- the conventional battery has the following disadvantages.
- an assembling structure between the battery and the handheld seat makes them hard to be assembled, and a user may drop the battery during assembling due to the bad design of the assembling structure.
- two side surfaces of the battery form two grooves respectively. Each groove extends horizontally from a front end of the battery to a rear end of the battery, and forms an opening on the rear end of the battery.
- a bottom groove is formed on a bottom end of the handheld seat. Two inner side surfaces of the bottom groove form two ribs respectively.
- the user slides the ribs into the grooves and moves the ribs to a front end of the grooves to make the handheld seat and battery assembled firmly.
- the user in order to align the two front ends of the ribs to the openings of the grooves, the user has to align a corner of the handheld seat to a corner of the battery when moving them toward each other. Therefore, the assembling process is not easy to operate and the battery may be dropped easily due to an inappropriate direction of a force applied by the user.
- the handheld seat and the battery are mounted together by only two grooves and two ribs on two sides respectively. Therefore, when an impact occurs, the impact is borne by only one groove and one rib on each side such that the groove and the rib will be damaged easily. If any rib or any groove is damaged due to the impact or the inappropriate direction of the force applied by the user during assembling, the handheld seat and the battery will never be assembled again.
- the grooves which extend from the front end of the battery to the rear end of the battery, leads to high time-consumption because it takes time for the user to move the ribs from the rear ends of the grooves to the front ends of the grooves. This is against the main purpose of a tool, which is to increase efficiency.
- the battery when being recharged, the battery is placed on the shallow groove without fixing such that the battery will be easily separated from the conductive pins or the battery may fall from the charger after an impact. Both situations lead to failure of recharging and damage to the battery, and even short circuit and fire.

- the battery groove is formed on a top surface of the charger.
- the two first charger assembling segments are formed on two side walls of the battery groove toward each other.
- the battery is detachably mounted on the charger and has a casing.
- the casing has a connecting surface and two first grooves.
- the connecting surface is mounted in and is connected to the battery groove of the charger.
- the two first grooves are formed on two side surfaces of the casing respectively.
- Each of the first grooves has a transverse segment and a longitudinal segment. The transverse segment extends toward a front end of the casing and a rear end of the casing.
- a front end of the transverse segment is closed.
- the longitudinal segment extends toward a top end of the casing and a bottom end of the casing.
- the longitudinal segment is connected to and communicates with a rear end of the transverse segment, extends to the connecting surface of the casing, and forms a first opening on the connecting surface of the casing.
- the two first charger assembling segments of the charger are selectively mounted in the two transverse segments of the two first grooves of the casing respectively. Each of the first charger assembling segments enters or departs from the corresponding first groove through the corresponding first opening.
- the two first charger assembling segments of the charger are moved into the two longitudinal segments of the two first grooves through the two first openings respectively, and then are moved into the two transverse segments. Therefore, when being recharged, the battery is placed in the battery groove of the charger as well as the two first assembling segments on the two side walls of the battery groove are mounted together with the two first grooves, which are in L shape, on the two sides of the battery. Moreover, the first assembling segment and the first groove are not only engaged to each other but also prevent the battery and the charger from sliding relative to each other because the first assembling segment and the first groove generate friction between themselves. Therefore, the first assembling segment and the first groove make the battery and the charger assembled stably, prevent the battery and the charger from being separated easily by an impact, and further avoid damaging the battery and causing fire.
- the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment make it unnecessary for the first groove to extend from the front end of the battery to the rear end of the battery. Therefore, the first groove shortens the distance that the battery is moved and reduces the time for assembling the battery and the handheld seat or the battery and the charger. Furthermore, the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment avoid forming the first opening of the first groove on an end of the battery so that the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment further prevent the battery from being dropped due to the inappropriate direction of the force applied by the user during assembling.

Description
- The present invention relates to a tool, especially to a handheld power tool.
- A handheld power tool makes assembling or disassembling of objects easier and more effective. The handheld power tool uses a battery as a power source and is combined with a traditional hand tool such as a screwdriver or a drill so that people can use a handheld power tool instead of manually driving the hand tools.
- The abovementioned handheld power tool has a driving assembly, a handheld seat, and a battery. The battery is detachably mounted on a bottom end of the handheld seat as a power source to drive the driving assembly which is mounted on a top end of the handheld seat. Thus, by mounting a hand tool such as a screwdriver or a drill on the driving assembly, a user is able to drive the tool by electricity instead of driving the tool manually. In addition, for purposes of environmental protection, the battery can be detached from the handheld seat and be connected to a charger to be recharged when out of power. Specifically, a conventional charger has a shallow groove and multiple conductive pins. The battery is placed in the shallow groove and is connected to the conductive pins to be recharged.
