The batteries of the existing portable electronic devices are mostly detachable batteries, and are accommodated in portable electronic devices. There is a battery cover that is inserted into the body of the casing. When you need to replace the battery, open the battery cover and remove the battery.

An existing battery cover structure comprises a body, a battery cover, a button and a spring, the body is provided with a groove, the bottom of the button has a level column, the spring is connected, the button and the spring are embedded in the groove The inside of the groove can be moved within a certain range, and the button is provided with a locking portion, and the battery cover is provided with a card slot, and the engaging portion can be locked in the card slot of the battery cover. When assembling, push the button to the battery cover to release the button, cover the battery cover, release the button, and the spring acts under the elastic force to drive the button to move in the opposite direction, so that the engaging portion is stuck on the card slot of the battery cover; When the battery cover is pressed, the button is pushed to the level of the battery cover to be released, and the engaging portion of the button is separated from the battery cover slot to remove the battery cover. Although the battery cover latch structure can replace the battery, the disadvantage is that when the button is pushed in the horizontal direction during operation, the operation is inconvenient when the phone is held by the hand.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a battery cover latch structure that is easy to operate.

The battery cover latch structure is mounted on the body of the portable electronic device. The battery cover latch structure comprises a battery cover and a holding component. The holding component is rotatably mounted on the body; There is a card block, the card holder assembly is provided with a post, and the combination or separation of the battery post and the body is realized by rotating the holding component, the card post is combined with or disengaged from the card block.

Compared with the prior art, the battery cover of the battery cover structure of the present invention has a card block at one end thereof, and the card assembly is provided with a post. By rotating the card assembly, the card post is combined with or detached from the card to realize the battery. The cover is combined with or separated from the body for easy operation.
