Description

本発明は、乾電池を収容する電池収容部を備えた電池収容装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a battery housing device including a battery housing portion that houses a dry battery.

従来、電子機器の電源として乾電池が使用されている。乾電池は複数本を直列又は並列接続することで所望の電圧の電力が得られる。このことから、複数の乾電池を電子機器に設けられた電池収容装置にて直列又は並列接続したり、電子機器とは別体の電池収容装置にて直列又は並列接続し、この電池収容装置を電子機器に設けられた収容部に収容したりして所望の電力を得ている。
例えば、特許文献1の電池収容装置は、電池が一列あたり複数個並べて収容される収容部に、各電池間を仕切る仕切り部及び中間電極が設けられているものである。仕切り部を設けることによって各乾電池を強固に保持し、かかる電池収容装置を備えた電子機器を落下させたり、ぶつけたりした場合、その衝撃で電池が収容部から飛び出してしまうのを防ぐようにしている。
Conventionally, dry batteries have been used as power sources for electronic devices. The dry battery can obtain a desired voltage of power by connecting a plurality of batteries in series or in parallel. For this reason, a plurality of dry batteries are connected in series or in parallel in a battery housing device provided in the electronic device, or are connected in series or in parallel in a battery housing device separate from the electronic device. The desired power is obtained by being housed in a housing provided in the device.
For example, the battery accommodating device of Patent Document 1 is provided with a partition part and an intermediate electrode for partitioning each battery in an accommodating part in which a plurality of batteries are arranged and accommodated per row. By providing a partition part, each dry battery is firmly held, and when an electronic device equipped with such a battery storage device is dropped or bumped, the battery is prevented from jumping out of the storage part due to the impact. Yes.

実開平2−129668号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-129668

しかしながら、上記特許文献1の従来技術では、収容部のプラス電極とマイナス電極との間でプラス端子とマイナス端子の2点で各乾電池を支持している。そのため、落下させたり、ぶつけたりした場合の電池長さ方向の衝撃及び振動の殆ど全ては、収容部側の電極を介して乾電池のプラス端子とマイナス端子とにかかる。特に、突出した構成のプラス端子は平坦な構成のマイナス端子よりも電池長さ方向の衝撃に弱く、突出部分が陥没するなどの破損が生じる場合があった。
そこで、本発明は、このような問題点に着目してなされたものであって、乾電池の長さ方向の衝撃及び振動に対して乾電池のプラス端子を保護することが可能な電池収容装置を提供することを課題とする。
However, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1, each dry battery is supported at two points, a plus terminal and a minus terminal, between the plus electrode and the minus electrode of the housing portion. Therefore, almost all of the impact and vibration in the battery length direction when dropped or bumped are applied to the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the dry battery through the electrode on the housing portion side. In particular, the protruding plus terminal is less susceptible to impact in the battery length direction than the flat minus terminal, and there are cases in which the protruding portion is damaged.
Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and provides a battery housing device capable of protecting a positive terminal of a dry battery against impact and vibration in the length direction of the dry battery. The task is to do.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の第1の態様に係る電池収容装置は、乾電池を収容する電池収容部と、前記電池収容部の内側における前記乾電池のプラス端子と対向する部位に設けられ、当該プラス端子と接触するプラス電極と、前記電池収容部の内側における前記乾電池のマイナス端子と対向する部位に設けられ、当該マイナス端子と接触するマイナス電極と、を備える。更に、前記電池収容部は、前記プラス端子と対向する部位に設けられた、前記乾電池の前記プラス端子を収容する凹部と、前記凹部の周囲に形成された、前記乾電池の前記プラス端子の周囲の端面と当接する支持面と、を備える。   In order to solve the above-described problem, a battery housing device according to a first aspect of the present invention is provided in a battery housing portion that houses a dry battery, and a portion facing the plus terminal of the dry battery inside the battery housing portion. A positive electrode that comes into contact with the positive terminal, and a negative electrode that is provided in a portion facing the negative terminal of the dry battery inside the battery housing portion and contacts the negative terminal. Further, the battery housing portion is provided in a portion facing the plus terminal, a recess for housing the plus terminal of the dry battery, and a periphery of the plus terminal of the dry battery formed around the recess. A support surface that contacts the end surface.

