Electronic device and its switching device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device using a battery and a switching device for controlling switching between the battery and the circuit.

As electronic devices become more portable, battery-powered methods are everywhere. Such as mobile phones, notebook computers, etc. Since the battery is connected to the circuit, even if the electronic device does not work, the battery will be in a slow discharge state. Over time, the battery will be completely discharged.

Usually, people do not use battery-powered electronic devices for a long time to remove the battery to prevent discharge. However, this method is cumbersome to operate, and requires additional storage of the battery and the subsequent installation of the electronic device.

The user maintains the first conductive member in contact with the second conductive member during communication with the electronic device having the above-described switching device, so that the circuit portion communicates with the battery. When the electronic device is not used for a long time, the connection between the first conductive member and the second conductive member may be moved by moving the sliding block, that is, the connection between the battery and the circuit portion is disconnected, thereby avoiding the connection between the battery and the circuit portion. Chronic discharge effect. When it is necessary to use the electronic device again, it is only necessary to move the sliding block to re-establish the connection between the battery and the circuit portion, which is very convenient to operate.

Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device 10 includes a substrate 102, a cover 104, and a battery. The cover 106 is surrounded by a container. Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the battery cover 102 of the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1 after being opened. A strip baffle 108 is disposed on the cover plate 104. The substrate 102, the shutter 108 and the battery cover 102 together enclose a battery receiving slot for placing the battery. A square through hole 182 is defined in the baffle 108.

Please refer to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, which are respectively a partial cross-sectional view, an enlarged view and an exploded view of the electronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1. A concave slot 122 is defined in the substrate 102 adjacent to the shutter 108. The electronic device 10 also includes a switching device 300 for use with the substrate 102, the baffle 108, and the cover plate 104. The switch device 300 includes a sliding block 200, a support plate 202, an elastic member 204, a first conductive member 206, a second conductive member 208, and a linkage rod 210.

The support plate 202 is fixed to a position on the cover plate 104 corresponding to the slot 122. The first conductive member 206 is elastically fixed to the support plate 202 by the elastic member 204. In the embodiment, the elastic member 204 is a spring, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the support plate 202 and the first conductive member 206. The second conductive member 208 is in electrical contact with the first conductive member 206 through the through hole 182 in the baffle 108. The slider 200 is slidably fixed in the slot 122. One side of the sliding block 200 facing the cover plate 104 is provided with a curved rotating groove 232, and a side of the first conducting member 206 facing the substrate 102 is provided with a recess 262. One end of the interlocking lever 210 is rotatably fixed in the rotation groove 232, and the other end is slidably received in the pocket 262. The position where the first conductive member 206 and the second conductive member 208 are in contact with each other is in the shape of a rack, and the racks of the two can be engaged with each other to be electrically connected. The first conductive member 206 is for connection with a circuit portion of the electronic device 10, and the second conductive member 208 is for connection with a battery.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a closed state of the switch device 300 shown in FIG. 3 . It is intended that the first conductor 206 is now in contact with the second conductor 208 based on the resilient support of the resilient member 204 and that the racks are intermeshing with each other. The linkage rod 210 is obliquely coupled between the slider 200 and the first conductor 206. Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the disconnected state of the switch device 300 shown in FIG. 3 . After the sliding block 200 slides in the slot 122 , one end of the linkage rod 210 is moved, and the other end of the linkage rod 210 is forced. The first conductive member 206 is pushed downwardly until it is separated from the second conductive member 208, at which time the elastic member 204 is compressed. If the sliding block 200 returns to the position before the sliding, the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 204 pushes the first conductive member 206 upward to make it re-contact with the second conductive member 208.

As such, the user maintains the first conductive member 206 in contact with the second conductive member 208 during the need to use the electronic device 10 to cause the circuit portion to communicate with the battery. When the electronic device 10 is not used for a long time, the connection of the battery to the circuit portion can be disconnected by moving the slider 200 to avoid a chronic discharge effect due to the connection of the battery to the circuit portion. When the electronic device 10 is needed again, it is only necessary to move the slider 200 to re-establish the connection between the battery and the circuit portion, which is very convenient to operate.
