In order to enable the Honorable Review Committee to further understand the features and technical contents of the present invention, please refer to the following detailed description and drawings of the present invention. However, the attached drawings are only provided for reference and explanation and are not used to limit the present invention.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2, which are respectively a three-dimensional exploded view and a three-dimensional assembly view of the present invention. The present invention provides a multi-battery mounting structure and an electronic device thereof. The multi-battery mounting structure 1 is applied to an electronic device 2. The electronic device 2 can be various devices or objects that need to be supplied with electricity by a battery 3, such as a watch, a remote control or a handheld computer, and the battery 3 can be a button battery and is used to be assembled on the multi-battery mounting structure 1 to supply electricity to the electronic device 2. The multi-battery mounting structure 1 includes a bottom 10, at least two battery holders 11 disposed on the bottom 10, and a conductive component 12 that can be placed across each battery holder 11; wherein:

The bottom 10 may be a part of the housing 20 of the electronic device 2; for example, it may be the inner surface of the housing 20 of the electronic device 2, and the battery holders 11 may be formed from the inner surface of the housing 20. Specifically, the housing 20 of the electronic device 2 may be a housing component thereof, and when it is formed of a plastic material, it may be integrally formed with the battery holders 11, that is, the bottom 10 may also be integrally formed with the battery holders 11.

The battery holders 11 are respectively disposed on the bottom 10, and each battery holder 11 has a wall 110 protruding from the bottom 10, a configuration space 111 formed in the wall 110 for the battery 3 to be placed, and a conductive terminal 112 disposed in the configuration space 111. Furthermore, the wall 110 of each battery holder 11 is provided with a notch 110a, through which the conductive terminal 112 can be exposed outside the wall 110, so as to further provide an electric wire 113 for electrical connection; the conductive terminal 112 can be a negative electrode, and the electric wire 113 is connected to the negative electrode.

The conductive component 12 is used when the battery 3 is placed in the battery holder 11. Since it is placed across the battery holder 11, the battery 3 can be pressed downward to ensure contact with the conductive terminal 112. In the present embodiment, the conductive component 12 can be composed of a plurality of conductive sheets 12', and the number of the conductive sheets 12' is arranged corresponding to the number of the battery holders 11. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the number of the battery holders 11 is "two", the number of the conductive sheets 12' is also "two", so as to correspond to one battery holder 11 respectively, and contact the upper and lower surfaces of the battery 3 together with the conductive terminals 112 in the corresponding battery holders 11, and the conductive component 12 composed of the conductive sheets 12' can be the positive electrode.

As mentioned above, the bottom 10 is provided with a disassembly seat 100 between the battery seats 11, and the disassembly seat 100 allows the conductive component 12 to be assembled in a detachable manner. The conductive component 12 comprises a dismantling portion 120, a plurality of elastic arms 121 extending from the dismantling portion 120 toward each battery holder 11, and a plurality of fixing portions 122 separated from the dismantling portion 120 by passing through each elastic arm 121, so that the dismantling portion 120 can be assembled on the dismantling seat 100 by an assembly element 123; as shown in FIG. 3 , the dismantling portion 120 corresponds to the dismantling seat 100, and the fixing portion 122 is fixed to the base 10 by straddling the corresponding battery holder 11 through each elastic arm 121, and is separated from the dismantling seat 100 so that the corresponding battery holder 11 is between the dismantling seat 100 and the fixing portion 122, so that another wire 124 is electrically connected to the fixing portion 122. At the same time, since the above-mentioned conductive component 12 or each conductive sheet 12' is the positive electrode, the other wire 124 is connected to the positive electrode.

Furthermore, the elastic arm portion 121 may be provided with one or more elastic sheets 121a for pressing the battery 3 downward, and since the elastic arm portion 121 needs to be placed across each battery holder 11 and is higher than the disassembling portion 120 and the fixing portion 122, two buckle edges 110b respectively adjacent to the disassembling portion 120 and the fixing portion 122 may be provided outside the surrounding wall 110 of each battery holder 11 to respectively hook on the two buckle holes 121b of the elastic arm portion 121 respectively adjacent to the disassembling portion 120 and the fixing portion 122. The shapes or sizes of the two buckle edges 110b and the shapes or sizes of the two buckle holes 121b may be different, as long as the buckle edges 110b correspond to the buckle holes 121b, so as to fix the elastic arm 121 to the battery holder 11. In addition, since the buckle edges 110b and the buckle holes 121b near the disassembly portion 120 need to be detachable, the shapes or sizes thereof may be wider and shallower as hooks, which also have the function of pre-positioning during assembly and reduce unnecessary actions such as hand support by the assembler; while the buckle edges 110b and the buckle holes 121b near the fixing portion 122 do not need to be disassembled, so the shapes or sizes thereof may be narrower and deeper as hooks. In short, in design, the width of the buckle hole 121 b adjacent to the detaching portion 120 may be greater than that of the buckle hole 121 b adjacent to the fixing portion 122 .

In addition, in order to prevent the wire 124 from being soldered on the fixing portion 122 with too much solder and interfering with the assembly, a hole 122a may be provided on the fixing portion 122 for isolation.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. In this embodiment, the two conductive sheets 12' each have a dismantling portion 120. Each dismantling portion 120 is provided with a through hole 120a. The through holes 120a of the two conductive sheets 12' are stacked one on top of the other, so that the assembly element 123 can pass through the through holes 120a of the two conductive sheets 12' and be fixed on the dismantling base 100. The assembly element 123 can be a screw or a bolt, and the dismantling base 100 is provided with a screw hole for screwing the screw into the screw hole, so as to pass through the assembly element 123. The assembly component 123 can simultaneously ensure that multiple batteries 3 arranged in the battery holder 11 are connected or conductive, and can simplify the design of the installation structure of the battery 3, as well as the complicated operations of disassembly and assembly. Even because the configuration and assembly of multiple batteries 3 can be completed by using a single assembly component 123, the number of assembly components 123 and wires 113, 124 can be reduced, so as to further reduce the cost of parts, and even make it easier and simpler in the wiring operation due to the reduction in the number of wires 113, 124.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , the present invention can also be applied to a single battery 3, that is, the battery 3 in one of the battery holders 11 can be omitted for configuration. Since the two conductive sheets 12' can be stacked up and down through their disassembly and fixing parts 120 for conductive connection, and both are electrically connected by their fixing parts 122, even if there is no battery 3 configured in any battery holder 11 and only a single battery 3 is left or the battery 3 is not completely filled, the electrical connection or conductive effect can still be ensured, thereby improving its versatility for use with a single battery 3, and thus being more conducive to being applied to a variety of different electronic devices 2.

As shown in FIG5, an embodiment of the conductive component 12 is disclosed in which the two conductive sheets 12' are formed as one body. It can be seen from this embodiment that the conductive component 12 of the present invention is not limited to two separate conductive sheets 12', and the one-piece forming method can facilitate the assembly component 123 to directly penetrate the assembly component 123, which has the effect of simplifying the operation procedure.

Therefore, by means of the above-mentioned structural composition, the multi-battery mounting structure and the electronic device thereof of the present invention can be obtained.