本発明によれば、電池収容部のプラス電極の取付位置に、乾電池のプラス端子を収容する凹部を設け且つ凹部の周囲に乾電池のプラス端子の周囲の端面と当接する支持面を形成した。これによって、乾電池の収容時に、そのプラス端子を凹部の奥行き方向の突き当たりの面に衝突しない状態で収容することが可能であると共に、凹部の周囲の面にて乾電池のプラス端子の周囲の端面を支持することが可能である。その結果、乾電池のプラス端子へと乾電池の長さ方向の衝撃や振動の殆どが直接伝わるのを防ぐことが可能となり、乾電池の長さ方向の衝撃や振動からプラス端子を保護することが可能となる。   According to the present invention, the concave portion that accommodates the positive terminal of the dry battery is provided at the attachment position of the positive electrode of the battery accommodating portion, and the support surface that contacts the end surface of the positive terminal of the dry battery is formed around the concave portion. As a result, when the dry battery is accommodated, the positive terminal can be accommodated without colliding with the contact surface in the depth direction of the concave portion, and the end surface around the positive terminal of the dry cell can be formed on the peripheral surface of the concave portion. It is possible to support. As a result, it is possible to prevent most of the impact and vibration in the length direction of the dry battery from being directly transmitted to the positive terminal of the dry cell, and it is possible to protect the positive terminal from the impact and vibration in the length direction of the dry cell. Become.

また、本実施形態において、図示省略するが、マイナス電極21及びプラス電極24は電気的に接続されている。即ち、本実施形態の電池収容装置1は、電池室10a及び10bに収容した2本の乾電池を直列接続する構成となっている。
また、図示省略するが、内壁部14ibの背面側の外壁部14ebには、マイナス電極23と導通する端子板(図示略)が設けられている。この端子板は外部端子(−)としての役割を有している。
In the present embodiment, although not shown, the minus electrode 21 and the plus electrode 24 are electrically connected. That is, the battery accommodating device 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which two dry batteries accommodated in the battery chambers 10a and 10b are connected in series.
Although not shown, a terminal plate (not shown) that is electrically connected to the negative electrode 23 is provided on the outer wall 14eb on the back side of the inner wall 14ib. This terminal board has a role as an external terminal (-).

また、プラス電極22は、図2及び図4(a)に示すように、略U字状に折曲げられて取り付けられている。具体的に、凹部12の下部に設けられた貫通孔18(図4(a)参照)を介して内壁部14iaから背面側の外壁部14eaに亘って延在するように取り付けられている。そして、プラス電極22の内壁部14ia側の部分である電極部22aは乾電池のプラス端子と直接接触する部分である。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4A, the plus electrode 22 is bent and attached in a substantially U shape. Specifically, it is attached so as to extend from the inner wall portion 14ia to the outer wall portion 14ea on the back side through a through hole 18 (see FIG. 4A) provided in the lower portion of the concave portion 12. And the electrode part 22a which is a part by the side of the inner wall part 14ia of the plus electrode 22 is a part which contacts the plus terminal of a dry cell directly.

一方、凹部12は、図4(a)〜(c)に示すように、電池室10aを構成する内壁部14iaの幅方向の中央に形成された下凹部121と、下凹部121の上部に連通して形成された上凹部122とを備えている。以下、凹部12及び13の奥行き方向の突き当たりの面を「奥面」と称する。
下凹部121は、上端から下端に向かって幅方向にやや末広がりとなる平面視略台形状に凹む凹部から構成されており、この凹部の内壁となる傾斜壁部121a及び121bを備えている。更に、下凹部121の奥面の下部中央には、上方から下方に向かうに連れて奥側に傾斜する傾斜部121cが形成されている。
On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the recess 12 communicates with a lower recess 121 formed in the center in the width direction of the inner wall portion 14ia constituting the battery chamber 10a and an upper portion of the lower recess 121. And an upper recess 122 formed as described above. Hereinafter, the contact surface in the depth direction of the recesses 12 and 13 is referred to as a “back surface”.
The lower recessed portion 121 is configured by a recessed portion that is recessed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in plan view that slightly expands in the width direction from the upper end to the lower end, and includes inclined wall portions 121a and 121b that serve as inner walls of the recessed portion. Furthermore, an inclined portion 121c is formed at the lower center of the back surface of the lower recessed portion 121. The inclined portion 121c is inclined toward the back side from the top to the bottom.

