Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a battery storage device, and more particularly to a battery storage device suitable for portable type devices.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional battery mounting device is, for example, Jitsuko Sho-45-26032.
As described in the publication, the battery can be taken out only by pressing the button for releasing the lock.

In this case, although there is an advantage that the operation of taking out is extremely easy, when the button for releasing the lock is operated by mistake regardless of the user's consciousness to take out the battery, the battery pops out from the set body and drops the battery. I didn't take into consideration the fact that it would break and that the power would turn off if the set was in use.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In such a conventional device, there is room for consideration in terms of safety from the user's point of view, and the malfunction of the button to release the lock may drop the battery,
It is necessary to solve the problem that the power is accidentally turned off while using the set. Also, no consideration was given to the ease of incorporation.

An object of the present invention is to have a structure in which the battery cannot be taken out unless the button for releasing the lock is operated with a clear consciousness of taking out the battery when the battery is taken out, and the battery can be easily assembled. To provide a storage device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a member for locking the holding of the battery when the battery is inserted, and a means for pressing an operating member such as a push button for releasing the locking member via an elastic member. The lock member does not move even if the lock release operation member is pressed without moving, and other operations, for example, the operation of pressing the battery itself in the inserting direction at the same time, the lock member can be moved and released. It was made possible.

Further, the lock member, the elastic member, and the like are structured to be incorporated into a holding portion provided in a case or the like of the device body by elastic deformation or the like.

[Action]

The elastic member is rotated by operating a lock release button, and the member that locks the battery is moved to release the lock. Even if the button that releases the lock is operated while force is being applied to the member that locks the battery, that is, the member that has elasticity bends and the member that locks the battery is locked. It cannot be moved. However, if no force is applied to the member that locks the battery, the lock can be released. That is, the safety is maintained because the lock cannot be released without the two-system operation of the operation of pressing the release button and the operation of releasing the force applied to the lock member by the battery. The locking member is fitted into the frame while bending the elastic piece provided on the frame. The elastic member is
The frame is provided with a deformation hole and it is fitted into it while rotating. After the assembly, since the lock member has a function of preventing the lock member from coming off, there is no fear that the elastic member will come off from the frame.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a state in which the battery 2 is housed inside the main body 1 and locked by the lock lever 5. A spring 7 applies a force to the battery 2 to the outside, and the lock piece 5a of the lock lever 5 receives the force. As shown in FIG. 1, the lock lever 5 is always pulled by the spring 8 in the direction in which the battery 2 is to be locked, and the lock piece 5a maintains the position shown in FIG. 2, so there is no concern that the lock will come off.

3 and 4 show a state in which the battery 2 is unlocked. By pressing the take-out button 3, the elastic member 6 is rotated to move the lock lever to release the lock. At this time, in the operation of simply pushing the take-out button 3 from the state shown in FIG. 1, the elastic force of the elastic member 6 causes the spring 8 applied to the lock lever 5 to press the buttery 2 and the spring 7. Therefore, the rock lever 5 cannot be moved because it bends on the side surface of the lock groove of the battery 2 under the force pushing the lock piece 5a. That is, the battery cannot be taken out.

When the battery 2 is taken out while the battery 2 is stored in the main body 1 and is locked, as shown in FIG. 9, the battery 2 is pushed with a finger and the take-out button 3 is pushed. When the battery 2 is pushed in, the battery 2 moves in the direction of the arrow as shown by the broken line in FIG. 4, so that the end of the lock piece 5a is removed from the side of the lock groove of the battery 2 and the eject button is released. When you press 3, the elastic member 6
Rotates the lock lever 5. At this time, since the lock lever 5 rotates only by resisting the force of the spring 8, the elastic member 6 easily brings the lock piece 5a into the state shown in FIG. 4 to release the lock. Therefore, the battery 2 can be easily taken out by the force of the spring 7.

5 and 6 show examples of schematic shapes of the lock lever 5 and the elastic member 6, respectively. FIG. 7 shows the elastic member 6.
The operation of incorporating the above into the battery frame 4 will be described. The protrusion of the elastic member 6 is inserted into the hole of the battery frame 4 and rotated in the arrow direction. FIG. 6 shows the operation of incorporating the lock lever 5 into the battery frame 4. An elastic piece is provided on the battery frame 4, and the lock lever 5 is fitted while bending the elastic piece of the battery frame 4 in the direction of the arrow.
As described above, no screw is used in the assembling work of the battery frame 4, which is very easy to assemble.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when the battery is taken out, it cannot be taken out without putting the finger on the battery. Therefore, it is possible to surely prevent the battery from falling, and even if the take-out button during operation of the battery is mistakenly operated. It has the effect of not popping out and turning off the power. In addition, the parts as in the embodiment have an effect that the parts can be easily assembled as compared with the conventional one.
