Description

可攜式電子裝置的電池模組Battery modules for portable electronic devices

本發明是有關於一種電池模組，且特別是有關於一種可攜式電子裝置的電池模組。The present invention relates to a battery module, and in particular to a battery module for a portable electronic device.

隨著科技的發展，可攜式電子裝置，例如是筆記型電腦，已成為生活中不可或缺的輔助工具。由於筆記型電腦具有攜帶方便之優點，因此無論是在會議場合或是其他之工作場合中，皆可看到其被頻繁地利用。With the development of technology, portable electronic devices, such as laptops, have become an indispensable auxiliary tool in life. Because laptops are easy to carry, they are frequently used in meetings and other work situations.

一般來說，電池模組提供了筆記型電腦運作所需電力，有別於以往是採可拆式的電池模組，近來為了提高筆記型的攜帶性以及符合薄形化的設計趨勢，多將電池模組內建於筆記型電腦的主機系統內。Generally speaking, the battery module provides the power required for the operation of a laptop. Unlike the detachable battery modules in the past, in order to improve the portability of laptops and conform to the trend of thinner designs, the battery modules are now mostly built into the host system of the laptop.

然而，隨著筆記型電腦的產品型式改變，勢必會使內建的電池模組只能唯一適配於對應的型式。也就是說，不同型式的筆記型電腦，即使其所採用電池模組的電量是一樣的，也無法同時適用。However, as the product types of laptops change, the built-in battery modules will inevitably be uniquely adapted to the corresponding types. In other words, different types of laptops cannot be used at the same time even if the battery modules they use have the same power capacity.

再者，不同型式的筆記型電腦，其主機內部結構與空間配置會隨之不同，即使相同的電池模組，卻會進一步地面臨電池模組的纜線是否能適配於前述內部結構與空間配置。換句話說，相同的電池在面臨不同型式的筆記型電腦時，可能僅因纜線長度無法符合前述內部結構與空間配置，而需將電池模組採另行批量製作。此舉往往導致電池模組僅因纜線長度不同而需另行建立料號，進而導致料號過多而不易進行生產與庫存的管理作業。Furthermore, different types of laptops have different internal structures and space configurations. Even if the battery module is the same, it will further face the question of whether the cable of the battery module can adapt to the aforementioned internal structure and space configuration. In other words, when the same battery is used in different types of laptops, the battery module may need to be mass-produced simply because the cable length cannot meet the aforementioned internal structure and space configuration. This often results in the battery module having to create a separate part number just because the cable length is different, which in turn leads to too many part numbers and makes it difficult to manage production and inventory.

本發明提供一種可攜式電子裝置的電池模組，其通過纜線的長度調整機制，以提高可攜式電子裝置的主機與不同型式、尺寸的電池模組之間的適配程度。The present invention provides a battery module for a portable electronic device, which improves the adaptability between the host of the portable electronic device and battery modules of different types and sizes through a cable length adjustment mechanism.

本發明的可攜式電子裝置的電池模組，包括電池、纜線、連接器、至少一軌道以及滑動件。纜線連接在電池與連接器之間。軌道設置於電池。滑動件可移動地耦接於軌道，其中纜線的局部可移動地接觸且繞過滑動件，以讓連接器通過纜線而驅動滑動件沿軌道移動。The battery module of the portable electronic device of the present invention comprises a battery, a cable, a connector, at least one track and a sliding member. The cable is connected between the battery and the connector. The track is arranged on the battery. The sliding member is movably coupled to the track, wherein a part of the cable movably contacts and passes around the sliding member, so that the connector drives the sliding member to move along the track through the cable.

基於上述，可攜式電子裝置的電池模組包括電池、纜線、連接器、至少一軌道以及滑動件，其中纜線連接在電池與連接器之間，且纜線的局部可移動地接觸且繞過滑動。因此能隨著連接器的位置改變而使纜線調整其被拉伸出電池的長度。如此一來，同一個電池模組即能因纜線與連接器是可調節的狀態，而適應於不同型式主機的內部結構與空間配置，因此能有效地提高電池模組的適配能力，且同時簡化電池模組的管理作業。Based on the above, the battery module of the portable electronic device includes a battery, a cable, a connector, at least one track and a sliding member, wherein the cable is connected between the battery and the connector, and a portion of the cable can movably contact and slide around. Therefore, the length of the cable stretched out of the battery can be adjusted as the position of the connector changes. In this way, the same battery module can be adapted to the internal structure and space configuration of different types of hosts because the cable and the connector are in an adjustable state, thereby effectively improving the adaptability of the battery module and simplifying the management of the battery module.