上凹部122は、下部側が下端(下凹部121の上端)から上方に向かって幅方向に末広がりとなる平面視で略台形状に凹む凹部から形成されている。加えて、上部側が下部側の上端の幅の辺を有する平面視で略矩形状に凹む凹部から構成されている。上凹部122は、下部側の内壁を形成する傾斜壁部122a及び122cと、上部側の内壁を形成する側壁部122b及び122dとを備えている。更に、上凹部122は、内壁部14iaの上端まで凹みが形成されており、上部が開放された状態となっている。なお更に、本実施形態において、上凹部122の幅Lは、乾電池の取り出しを考慮して、収容する乾電池のマイナス端子の直径よりも短く、且つ一般的な成人男性の親指の爪先が入る程度の幅に構成されている。   The upper concave portion 122 is formed of a concave portion that is recessed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in a plan view in which the lower side expands from the lower end (the upper end of the lower concave portion 121) upward in the width direction. In addition, the upper side is composed of a concave portion that is recessed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view having a side of the width of the upper end on the lower side. The upper concave portion 122 includes inclined wall portions 122a and 122c that form the inner wall on the lower side, and side wall portions 122b and 122d that form the inner wall on the upper side. Further, the upper concave portion 122 is formed with a recess up to the upper end of the inner wall portion 14ia, and the upper portion is open. Still further, in the present embodiment, the width L of the upper recess 122 is shorter than the diameter of the negative terminal of the battery to be accommodated in consideration of the removal of the battery, and the thumb tip of a general adult male is included. Configured to width.

上凹部122の奥面には、略中央位置に、プラス電極22の上端部を隠すための平面視で略矩形状に開口する貫通孔122eが形成されている。
また、本実施形態において、下凹部121と上凹部122の凹みの奥行きは同一且つ均一に形成されており、少なくとも収容する乾電池のプラス端子の長さ以上の深さ(例えば、単三の乾電池で約2.5[mm])に構成されている。加えて、凹部12の幅は、最小となる下凹部121の上端部でも収容する乾電池のプラス端子の直径よりも長く、且つ最大となる上凹部122の上部側でも収容する乾電池の直径よりも短い寸法に構成されている。
A through hole 122e that opens in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view for concealing the upper end portion of the plus electrode 22 is formed in the back surface of the upper recess 122 at a substantially central position.
Further, in the present embodiment, the depths of the recesses of the lower recess 121 and the upper recess 122 are the same and uniform, and at least a depth greater than the length of the plus terminal of the battery to be accommodated (for example, an AA dry battery). About 2.5 [mm]). In addition, the width of the concave portion 12 is longer than the diameter of the positive terminal of the dry battery accommodated even at the upper end portion of the lower concave portion 121 which is the smallest, and shorter than the diameter of the dry battery accommodated also above the upper portion of the upper concave portion 122 which is the largest. Configured to dimensions.

なお、上凹部122の奥面側も傾斜壁部122a及び122cと同様に、漏斗状となるように裾しぼみ形状を加えてもよい。その場合、上凹部122の幅Lは、収容する乾電池の直径よりも短い寸法にこだわる必要がなくなる。その理由は、この構成であれば、後述する乾電池を誤って逆向きに収容した逆接続の場合でも、乾電池のマイナス端子は内壁部14iaと接触するので、凹部12及び13内のプラス電極22及び24と接触することは無いからである。
また、内壁部14iaの凹部12の周囲の部分は平坦な面に形成されており、この面は、電池室10aに乾電池を収容した時にそのプラス端子の周囲の端面と当接して乾電池のプラス端子側を支持する役割を有している。以下、この面を「支持面14s」と称する場合がある。
It should be noted that the back surface side of the upper concave portion 122 may also have a hem-indented shape so as to have a funnel shape, similar to the inclined wall portions 122a and 122c. In that case, the width L of the upper concave portion 122 does not need to stick to a dimension shorter than the diameter of the dry battery to be accommodated. The reason for this is that, with this configuration, the negative terminal of the dry battery contacts the inner wall portion 14ia even in the case of reverse connection in which the dry battery described later is housed in the reverse direction, so the positive electrode 22 in the recesses 12 and 13 and This is because there is no contact with 24.
Further, a portion around the recess 12 of the inner wall portion 14ia is formed as a flat surface, and this surface comes into contact with an end surface around the plus terminal when the dry cell is accommodated in the battery chamber 10a, and the plus terminal of the dry cell. Has a role to support the side. Hereinafter, this surface may be referred to as “support surface 14s”.

