Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing configured to form at least a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device; a battery disposed inside the housing; a circuit board disposed inside the housing; a gas sensor module including at least one gas sensor and mounted in the circuit board; and at least one wall disposed adjacent to the gas sensor module, wherein in the at least one wall, a first opening configured to introduce a gas leaked from the battery and a second opening configured to introduce air outside the electronic device are formed.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing configured to form at least a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device;
- a battery disposed inside the housing;
- a circuit board disposed inside the housing;
- a gas sensor module comprising at least one gas sensor and mounted in the circuit board;
- and
- at least one wall disposed adjacent to the gas sensor module,
- wherein the at least one wall comprises a first opening configured to introduce a gas leaked from the battery and a second opening configured to introduce air outside the electronic device,
- wherein the gas sensor module is configured to detect the gas leaked from the battery introduced from the first opening.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing configured to form at least a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device and to form a first space therein;
- a battery disposed inside the housing;
- a circuit board disposed inside the housing;
- and
- a gas sensor module comprising at least one gas sensor and mounted in the circuit board,
- wherein the housing further comprises:
- a first opening comprising a second space disposed in at least a portion of the first space and configured to dispose the battery within the second space and to introduce a gas leaked from the battery into at least a portion of the second space;
- and
- a second opening configured to introduce outdoor air into the electronic device in at least a portion thereof, and
- wherein the gas sensor is configured to detect the gas leaked from the battery introduced from the first opening, and
- wherein the gas sensor is disposed in a partial area of the first space, except for the second space.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing configured to form at least a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device and to form a space therein;
- a battery disposed inside the housing;
- a circuit board disposed inside the housing outside;
- and
- a gas sensor module comprising at least one gas sensor and mounted in the circuit board,
- wherein the housing comprises:
- a vent configured to introduce outdoor air into the electronic device;
- a battery chamber containing the battery;
- a hole disposed in at least a portion of the battery chamber and configured to introduce a gas leaked from the battery;
- and
- a cavity disposed between the battery chamber and the vent,
- wherein the gas sensor is disposed inside the cavity,
- wherein the gas sensor is configured to detect the gas leaked from the battery introduced from the hole.