Only a partial structure of the host 310 is shown here to facilitate identification of the configuration status of the battery module 100 and the motherboard module 200 in the host 310. As shown in FIG. 1 , the battery module 100 has a connector 110 for connecting with a connector 210 of a motherboard module 200 , so that the battery module 100 supplies power to the motherboard module 200 .

圖2B與圖2C以不同視角繪示圖2A的電池模組的部分構件，其中圖2A僅作為先行瞭解相關構件，而關於細部結構則主要於圖2B與圖2C中標示。請同時參考圖2A至圖2C，在本實施例中，電池模組100包括電池130、纜線120、前述之連接器110、至少一軌道（本實施例以第一軌道140、第二軌道150為例）以及滑動件170。纜線120連接在電池130與連接器110之間。第一軌道140與第二軌道150分別設置於電池130。滑動件170可移動地耦接於第一軌道140與第二軌道150，其中纜線120的局部可移動地接觸且繞過滑動件170，以讓連接器110通過纜線120而驅動滑動件170沿第一軌道140、第二軌道150移動。FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C illustrate some components of the battery module of FIG. 2A from different perspectives, wherein FIG. 2A is only used to understand the related components first, and the detailed structures are mainly indicated in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C. Please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C simultaneously. In this embodiment, the battery module 100 includes a battery 130, a cable 120, the aforementioned connector 110, at least one track (the first track 140 and the second track 150 are used as examples in this embodiment) and a sliding member 170. The cable 120 is connected between the battery 130 and the connector 110. The first track 140 and the second track 150 are respectively disposed on the battery 130. The slider 170 is movably coupled to the first rail 140 and the second rail 150 , wherein a portion of the cable 120 is movably in contact with and passes around the slider 170 , so that the connector 110 drives the slider 170 to move along the first rail 140 and the second rail 150 through the cable 120 .

詳細來說，如圖2A所示，本實施例的電池130包括電池本體131與蓋體132，其中電池本體131具有凹陷131a，前述相關構件，第一軌道140、第二軌道150、滑動件170與部分纜線120是配置於凹陷131a，而所述凹陷131a經由蓋體132覆蓋之後形成開口131c，以讓凹陷131a是經由開口131c而連通外部環境，且讓纜線120的局部能穿過開口131c而被拉伸或縮回，並進而連接至連接器110。在此，電池130的內部131d與前述開口131c實為凹陷131a的相對兩側。In detail, as shown in FIG. 2A , the battery 130 of this embodiment includes a battery body 131 and a cover 132, wherein the battery body 131 has a recess 131a, and the aforementioned related components, the first track 140, the second track 150, the sliding member 170 and a portion of the cable 120 are disposed in the recess 131a, and the recess 131a is covered by the cover 132 to form an opening 131c, so that the recess 131a is connected to the external environment through the opening 131c, and a portion of the cable 120 can pass through the opening 131c to be stretched or retracted, and further connected to the connector 110. Here, the interior 131d of the battery 130 and the aforementioned opening 131c are actually opposite sides of the recess 131a.

再者，第一軌道140以其樞接孔142樞接至電池130的樞接柱131b，也就是讓第一軌道140是以其鄰近內部131d的一端樞接於電池130，其中樞接柱131b是位於凹陷131a中。第二軌道150是固設於電池130的凹陷131a內，其中電池130的內部131d與開口131c相當於位在第一軌道140之延伸方向的相對兩端與第二軌道150之延伸方向的相對兩端。滑動件170同時可移動地耦接於第一軌道140與第二軌道150。Furthermore, the first rail 140 is pivoted to the pivot pin 131b of the battery 130 through its pivot hole 142, that is, the first rail 140 is pivoted to the battery 130 at one end adjacent to the inner portion 131d, wherein the pivot pin 131b is located in the recess 131a. The second rail 150 is fixed in the recess 131a of the battery 130, wherein the inner portion 131d of the battery 130 and the opening 131c are located at opposite ends of the first rail 140 and the second rail 150 in the extending direction. The sliding member 170 is movably coupled to the first rail 140 and the second rail 150 at the same time.