また、図4(a)に示すように、プラス電極22の電極部22aは、凹部12の内側に収容されている。具体的に、電極部22aは、凹部12内にて、下凹部121の奥側の下端から上凹部122の手前側に向かって所定の傾斜角度で斜め上方に起立した姿勢で配設された構成となっている。
ここで、電極部22aの傾斜角度及び長さは、電池室10aに乾電池を収容した時にプラス端子が電極部22aを凹部12の奥側へと押して両者が導通可能に接触した状態となり且つこの状態で電極部22aが凹部12の奥面に接触しない状態となる傾斜角度及び長さに構成されている。このとき、電極部22aは、乾電池のプラス端子に押されることで傾斜角度が小さくなる方向に弾性変形し、その弾性力によって乾電池のプラス端子に自身を押し当てる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the electrode portion 22 a of the plus electrode 22 is accommodated inside the recess 12. Specifically, the electrode portion 22a is disposed in the recessed portion 12 in a posture in which the electrode portion 22a stands obliquely upward at a predetermined inclination angle from the lower end on the back side of the lower recessed portion 121 toward the front side of the upper recessed portion 122. It has become.
Here, the inclination angle and length of the electrode portion 22a are such that when the dry battery is accommodated in the battery chamber 10a, the positive terminal pushes the electrode portion 22a toward the back side of the recess 12 so that both are in contact with each other in a conductive state. Thus, the electrode portion 22a is configured to have an inclination angle and a length such that the electrode portion 22a does not contact the back surface of the recess 12. At this time, the electrode portion 22a is elastically deformed in a direction in which the inclination angle is reduced by being pushed by the plus terminal of the dry battery, and presses itself against the plus terminal of the dry battery by the elastic force.

加えて、電極部22aの傾斜角度及び長さは、乾電池の未収容時に、電極部22aの全体が凹部12の入口よりも奥側に引っ込んだ状態(例えば、0.5[mm]程度、奥側に引っ込んだ状態)となる傾斜角度及び長さに構成されている。
更に、電極部22aの上端部22Tは、凹部12の奥側に向かって湾曲した構成となっている。そして、乾電池の未収容時に上端部22Tの先端部は貫通孔122eの内側に入った状態に構成されている。即ち、乾電池の収容時はプラス端子によって電極部22aが押されて上端部22Tが上凹部122の奥面等に当接することなく貫通孔122eの奥へと入り込むようになっている。また、本実施形態において、貫通孔122eは、上端部22Tの入り込む長さよりも深く構成されている。
In addition, the inclination angle and length of the electrode portion 22a are such that when the dry battery is not accommodated, the entire electrode portion 22a is retracted deeper than the entrance of the recess 12 (for example, about 0.5 mm) The tilt angle and the length are such that they are retracted to the side).
Furthermore, the upper end portion 22T of the electrode portion 22a is configured to be curved toward the back side of the recess 12. And when the dry cell is not accommodated, the tip of the upper end 22T is configured to enter the inside of the through hole 122e. In other words, when the dry battery is accommodated, the electrode portion 22a is pushed by the plus terminal, and the upper end portion 22T enters the depth of the through hole 122e without contacting the inner surface of the upper recess 122 or the like. In the present embodiment, the through hole 122e is configured deeper than the length into which the upper end portion 22T enters.

ここで、電池室10bの凹部13、内壁部15ib及びプラス電極24については、電池室10aの凹部12、内壁部14ia及びプラス電極22の電極部22aと同様の構成となるので説明を省略する。即ち、電池室10bの凹部13側の構成としては、図4(a)〜(c)の12で始まる符号を13に、14で始まる符号を15に、22で始まる符号を24に置き換えたものと略同一となる。但し、短壁部15側は外部端子が不要となるので、プラス電極24は略U字状に折曲げる必要がなく且つマイナス電極21と電気的に接続されるため一部構成が異なる(図示略)。また、マイナス電極21についても外部端子との接続が不要となり且つプラス電極24と電気的に接続されるため一部構成が異なる(図示略)。   Here, the concave portion 13, the inner wall portion 15ib and the positive electrode 24 of the battery chamber 10b have the same configuration as the concave portion 12, the inner wall portion 14ia and the electrode portion 22a of the positive electrode 22 of the battery chamber 10a, and thus description thereof is omitted. That is, the configuration of the battery chamber 10b on the side of the recess 13 is obtained by replacing the reference numeral starting with 12 in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C with 13, the reference numeral starting with 14, and the reference numeral starting with 22 with 24. Is almost the same. However, since the external terminal is not required on the short wall portion 15 side, the plus electrode 24 does not need to be bent in a substantially U shape and is electrically connected to the minus electrode 21, so that a part of the configuration is different (not shown). ). Further, the minus electrode 21 does not need to be connected to an external terminal and is electrically connected to the plus electrode 24, so that a part of the structure is different (not shown).

