In the switch-on state, the lamp 10 is lit.

The structure of the battery box 11 and the battery box storage part 12 of the main body 2 will be described below based on the descriptions of FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 8, the battery box 11 is housed in a battery box housing portion 12 formed at a predetermined position inside the main body 2. For this purpose, an insertion port 13 is provided in the rear side wall 2A of the main body 2 so that the battery box 11 can be inserted into the battery box storage portion 12 of the main body 2 or pulled out from the battery box 11. Has been.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 7, and 8, the battery box 11 is made up of a cover 14 and a battery support 15 that are fitted and integrated with each other. The battery support 15 is made of synthetic resin, and has compartments separated from each other by a flat intermediate partition wall 16, that is, a dry battery storage portion 17. As shown in the figure, the dry cell storage portion 17 is arranged on both sides of the upper surface 15A and the lower surface 15B of the battery support 15 in the direction along the long side of the stored dry cell, that is, the battery box 11 is stored in the battery box. It is provided along the direction of storing in the portion 12. Two upper surfaces 15A are provided at the left and right central portions of the battery support 15, and four lower surfaces 15B are provided. Each dry cell storage portion 17 is configured so that a 1.5-volt dry battery 18 of a long and narrow AA shape with a circular cross section can be inserted (see FIGS. 3, 7, and 8).

As shown in FIG. 8, the battery box 11 housed in the battery box housing part 12 is supported and mounted at a predetermined position inside the battery box housing part 12 at the left and right opening edges 13 </ b> A of the insertion opening 13. A fixing mechanism 19 is provided to fix and hold the battery box 11 so that it cannot be easily detached.

As shown in FIG. 8 (2), the grip 20 and an engagement piece 21 projecting into the opening from the left and right edges of the insertion port 13 for engaging the grip 20 with its elastic repulsive force. It consists of. As shown in FIGS. 1 (1) and 2 (1), the grip 20 has a substantially U-shaped alphabet when viewed from above and is provided with a knob 22 at the end. Further, it is convenient to insert / remove the battery box 11 into / from the battery box storage portion 12 at the free end of the piece 20A extending in the opposite direction to the side in which the battery box 11 is stored in the battery box storage portion 12 in the grip 20. The knob 22 is provided. Further, a locking claw 23 is integrally protruded in the left and right lateral direction at the base of the knob 22 in the piece 20A, and this engages with the engaging piece 21 to store the battery box 11 in the battery box 11. Inadvertent detachment from the section 12 is prevented. Needless to say, since the grip 20 can be elastically deformed, by pushing the knobs 22 closer to the cover 14, the piece 20 </ b> A bends, and the latching claw 23 is detached from the engagement piece 21, and the battery box 11. Can be easily pulled out from the battery box storage section 12.

  Further, when the battery box 11 is mounted in the battery box housing portion 12 of the main body 2 and the battery box 11 is held at a predetermined position by the fixing mechanism 19, the cover 14 of the battery box 11 is attached to the main body 2. In other words, one side surface of the battery box 11 is configured to be flush with the exterior surface of the main body 2.

As described above, the battery box 11 is provided with two dry battery storage portions 17 on the left and right central portions of the upper surface 15A of the upper surface 15A of the battery support 15 as a constituent member, and four dry cell storage portions 17 on the lower surface 15B. As a result, the flat bulkiness is not inferior to that of the prior art, and it is a compact power supply box 11, and the selection of the period of use compared to the one in which the dry cell storage unit 17 is integrally provided in the electronic device. It is a battery box that is much easier to use and has improved characteristics.

Next, the interconnection means of the individual dry batteries 18 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2 (1) and 2 (2), contact strips 25 are provided on the inner surface of the wall 24 on the cover 14 side of the battery support 15 so as to correspond to each dry cell storage portion 17. . On the contrary, on the opposite side of the wall 26 (the side in which the battery box 11 is stored in the battery box storage portion 12) opposite to the cover 14, that is, on the opposite side of the contact strip 25, the corresponding pole of the dry battery 18 is the main body. The opening 28 is provided so that the contact strip 27 (refer FIG. 7) fixed to the 2 inner walls 2B can be contacted. The dry batteries 18 are connected by the configuration of the contact strips 25 and 27 while being inserted into the dry battery storage portions 17. Details will be discussed later, its corresponding connection (in series connection in the illustrated example) may be a parallel even series. Needless to say, these batteries 18, by a predetermined electrical wiring, the electric motor over 7, the switch 8 is further electrically connected to the lamp 10. Therefore, the interconnection means is composed of the contact strip 25 of the battery box 11 and the contact strip 27 of the main body 2.