另外，如圖2B與圖2C所示，滑動件170包括柱部171、第一側翼173與第二側翼172，第一側翼173與第二側翼172分別從柱部171延伸出且彼此背離，且纜線120的局部可移動地接觸且繞過柱部171，其中第一側翼173通過其定位柱173a而可移動地耦接於第一軌道140，且通過定位柱173a而能暫時定位在第一軌道140的多個定位凹陷141的其中之一。第二側翼172可移動地耦接於第二軌道150，且第二側翼172是以其凹形切口172a而可移動地嵌合於第二軌道150的凸肋152，以讓第二側翼172的端部能在第二軌道150的凹槽151中移動。通過前述凹形切口172a與凸肋152而可限制滑動件170的移動路徑是與第二軌道150的延伸方向一致且相互平行，亦即，確保滑動件170是呈直線的移動路徑。In addition, as shown in Figures 2B and 2C, the sliding member 170 includes a column 171, a first side wing 173 and a second side wing 172, the first side wing 173 and the second side wing 172 respectively extend from the column 171 and are separated from each other, and a portion of the cable 120 can movably contact and bypass the column 171, wherein the first side wing 173 is movably coupled to the first rail 140 through its positioning column 173a, and can be temporarily positioned in one of the multiple positioning recesses 141 of the first rail 140 through the positioning column 173a. The second side wing 172 is movably coupled to the second rail 150, and the second side wing 172 is movably engaged with the rib 152 of the second rail 150 through its concave cutout 172a, so that the end of the second side wing 172 can move in the groove 151 of the second rail 150. The concave cutout 172a and the rib 152 limit the movement path of the slider 170 to be consistent with the extension direction of the second rail 150 and parallel to each other, that is, to ensure that the slider 170 has a straight movement path.

本實施例的電池模組100還包括彈簧160，其設置在第二軌道150且連接在第二側翼172與第二軌道150之間，後續描述滑動件170的移動過程時會有進一步說明。The battery module 100 of this embodiment further includes a spring 160, which is disposed on the second track 150 and connected between the second side wing 172 and the second track 150, which will be further described later when describing the movement process of the sliding member 170.

值得注意的是，本實施例的第一軌道140是具有呈封閉的循環路徑，其包括第一段R1、第二段R2且第一段R1與第二段R2彼此首尾銜接，以讓第一側翼173能藉由循環路徑而往返於開口131c與內部131d之間。前述的多個定位凹陷141則是分佈在循環路徑的第一段R1上，以在滑動件170從內部131d往開口131c移動的過程中，第一側翼173能以其定位柱173a暫時固定於這些定位凹陷141的其中之一。此外，如圖2B與圖2C所示，第一段R1與第二段R2的首尾銜接處分別呈斜坡，且第一段R1（的地勢）高於第二段R2（的地勢），以利於導引定位柱173a並限制其移動方向。It is worth noting that the first track 140 of the present embodiment has a closed loop path, which includes a first section R1 and a second section R2, and the first section R1 and the second section R2 are connected end to end, so that the first side wing 173 can travel back and forth between the opening 131c and the interior 131d through the loop path. The aforementioned plurality of positioning recesses 141 are distributed on the first section R1 of the loop path, so that when the sliding member 170 moves from the interior 131d to the opening 131c, the first side wing 173 can be temporarily fixed to one of the positioning recesses 141 with its positioning column 173a. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C , the joints between the first section R1 and the second section R2 are sloped, and the first section R1 is higher than the second section R2, so as to facilitate guiding the positioning column 173a and limit its moving direction.

基於上述配置，簡單地輸，本實施例的纜線120相當於是從電池本體131延伸並繞設於滑動件170的局部後再連接連接器110。換句話說，如圖2A所示，纜線120具有相對兩端，其中一端電性連接電池本體131的控制電路板，而另一端電性連接連接器110，且纜線120位於所述兩端之間的局部是可移動地繞設於滑動件170的柱部171。簡單地說，當蓋體132覆於電池本體131後會使凹陷131a形成開口131c以利纜線120通過，而纜線120即是先背對開口131c而朝內部131d延伸，並在繞設（且接觸）於滑動件170的柱部171後再朝向開口131c延伸以連接連接器110，相當於纜線120是布置在電池本體131的凹陷131a內以形成彎折，且彎折的開放處是恆朝向開口131c。據此，當連接器110逐漸移離電池130，以將纜線120逐漸從電池130拉伸出的過程中，即能通過纜線120而驅動滑動件170沿第一軌道140、第二軌道150且朝向開口131c移動。Based on the above configuration, in simple terms, the cable 120 of the present embodiment is equivalent to extending from the battery body 131 and being wound around a portion of the slider 170 before being connected to the connector 110. In other words, as shown in FIG. 2A , the cable 120 has two opposite ends, one end of which is electrically connected to the control circuit board of the battery body 131, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the connector 110, and the portion of the cable 120 between the two ends is movably wound around the column 171 of the slider 170. In short, when the cover 132 covers the battery body 131, the recess 131a forms an opening 131c to facilitate the passage of the cable 120. The cable 120 first extends toward the inner portion 131d away from the opening 131c, and then extends toward the opening 131c to connect to the connector 110 after being wound around (and contacting) the column 171 of the sliding member 170. This is equivalent to the cable 120 being arranged in the recess 131a of the battery body 131 to form a bend, and the open portion of the bend is always facing the opening 131c. Accordingly, when the connector 110 gradually moves away from the battery 130 to gradually pull the cable 120 out of the battery 130, the cable 120 can drive the slider 170 to move along the first track 140, the second track 150 and toward the opening 131c.

