Unless specifically defined, these terms will not be interpreted as In an idealized or formal meaning.

Please refer to pictures 1~2. 1 is a plan view of a battery tray 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the application of the battery tray 100 of FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the battery tray 100 includes a tray main body 110, a card insertion portion 120, and a connecting portion 130. The tray body 110 has an adjacent first sidewall 111 and a second sidewall 112. The first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 define an accommodating space A, and the accommodating space A is adapted to receive the battery 200. The card insertion portion 120 is connected to the first side wall 111 , and the card insertion portion 120 is configured to be inserted into the card slot 310 of the electronic device 300 . The connecting portion 130 is connected to the second side wall 112 , and the connecting portion 130 is used for connecting to the structural member 320 of the electronic device 300 . When the card insertion portion 120 is inserted into the card slot 310, the connecting portion 130 connects the structural member 320 so that the battery tray 100 can be fixed to the electronic device 300. In a practical application, the structural member 320 can be a riser, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In other words, the battery tray 100 can be easily and easily mounted and fixed to the electronic device 300 by the card insertion portion 120 of the battery tray 100 being inserted into the card slot 310 and connected to the structural member 320 by the connecting portion 130. Moreover, since the assembly and disassembly process of the battery tray 100 does not involve the use of other hand tools, it is effective for the user.

Specifically, the connecting portion 130 includes a first connecting structure 131 and a second connecting structure 132. The first connecting structure 131 is detachably connected to the second side wall 112. The first connecting structure 131 has a first contact surface 131a that abuts the first fixing surface 320a of the structural member 320. The second connecting structure 132 is connected to one end of the first connecting structure 131, and the second connecting structure 132 has a second contact surface 132a. The second contact surface 132a abuts the first contact surface 131a, the second contact surface 132a and the first contact surface 131a are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the second contact surface 132a abuts the second fixing surface 320b of the structural member 320. More specifically, when the card insertion portion 120 of the battery tray 100 is inserted into the card slot 310, the second contact surface 132a abuts the second fixing surface 320b of the structural member 320, thereby helping to stabilize the battery tray 100. The ground is fixed to the electronic device 300.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the tray main body 110 further includes an extending portion 113. The extending portion 113 connects the second side wall 112 toward one side of the first connecting structure 131 and is detachably connected to the first connecting structure 131. That is, the connecting portion 130 can be simply attached to the extension portion 113 or detached from the extension portion 113. In this way, the user can easily replace the connecting portions 130 of different sizes as needed. In a practical application, the connecting portion 130 can be a long insert or a short insert, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In order to cooperate with the relative positions of the card slot 310 and the structure member 320 of the electronic device 300, in an actual application, the extension portion 113 is sized to set a first distance between the first contact surface 131a and the card insertion portion 120. D1. Specifically, in the embodiment, the extending portion 113 is sized such that the first distance D1 between the first contact surface 131a and the card insertion portion 120 is the same as between the first fixing surface 320a and the card slot 310. The second distance D2, therefore, the position of the card insertion portion 120 can correspond to the card slot 310, and the battery tray 100 can also be mounted to the electronic device 300.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view along line X of FIG. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tray main body 110 includes a bottom plate 114 and a snap member 116. The first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 are disposed on the bottom plate The edge of 114. The catching member 116 includes a baffle 116a and a protruding portion 116b. The baffle 116a is disposed at an edge of the bottom plate 114. The protruding portion 116b is located at one end of the baffle 116a away from the bottom plate 114 and extends toward the accommodating space A. The protruding portion 116b is used for snapping the battery 200 to prevent the battery 200 from leaving the accommodating space A of the tray main body 110.

In order to facilitate the accommodation of the battery 200 in the accommodating space A of the tray main body 110 or to take out the battery 200 from the accommodating space A, in the present embodiment, the baffle 116a has elasticity so that the protruding portion 116b can be oriented toward or away from the volume. Set space A to move. In other words, when the battery 200 is to be accommodated in the accommodating space A or the battery 200 is taken out from the accommodating space A, the user can first pull the shackle 116 by the elasticity of the baffle 116a, that is, The projection 116b is moved away from the accommodating space A to allow the battery 200 to enter the accommodating space A. When the battery 200 has been placed in the accommodating space A or has left the accommodating space A, the user can stop moving the protruding portion 116b away from the accommodating space A. At this time, the elasticity of the baffle 116a The projection 116b is reset. Therefore, whether the process of installing the battery 200 or detaching the battery 200 can be performed simply and easily.

Furthermore, in order to further facilitate the removal of the battery 200 from the accommodating space A of the tray main body 110, the bottom plate 114 of the tray main body 110 has the perforations 114a. In this way, during the process of taking out the battery 200 from the accommodating space A, the user can push the battery 200 out of the accommodating space A through the through hole 114a, which helps to disassemble the battery 200 from the accommodating space A of the tray main body 110. from. In the present embodiment, the position of the through hole 114a corresponds to the latching member 116, but the invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 , the tray main body 110 has a third side wall 117 , and is disposed on the bottom plate 114 opposite to the second side wall 112 . The accommodating space A is located between the second side wall 112 and the third side wall 117 . The third side wall 117 has a notch G to allow the wire 210 of the battery 200 to pass through. Generally, the electronic device 300 has a plurality of card slots 310, and the card slot 310 is generally disposed at an adjacent position. Thus, when the battery tray 100 is mounted to one of the card slots 310, the gap G is crossed. The electric wire 210 can be conveniently connected to the adjacent card slot 310 so that the battery 200 can be electrically connected to the electronic device 300. Moreover, by inserting the battery tray 100 into the card slot 310 of the electronic device 300, the length of the electric wire 210 to which the battery 200 is connected to the electronic device 300 can be effectively shortened, and the convenience of the cable can be increased. Furthermore, the effects of power supply attenuation and the effects of airflow obstruction in the electronic device 300 can be reduced accordingly.

In summary, the technical solution of the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Through the above technical solutions, considerable technological progress can be achieved, and the industrial use value is widely utilized, which has at least the following advantages:

(1) In the above embodiment of the present invention, the card insertion portion of the battery tray is inserted into the card slot, and the structural member is connected by the connection portion, so that the battery tray can be easily and easily mounted and fixed to the electronic device.