FIG. 8 shows a step of inserting the electric box 11 into the battery box housing portion 12 of the main body 2 of the chemical volatilization container 1. In the example shown in the figure, the dry batteries 18 are stored in all the dry battery storage units 17 and can be used for 90 days.
First, from the state shown in FIG. 8A, the battery box 11 is inserted into the battery box storage portion 12 side of the main body 2. As the battery box 11 is inserted, each dry battery 17 also moves toward the contact strip 27 fixed to the inner wall 2B of the main body 2. By further pushing in, the locking claw 23 of the grip 20 gets over the engagement piece 21 provided at the opening edge of the insertion port 13, and finally is locked to the engagement piece 21 (FIG. 8 (2)). Thereby, there is no possibility that the battery box 11 is easily detached from the main body 2 even by an inadvertent external force. At the same time, the contact on the inner wall 2B side of the main body 2 of each dry battery 18 in the battery box 11 is pressed against the contact strip 27 on the inner wall 2B side of the main body 2 to energize the main body 2 from the dry battery 18.

  In order to detach the battery box 11 from the battery box housing part 12, first, the piece 20A is bent by pushing the knobs 22 closer to the cover 14 and the engagement claw 23 is engaged with the engagement piece 21. Is released. The battery box 11 can be easily pulled out from the battery box storage portion 12 by pulling the knob 22 toward the front as it is while maintaining this state.

In addition, in each said figure, the structure in the case of applying to the general dry battery which consists of a cylindrical shape as the dry battery 18, mainly AA type and 1.5V was described. However, this configuration cannot be applied to a so-called pack-type power supply battery having a substantially the same shape as a configuration in which a plurality of cylindrical dry batteries are assembled, and another means is required.
In other words, in the illustrated example, each dry cell storage portion 17 of the battery box 11 is partitioned by the intermediate partition wall 16 so that each of the dry cells 18 can be stored independently. The intermediate partition 16 interferes with storage and cannot be stored favorably. Therefore, in order to enable desirable storage, although not shown, it is possible to cope with it by removing the intermediate partition wall 16. In this case, it is easier to store the pack-type dry battery if it is provided on the lower surface 15B of the battery support 15 and the partition wall 16A at the center of the left and right of each dry battery storage part 12 is left.

Next, FIG. 9 shows an electric circuit having the structure shown in the above embodiment.
Two batteries 1, 2 (circled numbers in the figure) in the battery box 11 are connected in series, and four batteries 3, 4, 5, 6 (circled numbers in the figure) are connected in series. A series connection set is connected in parallel. As described above, the dry batteries 18 in the power supply box 11 are configured such that adjacent ones are alternately inserted in opposite directions, and the dry batteries are arranged in two stages of four and two. However, two dry batteries 1 and 2 are arranged in the upper stage, and four batteries 3, 4, 5, 6 are arranged in the lower stage. In the case of using two (for example, 30 days of use), the upper two are 1, 2; in the case of using four (for example, 60 days of use), the lower four are 3, 4, 5, 6 and 6 In the case of this use (for example, a 90-day use period), all the upper two dry batteries and the lower four batteries are inserted.

  Further, in the illustrated example, a contact strip 27 fixed to the inner wall 2B on the main body 2 side is provided, and the poles of the respective dry batteries 18 of the battery box 11 are directly brought into contact therewith. There is no need to be caught up in the method. For example, as shown in Example 2 of FIGS. 10 and 11, a pair of positive and negative external extraction contacts 29 are provided on the outer surface of the wall 26 of the battery box storage portion 12 in the battery box 11, and also on the inner wall 2B on the main body 2 side. Alternatively, a method may be employed in which a pair of positive and negative contacts is provided to contact both.

