This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710259256.8 filed on Apr. 20, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to an electronic device having a rotatable battery cover.
As electronic devices have become smaller and thinner, heat dissipation of the battery becomes more important.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other word that “substantially” modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series and the like.
As illustrated in
A through hole 21 can be defined in the cover 20. An axle 22 can extend through the through hole 21 to rotationally couple the cover 20 to the casing 10. A length of the axle 22 is longer than a length of the through hole 21. The receiving groove 12 can include a first sidewall 120 and a pair of second sidewalls 121. The first sidewall 120 can be located between the pair of second sidewalls 121. Each of the second sidewalls 121 can define a receiving hole 122 therein for receiving an end of the axle 22, thereby rotationally coupling the axle 22 to the casing 10.
The cover 20 can be rotated between a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the cover 20 is fully received in the receiving groove 12 to cover the battery. When in use, the cover 20 can be rotated about the axle 22 to the open state to uncover the battery, thereby allowing the battery to dissipate heat.
As illustrated in
The casing 10 can further include a latching member 14 and a first elastic member 15. The latching member 14 and the first elastic member 15 are received in the first groove 13. The latching member 14 can be substantially L-shaped and protrude through the first opening 130 and the second opening 131. A first end of the first elastic member 15 can be fixed to the latching member 14, and a second end of the first elastic member 15 can be fixed to an inner wall of the first groove 13.
A notch 23 can be defined in an edge portion of the cover 20 adjacent to the first groove 13. The latching member 14 can be elastically latched in the notch 23 when the cover 20 is in the closed state.
The portion of the latching member 14 protruding through the first opening 130 can be operated by a user to move the latching member 14 away from the cover 20, thereby unlatching the latching member 14 from the notch.
At least one second groove 16 can be defined in the back surface 11 adjacent to the axle 22 of the cover 20. In the illustrated embodiment, there are two second grooves 16, each second groove 16 being defined adjacent to a corresponding end of the axle 22. The second groove 16 can include a third opening 160 and a fourth opening 161. The third opening 160 is defined on the back surface 11, and the fourth opening 161 is defined on the corresponding adjacent second sidewall 121.
The casing 10 can further include a resisting member 17 and a second elastic member 18. The resisting member 17 and the second elastic member 18 are received in the second groove 16. The resisting member 17 can be substantially L-shaped and protrude through the third opening 160 and the fourth opening 161. A first end of the second elastic member 18 can be fixed to the resisting member 17, and a second end of the second elastic member 18 can be fixed to an inner wall of the second groove 16.
When the cover 20 is in the closed state, the portion of the resisting member 17 protruding through the fourth opening 161 is made flush with the corresponding second sidewall 121. The portion of the resisting member 17 protruding through the third opening 160 can be operated by a user to move the resisting member 17 away from the cover 20, thereby allowing the cover 20 to be removed from the closed state.
