Abstract
An electronic device having a main body and a battery mounting portion. A battery pack is detachably mounted to the battery mounting portion. A resilient member pushes the battery pack away from the battery mounting portion by a predetermined distance when separating the battery pack via a locking/releasing unit. The locking/releasing unit selectively locks and releases the battery pack being received in the battery mounting portion.
Claims20
A battery pack detachably mounted to a locking member which moves in and out with respect to a battery mounting portion, the battery pack comprising:
- a battery body comprising a locking groove corresponding to the locking member arranged on one side surface thereof;
- and
- a slideway formed between the one side surface and a lower surface of the battery body;
- wherein the slideway is positioned to contact the locking member upon the locking member moving back in with respect to the battery mounting portion after being separated from the locking groove, and thereby separating and releasing the battery body from the mounting portion without impeding the separation of the battery body from the battery mounting portion.
A battery locking apparatus for detachably mounting a battery pack with respect to a battery mounting portion, the locking apparatus, comprising:
- a resilient member, which moves the battery pack a predetermined distance from the battery mounting portion when the battery pack is released from the battery mounting portion;
- and
- a locking/releasing unit, which selectively locks the battery pack with the battery mounting portion and releases the battery pack, the locking/releasing unit comprising a locking member that moves in and out of the battery mounting portion to selectively engage with and release the battery pack, and a pressing member that biases the locking member toward the battery mounting portion;
- wherein the locking member pushes the battery pack further away from the battery mounting portion upon returning to an initial position from a battery pack releasing position without impeding the separation of the battery pack from the battery mounting portion.
An electronic device comprising:
- a main body comprising a battery mounting portion;
- a battery pack detachably mounted to the battery mounting portion;
- a resilient member which moves the battery pack a predetermined distance from the battery mounting portion when releasing the battery pack from the battery mounting portion;
- and
- a locking/releasing unit, which selectively locks and releases the battery pack received in the battery mounting portion and forcibly withdraws the battery pack being separated by the resilient member upon returning to an initial position from a battery pack releasing position without impeding the separation of the battery pack from the battery mounting portion.