次に、上記構成の電池収容装置1に、乾電池を収容したときの各部の作用について説明する。
図5(a)に示すように、電池収容装置1には、電池室10aに乾電池B1が、電池室10bに乾電池B2が正常な向きで収容されている。乾電池B1は、長手方向の一端側に突状のプラス端子P1を有し、他端側に平坦な円盤状のマイナス端子M1を有する。乾電池B2は、長手方向の一端側に突状のプラス端子P2を有し、他端側に平坦な円盤状のマイナス端子M2を有する。
正常な向きで収容された状態では、乾電池B1のプラス端子P1はプラス電極22と接触し、マイナス端子M1はマイナス電極21と接触した状態となっている。加えて、乾電池B2のプラス端子P2はプラス電極24と接触し、マイナス端子M2はマイナス電極23と接触した状態となっている。
Next, the operation of each part when a dry cell is accommodated in the battery accommodating device 1 having the above configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5A, in the battery accommodating device 1, the dry battery B1 is accommodated in the battery chamber 10a, and the dry battery B2 is accommodated in the battery chamber 10b in a normal direction. The dry cell B1 has a protruding plus terminal P1 on one end side in the longitudinal direction and a flat disk-like minus terminal M1 on the other end side. The dry battery B2 has a projecting plus terminal P2 on one end side in the longitudinal direction and a flat disk-like minus terminal M2 on the other end side.
In the state of being accommodated in a normal orientation, the plus terminal P1 of the dry battery B1 is in contact with the plus electrode 22 and the minus terminal M1 is in contact with the minus electrode 21. In addition, the plus terminal P2 of the dry battery B2 is in contact with the plus electrode 24, and the minus terminal M2 is in contact with the minus electrode 23.

そして、プラス電極24とマイナス電極21とは電気的に接続されているため、乾電池B1及びB2は直列接続された状態となる。この状態で、外部端子(+)及び外部端子(−)を電子機器の電源回路のプラス端子及びマイナス端子に直接又は電機ケーブルを介して接触させることで電子機器に電力を供給することが可能となっている。ここで、プラス電極22の外壁部14ea側の部分である端子部22bは外部端子(+)としての役割を有し、本実施形態では熱カシメによって固定されている。そのため、端子部22bには、熱カシメ用の突起部を挿通する貫通孔22h(図4(a)参照)が設けられている。   Since the plus electrode 24 and the minus electrode 21 are electrically connected, the dry batteries B1 and B2 are connected in series. In this state, it is possible to supply power to the electronic device by bringing the external terminal (+) and the external terminal (-) into contact with the plus terminal and the minus terminal of the power supply circuit of the electronic device directly or via an electric cable. It has become. Here, the terminal portion 22b which is a portion of the plus electrode 22 on the outer wall portion 14ea side has a role as an external terminal (+), and is fixed by heat caulking in this embodiment. Therefore, the terminal portion 22b is provided with a through hole 22h (see FIG. 4A) through which the thermal caulking protrusion is inserted.

また、乾電池B1が収容されると、図5(a)及び(b)に示すように、プラス端子P1が凹部12内に収容された状態になる。加えて、乾電池B1のプラス端子P1の周囲の端面である肩部S1が内壁部14iaの凹部12の周囲の支持面14sと当接した状態になる。なお、乾電池のプラス極の凸電極以外の蓋部分を「肩部」と称している。
ここで、乾電池B1の収容時においてプラス端子P1は、図5(b)に示すように、プラス電極22と接触してその電極部22aを凹部12の奥側へと押し込む。このとき、電極部22aの上端部22Tは、乾電池B1の収容前においては貫通孔122eの天井部122ecによって上方側から隠れた状態となっているが、乾電池B1の収容により更に貫通孔122eの奥へと入り込む。
When the dry battery B1 is accommodated, the plus terminal P1 is accommodated in the recess 12 as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). In addition, the shoulder S1, which is the end surface around the plus terminal P1 of the dry battery B1, is in contact with the support surface 14s around the recess 12 of the inner wall portion 14ia. The lid portion other than the positive electrode of the dry battery is referred to as a “shoulder”.
Here, when the dry battery B1 is accommodated, the plus terminal P1 comes into contact with the plus electrode 22 and pushes the electrode portion 22a into the back side of the recess 12 as shown in FIG. At this time, the upper end portion 22T of the electrode portion 22a is hidden from the upper side by the ceiling portion 122ec of the through hole 122e before the dry battery B1 is accommodated. Get into.

