Abstract

A rapid-assembly battery structure of an electric scooter is disclosed. The rapid-assembly battery structure of the present invention comprises a scooter body. An accommodating tank is provided in an upper portion of the scooter body so as to accommodate a battery housing. Two electricity-conductive pieces are provided on the interior bottom surface of the accommodating tank, and two electrode plates are provided on the underside of the battery housing so that the battery may be electrically connected with the scooter after the battery housing is fitted into the accommodating tank. The top surface of the battery is provided with a handle so that a user may use the handle to move the battery housing around. Also, another battery housing may be additionally mounted on top of the battery housing so as to be used as a spare battery.

Claims

1. A rapid-assembly battery structure of an electric scooter, comprising:

an accommodating tank, which is to be placed in an upper portion of the body of an electric scooter so as to accommodate a battery housing;

two electricity-conductive pieces, provided on an interior bottom surface of the accommodating tank; and

a battery housing, comprising;

two electrode plates, provided on the underside of the battery housing;

a battery electrically connected to the two electrode plates; and

a handle, provided on the top surface of the battery housing so that a user may use the handle to move the battery housing around;

characterized in that the battery may be electrically connected with the electric scooter after the battery housing is fitted into the accommodating tank.

2. The rapid-assembly battery structure of an electric scooter according to claim 1, wherein another battery housing may be additionally mounted on top of the battery housing so as to be used as a spare battery.

3. The rapid-assembly battery structure of an electric scooter according to claim 2, wherein

the handle is elastic and has two ends, each of the two ends being provided with a positioning piece, and

a positioning slot is provided in each of two interior walls of the accommodating tank,

characterized in that the weight of the battery housing makes the two positioning pieces retract into the housing so that the battery housing may be placed into the tank when a user lifts up the handle, and that the elasticity of the handle pushes the two positioning pieces outwards so that the two positioning pieces may engage with the positioning slots and hence the battery housing is fixedly held in the tank after the user releases the handle.

4. An electric scooter with rapid-assembly battery structure, comprising:

a scooter body;

an accommodating tank, provided in an upper portion of the scooter body so as to accommodate a battery housing;

two electricity-conductive pieces, provided on an interior bottom surface of the accommodating tank; and

a battery housing, comprising;

two electrode plates, provided on the underside of the battery housing;

a battery electrically connected to the two electrode plates; and

a handle, provided on the top surface of the battery housing so that a user may use the handle to move the battery housing around;

characterized in that the battery may be electrically connected with the electric scooter after the battery housing is fitted into the accommodating tank.

5. The electric scooter with rapid-assembly battery structure according to claim 4, wherein another battery housing may be additionally mounted on top of the battery housing so as to be used as a spare battery.

6. The electric scooter with rapid-assembly battery structure according to claim 5, wherein

the handle is elastic and has two ends, each of the two ends being provided with a positioning piece, and

a positioning slot is provided in each of two interior walls of the accommodating tank,

characterized in that the weight of the battery housing makes the two positioning pieces retract into the housing so that the battery housing may be placed into the tank when a user lifts up the handle, and that the elasticity of the handle pushes the two positioning pieces outwards so that the two positioning pieces may engage with the positioning slots and hence the battery housing is fixedly held in the tank after the user releases the handle.
