Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery mounting structure technology, and in particular to a watertight battery compartment. Background Technology

[0002] A watertight battery compartment is a key structural component used to house batteries, facilitate power transmission between batteries and external devices, and provide a waterproof seal. It is widely used in diving equipment, outdoor electronic instruments, and other applications. Existing watertight battery compartments mostly use a screw-fastened connection between the compartment body and cover. While this ensures a certain level of connection rigidity and sealing performance, disassembly and assembly require specialized tools, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and hindering rapid battery replacement, especially in special operating environments such as in the field or underwater. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a watertight battery compartment structure that can guarantee reliable sealing and connection while enabling rapid, tool-free battery disassembly and assembly.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model: like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a watertight battery compartment, including a compartment body 1 and a cover 2. The compartment body 1 serves as the core housing structure, and has a chamber for accommodating batteries 3. The shape of the chamber body 1 is adapted to the shape of the batteries 3. The compartment body 1 and the cover 2 are connected and separated by a threaded connection. Specifically, the compartment body 1 has an internal thread 11, and the cover 2 has an external thread 21 that mates with the internal thread 11. This threaded connection design constitutes the core structure for opening and closing the battery compartment, allowing the operator to easily open and close the battery compartment by manually rotating the cover 2 without the need for any special tools. This greatly improves the convenience of operation, making it particularly suitable for field or underwater work environments where tools are inconvenient to carry. For ease of manual operation, the cover 2 is also equipped with a handle 24, allowing the operator to easily screw the cover 2 in and out by rotating the handle 24.

[0015] To ensure the waterproof and sealing performance of the battery compartment, a sealing ring groove 22 is provided on the cover 2, and a sealing ring 23 is installed in the sealing ring groove 22. When the cover 2 is tightened to the compartment 1, the sealing ring 23 forms a radial compression seal with the inner wall of the compartment 1. The sealing ring 23 undergoes elastic deformation due to the radial compression of the inner wall of the compartment 1, filling the gap between the cover 2 and the inner wall of the compartment 1, forming an effective radial seal, thereby achieving the watertight function.

[0016] The bottom of the compartment 1 is equipped with a current plug 12 and a spring 13. The current plug 12 is fixed to the bottom of the compartment 1 with waterproof sealant, ensuring good sealing of the part of the current plug 12 that passes through the compartment and preventing moisture from seeping in along this path. The current plug 12 is used to make electrical connections with the corresponding socket on the battery 3 to complete the transmission of power to external devices. The current plug 12 has a guiding and foolproof function to guide the battery 3 to be accurately aligned and inserted, ensuring that the battery 3 can be quickly and accurately aligned and inserted when installed, avoiding damage to the connector due to misinsertion. The spring 13 is a pagoda-shaped compression spring, whose compression characteristics help to provide stable clamping force. To further position and accommodate the spring 13, the bottom of the compartment 1 is also provided with a spring seat 14, in which the spring 13 is housed. One end of the spring 13 abuts against the bottom of the spring seat 14, and the other end of the spring 13 directly presses against the bottom of the battery 3. Under the elastic force of the spring 13, the battery 3 is continuously pressed towards the compartment cover 2. Spring 13 presses battery 3 firmly inside the cover 2. This design has a dual function: firstly, it effectively limits the swaying of battery 3 in all directions within the compartment 1, ensuring the stability of the battery under vibration; secondly, the pressing force of battery 3 against the cover 2 acts in the opposite direction on the threaded connection, providing a continuous preload force for the threaded connection between the cover 2 and the compartment 1, effectively resisting loosening of the threads caused by vibration, and enhancing the overall connection reliability of the battery compartment.

[0017] The installation and removal procedure for battery 3 is as follows: Battery Installation: The operator holds battery 3 with its electrical ends facing the bottom of compartment 1 and inserts it into compartment 1, aligning it with the current plug 12. The bottom of battery 3 compresses spring 13. Then, the external thread 21 on the cover 2 is aligned with the internal thread 11 of compartment 1, and the cover 2 is rotated clockwise using handle 24. As the cover 2 is screwed in, the sealing ring 23 begins to contact the inner wall of compartment 1, creating a radial seal. When tightened to the predetermined position, battery 3 is pressed tightly against the inner side of cover 2 under the force of spring 13, the threaded connection reaches the predetermined preload, the sealing ring 23 reaches its optimal compression state, battery 3 is installed, and the electrical connection is established.

[0018] To remove the battery: Rotate handle 24 counterclockwise to unscrew the cover 2. As the cover 2 separates from the housing 1, the axial constraint on the battery 3 is released, and the restoring force of spring 13 will slightly push the battery 3 towards the cover 2 for easy removal. Continue to unscrew and remove the cover 2 to remove the battery 3 from the housing 1.

[0019] The above embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
