Abstract

A mobile phone and a device for fixing a battery thereof. The mobile phone includes a body and a battery. The body includes a first engaging portion, and the battery includes a second engaging portion. The battery is rotated to a predetermined position and is thereby fixed on the body.

Claims

1. A mobile phone comprising:

a body including a first engaging portion; and

a battery including a second engaging portion, wherein the battery is rotated to a predetermined position by means of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion and is thereby fixed on the body.

2. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first engaging portion is a groove, and the second engaging portion is a protrusion sliding in the groove.

3. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 2, wherein the body further includes a notch for inserting the protrusion into the groove.

4. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body further includes a first fixed assembly, the battery further includes a first fixed portion corresponding to the first fixed assembly, and the battery is positioned on the body by the first fixed assembly and the first fixed portion.

5. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first fixed assembly comprises:

a ball abutted by the first fixed portion in an elastic manner; and

a first elastic member, connected to the ball, for moving the ball in a predetermined range.

6. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 4, wherein both the first fixed assembly and the first fixed portion are magnets respectively.

7. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 4, wherein the body further includes a second fixed assembly, the battery further includes a second fixed portion corresponding to the second fixed assembly, and the battery is positioned on the body by the second fixed assembly and the second fixed portion.

8. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second fixed assembly comprises:

a stopper abutted by the second fixed portion in an elastic manner; and

a second elastic member, connected to the stopper, for moving the stopper in a predetermined range.

9. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 8, wherein the second fixed portion is a ratchet.

10. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second fixed assembly is a cantilever.

11. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 7, wherein the body further includes a battery bay for receiving the battery, and the first fixed assembly and the second fixed assembly are located at opposite corners of the battery bay.

12. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body is formed with a positioning hole, the battery includes a shaft corresponding to the positioning hole, and the battery rotates relative to the body by inserting the shaft into the positioning hole.

13. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body is formed with a shaft, the battery includes a positioning hole corresponding to the shaft, and the battery rotates relative to the body by inserting the shaft into the positioning hole.

14. The mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body includes a first connector, the battery includes a second connector corresponding to the first connector, and the battery is electrically connected to the body by the first connector contacting the second connector.

15. A device for fixing a battery of an electric apparatus, wherein the electric apparatus includes a body and the battery detachably disposed in the body, and the device comprises:

a first engaging portion integrally formed on the body; and

a second engaging portion integrally formed on the battery, wherein the battery is rotated to a predetermined position by means of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion and is thereby fixed on the body.

16. The device as claimed in claim 15, wherein the first engaging portion is a groove, and the second engaging portion is a protrusion sliding in the groove.

17. The device as claimed in claim 16, wherein the body further includes a notch for the protrusion entering into the groove.

18. The device as claimed in claim 15, further comprising:

a first fixed assembly disposed on the body; and

a first fixed portion, corresponding to the first fixed assembly, disposed on the battery, wherein the battery is positioned on the body by the first fixed assembly and the first fixed portion.

19. The device as claimed in claim 18, wherein the first fixed assembly comprises:

a ball abutted by the first fixed portion in an elastic manner; and

a first elastic member, connected to the ball, for moving the ball in a predetermined range.

20. The device as claimed in claim 18, wherein both the first fixed assembly and the first fixed portion are magnets respectively.

21. The device as claimed in claim 18, further including:

a second fixed assembly disposed on the body; and

a second fixed portion, corresponding to the second fixed assembly, disposed on the battery, wherein the battery is positioned on the body by the second fixed assembly and the second fixed portion.

22. The device as claimed in claim 21, wherein the second fixed assembly comprises:

a stopper abutted by the second fixed portion in an elastic manner; and

a second elastic member, connected to the stopper, for moving the stopper in a predetermined range.

23. The device as claimed in claim 21, wherein the body further includes a battery bay for receiving the battery, and the first fixed assembly and the second fixed assembly are located at opposite corners of the battery bay.

24. The device as claimed in claim 15, further comprising:

a positioning hole integrally formed on the body; and

a shaft, corresponding to the positioning hole, integrally formed on the battery, wherein the battery rotates relative to the body by inserting the shaft into the positioning hole.

25. The device as claimed in claim 15, further comprising:

a shaft integrally formed on the body; and

a positioning hole, corresponding to the shaft, integrally formed on the battery, wherein the battery rotates relative to the body by inserting the shaft into the positioning hole.
