Description

Battery holder

The present invention relates to a battery fixing device, and more particularly to a battery fixing device 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 portable electronic devices have to be replaced with energy consumption, so that the battery can be easily installed. Many battery fixtures have been designed.

The battery fixing device of the portable electronic device generally includes a recess formed in the body of the portable electronic device and a battery cover that can cover the recess. After the battery is loaded into the recess, the battery cover is secured to the body to confine the battery within the recess. In order to fix the battery cover to the body, a pair of hooks are generally arranged at one end of the battery cover, and a latching pin is disposed at the other end, correspondingly, a pair of card slots are arranged at one end of the body, and a latching hole is provided at the other end. When installing, first insert the hook of the battery cover into the card slot of the main body, and then rotate the battery cover toward the main body with the card slot as the axis and press the battery cover until the locking pin of the battery cover is locked into the locking hole of the main body. .

Although the battery fixing device can firmly fix the battery in the body, once the battery cover is combined with the body, the battery cover is difficult to disassemble, which causes inconvenience in use.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a battery fixing device that is easy to operate.

A battery fixing device includes a casing for accommodating a battery, the casing comprising a bottom wall, wherein the bottom wall is provided with two opposite engaging portions, and the bottom wall is disposed adjacent to one end of the engaging portion a resisting portion, and a retractable stop member disposed adjacent to the other end of the engaging portion, the two ends of the battery abut against the stop member and the battery when the battery is received in the housing Between the abutting portions, the two sides of the battery are engaged between the engaging portions. When the battery needs to be removed, the stopper is pressed to be in a compressed state, and the stopper is released from the battery. hold.

Compared with the prior art, the battery fixing device can realize the installation and removal of the battery by pressing the stopper to make the stopper in a compressed state.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the sealing member shown in FIG. 3 when it is opened; FIG. 5 is a part of the battery inserted into the first housing shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the battery of FIG. 5 fully assembled into the first housing.

The invention discloses a battery fixing device which is suitable for a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone. In the embodiment, a mobile phone is taken as an example for description.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the mobile phone 100 includes a first housing 10 and a a second housing 20 on the first housing 10, a battery 30 disposed on the first housing 10, a stop 40 and a sealing member 50. The stopper 40 has an arc shape and is telescopically disposed on the first housing 10. The sealing member 50 includes a main body 52, a fitting portion 54 extending from the main body 52, and a rotating body 56 extending from the main body 52 and spaced apart from the engaging portion 54. The seal 50 serves to prevent dust or moisture from entering the interior of the mobile phone 100.

The first housing 10 is a square frame, and includes a bottom wall 12 and a first sidewall 14 , a second sidewall 16 , and a third sidewall 18 disposed on the bottom wall 12 . The second sidewall 16 is disposed opposite the third sidewall 18 , and the first sidewall 14 connects the second sidewall 16 to the third sidewall 18 .

The bottom wall 12 is provided with two opposite strip-shaped engaging portions 122, and the extending direction of the engaging portions 122 is parallel to the second side wall 16. One of the engaging portions 122 is disposed adjacent to the second side wall 16 , and the other engaging portion 122 is disposed adjacent to the third side wall 18 . The cross-section of the engaging portion 122 is in the shape of an "L". Thus, the bottom wall 12 and each of the engaging portions 122 define a card slot 124 for the battery. 30 snaps. A plurality of ribs 126 are protruded from the bottom wall 12 between the engaging portions 122 , and the ribs 126 are parallel to the engaging portions 122 . The function of the ribs 126 is to prevent the battery 30 from directly contacting the bottom wall 12 when the battery 30 is engaged in the card slot 124. Thus, when the battery 30 needs to be removed, the battery 30 The frictional resistance experienced will be reduced, so that the battery 30 is easily slipped out of the card slot 124.

The bottom wall 12 is further disposed with abutting portion 128 parallel to the first sidewall 14 , and the abutting portion 128 is disposed adjacent to the latching portion 122 at one end of the first sidewall 14 . The resisting portion 128 is provided with an electrical connector 1282 corresponding to the electrical connection point of the battery 30 (as shown in FIG. 1). As such, when the battery 30 is in abutment with the abutting portion 128, the battery 30 can be It is now electrically connected to the internal components of the mobile phone 100.

A protrusion 129 is respectively disposed between the first sidewall 14 and each of the engaging portions 122. The two protrusions 129 are oppositely disposed, and each of the protrusions 129 is opposite to the other of the protrusions 129. A fixing groove 1292 is opened. The two ends of the stopper 40 are respectively fixed in the fixing groove 1292 to fix the stopper 40 to the first casing 10.

Referring to FIG. 3 , an opening 142 and a rotating hole 144 are defined in the first sidewall 14 . The opening 142 is disposed corresponding to the engaging portion 54 of the sealing member 50 for engaging with the engaging portion 54 to set the sealing member 50 on the first housing 10. The rotating hole 144 is disposed corresponding to the rotating body 56, and the rotating body 56 is rotatably received in the rotating hole 144.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the battery 30 is to be fixed in the first casing 10, the engaging portion 54 of the sealing member 50 is first disengaged from the opening 142, and then rotated around the rotating body 56. The seal 50 is such that the opening 142 is exposed to the outside. Referring to FIG. 5 together, the stopper 40 is pressed to make the stopper 40 in a compressed state. At this time, the stopper 40 should be at least flush with the rib 126 to facilitate the entry of the battery 30. The card slot 124 is inside. Then, the battery 30 is sequentially passed through the opening 142, past the stopper 40, and enters the card slot 124. Referring to FIG. 6 together, the battery 30 is continuously pushed until the battery 30 completely passes over the stop member 40, and the stopper 40 is re-bounced when it is restored to the original state. At this time, the two ends of the battery 30 are resisted. Between the stopper 40 and the abutting portion 128, both sides of the battery 30 are restricted between the engaging portions 122. Thus, the battery 30 is firmly fixed in the first casing 10 by the battery fixing device (not shown) composed of the abutting portion 128, the stopper 40 and the engaging portion 122.

It can be understood that after the battery 30 is fixed in the first casing 10, the sealing member 50 is rotated around the rotating body 56 until the fitting portion 54 of the sealing member 50 and the opening 142 are heavy. After the new alignment, the sealing member 50 is pressed to engage the fitting portion 54 in the opening 142 to seal the opening 142.

When the battery 30 needs to be removed, the fitting portion 54 of the sealing member 50 is disengaged from the opening 142, and then the sealing member 50 is rotated around the rotating body 56 to expose the opening 142 to the outside. Then, the stopper 40 is pressed against the rib 126, and the stopper 40 is released from the battery 30, and the battery 30 can be smoothly passed through the opening 142. Slide out inside.

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.
