Abstract

PURPOSE: To selectively accommodate a battery pack and a dry battery and prevent trouble produced by improper accommodation. CONSTITUTION: In a battery pack 2 and a battery accommodating part 10, a coil-shaped electrode 14 for connecting dry batteries in series is arranged in the battery accommodating part 10, and when the electrode of the battery pack and the coil-shaped electrode 14 are set so as to face each other by mistake, usually an electrode 21 and an electrode 22 are short-circuited. For preventing short circuit, a projection 24a made of an insulator is arranged in the surroundings of the positive electrode 21 of the battery pack, and the negative electrode 22 is exposed in a recess 24b. Direct contact of the electrode of the battery pack with the coil-shaped electrode 14 is prevented, and even if the battery pack is set reversely by an error, the battery pack does not short.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the back and front of the battery pack are set upside down. In this case, the protrusions 24c and 24d of the battery pack 2 and the protrusions on the battery storage unit 10 side are shown. The parts 112 and 121 are in contact with each other and cannot be inserted, preventing the back and front of the battery pack 2 from being set upside down. Further, the convex portions 111, 11 on both sides of the + terminal 11 are
The width of 2 is larger than the distance between the convex portions 121 and 122 on both sides of the negative terminal 12. Therefore, the protrusion 24a of the battery pack 2 and the protrusions 122, 122 on the battery storage unit 10 side are prevented from contacting with each other, which prevents the back side and the front side of the battery pack 2 from being set in the same manner as described above.
4 and 5, the periphery of the frame of the battery housing 10 and the thermistor terminal 13 are omitted.

Next, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show a state in which the + electrode 21 and the − electrode 22 of the battery pack 2 are set on the side of the coiled electrode 14 formed in the battery accommodating portion 10, that is, the reverse setting. It shows the state of being. As described above, the battery storage unit 10 of the present invention is configured so that the battery pack and the dry battery can be used together. Therefore, the coiled electrode 1
Reference numeral 4 electrically connects the + terminal and the-terminal of the dry battery and connects the dry batteries in series, so that two coiled coils are connected to form a + side coil 14a and a-side coil 14b. . Here, when the battery pack 2 is set upside down, the + electrode 21 and the − electrode 22 of the battery pack 2 are short-circuited by the coil-shaped electrode 14 and a short circuit occurs. Therefore, in the present invention, this is prevented by the structure shown below.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the-side coil 14b of the housing portion 10 and the-electrode 22 of the battery pack 2 are set to face each other, the-electrode 22 of the battery pack 2 becomes Since it is formed so as to be exposed at the back of the recess 24b formed in the insulator 24, contact between the-side coil 14b and the-electrode 22 is prevented. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the + side coil 14a is formed in such a manner that a coil-shaped coil portion 14c closes the coil tip at the coil center. Therefore, the + electrode 21 of the battery pack 2 hits 14c, which is a part of the + side coil 14a, and this 14c serves as a stopper.

Further, FIG. 7 shows the minus side coil 1 of the storage section 10.
4b and the + electrode 21 of the battery pack 2 are set to face each other. In this case, the-side coil 14b comes into contact with the periphery of the + electrode 21 of the battery pack 2, but the protrusion 24a which is an insulator covers the periphery of the + electrode 21, and the protrusion 24a is covered. Since the negative side coil 14b is in contact with the negative side coil 14b, the negative side coil 14b and the positive electrode 21 are prevented from directly contacting each other.

On the other hand, in the + side coil 14a, the negative electrodes 22 facing each other are exposed at the back of the recess 24b.
Therefore, the + side coil 14a and the-electrode 22 do not come into direct contact with each other. Further, the + side coil 14a is formed with 14c serving as the above-mentioned stopper,
This 14c functions as a stopper in such a manner as to straddle the opening of the recess 24b. Therefore,
Contact between the + side coil 14a and the-electrode 22 is prevented.

The function of the thermistor terminal 13 described above will now be described. In FIG. 8, the thermistor terminal 1
3 is a thermistor electrode 23 formed on the surface of the battery pack
Is a terminal that comes into contact with, and is connected to the charger 3 via a connection lead wire provided in the mobile phone 1. Further, the charger 3 includes a detection circuit 35 and a charging circuit 36,
The detection circuit 35 inputs the voltage level (depending on the temperature of the battery pack 2) from the thermistor terminal 13, and outputs a charge enable / disable signal to the charging circuit 36 in response to the input, and the charging circuit 36 causes the mobile phone 1 to operate. Control the charging to. At this time, for example, instead of the battery pack 2, the dry batteries 31 to 3
When 4 is set, as shown in FIG. 2, the thermistor terminal 13 is arranged between the + terminal 11 and the-terminal 12, so that nothing is touched. Therefore, the detection circuit 35 detects the state where nothing is in contact, and if the charging circuit 36 controls so as not to charge according to this, it will not be charged when the dry battery is set. it can.
