However, acid battery packs have strict requirements on the electrolyte density of each cell during operation. The closer the electrolyte density of each cell, the better, ideally, the same. This requires a high-precision density meter to ensure accurate density measurement, which helps protect the battery, improve battery efficiency, and extend its service life.

[0074] The resonant tube sensor is composed of two glass tubes with magnets, and two magnetic heads are installed above the magnets;
[0075] One magnetic head is energized to generate a magnetic field, causing the glass tube with the magnet to resonate. The other magnetic head is affected by another vibrating magnet to generate current. The different density of electrolytes generates different vibration frequencies in the resonant tube, which in turn generates different currents on the magnetic heads.
[0076] The temperature sensor is used to collect the current ambient temperature and electrolyte temperature of the temperature sensor and send them to the monitoring circuit board;
[0077] The monitoring circuit board is used to determine the density measurement value of the electrolyte based on the current signal, and obtain the actual density value of the electrolyte after temperature compensation in combination with the collected electrolyte temperature, and convert the voltage signal corresponding to the actual density value into a voltage signal and send it to the display adjustment module;

[0081] In this embodiment, normal temperature refers to 25°C.
[0082] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: The present invention uses a power supply to power the monitoring circuit board and a manual pump to extract battery electrolyte to a resonant tube sensor. The resonant tube sensor consists of two glass tubes with magnets. Two magnetic heads are mounted above the magnets. One head generates a magnetic field when energized, causing the magnetized glass tube to resonate. The other head, influenced by the vibrating magnet, generates a current. Different densities of electrolyte generate different vibration frequencies within the resonant tube, generating different currents on the magnetic heads. This current is transmitted to the monitoring circuit board, which converts the current signal into a voltage signal that is fed to the display and adjustment module to display the density. A temperature sensor measures the temperature of the extracted electrolyte, which serves as a basis for temperature compensation, thereby improving electrolyte measurement accuracy. The present invention uses the pump to directly extract electrolyte from the battery for measurement, which is quick and convenient, significantly reducing the difficulty of liquid extraction and manual workload, improving work efficiency, and saving a significant amount of time for battery density measurement. Furthermore, the present invention utilizes resonant tube density measurement technology and also corrects the measured value through temperature compensation, significantly improving electrolyte measurement accuracy.
[0083] Example 2:
[0084] Based on Example 1, the circuit board is monitored, such as Figure 2 Shown, including:
[0085] A data receiving unit is used to receive and record the circuit signal and temperature signal sent by the resonant tube sensor and the temperature sensor, and obtain the density measurement value of the electrolyte in combination with the corresponding relationship between the current signal size and the density of the electrolyte;
[0086] a temperature compensation unit, configured to compare the density measurement value with an input density value of the electrolyte input into the battery at room temperature, obtain a difference between the density measurement value and the input density value, and multiply the difference by the electrolyte temperature density coefficient to obtain a temperature comparison compensation value;
[0087] The density measurement value is compensated based on the temperature comparison compensation value to obtain the actual density value of the electrolyte;
[0088] The current conversion unit is used to generate a corresponding voltage signal based on the actual density value, and send the voltage signal to the value display adjustment module for display.
[0089] In this embodiment, the density measurement value refers to the density value obtained by the resonant tube sensor through the vibration frequency.
[0090] In this embodiment, the input density value refers to the density value of the electrolyte detected at room temperature before being input into the battery.
[0091] In this embodiment, the actual density value is the sum of the temperature comparison compensation value and the density measurement value.
[0092] In this embodiment, the electrolyte temperature density coefficient refers to the change in density corresponding to a 1° C. change in electrolyte temperature.
