Abstract

A battery holding structure for an electronic device is provided, which includes a battery chamber having an opening, a fixing member and a cover. The fixing member has a cantilever extending from the battery chamber to the opening. The cantilever has a pressing portion at the opening, and the cover has a pushing portion corresponding to the pressing portion. When the cover covers the opening, the pushing portion presses against the pressing portion and fixes the battery installed in the battery chamber.

Claims

1. A battery holding structure for an electronic device, comprising:

a battery chamber, having an accommodation space with an opening, for installing a plurality of batteries;

a fixing member, having a cantilever disposed in said battery chamber and extending to the opening, wherein a pressing portion is disposed at the cantilever extending to the opening; and

a cover, for selectively covering the opening, having a pushing portion corresponding to said pressing portion, wherein when said cover covers the opening, said pushing portion presses against said pressing portion to fix the plurality of batteries.

2. The battery holding structure for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fixing member is disposed in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the plurality of batteries.

3. The battery holding structure for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pressing portion and said pushing portion are respectively provided with a corresponding inclined surface structure.

4. The battery holding structure for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an arc-shaped structure is further disposed on one side of said pressing portion relative to the plurality of batteries, and when said cover covers the opening, the arc-shaped structure is attached to the outer edge of the battery.

5. The battery holding structure for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover is selectively moved to cover the opening.

6. The battery holding structure for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover is pivoted to one side of the opening and selectively moved to cover the opening.
