PURPOSE:To connect buit-in batteries in parallel to easily change the capacity according to requirement by arranging plugs made of conductive material and jacks made of conductive material on facing two surfaces of boxes, and inserting plugs into jacks to connect boxes. CONSTITUTION:A battery box 11 is mounted to an electric device 10 by inserting plugs 3 of the battery box 11 into the electric device 10. A battery box 12 is connected to the battery box 11 by inserting plugs 3 of the box 12 into jacks 2 of the box 11. After connection, a fixing plate 4 of the battery box 12 is fixed with a male screw 8 and a female screw 6 of the battery box 11. By connection of the jacks 21 of the box 11 and the plugs 32 of the box 12, a battery 71 inside the box 11 and a battery 72 inside the box 12 are connected in parallel. By the parallel connection, voltage of the batteries are retained the same value and only the capacity is increased twice.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a battery box most suitable for small portable electronic equipment.

(2) Background of the invention Small portable electronic devices, such as camera-integrated ■1'R
When using a tape recorder, etc. outdoors for a long time,
It is common practice to prepare replacement batteries or to supply power from large batteries prepared externally.

(3) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when a replacement battery is used, there is a problem in that video recording is interrupted while the battery is replaced.

Furthermore, when power is supplied from an external large battery, it is necessary to route a power cord, which poses a problem in that operability is lost and the device becomes difficult to handle.

On the other hand, it is possible to consider making the batteries built into VTRs and tape recorders larger in advance and using them as Omiya 1.
In this case, there is a problem in that when used for recording short poem 1, the equipment becomes unnecessarily large and portability deteriorates.

(4) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the point L, and aims to make it possible to change the battery capacity according to the usage status of the components. In order to achieve this, an insertion member made of a conductive material and an insertion receiving member made of a conductive material are provided on two opposing faces of the polyhedron, and the built-in batteries are connected in parallel by connecting the insertion member and the insertion receiving member in the insertion direction. is configured to connect to.

(5) Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of a battery box according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a battery box 1 is formed of plastic resin or the like in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and has a rechargeable battery or a dry cell installed therein. A plug 3 as an insertion member is embedded in the lower surface of the battery box l, and a jack 2 as an insertion member is embedded in the upper surface of the battery box l.

Further, on both sides of the battery box 10, fixing plates 4 are attached to the battery box 10 as fixing members when the battery box 10 is connected as described later.
is formed integrally with. A through hole 5 is provided at the tip of the fixing plate 4, and a screw hole 6 is provided at the side surface of the battery box 1 corresponding to the through hole 5 when connected.

Electrical connections between the battery incorporated in the battery box 1 and the jack 2 and plug 3 are made as shown in FIG. That is, the ten poles of battery 7 are connected to jack 2 and plug 3.
One end of the terminal and the - pole are connected to the other ends of the jack 2 and the plug 3.

4 to 6 are external perspective views showing the battery box according to the present invention in use.

In FIG. 4, the battery box 11 connects the plug 3 of the battery box 11 to a part of the electrical equipment 10! It can be installed by inserting it into the ltg2 position lO.

Furthermore, the battery box 12 is connected by inserting the plug 3 of the battery box 12 into the jack 2 of the battery box 11. After the connection, the fixing plate 4 of the battery box 12 is screwed using the screw holes 6 and screws 8 of the battery box 11 to fix the battery box 12. Fixing between the electrical equipment 10 and the battery box 11 is performed in the same manner. In addition, electric a! equipment l
o may be an electric load such as a portable VTR, or may be a power source (charger) for charging the battery box 11 and the battery box 12. When the electric device 10 is a charger, it is preferable to provide the electric device 10 with a switch for switching the charging current and charging time according to the number of connected devices.

FIG. 5 shows a case where the battery boxes 11-14 have a triangular prism shape. Battery box 11 shown in FIG.
and 12 have a rectangular vertical cross section, whereas the battery boxes 11-14 shown in FIG. 5 are formed so that their vertical cross section is triangular.

Moreover, FIG. 6 shows a case where the battery boxes 11 and 12 are made into pentagonal prisms. The battery boxes 11 and 12 shown in FIG. 6 are formed to have a pentagonal cross section. In this way, the battery boxes 11 to 14 can be formed as polyhedrons of various shapes.

The electrical connection relationship after the battery box 11 and battery box 12 are connected is as shown in FIG. 3.

That is, the jack 21 of the battery box 11 and the plug 32 of the battery box 12 are connected, and the battery 71 built into the battery box 11 and the battery 72 inserted into the battery box 12 are connected in parallel. Since they are connected in parallel, the electromotive force remains -C, and only the electric capacity is doubled. 3 more battery boxes 11 and 12
It is also possible to increase the electric capacity by three times or more by connecting two or more of them.

(6) Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention provides an insertion member made of a conductive material and an insertion receiving member made of a conductive material on two opposing faces of a polyhedron, and the insertion member and the insertion receiving member are provided. Since the built-in batteries are connected in parallel by connecting them in the insertion direction, it is possible to easily change the battery capacity depending on the usage situation while always keeping the size to a minimum.
