The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

For the convenience of users, batteries are built in more and more electronic devices, and most of the batteries of the electronic devices are detachably mounted, so that a fit gap exists between the batteries and a battery compartment. When people use the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment is inevitably taken off the hands due to carelessness, and the electronic equipment falls off; or vibration is generated in the process of carrying the electronic equipment by people. And when the electronic equipment condition such as vibrations appear, fall, because the existence of cooperation clearance can be dismantled to the battery, the impact force that the battery received and the phenomenon of contact failure appears in the easy appearance, the electronic equipment that leads to can cut off the power supply suddenly, and this is unfavorable for improving electronic equipment's life.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protective case for protecting electronic components and enabling the battery to be attached and detached. When the protective shell is applied to electronic equipment, the battery can be prevented or reduced from generating displacement on the battery compartment, the output end of the battery is prevented from being separated from the power connection end, poor contact can be avoided or reduced, and the service life of the electronic equipment is prolonged.

For a better understanding of the protective housing of the present application, reference is made to an electronic device to which the protective housing is applied.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, an electronic device is provided, which includes a protective case 10 applied to the electronic device. The protective shell 10 includes a battery compartment 100 and a locking structure 200, wherein the battery compartment 100 is provided with a receiving cavity 110 for receiving the battery 20 and an electrical connection terminal 120 disposed in the receiving cavity 110. The bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with an elastic part 130 for abutting against the battery 20, and the elastic part 130 and the electric connection end 120 are arranged in a staggered manner; the locking structure 200 includes a locking tongue 210, and the locking tongue 210 is movably disposed on the battery compartment 100 and used for locking or releasing the battery 20.

When the electronic device is used, the protective case 10 protects the electronic components, and the battery compartment 100 of the protective case 10 is used to attach and detach the battery 20. When the battery 20 is installed, the latch 210 is moved so that the battery 20 can be seated in the receiving cavity 110 and connected to the electric connection terminal 120. At the same time, the elastic part 130 is used to make the battery 20 more compactly fixed on the battery compartment 100. Finally, the latch 210 moves again, so that the battery 20 is locked in the battery compartment 100. After the battery 20 is mounted and fixed, when the electronic device is used, if the electronic device is accidentally dropped, the electronic device falls off; or a shock is generated during the process of carrying the electronic device, the battery 20 on the protective case 10 may be impacted. At this time, the elastic portion 130 can prevent or reduce the displacement generated on the battery compartment 100 when the battery 20 is impacted, and avoid the separation of the output end 22 of the battery 20 from the power connection end 120, so as to avoid or reduce the phenomenon of poor contact, so that the power failure condition of the electronic device is not easy to occur, and the service life of the electronic device is prolonged. When the battery 20 is disassembled, the bolt 210 is only required to be moved reversely to loosen the battery 20. At this point, the battery 20 has been loosened, enabling efficient removal from the battery compartment 100.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, in one embodiment, at least three elastic portions 130 are provided and spaced along the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 110. Thus, at least three elastic parts 130 are used to form a butting plane, so that the battery 20 can be installed on the battery compartment 100 with pretightening force, and the tightness between the battery and the accommodating cavity is favorably improved.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, in an embodiment, the battery compartment 100 includes a limiting protrusion 180, the limiting protrusion 180 is disposed on the upper portion of the accommodating cavity 110 and is spaced from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110 to form a clamping groove 190, one side of the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with an inlet and outlet 114, the inlet and outlet 114 is disposed opposite to the electrical connection end 120, and the inlet and outlet 114 is communicated with the clamping groove 190; the battery 20 comprises a clamping body 24, the clamping body 24 is in limit fit with the clamping groove 190, the battery 20 is provided with a limit groove 26, and the limit groove 26 is in plug fit with the limit convex body 180. Thus, when the battery 20 is installed, the battery 20 can be inserted into the limit groove 26 by the limit protrusion 180 only by pushing the battery 20 from the inlet/outlet 114 direction, the clip body 24 is inserted into the clip groove 190 for anti-dropping fixation, and the battery 20 can be fixed on the battery compartment 100 by moving the lock tongue 210, so that the installation is fast. When the battery 20 needs to be disassembled, the latch 210 is only moved to unlock the battery 20, and the battery 20 is pulled reversely to move away from the access opening 114. In the process, the limiting convex body 180 can be separated from the limiting groove 26, the clamping body 24 is separated from the clamping groove 190, and then the battery 20 can be taken out of the battery compartment 100, so that the battery 20 can be disassembled, the battery 20 and the battery compartment 100 can be disassembled quickly, and the improvement of user experience is facilitated.

It should be noted that the "limiting convex body 180" may be a part of the battery compartment 100, that is, the "limiting convex body 180" and the other part of the battery compartment 100 are integrally formed; or a separate member that can be separated from the other parts of the battery compartment 100, that is, the "limit protrusion 180" can be manufactured separately and then combined with the other parts of the battery compartment 100 into a whole.

The expressions "a certain body" and "a certain part" in the present application are only one example, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application for reading convenience, and the technical solutions equivalent to the present application should be understood as being included in the above features and having the same functions.

It should be noted that the "latch 210" can be moved by a variety of driving means, including but not limited to an electrical control movement or a mechanical linkage control movement.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 6, in an embodiment, the locking structure 200 further includes a driving member 220, the driving member 220 is movably disposed outside the battery compartment 100 and is used for driving the latch 210 to move, so that the latch 210 can be switched between the locking state and the releasing state. Thus, the driving member 220 is disposed outside the battery compartment 100, so as to facilitate operation, and the driving member 220 can directly or indirectly drive the latch 210 to move. Meanwhile, the position of the bolt 210 can be flexibly adjusted, and if the bolt 210 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 110, the bolt 210 can be hidden, so that the bolt 210 is prevented from being damaged; the locking strength can be improved, and the battery 20 is pressed and locked by utilizing the side wall of the accommodating cavity 110.
