment always remains connected to the housing.

[0017] 4. The two limit blocks cooperate with the anti-rotation ribs on both sides of the battery compartment to prevent the battery compartment from rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, ensuring that the battery compartment always slides smoothly along the length of the shell, avoiding misalignment of the storage slot, battery tipping, or failure of the protrusion and the slot to engage due to rotation; at the same time, the design of the anti-rotation ribs extending along the length direction can play an anti-rotation role throughout the entire sliding process of the battery compartment.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hearing aid battery case includes a housing 1, with a battery compartment 2 slidably disposed within the housing 1, and the battery compartment 2 can slide out of the housing 1. The housing 1 has a hollow internal structure, forming an elongated cavity that conforms to the shape of the battery compartment 2, ensuring that the battery compartment 2 can be completely stored. A fixing component is provided between the battery compartment 2 and the housing 1. When the battery compartment 2 is fully inserted into the housing 1, the fixing component secures the battery compartment 2 to the housing 1, preventing the battery compartment 2 from accidentally sliding out during normal carrying.

[0027] The top of the battery compartment 2 is open, allowing users to directly access and remove spare batteries from the top after the battery compartment 2 slides out of the housing 1. The battery compartment 2 contains several partitions 3, which divide it into several storage slots. Each battery can be stored in its own slot without interference between adjacent batteries. Several vertical mounting slots 13 are also provided within the battery compartment 2, arranged along its length. The partitions 3 are respectively positioned within each mounting slot 13. In this embodiment, the partitions 3 are fixed within the mounting slots 13, either integrally molded or glued. In other embodiments, the partitions 3 can be detachably connected to the mounting slots 13 via an interference fit, allowing users to adjust the spacing by removing the partitions 3 to accommodate larger batteries.

[0028] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the fixing component is specifically an elastic arm 4 disposed on the side wall of the housing 1. A through hole is opened in the bottom side wall of the housing 1, and the elastic arm 4 is integrally formed at the through hole, allowing the elastic arm 4 to deform outward. A slot 5 is opened on the inner side of the elastic arm 4 facing the battery compartment 2. A protrusion 6 protrudes from the outer side of the battery compartment 2, and the protrusion 6 is integrally formed with the battery compartment 2. When the battery compartment 2 is completely inserted into the housing 1, the protrusion 6 and the slot 5 engage. This achieves relative fixation between the battery compartment 2 and the housing 1. The user needs to actively apply a certain external force to separate the protrusion 6 from the slot 5.

[0029] The protrusion 6 is spherical, specifically hemispherical. The shape of the slot 5 is adapted to the protrusion 6. The spherical protrusion 6 can be more easily inserted into and slid out of the slot 5, and will not be stuck in actual use.

[0030] The battery compartment 2 slides along the length of the housing 1. One end of the housing 1 along the length of the housing 1 has an opening 7 for the battery compartment 2 to pass through, and the other end has a window 8 for pushing the battery compartment 2. Both the opening 7 and the window 8 are connected to the internal cavity of the housing 1. The user can insert their finger into the window 8 to push the battery compartment 2 out of the opening 7.

[0031] A sealing plate 9 is provided at the end of the battery compartment 2 away from the window 8. The sealing plate 9 is integrally formed with the battery compartment 2. The cross-sectional area of ​​the sealing plate 9 is larger than that of the battery compartment 2, so that when the battery compartment 2 is completely inserted into the housing 1, the sealing plate 9 fits against the periphery of the opening 7, which plays a limiting role. At the same time, the end of the battery compartment 2 away from the sealing plate 9 will block the window 8, so that when the battery compartment 2 is completely inserted into the housing 1, both ends of the housing 1 are blocked, which has a good dustproof effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, the elastic arm 4 is located at the end of the housing 1 near the opening 7, and a clearance slide 14 is provided from the opening 7 to the elastic arm 4. The clearance slide 14 is used to avoid the protrusion 6, so that when the battery compartment 2 is inserted inward, the protrusion 6 will not be stuck at the opening 7.

[0033] A limiting block 10 is provided inside the opening 7 of the housing 1. A limiting step 11 is provided on the peripheral side wall of the battery compartment 2 near the window 8. The limiting step 11 protrudes from the peripheral side wall of the battery compartment 2. When the end of the battery compartment 2 near the window 8 moves to the opening 7, the limiting step 11 and the limiting block 10 are engaged. This limits the maximum distance that the battery compartment 2 can slide out of the housing 1, preventing the battery compartment 2 from completely detaching from the housing 1 due to excessive sliding, and ensuring that the battery compartment 2 always remains connected to the housing 1.

[0034] Two limiting blocks 10 are specifically provided, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the battery compartment 2. Anti-rotation ribs 12 are respectively provided on the peripheral walls of both sides of the battery compartment 2, extending along the length of the battery compartment 2. The bottoms of the two anti-rotation ribs 12 are respectively abutted against the limiting blocks 10. This prevents the battery compartment 2 from rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, ensuring that the battery compartment 2 always slides smoothly along the length of the housing 1, avoiding misalignment of the storage slot, battery tipping, or failure of the engagement between the protrusion 6 and the slot 5 due to rotation. Furthermore, because the anti-rotation ribs 12 extend along the length of the battery compartment 2, they provide anti-rotation throughout the entire sliding process of the battery compartment 2.

[0035] This utility model can centrally store batteries of various specifications. The battery compartment 2 is separated into independent storage slots by the partition 3 and the mounting groove 13, eliminating the need to carry multiple loose packages and saving space. The battery compartment 2 slides along the shell 1 and is easily pushed and placed in conjunction with the rear window 8. The elastic arm 4 and the spherical crown-shaped protrusion 6 are engaged, which can be stably fixed without complicated mechanisms, making operation convenient and labor-saving. It has good dust protection. When the battery compartment 2 is stored, the sealing plate 9 fits with the opening 7 and the rear window 8 is blocked to prevent impurities and avoid spare battery failure. The sliding is stable and safe. The limit block 10 prevents the battery compartment 2 from falling off and the anti-rotation rib 12 prevents rotation, avoiding misalignment of the storage slot and battery tipping, thus improving the reliability of use.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