- However, the conventional battery has the following disadvantages.
- First, an assembling structure between the battery and the handheld seat makes them hard to be assembled, and a user may drop the battery during assembling due to the bad design of the assembling structure. Specifically, two side surfaces of the battery form two grooves respectively. Each groove extends horizontally from a front end of the battery to a rear end of the battery, and forms an opening on the rear end of the battery. A bottom groove is formed on a bottom end of the handheld seat. Two inner side surfaces of the bottom groove form two ribs respectively. When assembling, the user must hold the handheld seat and the battery by two hands respectively, and align two front ends of the ribs to the openings of the grooves. Then, the user slides the ribs into the grooves and moves the ribs to a front end of the grooves to make the handheld seat and battery assembled firmly. However, in order to align the two front ends of the ribs to the openings of the grooves, the user has to align a corner of the handheld seat to a corner of the battery when moving them toward each other. Therefore, the assembling process is not easy to operate and the battery may be dropped easily due to an inappropriate direction of a force applied by the user.
- In addition, the handheld seat and the battery are mounted together by only two grooves and two ribs on two sides respectively. Therefore, when an impact occurs, the impact is borne by only one groove and one rib on each side such that the groove and the rib will be damaged easily. If any rib or any groove is damaged due to the impact or the inappropriate direction of the force applied by the user during assembling, the handheld seat and the battery will never be assembled again.
- Besides, the grooves, which extend from the front end of the battery to the rear end of the battery, leads to high time-consumption because it takes time for the user to move the ribs from the rear ends of the grooves to the front ends of the grooves. This is against the main purpose of a tool, which is to increase efficiency.
- Second, when being recharged, the battery is placed on the shallow groove without fixing such that the battery will be easily separated from the conductive pins or the battery may fall from the charger after an impact. Both situations lead to failure of recharging and damage to the battery, and even short circuit and fire.
- In summary, the assembling structures between the battery and the handheld seat and between the battery and the charger need to be improved.
- To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides an assembling structure for a battery of a handheld power tool to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the present invention is to provide an assembling structure for a battery of a handheld power tool that makes the handheld seat and the battery assembled easily and strengthens the structure after assembly to overcome the impact. Besides, the assembling structure makes the battery and the charger assembled stably as well so that the assembling structure prevents the battery and the charger from being separated easily, and further avoid damaging the battery and causing fire.
- The battery-and-charger assembling structure for a handheld power tool has a charger and a battery. The charger has a battery groove and two first charger assembling segments. The battery groove is formed on a top surface of the charger. The two first charger assembling segments are formed on two side walls of the battery groove toward each other. The battery is detachably mounted on the charger and has a casing. The casing has a connecting surface and two first grooves. The connecting surface is mounted in and is connected to the battery groove of the charger. The two first grooves are formed on two side surfaces of the casing respectively. Each of the first grooves has a transverse segment and a longitudinal segment. The transverse segment extends toward a front end of the casing and a rear end of the casing. A front end of the transverse segment is closed. The longitudinal segment extends toward a top end of the casing and a bottom end of the casing. The longitudinal segment is connected to and communicates with a rear end of the transverse segment, extends to the connecting surface of the casing, and forms a first opening on the connecting surface of the casing. The two first charger assembling segments of the charger are selectively mounted in the two transverse segments of the two first grooves of the casing respectively. Each of the first charger assembling segments enters or departs from the corresponding first groove through the corresponding first opening.
- When the battery is mounted on the charger and being recharged, the two first charger assembling segments of the charger are moved into the two longitudinal segments of the two first grooves through the two first openings respectively, and then are moved into the two transverse segments. Therefore, when being recharged, the battery is placed in the battery groove of the charger as well as the two first assembling segments on the two side walls of the battery groove are mounted together with the two first grooves, which are in L shape, on the two sides of the battery. Moreover, the first assembling segment and the first groove are not only engaged to each other but also prevent the battery and the charger from sliding relative to each other because the first assembling segment and the first groove generate friction between themselves. Therefore, the first assembling segment and the first groove make the battery and the charger assembled stably, prevent the battery and the charger from being separated easily by an impact, and further avoid damaging the battery and causing fire.
- In addition, the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment make it unnecessary for the first groove to extend from the front end of the battery to the rear end of the battery. Therefore, the first groove shortens the distance that the battery is moved and reduces the time for assembling the battery and the handheld seat or the battery and the charger. Furthermore, the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment avoid forming the first opening of the first groove on an end of the battery so that the transverse segment and the longitudinal segment further prevent the battery from being dropped due to the inappropriate direction of the force applied by the user during assembling.
- Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 9, 10, and 11 are schematic views of the battery-and-charger assembling structure inFIG. 7 , showing the motion during assembling of the battery and the charger. - With reference to
FIGS. 1, 2, and 7 , a battery-and-handheld-seat assembling structure for a handheld power tool in accordance with the present invention comprises ahandheld seat 10 and abattery 20. A battery-and-charger assembling structure for a handheld power tool in accordance with the present invention comprises abattery 20 and acharger 30. The basic structures of thebattery 20 in the two aforementioned assembling structures are the same, and so are their preferred embodiments, which will be descripted together as follows. - The
battery 20 has acasing 21. Thecasing 21 has a connecting surface, twofirst grooves 211, and twosecond grooves 212. - The two
first grooves 211 are formed on two side surfaces of thecasing 21 respectively. Each of thefirst grooves 211 has atransverse segment 2111 and alongitudinal segment 2112. Thetransverse segment 2111 extends toward a front end of thecasing 21 and a rear end of thecasing 21. A front end of thetransverse segment 2111 is closed and a rear end of thetransverse segment 2111 is connected to and communicates with thelongitudinal segment 2112. Thelongitudinal segment 2112 extends toward a top end of thecasing 21 and a bottom end of thecasing 21, extends to the connecting surface of thecasing 21, and forms afirst opening 2113 on the connecting surface of thecasing 21. In other words, thefirst groove 211 is a groove in an L shape formed on thecasing 21. - The two
second grooves 212 are formed on the two side surfaces of thecasing 21, are located in the back of the twofirst grooves 211, and are spaced apart from the twofirst grooves 211 respectively. Each of thesecond grooves 212 extends to a rear surface of thecasing 21, and forms asecond opening 2121 on the rear surface of thecasing 21. - With further reference to
FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 , when in use, thebattery 20 is mounted on thehandheld seat 10. Thehandheld seat 10 has two assemblingwalls 11, twofirst assembling segments 12, and twosecond assembling segments 13. - The two assembling
walls 11 protrude downwardly from a bottom surface of thehandheld seat 10. The two assemblingwalls 11 are, but not limited to, parallel to each other. The two assemblingwalls 11 are spaced apart from each other. The twofirst assembling segments 12 are respectively formed on the two assemblingwalls 11 toward each other. The twosecond assembling segments 13 are respectively formed on the two assemblingwalls 11 toward each other, are located in the back of the twofirst assembling segments 12, and are spaced apart from the twofirst assembling segments 12. - With further reference to
FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 , thebattery 20 is mounted on thehandheld seat 10 detachably, and the connecting surface of thebattery 20 is connected to the bottom surface of thehandheld seat 10 when thebattery 20 is mounted on thehandheld seat 10. - The two
first assembling segments 12 of thehandheld seat 10 are selectively mounted in the twotransverse segments 2111 of the twofirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 respectively. Each of thefirst assembling segments 12 enters or departs from the correspondingfirst groove 211 through the corresponding first opening 2213. The twosecond assembling segments 13 of thehandheld seat 10 are selectively mounted in the twosecond grooves 212 of thecasing 21 respectively. Each of thesecond assembling segments 13 enters or departs from the correspondingsecond groove 212 through the correspondingsecond opening 2121. - In other words, during assembling, the
first assembling segment 12 is moved through thefirst opening 2113 first, and is then moved along thefirst groove 211, which is in an L shape. When thefirst assembling segment 12 is moved to a bottom end of thelongitudinal segment 2112, thesecond assembling segment 13 of thehandheld seat 10 is exactly located in a rear side of thesecond opening 2121, which is formed on the rear surface of thecasing 21 by thesecond groove 212. At the time that thefirst assembling segment 12 is moved toward the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 along thetransverse segment 2111, thesecond assembling segment 13 is moved into thesecond groove 212 through thesecond opening 2121. Finally, thefirst assembling segment 12 is moved to the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 as thesecond assembling segment 13 is moved to a front end of thesecond groove 212, and the assembling process of thehandheld seat 10 and thebattery 20 is completed. - Briefly, when each of the
first assembling segments 12 of thehandheld seat 10 engages with the correspondingfirst groove 211 through the correspondingfirst opening 2113, each of thesecond assembling segments 13 is aligned to thesecond opening 2121 of the correspondingsecond groove 212; when each of thefirst assembling segments 12 is moved into thetransverse segment 2111 of thefirst groove 211, each of thesecond assembling segments 13 is moved into thesecond groove 212. - In addition, the
