Abstract:
1. A battery box for mounting at least one battery therein, the at least one battery comprises a first polarity terminal and a second polarity terminal, the second polarity terminal of the at least one battery is electrically connected to a second polarity terminal of an external electronic device, the battery box comprising: a housing comprising a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, the top surface defining a first receiving space to receive the at least one battery, the bottom surface defining a second receiving space; and a switch apparatus comprising: a first conductor received in the second receiving space, wherein the first conductor comprises a first conductive portion and a first contact portion protruding from the first conductive portion, the first conductive portion is electrically connected to a first polarity terminal of the external electronic device; a second conductor received in the second receiving space, wherein the second conductor comprises a second conductive portion and a second contact portion protruding from the second conductive portion, the second conductive portion is electrically connected to a first polarity terminal of the at least one battery, and the second contact portion aligns with the first contact portion; and an operation element movable with respect to the housing and able to resist the second conductive portion along with the movement of the operation element, wherein when the operation element is moved to resist the second conductive portion, the second contact portion contacts with the first contact portion, and when the operation element is moved to separate from the second conductive portion, the second contact portion does not contact with the first contact portion; and further comprising a battery cover, wherein the battery cover defines a first concave hole and at least one second concave hole, a positioning projection adapted to the first concave hole and the at least one second concave hole protrudes from the operation element, when the operation element is moved to cause the positioning projection to be received in the first concave hole, the first contact portion contacts with the second contact portion, and when the operation element is moved to cause the positioning projection to be received in one of the at least one second concave hole, the first contact portion does not contact with the second contact portion.
