Abstract

A wireless broadband device includes: a main body and an end cover, where the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole; a first battery is carried in the main body and configured to supply power to a circuit of the main body; a second battery is built in the end cover, where a power output contact of the second battery emerges from an inner side of the end cover; the inner side of the end cover contacts the main body; and the power output contact of the second battery contacts an exposed power input contact point of the circuit of the main body, and when an output voltage of the first battery is smaller than the minimum required voltage for supplying power to the circuit of the main body, the circuit of the main body switches to the second battery for power supply.

Claims

1. A wireless broadband device, comprising:

a main body; and

an end cover,

wherein the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole,

wherein the main body carries a first battery, which is configured to supply power to a circuit of the main body, to enable the main body to implement a wireless broadband function,

wherein the end cover is internally disposed with a second battery,

wherein a power output contact of the second battery emerges from an inner side of the end cover,

wherein the inner side of the end cover contacts the main body,

wherein the power output contact of the second battery contacts an exposed power input contact point of the circuit of the main body, and

wherein the circuit of the main body switches to the second battery for power supply when an output voltage of the first battery is smaller than a minimum required voltage for supplying power to the circuit of the main body.

2. The wireless broadband device according to claim 1, wherein, the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole in a manner of a snap joint.

3. The wireless broadband device according to claim 1, wherein, the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole in a manner of magnet attraction.

4. The wireless broadband device according to claim 1, wherein, the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole in a manner of a guide rail.

5. The wireless broadband device according to claim 1, wherein the main body and the end cover are assembled to form a whole in a manner of rotation.

6. The wireless broadband device according to claim 1, wherein the end cover and the second battery are an integral structure.
