Abstract

A battery carrier configured to hold a battery includes a base and a frame disposed on the base. The base includes a main plate and a first limiter disposed on the main plate. The main plate has a positioning hole located opposite to the first limiter. The frame includes a main part located on the main plate, a tail part disposed to the main part, and a stopper. The main part includes an abutment wall standing on the main plate. The tail part includes a positioning post. The stopper includes an elastic arm disposed on the abutment wall and a block disposed on the elastic arm. The base has a limit edge located between the first limiter and the positioning hole. An extending direction of the limit edge is different from a direction from the first limiter to the positioning hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A battery carrier, configured to hold a battery, the battery carrier comprising:
a base, comprising a main plate and a first limiter, wherein the first limiter is disposed on the main plate and configured for the battery to abut thereon, and the main plate has a positioning hole located opposite to the first limiter; and
a frame, comprising a main part, a tail part and a stopper, wherein the main part is located on the main plate, the main part comprises an abutment wall, the abutment wall stands on the main plate and is configured for the battery to abut thereon, the tail part is disposed on a side of the main part located away from the first limiter, the tail part comprises a positioning post, the frame is disposed on the base via the insertion of the positioning post into the positioning hole, the stopper comprises an elastic arm and a block, the elastic arm is disposed on a side of the abutment wall located away from the main plate, and the block is disposed on the elastic arm and protrudes towards the first limiter from the abutment wall,
wherein the base has at least one limit edge, the at least one limit edge is located between the first limiter and the positioning hole and configured for the main part to abut thereat, and an extending direction of the at least one limit edge is different from a direction from the first limiter to the positioning hole.

2. The battery carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the main part has an opening facing the main plate, the base further comprises a second limiter, the second limiter is disposed on the main plate and disposed through the opening, the second limiter and the opening are located between the abutment wall and the tail part, the main part has a first edge and a second edge that are opposite to each other at the opening, the first edge and the second edge abut at two opposite sides of the second limiter, and a direction from the first edge to the second edge is different from the direction from the first limiter to the abutment wall.

3. The battery carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the main part further comprises a protruding part, the protruding part is disposed on a side of the abutment wall located away from the first limiter, the protruding part abuts on the second limiter, and the second limiter is located between the protruding part and the main plate.

4. The battery carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the abutment wall has a through hole, and the though hole faces towards the first limiter and is located between the first limiter and the second limiter.

5. The battery carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the base further comprises a third limiter and a fourth limiter that are opposite to each other and are disposed on the main plate, and the third limiter and the fourth limiter are located between the first limiter and the abutment wall and configured for the battery to abut thereon.

6. The battery carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the frame further comprises a first side plate and a second side plate that are disposed on two opposite sides of the main part and have at least part located closer to the first limiter than the abutment wall.

7. The battery carrier according to claim 6 , wherein the first side plate comprises an extending protrusion that extends towards the second side plate, and a distance between the extending protrusion and the main plate is greater than a thickness of the battery.

8. The battery carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the block has an inclined surface facing away from the main plate and the abutment wall, and the inclined surface is configured to be pressed to be moved away from the first limiter.

9. The battery carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic arm is made of plastic material.

10. The battery carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the tail part comprises a ramp, and the ramp is located away from the main part than the positioning post and faces the main plate.
