Batteries and electronic devices including them
[0001] The various embodiments disclosed in this document relate to batteries and electronic devices including the same.
[0002] The electronic device may include a form that can be worn on a part of the user's body to enhance portability or user accessibility. By being worn on the user's ear, the electronic device may provide convenience for listening to music or making calls. The electronic device may include at least one battery for providing power to the electronic device by being electrically connected to a printed circuit board.
[0003] The information described above may be provided as related art for the purpose of aiding understanding of the present disclosure. No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the foregoing may be applied as prior art related to the present disclosure.
[0004] A battery used in an electronic device may include tabs for electrical connection to a substrate. The tabs of the battery may include a first tab having a first polarity and a second tab having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity. The first tab and the second tab of the battery may provide power to components of the electronic device (e.g., a flexible substrate, a printed circuit board, and / or an electrical structure electrically connected through the substrate) by being electrically connected to the substrate.
[0005] The first tab and the second tab may be formed by welding (e.g., soldering) a metal plate to a first plate facing the first surface and a second plate facing the second surface and a first plate having the first polarity of the battery, respectively, so as to protrude from the metal plate in a lateral direction of the battery. Alternatively, the first tab and the second tab may be formed by welding a ductile metal plate to the first plate and the second plate of the battery, respectively, so as to protrude from the metal plate in a direction perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface of the battery, respectively.
[0006] However, additional space may be required on the side of the battery or in the direction of the first and second sides to form the first tab and the second tab. Additionally, metal plate welding work is required on the first and second sides of the battery after manufacturing, which may incur costs. Furthermore, if metal plates are welded to the first and second plates of the battery, damage to the battery may occur.
[0007] Various embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a battery and an electronic device including the same that can help in efficient layout design.
[0008] Various embodiments can provide a battery and an electronic device including the same that can help reduce manufacturing time and manufacturing costs.
[0009] Various embodiments can provide a battery and an electronic device including the same that can reduce the possibility of breakage during assembly.
[0010] However, the technical tasks intended to be accomplished in this document are not limited to those mentioned above, and other technical tasks not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which this document belongs from the description below.
[0011] The electronic device comprises a housing, at least one substrate disposed in a space of the housing, and a battery disposed in the housing to supply power to the substrate, wherein the battery may comprise a case, an electrode body disposed in an internal space of the case and providing a first polarity to the case, a first plate coupled to be electrically connected to the case and including a first tab exposed to a first surface of the battery, and a second plate coupled insulatorably to the first plate, receiving a second polarity from the electrode body and including a second tab exposed to the first surface.
[0012] According to various embodiments, the electronic device comprises a housing, at least one substrate disposed in a space of the housing, and a battery disposed in the housing to supply power to the substrate, wherein the battery may comprise a case having a first-1 tab exposed to a first surface of the battery, an electrode body disposed in an internal space of the case and providing a first polarity to the case, a first plate coupled to be electrically connected to the case, and a second plate coupled insulatorably to the first plate, receiving a second polarity from the electrode body, and having a second tab exposed to the first surface.
[0013] According to various embodiments, the battery may include a case, an electrode body disposed in the internal space of the case and providing a first polarity to the case, a first plate coupled to be electrically connected to the case and including a first tab exposed to a first surface of the battery, and a second plate coupled insulatorably to the first plate, receiving a second polarity from the electrode body and including a second tab exposed to the first surface.
[0014] Since the battery according to various embodiments of the present disclosure has a single structure, space utilization for mounting the battery within an electronic device can be improved. In addition, since metal plate welding work on the first and second surfaces of the battery is unnecessary, costs can be reduced and damage to the battery caused by welding can be prevented.

For example, an external electronic device (e.g., an audio player) may decode the audio data to generate an audio signal and transmit the generated audio signal to the speaker (141).
[0051] According to various embodiments, the mode in which the electronic device (100) plays audio data in memory (120) and outputs it through a speaker (141) may be paused when the state in which the electronic device (100) is not worn on the user's ear is confirmed through a sensor module (150). The mode may be resumed when the state in which the electronic device (100) is worn on the user's ear is confirmed through a sensor module (150). The mode in which audio data is received from an external electronic device and outputs it through a speaker (141) may be paused when the state in which the electronic device (100) is not worn on the user's ear is confirmed through a sensor module (150).

[0058] According to various embodiments, the electronic device (200) may include a light-emitting area (2123) for visually providing status information of the electronic device (200) to a user. In one embodiment, the light-emitting area (2123) may be positioned so as to be exposed on the outer surface at an extension (212) of the first housing (210). In one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may include a light-emitting module (e.g., the light-emitting module (260) of FIG. 3) disposed in a first internal space (e.g., the first internal space (2101) of FIG. 3) of the first housing (210). In one embodiment, the light-emitting module (260) may be positioned in the first internal space (2101) so as to correspond to at least a portion of the light-emitting area (2123). In one embodiment, the light-emitting area (2123) may be provided in the first housing (210) by at least a corresponding portion being treated or formed to be transparent or translucent. Accordingly, light generated from a light-emitting module (260) placed in the internal space of the housing structure (H) can be set to be visible from the outside through a light-emitting area (2123).
[0059] According to various embodiments, the extension (212) is a first surface (2121) and a specific angle ( It may include a second surface (2122) extended to have ). In one embodiment, the light-emitting region (2123) may be located in the boundary region between the first surface (2121) and the second surface (2122). In one embodiment, the angle formed by the first surface (2121) and the second surface (2122) ( ) can be determined within a range greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In one embodiment, the first surface (2121) and the second surface (2122) may be connected through at least one additional surface.
