Description

Battery cover lock structure

The present invention relates to a battery cover latch structure, and more particularly to a battery cover latch structure applied to a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone.

Portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are increasingly used, and batteries that provide energy for portable electronic devices have to be replaced with energy consumption, so that the battery can be easily installed. Many battery cover latch structures have been designed.

The battery cover latch structure of the conventional portable electronic device is mostly clamped on the body by using a hook and a buckle structure, that is, a pair of hooks are arranged at one end of the battery cover, and a latch pin is disposed at the other end, corresponding to one end of the body. One pair of card slots, and the other end is provided with a buttonhole. When installing, first insert the hook of the battery cover into the card slot of the body, and then rotate the battery cover with the card slot as the axis toward the body and press the battery cover until the card lock pin of the battery cover is locked into the lock hole of the body. .

Although the battery cover is firmly integrated with the body after installation, in addition to removing the hook from the card slot and the latch pin and the lock hole, an external force is applied to pry the battery cover from the body and The removal makes the process of removing the battery cover cumbersome.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a battery cover latch structure that secures the battery cover to the body and is easy to operate.

A battery cover latch structure comprises a body, a battery cover, a button and an elastic component, the battery cover has a latching member, the button is provided with two claws and a card block, the card block and the card The fasteners are engaged with each other, and the one end of the elastic member is abutted on the button. The battery cover latching structure further includes a button holder mounted on the body, and the other end of the elastic member is abutted on the button holder. The claw is slidably engaged with the button holder, and the battery cover is further provided with a guiding body matched with the clamping block, the clamping block can abut the guiding body, so that the guiding body drives the battery cover away The direction of the body moves.

Compared with the prior art, the battery cover latch structure of the present invention clamps the battery cover by engaging the snap portion of the button with the snap member of the battery cover by pushing the button to slide on the button base. On the body. When the device is disassembled, the button is pressed to release the locking member from the restriction of the engaging portion, and the guiding body is pushed up by the clamping block, so that the guiding body drives the battery cover to move away from the body, thereby opening the battery. cover.

The bottom surface 1312 and the two claws 1315 A cylinder 1310 is also protruded therebetween.

Referring to FIG. 4 together, the button holder 14 includes a base 141 and a protrusion 142. The base 141 has a substantially rectangular plate shape, and a fixing hole 143 is defined in each of the positioning posts 118 corresponding to the body 11 on the surface of the two ends of the base 141. The bump 142 includes a rectangular block 144 and a flange 146. The rectangular block 144 is fixed to the base 141. The rectangular block 144 includes a first sidewall 1440 and a second sidewall 1442 opposite to the first sidewall 1440. A rectangular through hole 1443 extending through the second sidewall 1442 is defined in the first sidewall 1440. A portion of the second side wall 1442 extending from the base 141 is abutted against the wall 1444. An opening 1445 is defined in each of the two sides of the rectangular block 144 adjacent to the rectangular through hole 1443. The opening 1445 communicates with the rectangular through hole 1443. The rectangular through hole 1443 defines two substantially "L" shaped bending arms 1446 opposite to the wall of the hole, and the bending arm 1446 is for supporting the claw 1315 of the button 13. The flange 146 has a generally "ㄇ" shape extending from the top of the rectangular block 144. The flange 146 has a rectangular notch 1462 that extends through the rectangular through hole 1443.

In the present embodiment, the elastic member 15 is a cylindrical coil spring which is sleeved on the cylinder 1310 of the button 13 and accommodated in the rectangular through hole 1443. The elastic member 15 has one end abutting against the resisting wall 1444 and the other end abutting against the bottom surface 1312 of the button 13.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 together, in the assembly, the elastic member 15 is first sleeved on the cylinder 1310 of the button 13; then the elastic member 15 and the cylinder 1310 are placed together in the rectangular through hole 1443, so that The elastic member 15 has one end abutting against the resisting wall 1444 and the other end abutting against the bottom surface 1312 of the button 13 while pressing the two fingers 1315 of the button 13 such that the claw 1315 protrudes from the first side wall 1440 of the bump 142. After the elastic force of the elastic member 15 is overcome, the rectangular through hole 1443 is inserted, and the second block 1316 is in contact with the flange 146; then the two claws 1315 are released, and the two claws 1315 are held at the corresponding openings. 1445, and can slide along the rectangular through hole 1443 on the bending arm 1446; finally, the button seat 14 with the button 13 and the elastic member 15 is mounted on the body 11, and the rib 1314 is pressed against the body 11 The inside of the second end wall 112. At this time, the button holder 14 is sleeved on the fixing hole 143 and thermally integrated, and the button 13 is received in the notch 116.

Referring to FIG. 7 , when the battery cover 12 is to be placed on the body 11 , the battery cover 12 is first aligned with the receiving slot 115 , and the hook 121 of the battery cover 12 is locked.