請再參考圖2B與圖2C，在本實施例中，滑動件170還具有第二斜面174，而第一軌道140還具有第一斜面143，位在第二斜面174的移動路徑上。當滑動件170沿第一軌道140移動且從鄰近於電池130的內部131d移至鄰近電池130的開口131c時，第二斜面174抵接第一斜面143，而使滑動件170驅動第一軌道140旋轉，且讓第一側翼173從第一軌道140的第一段R1移至第一軌道140的第二段R2。Please refer to FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C again. In this embodiment, the sliding member 170 further has a second inclined surface 174, and the first track 140 further has a first inclined surface 143, which is located on the moving path of the second inclined surface 174. When the sliding member 170 moves along the first track 140 and moves from the inner portion 131d adjacent to the battery 130 to the opening 131c adjacent to the battery 130, the second inclined surface 174 abuts against the first inclined surface 143, so that the sliding member 170 drives the first track 140 to rotate, and the first side wing 173 moves from the first section R1 of the first track 140 to the second section R2 of the first track 140.

圖3A與圖3B繪示圖2A的電池模組的不同狀態。請同時參考圖3A與3B，正因前述第一斜面143與第二斜面174的存在，且因第一軌道140是樞接於電池130，因此當滑動件170移動至鄰近開口131c處時，通過第一斜面143與第二斜面174的相互抵接，且滑動件170因前述第二側翼172與第二軌道150的侷限關係，因此第一軌道140會受滑動件170的驅動而旋轉偏離，如圖3A至圖3B的過程所示。同時，於圖3A、圖3B旁所示第一段R1、第二段R2、銜接段L1與銜接段L2，其中接段L1與銜接段L2正是前述斜坡的路徑，是用以明確繪示第一側翼173的定位柱173a在第一軌道140的移動路線。如圖3B所示，在滑動件170將第一軌道140進行旋轉推離的過程中，也相當於是使定位柱173a從第一段R1（經由銜接段L2）移至第二段R2的過程。FIG3A and FIG3B illustrate different states of the battery module of FIG2A. Please refer to FIG3A and FIG3B simultaneously. Due to the existence of the first inclined surface 143 and the second inclined surface 174, and because the first track 140 is pivotally connected to the battery 130, when the slider 170 moves to the vicinity of the opening 131c, the first inclined surface 143 and the second inclined surface 174 abut against each other, and the slider 170 is constrained by the second side wing 172 and the second track 150, so the first track 140 is driven by the slider 170 to rotate and deviate, as shown in the process from FIG3A to FIG3B. At the same time, the first section R1, the second section R2, the connecting section L1 and the connecting section L2 are shown beside FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, wherein the connecting section L1 and the connecting section L2 are exactly the paths of the aforementioned slopes, and are used to clearly indicate the movement path of the positioning column 173a of the first side wing 173 in the first track 140. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the sliding member 170 rotates and pushes the first track 140 away, it is also equivalent to the process of moving the positioning column 173a from the first section R1 (via the connecting section L2) to the second section R2.

