Battery Cover with Band Threading and Engagement Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery covers for communication devices do not expand the functionality of the electronic apparatus and lack secure attachment mechanisms, making them prone to easy disassembly and not providing additional functions beyond battery protection.
Innovation Solution
A battery cover with a band threading portion and engagement mechanism, including screwing and latch components, that securely attaches to the communication apparatus, providing additional functions such as a clip or band fastening, and preventing easy disassembly through unique screw thread designs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional battery cover is used to cover the battery accommodation portion, then the battery is protected from coming off, but the functionality of the electronic apparatus is not expanded and the attachment is not secure
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cover is designed to perform multiple functions: it covers the battery accommodation portion to prevent battery dislodgement, provides secure attachment through engagement portions with the main body, and expands functionality by serving as a mounting base for additional components such as external flash units or other accessories. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by making the battery cover both secure and versatile.
2Ease of manufacture
If a simple battery cover design is used, then the manufacturing is easy, but the attachment is prone to easy disassembly and lacks additional functions
Solution Approach 1:
The battery cover is divided into distinct functional segments: a cover portion for protecting the battery accommodation portion, engagement portions for secure attachment to the main body, and a mounting base for additional components. This segmentation allows each part to be manufactured independently with standard processes while achieving overall secure attachment and enhanced functionality without excessive complexity.
3Reliability
If engagement portions are added to the battery cover, then the attachment security is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement portions are integrated directly into the battery cover structure itself, merging the attachment function with the cover structure. This eliminates the need for separate attachment mechanisms or additional components, thereby improving attachment security while minimizing increases in device complexity. The engagement portions are formed as part of the cover's basic structure rather than as add-on elements.

AI summary
An exemplary configuration of a battery cover covers a battery accommodation portion in a main body of a communication apparatus to detach or attach a battery from or to the communication apparatus and includes a band threading portion through which a band member can pass, and an engagement portion detachably engaged with the main body of the communication apparatus. Another exemplary configuration of a battery cover covers a battery accommodation portion provided in a main body of a communication apparatus to detach or attach a battery from or to the communication apparatus and includes a clip, an engagement portion, and a fixing mechanism. The engagement portion is detachably engaged with the main body of the communication apparatus. The fixing mechanism includes a part of at least one screwing mechanism on one side and at least one latch portion on the other side or a part of at least one screwing mechanism on the other side.