second assembling segment 13 and thesecond groove 212 are made to strengthen the structure of thehandheld seat 10 and thebattery 20 after assembled. Specifically, the twosecond assembling segments 13 and the twosecond grooves 212 share a force of an impact with the twofirst assembling segments 12 and the twofirst grooves 211 on the two sides of thecasing 21 respectively in order to prevent thefirst assembling segment 12 and thefirst groove 211 from bearing the force of the impact alone, and therefore strengthen the product. However, thehandheld seat 10 and thebattery 20 can also be implemented without thesecond assembling segment 13 and thesecond groove 212. - Moreover, in this embodiment, the
transverse segment 2111 of each of thefirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 is located adjacent to the connecting surface of thecasing 21, and thelongitudinal segment 2112 of each of thefirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 is located adjacent to a middle between a front end of thecasing 21 and a rear end of thecasing 21. By this, the present invention significantly shortens the distance for thefirst assembling segment 12 to move. Thus, the present invention improves efficiency as well. However, thetransverse segment 2111 is not limited to be located adjacent to the connecting surface as well as thelongitudinal segment 2112 is not limited to be located adjacent to the middle between the front end of thecasing 21 and the rear end of thecasing 21. - When assembling the
battery 20 and thehandheld seat 10, the user makes the connecting surface of thebattery 20 face to the bottom surface of thehandheld seat 10, and moves thebattery 20 toward thehandheld seat 10. After thefirst assembling segment 12 of thehandheld seat 10 is moved to the rear end of thetransverse segment 2111 of thefirst groove 211 through thefirst opening 2113 along thelongitudinal segment 2112, the user moves thebattery 20 and thehandheld seat 10 relative to each other along thetransverse segment 2111 and then completes the assembling process. - The user abuts a surface against another surface instead of abutting a corner against another corner, thereby eliminating the possibility of causing an inappropriate direction of force. Therefore, the abovementioned assembling process prevents the battery from falling from the user's hand and is more convenient to operate.
- In addition, the
transverse segment 2111 and thelongitudinal segment 2112 make it unnecessary for thefirst groove 211 to extend from the front end of thebattery 20 to the rear end of thebattery 20. Therefore, thefirst groove 211 shortens the distance that thebattery 20 is moved and reduces the time for assembling thebattery 20 and thehandheld seat 10. Furthermore, thesecond assembling segment 13 and thesecond groove 212 strengthen the structure of thehandheld seat 10 and thebattery 20 after assembled by sharing the force of the impact with the twofirst assembling segments 12 and the twofirst grooves 211 on the two sides of thecasing 21 respectively, and therefore strengthen the product. - With further reference to
FIGS. 1, 7, and 8 , when thebattery 20 is out of power, thebattery 20 can be detached from thehandheld seat 10 and be connected to thecharger 30 to recharge. - The
charger 30 has abattery groove 31 formed on a top surface of thecharger 30. Thebattery groove 31 has two firstcharger assembling segments 32 and two secondcharger assembling segments 33. The two firstcharger assembling segments 32 are formed on two side walls of thebattery groove 31 respectively toward each other. The two secondcharger assembling segments 33 are respectively formed on the two side walls of thebattery groove 31 toward each other, are located in the back of the two firstcharger assembling segments 32, and are spaced apart from the two firstcharger assembling segments 32. - With further reference to
FIGS. 9 to 11 , thebattery 20 is mounted on thehandheld seat 10 detachably, and the connecting surface of thebattery 20 is mounted in and is connected to thebattery groove 31 of thecharger 30 when thebattery 20 is mounted on thecharger 30. - The two first
charger assembling segments 32 of thecharger 30 are selectively mounted in the twotransverse segments 2111 of the twofirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 respectively. Each of the firstcharger assembling segments 32 enters or departs from the correspondingfirst groove 211 through the correspondingfirst opening 2113. The two secondcharger assembling segments 33 are selectively mounted in the twosecond grooves 212 of thecasing 21 respectively. Each of the secondcharger assembling segments 33 enters or departs from the correspondingsecond groove 212 through the correspondingsecond opening 2121. - In other words, during assembling, the first
charger assembling segment 32 is moved through thefirst opening 2113 first, and is then moved along thefirst groove 211, which is in an L shape. When the firstcharger assembling segment 32 is moved to the bottom end of thelongitudinal segment 2112, the secondcharger assembling segment 33 of thecharger 30 is exactly located in the rear side of thesecond opening 2121, which is formed on the rear surface of thecasing 21 by thesecond groove 212. At the time when the firstcharger assembling segment 32 is moved toward the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 along thetransverse segment 2111, the secondcharger assembling segment 33 is moved into thesecond groove 212 through thesecond opening 2121. Finally, the firstcharger assembling segment 32 is moved to the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 as the secondcharger assembling segment 33 is moved to the front end of thesecond groove 212, and the assembling process of thecharger 30 and thebattery 20 is completed. - Briefly, when each of the first
