Battery module and telematics terminal having the same
[0001] The present invention relates to a battery module and a telematics terminal including the same.
[0002] Telematics refers to the provision of various mobile communication services in automobiles, such as location information, safe driving, entertainment, financial services, reservations, and product purchases, through the combination of wireless communication and GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
[0003] A telematics terminal may be installed in a vehicle, and Korean Registered Patent Publication 10-0669609 B1 (published January 15, 2007) discloses a telematics terminal connected to a vehicle power supply unit equipped in a vehicle, and the telematics terminal may be operated by power supplied from the vehicle power supply unit.
[0004] The present embodiment provides a battery module that can be more securely maintained in a telematics terminal and can be easily detached from the telematics terminal.
[0005] The present embodiment provides a telematics terminal having a battery module that has a simple structure and easy service of the battery module, as it does not require a battery module cover to cover the battery module.
[0006] A telematics terminal having a battery module according to the present embodiment may include: a battery module; a TCU housing having a pocket formed therein for detachably mounting the battery module and an inner space formed therein; and a substrate accommodated in the inner space.
[0007] A battery module according to the present embodiment includes a housing in which a battery space is formed between an upper case and a lower case; a plurality of latches extending from the housing; a connecting part connected to the plurality of latches; and a strap connected to the connecting part.
[0008] The housing can be snap-fit coupled to the TCU housing to which the latch is restrained.
[0009] The housing can be detached from the TCU housing using a strap.
[0010] A strap through-hole through which the strap passes can be formed in the upper case.
[0011] The strap can be subjected to force from multiple directions.
[0012] The upper opening area of the strap through-hole may be larger than the lower opening area of the strap through-hole.
[0013] A terminal seating portion may be formed in the housing.
[0014] The battery module may include a power supply terminal disposed in the terminal mounting portion.
[0015] The housing may further include a guide that is spaced apart from the terminal seating portion and inserted into a position alignment hole formed in the TCU housing.
[0016] The latch may include an elastic body extending from the housing and a protruding body protruding from the elastic body.
[0017] The protruding body may include a center body and a pair of side bodies.
[0018] The top of the center body can be orthogonal to the back of the elastic body.
[0019] The top of the side body may have an obtuse angle of inclination with respect to the back of the elastic body.
[0020] A latch hole may be formed in the TCU housing to which the protruding body of the latch is inserted and restrained.
[0021] The strap may include a fixed area fixed to the lower case; a connecting area wrapping around the connecting part; and a free end area extending from the connecting area.
[0022] When the free end area of the housing is lifted, the latch can be released from the latch hole.
[0023] A through-hole can be formed in the pocket through which the terminal seating portion passes.
[0024] According to the present embodiment, since the latch of the housing is snap-fit coupled to the TCU housing and secured, the battery module can be easily mounted to the TCU housing, and a battery module cover to cover the battery module is not required, thereby minimizing the number of parts of the telematics terminal.
[0025] In addition, since the housing is separated from the TCU housing using a strap, the battery module can be easily detached from the TCU housing.
[0026] In addition, the lower case and upper case can be easily pulled out of the TCU housing with a simple pulling motion of the strap.
[0027] In addition, the strap can apply force from multiple directions, allowing the latch to be released more easily from the latch hole of the TCU housing.
[0028] In addition, the top of the center body of the latch is perpendicular to the back of the elastic body, so that the latch can be securely assembled into the pocket when the battery module is mounted.
[0029] In addition, since the top of the latch's side body has an obtuse angle of inclination with respect to the back of the elastic body, the latch can easily come out of the latch hole when the battery module is withdrawn.