更に、乾電池B1の収容後において、電極部22aの上端部22Tよりも下方の凹部12の奥面と最接近する部位と奥面との間には隙間d1が形成された状態となる。この状態では、プラス電極22とマイナス電極21の付勢力は、マイナス電極21の付勢力の方が強いため、乾電池B1の肩部S1が支持面14sと当接した状態になっており、プラス端子P1は、これ以上凹部12の奥側へと移動できない状態となっている。即ち、乾電池B1は、電池収容部10の電池室10aのマイナス電極21側の面及び支持面14sの2面で支持された状態となっている。加えて、上凹部122の幅Lは乾電池のプラス端子の直径よりも長い寸法に構成されているため、プラス端子P1には電極部22aからの弾性力以外の力がかからない状態となっている。
以上説明した作用については、乾電池B2の収容された電池室10b側についても同様となるため、電池室10b側については説明を省略する。
Further, after the dry battery B1 is accommodated, a gap d1 is formed between the inner surface and the portion closest to the inner surface of the recess 12 below the upper end 22T of the electrode portion 22a. In this state, since the biasing force of the plus electrode 22 and the minus electrode 21 is stronger than the biasing force of the minus electrode 21, the shoulder S1 of the dry battery B1 is in contact with the support surface 14s, and the plus terminal P1 is in a state where it can no longer move to the back side of the recess 12. That is, the dry battery B1 is in a state of being supported by the two surfaces of the negative electrode 21 side and the support surface 14s of the battery chamber 10a of the battery housing portion 10. In addition, since the width L of the upper concave portion 122 is configured to be longer than the diameter of the positive terminal of the dry battery, the positive terminal P1 is in a state where no force other than the elastic force from the electrode portion 22a is applied.
About the effect | action demonstrated above, since it becomes the same also about the battery chamber 10b side in which dry battery B2 was accommodated, description is abbreviate | omitted about the battery chamber 10b side.

次に、上記構成の電池収容装置1の電池室10aに乾電池を逆方向に収容した場合の凹部12の作用について説明する。
図6(a)に示すように、電池収容装置1には、電池室10aに乾電池B1が逆向きに収容され、電池室10bに乾電池B2が正常な向きで収容されている。
ここで、電池室10bの下凹部121の上端部の幅寸法は、乾電池B1のプラス端子P1の凸電極が収まる幅寸法で作成されているため、乾電池B1のマイナス端子M1は内壁部14iaに阻まれる。
Next, the operation of the recess 12 when a dry cell is accommodated in the reverse direction in the battery chamber 10a of the battery accommodating device 1 having the above configuration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6A, in the battery accommodating device 1, the dry battery B1 is accommodated in the battery chamber 10a in the reverse direction, and the dry battery B2 is accommodated in the battery chamber 10b in the normal direction.
Here, since the width dimension of the upper end portion of the lower recessed portion 121 of the battery chamber 10b is formed so as to fit the convex electrode of the plus terminal P1 of the dry cell B1, the minus terminal M1 of the dry cell B1 is blocked by the inner wall portion 14ia. It is.

また、乾電池B1のマイナス端子M1の直径は、電池室10bの凹部12の幅よりも大きく構成され、且つマイナス端子M1は平坦な構成をしている。そのため、乾電池B1が逆向きに収容された場合、乾電池B1のマイナス端子M1側の端面は、マイナス端子M1が凹部12内に入ることなく支持面14sにて支持された状態となる。ここで、プラス電極22の電極部22aは、凹部12の入口よりも奥側に引っ込んだ位置に配設されているため、図6(b)に示すように、マイナス端子M1とプラス電極22の電極部22aとの間には、例えば距離d2の隙間が空いている。そのため、電極部22aが凹部12の外側に飛び出してマイナス端子M1と接触するといったことも起こらないようになっている。
以上説明した作用については、乾電池B2を逆方向に収容した場合の電池室10b側についても同様となるため、電池室10b側については説明を省略する。
Further, the negative terminal M1 of the dry battery B1 has a diameter larger than the width of the concave portion 12 of the battery chamber 10b, and the negative terminal M1 has a flat configuration. Therefore, when the dry battery B1 is accommodated in the opposite direction, the end surface of the dry battery B1 on the minus terminal M1 side is in a state of being supported by the support surface 14s without the minus terminal M1 entering the recess 12. Here, since the electrode portion 22a of the plus electrode 22 is disposed at a position retracted from the entrance of the recess 12, the minus terminal M1 and the plus electrode 22 are connected as shown in FIG. For example, a gap of a distance d2 is open between the electrode portion 22a. Therefore, the electrode portion 22a does not jump out of the concave portion 12 and comes into contact with the negative terminal M1.
About the effect | action demonstrated above, since it becomes the same also about the battery chamber 10b side when the dry battery B2 is accommodated in the reverse direction, description is abbreviate | omitted about the battery chamber 10b side.

