Abstract

The present invention discloses a portable labor-saving battery device for a electric vehicle, said battery device capable of providing power when installed on said electric vehicle. User is able to disassemble said battery device, drag and recharge said battery independently without much effort. Furthermore, said battery device is used as shopping cart to provide more functionality. Said battery device mainly comprises a battery set having a socket for recharge and a contact on a bottom of said battery set for connecting to said electric vehicle, a cap implemented on a bottom of a upper surface of said battery set, said cap lying next to said upper surface of said battery set when folded up and providing a load-bearing space when bent down. A wheel set is implemented on a bottom of a lower surface of said battery set for providing mobility. Said battery set having an extension bar penetrating through both sides of a top of said battery set and extending into said battery, wherein said extension bar is extensible inside said battery set for user to drag said battery device easily other than hand carry said battery set.

Claims

1. A portable labor-saving battery device for a electric vehicle, comprising:

a battery set having a socket on a surface of said battery set and a contact implemented on a bottom of said battery set;

a cap having a first end pivoting on a bottom of a upper surface of said battery set, wherein said cap lying next to said upper surface of said battery set when folded up and providing a load-bearing space when bent down;

a wheel set implemented on a bottom of a lower surface of said battery set; and

an extension bar having both ends penetrating through both sides on a top of said battery set and extending into said battery set, wherein said extension bar having springs implemented at both ends of said extension bar inside said battery set.

2. The battery device as recited in claim 1, wherein said electric vehicle having a compartment for carrying said battery set of said battery device, said compartment having inclinable track implemented with gap for said wheel set to move in and out of said compartment and to get stuck in said gap when sliding in, a buckle implemented at a front end of said compartment for said extension bar to connect said buckle using said springs, a back end of said compartment having a conduction contact for transmitting power from said contact.

3. The battery device as recited in claim 1, wherein a shopping basket is hanging outside of said battery set with a hook implemented at a upper end of said shopping basket, said hook clinging to an edge of a upper end of said battery set;

a support implemented at a lower end of said shopping basket, said support leaning against a first surface of said battery set.

4. The battery device as recited in claim 1, wherein a shopping basket is hanging on a handle of said electric vehicle, said shopping basket having a hook at a upper end of said shopping basket, a support implemented at a lower end of said shopping basket, said support having a crook for clinging to an axle of said electric vehicle.

5. The battery device as recited in claim 1, wherein said extension bar is extensible for length adjustment.

6. The battery device as recited in claim 1, wherein clasps and slots are implemented inside an extensible portion consisting of said extension bar and said battery set for extending and fixing said extension bar to suitable length.
