Abstract

A battery conducting device for a motorized scooter includes a fixing seat, a permanent magnet movably mounted in the chamber of the fixing seat, a bolt movably mounted on the fixing seat and having a flat plate rested on the permanent magnet, and an electrode contact member rested on the flat plate and attracted by the permanent magnet so that the electrode contact member is bonded on the flat plate closely. Thus, the flat plate is connected to the electrode contact member constantly, so that the bolt is connected to the battery constantly, thereby connecting the battery to the motor power supply input successively so as to supply an electric power to the motorized scooter successively without interruption due to a shock or vibration.

Claims

1. A battery conducting device, comprising:

a fixing seat having a first side formed with a chamber;

a permanent magnet movably mounted in the chamber of the fixing seat;

a bolt movably mounted on the fixing seat and having a first end formed with a flat plate rested on the permanent magnet;

an electrode contact member rested on the flat plate of the bolt and attracted by the permanent magnet so that the electrode contact member is bonded on the flat plate of the bolt closely, and the flat plate of the bolt is movable with the electrode contact member.

2. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fixing seat is a substantially sheet plate.

3. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a compression spring mounted on the bolt and biased between the permanent magnet and the fixing seat.

4. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fixing seat has two ends each formed with a fixing hole.

5. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the permanent magnet has an inside formed with a through hole, and the bolt is extended through the through hole of the permanent magnet.

6. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the electrode contact member is mounted on a bottom of a battery and includes a conducting copper, a magnet locked onto the conducting copper by a screw, and an electric wire attached to the screw.

7. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising at least one first bonding strap mounted on a vehicle body of a motorized scooter, and at least one second bonding strap mounted on a bottom of a battery and detachably snapped onto the first bonding strap, so that the battery is secured on the vehicle body of the motorized scooter.

8. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fixing seat has a second side formed with a peripheral wall having a side formed with an opening.

9. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the peripheral wall of the fixing seat has a substantially cylindrical shape.

10. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 8, wherein the chamber of the fixing seat has a face formed with a through hole, and the bolt has a second end extended the through hole of the fixing seat into the peripheral wall of the fixing seat and formed with an outer thread.

11. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 10, further comprising a locking nut screwed onto the outer thread of the bolt.

12. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 10, wherein the bolt is movably mounted in the through hole of the fixing seat.

13. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 10, further comprising a washer secured on the second end of the bolt and connected to an electric wire which is extended outward from the opening of the peripheral wall of the fixing seat.

14. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 13, wherein the washer is movable to rest on the second side of the fixing seat.

15. The battery conducting device in accordance with claim 8, further comprising a cover mounted in the peripheral wall of the fixing seat to cover the bolt.