(実施形態の作用及び効果)
本実施形態に係る電池収容装置1は、乾電池を収容する電池収容部10と、電池収容部10の短壁部14及び15の、乾電池のプラス端子と対向する部位である内壁部14ia及び15ibに設けられた、乾電池のプラス端子と接触するプラス電極22及び24とを備える。加えて、電池収容部10の短壁部14及び15の、乾電池のマイナス端子と対向する部位である内壁部15ia及び14ibに設けられた、乾電池のマイナス端子と接触するマイナス電極21及び23とを備える。更に、電池収容部10は、内壁部14ia及び15ibに形成された、乾電池のプラス端子を収容する凹部12及び13と、凹部12及び13の周囲に形成された、乾電池を収容時にそのプラス端子の周囲の端面と当接する支持面14s及び15sとを備える。
(Operation and effect of the embodiment)
The battery accommodating device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a battery accommodating portion 10 that accommodates a dry battery, and inner wall portions 14ia and 15ib that are portions of the short wall portions 14 and 15 of the battery accommodating portion 10 that face the positive terminal of the dry cell. Provided are plus electrodes 22 and 24 that are in contact with the plus terminals of the dry cell. In addition, the negative electrodes 21 and 23 provided on the inner wall portions 15ia and 14ib, which are portions of the short wall portions 14 and 15 of the battery housing portion 10 facing the negative terminal of the dry cell, are in contact with the negative terminal of the dry cell. Prepare. Further, the battery housing portion 10 includes recesses 12 and 13 formed in the inner wall portions 14ia and 15ib for housing the positive terminals of the dry cells, and the positive terminals of the positive terminals formed around the recesses 12 and 13 when the dry batteries are housed. Support surfaces 14 s and 15 s that come into contact with the peripheral end surfaces are provided.

この構成であれば、電池室10a及び10b内に収容された乾電池のプラス端子を、プラス電極22及び24に接した状態で且つ凹部12及び13内の奥面と衝突しない状態で収容しつつ、凹部12及び13の周囲の支持面14s及び15sによってプラス端子の周囲の端面を支持することが可能となる。これによって、電池室10aのマイナス電極21側の面と支持面14sとの2面と、電池室10bのマイナス電極23側の面と支持面15sとの2面とでそれぞれ乾電池を保持することが可能となる。その結果、例えば、電池収容装置1を採用した製品の落下時の衝撃によって乾電池のプラス端子へと乾電池の長さ方向の衝撃や振動の殆どが直接伝わるのを防ぐことが可能となる。その結果、乾電池の長さ方向の衝撃や振動からプラス端子を保護することが可能となる。   With this configuration, the positive terminals of the dry batteries accommodated in the battery chambers 10a and 10b are accommodated in a state where they are in contact with the positive electrodes 22 and 24 and do not collide with the inner surfaces of the recesses 12 and 13, The support surfaces 14s and 15s around the recesses 12 and 13 can support the end surface around the plus terminal. Accordingly, the dry battery can be held by the two surfaces of the negative electrode 21 side of the battery chamber 10a and the support surface 14s, and the two surfaces of the negative electrode 23 side of the battery chamber 10b and the support surface 15s. It becomes possible. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent most of the impact and vibration in the length direction of the dry battery from being directly transmitted to the positive terminal of the dry battery due to the impact when the product using the battery housing device 1 is dropped. As a result, the positive terminal can be protected from impact or vibration in the length direction of the dry battery.

また、本実施形態に係る電池収容装置1は、更に、プラス電極22及び24が、乾電池の長さ方向に沿って弾性変形する部材(実施形態では板バネ)から構成されている。
この構成であれば、様々な長さ寸法のプラス端子に対して、プラス電極を確実に接触させることが可能となる。
また、本実施形態に係る電池収容装置1は、更に、凹部12及び13のプラス端子の収容位置から上方の上凹部122及び132が、その下方の下凹部121及び131よりも幅広となっており、上部が開放された構成となっている。
この構成であれば、凹部12及び13の奥面と乾電池のプラス端子の上側の端面との間に下凹部121及び131の幅よりも幅広の隙間を形成することが可能となる。これによって、プラス端子上方の乾電池と凹部の奥面との間に手の指の爪先等を入れ易くすることが可能となるため、乾電池を取り出し易くすることが可能となる。
Further, in the battery housing device 1 according to the present embodiment, the plus electrodes 22 and 24 are further configured from members (plate springs in the embodiment) that are elastically deformed along the length direction of the dry battery.
With this configuration, the plus electrode can be reliably brought into contact with plus terminals having various lengths.
Further, in the battery accommodating device 1 according to the present embodiment, the upper concave portions 122 and 132 above the positive terminal accommodating positions of the concave portions 12 and 13 are wider than the lower concave portions 121 and 131 below the upper concave portions 121 and 131. The upper part is open.
If it is this structure, it will become possible to form a clearance gap wider than the width | variety of the lower recessed parts 121 and 131 between the back surface of the recessed parts 12 and 13 and the upper end surface of the positive terminal of a dry cell. As a result, it becomes possible to easily put a fingernail or the like between the dry battery above the plus terminal and the back surface of the concave portion, so that the dry battery can be easily taken out.