在上述如圖3B所示狀態，由於彈簧160已被拉伸變形，因此使用者解除其施加在連接器110或纜線120上的施力時，彈簧160即能以其彈力而驅動滑動件170復位，以使定位柱173a是沿第一軌道140的第二段R2而移回鄰近內部131d處。換句話說，本實施例的彈簧160是作為纜線120（及連接器110）的復位之用。也就是使用者能施力於連接器110或纜線120，而讓連接器110從開口131c拉伸纜線120，並驅動滑動件170從電池130的內部131d朝向開口131c移動，待使用者解除施力後，彈簧160恆驅動滑動件170背離開口131c而朝電池130的內部131d移動，且此時滑動件170的第一側翼173的定位柱173a是沿第二段R2往鄰近內部131d處移動。In the state shown in FIG. 3B , since the spring 160 has been stretched and deformed, when the user releases the force applied to the connector 110 or the cable 120, the spring 160 can drive the slider 170 to reset with its elastic force, so that the positioning post 173a moves back to the vicinity of the inner portion 131d along the second section R2 of the first track 140. In other words, the spring 160 of this embodiment is used to reset the cable 120 (and the connector 110). That is, the user can apply force to the connector 110 or the cable 120, so that the connector 110 stretches the cable 120 from the opening 131c and drives the sliding member 170 to move from the inner portion 131d of the battery 130 toward the opening 131c. After the user releases the force, the spring 160 constantly drives the sliding member 170 away from the opening 131c and toward the inner portion 131d of the battery 130, and at this time, the positioning column 173a of the first side wing 173 of the sliding member 170 moves along the second section R2 toward the inner portion 131d.

還需注意的是，在滑動件170的復位過程中，由於滑動件170受第二軌道150侷限而維持其直線的移動路徑，因此當第一側翼173是沿第二段R2移動的過程中，也代表著原已受滑動件170驅動而旋轉的第一軌道140，會因滑動件170的復位而產生復位旋轉，而恢復如圖2A的狀態，直至第一側翼173移至銜接段L1並回至第一段R1，而完成一個循環。It should also be noted that during the reset process of the slider 170, the slider 170 is restricted by the second track 150 and maintains its straight moving path. Therefore, when the first side wing 173 is moving along the second section R2, it also means that the first track 140, which has been driven and rotated by the slider 170, will reset and rotate due to the reset of the slider 170, and restore to the state shown in FIG. 2A, until the first side wing 173 moves to the joint section L1 and returns to the first section R1, completing a cycle.

綜上所述，在本發明的上述實施例中，可攜式電子裝置的電池模組包括電池、纜線、連接器、至少一軌道以及滑動件，其中纜線連接在電池與連接器之間，且纜線的局部可移動地接觸且繞過滑動。因此能隨著連接器的位置改變而使纜線調整其被拉伸出電池的長度。In summary, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the battery module of the portable electronic device includes a battery, a cable, a connector, at least one track and a slide, wherein the cable is connected between the battery and the connector, and a portion of the cable can movably contact and pass through the slide. Therefore, the length of the cable stretched out of the battery can be adjusted as the position of the connector changes.

進一步地說，電池模組過在電池本體上設置固定式的第二軌道與可樞轉的第一軌道，以讓第二軌道能侷限滑動件維持其直線移動路徑，而進一步地通過滑動件與第一軌道相對應的斜面抵接，進而使滑動件得以驅動第一軌道樞轉，並據以讓滑動件的第一側翼能從第一軌道的第一段移至第二段，而後再通過彈簧的彈力驅動，以讓第一側翼能順利地在第二段上移動，直至復位至其端部與第一段的銜接處。Specifically, the battery module is provided with a fixed second track and a pivotable first track on the battery body, so that the second track can limit the sliding member to maintain its straight moving path, and further, the sliding member abuts against the inclined surface corresponding to the first track, so that the sliding member can drive the first track to pivot, and thereby the first side wing of the sliding member can move from the first section of the first track to the second section, and then driven by the elastic force of the spring, so that the first side wing can move smoothly on the second section until it is reset to the joint between its end and the first section.

如此一來，滑動件與前述軌道的對應關係，搭配纜線是可移動地接觸於滑動件的柱部，因此可使柱部與纜線形成類似滑輪結構，代表著纜線能因此經由開口被拉伸，或是通過彈簧的彈力而縮回，進而產生纜線長度可調節的效果。In this way, the corresponding relationship between the sliding member and the aforementioned track, combined with the cable being movably in contact with the column of the sliding member, can form a pulley-like structure with the column and the cable, which means that the cable can be stretched through the opening or retracted by the elastic force of the spring, thereby producing an effect in which the cable length can be adjusted.

據此，同一個電池模組即能因纜線與連接器是可調節的狀態，而適應於不同型式主機的內部結構與空間配置，因此能有效地提高電池模組的適配能力，且同時簡化電池模組的管理作業。Accordingly, the same battery module can adapt to the internal structure and space configuration of different types of hosts because the cables and connectors are adjustable, thereby effectively improving the adaptability of the battery module and simplifying the management of the battery module.
