[0019] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] Please see Figure 1The battery assembly 100 includes a battery assembly body 10 and a handle 20. The handle 20 is fixed to one end of the battery assembly body 10. The handle 20 is connected to the battery assembly body 10 to form a carrying hole 40. The palm passes through the carrying hole 40 and holds the handle 20. Moving the handle 20 can move the battery assembly body 10, allowing the battery assembly body 10 to be installed and removed from the device.

[0022] For the battery assembly body 10 mentioned above, please refer to... Figure 2 The battery assembly body 10 includes a housing 11, a battery 12, and a connection terminal 13. Both the battery 12 and the connection terminal 13 are housed in the housing 11, with the connection terminal 13 extending out of the bottom housing 112 and electrically connected to the battery 12. The battery assembly body 10 integrates the connection terminal 13 and the battery 12. When charging the battery 12, unlike traditional battery assemblies 100 which require disconnecting the connection terminal 13 and the battery 12 before removing them from the board 300, this solution allows for the removal of both the battery 12 and the connection terminal 13 at once by simply disconnecting the battery assembly body 10 from the board 300, simplifying the installation and removal process of the battery assembly 100 from the board 300.

[0023] Specifically, the housing 11 includes an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112, which are detachably connected. The upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 enclose a cavity 113, in which the battery 12 and the connecting terminal 13 are placed. A snap-fit ​​part 1121 is provided on the side of the lower housing 112 away from the handle 20, which is used to snap and fix the battery assembly 100 to the plate 300 when it is installed. A connecting part 1122 is provided at the end of the lower housing 112 near the handle 20, and the connecting part 1122 is detachably connected to the handle 20.

[0024] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the upper shell 111 is further provided with an anti-corrosion coating (not shown) or an anti-slip layer 1111. The anti-corrosion coating can prevent corrosive substances in water from corroding the shell 11 and thus corroding the battery 12. The anti-corrosion coating also plays a role in preventing ultraviolet radiation and external scratches. When there is water on the surface of the shell 11, the surface of the shell 11 is relatively smooth and dangerous. The anti-slip layer 1111 can increase the friction on the surface of the shell 11 and prevent the user from slipping.

[0025] In some embodiments, the battery assembly body 10 further includes a sealing ring 13, which is embedded between the upper shell 111 and the bottom shell 112 and is disposed around the cavity 113. The sealing ring 13 can prevent external water from entering the cavity 113 through the gap between the upper shell 111 and the bottom shell 112, causing the battery 12 to short circuit.

[0026] For the handle 20 mentioned above, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The handle 20 includes a mounting member 21, a button 23, a first elastic element 24, a slider 22, and a second elastic element 25.

[0029] For slider 22 mentioned above, please refer to... Figures 3 to 5 The slider 22 is provided with a slot 221. A slope 222 is provided on one side wall of the slot 221, which abuts against the button 23. A boss 223 is provided on the other side wall of the slot 221, opposite to the slope 222. One end of the first elastic member 24 is sleeved on the boss 223, and the other end abuts against the partition 213. A strip-shaped hole 224 is provided at the bottom of the slot 221. The handle 20 also includes a second screw connector 28. The screw of the second screw connector 28 passes through the strip-shaped hole 224 and is screwed onto a second threaded post 214. The width of the nut of the second screw connector 28 is greater than the width of the strip-shaped hole 224. The second screw connector 28 and the second threaded post 214 cooperate to restrict the slider 22 to slide within the groove 211.

[0030] For button 23 mentioned above, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The button 23 includes a button body 231, an abutment portion 232, and a first threaded post 233. The first threaded post 233 is fixed to the button body 231. The button body 231 is slidably disposed on the mounting member 21, and a portion of the button body 231 is received in the mounting groove 215. One end of the abutment portion 232 is fixed to the button body 231, and the other end of the abutment portion 232 passes through the sliding hole 217 and is inserted into the insertion groove 221, abutting against the inclined surface 222. The abutment portion 232 can slide in the sliding hole 217 along a second direction, thereby driving the slider 22 to slide along a first direction. The first threaded post 233 is slidably inserted into the mounting hole 216. The handle 20 also includes a first screw connector 26 and a spacer 27. The first screw connector 26 passes through the spacer 27 and is screwed onto the first threaded post 233, fixing the spacer 27 to the first threaded post 233.

[0031] In some embodiments, the end of the abutting portion 232 that abuts against the inclined surface 222 is set to be arc-shaped, which reduces the friction between the abutting portion 232 and the inclined surface 222, so that the button 23 can be pressed more smoothly.

[0032] When button 23 is pressed, the abutting part 232 slides along the sliding hole 217 toward the slide groove 211. With the cooperation of the inclined surface 222, the abutting part 232 drives the slider 22 to retract from the telescopic hole 212 into the slide groove 211. When button 23 is released, the first elastic element 24 elastically resets, and the first elastic element 24 drives the slider 22 to extend from the telescopic hole 212 into the slide groove 211.

[0033] In some embodiments, the handle 20 further includes a second elastic member 25, one end of which is fixed to the mounting member 21 and the other end of which abuts against the spacer 27. When the button 23 is pressed, the second elastic member 25 is compressed, and when the button 23 is released, the second elastic member 25 rebounds to drive the button 23 to reset.

[0034] In some embodiments, the length of the first screw 26 along the second direction is greater than the depth of the mounting hole 216, so that the button 23 can slide relative to the mounting member 21 along the second direction, and the area of ​​the spacer 27 is greater than the area of ​​the mounting hole 216, the spacer 27 is used to limit the maximum travel of the button 23 in the direction away from the slide groove 211.

[0035] To facilitate the reader's understanding of this utility model, the assembly process of the battery assembly 100 of this utility model is described below: First, one end of the first elastic member 24 is sleeved onto the boss 223 of the slider 22, and the slider 22 is placed in the groove 211 of the mounting member 21. The second threaded post 214 and the partition 213 of the mounting member 21 are located in the insertion groove 221 of the mounting member 21, and the other end of the first elastic member 24 abuts against the partition 213. The second screw 28 is threaded onto the second threaded post 214 after passing through the strip hole 224.
