Abstract
A battery module structure is mounted on an electrical vehicle, including a retention frame mounted to a bar of a chassis of the electrical vehicle. The retention frame includes a top wall connected to the bar by opposite side walls whereby a space is formed between the top wall and the bar for accommodating the battery module. The battery module has a bottom face in which a groove is defined to fit over the bar and a top face on which a peg is formed. A mounting member forming a V-shaped opening is fixed to the top wall of the retention frame for receiving the peg. A lock member is pivoted to one arm of the mounting member and is biased by a spring to have a portion thereof extending into the V-shaped opening to engage and fix the peg of the battery module thereby securing the battery module in the retention frame. The retention frame has a back wall on which three electrodes are mounted. The electrodes are respectively and releasably engageable with jacks of the battery module to supply power to the vehicle. One of the electrodes is a grounding terminal for allowing for direct charging the battery module on the vehicle.

8. A battery module structure adapted to be mounted to an electrical scooter comprising a chassis having front and rear wheels and a motor coupled to the wheels for driving the wheels, the battery module structure comprising:
an electrical power supply system comprising;
a battery module having opposite top and bottom faces, the bottom face defining a groove and the top face forming a peg, and a battery module retention device comprising;
a retention frame mounted to a bar of the chassis, comprising a top wall connected to the bar by opposite side walls whereby a space is formed between the top wall and the bar for accommodating the battery module with the groove fit over the bar, a mounting member fixed to the top wall of the retention frame and comprising two arms spaced from each other to define an opening therebetween for receiving the peg of the battery module, a lock member pivoted to one of the arms and movable between a secured position wherein a portion of the lock member extends into the opening of the mounting member and engageable with the peg to retain the peg in the opening and a released position where the portion of the lock member is withdrawn from the opening of the mounting member to free the peg from the mounting member, and a biasing element arranged between the mounting member and the lock member for biasing the lock member toward the secured position to secure the battery module in the retention frame. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
