Abstract
A base structure includes a main body, a cover, a rod and an operating element. The main body includes a hollow portion, a containing portion for placing a battery module and an electrical connecting portion. The cover is combined detachably with the main body to cover the hollow portion. The operating element passes through the main body to connect to the rod, and drives the rod to move relative to the main body. After the cover is combined with the main body, the rod in a first position locks the cover. When the rod is moved from the first position to a second position, the rod unlocks the cover and pushes the cover outwards from the main body, and the rod pushes the battery module to be electrically disconnected from the electrical connecting portion at the same time.

A base structure of an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a main body, comprising a hollow portion, a containing portion, and an electrical connecting portion, the containing portion being used for placing a battery module and the electrical connecting portion being used for electrically connecting to the battery module;
- a cover detachably combining with the main body to cover the hollow portion, the cover comprising at least one actuating element;
- a rod movably combining with the main body and two sides of the rod being respectively adjacent to the containing portion and the hollow portion;
- the rod comprising at least one first driving portion and at least one second driving portion, the at least one first driving portion corresponding to the hollow portion and the at least one second driving portion corresponding to the containing portion;
- and
- an operating element passing through the main body and connecting to the rod, the operating element driving the rod relative to the main body to a first position or a second position;
- wherein the cover is combined with the main body, the rod in the first position fixes the cover by the at least one first driving portion and the at least one actuating element of the cover forming a lock state;
- when the rod moves from the first position to the second position, the at least one first driving portion unlocks the lock state with the at least one actuating element and pushes the at least one actuating element to move the cover outward from the main body;
- and when the rod moves from the first position to the second position, the at least one second driving portion pushes the battery module so that the battery module is electrically disconnected from the electrical connecting portion.
An electronic apparatus, comprising a base structure, the base structure comprising:
- a main body comprising a hollow portion, a containing portion, and an electrical connecting portion, the containing portion being used for placing a battery module and the electrical connecting portion being used for electrically connecting to the battery module;
- a cover detachably combining with the main body to cover the hollow portion, the cover comprising at least one actuating element;
- a rod movably combining with the main body and two sides of the rod being respectively adjacent to the containing portion and the hollow portion;
- the rod comprising at least one first driving portion and at least one second driving portion, the at least one first driving portion corresponding to the hollow portion and the at least one second driving portion corresponding to the containing portion;
- and
- an operating element passing through the main body and connecting to the rod, the operating element driving the rod to a first position or a second position relative to the main body;
- wherein after the cover is combined with the main body, the rod in the first position fixes the cover by the at least one first driving portion and the at least one actuating element of the cover forming a lock state;
- when the rod moves from the first position to the second position, the at least one first driving portion unlocks the lock state with the at least one actuating element and pushes the at least one actuating element to move the cover outward from the main body;
- at the same time, the at least one second driving portion pushes the battery module so that the battery module is electrically disconnected from the electrical connecting portion.
