[0017] With reference to Fig.In a first aspect of the invention, a battery compartment for an electronic book comprises a compartment body comprising an upper cover body 200 and a lower cover body 100. The upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100 are made of a biomass material. A first round projection 112 extends from an inner side of the lower cover body 100. A recessed first depression 111 is formed in the first round projection 112. The first depression 111 conforms to the outer contour of a cell. An opening is provided at an edge of the first round projection 112, communicating with the first depression 111. A first positioning section 211 extends from a side of the upper cover body 200 facing the first depression 111. The first positioning section 211 conforms to the first depression 111.

[0018] Here, a conventional plastic is replaced by a biomass material characterized by its ability to degrade naturally, making it more environmentally friendly than conventional plastics and increasing ecological benefits. Furthermore, the sorting of plastics is reduced, thus increasing the efficiency of recovery. Additionally, the adaptation of the first recess 111 to the cell stabilizes the cell within the first recess 111. When the upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100 are assembled, the first positioning section 211 partially protrudes into the first recess 111. The first positioning section 211 covers the first recess 111 from above to secure the cell within it.Furthermore, after separating the upper lid body 200 and the lower lid body 100, the cell can be pushed through the opening using a finger or a tool, thus facilitating easier removal of the cell from the first recess 111 and thereby simplifying disassembly and cell replacement. It should be noted that the biomass material can be starch, and therefore the upper and lower lid bodies can be made of starch. Alternatively, the biomass material can also be cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, chitin, starch, protein, and the like, or any mixture thereof.

[0019] It is understood that a cover plate 210 is provided on the upper cover body 200. The first positioning section 211 is arranged on the cover plate 210. A passage 201, which adapts to the cover plate 210, is also provided on the upper cover body 200. When the upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100 are combined, the first recess 111 is exposed through the passage 201. After the cover plate 210 is assembled with the upper cover body 200, the cover plate 210 covers the first recess 111 to protect the cell. Furthermore, the first recess 111 can be exposed by removing the cell, so that the cell can be removed conveniently and quickly without having to separate the upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100. In addition, a support section 202 projects from a side wall of the passage 201.The support section 202 extends in the circumferential direction of the passage 201. During the assembly of the cover plate 210 on the passage 201, the support section 202 carries the cover plate 210 to prevent the cover plate 210 from tilting due to imbalance and becoming jammed in the passage 201, and also to facilitate the assembly of the cover plate 210 on the upper cover body 200.

[0020] It is understood that a mounting support with a threaded hole is provided on the lower cover body 100. A mounting hole 212 for a screw is provided in the cover plate 210. The mounting hole 212 is aligned with the threaded hole. The cover plate 210 is placed on the upper cover body 200 such that the mounting hole 212 is aligned with the mounting support, and then a screw is inserted through the mounting hole 212 and connected to the mounting support by its thread to secure the cover plate 210.

[0021] It is understood that a first positioning support 104 is provided on an inner side of the lower cover body 100. A positioning hole is provided on the circuit board of the acoustic device through which the first positioning support 104 is guided.

[0022] It is understood that a first reinforcing rib 102 is provided on the inner side of the lower cover body 100. The longitudinal direction of the first reinforcing rib 102 is aligned parallel to a first direction. A second reinforcing rib 103 is also provided on the inner side of the lower cover body 100. The longitudinal direction of the second reinforcing rib 103 is aligned parallel to a second direction. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The fit between the first reinforcing rib 102 and the second reinforcing rib 103 forms a mounting point where the first positioning support 104 is located. The structural strength of the lower cover body 100 is improved by the first reinforcing rib 102 and the second reinforcing rib 103.The fit between the first reinforcing rib 102 and the second reinforcing rib 103 forms a mounting point where the circuit board of the acoustic device is positioned. The circuit board is bounded in one direction by the first reinforcing rib 102 and in the other by the second reinforcing rib 103, thus stabilizing the circuit board at the mounting point. The first reinforcing rib 102 and the second reinforcing rib 103 bear against the circuit board to further increase its stability.

[0023] It is understood that a second positioning support 113 is provided on the upper cover body 200, and a sleeve 101 for receiving the second positioning support 113 is provided on the lower cover body 100. The second positioning support 113 fits into the sleeve 101. The second positioning support 113 can be inserted into the sleeve 101. By inserting the second positioning support 113 into the sleeve 101, the upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100 are connected to each other. The second positioning support 113 rests against an inner wall of the sleeve 101 to increase the frictional force between the second positioning support 113 and the sleeve 101, to stabilize the connection between the upper cover body 200 and the lower cover body 100, and to improve the aesthetics of the battery compartment by eliminating the need for a screw connection.
