Battery cover assembly

The present invention relates to a battery cover assembly, and more particularly to a battery cover assembly for use in an electronic device.

With the continuous innovation and advancement of technology, electronic devices such as personal digital assistants, palm-sized computers, portable electronic dictionaries, digital cameras and mobile phones have gradually filled the lives of everyone. This type of electronic product power supply is provided by a battery slot structure for the battery unit to be placed on the back of the casing. After the battery unit is installed in the battery slot, the battery cover that is engaged with the battery slot is engaged with the opening of the battery slot, thereby achieving the purpose of encapsulating the battery unit in the casing.

However, in the conventional battery cover assembly, when the battery is replaced during use, the battery cover needs to be removed to disengage the battery cover from the electronic device body. After replacing the battery, you need to manually snap the battery cover into the battery compartment. In this way, it is extremely inconvenient to replace the battery.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a battery cover assembly that is convenient to use.

A battery cover assembly includes a casing and a battery cover, the casing defines a battery slot for mounting a battery, and a battery cover slot for receiving the battery cover, the battery cover is received in the battery The battery cover is disposed to cover the battery slot, and the battery cover is provided with two sliding bodies on the surface of the housing. The housing is provided with two sliding slots corresponding to the sliding body, and the sliding body is slidably carded. In the sliding slot, the battery cover is further provided with a latch on the surface of the housing, and the housing is opened The battery cover assembly further includes two elastic bodies, and the sliding body compresses the elastic body to provide a force for closing the battery cover during the opening process, and the card is provided by the card The engagement of the cymbal with the card slot causes the battery cover to be in an open state without disengaging from the housing.

Compared with the prior art, the battery cover assembly realizes the opening of the battery cover by sliding between the sliding body and the sliding slot. At the same time, during the opening of the battery cover, the sliding body compresses the elastic body to accumulate the elastic force. Therefore, when the battery cover needs to be closed, the battery cover is automatically closed by the elastic force of the elastic body, thus improving The battery cover assembly is convenient to use.
