Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the battery 200 is moved downward until the bottom of the battery 200 is supported on the groove bottom 112. In the process, the bottom of the battery 200 presses the protrusion 64, the protrusion 64 moves towards the inside of the receiving cavity 10a and drives the connecting rod 66 to rotate clockwise around the linkage rotating shaft 62, the end of the connecting rod 66, which is sleeved on the linkage rotating shaft 62, applies a pushing force to the end of the connecting arm 56, which is sleeved on the cover rotating shaft 52, and the pushing force forces the connecting arm 56 to rotate counterclockwise around the cover rotating shaft 52, and the connecting arm 56 rotates to drive the cover 54 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, referring to fig. 3 and fig. 14-15, the engaging portion 24 is accommodated in the engaging cavity 2012, and the limiting block 32 is located in the buffer cavity 2022 and abuts against the bottom surface of the buffer cavity 2022.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, finally, the battery 200 is continuously pushed toward the electrical connection portion 40, the side wall of the battery 200 continuously pushes the cover 54, so that the connection arm 56 rotates around the cover rotation shaft 52 counterclockwise until the electrical connection portion 40 is completely opened to the electrical contact portion on the battery 200, at this time, the electrical contact portion can be electrically connected to the electrical connection portion 40, and thus the electrical connection between the battery 200 and the battery mounting structure 100 is achieved to provide electrical energy. At this time, referring to fig. 3 and fig. 14-16, the engaging portion 24 of the first limiting member 20 is completely accommodated in the engaging cavity 2014 and abuts against the extending block 2016, and the limiting block 32 enters the limiting cavity 2024 from the buffer cavity 2022. In the process of pushing the battery 200, initially, the stopper 32 is pressed by the battery 200 to move away from the receiving slot 11 (downward movement in the view of fig. 14), so as to drive the button 34 to move toward the inside of the housing 10 and press the elastic member 36 to be compressed. After the stopper 32 completely enters the stopper cavity 2024 from the buffer cavity 2022, the elastic member 36 is deformed again, and the button 34 moves toward the outside of the housing 10 under the action of the elastic member 36 to be exposed from the accommodating groove 13. The height of the limiting block 32 is larger than the depth of the buffer cavity 2022, and the height of the limiting block 32 is matched with the depth of the limiting cavity 2024.