[0093] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The present invention obtains the difference between the density measurement value and the input density value based on the density detection value at the temperature corresponding to the electrolyte and the input density value of the electrolyte input into the battery at room temperature, multiplies the difference with the electrolyte temperature density coefficient to obtain a temperature comparison compensation value, compensates the density measurement value by the temperature comparison compensation value, and obtains the actual density value of the electrolyte, thereby realizing temperature compensation in the electrolyte density detection process, controlling the measurement error within a certain range, and improving the accuracy of the electrolyte density detection.
[0094] Example 3:
[0095] Based on Example 2, the temperature compensation unit includes:
[0096] The temperature calibration subunit is used to calibrate the current electrolyte at high density and low density at room temperature, and to calibrate the current electrolyte at low and high temperature densities at the same high and low densities;
[0097] The calibration analysis subunit is used to compare and analyze the low-temperature and high-temperature density calibration results at high and low densities with the high-density and low-density calibration results at room temperature to obtain the electrolyte temperature density coefficient.
[0098] In this embodiment, high density refers to the highest density of the electrolyte, low density refers to the lowest density of the electrolyte, low temperature refers to 5°C, and high temperature refers to 50°C.
[0099] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the present invention first performs high-density and low-density calibration at room temperature (25°C), then uses electrolyte solutions of the same density to perform density calibration at low temperatures of 5°C and high temperatures of 50°C, respectively. The low- and high-temperature density calibration results at high and low densities are compared and analyzed with the high- and low-density calibration results at room temperature to obtain the electrolyte temperature density coefficient. This demonstrates the determination of electrolyte temperature density coefficients for different electrolytes and effectively expands the scope of use of portable density meters.
[0100] Example 4:
[0101] Based on Example 1, the resonant tube sensor, such as Figure 3 Shown, including:
[0102] The liquid extraction control monitoring unit is used to send a liquid extraction instruction to the liquid extraction pump when it detects that the liquid extraction button is pressed, and to detect in real time the liquid level of the electrolyte extracted by the liquid extraction pump into the glass tube of the resonant tube sensor. When the electrolyte reaches the top of the glass tube, the liquid extraction is terminated;
[0103] The measurement management unit is used to compare the volume of electrolyte extracted by the liquid pump with the maximum volume of the glass tube of the resonance tube sensor. When the two are consistent, the magnetic heads at both ends of the resonance tube sensor are controlled to vibrate to obtain a current signal;
[0104] Otherwise, a voice prompt to the user to refill the liquid is issued;
[0105] The drain control monitoring unit is used to return the electrolyte in the glass tube of the resonance tube sensor to the battery when it detects that the drain button is pressed.
[0106] In this embodiment, when the resonant tube sensor is drawing or discharging liquid, the corresponding button is pressed to the end of the stroke to ensure that the extracted liquid fills the glass tube to the maximum extent and that the liquid in the glass tube is discharged, thereby minimizing the impact of density detection on the amount of electrolytic charge in the battery.
[0107] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the present invention sends a liquid extraction instruction to the liquid extraction pump when the liquid extraction control monitoring unit detects that the liquid extraction button is pressed, and detects in real time the liquid level of the electrolyte extracted by the liquid extraction pump into the glass tube of the resonance tube sensor. When the electrolyte reaches the top of the glass tube, the liquid extraction is ended. Then, the liquid discharge control monitoring unit returns the electrolyte in the glass tube of the resonance tube sensor to the battery when the liquid discharge button is detected to be pressed. The electrolyte is directly extracted from the battery by the liquid extraction pump for measurement, which is quick and convenient, greatly reduces the difficulty of liquid extraction and reduces the manual workload. The volume of electrolyte extracted by the liquid extraction pump is compared with the maximum volume of the glass tube of the resonance tube sensor by the measurement management unit, and a brief judgment is made on whether there are bubbles in the glass tube. When the two are consistent, the magnetic heads at both ends of the resonance tube sensor are controlled to vibrate to obtain a current signal; otherwise, a voice prompt for re-extraction is issued to the user, which greatly improves the accuracy of electrolyte measurement.

