The battery cover latching mechanism includes a body member and a cover member. The body member includes a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and a sidewall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall. The top wall and the bottom wall and the sidewall enclose a battery receiving space. The sidewall defines an opening communicating with the battery receiving space. The opening is configured for mounting a battery into the battery receiving space. The cover member is pivotably mounted to the body member to cover the opening. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A battery cover latching mechanism, comprising: a body member including a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and a sidewall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the top wall and the bottom wall and the sidewall enclosing a battery receiving space, the sidewall defining an opening communicating with the battery receiving space, the opening configured for mounting a battery in the battery receiving space; and a cover member mounted to the body member to cover the opening. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sidewall defines a sliding slot in an interior wall thereof adjacent the opening, the cover member includes a semicylinder protruding therefrom, the semicylinder being rotatably and slidably received in the sliding slot. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein the sliding slot is arcuate. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein two protrusions protrudes from the interior wall of the sliding slot near each end of the sliding slot, forming latching slot sections at each end of the sliding slot, the semicylinder being received in the latching slot sections. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 2, wherein the sidewall has an attaching surface adjacent to the opening, the cover includes an engaging surface corresponding to the attaching surface, the engaging surface tightly attaches to the attaching surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover member includes a resisting wall, the resisting wall abuts against the top wall, and are used to support the cover member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover member includes a latching block, the top wall defining a latching slot corresponding to the latching block, the latching block latching into the latching slot. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 6, wherein the cover member further includes a mounting wall, a resisting wall, and a shielding wall; the mounting wall, the shielding wall and the resisting wall connect each other to form a whole. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 8, wherein an aperture is formed between the mounting wall and the shielding wall. ### Claim 10 A battery cover latching mechanism, comprising: a body member including a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and a sidewall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the top wall and the bottom wall and the sidewall enclosing a battery receiving space, the sidewall defining an opening communicating with the battery receiving space, the opening configured for mounting a battery in the battery receiving space; and a cover member mounted to the body member to cover the opening, the sidewall defining a sliding slot in an interior wall thereof adjacent the opening, the cover member including a semicylinder protruding therefrom, the semicylinder being rotatably and slidably received in the sliding slot. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 10, wherein the sliding slot is arcuate. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 11, wherein two pairs of protrusions protrude from the interior wall of the sliding slot adjacent to each end of the sliding slot, forming latching slot sections at each end of the sliding slot, the semicylinder being received in the latching slot sections. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The battery cover latching mechanism as claimed in claim 11, wherein the sidewall has an attaching surface adjacent to the opening, the cover disposes an engaging surface corresponding to the attaching surface, the engaging surface tightly attaches to the attaching surface. ### Claim 14 A battery cover latching mechanism, comprising: a body member including a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and a sidewall connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the top wall and the bottom wall and the sidewall enclosing a battery receiving space, the sidewall defining an opening communicating with the battery receiving space, the opening configured for mounting a battery in the battery receiving space; and a cover member mounted to the body member to cover the opening, the sidewall defining a sliding slot, a semicylinder protruding from the cover member, the semicylinder being rotatably and slidably received in the sliding slot.
