Electronic device for easy installation and removal of batteries

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device that facilitates installation and removal of a battery.

Portable electronic devices such as personal mobile computers, MP3 players or mobile phones use a detachable battery as a power source. The battery housing of the above-mentioned portable electronic device is designed with a battery receiving slot for accommodating the battery, and the battery cover is used to close the external opening of the battery receiving slot. However, when the battery of the above device is disassembled, the user needs to remove the battery from the battery slot after opening the battery cover; or when installing the battery of the above device, the user needs to install the battery in the battery receiving slot before the cover is closed. The battery cover; you cannot remove and install the battery while opening and closing the battery cover.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electronic device that facilitates the installation and removal of the battery.

An electronic device for facilitating the installation and removal of a battery, the electronic device being powered by a detachable battery, the electronic device comprising a housing, a battery slot disposed in the housing, and a battery fixing device. One end of the battery slot forms an opening in the housing, and the other end of the battery slot is provided with an electrode connection portion. The battery fixture includes a battery cover, a linkage, a push rod and a rotating block slidably disposed at the opening. The rotating block is rotatably disposed within the housing and away from a sidewall of the opening. One end of the linkage is connected to the battery cover through a first hinge, and the other end is connected to one end of the push rod through a second hinge. The other end of the push rod opposes the rotating block. When the battery cover closes the opening, the battery cover drives the linkage to bulge The battery is pushed to connect the electrodes of the battery to the electrode connection portion. When the battery cover opens the opening, the battery cover drives the linkage to drive the push rod to push the rotating block to rotate, and the rotating block pushes the battery out of the opening of the battery slot.

Compared with the prior art, when the battery cover is opened, the battery cover sequentially drives the linkage, the push rod and the rotating block to move, and the rotating block pushes the battery to push the battery out of the battery slot, and opens the battery cover to push out the battery. When the battery cover is closed, the battery cover drives the linkage to rotate, and the side of the linkage squeezes the battery, so that the electrode of the battery is connected to the electrode connection portion, and the battery is installed in the electronic device while the battery cover is closed. The above method of taking out and installing the battery is easy to operate.

The battery cover 401 has a substantially plate shape. A guide groove 201 is defined in the side wall 202 of the opening 205, and both ends of the battery cover 401 are slidably embedded in the guide groove 201. The battery cover 401 is slidable along the guide groove 201 to open and close the opening 205.

Referring to FIG. 3, one end of the linkage 403 is movably connected to the battery cover 401 through the first hinge 400, and the other end of the linkage 403 is movably connected to the push rod 405 through the second hinge 410. An elongated groove 415 is disposed on both sides of the battery slot 25, and the two push rods 405 are slidably received in the recess 415.

The rotating block 407 is rotatably disposed within the housing 20 and away from the sidewall 202 of the opening 205. In the present embodiment, the two rotating blocks 407 are located on both sides of the electrode connecting portion 301 and are rotatably disposed on the first housing 21 .

Referring to FIG. 4 , the two sides of the battery slot 25 adjacent to one end of the opening 205 are respectively formed with a guide rail 222 . The second hinge 410 extends along the axial direction to form a latch post 433 . The latch post 433 is slidably disposed on the guide rail. Within 222.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the electronic device 10 further includes a lock bit unit 45 for locking the battery cover 401 at the opening 205 . In the present embodiment, the lock bit unit 45 includes a positioning hole 460 formed at both ends of the first hinge 400 (as shown in FIG. 4 ), an opening 208 formed in the sidewall 202 of the opening 205 , A spring 417 and a positioning ball 414 are mounted in the opening 208. The diameter of the positioning ball 414 is slightly larger than the diameter of the opening 208 to compressly clamp the spring 417 into the opening 208. When the battery cover 401 closes the opening 205, the positioning hole 460 is opposite to the opening 208, and the positioning ball 414 partially snaps into the positioning hole 460 under the elastic force of the spring 417, and the battery cover 401 is locked in the closed position. In other embodiments, the lock bit unit 45 can also employ other structures known to those skilled in the art, such as an elastic snap.

The battery cover 401 is pushed to slide along the guiding slot 201, and the battery cover 401 drives the linking member 403 to move, so that the linking member 403 is arched to press one end of the battery 30 (as shown in FIG. 4), and the electrodes of the battery 30 are in contact with the electrode connecting portion 301. At the same time, the battery cover 401 closes the opening 205. When the positioning hole 460 is opposite to the opening 208, the positioning ball 414 partially engages into the positioning hole 460 under the elastic force of the spring 417, and the battery cover 401 is locked in the closed position. In the above manner, the battery 30 is fixed in the battery case 25.

When the battery 30 is taken out from the electronic device 10: the battery fixing device 40 is in the state shown in FIG. 3, and the battery cover 401 is first pushed to slide. Referring to FIG. 5 together, the positioning ball 414 slides out of the positioning hole 460, and the battery cover The 401 drives the linkage 403 through the first hinge 400 such that the linkage 403 slides along the groove 415 in a direction away from the opening 205 by the second hinge 410 push rod 405. The card post 433 moves along the guide rail 222 toward the end away from the opening 205, so that the link 403 is disposed in parallel with the battery 30 (as shown in FIG. 6), thereby opening the opening 205, and at the same time, the push rod 405 pushes the rotating block 407 to rotate. The rotating block 407 pushes the battery 30 at one end to disengage the battery from the electrode connecting portion 301 and is exposed from the opening 205, at which time the battery 30 can be taken out.

The electronic device 10 for mounting and removing the battery 30 is used. When the battery cover 401 is opened, the battery cover 401 sequentially drives the linkage 403, the push rod 405 and the rotating block 407 to move, and the rotating block 407 pushes the battery 30 to remove the battery 30 from the battery slot. Introduced in 25, remove the battery cover 401 while removing the battery; When the battery cover 401 is closed, the battery cover 401 drives the linkage 403 to rotate, and the side of the linkage 403 presses the battery 30 such that the electrodes of the battery 30 are in contact with the electrode connection portion 301. The battery is mounted in the electronic device while the battery cover 401 is closed; the above manner of removing and installing the battery is simple and convenient.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention, as long as it is within the spirit of the invention. Changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the invention.