A specific structure for providing the external take-out contact 29 is as follows.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 10 (1) and 10 (2), the battery box 11 is made up of a cover 14 and a battery support 15 that are fitted together and integrated as in the first embodiment. . The battery support 15 is made of synthetic resin, and has compartments separated from each other by a flat intermediate partition wall 16, that is, a dry battery storage portion 17. As shown in the figure, the dry cell storage portion 17 is arranged on both sides of the upper surface 15A and the lower surface 15B of the battery support 15 in the direction along the long side of the dry cell stored, that is, the battery box 11 is connected to the battery box storage portion. 12 along the direction of storage. Two upper surfaces 15A are provided at the left and right central portions of the battery support 15, and four lower surfaces 15B are provided. Each dry cell storage portion 17 is configured such that a 1.5-volt dry cell 18 of a long and thin AA shape with a circular cross section can be inserted. The battery support 15 has a dry battery storage portion 17 formed directly on the upper surface 15A and the lower surface 15B. However, the battery support 15 is formed of two upper and lower parts having bottoms, and the bottoms are superposed on each other to obtain an appropriate It may be integrally connected using a fitting connection means. Alternatively, it is formed by two upper and lower parts having a bottom on one side, and these two parts are made to be connected integrally by using an appropriate fitting connection means so that the bottom of the one part is made common. May be. This configuration can also be applied to the first embodiment.

  When the battery box 11 is mounted in the battery box housing portion 12 of the main body 2 and the battery box 11 is held at a predetermined position by the fixing mechanism 19 (see FIG. 8), the cover of the battery box 11 is covered. 14 constitutes a part of the exterior of the main body 2, that is, one side surface of the battery box 11 is configured to be flush with the outer surface of the main body 2.

  Furthermore, since the battery box 11 is provided with two dry battery storage portions 17 on the left and right central portions of the upper surface 15A of the battery support 15 which is a constituent member, and four dry battery storage portions 17 on the lower surface 15B, the planar bulkiness is also conventional. Compared with the case where the power supply box 11 is not inferior to that of the battery pack 11 and the battery storage part 17 is integrally provided in the electronic device, the selectivity of the use period is remarkably improved, and the battery is very easy to use. Is a box.

Next, the interconnection means of the individual dry batteries 18 will be described.
A contact strip 25 (negative electrode in the illustrated example) is provided on the inner surface of the wall 24 on the cover 14 side of the battery support 15 so as to correspond to each dry cell storage portion 17. Conversely, on the side opposite to the cover 14 (the side in which the battery box 11 is stored in the battery box storage portion 12), that is, on the inner surface of the wall 26 opposite to the contact strip 25, a corresponding pole of the dry battery 18 is provided. A contact strip 25 (positive electrode in the illustrated example) is provided for contact. In the case of this example, unlike the one shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 7, and 8 of the first embodiment, the wall 26 on the side opposite to the cover 14 has no opening 28, and the battery box is housed. The side opposite to the cover 14 of each dry cell storage part 17 of the part 12 is closed.

As described above, a pair of positive and negative external extraction contacts 29 are provided on the outer surface of the wall 26 of the battery box storage portion 12 in the battery box 11 (see FIGS. 10 (3) and 11), and the inner wall 2B on the main body 2 side. Thus, a method is adopted in which a pair of positive and negative contacts (see FIG. 11) is provided at a portion corresponding to the external take-out contact 29 and both are brought into contact with each other. The battery 18 is connected by the structure of each contact strip 25 in the state inserted in each dry cell storage part 17. Details are given in the next section. Needless to say, these batteries 18, by a predetermined electrical wiring, the electric motor over 7, the switch 8 is further electrically connected to the lamp 10. Therefore, the interconnection means is composed of the contact strip 25 of the battery box 11, the external take-out contact 29, and the contact of the main body 2 (see FIG. 11).

  In order to insert the battery box 11 into the battery box storage portion 12 of the main body 2 of the chemical volatilization container 1, the same procedure as in the first embodiment is performed.
