[0002] The utility model relates to the field of equipment for maintaining electric batteries in working condition and is intended for servicing, including charging, mainly lead-acid and lithium batteries of various modifications and dimensions.

[0003] STATE OF THE ART

[0004] A table for repairing batteries of the KRON-SDR series is known from the prior art (https: / / www.4akb.ru / p / akkumulyatornye-stol / stol-dlya-remonta-akb-kron-sdr / ), made in the form of a metal frame with a tabletop, equipped with an upper screen with an exhaust fan and cabinets for placing tools and equipment.

[0005] The disadvantage of the known solution is the increased labor intensity of servicing batteries, due to the lack of built-in electrical connections and organized drainage of technical fluids, which determines the need to use external power sources and perform additional operations to collect and remove technical fluids.

[0006] A cabinet for storage batteries without a charger of the Svetoch-02 series (https: / / www.4akb.ru / p / mnogoyarusnye-zaryadno-razryadnye-shkafy-i-zaryadnye-kompleksy / 2hyarusnie-shkafi-dlya-khraneniya-akb / ) is known from the prior art and was selected as a prototype. The device is intended for storing, charging and discharging acid and alkaline storage batteries and is made in the form of a two-level floor-standing case with transparent doors, equipped with a built-in exhaust system for removing hydrogen and sulfuric acid vapors and containing, on each of the two levels, roller grids for placing storage batteries, trays for collecting electrolyte, ventilation openings, charge-discharge channels for connecting clamping terminals, lighting devices for easy maintenance of storage batteries and equipped with a power control element for the lighting devices.

[0007] The disadvantage of the known solution is the increased labor intensity of servicing the batteries, due to the closed type of housing, the lack of an organized drainage of technical liquids, limited control capabilities of the electrical part of the device and the lack of structural elements for placing chargers, which leads to the need for multiple openings of the housing, the use of external working surfaces and power sources for charging and discharging devices, performing additional operations to collect technical liquids and complicates the independent servicing of individual batteries in emergency situations.

[0008] DISCLOSURE OF THE ESSENCE OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0009] The technical problem that the claimed utility model is aimed at solving is the creation of a universal service station for batteries that eliminates the shortcomings of analogs of the previous level of technology.

[0010] The technical result, which the declared technical solution is aimed at achieving, is a reduction in the labor intensity of servicing batteries.

[0011] The technical result is achieved in that in a universal service station for storage batteries, made in the form of a two-level floor-standing housing, equipped with a built-in ventilation system, roller grates for placing storage batteries, a tray for collecting technical liquids, charge-discharge channels at each level for connecting clamping connecting terminals and at least one lighting device and a control button for its power supply, the lower level of the housing is made in the form of at least two niches with trolleys for large-sized storage batteries placed in them by means of side receiving wheels and extending beyond the dimensions of the upper level of the housing to form its tabletop, which contains a tray made with an inclination, equipped at its lowest point with a reception of a drain tube for technical liquid, and a ventilation grill for the lower level,located behind roller grilles and equipped with at least two fans that are part of a built-in ventilation system, which also contains a ventilation pipe with a fan and a dome built into the upper level of the housing to form at least two horizontal surfaces for placing charging devices, side surfaces, one of which is equipped with an electrical panel, and a front surface with controls for the electrical part of the device and built-in electrical connections.

[0012] Built-in carts for large batteries allow for servicing directly at the workstation, eliminating the need for manual lifting and moving of batteries to countertop level. The lower level of the enclosure extends beyond the upper level to form a countertop, providing a work surface for tools and equipment, eliminating the need for additional work surfaces. A sloping tray equipped with a drain pipe allows for gravity-fed collection and disposal of technical fluids, eliminating the need for manual collection and disposal.Separate fans mounted on the ventilation grill ensure forced localized removal of harmful vapors directly from the lower level of the batteries during servicing, eliminating the need to interrupt battery maintenance while waiting for vapor concentrations to subside. Horizontal surfaces in the upper part of the enclosure allow for the placement of plug-in service equipment, including chargers, without the need for external support surfaces. The electrical panel located on the station enclosure ensures centralized power distribution between the electrical components of the device and the ability to disconnect individual electrical circuits without interrupting the operation of other components, eliminating the need to completely stop service.The device's electrical controls, including those for lighting, fans, and charging and discharging channels, provide operational control of the station without resorting to external power sources or searching for individual switching devices. Built-in electrical connections allow for direct connection of service equipment and chargers, reducing the need for temporary electrical connections. These design features combined reduce the labor intensity of battery servicing by reducing the number of operations and time required for handling, connection, diagnostics, repair, and charging and discharging.

