Battery cover lock structure

The invention relates to a battery cover latch structure, in particular to a battery cover latch structure applied to a portable electronic device.

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. In order to facilitate the installation of the battery, many battery cover latch structures have been designed.

A conventional battery cover latch structure includes a body, a battery cover and a fixing device. The body is provided with a battery receiving slot for accommodating a battery therein. The fixing device comprises a card block formed on the battery cover and a card slot formed on the body. The card can be detachably engaged in the card slot to lock the battery cover to the body to shield the battery. When replacing the battery, first operate the fixing device to release the battery cover; then use your fingers to separate the battery cover from the body.

However, the battery cover of the battery cover latch structure has a thin thickness and is closely attached to the body, so that the separation operation of the battery cover from the body is very troublesome, thereby causing inconvenience in replacing the battery. In addition, after the battery cover is completely separated from the body, the battery cover needs to be additionally stored, and when the portable electronic device is dropped, the battery cover is easily separated from the body and lost.

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

A battery cover latch structure for fastening a battery, the battery cover latch structure comprises a body, a battery cover covering the body and an elastic member, the elastic member abutting the battery cover at one end, and One end is abutted against the body, and the battery is coupled to the battery cover so that the elastic member is carried out by the body when the battery cover is lifted.

Compared with the prior art, the battery cover latch structure of the present invention automatically lifts the battery cover by the elastic member, so that the user can replace the battery more conveniently.

Referring to the preferred embodiment of the battery cover latch structure of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the battery cover latch structure 10 is used to secure a battery 20 (see FIG. 5). The battery cover latch structure 10 includes a body 11 , a battery cover 12 , an elastic member 13 , and a rotating shaft 14 .

The body 11 has a top wall 111, a bottom wall 112 disposed opposite the top wall 111, and two side walls 113 connecting the top wall 111 and the bottom wall 112. The top wall 111 and the bottom wall The 112 and the two side walls 113 define a rectangular receiving groove 114 for receiving the battery 20 therein. The body 11 defines an elastic member receiving portion 1121 adjacent to the bottom wall 112. Two "L" shaped card slots 115 are spaced apart from each of the side walls 113. The "L" shaped card slot 115 includes a first card slot 1151 and a second card slot 1152. The top surface of the side wall 113 opens to the receiving groove 114 to form the first card slot 1151 , and then the second card slot 1152 that communicates with the first card slot 1151 is opened in the direction of the top wall 111 . A recess 1153 is defined in the inner wall of the second slot 1152. A rotating shaft hole 116 is defined in the body 11 adjacent to the bottom wall 112 for rotatably receiving the rotating shaft 14 therein. The shaft hole 116 communicates with the elastic member housing portion 1121.

The battery cover 12 is configured to cover the receiving slot 114 of the body 11 to shield the battery. The battery cover 12 has a generally rectangular plate shape with an outer surface 121 and an opposite inner surface 122. A plurality of limiting blocks 1221 are protruded from the inner surface 122 to form an accommodating space 1222 between the limiting blocks 1221 for accommodating the battery 20 therein. When the battery cover 12 is placed on the body 11, the accommodating space 1222 and the accommodating groove 114 coincide. The battery cover 12 is symmetrically disposed at one end of the inner surface 122 to the two shaft mounting portions 123. An elongated hole 124 is defined in an inner wall of each of the shaft mounting portions 123. The slot 124 includes a first hole 1241, a second hole 1242 and a connecting slot 1243. The connecting groove 1243 communicates the first hole 1241 with the second hole 1242. The inner surface 122 of the battery cover 12 protrudes from the plurality of blocks 125 corresponding to the "L" shaped card slot 115. A protrusion 1251 protrudes from the corresponding groove 1153 on the peripheral wall of the inner surface 122 of the block 125.

The 13 is an integral torsion spring, which includes two bodies 131 , a first abutting portion 132 and a second abutting portion 133 . The two bodies 131 respectively surround a through hole 1311. One end of each body 131 extends perpendicularly out of the first abutting portion 132. The second abutting portion 133 is substantially U-shaped, and is connected by the other end of the two bodies 131 and located at the two Between body 131. When the angle between the two first abutting portions 132 and the second abutting portion 133 is small, the elastic member 13 generates an elastic force that resists an angle between the first abutting portion 132 and the second abutting portion 133.

The rotating shaft 14 includes a first end 141 and an opposite second end 142.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 , the first end 141 of the rotating shaft 14 is inserted through one side of the rotating shaft hole 116 until the first end 141 of the rotating shaft 14 is exposed in the elastic member receiving portion 1121 . At this time, the body 131 of the elastic member 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 14; then the first end 141 of the rotating shaft 14 is again inserted into the rotating shaft hole 116 by the elastic member receiving portion 1121, and The other side of the shaft hole 116 is inserted out; the two ends of the shaft 14 are respectively installed in the first holes 1241 of the two narrow holes 124 of the battery cover 12; then the battery cover 12 is turned around the rotating shaft 14 toward the body 11 is rotated until the card block 125 is embedded in the first card slot 1151 of the "L" shaped card slot 115. At this time, each of the first abutting portions 132 of the elastic member 13 is abutted on the elastic member receiving portion 1121. The second abutting portion 133 abuts against the inner surface 122 of the battery cover 12; finally, the battery cover 12 is slid toward the top end 111 of the body 11 until the block 125 snaps into the second card slot of the "L" shaped card slot 115. In 1152, at this time, each protrusion 1251 is caught in the corresponding groove 1153, so that the battery cover latch structure 10 is installed.

When the battery 20 needs to be replaced, the battery cover 12 is simply pushed toward the bottom wall 112 of the body 11 until the block 125 is detached from the "L" shaped card slot 115. At this time, the battery cover 12 is under the action of the elastic member 13. The battery 32 is automatically popped up, so that the battery 32 can be installed in the accommodating space 1222 of the battery cover 12 or the battery 20 can be taken out from the accommodating space 1222.

The battery cover latch structure 10 of the present invention automatically lifts the battery cover 12 by the elastic member 13, so that the user can replace the battery 20 more conveniently. In addition, the battery cover 12 is hinged to the body 11 by the rotating shaft 14. The risk of loss of the battery cover 12 is effectively avoided.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the present invention are It should be covered by the following patent application.