[0114] In this embodiment, the built-in memory of the portable density measuring instrument can store 1000 data, with random serial numbers from 000 to 999.
[0115] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution: The present invention displays the actual density value of the electrolyte sent by the monitoring circuit board through the data display unit, directly displays the number, ensures that the user can quickly read the density value, improves the density reading efficiency, and stores different types of data through the data storage unit, which is convenient for the user's data archiving and subsequent search, and then decreases or increases the random sequence number based on the user's query direction through the data query unit, realizing free switching between stored data.
[0116] Example 6:
[0117] Based on Example 1, a portable density measuring instrument further includes: an interactive control module for a user to wirelessly interact with the portable density measuring instrument, including:
[0118] A backup storage unit is used to back up the long-term storage data of the portable density meter before the portable density meter is shut down and upload it to the cloud;
[0119] The wireless interaction unit is used to obtain the user's control instructions on the management APP and send the control instructions to the monitoring circuit board for analysis;
[0120] a detection prompt unit, configured to compare the electrolyte temperature collected by the temperature sensor with the current ambient temperature to obtain a measured temperature difference; and when the measured temperature difference is greater than or equal to a preset value, play a multiple measurement prompt voice message to the user, and mark the actual density values corresponding to the multiple measurements to obtain a marked density value;
[0121] A data analysis unit is used to obtain the density difference between adjacent marked density values corresponding to multiple measurements, and when the density difference is less than or equal to a preset threshold, a reminder is issued to the user to take the liquid again to obtain the latest actual density value;
[0122] Comparing the latest actual density value with the actual density value corresponding to the last measurement of the multiple measurements to obtain a measurement error, and when the measurement error is less than or equal to a preset error, determining that the latest actual density value is the final measured density value of the electrolyte;
[0123] Otherwise, the user is reminded to continue taking liquid for measurement;
[0124] A measurement number recommendation unit is used to obtain the minimum measurement number corresponding to different measured temperature differences, classify the measured temperature differences based on the minimum measurement number, determine the temperature difference intervals corresponding to different minimum measurement numbers, and generate a measurement prompt table;
[0125] When the detection prompt unit detects that the measured temperature difference is less than the preset value, the default recommended number of measurements for the current electrolyte is 1;
[0126] When the detection prompt unit detects that the measured temperature difference is greater than or equal to a preset value, the detection prompt unit obtains a recommended number of measurements based on the measured temperature difference and the measurement prompt table, generates a measurement recommendation based on the recommended number of measurements, and obtains a measurement error between the actual density values corresponding to the last measurement and the next measurement after the user confirms the measurement error;
[0127] The measurement error is sent to a data analysis unit for error judgment.
[0128] In this embodiment, the management APP refers to an APP that establishes Bluetooth or WIFI communication with the portable density measuring instrument.

[0131] The above technical solution has the following effects: the present invention uses a backup storage unit to back up the long-term storage data of the portable density measuring instrument before the portable density measuring instrument is shut down, and uploads it to the cloud. The data that the user needs to store for a long time is automatically backed up, avoiding the problem that the built-in storage of the portable density measuring instrument cannot continue to store new data after the upper limit is reached. It ensures that even after the original storage data is deleted, the user can still find the original storage data through the cloud, without increasing the memory of the portable density measuring instrument. At the same time, it meets the user's need for large-scale data storage. The wireless interaction unit obtains the user's control instructions on the management APP and sends the control instructions to the monitoring circuit board for analysis, providing multiple possibilities for the portable density measuring instrument, providing convenience for the user. During the detection process, the detection prompt unit compares the electrolyte temperature collected by the temperature sensor with the current ambient temperature to obtain the measured temperature difference. When the measured temperature difference is greater than or equal to the preset value, a multiple measurement prompt voice is played to the user, and the actual density values corresponding to the multiple measurements are marked to obtain the marked density value. The glass tube wall temperature is increased through multiple measurements, so that the measured temperature is close to the electrolyte temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of the final density value; and the data analysis unit obtains the multiple measurements of the electrolyte temperature. The density difference between the corresponding adjacent marked density values is measured. When the density difference is less than or equal to a preset threshold, a reminder is issued to the user to take the liquid again to obtain the latest actual density value; the latest actual density value is compared with the actual density value corresponding to the last measurement of multiple measurements to obtain the measurement error. When the measurement error is less than or equal to the preset error, the latest actual density value is determined to be the final measured density value of the electrolyte; otherwise, the user is reminded to continue taking liquid for measurement. When the difference between the room temperature and the electrolyte temperature is large, the test error is reduced as much as possible; and the minimum measurement test of multiple measurements is recommended through the measurement number recommendation unit, thereby shortening the judgment process of multiple measurements and effectively improving the efficiency of electrolyte measurement.

[0135] If so, obtain the recommended number of measurements corresponding to the electrolyte density measurement, delete the stored data of the recommended number of measurements starting from the smallest random sequence number, and update the random sequence number sequence to obtain the latest random sequence number sequence;
[0136] The parsing storage subunit is used to parse the user's storage instruction, determine the user's storage type based on the parsing result, and generate a corresponding storage tag based on the storage type;
[0137] The latest random sequence number is automatically increased by 1, and the corresponding storage tag is added to the latest random sequence number, and the latest random sequence number is stored as the display density value and its corresponding detection time;