[0018] IMPLEMENTATION OF A UTILITY MODEL

[0019] The universal service station for storage batteries comprises: a housing 1 made in the form of a frame 3 covered with sheet material 2 and consisting of a lower level presented in the form of niches with trolleys 4 installed in them by means of side receiving wheels 5, and an upper level consisting of an inclined tray 6 with a drain pipe 7, a table top 8, behind which roller grates 9 are located that form sections, behind which a ventilation grate 10 is located with fans 11 that are part of a built-in ventilation system, presented, among other things, in the form of a pipe 12 with a fan 13 and a dome 14 built into the upper level of the housing 1 with the formation of two horizontal surfaces 15, side surfaces 16, one of which is equipped with an electrical panel 17 with an input circuit breaker, a residual current device and automatic switches of electrical circuits, and a front surface,equipped with control elements for the electrical part of the device, presented in the form of elements 18 for controlling the power supply of fans 11, a regulator 19 for the speed of fan 13, an element 20 for controlling the power supply of a lighting device 21 installed at the lower level, charge-discharge channels 22 for small-sized storage batteries 23, each pair of which is equipped with a power control element 24, charge-discharge channels 25 for large-sized storage batteries 26, each pair of which is equipped with a power control element 27, and built-in electrical connections made in the form of sockets 28.

[0020] The universal service station for batteries operates as follows: the user, as needed, places at least one large-sized battery 26 on the trolley 4, which is installed using the side receiving wheels 5 in the niche of the lower level of the body 1, and places at least one small-sized battery 23 on the section of roller grates 9.

[0021] By means of the power control element 20, the lighting device 21 is turned on, and by means of the regulator 19, the optimal speed of the fan 13 is selected for the forced removal of harmful vapors, by means of which the air, passing from the lower level through the ventilation grille 10, is drawn in with the air from the upper level through the dome 14 into the ventilation pipe 12, being removed to the outside, after which the necessary service operations are performed, including cleaning, manual repair, diagnostics, connection and charging of the batteries 23 and 26. If it is necessary to accelerate the removal of harmful vapors from the lower level, by means of the power control elements 18, the fans 11 are turned on, which reduces the user's waiting time and the total servicing time of the batteries, respectively.

[0022] If it is necessary to perform maintenance using additional electrical equipment, such as a charger (not shown in the drawing), it is installed on one of the horizontal surfaces 15 formed by the frame 3 covered with sheet material 2, and connected to one of the sockets 28 or to the charge-discharge channels 22 or 25, depending on the type of storage battery 23 or 26, respectively. If it is necessary to independently control the maintenance of a separate storage battery 23 or 26, the charge-discharge channels 22 and 25 can be de-energized by means of the power control elements 24 and 27.

[0023] If technical fluids accumulate during service, they flow down the slope of the tray 6 into the drain pipe 7, being discharged outside without the need for manual collection.

[0024] The electrical panel 17, installed on one of the side surfaces 16, provides centralized distribution of power supply between the elements of the electrical part of the device and the ability to turn off individual electrical circuits without stopping the operation of the remaining elements, which allows the user to complete service maintenance without stopping the operation of the entire service station.

[0025] The combination of the specified design and functional features of the universal service station reduces the labor intensity of servicing small-sized and large-sized batteries 23 and 26, respectively, reducing the number of auxiliary user actions and the time spent on moving, connecting, servicing, and charging and discharging operations.