charger assembling segments 32 of thecharger 30 engages with the correspondingfirst groove 2111 through the correspondingfirst opening 2113, each of the secondcharger assembling segments 32 is aligned to thesecond opening 2113 of the correspondingsecond groove 212. When each of the firstcharger assembling segments 32 is moved into thetransverse segment 2111 of thefirst groove 211, each of the secondcharger assembling segments 33 is moved into thesecond groove 212. - Besides, in this embodiment, the
battery groove 31 of thecharger 30 further has afront end 311 and arear end 312. Thefront end 311 is to accommodate the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 of thebattery 20, and therear end 312 is to accommodate the rear end of thetransverse segment 2111 of thebattery 20. When thecharger 30 is placed horizontally, therear end 312 inclines downwards relative to thefront end 311 so that thebattery 20 inclines when thebattery 20 is mounted on the horizontally-placedcharger 30. In other words, a height above ground level of therear end 312 of thecharger 30 is lower than a height above ground level of thefront end 311 of thecharger 30. Thus, thebattery 20 tends to slide downward toward therear end 312. By this, the firstcharger assembling segment 32 and the secondcharger assembling segment 33 will be mounted in the front end of thetransverse segment 2111 of thefirst groove 211 and the front end of thesecond groove 212 respectively by the gravity. Therefore, thebattery 20 and thecharger 30 are prevented from sliding relative to each other and detaching easily. - The structure of the
battery 20 is not limited to the abovementioned, as long as thefront end 311 and therear end 312 can be implemented on a same height above ground level, which means that thebattery groove 31 can be implemented horizontally. Thus, thebattery 20 is placed horizontally when mounted on the horizontally-placedcharger 30. In this case, thefirst groove 211 of thebattery 20 and the firstcharger assembling segment 32 of thecharger 30 can be fitted tightly in order to prevent relative sliding and detaching, or thefirst groove 211 and the firstcharger assembling segment 32 comprise a bump and a groove engaging with each other. - In addition, the second
charger assembling segment 33 and thesecond groove 212 are made to strengthen the structure of thecharger 30 and thebattery 20 after assembled. Specifically, the two secondcharger assembling segment 33 and the twosecond grooves 212 share the force of the impact with the two firstcharger assembling segments 32 and the twofirst grooves 211 on the two sides of thecasing 21 respectively in order to prevent the firstcharger assembling segment 32 and thefirst groove 211 from bearing the force of the impact alone, and therefore strengthen the product. However, thecharger 30 and thebattery 20 can also be implemented without the secondcharger assembling segment 33 and thesecond groove 212. - Moreover, in this embodiment, the
transverse segment 2111 of each of thefirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 is located adjacent to the connecting surface of thecasing 21, and thelongitudinal segment 2112 of each of thefirst grooves 211 of thecasing 21 is located adjacent to a middle between a front end of thecasing 21 and a rear end of thecasing 21. By this, the present invention significantly shortens the distance for the firstcharger assembling segment 32 to move. Thus, the present invention improves efficiency as well. However, thetransverse segment 2111 is not limited to be located adjacent to the connecting surface as well as thelongitudinal segment 2112 is not limited to be located adjacent to the middle between the front end of thecasing 21 and the rear end of thecasing 21. - The structure that the first
charger assembling segment 32 engages with thefirst groove 211 makes thebattery 20 mounted on thecharger 30 stably and prevents thebattery 20 and thecharger 30 from being detached easily, thereby further avoiding recharging failure and fire. - In addition, the
transverse segment 2111 and thelongitudinal segment 2112 make it unnecessary for thefirst groove 211 to extend from the front end of thebattery 20 to the rear end of thebattery 20. Therefore, thefirst groove 211 shortens the distance that thebattery 20 is moved and reduces the time for assembling thebattery 20 and thehandheld seat 10. Furthermore, thesecond assembling segment 13 and thesecond groove 212 strengthen the structure of thehandheld seat 10 and thebattery 20 after assembled by sharing the force of the impact with the twofirst assembling segments 12 and the twofirst grooves 211 on the two sides of thecasing 21 respectively, and therefore strengthen the product. - Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