また、本実施形態に係る電池収容装置1は、更に、上凹部122及び132の下部側が下端(下凹部121及び131の上端)から上方に向かって幅方向に末広がりとなる平面視で略台形状に凹む凹部から形成されている。加えて、上凹部122及び132の上部側が下部側の上端の幅の辺を有する平面視で略矩形状に凹む凹部から構成されている。
この構成であれば、下部側の内壁部である傾斜壁部122a及び122c並びに132a及び132cの傾斜面によって、乾電池を収容時にそのプラス端子をその収容位置(下凹部121及び131)へと案内することが可能となる。これによって、例えば、乾電池のプラス端子を上凹部122及び132の上部側の側壁部122b及び132bに沿って収容するような場合に、下部側の傾斜壁部122a及び132aの斜面に沿ってプラス端子をその収容位置(下凹部121)へと円滑に収容することが可能となる。
Further, the battery accommodating device 1 according to the present embodiment further has a substantially trapezoidal shape in a plan view in which the lower side of the upper recesses 122 and 132 is widened from the lower end (the upper end of the lower recesses 121 and 131) upward in the width direction. It is formed from the recessed part dented in. In addition, the upper side of the upper recesses 122 and 132 is constituted by a recess that is recessed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view having a side of the width of the upper end on the lower side.
If it is this structure, the positive terminal will be guided to the accommodation position (lower recessed part 121 and 131) at the time of accommodation of a dry cell with the inclined surfaces of the inclined wall parts 122a and 122c and 132a and 132c which are inner walls on the lower side. It becomes possible. Thus, for example, when the positive terminal of the dry battery is accommodated along the upper side wall portions 122b and 132b of the upper recesses 122 and 132, the positive terminal along the slopes of the lower inclined wall portions 122a and 132a.

Further, the plate-like electrode portions 22a and 24a that are in contact with the positive terminals of the leaf springs are fixed at one end below the back side of the recesses 12 and 13, and the other end is the front side of the recesses 12 and 13. It is arrange | positioned in the state which stood up diagonally toward upper direction. The upright electrode portions 22a and 24a are configured to be pushed by the plus terminal and elastically deformed and pushed into the back side of the recesses 12 and 13 when the dry battery is accommodated. Further, ceiling portions 122ec and 132ec for hiding the upper end portions 22T and 24T are provided on the upper ends of the upper end portions 22T and 24T of the electrode portions 22a and 24a pushed into the back sides of the concave portions 12 and 13 of the battery housing portion 10, respectively. ing.

この構成であれば、乾電池を収容時にプラス電極22及び24の上端部22T及び24Tの先端部を天井部122ec及び132ecで乾電池を収容する側から隠すことが可能となる。これによって、電池室10a及び10bから乾電池を取り外すときに誤って爪の間に先端部が入って指先を怪我したり、プラス電極22及び24を破損したりするのを防ぐことが可能となる。
また、本実施形態に係る電池収容装置1は、更に、プラス電極22及び24は、そのプラス端子との接触部分が凹部12及び13の周囲の支持面14s及び15sよりも内側に位置するように配設されている。
この構成であれば、乾電池を逆向きに収容した場合に、乾電池のマイナス端子と凹部12及び13内のプラス電極22及び24とが接触しない状態となり、逆接続を防止することが可能となる。
With this configuration, the top ends 22T and 24T of the positive electrodes 22 and 24 can be hidden from the side where the dry batteries are accommodated by the ceiling parts 122ec and 132ec when the dry batteries are accommodated. As a result, it is possible to prevent the tip from entering between the nails and damaging the fingertip or damaging the plus electrodes 22 and 24 when removing the dry batteries from the battery chambers 10a and 10b.
Further, in the battery housing device 1 according to the present embodiment, the positive electrodes 22 and 24 are such that the contact portions with the positive terminals are located inside the support surfaces 14 s and 15 s around the recesses 12 and 13. It is arranged.
With this configuration, when the dry battery is accommodated in the reverse direction, the negative terminal of the dry battery and the positive electrodes 22 and 24 in the recesses 12 and 13 are not in contact with each other, and reverse connection can be prevented.

(変形例)
