Description

Battery casing

The invention relates to a battery holder.

In conventional computer systems, mercury batteries are widely used to power CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) on a motherboard. However, once the mercury battery in use is exhausted and cannot be used in the new mercury battery, all the information stored in CMOS will be lost.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a battery holder that can accommodate a spare battery.

A battery holder includes a socket for receiving and electrically connecting a first battery to supply power to an electronic device, the battery holder further comprising a spare layer, a first foot disposed outside the socket and the spare layer, and a second leg, the spare layer includes a carrying portion, a stopping portion rotatably coupled to one side of the first leg, and an arcuate wall extending from both sides of the second leg. The carrying portion, the stopping portion, the first and second legs and the curved wall enclose an accommodating space for receiving a spare second battery, and the second battery can be taken out from the accommodating space. The socket continues to power the electronic device.

Compared with the prior art, the accommodating space of the battery holder can accommodate a mercury battery for standby, so that the user can replace the battery in time.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of the battery holder 2 of the present invention includes a socket 20, a spare layer 24, and a second portion disposed on the sides of the socket 20 and extending downward to the bottom of the spare layer 24. One foot 22 and second foot 23.

The socket 20 includes a circular first bearing portion 204, an annular wall 202 extending vertically from an edge of the first bearing portion 204, a first conductive strip 206 disposed on a side of the annular wall 202, and The second conductive piece 208 is fixed to the top surface of the first carrying portion 204 at one end. The annular wall 202 and the first receiving portion 204 define a first accommodating space 210 for accommodating a first battery 1 .

The first and second legs 22 and 23 are respectively provided with a conductive terminal (not shown). The first conductive piece 206 and the second conductive piece 208 of the socket 20 are electrically connected to an electronic component through the two conductive terminals. A device (such as a circuit board, not shown) causes the first battery 1 to supply power to the circuit board.

The spare layer 24 includes a circular second carrying portion 240, a stopping portion 242 rotatably coupled to one side of the first leg 22, and a second extending from the two sides of the second leg 23. Curved wall 246. The blocking portion 242 forms a slope inwardly away from one end of the first foot 22 . The stopping portion 242 is on the same circumference as the curved wall 246 in the original state, and is combined with the second bearing portion 240, the curved wall 246 and the first and second legs 22, 23 to form a second The accommodating space 248 is for accommodating a second battery 3 for standby. In the present embodiment, the first battery 1 and the second battery 3 are mercury batteries.

In the present embodiment, the stopper portion 242 is integrally formed on one side of the first leg 22 and is rotatable relative to the first leg 22 to be elastically deformed. In other embodiments, the stopping portion 242 is rotatably coupled to the first foot 22 via a pivot shaft and a torsion spring.

Referring to FIG. 3, a top surface of the second receiving portion 240 defines a recess 244 downwardly on the other side of the first leg 22. The bottom surface of the first receiving portion 204 also forms a recess 205 in the recess 244. .

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, when assembling, the first battery 1 is received in the first accommodating space 210 to supply power to a CMOS. The second battery 3 is pushed in from the opening between the second leg 23 and the blocking portion 242, and the second battery 3 pushes against the inclined surface of the stopping portion 242 to elastically deform the blocking portion 242. When the second battery 3 completely enters the second accommodating space 248 and stops at the curved wall 246, the blocking portion 242 recovers the deformation and automatically rebounds to prevent the second battery 3 from being blocked. One side of the portion 242 slides out.

When the amount of the first battery 1 is insufficient, the finger is inserted between the recess 244 of the second receiving portion 240 and the recess 205 of the first receiving portion 204, and the second battery 3 is pushed outward to block the battery. The portion 242 is pushed outward to allow the second battery 3 to exit the spare layer 24. The second battery 3 can be taken out and loaded into the first accommodating space 210 of the socket 20 to continue to supply power to the circuit board.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
