Optionally, in the computer for supporting hot swapping of the present invention, the opening of each of the battery slots may not be disposed on the upper side of the computer main body, but on the back surface of the computer main body.

Optionally, in the computer for supporting hot swapping of the present invention, at least one battery cover is disposed outside the opening of each of the battery slots, and each of the battery covers can be opened or closed to enable each The battery cover can enclose the battery in each of the battery compartments in the closed position to protect the battery therein.

Optionally, in the computer for supporting the hot swapping of the battery, the inside of each of the battery slots is provided with an elastic component or a card body, etc., to provide a type of when the user inserts and removes the battery. Quick return mechanism.

Optionally, in the computer for hot-swapping battery support of the present invention, a hysteresis mechanism for inserting a battery is disposed inside each of the battery slots, for example, the battery slot has a specific shape or interior. The electrical contact terminals have specific positions and the like to limit the battery to be inserted into each of the battery slots from the correct direction to avoid accidental damage to the computer components or batteries.

In summary, it can be understood that this creation does provide a computer that can support hot swapping of batteries, which has multiple battery slots, allowing the user to directly replace the battery while the computer is continuously running, and provides several kinds of batteries. The mechanism for protecting the battery and battery compartment is an innovative computer mechanism setup.

1 is a schematic rear view of the battery cover of the first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing the state in which the battery cover of the first embodiment is opened; FIG. 3 is a state in which the battery cover of the first embodiment is opened. FIG. 4 is a schematic side view showing the closed state of the battery cover of the first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 5 is a schematic side view showing the closed state of the battery cover of the first embodiment; and FIG. 6 is the first implementation of the creation. A front view of the battery cover closed state.

The specific embodiments are described below to illustrate the implementation of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are diagrams showing the state in which the battery cover is opened in the first embodiment of the computer for supporting battery hot plugging. The computer of this embodiment is equipped with Intel Celeron, Core i3, Core i5. One of the core i7 computing platforms, please refer to Figure 1, which is the first implementation. The back view of the example, from the back of the computer main body 1, can see the overall back surface, in the figure can be seen that the upper side of the computer body 1 is provided with three battery slots, each battery slot is used to accommodate the battery, by The right to the left are the first battery cell 10, the second battery cell 11, and the third battery cell 12, and the opening of each of the battery cells (that is, the opening for inserting the battery) is opened toward the upper side of the computer main body 1; A first battery cover 101 connected to the computer main body 1 through the rotating shaft is disposed outside the battery cell 10, and a second battery cover 111 connected to the computer main body 1 through the rotating shaft is disposed outside the second battery slot 11. The third battery slot 12 is disposed. A third battery cover 121 connected to the computer main body 1 through the rotating shaft is disposed on the outer side, wherein the first battery cover 101, the second battery cover 111 and the third battery cover 121 operate from the upper side of the computer main body 1 toward the computer main body The back surface of the 1 is opened, so that the battery cover can be opened and dissipated along the rotating shaft.
